That, hovrever, was ouly gaining a loss, as the prices obained by no means represented the ori4inal cost to the Exchequer. Ou the whole, while wa cannot greatly exult in the manifestations of national prosperity, so loudly insisted on by some of our contemporaries, we may thank our stars that matters are not far . worse, as they might easily have beet', considering the high price of money and the enormous and oppressive taxation to which all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects are still liable for the expenses of the War that has recently been brought to so "lame and impotent" a conclusion. Somebody—an English officer—called out on Saturday evening; upon the occasion of the ban quet given by the Army and Navy Club to Sir FENWICK WILLIAMS, " One Cheer more for the EMPEROR of RUSSIA !" A Cheer ? Good GOD ! What for ? For the bones of some 20,000 of our heroic fellow-countrymen, buried away not far from that dreadful Crimean Camp, or within pistol shot from the walls of those awful Scutari Hospitals ? A Cheer? Is it because of the death of so many thousands of our brave Allies that we are expected to " Cheer," that English officers actually do "Cheer" the "name, style, and title " of The EMPEROR of RUSS/ A ? Make an ignominious peace, if you will, with this .Ex- PEROR of Russ's—but in GOD'S name don't cheer him ! By the memory of the infamous massacre at Sinope, by that of the dastardly and cold-blooded assassinations at Hango-Udd— by all the horrible recollections of Muscovite insolence and brutality during the course of the late odious War—by the remembrance of NEssEL RODE'S diplomatic circulars (full of lies) and of MENSCHIKOFF'S diplomatic mission (replete with the evidences of savagery)—Not " One cheer more for the Emperor of RUSSIA !" Yet, in the presence of the Hero of Kars, whom they wore assembled to honour, the English officers partici pating in the banquet at the Army and Navy Club on Saturday evening, responded to the call 'for this Cheer—" most heartily !" Why don't we after this at once set about the organisation of a grand Banquet—'-say at the Rag and Famish—in honour of Mr. CRAMPTON—And have Somebody else call for, and elicit, " One Cheer more for President PIERCE ! " It would, we declare positively, be far more decent ! For President PIERCE has, as yet, indulged only in a bloodless insolence—just so much empty bully ragging ! Whereas the CZAR has his title in famously associated with a wholesale carnage, the mere thought of which is absolutely sickening. The blackguards of Virginia are just now pre senting gold cups, gold-headed canes, and other elegant testimonials to that ruffianly fellow BROOKS, who the other evening belaboured Mr. SUMNER, the great Abolitionist Ora tor in the American Senate—an outrage, bluff honest old Maga cilia it to-day (vide July No. of Blackwood)—" so unprovoked and atrocious that we believe the veriest coal heaver in this country would have scorned to have perpetrated it." Well, perhaps—after the inci dent of Saturday—perhaps we shall hear Some body calling for, and eliciting "One cheer more" for mar ! For Citizen BROOKS, who cudgelled the bare head of Citizen SUMNER in the sacred Hall of Congress of the great IJ-nited States ! Who knows ? Perhaps there really are men among us who would not blnsl: to respond " most heartily " to the call for " One cheer more for Mr. BROOKS ! " Certainly not quite an extravagant conjecture, this, remem bering the enthusiasm with which a similar ap peal in behalf of the E nperer of Russra. was welcomed under the roof of the Army and Navy Cub on Saturday evening. " One cheer more for the Emperor of RUSSIA !" Recollecting that the policy of PETER is hereditary, till,: actually means—One Cheer M)re for the un provoked assailant of Turkey, for the wilful dis turber of the tranquillity of Europe, for the pitiless destroyer, within a few months, of some 50,000 of the Allied Soldiers, to say nothing of very nearly 150,000 of his own miserable sub jes ! One Cheer More for him—officers of the British Army and Navy assemble 1 round the festive board to d) honour to the Hero of Kars ! One Cheer More for the Emperor of RIISSI A— UpStall ding—uncovered—glass in hand—" the sun in your eyes !" Certainly without tilt principles of The Sun in your hearts—without, at that moment, one throb of patriot ardour or civic self-reepect—witliout one thought for the dead and buried far away on the shores of the Black Sea and of the Bosphorus. *,(!- Wire, in the name of HEAVEN, we should like to know, was this pro-Muscovite Toast master ? While whole nights must be devoted to work which ends in nothing, to debates on May-nootb, or on motions to rectify blunders made , whil' senators were dancing .at the QUEEN'S ball, real business must be either taboOed or kicked out of the House. The American difficulties for instance —the Press here and at New York may discuss them, clubs may chat over them, every circle may converse over them—they are in fact everybody's business, for everybody feels that how they are managed may con cern his pocket and his comforts very materi ally ; yet members of Parliament, "in their place in Parliament," may not discuss them. " The greatest inconvenience," they are always assured, miglat arise from it "to the public service." If it were stated that particular Ministers would be inconvenienced and pet schemes thwarted, we could believe it ; but in all common sense, when. the negotiations are about public facts, carried on by public persons, and to terminate in public results, why all this secrecy ? Take the Cen tral American question, for the other is, we sup pose, finished, and the praise and blame may surely, therefore, be now awarded what is there in the CLAYTON•BULWER Treaty, the boun daries of Belize, the Mosquito protection, or the colonisation of Ruatan, on which intelligent meu might not properly give their opinions ? On most subjects which are discussed in the House some information we should not otherwise have had is brought to light. It would be singular, indeed, if between six or seven hundred gentlemen, the political elite of our towns and counties, " the collective wisdom of the nation," o could express no valuable opinion, or bring to the common stock of knowledge nothing which would otherwise have remained as the property of them selves or of their numerous connexions only. It is a premium on the indolence of Senators when they are not expected to hunt out all,the informa tion within theirreach on some important question, to verify it, and make it public. Is the House really such an uninstructed and mentally inactive body that when the political relations Of a hitherto little -noticed country threaten to , generate at the best, between us and our American cousins, the wh o l e s i x hun d re d cou ld u tt er no thi ng w hi c h might be of service to the Cabinet ? We are sin cerely glad, therefore, that Mr. MOORE has suc ceeded in forcing the Enlistment question into the House, as it was not permitted to be touched while the business was in progress ; and we hope THE WE A.TFIE R-Snr OFFICE, JULY 1.

The advent of the. dreaded Quarter-day once more brings us the accounts that point 'out more forcibly and truthfully than Ministerial speeches the real financial state of the nation—theso stern monitors, that strictly teat the accuracy of the cal 'editions of the presiding Financiers for the time being, and unsparingly explore the errors into which they may have fallen. In the olden time there used occasionally to he a little cooking of accounts. Money was diverted from its. legitimate destina tioq,:- ,and paynieuts that would not well bear the light were made under the name of "expenses of collection," and thus the public scrutiny was avoided. We believe, hoFever, • that such matters are no longer practicable, and that jobs similar to those of the purchase of the Doke of Cliturrcv.4 and the heirs of the Duke of SiIiOMBERG'S pensions must now be brought under general notice. Tits best possible security is thus afforded against their commission. Of course the Ministerial journals speak of the extraordinary prosperity evidenced by the en hanced receipts—the fact of the additional taxa tion, the extra duties on malt, sugar, tea, coffee, and spirits, as well as the more than doubled income tax, being deliberately ignored. Exulting pceans are chaunted at a net increase of 4,101,620'. on the year, and of 422,0521. on the , quarter. But nothing is said of the estimates, which promised a much larger return. The increase on the year is, as we have stated, 4,101,6201., the chief items from which it is obtained being Customs and Property Tax—the former of which produced no less than 23,130,444/., being an increase of 651,561/. on the year ending 30th June, 1856, chiefly obtained from the additional duties on " the corn of the tropics," which have in too many instances cut off the Sunday pie from the table of the working classes. In the Property Tax the addition is more than three millions and . a half (3,522,6631.), partly produced by the ad ditional 2d. in the 1/. imposed by Sir G. C. and partly by the previous doubling of the tat by , his predecessor having come into full operation., The increase on the quarter is by no means in proportion. That in the Customs being but 941,4141., and in the Property Tax only 116,9951., less than 4 per cent. on the annual increase. In the Excise there is a decrease on the year, of 80,7941.—a bad return for the additional malt and spirit duties—from which so much was ex pected. There was, however, a better proved in the quarter, which showed an improvement of .241,6261. In Stamps, however, thanks to the abolition of the newspaper stamp, there is a falling off both on the year and quarter, on the . fermer of 297,117/., on the latter of 13,8951., • for which there is no compensation from the Post office, the improvement whereon for the year is but 49,152/., while on the quarter there is a f . falling off of 9,0001. It i s thus evident that, as ...... we predicted, the railways, and not the Post offlee,-have received the profits arising from the carriage of newspapers to the.Provinees. In axes there is an improvement of 5,6511. on the year, hut a decrease of 3,0051. on the quarter. These remain nearly stationary, and the changes may he ascribed to the mode of collection. Crown Lands are, to use the language of trade circulars, " looking up," there being an increase of 11,9441. on the year and of 1,0001. on the quarter—a small part only of what might be obtained by better and more judi cious management. The sales of " Old Stores" Were active, there being an increase of 248,160/. on the year, but a decrease of 8,0841. on the 1 ,~ THE SUN, LONDON. TuicoasoAv EVE -- t: 74 - JULY 1, 1 56. that some uuc will insist on bringing forward the subject of Central Atnerici, too. The annual "slaughter of innocents" has also begun in good earnest. The A_rricultural Sta tistics Bill was amongst the first. A really useful measure, one which had got through the House of Obstruction, and which ought to have been got through the People's House. It would be worth any reasonable sum to have reliable data as to the amount of our agricultural produce even as a matter of statistics ; but as a means of pre venting needless alarms and panics, or specula. tion and fluctuation of price in the first necessary of life, its utility is unquestionable. Next came an outsider, Sir WILLIAM CLAY, who certainly was unfairly used. He had brought in his bill for the abolition of Church Rates, and obtained a considerable majority by the aid of the Government. Not only that, but the aid was given because the Government offered it on condi tion of the promoters of the bill accepting certain amendments in conformity with the bill introduced by the Archbishop of Canterbury into the House" of Lords last year ; the amendments were accepted, the bill thus in all fairness and honour became a Gov.ernment one ; yet the Government steadily refused to give Sir WILLIAM an opportunity to bring it forward again in sufficient time to give any hope of its reaching the Lords this year. The barefaced excuse was that it could not be called a Government bill till the Government amendments had been formally adopted in com mittee, while the only reason why their own ameadments were not thus adopted was that the Government itself prevented it. Surely a measure to settle this long controversy, and to let all the parishes in the kingdom know their true position in regard to it, was worth some little effort on the part of the Government. And now the London Corporation. Bill has fol lowed the rest. It may be questioned whether Ministers ever intended to do more than give the worthy body a year's notice, or to try how their scheme would take. They see now that the Lon don Corporation with all its virtues is like other old bodies, and considers the most moderate reform a ruinous attack on its privileges. The grand defect of the Bill has undoubtedly been that it is based on a fiction. It provides for the amend ment of the Corporation of the City of London— but instead of regarding all London as London, it limits its provisions to the comparatively insig nificant portion which the intelligence and wealth of the metropolis have quite deserted. The old City is now much inferior in point of population to many of the large boroughs of the kingdom, and in deed to the large adjacent parishes. It is a City of warehouses, offices, and shops, not a city for the re sidence even of its Corporation magnates or of the majority of its Common Council Inert ; yet the bill treats this business office of London, as London itself, leaves all its vast funds applicable to this little London only, and igaoras the existence of the largest city in Europe. It sees the whole affair with Corporation spectacles. The reforms proposed were very well in their way ; but, mo derate as they were, the old monopolists of power and privilege were not disposed to part with them too easily ; they saw that the public, for quite an opposite reason—the inadequacy of the bill—took little interest in it, hence they gained courage, instinctively sought aid from the Tories, threatened Lord PALMERSTON' with a troublesome job, and got another year of it to take the chance of an American War or anything else which may fill the hands of Ministers and the minds of the public. The dinners, the Lord M tyor's Show, Gog and Magog are safe to little London fur another year at least. So—the National Gallery Bill has been pru dently withdrawn, after all, this session, by her MAJESTY'S Government ! The hint given by the .najority on Lord Er.cuo's motion, on the evening )f Friday, the 27th ult., was rather too plain and straightforward altogether for there to be any mistake at all about it. Well, yes—rather ! And so Lord PALMEILSTON himself seems to have Thought, and, indeed for that matter, so did the Noble Viscount virtually acknowledge last night, in his double capacity as Leader of the House of Commo , s, and head of the present Adreinistra ion. The fact alluded to—as given in our Third Edition of yesterday—being simply this : that in reply to the Hon. Gentleman the Memberfor North Warwickshire, the Prime Minister announced that " for the present session " it was not in tended to proceed farther with this bill. It was, therefore, his intention, he observed, simply to move (pro forma, of course,) that the order be now read and discharged. And the order, adds the report, was accordingly read and discharged. And so, for the time being at least, the matter terminates, and terminates, moreover be it said, satisfactorily ! But, obserre—all that Lord PALMERSTON says upon the matter is merely to the effect that it is not intended to proceed farther with this bill—" for the present session." Suf ficiently significant, that, surely ! Eaough to put us all upon the alert upon the iultj-ct, if we did not happen to be so al ready. " For the present session"—not for the next, but only for the present ! Verbam sap. ! We, for one, shall not relax our vigilance. The notion is altogether too ridi culous to be very easily, forgotten. 11-R.H.'s -elietne of a National Gallery in a mar ket-garden ! And so exulting, as well we may, in our triumph, our signal and decisive triumph (" for the present session") over CONSORT and Cabinet, over Government and Opposition, over the whole of the formidable phalanx of the new Germanic Confederation in England—we shall sedulously keep the postponed, though still proposed, absurdity not only in our own, but also, in a particular manner, in the public remem brance I The Oath of Abjuration Bill, it will be seen on reference to our Parliamentary columns, was last night, withdrawn. Gathering from the in dignant proi;est of Lord LYNDHURST and other unmistakeable expressions of opinion in influen tial quarters the fate that awaited the measure in the Commons, Lord DERBY gracefully con sented to forego the further indulgence of his hobby, and the reader is in possession of the re sult. We arLe glad of it, for it presented the Earl in au att- 4 7 tude which by no means became him, and was t t tally unworthy of an enlightened age. The sooner, indeed, the question of admit ting Jews into P arliament is settled the better for all parties and the credit of the country. It would be difficult to conceive anything more pre posterous than the ,continued refusal of admission into the House of CL Nimmons of the members of a class of citizens who heave shown by their scrupu lous concern about the termsof an oath the fidelity with which they wet ild keep any oath they., undertook to be bo and by. Second only in preposterousness to this is the farce which has been enacted in connection with Baron ROTHS CHILD at the expense of our representative sys tem. And as throwing a flood of absurdity over the entire affair must be regarded the fact that the words "on the truie faith of a Christian" were confessedly never is Mended to exclude the Jews, but, on the sontn try, a widely different class whose exclusion they ai,solutely failed to effect ! The genius of SWfFT might have reviled in the history of the Oath of Abjuration Bill, which Lord DERBY was auxious.after a whimsical fashion to amend by shearing it of part of its absurdity and preserving its misdirected sting. We sincerely trust the commencement- of next Session, at latest, will see the just claims of our Jewish fellow citizens recognised, and Lord DERBY good naturedly accepting what he cannot ulti mately prevent. Official reticence may sometimes be official wis dom in a sense far from complimentary, and if we are not mistaken an instance of this sort was furnished by the Earl of CLARENDON last night. On being asked by Lord LYNDHURST whether he was prepared to lay upon the table the corre spondence between the English Government and that of Naples, his reply was tantamount to a negative. The. King of NAPLES—according, we suppose; to Curt gossip—had ordered his Minister to prepare a reply to the last remonstrance, and until that was received the production of the cor respondence was not, in the Earl's opinion, to be thought of, being contrary to all precedent. Now, plain thinking people like ourselves had arrived at the conclusion that in the present infamous State Trials our Government had got a very decisive answer, one that ren dered a formal reply next to superiluous. Lord CLARENDON, as Foreign Minister, addresses a note of remonstrance, accompanied probably by a threat, a second or third time, to a little Italian Court, complaining of the daily and hourly out rages of the Government, not merely on the Neapolitan constitution, but on the very genius of humanity. What follows ? The seizure of some seventy worthy citizens, including a number of unsife3ding ministers of religion, monks and priests, at one fell swoop, and on suborned evi dence. Of these, the accusation of not more than eleven will bear the light—the rest, after under going much indignity, are released, and the un fortunate eleven, spit on, immured in the foulest dungeons, and beaten, or threatened. to be beaten, until a few, in their intolerable innocence, confess to an imaginary, and relief-bringing guilt. So imaginary that neither rampant perjury, nor recorded confession, can present their case, when brought before the tribunal of Justice (I), in any other light, to the meanest understanding, than that of a foul and abominable wrong. Naples all the while continuing otherwise a deepening hell ! This, surely, was answer enough, and the Esti of CLARENDON seems to us unconsciously, it may be, to have confessed, by his reply, Government felt themselves in error, in not having, in conjunction with France, given instructions for the appearance of a few of the transports and war vessels of the Allies, returning from the Crimea, in the Bay of Naples ! However this may be, intervention has been delayed longer than is prudent, and may be so, until anarchy supervenes On what might be a constitutional revolution. THE KING OF THE BELGIANS. We learn from Dover that his Majesty the King of the Belgians was expected to arrive at that port this day, at about 2 p.m., from Ostend. JENNY LIND'S LAST CONCERT. The farewell of the matchless Queen of Song to the English public took place in Exeter Hall last evening. The furore that her introduction to the British boards excited nine year age was manifested on this iccasion in undiminished intensity, and she quits the shores where sbe has gained se many triuniptis, encir cled with a halo' of no less resplendent admiration than wren she first secured our homage. She has reigned in the heart of England, and her name is familiar amongst 'Us as a household 'word, as this paragon of her - art, and as a model of benevolence and purity, The " Farewell Concert" la-t night is likely to be re membered for a long time to come by the salience and herself, evince the demorMration that accompanied it was worthy of both, and flattering to both. As it was un doubtedly the last concert, and as everything connected with the event must possess a certaia kind of interest, we subjoin the pr , gramdie : PART I. •" Clemenil di Tito 0 verturo—' .

The regret of parting with such a singer was made all the more poignant by the splenflour of h er perform .nces , , which left the fixed impression that Jenny Lind was about to retire into private life in the very meridian of her powers. When she first came on to sing in Men uehisohn's hyMn she was weld tined by a universal sheit of applause. As. the concert progressed the enthu siasm of the audience got warmer and warmer, unti;, after the song of the Queen of the Night (from " Die Z9.uberflote), which taxes the highest notes of the voice so terribly, it became exacting and she was compelled to repeat the Allegro ---one performance alone of which is enough to shake the physical force of the strongest and most expert •• vocalist. • The great fiaale front "La Sonnambula" oresented threefold diffi culties after such an • effort ; but these were overcome with ease, and the cantabile singing in the recitative and /argo, " Ail non credea," was unsurpa,s. able for pathos, :delicacy, and refinement, disclosing all the old beauties so often described—and especially that incomparable soto rose shake at. the conclusion --in colours more than ever attractive. Tnis truly exquisite perform ance was listened to tbrenghont by the whole of the vat audiEmce in breathless silence, followed by such a burst of applanse as seldom meets the gratified ears of an ar tiste. The last notes of Jenny Lind will not very soon be forgotten by those who wen fatunate enough to hear them. They represented the final greeting of one who has rather been idolised than courted as an ordinary public favourite, and were listened to with an interest little sh , ,rt of painful. To portray the scene of parti, g is not easy. The audience rose as one, applauding, cheering, and waving hats and handkercitieh3, with a enthusiasm that defies description. Tile oject of this ovation was at length so orwed by it that she caugLt the infection from her admirers, and waved her own handk&r,.thief, first to the audience, and then to the or chestia, with a heartiness that left little doubt of her emotion. When she had gone she was called back again, and the scene repeated. We cannot conclude without bestowing . a cordial word of praise on Mr. Mitchell for his management of the past series of performances, in which he has been ably seconded by the exertions of Mr. Chapman and the indefatigable Mr. Nimmo. It should also be mentioned that the ladies and gentlemen who have been privileged to assist at the performances given by Mr. and Madame Goldschmidt have resolved on raising a testimonial such as may be deemed acceptable to the Swedish Nightingale and her accomplished husband. We are sorry to learn that Lord St Leonards bas been confined to his room for the last ten days by a severe accident to his left foot, on his way to the House of Lords. He is progressing favourably, but will not be able to leave the bou.e for some time. PRINCE NAPOLEON'S Canisn.—Prince Napoleon is now in Orkney, on his way to Iceland. The Prince left Inverness in his yacht on Monday. He has engaged several scientific gentlemen from the east coast of Scot. land to accompany him in his voyage to the Arctic regions. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.—A reduced farmer and his wife went to the fair of Bandon for the purpose of sell ing a cow, which they disposed of for 31. The farmer put the money, for safety, into his breast pocket ; but having occasion in a short time to make use of a portion of it, he put his hand into the pocket, but, to his dismay, he found himself minus the 31., together with the purse in which he had put his money. He and his wife went into a house in the town, and the wife, goit,g out into the yard, perceived a woman sitting there holding a child in her arms. Having told the woman of her mie• fortune, the latter desired, her to take the child for a few momenta while she went out to see her husband. This she did, and in a short time the strange woman re• turned in company with a man, who, without uttering a word, flung at the feet of the farmer's wife the identical purse which had been lost. The woman took her child and both of them decamped. The farmer's wife then took up the purse, and on opening it found it contained not merely the lost 31., but the sum of 151., which she kept.— Cork Examiner. M Ai it IL- ANA' COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Tw.4 The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with some animation, with a slight improvement. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales-1,000 for export and 3,000 on speculation—comprising 540 . 60 • Pernambuco and Maranham, 60. to 60. ; 100 3.3 i Bahia, 61d. to 60. ; 600 Egyptian, 61d. to Bd.; 0 . and '7,000 Sprats, 4d. to 4.1 d. per lb. The Rail- „. way Share Market closed actively, and prices were without any change. The Colonial Wool Market is rather dull, owing ="-- to the increased supply recently received from the dt. Australian colonies. Another series of public sales 8 5 ,i is fixed for the 17th inst., when it is expected 60 ,) or 65,000 bales will be offered, most of which has :10 30 already arrived. 10 The letters by the Overland Mail report the 10 arrival, from Adelaide, of the ship Albemarle at .- .:: () 5 Ceylon, and hence we have intelligence from that colony to the 10ili April, and from Melbourne (via `4 O Adelaide) to the 6th April. The Earl of Sefton, 8 1: with the London mail of the 19th December, and 'di) the Oliver Lang, with that of January 7, had both n arrived out, and the former had had a very pro- t;t, tracted voyage. The Burra Burra shares were 10 quoted 125 ex dividend. 'Very few papers or letters to' have been received, and the intelligence is conse quently of a meagre description. The banks were issuing 30 days' drafts at 21 per cent., and buying bills at per cent. . Accoutitsfiom Elavre to the close of last week report great steadiness in commercial affairs. The prices of cotton continued firm, with some large sales during the week. Sugar was in demand, and the feeling generally was that there would be a rise in the markets this season throughout Eu rope. Notwithstanding the increase in the num ber of manufactories of sugar front beetroot in France, the demand keeps pace with the supply, and it is calculated that in the event of a scarcity of colonial sugars, there would not be a very large export from thence unless at exorbitant prices. The deposit of sugar in the government stores was 84,000,000 kilos, being 39,000,000 kilos more than at the same period last year. The weekly commercial report from Antwerp states that during the past week business generally has been quiet, and prices have been fully main tained. In coffee the chief transactions were for home consumption, 351 c. per x kilo. for good quali ties, and 27 to 281 c. for lower kinds. The stocks on hand comprised 28,000 bags St. Domingo, and 33,500 do. Brazils. The sugar market was firm with a slight advance in prices, 191 florins per 50 kilos. for Havannah to 21?,- florins for raw sugars ; and refined ditto was much in demand. The grain market was steady with an upward movement in wheat and rye, at 171- ; to 19 florins for English wheat per 80 kilos., and 10k to 11. florins for do. rye. The London Dock Company's half-yearly meet ing was held to-day—`Jr. Cattley in the chair—at which a report was presented, which stated that the directors recommended a dividend of 21. 10s. per cent. for the half year out of the balance in favour of the company of 247,5821., free of income tax. The number of loaded ships which, entered the dock in the half-year was 524, measuring 206,212 tons. After a short discussion the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks was passed to the directors. The B ink of France this day pays a dividend of 137 francs for the half-year. : This is about 15 or 20 francs more than in the previous six months. In consequence of a renewal of speculative sales by parties desirous of securing their profits, the upward movement lately noticed in the English Stock Market is temporarily checked, and the Funds this morning have been flat, at yesterday's latest values. A similar change is apparent in the other markets, which have recently presented such remarkable animation and buoyancy, buf it arises solely from the cause already mentioned, monetary and political affairs remaining in a satis factory poSition. Consols have been 95g, alternately buyers and sellers, and may now be quoted 95 -1; e . The Scrip is dull and nominal. Exchequer Bills are 12s. to 155., premium, and the Bonds 992- 100 x. The New Tnree per Cents. have been 961 and the Reduced 951 Bank Stock is 217. In the Foreign market there is less activity. Turkish 6 per Cents. hays been 1061 -Li, and since 106 to 1061. The 4 per Cents. are 10615 : Mexi can have receded to 2n and 231. Grenada De, ferred are steady at 7, and Spanish Certificates are worth 6. Peruvian Dollar Bonds have risen to 58. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, i 8 ; Mexi can, 221 3j ; Peruvian, 81 83 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 56 8 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 49 51 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 110 112 ; ditto 4-i per Cents., 98 100 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 461 1, ex div. ; ditto New Deferred, 251, ; ditto Certificates, 61- i ; ditto Passive, 61 7. Railway Shares aro all fluter, and the dealings are not so numerous. The principal lines are gene rally about ss. to 103. per share weaker. Some of the Suitch lines are down 1/. to v. lOs., but Aberdeens are an exception, being higher. The French rule flat. In Banks and Miscellaneous Shares the transac tions are to a fair extent at rather lower prices. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.-CLOSING PRICES.

The rates of freight exhibit no material variation. In the general business of the port of London during the past week there has been considerable activity, the t rtal number of vessels reported inward from foreign parts being 216.

" Reasons of delicacy and affection for foreign Prince ° allied to our family forbade us doing more. Ili° " But, on reading the exposé des motifs of the b ill w, ) has been submitted to us, we found therein a word wio_f li our respect for the memory of our father and our self-esteem could not allow us to leave without a reply " It is the word bienveillance. ° " Benevolence can only be exercised where there is 0 „, rightful claim. Now, our claims are founded on the S", thority of the law, and the justice of the country 013 0 firmed it, until thed..y when justice itself had to cede force. " Benevolence then, which denies a right, is therefor e°. new attack on the memory of our father, and we must r e ' pel it. " In 1852 a policy, accustomed to look upon money an instrument of revolution, tried to take precauti°/1 against us by confiscating the property of-6,, family. . 0 , eudeftvours to give a colouring to the injustice and / Ls levee of its prbeeedings by consider a tions revolting to public conscience, and against which we protested at tb time. •' To-day the word' benevolence' applied to the propell measure, implies the same idea es those considerations, afl this is why we renew our protest. " Perhaps by so doing we may be obeying a sentio 3 s o ; of exaggerated susceptibility when so much remains France of the blessings of the government of our fat l l! who .fare say he reigned only fur narrow family interesio, The Frenchman ever devoted to his country, who, in 1 7 , fought as a 8 ,Flier to repel foreign invasion ; the IC4I who for eighteen years knew how to .m a ke F ia nce as well as prosperous ; the King who gave it that and‘): the heroism of which bas just covered our flags new glory; that King is for ever above the attacks calumny.

For a considerable period he had been confined to if chamber by a severe illness, which be bore with ins_ l / 4 4 patience and Christian resignation. R e ti re d many I' 4 I since, from the pursuit of his profession, he gave up or remainder of his life to the e njoy men t s o f an ace,lo plinked taste, and to the graver studi es o f religion.

We hold that England is the great country Of drama. Allowing t..) the foreign stage all the dexter l 7i variety, and brilliancy of the melodrama , no °P r nation than our own has ever supplied, in either a utk l li ship or acting, the intense feeling, the strong Mel l o to nature, or the ardent imagination, essential t , ), %,I true drama.

On the contrary, he immedia i t r established a re p u t a ti on of his own. A handsome 1p son, a si ngu l ar l y ex p re ssive cou n t enance, an d a re voice, were only the advantageous exterior of a pi markably intelligent and sensitive un d ers t an di n g. e l l this capacity he was equally suited to represent t bl classic drama and the works of the modern stage. 1 0 : 11l • Brutus of Sbakspere he as the Roman, a s he 131 1 1 have declaimed in the Capitol.
