We are rejoiced to observe that a public demonstra tion is at length being made in this country in favour of a most distinguished public servant—for in that light we must ever consider Lieutenant WAGHORN — whose in estimable exertions in marvellously abridging the period men , pied in communicati ng b e t ween E ng land and India, and. indeed, all the coasts of South-Eastern Asia ought a, it to have remeire d untilthis day unacknowledged by cigi..ti and tatvble token of the respect of his jipatr i,,,s. The advertisement we have published in our columns, heal the Provisional Committee for the management of the business connected with th e pro poecd " Testimonial," succinctly recapitulates the pro gress, nature, and singularly suocessful results of Lieut. WacuonN's efforts in establishing our existing overland communication between Great Britain with India and China, by way of Eglpt, and sufficiently indicates, by simply adverting to, " ILe beuefits it has conferred on all 'whose who have political, social, or Cifiatnercial relations with the East." These benefits it ie surely very fitting that a mighty, commercial, and opulent community like ours should compensate by some pecuniary reward. Although such services might well be left to plead their own cause with in enlightened public, it is highly pro per that we should remember at what sacrifices to the party rendering them they have been achieved. Lieut. WAGRORN ? in prosecuting his boldly conceived scheme, TEE SUN, LONDON, IVIONDAi f 47ENING, AUGUST 11, 18451 with that characteristic energy and absorbing constancy of purpose, without which it never could have been car ried out into practical working, must be considered to have sacrificed his prospects of professional advancement. On the other hand, in how vast a degree has the short ened route, in the opening of which he is truly described as having been the " pioneer," advanced, multiplied, and improved the resources:of those to whose Indian and Chi • nese connexions so vast and almost miraculous a deve lopment has thus been given ! The Committee remark, with equal truth and impressiveness, that _by some " it may be assumed that a national reward is always be stowed, in one shape or other, upon those generous spirits who devote successfully the energies of their lives to ob jects of great public utility ; but, unfortunately, it too often happens that the public gratitude is not sufficiently aroused till the grave has closed over the public benefactor." It is delightful to think that the case of Mr. WAGHORN will, now, not be added to that long list of great inven tors, great discoverers, and most meritorious public ser vants to whom contemporary gratitude has been so shamefully wanting at different epochs of our history. The pen of Robertson would have honoured, with a noble record, the name of that Englishman, to whom the glory was reserved of restoring the land journey and maritime route of the old Venetian traders to the East, in combination with the most perfectly organized admi nistration of that new power in navigation, the applica tion of which is the most signal glory of the nineteenth century. In the first rank of those who have brought together the remotest parts of the two hemispheres, for all purposes of intercommunication, and by that means of civilization, knowledge, refinement, morals, and hu manity, Lieut. WAGHORN will assuredly assume, with posterity, a prominent position. In justice to the en lightened spirit of the present age, let his memory de scend to another, unconnected with any dishonouring associations of national neglect and unrequited devotion. We speak of this kind of approximation of two hemis pheres advisedly : and we may here quote another pas sage from the address or memoranaum of the Committee to this very point.—" Not only England but even Ame rica participate in the advantages which Mr. WAGHORN'S services have secured, and therefore owe an acknowledg ment to the individual who first stepped forth, in the manner of a forlorn hope, to open a path which all men, now, safely tread." This is strictly true. In a few words, let us thus concentrate the grand results of his spirited and unremitting labours in bringing the noblest dependencies which ever owned the dominion of the British sceptre within a distance now measured by the lapse of a few days instead of many weeks. "Before this zealous and enterprising individual stepped forth to devote himself to a task of such magnitude, no part of India could be reached in less than four months. The mails from Bombay now reach England in thirty-four days ; and the regularity with which the overland com munication is now conducted, is the practical demonstra tion of his original views on this subject." Honour, then, to Mr. WAGHORN; and we respectfully entreat at the hands of the enlightened British public a prompt and liberal response to an appeal which has the sanction and guarantee of individuals so distinguished by the rank they occupy, the public stations they have filled, or the princely mercantile establishments they re present, as those which grace the list of the Committee. Six Earls and four other Peers unite with, we know not how many, Members of Parliament, and of the first among the merchants and bankers of Europe, to com mend this application in favour of Mr. WAGHORN to the beneficial consideration of this country, and, we might say, of the civilised world entertaining relations of commerce with India. If Mr. WAGHORN needed one additional claim on the gratitude of the great family of commercial nations, he would have established it, in our opinion, by his share in the memorable work of eliciting from MEHEMET Au, the noble Pacha of Egypt, under circumstances of peculiar political irritation and annoy ance, that sacred and unaltered respect for treaties securing the facilities of postal and mercantile cQm munications between Asia and Europe, which the Go vernments of the oldest-established monarchies of Christendom may contemplate with some feelings of conscious shame, or more wisely determine Govern ments to emulate in future. We understand that the following is a substantially correct account of the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the London and York sub scription contract, which is not yet printed. In the following 35 cases, in which Mr. HENRY BRUCE, the petitioner, alleged that the names, descriptions, or places of abode were fictitious and false, the Committee have come to the resolutions appended to each name:— Ince, W. H., gentleman, Crooms-hill, Greenwich—[Neither fictitious nor false.] Clarke, N. N., gentleman, tvi, Jermyn-streer—Oeitner heti- tious nor false.] Dart, P.

R., chronometer maker, Charing-cross—[Fic titious and false.] Roberts, Isabella, widow, Steukly, Bucks—[Neither fictitious nor false.] Vickers, Judith, widow, Nuneaton, Warwickshire; Turner, E. M., widow, Bristol—[These two cases withdrawn by the petitioner without evidence called.] Cox, 8., accountant, 7, Dyer's-buildings, Holborn—Neither fictitious nor false; but Mr. Cox signed for some other party, whose name he declined to give.] In the following thirty cases, in which the petitioner alleged that the parties were " from their circumstances and station in life," utterly irresponsible, and unable to pay the several sums subscribed by them, the Committee have re ported as follows in each case : Monday, A., warehouseman, Elcom-terrace, Islington—[Al legation unfounded.] J., gentleman, Tibberton-square—[Case withd rawn Huston, by the petitioner without any evidence called. I Harryson, G., Eden-grove, Holloway—[Allegation un- founded.] Nottage, G.

S., gentleman, 48, Moorgate-street—[Allegation not sustained ; but Mr. Barnes, by his own admission, signed for some one else, and is unable from his own means to pay the whole sum which lie has subscribed.l Guernsey, S., gentleman, Angel-court, Throgmorton-street —[Allegation founded.] Pitman, R. 8., gentleman, 5, Powis-place, Great Ormond- street—[Allegation unfounded.] Wynne, T. W., gentleman, Devonshire-place—[Allegation withdrawn without any evidence called.] Tweddale, T., gentleman, St. Mary-square, Kennington — [Allegation founded.] Eagle, E., accountant, Surrey-grove Kent-road ; Bi yan, H. S. Esq., 22, Clarence-place, Camberwell—[Allegations withdrawn without any evidence called.] Green, Thomas, share agent, 16, Old Broad-street—[Allega tion unfounded.] Auber, James, gentleman, Union-street, Whitechapel-road ; Marillier, Frederick John, gentleman, Walbrook-buildings • ' —[Allegations withdrawn without any evidence called. j William Prosser, the younger, gentleman, 13, Windsor- ~:~- terrace, Pimlico; Hadley, George, gentleman, Sloane terrace, Sloane-street—[Allegations without foundation.] llaslewood, Rev. F. F., Rainharn, Sittingbourne—[Allega -1 !Con withdrawn without any evidence called.] Mortimer, Roger, stockbroker, 7, Shcrter's-court—[No reso lution.] Felder, Edward, Esq., Ladbrooke-place, Notting-hill ; Turner, B. 8., gentleman, 3, Stepney-green—[Allegations . ._, drawn without any evidence called.] Hawkins, Thomas, 26, Thames-street—[Allegations not sus stained; but Mr. Hawkins, by his own admission, has signed for another party, and is unable out of his own means to pay the whole sum for which he has subscribed.] Shotter, John, 13, Thames-street—[Allegation without foundation.] French, William, 12, Thames-street—[Allegation not sus- tained ; but ➢ir.

R., solicitor, 48, Lincoln's Inn-fields—[Allega tion withdrawn without any evidence called.] Fenn, George, 1, Staple's Inn ; West, James, 5, Bedford-street, Bedford-row—[Allegations withdrawn without any evi dence called. ] _ _ It will thus be seen that only six out of the sixty-five specific charges made by Mr. BRUCE have been sus tained before the Committee ; that in some otl.ers the Committee have come to special resolutions, pointing out some irregularity of proceeding ; that three cases have not been decided by them ; but that in forty-nine cases uut of the sixty-five the petitioner's allegations have either been withdrawn without the production of any evidence, or have been quashed. The Committee then go on to say that they have not had time to go into the inquiry opened out by the fol lowing sentence of Mr. Bauces petition :—" That your petitioner, by his agents, is still further pursuing his inquiry into the bond fides and responsibility of the said subscription-list ; and that your petitioner does not doubt that he shall discover numerous other instances of similar fraud besides those herein specifically alleged—" but they are of opinion, from the character of the evi dence which they have heard, that there is no ground for recommending any further investigation. They add, that in the few cases which the petitioner substantiated, or partly supported, much ofj the evidence was collected after the presentation of the petition ; and, on the whole case, they are of opinion that Mr. BRUCE did not, in one instance, adopt the most ordinary means of inquiry before he made his serious charges against so many individuals, and that the petition was presented with the view of defeating the London and York Bill, and promoting the private interest of the Cambridge and Lincoln Company, and that Mr. BRUCE has been guilty of a great abuse of the right of petitioning. The Committee consisted of the following nine Mem• bers:—Mr. IlewEs (Chairman), Mr. BECKET DENISON, Mr. B. BARING, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. WARBURTON, Mr. B. Escorr, Mr. ASTELL, Lord CLIVE, and Mr. CrirtisTlE. We understand that all the resolutions were passed by majorities of six to two, or seven to one, the minority being generally composed of Mr. WARBURTON and Mr. ESCOTT, and sometimes Mr. WARBURTON alone- We understand that some light was thrown, in the course of the inquiry, on the character of the sub scription-list of the Cambridge and Lincoln Company, the aggressive parties. Not only had Mr. BRUCE, the petitioner, signed his place of business in the City ; as his place of abode, in the Cambridge and Lincoln list —a proceeding which he charges as false and fictitious ap,ainst many of the subscribers of the London and York Company—but Mr. THOMAS HAWKINS, one of the London and York subscribers, who is charged with being utterly irresponsible, was discovered to be a shareholder of the Cambridge and Lincoln Company ; and a ficti tious address, 14, Darlington-place, charged in Mr. I3RL-cE's petition, was found also to occur in the Cam bridge and Lincoln. Mr. SHACKELL. the Charter- House pensioler, was found to be as large a subscriber to the Direct Northern as to the London and York. The article which we reprinted from the Sentinel in our paper of Saturday, has a scope of incidental applica tion about it which reaches far beyond the latitude of Quebec—although for that meridian it was especially calculated. The reasoning so powerfully enforced to demonstrate the possibility of re-establishing a half destroyed city without gold, is at least equally cogent to show how the most flourishing of cities may be ruined by gold. Indeed, the preponderance of evidence and argument is now so overwhelming to prove the cardinal error and incalculable mischief of the monetary system, established by the Bill of 1819, that Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, were he unbiassed by considerations of the most direct personal interest in now upholding, as he then was in propounding it, would honestly, and with the frankness or au 1 ugltsh gentleman, acicnowiedge and deplore, publicly, the ruinous results it has entailed upon his country. We ourselves heard his excellent father declare in Parliament his misgivings that the tenacity with which his son, the present Premier, forced through the Legislature the statutable recognition and establish. ment of his gold standard of value at the then, and thenceforward, Mint price of that metal, would be attributed by the world at large to interested motives. The venerable Baronet declared at the same time that he himself absolutely exonerated the Right lion. Secre- tary of that day from any such imputation. All our respect for the first Sir RoneaT—all our concurrence in his expressions of natural astonishment and remon strance that the best and m ‘st practical authorities among the Directors of the Bank of England, and the more eminent of the London merchants, had not been even examined by the Committee which reported the currency resolutions afterwards moved by his son—can not and never could lead us to the same verdict of ac • quittal which parental kindness so readily returned at the time But all that we desire to say at any time on the vital subject regards the measure, not the man. It was a measure with this:original sin indelibly stamped upon its enactment from the first to the last ; namely, that it was a stupendous boon to all realised money capital, at a most iniquitous cost to all productive industry in England. It has not diminished the National Debt: It has largely diminished to the vast majority of those who pay the bulk of the interest on that debt the means of paying their contributions to that payment. It has not made bread cheap. It has lowered wages. It has not improved prices. It has multiplied production. The prices of commodities not vastly over-excised, or over taxed have greatly fallen. The power of consumption has declined in a still greater ratio. The burden of taxation has been shifted rather than removed. How shifted? In a manner the precise converse of that which would have followed under the old monetary system that was superseded by the legislation of 1819, and is now under process of extinction by the destructive " com plement" of 1844. That is to say, that whereas be tween 1797 and 1819 taxes were professedly designed and carefully adapted to be borne by the competent or the rich consumer; ever since the prices of commodities were determined by their natural or gold standard— irrespectively of the element of taxation entering into their production—more than one-half of the whole taxa tion (especially on excisable articles) annually raised to defray the interest of the debt and the charge of the publie services, is borne by the industrial community whose labour is the first source of our sustained production, under the grievously enhanced disability of deteriorated wages. In a word, it would be ridiculous to require of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and those who have been deluded into the support of his currency views, to make out any affir mative plea in their favour. The only issue that can be raised upon them is a negative one ; and a fearful re sponsibility is his, after deranging the whole circulation of the country, violating contracts, enhancing debts, mortgages, and liabilities, displacing settlements, and convulsing private credit and public confidence through out the length and breadth of the land ; a fearful respon sibility is his, for what his boasted panacea has not done. His nostrum—his auram poilbile—which he insisted on forcing down the throat of the country (his unhappy patient), has proved a metallic belladonna. The Con stitution, which he was pleased to pronounce somewhat too elastic and vivacious, his fatal sedatives have already afflicted with incipient paralysis. Is there anything like an encouraging feature about the present relations of the country to the prospects of the approaching harvest, and the operation of the esta blished standard of currency in gold at the Mint—not at the market price ? We shall be too happy, too sincerely rejoiced, to find that the present superabundance of wet and uncertain weather gives place to a few weeks of a warm, settled, and bright season, sufficient for getting in the cereal crops that have for some time past stood so much in need of that genial encouragement. But what if the present weather continue long enough to make our home harvest a failure as to quality or quantity—both or either ? We must import wheat from abroad. Afew millions of quarters of foreign grain must be paid for in a few millions of gold sovereigns ; for nothing is more certain, than that the foreign grower or shipper will not take your manufactures in return for his corn by choice• If the market price of gold at Bremen, at Hamburgh, at Dantzie, be, as it has been for some time past, dearer than the Act of Parliament price in London, it is clear he can do nothing better than realise his sales in gold, here : and gold he will have. What is to supply the place of the gold which will flow out of the country, as the foreign corn flows in ? The coffers of the Bank of England ? Why, their Weekly Return, of Saturday last, shows, in round numbers, a stock, less by more than a million than it was a week or so before. Every 1001. which oozes through the doors of their btallion collars In payment of demands on account of corn purchases, may provoke a home demand of twice the amount, from caprice, fear, fancy, or speculation. Tile sapient scheme which fixes the Mint or legal Lander value of gold at a specific rate, leaves everybody at full liberty to uraw it out of the Bank in payment of their own paper, and carry it into the market next door for sale at 20, 40, 100 per cent. premium, as it may happen. Commercial panic may then tread with giant strides upon the heels of a metallic scarcity ;—the day of atonement — that is the day of settling —for railway and joint stock gambling operations may come upon us " like a thief in the dark"_inercantile credit, public confidence, all money transactions, determinable contracts, liabilities of every kind, may be precipitated, convulsed, over whelmed. Legitimate trading and fraudulent specula tion may be swallowed up in the same common ruin of real capital and its unreal representative. Enterprise may be permanently crippled—credit annihilated—secu rities reduced to the value of the paper or the parchment on which they have been engrossed. The horrors of 1825 may be re-enacted. Our commercial pre-eminence may be tumbled down in headlong ruin, like some bright planet suddenly dashed from its orbit and extinguished— and in spite of all this, we can imagine Sir ROBERT at tempting once snore to ridicule the authority of Mr. ALIsoN, and perpetrate those sorry failures which, in the pseudo-currency of his own Tamworth mint, pass for jokes—on the apprehensions of such practical authorities as Mr. SPOONER or Mr. ATTWOOD Swiss papers of a late date have art ived. '1 he Jesuit question was discussed in the Diet at Zurich on the 4th and sth. On the sth, a division took place, the result of which is, that the question remains in statu quo, neither patty having obtained the required majority of twelve. The votes were given in the following manner :-- 1. Not to enter at present on the question, or, in other words, the order of the day—Uri, Unterwald, Zug, Valais, Neufcha tel, Appenzell (Inner). Bale city, Friburg, Schwitz, Lucerne (eight whole States and two half one s ). 2. To consider the affair as federal--Berne, Soleure, Schaff hausen, vArgau, Tessino, Vaud, Thurg au , G r i sons , Ap penze ll (Outer), Bale.country, Glaris, Zurich (ten whole States and two half ones). 3. To call on Lucerne amicably, looking at its directorial position, not to proceed with invitation to the Jesuits -Geneva Tessin() (two States), Grisons not voting for or against it. 4. To call on the States harbouring the Jesuits (Friburg, Valais, and Schwitz), to send them away : Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell (Outer), (two whole States and a half one), Zurich, Schaffhausen, Hans, and Tessino not voting either way. 5. To summon Lucerne to renounce calling in the Jesuits : —Berne, Tessino, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell (Outer), Glaris, Zurich (six whole States and one half one), Vaud, Schaffhausen, Soleure, and Argau not voting either way. 6. Expulsion of the Jesuits from the whole of Switzerland : —The same ten States and two half ones, named above, declare the question to be federal. 7. Expulsion of the Jesuits by every means :—Berns, So leure, Schaffhausen, Argau, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell ( Outer), Bale country (six whole States and two half ones), Zurich, and Glaris not voting either way. 8. To interdict for the future the introduction of the Jesuits into a Swiss canton :—The same ten States and two half ones which considered the question as federal. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. . _ The visit of Queen VICTORIA to the King of Pnussii, on the banks of the Rhine, appears to be ex citing great attention amongst Frerch politicians. "All the members of the corps diplomatique of Frank fort," says La France, "are at their post, in order to attend the princely and political meetings about to take place on the banks of the Rhine. M. BeLow, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Prussia, has arrived at Coblentz, and repeatedly transacted business with the King of PRUSSIA at the Chateaux of Stolzenfels and Coblentz. Prince METTERNICH has already had a long conference with King FREDERICK WILLIAM IV. The chateau of Stolzenfels, not being sufficiently capacious to accommo date the great number of distinguished personages expected there, apartments have been engaged in the neighbour-. hood. The Prince of PRUSSIA, the heir to the Crown, who, in every important circumstance is consulted by his brother, the reigning King, has established his re sidence within a short distance of the royal chateau. In the conferences which are to be held there, a final decision will be adopted with regard to the Spanish question, and all those who flatter themselves that Austria will entertain a different view of the question from that taken by Prussia will be sadly disappointed. The Archduke FREDERICK of Austria has left Vienna for Coburg, to compliment QUEEN VICTORIA on her ar rival. The sojourn of her MAJESTY in the Chateau of Stolzenfels will not cxtund beyond three days, and she will afterwards make excursions in the neighbourhood. It is not true that the Marquis of DALMATIA, Minister of France, is to repair from Berlin to the banks of the Rhine, since that diplomatist is now on leave of absence and is replaced in the Prussian capital by M. HERSIANN, the Secretary of Legation. M. GuazoT was desirous of an interview with the King of PRUSSIA, to adjust, in a sort of Congress, the Spanish and Swiss questions. Lord ABERDEEN, who is a partisan of the cordial understand ing with France, was expected to support the views of M. GUIZOT. But the overtures made in London and Vienna have proved unavailable. Lord ABERDEEN re plied, that the journey of Queen VICTORIA was a journey of pleasure, and the English Minister for Foreign Affairs entered into no other explanation with regard to his own voyage to Germany. Prince METTERNICH, on his side, rejected the overtures made to him, in the absence of Count FLAHAUI.T, by a French diplomatist sent on a special mission to Vienna." In the Journal des Debats of Saturday appears a long article seriously refuting an insinuation made by the Nationa', that the fire at Toulon was the work of per fide Albion. The charge made by the National is simply absurd, and M. LE REDACTEUR must have laughed heartily as he penned the paragraph, which can be re garded in no other light than as an experiment upon the credulity of the quid nuncs of the cafés It appears that nothing certain as to the origin of the fire has as yet been elicited ,by the inquiries which have been instituted. The Tozdonnais of the sth inst says : " That a galley-slave who was heard to say some days ago that the almanac of the Bagne predicted the appearance of a comet which would shortly illumine Toulon, had been arrested and placed in solitary confinement." The National has another to quoque article in reply to the comments of the English press on the massacre at Dahra. The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS and the Duke D'AUMALE visited the principal public institutions in Bordeaux on the 7th, and in the evening went to the theatre. They were received everywhere with the greatest enthusiasm. The Constitqtionnel says:— " The news of the intended arrival in France of an envoy from Morocco is confirmed. It appears that the choice of the Emperor has fallen on Sidi- Ben-Arac, Governor of Fes, one of the most distinguished men of the empire, and who has always been opposed to war with the French. He will, it is said, bear the title and functions of Extraordinary Ambassador, and visit France, as did some years back the envoys of the Shah of Persia and of Abd-el-Kader, and return immediately after wards to the Emperor to render him an aceountof his journey.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 5,000 bales, including 500 on speculation. There was no change in prices.—Shares were steady, and prices much the same. In the absence of any information of peculiar interest from the colonies, or from elsewhere, we may remark briefly upon the general state of the Railway Share Markets in this country as well as on the continent. The general feeling is that speculation has been carried up to too high a point. The dealings at Paris, at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, at Brus sels, and at Vienna, have of late been much reduced; parties in those cities connected with speculations having become somewhat frightened at the extent to which time bargains have been carried on. At the same time it must be observed, that in what may be considered the best lines of railway, a strong desire is shown to purchase. It is much to be regretted that in some of our own provincial towns the rage for speculation has not been diminished. Indeed, at Leeds, according to a priva e letter received to-day, there is every reason to believe that a system something like repudi• ation will take place—a rig equal to the pearl and coral of 1825.26 having been perpetrated there. As no doubt but few of our readers remember this notable scheme, it may be simply thus described. A company was started iu the years stated, the Directors of which com plied with the applications for shares written by respect. able people—they issued but a certain number, and then through agents purchases were made, and those who were Bears had to pay a considerable per centage to obtain the means of delivering the shares. There are some accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to day, but we do not find any late news of interest in them. The Grain Markets this morning are in a most feverish state, but the prices are on the whole rather lower. The farmers are pressing forward their stock on hand, as, notwith standing the state of the weather, the barometer is rising, and that too very steadily. The Consol Market is pretty steady at 99% for Money, and for the Account at 99. Reduced Annuities have been sold at 99% %; and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 102% %. The premium upon Exchequer-bills is 51s. and 495. South Sea Stock has fallen from 113 to 112. The prices of the Foreign Bonds have improved to-day. The Dutch Four per Cents. have touched par; the Spanish Actives, 27%; the Three per Cents., 38%; and the Portu guese Converted, 64% %. The Share Market is extremely firm to-day. A steady demand for investment is apparent. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 211 210 1 / 3 211% 210% 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 99%% 3 per Cent.

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. Since Monday last up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of English Wheat were rather above an average scale fur the time of year, while the total receipts of Oats—including the foreign importations—were moderate. Of English Barley not a single parcel came to hand, and the supplies of all other Grain were small. The quantity of Flour from our own coasts exceeded 8,000 sacks. Fresh up, rather an extensive supply of Wheat came to hand coastwise and by land carriage, especially from the county of Essex, which, added to the arrivals reported last week, and the quantity left over on this day se'nnight, formed a large supply of upwards of 13,000 quarters. As might be expected, therefore, and notwithstanding the prevailing changeable weather, and the somewhat unfavourable accounts which continue to reach us from our large Grain districts respecting the appear ance of the growing crops, buyers evinced but little inclina tion to meet the demands of the sellers; hence, the trade with nearly every description of Wheat of home produce may be considered inactive. Where parties were anxious to sell, lower rates were complied with; yet, generally speaking, the sales were conducted at last Monday's quota tions, but a clearance was not effected. Holders of foreign Wheat, the supply of which was by means large, were firm. The sales, however, were only moderate, at last week's figures. Grain under lock was steady, at full prices. The transactions in Barley—nearly the whole of which was of foreign growth—were on a limited scale, at unaltered cur rencies. The supply of Malt was limited, yet the trade with that article was in a very slugggish state, at prices about equal to those paid on this day se'nnight. The show of Oats being small, that grain moved off steadily, and last week's prices were well supported. In Beans very little was doing; but Peas and Flour were quite as dear. The Seed market was somewhat inactive.

Tke Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, and in some instances the quotations had a downward tendency. The primest sorts were disposed of at 4s 4d per 81bs. Although we bad an increased number of Sheep on offer, it was by no means large for the present season. Prime old Downs moved off steadily, at full prices; but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, at late rates. The arrival of Lambs from Leicester shire being on the increase, the Lamb trade was dull, at a reduction in value of 2d per Blbs. For Calves we had a slow demand, yet the quotations were supported.

The arrivals of slaughtered meat for these markets, from Scotland and different parts of England, during the week, have been seasonably good, but by no means extensive. The supplies killed in the metropolis having been on the increase, particularly those of Beef and Veal, the general demand rules heavy, and prices have, in some instances, a downward ten dency, while some difficulty has been experienced in effecting clearances. About 20 carcases , of foreign Beef, and 40 ditto of mutton, have sold—the former at from 2a 10d to 3s 4d, the latter, 3s 4d to 3s 10c1 per 81bs.

Of New English Potatoes the supplies are abundant, yet the demand is steady, at from 3s to 6s per cwt. WOOL MARKET. The imports of Wool into London since this day se'nnight have been very moderate. In the private contract market a full average amount of business is doing in English, as well as in Foreign and Colonial qualities, at, in every instance, full rates of currency. TALLOW. The market is brisk, and the prices on the spot, and for the autumn are very firm, and a good business for the time of year is doing on the spot, at a shade under our quotation.

The nomination is on Wednesday, and the election on Thursday. As usual, when the poll approaches, light has been got on the relative strength of parties, and the Liberals believe they have the more and better promises. The undeclared voters are comparatively not many, and not of the class who, at Cambridge and elsewhere, are brought in at the last half hour of the poll. Besides this, between seven and eight thousand non-electors are eagerly canvassing for the Liberal side, and watching for the appearance of bribery. A thousand pounds have been offered to a leading member of the Liberal Committee, not by the Tories, but by railway specula tors, to let the Liberals be in a minority the first two hours of the poll. The intended result was stated to be, that 30,0001. would be made by the rise in railway shares, which would fall again if the Liberals were ultimately successful. A ludicrous, but not unimportant, circumstance, has just occurred. The workmen in a Tory anchor manufactory, taking literally the assertion of the Tory candidate, that cheap bread means low wages, and the contrary, have represented to their employers that bread has already risen four times, and, therefore, they test the truth of the Tory doctrine by striking for more wages. Odds are offered in the public-houses that the Liberals win, and refused. TION. The prospects of the harvest incline men's minds to the side of the corn-law repealers. The clergyman at St. Thomas's has just read the prayer against " a plague of rain and waters.' THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMING HAM RAILWAY.—INQUEST ON MR. .DEAN —The i nquest on the body of the late Mr. Dean, who died in consequence of the injuries he had received from the late collision on the Bir mingham Railway, at Camden-town, was resumed this morn ing before Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Chalk Farm Tavern. Medical evidence having been given as to the cause of death, Heise, a policeman in the service of the Company, devribed the nature of the accident.. It appeared th a t t h e morning was so foggy that it was impossiiile to see the signal flag, and the luggage-train was particularly long and heavy, an d d i d not reach Camden-town until three minutes after five, instead of fifteen minutes after four, the hour at which it ought to have started from thence. There was considerable difficulty in ascertaining who was responsible for the proper starting of the luggage-train, and while inquiries were being pursued en that point, one of the jurymen suddenly taken ill, i n consequence of which the inquest was adjourned to Thursday, sla ALL CY AN OU 1. 4 01 t tit fq GOING ON THE CoNTINENT. Persons of importance being in the habit, at this sea' son of the year, of rushing to the Continent, we hays drawn up the following rules, after six trips up and down the Danube and Rhine, to enable travellers to support the character of Englishmen with that degree of prid e and gentlemanly spirit for which they are noted abroad :1 1. Write your name in large letters, with slate all address, wherever you go. For this purpose, you h au , better carry about with you a bottle of Warren's ing and a large brush, and you can then lay it on 85 thick as you please. 2. If you go into a cathedral when service is going 00, never mind talking or staring, or pointing, as much as you like ; for it stands to reason, if the people are refilly as intent on their devotions as they pretend to be, they cannot hear or see you. The best way to test this is to walk down the aisles with your hat on. 3. Always suspect you are being imposed upon. It is well known that the Innumerable small foreign coins were expressly invented to puzzle the English. To guard against giving too much, bargain for everything Y°:' have, and try to bate down every item in your bill. Recollect it is the notion of foreigners that every Eng' lishmen is stuffed full of money. The sooner you die abuse them of this notion the better. 4 Laugh at everything you do not understand , so d never fail to ridicule anything that appears strange te you. The habits of the lower class will afford Yo ll abundant entertainment, if you have the proper talent to mimic them. Their religious ceremonies you will a le° find to be an endless source of amusement. 5. Never mind what damage you do, as long as Y ° l can afford to pay for it. Your brothers and sisters aao naturally expect some remembrance of your buur, 50 not scruple to carry off a souvenir of every monument Y °it visit. A saint's finger, or a whole statue itself taken during the night from its consecrated niche in s oulo s lonely street, will convince your relations you have n ° , l forgotten them, besides affording you capital sport an healthy excitement in making the collection. 6. Recollect very few people talk English on the Con; tinent, so you may be perfectly at your ease in itheeM foreigners before their faces, and talking any ni°°l4ll, nonsense you like, in the presence of ladies, at a tau d'hote. Do not care what you say about the Govertla went of any particular state you may be visiting, ! 1 ,1 0 show your national spirit by boasting, on every post, occasion, of the superiority of England and every English. - - of 7. If . you go to a theatre, and do not know a wo r d % 5 the language of the piece:, do not hesitate to talk t h e loudly as you can, or to laugh preposterously a t t '" gibberish which it is a marrel to you anybody can orl' iierstand. 8. If foreign states will have foolish laws about pa ss ; ports, it is not to be expected that you, as a free-be r, Englishman, will tamely submit to them, so al' s)t r move about as independently as if you were in 30 0 own country. If, by a stretch of despotism, you taken up or sent back, you have your redress by ul".:,; plaining to the British Ambassador, or else by so n ° , your case to be laid before Parliament as a casus gr;;;",; to any distinguished Member of the Opposition of time being. 9. Be particular about your diet. Avoid W e re dishes ; be sure that the wines are poison, and grate 01 at everything you get. Recollect that beef-steaks so bottled porter are always kept in the smallest vin'g for the use of the English. 11 5 t 10. Swear, if you have a mind for it, at the suia provocation ; and, if a fellow is insolent, thrash him , srj o u if any one interferes, thrash him also. Recollect Y oo can indulge in any violence you please, as long as I have the means to pay for it. Thei 11. Be sure to take English servants with you. 4 5 , are useful in speaking the language, settling the :a l e and taking you to see the most remarkable sights o f d 0 country. Besides, they are so good-tempered, i'lpg pleased with everything—the eating and dri e*l na especially—that it is proverbial an English John s t i, lady's maid add materially to the comfort of a e s° nental trip. The 12. Buy something at every place you stop at. floss foreign articles are not only so much cheaper and wv t be than any you can get in England, but there is els e .i n g pleasure of looking at them, and the pride of display or e them before other people, every time your boxe s or examined at a custom-house. If you are asked to P ot anything extra for them, on the ground of duty, Woe allow every article to be confiscated than submit to imposition. leg' 13. Take all your wardrobe with you. Extr s ala gage is never charged for on the Continent, and it *tysl be very foolish to miss an important ceremony, or a invitation, for the want of a proper gown, coat, W i n , is cocked hat, pelisse, or regimentals. Y ou Y can 9 114 avoid the nuisance of having your boxes exam s b u tt' asking to see the officer on duty, and slipping s note of the country (price 35.) into his hand. dy 14. Be sure to cultivate your moustachios the Yeri tr ofi you start for the Continent, and allow your hair to 101 down your back. Buy a dialogue-book, and if Y eil i s i the it attentively all the way up the Rhine, and at e' reit el t i, places you visit, you will be able by the time yl; 0 0?
