The long-expected judgment of the Court of Bhaasnkat ruptcy in re EDWARD THOMAS DE atrEL D length been pronounced. After a stringent and 'searching investigation into the affairs of the unfor tunate young gentleman, during which every trans action of his life was laid bare—after a rigorous— .we h a d a l most said a vindictive—opposition, by which the final adjudication was retarded for eleven months 'from the time of striking the fiat, a certificate has been granted, unclogged by auy conditions. All the circumstances of the case were remarkable : the mag nificent inheritance to which the bankrupt had suc ceeded on attaining his majo.ity in 1845—the po sition he had subsequently occupied as a partner in a commercial firm of Bleat wealth and high respect ability—his operatic and thk atrical speculations, under - which his splendid fortune dwindled away as if Under a blight;. leaving him at 24 years an utterly ruined maiitnot only deprived of the 100,000/, into the pols?soiott_ and enjoyment of which he had entered three xesis, previously, and of his share of the - ''fits of .IWeatablishme n t o f w hi c h h e had been a memberc .but involved in debt to the amount of ; 90,000; and upwards, and, without a hope of ex. tricatingahimself; save by an appeal to the Court, which thtthuminity and justice of the British law had estabOhed for the relief of unfortunate debtors ; all excited a. deep feeling of interest and compasaion .1. - • 4 4,1, 4 2 ,-,4 ; - • 6,, ~.1..., 4 .

The stern rigour with which any breach of the com mercial code was regarded by the Commissioners of that Court the vast importance of its deci sions to the trading community, and the danger of establishing a precedent which might by any possibility, be tortured into a precedent for the justification of extravagant or reckless conduct, were also well known, and anxious fears were entertained lest in the discharge of his imperative duty the Learned Judge migbt have deemed it necessary to inflict further punish ment on one who had already been so heavily afflicted. These fears have, however, happily proved groundless. In an able and well-considered judg ment, which reflects the highest credit on the Learned Gentleman, Mr. Commissioner FANE, whose great experience in all matters relating to bankruptcy must give the greatest weight to his decisions, has exonerated Mr. DELAFIELD from the charges brought against him, and declared him entitled to his certifi cate, which it was insisted should either be altogether withheld, or that, if granted, it could only be alter a considerable suspensive, and on condition of devoting a large portion of hie future earnings to the liquida tion of his existing debts. The facts were simple. Mr. DELAFIELD on attain ing his majority had come into possession of 100.0001. bequeathed to him by an uncle, and was also entitled under his father's will to a reversion in the further sum of 6,000/. He was shortly afterwards admitted into the house of COMBE, DELAFIELD, and Co., from the profits of which he derived a further sum of 2,5001. per annum, so that he found himself at that early age in the enjoyment of a clear income of 7,5001. per annum. He had been educated at Ox ford, and there bad probably contracted certain habits of extravagance which the alumni of that University are generally supposed to acquire during their so journ, to at least as great an extent as classical knowledge. His fortune and expectations were well known. He could find no difficulty in obtaining any amount of credit which he required from the civil and accommodating tradesmen. The only wonder, therefore, was that his university debts only amounted to 3,0001., and that a much larger sum was not re quired. He did not immediately receive his money on coming of age, and being anxious to pay off all his creditors, he borrowed a sum of 4,6001. in March, 1846, which it was agreed should not be repaid or demanded without twelve months' notice on either side. In that year, 1846, he entered into a small theatrical speculation, bringing over the Brussels Operatic Company to sing in this country, by which he lost 2,3001. In February, 1847, he presented a sum of 5,0001. to his friend (Mr. WEB. STEIL), and in the latter end of August of the same year he withdrew his capital from the brewery and became the lessee of the Royal Italian Opera House, where his losses in two short years amounted to no less than 81,355/. Indeed he was "thoroughly ruined" at the end of the season of 1848, and, although he struggled on for a time and kept the theatre open, he had to fly the country to avoid arrest in April, 1849, and the fiat was struck on the 12 h July in the same year, which brought him within the jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy. The of to his certificate were partly on public and partly on private grounds—the public being, profuse and reckless personal expenditure and making away with his only remaining assets, when his circumstances were utterly hopeless. The gift of 5,0001. was also alluded to in this part of the case. Tne only private complaint was by the lender of the 4,6001., who had instituted proceedings for its recovery without giving the notice which he was bound to give under the terms of his agreement, and who was consequently obliged to pay the costs of the suit. On the first point, of profuse expenditure, it appears that his personal expenses amounted during the period that elapsed between his coming of age and bankruptcy to 22,0001., of which 3,0001. was ap plied to the liquidation of his Oxford liabilities ; his personal outlay then amounted to about 5,0001. per annum, or little more than two-thirds of his actual income at that period. It might have been impru dent not to live more sparingly. A. bachelor, without any incumbrance, could undoubtedly lead a very comfortable and pleasant exist ence on a much smaller income, without being compelled to submit to any great privations, or to deny himself any gratifications in which he thought proper to indulg , . But, notwithstanding these facts, it could not, as Mr. Commissioner FARE justly re marked, be termed " reckless expenditure in a person who had above 7,000/. a year." Neither could the gift o 5,0001. to Mr. WEBSTER, although such dona tions are by no means of ordinary occurrence ; for it appeared that at that time, and after mekiog the large present, Mr. DELASIE,I43 had 80,0001. remaining in the hands of Messrs. COMBS and Co. over and above every demand ; and the recipient of his generosity had been his most intimate friend during his college career, where he had rendered him services of the utmost importance, and it was also supposed that he was about to become very closely connected by a mar= riage, then in contemplation. This ground of com plaint, then, also failed. The assignment of the debts of the concern to Mr. BEALE, in April, 1849, was a more 'formidable point. There is nothing which the Court guards against with greater vigilance than any undue or fraudulent pre ference in favour of one creditor at the expense of the general body. Mr. DELAFIELD had assigned all his remaining assets to Mr. BEALE the very day of his departure from the country to avoid arrest. But a small portion only was for an existing debt; by far the greater part was to enable the performances to be continued, which gave the only chance to the bank rupt of in any degree retrieving his • position, and was (the expenses having been already incurred and en gagements entered into) the best course for the general body of the creditors. The matter did not therefore really call for much censure, and if it had, it had been condoned by the acceptance of 1,0001. by the assignee, with the consent of the general body of the creditors. The opposition, then, totally failed on public grounds, and the private matter was not more tenable. A gentleman thought proper to bring an action, contrary to the express terms of his own agreement; Mr. DeLartELD de fended it from not having received the stipulated notice. Had he done otherwise, it is by no meting improbable that he would be charged with having given an undue preference in favour of his old friend and college companion, Mr. EVERSFIELD. The Learned Commissioner most properly decided against the condition that was asked for. Nothing can be more impolitic than to clog the future in dustry, to mortgage the labours of any man who has no other dependence. It would prove a mill-stone about his neck, from which he could never extricate himself'; it would deprive the creditors of the chance of payment, which they might have at some future time from his honour. Not one case in ten thousand that pass through the Insolvent Court is afterwards paid through the steady industry of the insolvent. It may from future bequests, although the probability is that it prevents any legacy from being left to the party. It would, then: tire be useless to the creditors and most unfair to the bankrupt, from whom it would take aw a y ever y gleam of eam of hope . a As om to et t h h i e n g chance from that it would a fford his wealthy relatives , that alone coincide that rea son against it. All p ersons will, extra c t ingw therefore,s e f aososrtu s ufficient young in the propriety of the judgment at refused it, and bestowed his certificate on the un m an, who has received " a terrible is n i which we trust may be of use to him during his future exist ence. The rule which had been obtained from the Court of Exchequer, calling upon the Commissioners of Land-tax in the Holborn division of the county o f Middlesex to show cause why they should not meet at the usual place, and make an equal pound-rate for the several parishes and places within their division, was yesterday discharged with costs. The real merits of the case were not entered into; th ere was no decision on the true intent and meaning o f the 38th George 111., cap. 5. The Court deter mined that any jurisdiction it might formerly have possessed was taken away by the sth and 6th Win. IV., cap. 20 ; that consequently it had no a r au_ th att o he r e i ty Commissioners,to f that they had made such w and conelleto, a A ll lth in o t u e ig n h ts it a w n u d ppoutrporojeusess, binding , that i o less than 2s. 6d. in the pound was charged upon pro perty situated in one of the subdivisions which they had formed for their own personal convenience, while another and more prosperous district was permitted to escape for the comparatively trifling contribu tion of 1-Bth of a penny in the pound, or 1-240th part of that for which their neigh bours are held responsible. This decision goes to this extent, that the Commissioners, who totally disregard the trusts and abuse the ex tensive powers confided to their hands, are to be held utterly irresponsible ; that there is no tribunal that can reverse their decisions, or provide an adequate remedy fur the monstrous injustice inflicted under their authority, and that they are to receive their costs from the aggrieved parties, who may venture to complain of their erroneous orders. %V e cannot, however, regret this result. We have already pointed out that any judgment of the Court ulna prove utterly inadequate, under existing circumstances ; and that the in terference of the Legislature is essential to re store a full and perfect equality of rating throughout the entire kingdom. It is fortunate, therefore, that judgment has been so promptly obtained, as it will deprive the advocates of the existing system of their chief argument—that which has already been ad vanced by Sir CHARLES WOOD, viz.: " That all the remedit 3 which the law allows have not been already exhausted." Parliament must now enter upon the consideration of the question. It alone can provide a fitting solu tion for the difficulty ; not merely the tax-payers have complained of. the oppressive and unequal as sessment of the impost, but even the Commissioners themselves have applied for further powers. Sir CHARLES WOOD will doubtless endeavour to avoid the subject during the present session. It is, to him, a matter of but little moment how unfairly the charge may press on different districts, pro vided the stipulated amount be paid into the Exchequer. Non olet nummus appears to be his rule of action, and it will require no ordinary stimulus to induce him to take any step which has not for its object the obtaining additional revenue. But why should the independent Members remain idle and apathetic ? Can the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Buckinghamshire forget that his constituents are obliged to pay an average rate of is. 20. in the pound, and the electors of the adjoin ing county of Bedford Is. ld. in the pound, while those of Durham escape for lid., of Cumberland for id., and of Lancashire fur ? I d. in the pound ? Can the Premier even be satisfied that the citizens of London should be mulcted of ls, 04 d., while the inhabitants of Manchester and Sheffield only pay id. or one 1-49th part thereof. Can Lord NUGENT, the liberal and upright reformer, whose high rank and hereditary title has not diminished his zeal for the popular cause, be satisfied to see Aylesbury paying 3s. *I. in the pound, while Liverpool only gives 1-24th of a penny ? We are certain that a construction so impolitic and unjust cannot be sanctioned by any Honourable Gentleman. All that is necessary is, that the matter should be brought forward to insure an equitable decision. It is, however, left to the Government to decide on as a matter especially deserving of their notice. But so it will remain, and be shelved for an indefinite pE , ried,ifsome independent Member do not inquire into their intentions, and give notice of motion for leave to introduce a Bill, unless he shall obtain a satisfac tory assurance that it will be brought forward without any unnecesary delay within the present ses sion. We trust that the question may be speedily asked, that the aggrieved parties may be made ac quainted with what they have to expect from Minis ters. Meantime, the deputies from the different dis tricts should not relax their exertions. They have already rendered valuable service to the community by bringing under notice the existing inequalities, by the tracts they have published, and the proceed ings they have instituted. Let them persevere vigo rously and energetically, and they must succeed. " A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," and a speedy and an easy victory will be achieved. Mr. Bunn, the late lessee of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane and Covent-garden, has lately been giving his dramatic monologue at Derby and Liverpool with great suc cess. The Derby Mel cury, in noticiitiethis interesting tectin e, &c., says," While bestowing, without one single drawback, ui.qualified praise on every part of Mr: Bunn's performance, we are called upon especially to notice his exposition of the ordinary way of rendering the language which Shakspere has given to the witches in Macbeth, and his delivery of it in the way it undoubtedly ought to be delivered. Mr. Bunn's reading, of the second interview between the Weird Sisters is the most consummate mastery of the art of recitation, ac companied by the most energetic action we remember to have witnessed. In addition to the moat important informs. tion, Mr. Bunn delights us with those displays of humour that convulse the hearer with laughter. LETTER FROM THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.-A short time since (says the Court Journal) the rector of a parish situate in one of the Midland counties, having by dint of much personal exertion obtained subscriptions towards the restoration and repair of his beautiful church, still found himself unable to meet all the claims which the outlay had occasioned. To supply the deficiency, he wrote to many persons of wealth and eminence in the country, politely apologizing for the intrusion, and soliciting their aid. The folloNs ing is a copy of the reply which the worthy rector re ceived to the application which he made to his Grace : " F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to .11r. —. As Mr. feels that his letter needs apology, the Duke will say no more on that subject, but he must add that, as there is not a church, chapel, glebe-house, school, or even a pagoda, built from the North to the South Pole, or within the utmost limits of the earth, to which he (the Duke of Wellington) is not called upon to contribute, the : , tike is surprised that Mr. —, having already raised 7,500/. towards the restoration of his church, should make application to the Duke, who has nothing to say either to —, or to —shire." Immediately upon the receipt of the epistle the Rev. Gentleman was offered five guineas for the autograph, which he readily accepted, entering the amount in his subscription-hat as the Duke of Wellington's contribution to the fund. A BODY POUND IN THE THAMES.—Last even ing, between seven and eight o'clock, the body of a man was taken out of the river Thames, off Dowgate-wharf, Lower Thames-street. From all the appearances of the dress of the deceased, it appeared that he had been employed as a bargeman, or otherwise employed in canal-boats. The body was conveyed to the parish vault, wLere it. awaits a coroner's inquest. Passengers are now actually brought from Dublin to Liverpool for fourpence a head. Liverpool is, in conse- quence, infested by gangs of vagrants who have come over for the purpose of begging ; and a capital thing some of them make of it. A select vestry have issued an advertise ment requesting housekeepers to•discountenance the system, by giving no alms . at their doors to unknown parties. INDIAN NEWS.—Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house, when Sir Timothy Van. sittart Stonehouse, Bart., was appointed a p ro vi s i ona l mem ber of Council at Madras. Lieutenant-General Sir William Maynard Gomm. K.C.8., appointed on the sth inst , Com mander-in-Chief of the Company's forces on the Bombay establishment, was further appointed second member of the Council of that Presidency. A YOUNG WOMAN KlLLED.—YeAterday evening, shortly after six o'clock, a servant girl, aged 17 years, was observed to be cleaning an attic window of Mr. Vaughan, paint manufacturer and oilman, 56, Stone's-end, Blackman street, Borough. While some of the passers-by were re marking upon her foolishness in having placed herself in so dangerous a position as the window-sill, they were horrified to see that she had suddenly let go her hold, and, falling backwards, after turning over two or three times, she fell upon the pavement with a fearful crash. Medical assistance was immediately at hand, but all human aid was useless, her head being so dreadfully fractured that her death must have been instantaneous. Fortunately none of the pas sengers received any injury from her fall. PARISII OF ST. MART, NEWlNGTON.—Yesterday the poll of the above parish, which bad been appointed at the vestry held on Friday last, commenced at the boys' school-room, High •street. The question arose out of the recent borrowing of 40,000'., and making contracts for the erection of buildings at Walworth villa, for the accommoda tion of the infant poor by the board of guardians, without the consent or knowledge of the parishioners. At the last vestry a vote of censure upon the guardians was proposed, and in opposition to it an amendment was carried, express. ing approbation of their acts. Mr. Wills then demanded a poll, which was fixed for today. On the close of the poll at five o'clock, the numbers were—for the amendment, 83; against it, 37; majority for the guardians, 46. CATTLE FUOI.I AFRICA —A vessel which has aT• rived from the West Coast of Africa has brought several head of live cattle, as a portion of a cargo, the produce of that quarter of the globe, and consigned as merchandise to parties in this country. company was held yesterday at the company' o , DYFMGWN MINING COMPANY.--A meet , this Jewry, Mr. P.

I Id. ; the contemplated produce of the mine was twenty tons of lead ore per month, although the sale for the last two months had been only five tons; arrangements weie made for a supply of water power, and no further call was required at present.

A desultory conversation ensues, with refer ence to the management of the mine, which resulted in its being understood that a comnAnication should be made with the agent on the subject. An eel, a foot and a half long, and two and a half inches thick, cut off the supply of water to the Glasgow Police -office las.t week. It was found tightly wedged in the service pipe, which had to be broken to pieces in order to extricate it.

Additional particulars are given by them of the incidents which marked the recent journey of the PRESIDENT to and from St. Quentin—all indicating the aff..ctionate enthusiasm evinced fur him by the population. When distributing the livrets to the workmen of that town Louis NAPOLEON thus addressed them, his words being greeted with acclamations : " I am happy to find myselt in the midst of you, and I seek with pleasure for those opportunities which place me in contact with the great and generous people which elected me, for my most sincere and most devoted friends ate not in palaces, they are under the thatched roof; they are not in gilded halls, but in the workshops, on Vie public place, and in the country. 1 feel, as the Em -I,eror said, that the fibres of my heart respond to yours, and that. we have the same instincts and the same inte rests. Persevere in the honest and industrious pith which leads to comfort, and let these livrets, which I am pleased to offer to you as a feeble mark t,f my sym pathy, remind us of the too shut t sojourn which I made amongst you." Before leaving S Quentin the Prince proceeded in the midst of the tiring of cannot, and beating of drums, and ringing of bells. to the superb cathedral, where, at the foot of the high altar, he was met by the Bishop of SoissoNs, arrayed in full canooicals. That ecclesiastical dignitary then addressed him as follows country o othn neur,—Y ou '`Monsieur le President,—lt was wort h y y our hi g h c haracter, and the sentim ents w h ich di stingu i sh you , nut to wish to leave this town, whet e you h a ve received so m any proofs of afflctienate inpathy, without offering up a prayer to by whom t ho se govern w h o h ave b ee n invested wish the glorious m i ss i on of r e nderieg na tions happy. This act o f faith, Monsieur le President. honours you personally, and a l so h onours t h e re li g i on the interests of ehich you well defend. It will be fur guarantee of happiness. What g Fa r r egreater a r re n wa a r d d li c t a i n n t al there be for a h ear t so th o roughly F r ench as your;, and whi c h every d ay ma k es suc h no bl e address the PRESIDENT replied,— m g efforts to secure the moral a n d soc i a l we lf are o f our fi uo have interpret td my sentiments, and I thank you for it. With you I admit that the power of religion is indispensabte to consolidate the welfare of the country. I am happy that my efforts receive your blessing, and I begy ou to intercede with 'leaven for their success. ' After the conclusion of the religious service the PRESIDENT went in his carriage to visit the different manufactories, where he found the workmen at their labours, and-was received by them with the warmest marks of sympathy. At ten o'clock the PRESIDENT proceeded to the railway terminus in the midst of a dense crowd of people. From a house situated at the extremity of the Faubourg, and which was noted as the head-quarters of the demagogues and the Reds, some cries were attempted similar to those heard on the eve of the review; but they wore soon drowned in those of "Vive Napoleon," " Vive le President," " Vive l'Empereur !" The train started amidst salvos of artillery, and cries, a thousand times repeated, of " Vive Napoleon." Having arrived at the Fernieu station, the PRESI DENT, accompanied,by his brilliant suite, and attended by his aide-de-camps, diverged in carriages to La Fere, where he was welcomed with loud cheers and cries of " Vive Napoleon !" in the streets, and after wards entertained at a sumptuous dejeuner at the Maisie. At the conclusion of the repast, the Mayor of La Fere addressed the President of the Republic as follows : " The President of the R=public has permitted me to express to-.bite the wishes which our population have charged "me to make known. May you, Monsieur le President, accomplish the high mission which the whole country has confided to you. May you restore confi• dance and union to our country. May you consolidate eur new institutions, and secure with them the grandeur and the prosperity of France. If this work is immense, it belongs to you to accomplish it with the loyal co operation of all good citizens. Your presence in the midst of us gives us an opportunity of offering you ours, and rely oa it that it shall not fail you." The PRESIDENT replied as follows: " Gentlemen, I am happy, before quitting the depart ment of the Aisne, to pass a few memetits with you, to thank you for the welcome you have given me. This de partment, in fact, contains all the elements of prosperity which a French heart can desire; these elements will never fail. I have visited, yesterday and to-day , a town illustrious for its manufactures and its commerce, and now I see another town which has been always dis tinguished fur its excellent military spirit. In the same Way that religion seeks to propagate the; faith by honour ing its martyrs does this town honour itself by preserving its military spirit and traditions. We will also propa gate the traditions of honour and glory of which this , own guards the sacred deposit. It is for that reason that I propose a toast to the town of LI are. where the remembrance of those who have died for the country, and who serve as an example to the living, is always honoured. I give you—' To the town of La Fare, where are formed those sentiments- and that military spirit which are alwma dear to truly patriotic hearts. To the ,own of La " This toast was drunk with immense ap?lauso. Throughout the whole of the PRESIDENT'S excur ' 4ion the peasantry seemed to exult in the privilege of ejaculating that name which is cherished under the thatch, that greeting which has been sanctified by so many glorious recollections. At St. Quentin, at ereil, at Yontoise, at Chaunay, sat Compeigne, at Fer nieu, at La Fere, the favourite cry was everywhere, 't Vive Napoleon !" The artisans were equally as enthusiastic as the peasantry. At Cnaunay more than six hundred workmen em ployed in the refineries, preceded by a flag, filed off before the PRESIDENT, with cries a thousand times repeated of " Vive Napoleon !" On the PRESIDENT arriving at Saint Quentin, an old soldier of the Empire presented him with a silver cup, which he had received frotn the Emperor NAPOLEON as a reward fur some striking act of bravery. A beautiful token of the goodness of heart and magnanimity of the PRESIDENT of the Republic has just been brought to light by the conversation ex cited regarding the journey of M. TRIERS to see the Count DE NEUILLY. It is said that the Prince ex pressed great satisfaction at the recent visit paid him at the Elysee by M. TRIER S prior to his departure for England, and conveyed through that gentleman the expressions of his personal sympathy and regard for the Orleans family. Nor, is this de• (Aeration of sympathy merely hollow compliment, seeing that from the day when LOUIS NAPOLEON came into power he has been full of attention to the exiles, and has personally directed the transmission of the private moveable property belonging to them. He has even gone so far as to take a direct interest in the steps which were taken by an adherent of LOUIS PHILIPPE to save some of his real property from the depreciation with which it was threatened. Louis PHILIPPE has not been insensible to this kindness. A few months ago, a gentleman who had been attached to the household of Louis PHILIPPE in a high position, called upon him at Claremont, and, finding the passages almost blocked up with bales and boxes, made a remark on the sub ject, which produced the following words from the ex- KING Tout cela vient de Louis Napoleon, qui s'est montre envers nous plein de bienveillance—cet homme a le cceur grand et genereux." The fact it p culiarlynoble and magnan imous on the part of the Prince, bearing in mind his long exile when the ex-King was reigning on the throne of the barricades, and his six years' incarceration at Ham. Ministers, it is reported, in the event of carrying the grant of 3,000,000 f., intend submitting to the As sembly a proposition for the prolongation of the presidentship of Louis NAPOLEON for ten years. A curious circumstance occurred in the bureau of the Assembly, of which the Marquis DE LAROCHE JAQUELIN IS president, during the discussion on the augmentation t f the PRESIDENT'S allowances. In the C - Erse of a ve y animated speech which M. DE LA- RoCEEJAQUELIN made in opposition to the measure, he said that if 'hey w, re to have a Republic they ought nil to crake it a quasi-monarchy, or to place their President on the footing o f a sovereign. They ought to have either a real and complete Re public, with Republican institutions, or to have re course to a legitimate Monarchy—namely HENRI V. This expression roused the ire of M. ROUHER, the Minister of Justice, who exclaimed " Allez done le chercher, votre HENRI V• l" " Rather to-day than to-morrow," Was M. LARoCHEJAQIIELIN's answer, "if France wishes and will allow it." M. ROUHER replied sotto voce, but sufficiently loud to be heard by several Members, " J'airnerai mieux la Republique Sociale que HENRI V. !" It is evident, if this be true, that, whatever the 3ecrei wishes and intentions of the great body of theparty of order may be, the intentions of the Ministers of Louis NAPOLEON are by no means in favour of a restoration of the dynasty of the Bourbons. The Marquis of NORMANDY had a long interview on Tuesday with the PRESIDENT of the Republic. It is confidently stated that th e terms of the arrange ment of the Greek quarrel have been settled, and that they will be announced in the course of to-day. After this interview the PRESIDENT held a Council of Ministers at the Ely 43. The Moniteur announces that the PRESIDENT of the Republic has received a letter from the Elector of Hesse notifeing the death of the Princess ESIILINA Soruri of Denmark. The Prefect of Sr. Aude has suspended.ux. the Mayor of St. Cenat mid the Deputr - Mayor of Mo A Republican paper, of Clermont Ferrand, h as been seized by order of the Attorney-General . for works of ROBES publishing an article copied from the . PIERRE. On Tuesday evening the Assembly passed the Pensions Fund Bill for the working classes, with slight previous emendations. The amended war budget for 1851 has been distri buted. It demands 306,291,009 f., being a reduction of 13,229,682 f. Letters from Tours of the 11th inst. state that several attacks have been lately made by the Social ists on the soldiers of the garrison. A dreadful accident occurred on Monday near Mclun, on the railroad from Paris to Lyons. A lady named Madame BRUEURE, daughter-in. law of Baron ST. JAMES, travelling in the coupe of the diligence, wa- burnt to death before assistance could be afforded. The cause is attributed to some lucifer matches that had been,left in the carriage. A dispute has taken place between M. LUCIEN MURAT and General CUArGARNIER, in consequence of which M. MURAT has resigned the commaud of the 3d battalion of the National Guard of the banlieue of Paris. Galignani is, as usual, adorned with little announce. ments of surpassing horror—one mentions the mur• der of an adulterer at Croy by the injured husband ; another a disastrous fire at Marne, whereby 190,309 francs worth of property was destroyed ; and , another the sudden death of a young bride at Puy, during the marriage feast, when dancing with her companions. ABD-EL-KADER is not so ill as was reported. The Bourse was animated today, and a consider able improvement took place in the price of Govern.. runt stock.

The sales of Wheat in the markets which govern the duties continue moderate. The six weeks' average price is 395. 2d. per quarter. A great deal of attention bas been excited in the City by the . allegation that the Customs' au thorities have made further discoveries of fraud& upon the revenue, and for connivance in which cirtain parties are stated to have been held to heavy bail. The greatest secrecy has been observed in the matter, but rumour asserts that coffee is one article on which duty has been evaded. The idea is that the penalties claimed may be paid, and further investigation thus obviated ; but the Customs' euthorities are exercising great vigilance, and may pro baaly trace out other evasions. Accounts from Copenhagen still allege that the Schleswig-Holstein affair is not settled, and noes not look altogether promising. At Amst.rdam, on the Ilth inst., very little was doing in Public Securities. Dutch Two-and-a-Hall per Cents. were 56 ; Peruvian and Grenada Bonds were higher. _ • 7 1'he Engli-h Funds are very quiet, but exceedingly firm.

Baring Brothers have addressed a communication to the committee of Spanish American Bondholders to the t ffect that they have not received the remittance of 17,725 dollars, as advised to Me.,srs. Powles, Wilson, and Co., towards the payment of the dividends of 1.)«c., 1848, whereat Messrs. Baring assert that they have but 1401. in hand. It appears, however, that since April, 1849, and to the 19th February last, there have been remitted 135,986 reals to the firm of Montoya, Saeuz, and Co., as the proceeds of the custom-houses of Santa Martha, and that when instructions are received, the sum will be handed over to Messrs. Baring. The New Grenada Assembly has authorised the emission of 2,889„260 re. in Treasary-bills, bearing 6 per cent., to be offered in satisfaction of the over-due dividends on the foreign Active Debt, and to be received in part payment of import duties. The Foreign Securities are very quiet still. To morrow will be settling day. Mexican Bonds have realised 314 i. Grenada 18, and Brazilian small 88. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 344 and Spanish Three per Cents. have touched 38i. Russian Stock is firm at 109. Dutch Four per Cents. are 574 to . The Railway Share Market looks exceedingly good again, and some of the old and favourite lines are rather higher. The traffic of the Aberdeen line is improving very steadily, the increase within the last three weeks being from 1,1081. to 1,4701., exclusive of the allowance for the mails, which is estimated at 150/. per week - , making 1,6201. for the week to the Ist instant. It is stated that a company has commenced working the copper lodes ,on the property of the Duke of Bedford, near Tavistcck, known as Wheal Cr.bor. About thirty years ago the main lode pro duced, as far as worked, 27,490 tons of copper ore, realising 167,1021 . , and a profit of 35,0001. It is said that the deposits of ore found in Crehor Mine have been caused "by the happy combination at the same points of a lode, or crops course, or other intersection, and a stratum of killas Lye arable to the deposit of copper-ore in the lode traverse the same favourable stratum of killas, and are intersected by the same cress-courses as the main lode." It is to these parallel lodes that the attention of the present company is to be chiefly directed.

This important measure will sanction the sales of property formerly belcnging to the clergy.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 11th inst., in the Kolaer Zeitung, states that his Majesty the KING has passed a quiet night, and that his wound is proceeding favourably. Neptiations are being carried on between the Governments of Great Britain and Prussia regarding the treatment of political refugees. In reference to these negotiations, we would re commend our readers to turn to the perusal of a letter published in another portion of this evening's im pression of The Sun, addressed to ourselves by some of these very refugees. The letter deserves con sideration. SWEDEN. A letter from Malmo of the Bth states that orders had been received to provide troops to relieve those stationed in the Duchy of Schleswig. RUSSIA. A terrible catastrophe is described as having oc curred recently on the Vistula, the intelligence being conveyed in a letter from Mewe. The writer states that as a ferry-boat was crossing the river, on the 6th inst. (its passengers, numbering in alll2o persons, on a pilgrimage to Maria-Long, a town situated on the Drewen•) the boat began to leak. The passengers getting alarmed entreated the boatman to return, but be persisted in pushing forward. A sort of panic then seized the passengers and on their all rushing to one end of the boat it capsiz.d, and every one was precipitated into the water. Out of the 120 passen gers, many of whom were women and children, only forty were saved. When the letter was sent from Mewe fifty dead bodies had been found. TURKEY. According to a F. taternent conveyed to us, through the Austrian Lloyd's, it seems that a society of English capitalists has offered to the Ottoman Government to establish railways from Constantinople to the sea and to Salonica. ITALY. INSURRECTION AT PALERMO. The Costituzionule of Florence quotes a letter from Palermo, May 20, giving an account of a new attempt at insurrection in the vicinity of that city. It states that on the evening of the 18;11 some soldiers from the country stations arrived at Palermo, bringing the information that armed men %ere assembling in the neighbourhood and approaching the city. The generale was immedi ately beaten ; the troops, including the cavalry and artillery of the garrison, marched out to meet the insurgents, and a serious conflict, which lasted several hours, took place on the plains of St. Paolo. Overcome by numbers, the insurgents retired and dispersed. Not one of them was arrested. Five persons of the neigh bourhood were taken up and afterwards released, their innocence being evident. Many arrests had been made in town before the occurrence, but few after. A rumour was current that a movement was to have taken place at daybreak on the 19th in Palermo itself. The French soldiers at Rome are beginning to grumble at the number of parades they are obliged to attend in all weathers, in soaking rain as well as in broiling sunshine, while the ecclesiastical ceremonies and pontifical processions are proceeding. An Englishman, writing from the Eternal City, pays the following earnest and deserved tribute to the late gifted sculptor, RICHARD WYATT, a man of great genius and ability, who recently died tbere pre maturely : " I have today the painful duty of recording the death of Mr. Richard Wyatt, the eminent British sculptor, whi.se works are so well known at home, and whose fame is spread in every part of the world whole the fine arts are valued. It was only a few days since I visited his studio. and admired the last touches which his graceful chisel had given t.) the finished statue of Flora, on which he had been for s, .me time engaged. Judging from the health h then enjoyed, and the elasticity of his mind, I could not anticipate that ere the week was out I should have to attend his funeral ; but he was take❑ off after a brief interval, and he lives now only in his works and in a fame that will, no doubt, be everlasting. lam more than partial to his style, as, in my opinion, be surpassed all living artists in representing the pure and delicate beauty of the female form. His ' Nymphs' are t h e perfection cf id( al and physical grace, and I be lieve in that department of sculpture he was unrivalled. I understand that • the Penelope' in possession of her Majesty, which I have not seen, is a work of higher merit, but I only know him from those statues now in his studio—' A Nymph coming ant of the Bath,' A Shepherd-boy protecting his Sister in a Storm,' and, above all, from the Flora,' on the perfection of which his whole mind was engaged. As Mr. Wyatt was as much respected in private as he was eminent in public life, his funeral was attended, not only by artists of all countries, but oy every English gentleman now in Rome. His value as a friend will be long remembered oy those to whom he was attached, and his fame as a sculptor will outlive this age." The only reply likely to be conceded to the re monstrances addressed to the Pro-Secretary of State by Mr. FREEBORN, in reference to the examination of the hou , e of M. ERCOLE, seems to be that of the old adage—" Do at Rome as the Romans do I" NEW MAP OF CUBA.-With that surprising ra pidity for which Mr. Wyld has long been remark able, he has just issued from his establishment a brilliant and complete map not only of that splendid island of Cuba, which has recently been the scene of a disgraceful movement, but of the whole of the neigh bouring possessions of Great Britain and the United States. The map consequently includes the Ba hamas, St. Domingo, and Jamaica, besides a glimpse Of Florida and Yucatan—while a smaller map in the north-east corner gives a comprehensive sketch of the relative position of the whole in regard to the Gulf of Mexico and the adjacent margin of the two continents. The entire production is as singular for its clearness as for its elaboration. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. -- The annual examination of the girls' school took place yesterday, the 12th, at the central school, Borough-road, when the Right Hon. Fox Maule, M.P., presided. The large room was crowded to excess, hundreds going away unable to ob tain admittance. The attainments of the children appeared to afford the highest gratification to the assembled company. At Vhe close Ilr. Fox Maule addressed the meeting at some length, in a very effrctive speech, enforcing the value of education; expressing the high sense he entertained of the labours and efficiency of the society, and imprissing many excellent counsels on the minds of the children and their parents. LIVERPOOL CORPORATE BATHS.—No treaqure carried into effect by the town council has, perhaps, been of such extensive advantage to the community generally as the establishment of cheap baths; and that they are highly ap preciated is evident from the increasing patronage they re ceive, especially from the working classes of our popu lation, for whom they were more particularly intended. In the Paul-street baths the increased demand for bathing has been particularly remarkable during the past year. It ap pears that, for the quarter ending the 24th of Nay, 1849, the number of bathers was 11,000; receipts, 2001.; while for the same quarter in the present year the return was—bathers, 13,951 ; receipts; 2301. For the week ending the sth inst., the number of baths used was 2 677: receipts, 361. 13s. 9d. ; and for the corresponding week in 1849, 1,634, showing a dif ference of 1,043. The result is such as • fully to .justify the efforts now being made by the council to extend the advan. tages of these baths to other districts of the town.—Liverpool Mercury. • IMPORTATION OF TALLOW.—A vessel has arrived at one of the wharfs on the river side, with 86 casks, and a quantity of tallow, from Yarmouth, salved from the ship Samuel, wrecked on her voyage from Cronstadt ; and ano ther vessel, arrived in the river, has brought 85 casks of tallow from Yarmouth, being a further portion of the same cargo. • T we lve hundred lizards have been imp , rted into Plymouth from Jersey, and are intended for ext,ibitiois is that town.
