The directors of the B ink of E igland were gene rally censured by the friends and supporters of the Act of 1844 fur their management during the years 1846 and 1847. If the Act were to be defended, it was absolutely necessary to transfer the blame to some other quarter, to find a scapegoat; that should bear the weight of its transgressions, and " the Board" of Directors was selected as the victim. Even the Governor of the Bank was ready to concur in the arrangement, and to offer up the body, of which he was an influential and leading member, as a willing sacrifice. To a certain extent he pleaded guilty to the charges that were preferred, and with becoming humility acknowledged that " the Bank would have acted more prudently had they sooner raised the rate of discount." Sir CHARLES WOOD and Mr. JONES LOYD were, however, the most unsparing in their ac cusations. The Right Hon. Baronet, when moving for the appointment of the committee of inquiry, made a fierce ons'aught on the directors, and of all the witnesses examined during the investigation Mr. LOYD expressed the most unreserved opinions with respect to the course pur sued by the Bank, which he declared "to have been extremely erroneous and detrimental to the public in terest," and which he asserted " was only stopped by the positive provisions of the Act." The Honourable Gentleman endeavoured to take credit to his favourite measures for having arrested a system of procedure that " must have ended in the most disastrous consequences." He appeared, however, to have forgotten the fact that it was the passing of the Act that induced the directors to reduce the rate of interest, which had never previously been below four per cent., and the supposed freedom from the respon sibility under which they had previously acted, an opinion which was strongly circulated by the leading advocates of the measure. Sir CHARLES WOOD de clared that " the measure took away all discretion from the directors as to the issues," and that the " Bank department was, as it ought to be, perfectly unfettered in its operations, sulject only to a weekly publication of its accounts," and Mr. LOYD himself, in his testimony, admitted that, "it was distinctly stated by Sir It. PEEL, when introducing the Act, that he left the Bank of England, in its banking capacity, untouched and uninterfered with, to manage its affairs according to its own discretion, like any other banking concern." If the Bank, then, was left "perfectly unfettered in its operations," if it was left "uninterfered vvitb, to manage its affairs according to its own discretion," why should it be censured for availing itself of its liberty and endeavouring to make the largest profits fur the shareholders, and looking merely to its private interests ? There was another ground that rendered the re striction on the issues not merely impolitic but unjust. The Bank is considered bound to provide for the wants of the Exchequer, to make such advances as might be required for the liquidation of the public liabilities, and the maintenance of the national estab• lisbments. These advances are made on what are termed " deficiency bills," which are subsequently paid out of the accruing revenue of the country. On these points the B ink has "no discretion." It must give the required amount, whatsoever may be its own exigencies. Fortunately there was no such accommodation required by the Government in Octo ber, 1847. At the corresponding period in the pre ceding year, no less than 3,466,0001. had been ob tained from the Bank, and the payment of the divi dends, and, in fact, the maintenance of the national credit, the preservation of faith with the public cre ditor, depended on the advance. AIr.LOYD, in answer ,to the pertinent inquiry, " What would have been the condition if the average amount ---- - - of the Government advances had been re - quired in October, 1847, when the Bank reserve was reduced to its minimum ?" declared that " the Bank, in that case, must have diminished its advances in some' other form." other words, the commer cial community must have been sacrificed, by not merely a limitation, but a total denial of discounts. It must also be remembered that the necessities of the Bank would have required this step as well as a sale of Consols for its security. It was, in fact, the principal mesas . by which it could have weathered the storm, and the Lords' Committee did.not. "rely with any con fidence on either of the remedies, as likely to prove safe or effectual," even in sustaining the bank, much less in enabling it to advance some millions to the Govern ment out of a reserve amounting to 1,176,7401. only. The Act of 1844 might, therefore, not only have oc casioned the over-payment of the bank notes, but the nonpayment of the dividends also, and the violation of the national faith with the national creditor. Another grievous mistake committed by the framers of the Act was the limitation of the amount of silver bullion against which notes may be issued. Without any adequate reason, it was provided that one-fifth only of the amount of bullion can be kept in silver• This absurd restriction has been almost unanimously condemned even by those whose opinions are in other respects favourable to the Act. The Governor of the Bank, one of its most unflinching advocates, spoke strongly of the inconvenience and positive injury occa sioned by this most un wise regulation. The Hon. Gentle man said, " I consider silver quite as available a means for the convertibility of the note as gold. We have been limited to keeping one-fifth of our amount of bullion in silver. I think that limitation is too restricted. The silver can be readily sold in the market, and bank notes obtained for it. There is no merehandize that will sell easier than silver. By drppping a frac tion in price, we could get bank notes out of the market immediately." Mr. COTTON, another sup porter of the Act, did not think " there was any public advantage in the restriction," and that it would be wiser and more prudent " if the Bank were left unfettered in that respect," adding that "if the drain had been for any place but America the silver would have gone first, and they could not have had a surplus quantity." Mr. Hoasmer PALMER was even more decided. The Honourable Gentleman, who had twice filled the office of Governor of the Bank, thought "there was a very material inconvenience attending the regulation," explaining that " silver being equally available for continental payments as gold, and per haps more so, it was desirable that the Bank should not be restricted in the purchase of that description of bullion which was always marketable, and answered every purpose of correcting the foreign ex changes." It also appeared that this regulation led to even a greater reduction of the circulation in case of a run on the Bank than had been generally ima gined ; for if there had been a reduction of the gold bullion to the extent oi 400,0001., notes to the extent of 500,0001. would have been cancelled, viz , 400,0001 against the gold, and 100,0001. against the silver that. would become practically useless, being in excess of the proportion allowed by the law. The effect of this preposterous regulation was, that during the crisis a merchant, with a large amount of silver bullion in his possessi - m, was un able to sell it, or even obtain an advance upon it, and parties trading with the Pacific were generally compelled to sell the silver bullion to the continent, and not only sustain a very serious pecuniary loss, but be kept out of their resources about six weeks. From the evidence under this head it was manifest that the object of the Act could not be merely the securing the convertibility of the bank note, for, if so, there would be no restriction on the amount of silver held, which would in fact afford an additional gua rantee for the payment on demand, but that it was also to render money scarce, and increase its value very materially, and thus to increase the liabilities of debtor and the demands of the creditor. It was not justice to the latter that was required, but justice and something more. No wonder that the Gazette con tains such formidable lists of bankrupts, or that so large an amount is lost by bad debts, in each and every year. A more merciful policy might be found more beneficial to the creditor class, as it would be equitable to the debtor. It is not always advisable " to kill the goose that lays golden eggs." A very important judgment was pronounced by Mr. Commissioner FANE in the Court of Bankruptcy, Basinghall-street, on Friday last, by which a much disputed question will, we trust, be henceforward set at rest. This decision will be the more valuable in asmuch as another of the Learned Judges of that court had previously arrived at a different conclusion, and there is but tGo much reason to suppose that in consequence of he prevailing opinion the court was often resorted to for the purpose of vexation and an noyance, and compelling the debtor to submit to ex tortionate demands. A claim had been filed under the sth and 6th Vic., cap. 122, for the purpose of compelling the de fendant to give security for payment of a demand for about 1,300/. A preliminary objection was taken by Mr. LINICLATER, who represented the defendant, to the jurisdiction of the Court; the Learned Gentle. man contended that his client was not a trader within the bankrupt laws, and that proof to that effect should be admitted, as a sufficient answer to the summons, and that the Court had no authority to require a person who was not a trader to find security. On the other side, it was very ably argued that the only question into which the Court should inquire was the existence of the debt, and that the affidavit of the creditor, as to his belief in the trading, should be deemed sufficient in that stage of the proceedings; that the trading might be disputed if a petition for adjudication were pre sented, but not until then, and the deci sion of Mr. Commissioner GouLnuax, to which we have already referred, was cited in support of that view. Mr. Commissioner FAN 6, however, considered the objection well founded, and it appearing by the evidence that the alleged debtor had not been in trade during the last ten years, the petition was dismissed with costs. A slight consideration of the circumstances under which the enactment was sanctioned, and of the re medy given against the debtor in the event of his not complying with the order of the Court by giving the required security, will clearly show the justice and propriety of the recent decision. On the abolition of arrest on mesne process, in 1838, a clause was introduced, which it was hoped would have answered the purpose of bringing insol vent traders within the operation of the bankrupt laws, as effectually as the old system of arrest, whereby a person who lay in prison a certain time was deemed to have committed an act of bankruptcy. After some time, however, it was asserted that the then provision was practically inoperative, and that the effect of the indulgence was to make parties take vexatious defences for the purpose of delaying the fist, and enabling the debtor to make away with his assets, and thus to defraud the general body of his creditors. In order to remedy this grievance the sth and Gth Vic , cap. 122, was passed, which enacted that if the creditor of any trader should make an affidavit of his debt, and of his having delivered an account and required payment, the Court should summon the trader to appear, to inquire of him whether he admits or denies the asserted debt, or any part of it ; and any trader not attending on such summons, or refusing to admit the demand, and not making a deposition on oath of his belief of having a good defence against the claim, or not pay ing, securing, or compounding within a certain time, &c., &c., shall be deemed to have committed an act of bankruptcy, provided a fiat shall issue within two months from the filing of such affidavit. Here, then, it appears that the object of the statute was to pro vide against frauds by insolvent traders. The word " trader" is everywhere used as the party who can be proceeded against i n thi s summary manner. It is an essential feature in this case that he should be such trader, and the -nature of the penalty, viz., " that he shall be deemed to have committed an act of bankruptcy," showed that no other class could possibly be within the pro vince of the statute. What consequence would it be to a person not within the operation of the bank rupt code whether he had committed an act of bank ruptcy or not ? He might deny himself to his cre ditors, or leave the kingdom with impunity. The creditor could derive no advantage from the fact by vesting his estate in an official assignee. The former judgment, however, left the most important fact — the trading of the alleged debtor, which was the very foundation and basis of the entire jurisdiction, in doubt to the very last. It considered the belief of the creditor sufficient against the most conclusive testimony that could be adduced on the other side, and compelled a troublesome and vexatious inquiry into the existence of the debts, that ;night eventually be rendered ut terly useless. This inconvenience the judicious and equitable de cision of Mr. Commissioner FANG will remove ; and it will remove another evil that was beginning to attain very formidable dimensions, viz., a recklessness THE SUN, LOND'ON, ofswearing—of pledging a solemn oath to the belief of a fact founded on the most inadequate data. No person should presume to state his belief, more especially when that belief was intended to influence a court of justice unless upon sufficient grounds, and the Learned Corn miss:ioner will have rendered valuable service to the community in discouraging such vague allegations being put forward under the sanction of a solemn oath—an appeal to the DEITY, as to the truth of the ass srtion. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday mid yesterday. The correspondent of Galignanes Messenger thus describes the arrival of the PRESIDENT at Cherbourg on the sth; by way of introduction, we would remind the reader that the squadron of the Royal Yacht Club is at present at Cherbourg, as are four of her MA JESTY'S ships of war, having on board Admiral Sir JOHN OazMANNEY, Vice-Admiral Sir THOMAS COCH RANE, and Rear -Admiral Sir CHARLES NAPIER : " At noon to-say the roads presented a very animated sight. About forty of the yachts got under weigh, and ' stood out of the harbour. The weather was beautiful, and as there was a nice royal breeze' blowing, the sig'it"was really fine. In about two hours they returned, and after going round the fleet came to an anchor. The officers of the French squadron appeared to watch the movements of the yachts with much interest, many of them, particularly the Commodore Lord Wilton's schooner, the Zerifa, and the Marquis of Conyngham's Constance, being very beautiful craft. On the yacht's passing some of the French ships en their return to the anchorage, the captains ordered their bands to play Gad save the Queen.' Those of the yachts as did not join in the cruize, and which were lying in the inner basin which runs along the quay by which the President was to enter, were gaily dressed out in figs.. While all this was going on on the sea, the good people of Cherbourg were not less actively en gaged in preparing for the reception of the President of the Republic on the land side. About a mile from the port, at she entrance of the town, a triumphal arch, formed of evergreens, which had been for some days in preparation, received its final touch, and was surmounted with its inscription : " Au President de la Ri2ublique." For a mile beyond this point, the road, which is skirted by a lofty steep, was lined by thousands of the people, and the majority being of the fair sex, dressed in the old Norman caps, the scene was a very picturesque one. The road, on each side from the triumphal arch above men tioned, was lined by National Guards and troops of the line. A party of artillery were stationed on the Mont du Roule, a lofty eminence at the entrance of the town, to announce by a salvo of guns the arrival of the ex pected visitor, while the sides of the road and the streets were thronged with anxious gazers, all on the tiptoe of expectation. But, alas, there is a limit to all things, and that of human patience is not the most extensive. Half past five was the hour appointed for the President's arrival, and long before that time everything and every body was in readiness for his reception. The mayor, deputy-mayors, municipal, naval, and military autho rities, were all at their posts, but time rolled on; six o'clock, seven o'clock came, but no President ; and soon after a diligence arrived, the conducteur of which announced that the President was detained at Valogne, a small town some dozen miles off, in order to receive the clergy and review the National Guards, and that he was not likely to arrive for an hour or an hour and a half. This awful announcement acted like an electric shock. Every one began to express disap pointment, or I might rather use a stronger term, and say discontent. The majority of tho National Guards shouldered their muskets, and showed not " how fields were won,' but how soon they would commence an at tack on their dinners, after which they had long before felt a strong yearning; a vast portion of the crowd also followed their example. About eight o'clock the first signal gun was fired to announce the approach of the President, and the whole town was again on the move, but the entry of the President, which, had it taken place at the time appointed, would have been a triunspal one, was, I regret to say, not a complete but more than a partial failure. Horses had been prepared for him and his suite, which were in waiting at the triumphal arch, but from the lateness of the hour he did not alight from his carriage, but, after hearing and replying to a short speech from the mayor, proceeded on his route to the Maratime Prefecture, followed however by an im mense crowd. The respectable part of the inhabitants who were in the streets and at the windows scarcely uttered a cry, for in fact, they could not see the person to whom the cry should have been addressed, for it was so dark that it was impossible to distinguish who was in the carriage, and they only could guess it from seeing the escort. From those who did give an expres sion of their feelings the cry of "Vive le President! Vivo Napoleon!' was the prevailing one, though many cries of ' Vive la Republique!' were raised. A band of young gamins, about from 150 to 200 in number, evi dently organized for the purpose, followed close to the carriage, crying " Vive la Republique!" and singing re volutionary songs. That this was an organized gang, I can safely affirm, far I had myself before watched the motions of the band, and heard them passing the mot d'ordre from one to the other. Such of the National Guards as remained, wore those the least well dis posed towards the present order of things, and on their marching to the Hotel de Ville to de posit their colours, they generally shouted Vive Is Republique,' their band playing the 'Marseillaise.' The 28th regimeht of the line, one of the regi ments which fought so bravely in Paris in June, 1848, was marching past at the time, and they simultaneously and unanimously raised such a shout of Vivo la Pea• sident!' Vivo la Republique!" which was at the same time taken up by the immense number of people assem• bled, that the cry of the National Guard and their music to boot was completely drowned. The President alighted at the Maritime Prefecture. It was expected that after dinner be would have taken a promenade to the jetty to see the illumination of the breakwater, which had a beautiful effect, but the lateness of the hour prevented his doing so. The house of the Port Admiral, the entrance to the dock-yard, all the naval establishments, and a vast number of private houses were also illuminated. What makes this unfortunate delsy sti,l more to be regretted is that a manifestation of a somewhat hostile character has been rather antici pated for some days in consequence of their having been within the last fortnight several hundred men discharged from thtdockyards by order of the Minister of the Ma rine, in consequence, it is alleged, of the votes for that branch of the service having been too much curtailed by the National Assembly. It is evident that the au thorities anticipated some demonstration on the part of these workmen, from an order of the day published yesterday by the Maritime Prefect, in which, after an nouncing to the workmen the intended visit of the Pre sident, he says, ' If you have any demands or claims to make, remember that they must be made through your chiefs, who love you and merit your confidence; re member that any other conduct will be contrary both to the rules of discipline and to the welfare of the ser vice, and that it cannot be tolerated.' With all due ee ferenco to the superior ,judgment of those connected with the matter, I thiuk it would have been better to have contrived ea have kept the men on until after the President's visit." On Friday the PRESIDENT held a levee, at which all the English officers and all the members of the Yacht Squadron were presented. In the afternoon a grand banquet was givrn to the PRESIDENT by the inhabitants of the town, and in the evening a ball was given at the Prefecteure. The PRESIDENT was well received at the fete and at the ball. A review took place in the morning, in the course of which cries of "Vivo la Republique" were heard whenever an attempt was made to get up a cry of " Vive l'Empereur." On Saturday there was a regatta. During the course of the morning the PRESIDENT visited the arsenal, the dockyard, the breakwater, and each line of-battle ship and frigate in succession. On leaving the last frigate he visited the Earl of ‘VILTON, the Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, on board his yacht, the Xarifa; he afterwards paid a visit to the Eirl of CARDIOAN, on board the Enchantress. On his landing he was saluted by the whole fleet and by the batteries on shore. The effect of this salute, upwards of 2,000 pieces of ordnance being dis charged at one time, is described as having been sub lime in the extreme. In the evening a ball was given in the arsenal. The following was the speech of Lours NAPOLEON at the banquet at Cherbourg, in acknowledging the toast the Health of the PRESIDENT : " Gentlemen,—The more I travel through France the more do I observe that mach is expected from the Go vernment. Ido not pass through a department, a town, or a hamlet, without the Mayor, the Councils-General, and even the representatives demanding, in one part fresh measures of communication, such as canals and railroads—in another the completion of works already begun—in short, everywhere the adoption of such mea sur, sas may remedy the sufferings of agriculture and give a new impetus to commerce. Nothing can be more natural than the manifestation of these wishes; they do not, be assured, fall on an inattentive ear. But in my turn I must tell you that these much desired results can not be obtained unless you give me the means of accom plishing them; and those means lie in your co operation in strengthening the Government, and in warding off the danger of the future.—(Loud applause.) Why was the Emperor enabled, in spite of the war, to cover France re h ve lived with imperishable works, and the most wonderful of o which are t o b e f oun d h e re? It was that, independently ion, dnat gavea pheirmiodthew necessaryh e n the nation, power fatigued his genius, witu olu i to put down anarchy, to repress factions, and to make it triumph abroad by its glory, and at home by giving a vigorous impulse to the general interests of the coun try.—(Loud acclarna . ions.) If there be a town in France which ought to be Napoleonist and Conseria tive, it is Cherbourg—(Lou3 cries of " Yes, yes")— Napoleonist yes ) Napoleonist from gratitude—(Applause)--and Conser vative from a proper appreciation of its true interests. How can a port created like yours, by such gigantic efforts, be other than a striking testimony of French unity, pursued through so many conflicting efforts and re • volutions? But let us not forget that though unity may make a great nation, that nation cannot maintain itself a', the height of its destinies wept its institutions them selves be in accordance with the exigencies . of its politi cal situation and its material interesti.—(Loud acclama tions.) The inhabitants of Normandy know how to appreciate a visit as I now make; they have given me a proof of it, and it is with pride I propose as a toast, The Town of Cherbourg.'—(Loud applause.) I give this toast in presence of that sea which we have over comt—in presence of the fleet which has carried the MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1850. French flag so nobly in the East, and which is ready to carry it again with glory wherever the honour of the country may demand it.—(Loud applause.) In presence of these foreigners, now our guests, who may hero con vince themselves that if we wish to maintain peace, it is not from weakness—(Loud applause, in which the En glish heartily joined)—but for that community of inte rest, that sentiment of mutual esteem which bind toge ther the two most civilised nations of the world, To the port of Cherbourg.'—(Enthusiastic applause.) The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic dispatches : " Cherbourg, Sept. 6, Eleven A. at. M. le President left Caen at half-past nine, and reached Cherbourg at night. The Chief of the Govern ment was received along the road, particularly at Bret- Wyllie, Bayeux, Formigny, Carentan, Valonges, and Cherbourg, by the most eager and sympathetic crowds, crying, Viva Napoleon!' Vive le President!' The Prefect and representatives of the Manche received the Prefect at the entry of their department. The Mayors of the arrondissement of Cherbourg, on horseback, met the chief of the Government at two leagues from the town, and accompanied:him to the Maritime Prefecture." "Cherbourg, Sept. 7, hs!i-past Nine A.m. " Yesterday morning at nine o'clock, the Presi dent ree.ived all the authorities of the arrondisse ment. The reception lasted two hours. All the mayors attended with eagerness. There were pre sent also a great number of English of distinction, who have sailed over in their pleasure yachts to salute the Chief of the Govvrnment. At one o'clock the Pre sident reviewed the National Guards and the troops of the garrison, in the midst of a great concourse of the populations, who came in from ell points of the depart ment, and amidst the warmest acclamations. At three o'clock more than 700 persons assisted at a banquet given by the town to the President. His arrival and departure were saluted by cries of Vive le President,' Vive Napoleon.' The reply of the President to the toast of the mayor was received with repeated acclama tions. To-day he visits the arsenal." The Siecle has the following:— " It is said that the President of the Republic will have an interview with her Majesty the Queen of Eng land in the Isle of Jersey." The Assemblie Nationale, which may now be con sidered as ultra-Legitimatie, publishes a furious ar ticle against the President, warning him that should he attempts to act in opposition to the re-actionsry Members of the Assembly he shall be sent to Vin cennes, and assuring him that there are no Bona partists in France. This journal advises him to be cautious how he listens to the advice of his disap pointed adherents, and threatens him with vengeance if he shall dare to take the moderate Republicans, such as M. DUFAURE, to his councils. The Legiti matists, it would appear, are determined henceforth to make war upon every other party. General CHANGARNIER has ordered that no officer, or non-commissioned officer, shall attend the banquet which the Society of the 10:h December is organis ing in honour of the PRESIDENT'S return. The following are the rules of this society, as pub lished in the Ordre:— " General Organisers—Each general organiser shall have an arrondissement (say parish), and shall associate with himself four organising commissioners. The ge neral organiser shall carry with him the names, profes sions, &c., of these four commissioners to be selected from the ranks of the National Guard. The geneaal organisers shall be in direct relation with the central council of administration, to whom they shall transmit all reports and documents. _ " The Organising Commissioners—Each of these commissioners shall h ave e i g ht su b-commissioners, who shall remit all reports and documents to his chief. " The Sub. Commissioners shall associate with them. selves five chiefs of sections, who are to report either to the c mmittee of directors, or their immediate chiefs, all reports, documents, &c. " The Chiefs of Sections are to associate with them. selves five members of the society, who are to make re ports upon all subjects of inquiry either to the adminis tration or their immediate chiefs. The Ordre thus comments on these regulations : " This, then, is the organization of a society for mutual succour. Eh, Bien ! We ask has there ever been a se cret society more hierarchically organised? A highly competent personage made this observation yesterday— ' Change that one word, only one, and you have a mili tary constitution, the most powerful and the most active in the world; the word of command may be trans mitted from the head to the lowest soldier in a few mi nutes.' Yet this is what is called a pacific army. Why, the society of the 10th of December might become a real army to support a contemplated eventuality. The Na tional Atelier, constituted for good purposes, no doubt, yet showed in June to what such organizations might be turned, There are honourable men in this society, we are sure; but we warn them that their place is not in an association which is every day assuming more and more the character of a society secrete. M. Galin, the censor, who has enrolled 1,100 urfaxtbers within the short space of a month in this society, which counts only a year's existence, may tell us that they have already distributed 3,500 francs in relief. Our readers will, however, form their own opinion whether this Socieiy of the 10th Decemher is merely got up for th purposes of charity." The Corsaire says that this society numbers up wards of 96,000 members. The Pays denies that the society organizing an ovation for the PRESIDENT. It says : "Absurd rumours respecting pretended designs for a Bonapartist ovation, formed by men devoted to the Pre sident, on the occasion of his return to Paris, aro again spoken of. There is nothing serious in these reports, which are part of the revolutionary system, now too well known to merit attention. Th; same journal has the following on the visit of the ex-Ministers of LOUIS PHILIPPE to Claremont : " The visit of MM. Guiz)t, Damon, and Duchatel to Claremont has no political object; they merely go to present their respectful condolence to the august widow of the King of the French, and to the members of his family. From what has,been said to us by persons in relation with them, and eons( quently well informed, there is no intention whatever nf hold iug political councils at Claremont. The house of Or leans and its friends do not wish to do anything that can have a political appearance. Tkey respect the rights of France, and do nothing that could seem to thwart her wishes. It is asserted that it is in that sense that the honourable political personages who have gone to Claremont express themselves. Their sojourn there is to be but a short one, and they will soon be back in Paris." The Journal de Dreux of the 6th says :—" A sim ple and touching ceremony took place on the 30th ult. in the chapel of the château of Dreux on the oc casion of the death of the King Louis PHILIPPE. Since the revolution of February there have been no services in the chapel, and, in obedience to the neces • - cities of the situation, the chaplains confined them selves to saying a low mass. Although their inten tion was kept secret, a great number of inhabitants of all classes went spontaneously and tilled the religious edifice." Tne Archbishop of PARIS has ordered that the stalls which were established at the entrance and even in the interior of churches for the sale of ac counts of miracles, scapularies, rings, and other things used by the religious, shall be suppressed ; and also that placards shall no longer be stuck on the church doors.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREKIN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOQK EXCHANGE, SEPT. 7. Namur and Liege, 7—Northern of France, 14N—Sanabre and Mean, 2 1 4 • SPAIN. - _ Madrid journals of the 31 have been received. Madrid has returned all the Ministerial candidates by large majorities. At Saragossa AZEEDA , the Minis terialist, beat Escosuaa. by a majority of thirty votes only. General Pam has arrived in Madrid. The Gageta publishes the usual royal ordonance signed by M. BRAVO MURILLO, stating the mode of fixing the territorial taxation for the present year to make up the income of the clergy : also a second royal ordonance, signed by the Minister of Public Worship, declaring that of the budget for the clergy, amounting this year to 159,442,394 reale, the trea sury will have to pay 116,173,345 reals, the goods of the church and the territorial tax making up the rest. A letter from Madrid of the 22d sa) s : —" A change of the Ministry bas been for some days spoken of. It is said that the Marquis DE PIDAL is to quit the de partment of Foreign Affairs, and to be replaced by Count DE SAN LOUIS ; and that M. ZARAGozA, the present political chief of Madrid, is to be charged with the portfolio of the Interior. M. DE PIDAL i 8 to h , ‘•re, it is said, the embassy of Vienna, and M. Da CoLosinc is to return to his post at Lisbon. Up to this moment, however, nothing has occurred to indicate any immediate modification of the Cabinet. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 3.—Three per Cents. 33i ; Five per Cents. 14.5-16 money. Exchange on ondon, 40 50. FURTHER SINKING OF BLACKFAIARS-BEIDGE.-- Yesterday the alarm previously excited by the partial sink ing of the centre arch of Blackfriars-bridge was considerably increased by a further decline of the same arch having evi dently taken place towards the Middlesex shore, and by which large crowds were attracted throughout the day. It is believed that, should any further sinking occur, the eutho ritiee will direct _the closing of the bridge. GERMANY. The Austrian Cabinet replied to tha last Prussian note on the 2d inst. Austria declares her unwilling ness to admit any conferences but sulh as are derived from the Garman Diet. The Berlin Constitutionnelle Correspondenz of the 4th inst. states, that in consequence of a resolution of the Provisional Council of Princes, all the Govern ments of the League have peremptorily refused to join the Austrian" Bundestag." According to the Lithographic Correspondence of Berlin, Russia, Austria, and England have acceded to the wish of Prussia to have the Neufchatel question pacifically settled by the decision of the great powers. A letter froni Berlin of the 3d states that the French Government has not replied to the invitation sent to it by Prussia to co-operate with the other great Powers in the arrangement of the affair d Neufchatel. It is supposed that France will reply in the same manner as the other great powers on the point. The question to be decided, the letter says, is simply this—is not the right of Prussia over Neuf chatel as sacred as any other right ? It is said that the Austrian army of VORARLBERG will enter the duchy of Baden, but not with any hos tile intention against Prussia. The German journal of Frankfort of the sth an nounces from Cassel that M. LOAISTUOCEI, one of the Ministers, having refused to concur in the measures of M. Ils.ssitispaLuG in oppositisn to the Assembly of the States, his resignation has been accepted, and M. HASSENPFLUG has taken the portfolio of Finances, and issued a decree for the collection of the taxes. At the first sittieg of the Restri3ted Federal Council at Frankfort on the 2d, the Assembly ac knowledged that it was the duty of the Germanic Confederation to interfere in the question of the Duchies in order to put an endlto] the war, and ac cordingly the Council appointed a committee to examine and report on the best course of proceeding to effect that purpose. A committee was also named to take into consideration the proposition made by Prussia to Austria to confide the care of the federal property to a commission. The committee on the affairs of the Duchies were yesterday and to-day seri ously engage(' in their inquiries, and it is expected that measures will very shortly be adopted by them in the sense of a material intervention. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Hamburgh, of the 4th, says " The Lieutenancy-General of Holstein has con voked for the 9th the Chamber of Representatives at Kiel. It is to be expected that the Deputies elected in Schleswig will, in spite of the orders of the Prus sian and Danish Commissioners, and of the re-occu pation in that province by the Danish army, proceed to Kiel to take part in the deliberations. The prin cipal object which has caused this convocation is the necessity under which the Lieutenancy-General is placed of demanding from the Deputies new subsi dies, and consequently of imposing new taxes on the inhabitants of the unfortunate country for the conti nuance of the war. It is not possible abroad to form an idea of the immense sacrifices which this struggle has required since its coma aaament. In addition to military lodgings, levies, supplies of all kinds for the army, all the landowners have been on different occasions obliged to pay really enormous sums•—some of them even as much as 40,000 f., 50,000 f., and 60,000 f. ; and yet no result has been arrived at, and it is not possible to see the end of these ruinous sacrifices. The offer which M. KLAPROTH, formerly a Major in the Baden service, has made at Rendsburg, has been accepted, and a corps of volun teers, recruited in southern Germany, and of which he will have the command, is shortly expected in Holstein. The committee of assistance organised here in favour of the two Duchies has caused 1,000 com plete uniforms to be made for these volunteers. The volunteers are to arrive by little detachments, and arms are to be given them at Rends burg. Prudent men, however, regret that our town, which is exclusively commercial, and which has great interests at sea, should' not have remained entirely neutral in the quarrel between the Duchies and Denmark. The Holstein army being every day strengthened by recruits and volunteers, the Govern ment has made numerous promotions of subaltern and superior officers. The army will soon be stronger and more complete than before the battle of Istedt, and we may every day expect to hear of a general en gagement between the two armies. Colonel BaEID BUCK of Baden has placed his services at the disposal of Holstein. General DR LEHRRACII of Hesse, for merly Minister of War, is also expected to wait on the Lieutenancy-General to offer his services. It is generally remarked that the sympathies in favour of the two Duchies is stronger in the south than in the north of Germany A letter from Copenhagen of the Ist says—" The statement made, and often repeated by the jomeals of the north of Germany, that the French col,ffi e % M. LATOUR- DU-PIN, who was present as a simiLe spec tator at the battle of Idstedt, had been killed by a cannonball, is entirely false. It is the same with re spect to a rumour spread by the same journals, of the Danish General DR Macy having been wounded during the last general reconnaissance, and having died of his wounds. Both M. LATOUR.DU-PIN and General DR _Mimi are in perfect health at Schleswig." The Last NcIVS of Copenhagen of the 31 states that General WILLISEN has suddenly died at Rendsburg. The journals of the Duchies, however, do not mention such an event. NORWAY. A letter from Christiana, Norway, of the 28th ult., says : " The Duke of Eastern Gothia has arrived here with the squadron under his orders. All the Royal Family are nuw assembled in this town. It is positively stated that the Prince Royal will be nominated Viceroy of Norway. The Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom, Count de Loewenskjold has resigned, and the King has accepted it. The King gave yesterday a grand flee to the garrison of Christiana, and to the sailors of the fleet, at the new town of Oicarshall, near our capital. The English steamer, the Courier, coming from London, has brought Mr. Crowe, Consul-General of England in Norway, who is charged by an English company to solicit from the King the authorisation to construct rail ways for uniting the principal seaports of the province of Aekershuus. Mr. Crowe is accompanied by two bankers of London, who propose to establish at Chris tiana a bank for discounts and loans on mortgage." GREECE. The Cologne Gazette says— " Two reasons are assigned hero for the visit of King Otho to Germany in the present melancholy state of Greece. The first relates to the regulation of the Fut> cession. It will bo remembered that Prince Leopold of Bavaria, to whom the throne of Greece was secured in the event of the demise of King Otho without lineal descendants, resigned his claim to the throne, after the revolution in 1542, on the ground, that on ascending the throne he could not adopt the Greek religion —a sine qua non of the constitution, extorted by the September resolution. _ _ -" It is the wish of King Otho to hitr© his eldest son, now a child, baptised according to the Greek ritual, iu order that he may hare no difficulty in appointing him his successor. The second cause of his visit refers to a very con siderable property, yielding about 600,000 drachmas p©r annum, which comes to him by the death of the Grand Duchess of Bavaria, widow of Charles Theodore. There has been some difficulty about this affair, which the King hopes to terminate amicably by his personal inter vention." TURKEY. L-tters from Constantinoble of the 25th ult. state that the French Minister had presented a note to the Divan, declaring that France would consider any attack by the Porte upon Tunis as a cases belli, and that the Porte had disclaimed any intention of acting against Tunis. ITALY. A mass, for the repose of the soul of the Minister SANTA Rose, was celebrated in the church of St. Philip, at Turin, on the 31. The Grand Duke of TUWANY and his family re turned to Florenca on the 31st ult. It is announced in the Journal of Rome of the 30th ult. that the Pors has admitted M. LEVEL, superior of the French community of the Church of St. Louis, one of the prelates of his household. The Journal of Rome of the 30th ult. publishes a notification of the Ministry of Finance, announcing the issue of Treasury bills to the amount of .5,000,000 crowns, bearing interest at 5 per cent., in order to withdraw from circulation the greater part of paper money. Another notification for the special commis sion fur the sinking fund contains the regulations to be observed in the issue of the bills. SICILY. Accounts from Naples of the 30th ult. state that it was rumoured that an outbreak had taken place at Palermo, and that there was fighting in the streets. A letter from Palermo, dated a few days previously, thus describes the state of that city : " The Neapolitan army continues to be a distinct part of th© population; no Sicilian treats with soldiers save those who of necessity are thrown in their way. To give an idea of the state of society, the engineers who are making a plan of the surrounding city are each allowed eleven soldiers to guard them when at work. Filangieri continues the bayonet government, and does not hesitate to shoot on the slightest pretext. The Government, if so it can be called, appears to be very anxious about con cealed arms, and the possession of a rusty sword-stick has caused tho death of many an unhappy Sicilian. Dis content and poverty increase daily; and but for the pre tence of a large army, the whole islaud would again hoist the revolutionary standard." Mr. W. Carter held an inquest on Saturday at the Plough Inn, Plough-bridge, Rotherliithe, on the body of James Whitehead, aged nine years. The deceased and several other children were amusing themselves on Thursday last off the Surrey Canal, Commer c i a l D oc k s, w h en h e f el l into the water. - Every exertion was made to save the child, who was uofortunately drowned before assistance could be rendered. Verdict, "Accidental Death." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 4,000 bales, of which 700 American and 300 Pernam and Maranham were taken for export. The market clos d heavily. The sales comprised 3,000 Ame rican, 400 Brazil at 7.P. to Sid., 50 Egyptian at Bid., and 400 Surat at 4id. to s : ld. per lb.—The Railway Share Market was quiet, and (Awed heavily, with prices tending downwards. The — Corn trade in Mark lane is steady to• day. The quantity of Tallow shipp©d from St. Petersburgh to the 23d ult. was 46,250 casks. The tollowing report upon the Metal Market is by Mr. W. Short:— " A considerable business WAS done in Welch bars and rails in the early part of the month just ended, at 4/. 10s. to 41. 12,. 6d. per ton; but the market is now languid both in Wales and Staffordshire, although sales are nut pressed. The exports of British iron to India, from Lltidon to Liverpool, for the first eight months of this year, were:— In 1849. Increase. Tone. Tone. Tous. Madras and Calcutta 16,889 &gat 9.288 7,601 Boni ay 12,464 „ 8.730 3,731 China, &c. Total. 35,927 22,852 13,075 " The shipments for 8 mouths of this year were thus within 1,506 tons of the supply sent in the whole of 1849, when the largest supply on record was shipped to India; it seems, therefore, clear that either the wants of ludic have prodigiously increased, or we are sending too mach. &latch Pigs have receded to 425. 6d. for mixed numbers, and the market is without lite. The exports of British Iron to all parts of the world were in -1840 284,000 tons 1849 700,000 „ Thus the exports have gradually increased during the tai years until those of the last year of the series are nearly threefold those of the first. Notwithstanding this, the prices that rale do not cover the cost in any one department, which clearly proves that our produc tion has increased in a proportion surpassing that of our ex ports.". The advices from the Continent are of but minor inte rest. The statements relative to the crops are not uni form, for in some parts they promise mach better than in others, and it is difficult to arrive at a conclusion as to the average. By a ship arrived direct from Sydney we have accounts of May 9. One of the most prominent subjects noticed is the effort of Dr. Laing to get up a movement in favour of independence, on the pretence that the mother country will give its assent, and which the Sydney papers do not fail to characterise as ridiculous. The' meeting held at Melbourne was of no weight, and the pro ceedings were by no means orderly or unanimous. Busi ness in imports continue very brisk at Sydney, the supply having fallen off considerably for several months, both because of the limited number of vessels coming forward, and the length of the passages made by those which ar rived. Various articles were in request, which pre viously had been looked upon as unsaleable. Tallow had been lower, but was better before the present ad vices were dispatched. Wool supported full prices. The weather in the interior was too dry, although rains had fallen in some parts. The Bank returns afford gratifying proof of the increase of trade and wealth, both the cir. culation and deposits having increased. The Stock Market has been very heavy, and there is no inclination to enter into transactions unconnected with the settlement of the account, which closes on Wednes day. Consols have been 96 to 964 for Transfer, and there have been no bargains for time above 96k, showing so far that there have been more speculalious for a rise than a fall, and that these have now to be liquidated or carried over. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 984 to 99, and the Three per Cents. 961 to j-. Exchequer-bills are dull at 635. to 665. premium. The Foreign Market has been very inactive, and prices are for the • most part nominally the same. Spanish Fire per Cents. have been done at 19k. Mexi can Bonds have been marked 291 4, and Peruvian 82. Russian Stock has been firm at 96i to 97. Belgian Four-and-a -Half per Cents. have realised 90f, and Dutch Four per Cents. 904. Railway Shares are all cheaper, with some pressure of sales to realise profits accruing from the late advance. QUARTER TO THREE.
