Every additional particular received from Jutland' relative to the battle of Idstedt confirms the ac curacy of the first intelligence. The victory proves to have been altogether on the side of the Danes—the Schleswig-Holstein army having been for the time completely routed, and compelled to retreat in extra ordinary confusion. Of course the partisans of the invading coalition are endeavouring to put the best 'face possible upon the transaction. To' . this end they are striving to divert attention from. the enormous losses experienced by the German forces during the recent engagement, by speaking confidently as to the speedy turn of for. tune between the belligerents. They maintain, for example, that the. Schleswig-Holsteiners have still an army of 25,000 good troops concentrated pt Wittensen ; and that besides this, no less than 16,000 more are under YON DER TARN, in Angela. Making allowances, however, for the s exaggeration necessary to cover the extent of late disasters, the estimate' thus formed is altogether too extravagant for credibility. Vox DER TANN,: it will be remembered, was himself in the con flict which took place on the :25th instant at Idstedt. Indeed, it is. reported that, together with GERHARD and WILLISPLN, he received a wound or two during the course of that battle. However that may be, it. is certain that be and the men under his command were involved in the discom fiture recently encountered by the Commander-in- Chief of the Schleswig-Holstein armament. Con sequently his 16,00 soldiers (supposing as many to be still actually under his cyders) must be depressed by the recollection of +het great defeat which by this time has carried dismay into the Ministerial Chambers at Berlin, and to the Royal Cabinet at Potsdam. Little need, therefore, be said in reference to the succour likely to be received by the German cause from these 16,000 soldiers at• Angela. As to the main army of 25,000 " good troops," so terMed,. said to be . concen trated at Wittensen, scarcely larger credence can be accorded to the ataternent,Of th e i r w h erea bo uts, or 41 0 ;USP,kl' lean of their existence . Kno w i ng th e d ou b ts enter fe:...en„„reer7ta:i:,d`to this moment as to the politive at 74p t occupied the, head • querters of the olatehaere, we may we ll b e care f u l i re aceepting at ACIOWS the assertion that AS many as 25,000 A . \ -i t 11 , , I I k( ' .11> men, and these, moreover, " good troops," are actually collected together at Witten.sen. What appears to be wholly undeniable, however, in reference to the Schleswig-Holstein army, is the fact that those portions "ef it engaged at Idstedt (constituting almost the entire of the German forces dispatched against Denmark by the Coalition) evinced on that occasion the most stubborn and resolute bravery. This circumstance, nevertheless, while it removes all disgrace from the fact of their discom fiture, enhances in a very considerable degree the glory acquired by .. the Danes in that achievement. When it is considered that courage of the most bril liant character was displayed by the forces opposed to those under the command of General KEOGH, the importance of the triumph secured by his generalship to the banners of Denmark becomes materially in creased and exalted in our estimation. The victory of the Danish captain, then, appears before us in its true light, not as an accidental success obtained over an inferior body of opponents, but as a heroic conquest over the most formidable obstacles—a conquest proving his own capacities as a commander, and the strength of that patriotic devo tion which seems likely to be more effectual than foreign interposition in maintaining the rights of the Danish sovereignty. A vigorous employment of the advantages already secured to the Danes by the battle of Idstedt must perceptibly tend to accelerate the settlement of existing differences. Prussia would of course, without ques tion, exult in an opportunity - or so fir prolonging the war as to enable her soldiers in some measure to reduce their recent losses ; yet, considering the steps already taken by the mediating Governments, we cannot but feel satisfied that every effort will be made in order to bring the conflict to a conclusion as speedily as possible. Especially are we disposed to think ,thus when the sanguinary nature of the late engagement is borne in recollection. Even the darkest estimate given in the first intelligence appears to have been scarcely exaggerated in any particular, the number of•killed and 'wounded being from 3,000 to 4,000. After a victory of this decisive character, it h - • were strange indeed if the Danes relaxed in their efforts to insist upon the claims of their Government ; equally strange if the Schleswig-Holsteiners pre served the same confidence' in their energies ; and most strange of all if the rest of the powers of Christendom, or some 'of them at least, did not make some endeavours to prevent the recurrence of similar carnage. From all these considerations we are disposed to look more hopefully to the speedy and satisfactory settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein question—a question hitherto of almost intermi nable difficulty. Gladly shall we recognize the day when this protracted quarrel is brought to a con clusion, the opposite demands of the belligerents being reconciled not by bloodshed but diplomacy. There is a scene in The Critic in which all the par ties on the stage are involved in what Mr. PUFF accu rately termed a "dead lock." Each person, although fully armed, with dagger impending over his enemy's bosom, is afraid to strike, lest the slightest move went on his part might produce a fatal blow from his antagonist. None can conceive how the diffi culty can be evaded, or what is to be the next step in the drama. Such is the position in which the House of Commons is now pl a ced, through its own ab surdly conflicting decisions, and the inconsistent and •vacillating conduct of the First Lord of the Trea sury. Lord Joule &mem. first declares that the subject " alone ought to be treated as a strictly judi cial quettion," and in the very same speech he pro nounces his opinion on a point which at that time was coram non judice—which had not been argued, which was not even under discussion at the time. The question before the House was, whether Baron ROTLISCHILD should be sworn on the Old Testament, that being the form which he declared to be most binding on his conscience, and the Premier takes the opportunity of declaring his opinion on a portion of the oath itself, declaring " that it is not in the power of the House to dispense with the words ' on the true faith of a Christian,' and that whenever the question came to be debated, he should feel it his duty to vote against the omission of these words from the oath." This was certainly not according to the usual or ordinary practice of the occupants of the bench of justice—we doubt if any one of " the great unpaid" would venture to pronounce his judgment in anticipation, before hearing the defence, or before the question had even been opened on either side. IVe have heard of but one precedent for such a course, and we might almost have fancied that the venue was changed from St. Stephen's to a place not to be mentioned to ears polite. "'Gnosius hcee Rhadamanthus habet durissimu regna Castigatque audaque dulos,subigaque fateri. " There the Noble Lord presides, with despotic au thority judging according to the letter, and not to the spirit of the law, first pronouncing his decision and then hearing arguments. It is indeed difficult to conceive on what ground the Noble Lord could have been induced to adopt a proceeding in every respect so extraordinary, and so contrary to his usual practice. It can only be accounted for in one way, viz., that the Minis try in general, and himself more especially, not only as its head, but as one of the Representatives of the city of London, would ensure serious obloquy if, after keeping the matter in suspense during three Parliamentary sessions, thi difficulty should be ca pable of .a solution so very' simple and obvious. It was, therefore, to be resisted by every means, per fas nut nefas, to be made a Cabinet question ; and it was necessary that a pretty decisive intimation should be given to the "Ministerial hangers-on" and tir e waiters on Providence," to show in what ma'aner their votes are to be given, and to guard against their committing themselves in any manner. Let us now see into what a tissue of inconsisten cies and absurdities the House has fallen under the guidance of the Noble Lord.. Furst, it was decided that Baron ROTHSCHILD was elititled to be sworn on the. Old Testament, that being the form which he de clared to be most binding on his conscience. The practical effect of this resolution was that the sub stance 'and not the form of the oath was the only matter of importa.nce. But when every single portion of the promissory. part of the oath had been taken, when the, Honourable Baron merely emitted the last words, " on the true faith of a Christian," which are clearly but a portion of " the jurat," " the sanc tion," or " confirmation" of the oath, and which the fact pf the rejection of the New Testament by the Hon. Gentleman distinctly proved, would necessarily be rejicted as not " binding on the conscience," he was again ordered to withdraw, these words being considered essential, and part of the " substance." the' House thus expecting that a person swearing on the Old Testament should do so " on the true faith of a Christian." Again, the seat for the city of London most either be full or vacant, and if the latter, the citizens are most assuredly entitled to claim the immediate issue of a writ for • the election of a representative. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Abingdon accordingly moved that a new writ should be issued. This was met by an amend. meat, proposed by • the.lion. Member for the city of Oxford; " that the seat of Baron Liorumpm cniwn, as one of the Members for the city of London; is full."' One or the other of these should - clearly be carried. "If the seat was not fall," there was a va cancy in the representation, and the writ should be issued. But both were rejected, the amendment by a majority of 104, there being 221 to 117 against it ; while the original motion was —not withdrawn —but negatived by a majority so d ec i s i ve t h at no division ' was taken. How, then, is the House to be extricated from this " pretty considerable fix" in which it is involved? Through whose agency is the desideratum to be at tained ? The Attorney-General is the Deus ex ma- Mimi, who is to solve every difficulty by some bril liant move, the nature of which is to be explained to-morrow, but which is not to be discwsed until Monday—or rather, to carry out the original parallel, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman is to enact the part of " Beefeater," and, "in the nem: of the QUEEN, to command them all to drop their swords ' and daggers." ,Although we anticipate some tolerably I simple contrivance, we confess to no ordinary anxiety Co learn the course about to be adopted. We fear that it will afford.o new•illustration of the "par- turient mountain," that the forthcoming offspring: may not be - worthy t of the, intense expectation which tt has excited.—th tiiiik c htiWever; bridle our cu riosity, And sttiently.awiiit the promised explanAtion, which will at least achieve one great object, that it will procrastinate and delay the proceedings, so that the supplies may be all voted, and Parliament pro rogued, before a new election for the city of London, when the triumphant return of Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD for the third time would afford a grand moral demonstration which would not be slighted or despised. Perhaps the rather significant hint of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the Member for Mid dlesex had no trifling effect in producing this further postponement. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly on Monday disposed of all the arti cles of the budget of expenses, and voted the budget as a whole by a majority of 243, the numbers being, Ayes, 398 ; Noes, 155. The Aloniteur du Soir publishes the following an nouncement : " The nub-committee appointed by the committee on the budgot has made As report on the subject of con ceding the working of the Paris and Lyons Railway to a company. The report recommends the concession on the following conditions: Ninecy-nine years' lease; guarantee of 4 per cent, for 60 years on the capital ex• pended ; the capital fixed at a maximum of 190 millions; division of the profits with the state over and above 8 per cent.; reimbursement to the state of 65 millions, fif teen in cash and fifty in annuities, with interest. The above only relates to the line from Paris to Lyons. The state to commence immediately the works on the Lyons to Avignon Riilway. The Minister will demand a credit of 18 millions on the estimates of the year 1850, and a simi lar credit on the succeeding one, for the works of that important portion which will join the Ocean to the Mediterranean. M. Vitet has been named reporter, and will at the next sitting communicate to the Assem bly the resolution of the Committee, which is favourable to the adoption of the Government Bill. The Assembly will. then decide as to the urgency of the measure, and whether it will or will not be discussed before the propagation." It is announced that General LAMORICIERE will be one of the candidates for the Presidency in 1852. The Minister of the Interior laid on the table 'of the Assembly yesterday a Bill for regulating the National Guards. He did not explain the details of his measure. The Government has received the following dis patch from the French Minister, dated Athens, 18th instant!— " Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to in form you that the convention agreed upon between the Cabinets of Paris and of London, and destined to put an end to the differences between Greece and Great Briatain, has just been signed in my presence by the Minister of her Britannic Majesty and the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs of King Ottio. Immediately after the signature M.•Londos declared to Mr. Wyse that he was authorised to say that his-Hellenic Majesty would ratify the convention. I will send yon by the next courier a copy, signed and ratified, of the conven tion in question. (Signed) " THOUVENEL." "At the commencement of the engagement the left wing was very severely pressed, bet thtl Pknet threw all their force on our ctritte, Arhich, after a most obstinate contest, at; at length compelled to retreat in the direction of Schleswig, the right wing alto accompanying it, but maintaining the same relative position to the centre at six. o'clock in the evening as at six in the morning. Ater the retreat of the centre, which defended itself with the utmost bra very, the left wing also commenced a retrograde move ment, covering the retreat. The cavalry is said to have been but little engaged, and to have lost only three men. "The following infantry officers are among the killed: —Major Brunckhof ; Lieutenants liallerstein, Walters dorf, Liaseler, and Sander. " And the following are among the wounded:—Major- General Baudissin (slightly); Major Lutnw (slightly). Captains: Unruh, Boner, and Carrel. Lieutenants: Schnobel, Hilliger, budding, Wiling, and Jenner. "The infantry took off their knapsacks, &c, to enable them to fight the easier, and having saved the whole of their baggage, it will et once be seen with what admir able order the retreat must have been conducted. We find the following in the Siecle, on the subject of the differences which are said to have existed be tween the Minister of War and General Crux- GARNIER :—" Die general subject of conversation in the lobbies, arid on the benches of the majority is a very remarkable report, which has, it is said, been drawn up by General PREVAL and presented to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, at the request of the latter. M. Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, tired, it is said, of the interminable differences and perpetual conflicts which arise between General CRANGARNIER and the Minister of War, requested General PaEVAL to submit a report to him in which the respective positions of the Minister of War and of the Commandant of the Army of Paris should be clearly defined according to the laws and regulations of the army, as well as to mi litary traditions. The report of General PRETAL is said to be a complete treatise on the matter, deve loped with all the authority of science and of long experience. The conclusions, if we may credit the reports, which have reached us, are not at all favourable to the exorbitant pretensions of General CHANGAR- NIER, and the PRESIDENT iS said to have been touched at the arguments on which the experienced author of the report has founded his opinion. We would not dare to affirm that the communication of this important document will cause any modification whatever in the hierachic relations of the Minister of War and General CHANGARNIER, but it would be to be regretted it this important work of General PREVAL were to remain shut up in the cartons and not to be made use of to enlighten public opinion on such a delicate and complicated point." The Legitimatists are very active in their endea vours to procure the restoration of HENRI V., and do not scruple openly to avow their intentions. A letter from Toulon, of the 25th, says :—" The day before yesterday the Grondeur steamer arrived from Civita Vecchia with dispatches from the com manding officer of the French ships in that port for the Maritime Prefect. The squadron has, as you know, quitted Naples, and the most conflicting sur mises are afloat on the subject. Some persons send it into the Tagus, others to Tunis, and what gives some air of probability to the latter supposition is, the departure of the Chimere for Tunis, with a large quantity of provisions and stores. The most generally received opinion is that the French fleet has put to sea to exercise the crews, half of whom are composed of newly-raised levies, and. that when the exercises are over it will return to Toulon to revictual, unless any unforeseen incident should imperiously call for its presence elsewhere.

The Danes are in complete possession of Schleswig, but bad not crossed the Eider to invade Holstein when the last accounts left. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived. Lord HOWDEN was expected to arrive in Madrid on the following day. The Heralds of Madrid, of the 25th, says that, during the QUEEN'S illness, the Queen of ENGLAND sent frequently to the Spanish Ambassador at Lon don to inquire after her MAJESTY. The Gazette contains a Royal decree ordering that for the future the supreme tribunal of the army and navy shall con.. sist of six generals and two -admirals. A Valentia journal announces that a man named Boy, a noted chief of Montemolinist bands, had been arrested in that city, whilst endeavouring to raise a new band. The 25th being a fete day, the Stock Exchange was not open. The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of ,the 28th contains the following:— "As the general in command has not yet been able to send in a detailed account of the battle of the 25th, the undersigned makes known the following:— "Our whole army (the Schleswig-Holstein army) holds a concentrated position: all reports of daub ments being cut off are false. The losses sustained will be made good in such manner by the reserve battalions, organised for this purpose some weeks since, that in a few days the army will be stronger than it was before the battle of Idstedt. "The courage of the army is unabated. We look confidently forward to decisive events. (Signed) " KROHN. "Kid, July From this warlike proclamation it appears that hostilities will be resumed, which must eventually lead to the entrance of the Danes into Holstein. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Berlin, July 29, says:-- " We are assured that negotiations are on foot for a prolongation of the time allowed for the ratification of the peace of 2d July." Another telegraphic dispatch, dated Hamburgb, July 29, in the evening, says : " There is nothing new from the scone of war, if we except an unimportant skirmish of cavalry at the out posts. The troops are in excellent spirits, but the want is felt of a sufficient number of officers." MON)Y and CON . TATERQIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O ' CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 20,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export, and 5,000 American, 600 Brazil, 1,000 Egyptian, and 1,000 Surat on speculation.

The advices by the Overland are still in much the same strain as for the last month or two in reference to commercial matters. There is an excessive supply of textile goods In all the presidencies, and still the ar.• rivals continue. It is true that an improvement is anti cipated, but this is contingent on a favourable season fir the agriculturists, and it is doubtful whether the exhaustion of the stocks in the interior will not be immediately provided for by the accumulations in the different capital cities. Money seems easy, and Cotton, which had been firmer, was slightly tending downwards, owing to less favourable news from Chin ‘. The Indigo crops promised fairly, although dry weather was needed. At Calcutta, just bef)re the mall left, the lower prices accepted for imports rather stimulated the demand, but the season gill not be remunerative to the importers. _ _ In the Amsterdam market on Monday Dutch Stock was firm. The Two-and-a-Heif per Cents. have been 571. Spanish Five per Cents. were lower, but the Three per Cents. were supported. Portuguese Bonds were very firm, and in request. Rumour is busy as to the precise objects for which the meeting of Mexican bondholders is convened, and it would seem that almost every ono thinks the unfortunate creditors are lair game for their assaults. It is said that Colouel Facio objects to sign over the money in the Bank of England for the payment of part of a dividend, until Messrs. Schneider deliver up all the books in their pessession; but we should think the ostensible reason must be that the agreement is not yet ratified, by the Mexican Congress. The representative in Lon don of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh also feels an• noyed, it is reported, becauSe of the resolution passed by the bondholders to discontinue sub-agencies in Mexico, and the non-recognition of the services which the firm is stated to have rendered fur several years. It is just pos sible, therefore, that failing to receive the compliments, a claim may be advanced for more substantial recom pense, in the shape of commission due, au unpleasant contingency , -if there, -, be. no bargain with the house that would vitiate such claim. As to M. Escandon and the cotton licences, he may give up or not those that he still holds, and pay the balance for such as have been made available; but unluckily that gentleman is said to be under heavy advances to Mr. W. P. Robertson for the expenses of his mission, and being indebted also to Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh for tobacio duties, may use every exertion to liquidate his own demands. Whether he can do so legally is another Tastier]. M. Rolarte, the Court broker, about whom we have heard so much, has drawn upon Mr. W. P. Robertson his first bill fur 5001., part of, about 4,0001. which the latter agreed with him should be awarded as a commis sion upon the indemnity money, for the exertions and influence of M. Rolarte. This is certainly a strange way of. doing business. Not a sixpence of the indem nity ,money has been received, and yet is a claim made for commission upon it, and upon the untenable ground, that if the . bondholders had at once ac cepted the convention, it would have been ra tified by the Mexican Congress, and that its not having been carried out is no fault of the bargain makers. Mr. Robertson, as we hear, has sent the bill to the committee to be •honoured, but fortunately M. Robarts has, we believe, no funds in band belonging to the bondholders that he'can appropriate to pay himself, otherwise he would doubtlesss follow the example of all the rest engaged in this miserable business. Finally, as to the mode in which M. Falconnet'a expenses are to be met. It will be necessary, it is said, that the bond holders should give some undertaking, and then the amount will be advanced by a leading firm here. The Funds are very firm again, but not brisk. Con sols have realised 96/ to 97 for Transfer, and 964 to 974 for Account. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. are 994 to 991. East India Stock has been quoted 270 to 271. The premium on Exchequer•bills is 675. to 70s. In the Foreign Market there is' more life. The arrangement of the account has its effect. Mexican has touched 294 and 30. Peravhin Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are steady at 83. Chilian Bonds have been at 103. Spanish Three per Cents. are 371, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 34 to 34/. Shares are still improving.

The SPEAKER took the Chair in the new chamber at Twelve o'clock. Since the House last assembled here a temporary timber roof has been erected with the view of sti►l fur ther trying the aecoustic capabilities of the building. Of course it is in a rough, unfinished state, and since it renders useless, by shutting out, tit least two-thirds of the windows, the House presents a sombre and dingy aspect ; still it facilitates hearing, and reducei the accompanying reverberation which previously existed, and no • doubt when the roof is brought permanently lower and glazed with plate glass, similar to that of the old House, it will render the chamber more adapted to its purpose, if it does not im prove its appearance.

K. BaucE.) the Old H H is onour was occupied thew hoie wer e of 01 of no ite . with unopposed petitions, none of whch portance. ~ of a iIIIS D" I* • On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. ANSTEY moved as an amendment that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Bill this day three months. He observed that whatever amendments might be made in it consistent with the title it would not carry out the objet of those who promoted it in another place, and who professed, he would not say intended, to secure a bet ter observance of the Lord's-day. Even supposing that the evidence given before the Committee which had sat on the subject showed that it was desirable that a better observance of the Sabbath should be obtained in the me tropolis, to the exclusion of all other parts.of her Ma jesty's dominions, the • Bill was wholly inadequate for the purpose. Were the instances of Sunday trading which had been seen in the metropolis by the Hon. Member who introduced the Bill such as to constitute a nuisance? If so, why did be not name those instances? He (Mr. Anstey) contended there bad been too much legislation on this subject, and that this Bill was a mass of undigested nonsense. He called upon the promoters of this Bill, whom he might term its godfathers, to prove the preamble before the House proceeded one step further. What was Sunday trading? Did it consist in selling apples or oranges on a kerb stone? No. It be gan with the miserable apple-woman and pot house, and went through all the intervening classes of society up to the Reform or Brookes' Club. Under this Bill luxuries were to be sold on the Sunday, because the poor could not buy them and the rich could. Any Hon. Member might buy Punch on a Sunday , provided it was stamped, but if he were to buy an unstamped copy for threepence he would be deemed a great sinner. —(A laugh.) This was a Bishops' Bill; it had been framed by them, and they had taken care to provide for their own convenience, by exempting milk and cream from the provisions of this Bill. He doubted very much whether the promoters of the Bill were sincere in what they were doing, and in order to test that he intended to introduce an amendment to put down the driving of carriages on a Sunday, espe cially the carriages of those who were entitled to wear arms. He also intended to move an amendment that ser vants should not work on a Sunday. He believed that a Bill more disgusting, or one that would. stink more in the nostrils of the people, had never been introduced into that House. It provisions were mon strous, and such that, if it passed, would be reseated by the people.---(Hear, hear.) It could do no good, but would cause great harm ; and he would venture to ay. tes that it had only been introduced to pamper the ap petiof a set of hypocrites.—(Hear, hear.) He con cluded by ni „iving that the Bill be committed this day three months. Sir G. GREY deprecated any discussion on the prin ciple of the Bill, which was decided last Wednesday, and complained that the lion. and Learned Gentleman who had just sat down had wastes: an hour and a half of the time of the House. Ile was quite a ware of the difficul ties of passing a Bill of this nature the7t would be satis factory to all parties, but still he thoug:it such a Bill was calculated to accomplish great practical good, and he hoped it would be passed in some shape ore other. Mr. ANSTEY explained. Colonel THOMPSON corrected an error which be et: id prevailed amongst his friends that he supported this Bili because he thought it would lead to reaction. He did not think anything of the sok He looked upon it as a peace offering of a pernicious character, and he hoped all parties wptild join in endeavouring so to amend the Bill es to make it acceptable to all parties.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME objected to the Bill on principle. The parties who proposed it thought they could make people religious by Act of Parliament. Now, his experience convinced him that it was quite impossible to do so. Such attemps always produced contrary results, and he regretted that Government had taken up the measure for the purpose of having it effectually disposed of. Govern ment was neglecting its duties upon all questions affecting the interests of the people. Look, for instance, at the Post-office. Governmeut declined to step forward to stop the insane movement of a petty majority, but perhaps that was the fault of .the Members themselves. Really, however, Government ought to be blamed for all this, for if they would stand forth and manfully oppose all measures calculated to reduce the civil' and religious liberties of the people, they would find themselves backed by large majorities. This was a measure directed against the people. It was of a coercive character, and as he thought the days for inflicting penalties upon opinions had gone by, he should support the amendment.—(Cheers.) Mr. TRF,LAWNY thought this Bill, like the Post office measure, would lead to the desecration rather than secure the observance cf the Sabbath, and he should oppose it to the last. Domestic servants were a very oppressed class, and the tree object of this Bill was to enable the middle class tradesmen to oppress the poor man, as the aristocrat did his domestic. It was very desirable that one day should be set apart for rest, but that must be done through the common sense of the SURREY SESSIONS.—C The adjourned quarter sessions for the coaosltio' .

He was at c loss to know what the Post-office measure had to do with tho question, except it was im ported into it to show how disgracefully ttre House behaved itself when a measure was backed by the prayers of the people. Not withstanding that the great mass of the people approved of the change in the • Post-office, the House had attempted to overthrow it before it had a fair trial, and now it was proposed to reject this Bill in the faoe of the large number of petitions which the metropelis had presented in its favour.

"M. le Baron,—l have just received from Baron de Pechlin, in his own name and in that of his colleagues, the assurance that he considers the words ' pourru re clamor,' substituted for the word reolamera,' in the 4th article in the treaty Of peace between the Germanic Confederation and Denmark, signed on the 2d instant, but as authorising the King of Denmark to endeavour, by conciliatory measures, to establish pacific relations with the duchy of.Holatein without the intervention of the Confederation. If those efforts are ineffectual, Baron Pechlin acknowledges the obligation of the King, tinder the treaty, to apply to the Confederation, before having recourse to military measures to establish his authority in the duchy. It is only in case this intervention, being so demanded, bo not afforded, or be ineffectual, that the King is at liberty to employ his military forces for that purpose. "Accept, &c., 'Signed' (Sip ) WESTMORELAND. " TO his Excellency the Baron de Schleinitz." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

" No official reports have as yet been published, but we have received the following particulars from a highly respectable source, although we . do not pledge ourselves as to their accuracy on every point. " The centre of the Schleswig-Holstein army was posted as Idstedt, under the command of General Wil limn; the right wing, under Von der Horst, extended from Wedelspang as far as the Schlei, and the left wing under Baudissin, until he was obliged to retire in conse- Titmice of his wound, when the comm a nd d evo l ved upon TreeLe, near So llbroe , the whole army formi ng near l y at ' icleledo. l a V s e e n m d i- e c r ir -T cl a e n , n te most prominent point being the centre SE R.V lA. It is stated in a letter from Semlin of the 20th that Mr. FONBLANQUE, Consul-General of England in Servia, had struck his flag, and had sent a letter of complaint to the Pacha of the fortress in conse quence of the Servian police having inflicted some punishment on his domestic—an act which he repre sents to be a violation of his privileges. ITALY. The Concordia, of Turin, quotes a letter from Florence of the 20th, stating that the strangest ru mours are current about the band of IL PASSATORE, who still infests both the Tuscan and Papal Ro magna, notwithstanding the exertions of the Austrian troops. Engagements are said to halie taken place with his men in the vicinity of Cortona, in which the Austrians were worsted. They also say that IL PASSA.TOR has two pieces of cannon, that he has divided his band into three bodies, giving each a commander, and that he is well provided with arms and money. Accounts have been received from Naples of the 17th. Austria and Russia have both strongly re monstrated with King BomnA on the violence of his reactionary proceedings, and have counselled him not to do away entirely with the constitution.
