Nearly a week has elapsed since, on Tuesday last, the Metropolitan Interments Bill was, by the Royal assent, transformed into an Act of Parliament. Con sequently, however unpalatable its provisions may be to ourselves and to those who coincide with our op i n i ons , we m ust bow to its ordinances hi all loyalty as to laws, like all the other laws of the realm, supremely authoritative. Nevertheless, while we thus avow our submission to the general decrees of the Legislature, we must in this particular instance aver, at once and without any circumlocution what ever, that the measure just completed by the triple sanction of the Lords, the Commons, and the Sovs- REIGN, is:altogether too pernicious in its character, according to our estimate of it, to allow of our re laxing any efforts to secure its amendment. On the contrary, such efforts should, under present circum stances, only be increased by every conscientious an tagonist of the system recently inaugurated. If, for no other reaion, we should still struggle for the de sired emendations, because the new Act authorises an almost irre onsible board to levy taxes, according to its pleasur n the people, thereby subverting the principle o taxation by the House of Commons alone, a principle long numbered among the vaunted bulwarks of our Consti tution. When, moreover, it is borne in recollection that this extraordinary and unjustifiable authority is bestowed upon a board subjected in a peculiar degree to clerical influences, it must be ac knowledged that the evil resulting from such a con cession appears more than ever enormous and unen durable. One other consideration in respect of the ill-ten dencies of the new enactment should be secured at once in the popular remembrance. It should never be forgotten until the time either of abrogation or of alteration has arrived, that virtually, we might even say literally, every person comprised within the districts mapped out in this Act relating to Metropolitan Interments is mortgaged at the rate of six shilling and twopence per head to the clergy of the Eitablishmeut. Indeed, the entire measure can be viewed merely as one contrived principally with an eye to enhance the amount of emoluments already enjoyed by the clergy of the predominant religion. Until this law was concocted several of the parishes now affected by its operation paid no burial fee whatever to the clergyman. Any such exemption, however, is henceforth rendered impossi ble, the Act securing to the clerical faction a certain return of clear profits proportioned to the number of interments. Again and again we have, since the first introduc tion of this measure to the notice of Parliament, ana lysed its various clauses with a scrupulous regard to the ready comprehension of our objections. Again and again we have demonstrated that the only per ceptible advantage immediately resulting from its provisions will be such as are solely enjoyable by the ministers of the Protestant Establish ment. Every such advantage, moreover, we have shown to arise simply from detriment to the interests of the population. Without this Act in ex istence, burials in extramural cemeteries are still op tional. With it, it still remains optional whether or no the old intramural graveyards shall yet continue open to interments. Such would never have been permitted by the Government had they been really desirous to secure the metropolis from the recurrence of the ancient abominations. They would, under these circumstances, actuated by that laudable motive, have rendered extramural interment wholly impera tive from this time forth and for ever upon the, citizen& of London and Westminster: Unhappily not such arrangement as this has been effected. Such! and such intramural places of entombment are still to be used according to the whim or convenience of the local clergyman. .Meanwhile, over the management of the extramural cemeteries, the Church, through its official representatives, is to exercise a supreme super. vision. All these deplorable concomitants of the mea sure recently passed into a law by the Parliament and the SOVEREIGN preclude us from experiencing any of that unalloyed satisfaction we should otherwise lrave derived from a scheme of such com prehensive innovation. Not that we in any manner depreciate the credit indisputably due to the Cabinet and to the Legislature for at length entering into the movement of reform in a matter affecting so largely the health, morality, and convenience of the popula tion. For inasmuch as the present Ministry adven tured upon this section of sanitary improvement boldly, though tardily, their conduct must be regarded as in the highest possible degree meritorious. For inasmuch as they marred the gal lantry of their first entrance upon the enterprise by the most shameful subordination of the public inter est to the individual and professional interests of the clerical Establishment, they are mainly culpable. It is against those odious and pitiful concessions to the clergy that we have almost exclusively pro tested. In other particulars we have always ap plauded, and shall always continue to applaud, the courage evinced by her MAJESTY'S advisers in attempting a change from adventuring upon which all preceding administrations had refrained. Gladly would this public approbation have been redoubled in earnestness had the Ministers proved only consistent in their undertaking, bad they insisted upon securing the desired reform in a state altogether unmutilated, without consenting to forward their project through a paltry bribe to the Church Esta blishment. Unfortunately such regrets at the present moment are worse than useless. The Bill bas passed into a law of the United Kingdom. Submission to that law is required from every loyal member of the community; but, at the same time, it is happily allowable to endeavour by every constitutional means to forward the scheme of emendation so far as to render its acquisition pro bable in the next session of the Imperial Parliament. The Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Act Amend ment Bill, which came down from the Lords, has shared the fate of other measures relating to landed property in the sister kingdom, which originated in the Upper House. We confess that we cannot re gret the rejection of the Distress for Rent, The Landlord and Tenant, or the Small Tenements and Revenues Bills, all of which were intended to confer more extensive powers upon the proprietors, and to place the unfortunate occupiers completely at their mercy. The Encumbered Estates Bill was, how ever, of a different class, and conceived in a very different spirit. It related to landlords and their creditors, and so far from endeavouring to extend the powers of the latter, it endeavoured to curtail them very materially. The whole course of legislation sanctioned in the Upper House this session ran le favour of the " territorial aristocracy," and that not only whether they were the actual and bona fide owners of the soil, or the nominal proprietors collect ing the rents, not for their own use and benefit, but for immediate distribution among the mortgagees and encumbrancers, whose agents they practi cally were. In every case, however, the hereditary lawgivers took the landocracy under their especial protection, and afforded them all the aid in their power against the conflicting interests, whether cre ditors or tenants. The representatives of the people have, however, taken very opposite views, and, as we have already stated, have consigned the various mea sures to the " tomb of the Capulets." Toe Bill now under notice had a threefold object : Ist, to limit the jurisdiction of the Commissioners, by altering to a certain extent the provisions of the 12 and 13 Victoria, c. 7, s. '22 ; 2dly, to place a minimum value upon property about to be sold, be neath which it could not be disposed of without the as sent of the inheritors ; and, idly, to afford protection from arrest to persons whose properties were brought under the control of the court. Some of these objects might be desirable enough by them selves, if judiciously and properly carried out; but other portions of the Bill were highly objectionable, being totally opposed to the policy of the original Act. Notwithstanding many deficiencies, this Act has on the whole worked well, and will, we have no doubt, ultimately prove highly beneficial to Ireland, by supplying a solvent and unembarrassed proprie tary, capable of improving the lands that may pass into their hands. By bringing these into the highest state of fertility, they will materially increase the agricultural produce of the country, and at the same time provide ample employ men t f or t h e peasantry, w h ose on l y capital and means of subsistence consists in their labour. The first object above referred to is one against which we must earnestly p ro t es t. I n p l ace of limiting the jurisdiction of the Court, we would extend it as far as practicable, and render it per petual, so that every person desirous either of selling or encumbering his property might be enabled to avail himself of its provisions, and to alienate or charge his estates, giving a goo d, valid, and unim peachable title, with " a new root," so that the com plicated abstracts and retrospective deductions . of titles—those enormous evils which impe de the free transfer, and materially reduce the value of real property in the United leingdoui—mignt be totally done away with. Indeed, we see no reason why a similar tribunal might not be established for this country also, so that vendors and purchasers, bor rowers and lende'rs might avoid the delays, expenses, doubts and difficulties, and insecurities of the present complicated and cumbrous system. Under the pro visions of the Act now in force, which it was desired to alter—we cannot say amend—the inheritor, if he desired to resist the sale, or, to speak technically, to "show cause against the conditional order," should prove that no part of the lands in ques tion were subject to a receiver, or in the possession of an encumbrancer, and also that the amount of the yearly interest on the encumbrance and other yearly payments in respect to charge pay able out of the income, do not exceed one-half the net yearly income after the payment of all tithe-rent charges, such part of the county cess and poor-rate, as is payable by-the owner, and all Crown, quit, and head rent. If there was a failure in any of these respects, if it appeared that the lands were in the bands of that " worst of all possible landlords," a receiver under a court of equity, or if an encumbrancer were actually in possession, or, finally, if the nominal proprietor had not for his own use and benefit a clear moiety of the profits after providing for every possible demand, the lands should be sold. The new Bill provided that the jurisdiction of the Court should not arise in any case where the interest and annual payments did not ex ceed one-half the net income. This would ex clude cases where there were receivers or the lands in the possession of encumbrancers ; and surely if the lands had passed for an indefinite period out of the owner's hands, it is just and proper that it should be hanged over to a new proprietor. Indeed, in any cases where a just debt could not be satisfied after a reasonable notice—say six, or even twelve months—we think that a competent portion of the estate or estates on which it was should be disposed of, in order to liquidate the demand, and to leave the surplus of the lands unencumbered and un embarrassed for the benefit of the party, who might then really be termed "the proprietor." This, which is palpably just, would be for the benefit of all parties, inheritors as well as encumbrancers, and would be as politic as it would unquestionably be equitable. The second point attempted by the Bill was to pre vent any lands being sold without the assent of the inheritor at less than fifteen years' purchase. Now, we confess that we are not indisposed to a minimum price, beneath which no bidding should be accepted. The fearful sacrifices of property, which have, in many instances, been sold at less than half their actual value, and which, so far as the proprietors and puisne encumbrancers were concerned, was practically nothing better than "confiscation ," rendered such a provision just and expedient. If the Securities for Advances Bill had passed into a law there would have been but little necessity for such enactments. But as that had, in common with almost every good measure of the session, been withdrawn, it was most desirable —we had almost said "essential"—to pass a-law, providing for a minimum price. But the present measuid was not suitable for the purchase ; it made fifteen years' purchase a minimum in every, case. No provision was made for a difference in the real value of the properties, although some might bd better worth twenty-five than others twelve years' purchase. The clauses should therefore have been materially changed before becoming worthy of receiving the legislative sanction. But we think the object might be attained by a fair comparison of the rents payable and the terms of the different tenants with the Ordnance valuation, and a provision that no lands should be sold at less than three-fourths or seven-eighths of the amount at which they were valued by a competent sworn appraiser, who had taken all the circumstances connected with the property fairly into consideration. The last object, that of enabling the inheritors to attend the sales of their estates, and the Courts of the Commissioners, without danger of arrest, was so just and proper, that we are really surprised at any op position being offered to it. When a man has given up his entire property, which is in course of realisation, he should not be subjected to incarceration or driven to the Insolvent Court for relief, at least until it was shown that what he had surrendered was inadequate to liquidate his debts. Any creditor who resorted to such vindictive pro ceedings should at least be deprived of any benefit under the sale ; he should not be allowed, at the same time, to resort to both the person and the property of his debtor. The beneficial provisions of the Act, how ever, shared the fate of the general enactments, and the entire Bill was rejected without a division. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Assembly is, prorogued until November, and the greater number of the members have left Paris. Tne Mountain, on the breaking up of the National Assembly, have published an address , under the head of " Compte-rendu par la Montange au Peuple." It is signed by 86 members of the party. The name of M. E. GIRARDIN does not appear among them. We subjoin a considerable portion of this address : " Citizeas,—EleetA by you representatives of the people to the National Assembly, we at present give you an account of the manner in which we have per formed our duty. That duty was perfectly clear, being defined iu these words—defence of the Republic, and constant elaboration of the social reforms which are so necessary, and so justly and impatiently expected. You are aware that the election of May 13, 1849, placed us in minority in the midst of sovereign power. We there found ourselves in face of adversaries not wishing to have and not comprehending any institutions but those of the past, systematically opposed to every reform, and bearing down every discussion, every reso lution, with the weight of their prejudices, their interest, and their number, kept out of the committees in which bills have been prepared and examined, where the re ceipts and expenses of the State are controlled, thwarted in the expressions of our opinions by the obstacles thrown in the way cf the liberty of the tribune ; we, however, struggled on with perseverance, sure of being heard and understood by the people. protesting by our words and votes against the attempt of monarchical and clerical reaction, and pointing out, in opposition to a policy of caste, egotism, and distrust, the be nefits of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Thus cooped up within the limits of an action altogether moral, we have never lost sight of the supreme ob ject of the Revolution, which has been agitating the world with various chances for so long a course of ages. After religious equality and liberty, France proclaimed political equality and liberty. For that great cause she effected the R , -volution of 1789 and that t,,f 1830. On the 24th of February, 1848, she wanted still more—she desired that to every member of the social corps should be ensured the advantages of conjoint responsibility, of independence in his profession, of existence by individual or collective labour. So set forth in its necessary con sequences, the Revolution of 1843 was accepted with enthusiasm by the people. On the vast field of social renovation, the Republican and Democratical Republic saw rallying around its flag all those bald thinkers who for so lung a time had been seeking, in the depths of politico-economical and moral sciences, the solution of the formidable problem of the extinction of misery and of the abolition of proletarianism. From that co-operation of force, from that fusion of Republican and Socialist ideas, there soon resulted a complete agreement as to the means to be employcd,in order to transform into fact the will of the . people, to lay the foundation of the new society. The chair of public instruction, raised to the dignity of the most honoured judicial position; education placed within the reach of all, made gratuitous at the entrance to all the careers which human activity embraces, and so pre paring the free development of the faculties of each: the taxes established on the absolute bases of eternal justice, simplified, rendered uniform, demanding much from him who possesses much, little from him having but little, and nothing from him who has nothing to give; the access to credit thrown open to all citizens, and by credit the right to labour; association, that supreme expression of the power of intellectual and physic al labour, excited, encouraged, and aided in its efforts; public assistance moralised, and ennobled, substituted for alms, whieh degrade the man and enslave the citizen; each people disposing freely of itself; each race mistress and sove reign in its own territory; such was in its ensemble, and indicated in its cardinal points the programme of the revolut i on of February.' The writers here pass in review the principal voles of the Assembly, declaring them to be violations of the Constitution ; and then go on : In the laws, in the official world, Socialist demo cracy has lost much ground, that is not doubtful. But in ideas, amongst the popular masse , , how great has been its progress within a short time! The day of jus tice has at length shone forth for that great cause! ca lumniated by the privileged classes, and misunderstood by ignorant ones, it triumphs over both ; and now it recruits its innumerable phalanxes even from amongst that very class which had been excited against it, by misrepresentations of its thoughts:, its object, and the means which it desires to employ for the constitution of a new society. The old world is at its last shifts. All fi w n h a o l days n b o y t r g:t e l o v g a o n i i e i n g t h i t S r o e t il t s e o l e f s this h i s d e n e s ci s e w r t o i u o hf from feel it, see it—ev e n they w h o en d eavour t o p ro l ong it s e the shocks which in every direction convulse the soil of Europe! For who could be strong enough, powerful enough, to prevent the destruction of th a t society which is falling to pieces, r to ret a rd an y l onger t h e ascension of socialism? United up to the present time for the pur pose of common resistance, the three parties who dis pose of all the forces of the Government against us have reached the highest point of their power. The divisions which are taking place amongst them prove this in the clearest manner —they can now only decline. Will they, however, submit to the law of justice and reason? or will they, by a viole nt and desperate effert, attempt an op en Republic, menace thrown sg into executi on carrying from the tribune— in theinterior ? In other terms, will tthh attack e wr incredible aogfainsotme acn the revolution of Febru ar y accomplish its work by con stitutional progress, by the regular And sincere working of universal suffrage, or will it be obliged to punish wild attempts, to break down criminal resistances? Such is the alternative in which Franco is plactd at present; and, unfortunately, the most probable eventuality is not that which we earnestly desire. Too many signs appear in the horiz in announcing stormy conflicts. But, what ever may be the future which God will dispose for the people between this time and May, 1852, the duty of the socialist democracy is clearly traced out, and it will not fail in it. By stidy, by the tribune, by the press, by propagandism at the private hearth, it will con tinue to prepare for the pacific struggle of the ballot, which will ensure to it the power of realising its ideas, which will abase its enemies, by raising up its principle ; and each man, in the calm of his strength, his eye fixed on the holy ark of the constitution, confirming his mind by the sentiment of right, and by the great reminiscences of our revolutionary history, will hold himself ready to be upstanding at the first movement of usurpation, from whatever quarter it may come. Citizens, the destinies of society are in advancing, cud not in looking behind; the republic will not recoil before miserable ambitions, before a wretched coalition of selfish interests. Union, perseverance, devotedness—such is the device of holy causes. It is inscrib,d on our flag. Let us remai❑ faithful to it, and victory—a prompt and speedy victory, will be the reward of our efforts" Notwithstanding the scandal occasioned by the conduct of the non-eurnesi.sioned officers of the Gendarmerie Mobile, who were feted by the PRESI DENT on Wednesday, he has determined to fete the non commissioned officers of all the regiments who would have made part of the camp of Versailles. The Legi timatist journals affect to apprehend serious conse quences from these fetes; the Presse takes, in our opinion, a much more sensible view of the affair, it says— Several journals yesterday gave details of what took place at the President's late banquet, and which have occupied the Bourse and the Assembly. We only produce them ourselves to efface the emotion they may have caused, by showing how puerile and how little dangerous such demonstrations are. It is not around a dallier-table that the Constitution can be revised. We do not fear that the Empire will ever issue from a dessert dish, like the Princess Colibri from a basket of flowers. Fortunately Frauce has not arrived at such a point of degradation and decadence as to make it possible to impose slavery on her on leaving the din ner-table, as did the drunken tyrents of the Roman de cadence, who marched to supreme power between cour tesans and slaves. France has allowed herself to be conquered sometimes—deceived often; but never de graded. We must only see, then, in this incident a table adventure—nothing else. It is precisely because the Empire is talked of after dinner that it is not talked of before dinner. It rises and passes like the fumes of champagne. When' the bottles are empty, and the lights put out, nothing remains. There is no morrow for such enthusiasms: they go as they came." On Saturday the first of these fetes took place at the Elysee, the guests behaved in au orderly manner, and all went off without scandal. There was a Cabinet Council held on Friday, in consequence of the reception of unpleasant news from some of the Prefects of the central and eastern departments; who find their efforts tc secure a good tecelptlat for the'President during his approaching tour by no means so successful as they could have: The Municipal Council of. La Guilotterie (the Southwarkof, -.Lyon s), have rejected, , by .1 majority, of 13 to 9, the proposition of the Mayor that they' should wait upon the President in their collective ca pacity immediately upon his arrival. Tne Lyons authorities, on the contrary, have determined to give him a splendid reception. This, however, can scarcely be considered an act of spontaneous homage ' seeing that Lyons is in a state of siege, and that all is done under the awe of the bayonets of General Castellane. The Journal des IM)ats states that there is every prospect of the formation of a Customs union between France and Belgium. M. GUIZOT has returned to Paris from Ems, Via Brussels. He dined with the KING of the BELGIANS on the 6th. The Committee of Prorogation met on Saturday for the first time. M. DITPIN, the President of the Assembly, who is ex officio president of the Com mittee, occupied the chair. Among the members present were M. Daru, one of the vice- presidents of the Assembly, MM. Berard, Peussin, Lacaze, and Arnaud (de l'Arriege), and one of the questore, M. Baze. General Chavgarnier and Count Mole were also present. On Saturday the Court of Assizes of the Seine went through the ceremony of degrading M. Lima, a member of the Legion of Honour. It will be re membered that M. LIBRI was recently found guilty, par contumace, of stealing books from the national libraries, and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. M. LIBRI was declared to be no longer a member of the Legion of Honour. The Funds are buoyant. Five per Cents. for the end of the month, 97f. 30c. ; Three per Cents., 58f. 55c.

There has been another rencontre between the Danes and the Holsteiners, and it would appear that the former have again gained an important advantage, as they have advanced nearer to the Eider. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Rendsburg, the Bth in t says—" which Willisen has m a d e a genera l reconnais sance, gave rise to som e ser i ous outpost skir mishing, but led to no important results." The same telegraphic dipatch then adds—" Frederickstadt and Husum are occupied by the Danes." This looks very like a second victory gained by the Danes. A telegraphic dispatch from llamburgh, dated the 9th, strengthens the supposition that a battle has been fought. It says—" This morning at 2 A.M., the whole of the Holstein army was on the move ; a great num ber of waggons were required." The damage d ,ne by the explosion at Rendsburgh has been very great. Almost all the Artillery cadets have been killed or wounded ; eighty bodies had been buried up to the Bth. It is said that Gnieral KLAPKA will supersede WILLISEN in the command of the Schleswig Holstein army. bELGI UM BRUSSELS, AUG 9.—Tne Moniker Beige contrarlicts the report that passports are to be suppressed in Bel gium, and that foreigners will in future be permitted to visit and travel about the country without being furnished with passports. As this report must give rise to serious inconveni ence, the Moniker states that the privilege granted merely extends to the abolitiOn of the special verifi cation of passports on the frontiers, immediately on the arrival of th e t ra i ns ; but that travellers must be furnished with r egu l ar p a pers, which will be called for by competent authorities. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, AUG. 10.—The Stoats Courant of this day publishes the royal mandate empowering the Minister for the Home Department to close the pre sent session of the States General, in the place of his Majesty, in a combined sitting of the two Chambers, on Tuesday, the 20th of this month. The First and Second Cnamber of the States Ge neral will accordingly be dissolved ; and the convo cation of the new provincial states being fixed for the 9th September, the election of the new Mem bers of the First Chamber of the States General will take place on the 11th of September, and the election of the Second Chamber of the States General on the 27th of August.

The Croce di Savoia asserts that the curate of his parish refused to administer either the viaticum or extreme u nction to the dying Mi nister, on accouw, of the , ra pport he bad given to the measure of hii colleague Count SICCARDI, concerning the abolition of ecclesiastical privileges. This Act of sacerdotal arrogance produced the most lively sensa tion in Turin. The people assetnbled in a state of great excitemenl - , and but for the interfvrence of the National Guard would havo executed summary jus tice on the clergy. The funeral cortege was most numerous on the next day. The National Guard, the troops, the Deputies now in Turin, the Corps Diplo matique, including the French Minister, M. FERDI NAND BARROT, attended. The Cure of San Carlos and a few of the clergy attended, but they were hissed by the crowd as they passed along. Letters from. Piacenza of the 3d, in the Risorgi mento of Turin, announce the dissolution of the mu nicipal council of Piacenza by a decree of the Duke, remarkable for its laconic style, being as follows : " The anzianato of Piacenza is dissolved.--CHARLES." Fourteen professors of secondary schools, and a police director, named FOGLIAGGI, have been dismissed by order of the Duke. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. _ _ The sales of Cc;tton at Liverpool on Saturday were e,timated at 8,000 bales, at previous rates.—Railway shares were steady. In Mark-lane, this morning, the Grain trade has been steady, and probsbly would have been higher but for the lare arrivals if foreign flour. The extranrOivary increase in the amount of metallic currency in France, is placing the National Bank there in a position which it scarcely ever occupied before, and brings its specie assets within a very limited distance of the paper liabilities. In the last week there was a further addition of 7,500,1100 francs to the specie. The discounts fell off 4,250,000 ferules in the provinces, but incr. aced 1,750,000 francs in Paris; the circulation was smaller by 10,250,000 francs, and the Treasury account larger by 4,000,000 franca. Everything is in the direc tion of accumulation, and the trading community, having ample funds, do not require much accommodation, though an extension of business would cause some extra demaud. The steamer with the American mail has not yet been announced as having arrived off Liverpool. Accounts from Belgium state that there had been most serious inundations there. The rain came like a deluge at Routers, Titielt, and other places where the harvest was far from being concluded. The got and grain had suffored greatly, and the farmers were heavy sufferers. A large quantity of the new flax which was in the fields was carried away, and at Bruges the hospital for aged persons was almost beaten down. At the latest dates the water, which had risen in certain districts, at Ardoye, for instance, to the height of the ears of rye, was fast subsiding, and a strong wind blowing served to dry the ground. The grand works of art in course of execution at Lye had suffered a good deal. Several of the dikes were broken. In the Amsterdam Bourse on the 10th inst. there was no business of importance doing, and prices were not so firm for Dutch Stock, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 57/. Spanish and Portuguese Bonds were at about previous rates. Frankfort advices of the 9th inst. quota Austrian Me:allies and Spanish Three per Cents. 32 3.16 to 15-16.. A very important statement appears in . a • Germaii paper received this morning, viz., that the King of Den mark has requestel Austria tb join the other POWers in bringing about an arrangement of the Holstein ques tion, Denmark engaging in such case to abstain from crossing the Eider, pending the negotiations. The official balance-sheet of the United Kingdorn gives the income and expenditure for the year ending the sth July last, and is most encouraging in all its fea tures. The surplus of income for the year is 3,438,358/ 175., and this will allow the Commissioners for the Re duction of the National Debt to invest next quarter 859 589/ 14s. 3'l- in the redemption of stcck. The English Funds have been depressed again, and the arrangements making for the settlement of the Ac count have shown that it is Bullish. 'rue heavy showers, the uncertainty attaching to the Danish question, and 'the diz.appoiutment felt at the constant supply of stock throw', upon the market whenever Consols reach to about 961, have all had their effect in turning the scale in favour of the Bears, and as such a large number of the jobbers and speculators will be leaving town, there needs an extra impulse at the moment to bring about a rise.

MELANCLIOLY EVENT.—FIVE LIVES LOST.—MIL FORD, FRIDAY.—A shocking disaster occurred at Blackpool, on Wednesday, which resulted in the loss of five lives, under very distressing circumstances. Sonic collier s emp l oyed at the Hook Colliery were engaged in 10,-.(ling two lighters with timber for the use of the pit, and on the completion of the work five of the men proposed to return home by water. Having embarked in a small boat they made their way down the channel against a strong head wind. On nearing Picton's Point the boat ship pe d several seas, which so terrified the misguided fellows as to induce them to leap overboard, and the current swept them away and they perished.

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. In some of the country ma'kets, held on Saturday, new Wheat was brought forward, in but moderate con dition. In old qualities of both English and Foreign only a limited business was transacted, at about stationary prices. All Spring Corn, as well as Flour, supported previous rates. Letters from the Baltic and Black Sea ports state that the purchases of Wheat on English account have been but moderate; neverthel e s s , th e quotations have ruled steady. In France, Holland, and Belgium, the corn trade has been far from active, yet shipments of Flour to some extent continue to be made to the United Kingdom. The arrivals of English Grain up to our market, last week, were small. From abroad we received 23,525 quarters of Wheat, 7,673 ditto of Barley, 25,021 ditto of flats, 227 ditto of B-ani, 65 ditto of Peas, 12 ditto of Tarrs, 1.112 ditto of Rapeseed, 11 ditto of Mustard Seed, 32 ditto of Sundry Seeds, 6,920 sacks and 30 bar rels of Flour. The quantity of Wheat of home produce received fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample, was comparatively small, aad of but middling quality. The supply left over from last week being trifling, the accounts respecting the intato disease unfavourable, and the weather by no means fine for harvest work, holders of all kinds of English Wheat were very firm at the commencement of business, and most of them refused to sell except at higher rates. However, as the attendance of buyers, both town and country, was not large, and as we were heavily supplied with French Flour—the quantity ex ceeding 8,000 sacks—no progress could be made in sales, except at last week's prices, at which the trade may be considered steady. It will be perceived, therefore, that we have not the slightest change to notice in value. eliAbout;so quarters of new Wheat from Essex and Kent were offering in very tender condition, at from 47s to 48s per quarter. The weight was about 581 to 601bs per bushel. New Wheat ,geared here for the first time List season on, the 13th August. The prices obtained were 503 to 52s per quarter, the weight being 611bs. per bushel. Very few offers reached us from the east coast to ship Wheats at present currencies. Millers generally ex hibited no inclination to purchase for forward delivery. The supply of Foreign Wheat was larger than for some time past. Fine qualities of both red and white moved off steadily, at fully last week's quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds only a moderate business ' was transacted, but no decline was submitted to in the rates current on this day sennight. Scare Fly a sample of English Barley was brought for ward, but the supply of Foreign was good. All kinds ruled firm, and prices were well supported in every instance. Muir, though in short supply, moved off slowly, at late rates. The aggregate supply of Oats was not large. A steady business was transacted in that description of grain, and prices were well supported. Beans sold steadily, but we have no improvement to notice in their value. A few parcels of new Peas changed hands, at 27s per quarter. Old quanlities we re quite as dear. In Indian Corn scarcely any sales took place; but rather large parcels of Flour were disposed of at lull prices. The top nominal price of town-made was 40s per 2801bc. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.
