bow to define the bounds where doubt ceases and convic tion hrgins; in fact, there can be no case where it can be with strict truth said thst there is no doubt. If you see a man taking a dose of arsenic, and dying the next hour, it is yet possible that he might have died by the visitation of God. I really think I have explained to you all the case, 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? Hie 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, thera 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 svidence of suffieation. 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 one o'clock P.M. the Court met again. Mr. Justice Erle 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 Mr. Clement was then sworn and examined. - His LORDSHIP—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 agreeing? Foreman—Not a shadow of a hope. His LORDSHIP—You have communicated as much to me by writing. The Court then adjourned till nine o'clock tomorrow. 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 desisted at once and before almost the sound of her voice could be heard, she remained as unmoved as any unconcerned spectator could be. It is said that she will be put on her trial again to-morrow for the third time. T ILE lj 111 tj PT TLE ASS (JUAN CB COMPANY. (Provisionally Registered, January 17, 1849.)

A novel project for the amelioration of Ireland was introduced to the notice of the House of Commons, on Friday evening, by The O'GORMAN MAHON, 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 whieh 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 fcetid gases and noxious vapours which poison the atmo sphere and generate disease throughout the me tropolis and the large cities and towns 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. ROGERS, and in the application of peat fuel and charcoal to manufacturing, agricultural, and sanitary purposes. There are in Ireland no le ss than three millions of from four to forty fe et in acres of bog-land, varyi n g depth, with a substratum, generally for of f r eh manly soil, possessing profitable n r eg out is, the several plenty of i c s li n 0 1 t p i e v a t i f o o n r . carry There Each has the same laudable object 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 81, 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 ... Naptha ... Candles ... Camphine Oil Common Oil Gas ... Ashes ... 600 lbs., value 7 10 0 30 gals.,value 7 10 0 600 lbs., value 17 10 0 600 lbs., value 5 0 0 800 lbs., value 3 6 8 ~, value 8 0 0 ... 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. He produced the authority of Dr. WATERS, of Professors LIEBIG and Hopoms, 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 th A strongest /Inas; hl term a _ Ilia 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 agen• 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 with 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 consequently, not only would the country be benefited by the conversion of peat into valuable materials, but the soil itself would afterwards be found in a far more cul tivable condition. It might be said that these represen- ' tations must be received with great allowance; but if . . 1 half only were true, everybody must allow that some- 1 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- I generation. This is no delusive scheme of some 1 1 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 himself the 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 I 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. RUSSELL confessed that the business before the House had been very heavy of late. This was owing in in the commencement." eni. ,, T some e degree to theinsal h l u p s r i ol w ld re o s u sthe House made appear, H s with all their i nvest i gations of la t ou y se ear o a f nd c t o h m eii: good resolutions o f t hi s, the H tThoughts," i mons have made littl e progress igh mode of management. Like the ln their mode celebrated jr procrastinator mentioned in the N they " resolve and re-resolve," but t o no pu rp ose. 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 be. 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 of our business before they go about their own. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday From an article in the Journal des Debats we gather that the representations made by the reac tionary party, as to the suspension of trade, and the o se of endeavouring w r i o th ss d l r y aw ex a a l gg o e f ra c t a e p d it f a o l r t f h r e om pur c p ommerce, have been g • uneducated, ig- who the pro vinces of norant, and pr to damage the ie li st e ri pu d b d l e ic n France form the bulk of the con stituency. This is another specimen organized system of that " enormous lying ' on which the reactionary cause in every country mainly relies for support. Having served its purpose during the elections, and 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 by its original coiners. Thus doth the Journal des Debate 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 production 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 same time the public treasury is far from being in a prosperous condition. The taxes do not produce a sum equal to our expenses, and the deficit, which was so much talked of two years since, is still like a yawning gulf before us." M. D'HARCOURT, the Ambassador to the Pope, arrived in Paris yesterday. The President of the REPUBLIC 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. He started after half an hour's delay fbr 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 Porn, 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. PASS; 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 of 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 _Paris on Sunday. BOURSE.—PARIS, 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 be 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.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The intelligence of the ratification of the Danish- Prussian armistice has just been received here, as well as the separate prelimi nar i es o f 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 conclusion 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 HUNGARY. The Vienna papers of the 26th publish the fol lowing dispatch from the head-quarters of the Russian Lieutenant-General GROTTENHELM, dated Bistritz, July 18: "bn the 16th the 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 Billak; at tho same time the heights of Herina 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 rumoured in Vienna that the Russians had retaken Arad, and that JELLACHICII had beaten GUYON ; it .is 'needless to add that not the slightest credit was attached to either of these rumours. The following official account of the d o i ngs of I the Russians in Transylvania appears in the Weiner Zeitung : " CRONSTADT, JULY 20.—0 n the I s t o f th e mont h it was ascertained that the insurgents, led by Gals, were mustering in the Chip district to the number of 6,000 men, in order to march down upon Cronstadt after the departure cf the military, and plunder th at town; and with that object in view they had 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 t h e re awaited succour from Cronstadt. This arrived in the night. At two in the morning General Adlersberg drove the enemy to Usoncz, where they defended the position by opening a raking fire from twenty cannon. It would have been imprudent to attempt forcing this position with only eight pieces of artillery; the General therefore retired leaving the posts uncontested. While this was going on the Russian chief column was marching along the manstadt road against Fogaros. At Sarkany and Wledeny, where the troops of Engelhardt had arri:ed, news of the preceding occurrences had come from the camp of Adler berg, and a rumour got wind, since dis proved; that Bt,na had entered Llarornsek. Iu cerise quenee of this, General Luders withdrew his vanguard to Wledeny, and on the 4th led his main corps in double quick finale march against the Kokoser bridge. On his appearing the enemy fell back to St. Gyorgy, 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 soon 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 Ger.eral 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 laud, regard being also had to'the left wing and the basis of the operations, the former being now covered, and the latter supported. There is every reason to hope that the manoeuvres about to commence on the 13th will 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 Hermanstadt, and that the measures adopted by BEM for its defence have been hitherto successful. HATNAu 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,,.„"; r 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 VETTER and GALL, in the neighbourhood of Kalovza, 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 Bannat. Mothing was known of the fate of Temeswar since the Bth. S WITZERLAND. 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 Berne, 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, STRUVE, ZITZ, GOEGG, WERNER, and FICKLER, as the political leaders. The military com manders and chiefs of the Free Corps are—MiEnos- LAWSKI, SIGEL, DOLL, MERSY, BLENKER, WILLICH, and METTERNICH. Two German delegates arrived at Berne on the 25th, for the purpose of tendering explanations re specting the violations of the Swiss territory by two regiments of Hessian troops. MALTA. Intelligence has Leen received from Malta of the 22nd. The Governor had 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'F arra l, th e G overner, i s a R oman 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 da tc ; l - , , , ded state of the vessel, sickness has broken t.. 31 r and died. Ilre 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, QUART.qR TO THREE. There was a brisk market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday. The sales were estimated a, 10,000 bale., 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 8,000 American at 4d. to cad., 250 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to sid., 500 Bahia at sad. to 6VI, 500 Bahia Sid. to 51d., 350 Egyptian at 50. to aid., and 300 Surat at 3-id. to 4d. per lb.— Railway Shares were dull and prices were rather lower. The Linnet brings ac' °note of June 10 from Rio de Janeiro, but the dates of May 20, from the River Plate, are not so late as those already to hand. At Rio busi ness 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, that of James Birckhead. 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 25id. 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 Roses indulges strong hopes of an amicable settlement. A document from Roses, dated late in May, reopens the ports of the La Plata to foreign ships. The exchange on London was 68. 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 gown. 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 month 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. Tte boundary line between the United States and Canada, run in accordance with the Ashburton treaty, cost the labour of 300 men 18 months. For 300 mi!es a path was cut through the forest 30 feet wide, and cleared of all trees. At the end of every mile is a east-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, naming 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 Greenwich Railway proprietors held their meet ing to-day, and the usual dividend was declared, viz.,- 3s. 9d. per share on 43,077 shares. There was some conversation as to lowering the rate of interest on the bond debt, by calling in and renewing portions thereof every six months, or converting the same into a pre ference stock, 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 bas been made, stated to be for account of the railway companies which have dividends to pay. Consols have been 92 to 93 for Transfer, and 92i to 93 for Account. The New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents. have been 92i to 92j-. Bank Stock is 1981 to 1991. Exchequer-bills are 48s. to 51s. premium. In the foreign market very little is doing. Spanish Three-per Cents. are 34 to 4. Mexican, 26/ to 27k. Dutch Four-per-Cents. are 81 to /. French Three-per- Cents. realise 54. Railway Shares continue Hat, and with but few trans actions. In Mines and Banks there have been more bargains during the last two or three days.

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 STIRBET, who had been installed at Bucharest, on the 29th of June, as Hospodar of Wallachia, arrived at the Turkish capital on the itth of July, to receive his formal investiture. He put up at the residence of M. VARISTARCHI, 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 GBIKA, the new Hospodar of Moldavia, had also arrived at Constantinople, two days after Prince BARBO STUMM 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 GrEIRA on his arrival, and were visited by him in form immediately after. Both the newly-appointed functionaries were to be receive by the SULTAN on the 15th. ITALY.

Total STRAND THEATRE. An excellently written and admirably constructed drama, from the pen of Mark Lemon, entitled Hearts are Trumps, was produced here last evening. It was admirably acted, by Messrs. W. Farren, Compton, Leigh Murray, and Mrs. Stirling, and met with the most decided success.

I TARLBRO'-STREET—_(THIS DAY.) Henry Andrewes, who described himself as a painter, residing at No. 3, Hemmings-row, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having stolen a great coat from No. 3, Devonshire-row-mews, the property of Edward Howell, cab• proprietor. It appeared, from the evidence adduced, that last night the prosecutor was in bed asleep, when he was awoke by hearing the door open, and on his getting out of bed to see the cause, he observed the prisoner in the act of going out with the coat on his arm. He immediately collared him and gave him in charge to a constable, who was at that moment passing. The prisoner, who denied the intention of stealing the coat, was committed for trial. It was stated to the Court that the prisoner had been for some time in the pay or employ of the police as "scout," and that through his evidence alone a number of persons have been committed for trial from this court ; in fact, the prisoner, latterly, has been making a pretty good profit in attending at the sessions as witness in cases which, no doubt, were trumped up by himself, and rested solely on his testimony. DEATH OF MR. CoTTINGHAM, THE MAGISTRATE. —Mr. Cottingham, the Magistrate of the Southwark Police .court, expired this morning. The Learned Gentleman was unable to attend to his magisterial duties yesterday, in consequence of a sudden attack of cholera ; he continued to grow wor se , an d was carried off in less than thirty hours from the com mencement of the attack.

YARMOUTH, JULY 29.—The Theodore, Griffin, from Seaham for Hyde, got on the Barber Sand this morning, but after lying about four hours, was assisted off, not making any water, and has proceeded; the Janet Halley, from Memel to Galway, whilst riding in the Roads this afternoon, was run into by the Edward and Isabella, of Sunderland, sustained considerable damage, and was obliged to come into the harbour to repair. The Elizabeth brig, of Hartlepool, got aground on the Scroby Sand yesterday but came off; is making water, but intends proceeding. The Carpenter, from Lerwick to Aldborough, was assisted into harbour yesterday, with loss of fore-topmast and bows stove, having been run foul of while lying at anchor by the Reine Blance (French schooner). The Agnes, of Guernsey, while lying at anchor in the Roads, this morning, had the William of Scarborough in collision with her, and has received some damage.

POIITSMUUTII, JULY t. independent or Sa.tutch!y gives the tolloiving accouet of the Alert's action with the piratical slav:: felucca, which appears the only detailed account of the disastrous affair yet pub' Extract of a 'letter from an officer on board her MB' jesty's brig Alert, dated May 18, 1849: • "Ou the 30:h of Al;rii, at half-past three o'clock, r.isf,o a sail was reported from the masthead (we being then at anchor between Cassa and Golabah), standing in towards the land of Seabar. At half-past four we could make her out to he a felucca. We kept at anchor until dark, when we weighed, and stood along the land until mid night, when we haled off a little. At six o'clock, P.N. We could see the sumo vessel under the land, sweeping towards Cape Mount; the wind being very little, in fact just sufficient to give steerage. At seven we sent the two gigs and pinnace after her, but she crept along almost as fast as the boats. At 11, pinnace and first gig' were about half-a-mile astern; second gig about a mile' and a half. When they came close to the vessel the were fired on, and first gig being ahead attempted to board, and in doing so the offictir, Mr. Henry D. SaunderS, acting lieutenant, received a shot through the windpipe ; but, although he had received his death wourld, he waved his sword over his head to encourage his teen to board. The gig havin g l oot an o ffi cer and two men, and all the rest except two wounded, she went back to the pinnace for more men, but before they could catch ni ) with her again the wind sprang up and she walked away from us. The ship then picked up the boats ; but, by the time they were on board and hoisted up, the felucca was nearly out of sight. "' The following is a list of the killed and wounded:—• "‘ Killed—Mr. Henry D. Saunders, acting-lieutenant John James, A. B. ; and John Barnelough, " Wounded—F. Glanville, A 8., severely, three wounds in the back, recovering fast ; Henry Hill, A.S.; John Collins, A. 13. ; Samuel Turner Ord ; and W- May, A.B. " • Slightly wounded—J. Reardon, A. 8.; J. Lanfr downe, ILM.; aid Philip Kidd, R.M. " The felucca had two guns, and was firing everything. they could lay their hands on. In one of the boats, piece of chain of six links was found. She ran her guns through the stern, to get at the gig as she was re' treating."' _ The Victoria and Albert Royal yatch, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G. C. IL, went out of harbour to Cowes this afternoon. Rear-Admiral Dundas, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and Mr. J. Parker, M.P., Secretary to the Board, took passnge in her to Cowes.
