When the screen fell, discovering the " little milliner," otherwise " Lady Teazle by all that's damnable," Joseph Surface was not in a more contemptible or more pitiable predicament than these very sedate and highly moral directors, who on the score of conserving the sobriety of the Sunday, break through all the most sacred principles of honour, of honesty, and of justice. Their hypocrisy proves to be as empty as Yorick's skull—" and smells so 1 Paugh 1" ardent, proud, superb, audacious, who stirred up the world and froze tyrants with affright?

That France which reckons, debates, weighs, and calculates, and which is laughed at and mocked, while her partition and annihilation are dreamed of—France, which fears everything except the Cossacks." "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones." So said Meitc ANTONY ; but every rule has its exception. In this present year, in the middle of the nineteenth century, in an age remarkable for its tendency to look forward instead of to look back—at a period, moreover, when royalty is at a discount—it is proposed to hold a festival in honour of a King who lived a thousand Tears ago In: the year 849 ALFRED the GREAT commenced his memorable existence at Wantage, in _Berkshire, and in the year 1849, at Wantage, in Berkshire, a jubilee is to take place to commemorate that event. Utilitarians will doubtless find abundant 'cause for derision in such an apparently useless cere mony ; but to those who, like ourselves, con , s ider the poetry of life as one of its most essential and useful elements—useful as is the salt to ?the sea, which it preserves perpetually pure—such an event will possess a peculiar interest and a happy sig mificance. Of one thing there can be no doubt—King .ALFRED'S jubilee could not possibly have arrived at a :more appropriate time. Much of the fabulous is very :probably interwoven with the records of this great :man, yet, making every allowance for this probability, ALFRED, in two distinct characters, claims not only the admiration but the gratitude of posterity. As a IPatriot, who, hoping against hope, and p e rseveringin resistance to apparently i nvincible foes, preserved t he nationality of his country and the i n depen so d u e g n h ce t h of ills countrymen ; and , as a Governor, who is own glory only by ensuring the rights and promoting the happiness of his people, ALFRED, in the nine 3enth as he did in the ninth century, may stand forth as i example to time-serving patriots and pseudo -1 i rulers. The example is recalled to us at a sin glilarly opportune moment. Never was Patriotism Is tore in need of the encouraging evidences of success i'77,ll perseverance, and seldom have Governments more e equired a lesson in the art of popular administration. such encouragements and such lessons are afforded 13y the history of ALFRED. When he led the forlorn in.ope of Saxon independence that cause seemed - a tterly desperate, and any expectation of success she delusion of a madman. ALFRED, conscious a - f the righteousness of his cause, never yielded to despair ; the Danes might hold dominion throughout the length and breadth of the land, but they never subdued that independent heart. In the clays of defeat and tribulation, as in the hour of vic ;c ry, alone and a fugitive, or surrounded by loving bjects, ALFRED was always more than a king—a :no ble-hearted and undaunted man. When he burnt the cakes by the cottage hearth, or when he divided his last loaf with the beggar, however humble his cupation or forlorn his fortune, he cherished within him a patience superior to persecution, and a hope t;li it would not be gainsaid. That patience and that hope (as such inevitably will do) brought their re word. Let Hungary take courage at the thought. PLLFRED is seated in the throne of EGBERT, and now we c antemplate a new phase of his great character. Many have, like him, appeared great in adversity, but few have abided the more trying test of prosperity. ALFRED, as a king, sought no individual glory, neither did he seek pleasure, except the pleasure of doing good. His kingly life was even more arduous than his preceding career. His apportionment of his LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1849. Poor KENNEY little conjectured that one of the most felicitous of his farcical characters was destined to - furnish a prototype to the Sabbatarians. Yet so it is, that Jeremy Diddler has given a hint to the Scottish Pharisees. On the commencement of this humbugging movement for rendering steam-engines moral and railroads generally orthodox, it was re marked by a no less virtuous or enlightened man than Dr. CANDLISH, that the ultra-Sunday conserv ing directors were decidedly long-headed ; and our contemporary the Examiner has very judiciously remarked that to be long-headed is syno• nimous with being cunning. Now, how far cunning is compatible with the propagation of real piety, or with the dissemination of a truly reli gious observance of Christianity, we leave to the deci sion of the common sense of the United Kingdom. It has been observed by the distinguished author whose pseudonyms are variously Titmarsh and Yellowplush, that the vocabulary of the Anglo-Saxon language has been recently augmented by many expressions not re cognised by our standard bibliographers, yet, neverthe less, interpolated in the latest editions of their dic tionaries. Among these accessions to the English tongue is a word which we may be allowed to apply to the conduct of the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, from the circum stance of its being the only epithet really descriptive of the nsture of their proceedings. Indeed the course pursued by these would-be northern stars of morality could not be characterised by any other term than that of a glaring and impudent dodge. A dodge it unques tionably is ; and no artful dodge either, but a dodge so egregious for its transparency, that it could not but have called up a blush to the by no means susceptible cheek of that very respectable young gentleman, Mr. JoliN DAWKINS, a personage immortalised by the familiar soubriquet of the " Artful Dodger." The trick to which we are calling the attention of the public is one played off upon the shareholders in the line already particularised, the line running between Glasgow and Edinburgh. On the occasion of a recent meeting of the proprietors, the long- vexed question of Sunday travelling was again brought under discussion, arrangements having been made for its final settlement. To this end proxies were distributed among the shareholders, the directors not being contented with submitting to them the simple propositions for and against, but adding to these another class of suffrages, namely those for " leaving the matter in the hands of the directors." The result of this ingenious but disreputable contrivance may be readily men- Coned. When the numbers came to be scrutinized there were found to be 7,565 votes for the opening of the line on Sundays, and only 5,836 votes against the scheme of Sunday travelling—leaving a majority of proxies amounting to 1,729 in favour of the system opposed by the Sabbatarians. According to all honest principles of action the only conclusion to be arrived at is, that these exemplary sticklers for a periodical stagnation on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway were beaten on their own ground. But, no. Recourse was had to one of the most pitiful and rascally dodges that could well have been adopted. The third class of proxies numbering in all just 1,839, the proxies (it will be remembered) for leaving the matter in the hands of the directors, were resorted to in the emergency—in the event of which the plan had evidently been concocted—and by clubbing these neutral votes with the minority of votes against Sun day travelling, the tables were unfairly and illegally turned upon the majority of the shareholders, a false majority of 241 being declared to stand on the side of the Sabbatarians. Now, we mean to assert that anything more paltry, more mean, more shameful, or ti..Tne is well known. To enumerate the benefits which ALFRED conferred upon his country would be to enumerate what are even now, after a thou- Fand years, the chief objects of English pride, tvad the chief bulwarks of English liberty. Tradition, .whether rightly or wrongly, traces up to ALFRED, as to their source, the principal elements of our national greatness and glory. To him we are indebted for our trial by jury, for the establishment of our universities, for the foundation of our naval empire, and a multitude of as enduring and hardly less valuable benefits. But whatever may have been the boons bequeathed by this legislator, one thing is tolerably clear, he lived not for himself but for his people. With a seemingly instinctive sagacity, the people have appreciated this fact. Their traditionary lore has rendered the name of ALFRED immortal. Since the death of the Saxon Monarch kings and dynasties have ruled over England and passed away into comparative oblivion. The pages of our history are occasionally illumined by the glory of a Plantagenet, sullied by the iniquities of a Tudor, or stained with the blood of a Stuart; yet Stuarts, and Tudors, and Plantagenets, and many more, have gone by, and are remembered only in the transient memorials of the historian, but no historian is re quired for ALFRED ; his fame is perpetuated by word of mouth. The people have cared for his memory, who, King though he was, was the People's friend. Here, again, is a lesson worthy of the study of all who rule, be they Emperors, Kings, Presidents, or Prime Ministers. How many of the Legislators of 1849 will have a jubilee proposed in their honour a thousand years hence ? M. TESTE, who was convicted in 1847 of corrup tion in his office as one of the Cabinet Ministers of Lours PHILIPPE, and sentenced to imprisonment for five years, and who had been permitted up to the present time to spend the period of his imprisonment in a Maison de Sante, has been removed to the Con ciergerie, by order of M.

He was killed on the spot. There were no papers found on him that could lead to a knowledge of his name. His linen is marked "H. N." The body now lies at the Morgue. This is the second suicide of the same kind since the revolution of February, and the 36th since the erection of the column. Sir H. L.

The truth is, that Scottish public, keen and vigilant as they are proverbially, h a ve been clearly ta ken in ; a n d loud as may, as wid, a , must be their indignation at the impudent doigo by which they have been victimized, these pious and Christian directors will stick their tongues hi their cheeks and laugh at the credulity through which their fraudulent machinations have proved suc cessful. As a correspondent of the Scotsman very htppily remarks, the proceeding is not only as knavish as that of the adept at the vulgar pastime of pitch and-toss, calling out to his antagonist " heads I win, tails you lose"—but it bears a striking re semblance to the conduct of the fisherman, who, on dividing the result of his day's fishing, with his negro companion, exclaimed with so much THE SIJN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 31, 1849. you, Lieut.-Field-Marshal, were to lead there in per s. n, in compensation for thN auxiliary corps sent you l to Deva, commander of the corps Banffy. Head commander of all the army corps and divisions as sembled in the Bacs-Banat, Lieutenant-General Vet ter. Other contentions I have settled ; but Colonel Banffy appeals to your order to serve under no one but you (on the supposition that you are coming in per son) or Gen. Perczel. I have sent him the necessary instructions; but I beg that you will also have the good ness, Lieut.-Field-Marshal, on your part, to inform the military commanders detached from your army that, so long as they are separated from that army, they must regard as their commanding officer the person shois so appointed by the Government. In th e p resent i ns t ance this is General Vetter, since you ar e p reven t e d f rom coming yourself. I must sincerely and openly declare my opinion, that if we can ?concentrate our forces rapidly, rapidly mind, the country is saved; if not, it is lost. My heart bleeds to say it, but I do s a y i t w i t h t h e fi rmest conviction, that it this were done quickly I would be ready to give up whole provinces, yea, four-fifths of the whole land to see our forces concentrated with rapidity. For so we shall beat the enemy, and the enemy beaten, the provinces are our's again; .but the army sca tt ere d th e na ion is ruined, and the provinces avail us n o t a j u t. Therefore it were my . wish, that y ou come w i th your • whole force to unite with the other corps, and took the command-in-chief; so shall we beat our enemies in de tail, one after the other, and conquer the freedom of the world. If this is not practicable, then I fear that within a fortnight we shall have a catastrophe. Mean while, I will defend the country to the last man. I have just summoned the whole of the Hungarian people to arms. The order . has been disp a t c h e d to Grosswar dein to get ready the course of this and the next week the two batteries, and to send them to you imme diately, as I promised. Whether they were to be horse or foot batteries I know not. But I believe that a foot battery is better to-day than a horse battery in a couple of weeks, for who knows how long Grosswardein may be ours? I beg you not to forget to dispatch immedi ately instructions to the Banat about the command-in chief of Lieut.-General Vetter over the troops there — it is moot urgent : else all will be ch aos t h ere. An d com mend me to your friendly sentiments, which I highly value. "L. KOSSUTH, Governor." " THE GOVERNOR OF THE LAND TO GEL L.F.M. BEM. " I hasten to inform you that the battle fought yester day before Raab has turned out unfortunately for us; our troops were obliged to evacuate Raab. So much the more urgent is the necessity for you, L.F.M., and your brave troops to unite with us; if this junction can be speedily effected, the country is saved. " The Governor, KossuTH. " TO GENERAL BEM. ' -L,1, -- ;'.. , 7 l '' lr'• "I have received your v a luable dispatches of the Bth and 9th of July, and hasten to assure you, that for the preset Transyl‘ania has nothing to fear from the Rus sians as yet on the side of Grosswardein and Debreczin. Pesch; bring and I have set the upper corps d'armee und e r the com man d of General Perczel, and placed 12,000 ne w t roo p s a t hi s disposal. With these 24,000 troops he has marc h e d from Czegled to Szolnok, ready, according to circum stances, to cross the Theiss, or to threaten the R uss i an s on the right bank. At the same time we caused an im mense levy of Landsturm of the brave Camanians, at St. Agata, not far from Kardszag, under Colonel Korponay ; and for the covering of Grosswardein we provided with two battalions of infantry two divisions of hussars, and eight guns, strengthened by a partial recruitment to the amount of 9,600 men, at the camp at Paspoki. The con sequences of these movements was the rapid retreat of the Russians from Debreczin, and their evacuation o f the whole line of the Theiss; so that the left bank of that river is completely free from the enemy, and the right bank is also in our hands. General Perczel is to • day in the camp at Szolnok and Abony, with th e inten tion of covering the right bank of the Theiss, and the space of land between the Danube and Th e iss, t oge th er with Szegedin, as well as, accordi ng t o c i rcums t ances , t o operate on the flank and rear of th e R uss ia ns , w h o sweep with their main force toward s H a ty an , an d f rom thence to Pesth and Weitzel'.

Therefore I have established it as a principle not to make the operations of the war subservient to the security of the seat of government, but to suit the seat of the govern ment to the requisitions of the war. I know that it is better so. To-day we are at Szegedin, next week, perhaps, we shall be at Arad or Grosswardein, which I should prefer to any other locality. As for myself, I am on the point of going from village to village to pick up volunteers, for I wish to form a new reserve of 30,000 men, and to command this reserve army in person. In a month I believe that I shall have the 30,000 men. General Vetter has begun to take the of fensive towards Jellachich. The brave Guyon has beaten Jellachich, who is fled to Titel. Guyon pursues him to-day, while General Kmeti relieves Peterwardein to-day. Meanwhile Colonel Ba,nffy taking up by forced marches the columns in Ecsca, Lucacsfalva, and Aradsz, is speeding towards Perlass, and will try to take Titel be fore Jellachich can get there, although he will hardly succeed, I think, and Titel will again be a hard nut tor us— Vedremo. The troops and their leaders are valiant. The upper army (as on that subject I shall have much to tell you) is still at Comern. On the 12th it had a great battle without result, is still in the entrenched camp, great loss on both sides, but the enemy's much the greater—particularly in cavalry." * * * * " General Georgey has been attacked at Raab by 50,000 men, and an immensely strong artillery, and re pulsed. In consequence of this the plan that he should advance against Austria and the lower armies concen trated here is become impossible. Hence the resolution has been taken to leave a strong garrison in Comorn, and concentrate the whole army lower down, so that the Transylvanian, the Deutsch. Banat, and the upper army, together with the corps of Visc , czky, should draw to wards Szegedin, and unite with the Bacs-Banat army. I have to add that the Russian army has sent a strong detachment across the Theiss at Tokay, of 8,000 men, and according to other accounts, of 20,000, and that these are to-day at Nyiregyhassa. The intention of this movement seems to be to occupy the country between Debreczin and Grosswardein in your rear, and cut you off from the upper army. To hinder this roust be at present our main task, and for this purpose the above mentioned concentration has been resolved by the Government. It is midnight: at this moment the Minister Csanyi, Lieu tenant-Field-Marshal Kiss and General Aulich start to take Georgey the decisive order for the concentration of the troops on Szegedin. I may add confidentially that the seat of the Government will be also removed thither.—Perseverance . and hope for the victory of our just cause. " L. KOSSUTH, Governor." " THE GOVERNOR OF THE LAND TO L. F. M. BEM. " Pesth, July 4. " The course of action adopted by Georgey during the last days bespeaks the intention of operating with the corps d'armie under his command upon his own responsibility, and independently of the Government. After the battle lost at Raab it was his opinion that the Government should transfer its seat, without loss of time, once more to the other side of the Theiss, as he could not answer for their security in Pesth for twenty four hours. Under such circumstances, as governor of the country, I conceive it to be my imperative duty timely to transfer to a place of security the moveable property of the State, and particularly bank, ammuni tion, military clothing, arms, manufactory, &c. ; but to keep the seat of the Government as long as possible in Buda-Pesth. The reports upon the march of the enemy to Grosswardein appear to be not quiet exact, Never theless, Visoczky has received instructions to cross the Theiss on the 7th. Meanwhile Perczel will pass that river, with nearly 10,000 men, to-morrow. There was a bloody battle before Comorn on the 2d. It lasted from nine in the morning till late in the evening, when the enemy, completely defeated, fled and was pursued by our troops. " In consequence of this, the Government is still at Pesth, and hopes not to be obliged to decamp. Mean while, myself must, for a time, take up my abode in Czegled. Of the main army 20,000 men abide as garri son in Comore, and while these keep the enemy busy, the remainder will withdraw against the Russians, and in connexion with the army of the Bass-Ranat, hold as base of the next operations of the war the line of the Theiss and Maros. General Kmeti goes from Stahl weissenburg to Pecs, crosses the Danube with the help of the boat-bridge which has been floated down thither from this, and put himself in communication with the army of the Bacs-Banat, in order to strike a decisive blow at Jellachich, and raise the siege of Peterwardein. Arad is already ours, and that Temesvar follow soon, should be our united aim. Visocsy and Desewffy have had agents for procuring intelligence. They never know where the enemy is. The last report is that he crossed the Theiss at Polgar. If this be confirmed, we will fall upon his flank with 180,000 men. This is a compressed sketch of our operations. Let me know, Lieutenant- Field-Marshal, what is going forward in Transylvania, and what we are to expect there; and please to send me reports, if only short ones, daily by the way of Deva- Banga, Mezo-Tur, Szolnok, and Czegled. " Lours KOSSUTH." " Czegled, July 9. " I hast en to inform the Lieutenant Field-Marshal of the state of the war here. Cormorn has remained occupied by from 18 to 20,000 men, to hold in check the Austrian army, or at least a great part of it. From 20 to 24,000 men are on the march from Watzan towards Hatvan. General Perczel has the chief command here over two army corps—his own, which we have newly formed of 10,000 men, and the corps of Visoczky and Desewffy, 12,000 men. The first of these is to day at Abony, and the second at Tortel. They proceed according to circum stances across the Theiss, or along it upwards, when the army moves on from Hatvan. Powerful columns of Landsturm are at Nagy Ivan, Karczag, and Pi,poki. The Russians, who crossed the Theiss and marched on De brecen, were 15,000 strong; but they have withdrawn again to join their army at Miskolcz, which consists of 15,000 more. The Austrians are marching on Buda, and yesterday their outposts were in BO; osvar. The bridge between Buda and Pesth is broken down. The Government is going to Szegedin. In the Bacs-Banat, General Vetter commands; under him Guyon. Ho has been reinforced by 6,000 veteran troops under General Kmeti, and has orders to fall on Jellachich. He is, more over, to raise the siege of Peterwardein, and take Te mesvar. The commander-in-chief of the forces :is General Messaros, with Dembinski at his side as general quarter-master. This is the state of things, Lieutenant- Field-Marshal. I look at the future full of trustfulness, but under the condition of a smart energetic military authority being at the head. I offer to you herewith, Lieutenant-Field-Marshal, the command-in-chief of all the Hungarian armies, and beg your speedy answer whether you accept, under what conditions, and whether you consider Transylvania sufficiently secured during your absence. I request your answer at Szegedin. " L. KOssuna." " Szegedin, July 16. " Not having any garrison at Pesth, I could not leave the presses for making bank-notes exposed to the risk of being taken by the enemy. It was therefore, necessary to take them to pieces, and to convey them, though weighing near 6,000 quintals, to Szegedin, and at the same time I was f orce d t o d o th e same w i t h the presses of Debreczin. It required at least fifteen days to place them in activity, and during those fifteen days we have not struck off a florin. That is the reason why you have not received any money, with the exception of the 125,000 florins which I sent you on the 9th from Szol nok.

I have accepted in principle, and have sent them to you for the details. I recommend them to you—the thing is very important. If you enter Wallachia, as I should wish, this battalion should form the advanced guard. Th e res ult would be incalculable.

The sales amounted to about 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and 2.500 on speculation, and included 6,500 American at 60. to 7d., 100 Bahia at 6d., 400 Surat at 4d. to 4 d., and 60 Sea Island at 10d. to ls, 3d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull, and prices were again lower. The Grain trade in Mark-lane is dull to-day at about previous rates. The arrivals are moderate. The Colonial and Foreign Produce Markets have been moderately active this week, and prices, on the whole, are fairly sustained. Cotton and Coffee are the favourite articles still, but at a slight reduction. A good deal has likewise been done in Sugar. Rice has had a fair sale. The following interesting information as to the condi tion of Jamaica has come to hand by a recent arrival:— " There exists, notwithstanding all that has been said and written on the subject, a manifest unwillingness on the part of our agricultural community to commence the cultivation of any other articles than those formerly cultivated in this island. Many we know are prevented from attempting anything new or novel, and obliged to continue a particular course. Others are unacquainted with the mode of cul tivation necessary for the production of articles not hitherto produced in this island, and a third party is careless and negligent about the matter. If all were contented with things as they are, and getting on smoothly, wo should not be surprised at this unwilling ness to turn attention to anything else. We hear complaints, however, from every quarter, and from all classes ; and loud and constant as: are these, we can discover no attempt to introduce new commodities, or to improve upon old methods of cultivating. Odr re marks apply more particularly to the small settlers and resident proprietors. There is no attempt being made by these to depart from the system which existed half a century ago, and none by the better informed portion of the community to instruct or inform them. Hence, in an island possessing great natural advantages, we perceive few, if any, evidences of advancement or progress. The cultivation of the great staples has fallen off, and numerous properties have been thrown up. We see this, but we do not per ceive that any other exportable articles are being added to the list of productions, or that preparation is making for supplying ourselves with a number of articles that aro now imported into the island. Nor can we believe that there is any unwillingness on the part of the owners or occupiers of land to turn their attention to other matters likely to prove advantageous. No one offers to inform them how to produce other commodities. No one, indeed, condescends to point out the advantages to result from their making attempts that way. Left to themselves, the people can only be expected to pursue the old course, and to do what they have been accus tomed to. In the absence of intelligent parties, who have the time and the disposition to instruct and improve them, the Legislature is called upon to make some effort for that purpose. We hear that our population is retrograding, and witness the absence of improvement in the mode of cultivating the land, and in the appearance and comfort of the habitations. But there is nothing surprising in this, when it is remembered that no efforts are being made, no means used to inform the people or to elevate or to improve their tastes. The next genera tion will be no better than the present. Improvement is, indeed, out of the question. There is little hope for the island if some means are not adopted at once to increase the artificial wants, and stimulate the industry of the masses, and also to teach them new modes of plying that industry, and realising the means of satisfy. ing these wants." This candid statement from a local correspondent strongly confirms all that we have stated on various oc casions as to the supineness induced in our colonial pos sessions by the protection system. And was it not until recently, almost as bad at home. The Continental markets' stocks had continued buoyant up to the date of the letters received here this morning. The English Stock Market has been very flat again this morning, and extremely inactive, presenting still, in this respect, a very marked contrast to the Continental markets. Consols have been 924 for both Transfer and Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 934 and the Three per Cents. 921 -I. Exchequer-bills have been 40s. to 435, and India Bonds 725. premium. The foreign news does not exercise any particular influence on the market. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet likewise. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 181, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 27. Mexican x3onds have been quoted 274 to 28. The fortnght's account is being adjusted, and passes on without the slightest difficulty, so little has been doing recently. Russian Bonds have risen again, being 109, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been buoyant at 53i 4. Railway Shares have been very depressed again. Great Western are nearly 21, worse. Eastern Counties have fallen I ; Caledonian, to ; North Western, 3to 4 ; and York and North Midland, to 1. Brighton are much the same, and Midland keep up. South Wales have been done at 13 to and so far yesterday's meeting seems to have done some good. In Foreign Shares there have been but one or two bargains. To account for the marked depression in Shares, we may may observe that there is an increased anxiety among the speculators to close accounts and leave town, and the public not operating just now, the Rears are om nipotent.

The Constitutionnel, it would seem, is now the official organ of communication of the Russian AUTOCRAT. The following announcement, which we find in that journal, reads as if published by authority : "It is stated, that according to the points agreed to between the Russian Government and that of Austria, tkt. Russian troops of the army of operation in Hun gary will occupy certain towns of that kingdom as long as there can be any doubt that the pacification of the coutry is complete, and that calm has returned to men's minds. According to the same information, Russia is said to have obtained from the Austrian Govern ment that Hungary shall have her separate line of customs, and shall not be comprised in the cus toms union of the Austrian states. It is known that Hungary had hitherto enjoyed the ptivilege of levy ing at the intermediate frontier between the territory of the kingdom and that of the hereditary states a duty known by the name of the Thirtieth. The collec tion of that duty demanded the maintenance of a separate line of custom-house o ffi cers; but at the same time that intermediate commercial individuality, of customs and g s u e a r r v a e n d t eteodptrootHecutntghaery ama nifestations of the country against the competition of the frontier countries. An association had been formed in Hungary under the name of Vedegzlct, which obliged its members to consume only national produce; and not withstanding the raillery of which it was the object, it exercised a certain influence on the advance of national manufactures. These manufactures, being arrested in their development by the war, would have the greatest difficulty in reviving, if an efficient protection did not aid them. That is said to be the motive which has determined Hungary to apply for a distinct customs line, and Russia to support that demand with the Impe rial Government." The Reform. has the following on the intrigues of Russia with the reactionary party : " As to the intentions and aims of the Czar, they are too plain to allow of the least doubt. After having con quered Hungary rather by diplomacy than force of arms, he now secures the rear of his army that he may be in a position to march to the Rhine in concert with Austria an d Prussia. It is for the sake of obtaining this end that he has deigned to conclude a treaty with Turkey, by which the latter engages to furnish a contingent of 35,000 men to keep down Wallachia and Moldavia. And now, ye statesmen of the 10th of December, if you see not the perils that menace your country, you are either blind or you are lending your hand to the Holy Alliance of the north. Nicholas plays his last card. The war, which was commenced in Hungary only to terminate on the borders of the Rhine, will be the supreme struggle between liberty and despotism. Europe will be Republican or Cossack." The Naturnal has the following on the fall of Venice : " A moment there was when France appeared to com prehend her duty and her right. A day there was when the Government of February desired to extend its hand to Venice. The ships were ready, the soldiers were designated, the road was marked out, and Venice had prepared for our brave soldiers some of those de ierted palaces into which Austria is now about to enter as a master, just as she did at Milan, nourishing her cane. We shall perhaps be able yet to show how our diplomatists contrived to bring to nothing this noble and patriotic design. To-day we can do no more than write these words with grief:—ln eight days Hun gary and Venice! France looks on and is silent. What? Republican France? The France of February?

The Gageta officially contradicts a rumour which had been for some days in circulation, that it was the intention of the Government to dissolve the Cortes. The Government has never for an instant entertained any such intention. The Duke of SOTOMAYOR having declined to accept the portfolio of Finance, it is considered probable that BRAVO MURILLO will be permanently appointed Finance Minister. There was, however, a rumour current in Madrid that it was probable MoN would re-enter the Cabinet. The Hacienda states that Senor BRAVO MURILLO, on coming into office, informed the Customs Board that it was the intention of the Government to pub lish the tariff without further delay than that re quired for its examination and regular course ; and that, in a subsequent conference with the director and sub•directors, he examined the most important branches of the tariff, as saltfish, iron, woollen, and silk goods; and " also the 2d article—that respecting cottons—which does not admit of any other variation than the tariff form which the direction has given to it, for the better intelligence of the offices and of com merce; and some restrictions in mixed goods, offered by the Government in the discussion of the Cortes, since both the values and the types of the duty, and the part which remains prohibited, are expressed in terms in the law, which admits of no alteration nor variation. The conference lasted till twelve at night, the Minister making arrangements for continuing the examination in the shortest and most efficacious manner." NARVAEZ, who has been recently suffering severely from spasmodic cholic, has had a relapse. The Espana says—" Our correspondent at La Granja writes to us, on the night of the 22d, that at three o'clock that morning the Duke of VALENCIA. had felt himself attacked with one of the nervous cholics from which he has suffered for some time. In the be ginning he sought to resist it without troubling any one, but at five o'clock the pain was so intense that he was obliged to summon his valet. The Duke passed all the day in much suffering. At nine at night the QUEEN'S physician, who visited him, found him much improved, the pulse quiet, and in the disposition to sleep. The Duke, on his part, was animated, and participated in the hopes of the medical attendants. The news of the ill ness of the President of the Council speread through La Granja with the quickness of lightning. All persons resident there hastened to inform themselves of the course which the indisposi • tion took, and the satisfaction was general when it was stated at night that there were not the slightest fears about it."

GE BMA.N Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY. VIENNA, AUG. 2g.—The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th contains a report from Field Marshal VON HATNAU, stating that the pursuit of the insurgents has been attended with the most decisive results, and that the whole of Transylvania is now cleared of the rebels, and that only a few thousand of the Polish Legion are now between Mebedia and Orsowa. On the 19th, seventy-two pieces of ar tillery were takon in the Valley of Thot Varad, belonging to VEESEY'S corps, the re mainder of which, consisting of 7,000 men, 1,000 horses, 4,000 muskets, and 2 field-pieces, submitttd to the Russians on the 20th at Boros-Jeno. BEM, and GUYON arrived during the night of the 17th at Dews, where the avant guard of General TAMERS was yesterday. The Hungarians, therefore, sought for an amnesty of 2.4 hours from General LUDERS, which was allowed them. In the council of war that was held, BEM and GUYON declared in favour of the prosecution of the war, but as this met with opposition, they left immediately, it is said, in the direction of Nuszberg. A mutiny broke out in consequence in the camp of the insurgen ts, the greater part of whom, 8,000, surrendered to the Russians, with 74 pieces of artillery ; 1,000 men dispersed th em selves among the mountains, and the rest, from 4,000 to 5,000, surrendered to the Austrian army corps, and were led to Temeswar. General DEssEwYFT has placed himself with his staff under Lieutenant-Marshal WALLMODEN ; the siege of Temeswar, will remain one of the most remark able in history. The city was bombarded from the 11th to the 17th of June inclusive, and from the sth to the 23d of July with bombs, granats, and 18 and 24-pounders, and the 15,000 bombs, which have fallen into that city have reduced it to a heap of ruins.— Hamburgh Correspondent, Aug. 28. The soldiers of GEORGEY are part to be enrolled in the Austrian service and part to be discharged. GEORGEY himself is to be imprisoned in the fortress of Olmutz. It was reported in Vienna on the 24th that BEM and KOSSUTH had reached Adrianople, and that arrangements had been made for their safe conduct to England. _ _ The following letters alleged to have been written by Kossu'ru to BEM, and stated to have been taken by General TAMERS among BEM's baggage in Transyl vania, have been published in the Austrian papers. They prove Kossuzu to be as great as a stratigist as he is as a patriot and a statesman, and show that had GEORGE!' acted according to the injunctions of KOSSUTH, the war would probably have had a very different termination : " THE GOVERNOR OP THE LAND TO LIEUTENANT. YIELD-MARSHAL DEM. " Lieutenant-Field-Marshal,—The eorps-d'armee of Georgey overmatched has retreated without battle to Miskolcz. The generals, chiefly out of fear of being crushed and dispersed by the enemy's cavalry, 18,000 strong, will not risk an engagement; their idee fixe is to unite with our main army, and they reflect not that thereby they bring the Russian army about our ears here, and leave us no time to deal a decisive blow against the Austrians, so that we shall fall between two fires. I announce this to Lieutenant-Field-Marshal, in the firm conviction that we can only be saved by a rapid concentration of all our forces (which will then be placed under your command-in-chief). We shall have the Russians inia week at Pesth ; still worse. we shall have them i❑ the rear of our army. We will do what is pos sible. I await news from you most anxiously. (Signed) " KossuTH, Governor. "Path, June 28, 1849." " Pesth, June 28, 1849, at night. " Lieut.-Field-Marshal,—Your letter, dated Klausen burg, 23d, has just reached nae. The intelligence it con tains concerning the Russian invasion in Transylvania was already known to me. The death of Colonel Kisz, at Cronstadt, has pained me deeply. I regret to see that the Lieut.-Field-Marshal cannot come from Transyl vania into the Banat. Great is the danger there too, as it is, in fact, everywhere. Now come our heaviest days. May God bless our endeavours, for truly we need it. In the Banat there is perpetual squabbling among the com manders. And yet without order, coherence, and union wo are lost. For the Bacs-Banat, since the Lieut.-Field- Marshal cannot come, we have arranged thus. There are three corps d'armee : 1. The one formerly com manded by Vecsey, now by Guyon. 2, The Bacs cons of Perczel, now commanded by Toth. 3. That which FRANKFORT. Russia is already commencing her armed crusade against the freedom of Europe. Hungary is fallen, and Switzerland is to be the next prey. It was stated at Frankfort on the 26th that two Russian divisions of 30,000 men, with 30 cannon, were on march to the Vcralberg, to take up a position opposed to the Swiss with the Austrian troops. The Archduke Joisrl is about to resign the Regency. . . _ The celebration of the first centenary of GOETHE'S birthday commenced at Frankfort on the 27th. On the evening of that day, being the eve of the festival, the first part of Carl GUTZKOW'S new drama, entitled Goethe's Youth, was performed in the theatre, which was brilliantly lit up on the occasion. A new overture and prologue were specially written for this performance. At ten P.M. a Notiurne was executed by the Frankfort operatic corps before the house in which the poet was born. PRUSSIA. The First Chamber met on the 27th to discuss M. CAMPHAUSEN'S proposition for rendering all future acts and resolutions of the future German Parlia ment binding upon the Prussian Chamber and Go vernment. The motion was carried by a large ma jority, of which the Cabinet Members, having votes, formed part. Th e w h o l e o f the Cabinet were present. A letter was read from the Attorney- General of Cologne, asking leave to prosecute M. MO ERA, a Member of the House, implicated in the late riots at Elberfeld. Referred to the com mittee ad hoc. Leave was then demanded to bring in a Bill to amend the system of reporting petitions. The House then proceeded to the order of the day, at the head of which stood M. CAMPHAUSEN'S mo tion. 31. GOLTDAMMER, in the name of the Com mittee, complained that sufficient time had not been allowed to examine carefully the voluminous documents connected with the German question and recent and pending negotiations. He, how ever, added that they (the majority) wer e o f opinion that there only remained one mode of settling the question without the employment of brute force, and that was through the medium of a state consti tution for Germany. Count BRANDENBURG was of opinion that the Chambers must be sufficiently en lightened upon the subject by means of the docu ments laid before them; " and therefore," added his Excellency, " should the Chamber adopt the proposition, the Cabinet will regard it as a vote of confidence, and act accord ingly."—(Bravo.) M. CAMPHAUSEN followed, and spoke during some time, but added nothing new to the arguments adduced in favour of his motion last Thursday. His final phrase was this :—" I can understand that it is difficult for some Members to speak suddenly in favour of the Ger man question. But it is not I that have urged them to this strait • it is the still echoin g thunder of the revolution. Decide, therefore, gentlemen, firmly and finally." Count HELSDORF rose to propose the previous question motivg. M. DE MAIcTEUFEL (Mi nister of the Interior) objected to the motion, and urged the Chamber to vote for M. CAMPHAUSEN'S motion—deprecated all delays and procrastinations, and declared that final decision on this question, and continued exertions on all others, was necessary, as a false report had g one a b roa d that the Government intended to adjourn the House until the first German Parliament had closed its session. HAMBURGH. HAMBURGH, Ana. 28.—The Borsenhalle of this day says :—" We have just learnt from unquestion able authority, that the greater part of the Prussian troops now in Hamburgh will leave the city between the course of to-morrow and the 2d of September, and that by the 3d only the 15th Infantry Regiment, the Bth Hussars, and a battery of artillery, will remain.
