The incalculable advantages afforded by the prin ciples of "insurance" to the community in general are at length beginning to be appreciated. Various contingencies that might defeat the most sagacious projects, and baffle the most auspicious undertakings, can now be provided for at a moderate, and, what is even more important, an easily ascertained expendi ture. Dangers which in " the good old times " would be encountered every day, which in a moment might reduce families ft= the enjoyment of every comfort that affluence could afford to the deepest poverty and destitution, may now be guarded against, if not with absolute certainty, at least with the clos est approximation thereto. The merchant no longer shudders at the howling storm which may overwhelm his ship or cargo. He is fully secured by solvent un derwriters against all the dangers of the sea. The premium is added to the first cost of his merchan dise, and fairly charged against the consumers. A destructive conflagration may level to the earth the dwelling-houses of many industrious families, with their contents; the parties themselves would be utterly crushed by the calamity, were it not that the Genius of Insurance stands their friend, and causes new and more commodious buildings to rise phoenix like from the smouldering ashes, amply stored with every convenience. But how can this be achieved ? How are the damage 3 averted that in isolated cases would prove absolutely ruinous ? The risk is fairly averaged, the loss in place of falling on an individual is spread over many—what would be fatal to one is un heeded by " the many," who, out of their prosperity, shield their less fortunate neighbour from the unto ward results of the casualty under which he might otherwise suffer severely. Every contributor to an insurance fund of almost any description, al though he may not receive any direct re turn, will at least have thin consolation, that his money has not been wasted or thrown away, but that it has been applied to alleviating the misfortunes of others. We say has been applied, for the calculations of the risks have been so closely and accurately made, the average of uncertainties have been fairly measured, that those who undertake the risks do not receive more than a fair and reasonable return for the amount of capital invested, the premiums received being dis tributed among the various sufferers. We have hitherto not alluded to the most valuable of all species of insurance, by which families are pro tested from the fearful consequences resulting from the death of the husband and father, to w hsse exer tions they are indebted, not merely for the comforts and luxuries, but even for the common necessaries of life. While he is spared he can watch over their welfare, but their happiness rests on a precarious tenure. He may be removed, not by slow and wasting disease, but by a sudden aacident that cuts off the guardian and provider in the full vigour of health and strength, in the pride and bloom of youth. These are cases thet cannot be adequately provided for by the ordinary class of life insurances, for the largeness of the premiums necessarily required (and which every man should pay as far as his means will allow) pre vents him from insuring a very large suas. It may be sufficient to place his wife and children beyond the reach of absolute want, but not to continue the luxuries to which they had been accustomed during his IFetirae. Something more is required to guard against the more obvious dangers to le hick he is ex posed, and also, which no life insurance company now extends to, to give remuneration fur any personal in jury which he may sustain, and which might debar him from pursuing his ordinary occupations for some time. This hiatus has, however, been supplisd by a company, which has just completed the first year of its existence with almost unparalleled success, which has prospered itself, while affording vast relief to ethers, who, but for its beneficial operation, might have been involved in most unpleasant difficulties. The promoters and osiginators of the " Railway Accident Assurance Company" deserved the marked thaelss of thys community fa: the energy and judg- mant dizplayed in filling the void, in providing the much-required desideratum. Every one ackucw . le , - - • t .. artanc , . of being guaranteed against - .: 4 ,..= ~... 4 g E que nc es of 2ny severe accident ..' :,, ;:it'a _ . outlays that must so frequently 1 1.44, 4 44 , e,t, bAthera were great difficUlties to be :441 Oril*edoi' 40 the: preliminary steps could be . t ,,,... , .. , s lry no ordinary energy and de , r • , _-. ~ .; 1 . • .. '.. . s • l' : rcome. One of the chief impediments it.. . -...-• s : :ii ~ ,I ' tl e stamp laws. It was a new case, ,-.. -a, . . -,,- . • a .: - matters safe, stamps had to be placed on • '. o icier of equal amount , to those on life insurances. This was a practical prohibition to any transaction for single journeys, or abort periods, and irele A, we might almost say, to hehi!nal passengers by railway—such as commercial travellers, and the employes of the different companies, who spent a great portion of their lives upon " the rail," and even those whe, residing at easy distances from town, came to their daily avocations by the different metcopelitan lines. Such obstacles, however formidable, will, how ever, vanish before skill and resolution. A deputation waited on the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pointed out the advantage of the system about to be intro duced; and, mirabile dictu, succeeded in satisfying all the objections of the Right Hon. Baronet. Having achieved this triumph, and Sir CHARLES WOOD having assented to a modification of the stamp duties so far as the company was concerned, a certain per centage on the premiums being paid in lieu of the actual stamp, the rest was easy; Parliament readily assented to the Bill, by which it was provided that a token, issued at the incredibly low price of Id., 2d., or al , according to the class of the passenger, should have all the force and effect of a duly stamped policy, and should entitle the party receiving it to the pay ment of 2001., 5001_, or 1,0001., in case of loss of life, or a proportionate remuneration for all damages in the event of any accident not actually fatal. The rates for permanent assurance were equally, or if possible, more reasonable. Periodical tickets were issued to insure 1,0001., for passengers by any class or any railway fur a single month, quarter, half-year, or year, and it is almost unnecessary to say that many thousands availed themselves of this novel description of insurance, and with what benefit to themselves will be seen from the advertisement which will be feund in another 'Art of this day's impression. No less than 30 persons insured by the company, many of them for the single journeys, had not only the requi site medical attendance and care necessary during their illness provided, but received sums varying from 21. to 2101. as compensation for their injuries. These persons are in a position to speak feelingly of the advantages afforded by the "Railway Accidents Assurance Company," and the prompt and satisfac tory manner in which their claims were disposed of. When such facilities are given to all, that the policy can be received with the ticket, and for a few addi tional pence—the coppers that are usually wasted —we cannot conceive how any can neglect taking the obvious precaution. Strange, however, as it may appear, out of more than sixty millions of passengers by rail only 110,074 availed themselves thereof, in addition to the 2,808 holders of periodical tickets. This can only be accounted for by the consideration that the society is only in the second year of its existence. It has, however, made good progress, and we have no doubt that it will make rapid strides until assurance shall be the rule and not the exception, and the tokens of the society shall be issued by millions in place of tens of thousands. As it is, we are happy to find that the profits of the society have not only been sufficient to cover the expenditure, including the sums paid for compensation, amounting to 2,4801., but to leave a balance of clear profit equivalent to 8 per cent. on their paid-up capital.. Tney have thus al ready attained a portion of the success they have so eminently merited; their society has been prosperous ab ir.itio. An occurrence has recently taken place in the west of Ireland—not the first, we believe, of a simi lar character, which has happened, in what are termed, par . excellence, " the distressed districts" of that unhappy country—which may well attract the public attention, and which, if, it can be sustained in law, for a single moment, imperatively demands a speedy legislative remedy, to guard against the pos sibility of the recurrence of a proceeding so dis graceful to all parties concerned, which appears to be as illegal as it is, unquestionably, inhuman. It appears that a creditor had recovered judgment against the guardians of the Ballina Union. We be lieve that the debt was perfectly fair, and are willing to concede that the creditor bad himself urgent demands to meet, which ren dered it of importance to collect his assets. He could not, however, obtain any satisfaction. The guardians were not personally liable, and rates could not be collected sufficient to meet the current expen diture, much less to provide for former debts. The creditor was impatient, while no step was taken to secure his demand. A writ of fieri facias was ac cordingly issued to the Sheriff of the county cf Sligo, who not only seized the bedding and furniture in two of the auxiliary workhouses situated within his baili wick, the only night covering of the miserable and destitute paupers, whose wretched condition con signed them to the tender mercies of the union workhouse, and other articles usually considered sale able, but took possession of the wearing apparel in actual use by more than a thousand children. These innocent victims were not stripped of their garments, but they were detained within the walls of the work house by the sheriff's officers, lest they might abscond with the valuable property. For six days, from Friday, the 30th of August, until Wednesday, the 4th of September, they were thus incarcerated and de prived of the usual exercise so essential to their health, and which alone relieved the tedium of their melancholy condition. They were not liberated until the Poor-law Inspector made himself personally responsible that "none of the clothes would be made away with, if the officer would permit the children to leave the house for the purpose (I exercise," a request which, after some difficulty, was conceded, unde r the stipulation that the unfortunate children should not be permitted to wander into the adjoining county of A/ayo, " where the powers of the humane officer would not extend." This was granted, it being plainly intimated that the children would otherwise " be stripped of their clothing," and left to go whither they pleased in perfect nakedness. Now there can scarcely be a question as to the illegality of this conduct. The law, absurd as it is in many respects, could never sanction so monstrous a proceeding. There is express authority on this point, that wearing apparel in actual use cannot be seized. One of the most able and learned Judges that adorns the bench of justice, Baron PARKE, in " Sunbolfe v. Alford" (3 Meeson and Welsby, 254), decided that " wearing apparel on a man's person (even if it does not extend to goce:s in the possession of the person) cannot bs taken under a fieri facias, or under an extent." And the rule would clearly apply to the case row under notice. This is the first act which would justly subject the parties concerned to heavy penalties; but there has been even a grosser violation of the law. More than 1,000 children have been falsely imprisoned for six days, or threatened with personal assaults, if they attempted to leave the workhouses, and by parties who could by no possibility have any authority over them. The eyes of the officer might possibly ha opened if so many different actions were instituted against him on behalf of the aggrieved iufantr, and he might learn that " humanity (as well as honesty) might possibly prove the best policy." We cannot feel much sympathy for the creditor who re sorted to such means to recover his demands ; but some different remedy should be provided in such cases. He was, perhaps, stimulated by the success which attended a firmer proceeding of a similar de scription, when the benevolent SAMUEL GURNEY pur chased the clothing of the paupers, at a sheriff's sale, to prevent their being cast naked en the world. The feelings of humanity are not to be outraged by a repetition of such conduct, nor are kind-hearted strangers to be driven to pay debts with which they have no concern, to prevent their fellow -creatures from enduring the most heartrenaing privations and sufferings. EXTENSIVE AND ALARMING r IRE AT CIIISWICK, Last night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, an alarming fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Robert Butler, chandler and beersbop keeper, Bennett-street , Chiswick. The fire was discovered by the police, and an express was dispatched to town for the engines, which were on the spot with all pos sible expedition, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent G. R. Staples, of the King-street station. The house of Mr. Butler, which is a clout& house, is 65 feet long, and was soon a burning mass ; and notwithstanding the exertions of the firemen, the fire communicated to the adjoining house, occu pied by Mr. C. Wealthy, and from thence to three houses, 11, 12, and 13, Devonshire-road. The houses of Mr. Butler and Mr. M'Carthy were completely gutted, and the other houses were considerably damaged. The cause of the fire is unknown, and the amount of the damage cannot at present be ascertained. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has pre sented the Rev. J. T. Layard, BLA , eurate of Mahon, York shire, to the rectory of Swafield, Norfolk.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Legitimatist and ultra reactionary journals, such as the Assemblie Nationale, admit how grie vously their hopes thlve been disapp. inted by what they call the timid conduct of the Councils. General of the Departments in not declaring boldly in favour of Monarchy, instead of recommending, as the great majirity of them have done, the "legal" revision of the Constitution, a course of proceeding to which not even the most rigid hepublican can object, and for which the fratners of the Con stitution have themselves provided. It never occurs to these reactionary gentlemen that the probability is that the members of the Councils. , General have given utterance to their real sentiments, and that if they have not boldly declared in favour of Monarchy it is because they have no desire for a Monarchical restoration. The Ordre, the most mode rate of the Monarchial papers, is evidently preparing for a decent submission to the Republican form of government as the permanent Government of France; it says— " Persons of extreme notions affected to fear that the General Councils would have servilely adopted this simple formula the prolongation of the powers of Monsieur the President of the Republic.' They have done nothing of the kind. This solution' has not been systematically excluded, it is true, but neither has it been eptcificaly indicated. Everywhere, with one or two exceptions oLly, the local Assemblies have confided the question to the prudence, the in telligence, and the patriotism of the Great Assembly, which is the expression of the sovereign will. It fol lows, tbea, from tho sum total of these resolutions, so far as they have gone, that France partakes of our opi nion as to the vices of the Constitution, and that ohe ardently desires to see it modified as soon as possible; but that recognising the salutary force which resides in law, even when imperfect and censured, she recommends that all the prescriptions of law be observed, so far as may be consistent with public safety. Thee simultane ous and concordant votes of the General Councils do not, it is true, bring us, like a miraculous discovery, the desired solution; but they emphatically confirm an opi nion taken up almost instinctly by people of common sense, that the Constiaition in its present state cannot and ought not to Lye, and that it must be either amelio rated or changed, by such means as shall the least put internal peace in jeopardy.' JUGF, one cf the founders of the S ;ciety of the lOch December, has withdrawn from the Society, because of the attempts made to turn it into a " political capital." The declared object of the society on its foundation was merely to commemorate the anniversary of the 10th of December by an annual dinner. The Union, the organ of the Berryer section of the 1,- , gitimatistF, has the following on what it calls the policy of Wiesbaden : " Some journals effect to cast doubt upon the policy of Wiesbaden; our habits of reserve cannot prevent us from once more given our opinion on the suhtsct. We comprehend independence ol spirit, and character gulag to the length of contradicting the most elevated wishes and most acknowledged rights; but what we do net comprehend, i, an efThrt me de to mislead public opinion with respect to the ideas and principles that any man might think himself bound to oppose. Thus, they to wheal the policy cf Wiesbaden appears bad, cannot, in oar opinion, misrepresent its sense; if they oppose it, they oeght to oppose it, such as it is; they have no right to falsify it. Lot us again repeat that the polrcy of Wiesbaden is, firmness, with respect to principles; eenciiistion, with respect to persons. That is the whole t'_‘ory arid all the practice which 1,100 or 1,200 political ve7eens have heard. tt hil=t leaving to those who be lieve in the absolute of their ideas, the con trover4 of tt e nature of this policy, wo do riot ju. !go it, as far as we are experienced, to be necessary. We have, for rule, to personally lay aside cur interests in matters of general utility, and to pay attention in our conduct to authority and experience. If the question teas to write a chapter of public right on the sovereignty cf ;he people we should no', perhaps, want ideas to point out the folly and chimerical nature of a theory with which ideas and states have been overturned for the last 300 years We should also, perhaps, have some reasons to give against the admitted falsehood of that pretended appeal to the people in which no one places credit. But for that very reason, a discussion cn such subjects would be et present puerile, and it is evident that all policy, at the time in which we live, is a policy cf conduct; our utmost care is to seek for truth in all its applications, and to set aside the absolute part of systems, and above all the mysticism of fictions. There is a thing, besides, which from time immemorial has outweighed theories, and that is right; and an illusion with respect to right is never possible even when it is violated. In old France, society was constituted and classified in such a way that right would have always had its certain and public ex pression. In the new society, a society scattered about, where the sovereignty is a question of plurality, right has no longer the same manitestation; it is: not far that reason abolished, for right doss not die, but scciety can be exposed to depart from it, and it is that which we see in the fact of revolutions. But that is the reason why it would be illogical and even criminal to make right subordinate to the will, decision, blindness, or even reason of the people, that is to say, of a portion of the people, were it even the greater part. Right, is what it is, or it does not exist. Only it may come to pass that any given society may ever look or admit, may vio late or proclaim, the right; lett ei doe.. eat teak: it or un make it. That is all that is required for us in the way of observation to touch with the finger the vanity and peril of this theory of an appeal to the people, of which the prin ciple is a lie, and the practice an impossibility. Be sides, the question is not there. At Wiesbaden it altogether turned en the conduct to be followed—firm • ness and conciliation: such is the policy decided on. I will always give you an example of it,' said Count de Chambord. And in the morning he had proceeded to the foot of the altar, followed by 300 Legitimist French men to pray for his cousin. It was a noble word after a noble act. What signify, then, at present, all these efforts to deceive the public as to the disposition and de termination of the Count de Chambord ? Let any one attack that disposition and determination, if it is thought fit—we have no objection; but let them not be misre presented, for that would bo an act of deceit, against which would to inscribed a vast amount of testimony henceforward acquired to the grave, moderate, concili ating, and firm policy which is to save France." The correspondent of Galignani's Messenger gives the following account of the departure of the risen- DENT from Cherbourg on the 9th : . _ ‘• Whatever feeling — of disappointment might have been experienced by the President of the Republic at his night reception here, his day departure must have removed it, and satisfied him as to the good feelings of th, - ) real inhabitants of the town towards him. He left the, Maritime Prefecture this morning at about nine o'clock. Thousands of persons were assembled in the st:eets through which he had to pass, and by whom he was unanimously hailed with loud cries of Vive le President!' Vivo Napoleon!' not ac other cry did I hear, and I was close to the tHe cf his carriage w.til he reached the triumphal arch, where he had been received at his entrance. At pint ilia Maritime Prefect, the superior Duval and military authorities, with the mayor, his deputies, &e., were iu waiting t, tz.k.i leave of him. He merely stop ped a few mitinte3, and expressed in a few words the _ratification ho felt at his visit, and then proceeded to St. Lo. In less than half an hour after his departure a fleet of about fifiy cf the most beautiful English yachts that the art of ship-building could produce were under weigh, and directing their course for Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. The Eal of Wilton, the commr,dore, in his beautiful schooner, the Zarifa, saluted the Ad • aairal. The salute was returned by the Friedland with 17 guns. What a change has come over the spirit of the scene! what a contrast between tc-day and yester day! Yesterday the streets of the place were crowded to excess, and full of hustle; to-day a ten-poundtr might have teen fired off on the quay without causing s long list of killed and wounded to be recorded. I cannot help hero rep:tying the kindness and attention which my countrymen have met with from every ot.o in and out of office here. Not only has every request made to them been cheerfully graute.l, but they have been sought out in order to give them every facility to siew all that is worth seeing in the place, and to be present wherever anything in the shape of a fele was going on." The PRESIDENT of the Republic, at the request of M. DAnu, representative of the department of the Manche, has, in order to benefit the town of Cher bourg, directed that the fleet shall not leave the roadsted before Sunday, ithe 15th. Algiers journals to the sth have come to hand. The cholera had completely ceased at Bonn, and in the circle of Bougia its intensity had considerably diminished ; but it was prevailing at Biskra, and in the district comprised between that town and Batna, though hopes were entertained that it would soon dis appear. The attempts which had been made to naturalise the cotton plant in Algeria appeared certain to be crowned with success. In the province of Oran the colonists had suffered from drought, and the Minister of War had ordered advances to be made to them in corn and money. A mass for the repose of the soul of King Louis PIIILIPPE was celebrated at Raffigny, the residence of M. DUPIN, President of the National Assembly, who with Madame DuriN, both in deep mourning, and the servants and labourers of the Chateau assisted at the service. A mass for the same object was celebrated on Mon day last, in the parish church of Fontainebleau, at which a number of artists attended.

A letter of the Bi.h.from Hamburgh says :—" From the movements which took place on the sth, when General WILLISEN placed his troops in new positions, a serious affair was expected between the two armies; but all that took place was a little engage ment between a Danish corps of cavalry and three battalions, supported by a corps of chasseurs, and a half battery of artillery of Holstein. The Danes withdrew behind their entrenchments. To render several military positions unattackable, General DE li. - Hocu has covered with water large tracts of ground in Schleswig, which intimate more and more his intention to pass the viinter in that province. Almost all the islands belonging to Schleswig have been successively occupied by the aini,la troops. Most of the former i;ublic functionaries have been re placed by others favourable to the Danish cause. Schleswig may now be looked on as re-organized on the administrative system a the other Danish pro vinces. • A Danish flag of truce came on the 6th to inform the authorities of Neustadt that free entrance and departure would be permitted to Holstein vessels displaying the naval flag of the kingdom. Prussia continues to furnish officers to the Holstein army ; four new ones have just arrived from the 18th Regi ment of the Line. According to news from Rends burg, the reception given at bead quarters to the apostles of universal peace was not very satisfactory. It can be conceived that these gentlemen could scarcely be welcomed there, when both officers and men are so anxious for another battle with the Danish troops." SWITZERLAND. The Allgenzeine Zeitung publishes the following letter from Chur, dated Sept. 3 :-- "Great alarm was occasioned last night at half-past two o'clock, by the falling of the rocks at FohLerg, Nearly the entire population, roused from their beds by the fearful crash of the rocks almost an hour previous to their fall, had quitted the village, and stood oa the plain beyond awaiting the awful catastrophe. " The night was tolerably light; suddenly a tremend ous crash was succeeded by thick clouds of dust, and large masses of rock were crecipitatei from the heights, apparently upon the village beneath; so fearful was the noise, that all concluded that the village Ras buried, but on rushing to the village the inhabitalits found a huge wall of rocks piled up at the very extremity of the village. " about twenty of the blocks were as large as a small house, and innumerable others were of rather less di mensions. Is is possible that these masses may stand fir some time; but the danger is imminent, as they are piled immediately beneath the precipice." ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin states, from Parma, 4th inst., that the DUKE intends levying 100 men on the class of 1851, and that a large tower shall be built in the centre cf the citadel, in order to overawe the town. An Austrian customs' inspector has arrived at Massa from Milan, fur the purpose of organising the custom-house service of the new Austro-Modenese Union. The custom-house are to be placed on three lines, both on the Piedmontese and Tu s can f ron tiers, so that travellers will have t o p ass e i g h t custom houses between Pietrasant a and Samna. The Croce di Sawicz of Turin, of the sth, an nounces that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has been named a Field-Marshal by the Emperor of AUSTRIA. Sir G. HAMILTON, the British Minister at Florence, died in that city on the 3d inst. The Milan Gazette of the 6th announces that, in conscluence of the disastrous inundations which de stroyed all the crops in the province of Brescia, on the 14th ult., numerous subscriptions were opened at Milan, th e aggregate amount of which (about 50,000 f.) had been immediately sent to the relief of the unfortunate inhabitants of that province. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 7th publishes an order of the day, addressed to the National Guard of 'Turin by their Commandant, inviting them to contribute to the relief of Brescia. The authorities of Milan have invited contractors to send in their proposals for the erection of three small fort:, to be constructed at a distance of 1.000 metres from Milr.n, opposite the Ticino and Vercelli gates and the Porta :Nuova. The total cost of these works is laid at five millions of francs, and they are to be completed by 1854. The Statuto of Florence, of the 4th, states from Rome that Sig. PINELLI, the Envoy Extraordinary from Sardinia, has been very well received by the Court of Rome, and that the pending difficulties are likely to be se.tled to the satisfaction of both parties. The Giornale di Roma of the 2 , 1 mentions a dis turbance which took place on the 25th ult. at Monti• celii, in the district of Tivoli.. It appears that three individuals having been arrested, an attempt was made to rescue them, wlich, however, proved unsuc cessful. A French detachment of 30 men arrived soon after and restored order. SICILY. The trial of the sixteen persons accused of political crimes before the Criminal Court of Palermo, has terminated in the acquittal of thirteen, the condem nation of one to the galler, and of two to death. The Execution of the judgment on these two last Las bon suspended, and the Court has expressly recommended them to the Royal clemency. WALKER TESTIMONIAL FUND. The committee of the Walker Testimonial Fund met this day, and we find that the subscriptions are coaling in freely from the provinces. Ministers and Governments, in their desire to make interest and secure support, may neglect their duties to the deserving. men who serve mankind in other ways than their own,—but it is well that whenever they do this, the public—who are the parties directly interested—should un dertake to repair the wrong. This manner of reproof is always open in the case cf unmerited slight,—and 'whether it prove effective or not as a rebuke to forgetfulness or self interest on the part of those in office, it is a dignified ex pression of the public' feeling. We are glad to hear that there is scme intention of making a demonstration of this kind in favour of Mr. George Alfred Walker. Few men in our day have established a better claim than be to the grati tude •of the inhabitants of London. At the hazard of hie life and to the serious detriment of his practice as a eurgeon, Mr. Walker has succeeded in effecting a most important re form. In the pub is service, be has descended into the grave yards of the metropolis with a boldness and self-devotion worthy of a Howard. He made himself familiar with all their horrors; that he might bring back from the charnel helve the sec:et of those endemic pests which rage so fearfully in the more crowded districts. To the energy with which he conducted these investigations, and to the lu cidity and power with which he laid the results before the world, we trace the first awakening of public interest in the questioh of extramural interments —now decided in fuvoer of that, public. To his unwearied industry and tact, aided by a liberal press, we arc indebtel for the powerful convic tions which afterwards forced the Government to put an end to such abominations, and interpose its authority in order to guard against their return. It might reasonably be ima gined that the courageous reformer would be employed to see his reforms ea/lied into effect. But the state adopts Mr. Walker's ideas —not Mr Walker. Others are appointed to execute his plans, so laboriously and painfully prepared. To repair in some sort this wrong, as we have said - or at least to offer a graceful and becoming protest against it—is the object, we believe, of the proposed testimonial.—ilthenceum. The General Post-office a France has announced in this country that it will receive tenders for the supply of 6,300,000 kilogammes of coals, being for one year's con sumption. And COMMEVLC IAL NEWS. Gill', TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotten at Liverpsol yesterday- s era esti mated at from 4,000 to 5,000 bales, of which 700 Ame rcan were taken for export and 300 on speculation. The mar ket closed heavily, and prices rather in favour of buyers.—The Share A.larket closed rather firmer. The arrivals from abroad are few irr, number, and do not furnish any news of importance. In the Amsterdam market, on the 10:h inst., Dutch stock was firm, the Two and-a-Half per Cents. being 571 to 3-16. At. Frankfort, on the 9th inst., Austrian Masllies were 91- . 1 for Morey, sad 91-g for Account. Spanish Three per Cents. were 334 to 1. From certain appearance:, which during the la t two or three days have become more decided, we are led to infer that the sound condition of the Money Market and the prospect of further imports of bullion, far outweigh. ing the sum which we may be called upon to pay for foreign grain, are producing practical results, and stimulating action on the part of those who have long suffered their accumulated surpluses to remain inactive, or so placed as to yield a very limited return in interest, but be readily available when needed. The circum stances brought under public attention by the press, and the opinion expressed almost unanimously by the writers on monetary and commercial sub jects that matters were seldom in a sounder position, tell gradually, and bring in capitalists as buyers of securities or staples. The first indication of a speculative disposition—and we must draw a proper distinction between wholesome and undue speculation— was in cotton. This article was run up partly on legi timate grounds, partly upon the strength of exaggerated reports, and, having served the turns of the jobbers, has become much quieter, and more on a par with the demand. The staple which followed WAS sugar, and of this immense purchases have been made both for consumption and exportation to the United States. Tea, coffee, end other articles have fol lowed at a little distance, and are all yielding fuller prices to the importers. Wool sells freely at the public sales, and Indigo, there is no doubt, will go off equally well next month. This branch gone through by one class of dealers, another have btea directing their at• tention to transferable Securities, and although the Funds, being comparatively at a high range, have re mained duller than for a long time past, and some of the principal jobbers have been absent from town, we this day perceive a change in an upward direction. It is to Railway Shares we must look, however, as having most sensibly improved, and from two or nree causes. Alter a lengthened period of prostration end doubt, a great increase of traffic, and far clearer elucida tion of accounts, have had the effect of inducing many parties, who have for a year or two been largely ope rating for a fall, to turn their operation•. By closing Bear accounts, they Lave thus given that first impulse to the market which, once set going, receives an occasional push from Lend fide buyers, who, time out of mind, have neglected to buy when they could do so cheapest. The result is, that railway property now looks more cheerful than it has done for a long per . iod. Joint-Steck Bank, Mining, and other investments have likewise been sought for, and a new field has been opened by the prospect of some arrange ment of the Spanish Foreign Deb'. These, though brie fly noted, are the significant signs of the say, and it will be pleasing to find heres.fter that they have been right. We simply note them at present, and leave them to the estimation of reflecting and experienced parties. The Funf's have gone higher again to-•day, ar.d the account has now boon arrang(d. The fLictuation last account was vafectly trivial. Consols have realised this morning 96,1 to 96i II for Transfer, and there have been several good money purchases. For October 15 the quotations have been 96i Bank Stock has been marked 21.14, Exchequer-bills remain at G3s. to 665. premium. The Foreign Market likewise is brisker. Spanieh Five per Cents. have rallied to 19k Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 33? 4. Mexican are 29i a for the end of the month, and Venezuela 32 to 4. In Railway Shares the chief transactions have been in Great Western, South-Western, Midland, North Staf ford, Great Northern, South-Eaeern, and the York and North Midland, all of which have further advanced. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under:- 1850. 1849. Groat Western North-Western South-Wetter. Brighton .... Midland South-Eastern QUARTER TO THREE. A large failure has occurred in the Share Market; liabilities 15,0001. to 20,0001., and falling in amounts of 1,1001., 1,000/., 7001, &c., upon different parties. ... 96 i 963. I Consuls ... .. ~.

St. John Del Rey 15 HOLYHEAD AND DUBLIN MAIL BOATS.—Four steamers are employed by the Holyhead Company for the mail service between Holyhead and Kingstown, viz., the St. Columbia, one of the Admiralty packets, and purchased by the contractors; the Eblana and Iron Duke, built of iron, at the expense of the company; and the Llewellyn, also pur chased from the Admiralty. In consequence of the latter vessel, however, undergoing some repairs, the Banshee has been lent by the Admiralty until the Llewellyn is ready for service rgain. Ihe following is the official statement of the working of the contract boats : —Banshee 37 passage-, short est 3h. 50m , longest 4h. 48m., average 4h. 7m. St. Colum bia, 41 passengers, shortest 4h. 11m., longest sh. 26m., average 4h. 3 m. Eblana, 44 passages, shortest 4h. 20m., longest 41). 50m., average 4h. 34m. The Iron Duke, one passage in 4h. 59m , with a light air. The greatest speed of the Banshee was 14,61 miles, lowest 11.666 miles, the average speed being only 13.6 miles per hour. The average rate of the Columbia is only 12.4 miles, and that of the Eblana and Iron L uke is under the contract speed, which is 12 knots per hour, the Iron Duke having attained little more than 11 miles per hour. THE NI.W PACKET STATION AT LOWESTOET.-OHe of the new steam-ships, the Prince, designed by Captain Andrews, the harbour- master at Lowestoft, for the contem plated packet service between that port and Ilarnburgb, made an experimental trip down the river on Tuesday. She is a line stately-looking vessel of 446 tons burden. Her style f build, engines, and internal arrangements have had the benefit of every improvement in naval architecture, and are such apparently a 5 will secure, as far as possible, speed, se curity, and accommodazion. Leaving her moorings at half past ten o'clock, with several eminent engineers and other scientific gentlemen on board, she eteameei down the river below Sea-reach in excellent at) le. Luring her pro gress she had frequent opportunities of testing her speed with th e fast river steamers, and in every instance she exhibited a superiority of rate. Her speed over the measured mile ex ceeded fifteen miles an hour. She is fitted with engin es o f 2 00-horsa lower, with oscillating cylinders Ly Penn. They worked with the greatest ease, scarcely an vibration befog perceptible. The wheels are 20 feet in di ame t er , eac h w h eel being fitted with twelve improved floats, and during the trip the average number of revolutions were thirty a minute. Mere dimensions are—length, 160 feet; breadth, 24 feet; and depth, 13 fest ; and no expense teems to have been spared in rendering her a first-class packet. , LLO YD'S SEHP G.—( THIS DA / LoNo us, ts,i pr.
