man probability, be more than realised. A new mine is about to be opened, and although the richness of the concealed ore cannot as yet be accu rately ascertained, the indications are such as to afford a certainty of handsome returns to the speculators. The British Bank offers facilit!es to a very nume rous class, who at present are wholly excluded from the benefits of banking accommodation—viz., to the small traders, men who cannot afford to keep large balances lying idle in their bankers' hands. The accounts of those who have not considerable balances at all times available will not readily be accepted by private establishments; the proprietors do not desire small transactions. Even the joint-stock banks, that were instituted for the purpose of providing a remedy for the acknowledged evils arising from the failure of banking accommodation, although their operations have been highly beneficial, do not meet the full extent of the deficiency. There is, in fact, a hiatus between the legitimate banks and the savings' banks, which are exclusively for the humble classes, which it is the object of the British Bank to supply. For this purpose it is intended to allow interest at the rate of 1 per cent. on all balances on drawing accounts exceeding 1001. and not amounting to 2001., and of 2 per cent. on all exceeding 2001 ; and these balances will, as in Scotland, be calculates from day to day, and not on the smallest. balance on any day during a month or six months, as in the metropolitan jont stock banks. It is also provided " that no fee for clerks shall be charged to nor be allowed to be ac cepted from customers," although, " for the con venience of the less wealthy cutomers, deposits of any amount not less than cue pound in one sum" will be received. In addition to these great ad• vantages money will be received to any amount (in sums of not less than 205.) on deposit accounts, the principal not being repayable for six months, whereon interest will be allowed at the rate of 3 per cent., payable monthly or weekly, or at longer periods, as desired. As 3/. Os. 101. is the highest amount of interest allowed by law to be paid by savings' banks, andivery few pay the maximum rate, and as no more than 301. can be received in th e s e va l ua bl e i ns tit u ti ons in each year on any single account, and no more than 1,501, altogether, it may fairly be anticipated that this new feature will be made largely available, and that m any who would otherwise have deposited in sayings' banks will resort to the British Bank. In addition to the usual discount accommodation af forded to all classes of customers, the British Bank will also make advances on " cash credits" and on promis sory notes, convertible securities being also deposited, with a power of sale in case of default. These have be en found most profitable sources of revenue in Scotland, as well as most beneficial to the parties acc ommodated, and there is no reason why the results i n this country should not be equally favourable. The committee calculate on paying the share holders dividends at the rate of six per cent. per annum, after setting aside considerable sums to form a " bad debt fund account," a " clerks' fund account," and a " surplus or reserved fund account, for balance of undivided profits." Under such circumstances we cannot doubt the permanent welfare and prosperity of an institution starting under such propitious auspices The moralist nee d never l oo k f ar f or an examp l e of I 2 the vicissitudes of life. They are readily to be met with on every side ; nevertheless recent circumstances have furnished us with some remarkable illustrations of the vanity of human wishes. Not very many months have elapsed since, conspicuous among all other popular favourites for their individual virtues, and for the almost unparallelei adulation which en compassed_ them, were ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE, PIO NONO, and CARLO ALBERTO. How much. that enthusiastic homage was worth, let the mournful deathbed at Oporto, let the exile at Gaeta, let the sale— no, not the sale, GoD forbid !—but the adver tisement of the sale of the estates of hilly, tell. It ls the old rule, established from time immemorial, and it will continue so to the end of the chapter, men weep over the graves their hands have helped to dig ; nations erect trophies to the memory of those whom they have hurried broken-hearted to the tomb. Sar dinia, in token of her tardy gratitude to CHARLES AL -11"; will erect a statue to his memory, on the marble pedestal of which shall be engraven in letters of gold the words pronounced by him in answer to the address of the Senate, which was presented to him at Oporto. Moreover, the name of the dead KI NG , is henceforth to be " CHARLES ALBERT the 21 . 2 agnanimous! Thus will the royal hero be recom pensed, and thus will the Sardinians be self-exempted from the stigma of ingratitude. In like manner, we doubt not, if (which Heaven avert ! ) the illustrious patriot of France were to-morrow no more, the whole nation would wear the mourning of the heart, and France would resound with lamenting admiration for LAMARTINE— " When Ms bark lie buried deep Would Envy be the first to weep." Then statues would be erected to his honour ; then complimentary epithets would be showered upon his name; then pilgrimages would be made to the terres de Milly. Now France can afford to be forgetfuI—LAMARTINE lives. His birth- Place may be sold by the auctioneer to pay for debts which but for France would long since have been liquidated. It is an old story, but to us an i nexpressibly mournful one. Ingratitude may surely be reckoned as the most dishonourable of crimes. In individuals ingratitude is always base, in nations it is always unworthy. If any men are, above others, entitled to the hearty appr)b.ation of their country. men, it is they who have fought for the popular cause through good report and evil report—who have stood as resolutely on the people's side when thero was " not a shot in the locker," as on the day of victory. And to whom are the French people more indebted than to LAMARTINE ? 'We have already said what Would, in our opinion, be a suitable act on the part of France. We would have the terres de Mills, in deed, bought and sold, but not knocked down to any ordinary purchaser. We would have France herself, Who is alone responsible for the violation of the con tract, which ensured them to LAMARTINE, become the possessor of those lands, and transfer them as h:r gift to LAMARTINE. We say we would have this, but we do not expect it. If a monument or a mausoleum were in question, it would be different. Still we would fain believe there are in France many noble harts who individually sympathise with the Poet-statesman, ruined by his patriotism. Let them Come forth and prevent the consummation of that ruin ; it will be better than to hang a trophy over his tomb. If it be otherwise, however, if LAMAR TINE'S birthplace be consigned to strangers, his feelings, disappointed though he may be, will be en viable ones. He will feel that it was for France— France for whom he has always planned, and toiled, and written—that his beloved home has been sacri ficed. He would not wish to be the possessor of Alilly, and have the revolution of February unaccom plished. His conscience will console him under any personal sufferings, but how shill France console herself hereafter when the record of these things is i neffaceable ? 14 iONDoN, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.

The opening of the Stnsbugh Railway as far as Epernay, which was to have taken place on the 19th, and at which the PRESIDENT was to have been pre sent, has been indefinitely postponed. The reason given for the postponement is the health of the PRE SIDENT, which is so precarious as to render it impru dent, it is said, for him to venture to encounter the fatigue of attending a public ceremony; the nal reason, however, is the fear that, as at Havre, the people may exhibit more loyalty to that Republic of which the PRESIDENT is the chief, and to the Consti tution which he bas sworn to defend, than may be agreeable, not to the PRESIDENT himself—for he is, we believe, sincere in his professions, but to those Jesuit instruments by whom he is surrounded and ruled, and by whom he will be, ere long, betrayed. The illoniteur du Soir contradicts a statement made by the three leading Legitimatist journals that an appeal to the people was about to be made by the NAPOLEON party, and that the Councils-General are about to de mand an immediate revision of the Constitution. The illoniteur adds, that the Constitution is, for a certain period at least, the supreme law of France, and to de mand a revision before the day fixed would be not only a revolutionary act, but a crime. The Minister of nuance has reduced the interest on Treasury Bonds to 5 per cent. on those issued at three months' date, to 51 per cent. on those at six months', and to 6 per cent, on those at one year. A Cabinet Council was held on Thursday at the Elyree, in consequence o f th e rece ipt o f important intelligence from Germany. It appears that Austria has asked the assistance of Bavaria, and that the King of BAVARIA has consented to occupy Vienna and in vicinity with 50,000 men, in order to enable Austria to send the whole of the present garri son of Vienna to Hungary. The French Government is greatly alarmed at this step, as the public excite ment which will be created in France - by the intelli gence will be so great that the Government will be, probably, driven, in spite of itself, into a war. A third battalion, on a war footing, is about to be formed in each infantry regiment of the line. The letter of the Archbishop of PARIS, on the sub jrct of the affairs of Venice, was published without the knowledge of the Archbishop. It was intended merely as a private communication to M. DR Toc- QUEVILLE. The Aloniteur publishes a decree, signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing General Ex CELMANS Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, in place of Marshal MOLITOR, deceased. A second decree promotes General PETIT, Commandant of the Hotel of the Invulides, to the rank of Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. General OUDINOT will bring back to France with him a considerable body of the troops under his orders; not more than 15,000 men are to remain to garrison Rome. PARIS' BOURSE—FRIDAY, Auu. 17. TIIREE O'CLOCK.—The Treasury has given notice that, commencing with this day, the interest on its bona will be diminished. For the future they will be delivered on the following conditions:—At 5 per cent. for those from three to five months; at 5i per cent. from six to eleven months; and at 6 per cent. for one year. This step was considered in the market to be satisfactory. The Rente was again firm all d4y, and closed with a further advance. The Five per Cents. opened at 89f. 35c., and closed at 891. 40c.; alter the Bourse, however, they were done in the Coulisse at 89f. 30c., effered. The Three per Cents. closed at 541. 30c., being a slight advance on the last price of the day before. Bank of France Shares are 5/. lower, closing at 2,275 f.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. PARTICULARS OF DEMBINSKI'S VICTORY OVER. THE RUSSIANS. We are at length in possession of the intelligence brought by Prince OaLorr to Vienna from the head quarters of PASKIEWITCII, and cautiously suppressed by the Imperial authorities. The grand Russian army has ben completely routed by the Hungarians A bulletin from DEMBINSKI, dated Gyongyiis,July 24, speaks of a second great victory he has obtained over the Russians between God°llo, Szanta, and Jaszbereny, after having attacked them by sur prise in the night between the 22d and 23d ult. The Russians did not make a stand, many officers fled in their shirts ; others were cut down or taken prisoners. Two regiments of Russian Cuirassiers were nearly annihilated. The Russians rallied and fought desperately ; but about nine o'clock in the morning a brilliant cavalry attack, made at Szanta, decided the contest: The Russians left 1,600 dead on the field, and lost 18 cannon, besides 2,000 pri soners. All the baggage was captured subsequently in Hatvan and Gyongyos, then 14 cannon, 800 pri soners, besides more killed and wounded. DE!11 EINSRI expected he should be in Waitzen on the following evening—namely, the 25th ult. KOSSUTH has issued a new proclamation to the people. " The CREATOR of the Magyars," he says in it, " has brought the Russians into the land alone that they may there find their graves." He goes on to say that 5,000 Russians have already died of cholera, and 10,000 more have been attacked with that disease. He consoles the Hungarian nation respecting the Russian intervention by saying, very appositely, that GOD chasteneth those whom he loveth. He gives the strength of the insurgent army as follows :-50,000 men, he says, are at Comorn ; 30,000 on the Theiss ; VETTER has attacked JELLACHICII with 40,000 soldiers; beyond the Danube great national camps are form ing; and in the Zipfer region, among the Carpathian mountains, the brave and hardy inhabitants have again taken up arms in the rear of the Russians. " Our enemies," says he, " swim like islands in the ocean. The people is the huge ocean, on whose will it depends to cover those islands for ever with its waves." There is little doubt but that the Magyars are at . . this moment in possession of Buda-Pestit. Raab is still in their hands, and although the Austrian forces concentrated in the neighbourhood of Presburgh amount to 27,000 men, they do not dare to attack the Hungarians at Raab, or to attempt to check the sallies of the garrison of Comorn. Indeed, the Hungarians threaten both Presburgh and Vienna. Several of the Hussars have appeared in the suburbs of the former city, and the greatest dread of an attack is entertained by the Imperialists of both cities. The Emperor of RUSSIA has sent for Prince WOII.OISZOW to Warsaw in order that he may have the advice and assistance of that able General in con ducting the Hurgarian war. The departure of WORO/sZOW from his command in the Caucasus will afford to SIIAMIL an opportunity of which he will know well how to avail himself. The behaviour of the Hungarian troops inaßaab showed their high discipline, and formed an honour able contrast to the violence of the Imperial marauders in the same town, who plundered, sacked, and murdered under the eyes of their very EMPEROR. No private pr o p er t y was touc h ed, and none of the German inhabit an t s , f ew o f whom, indeed, remained, were molested o n account of thedemonstrations of welcome with which th e y h a d received the Austrian troops. KOSSUTH notes became once more the cur rent money. The Vienna lithograph correspondence says, that in the last sally from Comorn all the battery com manders on the Austrian side were kill e d or wounded, and that only one or two men were left to each cannon ; at a twelve-pounder battery only one cannonier remained alive, all the othe rs were cut down, and the battery could not be saved. Of the 3d battalion Baumgarten Infantry only a very few returned. The Ministerial Presse of Vienna writes :—" It is remarkable that Prince SCIIWABZENBERG should arrive almost at the same time as LAMORICIERE at Warsaw. It is more than probable what indeed has been talked of for some time in Ministerial circles, that the GERMS OF A CLOSE ALLIANCE MAY BE FORMED from the entente cordiale which now exists between the Cabinets of St. Petersburgh, Vienna, and Paris. The focus for the essential interests of these powers appears to fall on Germany. It is reported that the great powers of Russia and Austria, finding themselves unable with their united armies to crush the Hungarians, have determined on requiring the assistance of 50,000 men from Bavaria. It is lamentable that so much blood should be spilled, so much human misery produced in - an attempt to destroy the only constitutiOliat Ira" well-governed state which exists in the east of gairok.

Still we must not ascribe this wholly PRUSSIA.

The three Commissioners to govern Schleswig during the armistice have arrived in Flensburg on the 12th inst. Colonel HODGES received his Danish colleague, M. VON TILLISCH ; Count EULINBURG, the Prussian Commissioner, arrived later in the day. It seems that all the hotels in the town refused to give lodgings to M. Vox Tinmscu, in consequence of which the commission adjourned to Holnis, a smell island near the harbour, to remain there till the Swedish troops arrive. The Assembly in Schles wig was discussing the impeachment of the Mi nister at War, Mr. JACoDSEN, for having neglected the recruiting and equipment of the army. The de bate was still going on when the last news left Schleswig, yesterday; but we have no doubt the im peachment will fall to the ground, fur even the extreme left praised the high character of M. JACOB• SEN, who, not being a military man, has not those capacities the present situation of the ministry of war necessarily demands. The Danish prisoners of war, about 1,094 men, passed through Schleswig, on their way to the north, to be exchanged. From Copenhagen we hear that the Schleswig-Holstein prisoners, who had already embarked, had received contrary orders. The merchant vessels taken by the Danes have been liberated, and the expenses paid by the Government. ,o the discount business, for the addition made to the public deposits, after allowing for the withdrawal of private balances, would nearly make up the sum.

Under these circumstances, we should think it will be apparent to every one that retrenchment must be the order of the day, and we re commend the opponents of the Ministry to take that word as their cheval de bataille in the approaching electoral strut gle. Economy and retrenchment must be the watch-words of our party, if they would not have that odious word, repudiation,' thundered in their ears by a bankrupt people. There must be a reductLn in the expenditure of every department of the Government, from the Governor-Ge neral downwards. We must tell the Imperial Government that the people of Canada, being honest men wish to pay their debts and discharge all their ob ligations ; they are not stingy, and have no desire to pay a paltry salary to the individual, whoever he be, that is sent here to represent the Sovereign, but that stern ne cessity compels them to bo just to themselves before they can be generous to others, and that they really cannot affird to pay a Governor 7,500 L per annum. We know well that Canada, being under a quasi-monarchical form of government, cannot justly be compared with the United States; but still people will make the comparison. and we know that many persons are in the habit of drawing conclusions from what they see in the United States, and particularly in finan cial matters, very disadvantageous to the existing state of things in Canada. These people ask, " Why should we pay a Governor 7,5001. a year, when the good folks in the state of New York can get just as good a one for 3,000 dollars ?' Now we do not our selves think that such a small sum as this would do in Canada, where the Governor is expected to keep up a degree of state, and exercise a hospitality not known or required under a republican form of government; but we do think that a very good Governor might be had for 4,000/. a year, and a considerable saving thereby be effected. Iu a similar ratio must the salaries of all the heads of departments be reduced. We would not pay one man of them more than 7501. a year, and that is, we believe, more than twice as much as such functionaries are paid in the United States. No one can look through the estimates for the year without discovering that the expenditure of this country is abora!nably extravagant, and This o i uto s f sp al e l a p k r i o n p g or o t u ir pitaoinitlsy, bbutincome, and wan t s ." t few can di s p u t e th e size justice of the writer's assertions. The Continental advices state that at Amsterdam on Thursday, public securities were firm, but with rather less doing. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 52 13-16. At Frankfort Austrian Five per Cents. were quoted 76k, on the 14th instant ; and at Berlin the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 874. The letters from the manufacturing districts state that there was not quite so much activity after the recent extensive operations. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather higher for bills on Hamburgb, Amsterdam, and Frankfort.

The Austrian Ambassador has applied to the Porte to authorize the passage of Austrian troops through ,he Servian Principalities, and the Porte has refused he required permission. ITAL Y. Intelligence has been received from Rome of the 10th. The city continues in the greatest state of agitation, in consequence of the reactionary procaed• ings of the priests, who have ken restored to the domination. Nothing but the presence of the French army prevents the immediate outbreak of an insur rection ; and the POPE is about to offer the greatest insult possible to this army, to which he is in• debted for the restoration of his authority. He is about to leave Gaeta for Naples, after which he will visit Bologna, Ancona, and Loretto, all places gar risoned by Austrians, leaving unvisited Rome, where the French are in garrison. This last insult will fill the cup to overflowing. The French sol diers, disgusted with the part which they have been forced to play hitherto of lacqueys to the priests, are already sufficiently inclined to frater nize with the Roman people, and depose the cardinals from their power ; and this last insult will probably render it impossible to restrain them. There is, therefore, yet hope for the cause of liberty in Rome, although the PorE has determined to abolish the Constitution. The Government Commission of the three Cardi nals has appointed the following Ministers :—Bishop SAVELLI, Interior and Police ; the Advocate GIAN SANTI, Justice ; M. GALLI, Finances. All the Mi nisters who served under Rossi refused to accept office unless the Constitution were guaranteed. There are no less thau eighty-one exceptions to the amnesty published by Austria in Lombardy. The most influential of the nobility and proprietors of Lombardy are among the exceptions. Letters from Milan of the 10th state that GARI BALDI had succeeded in reaching Venice almost alone, and closely followed by his pursuers. He came by Chioggia. The Wiener Zeitung has published the following in a second supplement : " Official reports of the Bth from Trieste announce that the Venetian squadron, on the 7th, sallied out and attacked General (or, as we should say, Admiral) Dah loup, who, having coma as near as the enemy's shot would let him, retired." ~VIARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) BEGGING LETTER IMPOSTER.—Janet Smith, alias Fitzgerald, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having obtained the sum of 3s. 6d. from a gentle. man named GI egory, residing in Clement's Inn, by means of false and fraudulent pretences. It appeared from the evidence adduced that in the rly part of the week the prisoner went to the prose cutor's chambers and represented that she was in great distress in consequence of the death of her husband; that she was entitled to 101. from his club, but as all the arrears due were not paid, the secretary would not pay her the money, and that if she could not raise the amount of 3s. 6d. she would not be able to bury her husband at all. Believing that she had spoken the truth, he gave her the money and she left the house. He sub sequently discovered that he had been imposed upon, and gave information to the Mendicity Society, one of whose officers succeeded in taking the prisoner into custody. Horsford said the prisoner was well known to him; she had been committed no less than ten times during five years. Mr. HARDWICK committed her for three months. MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN.

Tur, EARL or LINCOLN, M.P.—We much regret to state that the health of the Earl of Lincoln is far from being in a satisfactory state, his Lordship having recently had repeated attacks of the gout, which have invariably had a ttndency to the heart; his Lordship's medical attendants, however, do not anticipate any actual disease there. His Lordship, accompanier' by his bro ther, Lord Robert, Mr. Granville Vernon, jun., and three or four other g ent l emen , we believe, will set out in the Gitana yacht an Monday next for Spain, and it is the present intention of the party to remain abroad for eight or nine months, during which they will visit the I3oly Land, Sicily and Italy, and proceed up the Nile as far as the cataracts. We sincerely hope that his . Lord ship will return again to his n a ti ve l a nd renovated in health and spirits.—Doneuster Chronicle.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, AUGUST 17, 1149. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. TILE QUEEN'S Cur.—The contest to•day has ended, as we expected, by the little Cygnet winning the Cup. 'l•he day was all in her fill-cur; she was started by signal at eleven, with a light breeze from the northwest, and a bright sunshine; in 26 minutes 45 seconds afterwards the Arrow followed her; the rain which had then set in had reduced the bteeze nearly to a calm ; then the Dryad started, and in another minute the Gondola. The match created very little interest, as there was no doubt as to which vessel must win. The afternoon setting in fire, the parade attracted a grod many, but. the diseut batkation of troops from the Echo, and the bend on board the Fire Queen, created more interest than the yachts. These time matches are quite out of favour; we heard nothing but regrets expressed that the yachts had not been better matched, and that the stror•g wind that bad visited ua during the rest of the week had de serted us to -day. The yachts arrived as follows: h. m. e. Cygnet, 35 tons, H. Lambton, Esq. ... 635 40 Arrow, 84 tons, T. Charrher:eyne, Esq. 7 5 6 Dryad, 85 tons, W. Dte!afield, EEq. ... 7 29 45 Gondola, 87 tons, W.

BRANDY CoLoURING.—An importation having taken place into the port of Douglas, Isle of Man, from France, of a quantity of an article designated colouring matter, it was subjected to examination by the autho rities of the revenue, in order to ascertain whether the strength of it was such as to make it liable to the duty leviable on brandy, from which it resulted that by the hydrometer it showed in its disguised state 50 per cent. of spirit, and would probably, on being analysed, be found to contain at the least 75 per cent. of proof spirit, which rendered it liable to the duty chargeable on brandy on importation into this country.
