.how to define the bounds where doubt csases and convic tion begins; in fact, there can be no case where it can be with strict truth said that there is no doubt. If you see • a man taking a dose of arsenic, and dying the next hour, it is yet possible that ho might have died by the visitation of God. I really think I have explained to you all the ease, and I can only say that with that explanation I must leave it to you. A juror—ls the medical evidence a sufficient guaran tee to us that she was suffocated? His LORDSHIP—If it does not satisfy you, I must de cline answering whether it satisfies me. No one of them saw the body of a person who had been burned to death, and the reasons they give for their opinions they derive from a general knowledge of their profession. They say that in cases of persons who die by burning, there are certain signs which are not to be found here. They say the appearances here are not such as would occur in the case of a body burned to death. You are to say whether that satisfies you. Unless you can deduce anything from the attempt to throttle, there is no other evidence of suffocation. Unless you are satisfied, as far as it is possible to be satisfied of anything which you have not seen with your own eyes, you ought to say she is not guilty, but if you are satisfied, then your duty is to say she is guilty. The jury then retired, and the Court adjourned to one o'clock. At ono o'clock P.M. the Court met again. Mr. Justice Erie sat with his Lordship. Crowds filled every part of the Court-house. The same juror who was ill last night had become ill again, and Mr. Clement was again sent to attend on him, The jury returned in a few minutes into court, and M . Clement was then sworn and examined. His LORDSUIP—You have seen this gentleman? Mr. Clement—l have. The medicine I gave him last night relieved him for the time, but he has had a second at• tack. It would be, in my opinion, dangerous to his life to have him kept longer in confinement. The jury were again asked whether they had agreed, and again answered they had not. His LORDSHIP again asked Mr. Clement whether fur ther confinement would be dangerous to the health of the juror? Mr. Clement said that was certainly his opinion. His LORDSHIP—Then, gentlemen, you are discharged. Of course you have no reasonable hope of agre,ing? Foreman—Not a shadow of a hope. His LORDSHIP --You have communicated as much to me by writing. The Court then adjeurned till nine o'clock te•morrew. Throughout all these proceedings the prisoner main tained her composure in a most singular manner. With the exception of a moment at the nine o'clock sitting this morning, when she was about to say something re specting some of the evidence, but chsisted at once and before aim ±t the round of her voice could be heard, she rema n<d as unmoved as any unconcerned spectator could be. It is said that sho will be put on her trial again to-morrow for the third time. T ab; i E6.AL TITLE ASSUitAN CF. COMPANY. (Provisionally lie4isterel, January 17, 15019.)

A novel project fur the amelioration of Ireland was introduced to the notice of the House of Commons, on Friday evening, by The OVAtmAN MAR(); which should awaken the anxious attention of all who feel an interest in the improvement of that suf fering land—a project calculated to startle almost into incredulity the uninitiated in the wonders of chemical science, but which comes not upon us with such miraculous surprise. We have frequently directed the public attention to the various advanta geous uses to which the peat, or bog-land, of Ire land could be converted. We noticed the project, proposed in 1847, by the Rev. GEORGE HENRY STOD.. DART, in a letter to Lord J. RUSSELL, " for cutting and drying turf, and converting it into charcoal," which could thus be prepared at one quarter the usual cost, and which would enable the British manufac turer of iron to use charcoal in the smelting and working thereof instead of coal, which contains a quantity of sulphur, from which has arisen the infe riority of British manufactured iron. By this admir. able plan much good could be effected. The poor would be profitably employed, our manufacturing in terests would be materially benefited, and a large area of fertile land would be brought into cultiva tion. Mr. JASPER ROGERS, an eminent civil engineer, had brought forward a definite plan on this subject, which had elicited the warmest approbation of the most distinguished scientific men in this country, and which had been adopted by the Irish Amelioration Society as the basis of their operations. We subse quently noticed the admirable letter of Major- General BRIGGS to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, en titled " How to Improve the Health of the Metro polis, and Feed the People of Ireland." In that letter satisfactory proofs were given, from the most authentic scientific sources, of the superior effects of peat charcoal as a deodorizer, and its use was strongly recommended for the purpose of neutralizing the foetid gases and noxious vapours which poison the atmo sphere and generate disease throughout the me tropolis and the large cities and tovtns of England. The relative efficiency of the va rious known " deodorants " have been subjected to the most stringent tests, and the superiority of peat charcoal has been already demonstrated to the perfect satisfaction of scientific men. We have, therefore, no doubt of the vast advantages that might be effected by fully carrying out the plan of Mr. ROGZIIS, and in the application of peat fuel and charcoal to manufacturing, agricultural, and sanitary purposes. acres of bog land, varying from .0u1r.,.0 There are in Ireland no less than mtiyllifoenest in depth, so po sN s i s t e h s l a n osubstratum, r e g g e u n i e s f i t a e l s for profitable eh ir-al3' cu ltivation. il, There is, t h e refore, p lent y o f seope for carrying out the several benevolent projects. Each has the same laudable cbject in view—the amelioration of the sister kingdom, the development of its industry, and the providing re munerative employment for our Irish brethren. We hail, then, with the most unqualified delight the last great discovery announced to the House of Commons by the talented and energetic Member for Ennis. It is not our custom to grasp at every high sound ing theory which promises a panacea for the afflictions of Ireland. But the present gigantic pro ject comes before us in a shape so unquestionable, and under such high scientific authority, that we are induced to believe that the true cure for the ills of Ireland has at length been discovered, and that, if this discovery be energetically worked out, it will go far to regenerate that prostrate land. We give the results of an analysis of one hundred tons of peat, which cost 8/, and about Si. more for the labour of converting it by chemical process with the following useful and valuable substances, viz. : s. d. Carbon of Ammonia, 2,602 lbs., value 32 10 2 Soda 2,118 lbs., value 8 16 6 Vinegar ••• ••• 600 lbs., value 7 10 0 Naptha 30 gals., value 7 10 0 Candles ... 600 lbs., value 17 10 0 Camphine Oil ... 600 lbs., value 5 0 0 Common Oil ... 800 lbs., value 3 6 8 Gas ... ... value 8 0 0 Ashes ... value 1 13 4 Total ... .„ 91 16 8 Thus we have, for an outlay of about 161., the greater portion whereof is expended in payment of labour, the enormous return of 911, 16s. Bd. worth of articles of general consumption, in every day use. Seeing such almost incredible results from the distil lation of common Irish peat, we cannot feel surprised at the anxiety of the talented and patriotic Member for Ennis to establish, by all the authority within his power, the soundness of a project calculated to be of such vital importance to his country. Ile produced the authority of Dr. WATERS, Of Professors LIEUIG and HODGES, all gentlemen of high scientific fame. The benevolent Lord ASHLEY bore testimony to the character of Mr. OwEN, the patentee of this great discovery, in the strongest possible terms. His Lordship said— " A more discreet, sober, generous, high-minded, and religious man it had never been his fortune to meet with. He had enjoyed his friendship for many years, and ages• tleman more incapable of making exaggerated state ments he had never known." Mr. OWEN'S experiments have been in operation for more than twelve months, and have been tried on thousands of tons of peat s‘ith the most successful results. He has invested large capital in the under taking, he is receiving ample remuneration ; and, in the emphatic language of Lord ASHLEY, "he is ready to stake his character and fortune on the success of the issue." His Lordship also said— "He wished to add, that after the peat was cleared away the soil beneath was found fruitful beyond all description, being actually saturated with ammonia, and const quently, riot only would the country be benefited by the conversion of peat into valuable materials, but the soil itself would afterwards be fc►und in a far more cul tivable condition. It might be said that these represen tations must be received with great allowance; but if half only were true, everybody must allow that some thing great had been discovered, the result of the expe riments being .that persons who had expended a large capital had received a large return. He thought the House would agree with him in thinking that one hun dred thousand acres of Irish peat would be worth more than the entire region of California." These, indeed, are happy tidings for our poor suffering fellow-subjects in Ireland. Their country now possesses within itself the means of its entire re generation. This is no delusive scheme of some crafty money jobber, but a great practical plan of national interest. The light of science, in this age of progress, has produced no invention of greater im portance than this is likely to prove to Ireland and to the empire. The capitalist will now have an oppor tunity, by a small investment, of realising an im mense return. The philanthropist, at a small expense, can exercise his benevolence in conferring blessings upon thousands now in abject misery for want of employment. By working out this plan on a large scale the resources of Ireland will be fully developed. She will be then what she ought to be—a source of wealth and strength to England. Her people will become peaceful, con tented, and happy—no longer a burden upon our charity, but a rival in our greatness. We trust, for we sincerely sympathise with those who lament the afflictions of Ireland, that the Honourable and Learnd Gentleman who introduced this important subject to the House of Commons will concentrate the energies of his active mind in carrying this great project into full and general operation, and thus earn for himsel he well-merited blessing of his grateful country. From some remarks made in the course of the de bate on Saturday last, it would seem that the Prime Minister, the leader of the Opposition, and the Speaker, three competent authorities, are not quite satisfied with the mode of conducting business, which has been pursued this session, which, after the "in quiries" and the " resolutions," which preceded it, should have been a paragon of celerity and a source of unbounded satisfaction. Alas! for the disappoint ments which wait on all things human. Every opening session gives rise to the same hopes, which at every prorogation are confessed to be vain and delusive. Here is a case in point. Last February , a code of well-considered resolutions pro mised greatly to facilitate the dispatch of the public business, and here, at the end of July, on one of the last days of the sitting of Parliament, we find " the SPEAKER agreed with Mr. BERNAL. So many Bills came down from the Lords at this late period of the session that but little opportunity was afforded the House to consider them." Moreover " Lord J. RUSSEL L confessed h that the business before owing in some degree tothe: s a m v T y all of late. the House had been ve r y Thus sa last tt would oe year Th i s was progress the louse House made in the commencement. with all their investigation s of h progress r ld an a t he ir ea of celebrated in Ctohrnei; "Night Tho u good resolutions of this, th e mons have made little purpose. mode of management. Like the procrastinator mentioned in the they " resolve and re-resolve," but to no What is done cannot be undone (unfortunately), and the time lost in March cannot be found in July . Recrimination within doors and fault-finding without are alike vain and vexatious now. The hours of Parliament are numbered, and whether or not they have been rightly exercised, senatorial responsibility will now be joyfully laid aside, and blue books, and division bells, and mis-reported speeches, and the thousand and one minor miseries of a Member's life, may be for a time forgotten. This is not the moment to dilate upon past short-comings. We must be content to let the matter drop for the present, and look for better things next session—next session, which is to witness the realisation of so many hopes deferred. Before that next session commences, it may be, that the liberal struggle which now engrosses Europe will be brought to a triumphal conclusion, and before next session closes, it must be, that that more tranquil struggle of liberal principles among ourselves will have achieved some satisfactory success. At home and abroad there is much _to engross the attention and :stimulate the hopes of patriots and philanthropists. Parliament closes under better auspices than on some recent occasions; nevertheless a vast majority of the popular and reformatory measures which the people look for at the hands of the Parliament are yet —even yet— among the things to he. We have shown good reason to hope and expect that next year, at least, our representatives will exhibit a little more energy in the dispatch cf our business before they go about their own. THE SUN, LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday From an article in the JoUrnal de; Debats we gather that the representations made by the reac tionary party, as to the suspension of trade, and the withdrawal of capital from commerce, have been gro!sly exaggerated for the purpose of endeavouring to damage the Republic with the uneducated, ig. norant, and priest ridden peasantry, who in the pro vinces of France form the bulk of the con- ofis n t a ha o r that "enormous eno s r p m ec en cf o i u m sis in g ::tl;e on r s e yl a s. c the t i i ms onary cause in every country mainly s w ti h t iucehn organizedct yhe. relies for support. Having served its purpose during the elections, end being capable now of being used as an argument against the imposition of additional taxation, the current lie of the day is thus unblush ingly withdrawn from circulation bv its original coiners. Thus doth the Journal des Debats read its recantation. It says : " The suspension of labour in France is not so general as has been stated, for in many great manufacturing dis tricts the men are pretty generally employed. This re mark more particularly applies to those who are em ployed in articles of export. Lyons is at present well supplied with orders. Notwithstanding this fact the prcduction of manufactured goods is not what it was in 1845 and 1846, or even what it was in that year of scarcity, 1847. At the tame time the public treasury is far from being in a prosperous condition. The taxes do not produce a sum equal to cur expenses, and the deficit, which was so much talked of two ye ars s nce, i s still like a yawning gulf before us." M. VirAßcouitT, the Ambassador to the Pope, arrived in Paris yesterday. The President of the BErunuc was received at the Orleans Railroad station, where he arrived at half past nine o'clock on Sunday morning, by the Prefect and authorities and by an immense multitude, who manifested the greatest enthusiasm. Ile started after half an hour's delay for Tours. The police have made a domiciliary visit to the residence of M. EUGENE SUE, having received infor mation that M. FELIX PYAT was concealed there, and also that M. SUE had a depot of arms and ammuni tion in his house. The search was made, but neither M. FELIX PYAT nor the depOt were found. The troops which had been ordered to march from Lyons towards the Sardinian frontier have been re called. It was rumoured yesterday, in the National As sembly, that there was some " hitch" in the negotia tions with the POPE, and that the return of his HOLINESS to Rome was likely to be delayed for an indefinite period. In the Legislative Assembly, yesterday, the debate on the motion of M. CRETON, to suspend until Jan. Ist, 1850, the operation of the law repealing the duty on potable liquors, was adjourned until Bth August, in consequence of an announcement, made by M. PASSY, that it was his intention to present with the budget a Bill re-establishing those duties in a different form. The accounts from Martinique and Guadaloupe represent the conduct of the emancipated negroes as that of demons rather than men • the unfortunate whites are in daily expectation o f a renewal of the atrocities of St. Domingo. The merchants of Havre have memorialized the PRESIDENT of the Republic to provide efficient protection for the white inhabitants of these colonies against the atrocities of the blacks, and they strongly condemn the Constituent As sembly for bestowing the electoral franchise on a set of uncivilized savages. CABRERA arrived in Penis on Sunday. BOURSE.--Ems, MONDAY, JULY 30. THREE O'CLOCK.—Business was almost null to-day. No political rumours whatever were afloat, and that cir cumstance, joined to the fact that many speculators were making preparations for the settling of the account, will explain the negative character of the day's proceedings. It may ba remarked that the coming settlement will be an unusually light one, as very little business has been done for some weeks past. Exchange on London (30 days), 25 35; ditto (90 days), 25 25.

The intelligence of the ratification of the Danish- Prussian armistice has just been received here, as well as the separate preliminaries of peace concluded be tween Denmark and Prussia. - The Swedish Government is said to have acceded to these preliminaries. Sweden has consented to the formal treaty relative to the occupation of North Schleswig ; the negotiations for peace are being car ried on at Berlin. It is likewise asserted that the duchies of Coburg-Gotha and Saxe-Meiningen have adhered for one year to the restricted federal state, under reserve of ratification by their respective Chambers. The city of Bremen has done the same. The coliclusion of the armistice continues to cause great dissatisfaction in Schleswig. The Provisional Government, far from considering the war as con cluded, has commanded a general levy of troops. This is warmly responded to, and more than 700 young men from Altona and the vicinity have already responded to the call.—Hamburgh Borsen halle. AUSTRIA AND HUN GARY. The Vienna papers of the 26th publish the fo, lowing dispatch from the head-quarters of the Russian Lieutenant-General GROTTENRELM, dated Bistritz, July 18 : "On the 16th tho hostile positions at Serethfalra were attacked by the right wing under General Pawlow; while the left, commanded by Lieutenant-General Grot tenhelm, drove the enemy from Wiz& ; at the same time the heights of Marina were won by the Austrian column of Lieutenant-Colonel Springinsfeld. The foe retreated in such haste to Tats, that we were unable to overtake him; and two guns, with a munition car which he had forgotten to take with him, were the trophies of the conqueror. The Hungarians, after retreating from Serethfalra, broke off in two columns, the one taking the direction of Tekendorf, while the other was pursued by General Pawlaw as far as Lechnitz. On the 17th the Russian corps turned back to Bistritz, without again coming in contact with the enemy. Our loss was in all 3 killed and 6 wounded. The insurgents had 40 or 50 killed, and 19 taken prisoners." It was rumcured in Vienna that the Russians had retaken Arad, and that JELLACHICH had beaten GUYON ; it .is needless to add that not the slightest credit was attached to either of these rumours. 1 The following official account of the doings of the Russians in Transylvania appears in the Weiner Zeitting:— " CRONSTADT, JULY 20.—0 n the Ist of the month ' it was ascertained that the insurgents, led by Gals, were mustering in the Chik district to the number of 6,000 men, in order to march down upon Cronstadt after the departure of the military, and plunder that town; and with that object in view they bad 200 empty carts in their train. The Russian force, con sisting of two battalions, four guns, and 400 Cossacks, quartered at Tarttau, went against the Kokoser bridge, which was held by the rebels, and there awaited succour from Cronstadt. This arrived in the night. At two in the morni ng General Adlersberg drove the enemy to thonez, a h ere th e y d e f en d e d t h e p os iti o n by opening a raking fire from twenty cannon. It would have been imprudent to attempt f o rcin g thi s p os iti on w ith only eight pieces of artillery; the General therefore retired ' T;UESDAY EVENING JULY 31, 1849 I leaving the posts uncontested. While this was going on the Russian chief coiumn was marching along the Her maustadt road against Fogaros. At Sarkany and Wledeny, where the troops of Engelhardt had arrived, news of the preceding occurrences had come from the camp ol Adlersbsrg, and a rumour got wind, since dis proved, that Hem had entered Haromsek. In conse quence of this, General Luders withdrew his vanguard to wledeny, and on the 4th led his main corps in double quick flank march against the Kolteser- bridge. On his appearing the enemy fell back to St. Uyorgy, where they tried in the morning to withstand the shock of the advanced guard, composed of four Lancer divisiOns, several hundred Cossacks, and half a cavalry battery. Attacked with vigour and resolution, they were seen beaten and dispersed on all sides, with small loss on the side of the Russians. 550 left dead on the field, and four cannon taken, were the brilliant re sults of this day. The 6th was employed in making re quisitions and adopting the needful administrative regu lations. On the ensuing day, head-quarters were trans ferred to Marienburg (after a brigade had been left be hind), there to await the arrival of General Clam's troop that was expected to cross the Tarzburger Pass, and not the Rothen Thurm, on their way from Rinevick, in Wallachia; the original plan of operations could then be carried out with all energy. This change in the Austrian tactics was rightly conceived, on account of the difficulties in the way of pacification of the Szekler land, re,ard being also had to the left wing and the basis of ti o n r n t se the former hying now c overe d, an d t h e d. There is every reason t o h o p e th a t t jta h h7 e eteur ni Pser a u n Pl p ccuvrt s about to commence o n th e 13 t h w ill achieve the conquest of Transylvania, and all the sooner that the Russian-Austrian army corps at Bistritz has repulsed the double attack of the insurgent General Bern." It is evident from the above that the Magyars still hold Herrnanstadt, and that the measures adopted by BEM for its defence have been hitherto successful. Idavaan has plundered from the Jews of Pesth clothing and military stores to the value of 2,000,000 florins. The enthusiasm of the Magyars increases daily. The ecclesiastics cause to be carried before them a colossal red sword, a red cross, and a large flag with with this inscription, "Death to the Russians and Austrians !" on it, in black letters. These proces sions greatly excite the people. The seat of the Magyar Government is at Szekszard and Baja, in a steam-boat, which ascends or descends the river as circumstances may require, and which is provided with cannon for its defence. KOSSUTH has said that on his fete day he will disembark in this boat at Pesth. He formerly made such a promise, and he kept his word. It is said that the Hungarians have concentrated considerable forces under the orders of their Generals VETTLu and GALL, in the neighbourhood of lialovza, about fifteen miles south of Pesth. According to the last advices from the theatre of war in the south, all are flying to Esseg or into Servia. All the male population, from sixteen to sixty, have risen in arms in favour of the Magyars. All sorts of arms are resorted to, even scythes and ploughshares, and carriages, horses, and corn and other provisions, are taken into the fortress of Peter wardein by their owners. The Magyars are masters of the whole of the Baenat. Mothieg was known of the fate of Temeswar since the Bth. S ZERLAP•iD. The Government of Switzerland will not allow the chiefs of the insurrection in Baden, who have taken refuge in the Republic, any longer to remain there. The police of the several cantons are directed, by an order from B'rne, to expel all the leaders of the movement who may be residing in their district. They are to be supplied with passports for any other country, but their immediate departure is insisted on. The order includes the following persons by name : BRENTANO, STR U V E , ZITZ, GOEGG, WERNER, and FICKLER, as the political leaders. The military com manders and chief: of the Free Corps are—MIEROS LAWSKI, SIGEL, DOLL, MERSY, BLENKER, WILLICU, and METTERNICH. Two German delegates arrived at Berne on the 25th, for the purpose of tendering explanations re specting the violation of the Swiss territory by two regiments of Hessian troops. MALTA. Intelligence has been received from Malta of the 22nd. The Governor hail refused to permit the re fugees from Rome to land, notwithstanding the peti tions and remonstrances of the consuls, and of the great bulk of the respectable inhabitants of Malta. Mr. More O'Farral, the Governer, is a Roman Ca tholic, and the priests have represented to him that these unfortunate persons are irreligious and vile— worthy only to be excommunicated—as they have fought against his Holiness the POPE, and trampled under foot the sacred wafer, and by their representations it appears that his Excellency shapes his conduct, rather than by those of the enlightened and respectable portions of the Maltese community. If these unfortunate persons were to return to Italy, or land in France or in Spain, they would be shot ; and they are, therefore, obliged to remain on board ship at Malta for the present, the consequence of which is, that, from the crowded state of the vessel, sickness has broken out, and several of them have died. We hope that to-morrow, before the proroga tion, some Member will question the Government on the subject of the conduct of the Governor of Malta. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a brisk market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were on speculation and 2,000 for ex port, and the market closed firmly and rather buoyant. As compared with last Friday's rates, prices of all American kinds were firmly maintained. The trans actions comprised 8,060 American at 4d. to 6: 1 2 -d., 250 Pernam and Maranharn at 5/d. to 5d., 500 Bahia at sid. to end, 500 Bahia sid. to 5-0 . 350 Egyptian at sd. to 61d., and 300 Surat at sd. to 4d. per lb.— Railway Snares were dull and prices were rather lower. The Linnet brings no ounts of June 10 from Rio de Janeiro, but the dates of May 20, from the River Plato, are not so late as those already to band. At Rio busi• aces was dull, though freights were rather higher. The imports were still so excessive as almost to paralyse the market, and we are not surprised to hear of another failure, tint of James Birckhcad. More piece goods had been received than in any month since last Sep tember. Discounts were 7 per cent, and the Exchange on London was 25/1. A favourable item is the in crease in the Customs and Consulado of 144 per cent, as compared with May, 1848. The Buenos Ayres accounts are still comparatively favourable, and the official organ of Rosas indulges strong hopes of an amicable settlement. A document from Rosas, dated late in May, reopens the ports of the La Plata to foreign ships. The exchange on London was 63. Freight to Great Britain was 30s. for wool in bales. Affairs at Monte Video progress much in:the old way. Admiral Lepredour had held conferences at the govern ment-house, and the officers of the French Legion attended. It is stated in yesterday's American advices that the business of the Welland Canal shows a gratifying in crease upon last year. During the month of June, 317 vessels went through, against 238 for the corresponding mouth of last year. In June of 1847, when commerce was the busiest ever known, the number reached 376. Of the vessels last month, 110 passed up and 115 down, for American ports, and 40 up and 52 down for Cana dian ports. The boundary line between the United States and Canada, run in accordance with the Ashbnr:on treaty, cost the labour of 300 men 18 months. For 300 miles a path was cut through the forest 30 feet wide, and cleared of all trees. At tho end of every mile is a cast-iron pillar, painted white, square four feet out of the ground, seven inches square at the bottom and four inches at the top, with raised letters on its sides, nemieg the Commissioners who run the line, and the date. A vessel named the Annexation has been launched at Goderich. The owner is a friend of the present Administration, and a signer of the confidence address to Lord Elgin, The Gm nwich Railway proprietors held their meet ing to-day, and the usual dividend aas declared, viz ,- 3s. 9d. per share on 43,077 shares. There was some conversation as to lowering the rate of interest on the band debt, by calling in and renewing portions thereof every six months, or converting the same into a pre ference steels, but the matter remains for the considera tion of the directors. There has been a drooping market again for the Public SEcurities, and a sale or two for money has been made, stated to be for account of the railway companies which have dividends to pay. Consols have been 9211- to 93 sor Transfer, and 927 to 93 for Account. The New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents, have been 921 to 927. Back Stock is 1981 to 1993-.

Advices have been received from Constantinople to :he 13th. An army of 80,000 men is ordered to assemble on the Hungarian frontier, between Temeswar and Semlin, to protect the Turkish territory, and to disarm all who may be driven across the frontier. Prince BARBO STIRBEY, who had been installed at Bucharest, on the 29th of June, as Hospodar of Wallachia, arrived at the Turkish c a pit a l on th e B t h of July, to receive his formal investiture. He put up at the residence of M. D'ARISTARCUI, Grand Logothete, and agent of Wallachia. As soon as his arrival was known, the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs sent to the Prince, to compliment him on his coming. The next day the Prince proceeded to pay a visit to these two func tionaries. Prince Gnix.A, the new Hospodar of Moldavia, had also arrived at Constantinople, t wo d a y s aft er Prince BARB° STIRnEY. His installation took place at Yassi, a few days after that which took place at Bucharest, just sufficient time being allowed between the two ceremonies to allow FUAD EFFENDI, the Commissioner of the Porte in the two principalities, to proceed from one city to the other. As in the other case, the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs sent at once to compliment Prince GIIIKA on his arrival, and were visited by him in e e d s i a w t e e l r y e t a e f t h e B be received r e ce ot i v Both the h w y n t e he fcti f u or n ni o im na ni ri IY 4LT PP A °i N nt o e n d the 15th. ITAL Y. The POPE has issued the following address to the nhabitants of the Roman territories : " Pius 11C. to his Beloved Subjects,—God bath raised his arm, and bath commanded the tempestuous ocean of anarchy and impiety to stop. He bath guided the Catholic armies to support the rights of humanity, which bad been trampled upon—of faith, which had been attacked—and of the Holy See and our Sovereignty. 0 Eternal Glory, which even in the midst of Thy wrath dost not forget Thy mercy! Beloved subjects, if amidst the whirlwind of these horrible events, our heart has been saturated with bitterness, on reflecting upon so many evils which the Church, religion, and you have suffered, it has lost none of that affection with which it has ever loved you, and loves you still. We hasten by our vows the day which will lead us again among you ; and when the day shall have come, we shall return with the fervent desire of bear ing consolation unto you, and with the deter mination to devote all our energy to your real advan tage, by applying difficult remedies to great evils, and i consoling those excellent su bjects who, whil e th ey awa i t in acc or d ance w i t h t h e i r wan t s , w i s h , as we also wish, to see the freedom and independence of the Pontifical Sovereign, so necessary to the tranquillity of the Catholic world, guaranteed. Meanwhile, in order to re,,organize public affairs, we shall shortly name a commission, which, invested with full powers, and se conded by a Ministry, will direct the Government of the State. We implore to-day, with increased fervour, the blessing of the Lord (which we have ever implored, even at a distanc e f rom you) ; we implore that it may be abundantly s h e d upon you ; it is a great consolation f or our soul to h o p e t h at all those who have made them selves unfit to gather its fruits by their errors, may ren der themselves worthy of it by a sincere and constant return to righteousness. " PIUs IX. " Given at Gaeta, July 17." The citizens of Rome still decline to have any dealings with the French, or to associate with them. GARIBALDI was at Arezzo on the 22d. The Tuscan Cabinet published the following on the 22d " At length the day so ardently desired by all good Tuscans approaches. His Imperial and Royal High ness the Grand Duke, with the whole of the royal family, are on their way, and by the aid of God, will arrive to-morrow at Viareggio. The Council of Minis ters hastens to acquaint the public with these good tidings, certain of the joyful effect they will produce on the hearts of the population. It is the father of the family, who, after five months of painful separation, again joins his children. It is the Prince, who for teenty-tiva years has ccnstantly studied the means of procuring the happiness of Tuscany; he comes to com plete the work he has begun, convinced that he will find again among his people the sentiments of affection which the great majority have always felt for him. "For the Council of Ministers, BALDASSERONI." By a decree of the 21st, the Austrian Governor of the Duchies of Parma and Piacenza had dissolved the Provisional Junta of Government, and declared ;he definitive organization of the State.

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. A messenger from the Commons brought up the London Corporation Bill, that House having agreed to the amendments made by their Lordships. INDIA. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY informed the House that the Lord Chancellor had received a letter from the Mal quis of Dalhousie, informing him that be had re ceived the vote of thanks awarded to him and the Indian army by the House of Lords ; that he had read that vote of thanks to the whole Indian army, who, together with himself, felt the high honour that had been conferred upon them by their Lordships, and received that disti ngu i s h e d mar k of their favour with pride and gratitude. HUNGARY. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from St. Marylebone, agreed to at a meeting last night, attended by no less than three thousand persons, relative to the war in Hungary. The Noble Lori also presented five petitions from beersellers in the metropolis, praying the House to take theircase into consideration, and grant them redress. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from cer tain manufacturers of the town of Leeds, complaining of abuses in the management of certain rails ays, and pray ing their Lordships to pass some measure to compel the railways to convey small parcels as heretofore, instead of being compelled to send each parcel separate. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair a few minutes af:cr Truly() o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Sir J. DUKE took the oaths and his seat for the city of London. The Right Hon. Gentleman was in troduced by Mr. Masterman and Mr. Duncan, and as he advanced up to the table to be sworn, ho was warmly cheered by both sides of the House. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. • The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were considered and agreed too: Louth Markets and Improvements. Norfolk Estuary (Amendment of Acts and Power of Contribution by the Eau Brink Commissioners of Drainage, and by the Corporation of King's Lynn). LONDON CORPORATION RILL. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, upon the motion for agree ing to the Lords' amendments to this Bill, objected to them on the ground that they were calculated to diminish the number of electors in the city of London. He should, therefore, move that the amendments of the Lords be rejected. Sir JAM ES DUKE did not agree with the observations of the Honourable Alderman, for he could assure the House that the Bill was highly satisfactory to the city of London, and would not occasion any inconvenience in its operation. He hoped, therefore, that the House would agree to the amendments of the Lords. The motion was then withdrawn, anti the amendments were agreed to. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK RAIL WAY, AND MARYPORT AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. On the motion that the Lords' amendments be agreed to, Mr. FOX MAULE moved that the amendments be considered that day three months. He thought they ought not to pass at that period of the Session a Bill to which the Railway Board had on public grounds strongly objected, and in which they were excluded by the standing orders of the House to introduce any clause for the protection of the public, or the parall e l liner, which were aff ec t e d b y i t He bad, , under the cir cumstances of the case, to move that the amendments be considered this day three months. Mr. HEADLAM opposed the motion on the ground that it sought to throw this Bill over the recess, because it contained a clause respecting a railway audit, about which the House had not come to any decision on the general principle. Sir JAMES GRAHAM supported the amendments on the ground that it was of the highest importance that the competing lines should be kept in independent hands. He would not then discuss the audit claims of the Bill; but, looking at the whole state of the case, the House, he thought, could not fail to be of opinion that the Bill would give a monopoly to the eastern line from Edin burgh to the injury of the interest of the western line, who deserved the consideration of the House. The in terest of the public would be served by the rejection of the Bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE called attention to the great inconvenience that resulted from the House taking into consideration the details of private Bills, which came properly within the province of Committees of the House. He for one should be at all times most unwilling to vote against the decisions of Committees up stairs. He should vote against the amendment of the Hon. Member for Perth, and at the proper time should be happy to state his reasons for supporting the Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM reminded the Right Hon. Gentleman that he had not told the House whether or not it had been the intention of Lord Granville to in troduce clauses on behalf of the Board of Trade, but he was prevented from doing so by the hasty passing of the Bill. Mr. LABOUCHERE said it certainly had been the intention of the Railway Commissioners to introduce some limitatiou clauses. Mr. CARDWELL said, great injustice would be done to the public if the Bill were passed in its present shape. It was objected to by Lord Dalhousie, the Railway Com missioner, and now by the Right Honourable Gentleman at the head of the Board of Trade, but a Committee of that House and of the 1 - .4rds had approved of it without hearing the parties who were affected by its provisions, and for that reason they were not called upon to pass the Bill without amending its provisions. If the House would consent to the introduction of the proposed clauses there would be an end of the opposition, and he hoped the technical dif fieulty would be waived to enable the Right Hon. Gen tleman to acf , omplish his object.—(Hear.) Mr. GREENE knew that the vote he was about to give would be exceedingly unpopular with his consti• tuents, but it would be a considerable encroachment upon the rules of the House if this proposal were adopted, and he must therefore object to it in the strongest manner. Besides the objections now urged against the Bill went to affect its principle, and ought to have been brought forward on the second reading. The promoters had been put to corsiderable expense in bringing the Bill to its present stage, and it would be a serious hardship upon them to throw it out now. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know whether these two clauses were rendered necessary by the alterations .the Lords had introduced into the Bill. Mr. LABOUCLIERE apprehended they were not. Mr. SPOONER cons id ere d t h at certain parties had been most unjustly dealt with by the hasty of the House, and be should, therefore, give his cordia assent to the amendment of his Right Hon. Friend. Mr. FORSTER opposed the amendmont. The House then divided, when there appeared, For the amendment Against it Majority ... The Bill was therefore thrown out. HUNGARY. ... 42 ... -19 Lord DUDLEY STUART presented a petition agreed . to at a large public meeting held on the 24th inst. in Marylebono, praying that the House would ad dress her Majesty to recognise the independence of the Hungarian nation. AUSTRALIAN CONVICTS. Mr. SCOTT presented a petition from Australia, complaining of the importation of convicts into that colony. HUNGARY. Mr. HUME presented a petition, agreed to at a large public meeting, held yesterday evening in Marylebone, at which upwards of 2,000 of the parishioners were present, praying that the HouAf would address her Majesty, calling upon her Majesty to recognise the independence of the Hungarian nation and the de facto Government of that country. The HoN. MEMBER also presented a similar peti tion, agreed to at a public meeting of the parishioners of St. Pancras. THE IRISH POOR LAW. Colonel DUNNE said he should early next session move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law re lating to the relief of the poor in 'relent STAMPS ON NEWSPAPERS. Mr. MO WATT gave notice that early in the next session of Parliament he should move for leave to bring in a Bill for the abolition of the stamp-tax on news papers, and of all taxes and obstructions to the diffusion of knowledge. REFORM IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. HUME gave notice that early next session he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the electoral franchise, so that every man, not incapacitated by lunacy or crime, who shall have at tained the age of twenty-one, and shall have been the resident occupier of a house for a period of twelve months previous to registration, shall be entitled to vote in the election for Members of ParliaMent; also to enact that, in future, elections of Members of Parlia ment shall be taken by ballot,-that Parliaments shall not last longer than three years, and that the electoral constituencies be more rqua:ly apportioned.—(aear.) • SMITHFIELD AIARKET.
