THE SUN, 14 ? • • V a • . h* . }4 • • I E ik • ' - ' P,R(._UT • ktr ,, , tc ,, : • Obi taina nwo , LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 1851. Now that the session has terminated, that the legislators, hereditary or elective, have departed in all directions, we desire to express our anxious hope that the politico-religious excitement that has for some time prevailed may be suffered to subside. Since the public attention was first directed to the "Papal aggression," and the gross invasion of the undoubted prerogative of the British SOVEREIGN and the cherished independence of the British nation, all other questions have been comparatively disregarded. The wanton insult thus reck lessly inflicted, for the time being, swallowed up all minor differences. All classes, from the Peer to the peasant, were equally moved, all were animated by a like feeling to repel the wilful outrage. The Government necessarily took up the case, necessarily we say, for any Ministry that endeavoured to evade the subject would have been forthwith hurled from place and power amid the hisses and denunciations of the indignant people. They did so temperately but efficiently. Contented with defending their own posi tion, they did not attempt to carry the war into the enemies' camp, or to procure the restoration of reli gious tests or penal laws. This laudable moderation should have excited the gratitude of the Roman Catholic party ; but, unfortunately, a very different view was taken of the subject. A course the most unwise and impolitic was adopted by the party who have been styled " the Brigade," " the Spartan band," and a variety of other soubriquets. In place of regarding the matter in its proper light, they en deavoured to impede all legislation, to produce the greatest confusion in every quarter. Like the Ishmaelites, their hands were against all men, and they were quite prepared to vote black white, or white black, if it could annoy or injure the Minister. Nay, they carried this amiable doctrine to such an extremity, that rather than support the Government in any point, they withdrew from the House pointedly and offensively, showing a pre arranged organization, when the division was about to be taken on the proposition of Sir FREDERICK TRESIGER. It was to this sagacious and well-de vised system of strategy that the increased stringency of the measure should be attributed, and if a " com mon informer" should disturb the slumbers of one of the prelates by dragging him into court, to account for his communications with the Vatican, the Right Rev. Gentleman may thank those faithful sons of the Church—" the brass band"—for, the annoyance and inconvenience to which he may be subjected. Despite their exertions, however, the measure was carried through both Houses by decisive and over whelming majorities. It has become the law of the land, and nothing that they can do can possibly alter its provisions or repair the mischief they have effected Might not it be expedient to let the subject drop into oblivion, and not to keep the public attention perpe tually on the strain . ? The Catholic Defence,Associa tion may appear a very brilliant society to those "one-eyed men "—as our respected friend and cor respondent, Mr. RIGBY Wasors used to designate the short-sighted individuals who took erroneous and distorted views on any political question—but it may possibly give occasion for the creation of a Protestant Defence Association, likewise, in which rather unpalatable topics may be discussed. For instance, the respective degrees of toleration, the full and free permission to carry on all their religious rites and ceremonies without let or hindrance, allowed to Roman Catholics in this Protestant country, may possibly be contrasted with the ungracious denial of the Romish authorities of the privilege of establishing a place for Protestant worship in Rome. St. George's Cathedral may be compared with the " granary" out side the walls of " the Eternal City," or the com plaisance with which the erection of the contem plated churches of St. Patrick and St. Peter are regarded in the British metropolis, with the steadfast refusal of the PONTIFF to sanction the erec tion of even the most humble temple in Rome in which the tenets of the Church of England may bE advocated. We do not desire to adopt measures of retaliation. It is not because others are the slaves of prejudice that we would also lend our assistance to bigots, to enable them to carry their unsound opinions into practical operation. If once the tide of religious dis cord surmounts the banks within which it has been restrained, it is impossible to calculate within what limits it may subsequently be re strained, or what amount of mischief may be occasioned. GOD forbid that the fiend should be un loosed on the British soil. We, at least, shall do all to prevent this formidable evil ; but if the contest be forced upon us ; if no exertions of ours can avoid the painful alternative ; if we must be oppressors or op pressed—persecutors or persecuted, we must only once more buckle on our armour, and raise our an cient war-cry, " GOD, defend the right." Although we may deprecate, we do not dread the result. The intelligence from Cuba, received by the Ame rican mail, which arrived yesterday, is of a nature to create, if not alarm, at least anxiety. It appears, according to an official proclamation, issued by the Government of the Havannah on the 18th ult., that in the neighbourhood of Peurto Principe, a town containing a population of upwards of 35,000 souls, and situated in the central department of the island, there had been two attempts at insurrection. In both instances the insurgents were defeated and dispersed, and so rapid was their flight that they left behind them on the field their arms and ammunition. None of the inhabitants, white or coloured, ap pear to have joined in this revolutionary movement, and there would be no occasion even for anxiety, were it not for the evident connexion of this move ' ment with the designs of certain lawless ma rauders who have located themselves in Texte. and the other recently annexed States of the American Union, who are land-stealers because they are slave-breeders, and who have determined by fraud or force to gain possession of Cuba in order to secure a market there for American -raised slaves. It appear, that the recent attempt at insurrection in the neigh bourhood of Puerto Principe was exclusively the work of agents from the United States. Chief in command of the insurgents were Don JOA/4,111/44 AGUERRO Y SANCHEZ and Don WALDO Y JUAN An- TEAGA, both of whom had recently arrived from the United States, and in the official proclamation of the 18th July the Governor-General of Cuba attributes the outbreak to " the efforts of some mutinous young men, pushed by the !erniasaries recently arrived from the United States." Although we are not inclined to attach overdue weight to the asser tions of Spanish ministers, generals, or governors, yet we cannot avoid coming to the conclusion that in the present instance the assertions of the Governor- General of Cuba are well grounded. Those American journals which are the organs of the Cuba annexers all endeavour to exaggerate the importance of the outbreak, and some of them go so far as to announce that the Spanish troops have th emse l v es joined the insurgents, an assertion the falseho o d o f which is self-evident to all those who understand any thing of Spain and her colonies, but which is well calculated to induce ignorant and profligate young men, to whom con tinuous and honest industry is hateful, and who are fond of a life of adventure, to join the band of pirates now organizing in Florida for the invasion of Cuba. We entirely acquit the Government of the United States, not only of all participation in, but of all con nivance at, this projected piracy. We believe that the Federal Government is exerting itself to the utmost of its power, and in all sincerity, to prevent this invasion and to arrest these marau ders ; b u t im potent the we also know ho Executives ofthe Nv wak •e and United States and always must be, for the repression of such attempts ; and whe n we remember that the an nexation of Texas, repudi a t e d as a dishonest act by one PRESIDENT, was made by hi s successor the step ping-stone to power, and th a t hi s successor, in order not to be distanced in the r ace for popularity, embarked in a war with Nalco as wicked and as un. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1851. justifiable as it was successful, we confess that we en tertain fears, that unless some decided steps be taken by the Spanish Government itself, the day is not far distant when the Queen of the Antilles will cease to hold allegiance to Spain. That the Spanish Govern ment is really desirous of introducing reforms and improvements into the administration of the govern ment of Cuba we sincerely believe; but there is one great reform—one great act of justice—to be done, which would 'secure to her for ever her em pire over Cubs, and enable her to laugh to scorn all the efforts of the lawless marauders of the Southern States. Their object in seeking to annex Cuba is to obtain a preponderance in the Legislature for the southern slave states—Cuba, a slave state, would be to them invaluable; Cuba, a free state, would be by them refused admission into the Union. The true, the just, and the most economic policy for Spain, therefore, is to emancipate the slaves, and thus to secure to herself the support of the 041,670 blacks who at present inhabit the island of Cuba, and who, while defending their own liberty against the man•stealer, would at the same time de fend the cause of Spanish right against the land stealer. Accounts from Ireland once more contain the painful intelligence of the appearance of the potato disease in that unhappy land ; it is, however, fortu nately in a mitigated form ; and although there will be some individual sufferers enduring heavy losses, there is every reason to hope that there will be more than an average crop retained for the use of the people. The vast importance of the " potato" to the labouring population in that country can scarcely be adequately understood on this side of St. George's Channel. It is to them literally the" staffof life." It sup plies not only the place of "corn" but also of the "small currency ;" wages are paid and debts liquidated in the favourite esculent. Before " the famine" every peasant considered that he was provided for the year if he had secured a few roods or even perches of land, at the conacre rents of 101., 12/., or 141. per acre. No matter how exorbitant might be the price, he was contented if he could "work it out," and such things as rents at 12/. per acre, liquidated at 6d. per diem for the wages of adult men, were of but too frequent occurrence. The produce of the dearly-ac quired garden not only constituted the sole article of food forming the .staple at breakfast, dinner, and supper, but it acted as the " circulating medium." It satisfied the travelling pedlar for the scanty ar ticles of decency, we cannot call them of comfort or luxury, supplied to the humble household, and afforded the alms to the wandering mendicant. It was in fact all and everything to those who, having it, required or sought nothing further. It was the alpha and omega of their aspirations—the beginning And end of their desires. The mysterious dispensation of PROVIDENCE which suddenly destroyed the entire crop produced the most lamentable results. Even the eight millions of pounds sterling, supplied by Saxon liberality, although it in some degree mitigated the evil, could not by any means afford adequate compensation. Many lives were preserved, but the working classes— more especially the agricultural labourers —were more than decimated. The census of the past year affords the most unequivocal testimony, the most incontest able evidence of the melancholy and fatal results. Famine, and its twin-sister pestilence, reigned supreme, and all those who could by any possibility succeed in doing so, fled from the fated soil, and sought refuge on the other side of the Atlantic. Year after year the pestilence has returned, but happily in t mitigated shape. This is the seventh year, and we trust that after the present season the potato disease will only be spoken of as a thing of the past. Ireland may then be regenerated and as sume the position to which she is entitled. the prices of land will again come to something like a fair rate, and those who have purchased at present rates will find that they have made really profitable speculations. The legisla tion that should have been passed during the pre, ient session, but for the proceedings of the "Brigade,' will at length be carried, and all will be as prosperous in the sister kingdom as it has hitherto been unpro pitious and miserable. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Legislative Assembly adjourned for the holi days on Friday, and on Saturday the Commission of Permanence sat for the first time. It was resolved hat the Committee should hold a meeting every second Thursday. M. Durex presided. On Friday morning, while the Municipal Council of Paris were sitting, the LORD MAYOR of London was introduced by the Prefect of the Seine. His Lord- 4hip, who was about to quit for England, came to take leave of the council, and to thank them for the wel come he had received. Addressing the President, he aid— " Gentlemen,—l am happy to be admitted amongst you, and to be able to offer to the municipal body here assembled my thanks and my gratitude for the cordial and gracious welcome which has been given To me. I am happy, Gentlemen, not only on my own account personally, but also because I feel that the honours with which you have surrounded me are the xpression of your lively sympathies for the alliance of 'he English and French nations, and that the city of Paris honours in me the magistracy of the city of Lon lon. I have no doubt that the bonds of friendship which we have just formed will contribute to consolidate hat fruitful peace, under the shelter of which our two nations are equally destined to prosper in arts and in manufactures." M. LANQUETIN, the President of the Council, re plied in the warmest terms to this address, in which the members of the municipality heartily concurred. After partaking of a (life iiner, the LORD MAYOR took leave of his hosts, and, accompanied by the Prefect of .he Seine, proceeded to the Northern Railway termi nus. During his route he was several times hailed with warm salutations by the people. The Marquis of NORMANDY has addressed the fol lowing letter to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs:— " Monsieur le Ministre,—lt is with particular satisfac tion that I address your Excellency, charged as I am to express officially to the President of the Republic, to the members of the Government, to the Prefect of the Seine, .nd to the Municipality of Paris, the profound gratitude of Lord Granville, of the other members of the Royal Commission, of the jury, and of the persons who are attached by other titlt s to the Great International Exhi bition, for the cordial reception which they have found •verywhere, during their recent visit to Paris. " They will for over preserve a lively recollection of he kindly and flattering care taken by the authorities to ptfer them, during these few days, a specimen of all the curious wonders of this splendid capital; and they have raken their departure, profoundly sensible of the ami cable feeling with which they were, on all occasions, re ceived by all classes of the Parisian population. " They are, besides, happy to consider these files, which originated in the desire to do honour to the Great International Exhibition, as afresh and satisfactory proof that that useful enterprise will realise, without doubt, the object of its Royal Founder, by tending to favour that cordial good feeling which ought always to exist between civilized nations. " Permit me, besides, Monsieur le Ministre, to assure your Excellency that it is to me an extreme satisfaction to have to transmit to you the expression of these sen. timents, knowing as I do, from the amicable relations which have so twig subsisted between us, both before and during our official intercourse, how much your Excel lency will partake them. _ _ " I think I can with every confidence call your prede cessors during the period, so fruitful in events, that I have resided here as the representative of my Sovereign, to witness that my most ardent efforts have always tended to favour the best understanding, the most cordial rela tions between these two great neighbouring nations, which have so many interests in common. " I take advantage of this circumstance to renew to your Excellency the assurance of my high consideration. " NORMANDY." Colonel BERRTER, the b ro th er of M. BERRYER, the Legitimatist representative, has been promoted by the PRESIDENT of the Republic to the rank of General of Brigade. The funeral_ of Marshal SEBASTIAN' takes place to-morrow at the Invalides. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Ana. 9. The only transaction reported to-day vraa—Namur and Liege, 6%. the massacre of all who are not Mazzinians. The whole is evidently a forgery emanating from the Austrian Chancery, and intended as a set off against the revelations of Mr. GLADSTONE. But the forgery is very clumsily managed, It lacks the ingenuity and the air of probability which were wont to characterise such emanations from the Austrian Chancery at the time Prince METTERNICH was at the bead of affairs. Mr. CHARLES MACFAR LANE himself could haye scarcely perpetrated a more stupid blunder. The last division of the Austrian corps of ocoupa tion has left Cassel. Accounts from Hungary state that the inhabitants have almost universally given up smoking. DENMARK. Accounts from Copenlagen of the 6ch state that the KING'S health is completely re-established. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, AVG. 9.—Contrary to expectation, the Ministers carried the distillery question by 56 against 19, and five absentees. HOLLAND. TUE HAGUE, AUG. 9.—The QUEEN, who has been seriously ill for the last fortnight, is now convales cent. Her MAJESTY'S accouchement is expected at the end of this month, or early in the next. The Committee in the Second Chamber charged to examine the additional articles of the treaty of trade and navigation concluded with great Britain, have given in their report, from which it appears that, by these articles, the flags of Great Britain and the Netherlands are placed on an equal footing in their respective ports. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Benjamin Dow, driver, and Richard Thornton, conduc tor of one of Sinnet's omnibuses, was charged before Mr. Hall, with evading the post-horse duty and the pay ment of a turnpike toll. The evidence for the prosecution was, that the defen dants, on Saturday, the 9th inst., not plying regularly on the road, nor provided with the ordinary day-ticket, let out the vehicle to carry a party of nineteen persons from Dulwich to London, but, on the road, teok up and sat down other passengers. They evaded the toll by not taking Waterloo-bridge as the arranged route fur their omnibuses. The defence was, that the hiring for a single party , for the j ourney was not such as to exclude the defen dants from taking other passengers on the road in the usual way, and did not bring them within the Post-horse Duty Act, as a vehicle specially hired for the day. The evasion of the toll was unintentional, as they drove to Westminster, instead of Waterloo-bridge, according to the wishes of the nineteen passengers who first engaged them. Mr. Vickers, foreman to a London firm, stated that on Saturday, the men in the employment of that firm had their annual excursion and dinner at Dulwich. The payment of the expenses was entrusted to him, and he bargained for the fares of nineteen of his companions, who agreed to re turn to town by the omnibus, several others of their party having preferred other means of conveyance. But he did not engage the carriage exclusively for himself and fri!nds. Other passengers proved that the route taken was at the request of themselves. Mr. HALL, after a long examination, said that he had power to impose a penalty of 201.; but he would on the present occasion content himself with cautioning the de fendants for the future in a substantial manner, by ordering the driver, Dow, to pay a fine of 51., or be im prisoned one month. lie discharged the conductor, who did not seem to be involved in the responsibility.

Tho sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken on speculation. Tho sales comprised 6,000 American, 500 Pernam and Maranham, at sfd. to q -d; 150 Egyptian, at 51d. to 7d.; and 400 Surat, at 2d. to 31d. per lb. The market closed firmly.—Tho Share Market was firmer, and Midland Stock was in demand. The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 9th inst., was without change. Spanish Stack was more in favour. The accounts from the West India Islands have been delivered, and are not altogether favourable in respect to the weather and the state of health in Jamaica. There were complaints at Kingston of the loss of news papers, Fsc., and the matter is thus explained : " The continual mis-carriage of English and Colonial exchanges, has, for some time, been a source of incon venience and annoyance to us, and we, too, have con sidered the fact, to some extent, attributable to mis management in the General Post-office of this island. We cannot say we are not satisfied that other causes than this contribute to prevent perfect files from reach ing us, for we have occasionally found even our outside file by the R. M. C. Steamer deprived of ono or two of the latest papers, either through the neglect of the party forwarding it to see them inclosed, or because they are abstracted on board —an alternative which we are not at all inclined to entertain. But the same fact as that alluded to by a contemporary —that of papers addressed to other parties occasionally being sent to us—cannot fail to incline us to the conclu sion that neglect at the General Post-office does, in some measure, conduce to the continual disappointment to which we are subjected. " We understand that a money-letter, which was some time ago posted in St. Thomas in the East, and mat• be said to have been traced to the General Post-office, has not reached its destination, and cannot be satisfacto rily accounted for. We trust, however, that the ea deavours being made to discover what has become of it will be so prosecuted as to lead to a successful result. The authorities will, of course, see the propriety of their using every effort to free the department from suspicion of culpability in the matter." The American adeices have been delivered, and the private advicos are satisfactory as to trading and monetary affairs. The Funds are very steady but not animated. Con sols have been quoted 961 for Transfer, and 96i 1 ,- tor Account. The New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. have been marked 98f to 99, and the Three per Cents. 97i to 97i. Exchequer-bills have realised 465. to 495. premium. The prorogation of the English and French Legislatures leaves the market free from exciting causes. Foreign Securities have been somewhat fluctuating, but there is not a great deal doing. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 20i- to 21, and the Three per Cents. 38k, being steady. Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 32f to 33f. Mexican Stock is only 304 to I, owing to the disappointment at the small remittance. Brazilian for Account has been 92, and Peruvian Old Bonds are 901. Austrian Five per Cents. have realised 83, Dutch Four per Cents. 93f to I, and Russian Five per Cents. 115 to f. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have by the Trent received udvices from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, the sth July, of which the following is an ex tract:— " I have just received a communication from the Mi ni.ler of Finance, purporting to be a reply to the va rious letters which I have trom time to time this year and last addressed to the successive Finance Ministers on the business] of the bondholders. Tho letter is chiefly confined to three points, viz.-Ist. The construc tio❑ of tho second paragraph of the 2d article of the Da•cree of 14th October. 2dly. The interest on the 2,500,000 dolls. indemnity money; and, 3dly, the July dividend now due in London. No. 1 is referred to Congress. No. 2 is not to be alluwed, and with regard to No. 3, the deficiency is stated at 200 ,000 dolls., which the Government hits called upon the Congress to provide." The Trent brings 30,000 dollars to Col. Facio, from Vera Cruz, but nothing from Tampico, having been com pelled to leave behind both the mail and the Admiralty agent there. In Railway Shares there has been very little doing, and prices consequently have und,rgono scarcely any change.

MISS KELLY'S THEATRE.—This elegant little theatre is at present occupied by Mr. Henry Russell, the popular and accomplished vocalist, whose musical entertain ments, founded upon incidents of travel in America, have so long been a source of delight to the pleasure-seeking portion of the community. The nature of the entertainment is too well known and appreciated to need any recommendation in these columns, but Mr. Russell has introduced a novel and agreeable feature into his performances, which is well worthy of a passing notice. Mr. Russell was wont to deliver his lyrical romances with so much pathos and dramatic effect, that one scarcely thought there was room left for adding to the interest of his songs. It seems, however, that his active mind is ever on the alert to discover new methods of con tributing to the enjoyment of his patrons, and, taking a hint from brother Jonathan, he has combined the pictorial with the musical, and now his entertainment embraces the genius of the artist as well as the taste of the musician. Nothing can surpass the beauty of the panoramic scenes which grace his songs and illustrate his anecdotes, while they are as correct in detail as they are perfect in execution, and those who wish to enjoy an intellectual treat should go and pass an evening with Air. Russell in the Soho Theatre. ROYAL VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The fineness of the weather, combined with the large number of strangers at present in London, and the altogether superior entertain. ments, accounts in the most satisfactory manner for the nightly crowded state of the Royal Property. The pro • prietor, in addition to the many attractions of this renowned place of resort, has engaged an equestrian company, whose merits have already been acknowledged. The principal per formers comprising the company, are Madlle Palmyra An nato and Hernandez, each of whom have already acquired for themselves a world-wide reputation. The water and fire sports, invented by M. Faucault. and exhibited by that gen tleman, are truly beautiful, forming a very attractive part of the evening's amusement. Next Wednesday is announced for the benefit of Mr. Wardell, the indefatigable manager, whose liberality in granting the use of these gardens for charitable purposes cannot be too highly commended. We doubt not but that the public will testify to his popularity by attending in considerable numbers on the occasion, THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM•SIIIP.--.ThiS spl en did dock, o e t c s f s ko e rl, seahft where ri r en aboutsundergoinghe has tw receivedo a months. thorough new She is no w i n t h e graving keel, havin g b een for merly repair, is expe c t e d to b e flat, and a spacious and splendid saloon has been fitted up on her deck, extending the entire length, 275 feet.

SUICIDE IN HORNSEY WOOD. — Yesterday morning, some youths who had entered Hornsey-wood for the pur pose of nutting, observed the body of a man suspended to the branch of a tree. They informed the police, who cut down the unfortunate man, and removed the remains to the Horn sey-wood tavern. From the marks on the tree, it is inferred that the deceased clambered up and fastened the fatal noose, and then threw himself off. The body is that of a man about thirty years of age, dressed in black coat, light vest, and Tweed trousers. His shirt was fastened with silver studs, marked R. L. A., and some documents were found on him, inscribed John H. Nelson. MILITARY FORCE IN LONDON AND VICINITY.--The following are the regiments and battalions at present quar tered in the metropolis and its environs:—Cavalry -Ist Regiment of Life Guards, Albany Barracks, Regent's-park; 2d ditto, Knightsbridge Barracks, Hyde-park; Royal Horse Guards (Blue), Windsor; Ist Royal Dragoons, Barnet; 4th Light Dragoons, Hampton-court; Bth Hussars, Kensington and Hounslow; 17th Lancers and Royal Horse Artillery, Woolwich.

Besides the above are the enrolled Chelsea out-pensioner battalions, who can always be called out, if required, within 24 hours. The tranquil state of the metropolis during the " Grand Exhibi tion of the Industry of all Nations" will not require after this month more thaa the usual number of troops in the vici nity of town. MAD FREAK OF A SERVANT GIRL.—The family of Mr. Hall, of the Brunswick Inn, Ashton-under-Lyne, were much distressed on the evening of Thursday week by the sudden disappearance of a domestic servant girl, and as much astounded by her re-appearance under as singular cir cumstances on the following Wednesday evening. She was sought for in all places where it was thought she could be at the time of her disappearance, but without effect. Two nights after a low moaning was heard in one part of the house, but nothing could be made out of it until Wednesday morning, when the landlord heard a feeble knocking up stairs, and on going to ascertain the cause, he found the missing servant, just emerged from a hole communicating with the roof. She appeared to have been without food from the time she entered it, nearly a week before, and her body was so emaciated that it was deemed advisable to send her to the hospital. All the reason she can assign for her very singular conduct is, that she is an orphan and she thought everybcdy looked shy at herl - - DEPARTURII OF THE STEAM-SHIP CANADA.—On Saturday, at eleven o'clock, the British and North-American Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Capt. Harrison, left the Mersey for Halifax. and Boston, with very heavy mails, for the United States, Canada, Newfoundland, &c. She had also a full cargo and 130 passengers. BIRTIL—On the Bth inst., at Beverley, Mrs. 11. Llewellyn Williams, of a son. A frightful accident happened the day before yes terday at Arras, in a half-moon near the polygon of the en gineers. The guard-home in that work, which was used as a workshop to make up the articles used in mining, blew up with a terrific explosion. Nine soldiers of the 2d Regiment of Engineers and the sergeant who had the direction of the operations were blown to pieces, and their limbs scattered in every direction with the materials of the building. Four other men were seriously wounded and taken to the hospital. The cause of the explosion has not vet been ascertained, but it is not attributed to the negligence of any one, but rather to the rays of the sun darting with great intensity on a quantity of chlorate of potass which had been placed to dry.

CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY ) Full average supplies of English Wheat were on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday. All kinds met a very dull inquiry, at further depressed rates. In new Wheat a few transactions were reported. Fo reign qualities commanded scarcely any alteration. Barley and Malt, including Oats, were very dull, and lower to purchase. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn gavo way is per quarter, whilst Flour was offering on lower terms. Our New York letter states that only a moderate bu siness was doing in Wheat, Indian Corn, and Flour for shipment to England. Prices, however, were mostly supported. In the Baltic and Black Sea ports the grain trade has been less active. The exports of Flour front France have fallen off. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English Wheat were good—those of other articles small. From abroad we received 22,746 quarters of Wheat, 10,365 Barley, 66,074 Oats, 1,040 Rye, 935 Peas, 6,385 Linseed, 1,763 Rapeseed, 27 Mustard•seed, 10 sundry seeds, 2,000 Indian Corn, 1,713 sacks and 4,789 barrels Flour. Coastwise the arrivals of Wheat fresh up to this morning's market were very moderate, but of fair average quality. By land carriage the receipts were comparatively small; nevertheless, the show of samples —from the bulk of last week's supply being on offer— was larger than for some time past. Owing to the rapid progress making in harvest operations in the whole of our forward districts, the pressure of foreign Grain, and the thin attendance of both town and country buyers, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of fully 11. per quarter, and a clearance was not effected. There were about 100 quarters of New Wheat on offer from Essex, but its quality—from the Corn having been cut in a very unripe state—was scarcely fit for milling purposes. Selected samples of foreign Wheat were mostly held at full quotations, but the business doing was extremely small. Low and middling kinds were exceedingly heavy, and Is per quarter lower than last week. . . There was very little inquiry for floating cargoes off Falmouth, the number of which has somewhat increased. __— About 50 quarters of new English Barley was brought forward, and the supply of foreign was very extensive. The trace was in a depressed state, and most descriptions were lower to purchase. We had a very slow sale fur Malt at barely stationary prices. The show of samples was but moderate. We had a very small supply of home-grown 084, but that of foreign was very extensive. The trade was heavy, and low parcels of foreign were 61 per quarter lower. Beans moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. In Peas next to nothing was doing, and white quali ties gave way is per quarter. Low parcels of foreign Flour were offering at a reduc tion of from 6d to Is per sack. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Our market to-day wPs ye y heavily supplied with both English and Foreir n BeastJ, the general quality of which was good. Notes ithstau Sing that Newgate and Leaden hall were well cl. ar , and that the attendance of both town and country buyers was large, the Beef trade ruled exceedingly heavy, at prices barely equal to those of Monday last. The top quotation for the best Scots did not exceed 3s 6d per Sibs. and a total clearance was nog effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, we received 2,100 Scots, Herefords, Short Horns, &c.; from other parts;ot England, 600 ef various breeds; and from Scotland, 70 horned and polled Scots. The re mainder of the supply was chiefly derived from abroad. Even the time of year considered, the supply ef Sheep was very extensive; whilst their general condition was good. Prime Downs and Hulf•breds were in moderate request, at last week's:currency; but most other breeds moved off slowly, and, in some instances, prices were the turn in favour of buyers. Lambs, the number of which was large, were in fai r request at l a t e rates . W e had a slight improvement in the Veal trade, at full prices. Pigs moved off heavily, at our quotations. A large portion of the Foreign arrivals has been sold out of the market. Per 81be.to alakthe Offal.
