active detective officer, assisted by Police-constable Blackburn, 257 V, were on duty in South Lambeth, and saw the prisoner go to several houses and come out empty-handed. They at last watched him to Devonshire House, and there left him, one constable taking to the Wandsworth-road, and the other the back way leading from Larkhall-lane to South Lam beth. It appeared that th e p r i son er bad succeeded in " bagging" two overc oa t s , w h en the cook saw him leaving the grounds in front of the house, and raised an alarm, which brought Milburn the gardener, to her assistanc e , an d b e pursued the prisoner about 150 yards, when he threw the coats out of the bag. Another man, named Whitbury, continued the pur suit, the thief having " doubled" the officers for a time, but coming up at a juncture when the prisoner was making a most desperate resistance. The coats were valued at seven guineas as the lowest sum. The prisoner made no defence, but said he lived in queen -street, Billingsgate. He was remanded for a week. LONDON LABOUR AND THE mA yuENy Is happy to announce that his preliminary ar rangements concerning the inquiry into the extent, causes, and con sequences of Prostitution in London are so far completed that the First Number of that part of the present periodical which treats of THOSE THAT WILL NOT WORK In general, and of THE LONDON PROSTITUTES In particular, Will be ready for Publication On SATUBDAT, August 16, 1851, And continued every alternate week. The subject will be arranged and appear in the following order:— First, there will be an Introduction, touching on the habits and characteristics which distinguish the non-working class generally from the hard-workins7; portion of the population. Secondly, a compiThensive view will be taken of Prostitution, past and present. beginning with THE PROSTITUTION of ANCIENT STATES, and then passing to that of MODERN NATIONS, the latter part of which will be subdivided Into the PROiTITUTION of BARBAROUS TRIBES, and the PROSTITU TION of CIVILIZED COUNTRIES. Thirdly, THE PROSTITUTION of ENGLAND will be dealt with specially and in comparison with that of other countries ; while in connexion with this (or more particularly the metropo litan) next of the subject, the following will tie the mode of pro cedure The LONDON PROSTITUTES will be arranged into three distilYet classes: viz.— I. THE PROFESSIONAL ; 11. THE CLANDESTINE ; an d 111. THE COHABITANT. Ersch of which will be treated of separately and distinctly. In connexion with Class No. I. the first step will be to show their number and distribution throughout the Metropolis. After which the Profe-sional Prostitutes will be subdivided into their several grades and varieties, and treated of seriatim. This done, the next point will be to deal with their habits and manners, their parentage, age, previous occupations, physical, mental and moral characteristics, their gains, expenditure, Icc. Then will follow an inquiry into the CAUSES of PR OSTITU TION, arranging the subject into-1. Those who take to it; 2. Those who are driven to it; and 3. Those who are bred to It—ex amples and statistics as to each being given. This will be succeeded by an exposition of the MEANS by which the PROSTITUTION of LONDON is carried en, embracing accounts and descriptions of the various Brothels and Houses of Assignation throughout the Metropolis. To this will be appended a statement of the EFFECTS of PROS TITUTION, both physical and moral. And, lastly, an exposition of the PLANS, INSTITUTIONS, and ASYLUM at present in operation with the view of mitigating or preventing th , evil will be set forth. The CLANDESTINE and COHABITANT CLASSES will be treated in the same Comprehensive manner. N.B. Nos. 1 , 1 8 , and 22 ar e a g ain reprinted.

They certainly were not in advance of public opinion, but had perceptibly lagged in the rear. Lord DUNCAN had carried consternation into the camp on more occasions than one, and convic tion was forced on even the obtuse intellect of Sir CHARLES WOOD. That unfortunate financier, how ever, although compelled by his associates to pay at tention to the subject, could do nothing in a bona fide or straightforward manner— " Nil tetigit, quod non fcedavit." He should spoil everything with which he had any connexion. Accordingly he endeavoured to retain the obnoxious principle, to remit only one third of the impost, while bringing a new class of sufferers within the operation of the infamous tax. This was, of course, unanimously objected to, and there is but little doubt that the " Precious Budget" was the cause of the Ministerial crisis that took place in the latter end of February and beginning of March. At all events, the principle of the measure was completely altered, and rendered more in accordance with the justice of the case and the state of public opinion. Ministers could scarcely assume any laurels for their conduct in reference thereto, and yet it is another point prominently re ferred to in the valedictory speech of her MAJESTY. The next point alluded to is " the administration of justice in the courts of law and equity." Here again Ministers are placed in an equally unfortunate position, being compelled to agree to the truth of the adage that " second thoughts are best," the enact ments actually carried being totally different from those orginally brought forward. We are bound to confess that the later edition was a very great im provement on the former, but for that Ministers may thank " the pressure from without," and not the excellence of their own conceptions. The last matter glanced at, " the administration of the land revenues of the Crown," is one fcr which Lord DUNCAN has long since borne away the laurels, Ministers having fillowed, longo intervallo, in the wake of the Noble Member for Bath. In all points, therefore, that have been brought under public notice, the Cabinet have been in the position of the jay attiring itself in peacock's feathers. Let those who have some confidence in themselves, who believe that they can retrieve their ancient reputation, labour strenuously and indefatigably during the vacation to mature good measures, and to emancipate themselves from the evil influences which have during the past year pro duced such untoward results. fa 4 4 T z t l - 1 5 .t. 21...• 1-1-47. ti ^ itt 4640.*V),1- ; v t . 14, 1 - .1+,0 D On \-41 tot' DIE D After which an entirely new Farce, entitled GRIMSHA.WI BA G SHAW ! and BRADSHAW With MY FRIEND IN THE STRAPS.

In the House of Lords yesterday, Her MAJESTY, having delivered the Speech from the Throne, prorogued Parliament to the 4th of September. In the Commons, A motion by Mr. WAYLEIr for printing the evidence taken before the Income-tax Committee waa opposed by Lord Joux RUSSELL, and on a division rejected by 62 to 52. The House then proceeded to ballot for a deputation of Members to accompany the SrEaaza to the House of Lords; and shortly afterwards, at the summons of the Black Rod, the Right Honourable Gentleman, at tended by the Members on whom the lot had fallen, quitted the House and repaired to the House of Peers, where the ceremonial of the prorogation took place. The Session has terminated—the Speech has been delivered—the pageantry has passed away. The Palace at Westminster will remain closed for some six months, and the representatives of the people, having devoted a certain portion of their time to the onerous duties imposed on them, may now enjoy the vacation in the manner most suitable to their re spective tastes—in yachting, fishing, shooting, hunt ing, or any other of the almost endless varieties of sports and pastimes by which pleasure invites and rewards her votaries. But if the general body of Members feel unusual exhiliaration on their anxiously-desired release—if those who have no sins of omission, or commission, for which they may be called to account, who are not bound to maintain their position, and who have no Ministerial pledges to redeem, involving the credit of the entire Cabinet, are carried away by the enthusiasm of the mo ment—what must be the sensations of the PREMIER and his colleagues at their eman cipation ? Six months of peace and tranquillity are before them, during which KEOGEI will be in Ireland, REYNOLDS forgotten, and " the brigade" transformed into a respectable body of country gentle men, during which the chief occupation of DISRAELI will be the pouring forth the praises of fat cattle to the delighted ears of still more pinguose agriculturists ; JOSEPH HUME will be quiescent, COBDEN and BRIGHT superintend ing the manufacture of cotton yarn, and CHISHOLM ANSTEY degenerated into a mere lawyer! Blessed period ! when the golden age will be once more restored ; when the lion may lay down with the lamb, and even Sir CHARLES WOOD may retire to rest without any fear of the incubi that had previously disturbed his slumbers, when HENRIES, Hula, BARING, GROSVENOR, NAAS, and a host of others will no longer haunt the imagination of the con science-stricken Minister, and he will have no " PRECIOUS BUDGET" to explain or atone for, before he can again seek repose. It will not, however, be a period of " all play and no work" to the PREMIER and some of his more effi cient coadjutors. The financial Minister may rely on the apophthegm, " Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." He may exult in his success in pre venting the publication of the report of the Committee on the Property and Income-tax ; he may rejoice in the prolonged respite he has obtained ; but Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and those who have still some shreds of repuratioa remaining, must look anxiously forward to the future, and endeavour to redeem the errors of the past by performances more wore worthy of their ancient fame. The speech which they were compelled to put into the mouth of their Royal Mistress must have excited the most painful sensations. They were only enabled to refer to four measures therein, and for none of these could they claim credit from the nation. The first to which they could direct the public attention was the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, the joint production of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Sir FREDERICK TRESIQE R , and of Messrs. WALPOLE and KEOGH. On it they sustained some of th e most decisive and ignominious defeats of the session. They were not even consistent with themselves. The measure when first introduced to the legislative notice was very different indeed from what it became when the second reading Wil moved for, after it was discovered that the fusion with the Peelite section, and the acquisition of " new blood," was prevented by its stringency. But little re mained of the original Bill when brought forward after the recess occasioned by the Ministerial crisis, and that little was reduced to homoeopathic dimen sions when the Protectionist and Brigade amendments were adopted. No less than four unequivocal defeats were sustained in the contests against the ex-kr pRNE/-GENERAL, i n wh i ch t h e ma j or iti es varied were made 35 to 79 , avera g i ng 56 ; an d man y concessions ma dtehetno, ptrheevervitrinsteiilplalmtoorpeicu, referred d d t o results; On this, Royal Speech, it will not appear that Ministers have had much cause for self-congratulation. As to the Abolition of the to on light and air, -4 LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1851. In the month of July, 1849, a debate took place in the House of Peers on the subject of the affairs of Italy, and in the course of the debate the Earl of ABERDEEN took occasion to insinuate (his Lordship would not have been cet excellent ABERDEEN of Louis PHILIPPE, had he ever ventured beyond insinuations), that,it was unjustifiable on the part of Lord PALMERS TON to state in a dispatch to her MAJESTY'S Ambas sador at Vienna, that the system of government in the kingdom of Naples " was teeming with abuses of all kinds," and he made it a subject of reproach to the English Government in general, and to Lord PAL MERSTON in particular, " that we had made ourselves an,object of aversion to the Bourbon King of NAPLES. We will not go at length into the subject-matter of the debate; the double-dealing of Lord HEYTESBURY, with regard to the Sicilians and their constitution, has already been sufficiently exposed; but we must be permitted to observe, en passant, that whilst my Lord STANLEY states that he has no doubt but that the King of NAPLES will exercise the rights of a conqueror with generosity, my Lord BROUGHAM designates as " foul slander" any attempt to bring any thing like a charge of cruelty against the King of NAPLES or his satraps, and all the partisans of reaction in the House of Peers unite ink lauding the Government of the King of NAPLES as one of the most enlightened and merciful in Christendom, and in stigmatising those who ventured to maintain the con trary as foul slanderers. Now, it was perfectly evi dent, that of the supporters of the King of NAPLES none, with the exception of Lord HEYTESBURY, who first studied the principles of humanity and civil liberty in the congenial atmosphere of Tunis, and the Earl of ABERDEEN, l'excellent ABERDEEN, of the foreign absolutists, had any personal knowledge on the subject. But it so happens, that we are now in a position to prove the truth of all that my Lord BuouGuam then designated as " foul slanders," and the absolute falsehood of the assertion of the Neapo litan Minister, FORTUNATO (in bis reply to the note of Mr. TEMPLE, of the 16th September, 1849), "that the Government of his Sicilian MAJESTY it actuated by no desire of vengeance." The testimony which we have to offer is that of a witness who is no unknown or obscure individual—of one who has ever been an upholder of the " right divine of Kings"— of one who is not unacquainted with affairs—of one in whom the Earl of ABERDEEN and my Lord STAN LEY each reposed such confidence that during the late Ministerial crisis they would neither of them give their final answer to her MAJESTY until they should have consulted him. Our witness is Mr. GLADSTONE, who was Colonial Secretary during the time that, under the Premiership of Sir ROBERT PEEL, the Earl of ABERDEEN was dozing in the Fo reign Office, and who was sought for by Lord STANLEY SS a colleague no longer ago than the month of Fe bruary last. Mr. GLADSTONE returned to this country at the latter end of February, after a resi dence of between three and four months at Naples, and as he informs us in his first letter to the Earl of ABERDEEN,* " he came home with a deep sense of the duty incumbent upon him to make some attempts towards mitigating the horrors (' I can use no weaker word,' says Mr. GLADSTONE) . amidst which the govern ment of that country is now carried on." Mr. GLAD STONE then enters into details regarding the atrocities committed by the " generous Monarch" of Lord STANLEY, the " victim of foul slanders," according to Lord BROUGHAM, the " faithful Sovereign" of the Earl of ABERDEEN, which more than prove the truth of every word of accusation that has ever bee❑ uttered against the King of NAPLES and his Govern ment. In proof of this assertion we will give an ex tract or two from his pamphlet. First, as to the number of the prisoners of this " generous" blonarch— " The general belief is, that the prisoners for political offences in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, are between fifteen or twenty and thirty thousand. The Government withholds all means of accurate information, and accord ingly there can be no certainty on the point. I have however, found that this belie( is shared by persons the most intelligent, considerate, and well-informed. It is also supported by what is known of the astonishing crowds confined in particular prisons; and especially by what is accurately known in particular provincial local' ties, as to the numbers of individuals missing from among the community. I have hoard these numbers for example at Reggio , and at Salerno; tied from an effort to estimate them in reference to population, I du believe that twenty thousand is no unreasonable estimate. In Naples alone ; some hundreds are at this moment under indictment capitally; and when I quitted it, a trial was expected to come on immediately (called that of the. 15th of May), in which the number charged was between tour and five hundred; including (though this is a di gression) at least one or more persons of high station, whose opinions would in this country be considered more Conservative than your own. The Neapolitan Government, indeed, appears to have something of th e art, which Mr. Burke declared to be beyond him; he ' did not know how to frame an indictment against a people.' " The manner of proceeding is thus described :—' " Men are arrested, not because they have committed, or are believed to have committed, any offence; but be cause they are persons whom it is thought convenient to confine and to get rid of, and against whom therefore some charge must be found or fabricated. " The first process, therefore, commonly is to seize them and imprison them; and to seize and carry oil books, papers, or whatever else these degraded hirelings may choose. The correspondence of the prisoner is then examined, as soon as may be found convenient, and he is himself examined upon it: in secret, without any inti mation of the charges, which as yet in fact do nut exist; or of the witnesses, who do not exist either. In this examination he is allowed no assistance whatever, nor has he at this stage any power of communication with a legal adviser! He is not examined only, but, as I know, insulted at will and in the grossest manner, under pre tence of examination, by the officers of the police. And do not suppose this is the fault of individuals. It is essential to the system, of which the essential aim is, t o create a charge. What more likely than that, smart- ZA under insult, and knowing with what encouragement and for whose benefit it is offered, the prisoner should for a mom en t l ose hi s temper, and utter some expres sion disparaging to the sacred majesty of the Govern ment? If he do es , i t goes down in the minutes against him: if he does not, but keeps hie self-command, no harm is done to the great end in view. " His correspondence is examined as well as himself. Suppose him a man of cultivated intelligence: he has •« A Letter to Lnu Earl ut Abut:well on I State I'm secutions of the Neapolitan Government." By the Right li on . W g, Gisdstone, hLL probably watched public affairs and followed their vicis situdes. His copies of letters, or the letters to him which he may have kept, will contain allusions to them. The value of this evidence as evidence would of course depend upon giving full effect to all these allusions taken in connexion one with the other. But not so: any expression which implies disapproval (since nothing is easier than to construe disapproval into disaffection, disaffection into an intention of revolution or of regicide) is entered on the minutes. Suppose there happens to be some other, which entirely destroys the force of the former, and demonstrates the loyalty of the victim : it is pat by as of no consequence, and if he remonstrate, it is in vain. In countries where justice is regarded acts are punished, and it is deemed unjust to punish thoughts; but in this case thoughts are forged in order that they may be punished. I here speak of what I know to have happened, and have imagined or heightened nothing. "For months, or for a year, or for two years, or three, as the case may be, these prisoners are detained before their trials; but very generally for the longer terms. Ido not happen to have heard of any one tried at Naples on a political charge, in these last times, with less than sixteen or eighteen months of previous impri sonment. I have seen men still waiting, who had been confined for six and twenty months; and this confine ment, as I have said, began by an act not of law but of force in defiance of law." Mr. GLADSTONE then proceeds to illustrate the treatment of prisoners, as yet uncondemned, by the case of PIRONTE : "From the 7th of December last to the 3d of Fe bruary, Pironte, who was formerly a judge, and is still a gentleman, and who was found guilty on or about the last named day, spent his whole days and nights, ex cept when on his trial, with two other men, in a cell at he Vicaria, about eight feet square, below the level of he ground, with no light except a grating at the top of the wall, out of which they could not see. Within the space of th.se eight feet, with the single exception I have named, Pironte and his companions were confined during these two months; neither for mass were they allowed to quit it, nor for any other purpose whatsoever I This was in Naples, where by universal consent matters are far better than in the provinces." In order to secure condemnations, perjury is openly suborned, and the judges are openly coerced. In proof of this latter assertion Mr. GLADSTONE cites two cases : " In Naples itself, I understand that a gentleman of eighty years of age, who had exercised the office of judge for half century, was turned out upon the world a short time ego, for having acquitted the parties charged with having composed or published an ob noxious article in a newspaper. A more notorious case bits recently happened at Reggio. A batch of prisoners vero tnere brought to trial for some matter connected with he period of the ill-fated Constitution. They were ac quitted; and the arm of vengeance descended upon the judges. After such an outrage on their part, the entire Court, as if an Augean - stable, was swept clear. Two, [ believe—probably the docile minority—had only a nominal deprivation, being classed as disponibili, and held qualified for new appointments, which, for all I know, they may now have received. But six judges, cite offending majority, were mercilessly and absolutely dismissed." The attention of Mr. GLADSTONE has been confined to the atrocities committed in the kingdom of Naples. Although he communicated with Reggio, withi❑ half-an-hour's sail of Sicily, he did not think it worth his while to visit that island, and to ascertain by his own observations the truth of the accusations brought against FILANGIERI, who, as the inventor of those cruelties to which he subjects the inhabitants of the unfortunate island, might give a hint even to the King of NAPLES himself. This is the more to be regretted, as Mr. GLADSTONE states that he feels he is precluded from calling the attention of the British Parliament to the atrocities of which Naples is the theatre, be cause, according to the law of nations, we cannot interfere in the case of Naples. Such, however, is not the case with regard to the affairs of Sicily ; we have solemnly guaranteed to Sicily her con stitution ; we have most solemnly guaranteed to every Sicilian that he shall not be mo lested on account of his attachment to that constitution, and it is not in the power of Lord HEYTESBURY and the Earl of ABERDEEN to absolve us by any conceivable amount of equivocation, of pal tering with the truth, from the obligations entered into in the name of England with the Sicilian nation, as contradistinguished from the Sicilian SOVEREIGN, in 1812 by Lord W. BENTINCK, and ratified by the Marquis of 'WELLESLEY, as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. By that treaty we are bound to in terfere for the protection of the Sicilians, and if Mr. GLADSTONE knows, or has reason to believe, that there are at this moment any Sicilians who, on account of rheir attachment to the constitution, are suffering im prisonment, or exile, or confiscation, or any other sort of duresse, it is his duty as a British senator at once to draw the attention of Parliament to the subject. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paid journals of yesterday, The LORD MAYOR and other members of the Cor poration of London went at one o'clock to the Elysee, .o take leave of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, and to renew to him their expression of thanks for the cordial welcome with which they had been received at Paris. They afterwards proceeded to the Hippodrome, *here their arrival was announced by the firing of cannon, and on their entrance the orchestra played God save the Queen:' Notwithstanding the heavy rain, the performances continued, and the LORD MAYOR and his friends remained to the end, and wit neesed the ascent of the balloon. In the Assembly the proposal of a vote of credit for defraying the expenses of the army of occupation in Rome gave rise to a discu..sion, in the course of which MM. ASAGO and JULES FAVRE warmly re newed their protests against the invasion and occu pation of the Roman territories. M. BAROCHB in reply stated that France continued to occupy Rome in order to keep out . the Austrians. I n comment ing in this debate the Stick says— "At Rome. under the authority of the Pope, and in presence of a French army, sent there, according to the declaration of M. Odilon Barret, to protect the rights of justice and humanity; at Rome women are stripped naked and flogged—wives, sisters, and daughters of men who have committed political crimes—and God only knows what highly generous sentiments, what honour able actions may be enveloped in so elastic a designa tion—yes, in the Holy City they flog women, the cowards! At Naples. Oh! at Naples it is different; we who write these lines have met here in Paris an nonourable family whom we could name, only we should fear to point them out to the police of the embassy, and who have been obliged to fly their country after the con fiscation of their property, because the head of the fa mily, a distinguished advocate, had dared to defend a person accused of a political offence; and yet to see M. Baroche and General Oudinot coming to the tribune, the one with flue phrases and the other with his military diplomacy, in the face of such horrors as these! Why your policy and your diplomacy in presence of such acts, when liberty is oppressed and justice outrageously vio lated, when all the laws of humanity are trodden under toot, your temporising diplomacy and your miserable policy which dares not raise its voice, is something shameful! In the name of Heaven do not, at all events, make it a matter of glorification!" The Orleanists are exceedingly sore at the conduct of the recalcitrant Legitimatists. The Ordre gives vent to its rage in the following terms.— " What! you have resolved on a meeting of eighty Legitimatists to spend the three months' parliamentary vacation in agitating the revision! Are you then re solved upon sacrificing to the Montagnards the electoral law of the 31st May, the law regarding the sale of jour nals and pamphlets in the streets, and the law regard ing the clubs, of which they demand the complete aboli tion? No, far from it, say you, you have no such in tention. Then you must know that it is impossible. Nevertheless, you agitate the question. You are driv ing to revision along with those who demand the proro gation of the powers of the President of the Republic— with those who openly call for his re election in an un constitutional manner, although you stand pledged to resist such taking place, as calculated, according to the avowal of one of your leading orators, to lead to the ruin of France. Allow us to tell you that you are involving yourselves in a tortuous underground way, which is full of snares, and that your boasted chivalry runs great risk of going astray." The trials at Lyons still continue, the city is full of troops, and every opportunity is taken of endeavouring to provoke the people to an outbreak ; the people, however, have been hitherto too wise to furnish the authorities with a pretext for letting loose the troops. Their conduct has been admirable. The Moniteur publishes a decree by the PAESI. DINT of the Republic, ordering that, in consideration of the eminent services rendered by Marshal SaDAS TIANI during his long and glorious career, his re mains shall be interred at the Hotel des Invalides. The Moniteur states that the Commission nomi nated in March last, under the Presidency of General OODINOT DE REGGIO, to examine and set forth the services which railways may render to the country in the event of a war, offensive or defensive, has re ported that it is important in a military and economic point of view that corps and detachments shall con tinue as before to go on foot, but that railway ma teriel, after certain modifications not of an expensive nature, may be immediately employed in the convey ance of troops ; that to convey troops by railway is an easy operation ; and that such conveyance may have great strategic importance, and add considerably to the force of the State. The Committee has submitted a series of regulations on the subject to the Minister of War. It also dwells on the military im portance of a railway round Paris. The following are the chief items of the Bank ac count for the week ..____. Francs.

The portfolio is miserably low, having declined 11 millions in the city, and nearly 4 millions in the country. The cir culation of notes has been contracted by upwards of 13f millions in the city, remaining stationary as re gards the country accounts. The credit to the Treasury is more by 24 millions. The Bourse was heavy with little business doing. The Five per Cents. opened at 96f. 5c., and closed at 95f. 90c for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 57f. 35c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 870 r. ; Rouen, 617 f. 50c. ; Havre, 245 f. ; Great Northern, 470 f.; Avignon, 210 f.; Vierzun, 440 f.; Bade. 153 f. 75c.; lior deaux, 397 f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 363 f. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 273 f. 75c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 8. Boulogne and Amiens, 10 3 / Dutch Rhenish, 3 1 ,E ex in. GERMANY. The Prussian Gazelle of the 6th gives an account of the reception of the King of Prtussil at Koenigs berg, on the 2d, and the public manifestation on the following day. Several hundreds of the inhabitants went out on horseback to some distance from the town, and acted as a guard of honour on his MAJESTY'S entry. The streets were lined with people, who cheered him enthusiastically, and on his appearance in the balcony of the palace there were loud cries of " Long live the KING." On the following day all the authorities waited upon the KING to thank him for the honour he had done them by visiting the town, and received from his MAJESTY an assurance that the kind reception they had given to him would remain for ever impressed on his mind. The Germanic Diet has decided in respect to the late disturbance in Hamburgh, that the Austrian Government had a right to act as it did, in occupying the suburb of St. Pauli, on military grounds, seeing that it was a proper judge of the case, particularly as the measure was only temporary. The expenses are to be defrayed by the Confederation. Latterly the plenipotentiaries of Holstein and Luxembourg have received repeated invitations to sign and approve of the reply given to the Anglo- French protest; but they have steadily refused—a refusal indicative of the feeling of Denmark and Holland upon the subject. In its last sitting the Restricted Council was occupied solely with this affair. ITALY. The new Minister of Grace and Justice at Turin, Signor DE PORESTA, has been re-elected a Deputy at Nice. The fortifications of Casale, commenced in 1849 by the Piedmontese Government, are pushed on with activity. On the 28th ult. some dispute about wages having arisen between the contractor and a part of the workmen, the latter attempted to induce their comrades to strike. Not finding them willing to comply, they at last proceeded to violence, over turned the wheelbarrows, broke the tools, &c. At last a battalion of sappers was called out, and order restored after some difficulty. A letter of the Ist instant from the Romagna, in the Risorgimento of Turin, states that robbers are as numerous as ever throughout that part of the coun try. The Austrians, according to the same letter, are fortifying the whole line between Foligno and Ancona. LEVANT MAIL. By the Levant Mail we have received Athens journals to the 28th ult„ and Constantinople journals to the 24th ult., both inclusively. The Athens jour. nals are without political news of importance, but they contain further and sad accounts of the brigan dage in different parts of the territory. It appears by the Courrier Athenes that near Marathon a band of twelve brigands had pillaged two houses, and hor ribly tortured two females by pouring boiling oil into their bosoms. After this act the brigands approached nearer to the capital, and on their way had a conflict with some gendarmes, five of whom they wounded seriously. Near the forest of Achaia a party of tra vellers, twenty in number, were attacked by another band, and robbed of their money and effects, and three valuable horses—one of the travellers was wounded by a pistol ball. Near Lamie a band of brigands, under the order of a notorious chief named CHIMACON, were attacked by a party of mounted gendarmes. Two of the brigands were killed, the rest made their escape. The gendarmes had two horses killed. The Constantinople journals are destitute of news of interest. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince-s Helena, and attended by the Countess of Desart. Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. C. Phipps, the Hon. Lieut.-Colonel A. G,rdon, the Hon. Caroline Cavendish, and Major Biddulph, left Buckingham Palace this morning, at half-past ten, in three of the royal carriages, for the Nine-elms Station, escorted by a party of e Bth Hussars. The royal party proceeded by special traia to Gosport. in charge of Mr. Stovin, and were received at the Clarence-yard with the usual honours, and embarked under salutes, in the Fairy royal steam-yacht, a. tended by the Elfin, for East Cowes, en route to Osborne. Her Majesty is expected to remain at Obsorne until the end of the m on th, and then depart to Scotland. Her Majesty and the Prince, attended by Colonel Buckley and the Hon. Colonel A. Gor don (1 quarries in Waiting), left the Palace at the early hour of half-past eight this morning, to visit, it is understood, the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations , and returned about halt an hour before leaving for Osborne. Tris MALVERN HILLS.—At a late meeting of the Geological Society, Mr. Strickland, in speaking of the great line of dislocation that runs 120 miles from Flintshire to Somersetshire, and separates the ancient rocks of Wales and Hereford from those of the midland counties, observed that the Malvern hills marked a point where a great displacement had taken place—at least 13,000 or 14,000 feet being the amount of dislocation between the two sides of the great "fault." The western side of the fault being uprais d, a large area, including Wales, and extending across the south of Ireland, had been raised above the sea, whilst the district east of the fault remained under water. At the foot of the lofty cliffs thus raised the sea had subsequently formed great accumulations of pebble beds, sandstones, &c., the greater part of which, together with the beds of rocks, a least 13,000 feet thick, once overlapping the present Malvern hills, have been swept away by the hand of time, and the land reduced to the present level. --- APOTHECARIES' HALL —The following gentlemen passed their examination in the science and practice of me dicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thursday, August 7 :—Alonzo Henry Stocker, Sloane-street, Chelsea; Charles Henry Tovey ; William Henry Pearse, Launceston, Cornwall; William 134131410 am; Sydney Haynes, SUClTficlai Xeat, Leasing Busin Railways.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. . The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti . mated at 10,000 bales, including 2,000 for export and on speculation.—The Share Market was inactive, at rather lower prices. The dividend payments being pretty nearly over, we have the Bank of England accounts for the week, to the 2d inst', reverting to their usual course. Tne active circulation gets smaller, and the bullion increases. The public deposits are no longer largely drawn upon, and will increase up to the end of the quarter. The do' counts were augmented, so far bearing out the statement generally made, within the last fortnight or three weeks , that money is more in demand. Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Notes Issued ... 27,268,180 Increase 42 695 ... 3,229 281 ••• 5,683 4,758 458 ••• 462,963 9,002.461 ••• 95,101 ••• 1,270.14 8 74,481 ••• No alteration. ••• 11,800,14 3 ••• 199 538 Notes "' 6,922,48 5 Increase ... 213,04 0 Bullion ... 13,894,87 9 Increase ... 78,143 Active Circulation... ... ••• 20,345,69 5 Decrease 170,345 The rates at which 90 days' paper was yesterday afte.. n" 1- noon negotiated on the principal continental cities I not quite so good.

According to advices from Holland it would aPPeI that the sale of 111,181 slabs Bence tin by the Dutch gi ll India Company did not go quite so high as was pretty generally expected, the whole quantity having folio, buyers at the following prices, viz :-29 lets of abed 4 1,000 slabs each, at 4741; 13 ditto, at 47014 • ditto, at 474 fl ; 24 ditto. at 481; the average price betsg47fl. 65c., equal to 81s. 6d., free on board in Holland; here about 2,000 slabs of the sale were placed at the average price; au transactions have yet occurred on spot, our quotations are therefore almost nominal.
