The long-expected L AFIELD has at judgment of the Court o f Bank ruptcy in re E D WARD THOMAS D E __ length b een pr on ounced. After stringent an searching investigation into the affairs of theunford tunate young gentleman, during which every trans action of hi s lif e was l a id b a r e —after a rigorous — we had a l most sa id a v i nd i ct i ve — oppos iti on , by which the final adjudication was retarded for eleven months from the time of striking the fiat, a certificate has been granted, unclogged by any conditions. All the circumstances of the case were remarkable : the mag nificent inheritance to which the bankrupt had suc ceeded on attaining his major ity in 1845—the po sition he had subsequently occupied as a partner in a commercial firm of great wealth and high respect abiliry—his operatic and theatrical speculation, under which his splendid fortune dwindled away as if under a blight, leaving him at 24 years an utterly ruined man, not only deprived of the 100,0001. into the possession and enjoyment of which he had entered three years previously, and of his share of the pro fits of the establishment of which he had been a member, but involved in debt to the amount of 30,000/. and upwards, and, without a hope of ex tricating himself, save by an appeal to the Court, which the humanity and justice of the British law had established for the relief of unfortunate debtors ; All excited a deep feeling of interest and compassion in the public mind, and an earnest hope was enter ;tained that he might pass scatheless through the painful ordeal to which he vas about to be exposed. The stern rigour with which any breach of the com mercial code was regarded by the Commissioners of that Court the vast importance of its deci sions to the trading community, and the danger....,of , establishing a precedent which might by any possibility, be tortured into a precedent for the justification of extravagant or reckless conduct, were also well known, and anxious fears were entertained lest in the discharge of his imperative duty the Learned Judge might have deemed it necessary to iaflict further punish ment on one who had already been so heavily afflicted. These fears have, however, happily proved groundless. In an able and well-considered judg ment, which reflects the highest credit on the Learned Gentleman, Mr. Commissioner FANE, whose great experience in all matters relating to bankruptcy must give the greatest weight to his decisions, has exonerated Mr. DELAFIELD from the charges brought against him, and declared him entitled to his certifi cate, which it was insisted should either be altogether withheld, or that, if granted, it could only be after a considerable suspension, and on condition of devoting a large portion of his future earnings to the liquida tion of his existing debts. The facts were simple. Mr. DELAFIELD on attain ing his majority had come into possession of 100,0001. bequeathed to him by an uncle, and was also entitled under his father's will to a reversion in the further sum of 6,0001. He was shortly afterwards admitted into the house of COMEE, DELAFIELD, and Co., from the profits of which he derived a further sum of 2,5001. per annum, so that he found himself at that early age in the enjoyment of a clear income of 7,500/. per annum. He had been educated at Ox ford, and there had probably contracted certain habits of extravagance which the alumni of that University , are generally supposed to acquire during their so journ, to at least as great an extent as classical knowledge. His fortune and expectations were w ell known. He could find no difficulty in obtaining any amount of credit which he required from the civil and accommodating tradesmen. The only wonder, therefore, was that his university debts only amounted to 3,000/., and that a much larger sum was not re quired. He did not immediately receive his money on coming of age, and being anxious to pay off all his creditors, he borrowed a sum of 4,6001. in March, 1846, which it was agreed should not be repaid or demanded without twelve months' notice on either side. In that year, 1846, he entered into a small theatrical speculation, bringing over the Brussels Operatic Company to sing in this country, by which he lost 2,3001. In February, 1847, he presented a sum of 5,000/. to his friend (Mr. WEJ I . STER), and in the latter end of August of the same year he withdrew his capital from the brewery and became the lessee of the Royal Italian Opera House, where his losses in two short years amounted to no less than 81,355/. Indeed he was " thoroughly ruined" at the end of the season of 1848, and, although he struggled on for a time and kept the theatre open, he had to fly the country to avoid arrest in April, 1849, and the fiat was struck on the 12th July in the same year, which brought him within the jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy. The objections to his certificate were partly on public and partly on private grounds—the public being, profuse and reckless personal expenditure and making away with his only remaining assets, when his circumstances were utterly hopeless. The gift of 6,0001. was also alluded to in this part of the case. The only private complaint was by the lender of the 4,6001., who had instituted proceedings for its recovery without giving the notice which he was bound to give under the terms of his agreement, and who was consequently obliged to pay the costs of the suit. On the first point, of profuse expenditure, it appears that his personal expenses amounted during the period that elapsed between his coming of age and bankruptcy to 22,0001., of which 3,0001. was ap plied to the liquidation of his Oxford liabilities ; his personal outlay then amounted to about 5,000/. per annum, or little more than two-thirds of his actual income at that period. It might have been impru dent not to live more sparingly. A bachelor, without any incumbrance, could undoubtedly lead a very comfortable and pleasant exist- ence on a much smaller income, withou being compelled to submit to any great privations, or to deny himself any gratifications in which he though proper to indulge. But, notwithstanding these facts, it could not, as Mr. Commissioner FAME justly re marked, be termed " reckless expenditure in a person who bad above 7,0001. a year." Neither could the gift of 5,000/. to Mr. WEBSTER, although such dona tions are by no means of ordinary occurrence ; for it appeared that at that time, and after making the large present, Mr. DELAFIELD had 80,0001. remaining in the hands of Messrs. Comms and Co. over and above every demand ; and the recipient of his generosity had been his most intimate friend during his college career, where he had rendered him services of the utmost importance, and it was also supposed that he was about to become very closely connected by a mar riage, then in contemplation. This ground of com plaint, then, also failed. The assignment of the debts of the concern to Mr. BEALE, in April, 1849, was a more formidable point. There is nothing which the Court guards against with greater vigilance than any undue or fraudulent pre ference in favour of one creditor at the expense of the general body. Mr. DELAFIELD had assigned all his remaining assets to Mr. BEALE the very day of his departure from the country to avoid arrest. But a small portion only was for an existing debt ; by far the greater part was to enable the performances to be continued, which gave the only chance to the bank rupt of in any degree retrievin g his position, and was (the expenses having been already incurred and en gagements entered into) the best course for the general body of the creditors. The matter did not therefore really call for much censure, and if it had, it had been condoned by the acceptance of 1,0001. by the assignee, with the consent of the general body of the creditors. The opposition, then, totally failed on public grounds, and the private matter was not more tenable. A gentleman thought proper to bring an action, contrary to the express terms of his own agreement ; Mr. DELAFIELD de fended it from not having received the stipulated notice. Had he done otherwise, it is by no means improbable that he would be charged with having given an undue preference in favour of his old friend and college companion, Mr. EVEItSFIELD. The Learned Commissioner most properly decided against the condition that was asked for. Nothing can be more impolitic than to clog the future in dustry, to mortgage the labours of any man who has no other dependence. It would prove a mill-stone about his neck, from which he could never extricate himself; it would deprive the creditors of the chance of payment, which they might have at some future time from his honour. Not one case in ten thousand that pass through the Insolvent Court is afterwards paid through the steady industry of the insolvent. It may from future bequests, although the probability is that it prevents any legacy from being left to the party. It would, therefore be useless to the creditors and most u n f a i r to the bankrupt, from whom it would take that i a t w w a y o u e l a e ry f f ord gleam of of extracting h ope As somethingto the c hance his wealthy re l at i ves, that alone was a sufficient rea son against it. All persons will, therefore, coincide in the propriety of th e judgment that refused ' it, and bestewed his certificate on the unfortunate young man, who has received " a t err ibl e lesson, which we trust may be of use to him during his future exi3t- efICC. " The rule which had been obtained from the Court of Exchequer, cal lin g u p on the Co mmissioners cf Land-tax in the Holborn division cf the county o f Middlesex to show cause why they should not meet at the usual place, and make an equal pound-rate for the several perishes and places within their division, was yesterday discharged with costs. The real merits of the case were not entered into ; th ere was no decision on the true intent and meaning o f the 38th George 111., cap. 5. The Court deter mined that any jurisdiction it might formerly have possessed was taken away by the sth and 6ch Wm. IV., cap. '2O ; that consequently it had no authority to i n terfer e , but that the statement of the C omm i ss i oners , th a t they had made such a rate was , to all intents and purposes, binding and conclusive. Although it was notorious, that no THE SUN, LONDON, less than 2s. 6d. in the pound was charged upon pro perty situated in one of the subdivisions which they had formed for their own personal convenience, while another and more prosperous district was permitted to escape for the comparatively trifling contribu tion of 1-Bth of a penny in the pound, or 1-240th part of that for which their neigh bours are held responsible. This decision goes to this extent, that the Commissioners, who totally disregard the trusts and abuse the ex tensive powers confided to their hands, are to be held utterly irresponsible ; that there is no tribunal that can reverse their decisions, or provide an adequate remedy for the monstrous injustice inflicted under their authority, and that they are to receive their costs from the aggrieved parties, who may venture to complain of their erroneous orders. We cannot, however, regret this result. We have already pointed out that any judgment of the Court must prove utterly inadequate, under existing circumstances ; and that the in terference of the Legislature is essential to re store a full and perfect equality of rating throughout the entire kingdom. It is fortunate, therefore, that judgment has been so promptly obtained, as it will deprive the advocates of the existing system of their chief argument—that which has already been ad vanced by Sir CHARLES WOOD, vii. : " That all the remedies which the law allows have not been already exhausted." Parliament must now enter upon the consideration of the question. It alone can provide a fitting solu tion for the difficulty ; not merely the tax-payers have complained of the oppressive and unequal as sessment of the impost, but even the Commissioners themselves have applied for further powers. Sir CHARLES WOOD will doubtless endeavour to avoid the subject during the present session. It is, to him, a matter of but little moment how unfairly the charge may press on different districts, pro vided the stipulated amount be paid into the Exchequer. Non octet nummus appears to be his rule of action, and it will require no ordinary stimulus to induce him to take any step which has not for its object the obtaining additional revenue. But why should the independent Members remain idle and apathetic ? Can the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Buckinghamshire forget that his constituents are obliged to pay an average rate of ls. 2id. in the pound, and the electors of the adjoin ing cuunty of Bedford ls. ld. in the pound, while those of Durham escape for lid., of Cumberland for : id., and of Lancashire for id. in the pound ? Can the Premier even be satisfied that the citizens of London should be mulcted of ls. , while the inhabitants of Manchester and Sheffield only pay -id. or one 1-49th part thereof. Can Lord NUGENT, the liberal and upright reformer, whose high rank and hereditary title has not diminished his zeal for the popular cause, be satisfied to see Aylesbury paying 3s. 2id. in the pound, while Liverpool only gives 1-24th of a penny ? We are certain that a construction so impolitic and unjust cannot be sanctioned by any Honourable Gentleman. All that is necessary is, that the matter should be brought forward to insure an equitable decision. It is, however, left to the Government to decide on as a matter especially deserving of their notice. But so it will remain, and be shelved for an indefinite period, ifsome independent Member do not inquire into their intentions, and give ndtice of motion for leave to introduce a Bill, unless he shall obtain a satisfac tory assurance that it will be brought forward without any unnecesary delay within the present ses sion. We trust that the question may be speedily asked, that the aggrieved parties may be made ac quainted with what they have to expect from Minis ters. Meantime, the deputies from the different dis tricts should not relax their exertions. They have already rendered valuable service to the community by bringing under notice the existing inequalities, by the tracts they have published, and the proceed ings they have instituted. Let them persevere vigo rously and energetically, and they must succeed. " A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," and a speedy and an easy victory will be achieved. Mr. Bunn, the late lessee of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane and Covent-garden, has lately been giving his dramatic monologue at Derby and Liverpool with great suc cess. The Derby Illocury, in noticing this interesting lecture, &c., says," While bestowing, without one single drawback, unqualified praise on every part of Mr. Bonn's performance, we are called upon especially to notice his exposition of the ordinary way of rendering the language which Shakspere has given to the witches in Macbeth, and his delivery of it in the way it undoubtedly ought to be delivered. Mr. Bunn's reading of the second interview between the Weird Sister► is the most consummate mastery of the art of recitation, ac companied by the most energetic action we remember to have witnessed. In addition to the most important informa• tioa, Mr. Bunn delights us with those displays of humour that convulse the hearer with laughter. LETTER FROM THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.-A short time since (says the Court Journal) the rector of a parish situate in one of the Midland counties, having by dint of much personal exertion obtained subscriptions towards the restoration and repair of his beautiful church, still found himself unable to meet all the claims which the outlay had occasioned. To supply the deficiency, he wrote to many persons of wealth and eminence in the country, politely apologizing for the intrusion, and soliciting their aid. The following is a copy of the reply which the worthy rector re ceived to the application which he made to his Grace : " F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mr. —. As Mr. feels that his letter needs apology, the Duke will say no more on that subject, but he must add that, as there is not a church, chapel, glebe-house, school, or even a pagoda, built from the North to the South Pole, or within the utmost limits of the earth, to which he (the Duke of Wellington) is not called upon to contribute, the Duke is surprised that Mr. —, having already raised 7,5001. towards the restoration of his church, should make application to the Duke, who has nothing to say either to —, or to —.shire." Immediately upon the receipt of the epistle the Rev. Gentleman was offered five guineas for the autograph, which he readily accepted, entering the amount in his subscription-list as the Duke of Wellington's contribution to the fund. A BODY FOUND IN TILE TIIAMES.—Last even ing, between seven and eight o'clock, the body of a man was taken out of the river Thames, off Dowgate-wharf; Lower Thames-street. From all the appearances of the dress of the deceased, it appeared that he had been employed as a bargeman, or otherwise employed in canal-boats. The body was conveyed to the parish vault, where it awaits a coroner's inquest. Passengers are now actually brought from Dublin to Liverpool for fourpence a head. Liverpool is, in conse- quence, infested by gangs of vagrants who have come over for the purpose of begging ; and a capital thing some of them make of it. A select vestry have issued an advertise ment requesting housekeepers to discountenance the system, by giving no alms at their doors to unknown parties. INDIAN NEWS.—Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house, when Sir Timothy Van sittart Stonehouse, Bart., was appointed a provisional mem ber of Council at Madras. Lieutenant-General Sir William Maynard Gomm, K.C.8., appointed on the sth inst., Com mander-in-Chief of the Company's forces on the Bombay establishment, was further appointed second member of the Council of that Presidency. A YOUNG WOMAN KILLED. —Yesterday evening, shortly after six o'clock, a servant girl, aged 17 years, was observed to be cleaning an attic window of Mr. Vaughan, paint manufacturer and oilman, 56, Stone's-end, Blackman street, Borough. While some of the passers-by were re marking upon her foolishness in having pl ace d h erself in so dangerous a position as the window-sill, they were horrified to see that she had suddenly let go her hold, and, falling backwards, after turning over two or three times, she fell upon the pavement with a fearful crash. Medical assistance was immediately at hand, but all human aid was useless, her head being so dreadfully fractured that her death must have been instantaneous. Fortunately none of the pas sengers received any injury from her fall. - - PARISH OF ST. MART, NEWINGTON.--yesterday the poll of the above parish, which had been appointed at the vestry held on Friday last, commenced at the boys' school-room, High street. 'The question arose out of the recent borrowing of 40,000/., and making contracts; for the erection of buildings at Walworth villa, for the accommoda tion of the infant poor by the board of guardians, without the consent or knowledge of the parishioners. At the last vestry a vote of censure upon the guardians was proposed, and in opposition to it an amendment was carried, express ing approbation of their acts. Mr. Wills then demanded a poll, which was fixed for to-day. On the close of the poll at live o'clock, the numbers were—for the amendment, 83; against it, 37 ; majority for the guardians, 46. CATTLE FROM AFRICA.—A vessel which has ar rived from the West Coast of Africa has brought several head of live cattle, as a portion of a cargo, the produce of that quarter of the globe, and consigned as merchandise to parties in this country. DYFMGWN MINING COMPANY.—A meeting of this company was held yesterday at the company's offices, Old Jewry, Mr. P. N. Hadow in the chair. No report or accounts were submitted to the meeting, although it appeared that the assets were 333/. 65., 4d., against which the claims, up to the 31st of May, were 2061. 2s. I Id. ; the contemplated produce of the mine was twenty tons of lead ore per month, although the sale for the last two months had been only five tons; arrangements were made for a supply of water power, and no further call was required at present. In the course of the discussion which arose, Mr. English submitted that in ! an ti ? in t c u o o r ui e ins a tl si r e 6ah p go o ru t e t l ed f d r bo laideu m p o t n h . e b e c Tf o oh m r ee the m e i x t t p e e e n , d ai meeting,tsu r a e l swhich i t n a otne wasmt h e unwnt was c s t e a e t d e e d d t o 5O a l N . - r A a g e d e 2 s 2 u s l / t . o , rywhciolenytei r i%t t o i o t a n l r e e n t s u u r e n 3 s , had with r t e f e e x r- - ence to the management of the mine, which resulted in its being understood that a commuuication should be made with the agent on the subject. An eel, a foot and a half long, and two and a half inches thick, cut off the supply of water to the Glasgow Police -office last week. It was found tightly wedged in the service pipe, which had to be broken to pieces in order to extricate it. T • C OD FISHERIES.—The vessel William Panton, arrived from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, has brought 395 casks of cod, and 1 cask of pale seal oil, and 28 casks of blubber, consigned, and also 76 casks of cod, and 23 casks of seal oil, and 4 packages of codfish, to order, the produce of that district fishery. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Additional particulars are given by them of the incidents which marked the recent journey of the PRESIDENT to and from St. Quentin—all indicating the affectionate enthusiasm evinced for him by the population. When distributing the livrets to the workmen of that town Louis NAPOLEON thus addressed them, his words being greeted with acclamations : " I am happy to find myself in the midst of you, and I seek with pleasure for those opportunities which place me in contact with the great and generous people which elected me, for my most sincere and most devoted friends are not in palaces, they are under the thatched roof; they are not in gilded halls, but in the workshops, on the public place, and in the country. I feel, as the Em peror said, that the fibres of my heart respond to yours, and that we have the same instincts and the same inte rests. Persevere in the honest and industrious path which leads to comfort, and let these livrets, w hich I am pleased to offer to you as a feeble mark of my sym pathy, remind , U 3 of the t oo s h ort so j ourn w hi c h I made amongst you. ' Before leaving St. Quentin the Prince proceeded in the midst of the firing of cannon, and beating of drums, and ringing of bells, to the superb cathedral, where, at the foot of the high altar, he was met by the Bishop of SOISSONS, arrayed in full canonicals. That ecclesiastical dignitary then addressed him as follows : " Monsieur le President,—lt was worthy your high character, and the sentiments which distinguish you, not to wish to leave this town, where you have received so m any proofs of affectionate sympathy, without offering up a prayer to Him by whom those govern who have been invested with the glorious mission of rendering nations happy. This act of faith, Monsieur le President, honours you personally, and also honours the religion the interests of which you so well defend. It will be for France an additional guarantee of happiness. What greater reward can there be for a heart so thoroughly French as yours, and which every day makes such noble efforts to secure the moral and social welfare of our fine country ?" To this address the PRESIDENT replied,-- 2 - "Monseigneur,---yo u have interpreted my sentiments, and I thank you for it. With you I admit that the power of religion is indispensable to consolidate the welfare of the country. I am happy that my efforts receive your blessing, and I beg you to intercede with Heaven for their success." After the conclusion of the religious service the PRESIDENT went in his carriage to visit the different manufactories, where he found the workmen at their labours, and was received by them with the warmest marks of sympathy. At . ten o'clock the PRESIDENT proceeded to the railway terminus in the midst of a dense crowd of people. From a house situated at the extremity of the Faubourg, and which was noted as the head -quarters of the demagogues and the Reds, some cries were attempted similar to those heard on the eve of the review; but they were soon drowned in those of "Vive Napoleon," " Vive le President," "Viva l'Empereur !" The train started amidst salvos of artillery, and cries, a thousand times repeated, of Vive Napoleon." Having arrived at the Fernieu station, the PRESI DENT, accompanied:by his brilliant suite, and attended by his aide -de-camps, diverged in carriages to La Fere, where he was welcomed with loud cheers and cries of " Vive Napoleon !" in the streets, and after wards entertained at a sumptuous dijeuner at the Mairie. At the conclusion of the repast, the Mayor of La Fere addressed the President of the Republic as follows : " The President of the Republic has permitted me to express to him the wishes which our population have charged me to make known. May you, Monsieur le President, accomplish the high mission which the whole country has confided to you. May you restore confi dence and union to our country. May you consolidate our new institutions, and secure with them the grandeur and the prosperity of France. If this work is immense, it belongs to you to accomplish it with the loyal co operation of all good citizens. Your presence in the midst of us gives us an opportunity of offering you ours, and rely on it that it shall not fail you." The PRESIDENT replied as follows ; " Gentlemen, I am happy, before quitting the depart ment of the Aisne, to pass a few moments with you, to thank you for the welcome you have given me. This de partment, in fact, contains all the elements of prosperity which a French heart can desire; these elements will never fail. I have visited, yesterday and to-day , a town illustrious for its manufactures and its commerce, and now I see another town which has been always dis tinguished for its excellent military spirit. In the same way that religion seeks to propagate the faith by honour ing its martyrs does this town honour itself by preserving its military spirit and traditions. We will also propa gate the traditions of honour and glory of which this sown guards the sacred deposit. It is for that reason that I propose a toast to the town of La Fere, where the remembrance of those who have died for the country, and who serve as an example to the living, is always honoured. I give you—' ro tho town of La Fire, where are formed those sentiments and that military spirit which are always dear to truly patriotic hearts. To the town of La Fire. This toast was drunk with immense applause. Throughout the whole of the PRESIDENT'S excur sion the peasantry seemed to exult in the privilege of ejaculating that name which is cherished under the thatch, that greeting which has been sanctified by so many glorious recollections. At St. Quentin, at Creil, at Pon toise, at Chaunay, at Compeigne, at Per nieu, at La Fere, the favourite cry was everywhere, " Vive Napoleon !" The artisans were equally as enthusiastic as the peasantry. At Chaunay more than six hundred workmen em ployed in the refineries, preceded by a flag, filed off before the PRESIDENT, with cries a thousand times repeated cf " Vive Napoleon !" On the PRESIDENT arriving at Saint Quentin, an old soldier of the Empire presented him with a silver cup, which he had received from the Emperor NAPOLEON as a reward for some striking act of bravery. A beautiful token of the goodness of heart and magnanimity of the PRESIDENT of the Republic has just been brought to light by the conversation ex cited regarding the journey of M. TRIERS to see the Count DE NEUILLY. It is said that the Prince ex pressed great satisfaction at the recent visit paid him at the ElysC!e by M. TRIER S prior to his departure for England, and conveyed through that gentleman the expressions of his personal sympathy and regard for the Orleans family. Nor is this de , . claration of sympathy merely hollow compliment, seeing that from the day when Louis NAPOLEON came into power he has been full of attention to the exiles, and has personally directed the transmission of the private moveable property belonging to them. lle lies even gone so far as to take a direct interest in the steps which were taken by an adherent of LOUIS PHILIPPE to save some of his real property from the depreciation with which it was threatened. LOUIS PHILIPPE has not been insensible to this kindness. A few months ago, a gentleman who had been attached to the household of Louis PHILIPPE in a high position, called upon him at Claremont, and, finding the passages almost blocked up with bales and boxes, made a remark on the sub ject, which produced the following words from the ex - KING :—" Tout cela vient de Louis Napoleon, qui s'est montre envers nous plein de bienveillance—cet hontine a le cceur grand et genereux." The fact is txculiarly noble and 'magnanimous on the part of the Prince, bearing in mind his long exile When the ex-King was reigning on the throne of the barricades, and his six years' incarceration at Ham. Ministers, it is reported, in the event of carrying the grant of 3,000,000 f., intend submitting to the As sembly a proposition for the prolongation of the presidentship of Louis NAPOLEON for ten years. A. curious circumstance occurred in the bureau of the Assembly, of which the Marquis DE LAROCHE JAQUELIN is president, during the discussion on the augmentation c f the PRESIDENT'S allowances. In the course of a vet y animated speech which M. DE 141, ROCHEJAQUELIN made in opposition to the measure, he said that if they were to have a Republic they ought m t to ma k e i t a quasi-monarc h y , or t o p l ace their Presid en t on the footing of a sovere i gn . T hey ought to h ave either a zeal an d complete Re public, with Rep u bli can i nst i tu ti o ns, or to have re course to a l eg i t i mate Monarchy— namely HENRI V. This expr ess i on roused the i re o f M. R OURER , t h e Minister o f J ustice, who excla i me d " All ez d one le chercher, v o t re HENRI V. " Rather to-day than to-morrow," was M. LAROCEIEJAQUEIAN'S answer, "if France wishes and will allow it." M. RounEß replied sotto voce, but sufficiently . loud to be heard by several Members "J'aimerai mieux la Rslpublique Sociale que HENRI V. !": It is evident, if this be true, that, whatever the secret wishes and intentions of the great body of theparty of order may be, the intentions of the Ministers of Louis NAPOLEON are by no means in favour of a restoration of the dynasty of the Bourbons. The Marquis of NORENIANBY had a long interview on Tuesday with the PRESIDENT of the Republic. It is confidently stated that the terms of the arrange ment of the Greek quarrel have been settled, and that they will be announced in the course of to-day. After this interview the PRESIDENT held a Council of Ministers at the D V ; L.

A dreadful accident occurred on Monday near Melull, on the railroad from Paris to Lyons. A lady named Madame BRUEURE, eaugirer-in• law oi Baron ST. JAMES, travelling in the cou i t4 of the diligence, was burnt to death before assi3tance could be afforded. The cause is attributed to some lucifer matches that had bden left in the carriage. A dispute has taken place between M. LUCIEN MURAT and General CHANGARNIER, in consequence of which M. MURAT has resigned the command of the 3d battalion of the National Guard of the banlieue of Paris. Gal gnani is, as usual, adorned with little announce ments of surpassing horror—one mentions the mur der of an adulterer at Croy by the injured husband ; another a disastrous fire at Marne, whereby 190,309 francs worth of property was destroyed ; and another the sudden death of a young bride at Puy, during the marriage feast, when dancing with her companions. Ann-EL-KADER is not so ill as was reported. The Bourse was animated to-day, and a consider able improvement took place in the price of Govern ment stock. The Five per Cents. opened at 93f. fic., rose to 94f. 35c., and closed at 94f. 20c.. The Three per Cents., closed at 561. 55a.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 7551. ; Rouen, 5601. ; Havre, 225 f.; Great Northern, 4501. ; Avignon, 175 f. ; Vierzon, 345 f.; Basle, 1101. ; Bordeaux, 390 f.; Paris and Stra s b urg , 333 f. 75c. ; Tours and Nantes, 215 f.

Madrid journals of the 7th have been received. They contain scarcely any intelligence of interest. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Grace and Justice have had a long conference with the POPE'S Nuncio, and it is said that the concordat is on the point of being concluded between Spain and Rome. This important measure will sanction the sales of property formerly belonging to the clergy. MADRID BOLSA.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 5-16 for cash; the Four per Cents. at ; the Five per Cents. at 13 ; the Debt without Interest at 4 ; and the Coupons at 7-1-. GERMANY. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 11 th inst., in the Kohler Zeitung, states that his Majesty the KING has passed a quiet night, and that his wound is proceeding favourably. Negotiations are being carried on between the Governments of Great Britain and Prussia regarding the treatment of political refugees. In reference to these negotiations, we would re commend our readers to turn to the perusal of a letter published in another portion of this evening's im pression of The Sun, addressed to ourselves by some of these very refugees. The letter deserves con sideration. SWEDEN. A letter from Malmo of the Bth states that orders had been received to provide troops to relieve those stationed in the Duchy of Schleswig. RUSSIA. A terrible catastrophe is described as having oc curred recently on the Vistula, the intelligence being conveyed in a letter from Me we. The writer states that as a ferry-boat was crossing the river, on the Gth inst. (its passengers, numbering in all 120 persons, on a pilgrimage to Maria-Long, a town situated on the Drew ens) the boat began to leak. The passengers getting alarmed entreated the boatman to return, but he persisted in pushing forward. A sort of panic then seized the passengers and on their all rushing to one end of the boat it capsized, and every one was precipitated into the water. Out of the 120 passen gers, many of whom were women and children, only forty were saved. When the letter was sent from Mewe_fifty dead bodies had been found. TURKEY. According to a statement conveyed to us, through the Austrian Lloyd's, it seems that a society of English capitalists has offered to the Ottoman Government to establish railways from Constantinople to the sea and to Salonica. ITALY. INSURRECTION AT PALERMO. The Costituzionule of Florence quotes a letter from Palermo, May 20, giving an account of a new attempt at insurrection in the vicinity of that city. It states that on the evening of the 18th some soldiers from the country stations arrived at Palermo, bringing the information that armed men were assembling in the neighbourhood and approaching the city. The ggnerale was immedi ately beaten ; the troops, including the cavalry and artillery of the garrison, marched out to meet the insurgents, and a s serious conflict, which lasted several hours, took place on the plains of St. Paolo. Overcome by numbers, the insurgents retired and dispersed. Not one of them was arrested. Five persons of the neigh bourhood were taken up and afterwards released, their innocence being evident. Many arrests had been made in town before the occurrence, but few after. A rumour was current that a movement was to have taken place at daybreak on the 19th in Palermo itself. The French soldiers at Rome are beginning to grumble at the number of parades they are obliged to attend in all weathers, in soaking rain as well as in broiling sunshine, while the ecclesiastical ceremonies and pontifical processions are proceeding. An Englishman, writing from the Eternal City, pays the following earnest and deserved tribute to the late gifted sculptor, Ricamtp WYATT, a man of great genius and ability, who recently died tbere pre maturely : "I have to-day the painful duty of recording the death of Mr. Richard Wyatt, the eminent British sculptor, whose works are so well known at home, and whose fame is spread in every part of the world where the fine arts are valued. It was only a few days since I visited his studio, and admired the last touches which his graceful chisel had given to the finished statue of Flora, on which he had been for some time engaged. Judging from the health he then enjoyed, and the elasticity of his mind, I could not anticipate that ere the week was out I should have to attend his funeral ; but he was taken off after a brief interval, and he lives now only in his works and in a fame that will, no doubt, be everlasting. lam more than partial to hi s sty l e, as, in my opinion, he surpassed all living artists in representing the pure and delicata beauty of the female form. Nymphs' are the perfection cf ideal and physical grace, and I be lieve in that department of sculpture he was unrivalled. I understand that • the Penelope' in possession of her l'ilajesty, which I have not seen, is a work of higher mer it, but I only know him from those statues now in his studio—' A Nymph coming out of the Bath,' A Shepherd-boy protecting his Sister in a Storm,' and, above all, from the Flora,' on the perfection of which his whole mind was engaged. As Mr. Wyatt was as much respected in pri va t e as h e was eminent in public life, his funeral was attended, not only by artists of all countries, but by every English gentleman now in Rome. His value as a friend will be long remembered by those to whom he was attached, and his fame as a sculptor will outlive this age." The only reply likely to be conceded to the re monstrances addressed to the Pro-Secretary of State by Mr. FREEBORN, in reference to the examination of the house of M. ERCOLE, seems to be that of the old adage—" Do at Rome as the Romans do F' NEW MAP OF CUBA.—With that surprising ra pidity for which Mr. Wyld has long been remark able, he has just issued from his establishment a brilliant and complete map not only of that splendid island of Cuba, which has recently been the scene of a disgraceful movement, but of the whole of the neigh bouring possessions of Greit Britain and the United States. The map consequently includes the Ba hamas, St. Domingo, and Jamaica, besides a glimpse of Florida and Yucatan—while a smaller map in the north-east corner gives a comprehensive sketch of the relative position of the whole in regard to the Gulf of Mexico and the adjacent margin of the two continents. The entire production is as singular for its clearness as for its elaboration. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY. - The anaual examination of the girls' school took place yesterday, the 12th, at the central school, Borough-road, when the Right lion. Fox Maule, M.P., presided. The largo room was crowded to excess, hundreds going away unable to ob tain admittance. The attainments of the children appeared to afford the highest gratification to the assembled company. At the close Mr. Fox Manic addressed the meeting at some length, in a very effective speech, enforcing the value of education, expressing the high sense he entertained of the labours and efficiency of the society, and impressing many excellent counsels on the minds of the children and their parents. LIVERPOOL CORPORATE BATHS.-NO measure carried into effect by the town council has, perhaps, been of such extensive advantage to the community generally as the establishment of cheap baths; and that they are highly ap preciated is evident from the increasing patronage they re ceive, especially from the working classes of our popu lation, for whom they were more particularly intended. In the Paul-street baths the increased demand for bathing has been particularly remarkable during the past year. It ap pears that, for the quarter ending the 24th of May, 1849, the number of bathers was 11,000 ; receipts, 2001. ; while for the same quarter in the present year the return was--bathers, 13,951; receipts, 2301. For the week ending the sth inst., the number of baths used was 2,677 ; receipts, 361. 13s. 9d. ; and for the corresponding week in 1849, 1,634, showing a dif ference of 1,043. The result is such as fully to justify the efforts now being made by the council to extend the advan tages of these baths to other districts of the town. —Liverpool Mercury. IMPORTATION OF TALLOW.--A vesbei has arrived at one of the wharfs on the river side, with 86 casks, and a quantity of tallow, from Yarmouth, salved from the ship Samuel, wrecked on her voyage from Cronstadt ; and ano ther vessel, arrived in the river, has brought 85 casks of tallow from Yarmouth, being a further portion of the same cargo. 'Twelve hundred lizards have been imported into Plymouth from Jersey, and are intended for exhibition in that town. They are valued atjtearly 3001. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. t • CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The saies s,s Cot7an at Liverpool yesterd .y were esti mated at about 4,000 bales, of which 500 Amer cans and 500 Pernam and Maranh. m were taken for export, com prising 2 000 American, 600 Pernam and Maranhao], at 7-0. to 7d.; 600 Bahia, at 7id.; 300 Egyptian, chiefly at 9d.; 250 Surat, at 40. to 5/ci.; and 50 Sea islands, at ls. 4d. to Is. sd. per lb. With the exception of a slight further decline in American under 74d. per lb., there is to change in the market.—Railway Shares were firm at higher quotations. The sales of Wheat in the markets which govern the duties continue moderate. The six weeks' average price is 395. 2d. per quarter. A great deal of attention has been excited in the City by the allegation that the Customs' au thorities have made further discoveries of frauds upon the revenue, and for connivance in which certain parties are stated to have been held to heavy bail. The greatest secrecy has been observed in the matter, but rumour asserts that coffee is one article on which duty has been evaded. The idea is that the penalties claimed may be paid, and further investigation thus obviated ; but the Customs' authorities are exercising great vigilance, and may pro bably trace out other evasions. Accounts from Copenhagen still allege that the Schleswig-Holstein affair is not settled, and does not look altogether promising. At Amsterdam, on the 11th inst., very little was doing in Public Securities. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 56 ; Peruvian and Grenada Bonds were higher. The English Funds are very quiet, but exceedingly ' firm. The payment of differences on the account is being effected to-day, and appears to occasion no diffi culty, although the recent fluctuation has been so heavy. Consols have been 97 to if for Transfer, and 974 for Ac count. Exchequer-bills are 68s. to 715., and India Bonds 88s. premium. Bank Stock has been done as high as 208 and 209. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 98 to 4. Upon the subject of the New Grenada Debt, Messrs. Baring Brothers have addressed a communication to the committee of Spanish American Bondholders to the effect that they have not received the remittance of 17,725 dollars, as advised to Messrs. Powles, Wilson, and Co., towards the payment of the dividends of Dec., 1848, whereas Messrs. Baring assert that they have but 1401. in hand. It appears, however, that since April, 1849, and to the 19th February last, there have been remitted 135,986 reals to the firm of Montoya, Saenz, and Co., as the proceeds of the custom-houses of Santa Martha, and that when instructions are received, the sum will be handed over to Messrs. Baring. The New Grenada Assembly has authorised the emission of 2,889,260 rs. in Treasury-bills, bearing 6 per cent., to be offered in satisfaction of the over-due dividends on the foreign Active Debt, and to be received in part payment of import duties. The Foreign Securities are very quiet still. To morrow will be settling day. Mexican Bonds have realised 310,. Grenada 18, and Brazilian small 88. Portuguese Four per Cents. have b een mar k e d 346 an d Spanis Three per Cents. have touched 384. Russian Stock is firm at 109. Dutch Four per Cents. are 57* to f. The Railway Share Market looks exceedingly good again, and some of the old and favourite lines are rather higher. The traffic of the Aberdeen line is improving very steadily, the increase within the last three weeks being from 1,108/. to 1,470/., exclusive of the allowance tor the mails, which is estimated at 150/. per week, making 1,6204 for the week to the Ist instant. It is stated that a company has commenced working the copper lodes ,on the property of the Duke of Bedford, near Tavistock, known as Wheal Crebor. About thirty years ago the main lode pro duced, as far as worked, 27,490 tons of copper ors, realising 167,102/., end a profit of 35,000/. It is said that the deposits of ore found in Crebor Mine have been caused "by the happy combination at the same points of a lode, or cross course, or other intersection, and a stratum o f killas favcurable to the deposit of copper-ore in the lode traverse the same favourable stratum of killas, and are intersected by the same cross-courses as the main lode." It is to these parallel lodes that the attention of the present company is to be chiefly directed.
