LUI LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1850 Disingenuous al the Ppologists of Austria have shoes n themselves from the very commencement of the revolutionary movement in Ilungary, we cannot call to remembrance any more tortuous mode of ar gument than that recently adopted by them in reference to the attack upon General HATIcAU in Bank.lide. With the intention of diverting the horror of the community from the sanguinary monster la'ely hooted through the streets of our metropolis, these sinister supporters of Absolutism have trumped up an infamous fiction of nearly five hundred execu tions under the Magyar regime, five hundred, of which not one has hitherto been recorded, " besides a variety of massacres," rxisting nowhere except in the recesses of their diseased imagination. Against any such odious misrepresentations we shall never cease from raising our voice in accents of indignant abhorrence. Without deigning to discuss the force of the accusation—regarding that accusation as bring beyond the reach of discussion—we content ourselves with reminding the public that until now not one single charge of the like character has been directed rgainst the leaders of the Hungarian Democracy. It has even been asserted of Louts KOSSUTIT, the chief in that illustrious movement, first throughout the whole of the period of his political supremacy, throughout the whole c f the time when his authority was acknowledved by his ccuntry men in the lofty and responsible post of Dictator, not one death-warrant received his signature, not one criminal was at his manda'a required to expiate his offer ces by undergoing the penalty of death by the rope or the bullet. Insomuch was this the case that the ex-Governor of Hungary has been taxed with hii abstinence from severity as with a weakness destructive to the vigour of his administration, and de•rimental to the interests of the Magyar common wealth. While the German Commander-in-Chief was butchering his prisoners wholesale, flaggellatirg women, incarcerating the noble and the ignoble in discriminately in the dungeons, saturating the planks of the scaffold with the blood of heroes, strangling the brave and the good with halters, and sometimes par tially restoring them to animation for the purpose of causing them to undergo the agony once more by a discharge of musketry (as was the case with the un fortunate BATTUTAN]) ; while such inhuman atroci ties were being perpetrated in the' principal cities of the conquered territory, the fallen chieftains of that country were retreating into honourable banishment with their consciences unsullied by a crime, with their hands unstained by carnage or confiscation, with their humanity only the more conspicuously displayed by having passed triumphantly through a myriad fierce and fascinating temptations. Yet, demonstrable as were these fects to the comprehension of the Euro pean multi'ude, there are actually found men at this period so rash and insensate as to impeach the Hun garian statesmen and the Hungarian soldiers as hav ing been guilty of cruelty and ferocity, of systema tic assassination and organi zed massacre. Experience has undoubtedly assured us that such are almost invariably the results of every unsuccess ful revolution. Directly the cause of any body of revolutionists has become fsibly desperate, slanderers have appeared from the obscurest corners of literature ready to blacken the reputarons of the purest, and to render repulsiva and detestable those who were re cently the objects of gencr 11 admiration. It was thus that on the rise of ti e Jxcobinical Triumvirate to power the shades of the Giron.iists were exposed t.) undeserved execration. It was this that on the for mation of the Direc`ory the memories of LOBES PIERRE, of COUTHON, an! of Sr. JUST were laden down by supposititious enormities beyond even those which were real y the frui's of them- ghastly domina tion. It was thus that subsequently to the 18th Bru maire the five.. Directors v e.e accused each with their peculiar evils, from tle vo'up uousness of the indo lent BARRAS to th fanaticism of the dreaming origi nator of the Theopla la ohropistA. It was thus that shortly after the fall of the Prcfs'onal Government, LAMAILTINB, even LAMARTINE, the patriot, almost ruined by his selr-. acrifc'n; devotion to Democracy, .was openly , charged with ht ving surreptitiously de voted to his own private purposes the public moneys', ~w~l i i `^~ lying in the coffers of the Exchequer, superadding the business of the peculator to the fury of the dema gogue ! No marvel, therefore, that the deceived and defeated leaders of the Hungarian Illvolution should be now-a-days taxed with the culpability always attributed to mi4ortune. No wonder that the de fenders of the Viennese Cabinet at least should endeavour to justify the proceedings of that de testable Government, by enumerating a variety of executions and massacres. Our only surprise is that the charge has not been attempted sooner, that the Austrian organs, both at Vienna and at London, have not bad the ingenuity to devise this scheme of prevarication somewhat earlier, so that its delay until the eleve nth hour should not pro Coke the scrutiny of the suspicious and the sneers of the sceptical. Even the most credulous must be startled into some degree of incredulity as to the veracity of these same mas sacres and executions, when it is considered that up to this moment not one word has been uttered against the Councils of Debreczin as being harsh in cha racter or tyrannical in treatment. But for the recent explosion of hatred to that most execrable of the Austrian soldiers, Harzeau, we should, in all human likelihoo 3, have never heard one whisper as to the executions ordered by the Hungarian statesmen, much less of the massacres attempted by the Hunga rian warriors. As to the latter, indeed, it would he Interesting to learn who could by any possibility have been the objects of these same human battues. Was the carnage that of cities, villages, or hamlets ? If of either, in what quarter of the Continent. In Austria itself it could not have been, because of the short time during which the Magyar forces were beyond the frontiers of their own dominions, and because, more over, of the ardour with which the German people sympathise, with the Hungarians. In Hungary itself it could not be, for this simple reason, that the inha bitants of all the towns, villages, and hamlets of that glorious country were heart and soul with the champions of their independence. In Transylvania it was equally impracticable, because of the depopula tion which had already transformed that mountainous province into a wild and precipitous wilderne's. `Where, therefore, by any possibility such massacres could have been perpetrated it would be.rather diffi cult to conjecture, but that we are conscious of still more odious abominations sprouting forth, day after day, in the prurient fancies of similar calumniators of the unfortunate. Happily, with the better informed portions of the community there can be but one opinion as to the treatment encountered by the German butcher of the Hungarians when first detected in the streets of our metropolis. That most infamous woman flogger could not but recognize in the sudden contagion of fury against himself personally the wrath inspired by his atrocities throughout the length and breadth of Christendom. Many leagues from his own country, separated by the waters of the channel from the Eu ropean continent, he still found that in an obscure district of the English capital his name was sufficiently notorious to rouse the passions of the working classes to a frenzy of abhorrence and indignation. The lesson accorded to his sombre and polluted conscience by the yells of the labouring population of Bankside must assuredly by this time have carried dismay into bis judgment; for it tells in sounds more comprehen sible than articulate language that the vengeance of the people, in this age of advanced civilization, is in no mariner restricted to a given territory, but that henceforth the family of mankind are so bound to gether by their common intelligence and their frater nal sympathies that a tyrant cannot, as of old, find re fuge from the brand of the popular Nemesis. Even the ruins must from this time forth fail to afford them protection as they did of old to MARIUS, or later in the days of R , iman decadence to the blind and destitu'e BELISARIUS. " The age of Ruins" is indeed obsolete, and the age of impunity to Absolutism like wise. Among all the countries scattered over the two hemispheres, the pu!ses of emotional sympathy throb in unison, none the less mysteriously than the intangible current flows along the metallic threads of the electric telegraph. The channels afforded to this sympathy are those, be it remembered, of the Fourth Estate, and so long as journalism sustains its vigilance and its integrity, so long will the nations of the earth be armed against their desolators—rit•ing up to pro nounce a malediction over their infamies whenever they detect a foreign tyrant among their visitors. Henceforth we would recommend the apologists of despotic government to contrive some more ingenious mode of argument for the purpose of palliating the enormities transformed by them into objects of admi- ration ; otherwi.e they can only contrive, by their impotent attempts at reasoning, to inflame still further the wrath of the community, to render them- selves contemptible, an t 1 the themes of their pane gyric more than ever objects of scorn and abom nation. It appears to be universally admitted that the ge net. 11 body of unguaranteed and non-preferential shareholders in the railway companies are not fairly remunerated for the amount of capital expended on the various lines, to say ncthing of the risk encoun tered in carrying their gigantic projects into execu tion. The nation has been enormously benefited by the wonderful facilities for intercourse and traffic afforded by the iron net-work by which the island is intersected. Time and distance are practically anni hilated ; journeys that formerly took weeks to accom plish may now be performed in a single day, and at a tith: ofthe former expenditure. It is needless toexpatiate on the economical advantages that have already arisen and must necessarily arise from these almost miraculous achievements. They must be obvious to every man p )ssessed of ordinary powers of observation. From he most exalted to the.humblest in rank and stati,pn —the wealthy nobleman, the poor coVier, the mer chant prince, and the small trader—all must concur in considering those through whose spirit and enter prise these mighty undertakings were orginally con• ceived, and ultimately carried into execution, as public benefactors of the highest order, deserving of the highest rewards which the nation could confer. It would, therefore, be an act of but common jus tice, as it would undoubtedly be one of sound policy, ;o afford (very possible encouragement to such par ties : to endeavour, so far as practicable, to render their speculations profitable, so that others might be induced to apply their capital to internal improve ments, rather than to lend it to foreign potentates for the most questionable purposes ; to develop the natural resources of the United Kingdom, rather than to enable a tyrannical despot to rivet the chains of a gallant but unfortunate nation struggling fur freedom. But public men are proverbial for ingratitude—they will not even be guided by expediency, if bold and compre hensive views be rt quired to discover that expediency. The youth who killed the goose that laid the golden eggs has many admirers and pupils amongst those who modestly style themselves "statesmen," and who consider themselves competent to manage the affairs of a mighty empire. From the beginning the parties interested in rail way property have been fleeced in every possible form and on the most frivolous pretexts. They were met at the very threshold by the most extravagant charges for legal and Parliamentary expenses. The most vexatious opposition was encouraged, which had to be, bought off at almost any price. The value of the land required for railway purposes was not merely quadrupled—that would have been a mo derate demand ; but the companies were taught to consider themselves well off if they escaped by pay ing ten times the pries that could be obtained from any other quarter. Under such circumstances it is by no means surprising that the expenses of construe tioa before the lines were in good working conditiOn far exceeded the original estimates. They were, in faci,7 about double what they would have been had the Government, the Legislature, and the landowners treated the companies in the manner which they me rited. This vast and most unnecessary addition - to the original expenditure was one of the principal causes why the profits have not been f quivalent to the reasonable expectations of the shareholders—that they are not fairly reinumrived for their enormous outlay. But it was not in this respect only that they were unju►tly treated by Parliament; competition was encouraged,which must, if fully curried out according to the trigioal in•entions approved of and sanctioned by the,Legislature, have proved absolutely ruinous to all parties concerned. The prevailing excitement was taken advantage of to extort the baldest terms from the different companies ; they were bound to give extraordinary advantages to the community. The tolls and rates were in some instances fixed so low that there could not by any possibility be an adequate return for the capital expended. The companies were compelled to carry the mails at almost nominal charges, which hardly covered the locomotive expenditure, and they were obliged to run what are termed " Parliamentary trains" on very favourable conditions to the public generally. It might be sup posed that these various obligations were sufficiently onerous, and that when they were punctually per formed no further difficulties would be interposed. But not only the Government of the country, but every parish through which the railways are carried, compel them to contribute to the national or local expenditure far beyond their fair and just proportion. From a return which bas just been issued, it appears that the amount of income-tax paid by different railway companies for the year ending the sth of April, 1849, was far Great Britain (Ireland not being Subject to the tax) 184,9211., representing a net in come of 6,164,038/. Of this we do not complain. It is just and proper that accumulated and realized property of every kind and description should contri bute in proportion to its ability to the maintenance of the national establishments, and the liquidation of the national liabilities. But the matter does not stop there; immediately afterwards we find that the pas senger-tax during the same period amounted to no lees than 237,909/. 13s. 10d. This impost is levied at the rate of 5 per cent. on the gross receipts from passengers. No allowance is made 'for the cost of earning that money, and if we estimate the total ex penses throughout the entire country at 50 per cent. on the gross receipts, and we take that to be a per fectly fair average, we find an additional tax of ten per cent. on the net profits, to which railway share holders are subjected. But even this is by no means the worst feature of the case. The debenture holders and guaranteed proprietors defray their proportion of the income-tax. But the passenger-tax falls altogether on the general body of shareholders, without drawback or deduction of any kind, so that it is by no means an over-estimate to say that the ten per cent. on the net profits, which the pas senger-tax amounts to, is increased to at least 25 or 30 per cent. on the amount distributed among the shareholders. They thus practically pay income tax to that extent on their dividends, while the for tunate holders of Tbree per Cent. Consols, or, in fact, of almost any other description of property, escapes for 2/. 18s. 41. per cent. on his in come. Is this equitable or just ? Is it what public benefactors have a right to expect from their grateful country ? We fearlessly assert that it is not, and that it only requires to have the matter properly ex plained, and held up to public indignation, to have this flagrant grievance redressed—to ensure the total re peal of the passenger-tax on railways generally throughout the United Kingdom. The Piedmontese Minister PINELLI had not been admitted to an interview with the POPE. The Statute of Florence has the following, with cut, however, guaranteeing its truth :—"lt is said that Lord PALMERSTON has transtnitttd to the court of the Vatican a note, drills n up in energetic terms, recommending it to rt frain from any violent measure against Sardinia, and pointing nut the danger of the system adopted by the Roman Cabinet with respect to that Government." The Duke of PARMA, by decree of the Mh ult., has closed the Alberonian College of St. Lszarus, on ac count, it is said, of the political conduct of the priests of the mission. The college had some days before been strictly searched by the police. The priests and pupils, who are not subjects of Parma, were commanded to leave the territory immediately, and not to return %ittitait special leave. (It has already been stated that several of the priests have arrived in Piedmont.) The inmates of the college who are Parmese subjects were immediately to return to their respective homes. As the seminary of the Bedonia is a dependency of the Alberoniau College, the Bishop of Piacenza was directul to take the ne cessary measures for the continuance of instruction to the pupils of that seminary. The property of the college was entrusted to the management of an ad ministration, and the Holy See was to be informed without delay of the circumstances of the case. CRAITHIE, SEPT. 7.—lt is somewhat to be re gretted that a stranger on Friday ceased some annoyance to her Majesty by persisting in following her in one cf her walks, and latterly threw a letter at her. The contents of the letter have not transpired, nor the name of the delin quent, and it is not likely there will be any investigation re gsrding the matter, the fellow having been quietly bundled off between two policemec, and aftetwards set at liberty. THE COURT AT B ALMORAL.—During the past week much of the time of the members of the Court has been passed in excursions around Balmoral, and to the principal points of interest and beauty in its vicinity. His Royal Highness Prince Albert. accompanied by the illustrious visi tors at the Castle, and the chief members of his suite, has also engaged in sport with his accustomed zeal and success. On Wednesday,talking Thursday, and F r id a y h e went out deer each occa s i on b roug h t home trophies of hie skill.

O n Friday her Majelke' and on s and a party ascended to the top of Bennaboard, from whence a commanding and diversified prospect is °teamed. Fortu nately the day was fine, and the view was held an ample recompense for the toil of the ascent. The Earl of Carlisle arrived at the Castle on Wednesday. The Very Rev. Prin cipal Lee, of Edinburgh, a's senior Dean o f th e Ch ape l R oya l , preached hefore her Majesty on Sunday.—/Lily Mail. We are sorry to learn that an accident of a serious nature happened to the youngest son of Earl and Countess Poulett. On Saturday, the 7th inst., the lion. Amos Poulett, when returning from a shooting excursion, had a dangerous fall from his horse, and sustained a severe fracture of the right leg, and it is feared a concussion of the brain. It is hoped that the Young gentleman is progressing favourably. Professor Airy having stated to the Lords of the Treasury that M. Otto von Struve, of the Imperial Obser vatory of Pulkowa, St. Petersburg,b, is expected to arrive in England with the standard bar employed in the great Indian survey, which had been entrusted to the Russian as tronomer for comparison with the standards used in the great Russian survey, and that it was important that the bar should be landed in its case with as little disturbance as possible, their Lordships have given directions that the b .r be examined with the utmost possible care, and at once de livered.

They refuses to leave the ground when or dered to do so, and one of them shot a black cock in his pre sence, which another of them picked up. Burnet, who was riding upon a pony, continued to follow them, and on his calling to some shepherds at a short distance, the poachers made off from the Duke's lands, and went over the bill on to Auchope. The gamekeeper still f 'lowed, and on coming up saw them squatting on the ground. On coming nearer to them they sprang to their feet, and one of them presented his gun and fired, when the shot took effect on the pony. Burnet then turned to leave, there being no one to assist him, when two other shots were fired, both of which took effect on the pony, and partly on one of the gamekeeper's arms. He is but slightly injured, but the pony has received a censiderable number of the shot in the neck and shoulder. —Kelso Mail. TREATMENT OF PRISONERS IN WESTMINSTER BLl DEWELL—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Bed ford, in the Westminster House of Cirrection, on the body of John Smith, aged 26. The deceased was in a frightful state of emaciation. He was admitted on the 17th of March, having been sentenced at the Middlesex sessions to six months' imprisonment for larceny. He had been but twelve months in London, four of which he had spent in prison —a part of the time in the House of Correction at Brixton, where he had the cholera last summer, and the other period in the Middlesex Prison. In August he was unable to eat food, and he was taken tolthe infirmary in a very low state. After several witnesses had been examined, the jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death from decline." DEATH BY FlRE.—Yesterday Mr. Payne, jun., held an inquest on view of the body of Sarah Ing, aged 30, a married weenan, living in Middle-row, Old-street, St. Luke's. On Saturday afternoon deceased left her home to see her daughter. She returned about nine o'clock, and went to her husband, who was on the first floor. In a few minutes she returned with a lighted candle in her hand, when in de scending the Stairs she fell, and her gown was set on fire. She was son in a sheet of flame, and her clothes were com pletely burnt before the fire could be extinguished. She was instantly conveyed to St. Bartholomew's hospital, where she oied in a few hours. Verdict, " Accidental Death." THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS IN ST. JAMES 9 s TALC—The following alterations are to be made in St. James's and the Green Park, in order to form the public gardens in front of Buckingham Palace :—The gardens will be nearly square, and will be situated parallel to each other on each side of the Mall; the present approach to the Palace, and the dimensions of each, according to the plan submitted to Parliament, will be rather more than 200 yards in length, by 100 yards in breadth. That portion of each farthest front the Mall will have a semi-circular projection, adding considerably to its area. In order to make room for the one on the St. James's-park side, about 2UO yards of the ornamental lake will have to be filled up, and a new head to the lake will be formed in front of tl e guard-house, at a cost of -150/. The garden on the Green-park side will be similar in shape to the one which encroaches on St. James's park, and each will have three gates, one at each end front ing the palace; one in the centre leading from the Mall, and one at earls end extending into the parks. The lower gate of the Green-park-garden will front Stafford House, and bears, upon the plan, the appearance of a private entrance; while the lower gate in St. James's-park will be of large dimensions; and is the one designed for the use of the public. The Mall will be ljned on each side with trees, forming a sort of wide avenue, as the grand approach 4to Buckingham Palace, and the entrance to this avenue will be formed by the marble arch, which will be erected at or beyond the termination of the gardens, at a distance of 300 yards from the front gate of the palace. The thoroughfare down Con stitution-hill will lead passengers past the front gate of the palace, down the avenue between th e gar d ens , an d out through the marble arch, and a similar route will be open from the St. James's-street gate. Beyond the marble arch will be four rows of trees extending down the Mall, and these, though an ornament in themselves, will certainly have the efilet of screening the view of the arch to be placed be yond them. Souse entirely new path-ways will be formed in St. James's-park, and the new head of the lake will be much nearer to Birdcage-walk, with which promenade it is not proposed to interfere. The gardens will be surrounded by a dwarf stone wall surmounted by iron railings. Opera tions have already been commenced by marking out the line of the intended gardens and the removal of the park-railings in front of the barracks. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—A. report is in cir culation, chiefly in consequence of a statement made by one of the provincial journals, that the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter authorities contemplate making some alterations in the trains and fares, involving, in a considerable degree, the comfort and convenience of passengers--in short, that they intend to take off the se(ond• class carriages from the express trains; to increase the ordinary fares, and to arrange the third-class trains, so that two days will be necessary to go ficin Exeter to London. There is not the slightest foun dation for the rumour, so far as the intentions of the autho rities of the. Great Western Company are concerned, though we believe there is some reason to fear that the Bristol and Exeter authorities may introduce some such inconvenient and ridiculolis alterations as those referred to.—llerald. rHE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The divisions among the reactionary party are be coming every day more palpable. The Patrie, the organ of the Bonapartists ' denounces the Legitima fists, the Orleaniste, the Assembly, in fact all who are imagined to be opposed to the permanent estab lishment of Louts NArotatopi in terms as se ve r e as those in which it has heretofore denounced Repub licans • while the Bourbonist prints, suc h as th e Assen:blie Nationale, the Opinion Publique, and the Ordre, apply to the Bonapartists those terms of vitu peration which they have hitherto devoted to the ex clusive use of the Red Republicans and Socialists. General CIIANGARNIER has ordered a large military force to hold itself in readiness to put down any attempt that may be made by the Society of the 10th December to get up a Bonapartist demonstra tion on the arrival of the PRESIDENT in Paris. MM. GUIZOT, DUCHATEL, DUMON, and DE MONTE* BELLO have returned to Paris from Claremont. M. SALVANDY, who had been to Claremont, has set out for Froshdorff. This has given rise to a rumour that the negotiations for a reconciliation between the two branches of the House of Bourbon have been renewed. Letters from Algeria mention that five new arrests have been made at Oran in connexion with the con spiracy discovered some time ago there; sixty-four personF, not including the military, are now in cus tody.

The reserve fund in cash had decreased by 400,000 florins, which was, however, counterbalanced by an increase of 2,000,000 florins of paper-money put into circulation. There has like wise been an increase of 2,250,000 florins in bonds and 1,500,000 florins in deposits in the public funds. On the other hand, the state loan had been reduced to 4,500,000 florins.

The Restricted Federal Council will ratify the treaty in the name of the Ger mania. Confederation, and Prussia and the States of the Bund will ratify it individually." The following is the protocol of the ratifications of the treaty of peace between Germany and Denmark xchanged on the 6th inst. at the residence of the British Minister in Berlin :-- PROTt , COL. " The undersigned,'.. de Bielke, Cherie d'Affaires of his Dauish Majesty to the Court e f Prussia, and M. de Sydow, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of the King of Prussia to the Helvetic Cenfedera tion, charged by tt tit- respective Gov. rements with the exchange of the acts confirming the ratification of the treaty of peace, concluded.under the mediation of Great Britain, on the 2d July last, between his 2ilskity the King of Denmark and his Majesty the King of Prussia, in his name and in that of the Germanic Confederatior, met for this purpose, at the invitation of Mr. Howard, CharE6 d'Affaires of her Britannia Majesty, at the resi deuce of the reprecentative of the mediating Fewer. " The undersigned having produced and read the in struments of ratification, to wit, M. de Bitlke seventeen copies of the Act (signed by his Majesty the King of Denmark), and M. do Sydew the Acts signed by his Majesty the King a Prussia, their Royal Highness. s the Grand Dukes of Baden, of Saxe Weimar, and of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, their Ducal Highnesses the Dukes of Saxe-Meiningen, of Saxe Altenburg, of An halt-Dessau,* and of Bemburgh, their Serene High nesees the Princes of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt and Son derhausen, her Serene Highness the Princess of Waldeck, their Serene Highnesses the Princes of Lippe-Detmold, of Reuss (elder), and of Reuss (younger), the Se nates of the Free Towns of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgb. " The undersigned having found the instruments in good and due form, proceeded to the exchange. " M. ea Bielke declared on this occasion, in the name of his Government, that in lending itself to the partial exchange, at the recommendation of the meditating Power, it retained the hope that, as the present Act does not yet contain all the States belonging to the Germanic Confederation, no delay will occur in his reception of the complement necessary to verity the ratifications of this treaty for the totality of the States foaming this Confederation. In faith of which the undersigned have signed the piesent protocol, made in duplicate, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms. ELECTRIC . TELEGRA PH A CROSS 'THE MERSET.-:--- We are informed that experiments arc about to be tried on the Mersey with the view of carrying an electric telegraph line across the river from Liverpool to Birkenhead. We hope that the dock authorities will now no longer delay to fulfil their long-entertained idea of establishing wires northward along the shore to Formby, &c., and westward to Bidston. No question can exist of the importance of such a measure, so largely calculated as it is to render the existing marine telegraph effective in foggy weather. On the occurrence of a mist, or an east wind", Liverpool, under the existing system, is entirely prevented from obtaining intelligence of chips off the harbour, waiting steam, &c. ; and we trust the opportu• nity will not now be permitted to lie unimproved. We be lieve the wire to be used will resemble that in use for the telegraph across the British Channel.—Liverpool Albion. SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER. — Yesterday Mr. W. Baker, coroner, held an inquest at the Shakspere's Head, Shadwell, on the body of a male child, which was found with a cord tightly t i e d roun d the nec k i n th e Th ames . A lighter man named Mill ege ear l y on S u nday morning f oun d th e body floating i n th e water; it was quite naked, and a strong cord was tightly fastened around the neck and under the knees, which were drawn up. Mr. Henry, a surgeon, said the child had been born alive, and had lived some time; but whether it had died from strangulation or any other Means he could not positively state. Verdict, "Found dead in the river." SUSPECTED INcENDraarsm.--Yesterday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a fire of rather a serious character broke out in the premises in the joint occupation of Mr. Child, a private gentleman, and Mr. Solomon Stern, an importer ( f foreign cigars, in Matthew-terrace, Hackney road. On the neighbours entering the building they found one of the rooms on the second floor, which was used as a " Done at Berlin, the 6th Sept( mber, 1850. ~(SignEd) " BIELKE. " HENRY HOWARD.

The heat at that time was so intense that it was impossible to approach near the place to render the least assistance in checking the fury of the fire. The flames speedily reached the roof, and were not extinguished until Mr. Stern's pro perty was really all destroyed, and the building partially gutted.

All the accounts received of the progress of harvest operations in Ireland are highly satisfactory, and in many places the potato crop is said to show symptoms of reviving. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1850. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterlay were esti- mated at 4,030 bales, of which 500 American were taken fur export. Ihe sales comprised about 3,500 American; 100 Egyptian, at 811 to 10d, and 300 Surat, at 5d to GKd per lb. The market eo steadily.—The Share Market was animated, and closed firmly. There is a steady business doing in Colonial produce, and the gnat decrease ,in the stocks of Sugar is ex pected to give strong support to the prices of that article. The quantity of English Wheat in Mark-lane to-day is small, but there are 6,170 qrs. of foreign. Advices from Copenhagen state that the ratification• of the treaty of pence between Denmark and Prussia and the Governments of Germany had been exchanged there. A Hamburgh journalist writes that the Danish Gene ral Oxholen was on his way to London, and with the re ported intention of negotiating a new loan. At Amsterdam on the 9th inst. Dutch Four per Cents. were rather higher, but the other denominations were without alteration. There was no change in Spanish. Tie Two ano-a-llalf per Cent. Bonds were 571 to 3-16. Scientific men in the United States are turning their attention v, ry generally to the consideration of she test [nude cf effecting a communication across Nicaragua, b sulject that has been discussed for more than 300 pars, and in a very elaborate statemeet made to the Ameri can Institution by the Chart é d'Affaires to Central America, there a. e some highly important particulars. It is shown, for example, that the great chain of the Cordilleras is wholly interrupted bttween the weAerr, extremity of Lake Managua and the Pacific, And that there only exist the great plains of Leon and Conejo, rising for a distance of about 3,000 yards to an el« ra tion of about 60 feet above the lake, thence subsid ing in a gentle slope to the ocean, and it is through this plain that the canal could pass. The length of the proposed line of communication for ships from sea to sea can only be determined by actual measurement, but the following calculations are made:— Length of River St. Juan ... 90 m Part of Nicaragua to be traversed ... 110 Length of Rio Tipitapa Length of Lake Managua From Lake to Realijo ... 50 ... 45 Total ... 303 miles. From this must be deducted 25 miles, in case the line is terminated at the Port of Tamarinda. In case it should terminate in the Gulf of Fonseca, it is probable it would not te many miles longer than to Realip; and in respect to the points to be attained, it would be nearer. The extent of actual canalization, therefore, would be to Realijo, 120 to 140 miles; to Tamarind°, 90 to 110; to Fons, ca, 100 to 120. It is said to be useless to enter in calculations respect ing the cost of the proposed work, for until there is a detailed survey of the entire line, it mu,t be wholly a matter of conjecture. It has been variously estimated at from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 dolls. Assume it to cost 100,000,000 dollars, which may be as near the truth as any other calculation, still it is enough at present to know that it is possible, and that its benefits, immediate and prospective, will be tufficient to compensate for the expenditure of double that amount, startling as it may at first appear. It is, of course, impossible to calculate with anything more than approximate accuracy, the advantages which, upon the score of economy alone, would result to the world from the construction of the proposed canal. Mr. Squier mentioned at the American Institute s most interesting and important fact, not only as con nected with the proposed work, but with the whole question of steam navigation to the Pacific, that a large bed of coal had been discovered in Sol Salvador, on the banks of the river 'Amps, about sixty miles from the Gulf of Fonseca. It is semi-bituminous in. character, resembling the Mount Savage coal. lie had sent speci mens to the Department of State, at Washington. In reply to a question as to the probability of the proposed work, after its construction, being interfered with by volcanic agency, it was said that the volcanic force seems to have nearly exhausted itself here many y ears ago, and that the permanent effects of volcanoes are generally essentially local, and have in nearly all instances been exaggerated. lie anticipated no obsta cles or dangers on this score. The agitation of this great question having been commenced, we sincerely hope it will erase until there is a practical solution, al though the American Company, having a concession, will undertake a railway in preference to a canal. The Stock Market is influenced mainly by the settle ment of the account, and prices have been somewhat firmer upon it. Consols have been 96i to for Transfer, and 96k II for October 15.

Mexican Stock has been heavy at 291 I. It is mentioned in the Mexican accounts that the Government, being greatly pressed for money, had been compelled to negotiate a small loan, and to account for the de.dine in Spanish we may notice an article of a very Bearish character that appears in the Espana, received this morning from Madrid.

ITICIDE IN THE LONDON DOCKS.--Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, police-constable 303 K, while on duty in Old Gravel-lane, Ratcliffe-highway, had his at tention attracted by a splash in one of the London Dock•, and on his looking over the bridge he observed a female strugg!ing in the water. He forthwith gave an alarm, and the drags were immediately procured, and in about twenty minutes after the body was got out and taken to the White Lion public-house, where the usual means were adopted to resuscitate the body, but without avail, life being quite extinct. Loss OF Two BOATS AND THEIR CREWS.—During a gale of wind on the 29th ult., two boats belonging to Yell. in the Orkneys, while crossing Otter Sound, by some unac countable cause were swamped, and all on board, viz., four men z.ncl a buy, perished. VENTILATION OF THE COURTS OF LAW.—The Courts of Exchequer and Common Pleas at Westmirster are about to be ventilated by the steam jet. The arrant ements are settled, and preparations are making by the tffice of Woods and Forests, under the direction of Mr. G. Gurney, Fresh air is to be brought in at a high level above the courts and the vitiated air withdrawn by a separate jet from each court. In winter they are to be warmed, and in summer cooled, by a peculiar application of this princip:e. ne ar rangements to be carried out under the superintendence of Mr. William Clark, late of King's College. EXTRAORDINARY VISITATION OF FLIES.--On Mon day last, for two or three hours in the afternoon, Liskeard and its neighbourhood were visited by a prodigious multi tude of flies—the atmosphere swarmed, and the ground was strewed with them in vast numbers. They appeared to be ant flies; a few without wings. How far they extended has not been correctly ascertained—it is eight miles to the east, and about sixteen to the west. During their continuance, the sky was beclouded till towards the evening, 'when the sun shone out, and they nearly all disappeared.—Veronport Telegraph. ITALY.
