Richard Bentley, Publisher in Ordinary to leer Majesty. .Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post Bvo., A NOVEL. 0 0 D. " The author, we are convinced. 5s young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. lie is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has market per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man nerses, and Smythes."--Observer. • Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and Is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has pro.luced. Ot the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladles who play conspicuons parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all." —.Morning Post.

The visit of inspection paid within these few days to the French fleet at Cherbourg, by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, is suggestive of consideration on our own side of the British Channel as well as on the shores of our opposite neighbours. However grati fying may be the manifestation of that friendly feeling and cordial understanding which the interests of civi lization and liberty in Europe, ns well as those of the two respective nations, require should ever be main tained between France and reat Britain, and which on this occasion were signally developed by the courteous attentions paid by the gallant hosts to those of our countrymen who had the good fortune to be present at the splendid display, the mind cannot fail to be impressed by a serious ap prehension. Within a few hours' sail of English ground, in a port rendered all but impreg nable by the gigantic genius of a IsTaroLaos, lies a fleet of line-of-battle ships, frigates, and steamers, of sailing qualities unequalled, and manned by thousands of admirably disciplined seamen. Is there no latent meaning in this ? Are those castles of the deep, the Friedland and the Vainly, with their huge com panions and swarm of attendant vessels, paraded for mere idle show, to mike the multitude a passing holi day, or is it not rather a significant demonstration of those formidable means of aggression which are ready, at a moment's notice, to be launched against our home steads, should the ancient fires of rivalry be uns happily rekindled, and the blood of the two bravest of Christian nations be doomed again to flow in hostile torrents? With what other possible view than that of preparation for a war with England, do fleets so mighty and works so immense, the consummation of vast and continuous labour, loom within so short a distance of our southern coast ? Far be it from us to insinuate that the Republic is likely to take any undue advan tage of those extraordinary capabilities, dedicating them to the treacherous purposes of wanton aggres sion, but, doubtless, unless there be a steadfast and unwavering determination on the part of the Mini ster and people of England to maintain the prepon derance of our naval strength, and not to relax one jot or tittle in every sound preparation for the emergency of offensive and defensive war, the day may come of too late repentance for neglected opportunities and suicidal parsimony. Si vis pa cent, Para belluin, is a maxim the truth of which we are bsld enough to maintain, notwithstanding the dogmata of Herr CORBY and the twaddle of the orators of Paulskirche. Will the men of peace solicit from Par'sian statesmanship the disarmament and dismantlement of Cherbourg, or will they content themselves with counselling in the pleni tude of their wisdom that our essential precautions and necessary expenditure should be diminished in an inverse ratio to our liabilities ? In either case, we opine, the honour and profit they are likely to reap from their exertions will be pretty much the same. Had they gone about striving to sow the seeds of pacability in social circles instead of mountebanking on metropolitan stages, the Honorary Member of the Frankfort Congress might have been more philan thropically treated by the sons of beer. That • amicable- veteran HAYNAU. —had the principles of moral force been duly incaii sated by these beneficient apostles upon the popular mind—might have fared ,more gently at the hand* of the BanLide avengers, and the friend of ROTIISCRL:D, the pet of Printing House-square, been spared the over-warm tickling of carters' whips, and the tingling taps of coalies' fantails. In-such fields let them expatiate, and we can safely promise them numerous and applauding audiences, provided the Ojibbeway be specially re tained ; but until they can succeed in convincing us that the bastions, the guns, and the steamers of Cherbourg are but pasteboard toys, or the mere phantasies of a diseased imagination, we must beg leave to decline being gulled by the professors of Peace Congressism, any more than by those of Sab batarianism, Paseyism, or any other such humbug of the day. Elated as Louts NAPOLEON must have felt as he viewed the magnificently stera ,array which wel comed him as the First Magistrate of France, with the thunder of its countless brazen throats of war, he cannot fail to have remarked, that although received with respect and warmth, no indication of an imperial spirit was manifest among the marine on this momentous occasion. There was no dis respect or dislike to the nephew of the great EMPEROR . —far from it—but the evidence of a feeling perfectly in accordance with that for which we are willing to give full credit to the PRESIDENT, namely, the im policy, nay, insanity, of snatching at the diadem of empire by a coup of etat. .We believe LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to be a man of truth, as he is of honour, kindliness, and courage ; and we accept his disavow al at Lyons of any such culpable design as the candid emanation of his mind ; but his ear may be abused by intriguers, or by unwise friends, to whose jesuitical or imprudent suggestions he may possibly be induced to yield himself. He is in a proud, though it may be a precarious, position. In vested with the dignity of chief of the Exe cutive by the suffrages of six millions of free men, is he not a mate for the proudest of the crowned heads of Europe, and will he vio late his solemn word for the prize of a bauble ? We hope he will not ; we believe he will not. We cannot but smile at the infatuation of those musty dreamers who Clink the restoration of the elder House of Bour bon, in the person of the Count DE CHAMBJRD, a thing possible or tolerable for France. Heaven forbid we should ever witness the debasement of the gallant children of that fair land under the re rivetted yoke of those imbeciles, whose motto it is neither to forget nor to learn. But it is not outside the range of human probability that a day may come when the national will may pronounce in favour of a monarcho-republican system of govern ment, somewhat similar to our own, but of necessity more democratic in its elements. Louts NAPOLEON is at present the keystone of the Constitution of 1848, but he may yet be invited to assume a more durable and resplendent position ; nor do we fear that, should the voice of France pronounce in favour of an altera tion of the existing system, and invest with constitu tional sovereignty the nephew of NAPOLEON the Great, he would be found unequal to her requirements, or undeserving of the high trust. But that voice yet remains to be pronounced; and let the PRESIDENT guard his sacred pledge inviolate in loyalty and obe dience to his country, or his will be deservedly the fate of Phaeton. Of himself, left to himself, we entertain a sincerely trustworthy opinion, and we think he is possessed of sufficient sagacity and expe rience to penetrate the mask Qf pretended friendship. If there be any who would goad him to the madness of usurpation, to the infamy of high treason against his country, we would invite their attention to the cour teous Republicanism of the reception of the PRESI DENT by the crews of the grand fleet of France, as an evidence that any aggression on the Constitution for the furtherance of personal ambition and aggran dizement will meet with no very enthusiastic or en couraging countenance from those who have some thing more efficacious within their means than noisy acclamations and intoxicating vices, and whose disci pline are ever at the command of the interests and the honour of France, obedient to, and conservative of, constitutional authority. The remanets from the long list of Bills - intro. duced in the last session of Parliament, which Minis ters were either unable or unwilling to carry through, were unfortunately bath numerous and important, and whether these short -comings of the Government arose from inability or unwillingness will bs tested at the opening of the next session, which we anticipate will be one of the busiest and most critical since that epoch in our political history—the Reform Bill of '32. The political atmosphere is charged with antago nist:c elements, and clearly indicates a gathering storm. The Protectionists and Free-Traders are numerically closely balanced, and the melancholy and lamented death of one great man has left freedom of action to the few who could always turn the scale of party. The late Sir ROBERT PEEL eminently de served the high tribute which the whole British nation has fitly paid to his memory. Born and nursed in the school of monopoly and intolerance, he yet dared to think for him se;f, and had the moral courage to fling aside the prejudices of education and party, and place at the service of his country the results of long experience and extensive knowledge. Happily for his own fame, but still more fortunately for his country, " HE GAVE NOT to party what was meant for mankind." He tore himself from the ties of a strong but narrow-minded party, he trampled faction under his feet, and in the zenith of his matured years and his ripened judgment he thought only of his country. To his successors, to those who acknowledged him as leader, we would say, " Go ye and do likewise." An attempt will no doubt be made, and has been indeed made already, to cajole the friends of the departed statesman in the house of CJmulons. Every inducement will be held out to en tice them into the ranks of the Protec tionists, but shame on the recreant who shall sully the fame of his departed leader by banding with his enemies. We trust none of them will be entrapped into the snare prepared for them, but will continue the firm advocates of those measures of relief and reform which the late statesman carried out in the fullness of honest conviction, after the mature deliberation of a whole life. It must certainly he admitted that several measures of great public utility and importance have become law during the past session. I'Ve may instance the County Courts Extension, the Brick Duties, Charitable Trusts, and Mercantile Marine Bills, with many others ; but far the moat desirable and meritorious were the Bills for Australian self government and extramural interments ; still we cannot overlook the short-comings and failures. The window-tax is still unrepealed ; the savings banks are left without protection ; the Railway Audit Bill is on the stocks:; the Woods and Forests left to the usual mismanagement ; the Jewish question unsettled ; the nuisance of Smithfield unabated ; the Stamp Act but little improved, and Chancery left unreformed. But though these are sufficiently evil, yet the emissions in regard to Ire land are still more to be deplored. The Security for Advances Bill, which was looked forward to with hope and aexiety as a means of working with advantage the Encumbered Estates Bill, has been postponed. But the monster grievance of all, that grievance in comparison with which all other sins of omission or commission sink into utter insignificance, the Irish land question, has been left untouched. To the midnight legislator, whose laws are fre quently written in blood, is still left the adjustment of the relations between landlords and tenants in Ire land. Cruel murders and murderous evictions still bear hideous testimony to the dire necessity fur the settlement of this question. Yet some of our con temporaries advance the preposterous notion that the Legislature is not to interfere ; that it should be con signed to the Utopian hope that a better state of things will arise ; that better feelings will spring up between landlords and tenants ; that some imaginary influence will disarm the assassin, and soften into acts of kindness and justice the hard-hearted landlord. We have no such hopes, we cannot indulge in such vague fancies in the teeth of the direful assassinations and fearful cruelties which this question has been the pregnant cause of fur ages ;' and we most ardently hope that this subject will be the very first—as it most certainly is the first in importance— to occupy the attention of the Legislature in the coming session of Parliament. Upon several occasions, through the columns of t'ais paper, we have exhibited the absurdity of the propo sitions of those who, in entire ignorance or forgetful ness of every principle of constitutional law, would place all contracts about land beyond the reach of le gislation ; and who would snake PROPERTY IN LAND so holy and so sacred as to exempt it f rom a ll th e social - and political regulations to which every other species of property is liable. Upon this point we do not feel it necessary to add a word, for even the " Thunderer" grumbles not forth a rumbling sound in justification of such incomprehensible stolidity. Legislative interference must speedily take place on this all-important subject. The most pressing necessity requires it ; the people demand it ; the Government is pledged to it. 'Without legal inter phsition there is and can be no security for life or property in Ireland. None but the enemy of peace and order would attempt, under such circumstances, to throw obstacles in the way of legislation. The influential journalist, insteadLof expending his power and talent in a fruitless opposition to what the force of circumstances has rendered of imperious and pressing necessity, should rather aid the friends of social order and good government in endeavouring to settle this question upon principles of equity and justice. We should wish to see the person and pro• perty of the landlord secure by circumscribing the rights which he might abuse, and by enforcing, under the sanction of the law, the performance of those duties which he might neglect. Why should the RIGHTS of that man be held sacred who fails in the discharge of the DUTIES WHICH THOSE RIGHTS IMPOSE THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National has the following on the return of the PRESIDENT : " The return of the President was fix2cl for the 13tb. Various rumours have been in circulation on this sub ject. An unconstitutional manifatation was to have taken•place under the auspices of a society now becom ing celebrated. The Parliamentary Commission having been warned had directed steps to be taken for the sup pression, if necessary, of all attempts at disorder. These rumours were subsequently contradicted in a letter from Cherbourg, published by the Evenement. After all, we have reason to believe such rumours unfounded, for we have just received intelligence that M. Louis Bonaparte, hastening his return by a day, will reach Paris via Rouen this ( Thursday) evening. Have the Tenth Decembrists been warned of the fact? We cannot say; but, how ever that may be, the Republicans, even should they be made the object of culpable provocations, will know how, by the dignity and calmness of their attitude, to defeat the calculations of a zeal which we are sure the Presi dent of the Republic condemns as much as we do. To insulting cries uttered by a faction, hostile to order and to democratic progress, the public conscience will, for the honour even of the man who has sworn to defend our institutions, respond unanimously by the cry which ought to be so dear to the Chief Magistrate of the Re public—' Vivo la Constitution !' " It is now admitted by the organs of the Elysile that the sailors at Cherbourg on several occasions raised the cry of " Vive le Prince de Joinville," and the Pouvoir contains a vehement attack upon the Prince, whom it suspects of intending to start as a candidate for the Presidency in opposition to Louis NAPOLEON. It declares that the Prince DE JOINVILLE is a man of mediocre abilities and mediocre wealth, whose only claim to distinction is his connexion with Royalty, which alone must prevent him from ever accepting office as President of a Republic. To this the Ordre, the especial organ of the Burgraves, replies : " We know not what might be the intentions of the Prince de Joinville in the eventuality imagined by the Elysean journal, mar what candidate France would name supposing that an election of a new President should take place in 1852; but this we do know, that the action, if it continues a Republic, ought to be free to choose for itself; of legitimacy, we fancy we have enough, without any one being at the trouble to invent a second. It is not probable that France will think of electing the Prince de Joinville mcdgre lui; the Pouvoir may then spare those fine reason ings it has heaped up oa this subject; but if this Prince, or any other candidate should be chosen, and that on account of those very alarms which are raised by the agitations and menaces of the party which calls itself Napoleon, we should like to know by what right, or in the name of what principle could this same party enter a protestation? If we are under the empire of national sovereignty, it is for the nation to pronounce; if we are to fall back upon old hereditary right, it is not M. Louis Bonaparte Wee is its representative. His title is, that he has been elected for four years, and he has no other." This may be considered as an Orleanist declaration of war against the Bonapartiits, and as an official an nouncement of the Prince DE JOII , -T" Qfn hr. Pre sidency. The Moniteur announces tha• mittee, charged by the Minister o. tide on the measures to be takeri relative Exhi bition of 1851, met on the sth instant, M. ti. DUPIN acting as President. It appears from what was stated, that up to the 3 ISeptember 1,212 applications to b 3 allowed to exhibit had Ix en sent in, cf which 793 wore from the department ef the Seine, and 419 from the other departments. Amongst those persons 144 had obtained at former French exhibitions gold medals, and 212 silver ones. A great number of ap plications have still to be decided on. As the space allowed by the committee (9,500 yards) is filled up, new applicants are required to state the space they may require. The colon steam-corvette which left Toulon for Tunis about a month ago, returned to that port on the 7th. Its mission was then kept a secret, but it is now know❑ that it was to receive two fugitives— SIDI CaDOW, a near relative of ABD-EL-KADER, and his servant, who had escaped from Fe•z. They were taken on board the S ilon, where thy still remain. They are to join ADD EL-FADER.

HOLLAND. Tue HAGUE, SEPT' 11. —After the 15th Septem ber the Netherlands Government will suppress all the navigation tolls on the Rhine in favour of the Rive rain states of that river. It, however, reserves to it self the right of re-establishing them i❑ case of those states that shall treat the Netherlands flag less favour ably than their own flag. This resolution simplifies the labour of the Central Commission for the Naviga tion of the Rhine, which was to meet at Mayence on the 10th, and will probably lead to the completely free navigation of the Rhine, by reducing the objec tions which some of the Riverain states still wish to raise. It is expected that negotiations with Belgium and France will lead to similar measures in regard to the navigatio& of the Meuse. Dutch Papers, Sept. 10. BELGIUM. —..—• BRUSSELS, SEPT. ll.—The illoniteur of this day publishes the convention, concludes at the Hague on the 12th of July, between the Belgian and Nether lands Governments, for the construction of a lateral canal of the Meuse, between Liege and Maestricht. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Hamburgh papers, of the 9th instant, state that the Holstein Diet has been opened in the Castle of Kiel. The members present, 67 in number, were addressed.by Count REVENTLOW, one of the Statthal terschaft, in the following speech:— " Gentlemen,—Accortheg to the regulations of the law of election of the 20th of October, 1848, 3 ou are in trusted by the confidence of the people with the power and duty to represent the rights and inter e,ts of the Duchies. Great is your task, and now it of mere importance than ever, as SehleswigNein more than formerly is left to its own means and per.te verance; and the bearing now of the people and their representatives will decide over the future fate of the country. " Inspired by the sincere love of peace, the Statthal terschaft has repeatedly endeavoured to bring it about by conciliatory measures; Denmark has decidedly re jected every attempt at conciliation, and would violate the rights of the country with the sword of the con queror. We have opposed the invasion of the enemy with armed resistance, and a sanguinary battle was fought at Idstedt. This battle we loq—the fall of many brave men is deeply to be deplored, and the greater part of the duchy of Schleswig is suffering under the oppression of the arrogant enemy; but the armed power of the country is not destroyed. Our army, supported by the German people, is augmented from day to day, and joyfully numbers of volunteers join our brothers in arms. " With deep gtief we see the unsettled state of our German native country, but for our part we are firmly resolved, as true sons of Germany, to persevere and fight for the honour end rights of the Duchies. Oar brave army knows its duty and will complete its task. "The Statthalterschaft published the manifesto of the 2,2 d of July, in reply to the Berlin Treaty of the 2d of that month, which was not to bring peace to us, and in opposition to the resolutions of foreign Cabinets, and it is hoped you coment thereto. To the St Atthaltersch3fL has be( n assigned no part in the negotiations com menced at Frankfort for the reconstruction of our Ger man country. Germany is yet without a chief directing authority. The department for foreign affairs stands in no official connexion with I.,reign Governments. We have nut their protection, but we are not hindered in our resolutions; and in this isolated state rely on the justice of our cause and our trusty sword. Our pecu niary means for continui ng t h e war are not exhausted. The uncertainty as to the duration of the war, and the constitutional duty imposed on us to place the war bud get before the representatives of the people for their ap proval, have rendered it necessary to bring forward fi nancial proposals. si The Statthalterschaft rely on the patriotism and de votion of the Duchies, z.nd acknowledged, with grati tude, the support which the German people have offered them, and will further afford them, by assistance in money and other things. In this extraordinary Diet it does not seem advisable to proceed in the further con struction of the interior organisation of the country; as at present every exertion should be directed to main tain and consolidate the constitutional existence of the Duchies. But one measure reliting to the circulation— the minting of small coin---and some modification of the conscription law, appear urgently required. " Gentlemen, the present time is serious and mo mentous. Let us, with this consciousness, stand firmly together; and, relying on the higher dispensations of God, retain the courage to bring our good cause to a good end. " I herewith declare the extraordinary states of Schleswig•Holstein opened." The Hamburgh liorsenhalle of the 10th contains the following : "Rendsburg, Sept. S.—Our advance guard was alarmed this morning, about 8, with the report that the Danes had entered Gross-Breckendorf, and were approaching in considerable force the po sition of the Steudtner Mill. The first part of the report turned out correct, but not the se cond. On this being known, two detach ments were immediately sent towards the point threatened, the one across the Sorge near the Steudtner Mill, the other along the Bisten lake, towards Ahlefeldt. Both of these detachments con sisted of troops from the 12th and 2 , 1 battalions, and the 2d and 3d Jagers, supported by two 3-pounder and two 6-pounder field guns. These divisions ad vanced to within a couple of thousand ells of Gross Breckendorf. " The Tirailleurs had commenced their fire on both sides, when suddenly a squadron of Danish cavalry were perceivable on the high ground near Breckendorf, in which the two 3-pounder brass guns were brought in advance. These guns did their work well ; for, after a few shots had been fired the cavalry wavered, and a gap was visible in their ranks. Their share in the action, however, was not continued any length of time, as in theirEplace the enzey brought half a battery of 12-pounders, and coTanued firing with such an excellent effect that the squadron of Schleswig-Holstein cavalry, the staff, and the field guns had to retire some distance from the position taken up. Scarcely, however, had this retreat taken place, when the Danes 'themselves also fell back very suddenly. Immediately after, shots were heard plainly towards the east of our position, on the right of the Huttener Hill, which could have only come from the corps :under Colonel Von Gerhardt, and on this we again advanced, and in such haste that the Danes fairly took to flight. They were followed by the Tirailleurs close to Gottorf, about a German mile from the town of Schleswig. At this place the halt was sounded, and the retrograde move ment was ordered, for there was nothing further to be done beyond this. The Danes were therefore pre vented from their reconnaissqnce or foraging party, whatever their intentions had been, and a force of about 3,000 of them had been driven back by about 1,600 men of our troops. Up to the present moment we have nz,„ heard of any killed, wounded or missing on our side; but, of the enemy, five men and a drummer have been taken prisoners. This morning, however, the Danes succeeded in taking a patrol of six men and an ensign. In the west there has been some sharper work. About nine o'clock the Danes advanced with one battalion and four guns from Friederichstadt and made an attack on our position near Sulerstpel. At first the enemy fired grapeshot upon the two com panies of the 11th battalion and Ist Jagers, which occupied the point, and advanced against the entrenchments at the point of the bayo net, but without success ; and ultimately were compelled to retreat with a considerable loss. Of these troops 7 wounded and 6 unwounded men have been brought into our, camp, and a great many of their wounded have been conveyed by their comrades into Friederichstadt, but between 30 and 40 of them are reported to have been killed in the affair on this point of attack. We have also about 30 killed and wounded." Another account has been sent from Kiel, which is as follows : " SEPT 8. " To•day three actions have taken place near Su derstapel, Breckendorf, and near the harbour of Eckertorde. Near Suderstapel our troops, consisting of a detachment of the 11th battalion and the Ist Jager corps, were attacked by a Danish battalion, but which they beat back. The Danes have been com pelled to leave all their killed and wounded behind, together with 25 prisoners. On our side are num bered three killed and about seventeen wounded, among the latter Captain Schneider, of the Ist Jagers. Of the result of the affair at Breckendorf nothing has been known for certainty. Near Alten hof, close to Eckernferde, a party of our troops have been firing against some Danish gunboats. Nothing of importance could have been expected from this affair, as our troops had no cannon, and the gunboats' fire passed our position and did no harm." The Hacnburgh Friec Presse has the following from Altona " ALTONA, SEPT. 9. " Yesterday an action more or less severe occurred oa the whole of our lines. In the centre our troops advanced, by way of Breckendorf, as far as Jagel, without any special result. Our right wing, to the east, drove: the enemy under their guns at Eckenforde. Oar left wing, composed of the Ist Jager corps, the 9th and 11th battalions, was driven back near Suderstapel by the _Danes, having about six batta lions with them. On this point being reinforced by the Ist battalion, the Danes were in turn compelled to retire before our troops, and followed as far as Schwabstedt, about a mile (German) from the posi tion. Nineteen Danish pri4oners have been brought into Rendsburg. Seeth has been occupied by our troops."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL. NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy at a decline in prices. The sales were estimated at Ou ba!et?, of which 600 were taken for export, and 400 on speculation. Railway Shares were in request at higher quotations. In Mark-lane a steady business has been transacted in grain, and the arrivals are not large, though a fair quantity has been received of English growth. In the markets for colonial and foreign produce ex tensive sales have been made this week, and probably even a larger business would have been done in some articles, Sugar, for instance, if holders bad not insisted upon fuller rates. The advonee is 6J. per cwt. on this stapie, and in some instances more. Coffee, likewise, has been dearer, and some descriptions are scarce. Tits is better supported. Rum steady ; Cotton dull ; and Tallow in decided favour at enhanced quotations. Wool at the putdic sales has gone very high. Port Phillip up to 24. 41, Sydney to 25., Van Dieman's Land to 25., and Cape c f Good Hope to Is. 51 per lb. Intelligence has teen received a , . Liverpool that her Majesty's ship Peters!, with the Bruzilian mail, was not to leave Rio de Janeiro until the 2811 July. This will partly account for her being w much behind her time, but she is still overdue. The Seagull was to leave on the 4 h of August. At Frankfurt, on the 10Lis instant, Austrian Metallics were quot.al 8l k, and Spanish Three per Cents. 33i to f. In the Amsterdam market, on the II th instant, the Funds were in a favourable position. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. were 574 to 5-16. Spanish Bonds had an upward tendency, and Mexican were rather higher. The Hamburgh mail with Tuesday's dates quotes the rate for Bids cf Exchange ors London k lower, viz , 13 6i. Not a great deal was done. Money was easy, but stocks and shares were very (pie'. Coffee fully sup ported the previous rise, and was in fact rather higher. Corn was quieter, the weather being very favourable. It appears by accounts from the Levant that the Raisin crop bad promi,ed to be larger than was anticipated, but that subsequently heavy rains fell and occasioned an unfavourable change. Notice has been given that the British contract mail packets on the New York line will proceed direct from Liverpool to New York, and letters sent by that oppor tunity, and intended for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or Prince Edward's Island, will be charged Is. 2d. each, though pre-payment is optional. The English Funds have been well sustained, although a little quieter now the settlement is got through. Con sols brought 96i f for Transfer, and 961 i for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. were 99k to k, and the Three per CenV. 97 to Bauk Stock is firm at 214 to 215. Exchequer-hills have been 635. to 665., and India Bonds 84s. to 87s. premium. Consols are now 961 sellers for October. The German news does not read well. The transactions in Foreign Stocks have been exceed inzly. limited. Spanish Five per Cents. are firm at 19i 1, Mexican at 29i, and Brazilian at 92i to 93. Russian Stock has been marked 110 to 111, and Dutch Four per Cents. have been quoted 90i. Tae Railway Market bas relapsed into rather a quieter conditio❑ after the failure of Mr. J. B. King, who ascribes his losses to west-end clients. The tone generally however is still good, and those shares are weakest for the moment on which the party bad the largest differences to liquidate.

Accounts have been received from Bucharest of the 23d ult. On and after the lath September, all the import and export duties, without exception, will be raised from three to five per cent.—nay, the export duty may even, according to circumstances, be r a i se d twelve per cen t. It is hoped by this measure to increase the Wallachian finances by at least 40,000 ducats, without imposing any extreme burden on commerce. The Kronstadt Zeitung publishes the new organi zation of the land militia, as ratified by St. Peters burgh and Constantinople. After the Ist of Oct o b er next, the regul a r troops of the Wallachian militia will consist of 8,000 men, infantry and cavalry, 1,000 mu nicipal guards, and 9,000 borderers (half of whom are cavalry), total 18,000 men. They must be in active service for the whole year every alternate week s being allowed to spend the intermediate week at home to e cultivate their land. The . borderers' corps is to b formed of dismissed soldiers. ITALY. A letter from Rome, of the 4th September, says : " Putlic attention has been for several weeks much excited by numerous robberies which have been com mitted here both by day and night. One fact, which took place on Monday morning, has mach increased the anxiety and alarm of the population. Some robbers introduced themselves into the office where silver goods are examined and stamped, and carried off everything they found. The official journal states the amount of the loss at 5,000 crowns, but public rumour states the loss at a much higher amount. In order to explain how property to a large amount was in the office, I must state that the Swiss dealers in plate and watches, on ar • riving in Rome, deposited their stocks in this place and bad them stamped as they wanted them. The same plan is adopted in almost every town in Italy. By a very fortunate chance the amount and number of articles deposited in the office were less considerable than usual ; but as it is the fact raises a very serious question as to whether the Government is or is not bound to in demnify the merchants for their losses. The latter maintain l that the rontifioal Tzeasury is ;responsible, OLYMPIC THEATRE. - An English version of Scribs's Giralda, which is at present drawing all Paris to the Opera Comique, was produced here last evening, with great and de success. The scene is laid in Spain, in the year 1650. The heroine, Giralda (Mrs. S irling), a peasant girl, is about to be forced into a marriage with Piquillo (Mr. Compton), a miller, notwithstand ing her avowal of her dislike for him and of her liking fur another, a strange cavalier, with whose features she is unacquainted, when the said cavalier, in the person of Don Manuel de Calvados (Mr. Leigh Murray) appears, and, by a present of (300 ducats, induces the worthy miller to lend him his cloak and hat, and to give up Giralda, to whom in this disguise he is married. Scarcely is the ceremony concluded when the approach of Isabella of Arragon, and of her husband, Don Philip, is announced, and as Don Manuel is a protega of Isabella, who destines him for the Grand Mastership of the Order of St. lago, he flies at her approach, leaving Giralda under the care of Piquillo, with orders to take her to the mill, where he will juin them. Isabella (Mrs. Leigh Murray) ar rives, and sets Don Japhet (Mr. G. Cooke) to watch her husband, Don Philip (Mr. W. Farren, jun.), of whom she is int o ler a bly j ea l ous . D on Philip sees Giralda, and follows her to the mill, and here com mences a scene of most amusing imbroglio, each cavalier been in turn taken by Piquillo for the invi sible husband, the said Piquillo receiving bribes right and left from each. At length Don Manuel manages to persuade Isabella that he had married Giralda solely to place her out of the reach of Don Philip, and is pardoned accordingly and all ends happily. The Giralda of Mrs. Stirling is a beautiful mixture of archness, simplicity, and warm-heartedness, and the Equillo of Compton is a rich exhibition of peasant stolidity. Mrs. Leigh Murray acted the Princess with true Spanish dig- nity, and her husband made a most dashing Don Manuel. The scenery 'by Mr. Shalders was very beautiful, and ome dancing in the first act was in a style that would not have disgraced the boards of the Italian Opera. The piece acts closely, and the rapid progress of the intrigue keeps the spectator per petually on the qui vice. The success was complete. The house was crowded. CREMORNE GARDENS. A very amusing exhibition of old English sports, similar to those which obtained the presence and pa tronage of her Majesty at Osborne on the last anni versary of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, took place at Cremorne Gardens yesterday be fore a crowd of visitors. There were all the games de scribed in " Strutt's Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," and some others which that ingenious an tiquary has forgotten to note. The whole was con ducted with perfect good humour, and received by the spectators with great applause. The performers in their exercise appeared to be well practised " profes sionals," and they got through the parts aEotted to them very creditably. In addition to these novelties the old amusements were adopted, and there was for several hours no cessation of gaiety and delight. FATAL BALLOON ASCENT IN FRANCE ON HORSEBACK. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT GALE. The Bordeaux journals, which have arrived this morning, announce the death of Lieutenant Gale, the aeronaut. It appears that on Sunday last he made an ascent with the Royal Cremorne balloon, on the back of a pony, from the Hippodrome of Vincennes, at Bordeaux. It was the first time that Mr. Gale had ever made such an ascension, and his pony had only a few days before been broken in. At first the little animal displayed great repugnance at being lifted from his feet, but he gradually got accustomed to it, and on Sunday allowed himself to be carried off by the balloon with the greatest composure. As there was some delay in filling the balloon with gas, the pony, gaily saddl d and bridled, was paraded round the Hippodrome, and was regarded with extraordinary curiosity by the spectators. An immense multitude assembled to witness the ascent. The local journals say that the town was completely deserted, and that the adjacent villages sent their contingents. When Mr. Gale was seen to ascend rapidly into the air, seated on his pony with the bridle in one hand and sAluting the public with the other, there was a sort of shudder of fear in the vast gathering. The pony was' perfectly calm, with his legs hanging and his neck bent, but he made no movement. The descent of Mr. Gale, which took place at a short distance from Bordeaux, proved fatal to him. 'When the horse had been released from its slings, the peasants who held the ropes of the balloon, misunderstanding the di rections given by the aeronaut, let go, and the balloon having still sufficient gas in it to give an ascensional force, after losing the weight of the horse, rose sud denly, and the anchor, which held by a tree, being loosened by the sudden motion, the shock upset the car. Mr. Gale, however, clung to the ropes, and was fortunately able to pull the string of the valve to cause a further escape of gas. The ascent of the balloon was then checked, and it was thought, in consequence, at Bordeaux, that he had succeeded in climbing up into the car. This, however, was not the case, as the next day the balloon was discovered lying on the ground, some miles from the spot where the pony was liberated ; and on further search being made, the dead body of Lieutenant Gale was found in a wood, with the limbs all broken. He has left a wife and eight children. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTO N AT DOVER.—About eleven o'clock yesterday morning, the band of the 91st Regi ment marc),ect down the principal street of Dover, playing as it went along, and took up its station opposite the Council house, to be in readiness to receive his Grace the Duke of of Wellington, who it had b,en announced would personally attend a council board of the Harbour Commissioners. A guard of honour was also drawn up in front of the Council house, to receive the Duke, who was to arrive from Walmer Castle. The news soon spread through the town that the Duke was about officially to visit Dover, and In a very short time the open space in front of the Council-house was crowded by parties anxious to catch a glimpse of the illustrious visitor. The roan to Walmer Castle can be seec frown the Council-house for a distance of nearly two miles, and as soon as the Duke's carriage was descried in the distance, the artillery from the heights commenced firing ' salutes, which were continued during the progress of the Duke down Castle-hill, and until he reached the Council-house. His Grace arrived in his own carriage, and was unattended. He was attired in the simple uniform of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports. As the carriage drew up in front of the Council-house the guard of honour presented arms, and the band struck up " See the Conquer ing Hero comes," and a hearty cheer was given by the popu lace, which was echoed again and again by a party of foreigners, of whom there happened to be in Dover at the time a large number, about returning, by way of Calais. to Paris, having visited this country in an excursion party. In the course of the day Mr. Macgregor, the chairman of the South-Eastern Railway Compny, accompanied by Mr. Free• man, the solicitor to the company, had the honour of an in• terview with the Duke on the subject of certain improvements which the South-Eastern Company are carrying out in con nexion with the harbour of Dover. The business of the day having been concluded, the Duke returned to Wishner, the artillery firing salutes as before, mail the carriage of the Duke had proceeded the greater part of the distance. His Grace appeared in excellent health and spirits. THH SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.—The Boulogne Gazette, after quoting the account of the rupture of this tele graph, comments on the manner in which it is said to have been broken, and adds--" We contess we are at a loss to rightly comprehend the real merits of this unfortunate affair in presence of the fact, which we have ascertained, that one of our fishermen is in possession of a certain length of the telegraphic wire and coating, and demands 60 francs for the damage done to his nets in obtaining it. It seems pretty clear that the wire must be broken in at least two places. The circumstance demands every possible inquiry." ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, SEPT. 12 Gunner Pringle, of Captain Adye's Field Battery, while out at exercise this morning, and in the act of loading the gun, met with an accident in consequence of another gunner, No. 5, firing previous to receiving orders and before the duty of serving was completed, his hand being severely hurt and his face scorched by the discharge. Gunner No. 5 was i►nme diately placed under arrest for neglect of duty, and Gunner Pringle taken to the hospital. Gunner Pringle is one of the finest young men in the batteries, and greatly respected. He was recently presented with a medal and gratuity from the Royal Humane Society, in the presence of the whole of the Royal Artillery in the garrison, for saving the life of a boy who had fallen through the ice on the cadets' bathing pond. The boy was the sixth person he had saved from the Caine fate. It is in the same degree satisfactory to learn that Gun ner Pringle is not likely to lose the use of the injured hand, but will be able to continue in the service of which he has proved so worthy a member. The accident has occasioned the greatest regret. THE SEVERN SALMON FISHERIES.—The fence time for the river Severn has now commenced, and the fishing will not be open again until the Ist of January, 1851. The time is now the same both for Gloucestershire and Worces tershire. The Severn fisheries have been very unsatisfac tory during the past season, but this is not an isolated case, as they have been generally complained cf. This evil will doubtless be remedied next year, as the various breeding streams, and the upper portions of the Severn, are swarming with the young fry. As a Turkish vessel, commanded by Captain Sari- Ibrahim,_ was lately poceeding from Sa msoun to Constan tinople, four Greek sailors, when near the coast, mutinied, killed the captain and the crew with hatchets, took a sum of 15,000 piastres, and escaped to land in boats; but, as they had no passports, they were arrested, and their guilt soon after became known. The abandoned vessel was cast by the wind on a 6mall `0.,,
