Among the most interesting incidents (if we may so term them) which marked the entrance of the Royal Consort into the City of London this day, was the appearance of the following address to the citi zens of the metropolis—an address which was pla carded very widely on the walls of the capital : " OPENING OF THE COAL EXCHANGE. " CITIZENS OF LONDON. " Our august and amiable Prince Albert will honour the City of London with his presence to-morrow. " The Prince will be accompanied by some of the Royal Children. " The object of the royal ♦isit will be to inaugurate a building erected for the purpose of buying and selling coals. "Do the citizens of London know the perils and dangers to which the working colliers who obtain the coals they use are continually subjected. " DJ the citizens of London know that, since the year 1800, more than 20,000 human beings have been killed by explosion in coal mines ? " Do they know that within the same period of time more than 100,000 working colliers have died, before they have arrived at the age of thirty-five years from breathing the deadly gases of badly ventilated mines? "De they know that more than 600 people were killed by colliery explosions in 1847? Do they know that more than 600 people were killed by colliery ex plosions in 1848? More than 700 people have been killed by colliery explosions in 18491 " And yet the Government and the House of Com mons have refused to pass any law to prevent this whole sale destruction of human life. " CITIZENS OF LONDON. " The beloved Consort of our Queen, who visits you upon this occasion, would, no doubt, from that genero sity and nobleness of heart which he possesses, if he had the power, stop this atrocious system which daily brings misery and desolation upon hundreds of widows and orphans. But our Royal Family have no such power. It is her Majesty's Ministers, backed by a majority of the House of Commons, who can alone amend the present laws. And the working colliers ask you, upon this day of rejoicing, that you will urge upon the distinguished assembly gathered around your Coal Exchange, the justice and the necessity of passing a law to compel an efficient inspection of the coal mines." Earnestly and profoundly do we trust that the benevolent project unfolded in the foregoing appeal may be met with a becoming response; and that the royal entrance of that illustrious personage who is justly termed the august and amiable Prince ALBERT into the chief city of our Sovereign Lady the QUEEN, will be commemorative of a beneficent change in the condition of ono of the most industrious and cruelly neglected portions of the community. Europe will not very easily lose a recollection of the weakness, the incapacity, the cruelty, and the perfif-ly displayed by the Austrian Government. Its weakness was so conspicuous that in the midst of an imperial panic the councils holden at Olmutz were compelled to call in the instant assistance of the AUTOCRAT. Its incapacity was evinced in glaring colours by the successive degradation of WELDEN and WINDISCHGRATZ. Its cruelty was regarded as so unutterably diabolical that HA YNAU, still reeking with the blood shed in his career of vengeance and massacre, was for a moment supposed to hove been obliged to retreat before the yells of indig nation resounding from all parts of Christendom. Its perfidy, recognisable, more or less during the last sixty years, has been brought to light in the most flagrant manner by the recent policy of FRANCIS JosEru and his predecessor FERDINAND. Dis honoured, degraded, detested, dyed in in effaceable infamy, and shaken by the shocks of revolution to its very foundations, the Austrian Empire still exists exists by the organized Terrorism of a Red EMPEROR, whose emblems of authorij are the rope, the axe, and the guillotine; whose representatives are the hangman, the gaoler, and the incendiary; and the achievements of whose reign are the systematised crimes of arson, pillage, and assassination. Yet there are mortals so credulous as to believe in the permanence of this abhorred and heterogeneous despotism I as if the history of nations has afforded any precedent of the perpetration of a scheme of such an atrocious character I So far does the wisdom of the historian teach otherwise, that we view the main tenance of an empire so incarnadined with butchery as an absolute impossibility. It is not enough to say that its maintenance would be miraculous. His tory assures us that it is and ever will be impossible. The despot and the despotism have but one doom—destruction. The doom of the despot is that of falling beneath the hand of some avenging murderer—smothered in his bed, or strangled on the floor of his apartment, or stabbed in the back, or pierced by the furtive bullet. So invariably has this been the destiny of the Czars of Russia, that whenever the EMPEROR is assassinated he is bitterly, and pointedly declared to have died " a natural death." And the saying is true, fur the Natural Death of a Tyrant is assassination. The same With the despotism as with the _despot. When calamities have demonstrated at once the weakness, the perfidy, the cruelty, and the incapacity of a despotic Government—then farewell to the prestige which m ight otherwise have i n d uced millions to obey while they cursed, to fear while they hated, to kiss the rod they yearn to grasp as an instrument of vengeance against their oppressors. , Yea I a n d such will be the fate of th e Austrian Government. The' day of its dissolution is fixed in the inscrutable designs of OMNIPOTENCE. From the innermost depths of our heart we shall rejoice when that occasion o f solemn retribution shall have arrived. For the appalling atrocities which are now perpetrated in the name of imperial Austria upon the vanquished people of Hungary are sufficient to cause a shudder to thrill through the bosom even of the most obdurate an d pitiless spectator. It was rumoured only a day or so back that the arch crimes of the German Fiend HAYNAII had carried dismay and horror even into the Camarilla at Schoenbrunn. So far is the rumour from proving correct that we immediately afterwards receive intelligence that the previous atrocities of that inhuman monster are being emulated in depth and ruthlessness by others more recent and diabolical. Instead of having retired before the indignation of Europe and the alarm of Austria—HAYNAU has been formally appointed Governor over Hungary. As if to be agreeably inaugurative of his Viceregal Government, the mur derer of Kiss, of AuLicu, and of Count BATTHYANY, on the 20th instant caused three more assassin-like executions to take place in Pesth, the execution of GIUoN, Of ADANCOURT, and of Prince WORONIECKI. Again the rope of the felon was fastened round the necks of the noble, the brave, and the patriotic ; again the bloodhound of Austria had his thirst for murder partially slaked on the Tyburn or the Place de Greve of the Hungarian metropolis, the ever horrible scene of these catastrophes, the Holzplatz. When the heroic commander of the Germanic legion, that noble band which assisted in the storming of Buda, was brought to the spot on which he was to suffer an ignominious death, when the generous and dauntless adjutant of DEMBINSKI had ascended the scaffold, when the young, the valiant, the handsome, and magnanimous Prince WORO- NiEcKr was placed under the accursed gibbet— it is said that even the troop of cavalry surrounding the gallows, and guarding it with bared swords, seemed to share with the horror-stricken spectators their feelings of profound and visible com miseration. Age and youth, virtue and genius, are alike sacrificed to the lust of slaughter, which now appears to be uppermost in the nature of HAYNAU and his imperial accomplices. Poor Gistox was compelled to " die the death," although his heart strings must have burst, almost before he was strangled by the hangman, at the thought of his little orphan children. ABANCOURT seems to have met his doom with the unblenching valour befitting a Polish warrior. But it is said that the Prince WORONIECKI (who was both youthful and handsome), although he bore himself throughout with distin guished fortitude, looked nevertheless pale and downcast as he stood under the noose on the scaffold. GOD knows his proud but gentle heart had cause enough for sadness ! No marvel that the beauty of his retinues was overcast with pallor and dejection ! With his life closed at its early morning, with his companions by his side about to suffer with him an ignominious execution, with his country in the grasp of a band of demons, no wonder the countenance of the unfortunate was pale and downcast ! The horrible scene closed with a prayer uttered simultaneously by the people and the soldiery. May that prayer be heard by the Great GOD, who is not only the GOD of Mercy but of Justice ! HE who will not permit any intrusion upon his awful and infinite prerogatives, and whose voice has proclaimed, not in thunder and lightning, but in tones which are still 'audible, that tremendous truth— " VENGEANCE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD !" Although leave has been reserved to the Learned Counsel for MARIA MANNING to place the prelimi nary objection to the constitution of the jury, by whom the wretched criminal was most righteously convicted, either upon the record, or to bring it under the consideration of the Court of Criminal Ap peal, the ultimate result cannot, in any degree, be affected thereby. The case was to all intents and purposes finally and irrevocably decided when the jury returned the conscientious verdict which con signed the wilful and deliberate murderess to an igno minious death upon the scaffold, as the only adequate expiation of her enormous guilt. The arguments of the Attorney-General and the judgment of the pre siding Judges were placed upon too clear and solid foundations to permit the slightest doubt to remain upon the question. The demand of Mr. BALLANTIXE for a jury de medietate lingua was entirely based upon the assumption that his client was technically and legally an alien—that she was not entitled to the full and unconditional rights of a British subject, and that consequently she could claim the privilege with which the humanity of the British law had invested a stranger. The Act 7 and 8 Victoria,' chapter 66, sec. 16, was, however, conclusive on the point. By that statute it was enacted, " that any woman mar ried, or who shall be married, to a natural born subject, or person naturalized, shall be deemed and taken to be herself naturalized, and have all the rights and privileges of a natural born subject." The marriage was not denied, and on its celebration MARIA MANNING became a British subject, owing allegiance to the British SOVEREIGN and liable to be tried by a British jury in the event of any infraction of the laws of her adopted country. Her entire status or condition was altered ; she was no longer regarded as an alien, that could be ordered out of the country at a moment's notice. It was with her own free will and consent, by her own deliberate act, that the change was effected, and she cannot now complain of its necessary consequence. When she became entitled to all the rights and privileges of a British born subject, she assumed at the same moment its respon sibilities. One of these very privileges was, that she could not be subjected to punishment until she had been convicted of an offence by the unanimous judg ment of twelve of her peers, who must be " of the king's liege people, returned by sheriffs or bailiffs of franchises, and of whom none shall be outlawed or fled to sanctuary for treason or felony." No only, therefore, had she no possible right to demand a trial de medietate lingua, but if that demand had been conceded the proceedings would have been absolutely null and void, and she could not receive the extreme punishment she had so justly merited. The Lord Chief Baron, in delivering the judgment of the Court, relied solely on the change of condition effected by the marriage, and the 7 and 8 Viet., c. 66. He did not in any degree rest his decision on the point in BARRE'S case, a precedent, to say the least of it, of a very doubtful character, and which, if solemnly im peached, would scarcely be affirmed by the Judges of England in the 19th century. Even should the point be carried further it could not lead to any very great delay in the execution of the sentence. If referred to the Court of Appeal in criminal cases, it will be adjudicated on early in the term, which commences on Friday next. If, on the other hand, the objection should be placed on the record, it would be set down for argument on the very earliest day, and we can scarcely suppose that two barristers of respectable standing and acquire ments would pledge their professional reputations to the validity of the point by giving the necessary certi ficates to carry the case before the House of Lords, the ultimate tribunal, or even that the Attorney- General would grant his sanction to any further appeal on a question so utterly untenable. We cannot conclude our observations on this ex traordinary and atrocious case without alluding to the severe and most unwarranted censures attempted to be cast by a morning contemporary upon Mr. Sergeant WILKINS for the manner in which he conducted the case for the male prisoner. It may appear an act of supererogation to enter upon any justification of that accomplished and eminent lawyer for adopting the only line of defence that af forded the slightest chance of escape to his unfortunate and guilty client. An exceedingly disagreeable and painful duty was cast upon the learned gentleman ; he discharged it boldly and manfully. He did not shrink from the arduous and unpleasing task. Every unprejudiced person who listened to his bril liant and impressive address—an address that more than sustained the distinguished reputation he had pre viously so fully established—must have felt that no alternative remained unless he was prepared to sacrifice the wretched criminal, whose ultimate fate for life or death depended upon the effect of his ap peal. It had been clearly and distinctly proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the fearful act had been committed by one or both of the parties then on trial ; that the murder had either been perpetrated by the prisoners jointly, or by one of them without the assistance and co-operation of the other. The latter assumption was the only one that defence, could be ad vance d b y e i ther of t h e advocates f or t h e client each should by casting necessarily the g guilt It endeavour upon t o shield tis andownthe other. It was the defence set - up by MANNING him self at the moment of his capture, and in which he had steadily persevered until the very last moment It was his statement to the police- o ff icer b y whom he was arrested. His first questions were with respect to " the wretch," whether she had - been apprehended, 441 AO • 4114 , ' 4#l 11 • .1 au l 111( 1. " 111111:%, , 0 %.‘ "•' „d":„1 4 1. • 4 r • xt THE SUN, LONDON, and as to the amount that had been found upon her ? He then declared that she had shot O'CoNNon when going down to wash his hands, adding that " he was sure she would confess in the presence of a clergy man," and inquiring whether, "if she confessed he would be permitted to go free ?" and also saying that " he was a great fool that he did not stop and explain all." With such declarations in evidence, with the instructions to a similar effect, which we may safely assume to have been contained in his brief, no advocate could have been for a moment justified in offering a different line of defence ; and it was a more straightforward and honourable course to do so openly and distinctly than to have put forward insinuations, such as were made on behalf of the female prisoner. We do not reproach Mr, Raman- TINEfor trying to save his client at the expense of her husband, nor should we do so had he unequivocally charged that husband as the sole perpetrator of the murder, but he should not have ventured to impeach one of the most brilliant ornaments of his profession, nay, his very profession itself, as not warranting such a line of defence. The Attorney- General spoke the universal sentiments of his legal brethren when he stated " that Mr. BALLANTINE was NOT warranted (the NOT being unaccountably omitted in the report of the contemporary to whom we have alluded) in considered by be the (Sergeant Learned s complaininga adding n t g h e t h c a o t ur e ad , h eted WILKINs) had only do ne his dut y as an advocate to op his client ; and he must say that it appeared to him a more manly course boldly to state a charge against a party, and the grounds upon which that charge was supported, than to insinuate it, and not have the bold ness to openly make the accusation." The Chief Baron also showed his opinion of the defence of Mr. BALLAN TINE, when he said, " One of the Learned Gentle men:directly and openly repudiated, on the part of the man, all share in the crime, and threw the guilt upon the woman ; while the other Learned Gentle man, not quite so openly, but still distinctly enough, endeavoured to exculpate the woman, and throw the guilt upon the man." The person must know but little of the duties or feelings of an English barrister—the member of one of our noblest professions—who could dare to assert that "it was strange to find an English advocate rising in his place, and permitting himself to be made the medium of conveying to the jury the dastardly lies and equivocations of such a ruffian as MANNING.' Notwithstanding the extraordinary mutilation of the report of the Attorney-General's observations the context was sufficiently distinct to show the opinion which that learned functionary entertained of the impropriety of the petulant and wanton attack which was subsequently adopted in language and form by our contemporary. The first law officer of the Crown well knew the inconvenience that would be occasioned if every ad vocate was to set himself up as the judge of the guilt or innocence of his client—if the man who was retained to defend should himself be the first to condemn. He knew the mischiefs that would inevit ably arise if counsel were to be held responsible for the truth or accuracy of the statements he might put forward in accordance with his instructions. If such were the case the barrister would no longer be the advocate, but the witness for the prisoner. On the strength and solemnity of his asseverations would depend the result of the trial, the conviction, or ac quittal of the prisoners. The principle was therefore unanimously adopted, and from time immemorial has been recognized, that the barrister must apply all his energies to obtain the acquittal of his client. That must be the sole end and object, and for that he must abandon all other considerations. When that principle is universally recogniz :A no mischief can ensue, for the address will be taken for what it may be worth, and the character of the advocate will not be unduly thrown into the scale. We can, however, in some degree account for the extraordinary irritation that led to those unmerited comments. Our contemporary was at the moment smarting under the severe castigation so powerfully administered by the Learned Sergeant to those of the public press who, forgetting the position in which they were placed, endeavoured to prejudge every case, making the trial a meaningless form and empty pageant"—who, on the very morning appointed for the commencement of the investigation on which hung the life or death of the accused, published a leading article dictating the verdict that should be returned. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. On Sunday the PRESIDENT of the Republic re viewed the National Guards of St. Germains. The PRESIDENT was exceedingly well received, and greeted with enthusiastic shouts of "Vive le President !" "Vive Napoleon !" There were a few cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" and several of " Vive la Republique !" One man shouted " Vive le Roi !" on which he was laughed at, but he added, " A bas la Republique !" on which he was arrested. There were a few, and but a few, cries for the " R‘publique Democratique et Sociale." M. DE FALLOUT waited personally on the PRESI DENT on Saturday, and in due form resigned into his hands the portfolio of the Ministry of Public In struction. The Assemblee Nationale has an article on the recent Spanish intrigue, which is amusing from its utter absurdity. In it this excellent member of the parti-pretre declares that Father FULGENCIO, the bigoted priest who abused his power as confessor to the KING CONSORT by endeavouring to bring about the destruction of the Constitution, was the agent of Protestant England! ! ! FULGENCIO, it is known, was ostensibly the agent of the King of NAPLES. Perhaps the Assemblee Nationale will inform its readers whether or not King 80M13.1 was the medium of communication between Lord PALMERSTON and Father FULGENCIO. A letter has been addressed to all the journals by M. JULES BASTIDE, denying in the most formal man ner the statement made by one of the witnesses be fore the High Court of Versailles, that the affair of Risquons-tout had been planned in his cabinet at the time ha was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Abbe DE DEEUX-BIZEZE has been appointed Bishop of Moulins. Great preparations are making at Lille for the in auguration of the statue of General NEGUIEa, who was killed in June, 1848, 'during the insurrection. Detachments from the National Guard at Paris will attend the ceremony. The adjudication of the coal contract for the Medi terranean steam-packet service, which was to have taken place on the 29th, has been postponed. In the course of the discussion of the Budget of Marine, in the National Assembly, on Saturday, M. PANSY, the Finance Minister, proposed to repeal the exclusive privilege granted to French ships, in 1846, of importing tobacco into France; and also to repeal the similar privilege, granted in 1848, to French vessels, of importing the coal which may be neces sary for the Mediterranean steam-packets. It will be remembered that, in France, the Government is the only tobacco importer and manufacturer, and, in consequence: of the grant of this privilege the expenses were increased by 1,300,000 f. upon a revenue of 8,000,0001.; while with regard to coal the price had risen from 44f. a ton to 63f. a ton, as the result of this " protection ;" and the taxpayers of France had to pay annually, in con sequence, a sum of 400,000 f. additional for the packet service. M. PASSY, therefore, proposed to throw the carrying trade in tobacco and coal open, and there is every probability that he will succeed in so doing.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 24th have arrived. The Gaceta publishes a decree for the reduction of the disposable force of the army, in consequence of the profound peace which exists in Spain. The third battalion of each regiment, and a third part of the Engineers and Artillery, will proceed to the pro . - vinces, there to form the reserve, the officers alone retaining their pay, and those who may hereafter desire to pass to the same condition half-pay. The Cortes will assemble at the period previously indi cated, and there will be no speech from the Throne. The Marquis of MIRAFLORES will be President of the Senate. We are happy to be enabled to state positively that Dr. 011ivant will be the new Bishop of Llandaff. Lord Augustus C. Lennox Fitzroy, Captain in the Coldstream Guards, and second son of the Duke of Grafton, is to be Equerry to the Queen. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governors of Canada and the other North American colonies. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Lloyds of the 24th publishes various appoint. ments :—Count Gyulai is appointed to the command of the first division of the army ; Count Dahlen takes the portfolio of War ; Radetzky is appointed governor in Italy; Haynau, commander in. chief in Hungary; Lieutenant Field-Marshal Baron Hammerstein, go vernor of Galicia; Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count Wratislaw, governor of Lower Austria ; Gorzkowsky is appointed commandant of Olmutz ; Simunich, governor of Arad; Lieutenant Field-Marshal Puchner is appointed civil and military governor of Venice. Various other minor appointments are gazetted. The Austrian army is divided into four divisions, under the respective chief commands of Wratislaw (Austria and Tyrol), Radetzky (Italy), Haynau (Hungary), Hammerstein (Galicia). The Ban Jellachich is placed at the head of the Grauzer or border troops. These four great divisions are subdivided into four teen smaller divisions. Baron Hess remains chief of the staff. The Cologne Gazette says—" The demolished works of Ofen are now being restored ; the costs are estimated at 246,000 florins. The Imperial troops have already taken possession of their winter quarters. Eighty-four villages have been already supplied with garrisons of at least one battalion each. It appears from a report of the Minister of War, that the total number of arms taken from the Hungarians are 660,151 muskets, 2,897 pistols, 216,000 swords, 2,073 lances, and 500 cannons of various calibre. The following is the official letter which General BEM addressed to the SULTAN from the camp of Widdin " Sire,—l have always fought against the Emperor of Russia, your enemy and ours. My last acts which were done in Hungary were prompted by the same spirit. " Your Majesty is acquainted with the obstacles which there checked the success of our arms. I now place my services at your Majesty's disposal in combatting our common foe the Emperor of Russia. As a guarantee of my zeal and devotion, I declare my readiness to embrace Islamism.—l have the honour, &c. (Signed) " General BEM." The French Minister at Vienna has refused to grant any more passports to political refugees. The Wanderer, a Vienna paper, states that eight of the newly appointed county commissioners in Hun gary have declined accepting office ; others, who had accepted, have resigned. Among them are PAUL SOMISCH, late member for the county of Barany and leader of the Conservative party at the Pressburgh Diet of 1847; GEORGE MAJLATII, jun., late Lord- Lieutenant of the county of Barany; Kim; SENYEY ; NERMENYI, late Lord-Lieutenant of the county of I Tolna ; KOHENZY, Administrator of the county of Ochdenburg ; the Count PECHY EMANUEL: in short, all the heads of that party, which previous to March, 1848, sided with the Government. These gentlemen protest that, under present circumstances, it is im possible for them to benefit their country. Letters from Cracow of the 13th inst., in the Breslauer Zeitung, state that a large corps of Russian troops was expected to :arrive in that town on the 15th inst., on their way to the north. There is now but a small Russian garrison at Cracow, and that garrison, too, is to leave with the other troops. A strong Austrian corps, consisting of two regiments of foot, i 3 preparing to occupy Cracow after the Russians have left that town. TUESDAY EVENING, PRUSSIA. The Allgeineine Zeitung publishes an article from Frankfort, which states that the armistice between Prussia and Denmark contains the following three secret articles:-1. The carrying out the armistice by force of arms. 2. The delivery up of the Gefion to Denmark. 3. The accession of Holstein to the restrictive confederation of Prussia. The Constitutional Correspondent, which is consi dered as an official organ of the Prussian Govern ment, declares positively that these articles are alto gether spurious. M. DE RADOWITZ has presented to the Prussian Chambers the following papers relating to the German question : These papers consist of-1. A long elucidatory memoir, embracing the whole of the complicated ne gotiations relative to the German question, as con nected with the recen tly-ratified convention with Austria and with the Federal 'Union. 2. Copies of all documents relative to the establishment of a Con federate Commission (at Frankfort). 3. The various correspondence with the Governments that have not adhered to the Federal League (Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, &c.) 4. The divers proceedings and resolutions of the Couucil of Administration ; and 5. The project for a Federal Constitution and elec toral law, together with such amendments as are pro posed by Prussia. HESSE-CASSEL. The Assembly of the States of Hesse•Cassel was convoked on the 23d, after prorogations of three months. Mr. Lederer made a motion that the Go vernment be requested to use all its influence with the Government of the Grand Duchy of Baden to put a limit to the jurisdiction of the courts•martial. The motion was adopted unanimously and without discussion. SWITZERLAND. The Assemblee Nationale announces that the three Courts of Berlin, Vienna, and:St. Petersburgh, and the Germanic Confederation, have addressed to the French Government a joint note relative to the affair of Switzerland. This note exposes the state of the question since 1846, and concludes by demanding from the Federal Government the re- establish ment of the sovereignty of Prussia over the prin cipality of Neufchatel, the expulsion of the revolu tionary committees formed on its territory, and it is added, the restoration of the Federal Compact of 1815. The three Courts invite France, as party to the treaty of Vienna, to co-operate with them in order to save Switzerland, by her friendly advice, from the appli cation of coercive measures, either by a hermetical blockade or by arms. The terms of this note are most amicable towards France. TURKEY. Letter; from Coneantinoir of the 15th state that a considerable number of the; Polish refugees have embraced Islamism. The Porte has given ordt.rs that the most illustrious of the refugees shall be sent to Choumla with the Polish Legion. The Italian refugees have been sent to Gallipoli. The Christians will be separated from those who have embraced Islamism, but all will be treated with the same respect and attention. M. DE SARTIaES, the Envoy from France to Persia, who has been for the last two months at Constanti• nople, was to leave for Paris on the 16th. He is the whole of his legation. accom panied by Letters from Malta of the 22d announce the arrival there of the steamer Rosamond, from the squadron of Admiral Sir W. PARKER, which she left at Idva, in the direction of the Dardanelles.

The Queen Dowager waF, on the whole, more comfortable throughout Sunday, and her Majesty had a tolerable night. SUNDAY LABOUR AT THE POST-OFFICE.—We are requested to state, with reference to the article on this subject which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, that none of those officials who were expected to assist in the duty were absent; that all who attended at the new additional duty were volunteers ; and that it was not intended that any dispatch should take place by the morning mails, so that, in fact, no bags were " got off until the evening. The duty in question was performed by less than 25 officials, and was sus pended at 10 A M. in obedience to express instructions .to that effect.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 8,000 bales, including 3,000 on speculation. The market was firm.—ln Railway Shares a fair busi ness was done. There are no late ship arrivals this morning, but we have the usual Continental mails. The private accounts received by the Canada steamer yesterday afternoon are a month later, from the South Pacific, and to the Ist of September from California. Respecting the latter country, there was every indica tion of legitimate growth, and although it may be ad. mitted that the origin of the settlement was ill calculated to inspire the impression of order and good government, we find that already members had been elected to as semble in convention, and form a state constitution. The ordinary results of overstocking newly opened mar kets were experienced, however, at San Francisco, and much excitement is said to hare been occasioned in the United States among those who had made shipments of merchandise to California, by the redelft of letters from commission houses in San Francisco containing account of sales. It appears that the charges have, in several in stances, used up entirely the proceeds Of the sales. For the purpose of giving those intererested an idea of the expenses of shipment and olAirges on sales, we annex an account of sales of a lot of gtods shipped from this port. ACCOUNT OF SALES AT AUCTION IN SAN FRANCISCO. Dolls. C. Whole amount of sales, gross CLIAIWES. Dolls. C. Paid freight per ship from New York Lighterage, labour, receiving, storing, and delivering 922 00 a premium paid for specie for dust received (3,556 ds. 36c.) 240 05 Commissions advancing charges 5 per cent 177 80 Storage for goods two months 2,196 00 Commissions on sales (8,530ds 70c.) at 10 per cent 853 07 Commissions on sales (88 dolls.) at 5 per cent 4 90 7,278 10 Nett proceeds.... 1,340 52 This is a copy of a sale that took place on the 27th August, and is stated to be a fair sample of account sales rendered every day to shippers. The Valparaiso Neighbor of the 29th of August, says that the executive of Chile had issued a decree, grant ing to Messrs. Arcos and Co. permission to establish a bank at Santiago de Chile, with branches throughout the country, to be called the Bank of Chile of Arcos and Co. ; the leading features of which are—a capital of 2,000,000 dolls., half to be taken by Messrs. Arcos and Co., and half for the public in Chile—the duration of the charter twenty yeaft, renewable for twenty more— the sole management of the bank to be under Messrs. Arcos and Co.; the interest on deposits to be three per cent. per annum; interest on shares six per cent. per annum. The influx of gold from California into Chile had caused such a decline in its price, that a sale to the mint at Santiago yields more than one for export to Europe. And so long as exchanges do not fall below 43d. per dol lar, doubloons cannot be exported, because they are worth more here than elsewhere. The price of gold bullion in Valparaiso, on the 29th of August, was quoted at 21irs. the castellano, 20 carats, equal to 16.60 dollars per Spanish ounce. This is actually less than the fixed price at which the mint is by law authorised to purchase gold for coinage, v;z., 16.66 dollars for gold of 2 0 carats , wit h au increase for finer qualities in proportion. The Lords of the Treasury having been pleased to approve of the arrangements to be made in consequence of the repeal of the imperial duties of Customs heretofore levied at Newfoundland, the requisite instructions have been issued by the Commissioners of the Customs to the officers of the department in that colony for carrying out their Lordships' directions into effect. A Montreal journalist observes—" We are glad to hear that there is more business doing amongst our merchants this fall than has been the case for several years past. A considerable number of Upper Canada traders are down, and are purchasing largely for that market. At the same time there is an air of business in the streets and principal business thoroughfares, which contrasts most advantageously with what we have lately been accustomed to. We lbok upon this as an index that we have passed the crisis, and that, in spite of the annexationists and croakers, we are entering on a brighter era. A large quantity of railroad iron for the western railroads is also passing by this route, and next year we may expect to see the S a t. Lawrence busy with foreign shipping, and with emigrants selecting this route in preference to the Stares." The public sales in Milking-Win ate postponed on account of the opening of the Coal Exchange, but busi ness preaeds as usual at the Bank and Public Offices, or rather they are open as usual, with scarcely any business to do. _ _ _ The English Funds have been steady, but the attrac tion of the procession rather thins the attendance on the Stock Exchange.
