Perhaps no recent event connected with railway management excited a deeper sensation than the strike of the engine -drivers and firemen of the East ern Counties Railway. On Monday last no less than 179 persons simultaneously resigned the situations they - hid previously held in the company's service, and left tho directors and managers to supply their ,c3s as they best could. The interests of the and the community in general were alike in din the result. The former trembled for their dividends, the latter for their safety, and, according fo the usual custom, there was on both sides a very general disposition to censure the board of manage ment. Before the real merits of the case could possi bly be known flippant opinions were expressed con demnatory of the directors. They were accused of intolerable tyranny, of grinding and paltry parsimony, of a reckless indifference to the public safety and to the comfort and happiness of those who had served them honestly and faithfully for many successive years. It was asserted by an anonymous correspondent of a leading journal, that they (the directors) did not hesitate to commit the lives of hundreds to the keeping of perfectly ignorant drivers, in order to grind Is. 6d. a day out of the hard-earned wages of those who had made themselves masters of their business." As is generally the case, the parties most ignorant cf the facts expressed th e most authoritative judgments, and required no further evidence to induce them to decide in favour of the seceders, and against their quondam employes. Such was the state of affairs when the general half yearly meeting of the company was held, on Thurs day, at the London Tavern. It was generally anti cipa!ed that the proceedings, seldom of a very orderly character, would have been even more stormy than usual, and the quotations of prices in the share list proved that the dealers on the Stock Exchange parti cipated in the opinion. We believe that Eastern Counties stock was never quoted at a lower figure than on the 21st and the m orn i ng of the 22d instant. The clever, lucid, an d satisfactory explanations afforded by Mr. BETTS of the entire circumstances of the unfortunate trans 'action completely removed the misapprehensions that had previously existed, and set the minds of the share holders at rest. Never was an assembly more tho roughly convinced of the injustice of the accusations th 4 bias! been preferred. Those who came prepared toliid fault were the loudest in their applause, and there was an unanimity on the question rarely exhi bited by any company, but perfectly unparalleled at the Eastern Counties. It was not that Mr. BETTS made any attempt at display, such as is generally resorted to, in order to carry away a meeting. The principal charm of his oratory consisted in its truthful simplicity, a vrai semblance that brought conviction to the minds of his auditors. There were no finely rounded periods, no appeal to the passions, or studied expressions. It was a man of business habits and sound common sense explaining to persons, jointly interested with himself in an important undertaking, the true principles on which their affairs should be conducted—the abso lute necessity of resisting the unreasonable demands of the ern/Ayes, which, if conceded, would constitute them the masters rather than the servants of the com pany, and prevent the possibility of carrying out the economical arrangements, which the general depre ciation of railway property renders essential, and which the Eastern Counties directors have pledged themselves to—and which they are gradually, but steadily bringing into operation on the entire line. The most skilful and practised orator could not, how ever, have produced a more striking and almost magical effect than the simple and straightforward speech of the Chairman of the Board cf Directors. A little consideration might have convinced the parties who hurled their anathemas against the autho rities of the propriety of awaiting the authorised answer to the assertions of the malcontents, before giving premature expression to opinions formed on inade quate data. The conduct of the engine-drivers made out a prima facie case against themselves. They at tempted, in the first instance, to ride roughshod over the directors, and to compel them to decide a ques tion of considerable importance without even hearing the defence of the accused. Their earliest complaint, the first intimation given to the board of directors of any dissatisfaction being entertained towards Mr. Goocu, the new superintendent, was accompanied by a threat. Their memorial concluded with these words :—" We deeply regret that we are compelled to be so hasty in our proceeding., but the prompt man ner in which Mr. Goocu is caking out his tyran nical measures leaves us no alternative. We are quite willing to serve your honourable board as here tofore, but we have unanimously come to the determi nation to be the servants of your honourable board no longer than the 18th of August, 1850, unless Mr. Gooca is removed from being our superintendent." Here there was no application for inquiry, no expression of a willingness to come forward and prove the charges then, for the first time, brought forward. They would not even wait for the decision of the board on the memorial. The deputation which presented it met a single director (Mr. axes), the only one at the station, no such complaint having been for a moment antici pated. That gentleman received them in a most courteous manner, and did all that man could do to assuage their irritation, to calm their angry passion., and to induce them to pursue a rational course. He declared the directors " had no knowledge of any dis agreement between the engine-drivers and Mr. Gooca; they had never complained individually or collectively, and that was the first intimation they had given. The directors had no desire to part with their old servants, or any intention that they should be harshly or unfairly dealt with. They believed Mr. Goocu to be a kind man, and he was so con sidered by those under his management on the South-Western Railway, where he had been employed for the last ten years. His serious advice to them was not to act precipitately or prematurely. Many of them doubtless had wives and families, and they should, therefore, consider before they acted in the way mentioned in the memorial. They would see that he could not be prepared with an answer, as in justice to Mr. Gooca the directors must hear his reply before they determined the matter. They would see Mr. Goocu, and endeavour to adjust their dffer ences." This conciliatory and judicious answer, how ever, failed to satisfy the malcontents. The prudent advice given by Mr Exam was slighted and despised. The Chairman arrived at the station within a quarter of an hour after the departure of the men, and he im mediately telegraphed for Mr. Gooca to come to the station, and to bring with him a statement of all the fines he had imposed; but in the interim every man's resignation had been placed in Mr. Gooca's hands. They were on printed forms, prepared for the occa sion even before the meeting with Mr. ELLts, and were contained in a single parcel. Every employer of human labour throughout the length and breadth of the land, every man accus tomed to see many persons engaged under a single master, must be well aware of the injurious conse quences of yielding to such intimidation. If they had done so for a single moment—if they had truckled to the palpable combination, there would have been an end to all subordination. They were in the position of rebels in open arms, who could not even be treated with until they laid down their weapons. These misguided individuals had, how ever, formed an erroneous:estimate of their own con • sequence, and persevered in their reckless course. The directors took every precaution that prudence dictated to prcvide for the emergency—no exertions were spared to replace the seceders by competent and well-qualified drivers. Other companies came nobly forward to render assistance in a matter of general interest, and spared several experienced drivers until the arrangements of the directors could be perfected, and the best refutation of the charges against the new superintendent was to be found in the fact, that many experienced drivers re signed their situations on the South-Western Railway to follow their old superintendent (Mr. Goocu)—a sterling testimonial to his kindliness of disposition and temperate government that could not be surpassed. Meanwhile the drivers were rather surprised at the firm and unexpected position assumed by the direc tors ; they had supposed themselves indispensable, and they began to be aware of their mistake. They held daily meetings, at which every accident, or rather everything that could by possibility be tortured into an accident, was to have been brought forward, and the characters of the new men exposed, if any tan gible charge could have been= preferred, but, fortu nately, they " reckoned without their bust " in these respects, Although the men were brought to a new district, with which they had previously been UMW qu2inted, and although means were taken to occasion accidents that might have led to the most calamitous resu:ts—nothing "but a slight shaking of a passenger train, that could_ scarcely be called an accident," had occurred. And, notwithstanding the urgency of the occasion and the pressure of the emergency, the characters of thelnew candidates for employment were rigidly tested, and none but those who could bear the strictest inquiry were retained, so that Mr. BETTS was able to speak personally of every new driver on the line, and to express the fullest confidence tha " there was not one who was not equal to the dis• charge of his duties." The seceders were all this time speaking loudly as to the public safety and the dangers incurred by the directors in bringing new and untried men. But to whom was this danger ascribable. Was it not to the men who discharged themselves en masse, and refused to continue their duties even until their com plaints had been investigated ? The parrot cry of " disregarding the safety of the passengers" proceeded strangely from such a quarter, and did not assort well with the removal of the " gauge glasses," the soap, the tallow grease and sand that were found in the boilers and axle-boxes. These latter acts of so deeply criminal a character were not brought home to any of the parties, and GOD forbid that we should, without ample proof, suppose that any body of Englishme n could be guilty of such atrocious and cowardly conduct; but some persons, aware of the probable consequences of such proceedings, must have been cognizant thereof, which certainly did not help the cause of the seceders. Their last hope was, however, placed on the share holders, and bills were handed to every gentleman en'eri-g the room, asking for a committee "to inquire into all the facts of the case." This, be it remembered, was the appeal of m en w h o had previously refused to permit anyinquiry with respect to Mr. GOOCH, who had served their notice s before their complaints could be investigated. The shareholdev, however, unanimously considered that they bad llpsed their time, and had now no locus atandi, and this feeling Was con firmed by the statement of the Chairman, that be and Mr. ELLIS had investigated, the very day of the memcrial, " every single fine that had been im posed upon the men," and that, "as a practical man, he could say that not a single fine had been imposed that should ii)t have been imposed, nor had any fine been imposed from an improper motive." Under such circumstances, we cannot feel surprised at the perfect cordiality and unanimity with which LONDON; the customary vote.of thanks to the Chairman and di rectors was carried, and at the feeling universally en tertained, that by their conduct during this try ing emergency they had gained new claims upon the gratitude of the important consti`ueney whose inte rests they have so efficiently watched over for the past year. They have not been able "to command success," but they have unquestionatly " deserved it." Various have been the methods adopted by cele brated men of giving vent to their feelings when enraged, vexed, or perplexed. MOZART was wont, on such occasions, to rush to the pianoforte and rattle away his annoyances in a series of brilliant fantasias. THERSITES raved, ACHILLES sulked, and Dr. HEIVMY PHILLYOTTS writes pamphlets. No sooner is that right reverend and holy man thwarted or annoyed than he forthwith retails his vexations across the counter of his bookseller, at the low charge of cane shilling and sixpence, making commodity of his cala mity and turning his very grief to profit. It might have been supposed, from the tenor of the letter which the Bishop of EXETER thought it decent to ad dress to his Metropolitan on the subject of the judg ment of the Privy Council in the case cf Mr. G-ost lIAM, that the Right Rev. Prelate would sturdily • have refused to take any steps that should aid, assist, or abet the induction of Mr. GORHAM into the living of Brampford Speke, and that he would have braved the terrors of the Ecclesiastical Court rather than have returned into the court the presentation; but the opinions °fare Bishop of Exlc'xEß on the subject of martyrdom are, it is evident, similar to those of MATTHEWS' old man on the subject of Vauxhall—"lt's very fine, but it's very expensive." An unbeneficed clergyman like Mr. SHORE may in deed afford to become a martyr, but with a well endowed dignitary of the Church the case is different. Comfortable is a prebendal stall at Durham, most comfortable the revenues of the see of Exeter, com fortable exceedingly the patronage attached thereunto• These are matters not lightly to be placed in jeo pardy. The race of Silkies, whether lay or clerical, must " provide for their families," and accordingly, having a wholesome horror of the FLUELLIN of the Ecclesiastical Court, our Episcopal PISTOL eats his leek, and swears while eating. Dr. PHILLI'OTTS re turns the presentation to the Arches' Court, and writes a letter to the churchwardens of Branwford Speke. There would be something excessively ludicrous, if the subject-matter were less grave, in the spectacle of this five-times defeated Prelate ap pealing on a matter of law from the Courts of Westminster Hall and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, and on a matter of theology and church discipline, from the judgment of his Metropo litan, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, whom at his consecration he had sworn that he would reverence and obey, to the churchwardena of Brampford Speke; but the subject is -of too grave a nature to be treated after this fashion ; albeit, it must be confessed that the specimens of " slangevhan gery" (we are forced to adopt an Americanism to describe accurately the peculiar characteristics of the Bishop's style) with which this epistle abounds are most tempting. The Bishop commences his letter by giving his own version of the history of the Gorham controversy, and, while in allusion to his consecration vows, he says— " When I was consecrated to the high office which, however unworthy, I bear in the Church of Christ, I solemnly engaged, just before I was admitted to the com munion of !Ls body and of His blood, to be ready, the Lord being my helper, whirl alt faithful diligence ;to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doc trine contrary to God's word;'" he does not condescend to explain how it happened that he, knowing in the early part of 1846, that the Rev. GEORGE CORNELIUS GORHAM, then Vicar of St. Just, within the diocese of Exeter, "held doctrines on: the subject of the baptism of infants which he (the Bishop of EXETER) deemed directly contrary to the sure Word of GOD, as set forth in the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England, and still more plainly in the offices of baptism in the Book of Com mon Prayer, and in the catechism, or ' instruction to be learned of every person before he be brought to be confirmed by the Bishop,' " did not, in obedience to his consecration vow, take immediate steps "to banish and drive away the strange doctrine from his diocese," but suffered the, as he be lieves, "heretic" to continue teaching unmolested in the parish of St. Just for the space of not less than eight, perchance for the space of twenty months. At the period of his consecration as Bishop oi Exeter, Dr. PHILLFOTT3 declared , that he felt "persuaded that the Holy Scriptures contain suffi ciently all doctrine required of necessity to eternal salvation through faith in JESUS CUBIST," yet, strange to say, throughout the whole of this controversy neither the Bishop nor any of his supporters hate ventured in any one instance to appeal to the Scripture, or to adduce a single Scripture authority in support of the tenets which they profess, and this letter to the churchwardens of Brampford forms no exception. The uninspired Prayer-book is constantly quoted as an authority, the inspired Scriptures never—per chance the Bishop does not altogether approve of the summary of episcopal duties given in the Scriptures. It bas long been known to all scholars that there are on the Episcopal Bench many Bishops more pro foundly learned in theology than the Bishop of EXETER, in fact, that Right Reverend Prelate has been in respect of theology somewhat of a chamelion, and has generally been of the bue of his examining chaplain for the time being, and the probability is that had not Mr. MASKELL been the Bishop's ex amining chaplain at the time of the presentation of Mr. Gonneess to the living of Brampford Speke, the world would have heard nothing of this baptismal regeneration controversy. Since the decision of the Judicial Committee Mr. Meseessa, has gone over to Rome, and we were curious to know how Dr. Puler., POTTS would menage to conduct the controversy in the absence of his " guide, philosopher, and friend ;" he has very judiciously, and with infinite tact, given the subject the go by. "I say ditto to Mr. I3ußsee," said the Bristol merchant when called on to make his profession of political faith. "I say ditto to Mr. Archdeacon BARTHOLOMEW,", says the Bishop of EXETER, when called on in the absence of Mr. MAskann to conduct the baptismal controversy. "It was my intention," says the Right Rev. Prelate, " to have addressed you somewhat at length on the grace of baptism. But that has been done so admirably well by the pastor near to you, my friend Archdeacon BARTHOLOMEW, in a sermon on The Holiness of Baptised Infants,' that I shall thankfully avail myself of its publication, and trans mit a copy of it to every house within your parish." The manner in which the Right Rev. Prelate de clares what he will not do now, but what he would have done, and what -he will do, had certain things happened, or should certain events occur, is charac teristically Pistol-like; he will, not set up an opposi tion to Mr. Goanem in Brampford Speke by licensing a " sound minister" to preach in the parish, because Mr. Goanaet has been instituted by the Arch bishop. "The case would have been very different," magniloquently saith Dr. PHILLPOTTS, " if—not the Archbishop, but some p€rson authorised merely by the State—had affected to give institution. In that case, I should have continued to regard the cure of souls as void, and to supply the vacancy by a minis ter licensed by myself." If that is his only reason, he may licence his oppo sition man to-morrow ; it is " as a person authorised merely by the State" that the Archbishop of CANTER- BURY has inducted Mr. GORIIAM, it is as a person " authorised merely by the State" that Dr. PEILL POTTS enjoys the revenues and privileges of the Epis- copal see of Exeter. The Parliament established the Church and the Parliament can dis-establish it, and if the Parliament chose to exerci,e its power and dis- establish the Episcopal Church and estab lish Prebbyterianism in its place, !k, Dr. FRILL., poTra would be ejected from the Cathedral 'Church of Exeter, and the revenues which he now re ceives would be paid over to the uses of the Presby t,,riart Church, which would then be the Church of England by law established, as it is at present the Church of Scotland. The Church was established as a State Church by the Parliament, and the establisher is necessarily superior to the established. We shall have other opportunities of arguing this point, and we tl'erefore return to the letter. The Bishop will not venture to " take steps to bring Mr. GOERAM to trial for heresy by reason of the publica'ion of his book entitlei On the Efficacy of the Baptism of Infants,'" but "if he should put forth the same dogmas in another form, or should preach the same; in such case," says the Bishop, "if I could obtain sufficient evidence of such publication, or such preach ing, I should deem it my duty to institute legal pro ceedings." And thereupon the Bishop proceeds to explain his notable plan for obtaining such evi dence : " You," says the Bishop, " as the churchwardens of Bramplord Speke, are bound by the most solemn obliga tions to tho Church, end to the Divine Head of the Church, in which yuu hold tha highest office you as lay men can hold—you are bound, I say, to bring to the knowledge of the Bishop, or to the Archdeacon, any in stance in which you shall conscientiously believe, on just and reasonable grounds, that your minister has preached or taught anything contrary to, or inconsistent with, that which the Church proclaims to bo the true word of God. " Ordinarily, I should deem it highly unfit to warn any churchwardens to be on the watch for occasions of complaint, when they listen to their preacher's words. Ordinarily, they are bound to hope and to believe that he discharges his high duty faithfully, until they shun have been compelled, by painful and undoubting cape rience,to attest the.contrary. But yours is not an ordi nary case; you have already t)o strong reason to appre hend that your new vicar may endeavour to spread the poison of heresy among his people, by denying the efficacy of the Holy Sacrament of Baptism to baptized infants. And, therefore, I now charge you, if you ever hear such false doctrine flow from him, that you note his words accurately and report them to mo, or to the Arch deacon, without delay." The Bishop at his consecration promised " that he would maintain and set forward, as much as in him lay, quietness, love, and peace among all men." We will not willingly " believe him capable of dishonest subterfuge," but will rather " hope, as charity bids us hope," that he really, " conscientiously, and honestly believes " that he is maintaining and setting forward " quietness, love, and peace among all men," in the parish of Brampford Spike by setting the church wardens to act as spies on their minister. Be that as it may, the method adopted will ba perfectly inoperative as a foundation for legal proceedings. No Court would venture to act upon notes so taken by such persons in a case, in which not only a word, but the position of a word may be of the utmost importance, no Court could proceed save upon the verbatim report of an accomplished short-hand writer, corroborated by the independent report of another short-hand writer equally accomplished, and as no such gentlemen can be found in the parish of Brampford Speke, the Bishop is perfectly safe in saying that he will prosecute, if he can obtain evidence. No man understands the virtue of an "if " more com pletely than does the Bishop of EXETER. We regard this letter therefore as a mere brutum fulmen, vox et pretcereahihil, words "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing," so fir as Mr. GORuAM is concerned. With regard to the Bishop himself, the case is different—to him the letter is as a safety-valve, and, having given vent to the effervescence of his wrath and disappointment, we doubt not but that he is better both in body and mind since its publ"cation. DEATH TilE SUN, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 26, 1850. ARCTIC EXPEDITION. ADMIRALTY, AUG. 26, 1850 The Secretary of the Admiralty will feel obliged by the Editor of The Sun inserting the enclosed in the paper of this evening. EXTRACT OF A DISPATCH FROM SIR GEORGE SIMPSON, DATED NORWAY HOUSE, JUNI; 26, 1850. I am sorry it is not in my power to give any information respecting the fate of the expe dition under Sir John Franklin, as no advices have been received here from the Arctic Regions since the arrival of the express which conveyed chief factor Rae's letters up to the 29th November, receipt of which was acknowledged from London previous to my departure from Canada. The packets that were forwarded from Lachine to Mr. Rae and Captain Pullen, under dates 21st of January and 14th of February, reached Red River Settlement respectively on the 30th of March and the 30th of April, but from the circumstance of the bearers of the first packet having lost their way between Cumberland and Luc la Rouge, occasioning a loss of nearly a month, they did not reach Isle a la Crosse till June Ist, one packet arriving there in the morning, and the other in the evening of that da3 ; the former was dispatched within an hour after its re ceipt, and the latter in like manner, the bearers of the second packet overtaking those who started in the morning. As the navigation of the rivers was open, it was expected that both packets would have reached Great Slave Lake before the breaking up of the ice in time to enable Captain Pullen and Mr. Rae to have re sumed their search, provided there were sufficient provisions in the district for that service ; but that is exceedingly doubtful, as the demands upon our resources during the three past years have ex hausted our reserves (which under the most favour able circumstances are always low in that poor and remote part of the country) to such a degree, that it was found necessary to send many of the servants during the past winter to neighbouring lakes, to subsist themselves by fishing. The to o boat loads of provisions, with crews of fifteen men, ordered by me, under date 21st January, to be forwarded from Red River, to meet the demands of the expedi tion, to be fitted out this summer, were dispatched by chief factor Bellenden, at the opening of the navi gation, with a hundred pieces of pemican and fl)ur, stores of tea, sugar, biscuit, pork, &c., for Cap tain Pullen, and Mr. Rae, and about fifteen bales of clothing. o .ving to the late breaking up of Lake Winipeg, these boats did not reach the grand Rapid until the 12'11 June, but as the crew corsisted of fourteen picked men of the settlement, and one of the most ex periencEd and active guides, they will dot:b•less natio an expeditious voyage to McKenzie River ; I fear, however, they will arrive too late to be available for service during the present season of open water. It is expected the cargoes of these boats will be delivered entire as arrangements had been made to victual the crews for the whole voyage from Red River to McKenzie River. The continued absence of cbi,f factor Rae from the charge of the important district of M'Kenzie River is attended with very serious inconvenience to the business; but we consider no sacrifice too great in giving effect to the views and wishes of her Albjesty's Government and the British public in reference to this pain fully interesting service. The Duke of Wellington leaves Apsley House this day for Walmer Castle, far the autumn.

SUICIDE OF A CHARTIST LEADER.—John Warden, for many years a Chartist leader in Lancashire, and who was tried at Liverpool a few years ago, with a number of others, but acquitted, committed suicide on Monday week by cut ting his throat. The incision, however, was not so dece but that he lirgered until Monday last, when he died. His life of late had been one continued scene of misfortune. Father, mother, brother, wife, and child— all - followed each other in rapid succession to the grave; and, at last, the sole survivor began to wear the aspect of a dejected and pining being, un • til at length, finding be was somewhat deficient in his ac counts with his employer, a card-cutter for jacquards, whose books he kept, he put an end to his existence. ToWYN.—FATAL OCCURRENCE..—LYO respectable farmers, from the parish of Manafon, Montgomeryshire, of the names of Goodwin and Newell, while bathing at this place on Monday evening, went toe far into the sea, and, not being able to swim, lost their footing, and were drowned. The sea was quite calm at the time. and it was low water, several other persons were bathing at the same time, and it beirg so tine and the sea so smooth, no one for a moment thought that the unfortunate men were in danger until tco late. Both the deceased have left wives and several children to lament their untimely loss.—North Wales Gazette. SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Mr. Longbournr, agent for Lord Milford, in Pembrokeshire, has been accidentally drowned. He went in a phaeton, accompanied by a servant, to Maenclochog fair; after transacting his business, he set out homewards in the afternoon. To shorten the distance, he resolved to pass through the river Cleddy by a ford near Egremont ; he was warned that heavy rains had made the ford dangerous, but he persevered. In the stream he dis covered the correctness of his warning; the current was so strong that the horse could not resist it; the animal plunged about, and the shafts broke. Mr. Longbourne leaped from the vehicle to swim ashore; the servant clung to the horse, and gained the land, but Mr. Longbourne perished.—North Wales Gazette. SALMON FISHING?.—We have j ust had the Lammas floods, but they do not bring up salmon, for salmon there are few or none to bring. The season has been a mast unpro ductive one to our tacksmen. From whatever cause, there seems to be a general decay of red fish in our western Scot tish rivers. The Glasgow courier of Tuesday says:— " A few weeks will terminate the present salmon fishing season. On the Clyde—once famous for the extent and richness of its takes—it has been the mos: unsuccessful upon record. Since the month of March, when the fishing begins, we be lieve there have not been forty salmon killed betwixt Glas gow and the mouth of the river." Such a fact as that is quite extraordinary.— Danzfries Herald. OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS —Major Jacob, of the Bombay Artillery, is appointed a Companion of the Military Order of the Bath. Mr. W.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The illonitcur pub'idits th 3 following telegraphic dispatch, dated Strasburgh, the 23d o' At gust, at one in the afterncon : " The President of the Republic visited the Civil and Military Hospital, the Foundry, the Arsenal, and the Cathedral this morning. 'There was in immense crowd everyt here, and he met an excellent reception. He leaves Strusburgh at this moment, amiilst cries of Vive le President'.' lie is clotely followed by an immense crowd." The reception of the PRESIDENT at Strasbourg was very cold. Nothing could be more unen thmit:stic than the address of the Mayor, it is as follows : " Monsieur le President,—Your solicitude about the interests and wants of our neighbourhood brings you to our torn. We congratulate you on your good visit. Be pleased, Monsieur to President, to sea in the hospi tality we are happy to offer you a proof of our pro found respect for our institutions, and for the First Magistrate of the Republic." The following case has just been decided by the Tribunal of Commerce. AI. ESCUDIER, the publisher of the Decadence de l'Argleterre and the Loi Anglaise, by M. LEDRU ROLLIN, was sued by M. ANTOINE on some bills of exchange, of which he was the holder. M. DCUDIER, in his defence, demanded that M. LEDRU ItoLLIN should be declared responsible, and assigned the following grounds for the demand : When M. LEDRU ItoraaN agreed with AL ESCUDIER to publish these winks, he would not have hina as a direct debtor, fearing that an opposition would be placed upon any of the proceeds for debts due by M. LEDRU ROLLIN. He therefore made M. acuntEß sign bills, which were endorsed to the order of M. DALICAN, DI. LECLANCHF and M. ANTOINE. In coinpl ing with th e d es i re o f M. LEDRU ROLLIN, M. ESCUDIER expected that the two works would be com pleted by the author, which has not been the case, and, above all, that there would be a sale for them, whereas they have rema;ned on the shelves of his warehouse. Having derived no benefit from the works, he had therefore a right to refuse payment of the bills when in the hands of a person who was only a prOe-nom. The Tribunal, after hearing the plead ings, complied with the demand of 117. ESCUD!EIt, and gave judgment by default against N. LEDRU ROLLIN.• We read in the Paris correspondence of the Inde pendancc of Brussels "You are avvra that a rumour prevails here that a letter has been written by the Prie:ce do Joinvide to a representative of the moderate party. This letter was read the day before yesterday at M. Mo!6's, end the name of the member, formerly an ambassador, who re ceived it, was mentioned. It is said that it is the Re publican party which provoked the seeding of this fire brand, as it is resolved to support the Prince de Joimille against the pretenskns of M. Louis Bonaparte, and lees In the position of that candidate, as regards his own family, guarantees against any possible return, by that way, to the monarchy. ALhough I believe the litter to be authentic, I have to state that a deputy, well known for his relations ‘lith the younger branch, M. R. (dn Nord), who Las just returned fcom London, eh clams that he has had a conversation with the Prince ee Join ville, which was little in accord with the intentions at• tributcd to him by the letter, as spoken ef by the Bulletin de Penis." There is a well written article in the Presse on the probabilities of 1852, from which we extract the ful- l owing: - " The Republic will not die—such is the first solution, which appears more and more evident as we go on. The Bonapartists already make themselves Republicans through fear of legitimacy, and we shall soon see the Legitimists doing the same through fear of the Em pire. The Or:cellists may also be converted through fear of something else. In fine, the poor Republic, so disdained, will be the coannon shelter. We an nounce that, in 1852, there will be only lOlaib hears. How con!el it be otherwise P Who could, in 1852, combat the Republic? Certainly not the Repub licans. The Republic is not such as they imagined it, but still it is the Republic. In wYat is only a firm, even a degenerate one, they feel the germ ef demo cracy, and they trust to time, which ripens all that just and true. Not the Orleanists. The Count de Paris will be still a clai:d in 1852. The party which regrets the revolution of 1848, atter having effected that of 1830, feels more ill-humour than antipathy fur the R-...- public. It could not eons( nt to again raise a throne on an ill-eNtinguished volcano; it will guard the Republic which reserves it 1101 , 03. Not the" Legitimist-. A restoration of La Vent is impo:sible, so is one by a European ceali , ion. The Legitimists, no doubt, have the object of their predilection at Frosdorf ; but, in de fault of their young King, they will guard the Re- 1 public which prottcs and reserves their prEciple. Remain the Bonapartists. The dreams which they had made in the atmosphere r f flatteries and faLehood concerning an empire Lad vanished into thin air on the banks of the Rhone. Scarcely had M. Luis Napoleon Bo naparte left the Ely: oe, when he recovered something of that sound sense which we had admired in the works of the prisoner of Ham. In approaching the people, he got farther from the phantasmagoria created by his courtiers, and perceived the vanity of coup; detat, which he has disavowed, as well as the power of the Republic, which he has recognised and proclaimed. On that side also there is no danger. The idol is wanting to the adorers, supposing that there are any such. The Empire reminds us of a statue without a pedastal. It is hence forward only a pedestal without a statue." Bu.SIN ILS DONE IN FOR CIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOGE-EXCIIANGE, Auc. 24.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, of the 20th ,ast., in the Kolner Zeitung, states that a Cabinet Council was held on the 19th, in which it was re solved to decline accepting the Austrian invitation to join the "Federal Diet," and reserving a protest against all "non. German" consequences to consent to a Commission respecting the property of the Con federation, The Gazette of the Empire of Vienna, of the 17th, contains the following article : " Ths convocation of the Germanic Diet by Austria is a fre , h attempt made to bring about concord in dis united and divided Germany. The revolutimary move ments of the last two years, and the policy adopted by Prussia having thrown Germany into anarchy, Austria will convoke the plenary assembly at Frankfurt. That assembly to resolve two questions: 1. The formation of a new central provisional power, and. 2. The revision of the Federal Compact. It is also necessary to give an organ to the Confederation, in order to impress on the affairs of Germany a character of unity and of durability, and t‘i place all the members of the Confederation in a position to prepare for the future. The differences which have arisen, however, between Austria and Prussia produce obstacles which will' neith , r permit the creation of a federal organ, nor to come to an understanding as, to the revision. The circular dispatch addressed on the 190 July by the Austrian Cabinet to all the German Governments sufficiently proves it.. Under these circumstances, the Austrian Government had no other course than to place itself on the ground of Germanic right in re maining faithful to its policy, and to ensure the appli cation of the Federal.Cumpact, which has never mated to exist It has found it necessary to propose the re establishment of the Diet, the constitutional organ of the Confederation, for it would otherwise have been im possible to have triumphed over the obstacles raised on different sides, and fresh combinations. The objections, which some of the confederated powers may raise against the formation of a provisional power, without their participation, will be without any value with re gard to the convocation of the constitutional and legal organ of the will and of the action of the Confederation. Count Thun is therefore charged to propose to the plenary Assembly to revive the Diet, and the As sembly will authorise the convocation. The,Austrian Go vernment has proposed this convocation by a circular note c f 14th August. It takes pleasure is believing that the great interests of the country, its welfare, its power, and its honour, will be worthily appreciated 'by all the Government; and even by those which have hitherto folios ed an individual policy. For what reason should they not fulfil their federal duties? Dors not the fede ration give them a full and entire guarantee of indepen dence and liberty? Will not a mediating federal au thority best conciliate diverging interests? We repeat, the Austrian Government —strong in the sincerity of its intentions—is authorised to admit that difficulties of form, which every Government can remove, will not pre vent this last attempt et conciliation. Nobody will incur the responsibility of having exposed the German name to the derision of contemporaries and of posterity. The Diet is to assemble after the lit September, until after the revision of the Constitution, and Austria has so lemnly promised that she will not demand tho pure and simple reestablishment of the former irstitutions.” ITALY. Several arrests gave taken place in Florence. The Croce di Sovoia of the 20:h states that the King of SARDINIA, having had an attack of elysipelus in the cheek, had been bled twice, but it does not appear that any danger was apprehended. The QUAEN LOUIS PHILIPPE (THIS DAY.) The melancholy duty devolves upon us of an • nouncing the death of Louis Philippe, the ex-King of the French. His Majesty breathed his last at half•past eight o'clock this morning, at his residence at Claremont, thus terminating, in exile and compa rative seclusion, a life as eventful and as full of vicis situde, perhaps, as any on public record. Intelligence of this melancholy event reached our office this morning by a private messenger, and in order to satisfy ourselves of its truthfulness we im mediately caused inquiries to be made at 23,- North u:nberland-stree", Strand, the town•residerce of his Majesty, where we received from a domestic a full confirmation of the report, a special messenger having this morning arrived in town, shortly after 10 o'clock, bearing a dispatch announcing his Majesty's lamented demise. We are not yet in possession of the circumstances attending this event. It is well known that his 'Majesty has been ailing for a considerable time past, but there do not seem to have been any apprehen sions that his malady would have terminated so sud denly fatal as it has done. We learn that his Majesty was so well on Saturday as to take an airing in a hand-carriage in the grounds attached to his residence at Claremont, and afterwards dined with the members of his family residing there. How he spent yesterday (Sunday) we have not been able to ascertain, further than that about three o'clock in the afternoon a change for the worse was perceptible in him, which has re sulted in the sad event to which we give publicity. Human life abounds with contrasts and coin cidences. Whilst we chronicle the demise of one of the far-famed potentates of the earth, the booming of cannon, the jocund chiming of bells, and banners waving in the breeze from the towers and spires o f this metropolis, celebrate the anniversary of the natal day of another—that of the Prince Consort of these realms.
