Availing themselves of the horror inspired by the melancholy crime just perpetrated in the parsonage house at the village of Frimley, those who are in fatuated with the continental system of espionage and surveillance are at this moment actually taking occa sion to suggest its adoption amongst ourselves. Now, to our minds, there is something in the suggestion so contrary to the very genius of our constitution, something so diametrically opposed to the fun damental principles of our jurisprudence, that, even in the first agonies of dismay excited by the murder of this unfortunate clergyman, we must protest against it with all ima ginable earnestness. At the same time we cannot for an instant allow these publicists to arrogate to themselves a reverence for human life, or a solicitude for its conservation, in any way superior to our own. Enamoured with the arbitrary code of police preva lent among foreigners, they are certainly, with a vengeance, carrying out, to the fullest extent, the alterations hinted at in that phrase of STERNE— " They manage these things better in France." Our ideas in regard to the liberties of every Englishman, no matter what his position in the ranks of the community, are nevertheless so pro foundly fixed and so wholly unfluctuating, that we can never consent, without raising our voice in re monstrance, to see the dearest rights and privileges of British subjects juggled away simply for the delight of adjusting our criminal code with the tyrannical police system more or less in operation throughout the European continent. • It is one amongst the most sacred and beneficent principles of our Constitution, as we took an opportunity to remind our readers only the other evening, that until a man has been formally convicted of an imputed crime by a jury of his countrymen he is presumed to be innocent. Yet, in flagrant defiance of this principle, it is now-a-days proposed that, simply upon suspicion that such and such an one is burglariously proceedings shall be forthwith taken against him by the police authorities, as in the case of persons en gaged in defrauding the revenue by illicit distillation, or of insuring the national cur rency by a fraudulent coinage. In obedience, of course, a to such suggestions, no honest man would be safe from the irksome surveillance of an over-privileged police, prying into their do mestic retirement, and rendering their homes little less transparent than the glass-hives introduced into w -fan gled apiaries. Unquestionably the pre t ntic r of crime is an object deserving of all reason ablE precautions ; but in the endeavour to protect so ciety it seems rather preposterous to lay it open to all kinds of despotic interposition. It is paying out with the one hand, and hauling in tighter than ever with the other. The notion would be simply ridicu lous for its extravagance, but that it is calculated to be so signally pernicious in its operation. Instead of acting in any manner so absurdly and ineffectively, we would witness the increase, not of powers to the police, for already they have ample in all conscience, but of the inducements to successful detection. We would gladly recognise, moreover, a more energetic course of proceeding in the way of bolding out rewards to such malefactors as might be disposed to batten on the evil gains accruing to Queen's evidence —adding to the crime of conspiracy, it is true, the atrocity of treason, but at the same time shielding the community by playing false to their accomplices. At the thirteenth hour, as it were, when the victim is actually sacri ficed, the Government comes forward with its prof fered recompense of 100/. for the discovery of the murderers. Pity it is such an inducement to dis closures, when those disclosures might have proved eff‹ctual in preventing instead of avenging an atro cious assassination, was not held out sooner by her Ma a EST Y'S Government ! Supposing:such to have been dons, the unhappy gentleman, whose life has just been sacrifioed in his gallant attempt to wrestle with three armed housebreakers, might still have been spared to his afflicted family, instead of being shot down like a dog in the very bosom of his home, and dying a lingering death, after two days of excruciating suffering. It were idle to pretend that no sufficient reasons had been given for the adoption of any such decisive course by the Ad ministrative authorities, when it is remembered that for months past this particular quarter of England has been in a state of perpetual dismay in consequence of the daring exploits of an organized gang of burglars. Incited by their previous and prolonged im munity from punishment to yet more atrocious acts of audacity, some of the members of this conspiracy have now covered themselves with the additional and damning guilt of murder. Only then doeti the Government come forward with its temptation of 1001. blood money, when the unfortunate Mr. HOLLEST is lying dead in his out raged home in Surrey. It would be unfair to con found together in character the impudent robbery and attempted murder in the very heart of the busiest part of the city of Lon don—the robbery and attempted•murder which very nearly ended in the death of Mr. CURETON—and this execrable crime perpetrated in the quiet residence of a clergyman in a secluded village. No human fore sight could by possibility, as we conceive, have prevented the former, unprecedented as it was in its consummate coolness and temerity. Whereas, in the latter instance, precautions were not only possible but absolutely requisite, seeing that so many warnings bad already been given of such bloody crimes being in embryo thereabouts. From the extraordinary excitement which cannot fail to arise in consequence of this dastardly murder of the Rev. Mr. FIOLLEiT, at Frimley, and from the peculiar horror inspired by its harrowing circumstances, we are sanguine that efforts " may at length be made to prevent, if possible, the recurrence of any similar catastrophe. Otherwise, in the absence of all reasonable precau tions, the country may yet again be horrified by atro cities as odious in the manner of their perpetration. The best answer to those who speak of the " worthlessness of an inconvertible paper currency," and the " inevitable depreciation that would take place in a circulating medium, not redeemable on de mand by a fixed and definite quantity of the precious metals," may be found in the manner in which the notes of the Bank of France were received in that country during the period between the 15th of March, 1848, when the Provisional Government issued the edict exempting the Bank from the pay ment of its notes in specie, and rendering those notes a legal tender throughout the entire kingdom, and the 6th of August, 1850, when the law for the re sumption of cash payments was sanctioned by the National Assembly. That paper currency was not so well ' secured as the national note, to which we have illuded in several recent articles, would be. It was receivable, but not exclusively, as the national note would be, in liquida tion of taxes, and of every national liability, and was also a legal tender in satisfaction of every.claim. But in place of being based on the entire property of the nation—of having every citizen_ responsible with all his possessions, real or personal, fur its liquidation, it bad only the assets of the Bank of France as a guarantee. There could certainly be but little doubt as to the unquestionable solvency of that establish ment, but still it could scarcely equal, certainly not exceed, that of the nation ; more particularly at a period of great excitement, when the securities held by the concern might, and actually were, greatly de preciated in value. The decree of the Provisional Government was, however, received with the utmost satisfaction throughout the entire country, and its effects were almost as striking as those which followed the virtual suspension of our own Bank Charter Act by the Ministerial letter of the 25th of October, 1847. There had previously been an enormous drain of bul lion, and pressing demands for discounts, that taxed the resources of the Bank to the uttermost. The de ficient harvest of 1846, followed by the commercial crisis of 1847, which was as severe in France as in this country, had materially reduced the available assets of the establishment, while the bills discounted analogous to our " other securities " were much heavier in amount than at ordinary periods. The directors had beea gradually putting on " the screw," although not so tightly as it had been applied in this country, and were slowly recovering their former position. Such was the state of affairs when the revolution of February occurred, which hurled the Orleans dynasty from the throne of France. During that trying period it was essential to the safety cf the country that the directors of the National Bank should pursue a liberal and unselfish policy. The commercial interests required a generous support, and it is but an act of simple justice to the Bank authorities to declare that it was freely and unhesi tatingly accorded. From the report of the Governor of the Bank, it appears that in 15 working days, from the 26th February to the 15th March, " the Bank had discounted at Paris the sum of 110 millions of francs (4,400,0001. sterling). Of 125 millions of francs which it held from the Treasury, it had re paid 77 millions, leaving 48 millions. The Bank had also discounted 43 millions in 14 cities, where it had branches, and it had also sustained commerce and in dustry at those places ;" and during that time the treasure at Paris had diminished from 140 millions to 70 millions of francs (2,800,0001. sterling). The difficulty of this position was materially in creased by the fact that the notes at that time issued by the Bank were for 500 francs (201.) and 1,000 francs. Large payments could only be made by means thereof, and they were practically useless for the purposes of daily expenditure. The decree of the Provisional Government, however, authorised the issue of small notes for 100 francs each, the great convenience of which were fully appreciated, and their appearance anxiously looked for by the people. Indeed it. was the want of notes of a convenient de nomination that caused the pap:dent of a temporary Agio, or premium for bullion, which, however, never exceeded 25 francs per thousand francs for silver, the standard of the country, or two-and-a-half per cent. Sucb, indeed, was the confidence entertained in the paper issue, that, notwithstanding ,the demand created ,by the political excitement of the period, if there had been notes in circulation for 100 francs, 50 francs, and 20 francs, which could have taken the place of the gold coinage, we venture to assert that there would have been no premium paid for silver. Tais could not properly be termed a "depreciation" of the paper currency, but rather an appreciation of the " metallic," in consequence of its great scarcity, and the extraordinary . demand, occasioned by the political events of the day. Whatever might be the " cause," the " effect" speedily ceased, almost simultaneously with the issue of the 100 franc notes, and from that time forth, for more than two years and four months, the notes maintained their full nominal value with respect to silver, and were never subsequently, even for a single:day, at kdiscount— the notes answering every purpose that could be desired, and enabling the successive Governments of France to encounter the difficulties of their positions, difficulties which could never have been surmounted but for the much-despised " inconvertible paper currency." The Banker's Magazine for last month has an admirable article on this subject, in which it considers in a truly philosophical spirit the causes of what is termed a " depreciation of paper," which may happen in two different modes, viz., "by a decline in the market value of the paper, gold remaining without change; or, secondly, by a rise in the market value of gold, the paper remaining without change." This is the point which should be clearly understood by the people of England, and which is carefully eschewed by the bullionists. To all who desire to arrive at a correct decision on this all-important subject, we heartily commend the excellent article to which we have just alluded, which will be found eminently deserving of mature and attentive consi deration. FIRE AT SODlEleti-TOWN.—About ten o'clock this morning an extensive fire happened in the house of Mr. Marsh, 26, Middlesex-street, Somer's-town. A lodger, it appeared, had struck a light previous to his leaving the house, and in a short time afterwards the fire was discovered. The engines from Holborn and other brigade stations soon arriNed, and water was abundantly obtained, but it was some time before the fire was extinguished, and then not until a considerable portion of Mr. Marsh's furniture had been destroyed, and the building damaged. No portion of the property is insured. THH DUKE or NEWCASTLE.--The accounts re ceived from Clumber yesterday state that his Grace was a little better on Monday, and appeared more cheerful. On Teesday, however, he was not quite so well; and it was not thought that any improvement had taken place. The Rev. Mackenzie iWalcott, M. A., of Exeter College, Oxtord, to be Evening Lecturer and Curate of St. James, Piccadilly. SCOTTISH HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday a quarterly court of the governors of this hospital was held on the premises of the corporation, Crane-court, Fleet-street; Dr. Webster in the chair. It appeared from the statement read by the se cretary that the average number of applicants at the last three monthly meetings was 250, and there were 180 pen- sioners. The amount expended for relief was 4821. The total amount received since St. Andrew's Day was 2,0441. 6s. 10d., which, with the balance brought forward, made the credits amount to 2,4111. The expenditure had been 2,325/., leaving 851. in hand. The proceedings of the cum niittee were confirmed; and, on the motion of Mr. Donald son, the secretary was directeal to write to the authorities of the parish respecting a•nuisance existing at the corner of the building. HOBART TOWN HIGH SCHOOL HEAD MASTER. - George Brien, Esq., M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, 1849, and son of Dr. Brien, R.N., has lately been appointed the head master of Hobart Town High School. Mr. Brien par ticularly distinguished himself at St. Paul's School, where he obtained the Camden exhibition; and also at college, for his great classical and mathematical attainments. He embarked on the Ist inst., on board the Olinda, for the scene of his future labours.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER a, 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Pays has the following in reply to the malicious insinuations of the Assemblee National as to the ob , ject of the visit of M. DE PERSIGNY to England. The Pays says— " M. de Persigny will be back in Paris in three or four days at farthest. Much has been said and invented relative to this journey, and even things exceedingly malevolent for the President of the Republic have been imagined. Thus, it was asserted, that M. de Persigny had gone to London to conclude a presidential loan. That was altogether unfounded, and men (were sur prised to see that rumour accepted by honourable journals who did not perceive that such insinuations against the Prince to whom the nation has confided the chief authority, could only injure themselres. We are living at a period when authority has been gradually stripped of all the attributes which imparted to it that prestige by which respect and submission to the laws . exist. Let those persons who profess' to defend that authority at least leave to it its last pre stige, that of dignity, veracity, and honour. According to information which we consider sure, the President has no thoughts of a loan either in France, or, still less, in Ragland. He has no doubt spent a large part of the sum allowed him by the Assembly last year, but it is well-known that the distributions of assistance and the expenses useful to his Government sufficed with the arrear to nearly swallow it up. When these funds are exhausted, it will be the poor who will suffer; the nu merous solicitors, the old soldiers in want, who flock to the Elytio, must wait until the generosity of the nation will permit the President to again accord some aid to their old age and a feeble recompense for their former services. As to M. de Persigny, he will return from London, we think we can state positively, without having been in any way occupied about international politics or a Napoleonian loan, since he positively went there only for his own private affairs." Count Mom' has addressed the following letter to the Bulletin de Paris, dated Champlatreux, Ist Oc tober : • Sir, —Several journals have copied an article signed by you in the Bulletin de Paris, and which I cannot pass over in silence. I read therein, M. Mol4 is not only the disinterested adviser of the President, he is the bond oflunion of the Conservative party, and if he re fused a year since, at a similar period, the Presidency of the Council, it is because he thought he could serve France more usefully in. the position of mediator, listened to by all, than in an official situation.' Never, Sir, have I been, or ever will be, the adviser of any Government, other wise than as a responsible Minister, or as representa tive of my country in the tribune. If the President of the Republic, at a period to which you allude, had dote me as he did other members of the majority, the honour to request my co-operation, I should not have communicated it to any one, and still less the motives which would have dictated my reply. There is, Sir, one part alone of the article which I do not disavow; it is that in which you say that I am far from thinking of retiring from political life. It is not under circumstances like the present that a man, even of my age, when he has devoted his whole life to the country, should think of re pose. So long as my strength remains unimpaired, and thank God I teal it so at present; so long as the electors shall confide their mandate to me, I shall remain one of the advisers and one of the representatives, the moat disinterested and most devoted of France. Ail to the union of the party of order, and the accord of all the shades of opinion of which it is composed, I call for them with my warmest wishes as I regard them as the indispensable condition of the safety of the country; I shall labour for that object with all my efforts, but as a simple workman. The work is too great for any one to allow himself to assume any other part. I beg, sir, that you will insert this letter as soon as possible in the Bulletin de Paris. I do not read that publication, and it was only by the article having been repeated by the other journals that it came under my notice; this will account for my not having replied to it sooner.— "Accept, &c., "MOLE." M. de BOURGOING, the French Ambassador at Madrid, has arrived in Paris. _ _ The Nepaulese Ambassador, JUNG BAHADOOR, left Paris on Saturday, for Marseilles, en route for Calcutta. The day before he gave a last sitting to MM. CLAUDIUS JA - CQUAND aIIdDANTON for the full- length portraits which they are making of him. Be fore his departure, the Ambassador presented M. JACQUAND with 10,000 E, and M. DAN TON with 5,000 f. for their services. The two works of art in question are to appear at the next exhibition at Paris, and then to be forwarded to Nepaul. One of the Ambassador's suite, who is an enamel painter, has, during his stay in Paris, taken copies of several pictures and portraits to serve as models for works to be executed when he arrives in bis native country. The Moniteur states that the French Consul at Palma has written to the Minister of Marine to say that a ship, 200 tons, had been found abandoned on the coast by some peasants of Formentara, and taken into the port of Ivica. It was in good state, com pletely rigged, and had its anchor and even boats ; but the only living things discovered on board were a fowl and a cat. There were no provisions, no papers, except a certificate of health given at Leghorn in 1842 to a man named Elvira. The only thing which could give any clue to the nationality of the ship were that a strip of a Tuscan flag was found on board, and that the build of the vessel appeared to be Austrian, Sardinian, or Tuscan. It was supposed that the ship came from Algiers. It bore every ap pearance of having been very recently abandoned. The Moniteur publishes the regulating price of the hectolitre of wheat. The price for the Ist class is 15f. 94c.; 2d class-Ist section 14f. 76c., 2d section 15f. 45c. ; 3d class-Ist section 16f. 43c., 2d section, 15f. 96c., 3d section 141. 68c.: 4th class-Ist section 14f. 5c., 2d section 141. 23c. ; giving a general ave rage of 15f. 14c., and as that of last month was 14f. 14c., there is an increase of lf.

The following letter has been addressed to the Mi nistry of Electoral Hesse by Baron vox RADowITz, the newly-appointed Foreign Minister of Prussia : " TO THE HESSIAN MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS ♦T WILHELMSBAD. " The Prussian Government has already expressed in a note dated the 12th September, t o i ts it self distinctly upon the recent events in the Electorate, t d'Affaires to the Hessian Court, communi ca t e d by him to the Hessian Ministry for Foreign Affairs. In thatin note, without referring to the position of the Electorate towards the union, of the 26th May, laying stress only upon the want of a proper organ for the solution of such difficulties in Germany, and considering only its duties as a neighbouring state—it energetically called upon the Hessian Government to consider seriously and con scientiously, whether all the means offered by the constitution of the country for a peaceful and legal solu tion had really been exhausted. The material question of right was not infringed upon. According to his instructions, as soon as the Chargi d'Affaires was offi cially informed of the transposition of the seat of Go vernment, he followed the Court of the Electorate to Wilhelmsbad. Acting in the spirit of the above-men tioned dispatch of the 12th, he declined to recognise the interference in the question of the plenipotentiaries as sembled at Frankfurt, under the name of the Diet. The Prussian Government further declared, in a note dated 2 lst September, that it could not recognise the said as sembly of plenipotentiaries as the German Diet, or as any legal organ whatever of the Diet, consequently it could not acknowledge any decrees or resolutions passed -by them as binding relative to the affairs of the Electorate. Considering the relations of a country which, from its geographical position alone, is so intimately connected with the Prussian territory, Eussia reserves to her self any further resolutions which her duty to Germany and to herself may render necessar y . We have re ceived communication of the publication of the Electoral plenipotentiaries assembled in Y the 21st, reserving to decree aFereaonrkd fionrgt at do publishedopwtehdi at t ahr Cassel tehseol up tl y ieo e nn s i t po e o r nt d e a, dated 23d Sept., their body the right to adopt such measures as they might d e em advisable for restoring and establishing a gal state of things in th e Electorate. The Prussian Government has given tha t serious consideration to le their Electorate decree which its contents &mended. It however finds therin no grounds to make it retract its farmer declarations; on the contrary, it (the Prussian Government) r e f us es to recognise the sa i d resolut i o n, of the 21st, of the A ssem bly sitting at Frankfort as an act of the Diet. As, moreover, further resolutions are re served in the same with regard to the Electorate, the Prussian Government, on the other hand, reserves to itself the adoption or such measures as its duty and its right may command. "In making this communication to the Hessian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the u ndersigned must add that the Prussian Government earnestly desires to be hold a competent Government, surrounded by the sanc tity of right, established in. the Electorate, as in all ogroundlegal t e h s a they t a t blishm h e a n v t e s increased a s h e a d v the e German states, and re gre t s t h e recent even ts also on the f ru d si i s o t n r u i s n t the minds even of loy a l su bj ects. Th e un d e r s igned created eate feel i ng c confusion takes advantage of this occasion to express his senti ments of esteem. " The Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairv, " VON RADOWITZ. "Berlin, Sept. 26, 1850. Advices have been received from Vienna of the 27th ult. The Wiener Zeitung, of that day, states that, ac cording to the new press law, every responsible editor of a newspaper or pamphlet, appearing in Austria, must be a citizen of the State; that, consequently, as the editor of the Friedens Zeitung is not a citiztni of the empire, the further publication of that periodical is prohibited until the requirement of the law shall be complied with. M. KrarrscuAcir has been condemned by court martidl, for insetting the following sentence in the Constitutional Bladt, of which he is the editor : " The time is past for making concessions to the press : we hear that the press is now to be bound by concessions." The elections for Wirtemburg are over; the great majority of the members returned are Liberals. Count NESSELR9DE is at Dresden. DENMARK"AND THE DUCHIES. We mentioned - yesterday that the Schleswig-Hol steiners had taken Tonningen on the 29th, and had attacked Friedrichstadt , whi c h th ey b a d b om b ar d e d. The firing had continued up to ten at night, but at that time the plaC' had not been taken, although a portion of the.town had been set on fire at five in the afternoon. The supplement to the Hamburgh Bor senhalle of the 30th contains the following additional accounts " HEIDE, SEPT. 29, THREE P.M.—The battle was begun at eight this morning by the battery commanded by Christiansen. Our gun-boats assisted stoutly. " From Suderstapel our dragoons made an attack, and the Husum road is probably occupied by them. The field artillery played from Suderstapel. The Danes fired but slowly from the side of Ditmarsh. The prin cipal fort of the Danes has been silenced. " FIVE P.M.—Friedrichstadt is bombarded, and is on fire. A second fort of the Danes has been silenced. " SEVEN r.st..--,',Fhe Lundener post-boat brings news that Friedrichstadt has been taken by two companies of our troops against 1,200 Danes. Fifty-four prisoners has been brought to Lunden. The Danes have retired to Garding. " TEN P.M.—The bombardment is continued. Four wounded Danes have been brought to Heide. To Lun den 163 Danish prisoners and fcur officers have been brought in. " RENDSBURG, SEPT. 29.—We await here news with great anxiety as to the action. A loud cannonading south-west of this town has leen heard this morning. No reports have arrived up to eight this evening. We must learn to-morrow what has transpired. An ad vanced post of ours lost yesterday ten men at the Bor merdamm, one killed, four wounded, and five prisoners." It is said that WILLISEN has expressed his de termination to level Friedrichstadt with the ground if necessary. The Danes have laid the whole level country on both sides the Treene under water. Von DER TANN commands the division operating against the right wing of the Danes, and General WIL LISEN, with the division under him, is watching the Danish centre. The King of DENMARK arrived at Flensburg, in company with the Hereditary Prince FREDERICK, on the morning of the 27th. Our Copenhagen journals state that the KING was about to issue another proclamation to the Duchies, countersigned by the great Powers, calling on the insurgents to lay down their arms within a given period, or the Danish troops would enter Hol stein. It is reported from Berlin that Baron BuLow, the Envoy of the Duke of Holstein to the Bunde stag at Frankfort, has claimed the right, on the part of his Sovereign, the King of DENMARK, to occupy the Duchy of Holstein with troops, if the Bund cannot or does not enforce compliance with the terms of its treaty. The Kolner Zeitung has a telegraphic dispatch from Hatnburgh of the 30th ult., stating that the Schles wig-Holsteiners have attacked and carried with the bayonet two of the entrenchments of Friedrich stadt. They took fourteen pieces of artillery. It is also stated that Friedrichstadt is now surrounded on all sides. ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 28th ult. quotes the following from the Gazzetta Popolare of Cag liari :—" The magistrates having assembled in council on the 21st, issued a decree directing that the Arch bishop (Monsignor MARONGIU-NURRA) should, within 24 hours, either retract in his own handwriting the excommunication he had pronounced, or leave the state, in which case the revenues of the diocese should be administered by the Government. The term having expired without the Archbishop having signed the retractation, he was ordered to depart. On the night of the 23d he was taken on board the royal steamer 'COWS, which arrived here on the 22d. It is said he has chosen Civita Vecchia for his abode." The Risorgimento adds that the popula tion of Cagliari, far from showing symptoms of agi tation on the occasion, gave on the contrary unequivocal marks of satisfaction. A letter from Genoa, in the Concordia, states that the Archbishop landed at Civita Vecchia on the 26th ult. FRANZON I the ex-Ar c hbi s h op o f T ur i n , h as deter mined to tak e up his abode in France. A letter from Naples, in the Corriere Mercantile of the 27th ult , announces that six of the judges of the Criminal Court of Reggio, in Calabria, who lately acquitted twenty political prisoners, have been sum moned to Naples. The Paris Debats has the following on the subject of the new organization of the Pontifical admi nistration : "According to our accounts from Rome, of the 24th ult., it appears that the division of the Pontifical States into five large provinces or departments, if there is no objection to this latter denomination from its Republican origin, is defini tively decided on. These depart men t s w ill comprise— the with its b an li eue, under the name of 1 ancient patri mony o f St. Peter, com- 1 prising coasts of the M e di terranean from Corneto t Rome;he Capital, th thee to Terracing, the Latium, the Sabine, and the por tion of Etruria, beyond the Appenines, under the name of Comarca Maritime; the Old Duchy of Spoleto, and the Perugian, under its ancient name of Umbria ; the Marches of the Adriatic, under the seine name ; and, lastly, Bologna, Ferrara, and all that important side of the Roman States, under the name of Rom a gna. The adminis trative and political moti ves o f the measure are easily seen. The Government, fi nding itself embarrassed between its sincere wish to grant a large part in p i:, t l ei er b nf l ot i c sr i nr affairs iantgh er t itso thanti h n e t e . s l nu a tp i i t po y no , ofimpedi ments readily conceived, rsa creati ng f or itself its n , d hasd the fear,sought unfortunately a means of an its promises, at the same time neutralizing a s much as possible the difficulties which might result from them.

M DARING ROBBER IN „ of a peculiarly ST. ritta:s CHURCHYARD.— A robbery dar i n g character, in one of th e most public thoroughfaresin the City , and close to the well lighted premises o f Messrs 'Allan and Com p an y , silk-mercers, was committ e d, at the early bout of seven o'clock in the evening, on Tuesday l as t, upo n Captain Bally , R.N., of Dat chet, B uc k s, in Chapter House-cour t, leading from St. P au l' s Churchyard into Paternoster-row. It appears that Captain Bally. who is staying a t the Cath edral Coffee-house, St. Paul's, had no sooner turned out of St. V . aul's Churchyard, to proceed through Chapter House-court into the Row, when he was attacked and beset ,by three well• dressed fellows, one Ivy-lane of whom tripped him up by the heels, by whom he was held ;while on the. g ro und ; the - other two, in the . meantime, ran sackiug. his breeches pocketq and robbing him. of his purse, containing eight soyereigns'a'nd some silver, with which they escaped through off with . their booty. From gas lights which were the strong in the immediate vicinity of the spot where the robbery was so boldly perpetrated 9 Captain Bally had a clear and distinct view of the fellows' features, so as to into Newgate-street, and got . clean he able to identify the whole of the gang should they: be apprehended by the City police, t o w h om informati n of the outrage was g i ven a f ew minutes after it had occurred. From the d escri p tion g iven by the c a pt a i n o f hi s assailants there is very little dol.bt (as they are supposed to be well .known thieves, frequenting that part of th e City) that their apprehension will be speedily effected. A HORSE LEAPING FROM A TRAIN.—On Friday morning a iingula r i nc id ent occurred con nected with the Shrewsbury t ra in d ue at thester at nine e'c lock.

MAJAEI and COMMEItCLAL NEWS. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy, and prices were rather in favour of bu)ers; sales about 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken on speculation. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham, at Id. to Birl.; 200 Bahia, at 8*(1. to 84d.; 200 Egyptian, at lid. to 81d.; and 400 Surat. at 54-d. to 6 1. per lb.—The Share Market was steady at previous rates. The safes of Wheat officially reported in the provin cial markets were last week 114,443 qrs.—a very de cided increase over the previous week. Upon the condition of the Liverpool markets we are advised by Mr. Joseph Robinson and Co. that Wool has been buoyant during the last three or four weeks, and that large sales are reported in Oil to the trade and speculators at higher prices, Tallow lik e wi se h av in g tended upwards. Dyewoods have again been dearer, but quieter within the last two days. About one-third of the East India Wool on the way home has been lost by shipwrecks. We feel gratified in learning from Mr. Francis Lyne that the movement in favour of a Tribunal of Commerce is meeting with very excellent sup port, and promises of assistance from gentle men cf great Parliamentary influence, and some of the most respectable,and wealily attorneys in the city of London have expressed themselves very favourabiy towards the proposal. There is a great deal of trickery going on in Califor nia at the expense of European consignees, and it is full time that it should be exposed. Respectable firms are to be found at San Francisco, but unfortunately, as in all new places, consigners have not had much choice, and have therefore sustained heavy losses. An idea of the prevalent evil may be gleaned from the following parti culars furnished by a local correspondent:— " In the early stages of manosuvring the goods were disposed of, and a bill of fictitious charges made out against the shippers, which, in most cases, left him little or nothing; while in fact the actual proceeds would have afforded a handsome profit; but as there were city lots to purchase and improve on speculation, or siies of up-river towns to be located, the funds were necessary to further such objects. This system has been changed to a certain extent, and a new one substituted. Mr. A. now ships Mr. B. a certain quantity of merchandise, the description of which Mr. B. is informed of by bills of lading or letters. The goods arrive, and Mr. B. fails to come forward within twenty days to pay the freight and redeem the same. The goods are advertised by the ship to be sold in bulk for freight, and the sale accordingly takes place. Mr. B. being in full possession of' the quality, quantity, and charac ter of the goods, employs a sub-agent to attend the sale, and purchase the same at less than freight, thereby bringing the shippers in debt, and pocketing large profits from the re-sale of those goods. This is the way in which thousands have been ruined, in shipping goods to this place, when the actual proceeds would have paid them a very handsome profit on their investment. " Another way in which the money of shippers is squandered, is at the Monte and faro tables ; and I would suggest that shippers, in future, come in person to attend to the sale of their own goods, and at the same time have an eye upon the acts and doings of par ties reported to belong to some of the most respectable firms here, or who are representatives of such at home ; and my word for it, the private gambling establishments of this place will be found to be their frequent resort, not as a matter of curiosity, but for the purpose of play ing their games of chance." There was no particular change in the Stock Market at Amsterdam on the Ist inst. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 57 1-16. Mexican Bonds were higher. The Fends have been quieter this morning, but with very little change in the quotations. Consols have realized 96k Exchequer-bills have been 635. to 665., and India Bonds 84s. to 87s. premium. The Rentes at Paris have improved a little, but this has no particular influence here; the proceedings in Holstein, and the impression that there will be rather a stormy session in the French Legislature, deterring speculation fur a rise, The Foreign Stock Market has been rather inactive, but full prices have been obtained. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 18k, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 33*. Mexican Bonds have realised 311 k, and Grenada 181. Russian Five per Cent?. are 1101 to 1. There is no prospect of the new Lombard-Venetian 3.350,0001. loan, advertised here, being a favourite in the general market, and arrangements will doubtless be made by capitalists, in the metropolis and abroad, to take the whole quietly among them, although on one rous terms to the Government, obliged, us it seems, to pawn its land revenue as security.

The Swedish and Norwegian General Consulate, London, Sept. 30. Sir.—l have the honour to communicate to you the following:translation of an ordinance, issued by the Royal Navy Board at Stockholm, under date the 23d of August last:— " Stockholm, Aug. 23, 1850. " The Royal Navy Board hereby make known, for the information and guidance of mariners, that a leading light, showing a constant stationary flame, immediately bordered with darkness, in N.l E. of the compass, and exhibited from a sidereal lamp, with reflectors, has been recently placed on a rock, called Naskubben, situated is N. let. 59 deg. 52 min. 40 sec., and long. 19 deg. 5 m in. east of Greenwich, close to Simpnas Point, and not far from the village of Simpnas, about 3,200 ells (6,400 feet), or about a quarter of a nautical mile S. -;,1 W. front the Simpnas beacon. This light, which is placed 22 feet above the level of the sea, ought to be seen during e clear but dark night at a distance of two geographical. or nautical miles, in all points of the compass from N. I E. E. about, to nearly S. to W.; with the excer tiou, however, of N. E. towards the Sea of Aland, in which direction the light is concealed by the beacon on Simpnas Klubb. " Navigators intending, by the direction of this light, to enter from the Sea of Aland, between the cluster of rocks, ought to steer towards the light, holding S. course, when the Simpnas Klubb, which is precipitately deep on its western side, will be on the port side of the vessel, at a distance of about 150 ells (306 feet); the beacon on Simpnas Klubb being visible even during 6 dark night. " The same course must be continued until the vessel is about 1,000 ells (2,000 feet), or the half distance be' tweets Simpnas Klubb and Bokubben, when the course must be slightly varied, or to full south, so that the HO becomes visible somewhat on the starboard side ; by holding this course, the navigator will go clear of the shoal-ground of Bokubben, which will be on the star' board side, at a distance of at least 150 ells (300 feet), and the point marking the shoal called Geflehasten, 1010 is on the port side, at a still greater distance. When the, 0 vessel has ar r i ve d un d er t h e l i ght, the latter must be 16 at the distance of about 100 ells (200 feet) on the star' board side of the vessel, and the former course, S. / W. , must be resumed; after which the vessel may proceed to the distance of about 2,000 ells (4,000 feet) from the light, when the point in Simpnas Bay will be on the starboard side, at the same distance as the light 115 0 been left, and the course must now be altered to S. te, W. By maintaining this course the anchorage ground et Rurnhhan may be sought for at the distance of shoal 5,000 ells (10,000 feet) from the light; on approaching which, the course ought to be changed still more to the westward, and the anchorage found by the lead, at distance of about a cable length from the north point 0 Rumshamn's Bay. " As general rules, and independent of the direction o f, the compass in sailin g t owar d s t h e li g h t, i t may h e o b serv ed that the navigator must endeavour to regulate his couree near to the line of demarcation which divides the strew light from the darkness, as the darkness will immediateli, occur when there is any danger of the shoal-ground et Bokubben, the light having been placed so as to avoid this shoal; and it is extremely necessary to observe tbio, on passing bet ween B o k u bb en and the shoal ground called Geflesten, the distance between these two point being hardly 300 ells (600 feet). Any considerable de" viution towards the east from the given line of d e marer Lion immediately creates danger of the shallow ground named. " The light on Natlubben will be exhibited for the first time on the 15th of September next, and will b° kept burning in accordance with the regulations affectioi the other lights in the kingdom." W.
