" The author, we are 11)w - since& is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed suck fresh and enthusiastic sympathy , is be half of his heroes and heroines. lie is a w writer of genius, inspired by a 111..11 standard of morality and religion, an 4 by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this irom the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he kas marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Ms: sells, Man verses, and Smythes."—Observe. •• Silwood' is no ordinary work • it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. it is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. 01 the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, pasSlonately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

Thankfulness that the cholera has not revisited the metropolis this summer should not be the only con sequence of our exemption from its devastating influ ences. A more sedulous attention to the necessities of sanitary improvement should be the testimony of our satisfaction. To act otherwise under the cir cumstances would be worse than culpable, it would be folly and shortsightedness. Every year, immediately after the prorogation of Parliament, taking advan tage of that lull which invariably succeeds the cessa tion of the toils of the Legislature, we endea vour to revive this most important subject to the re collection of the community. Our pertinacity in so doing arises from a profound sense of the chief responsibility devolving upon journalists, the responsibility of perpetually directing public attention to those topics out of the discussion of which may come assurances of the popular advancement. Prac tically, of all such subjects there never has been one more immediately calculated to secure benefit to the population then that which is comprised under the title of the Sanitary Movement. In that movement may be recognised even by the least discerning the initial of a great change in the condition of the human race. Heretofore so much regard had been had to the spiritual and intellectual health of mankind as almost entirely to exclude from consideration the necessity of preserving in souse systematic manner the health of the physical part of humanity. At least, whatever education was adventured upon in respect to the multitude was restricted to the soul or the intellect of our species, no regard being had to that education of the body which is essential to the en joymesat of existence, that education of the body which is rtqttired moreover for the perfect development of mind and morality. A glimmering notion of this truth is conveyed in the old classic _ axiom about the mens sans in corpore sano, hut its clear and accurate recog nition'.was reserved, it would appear, for the present generation. It is now felt that the sound mind and the sound body are so mutually dependent on each other that their separate development is in a great measure impracticable. True that many men of genius,. like ALEXANDEZ Pore, have preserved their intellect in uncommon splendour through a life little better, to use the expressive phrase of Dr. I JOIMON, • than " one long disease." True, again, many lunatics survive through a protracted series of years in the rudest health, and with the most robust vigour of frame. But in the generality of instances the mind and body are each so affected by their respective derangement, that the health of one may be said to be wholly incompatible with the disease of the other. This subtle affinity between the spiritual and corporeal elements of uur nature is so rams, k able that scarcely a day passes without each receiving some evidence of its reality. The fact may be re cognized around us perpetually in a thousand in stances ; when, for example, we see strong men re duced by mental anxiety and wasted away by sor rowful emotions, or when, on the other hand, we see the finest intellects at times rendered morbid by the continual pressure of physical suffering. These things, indeed, are so wholly undeniable, that arguments in illustration of their existence were little less than an impertinence. They have been acknowledged by this period alike by the man of science and the moral philosopher. To gainsay them would be to set at nought both the deductions of physics and metaphysics. Such being the results of observation and inquiry, it becomes the bounden duty of all persons capable of aiding in its development to forward in every pos4ble way the spread of the Sanitary Movement. The phy sicians and surgeons, as a body, have from the very first taken a noble part in the be neficent work of agitation. We would see their example emulated to the uttermost by the clergy of all denominations. Let it not, in the name of GOD, be said by the scoffers at religion, that its ministers refrain from advocating the development of sanitary improvements through any fear that those improvements may be detrimental to their interests — clearing the minds at the same time that it purifies the physical condition of the people, and rendering them consequently less liable to the influences of fanaticism and superstition. Let them feel that fanati cism is to true religion what disease is when contrasted with health, or idiotcy with genius. Let them show by their ardour in forwarding the views of the sanitary reformers that they regard superstition as inimical to the principles of real morality, just as they would regard darkness to be the opposite of light, and ignorance of wisdom. Much remains to be done in this way by the ministers of Christianity, and eagerly shall we watch fur the time when th , y shall enter into the advocacy of the sanitary princi ples with an enthusiasm like that displayed by the medical profession. Without the walls of the Parliament a vast deal has already been accomplished towards the diffusion of those opinions which are only now beginning to exercise any authority over the deliberations of the Legislature. Without the walls of G-wydyr House much has been done towards the advancement of that cause which appears to have only now awakened the ingenuity of the Sanitary Commissioners. So tri vial, indeed, has been the progress made, either in Whitehall-gardens or in the legislative palace at Westminster, towards the adoption of a grand system of sanitary improvement, that we should have reason to question at once the humanity and the com petence of the Government, but that we had learnt long ago to look upon such procrastination as inevitable. A bitter experience has taught the multitude the folly of counting upon the realisation of such dreams of reform without previously passing through an ordeal of the most wearisome delays and hesitations. Insomuch is this felt to be the case, that the people are disposed to be thankful, as for an actul boon, to the mere delibera tions of a Parliamentary Committee. Hap pily, by this time, we have gained some thing more than this in the -way of sanitary change—the first step having been taken towards its perfect development by the Metropolitan Interments Bill passed during the late session of Parliament. With a propar continuance of agitation yet more may be accomplished, until by a gradual series of instal ments a complete and effectual system is inaugurated. For this we shall strive unceasingly; but while the people look to the Press for perseverance in their wholesome demands of innovation, they look also for the satisfaction of those demands to the wisdom and beneficence of the Government. If the salutary labours of the Criminal Law Corn missioners, and the heavy expenditure, nearly 100,0001. sterling, incurred therein, are not to be altogether thrown away ; if the admirable digests of crimes and punishments," and of "the law of pro cedure in criminal cases," prepared with so much care and industry by those experienced and eminent persons, are to receive the legislative sanction, we crust that full provision will be made fir the prose cution in every instance, by competent and well-qua lified public prosecutors, of all such offences as may be deemed worthy of notice, and, as a necessary con sequence, that the right of private prosecution be abolished, unless with the express permission of the public functionary. Experience has shown that the duty or privilege of private prosecution, which ever it may be considered, has but too often led either to the escape of parties really guilty, or to the persecution and oppression of innocent persons. In every such case there is the public and private injury— the former to society in general by the infringement of the laws enacted for the protection of the commu nity, the latter for the damage sustained by the in tfividual, for which he may claim pecuniary compen sation. This right could not, of course, be interfered with in any manner. Every person must be the sole judge of his own concerns in which he is exclusively in terested. If he think proper he may remit the punish ment and pardon the offender, or he may institute such proceedings as he may deem best calculated to pro cure him redress. But no such option is allowed in matters affecting the general safety. There the party will be bound over to appear under heavy pecuniary penalties in case of default, and, even if any doubt be entertained of his appearance at the appointed time, he may be compelled not only to enter into his own recognizances, but to find sufficient sureties that he will be forthcoming, in such sum or sums as the presiding magistrate may fix, and, in the event of refusing or being unable to do so, may himself be committed to prison, and severely punished, because he has had the misfortune to be robbed, assaulted, or otherwise injured. The breach of the public peace is the only subject that can be taken into consideration, and as a member of so ciety he must relinquish a certain portion of his own liberty, and submit to considerable inconvenience fur the general welfare. This is a just and necessary re gulation, although it may appear to press severely on individuals. Were it otherwise, the law might be violated with impunity. Wealthy offenders would always escape, if enabled to compromise with the prosecutors, and the law itself would be slighted, despised, and brought into dis repute, if it could be asserted with truth that " there was one law for the poor and another for the rich." It is on the same principle that it has been determined that " no indictment will lie fur a mere private injury against an individual ;" the machinery of the criminal judicature could not be brought into operation for the purpose of enforcing a private right, or redressing a private wrong, for all such questions properly come within the civil jurisdiction of the va rious tribunals. But if a party be bound to come forward to promote the administration of justice whenever called upon, that is all that can fairly be demanded at his hands. He must be a witnesi, because no other person can be a substitute. But why should the onus be cast upon him of conducting the prosecu tion, and making himself responsible for ail the costs and expenses thereof ? According to the constitu tional theory be is to receive ample protection in person and property in return for the surrender of a portion of his natural liberty, and his contribution towards the maintenance of the national establish ments and the liquidation of the nationalitabilities• But, under the present unwise arid impolitic system, is expected to become a species of public champion, defending the interests of the community which ha:* been i► y.ded in his person. There are many evil consequences resulting from this course, not the least of which is, that what. is really an act of public justice is too frequently looked upon as a matter of private vengeance, and malevolent anti vindictive feelings are excited in the minds of the offenders and their families against persons who had no alternative, and could not have acted differently. There is another evil also resulting from the sys• tem. Prosecutions are frequently instituted for the purpose of extortion, of making the accused party bribe the parties preferring the charge, rather than submit to the annoyance and exposure of a trial in open court. The power p'rmitted to any person of sending bills before a grand jury, and having them found too . often on the most ridiculously inadequate evidence, is resorted to as a formidable instrument of oppression to intimidate and terrify weak•minded persons into compromises. Such matters are of daily occurrence, and have already gained an infamous no te riety. There is another matter connected with this sub ject, which was painfully illustrated at the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday last. Some pro tection is due to persons awaiting their trials; they should not be exposed to the plunder that is carried on by sham attorneys, and sometimes, it appears, even by duly qualified practitioners. The friends and relatives of the accused make the greatest exertions to procure the sum necessary for the de fence, and, too late, find that the party in whose behalf they have made these efforts are left without legal assistance. On Wednesday last, a man was charged with a serious offence, for which he was justly subjected to transportation fur life. His un fortunate and heart-broken wife had employed an at torney, and given him 21. to fee counsel. A portion of this money, 11. 3s. 61., had been paid to one barrister, but the attorney advised that " a leading counsel should be employed," which he said would cost 21. 41.. 6d. The wretchtd woman gave him 21„ and promised to bring the remaining 4s. 6d., but no second barrister was employed, and it was with great difficulty that the money could be got back from the " professional gentleman" who had acted thus strangely, not, indeed, until the pre siding Judge (Baron PLATT) declared that if it were not given up he would direct an indictment to be pre pared against him. The Learned Judge commented in strong terms upon the circumstances of the ease, which we trust will not be forgotten when framing the new criminal code. 'THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The account of the emeute at Besancon is con firmed; and from those very Ministerial journals, which, so long as the fact could be kept a secret from the inhabitants of Paris, recorded that the PRESIDENT was received every where at Besancon with the " utmost enthusiasm" we extract the following de scription of the " scene" at the ball to which we al luded yesterday. The itioniteur du Soir says— " Tne great mass cf she populaiion of 13-sai can is ex cellent; it is animated by the best sentiments. But with that re..pulation are mixed up about 5,000 Swiss, em ployed in watchmaking. These men are so many re cruits to the Socialist army. It appears that they had concerted together to make a violent manifestation in honour of Socialism, when the President passed through the place. According to the information which we have been able to collect, these wretches were even disposed to pass all limits, and proceed to the greatest excesses. In a word, they proposed to attempt, if not the life, at least the liberty of the President. This sort of plot was to be executed at the ball at the Halle. Our read re have learned by the telegraphic dispatch that before proceeding to the ball at the theatre, the President went to the bail at the Halle. It was at the express request of the su perior authorities of the town that this visit was deter mined on. Just at the moment of ls-aving the Prefecture one of the commissaries of police of BesaLcan asked to see the President, and said, 'My duty ana my honour oblige me to beseech you not to go to the ball, as there is a plot against your person.' Louis Napoleon calmly replied—` I place confidence in the sympathy of the in habitants, and I shall go.' But scarcely had he arrived there when the plot revealed itself. The President was at once enveloped by a compact crowd, who hemmed him in on all sides, and a dozen of individuals were above all remarkable for the ardour with which they urged the otaers to disorder. It was only after an obstinate struggle that Louis Napoleon was freed from the circle with which he was surrounded. The gendarmes on duty at the ball, to maintain order, were obliged to employ the greatest efforts to keep off the crowd, and General de CaDtellane was even fumed to draw 'his sword. After getting out of the ball at the Halle, the President pro ceeded to the ball at the theatre, where he received the most cordial and enthusiastic reception. An unimportant incident took place there, but without producing any effect An individual, wearing a red eras at, cried out Viva la Republic Rouge!' and was immediately ar rested. Without wishing to exaggerate the importance of the little plot at Besancon. tee ramifications of which we are not yet sufficiently acquainted with, we cannot, however, help reflecting on the consequences of this au dacious attempt, had i t succeeded." We find the following account in the Patrie " I concluded my last letter at the moment when the President went to the ball at the theatie. The most brilliant company was there assembled to receive him; among them were a great number of the Legitimatist families of the neighbournood who had never made their appdarance at any of the soirees given by the house of Orl , ans, or at the public balls given in its honour. The PreSident remained there about half an hour, and re- ceived the most enthusiastic welcome. Oa entering and iesving he was hailed with cries of Vire Napoleon!' Vise le President!' The President then visited the ball at the Hill. The demagogical agitators and the population of cue of the faubourgs of Bestir 9 in, com posed mostly of Swiss, who were uccupieu exclusively, as at Jamaica, in watchmaking, and who profess the most violent opinionr, assembled there. Rumours of a conspiracy aed of au intended attempt against the life of the President were in circulation; a commissary of police, in alarm, went to meet the Prince, telling him that ha was the general subject of conversation. The Preside nt,with that calmness aud resignation which you are aware strongly mark his character, merely smiled at the remark, and said he could not believe that any one could wish to assassinate him; that, moreover, Providence might dispose of him us it thought fit, and he imme diately crossed the threshold of the ball-room door. He there found himself, as did all his suite, so pressed upon by the croad that one of his aides de-camp, Colonel de Beville, received some bruises, and General Vesco had his trousers torn. On leaving the room a similar scene was renewed, and the President and his suite had lite rally much difficulty in clearing themselves a passage. I must add that cries of Vive la Republique;' and even of ' Vive la Rlipublique Decnocratique et Seciale !' were uttered in the must hostile manner by a group of ill looking individuals, almost all of them strangers to the place. Nine amongst them were arrested by the gendarmes and by the commissary of police, Des cors, who alone seized six of them, one after the ether. This fact, and the prevailing cry of Viva la Etipublique!' which were uttered at Beiancen, are far from having the importance which our scarlet adver saries wiil endeavour to give them. It is to be remarked that the general character of the true population of Be sancon has at all times been that of political indifference. The foreign and transitory population, and the quarter inhabited by the Swiss; are the only ones which make themselves heard at a given moment, and it is well known what is to be thought cf people who have no real domi cile. The men of order, more here than elsewhere, con fine themselves, as Chateaubriand says, to closing the windows when the storm rages in the streets. An un answerable proof of the truth of what I advance is the nomination by a large majority of the inhabitants of Besancon of General Baraguey d'Hilliers to the Consti tuent and Legislative Assemblies, and the certainty of his future re-election. This morning the President received the authorities at the Prefecture. After those receptions, which lasted a considerable length of time, several old soldiers of the empire were presented to him, and re ceived proofs of generosity. A grand dejeuntr succeeded to which the principal authorities were invited. At ele ven o'clock the President mounted on horseback, and proceeded to the Polygon to pass the troops and National Guard in review. 'The National Guard was composed of the three battalions of the town, cunt ,ining a large number of men, of the battalion of banlieue, of the legion of artillery, and of the battalion of pompiere. As to the troops of the garrison, they were only 3,000 in number, being all that are quartered here at present. The President, as he rode through the ranks, bad near him General d'Hautpaol, General de Castellaue, General Baraguty o'Hilliers, General Vesco, General Rebillot, M. Dumas, M. Bineau, Colonels di Vaudrey, de Faille, and Edgard Ney, and the staff of the 13th Artillery corps. The cry of Vive Is Republique!' was frequently heard during the Presideut's passage trom the Prefecture to the Polygon; but cries of • Wee Napoleon!" Vire le President!' were also very general. Three men who cried Viva la Republique Demucratique et Social, !' were arrested. During the time that the troops were filing off, it was also th:, cry which was most energetically raised by the men, and particularly by the legion of artillery. How ever, the cries of Vive le President I' and Vive Na poleon!' were also heard, but not so frequently. In general the attitude of the population was calm and re spectful, but without any enthusiasm. The President gave the cross to several officers, non-commissioned offi cers, and soldiers. Colonel Hubert, of the 13th Artillery, and the colonel of the gendarmerie were promoted to the rank of commanders. The President took his de parture fir Belton at half-past one, the authorities ac compauying him to the gates of the town. A salvo of artillery trees t'ae forts announced his departure. A vast crowd was assembled to witness his passage through the town. The President, it is expected, will reach Belfort this evening at halt-past eight." The story of the plot for the assassination is dis k..elieved by every one, as is the assertion that the assailants were Swiss. It is admitted that the whole of the National Guards raised the cry of Vive la Republique, when the entourage shouted Vice le Pre sident on the departure of the PRESIDENT for Besancon. The National Guard of Besancon e, we presume, exclusively French citizens and French householders, and may be considered as firm ex ponents of the feelings of the industrious classes. The PRESIDENT arrived at Strasbourg on the 21st, as appears from the following telegraphic dispatch, which is published in the Moniteur of yesterday : " THE LIEUTENANT' GENERAL COMMANDING THE 4TH MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER-OF-WAR. " The President of the Republic arrived at three quarters past two o'clock. The authorities were waiting e a r t e t w h d e r w a e il r r e oad asse s m ta b t l i e o d n to to ra r e e e c t e h iv im e A. . lie w i as r m e n e v n e s d e with great enthusiasm." He passed through Mulhausen en route, where an enthusiastic Republican Manifestation took place, the only ary heardteing give la Republique ! Some of the letters frum 11-sancuri state that, so anxious was the Government to prevent the circula tion of the accounts of the la:td vceyion given to the PRESIDENT in that city, that the Republican paper of that place was setz,d in its bureau, and at the post-office. General JUNG BAHADOOE, Prime Minister of Ne paul, and Ambassador to the Court of London, has arrived in Paris. A letter from Valenciennes of the 20th inst. states that the damage caused by the inundations in that neighbourhood is immense. The entire country has the appeaaance of a lake. Several of the inhabitants have been drowned, together with a vast quantity of cattle.

The French Journal des Debats has the following in relation to German affairs:— " %Ve receive accounts at the same time -from Berlin and Vienna relative to the difference which exists be tween Prussia, and Austria, on the subject of the reor ganisation of Germany; these accounts lead us to hope, if not a speedy solution, at least for ait approach to wards it, and the settlement of the qaestion will be in the sense of the Cabinet of Vienna, as was long since tores Pen. " The fAlowing is what has reached us from Vienna under date of the 16th:— " The Cabinet is said to have received this even ing a dispatch, announcing the termination of the Ministerial crisis at Berlin. Thanks to the sup port of the Prince of Prussia, the opinion of M. de Monteiff,l will have prevailed at Potsdam. This statesman proposed, either the immediate aban doneseet of the union, or its frank realization even by force of arm;, whilst M. de R. adowitz wished for more demonstrations and menaces. The union, that ephemeral reign, will, therefore, be decidedly abandoned and M. de Monteuffel will remain in power. According to the Restricted Diet, and besides admitting the right of Austria to convoke that Assembly, Prussia will only put forward one pretension. She will demand that the question of the reorganisation of Germany shall be considered at Fraukfort eithout delay, and on this sub ject the Restricted Diet will decide by a majority. I am, however, positively informed that the Cabinet of Vienna, intending to propose.a more regular system for the revision of the federal compact within the limits and in the basis of treaties, will not accept this clause.' " The account from Berlin is dated the 19th:— "The Austrian Government has rejected in a pe remptory manner the proposition of our Cabinet tend log to continue the existence of the Central Federal Commission, which should occupy itself exclusively with the management of the common federal property. The Cabinet of Vienna proposes to form, independently of the question of the Restricted Council, a special committee of the actual Plenum for the management of the purely . material affairs of the federation, in which Prussia and her allies would take part through the medium of plenipotentiaries. As to questions exclusively political, the Austrian Govern ment persists in maintaining the competence of the Plenary Assembly at Frankfort, as welt as that of the Restricted Council. Our Government has at length de cided on accepting this proposition. This point having beau admitted, thre is no doubt but that a perfect un derstanding will boon be come to, fur the special com mittee will necessarily form the nucleus round which all the le ates of the federation will infallibly group, anti from whence will at length proceed the assembly which will definitively fix the tuture relations of Germany. The Austrian Cabinet has not yet authorised its charge d'affaires at London to sign the second protocol relative to the Duchies. M. de Koller has taken part in the con ferences in Landon; but, notwithstanding the modifica tions made in the protocol, and the reserves therein stipulated. he has ue to this time refused Co sign it.'" The Swabian Mercury publishes the following on the subject of the Zoilverein Congress at Cassel : The ZAlvereiii, which was opened at Cassel, at the commencement of July, will continue throughout the month of August, and although the sittings have not ,once been interrupted since its opening, it dues not appear that the busisiness will be tureatuatel even then. "Austria manifests the desire to enter, with all its territories, into a ZAlverein with the rest of Germany, and to this end it addressed a circular note, inviting all the German Governments to send representatives to a Zollvereiu Congress, at Frankfort ; but Mr. Delbruck, the Prussian delegate, presented to that assembly a me morial from his Government, expressing the motives which might render the carrying out of the plan of Austria dubious. However, there is a want of unani mity in the Congress, in the modifications prepesed by Prussia in the tariff of the Zaliverein. Prussia demands chiefly in favour of certain southern states of the Zollso rein that the highest duties shall be established according to the Engli.,ll tariff , , combined with a system of duty on the expertation of cotton stuffs manufactured in Germany. This proposition is not up proved of. Another proposition of Prussia for the in crease of duty on foreign iron has been highly approved by some of the states, but resisted by others as detri mental to the interests of agriculture. It was remarked by some of the m enbers that the import duty ou iron contributed greatly to increase the expense of the con struction of railways in the states of the Z iliverein, and that the Hanoverian Government had shonn great wisdom in taking off the whole of the duty upon iron rails, comieg from England and 13,1gium. The delegate from Fraoltf)rt declared that he bad instructions from his constituents to oppose every increase of duty. The chief object of duty in the Prussian Zollverein is, and always has beet:, a financial object, the augmentation ot, the receipts. product s , such as sugar, cof igparo- produce--a d u ty w hi c h certa i n ly " The Treasury of the Z is supplied by the fddeoueet:seensanoidmt o le pt e oh a se r erd a c oo p nl -O af t 7 e ar c el tive character for the purposes of favouring native industry. Part of the receipts of the Zollveretn constitute in each of its several states an in dispensable portion of the resources destined to cover the budget of expenditure, and this proves the incorrect ness, of the statement that several governments of the Zollierein intend to detach themselves from it at the ex piration of the period of its termination, viz., the close of Bavarian a n Saxony 1851. This report was refuted by their representatives, true' snake common cause but it is perfectly against Prussia, both being disposed to uphold the pro positions of Austria. " The Prussian Cabinet, however, is resolved to con sider the deliberations at Cassel as merely preparatory t a le ria ßa to a decisive termination at BrTlin." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Accounts from Rendsburgh, of the 16th, state that the Danes have evacuated Tanning, which has been occupied by Schleswig-Holstein troops. A battle was expected to take place in a law days, SESSION. HOLLAND. h ed as during much , CLOSE OF THE TEtz HAGUE, AUGUST 20.—At a combined sitting of the two Chambers of the States General, this da the Minister of the Home Department closed the y pre sent session with the foliowing s p eec h :____ by tli e t their eseimntpsoerst: slice as by their variety. In the fin.nctal department ses sion Gentlemen, —Your labours s you have passed several projects of law fur imp roving the economy both of the household and of several other branches of finance. The laws f or , regulating the postal department and the navigation laws particularly have deserved the special thanks of the Government. "The Government feels assured that by a thorough and well-regulated system they will produce bene ficial results on inland and - foreign trade. Our political privileges have been greatly developed by the passing, a n d carrying into effect, of article 7 of the lundamental law, regarding the right of enquete of the Second Chamber, the electoral law, and the formation and power ut the provincial states. The influence which these measures will produce upon the .commercial world is confidently left to the spirit and philanthropy of the people. " Your labours were not confined to mere legistation ; many a project—m an y a question submitted b y y ou to the Government, evinced your vigilant anxiety for the welfare of the country, and guided those deliberations by which the weal of the community was promoted. " At the opening of the session there was an uncer tainty respecting the proposed project Oil the responsi bility of the advisers of the Crown. It was therefore withdrawn. " You have earnestly and energetically supported the Ministry appointed by tie King in the discharge of their arduous duties. Th at w hich was prized by you as the highest of all requisitions —the unanimous co operation of the Government and popular representa tives—you have eminently displayed towards the King's Government. " The Chambers of the States General are dissolved— not on account of lack of unanimity or of confidence— but to give the ration the fattest opportnnity to carry by into effect the new etectoral law. You. Si rs, will have to stand for a new election , and will be able it to co-operate at perfect liberty in the grea t task which I law i n a former has been laid down by the fundam ents Sitting. Gentlemen, to tx " The King has commissioned me, press to you his acknowledgments for your faith!ul &charge of the duties of the Ste te. declare the present "In the name of the K'ng I session of the States General close d. ”—Staars Courant, August 21. ___.-- The Cologne SWEDEN. • • tails ot the tour of the King of Sweden and Nor de Gazette publishes so me interesting way, and the manifestations of public opinion as well on that occasion as on that of the elections fur the Diet of the kingdom, throughout the whole of their tour. His MAjesty and the Royal Family were re• ceived with the g rea t es t enthusiasm. The prepara tions for the election proceeded with tranquillity. The Liberal party, under the direction of Count Anckarisvaerd, tried to gam adherents to the project of the King, tending to modify the 6.xisting forms o f the r,-,pre!sentativ:: system in Sazeden. B y their efforts to obtain this end tho Libera,l party have ac quired a very advantageous and honourable position both in regard to the King stod the nation. it USSIA. The Journal d' Odessa has an article on the harvest in Southern Russia, which gives a mournful account of the state of the corn crops. In a letter from Sympheropol, dated the 29th of July, it is stated, " The view of our fields is most painful, as they appear perfectly burnt up. The corn is for the most part destroyed by locusts and insects (my lotris). They devour the stalk as well as the ear itself. The hay harvest has been very unsatisfactory, and the price of corn has rapidly risen. The harvest in the Government of Cheeson has not been so bad. Since May there has been almost a continued druught." ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT OSTEND. We are 11.1.ppy to announce that her Majesty and Prince Albert and suite arrived in safeiy yesterday at Ostend, where they landed at noon. Their recep tion was most enthusiastic. Ilis Mjeity the King of the Belgians went on board the royal yacht to welcome her M.;jesty to his dominions previous to the disembarkation. Thy particulars will appear in our next Edition. INCREASE OF POPULATION IN TIIE UNITED KING DOM. The population of Great ritain and Ireland in 1785 was estimated at 12,336,932, and in 1849, at 29,105,82 . 2, being an increase of about 123 per cent. The calculation made in 1785 gives the following result :—Population of England and Wales, 8,01+>,000; Ireland, 2,:x5.932; Scot land, 1,475,000. the population of the United Kingdom at present is thus apportioned : England and Wales, 17,759,4 2 ; Ireland, ~5! 5,•12; Scoland, 2,8,0,598. No enumeration of the population in :England and Wales took place p for to 1801, but the above calculation is made upon the estimate of Mr. Rickman. In estimating the population for 1849, it is assumed that it has increased since 1841 (when the last census was taken) at the same rate as did the females be tweea 1831 and tB4l. The military are excluded, as also are the islands in the British seas. The population of the latter was not enumerated until 18 1, when the numbers were 89,508 ; in 18 I, t 03,7 'O, and in 1849, 123,492. The estimate of the population of Ireland in 1841 is derived from the rate of increase prevailing between 1831 and 1841, but the late visitations of famine and cholera must have carried off at least 1,000,003. The numbers who have emi grated during the last ten years exceed a million. The present season promises to be a very fruitful one for honey. SIR It , BERT PEEL.—I43St night a meeting of the working classes was held at the Windsor Castle Tavern, Pimlico, for the purpose of co-operating with the central com mittee, to raise a memorial to the memory of the late la mented statesman. In the unavoidable absence of Mr. C. Lushington, M.P., who was in Westmoreland, the chair was taken by Mr. Dexter. Resolutions explanatory of the object in view were submitted to the meeting by Mr. Beal. Mr. J. G. Harris, Hon. Secretary, Mr. Driver, and others, and after a lengthened discussion, in consequence of an attempt having been made by some persona unfavourable to the testimonial to condemn the policy of Sir R. Peel, were unanimously carried. A collection was afterwards made, and the meeting, which was both numerously and respectably attended, then broke up. EXHIBITION of 1851.—The Curriera' Company have voted the sum of 1001. in aid of the Exhibition. We have reason to believe that the sympathy of this corporation towards the Exhibition will not be limit -d to a donation, but that. they are about to take measures for securing an ade quate representation of all .the various preparations and uses of leather fir which Bermondsey, in respect of the tanning, &c., arid the metropolis generally in respect of the general application of leather to manufactures, are deservedly so cele brawl. This appears to be an example which the other cor porate companies of London might follow with advantage. RFPttESENTATION OF CLARE. — According to th e Limerick Examiner, Mr. John D. Fitzgerald, Queen's COun set, is canvassing the electors of the county of Clare, in an ticipation of the resignation of Major Macnamara. • SOUTH. E kSTERN RAI LWAY. -- Yesterday, in con - f:rmity with the terms of this company's separation with the Brighton Company, their trains ceased running from the Bricklayers' Arms Station. THE PREMIER EN ROUTE TO TFIE HIGHLANDS.— At one o'clock P.M., on Tuesday, Llrd John Russell, accom panied by Lady Aussell and clildren, arrived at the Scar Hotel, George-square, Glasgow, direct from Carlisle, via the Caledonian Railway. Tue arrival of the distinguished party was entirely unexpected, and they proceeded through the streets without being recognised. Lu r in g th e a tt eraoun the Premier, accompanied by his lady, privately visited the Exchange, Cathedral, and College, in the first of which his Lordship was immediately recognised, and very warmly re ceived. We under-tand chat tile Noble Lord is en route ter the Highlands, by way of Lochlomond, and that his stay here will not probably extend over the day. Ha is looking wed, and dues not appear to have suffered much from the labours of the past session. From his Lordship being pro vided with the various appurtenances proper to the sports man, it may be presumed that he intends to devote some time to grouse shooting at his Highland quarters. Signor Gardoni has, we understand, been engaged for the winter season to appear in one of his favourite roles artur o at the opening of the new Opera house, L'Oriente, at Madrid. The admirers of this celebrated tenor will be glad to hear that he is engaged for the next season at Her Majesty's Theatre. FATAL OMNIBUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon a fatal accident took place at the end of Cross -street, Ken nington High -street. James Stringer, a tine little fellow, between nine and ten years of age, the son of a master baker, residing in .New-screet, Kennington-road, in return. ing to school after dinner, in company with his brother, who is a little more than his own age,got behind a brewer's dray, proceeding towards the Elephant a , .(1 Castle, and just opposite Cross-street the little fellow started from behind the dray. At this moment a King's Cross omnibus passing in an oppo site direction, knocked him down, and both the near wheels passed over him. Notwithstanding his severe and fatal in jury, he got up from the ground and ran to the foot pave ment, where he fell, and was instantly carried into the shop of Mr. Hicks, a surgeon, opposite. Mr. Hicks, on examining the sufferer, said the injury done to his neck and loins, over which the wheels had passed, were of a fatal character, and that, in fact, he was dying at the time, and, as predicted by that gentleman, a few minutes terminated his sufferings. By this time the father, who had been sent for, arrived, and the driver of the omnibus was taken to the stati,m-house in Kennington, but several persons having declared that not the slightest guilt was attributable to him, and that, in fact, the unfortunate occurrence was perfectly accidental. Mr. Stringer, the father, refused to charge him, and he was libe rated. About a week ago a precisely similar accident took place opposite the Horns Tavern, at Kennington, anoth er a t Highgate, and both equally fatal. TIGHT-.ROPE DANCING OVER A RlVER.—Madame Damassin. a tight-rope dancer, who, on Sunday, in order to attract Visitors to the fete of Chatou, near St. Germain, it was announced would go acros the Seine on a rope drawn from one bank to the other, had a narrow escape from a watery grave in making the attempt. She had crossed safely, but on returning lost her balance and tell into the water. Boats inatnediately put off to her assistance, and after a short time she was rescued from her dangerous posi tion. CURSING AND SWEARING- —A petition is being signed at Marseilles, praying the National Assembly to pass a law against cursing and swearing; it has already received upwards of 300 signatures. " You have protected animals from ill-treatment," says the petition, " and can you permit the name of the Lord to be outraged with impunity in France?" It may be remembered that such a law is in force in England. Th,,, Duke of Richmond, to whom the Chichester Museum is much indebted, has recently enriched the orni thological department, by presenting a valuable coll ect i on o f stuffed birds, among which are fine specimens of the king duck (anal spectabilis) , male and female, from the Ork ne y s; the back skimmer '(rhyn chops nigra), from America; with many others equally ram e and curious. POLITICAL ECONOMY.--I know enough of politi. cal economy to have perceived in the father of the British sc h oo l (Adam Smith), that the wealth of nations is every thing in that school, and the morality and happiness of nat , ns nothing; and in the other writers which have fallen in Iny way, I have found their knowledge so little, and their presumption so great, as to excite in me a greater degree of contempt than I usually feel for anything in the shape cf a book. —Southey. LucK HOSPITA L. —A meeting of the committee and subscribers to this hospital was held yesterday, in the board-room of the hospital, at W esbourne-green, Pad dington. From the report presented it appeared that duri ng the year, 79l patients received the beneficial treatment of the hospital, upwards of 400 of that number having been in patients. The financial condition of the institution, it is stated, has assumed an encouraging aspect during the twelve months. The report of the asylum in connexion with the hospital states that the "Royal Cambridge Wing," lately erected for the moral and industrial training of 80 additional females, was completed at a cost of 5,4501. Afte r alluding to the gratifying results arising from th e re f orma t or y asy l um , the report concludes with a warm expression of gratitude fur the services of the ladies superintending the asylum, and a record of the great benefits derived from the chapel of the in stitution, both in a moral and a pecuniary point of view. Some routine business having closed the proceedings, the meeting separated. ADVANTAGES OF EARLY TRAINING.—The follow ing dialogue is reported to have taken place at the Queen's County Assize, between a medical witness and a barrister: —Mr. Hayes (the barrister) • " If a person, lying on wet straw, were deprived of all the comforts or necessaries of life, would it not hasten death ?" Dr. Edge—" That would greatly depend upon whether he bad been accustomed to them?" Mr. Hayes—" Do you mean to tell us that if a person lived in a horse-pond it would not be injurious to him?" Dr. Edge—" I thi n k no t if he had lived sixty or seventy years in it." BROMPTON lioseiTaL. Yesterday evening a meeting of the managing committee was held in the board•. room of the institution ; Mr. Robert Dickson, M.D., in the chair. The usual r.utine business having been transacted, it was stated that although the "building extension fund" had been most warmly responded to, yet that much remained to be effected before the erection of the eastern wing could be accomplished. This was the more to be regretted, as there were so many patients of both sexes awaiting their several turns of admission. The acting committee had, however, already commenced their efforts in aid of the bazaar, to be held in the ensuing year, as already advertised. Tile present number of patients in the wards of the hospital exceeds eighty. - ALLEGED MURDER IN TUE COMMERCIAL DOCK.--- Yesterday forenoon Mr. William Carter, the coroner, went into an inquiry at the Plough Inn, Lower Deptford-road, Rotherhithe, respecting the death of Hugh Featherstone, aged twenty-one years, a deal porter, lately residing at No. 2-1, Derwin-street, East Greenwich, who, it was alleged, had lost his life by being thrown into the Commercial Docks, Rotherhithe, by a man named David Coleman. Several witnesses were exam Led, and a verdict returned of " Acci dental death." CORE AND BANDON RAILWAY.—The Cork and Bandon Railway is carried across the Vale of Chetwynd by a very handsome viaduct of four large and lofty arches ninety feet high. There are three viaducts on the line, and one tunnel 900 yards i❑ length, and th e cost, when all is com pleted, will be 2540004 MONEY and COIIII6IELiC I Ai. NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Business iu the Produce markets has beep ra!h,r active this week, and all the leading i.tqles have realised full prices. In Sugar of all kinds there have been numerous sales, and the grocers seem to buy fur actual wants. Coffee has been held firmly. Rtce has attracted a little attention among the specu lators, and Tea is better supported than it was some few days since. Cotton, which was heavy, became in greater favour on Thursday, and Wool, notwithstanding tht.re are about 50,00 bales to be offered, is going off briskly. Indigo has a far sale. Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of the 15th instant, $ ate that the shipments of talh,w were proyresping bt , adilf. The last sales were 5,000 casks at 105 to 1074 roubles. ilhe sale of winus, the property of Loui; was held yesterday afternoon, amt realised lull vr the trade taking then, partly from the inrerest lug to them, but it seems that th-y are the geo.sth ot some vin.yairds belonging to his ex-Mje.ty, rather than wines that weed originally intended for his own consumptiod. the signal failure of the Exchange Bsnking Gen panics ut Seteland, established for the purpose or afford ing acoomegodation to the holders of railway shqrsa, would seem to „tier pour er couragement to Li e fotm ,- Lion of any new scheme upon a like prneipe; but the attempt, with moclifictionA, is, Levertheless, making in Frar cc. and as we have always aytsidered that some facilities are needed, and that with pro per caution they would be safely and advantageously provi, ed, we should be glad to hear of the scheme being carried out, and in common with many other!, 4 , 0u1d walch its operation with considerable interest. The estitil.shrwrit in question is to be called the Sees Comptoir des Chemin de Err, the capital being fixed at 80,0004, though the company would commence optla :ions when 32,0001. were subscribed. The novelty of the thing c..nsists in the proposal that the French rail wa; a shall have a given interest in the company by sub ecribing according to their capital, and it is pro posed that borrowers shall receive 60 per cent. on the currant price of the shares deposited, and 75 per cent, on the actual value of the debentures. In England there is no recognised in atitution where even the most limited advance can be obtained on railway property, and loans are mat ters of favour with the bankers of the parties concerned, or of negotiation with private capitalists, and, perhaps worse than all, with advertising bill discounters. With the competition of several ill-conducted share banks in Scotland, and the extraordinary revulsion in railways, we can scarcely wonder at the failure or abandonment of the plan; but once restore confidence in the stability of railways, and let capital accounts be closed, and there would be no reason why a proximate calculation could not at any time be made so as to justit'y legitimate and more general accummo'lation, the same as on Consols. The tone of the English Stock Market has improved to-day, and there is a more cheerful feeling ; still the transactions are not extensive, either fur money or time. Consuls have been 96i for Transfer, and * per cent. shove that range for Account. Bank Stock has been firm at 212 to 212 i, and India Stock steady at 267.
