MONEY MARKET AND COMMaRCIAL TITTF,LLIGEI-102. CITY, Two o'CLocK. I hr' The Liverpool Cotton T.larket, yesterday, closed quietly, and prices of all kinds were without any material change. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales (1,000 of which were taken for export, and 500 on speculation), comprising 350 Pernam and Maranham, 60. to 61d. ; 70 Bahia, 6, 3 3 d to 6id. ; 200 Egyptian, 61d. to 71d.; 500 Surat, 4jd. to 51c1. ; and 80 Sea Islands, 110, to ls. per lb. The Railway Share Market ruled quiet, without pre seuting any particular variation. The Colonial Produce Markets this week have not been active, and several of the principal staples have been cheaper. Sugar has ruled dull, at a de cline of Gd. to ls. per cwt., but for coffee the in quiry has been good at full values. Tea has at tracted very few purchasers, and common Congou is quiet at Bid. per lb. Wee receded 3d. to Gd. per Cwt. on Thursday, owing to the favourable change in the weather. Rum has realised previous prices, and cocoa is firm. There is a good demand for common kinds of saltpetre, which are steady. Cochineal has maintained former currencies, and tallow has been inactive. There is a speculative inquiry for oils, especially olive and cocoa nut, and prices have recently advanced. Advices from the Wool Market at Breslau, to the 27th inst., state that the market had exhibited renewed animation during the week, and upwards of 1,600 quintals were sold at improved rates. Some parcels of Einsdewren, from Silesia, realised from 96 thalers to 100 ditto per quintal ; for lambs' ditto, 95 to 112 thalers ; for Sterblinge ditto, from 80 to 100 thalers ; for Einsdewren, Poland, and from Posen, 77 to 88 thalers ; for Sterblinge ditto, 70 thalers ; for Silesian wool, in grease, 70 to 80 thalers ; and for Hungarian, 50 thalers. The advices from Soissons in France are also favourable. Up to the 26th inst. the sales had progressed with rapidity, and realised upwards of 200,000 f. in a few days. The prices obtained were better than during the previous sales ; and nine-twentieths of the wool brought to market was in prime condition, while only a small portion could be considered bad. For ordinary wools in grease 2f. 70c. to 3f. per kilogramme was realised ; and for white washed wools from sf. to sf. 70c. Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co., report that dur ing the past week there has been some considerable Purchases of the various State securities for invest ment.

The report of the West-end and Croydon Rail way Company, read at the meeting to-day, stated that the line would ha opened in about six weeks. The accounts showed cash at bankers, 29,9171. 18s. From New York the letters mention that the Specie movement was exciting increased attention. On the 9th inst. the amount of the precious metals in the city banks was $13,270,303, and there had since arrived $1,470,000, increasing the stock to $14,740,603. The shipments, meanwhile, were $1,844,000. The demand for money was increasing, and the rates of interest tended up wards. Speculative securities were active, but at fluctuating quotations. No improvement has occurred in the English Stock Market, which remains rather flat, at pre vious quotations. The inquiry for money in the " House " has slightly increased, owing to the loan instalment paid yesterday, and the amount of capital required to-morrow for the final adjustment of the account in railway shares and foreign stocks. Con sols for moneyhave been 95 to 95,i, and 95 to 95k; for account they have receded 1 per cent., viz., to 951 Exchequer Bills are 11s. to 14s. prem., and the Bonds are 1001 The New Three per Cents. are 951 to 96, and the Reduced 951 I. Bank Stock is 219 to 2192. In Foreign Securities there are not many deal. ings, but prices rule heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 1031 I, and the 4 per Cents. 103 g. Spanish 3 per Cents. remain at 44:1, and Sardinian Bonds have been 914 2i. Russian 5 per Cents. are marked 112. Dutch 22 per Cents. 651, and the 4 per Cents. 98. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 7 1 ; Mexican, 221 ; Peruvian, 82 84; ditto 3 per Cents., 58 60; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 46 '7 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 111 13 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spa nish 3 per Cents., 441 5 ; ditto new Deferred, 254 1; ditto Passive, 61 2 - 7. Although no material decline has taken place in the prices of Railway Shares the market is rather depressed, especially for Caledonian, which have receded 2/. to 3/. The dividend, it is stated, is only ss. per share, and complaints are ma& at the tardiness with which the directors have made the 100 announcement. Brightens are rather better, but 10 in the other lines there is a decline of about ± to 20 per cent. Rigas are 1i h premium. 20 Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous are about 10 the same as before. 20 20 BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.—CLOSING PRICES. I 20 ( Front the O f ficial List. finqine2t. done.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. CJlntriissioner Fane.) IN RE WEBSTER. HALF-YEARLY MEETING. -(THIS DAY. The seventh balf.yearly meeting of the proprietors in this undertaking was held this day, at twe o'clock, at the London Tavern. This bankrupt was described as of Snow•hill, tavern keeper, and to-day came up to pass his last examination on accounts prepared by Messrs. Thomas and Copley. The balance-sheet shows—Dr. to creditcr4, 7931. 2s. lid. Assets—property, 201. ; do. in the hands of creditors, 101. The chair was filled by J. Garrard, Esq. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. The report stated that that part of the line between Staines and Ascot was opened for passenger traffic on the 4th of June, and the remaining portion from Ascot to Wokingham on the 9th July. The stations would be ready for gooda and coal traffic, early next month. The passenger traffic for a newly-opened line was satis factory ; and that, as the line came into use, and as the goods traffio became developed, considerable increase in receipts might bo expected. Temporary arrangements had been entered into Kith the London and South-Western Railway Company for working the line. No agreement had yet been made with the South- Eastern Railway Company as to running over their line from Wokingham to Reading ; but the directors had the satisfaction of stating that they run their trains to Read ing, and that they had every prospect of a friendly rela tionship with the South-Eastern Company. The capital account stated that the receipts by calls, &c., amounted to 332,242 f. 190. 21 _ llis Honour expressed his surprise that a man could carry on business as a tavern-keeper and become bank rupt with nothing for his creditors. It was stated that the lease had been sold, but the greater portion of the amount had been p lid away to creditors. Mr. Wyatt, for the assignees, did not oppose, and bankrupt passed. The motion was put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. The proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. SCOTTISH AUSTRALIAN INVEST -IVIENT SOCIETY. ANNUAL MEETING.-(THIS DAY.) The annual meeting of the shareholders of this society was held at the London Tavern. The chair was taken by IL Dickenson, Esq. The business of the meeting was confined to the making alterations in the rules of the company, the purport of which were that two meetings of the company instead of one should take place yearly, and that the directors' qualification should be increased to 5001. THE LATE POLTSH LEGION. GENERAL COUNT LADISLAS ZAMOTSI&S ORDER OF THE DAY ON TUE DISBANDMENT OF THE DIVISION OF QOS• SACKS OF THE SULTAN. Ilead-Quarters, Scutari, July 31, 1856. This day the Polish Division is disbanded. The Allied Powers establishel to bend the, till then, inflexi ble obstinacy of Russia; they are unable to keep it up now that Russia, seeing the impending danger, has has tened to conclude peace. We, who know Russia better, do not believe that the peace will prove durable, Therefore, in bidding you farewell, officers, non-com missioned officers, and soldiers, it is pleasing to me to remember how, on every occasion, and even when the disbandment of our Division was certain, you all assured me to a man, that whenever you may be called to fight for Poland y ou w ill each and all hasten with enthusiasm once more to sacrifice every thing for your beloved coantry. The English General Commanding-in-Chief admired, but yesterday, your martial bearing, ou your last appear ance in arms before him. Preserve all these martial virtues for a future, and, I trust, not a far-distant occa sion 1 Above all, preserve your love of order and labour ; your confidence in, and obedimce to, your superiors ; your cordial and brotherly sentiments for each other ! virtues which, even among strangers, will earn you re spect and friendship. My endeavours to procure for you, immediately after the disbandment of the division, various occupa tions and engagements—for everywhere, and at all times, an honest roan must labour—have, as yet, pro duced promises only, The uncertainty of these hopes rendered any further delay in your disbandment impos sible. But should any one wish to hear further of the success of my endeavours, and to make use of my ad vice and assistance, he may apply to Lieutenant Colo nel Wiernski, who, with a disinterestedness and self denial peculiarly his own, has offered to remain for some time as agent for the Polish Division in Constan- tinople. In bidding you farewell, my fellow-labourers in the sacred cause of our country, I cannot here pass over in silence the services rendered to the Division by Major-General Breanski, who has often taken my place in the chief command—by the commanders of the bri gades of cavalry and infantry, Lieutenant-Colonels Count Poninski and Dobrowolskt—and by all those who eminently displayed their zeal or knowledge in the ser vice, among whom some were overtaken whilst in our ranks by illness or death. Among the latter let us bear testimony to the patriotism of the late Major Piedzicki, who, although he had been in command of a battalion in 1831, did not hesitate, on the first formation of the 23 Regiment of Polish Cossacks, to ask me for the command of a squadron of horse rather than remain inactive. Honour be to such acts ; by such alone Poland will be raised to new life. Lieutenant-Colonel Slubicki, although he had hitherto served in the infantry, being of the 4th Regiment of the line, yet succeeded, by his knowledge of the military profession. and his truly Polish devotion, in organising our cavalry in the midst of the greatest difficulties. The first formation of in fantry was effected amidst similar obstacles, and with no less merit, by Major Wiernski. Still more uncertain were the prospects of our artillery ; but Captain Ordon has brought it to a state of perfect organisation and exemplary order. There are many more whom space will not allow me here to mention ; but I may give thanks to all in the name of our country. Our acknow ledgments are also due to the rev. the chaplains of the division, the medical officers, and Maj er Jacks wski, the chief paymaster. And now, one word more before I conclude. Major- General Breanski has informed me, in your name, that you have united to offer me a very dear memorial, and that I am to receive a sword presented to me by you. Nor is this all ; you also wish to present my wife with a ring to testify how highly you value her Polish and Christian heart. Receive the most cordial thanks both of myself and my wife. May God grant that I may once more serve my coon• try with that sword ! May my sons in free Poland have one of you for their leader, who may say to them, " My commander was your father I" (Signed) L. ZIMOYSKI, General Commanding the Division. lIER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FOR SCOTLAND. YORK, TILIIRSDAY EVENING. The royal train arrived hero, en route for, her Majesty's ilighland`residence, at 12.50 p.m. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Princess Royal and the Princess Louisa, occupied the Royal saloon in the centre of the train ; and on their alighting, the pub lic, who had been admitted to the station to the number of about 8,000 people, raised a loud and hearty cheer, and the band of the 7th Hussars struck up the National Anthem. Her Majesty, on alighting, was received by General Arbuthnot, Gen. Sir H. Smith, the Lord Mayor of York, H. S. Thompson, Esq., chairman of the North-E ',stern Railway, and others. Her Majesty and the Royal Con sort, followed by the Royal children, proceeded along the down platform to the Royal Station Hotel, amidst the loud plaudits of the spectators, and when about half way down the platform, her Majesty, espying Lady Healey among the spectators, stepped aside, and shook hands with her in the most gracious manner, Lady Healey kneeling to receive this mark of the royal favour and distinction. Her Majesty, who looked exceedingly well, wore a white silk bonnet and a violet•coloured silk mantle, trimmed with black lace. The railway station was profusely decorated with the flags of the allies, and a large collection of plants from the greenhouses of Lord Londesborougb, his Grace the Archbishop of York, Messrs. Rackhouse and Son, and the Yorkshire Philosophical Society. The down plat form was covered with rich tapestry carpeting, 1,000 yards in length, manufactured for the occasion. After her Majesty had entered the Royal Hotel, the band of the Hussars took up a position at the entrance, and while the royal party was at luncheon performed a selection of the most fashionable music. The viands and wines composing the luncheon were of the most recherche character. The time occupied by the luncheon did not exceed that which had been prescribed in the royal time table, and at eighteen minutes past one o'clock her Majesty and suite left the Station Hotel and took their seats in the carriage. As the Queen and Prince Albert walked along the platform with their chil dren renewed cheers greeted them, and before stepping into the carriage the Queen and Prince Albert shook bands with Generals Sir Harry Smith and Arbuthnot. The band of the Hussars played the National Anthem, and in a few moments the train slowly moved out of the station. H. S. Thompson, Esq., the chairman, and several other directors of the North-Eastern Company, accom panied her Majesty from York t o B erw i c k. Captain O'Brien, the secretary and general manager of the com pany, took charge of the train, an d M r. Fl etc h er , one of the engineers, superintended the driving of the engine from York. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY IN EDINBURGH. The royal party arrived at St. Margaret's station, Edinburgh, at 6.35 —five minutes befure the appointed time—and on alighting there drove in open carriages through the park to Holyrood. The way from the sta tion to the palace was lined by the sth Dragoon Guards, the 34th Regiment, and the Royal Artillery.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) THAMES. SUMMARY CONVICTION OF A SHOP LIFTER.—Mary .Richmond, aged 29, of No. 2, Stephen's acre, Poplar, and described as being of no occupation, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a shawl from the shop of Mr. James Davy, linen-draper, High-street, poplar. The prisoner was apprehended on another charge by Henry Elgell, a police-constable, No. 318 N, but that charge was not pressed. On searching her the officer found in her pocket the duplicate of a new shawl which she had pawned on Monday evening last, at the shop of French and Ogilvie, pawnbrokers, No. 212, High street, Poplar, only five doors from the place she had stolen it from. The shawl was identified by Miss Mary Ann Davy, daughter of the prosecutor, who said that on Monday morning the prisoner came into her father's shop and asked for some articles which she pur chased, but witness could not then recollect what those articles were. The prisoner stood near a pile of shawls while she was in the shop, but witness did not miss one after the prisoner had left. T;ie shawl pro duced had been stolen from her father's shop, and had not been sold. Mr. William French lent the prisoner 53. on the shawl, which he produced. He had known the prisoner some years, and also knew her father. The prisoner's husband was an' industrious, hard-working man. He never heard anything againbt the prisoner's honesty before. She was in the practice of pawning her own goods at his shop for some time. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said that distress made her commit the robbery. She had five children, and her husband only all)wed her 15s. per week to maintain herself and the whole family. Mr. Yardley raid it was absurd to plead distress. There were thousands of honest people with less means of support than the prisoner. He sentenced her to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. LOSS OF THE MEDITER!,'AIVEAN ELECTP►IC CABLE. Yesterday a notice, communicated by the Secreta'y of the Mediterranean Subinarire Electric Telegraph Company, was posted at Lloyd's, announcing the loss of the new electric cable which bad been taken out by the Dutchman, steam-ship, to be laid down between Sar dinia and the coast of Africa, in counJction with the submarine line now in service. The cable, which is stated to have been between 120 and 130 miles in length, was somewhat lighter in make than the former cable which was intended to have been laid down, and which, it may be remembered, was lost in almost a similar way in attempting to lay it down about this time last year. That cable has never been recovered, and more than ordinary difficulty being ex perienced on account of the depth in some parts of the ocean where it lay, coupled with its great weight—ave raging eight tons per mile—all idea of regaining it has been abandoned. The now cable Wai manufactured on a similar principle as the former one, but not so heavy. The steamer bad got safely out with it, and, we be lieve, had commenced paying it out from Cape Sparti vento, and the vessel had nearly reached Galate Is;ands when a tremendous storm burst forth. Every effort was made to hold on the cable, and in order to save the ship and lives of those on board they were compelled to drop it. The 'distance between Sprtivento and Tunis is about 109 miles. The cable was insured at Lloyd's for nearly 30,0001. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. We continue to receive very moderate supplies of Eng lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, and the show of samples in to-day's market was small. Fine new wheats were in moderate request at Monday's quotations ; but old parcels were a slow sale at barely late rates. The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 18,280 quarters. The amount of business doing in most kinds was rather limited, but no change took place in prices. Barley was scarce, and in request at full currencies. Malt sold to a fair extent on former terms. _ The show of oats was less extensive, and the oat trade ruled firm, at full prices. Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's currency. ARRIVALS THIS WHBR.

We had a very poor show of beasts in to-day's market; nevertheless the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at Mon day's prices. The supply of sheep was moderate. The best old Downs sold at full currencies; otherwise, the mut ton trade was dull, at a fall in value of 2d. per Sibs. Lambs, the supply of which was seasonably good, were steady. Tn prices no change took place. There was only a limited number of calves on offer, and the veal trade was inactive at late rates. Pigs wore dull, but not cheaper. Mulch cows sold slowly, at from 141. to 191. ss. each, in cluding their small calf. • Per Blbs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d.

Mr. Wakley, the coroner, accompanied by Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner, resumed yesterday at Hampton court the adjourned inquiry into the death of Lewis Solomons, a returned Australian gold-digger, whose I body was found in the Thames, near Hampton Court, on Monday the 28th of July. George Gray, the man with whom the deceased's wife went to live during Solomons' absence in Australia, was the first witness examined—l live at 2, Thomas-street, Commercial-road, East, and am a glue maker. Knew the deceased. Can't eay when I saw him last alive, but believe it was the day after he arrived in London. I saw I him at my house, as he came to see my wife. I was at work at the titan he first called, and toy wife had been out all the day, only coming home between one and two o'clock in the morning, without telling me where she had been. Wben he came next day the conversation was principally about his wife having a child to me, which I told him was very true. He said he would nei ther hang nor drown himself. He showed no weapon, nor did he threaten me in any way. I don't recollect the day. He seemed rational and composed enough when I saw him. I can positively swear that I have never seen him since. On the Saturday before the body was found I went with my wife to his sister's, at Charles street, Hatton-garden. I did not know that he had been missed, and had heard that he had gone off again to Australia. I will swear that I never said in the pre sence of any person—" Mrs. Solomons may consider herself a widow," or that he should 'Aver take her to Australia. That story has been concocted by Davis and hose around me here. Cceoner—Your own conduct is not very clear, and you must not cast imputations upon other people. Evidence resumed—l had heard that Davis had a pair of pistols, and swore he would be the death of Solomons. The witness proceeded to account for the way in which he had employed his time from the 24th of July (when deceased left home) until the following Monday night. His wife never told him deceased was going to Hampton Court or elsewhere. Would swear solemnly and delibe rately that he had not seen deceased after the day he had mentioned. Joseph Lane, 85, Brook-street, Lambeth, boiler-maker, who had known deceased for 24 years, was the next wit ness—He deposed that he last saw the deceased on the Saturday before he was missed, and wrote a letter to Ben digo for him, about some money. Deceased said he bad been drinking about a fortnight, but did not complain of his head, but of his heart, saying it was like a block of marble. He said his first thought on learning his wife's conduct was to make away with himself, but be intended to live and work for the children. He was not so rational in his manner as before he went to Australia. He said at times that he could not live away from his wife. Witness was afraid that he would commit suicide, and when he was with him witness kept his razors away from him. Mr. Samuels, Ratcliff-highway, deposed to being out with the deceased on the 21st of July, when the latter showed him a pistol, which he fired with some pea shot.. Witness bad seen some of the shot found in the body by Dr. Gerrod, at the exhumation. 'nose the deceased showed witness appeared to be rather larger, He showed witness some 30 or 40. Should think the pistol was the same as the one produced. He said he intended the pistol for Mr. Davis, if be bad met him when fist landing. He proposed going out again by the ship Orwell. He said he had a good deal of property out in Australia.. Chas. M. Lee, 17, said he was the son of a tailor, and worked at 39, Charles-street, Hatton-garden, at the patent screw work. He remembered Mr. Davis calling at the house (Mrs. Tyler's) about two mouths ago. He went down on his knees in one ot the rooms. He had two pistols with him, and said he would kill his brother or cousin whenever he saw him. (The witness here looked round the room, and pointed out Mr. Davis as the roan whom he saw at Mrs. Tyler's.) Solomons came a'terveards on another day, when Mrs. Tyler told him what Mr. Davis had said, and the deceased only laughed. There was Mrs. Tyler present, and the man who works there. Mrs. Quigley, who gave evidence en the former hear ing., was recalled, and contradicted the last witness. In consequence of a communication received at this point from the inspector of police, the coroner ordered the room to be cleared. Upon the re-admission of the public in half an hour, Gray was recalled, with his wife, when the c•roner said that the inspector of police had received information to the effect that the deceased had been seen alive after the day mentioned in the depo sitions. The information which had been received was in consequence of the publication of the former evidence in the newspapers, and he felt no doubt but that the evidence which had just been taken, small as it v.ai, would be the means of eliciting further information. The case was a very mysterious one, and required full investigation, and he would therefore further adjourn the inquiry. NEWGATE AND LEADENTIA.LL.

BOROUGH HOP. - - As picking has been commenced our market for all kinds of hops of last year's growth is heavy, and the quotations aro almost nominal. The lato rains appear to have much injured the colour of the hops, yet a large growth is ex pected. Duty about 285,003/.

COLONIAL. - - TEL—Very little business has been done in this article, and quotations are unaltered. A moderate quantity is advertised for public sale next week. SUGAR.—The market has ruled exceedingly dull, and prices generally have receded fid to is per cwt on late rates for the inferior kinds, but for the better qualities former prices were realised. In the Refine d market purchases have been made with great caution, and holders have ap peared willing to accept lower terms. There have been a few sales of crushed for exportation. COFFER.—This article has been in rather less demand, although the prices of most of the finer qualities continue firm. At the late public sales fu:l rates were obtained for both plantation and native Ceylon. RICE.—The market has been rather active for fine clean descriptions, at slightly improved rates, but for rough and inferior qualities there is little demand, and prices have been unaltered. Runt.—The demand has b een very limited, and prices have been without alteration. Good Demerara 2s 5d to 2s 6il; mid to good Leeward, 2s 3d to 2s 4d per gallon. SPICES.—The market g enerally has ruled dull, and at the late public sales previous prices were barely sustained. GINGER has been steady, and fine Jamaica was in de mand at fully previous rates. SALTPETRE has been firm, and fully former prices were realised, particularly for the low refractions. TALLOW—The market has been very flat, and prices have declined to P.Y.C. on the spot 53s 6d and last 3 months 50s 9d to 51s per cwt.

It is particularly worthy of notice at once in re gard to the continuation of the celobrated.autho- rised edition of Thiers' Napoleon, published in the English language, that the entire stock and copy. right of the work has passed from the executors of the late Henry Colburn into the hands of the Messrs. Willis and So theran. The earliest instalment issued by which last-mentioned publishing firm (136, Strand), in pursuance of the original, design of the periodical translation of the history, volume by volume, as it appears in Paris, across the counters of the Messrs. Paulin and company—is this twelfth volume, embracing within its compass (pp. 240, 8vo.) the triple themes (books xxxviii. to xl. in elusively) " Continental Blockade—Torres Vedras d'Onoro." Volume thirteen is, at the same time, announced as already the press"—a volume recounting the events byimplied the associated " headings" o f " The Camaril—Tarragona—and the Passage of the Niemen." Subsequent portions of , the narrative being promised to the English subscribers in duo succession at as early a time as possible after their original publication by the Parisian " Edi. teurs" of the great French annalist. Until the whole of the fifteen volumes —large oc tavo library edition—shall have appeared, that being the dimension to which the " History of the Consulate and the Empire under Napoleon,' by Monsieur Adolphe Thiers, is proposed by its author to extend. So that we are at length really, after all, within view of its actual completion. Already, in token of this, there are twelve of these fifteen remarkable volumes substantially in our possession. Another, the thirteenth, as we have said is at the present moment rapidly preparing for publication. Two others, the penultimate and the ultimate, alone remaining to come forth in duo succession. When the ambitious design of the greatest of all the historians who have as yet ap peared of the French Revolution, and of all the biographers who have as yet appeared of the incarnation of that Revolution, Napoleon,Consul and Emperor, will have been happily realised. Hap pily we may now venture to assert seeing that we are no longer judging of it ex pede Remitter r? Seeing that its grand proportions are already for the most part discernable in their amplest develop ment. Seeing that the colossus is already visible far beyond even the gigantic torso. Seeing that all that remains now to complete it, are in a. manner, so to speak, the head and the pedestal. The finest portions of the work will yield these, and the production may then be judged of in its en tirety. At present, holdin g iu one nand this inter mediate fragment of the whole, this twelfth velum _ of a work extending in all to fifteen, we find occasion only in its regard te specify very briefly the nature of the materials herein associated togethersystematical ly. Extending over the period embraced between the April of 1810 and the May of 1811, the volume but just now given to the public by the purchasers of the stock and copyright of the authorised library edition of M. Thiers' magnum, opus rendered into , our English vernacular—comprises within its limits ';he record of events extraordinary in their impor tance and no less extraordinary, be it added, in their very strange diversity. The misunderstand iugs between Napoleon and Pope Pius, between. Napoleon and King Louis, between Napoleon and. the Duke d'Otrauto—leading; the one to the obli teration of the temporal power of the papacy, the other to the absorption into the vast French Empire iof the whole state of Holland, and the third to the disgrace of the Minister of Police, and. tile final extinction of any hope of a pacific com promise with England ! The Pontiff a prisoner— King Louis discrowned—Fouch6 supplanted by Savary, Duke of Rovigo : such of course were conspicuous amen; the results of these remarkable contentions contentions contemporaneous with the carrying out of that vast commercial and poli tical blunder the Continental Blockade. An act, on Napoleon's part, as it proved, of actually suicidal vengeance. Immediately subsequent to the narrative of the development of the Blockade of the European Continent, come the annals of two very memorable phases of the terrible Peninsular struggle between the Eagle and the Leopard. Phases marked significantly enough by the designations of Vie two books devoted to their ,comniemorationby the pen of M. Thiel s—" Torres Vedras," and Fuentes d'Onoro." Here is ,the French histo rian's picturesque account of those famous lines of Torres Vedras—the grandest of an the military achievements of Arthur Wellesley " At nine or ten leagues in advance of Liebort, between Alhandra on the Tagus, and Torres-Vehrae towards the ocean, he had taken care to create a first line of entrench ments, which would cut off the promontory #t a dozen leagues at least from its extremity to tinusea. , This OA line was composed of the following works. On the bend of the Tagus, the heights of the Alhandra, on one side, falling perpendicularly to the river, and on the other rising even towards Sobral, formed ojer a space' of four or five leagues escarpments that were alMost inacc'essible, and washed in all their extent by the little river Arruda. The road which passes between the foot of these heights and the Tagus, and which leads to Li-bon bAthe bank cf the river, was cut off by lines of cannon. Ascending from this point as far as Sobral, the English had artificially escarped all the hills which were not naturally inacces sible. In the hollows formed by the bed of the ravines and presenting little accessible hills, they established such redmbts and abattis as entirely closed the passages. Fi nally, they had raised on the principal summits, forts armed with heavy artillery, crossing fire with each other, and commanding from afar all the avenues by which an enemy could approach. At Sobral itself, a platform which had little natural strength, was covered with a multitude of works of the greatest strength, and on an eminence called Monte-Agrac t, had been constructed a veritable citadel, which could only be taken by means of a regular siege. Beyond these extended a new chain of heights, which stretched as far as the sea, and were washed by the Zizambro. This little river passed Torres-Vedras in its windings. whence the immortal lines of Torres-Vedras have received their name. There, as on the aide of Alhan dra, the heights had been escarped, the gorges closed by abattis and redoubts, the summits crowned by forts, and the course of the Zizambro was, moreover, rendered almost impracticable by the construction in its bed of barricades which retained the water, and would preserve the marshes along its banks through every change of season.. " The well-stored arsenal of Lisbon had been emptied, to supply these various works with artillery, and all the oxen of the country employed in carrying the guns to their appointed positions. The garrisons were permanent, and those of some of the works amounted to a thousand men. Large and easy roads had been provided between the vari ous positions that reinforcements might be conducted' to any of them with extreme rapidity. A system of signals, borrowed from the navy, rendered easy the transmission to the centre of the line, of precise information of all that might be taking place at its extremities. At its very entrance, that is to say, vis-a-vis with Sobral, was a sort of battle field, which had been prepared that the English army might be able to advance in its entirety upon the weakest point, and add its defence to the thousandfold fire of the surrounding works. The fortifications were, of course, garrisoned by Portuguese, there being amongst them three thousand Portuguese artillerymen, who had had considerable training and were well skilled. The English army, with the better part of the Portuguese troops, was destined to occupy the principal encampments which had been skilfully disposed near the most probable points of attack." " Such," adds M. Thiers, "was the unexpected obstacle by which Massena found the progress of his army checked, and which, as soon as he had made the proper •arrange ments for the encampment of his army, he reconnoitred during several days with his own eyes. All the information that he could obtain was imedmonaly to the effect, that after this first line of entrenchments there were a second and a third, the three being armed with7oo pieces of cannon and defended by 70,000 regular troops at the least, without taking into account the militia and fugitive Peasants. It was not, therefore, a simple entrenched camp, to be tarried by a bold assault, but a series of natural obstacles, the difficulties of which had been extraordinarily increased by art ; and whilst the English, moreover, by means of the roads which they had constructed and the system of signals they had established, were enabled to throw the entire mass of their forces on any one point, the French met, on their side, with an accidental formation of the ground which would preclude them from any mancenvre of this kind." It must be remembered, moreover, in explanation of the enormous and complicated difficulties placed. in the way of the " spoilt child of victory"—Mas sena—that against the. 70,000 regular troops op posed to him, the French Marshal had but 45,000 men to bring into the field-45, 000 men where 90,000 or 100,000 would have been inadequate. So formidable, so wonderful were the defences raised in front of the Portuguese capital by the genius and daring of Lor d- Welling ton. No marvel that in " making note of Torre Vedras, even M. Thiers is lost in mingl e d emotions forty years o ei f io a u d g m h irat n io o n w astonishment.antdhatupwardsof fty It is amusing h a ve intervened between '6 then" and ~now o d f e N ca a de o s loo t n o is amusing across this mark the scale upon which merely the seizure of the gal) ° E f inp fo g of the kingdom of grew Pontifical anci Ea c te v s — , Holland, but by such minor additions to the realms of the modern Cesar as the Hans Towns, as a part and theni seizure of Hanover, as the Grand Dechy of Oldenburg Napoleon the Great was just then capping the t i s iiri ze a n x i t o h f ath the is conquests.
