FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp Duty on Newspapers the public in all large cities and towns to which parcels are forwarded by the News-Agents, The Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half penny for the Latest Edition, containing Parliamentary Debates of the same even ing, together with the List of Army and Navy Promotions in the London Gazette, with Official Despatches from the Seat of War, the Latest Sporting, and all other Commercial News, List of Bankrupts, &c., &c., can now be had for Fourpence, being a saving of nearly one-third. Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions posted after six o'clock were charged a fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-oftace, which made the price to the Subscriber Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must still be made to those in remote places, unless the Postmaster-General have the magnanimity to forego such a paltry source of revenue. Sun-office, 112, Strand, London, 9th July, 1855. %') t l l ‘ ~:~1~~1 ti Al3l. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1855, The great financial experiment has once more proved successful. Nay, more, its success has been even more decisive, more MIRACULOUS— for that is the only phrase applicable to the tran saction—than either of the preceding operations. The French EMPEROR fearlessly appealed to the devoted love and confidence of his subjects, and he has not been disappointed. The people have nobly responded to the call—have with one accord tendered their resources to their chosen ruler— to him whom, by an overwhelming majority, they selected as their EMPEROR. On the first application ten millions sterling were required. According to the red-tapist system, a capitalist, or rather an association of capitalists, would have been required for the gigantic transaction, who would have arranged his bargain with the Financial Minister, and made a handsome fortune out of the job. NAPOLEON did not see the necessity for middle men. He thought that the profits might be dis tributed amongst the general body of the people rather than given to a few of the "Moneyocracy." He broke the-idol at the first blow. Not merely was the sum required at once tendered for ac ceptance, but 50 or GO per cent. more than was asked for was forth e ' om i ng —not from stags, or from the class who wrote for Mr. GLADSTONE'S bonds, but of men ready and willing to discharge their obligations, and to ray down 10 per cent. on the a mount of their subscriptions. When the Peelite Chancellor of the Exchequer could not obtain quite two millions ste r li ng the French EmrEitoß was freely o ffered more than eight times the amount ! Such was the extraordinary result of last year's war loan in France ! Such the confidence, en thusiasm, and resources of the people. Financiers were astounded. Men who had never ventured out of tha beaten track shook their heads and attempted to look wise, while uttering sinister forebodings as to the failure of any repetition of the experiment. But they were grievously mistaken. many months had elapsed a second trial was i narie, Not ten, but twenty millions sterling were Ere demanded. The people were again appealed to, and 'Again they justified the confidence of the EMPEROR. A larger abatement was necessarily made. Then on the previous occasion, and applicants could only receive a fraction of the sums for which they had made the necessary deposits. On this occa sion about seventy millions sterling were offered, of which only twenty millions could be accepted. It has again been tried, and for a much larger sum, and the result has been more astounding. Seven hundred and fifty millions of francs, or thirty millions sterling, were demanded ; and, notwithstanding the fact of so large a loan, which would naturally depress the funds of any country, quotations rose nearly 90 centimes, or about 18s. per 100/., on the Bourse. There were no Bears to speculate for a fall, or to retard the upward tendency ; or, if there were, they could not withstand the spirit of the people. The result of the operation has been worthy of the auspicious circumstances under which it was inaugurated. No less than THREE HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND persons have participated in the subscription have inscribed their names on the list of patriotic capitalists, and for no less than THREE MILLIARDS SIX HUNDRED MILLIONS OF FRANCS ! or, One hundred and forty-four millions of POUNDS STERLING ! And of these, the sub scribers for fifty francs of rentes and under have offered and paid the deposit on between two hundred and thirty and two hundred and thirty five millions of francs, or between nine millions two hundred and nine millions four hundred thousand pounds. The departments also furnished two hundred aid thirty subscribers for more than a milliard of capital (40,000,000/. sterling), while other nations required more than two hundred millions, or 8,000,0001. sterling, and the depo sits actually paid in amounted to three hundred and sixty millions of francs (14,400,0001.) with out reckoning the sums paid in anticipation of instalments ! ! ! It requires no extraordinary arguments to explain the magnitude of this transaction. The figures speak for themselves, supplying unan swerable evidence as to the devotion and pecu niary power of the people of France. They prove that the people are willing to bring forth the hoards concealed for a long term of years, or rather kept in store for some extraor dinary emergency, and that they think the time had arrived for the greatest financial operation ever known, to which no age nor clime could supply a parallel. Much may, of course, be attributed to the tact and judgment with which the matter was managed, but far more to the patriotic enthusiasm and substantial ability of the people of France. In this country so large a sum subtracted from the money in circulation would cause a monetary crisis, and necessarily defeat the attempt. But in France there is no self-adjusting regulator of the currency—no enact ment similar to that of 1844. The people can, therefore, exhibit their patriotic spirit without being interfered with by artificial restrictions, and the Financial Minister can deal with the people them selves without the intervention of a "go-between." Will Sir G. C. LEWIS profit by the lesson, or venture to pass the limits prescribed by red tapism ? We fear that he will not, and that Englishmen will still have to blush for the appa rent apathy of their countrymen ; but which really proceeds from the folly of the party at the head of the Financial Department, who has not the sense to take a leaf out of Mr. MAGNE'S book. We trust that the Government and the House of Lords will make the trade in money free at every point from limitations and charges, and withdraw the trimming compromises of principle which such a person as Mr. BOOTH, the timid Secretary of the Board, would suggest for the conciliation of large capitalists, the OVERSTONES and the others whom it does not conciliate. Mr. JOHN M`GREGOR rendered much service by displaying the commercial experience abroad, in answer to the forebodings of the capital ists at home, as to the improvident specula tions and disasters to arise from giving entire freedom to the trade in money. He might, how ever, have referred to those points in the French system which are no better than our own, and amongst them the one pointed out by Mr. JoaN MILL, in his Lecture on Political Economy ; that a company cannot be formed in France without the intervention of a body not unlike our Board of Trade (since the departure of Mr. DEACON HUME and Mr. M‘GnEooß himself), that is to say "without the express authorisation of the department of Go vernment called the Conseil d'Etat—a body of administrators generally entire strangers to in dustrial transactions, who have no interest in promoting enterprises, and are apt to think that the purpose of their institution is to restrain them ; whose consent cannot in any case be ob tained without an amount of time and labour, which is a very serious hindrance to the com mencement of an enterprise, while the extreme uncertainty of obtaining that consent at all is a great discouragement to capitalists to subscribe." An example of the dealing of the Board of Trade with such questions may be given in the case of the Metropolitan Association for the Im provement of the Dwellings of the Labouring Classes, the object of which was to set an example to prove that improved dwellings might be constructed at remunerative prices. But the interest of money on building investments being then 6i and 7 per cent., or more, the Board of Trade would grant no privilege of limited liability unless the profit were limited to ' 5 per cent. This limitation of profits at once limited the undertaking to those only who made the investment from motives of benevolence, that is to say, to a very few. This limitation of the capital augmented the pressure of the necessary establishment charges upon the comparatively small amount of subscriptions ob tained. Then, again, 1,0001. was charged in the shape of fees and expenses, or the cost of eight or ten productive model dwellings, for the ill-devised charter conferring the privilege of the limited liability ; the effect of all h w hes hie t h publc was i seriously to damage a measure of the highest importance. Again, very recently, when it was found that the ironmongers and gratemakers, who had large stocks of grates of the old fashion on hand, refused to make and sell Dr. ARNOTT'S ne w smoke consuming and fuel economising riuo i p 1 e, grate, or to adapt old grates to the new p except at prices as for a new and uncertain work, and such charges as were prohibitory, un less to the compaiitively few and wealthy. It appeared to a small number of persons that with a capital of not more than two thousand pounds, entrusted to a manager and a few workmen of ability, devoting themselves entirely to the one object of improving the old stoves and preparing the new ones, and that when a trial might be made o n whethe r th e pu bli c cou ld no t be got to adopt the in vention the adaptations of the old grates were undertaken, e as they might be in large numbers al between he materials and and ab two ur u p e o e u d n d u s t) t p e h r a v e grate cost ( for mucht above half that s ", i ' na), instead of four, five, and six pounds charged by th e i ronmongers . Several gentlemen who considered the subject were quite willing to risk their one or two hundred pounds each, simply experimentally, but would not risk all their fortunes to a partnership ; and an inquiry was made whether for this purpose the usual charges for a charter, 1,0001., would be re mitted. They received an official answer that nothing would be remitted, and the public were deprived of the benefit, not only of what the pro posed company might have done of itself, but of the general reduction of the ironmongers' charges, which would have been produced. To take another illustration : some gentlemen having looked into the evidence in respect to the distribution of sewage or town manures by steam power and pipes, and, yet after the method adopted by Mr. MECHI, saw sufficient evidence of the success and of important results, to induce them to try it by a small company for the application of the sewer• age of a small town. But it was found that a ,rial farm could be laid down on an adequate scale for almost two thousand pounds, but the half dozen persons must either subscribe the amount as a gift, which would be beyond their inclina tions, or they must beyond the loss of the entire sum risk in a partnership the loss of their whole fortunes ;—or if they made a joint-stock company affair of it, they must either get an Act THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, AUGUST 1, 1855: of Parliament or a Charter, which would cost al least a thousand pounds, and would take by an ticipation a large share of the profits obtainable by a moderate success. These are the examples of a crowd of undertakings, which (even in their first failures) are of the highest public advantage, but to which the present state of the law presents obstructions which in a great majority of in stances are insuperable. In such instances as those above cited, the most safe trials with a view to observation and commercial success, would, in the first instance, at least, be on such compara tively small scales as those stated ; but the state of the law creates the temptation on the part of the inventor to magnify the promises of certainty, in order to attain the only legal means of trial—those under limited liabilities— by works of a magnitude to diminish the propor tionate cost of the privilege for undertaking them. An outlay of five thousand pounds only in some instances would be provident, but the Board of Trade's proposed limitation of the privilege to enterprises for 25,0001. would have created the necessity of a fivefold, and, in the first in stance, improvident, expenditure—increasing the chances of misapplication and failure. Mr. EDWARD STRUTT, and other large capital ists, declares that money is always to be found for really provident undertakings ; but nothing in their view is provident which is not on a scale for great capitalists, to whom undertakings like those cited, though wise and beneficial, and eventually commercially productive, are beneath the dignity of their attention or their comprehension. Not one shilling has Mr. STRUTT, or such as he, given in aid of any one of them, nor would they be entertained in the " sweating-room" of the Messrs. JONES LLOYD. But Mr. WILLIAM BROWN should know that the strikingly successful progress of manufacturers in America, a progress reported upon by Mr. WHITWORTZI, and the other Com missioners of Inquiry at the Exposition of Ameri can Industry, as being in new and various direc tions, far in advance beyond Lancashire itsel (which is only superior to America in textile fabrics), are due to beginnings with small means, readily and cheaply combined on the principle of limited liability. The following statement is cited by Mr. JOHN MILL on this question. " According to Mr. CAREY, nowhere is associa tion so little trammelled by regulations as in New England ; the consequence of which is, that it is carried to a greater extent there, and particularly in Massachussetts and Rhode Island, than in any other part of the world. In these States the soil is covered with compagnies anonymes— chartered companies—for almost every conceiv able purpose. Every town is a corporation for the management of its roads, bridges, and schools, which are, therefore, under the direct control. of those who pay for them, and are conse quently well managed. Academies and churches, Lyceums, and Libraries, Savings Fund Societies and Trust Companies exist in numbers propor tionate to the wants of the people, and all are corporations. Every district has its local bank, of a size to suit its wants, the stock of which is owned by the small capitalists of the neighbour hood, and managed by themselves ; the conse quence of which is, that in no part of the world is the system of banking so perfect, so little liable to vibration in the amount of loans—the necessary effect of which is, that in none is the value of property so little affected by changes in the amount or value of the currency, resulting from the movements of their own banking institutions." "In the two States to which we have particularly referred, they are almost .200 in num ber. Massachussetts alone offers to our view 53 insurance offices, of various , forms, scattered through the state, and all incorporated. Factories are incorporated, and are owned in shares; and every one that has any part in the management of their concerns, from the purchase of the raw ma terial to the sale of the manufactured article, is a part owner, while every one employed in them has a prospect of becoming one by the use of pru dence, exertion, and economy. Charitable asso ciations exist in large numbers, and all are incor porated. Fishing vessels are owned in shares by those who navigate them, and the sailors of a whal ing ship depend in a great degree, if not altoge ther, upon the success of the voyage for their com pensation." Mr. CAREY adds A careful examination of the systems of the several states can scarcely, we think, fail to convince the reader of the advantage resulting from permitting men to determine among themselves the terms upon which they will associate, and allowing the associations that may be formed to contract with the public as to the terms upon which they will trade together, whether of the limited or unlimited liability of partners." " I concur in thinking," says Mr. JOHN MILL, " that to this conclusion science and legislation must ultimately come l" Mr. STRIITT, vindicating the authority of Mr. SAMUEL JONES LLOYD, now Lord OVERSTONE, in his opposition to the application of the principle of limited liability, asks what interest his Lord ship can have in the matter ? The reply is, an interest of the most powerful description —so powerful that the Noble Lord forgets what is due to the assembly he addresses, when he omits to refer to the circumstances naturally tending to bias him--that of interest-begotten prejudice. The profits of the banking firm to which he belonged were reputed t o b e upwards of fifty thousand all r a el n ic n i t i um. men ln , his what hat sight,ean be or inm more he offensive e v o e f than to see joint-stock banks edging out regular bankers by returning one part of such profits to the customers in the shape of inte rest on their deposits, and another part in the shape of dividends to the shareholders ? What more threatening (to the State) than to see Joint- Stock concerns increase on the principle of limited liability Their concern, and the concern of that man of lively and munificent benevolence, Mr. 3TRUTT, is, forsooth, that such rivals will fail. In ' the political inquiry of Mr. M'CuLLoar, such concerns only are worthy of privilege which make great fortunes, large houses, and peerages. But the system of Joint-Stock Companies which di ' vides masses of profit amongst the many only makes small men, such as Mr. GILBART, the manager of the London and West minster Bank, with an insignificant salary of one or two thousand a year, instead of mil lionnaires capable of giving large receptions. A joint-stock system of banking, with unlimited liability, which weakens responsibility for good management by diffusing it over a number of Directors with co-equal powers, may not in the view of the larger individual capitalist be so difficult to cope with, and may not be so very objectionable in principle ; but a system of limited liability, which takes the scattered. portions of responsibility from a number of Directors, and concentrates it all upon the Manager-gerant, which upon col lective means gives unity of manage ment and comparative unity of responsibility —that is one which gentlemen who have little faith in board management may join, and it is one which is indeed, in the view of large capi talists, dangerous to the State, and to be resisted ;o the last. Fortunately the description of interests involved in the question, and the motives to the opposition, are perceived by the House and the country, and will be withstood. Lord PALMERSTON'S spirited declaration of his intention to contend against them is perhaps justly deemed the most popular speech which he has made this session. MARLBOROUGH. (From the Second Edition of the Morning Post.) PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The Marlborough has floated off, and now lies, it is hoped, uninjured at her moorings in the harbour. The ship gave a couple of feet about eight o'clock last evening. At ten o'clock she exhibited fresh symptoms of motion, and shortly afterwards gave seven or eight feet. At 20 minutes after 12 o'clock this morning— about an hour before high water—she came off in good style, and was immediately taken in tow by attendant steam tugs, and brought up at her mooring. There was a bright moon last night, and the operations were carried on without difficulty. It is still believed that some injury to the piles upon which the ways are built was the cause of the accident. Information of the safety of the ship was imme diately telegraphed to her Majesty at Osborne. LATEST NEWS. MADRID, 30TH. The Gazette of to-day publishes the royal sanc tion to the bill which extends to 18 months the works for the canalisation of the Ebro.

The Moniteur publishes a further long list of mayors and deputy-mayors of towns and com munes appointed by the Imperial decree in execu tion of the law of the sth May last. The Morbiteur publishes the following circular, of July 27, addressed by the Minister of the Inte rior to the Prefects : " Monsieur le Prget—The Emperor, in his con stant uolichude for the brave army hich so nobly maintains is the Crimea the honour of the French name, has wished that the sums annually employed by he State in celebrating the solemnity of the 15th August should be this year devoted to assist the families of these who have fallen before the enemy. Uniting in this pious idea, the Municipal Coun cil of Paris has just decided that it will for this purpose take 100,000 fr. from the credit which it ordinarily de votes to public rejoicings. In France generous ideas are quickly understood and adopted, and many of our municipals councils will, I have no doubt, wish to pay their tribute of sympathy and admiration to our heroic soldiers. Tie Government will eagerly accept these patriotic testimonies, but the fete must not the less be celebrated in its accustomed manner. You will ar range with the Diocesan authorities for a Te Deunz to be sung in all the communes, at which the con stituted bodies will be present. You will also come to an understanding with the military autho rity and the principal civil authorities of your de partment, in order that the celebration of this na tional anniversary shall worthily respond to the senti ments of the country. You will particularly take care that, out of the sums which the municipal administra tions may dispoFe of, the poor shall not be forgotten. The fete will not be according to the heart of the Em peror, if benevolence and charity do not find a place in it.—Accept, ttc., " BILLAULT." The Nereide frigate left Toulon on July 29, with troops and stores for the Crimea. The Tonnante floating battery, and the Darien steam-frigate left Brest on the 30th for the Black Sea. A letter from Constantinople of July 19, in the Courrier de Marseille, says : " The disturbances caused by the Bashi-Bazouka are still going on in the neighbourhood of the Dar danelles. A body of them even attacked, though with out success, a number of unarmed French soldiers of the 50th regiment of the line, employed at the taking establishment, which the mutineers wanted to seize cm, in order to take possession of the bread. One of the soldiers received a pistol-ball in the arm, the flesh being furrowed from 'the wrist to the elbow. It is thought likely that a body of French troops will be sent to the town to protect the inhabitants. M. Thouvenel received on board the Solon yesterday M. Benedetti and all the Staff of the embassy, and then disembarking proceeded to the official residence, where everything had been prepared for his residence. This day, Reouf-Bey, First Secretary at the office of correspondence in the department of Fo reign Affairs, proceeded to Therapia to compliment the Ambassador in the name of the Turkish Government. All the Ministers also called on M. Thouvenel to congratu late him on his safe arrival. Two days back the troops of the Anglo-Turkish contingent were passed in review by General Vivian ; they went through their evolutions with considerable precision." A letter from Kamiesch, of July 16, in the Prose d'Orient, says : " The theatre of the 2d Zouaves has not followed the regiment to the Tcharnaya, General Canrobert having decided that it shall remain at Inkerman. By special favour the artistes of the 2d have received permission to recruit amongst the Ist to make up the losses sustained in the affair of the 18th of June. But as General Bosquet will not allow his men to be deprived of their theatre, there is a question of establishing one on the Tchernaya, and the artistes are to play alternately in one and the other. There is also a rumour of raising a subscription at Kamiesh for the erection of a theatre, for the Zouaves to play in." Letters from Kamiesh state that a part of the Russian guard had arrived at Sebastopol, as uni forms of ttiat corps were found on some of the per sons killed in the late conflicts.

OFF CRONSTADT, July 16, The powerful naval forces of the allies, which within the past few days have been augmented to 40 sail, com prising 16 line-of-battle ships, 2 steam-frigates, 4 small steamers, 4 mortar-vessels, and 14 gun-boats, after a strict reconnaissance for a period exceeding three weeks of the north shore of Cronstadt, weighed anchor at 7 a.m. of the 14th inst. Rumours of an early movement, which had been prevalent for several days, were con firmed in the afternoon of the 13th by a general signal being made to prepare for sailing ; and it was gene rally supposed that by far the greater portion of the fleet would proceed down the Gulf of Finland, a small squadron remaining off Cronstadt to watch the movements of the enemy. But two hours had barely elapsed after the arAlliors had been weighed on the morning of the 14.111 before the three Admirals, Dundas, Penaud, and Seymour, parted company in their resoec tive ships, ti de Duke of Wellington, the Tourville, and the Exm.'outh, with the Austerlitz and Merlin in attend ance, 1 ..1n route for Nargen. The Eurya,los had been sent in PAvance at 4 a.m., with the four mortar-vessels, for Ode same destination. The remainder of the allied squadrons, having been placed under the orders of Rear- Admiral Baynes, immediately after the departure of the three senior flag-officers anchored about four miles N.W. by W. of Tolboukin Lighthouse, where they are to remain until further orders. I have good reasons for stating that the separation of the three Admirals from the main bulk of the fleet is merely temporary, and has occurred in consequence of Rear-Admiral Penaud having conceived a plan for an attack on Revel, the practicability of which Rear-Ad mirals Dundas and Seymour have gone to ascertain by personal observation. If the result should be sufficiently satisfactory to justify the bombardment of that port it will be made by the entire fleet, with the exception of such - portion thereof as may be necessary to watch the proceedings of the Russians off this and other places in the Gulf of Finland. The defences of Cronstadt and Sweaborg have been so considerably augmented by the enemy in all respects during the last 12 months that they are unassailable by the present maritime forces of the Allies, and, however much it is to be regretted that during the lapse of time between this and the previous campaign the naval autho rities at home have not devised the means of furnishing a proper class of vessels of war to insure a succes-ful at tack on these strongholds, it must be acknowledged that it is now too late to attempt it. Hence these, the two most important possessions of Russia in the Baltic, are enabled, at least for the present campaign, to bid de fiance to all hostile operations of the Allied fleets. During the present week there has been but little of interest connected with the proceedings of the fleet. Their movements, &c., have been as follows : JULY 9, 9 P.m.—The Pelter weighed by signal, stood towards the land, and captured a small boat containing two Russians. In towing the boat towards the fleet it was swamped and went down. The prisoners were fisher men, who are detained for the present on board the Cressy. JULY 10.—The chartered steam-transport Isabella Napier arrived with live bullocks and vegetables for the fleet. The Russian fleet was observed making frequent telegraphic signals on board the men-of-war and at the shore batteries. JULY 11.—The entire fleet of gun-boats weighed, formed in two lines, and were exercised in various ma- nceuvres. JULY 12.—The Tourmente, French gun-boat, was em ployed cruising along the north coast of the Bay of St. Petersburg. The Imperieuse, 50, Captain R. Watson, rejoined the fleet, in 15 days from Spithead. She brought supernumeraries and parcels, but no letters or news papers. JULY 13.—General signal made to prepare for sea. A large conflagration was observed in the first watch at St. Petersburg. JULY 14.—At 41inithe morning the Euryalus and Vul ture got up steam, and left for Nargen, the former with four mortar-vessels in tow, the latter with two colliers. At 7 a.m. the entire fleet weighed anchor, the Duke of Wellington, Tourville, Exmouth, Austerlitz, and Mer lin proceeding to the westward, leaving the bulk of the fleet under the orders of Rear-Admiral Baynes. They came to at 10.30 a.m., about four miles to the north west of Tolboukin Lighthouse. Almost as soon as the ships bad tripped their an chors the Orion ran into the stern of the Duke of Wel lington, damaging the' Admiral's boat and carrying away her own flying jib-boom, and one whisker. The collision was caused by the Orion not answering her helm, which was put " hard a-starboard" for the purpose of passing the flagship. JULY 16.—The Dapper, tender to the Colossus, cap tured another fishing-boat with its crew, but they were not detained. JULY 16 TO 23, AT NOON. The opinion entertained and expressed, that nothing on a large scale will be attempted during the present year, is being daily confirmed. The Horatio, whose heavy armament, according to common report, was to have smashed to atoms the granite batteries of Cronstadt and Sweaborg, will not arrive in the Baltic this cam paign, in consequence of Nasmyth's guns not being likely to be ready for shipment for some time to come. The power ful naval forces can effect little else than keep the Rus sians under cover of their forts, owing to the shallow ness of the water, submarine piling, and other impedi ments which render it impossible for the shore to be approached nearer than a distance of 4,000 yards, or any point of Cronstadt where an attack may be deemed desirable. Doubtless the Commander-in-Chief is in vested with full powers, which he appears to exercise with much discretion, in not attacking stone batteries with the ships at present under his command, some of which might get aground, and the risk of their destruc tion and a great sacrifice of life be thereby incurred. Since the departure for Nargen of the three principal flagships the proceedings of the division of the fleet off Cronstadt have been of an ordinary nature. JULY 18.—The beat is very oppressive. Thermome ter in the shade, 79 deg. ; in the sun, 94 deg. ; baro meter, 29'680. JULY 19.--The Cossack, Captain Fanshawe, arrived at 10 a.m., with despatches for Rear-Admiral Baynes. Rear-Admirals Dundas, Penaud, and Seymour, with nine sail of the line, several steamers, mortar•vessels, and gun-boats, were at anchor off Nargen, superintend ing a series of experiments with the mortars, the greatest range of which had not exceeded 4,200 yards. The Cossack having taken on board letters and parcels for the Arrogant and Magicienne, employed in cruising off Viborg, sailed at 6 p.m. The Bulldog was despatched towards Cronstadt, under a flag of truce, for, the pur pose of landing two prisoners—fishermen. She was met by a Russian steamer of war, the captain of which stated that a few nights since an extensive fire had broken out at St. Petersburg, whereby several houses and much valuable property had been destroyed. A violent storm, which continued upwards of an hour, passed over Cronstadt and the bay of St. Petersburg. The rain fall in torrents. The flashes of lightning were of the most vivid description, followed by loud peals of thunder. After the storm had ceased the oppressive feeling of the atmosphere was abated and a cool refresh ing breeze set in. At 9 p.m. the Bulldog was ordered to keep in readiness for night service. JULY 20.—This morning a man was observed on the top of Tolboukin Lighthouse making some signal to the fleet. Two of the gun-boats, in charge of Captain G. R. I\lnndy, of the Nile, were immediately despatched to wards the lighthouse ; sent boats thereto, and brought the prisoner off to the Retribution. He is a deserter from the enemy, an officer of inferior rank in the Russian service. One of the steamers came out of the harbour to intercept the gun-boats, but, on the Bulldog going to her assistance, immediately put back. NARGEN, OFF REVEL, JULY 24. -One day here is so like another that I find some diffi culty in " spinning a yarn" worth sending you. We are all in high hopes, however, that this monotony is nearly at an end, and I fully expect to send you by next some gratifying news of more active work. On the 17th the Commander-in-Chief, accompanied by Admiral Penaud, Admiral Seymour, and Commodore the Hon. F. F. Pel ham, proceeded in the Merlin to reconnoitre Sweaborg and Helsingfors; they were also attended by two gun boats and a French steamer. When about 3,000 yards from the batteries several infernal machines were ex ploded by means of galvanic wires connecting them with the shore ; but they seem more useless than those which explode by being struck, for it is next to an im possibility for any one on shore to ascertain by taking angles or any other means, when a ship is so exactly over one of the machines that the explosion would da mage her ; this was proyed by the experience of the 16th, for none exploded nearer than 50 or 70 yards of the ships. To be effective the machine should touch the ship's bottom, for if it exploded with two feet dis tance between them the shock would be diffused over such a large surface as to be harmless. Two line-of-battle ships have been sunk in the Western Channel. The Amphion saw them go down. One heeled over as she sank, and remains on her side ; the other has her bulwarks just above the water. Only two ships and a few small vessels could be seen in the har bour but the crest of every hill and small island now bristles with cannon. No less than 17 new batteries and earthworks have been erected since we pointed out their weak places last year. Having satisfied themselves the Admirals returned to the fleet about 6 p.m. JULY 18.—The Ivanhoe hired transport left for Eng land. The fleet is so well stocked with provisions that, though she has been more than two months in the Bal tic, she has been unable to discharge her cargo until now. At 8.15 the Lightning arrived from Ledsuud. She brings some explanation of the Driver's boat's mishap I mentioned in my last. It seems she was cruising off a town called Raumo, a little to the south of Nystadt. The burgomaster of the town came on board, and offered to deliver up all the Government property, provided they would spare the town, which they readily assented to. He told them there were several Government ves sels, but their masts and sails were stowed away in a storehouse up a small creek, and that they must go up that and fetch them. The boats were accordingly sent away manned and armed, but the moment they got into the small creek mentioned a murderous fire was opened upon them from both sides of it, and they were obliged to retreat with the loss of five killed and eight wounded. This is another piece of treachery we will have a reckon ing for before long. JULY 19.—We continue to have the most beautiful weather—rather hot in the middle of the day, when the wind lulls, but the mornings and evenings are deliciously cool and fresh. JULY 20.—The Dragon arrived from cruising near Helsingfors where she left the Amphion. All the mor- I tar-vessels (15) and gun-boats have been painted of a greyish colour, which makes them scarcely distinguish able at a distance of 3,000 or 4,000 yards. The Hon. Mr. Hobart, senior lieutenant of the flag - ship, has been placed in command of all the mortoriveaselo. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. t From the Morning Advertiser of this clay.) The extraordinary speech lately delivered at the Tri nity House, by one who had always been held up by his friends to popular respect, on the ground that he never interfered with politics, has already done, is doing, and will do, incalculable mischief. The sole object of that unconstitutional speech— especially unconstitutional, considering the quarter whence it came—was to damage representative Government in the eyes of the people of this country, and to hold up to their admiration the superior advantages of which those despotisms which flourish in Germany are productive. A person in the exalted position of the speaker on that occasion is sure to have a number of followers, eager to curry favour in high places, by doing all they can to discredit representative Government in this coun try. They do this by their acts, where they dare not, for fear of popular indignation, do it in so many words. The conduct, relative to the Turkish loan, of the party who are thus so anxious to carry out the views ex pressed in the German speech to which we allude, ought to open the eyes of the people of England to the immi nent danger to which we are at this moment exposed, of having German Absolutism substituted for that consti tutional system under which this country has raised it self to the high position which it occupies among the States of Europe. The escape which we have had was a very narrow one. It is alarming to think that, by so small a majority as three, the French alliance was pre served, and the advent of a despotic system of Govern ment averted. We fear the country is not yet fully alive to the dan gers by which we are surrounded. Our perils• did not pass away by the Ministerial majority on the Turkish Loan. The Peelites and Peace Party by whom we were placed in that imminent danger, are still as active as ever, though working quietly and insidiously, in their efforts to overthrow our representative institutions, in order that a German despotism may be erected on their ruins. They know full well what will commend them most in an elevated quarter, and they make sure that, through means of an influence behind the Throne, they will, before many months have elapsed, have the reins of Government exclusively in their own hands. Hence they go on pandering, sometimes directly, at other times indirectly, to the wishes of Germanism. We feel it to be our bounden duty thus to warn the country of what, it the people be not on their guard, will most surely happen. We are just now on the high road to a Russo-Austrian system of Government in Great Britain. The Times, we are glad to perceive, is at last beginning to have some suspicions of this. Our con temporary is evidently aware of more than he chooses to communicate. His first leading article of yesterday was eminently suggestive. It was the most significant of anything we have seen in that journal for a long time past. Mr. Gladstone, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Sidney Her bert, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Bright are the principal par ties by whose means the purposes of the German Courts are in the course of being worked out in this country. And, strange to tell, even some who have no sympathies either with the Peelites or the Manchester school, are doing their best to overthrow representative institutions in this country, in order that Germanism may take their place. We are sorry—to give only one illustration of this— to see Mr. Urquhart eulogising the syst,rn of Govern ment which prevails in Austria as incomparably superior to that which obtains in England. Mr. Urquhart is fond of paradoxes ; but the position advanced by him at Bristol, on Wednesday last, that "Austria is a free and independent State as compared with England,"—is the most startling wd ever remember to have come even from him. It is so paradoxical that we hardly know how to grapple with it, any more than we would know how to deal with the proposition that two and two make five, were any one to make it. With regard to the means by which our rapid pro gress towards Germanism can be arrested, it is unhap pily too clear that we can put no faith in Parliament. There never was a more corrupt legislative assembly than the present House of Commons. It would stand inactively and silently by and see our most valued insti tutions sacrificed one after another. The Times never wrote anything more strictly in accordance with the truth than when it yesterday spoke of the House of Commons as "pusillanimous or treacherous," and as being in the habit of giving utterance to " mean and truckling sentiments." There is but one quarter to which we can direct a hopeful eye. Our dependence is solely on the people. To them alone we look, and to them do we look with confidence. If the Commons be corrupt, the heart of the country is happily sound. Two years have elapsed since the commencement of the war, and notwithstanding all the efforts which have been made by the Court, and by many of those who profess to represent the people in the Commons, the country is as anti-Russian as ever. Nay, they are more bent on carrying on the war with a vigour which shall insure a glorious result than at any previous period since its commencement. All that has been said to the contrary is a calumny. There is no sacrifice which the country will not make, whether in the shape of blood or treasure, rather than submit to an inglorious peace, to be followed by the ascendancy of Germanism in the councils of Great Britain. "The pecple," says the Times, with great truth and force, " stand now as ever, patient, forbearing, long-suffering, ready with their treasure, if we want treasure—ready with their blood, if we require blood—anxious to endure any thing except the ignominy of a disgraceful peace, and to submit to any sacrifice except that of national honour, the preservation of which is in them a feeling and passion." It is truly deplorable that such a people—so patient under privations, so heroic in dangers, so noble in their aspirations—should not be worthily represented in what is called, by courtesy, their own branch of the Lewis- lature. Never was a nation so glaringly or grossly misrepresented. There is no sympathy with them in the House of Commons. Let them, however, be thankful that though not represented where they ought to be, they are represented elsewhere. They are repre sented in the press. But for the press, we advisedly affirm, this country would before now have been tho roughly Germanised. The country does not know the full extent of its obligations to an honest and indepen dent press. We can answer for at least a portion of the press, that it will never become corrupt or servile, and we feel a thorough conviction that through its instru mentality, aided by the people, we shall before long have an upright and independent, a free and fearless House of Commons ; and thus have an undoubted guarantee for the perpetuation of our representative institutions, not withstanding the machinations of those in exalted places, who would hand us over, body and soul, to the tender mercies of a German despotism. THE FRENCH LOAN. The Moniteur publishes the following report made to the Emperor by the Minister of Finance, dated July 30, on the result of the late subscrip tion to the loan of 750 millions : " Sire,—l am about to lay before your Majesty the known results of the loan, the subscription to which was closed yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. The infor mation which we have . yet to receive will not modify them in any very material manner. An ulterior report will make known the definitive amount. Three hundred and ten thousand persons have taken part in the sub scription. The sum subscribed will be about three milliards, six hundred millions. The subscriptions of 56f, and under which have been declared as not liable to reduction stand in the above sum for from two hundred and thirty to two hundred and thirty-five mil lions. The subscriptions of 60f. and upwards, which are subject to a proportionate reduction, will be about three milliards three hundred and sixty millions. The departments will have furnished nearly two hundred and thirty thousand subscribers for an amount of more than a milliard of capital. The foreign subscriptions from different countries of Europe, such as England, Hol land, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, &c., exceed six hundred millions. Such results, Sire, wh:ch I am happy to make known to your Majesty, require no comment ; their grandeur, really unheard of, speaks sufficiently of itself. In order to obtain them, it has required neither sacrifices nor incitement. The relative advantages offered to the subscribers were, in fact, less considerable than in the two last loans ; but this has not prevented the 310,000 sub scribers from offering nearly five times the sums de manded. All the efforts of the Government have tended, not to excite, but to restrain the eagerness of the pub lic. Thanks to the restrictive measures authorised by your Majesty, the subscriptions for 50fr. and under will only cover a part of the loan, and nearly 550,000,000 fr. will remain to be divided amongst the larger subscribers. Every one will, therefore, have his share, as is just and useful to credit. That sliare will be a little less than a sixth of the sum subscribed. The deposits of the tenth as guarantee, will, of themselves, alone form a total of three hundred and sixty millions, exclusive of the sums paid, by anticipation, of the further instalments. One of the most remarkable characters of this extraordinary manifestation is that so enormous a displacement of capital could have been effected in so short a time, after two loans so recently contracted, in the midst of foreign complications, after the food crisis and the epidemic through which we have just passed, without causing the slightest perturbation in business, and without making any change in the quotations of securities. Contrary to what has been observed in all other loans, this one has been greeted by a rise in the price of rente, which from Of. 90c. the price on the day before the loan was issued has risen to the present price of 66f. 80e. In order to favour this movement it will be desirable to re store to circulation as soon as possible the part of the capital paid into the Treasury, and which will have to be reimbursed, in consequence of the re duction of the subscriptions. This operation will be effected with the utmost possible celerity. Sire, the financial operation which has just been accomplished, f and which is probably the most surprising that has ever been effected at any period, or in any country, will en lighten those who still retained doubts of the force of France, of the extent of her riches and of her credit, and of the popularity which is attached in Europe to the glorious enterprise which she is carrying on. This im mense co-operation of capital, sent from all countries, furnished by people of every amount of fortune, will cer tainly be in the eyes of the whole world the most strik ing and the most undeniable testimony of the confidence which the policy of the Emperor inspires both in France and abroad.—l am, Sire, &c., " P. MAGNE." ADULTERATION OF FOoD.—Yesterday the committee on this subject re-assembled, and Mr. Redwood's exa mination was continued. He contended that there was no ground whatever for the charges which had been made against chemists and druggists, inasmuch as drugs were more free from adulteration than, any other articles which were sold. ii.EALTE OP LONDON DURIXG TUE 1000 - - (From the Report of the Registrar-Gene rat. the 1 pre: The deaths registered in London, wh ich in 130 vious week had been 915, rose in that which endedf the Saturday to 1,036.
