STAMPED EDITION OF " THE SUN." The Latest Edition of The Sun, Stamped, in time for Post, may always be had from half past 5 till 7 o'clock every evening. Subscribers in the Country will please to observe that the heading " THIRD EDITION" is always to be seen on the papers containing the latest news. If any difficulty be experienced in obtaining that Edition, a communication to The Sun Office will remedy it. Sun Office, 112, Strand. 4 „, 'A ; LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1!56, The Austrian Charge d'Affaires recently applied to the French Government to prevent the collec tion of subscriptions for the purchase of guns for the protection and armament of the fortress of Alessandria. Sinee that time the Russian Envoy has visited and minutely inspected the works, and has doubtless communicated a full description thereof to his Government. This intense anxiety respecting a fortification purely of a defensive character, and which has already rendered good serviee to Piedmont, affords a significant hint as to the intentions of two Emperors, and the promp titude with which the assurance was given by a third that steps had already been taken in antici pation of the Austrian demand, discloses the animus of the other wielder of an Imperial sceptre. The fact is that as a Constitutional Government, one of the few still remaining in Europe, Sardinia is peculiarly distasteful to Despots. It is only less obnoxious than Great Britain, and, from its position, attempts may be more easily made a,cfaiust its integrity and independence. It is particularly the bete noir of the Red Emperor. As the recognised champion of Italian freedom it disturbs his rest, and, like HAMAN of old, ho in dulges his spleen so far that he can never be happy so long as VICTOR EMMANUEL, the modern MORDEV&I, retains his position amongst the poten tates of Europe: We have thus FRANCIS JOSEPH to bully ; ALEXANDER, the recently-annointed Czar and Pope, to spy ; and Lours NAPOLEON to play their game so far as his authority can extend. They are indeed par mobile fratrum, each doing his best, or rather his worst, within his own sphere to crush constitutionalism in any territory where it , can be discovered. Their feelings are mani fested by their conduct, respecting Alessan dria. But, fortunately, Englishmen are not bound to respect their wishes. They can still "do as they like with their own ;" and neither Prince, Emperor, Czar, nor Kaiser can control their determination. Why, then, should not the subscription, checked if not prohibited in France, be carried out in England, so as to achieve its object, to render Alessandria, if not impregnable, at least so strong as to delay for a considerable time the progress of any invader. 'VICTOR Exr- MANITEL now leads the vanguard of those arrayed under the banner of freedom. Any reverse which he might sustain would be fatal to the cause every Englishman mist have at heart, and Great Britain would probably be selected as the next victim. VICTOR EMMANUEL possesses irresistible claims on our gratitude. When Austria was basely tem porising, and Prussia professing a despicable neu trality, he came nobly forward, and with heroic confidence flung himself into the breach. Look ing- merely to the past, ho would be entitled to any assistance which he could require. But be yond the mere matter of good feeling, we should for our own sakes render it freely and liberally ; for although ho may have to bear the brunt of the encounter, we may rest assured that, should he fall, our day of trial cannot long be deferred. With a Government strongly in fluenced by the :spirit of Germanism, no national pecuniary assistance can be anticipated. But there is nothing to prevent individual efforts, which should be the more energetic in consequence of the apathy and indifference of the Cabinet. The continued drain of the precious metals, to which we yesterday adverted, is indeed a matter of serious importance to the industrial interests of the country. Unless adequate measures be THE SU.N, LONDON, FRIDAY EVE,-if-o7iii, E? EMBER, 10, IVA forthwith adopted to check the evil, we shall, ere another year has passed, witness a monetary panic far more formidable in character, and serious in its results, than that which led to the com mercial crisis of 1847. Why, then, should not precautionary measures be forthwith adopted ? Why should the fatal comment, " too late," be applicable to everything connected with the administration of English affairs ? Under the present iniquitous code there is no mode by which the enormous exportation can be checked. So long as it proves profitable to the speculators it will continue, and the industrial population of the. country will have to endure the most fearful misery and privations, in order that the money ocracy may still further enhance their overgrown. hoards. Large sums have already been with drawn from the country. And the Times, a good. authority on such a point, warns us that we must look forward to the exportation of at leas t eighteen millions of pounds sterling a large portion thereof in silver, within the. year, commencing in July last. How, we ask, can this be borne with the existing money laws, the real cause of the national diFs tress ? Should it take place, the Bank reserve, as well as the notes in circulation, will be reduced to the minimum amount, and there will not be sufficient of the measure and representative of value in the hands of the public to carry on the, transactions of every-day life. Our fellow-citizen s will be subjected to the fate of TANTALUS, being starved in the sight of plenty, while the curren.cy quacks are carrying out their heartless views. As OTO have already stated, there is but one efficient remedy—one mode by which we can escape from the difficulty. We must economise the precious metals—must provide a substitute for the sovereigns—which are now used merely as counters, where one pound notes would far more efficiently discharge the necessary functiona. These notes being issued on National security would be perfectly safe. There could, in Net, be no possibility of failure, or even of deprecia tion. While some 65,000,0001. is annually re quired by the exigencies of the Exchequer, any thing that would satisfy the claims of the tax :atherer, and render his visits—neither few nor far between—less formidable, would not be re garded as merely " worthless rags." They would gladly be received by butcher, baker, and all those with whom the anxious pater familias is brought into daily contact. The certainty that every person could forthwith pass them at their nominal value would insure their efficacy. This is, then, what we require. The " issue of really national notes of small denominations, in quanti ties sufficient to provide for the domestic circula tion of the country, with these we could weather the storm ; without ,them we shall !have to go through an ordeal of no ordinary magnitude. Mr. JANES WILSON has already clearly and dis tinctly pointed out that the issue of twenty mil lions of Government one-pound notes would be equivalent to the discovery of a store of gold of equal amount in the heart of England 1 Why do we not profit by the information ? Why do we remain indifferent on a subject of such vital im portance, on which the welfare and happiness of the great majority of the people so greatly depend ? It is indeed hard to account for this extraordinary apathy. The bullionists have contrived to mystify the question, and to puzzle those who have not devoted time and consideration thereto. But the matter must ere long force itself into general notice ; and surely we should not wait until the evil has arisen. The stable door should be fas tened. while the steed is still safe. The Bank Charter Act must be revoked. next , ses sion ; and surely the topic is of suf ficient importance not merely to justify, but imperatively to require a winter session. It would offer a far better return for the senatorial labours than the Foreign Enlistment Bill, which embroiled us with America, and gave us only a German Legion, to be handsomely provided for at the expense of the English veterans who have borne the burden of the war. A National Treasure has just been secured by the expenditure of 3,8201. sterling—SHAKsrEßE'3 birthplace, the cottage in which the " Immortal Bard" was born in the some time village, now the flourishing market-town of Stratford-upon-Avon ! Good news this, we take it, for every true-hearted, right-minded Englishman. No more fear now of a long-dreaded and at one time apparently an imminently impending desecration. The crumbling brickwork and worm-eaten rafters are no longer, thank Heaven, in danger of being carted away for so much "builders' rubbish"—as happened not very long ago (don't we all of us bitterly remem• ber that act of clerical Vandalism !) in regard to nnother classic tenement—SuaKsPEßE's death place, not a couple of furlongs from SHABSPERE'S birthplace, in that same world-famous Stratford upon-Avon. So that there actually remains no longer any vestige at all of New Place—the com fortable dwelling-house in which the greatest poet the world ever saw breathed his last on the me morable fifty-second anniversary of his birth : such a world of glory, of wisdom, and of poetry being comprised within the narrow span of time be tween April the 233, 1564, and April the 233, 1616, the dates of the coming and of the going of our glorious Dramatist ! Years ago—and the honoured home in which he expired was wantonly rased to the ground by the petulance of a spiteful Ignoramus, who even took a certain strange and despicable pleasure in tearing up by the roots the venerable mulberry tree said to have been planted two centuries gone-by ii the adjacent garden-plot' by the glorious hand of WILLIAM SILAKSPERE ! Remembering which same heathenish atrocity the lovers of the name and fame thus outraged beyond the reach of reparation, feared, and not without much reason, lest some evil chance might in a similar man ner sweep from the surface of the earth the other, the earlier and humbler home of SHAKS2ERE at Strat ford-upon-Avon. Hence the effort recently made for its purchase by a sort of national subscription. The effort but just now crowned with a success so signally satisfactory. The SHARSPERE'S Houk Committee having at length been able to realise its design completely—buying at once and for ever not merely the cottage itself, but the adjoin ing tenements to the right hand and to the left ; a judicious supplementary purchase, enabling them to insulate from the accidents of fire and other casualties the humble pile in Henley-street ) the object of so much natural veneration. It is at once curious and interesting to relate how all this has but just now been so very happily ac complished. The final purchase-money having , been munificently supplied byone JOHN SHALSPEARE, a large-hearted, open-handed gentleman,. of Leices tershire. A namesake—this—of the Poet's Father, a namesake still Jiving amongst us, and long may he still continue to live amongst us—the worthy preserver of a wealth he knows how to distribute, of a name he knows how to honour, of an enthu siasm he knows how to demonstrate ! A sum of 2,5001. in ringing golden coin of the realm has this noble spirited Leicestershire gentleman paid over to complete the purchase for the nation of the poor little cottage in which the " Immortal Bard" was born—a cottage glorified into a shrine by his advent, as the cottage of BAtras and Panaraox was glorified by the fabled advent of JUPITER ! For the particulars of this remarkable act of munificence on the part of " JOHN SHAKSPEARE, of Leicester, Esquire," we are indebted to that pleasant, garrulous, bird-like Gossip in the Illustrated London, News, who delights the public week by week--(under the slovenly heading of "Town. and Table Talk in Literature, Art, ic.")— with so many appetising scraps of agreeable and out-of-the-way intelligence. Not any more de lectable crumb of comfort has he yet given us than the one now devoured with such eager avidity—the one which assures us that a not uavrorthy name sake of the Great Poet has at length secured to the English nation the possession henceforth (until its solid bricks and rafters shall have crumbled into dust) of the cottage consecrated by the homage of three centuries, visited by so many obscure and famous pilgrims, and regarded by all with such natural and enduring interest as the birth-place of the greatest of all Englishmen 1 BABY FRANCE'S INVITATION. PARIS, 16 Mars, 1856. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, Si.tn 17. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort drove out yesterday afternoon, accom panied by his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange and his Serene Highness the Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar. In the morning the Prince of Orange went out deer stalking. The Royal dinner party yesterday included his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his. Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe-Weiccar, her Serene Highness Princess Amalie of Hohenlohe-Schillingfursi, Lady Augusta Bruce, and Lord James Murray. ' Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived at Cam bridge House, Piccadilly, yesterday, from St. Leonard's. Despatches, were received at the Colonial-office yes terday, from the Governors of Ceylon, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Western Australia, and Malta. The International Congress of Beneficence held its first 'sitting at Brussels on the 15th. After a speech from M. Rogier, who was re-elected president by &cola mation, the assembly proceeded to the business of the day. A letter was read from the Intendant of the Civil List, announcing that his Majesty the Bing of the Belgians would honour the Congress with his presence on the 17th.

SALMON FISHERY IN SCOTLAND.—The salmon fishing in Scotland tilosed on Saturday. The season has been upon the whole a deficient one ; the greatest deficiency has been in the seacoast fishings and in grilse. Rod fishing bad latterly improved, particularly in Aberdeen and Banffshire, but here also the season has been unfa vourable. We referred a few days ago to the sale of four of the smaller vessels of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company. Two of these, viz., the Propontis and the Harlingen, were purchased, we understand, by a Russian naval officer of rank for account of the Russian Govern ment. The sum paid for them is stated to be 23,0001., a price which seems to be considered satisfactory to the shareholders. It is also reported that the directors are in treaty for the sale of twelve of the larger veseels. ARCHEFISCOPAL CottthEßY.—The Bath Chronicle gives great prominence iii its columns to the following announcement His worship the Mayor of Bath, Mr. W. Bush, has had the honour of receiving, through the Lord Bishop of- Durham, a remarkably fine haunch of venison from his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, as a slight acknowledgment of his Grace's appreciation of the mayor's courtesy and arrangements for the com fort and convenience of the court lately assembled in this city to adjudicate in the case of Ditcher v. Denison.'" PERVERSION IN HIGH LIFE. —The Northern Times, a Roman Catholic paper published in Scotland, says : " Her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Argyll, who has lately renounced the errors of Protestantism, received the Holy Sacrament of Confirmation on Saturday last at 7 o'clock a.m. ) at the Cathedral of St. Andrew's, in this city (Glasgow). Her Grace subsequently heard mass, and participated in the Holy Communion. The celebrant on the occasion was his lordship (!) the Right Rev. Bishop Murdoch, V.A.E.D." THE LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE BELGIAN CONGRESS.—LIVERPOOL, Thursday Evening. — At the meeting of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce this day, it was resolved, after sn able and earnest, but very temperate discussion, on the motion of Mr. J. R. Jeffery, seconded by Mr. R. Gladstone, that Mr. C. Holland, the chairman, Mr. J. Torr, the vice-chairman, and Mr. J. Aikin, the treasurer, should constitute a de putation to the Free Trade Congress of Brussels, on be half of the chamber; and that Mr. W. Brown, M.P. for South Lancashire, and M. J. C. Ewart and Mr. Hors fall, the two members for the borough, should be invited to accompany them. FETE AT THE CRYSTAL PALICE.—A circular, addresei to the principals of establishmants, to the following effect, has been issued from the Ea:ly Closing Association:— " I take the liberty of inforning you that the directors of the Crystal Palace Compaq have kindly consented that Saturday, the 20th September, shall be a shilling day ; and that the Early Closing Association shall re ceive part of the proceeds of ad such tickets as may be sold through its instrumentality. The board of manage ment are desirous, therefore, of pecuniary grounds, that the attendance of visitors should be numerous ; and also because of the hope that it may encourage the directors, ere long, to make Saturday a general shilling day. - Under these circumstances, the board will take it as a great favour, if, amongst your personal friends, and the mem bers of your establishment, you will obligingly use your influence to secure a large company on the .oc casion." _ SOUTH AND EAST TAMAR M:DlE.—There is no proba bility of the agents of these mines being able to re-open and work them. In South Tamar the water in the shafts rises and falls with the tides. A. great deal of timber has come up the shaft from the 30 and 60 fathom levels. - A. great deal of timber has also come lip to' the surface in the river. On Saturday last, the water in the South Tamar shaft sadcleAly tell 14 feet. It most have found a way into the East Tamar sett, as the water. was hen higher in the river than it was in the shaft. In East Tamar the works are entirely suspended The water is here rising rapidly, having broken through' the slide in the level between the mine and South Tamar. At present the water is above the 60 fathom level, and is rising fast. THE CWMDYLE ROOK MINING COMPANY.—The wind ing up of this company proceeds on the petition of Mr. J. F. Delamere and Mr. G. E. Beckers, two of the share holders, who state that it was formed in 1850 to work copper mines in Eeddgelert, Carnarvonshire, under a lease from Sir R. Bulkeley, with a capital of 30,000/., in 10,000 shares of 31. each. Mr. Delamere subscribed for 582 shares, and Mr. Beckers for 696, and paid. the deposits thereon. The mines, which are situated on the side of Snowdon, were worked, but no profit was derived to the shareholders and there are debts and liabilities amounting to 2,0681. to be discharged. The working of the mine is now only carried on to a limited extent, principally to avoid forfeiture of the lease, and it is alleged that the difficulties in which the company have been placed, arose principally from the fact of its having com menced operations with a very small working capital. EXTRAORDINARY SIIIVIDE.—A suicide of a most de termined character was committed a few days ago in the Devon County Gaol, Exeter. An old man, named William Aggett, had been committed from Prince Town, Dartmoor, to take his trial on a charge of'steal ing timber. He had, it appeared, cherished hopes of an. 1 acquittal, but a short time ago his son was committed on a similar charge to the same gaol. This evidently preyed upon his mind, and one morning Aggett was found suspended to a water-pipe in his cell. lie had )nly one arm, and this he had tied across his belly , with a handkerchief, and had also tied his legs together. He had taken other precautions to 'carry out his pur nose quietly, and had contrived to hang himself with a Mete of tar roue which he had to pick into oakum. His , eck was not 'dislocated, but he was dead when found by the warder. CROSSING THE LlNE.—Amongst the vessels composing ,he squadron lying off the west coast of Africa, there is )ne (the Hecla) just gone out to join those alreaCly, there. On crossing the line the savage ceremony of "shaving " was performed on about 90 unfortunate sailors. Amongst hem was one poor fellow, named Henry Green, who, after having been subjected to the infamous shaving pro ess, in order to escape being dragged into the water by those ruffians stationed near him for the purpose, at tempted to jump into it. In the attempt, however, he knocked his head against some part of the vessel, and in a short time expired. On making a post-mortem axamination it was found that the poor creature's neck was broken. The poor fellow leaves a wife and family in Plymouth to deplore his loss. This barbarous custom is forbidden by the Admiralty, and it will be very strange should the conduct of the officer in command of the Hecla 'n this occasion be allowed to pass without inquiry. THE GREAT COMET.—The German astronomers are divided in their opinions as to the reappearance of the great comet of 1556, and their learned discussions on the -übject take up a great deal of room in the limited columns of their newspapers. ,It was known that Peter Fabricius, a famous Austrian mathematician - Of those lays, had written a very erudite dissertation at the time, and published his own observations of the comet, but the work itself had been lost. A French translation, however, printed in 1557, has just been discovered by the bookseller Herr K. F. Kohler, of Leipsic, amongst his old books, aed he is now reprinting it for general sale. It is written in the form of a set of letters ad dressed to the Abbot of the Monastery at Lilienfield, in Austria, and contains a series of illustrations, one of which represents a segment of the starry firmament, on which is marked the course of the comet according to the mathematician's own observations. THE PERA.--SOUTHAMPTON, Sept. 18.—This fine 'crew steamer, now the largest of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's fleet, arrived last night with the Indian and Mediterranean mails, and has ace impli-,hed another rapid voyage from Alexandria. Although dur iug the out ward passage the Pera, owing to a succession of strong head winds, was prevented from maintaining her usual rate of speed, yet homewards, with many diffi culties to contend with, this fine steamer fully compen sated for th e l oss of time experienced after leaving Southampton for Alexandria on the 20th ultimo. The passengers from Calcutta who have arrived reach Eng land in considerable less time than ever yet effeOSed, the average speed maintained throughout the entire distance (which is calculated' at 7,950 nautical miles) being 10i knots per hours • The company's screw steamer Nubia did the work on the ether side of the Isthmus, having the monsoon to contend with the, greater portion of the way. When abreast the Cave Rocks, on the 11th inst., Captain Soy, the - commander of the Pere, observed a flag on them and Men running about. Thinking they might be some of thee crew of the recently wrecked steamer Spartan, he bore away at once for the lapd, and when as near as was judged safe, he sent the chief offi eer in a boat to communicate. After being away about an hour he discovered that they were three Arabs, wbo bad come across from the mainland, and pitched a tent, probably with the view of picking up anything whi.h might remain of the wreck. Complaints have arrived by this packet of the inattention of the Cowes pilots. The Pera passed Portland at 6.30 p.m., St. Alban's-head p t hisany'sdescription own B,wath h t an e d co th m e Needles at 9 p.m., with the weather mods. rate and fine, b u t did not see a pilot boat until she met it i o mp , or fo ta r nc in e of neglect of .

LATEST _NEWS. MADRID, SEPT. 17. The constitution, as well as the additional act, has been very favourably received. Nothing has yet been decided on relative to the sale of church property and the question of the octroi duties. A telegraphic despatch from Vienna announces that on the 12th the King of Naples had received Baron de Hubner. It is known that the Austria:n . envoy' is charged with a mission in support of the remonstrance of the Western Powers. The French Government, unless some unfore seen events occur, is about to recal M. Brenier and the whole of the Embassy from Naples. That diplomatist's last despatches do not now hold out any hopes of an amicable settlement of the Neapolitan difficulties. M. Manin continues to receive numerous sub scriptions for the 100 cannons. From Bordeaux alone he has a list of 306 persons offering 612 f. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times (second edition), in a letter dated Sept. 11, says ; —As the Czar is his own Minister, and is un derstood to act entirely on his own judgment and responsibility, people are naturally very curious to know how he received the Ministers to-day, and according to the stories I hear, his Majesty was very gracious to M. de Morny at the levee; and conversed with him for some time. He alluded to the readi ness evinced .by France to, conclude the peace, and to remove all impediments to an entente cordiale. With Lord Granville he was, on dit, more reserved, and he is understood to have made some pointed allusions to the atti tude of the English Cabinet. "We were tres-lies in days gone by," said his Majesty, " but it is to be hoped that the estrangement will not con tinue." Lord Granville replied in a low tone of voice. To Prince Esterhazy the manner of the Emperor was at first exceedingly dry and cold, but the veteran diplomatist spoke with such effect, and gave such assurances of the sincere desire which actuated a large party in Austria to return to their premiers amours, that the Emperor was visibly moved, and held out his hand ere the Prince ceased. When the Turkish Minister was in troduced he read at some length his letters of creances, but the Czar became impatient ere the conclusion, and dismissed the Envoy with a few short sentences. At the ball in the evening the Empress danced with M. de Morny, Lord Gran and the Turkish Minister. Shades of Ma hornet, Suleman the Magnificent, and Selim the Terrible, what must ye have thought when the Ambassador of the Sublime Porte led the Czarina forth to the polonaise ! The Emperor danced with the Countess of Granville, and was very gracious in his manner towards her. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. General d'Orgoui (says the Semaphore of Mar seilles), ambassador of the King of the Birmans, has just arrived here in the Simcis. The general has been at Alexandria for the last two months, waiting for information from Paris as to whether he would be received. It appears that the last packet from Marseilles brought the requisite infor mation, and that an. aide-de-camp of the Emperor would receive the Birmese mission at Marseilles. The Moniteur Algerien of the 10th, after giving the details.of the late affairs with tho, Kabyles, adds some lines which leads to the belief that ex tensive-military operations in Algeria will soon be commenced. It says :—" Now that we have had the time to assemble an imposing force at Dra el Mizan, not only is there no longer any danger of I hat post being attacked, but the moment is doubt less near when we shall assume the offensive, and extend our dominion further. It is not, in fact, sufficient for us to resist our enemies ; we must, for our security, keep them always under the in fluence of our arms, and render it impossible for them to recommence their attacks, either against us, or against the tribes who have submitted to our rule."

Nevertheless, we have to deplore great disasters which have befallen some islands in the Archipelago of the Molticas. My government, supported by public bene ficence,-is• endeavouring-to alleviate their sad effects. Although free trader with Japan has not yet been obtained, we are nevertheless striving with perseverance to attain this result. In the meantime, a provisional conventluti has confirmed the ancient treaties, has facilitated the dealings of our countrymen there, and rendered relations with the government of this country more favourable. The lot of the slaves in the western colonies does not cease to form the subject of my deep solicitude. Measures have been taken for ameliorating their present condition, in order to prepare their social reform, on which head propositions will be submitted to you during this session. The inte*r: itate of the zouctry ought to inspire us with a deep Neling of gratitude. Commerce, navigation, agriculture, and different branches of industry are iu a state that leaves nothing to be desired. Everything as Tet announces a good harvest. My attention continues to .be directed to all those works that can insure the security and prosperity of the country. More rapid means of communication, so useful to its external and internal traffic, ought not to be wanting to the Netherlands. The plans for railways warrant the hope of seeing created a network of railways over the whole extent of the laud. May this hope not be disappointed ! I de pend on your co-operation for supporting, at the expense of the State, private enterprises, where the resources of the latter may be insufficient. The favourable state of our finances will permit a con tinuation of the sinking fund for our debt, touching which a project of law will be laid before you for your delibe ration. Projects of law for the organisation of tribunals, for a railway police, and other new projects, together with the remanets of last session, will be prsented to you. The projects of law for regulating the three branches of public instruction will be brought before you at- one and the same time. By this means you will be better enabled to preserve the necessary connection between the parts that are intended to form an undivided whole. To preserve its inviolability for everything belonging to the domain of conscience is one of the traditional duties transmitted to me lay ray ancestors. Impelled by this motive, we have sought the means of removing, as far as possible, the numerous scruples that the project of law on priniarreducatiou has given rise to. I wish to insure with your assistance to the Netherlands scholastic institutions, in which the religious character of the nation, forined and developed for ages by Chris tianity, may be respected, and which may consecrate at one and the same time the requirements of science and the principle of national unity. My serious intention is firmly to continue developing the moral strength and material welfare of the people, whose happiness is so dear to me. The proofs of affection, of which I and my house have so often been the- object, and which has so recently been lavished upon us during those festivals that recalled so many honourable recollections, as well as the union and fraternity we have seen prevailing, give me the assurance that I shall find the nation and you, its representatives, ready to support me in my efforts to consolidate the progress of all that is good and just, and to prevent dis cord from ever -taking root in our soil. To this end may Almighty God deign to bestow upon your efforts and labours his indispensable benediction I declare the present session of the States-General opened. AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter of the 13th says :—" The Aus trian Government has just received the reply of the powers to the memorandum relative to the organi sation of the Principalities drawn up by M. de Prokesch, and setting forth the reasons which op pose the union of the Principalities. This reply has satisfied the Austrian Cabinet, and it has been decided that nothing shall be said on the subject in the commission, but- that the opinion of the Divans shall be followed. Owing, however, to the co-operation of the new Kaimakans, it is hoped that the Divans will be composed of men who will easily abandon the idea of a union. The Princi palities will therefore retain a separate administra tion, but it is thought that the dignity of Hospo dar will become hereditary, and that the same con stitution as in the Principalities will be established in Servia." The Austrian, Gazette of Vienna, of the 13th, says :—" At the end of the month a mission will be sent from this city to Perria to carry out presents from the Emperor to the Shah, and to bring back horses. It will consist of several officers, of a me dical man, and of a number of domestics, in all about 30 persons ; the chief of it is a lieutenant colonel who has been a long time in Persia. For merly several Austrian officers were employed to drill the Persian army, and Dr. Pollak, physician to the Shah, is an Austrian." PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin, of the 15th, says :—"Queen Victoria has sent rich presents to the Princess Louisa, on the occasion of her approaching mar riage with the Grand Duke of Baden, and in a letter has expressed her regret at not being able to be present at the ceremony. The princess is the only sister of Prince Frederick William, who is to marry the Princes Royal of England." The same letter says :—" The price of all raw materials, especially silk, wool, and leather, has risen so extraordinarily that the government has thought right to demand from all the Chambers of Commerce their opinion as to the cause, and as to the means of preventing a further advance. The Prussian government has opened formal negotiations with Austria for en abling Prussian and German assurance companies to effect assurances in Austria. The Austrian go vernment is, by one of the articles of the treaty of commerce with the Zollverein, under a promise to do this. M. de Bulow, representative of Denmark in the Germanic Diet, had during his recent stay at Berlin frequent communications with the Rus sian Embassy. This seems to prove, what is gene rally supposed, that Denmark is supported by Russia in her 'conduct towards the Duchies, and in the negotiations she is carrying on with respect to them with the German powers." HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 1.5. The session of the States General was opened this day. The following is the text of the speech delivered by the King : Gentlemen,—To my great joy since I opened your last session the war between Russia and the allies has ceased, and peace being re-established is already giving promise of beneficent fruits. During those difficult circumstances we have main tained relations of good will and harmony with foreign powers, and we have every reason to rejoice in them at this moment also. Our forces by land and sea fulfil honourably the duties of their vocation. The required increase of materiel continues to be the constant object of my care. • Our colonies and possessions in other parts of the world enjoy, generally speaking, a happy tranquillity. Dove. Now, All you Children, Born to-day, I here invite with me to play, As soon as you " bonjour" can say, And toddle out our Paris way. I'll have a palace full of toys, Tops, marbles, whips, and guns for boys; Of mimic war we'll taste the joys, The drum makes such a charming noise. Or, if a little lass you be, Of dolls you'll find variety, With eyes that move—and almost see, An.d say, " Mamma, come quick ! dress me." We'll have a play-ground and a hall, Where boys may play at bat and' ball; And girls may feign a morning call, Or drape their doll hi evening shawl. And, should a doll behave ill-bred, Tears in a corner shall be shed, As you have wept, by Jeannette led Upstairs—when whipt and put to bed. We'll play a play as Kings and Queens, Or shepherds dance in milli scenes, And money count with shells and beans, And keep shop with our little means. We'll dine—and, all set round, partake Of wine, and fruit, and jam, and cake, And jelly—in a natural quake! Where children their appearance make. And when gay daylight has expired— (As all our friends have long desired !) Within our cots we'll slumber tired, By all our dear Mammas admired So will we imitate of right All that our ELDERS doth delight, Who laugh and cry—and kiss and fight Their little day—and, then—" Good Night."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 9, Billiter-street, London, 13th September, 1856. Snt,—The rapid manner in which the shares in all un dertakings lately projected for developing the resources of India have been taken up by the public shows the interest which India is beginn tug to '.excite in this country, and the perception of the enormous resources and the remune rative character of public works in that great dependency. This more general appreciation of the vast capabilities of India has been very much promoted by the lectures and publications of Colonel Cotton, late Chief Engineer of Madras, on the subject of Indian improvements, and, with your permission, I will recapitulate, for the informa tion of your reader, the conclusions arrived at by this emi nent authority. C.lonel Cotton states that the primary wants of India are cheap means of internal communication, and a large distribution of water for the purposes of irrigation. From the want of cheap means of internal communication, the productions of the interior of the country cannot be brought to a port of shipment in any considerable quantities, nor can British manufactures, especially of the cheaper kinds, be carried into the interior to that extent which would otherwise be possible. Great losses, not merely to the In dian Government and the native population, but also to the producing population of this country, consequently ensue. If the resources of India were properly developed she would be. able to purchase nearly all the manufactures we produce, and would be able to supply us in return with most of 'che commodities which we at present require to import; from foreign countries. The first step in this covxse of development must be to cheapen the internal communications. The proportion of produce paid to the Government as rent has often to be left to rot upon the ground. The energies of the country, indeed, are para lysed by the existing difficulties of locomotion, since there is no inducement to raise produce for which, from the ex pense of transport, a remunerative market cannot be ob tained. To alleviate the difficulties of internal transport in India several railways have of late years been constructed in that country. Colonel Cotton, however, maintains that although railways are in many situations important aids to internal communication, that the bulk of the traffic in Indian produce must be carried on by means of the great rivers, as in America and other extensive tracts of country, inasmuch as it is only by water communication that the necessary cheapness of transport for rough and bulky articles—such as agricultural produce for the most part is —can be obtained. Railways in India will be useful for the transmission of passengers and of light, expensive, and perishable articles, for which rapidity of transmission is important. But water conveyance can alone insure suffi cient cheapness of locomotion to bring the wheat, sugar, cotton, and other agricultural produce from the heart of a great country like India to our shores, and by establishing steam navigation of a suitable character upon the rivers this object would be at once attained. At present the boats navigating the rivers of India have to be dragged by manual labour upwards against the stream ; but by the use of steam this heavy expense and feeble process will be exchanged for the cheapness and efficiency due to the use of that power, and the whole heart of the country will be effectually opened up. Such, then, are the main conclusions of Colonel Cotton upon this subject, and their soundness has been manifested by adequate experiment. Already has steam navigation been established upon several of the rivers of India with very advantageous results. The last dividend of the Ganges Steam Navigation Company was at the rate of 48 per cent. per annum, and the last return of a navigation company on the Godavery was at the rate of 55 per cent. per an num. These companies, however, are totally unable to fill the immense field which India presents for river navi gation of a profitable character ; and some of the support ers of those undertakings, and other persons practically acquainted with the subject, have associated themselves to establish an English company, which, by the use of an adequate capital, and by calling in the.aid of European science to aid Indian experience in the wide introduction of steam navigation of the moat suitable character, will, it may fairly be hoped, succeed in opening up the communi cations of India in an efficient manner, to the great advan tage of that country, at the same time that it insures for its shareholders returns of a still more remunerative cha racter than any which have been already obtained. I have long given to the subject my carefal attention ; and from my personal examinations in India, and my cognisance of the capabilities of steam navigation in other parts of the world, I foresaw and predicted that it would prove largely remunerative to persons embarking in it. The experiment has now been tried ; the result has been successful--not, I must say, beyond what I expected, but beyond what I con fessed; and now the problem is to occupy the field in an effectual manner, as the merits of the undertaking and the magnitude of the field equally justify and demand. I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient ser vant, JOHN BOURNE. REDUCTION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY. We hear there is to be no more recruiting for the next-three years, and this negative measure would in a few years more reduce the army by 100,000 or 110,000 men. It is also said that there will be a great reduction in the actual existing strength, by the diminution of the strength of companies and the disbanding of one battalion of each regiment. If this be true the Russian army will in a short time be less by 200,000 men the complement as signed to it by, official documents before the war. DIINKELD, Sept. IG.—The Marquis of Lansdowne, K.G., arrived at Birnana Hotel on Tuesday afternoon, and proceeded northward, on his way to Dunrobin Castle, on Wednesday, to pay a ♦isit to his Grace the Duke of Sutherland. The noble marquis was in excel lent health and spirits. ROYAL BRITISH BANK.—A. body of the shareholders yesterday had an interview with the directors of the Royal British Bank to ascertain the result of the inves tigation into their accounts, and it appears that the liabilities of the bank will be about 540,0001., and the assets about 340,0001. The directors have resolved that the remaining 501. per share shall be at once called up. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin, of the 16th inst., pub ishes a Royal decree of amnesty, with the follow ng preamble : "Report, addressed to the King by the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, Grace and Justice, at the audience of the 7th inst. : " Sire,—Oae" of the - first acts by which the reign of your Majesty was inaugurated was an act of sovereign clemency. The Royal decree of the Bth April, 1849, amnestying the persons implicated in the insurrec tionary movements, which occurred that year, at Genoa, was a-presage of the mutual affection and admirable union between the King and the nation, which has distinguished your reign. Political necessity did not allow that Sovereign benefit to be extended. Nevertheless, and in order that too rigourous an inter pretation should not be given to the Royal decree, another decree was issued on the 26th of May fol lowing, declaring that the amnesty extended to all those who bad committed political offences, even out of Genoa, and to the authors and accomplices of the movements of Lerico, Recco, and Chiavari. All those excluded from the amnesty emigrated to foreign countries, and shortly afterwards the Court of Ap peals of Genoa pronounced a condemnation against the contumacious. Several among them petitioned the throne for pardon, but the generous disposition of your Majesty's heart was paralysed by a doubt as to the legality of the position of the petitioners. The Council of State was consulted on the subject; and all the sections of that body, together with several of the most distinguished and respectable members of the judiciary department, unani mously replied to the Crown, that, if amnesties can be granted to do away with effect of judicial sentences, and even to cancel them, individual pardons cannot be granted to oontumacious persons visited with crimi nal condemnations. In order, however, to reconcil e the imperioui exigencies of legality with one of the most precicots prerogatives of the Crown, which em powers the Sovereign to do away by a general par• don the effects of condemnations for acts, the painful recollection of which may be said to have been ob literated by time, and to comply with the intentions already manifested to me by your Majesty, I have the honour to submit to the Royal sanction the decree, in virtue of which the amnesty granted by the decrees of the Bth of April and 26th of May, 1849, is extended to those who bad been excluded from its benefit. "VICTOR EMMANUEL 11., &c." " On the proposition of our Keeper of the Seals, and after consulting the Council of State and our Coun cil of Ministers, I have decreed— " g The amnesty granted by our decrees of the Bth April and 26th May, 1849, on the occasion of the politi cal movements which took place that year at Genoa, is extended to all the persons who• bad been excluded from it by the first of those decrees.—Given at Turin on the 7th September, 1856. (Signed) " VICTOR EMMANUEL. (Countersigned) " DE FORESTA." A letter from Alexandria, of the 13th inst., an nounces that the Russian envoy, Count de Stackel berg, had visited that citadel, accompanied by the Governor-General of the Military Division. NAPLES. A letter from Vienna of the 11th states that the demands of the Western Powers addressed to the King of the Two`Sicilies comprised a general am nesty, including Poerio and Settembrini, and that the King, although he objects to a general amnesty, has consented to grant several individual pardons, and will also set Poerio and Settembrini at liberty as soon as the agitation caused by the pamphlets shall have subsided. DENMARK. Another letter from Vienna, in the National Gazette, of Berlin, says :—" Austria and Prussia have, it is affirmed, come to au understanding as to the following steps to be taken with regard to Denmark—The question relative to the Duchies will be brought before the Germanic Diet by the two powers, and negotiations will be opened by them simultaneously at Copenhagen. The Prus sian iepresentati've will take the initiative at Frankfort. These measures will be carried into effect in the course of the present autumn." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 14th contain nothing of political interest. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid announced the promulgation of the consti tution of 1845, accompanied by an " additional act" making certain modifications in it. A Madrid letter gives the following account of these modifi cations : "In a reply to the 'Queen, the ministers labour to show that, by the convocation and election of the Con stituent Cortes in 1854, the Senate which then existed was legally dissolved, and that consequently the revival of the constitution at that time in force does not revive the Senate. A new Senate mast therefore be formed, and they propose that, as the number of the old one, 350, was excessive, the new one shall consist at the begin ning of only 140 members, but that the Queen shall have the power of increasing the number. They propose that the senators shall, as in the dissolved Senate, be nominated for life ; also that they shall be chosen from the high dignitaries of the church, diplomacy, justice, and administration, from the chiefs of the army, and from the most remarkable men of the constitutional parties, and that the- choice shall so be made as not to exclude moderate rrogressists.* An abusive employme n t having been made by previous governments of the privi lege of creating senators, the ministers propose that nomi nations shall henceforth nolaolnigoeurlybetamkeadpelaboye during'batc the 'batches,' and that, moreover, they shall session of the Cortes, so that t he y m ay be controlled by the opinion of Parliament. The 'additional act' further proposes that the Cortes shall assemble every year, and that their session sh all las t at least four months,' but that the Crown shall have the power to prorogue and dissolve them, su b j ect, ho wever, to the condition of their sitting the four months. With respect to the organisation of municipalities and provincial council., the Ministers represent that the constitution of 1837 gave these bodies too much power, and that they made an undue use of it, but that the constitution of 1845, on the other hand, deprived them of almost all their power and placed them under the domination of the Govern ment. The 'additional act,' accordingly, contains ' pro visions for avoiding these two extremes, and one of the most important of them i s that electors shall freely choose a list of several p ersons for mayor, and that the ofm Governmentayors is shall t s te e r l e o c f t onegre ofgreat ra gravity them.ty The Spain,and i nomination t was for having t rans f erred it from vi the people to the Government that the revolution of 1840 against Queen Christina took' place. As regards the press, the addi tional act' declares that the principle to b e a d o pt e d m ust b e to guarantee to journalists their independence and dig nity, but, at the same time, to prevent them from com mitting abuses, and especially from attacking the in violability of the Crown, and the legitimate exercise of the authority of the government ; but the act leave matters of detail to be settled by a Si lecial law." The Austrian Gazette says :—"We learn from good authority that the directors o f the Credit In• stitution have authorised preparatm :v measures for promptly opening branch establigl iments, par ticularly in Hungary ; for making odvances on merchandise ; for forming an insuranct3 office, and for taking into consideration all the p. xoposi ti ons having for object to found industrial Ostablish ments, working of mines, and manufao.;ories for the construction of machines." A letter from Galatz says :—" The ilushian government appears to have the intention o f giving more importance to its consular agency at Braila, and the vice-consul has accordingly been p rovided with the assistance of a vice-chancellor. European governments, generally speaking, are beginning to recognise the importance of the port of Braila : those of Belgium and Holland have xecently estab' lished consulates there." It appears certain that the Emperor of Austria (says a Paris letter in the /ndependance 4)f Brus sels) will extend his visit in Italy as far as Rome. The Milan journals themselves have given this news, and add that the Austrian Ambassador at Rome is causing his palace to be decorated for his Majesty's reception. It is to be presum.ed that the King of Naples will seize the oppomunity of visiting the Papal States in order to have ;111 inter view with the Emperor." An official bulletin of the 13th states that the Duchess of Parma is still labouring under an acute quinsey, but that since the fifth day a perceptible improvement has taken place.
