"The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He 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 mobilla of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marke4 per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disowns, Man aeries, and Smythes."—Observe7. " 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 produced. Of 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 ether ladies who play conspicuous 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 nob'est and best of them all."—Morning Post.

A case which was investigated before Mr. INGaix at the Thames Police-court on Wednesday, affords a melancholy illustration of the condition of a vessel, in which master and crew appear to regard each other as enemies from the very commencement of their con nexion, and resolutely avail themselves of every op portunity of mutual annoyance. In such cases there are, generally faults on both sides. Trifling diffe rences will almost necessarily arise between a master and. crew hastily collected, and brought together for the first time, which a little forbearance and good temper on either side would speedily arrange, but which are fomented and aggravated by injudicious conduct, each party to the dispute endea vouring to thwart the other, until a state of affairs arises destructive of all discipline, highly injurious to the interests of the owners, and exceedingly dan gerous to the safety of the ship and cargo. The master is necessarily entrusted with extensive powers. He can, if he pleases, render the lives of the sailors miserable while sailing under his command ; and we fear that many petty tyrants irritate and provoke the - seamen for the mere purpose of showing their authority, while the latter are but too ready to retaliate. Although they cannot openly rebel without risking the serious consequences of a mutiny, they speedily discover the weak points of their com mander, and let slip no opportunity of " vexing the captain." In the present instance, fcur seamen, named PHILIP NEALE, JOHN HANNAGAN, CHARLES WlL zrAms, and JOHN WADLER, summoned Captain ALFRED PALMER, master of the ship North Star, for various balances of wages, amounting in the whole to 461. 10s., for services on a voyage from London to Mazatlan and back, and in the course of the inquiry the circumstances, so discre ditable to all parties concerned, were elicited. The captain resisted payment on the ground of very bad conduct on the part of the men; while they charged him with " great tyranny and harshness.'' One of the men (PHILIP NEILE) declared " that the captain and mate were always abusing the crew ;" and another (HAaNAGAN) deposed on oath that " at the commencement of the voyage the captain said he would make the ship a hell afloat"—a promise which seems to have been very completely fulfilhd—and that he had " refused to allow the ship's company an hour for their dinner." Oa the 20th November matters appear to have reached a point very nearly approaching to a mutiny. On that day the crew turned out before daylight to wash the deck ; at eight o'clock, A.M., the yards were squared, and the larboard watch went below to breakfast, and had scarcely got into the forecastle when they were called on deck to set sail. This was an order which should have been instantly obeyed. It might have been that the starboard watch then on duty could_have :performed the task without assist ance, that the time was selected for the express pur • pose of annoying the crew, but still it should have been promptly submitted to, even though the men might keenly feel the petty slight. In place ,9f pc) doing, however, they gate a great advantage to the captain by an. swering that " they would come up when they finished their breakfast." The captain seized the opportunity ; he at once ordered NEALE to be put in irons, and declared that he would stop six days' pay from leach of the others. This order, also, seems to have been resisted. NEALE ran away into the forecastle, and the crew prevented the mate from following l,im, Captain PALMER then brought out a brace of pistols and threatened to shoot one cf the men named Kim], if be would not go down and bring up the fugitive. Several of the men were then placed under arrest, and, to use the language of the seaman NEALE, " they all agreed to go into irons, and were immediately put in confinement and called mutinous rascals. They were stapled down to the deck, and continued in that state, suffering greatly, for two days, when they got quit of their irons." After such painful exhibitions of mutual ill feeling it is by no means surprising that the men were inclined to desert on their arrival at Mazatlan. It scarcely required the temptation of " easy access to California "to induce the seamen to leave the vessel where they bad been treated in such a manner. Five of the crew accordingly went off, and were absent from the 13th to the 21st of March, when they were arrested by the Mexican soldiery, in consequence of a reward of twenty-five dollars per head being offered for there, The captain then had them detained in prison until the ship was ready to sail under a lccal law, paying 51. 4s. Bd. police charges for each, so that on the whole the owners lost nearly 1501. by their conduct. On the investigation each party exhibited a most litigious spirit. The men took advantage of a clause in an Act of Parliament to refuse credit for an ad vance which they had actually received, while every ftrfeiture or penalty that could be enforced was rigo rously insisted on. It is to be regretted that these facts should only have been indirectly brought to light in a proceeding for a pecuniary demand. The whole case should be closely scrutinised, and the guilty parties, whosoever they might be, whether master or seamen, should receive punishment. For tunately the Act passed during the last session, and which will come into operation in the beginning of the year, will provide suitable remedies for all such transactions occurring after that time. We recommend to the attentive perusal of our readers the report of the proceedings of the Blackburn County Court, on Monday, which appears in another column. It was the - first Court that hal been held since the passing of the new Act, and the judge, Joule ADDISON, Esq., took the opportunity of delivering an admirable address on the subject, an address which gives the best, the most succinct, and at the same time comprehensive view of the nature of the new Act and its probable working, that has as yetbeen pre sented to the public. Like all persons engaged in the administration of a particular code of law, Mr. AD DISON iS, however, sometimes inclined to ignore some of the dangers of his own system, and to consider as defects in the old system of procedure things which, in truth, are defects in the new. We protest against his attempt to sneer down trial by jury, in that passage of his address in which he asks, "Way should not the parties, when they both desire it, have their cause tried by the enlightened mind of the learned judge at the a.sizes, instead of the chance medley of a jury." For ourselves, we must confess that in cases where the real merits of the cause only have to be decided we should prefer infinitely to have the de cision of twelve men of business, twelve men of the w0r1 , 3, taken by chance, if you will, from the jurors in attendance, to that of a judge learned only in the law, and whose mind is cramped and warped by the prejudices of his rank and of his profession. The probability is greatly in favour of the abstract justice of the decision of a jury in such cases, more espe cially when we recollect in bow many instances, of late, judges of the superior courts, unable to forget their old habits of advocacy, have become actually counsel for plaintiff or defendant, as the case might be, and have only been kept within bounds by the clear sightedness and strong sense of justice of the jury, who have refused to suffer themselves to be misled by the bigotted prejudice of the presiding judge. It is not every learned judge who possesses the rare judicial talent, the strict impartiality, the innate love of justice, and the unvaryingly sound judgment of Lord CAMPBELL. We should like to see the in tervention of a jury more frequently in County Court cases. Where a Court is presided over by such men as Mr. ADDISON or Mr. Sergeant DOWLING, all parties may feel themselves perfectly safe, but we know of County Courts in the neighbourhood of the metropolis which are neither more nor less than plaintiffs' courts; and such all County Courts will become, when they are presided over by en incompe tent judge. This evil, however, will be in a great measure remedied, whenever a regular County Court bar shall be organized, as the judge would not dare to act, under the surveillance of a bar, in a glaringly unjust or indecorous manner; we are, therefore, re joiced to find that Mr. ADDISON recommends the im mediate organization of a bar, and we hope that' all members of the County Court bar will act upon Mr. Sergeant DOWLING'S recommendation, and appear in Court robed, as they would in Westminster Hall. Ie order to maintain an efficient bar, it is necessary that Mr. ADDISON'S very judicious recommendation to " others to abstain from pleading" should be strictly attended to ; indeed, we consider it would be ad vis able that in all jury trials, and in all cases in which the matter in dispute involves either the exercies of a right or a point of law, or shall be above the value of 51., the bar should have pre-audience. It would be well that the practice of quasi appeal from the decision of one judge, which has hitherto existed upon the Blackburn circuit, should be compulsory on all circuits. "The judges of this circuit and the next," says Mr. ADDI SON, " have conferred together upon cases reserved for consideration." It would make the system complete if, the Blackburn custom having been made compul sory, one of the judges from each conference should at tend in London once a year, to meet his fellow-judges, for the purpose of digesting these decisions and sub mitting the digest to the consideration of any of the judges of superior courts, on receiving whose sanction the digest should be considered as of binding autho rity in any County Court in the kingdom. By this means we should secure an uniform method of proce dure in these courts—a thing much to be desired. Mr. ADDISON has conferred a great obligation on all the friends of a cheap and speedy administration of justice by the delivery of this address, and we trust that the judges in the other County Courts will follow his excellent example of taking a careful note of every case, and of well weighing every judgment. It is the only method by which they can secure respect to themselves or confidence in their decisions. DEATH OF B•RONESS ROTHSCIIILD.—We announce, with much regret the death of Baroness Rothschild, who expired yesterday afternoon at Gunnersbury-park, her seat, near Ealing. We are informed the Baroness was seized with determination of blood to the head on Sunday, the 25th ult., and the syaiptoms, then alarming, continued to increase, when at halt-past twelve yesterday she expired, surrounded by nearly the whole of her family. Baron Lionel Roths child, who was on the continent when the Baroness was taken ill, on the receipt of the news instantly returned, and had the gratification of reaching home before his mother's death. Sir Anthony Rothschild, Baron Nathaniel, and Mrs. Fitzroy, wife of the Right lion. H. Fitzroy, M.P., were also present at her dissolution. Baron Meyer Rothschild did not reach London from the Continent until yesterday afternoon, and was deeply affected to learn that his mother was no more. The deceased Baroness, who was in her 68th year, was widow of the celebrated capitalist and third daughter of Mr. L. B. Cohen. By the Baron, who died in 1836, she leaves issue four sons and two daughters—Baron Lionel, Si r A n th ony , Baron Nathaniel, and BAron Meyer, Baroness Anslera and Mrs. Fitzroy. . DEATH OF A VETERAN.—PLYMOUTH, T HURSDAY. —Colonel William Elphinstone Holloway, C. 1.1 ,commanding officer of Royal Engineers, expired at his , fficial residenc e i n the Citadel yesterday afternoon at five o'clock, after a pro tracted illness, the severity of which was much increased by the wounds he had received in the service of his country.

TOE LIVERPOOL CAR STIIIKE.—LIVERPO"L,TIIIIRS DAY.— Owing to a temporary arrangeme!,t w th the Town Council, the hackney -coach proprietors commenced running to-day. It is expected that the Council will revise their scale of rates. . . THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have duly received the Paris journals of •yes terday. They are principally occupied with the discussion of three subjects of engrossing importance—the second visit of the PRESIDENT t 9 the departments— the opinion expressed by the Councils-General throughout the provinces as to the revision of the Constitution—and the recent funeral of the ex-King LOWS PHILIPPE. As to the progress of the PRINCE towards Cher bourg (where he is to remain three days instead of two, as originally intended) everything " goes off" in his favour admirably, and sometimes with a degree of enthusiasm. At Nanterre, the first place passed through after leaving the capital, he was greeted by the National Guards and population. At Saint Germain the garrison was under arms, and a regiment of dragoons was passed in review by the PRESIDENT. The cries raised were loud and cordial, " Vire Napoleon," " Vive le President." At Triel the country , folks were collected together in large numbers, and received the First Magistrate favourably. Meulon was reached at midday, and after passing through numerous villages decorated in his honour with triumphal arches, Louts NAPOLEON stopped to take luncheon at a hamlet called Juzieres-la-ville, in the country residence of M. BAROCHE, the Minister of the Interior. Here the whole of the priests from the neighbouring parishes came along the road with the crucifixes and the banners of the Church displayed to meet the PRESIDENT. He stopped to converse for some time with the parish priests, by whom he ap pPared to be most enthusiastically received. Three parish priests, the sub-prefect of Mantes, the Mayors of Meulan and the neighbouring communes, and the officers of the National Guard were present at break &st. Toe honours of her house were done by Madame BAROCRE, lady of the Minister. The PRESIDENT re mained only 17 minutes at table, and left exactly at two o'clock for Evreux. This latter place was reached, as we were enabled to announce briefly yesterday, at sir. o'clock on Tuesday evening. Before proceeding further in our account, it may be observed that from Meulan to Mantes the road was lined with the national guard of the surrounding country (the largest number of which came from Limay), and that from St. Germain to Evreux the only cries heard were those of " Vive le Presiden‘," " Vive Napoleon." Having been received at Evreux - on his arrival with the customary ceremonies, the Provisional Mayor stepped forward to the door of the carriage, and pro nounced the following address :-- "Monsieur le President,—The administration and the municipal council of Evreux are happy to offer you the expres.lon of the sentiments of reep....ct and gratitude with which their fellow-citizens aro animated towards your person. In givirg you the immense majority of their votes, our population had formed a correct opinion cf the chief from villein they asked the restoration of order and of public confidence. " You have realised our hopes, and we are sure that you will continue to march in the path which will en sure the prosperity of France. " On our side, we can give you the assurance that our fellow-citizens, who have always proved their zeal in defending the cause of order, would again be pro pared to offer you, if necessary, their co-operation, as all good clams, all true friends of their country, ought to de. "Reckon consequently on us, Prince, as we count on you. Vive le President! Viva Napoleon!" The PRESIDENT made the following reply Monsieur le Maire,—l am much moved by your words, and by the assurances which you give me. They do not earprise me, for I am aware of the excellent spirit which animates the population of this department. Ido not forget that at my election I rest ived here an im unnse majority of votes. I am happy t) witness the pv:sent manifestation, and I thank you for it." Shortly afterwards the cortege proceeded amidst loud acclamations towards the hotel of the Prefecture, the carriages passing under triumphal arches and through a dense multitude. In the carriage with the PRESIDENT were M. BAROCLIE, the Minister of the Interior, and M. GTJTOT, the Prefect of the Eure. In the second carriage were GeLeral DE LA HITTE, Admiral Ro- MAIN•DESFOSSES, .and 111. ROUIIER, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Marine, and Justice. In the other carriages were M. NIEUWERRERK, M. MOQUART, Dr. CONNEAU, Commandant FLEURY, and the officers of the PRESIDENT'S household. As soon as the PRESIDENT arrived at the Prefec ture be received the authorities. When the clergy came forward, M. OLIVIER, the Bishop of Evreux, addressed him as folios s : " Monsieur le President,—The mission of religion is not only to turn men towards the blessings of eternity, hut also to teach them how to properly use the blessings given on earth. It applauds all that promises hero be low a tranquil and happy life—it calls down un prudent Governments new grace and new illuminations ; it takes interest in the conscience of nations—in the suc cess of great undertakings—in the maintenance of order end peace ; it preaches up moderation in those in power —charity in those who aro at the head of it—labour in the working-classes—resignation amongst the poor— and coLcord in all ranks of society. It is the glory of your Government, Monsieur—it is y our personal glory—to have placed all these interests in honour; and in consequence France, in offering you this homage as to the guardian of her repose, only per forms an act of gratitude, of which I am happy to be the interpreter, in the name of the clergy end of the Catho lic believers of this fine department." The PRESIDENT made the following reply : " I am deeply_ touched with the manner in which you regard my mission in this world, and in which you consider my acts and my conduct since I have been called to the office of President of the Republic by the votes of the nation. " My object in these journeys is to get acquainted with the populations, tc place myself in direct commu nication with their real organs, and to learn thoroughly their wishes and their interests. . . . " Religion and family tics are, with authority and order, the bases of all durable society, the constant , object of my efforts is to Consolidate these essential elements Qf the happiness and prosperity of the country. " I am happy at meeting with the co-operation of all the eminent men in the country, and with yours in par ticular; and I thank you for the assurances which you give me in the name of your clergy, whose excellent sentiments I fully appreciate." Other addresses, such as one from the Rector of the Academy, were presentzd and responded to, and the reception having lasted some time, a grand dinner was offered by the PRESIDENT to the authorities and principal inhabitants. Amongst the guests were the Duke DR BROGLIE, M. DE VATIMESNIL, and N. LEFEVRE•DURUFLE ' all representatives of the people. The PRESIDENT did not remain long at table, feeling somewhat indisposed. At ten o'clock a splendid display of fireworks took place, and the public build ings were illuminated. The PRESIDENT was not well enough to attend the ball given afterwards at the Prefecture. As to the opinion of the Councils-General in refer ence to the revision of the Constitution, one fourth of them have already declared in favour f, and but few against, the proposition. Upon this subject the Presse has the following remarkable article : " We do not deny that the Constitution may be im- proved. That it ought necessarily to be revised is what we have not to prejudge, and what the Legislative As sembly will have to decide in the third year of its ex istence by three successive deliberations, at a month's distance from each other, by three-fourths of the majority of votes. But what is certain is that all parties may de sire that revision, and that without being agreed as to the opportuneness, may at once admit its necessity. The Bonapartists desire it, because they hope for an empire under the name of a presidentship for ten years or for life. The Conservatives desire it, because they want two chambers. The Legitimists desire it, because they desire universal suffrage in two degrees. The Republicans de sire it, because they tee in the institution of the presi dentship at the summit of the Government a phantom of royalty, a peril for democracy, an element of conflict, a temptation to usurpation. We shall soon know if the country also desires it, and, in that case, we de clare that it is not we who will throw any obstacle in its way, for, after all, we are dependent on the sovereignty of the people. It may, therefore, be comprehended, that whilst energetically blaming ap peals to illegality, we can encourage and accept appeals to public opinion. Yea, let France reflect and judge by all the intelligences and all the consciences! She is sove reign, and far from contesting her right, we will defend it alwrys against those who should d e s ire t o usur p or destroy it. We will beware of imprisoning that sove reignty in absolute forms, in rigorous definitions of at tributions. We admit the right of the councils-general, councils of arrondissement, and municipal councils to express their opinions. Wherever there is a mandate given there is an authority. Wherever a voice is rai:ed in the most humble commune of France, the Govern ment ought to have an ear to listen, and a conscience to judge. It is by the religious respect for opinion that free governments are founded, and that nations, con fidieg in the efficiency of moral force, break with con tempt arms and bru.al force. Let the couecilte general, therefore, express themselves freely and sincerely. We d o not ask them far anything eke, for our part. If they desire th e rev i s i on o f t h e C onst i tut i on , l e t t L ern sa y so . of the ed t h publici their patriotic. w h i e n s d .0 e s nwl a y s n e v,i r .ne i o v u ict s on n e jt l uh e re m em e t n hn a t e em o r f e le a ye p The Legislati ve A ssem bl y w i l l cons id er t h e expre:s i on :torte:billet aifokrnaenokaf mistake as to their mission, acd ray to themselves that they have not to reply to an appeal to illegality, but to an appeal to opinion." • Marshal SoULT, the Due de Dalmatia ' is prevented from taking part in the labour s o f the council general of his department, the Tarn, being confined in his chateau of Soultberg by severe indisposition. As to the demise and funeral of Louis PiiiLlPrE, it is stated by the Assemblee Arationale, that M. GUIZOT, M. DUCHATEL, and M. DumoN, Ministers of the ex-KING on the breaking out of the revolution, I ave left Paris for Claremont. We read in the Pays : •• N. 'niers will Hoc leave Baden before tl.e (i d cf Sep.(mber. The celebrated representative has need of repc se. We be!ieTe it is not true, as stated, that the Duchess d'Orleana has addressed letters to M. Thiers on the occasion of the death of Louis Philippe. It is not intended, in fact, at this moment to assemble a political council at Claremont. The presence of M. Thiers at Claremont would then be without object, and it has not been demanded. His sentiments of personal devoted ness to the Orleans family are well known, but Le be lieves that at present nothing is possible in France ex cept the presidency of the Prince Louis Napoleon, and he is decided to give to his Government the most ener getic and wost constant support. On his farewell visit to the Psesident of the Republic before leaving Paris, M. Thiers stated to him that such was his deter mination, and he has so expressed himself in his con versations at Baden." The following incident has been recounted in some of the newspapers, as showing the disposition of the army just now Several soldiers of a battalion of artillery, which arrived at Nantes a few days ago, on the way to St. Male, created considerable sensation by parading through the town and the race-course, bawling revo lutionary songs, and headed by another artillery man carrying a drawn sword. On the race course they continued to vociferate, and they drank to excess. Several notorious Socialists fraternised' with them, and excited them to abandon their duty. The next day General GERARD passed the battalion in review, and gave a severe lecture to the men who had violated their duty. His speech appeared to produce an excellent effect. Oa his d , wand, the man who had carried the drawn sword, left the ranks, and was taken into custody by the gendarmes. The soldiers of the 1 lth regiment and of the 9th Hussars, in gar risen at Nantes, warmly disavowed all sympathy with the artillerymen." An interesting letter from Cherbourg, in the Ordre, says :- 66 Ape, tweets, which were paid eight days ego 200 c. for a week, are let at this moment for 50f. and 60r. a day. Half at least of the strangers are lodged in the neigh bouring villages. If this avalanche of visitors continues, a certain number will be obliged to bivouac, and make up for the pleteure of three days' curiosity by three nights in the open air. A letter of Lord Palmerston announces officially to the Government that Vice-Admi ral Cochrane. accompanied by forty officers or turietien• aries of the Royal Navy, will visit Cherbourg. A pro motion in the order cf the Legion of Honour Liss been especially prepared for the rqusdron.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have been received. On that day the elections had commenced, and from the large numbers hastening to the poll and the excitement that prevailed, the city had assumed an unusually animated appearance. After the lapse of four or five days it was expected that the result of the elections throughout Spain would be known. The Cadiz pagers announce that the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER Will visit that place at the commencement of September. A private letter from Seville states that her Royal Highness is in the fa mily way ; the latter statement, however, had not received confirmation. Intelligence of the death of the ex-King Lours Pruurra arrived at Madrid on the 30th ult., and caused great sorrow to the QUEEN and KING. It was to be transmitted by telegraph to the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSJEE in Andalusia. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 31.—The transanctions on the Bourse were extremely animated.

The Anzeiger Zeitung contains an extraordinary for whothe murder e c r o n e - f account of the confession of JOHANNAS STAUFF, the mt a sgG t t tprrhoara 9 b n:so i l:en s wilnmlTyth u ezei, n ncni h hchtn e a ofh p joawe p nrue y dns murderer of the Countess Gov:a.m. It cannot be e le;drmfale;acagsmlntaa,rvdaeetd whentiv 1 h ) i, that yt innocence.t ;imfihrees first in f c 'l ttd:b o ' er h s f t e n fi eC°: n a tot e t f laudemegnncetattoreiej against be came spiritless and dejected, and finally, overcome by the harassing accusations of his conscience, he was con strained to discharge his burdened mind, and declare his guilt. He has made a full and detailed confession of barbarities attendant on the murder of his noble mistress. The act was not premeditated : he entered her apartment—saw her writing-table standing open —knew that it contained her jewellery—forced the drawers—seized the bracelets, brooches, and pearls, and was putting them into his pocket when the Countess suddenly entered. She hurried up to him, and, fearing lest she should call for help, he rushed upon her and seised her by the throat. She struggled violently, and he was once even obliged to let go his hold ; but be again forcibly pressed his hands upon her throat, and in less than ten minutes she closed her eyes, her hands fell powerless, and her coun tenance assumed a livid hue. He saw that she was dead. He let the body fall—rushed out of the room —locked the door both of that room and the outer apartment, and hurried to a public-house, where he drank off a quantity of wine. He then returned to the castle. The Count came home to dinner at half past six, and, after dressing, went to call the Countess. Not receiving an answer, he concluded that she was riot at home. While waiting at table, STAUFF resolved that every trace of his crime should be obliterated. As soon as the Count was gone out, at about eight o'clock, STAUFF returned to the Countess's apartments. He found the body still warm, and the limbs pliant. He placed her in her chair at the writing-table, her elbow resting upon the open desk, and supporting her head, her whole body being bent over the desk, as it she were asleep ; he then placed shavings, paper, &c., upon the desk and table, and set fire to them close before her face ; next he set fire to a divan at the other end of the room, locked the doors of both the inner and outer apartments, and threw away the keys. He then want to his own room, when he lighted a fire, in the m iddle of which he placed the casket containing the jewels—but he could not get the fire to burn. STAUFF deeply lamented all the unjust and injurious hints which he had thrown out relative to the Count, and which at one time made him to be suspected of being the murderer of his own wife. STAUFF said he denied his guilt in the first instance, in the hope that then sen tence of not guilty would be passed; but that the anguish of his soul was intolerable; 10,000 lives would he give, if he had them, that that deed of horror alight be undone. It appears that a devotional book, given him by the judge who condemned him, which contained the ..-_:cripture promise that there is forgiveness with GOD, even for the chief of sinneri, if he will turn to Him with true contrition of heart, acknowledging and confessing his sins, impelled STAUFF to make the confession. A new constitution for the kingdom of Wurtem berg has been prepared, comprising 160 articles, and is said to be very liberal in character. SCHLESWIG-HOLST EIN. A letter from Frankfort of the 3d, in the Cologne Gazate, states that Denmark has already called upon the restricted German .A.ECEnbly to ratify the treaty of peace.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy. Americans 71d. and under were rather easier, but in other descriptions there was no alteration. Sales about 6,000 bales.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done, with prices generally advancing. The aggregate business transacted this week in the markets for produce has been very considerable, and several articles have been in iiiereased favour, and have commanded higher prices. Sugar attracts most atten tion, but Coffee likewise is held for fuller rates. Tallow has risen a little. The home make is good, but will not exceed that of the autumn of 1849. The Russians are reported to be settling last year's contracts at a consi derable loss. Wool goes off briskly still at the auctions. Indigo is steady in the absence of any very definite ac counts from Indis, of the growing crops. The following report upon the Coffee trade at Rio de :Janeiro, for warded thence, is to the latest date in July:— The export of the crop of 1849 has been as follows - , as compared with the crop of 1848: Europe.

We also feel an equal confidence in the estimates we have given of the probable r 4 suit of the crop cf 1850. The fallowing is an abstract of a return showing the declared value of the exports of British produce and ma nufactures collectively to the colonies and dependencies of tha British Crown, according to their geographical distribution, in the year 1849: To the Channel Islands and Heligoland ... £634,482 Gibraltar and Malta ... . . .. 921,225 loLian Islands... 165,805 Possessions on the west coast of Africa ... 233,848 Islands in the Central Atlantic (St. Helena and Ascension) ... . ... 23,312 Cape of Good Hope 520,626 Mauritius ... 234,022 Adt n ... 14,564 Territories in India (comprehending Conti nentil India, Singapore, and Ceylon) ... 6,803,215 Ho t g-Kong . . ... 651,969 Aurtralian colonies (including New Zeidand) 2,080 364 North American colonies ... 2.279,193 West India colonies, insular and continen tal, including Honduras ... 2,025,019 Falkland blonds 6,173 Aggregate declared value of British produce and manufactures exported to British colo nies and dependencies in 1849 ... . £16,594,087 The Trade and Navigation returns of the Unitt-d King dom hav4 b(-en completed for the mouth and live months ending the sth of August.

At Amsterdam, on the 4th instant, Dutch Stock was less firm, the Twc-and-a-Ha'f per Cents. being 57. Spanish Bonds were still in demand. In the Frankfort Bourse on the 3d instant., Austrian Metallics were quoted 818 -I, and Spanish Threes 321 to 34. VA) stectes of the National Bank of Belgium have been approved, and the establishment will speedily commence operations.

Dutch Four per Cents have been 898 to 901. The Railway Share Market is buoyant, and the trans actions have been numerous, fuller prices being obtained for a few lines, though generally the previous rates are current. There are great hopes of steady improvement, and a well-known broker remarks that— " Altcgether, considering the increased safety attach ing to railway inveszmrrits, the economy which may be expected to result from the growing experience of rail way working, and the saving likely to be effected by the gradual reduction of the rate of interest on de bentures, taking into consideration, likewise, the ordinary increase of traffic which must natu rally follow from the extension of population and commerce, and the extra traffic exposition of 1851, we are inclined to believe that, as regards the majority of railway?, the worst is known, if not passed; and from the very low prices at which shares a: e now ruling, that purchases judiciously made at the present time are likely to be productive of benefit. To ensure this re sult, however, it is essential that such lines only are re• lected in which, from the actual or approaching close of capital account, confidence is not likely to be again dis turbed, and in which acme favourable feature either of revenue or capital is descernible."

Of course the views of Sir Charles Wood in this important matter will have to be sub mitted to the consideration of his colleagues, most of whom it is known coincide with him in opinion that these impost!, so obnoxious and injurious to trade, ought immediately to be erased from the statute-book. AN INCIDENT CONNECTED WITH THE ORION.— The late Captain 11.1‘..Neil, who, with his lady and two daughters were among tLe unfortunate sufferers, lately caused a handsome mausoleum to be erected upon a pro minent rock in the 151...nd of Gigha, of which be was the proprietor. He wished it to be of sufficient size to entomb six, but it was reported by the contractor that owing to the necessary Lmit.i.d site, it would contain no more than four, and his suggestion was accordingly adopted. The struc ture had been just completed when the melancholy catas trophe referred to occurred, and in that receptacle of the dead are deposited the remains of the gallant captain and the three members of his hapless family who perished with him. —Glasgow Herald.
