It is somewhat amusing to observe the ingenious contrivances of the oriental newspapers to render their broadsheets interesting, or, at any rate, readable, in the absence of all important intelligence. A strik ing specimen of their skill under such emergencies has been afforded by the journals brought by the overland mail from Bombay and Calcutta. Every conceivable, we had almost said every inconceivable, theme has been dilated upon, which could at all be re garded as admitting of expatiating commentaries. Whatever scraps of information were capable of being gathered together in reference to the remote provinces of Hindostan have been scrupulously recorded; so that the absence of war or insurrection in those countries does not wholly appear, with the quidnuncs, to militate against their attractiveness. From Kashmir we learn, for example, that the old chieftain, GROLAB Sla Gm, restored to his pristine health, is dispensing the hospitality of that district to various Europeans of distinction. From the Punjaub we glean no intelligence of any import ance. From Peshawur little beyond accounts of the prevailing pestilence, and comments on the weather, in as far as it is likely to affect vegetation. From the central provinces arrive, bit by bit., particulars of the la'est movements made by the Usbegs and the Affghans, such, for instance, as the sojourn of AZEEM KHAN near Balkh, and the continued activity of the Wullee of Khooloom. Ex pectation still continues as to the course likely to be pursued towards the Afreedes by the Government— the only occupations of the army having been re stricted to the examination of the passes connecting together Kohat and Peshawur. It would appear that in Jullundur the annoyance felt by the cultiva tors at the stringent conduct of the subordinate offi cials employed in the revenue survey, had been forgot ten for awhile in the general gratification experienced at the capture of a party of coiners by one of the local magistracy, the delight derived from that cir cumstance being enhanced by the fact that these same coiners bad most ingeniously imitated the Com pany's rupee, and thereby, through their agents in the different Indian cities, committed enormous de predations. Among the news received from Lahore, the most noticeable is the resumption of jogheers claimed by the principal sirdars under the ancient dynasty, and the abolition of the chowkedarree-tax, an imposition which had led to little else than ex tortion. Besides these general fragments of information, the dispatches from Ilindostan contain intelligence of a personal character of the most various description. Scarcely anything is related as to the movements of his Excellency the Governor-General, beyond the fact that his vice-regal court still remains at Simla, while he himself, accompanied by the Marchioness of DALTIOUSIE,II9.3 proceeded on his trip to liumtwur. Ad ditional particulars are furnished by the Indian jour nalist in reference to the melancholy suicide of Colonel KING, late of the 14th Light Dragoons; and a variety of court-martials are likewise mentioned as attracting a large amount of public ob servation. Conspicuous among these is the court martial on Lieutenant LITCHFORD for Sghting a duel with the adjutant of the 48th Native Infantry; and one on Lieutenant Rosa, for applying to the civil power for protection against a threat of being horse• whipped, made against bith by the editor of the Mofussilite. Together with these unfortunate inci dents are mentioned the cashiering of Lieutenant BRADFORD, of the Artillery, and the approaching trial of Major PHILLIPS, of the 7th Light Cavalry, at Jullundur. Various rumours of official changes are also given by the Calcutta press as having been prevalent. Most of these, however, are already proved to be erroneous, such as the reports that Mr. HENRY TORRENS was about to succeed Colonel SLEEMAN in the Lucknow Residency ; that Sir HENRY ELLIOTT was about to replace Mr. THOMASON as Lieutenant-Governor of Agra, and that the Lieutenant• Governorship of Bengal, under an en tirely new arrangement, was about to be conferred on Mr. HALLIDAY. These and several other whispered changes served to entertain the gobemouches of Hin dostan. With the earliest dispatches from England would reach our oriental possessions the intelligence that Sir WILLIAM GOMM had been appointed, as Commander-in-Chief of the Indian army, Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S successor. That appointment will, we doubt not, cause as much satisfaction throughout our military forces in Asia as it has done already throughout the minis of all reflective observers in the mother country. It will place those splendid forces at the command of Sir WILLIAM Gomm in their highest state of efficiency, the army having been brought to that desirable condition by the tact, the genius, and the untiring energy of that illustrious soldier, the conqueror of Sinde.: Experience indeed hes shown that no arrangement could have been made better calculated to secure tho improvement of the British Indian forces than the coLference of the supreme military authority upon Sir CHARLES NA PIER immediately that the veteran hero of Sobraon and Goojerat had departed homewards from the scene of his many glorious achievements. A disciplinarian I so strict as the ex-Governor of Sinde was rendered I a manner requisite in superintending an army whose recent triumphs might have induced energetic and vigilgnt CommAnder vf -le-1 4? et i .ll) , A •m 0, , , Adele. SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1850. in-Chief to treat them with unnecessary and injudicious indulgence. - Events have demon strated the advantages secured by the appoint ment; and now that Sir CHARLES NAPIFR has fulfilled not only general expectation, but his own comprehensive intentions, he is about to resign his great powers into the hands of his distinguished suc cessor, Sir WILLIAAr Gomm, and to return to Eng land covered with new distinctions, both as a discipli narian and as a military administrator. We doubt not that hi 3 welcome home amongst us will be to the full as cordial as his brilliant career might justify him in expecting, and that his sword at least mqy be laid aside without any fear of its " rusting inglo riously." Lord BROUGHAM imputes the delay of seventeen years which has taken place in the passing of the County Courts Bill to the fact that in this country there is no Minister to mature measures of reform, superintend the administration of justice, and direct, initiate, control, and carry into effect schemes for the amendment of the law ; and indeed the mode in which the Bill recently passed was introduced into Parlia ment, and dealt with by the Commons, Lords, and Ministers of the Crown, is in itself a strong argu ment to prove the necessity which exists for some such responsible public functionary. " The Bill of 1833," remarks the Noble and Learned Lord, in his letter to Lord DENMAN," which I endeavoured to pass, and only lost by a majority of one in the Lords, is at length the law of the land. Its history is a little sin gular, and shows how capricious and uncertain our legislation is on the most important cf all subjects ; and, I am clearly of opinion, capricious and uncertain be cause we have not a Minister of Justice." The Bill was introduced into *the House of Commons by a Member unconnected with the Government; and it passed the Lower House without the clauses giving concurrent jurisdiction to the superior courts and an appellate jurisdiction, which had formed parts of the Ministerial Bill of 1833. These clauses were inserted by the Lords at the instance of Lord BROUGHAM, and they were afterwards agreed to by the House of Cammons. Now it must be admitted that a measure of such vast importance to the commer cial community and the legal profession ought to have been introduced by a Minister of the Crown, every clause being fully weighed, and carefully drawn, in stead of being left in an immature form to the chance medley of a Parliame . ntary Committee. What is everybody's business is nobody's business ; and it is obvious that many useful measures are now marred, or altogether lost to the nation, because there is not in England, as there is in most of the other countries of Europe, a Minister of Justice. The whole system of pleading in the superior courts loudly calls for extensive alteration. Its prolixity and tech nical refinements—its delays—its uncertainty—its de feats of justice—its sacrifices of the real merits of causes to rigid or subtle rules, and as a consequence its incalculable expense—involving the vanquished often in ruin, and leaving the victor, like the Cartha genian General, to say, " another such victory and I am undone !"—all demand the most vigorous and yet judicious treatment. " The law's delay" was reckoned as one of the almost insupportable evils or human life in the reign of ELIZABETH, and it cannot be denied that cheap and speedy justice is still far from being attainable at Westminster Hall. It is known that a large portion of the Bar have been for some years desirous of a change of system. One recommends the abolition of special demurrers, the arguments on which fill our modern reports, another advises the total abolition of written pleadings, a third points out how, by a modification of the ex isting system, justice can be administered in the superior courts at a cheaper rate even than in the new tribunals. The fees taken in the courts at Westminster by masters, marshals, associates judges' clerks, criers, and ushers, tend most consider ably to enhance the costs of law suits; some of these offices might be dispensed with altogether, and the fee's in the cases of the others ought to be very materially reduced. The practice of the courts, too, might with great advantage to the public be revised, simplified, and cheapened. Now, why is it that these changes, obviously so essential to the interests of society, have been allowed to remain unac cemplished ? Is it not because there has been no one individual vested 'with authority, possessing the qualifications for such a task, — eminent talent, enlightened by the principles of jurisprudence, great exprience in the practice of the law, and matured judgment—charged with the duties I of Minister of Justice? Lord MANSFIELD, whose dictum that the substantial rules of pleading " are founded in strong sense, and in the soundest and closest logic," is often quoted by the disciples of WENTWORTH, CHITTY, and STEPHENS, admits, in the same sentence, that they were often made use of as instruments of chicane; would it not be a labour worthy of the highest ambition to devise some means to retain all that is valuable and practically conducive to the ends of justice in the system of pleading, and yet to provide against its being perverted to the pur pose of injustice and chicanery ? Lord BROUGHAM, in concluding the letter which has suggested these re marks, with a spirit which reminds us of days that are past, alluding to the dignity of such a work, ob serves— "Let us briefly pause to consider of how noble a na ture are those efforts to amend the law, which we aro assiduously pressing upon the Legislature. Assure.lly it can have no more imperative duty; but also, it is a duty the rigorous and successful performance of which must so certainly redound to great and lasting glory that one is astonished to witness the neglect of it. For whom do men in all ages most honour? Renowned lawgivers; and if his ❑ame is ever held in grateful remembrance, who without the embarrassment of existing but ill-con trived institutions, and the obstruction offered by long cherished and deeply-rooted prejudices, laid the founda tions of a system, how much more transcendant must be the merit, and how much more brilliant the fame of those, who, extirpating inveterate error, sweep away consecrated abuse, and dispelling pernicious obscurity, make the law a living letter, the protection of right and the scourge of wrong—the support by a nobler than Roma❑ charity of its parent Justice! These are the greatest monuments the rulers of mankind can kayo be hind them. When Constantine called Trajan a wall flower, because his name as the founder was carved on so many buildings, Bacon prefers • Adrian's view, whose mind was to wrestle a fall with time,' in repairing its ravages. Yet this, the wisest of mankind held a ter less merit than forming colleges and lectures for education; and that again seemed to him as nothing, compared with establishing of good laws, which makes a whole nation to be a well-ordered college or foundation.' " Some months ago a Commission was issued by the Crown to inquire into the practice and pleadings of the superior courts of law. How much more likely such a Commission would be to produce good fruit if it were under the direct superintendence of an effi cient high officer of state ! The great work of Chan cery reform has been begun : Mr. TURNER'S Bill, the object of which is to provide an easy, speedy, and cheap method of obtaining the Courts' opinion on dis puted points where the facts are admitted, has passed this year ; but what a herculean task still remains to be performed in the Court of Chancery—not to mention the many other matters that call for the interference and patient scrutiny of the law reformer ? "It may b e wrong, " says Lord Brougham, " to say, nothing has been accomplished—but it is cor !Tett to say that what remains to be done is of incomparably greater importance; and moreover it is in many respects exactly what there ought to have been the B le a a n s k t ru d p i t ffic L u a l w ty s in effecting. We have amended w p e roceedings in Equity re main to be reformed. made provisions, abridge the stylo of to secure general useful, though paltry enouh t ha " our statutes; we have don© ' nothi a ng u composition.

We have digested the law of debtor and creditor: the law generally, and above all the criminal law, remains undigested, both common and statute. It seems almost as if we had, not perhaps begun at the wrong end, but certainly applied ourselves to remove the least urgent evils, and certainly chosen to attempt the things that were the most difficult, and in striving after which we were likely to be both the most reluc tantly supported end the most strenuously opposed." The tardy progress of law reform—the fruitless ex penditure of 100,0001. in preliminaries for a Digest of the Criminal Law—the uncertainty and confusion which is necessarily occasioned by leaving the prac titioners of the law and the administrators of justice to pick up law, " as pigeons peas," from musty folios, antiquated authors, obscure reports, and contradictory statutes, instead of placing before them an authorised code—the chicanery to which the system of pleading, and more especially of special demurrers, affords a covert for—the expense, vexation, and prolixity of the forms of proceeding in the superior courts—the com plexity of the rules which tire there enforced—the multiplicity of fees exacted from suitors under the name of fees of court—the unnecessary offices for which litigants are taxed—the long permitted imperfections of the Bankruptcy code—the piecemeal enactments respecting Insolvency—the unsatisfactory legislation respecting the County Courts—the fact that the position of the Bar in relation to these courts is left undefined and unsettled—the giant evils of Chancery—the blunders and solecisms in Acts of Parliament—the objectionable mode of passing private Bills—the unsatisfactory practice re lating to divorces—the accumulation of business on the hands of the Masters in Chancery—the unsettled state of the appellate jurisdiction,—all bear witness to the necessity of constituting a department presided over by a Minister'of Justice ! To continue to divide the responsibility of amending the law between the Lord Chancellor, the Judges, and the Law Officers of the Crown, all having themselves active and laborious duties to perform, will only delay reform, and perhaps perpetuate the vicious practices which Lord Brtouone.m has so opportunely held up to public view. THE FRENCH. REPUBLIC. We have received the i'aris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Count DE CHAMBORD, like his ancestors, has " been taught nothing, has forgotten nothing." Powerless and in exile, he still exclaims, as Louis XIV. did in the height of his power, L'Etat c'est nwi. He rejects anything like an appeal to the people in sup port of his pretensions as treason to his " right Divine," and in his manifesto, published in the journals of Saturday, tells the people of France that they are his property ; that they have no right to the enjoy ment of either property or liberty but by his good pleasure, and that he will not accept advice even under present circumstances from any of his adherents, but "reserves to himself the direction of general policy." This manifesto is dated ...from Wiesbaden. It is a circular addressed to the chiefs of the Legiti• inatist clubs in France, and is signed by M. DE BARTHELFMY, the Secretary of the Legitima rist Club of the Rue Moethabor, of which M. BER RYER is President. The following is the pasccge in which the Count DE CHAMBORD deliberately repu dia►es the proposition of M. DE LAROCHEJAQUELIN for an appeal to the people, and stigmatizes the most chivalrous of his supporters as guilty of something like treason : " The Count of Chambord has declared that he re served to himself the direction of the general policy. In the prevision of sudden eventualities, and for sake of as suring complete unity of views and of action, which alone gives force, he Lai designated the min to whom he de legates the application of his policy. This question na turally leads to the consideration of the subject of an ap peal to the people. lam officially charged to make you acquainted with the declaration of the Count de Cham bord.. lie has formally and absolutely condemned the system of an appeal to the people es implying the ne gation of the grand national principle cf hereditary monarchy." Such is the reward of the fidelity of the La Roche jaquelins such is the gratitude of the Bourbons. The manifesto thus goes on to announce the official appointment of a Legitimatist junta, to whom all France is called upon to pay implicit obedience ",`lt now follows that the Count of CRAMBORD having reserved to himself the direction of ge neral policy, no individuality, either in the press or elsewhere, can assume to himself the right of repre senting this policy. In the eyes of Legitimatists there can be no head but the one, and those whom he has designated as his mandataires, and they are, as you. 'nay perhaps already know, the Due de Levis, Ge neral de Saint Priest, M. Berryer, the Marquis de Pastorel, and the Due de Cars." The secession of M. DERRYER from the Burgraves is now a matter of course; neither the PRESIDENT nor the Ofleanists can place any trust in the acknowledged chief of the Legitirnatist faction. M. DE LAROCHFJAQUELIN has lost no time in re plying to the insult addressed to him by this mani festo, and in a letter addressed to the various journals, after expressing his bitter regret at the blindness cf those who could counsel the commission of such an act of madness (acte inseiatee) as the publication of this manifesto, announces bis virtual secession frcm the Legitimatist party in the following words : " I leave to others the care of henceforth defending doctrines which, in my error, I thought I might sup port without being held up to public scorn. I shall always rest faithful to the interests of my country in obeying ire laws which govern it, without pre-occupy ing myself with wishing, or foreseeing the future, to which I must submit. 1 shall religiously keep in re serve, for the satisfaction of my conscience, the political symbol which has been the faith of my entire life, but 1 admit that the application of it will be impossible if your manifesto should havo its effect." The Journal des Debats has the following on the resolutions of the Councils-General : " Out of eighty-five departments (that of the Seine meets at a 'etcr period) sixty-four bare deliberated on the revision of the Constitution. That is the first point to be stated. But all the councils in which the question has been brought forward have not decided in favour of the revision. Nevertheless, to form an idea of the progress which this question has made during a year in public opinion, it is well to compare,l the result of the last session with that which has just terminated. Last year only three Councils declared for the revision— those of the Aube, the Marne, and the Gironde. But this year the following is the recapitulation and classi fication, as exact as possible, of the votes of the 85 councils : —32 Councils have declared for the legal revi sion, that is for the revision effected at the period and by the means which the Constitution itself has deter mined. Out of these 32 councils there aro two (the Ariege and the Oise) which have specially called the at tention of the Assembly to article 45 of the Constitution, relative to the non-re-election of the President of the Re public, and a third, that cf . Corsica, which formally de mands a prorogation of the powers of M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.`.one Council, that of the Pyreuess-Orientales, has demanded the pure and simple revision; and has also solicited a prolongation of the powers of the present President of the Republic. Ten Councils have expressed the pure and simple wish for a revision. Five have de clared for the revision with the least delay possible. One, that of Puy-de-Dome, has foreseen the case in which ex traordinary circumstances, and the public safety, may oblige the Legislative Assembly to revise the Constitu tion, and it has recognised its right so to do. Two Councils, without formally demanding the revision, have expressed the desire that the Assembly shall adopt means for setting aside the perils of the ac tual state of affairs. One Council, that of Gard, has shown itself indifferent with respect to the revi sion, and has contented itself with expressing the wish contained in the well-known motto of M. de Laroche jaqualin—' Republic or Legitimate Monarchy.' On the other hand, twenty-one Councils hare separated without having deliberated on the question. Ten Councils have rejected resolutions proposed in favour of the revision. Two, those of the Var and Vaucluse, have positively expressed the wish that the Constitution shall be respected. On the whole, out of 83 Councils- General 52 have declared themselves, more or less di rectly, more or less clearly, against the present Consti tution. We class in this category the Council-General of the Gard, although it has solved the question by an alternative. But its wish is not favourable to existing institutions. Thirty-three Councils have refrained from deliberating, or have declared themselves against the revision. As far as we can judge by the documents be fore us, the numbers in the majorities by which the question has been decided one way or the other have been very variable. Such is the summary of the votes of the Councils-General on this grand question of a re vision." The Constitutionnel, the acknowledged organ of the Ministry, has the following on the arrest of the Archbishop of CAGLIARI:— " We foresaw that attempts would be made to misre present the events which have taken place in Sardinia; but we were far from thinking that it would be done by declaring ignorance of these facts. This pretension is not less strange than that of wishing to throw on the Piedmontese Government the reproach of giving the provocation. Because an ecclesiastical dignitary declares that he will not obey a law, a Government commits an act of provocation in enforcing the law, and not allowing it to become a dead letter! There are bishops in France who have protested against the law on publio instruc tion, and who have declared that they will net give it their co-operation; will the French Government be guilty of provocation in currying that law into execu tion? The law on charitable establishments has existed for thirteen 3 ears in Piedmont; it is not the Goverment which has snddenly thought of applying it to Sardinia; it was the two Chambers who voted that application by a law of the Ist of May, 18.50. Is or is not Piedmont a constitutional kingdom? Are the Ministers bound or are they not bound to obey the decision of the two Cham bers, converted into a law?" publication st ated that The gerant o f th e Siecle has been cond emne d t o three m on th s ' i mpr i sonment and 2,000 f. fine, for the libel on the fromb PRESIDENT. teg a r ' d r e h n e a t libel st. of a thevegetables Cloud were regularly sent to the El e6e but that y PRESIDEAT they were ne ver pa id for b Y " .

A letter from Frankfort states that the restricted Federal Council was on the 17th occupied with the affair of Hesse, Mr. HASSENPFLUG having formally applied for federal aid. The same letter states that the Minister and two others, M. HESSIS and Count Taut, had proceeded the same day to the Elector at Wilbelmsbad, where, after an animated conference, new arbitrary measures were ' resolved on. On the 18th, an intervention of Germany in the matter was spoken with greater confidence. The Carlsrulie Gazelle of the 19th publishes a de cree, prolonging for one month more the state of siege and martial law proclaimed in October last. The Committee of the National Assembly of Wur temburg has just protested against the Royal decree of August 28, which prescribes the temporary col lection of certain taxes on the ground that the Go vernment i 3 not in an exceptional position. which would alone warrsnt such a course of proceeding. A letter from Cologne of the 19,h, in the lnde pendance Beige, says :—The manoeuvres of the troops collected here terminated yesterday by a sham fight. The 18:h Regiment, composed almost exclusively of Poles, was opposed to the 34th, mostly Prussians and inhabitants of the Rhenish provinces. The fire having opened between these two corps, at the first discharge three soldiers fell mortally wounded. The 18th had, it appears, loaded with ball. Orders were at once given to cease firing, but it was with difficulty that the officers could get the order obeyed. Amongst the three victims is a young man named DIETZ, formerly the editor of an opposition journal. An investigation has been ordered, but it is not likely that it will be attended with any result. The Cologne Gazelle contains a letter from Darm stadt, of the 18th, stating that the Deputy REff made on that day a proposition to the Second Chamber, de claring that it protested against all participations of the Grand Duchy in the deliherations and resolutions of the restricted Federal Council ; and that it invited the Government to recall its Minister from the Federal Council, and to make all its efforts to have the Con sitution of the Empire deliberated at Frankfort promptly carried out. The proposition was sent to the Bureaux. The Cologne Gazette announces that the Duke of BauNswicx has consented to the ratification of pence with Denmark, to which he had been before opposed. The Supreme Court of Appeal of Cassel confirmed on the 16th, the judgment of the Court of First In stance, which had declared itself incompetent to go further with the accusation brought before it by the permanent Committee of the State against the Mi nisters for abuse of power. The Austrian Government has prohibited the cir culation of the Cologne Gazette in Vienna during the state of siege. The Vienna Gazette publishes a Ministerial decree declaring that the State will make advances of funds to landowners of Hungary and Transylvania affected by the abolition of corve:es and seignorial rights. Baron Hairuu arrived in Vienna on the 14th. The investigation into the circumstances attending the attempt made on the life of the King of PausslA by SEFELOGE is concluded. It does not appear that SEFELOGE had any accomplices. The King of GREECE arrived at Aschafenburg, in Bavaria, on the 10th. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The lndependance of Brussels says : " Our correspondent at Hamburgla states, from re ports which had arrived there, but which are not yet official, that the loss of the holstein army in the late affair is more considerable than was at first suppose-!, amounting to 1,000 men, killed, wounded, or made prisoners. It would appear that there is not a very good understanding betwern General William and the prin cipal leaders under his orders as to the manner of carry ing on the ear. If such be the case, it is a bad s3mptom fur the Duchies. But now more than ever, ac cording to the situation of affairs there, the great powers, not German, may be expected to interpose in an efficient manner before long to put an end to the war." All requisitions trade for the Danish army in Schleswig are paid for in czsh, at fair prices, and the people of that Duchy sigh but for the return of tran quillity and the constitutional rule of their legitimate Sovereign. It is now confirmed that nine Danish gun-boats and the Geyser steamer have arrived on the west coast of Schleswig. They are in the neighbourhood of Fohr, and the troops which were on board of them now occupy all the islands belonging to that Duchy. The three Holstein gun-boats escaped, all the Holstein accounts say, into the Eyder after a slight con. hat, hut in which it is allowed they lost four men killed and seven wounded. ITALY. The Constiluzionale of Florence of the 14th states that the municipal elections took place in that capital on the preceding day. The minimum of electors re quired by law was 1,1.42 ; but 1,377 vote d t hi s t i me, while at the last elections the legal number was not attained. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY was to leave Florence on the 15th, for Naples. The Giornale di Roma of the 12th publishes a decree of the Sicred Congregation of Studies, direct ing that henceforward academical degrees shall be granted without any expense wh a t ever t o t h e candi dates. The universities are to be indemnified by the State for the loss they Kill sustain in cons e quence of this decree.

The Austrian Government is about to contract a new loan for the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The loan is to be for one hundred millions of Austrian lires (about eighty millions of French francs, or 3,200,0001. sterling); and the following are the terms upon which it will be adjudicated, as agreed upon by the mandatory of the Austrian Minister of Finances, and the delegates of the Lombardo-Venetian king dom, at a meeting held at Verona on the 9th inst. The adjudication of the loan is to take place on the Bth of October next, at the office of the Director of Finances at Verona by way of free tender. The rate of interest is to be 5 per cent. The loan is to be divided into bonds of 100, 300, 300, 1,500, and 3,000 Austrian lires. The revenues derived from the taxes upon land and other real pro perty in the provinces and tow ns o f th e L om b ar d o . Venetian kingdom, will be mort gage d as a guarantee for the capital and interest of the loan. The bonds will be paid off and extinguished by lot within the period of twenty-five years, commencing in 1853, and for that purpose the whole of the bonds will be divided into twenty-five series. The instalments are to be paid in ten equal portions, viz., the two first on the Bth November and 9th December, 1850, and on the Bth of each month of 1851, from January till August, both inclusive. To facilitate the payment, one-half of each instalment will be accepted in Austrian Treasury bonds at par, but the other half must be paid in cash, either in gold or silver. If more than half the amount of the instalment be paid in gold coin, the payment of the interest and the reimbursement of the capital will also be effected, one-half in gold and the other half in silver. The instalments are to be paid at the Lombardo-Venetian Mint at Milan. It is at Milan, on the lst of June in each year, . that lots are to be drawn for the series of bonds to be reimbursed, and the bonds so drawn will be paid off on the Ist of De cember of the same year also at Milan, Baroness de Clifford and the llon. Miss Russell have returned to her Ledyship's seat in Leicestershire, for the autumn. Lord Brooke, M.P., has arrived in town, from visiting the German Spas.

THENAGISTRACY.—Captain John Scully, of Shon ballard, county Tipperary, has been appointed a resident magistrate, in room of the late Mr. William Rysn, deceased. Captain Scully had been for some time a resident magistrate in Australia. MAitYLEBrICE VESTRY.—On Saturday the first meeting wince the recess took - place, but no business of im portance was transacted. On the presentation of a report from the " slopping committee," recommending that !be cleansing of th e p ar i s h should be done b y t h e vestry instead of by contract, th ere was a little discussion and some general charges of jobbi ng, d ui, without specific allegations or proof. The report was adopted. A motion for restricting speakers to fifteen minutes was lost by a large majority, and the ves try adjourned. It it understood that Sir Dennis La Marchant will succeed the late Air. Ley as Clerk of the House of Commons on a reduced salary cf 2,000/. per annum. Mr. Booth, ti c Exan , luer of ReOu gnizances and Counsel to the Speaker, is mealy to succeed Sir l'ennis Le Merchant as legal secretary of the Board of Trade. Mr. Booth's office will be abo lished. These changes will cause a considerable saving to the public. . MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, cf which 1.000 American were taken for export, and' 2,500 American and 500 Surat on speculation, The market was firm at p. per lb. advance for American.— Railway Shares had a downward tendency. The price of Whrnt to-day is much the same, but some other articles are cheaper. There are numerous arrivals from Australia, the Cape of Good Hope, &c., but the dates have been anticipated through other channels. The steamer America brings mails from Canada and the United States. From the principal cities we are advised:of trade being in a very prosperous condition. A statement of the commerce of Philadelphia shows that the duties on imports received this year to the end of August amounted to 2,576,056 dollars against 1,881,725 dollars to the corresponding date of last sear. Freights were rather firmer, and Cotton tended upwards. From Canada we are advised that the colony is doing remarkably well. One party writing over states:— " This year, from all reports we have heard, the early and late sown wheat Las been less injured by the fly than that sown from the 25th April to the 15th May. From our own past experience we should have expected this to be the case. The wheat crop generally, so far as we have been able to ascertain, has not suffered injury this year by the wheat-fly, and will bo a better crop than we have had for some years." The editor of the Lake Superior Journal, gives the following account of gold discoveries.—" There were shown yesterday, by Captain J. Holleran, of this place, a piece of quartz rock, from Lake Superior, containing several dollars' wen th of pure gold. The gold shows it self in particles, disseminated through the quartz, the largest of which, as neer as we could judge from the appearance, weighs more than a dollar. He states that a friend in the mining country has discovered rocks of this description, of which this is a surface specimen, as its appearance clearly shows it to be; that there was no reason, object, or chance for deception, in regard to it. He brought it down in order to have it examined, and we saw it thoroughly tested in several ways yester day, and there is no question as to its being genuine gold. It is not, however, the first discovery of gold on the lake; geologists have detected it in several instances, and the lamented Dr. Houghton was confident that gold would be found in considerable quantities; and it has been supposed, from minutes made by him, and from re marks on the subject, that he knew more about its loca tion than any one else, and even much more than he had over made known." Accounts from Vera Crvz of August 20, alto that Payno, the Minister of Finance, had intimated in a re port made upo❑ the condition of the Treasury, that outing to the extensive smuggling carried on the Cus toms revenue was only yielding 1,000,000 instead of 10,000,000 dollars. A great number of the Customs officers had consequently been dismissed. Don Manuel Barco had been arrested at Matamoros for having ex ported 27,000 dollars in specie without paying the duty. Military colonies had been established at Monterey and Rio Grande, and at Monclovavigo there would shortly be ono in operation. It was rumoured at Chihuahua that peace would shortly be concluded with the Apaches. In the flamburp,h market up to last Friday an ex tensive business was still doing in Coffee. The rate of exchange on London was steady at 13 6f, and more was doing in Bills. Money was easier, and Stocks and Shares were quiet. At Amsterdam Dutch Securities still tended down wards on the 21st instant, the Ts o-and•a-Ifalf per Cents. being 57. Spanish Five per Cents. were very animated, and Mexican were better. Brazilian improved half per cent. The market for Public Securities is exceedingly quiet this morning, and flatter as regards prices. The paucity of business is probably the chid cause. Consols have been quoted 96i for Transfer, and 9611 96i for Ac count. Exchequer bills hare remained at 635. to 665. prc mium. The Forsign Sceuritics have been rather weeker than on Saturday. Spanish Five per Cents. have been lBf El i , and the Three per Cents. 381 to 38 1 4. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 33;x. Mexican Bonds have not been higher than 30i *, and Peruvian 81i. Russian Four-and-a-Half p er Cents. have Leen quoted 971. The Railway Share Market has rallied a little for one or two lines, but .in general terms may be described as wanting in buoyancy, and with a marked falling off in the amount of the dealings.
