Afterwards came the melancholy fruits of disappointment, the sullenly extorted submission of citizens, whose re cognition of the monarchical deceit very speedily changed their love into hatred, causing them to cherish their enthusiasm henceforth in secret, until the time which should transform them into the aven gers of their dead and vanquished compatriots. Within a brief interval from the present moment, the Royal Master of Panama. has capped the climax of his treacheries by the concessions made by him on the occasion of his memorable interview with the Autocrat of all the Russia& Yielding to the fatal fascination of that "powerful and wily potentate, FREDERICK WILLIAM has allowed himself to be bound hand and foot, body and soul, by the trammels of Muscovite predominance. It has been recorded that during this meeting of the Sovereigns, the CZAR passed his arm affectionately round the burly form of the descen dant of the Great FREDERICK, apostrophizing him as his "dear Fanz," and while so doing metamor phosing his cousin into his vassal, the recipient of his friendship into the victim of his authority. In testimony of the completeness of the transformation it is, in truth, but necessary to point to that dastardly edict published by order of FREDERICK WILLIAM, immediately on his return to his capital, by virtue of which the old provincial diets of Prussia were restored in their full integrity, precisely as they were prior to the movement of 1848—a proceeding, be it observed, which effectually destroys the last vestige of the paltry and insufficient boon obtained of late years in lieu of the promised and now indefinitely postponed constitution. Such is the instant result of the recent meeting between the Prussian Kiao and the Russian EM PEROR. Germany may now, therefore, be regarded as little less than a feof of the already gigantic domi nions of the AUTOCRAT. The vision of emancipation bas again faded away from the reveries of the children of Rhineland under the sinister influence of that house of Romanoff, whose power has for the last cen tury and a half proved so prejudicial to the liberties of the European continent. While the ambition of the CZAR has only grown with the growth of his empire, and strengthened with the strength of his government, the self-respect of the western poten tates has dwindled down to absolute nothingness. Poland fell first—Poland, the noblest and the most unfortunate of all the victims of the Mus covite lust of territorial aggrandisement. Singe then the Danubian provinces have been subjugated almost imperceptibly under an apparently generous guise of protection. Austria in like manner has been, little by little, drawn into the vortex of this maelstrom of despotic influences until she has become the ready handmaid of Russian tyranny, prepared at any mo ment to obey the slightest injunction coming to her from the Imperial Council chambers of St. Peters burgh. During the autumn of 1849 we witnessed the consummation of this lamentable extension of sway on the part of the AUTOCRAT over the Viennese Government, in the bloody successes achieved by PA SKEWITCH over the heroic but deceived Hun garians. Gratitude, among other reasons, may now be thrust upon the attention of the KAISER as a re minder of the subserviency due by him to his Impe. rial Lord paramount, the Emperor NICHOLAS. Hav ing accomplished so much in the way of reducing contemporary sovereigns to a state little less ignominious than that of actual vassalage, the CZAR at length appears to have resolved that the King of PRUSSIA should be another among the crowned traitors to be harnessed to his car during such time as it pleased him to assume the aspect of a Sesostris. A trifling interval has proved amply sufficient for the development of his schemes in this particular, FREDERICK WILLIAM being already added to the list of the royal victims of his most daring and malign fascination. Whether NICHOLAS has been guided in these proceedings by the dictates of sound judgment a brief lapse of time will be alone required to demon strate. Before another " lustre" can be added to the records of Europe, there will be proof such as even the blind may read and the deaf may hear, proof of the wisdom or of the folly of these evidences of imperial audacity. History will then narrate the verification of that famous prophecy of the greatest man of modern times, that prophecy which he uttered with Sybilline solemnity from his exile at St. Helena, that before fifty years had elapsed Europe would either be Cossack or Republican. The AUTOCRAT is already impelling the antagonistic power to extremities, infuriating the nations of the west with the rigour of his policy, the insolence of his aggressions, the haughty assumption in every act of a divine right to the universal governance of Christendom. It would be well, perhaps, for him to remember the fate which has invariably befallen the contriver of every instrument of torture or destruc tion, from the artist who manufactured the brazen ball in which he was himself roasted to death by order of PEALARIS, to the physician who suggested the guillotine, by which he himself was decapitated by the command of the first Revolutionists. Upon the head of NICHOLAS or of his successor must in like manner descend the accumulated vengeance of many oppressed and outraged generations : and the sub servient princes of the continent will have to thank their own infamous pusillanimity alone if, on tha occasion, the reign of democracy be unhappily inau• gurated by a terrible and avenging saturnalia. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received such of the Paris journals as were published yesterday; but in consequence of the festival of Whitsuntide being observed as a close holiday, the majority of the journals did not appear. Among those, however, which were published is the Pays, which contains a very important article on the present state of affairs, from the pen of M. DB LA-. MARTINE. It commences thus : " The word of Providence in 1848 was the Republic! Is the nation now, on account of partial agitations, and some few temporary difficulties, to tefuse or accept that that word? Even supposing that the majority of French men were not republican by inclination on the evening of February 24, on the morrow they could no t b u t b e so from reflection. I w i ll endeavour t o ma k e myse lf understood. A nation is a man, or a nation is a man multiplied by ten, twenty, or thirty milli ons o f indivi duals. It follows that a nation is composed of the same elements as a man. Nod, every man is endowed by God with a faculty which is called the instinct of self-preservation. It is this c onservat i ve instinct in man which makes him ever watchful to foresee, avoid, or resist, whatever in the world around him may threaten his existence, and mak e hi m d efend his life with all the means at his disposal. Now, a whole nation is never blind, mad, or bent on self-destruction. It wishes to live in order, peace, and security. Such is its predominant instinct, and thi s i nst i nct becomes its wisdom and its policy, when, like F rance , i t h as reached a high degree of intelligence, foresight, experience and organization. Well, carry out this train of reasoning, and ask—What would become of France, if she were now, through disgust, fickleness, or childish impatience, to abandon the Republic? Let us examine the nature of the dangers into which she would fall. If France had only one Republic and one Monarchy b e f ore h er, I can easily conceive that she might deliberat e , an d say in turn, ' Monarchy humiliates me, I will choose the Re public!' and then. ar a schthya. consequently,B But the sit France c i e s r ff ea I am tired o f the Republic, and will foresight to meet th e ci iffi culty. " qf t r a uo k i mr e e sb r e e ai f nl u l gg her eor in s m M; p M. DE LAMARTIME then proceeds to set forth the antagonism of the various parties, which he accom plishes in a lively and not unamusing manner. He says : " There is not only the Republic on one aide and Monarchy on the other, bat there are on one side two or three detestable anarchies, and on the other three or four feeble monarchies. These, monarchies and anarchies would soon be fighting over the wreck of France, if she did not hold firmly on to an honest, mo derate, civilized, and rational Republic, into which we entered with our National Assembly, named by ourselves to save us from ruin and give us a government. Sup pose some one should suddenly inform us that ` France is tired of the moderate Republic, in which she was just beginning to live and breathe. She has proclaimed the monarchy. Vive le Roi What king ? ' would exclaim all the Legitimatists. `lsit he whom we re gard as the only, legitimate possessor of the crown? the sacred and hereditary representative of an inalienable and divine right, which God himself in fused into the blood of a single family? If it is not he, we acknowledge him not. As to bowing down to any bastard monarchy or pitiful regency, set up by the trick sters of July, we would rather prefer civil war!' Sup pose, on the contrary, we are suddenly told that the monarchy is proclaimed in the person of the exile of 1830, the legitimate heir to the rights and misfortunes of his race—in short, Henry V., the Legitimatists would shout, Vive le Roil' And what king?' would exclaim the partisans of the monarchy of July. Is it the son of the Duke of Orleans? the widow's son? She grandson of Louis Philippe? If it is he, well and good. That is the restoration we want; he shall reign, and we will govern, and share amongst us power, place, and favour. But if it is not he, if it is the king of the past, the king of our enemies, the king of the church and defunct feudalism, the king whose name would evoke round the throne all the phantoms of the middle ages, that were driven away by the French revolution, may destruction seize the posthumous king; we will none of him. We prefer the Republic to humiliation under a king who is not of our making. No, no; anyt hi ng rat h er than that, even civil war!' Now for a last supposition, which would be an odious accusation if it were anything more than a pure hypothesis; suppose, I say, that we are told all of a sadden, The monarchy is restored; Viva I'Empereur What Emperor?' would cry at once Legitimatists, Orleanists, and. Republicans. 'ls it the Emperor of the 18th Brumaire, of Marengo, or Aus terlitz? the overthrower of Republics, the distributor of crowns ? Oh, then perhaps we shall once more bow down to a man to enjoy the glory of seeing all Europe bow down to us. But is it a relative, a nephew, a des cendant of the great warrior? Is it an exile recalled to the soil of tho Republic ? If so, let us be stirring ; let us join the Orleanists, the Legitimatists, the Republicans, the Liberals of every shade; do not let us suffer a nation to be confiscated and ten revolutions turned into a jest. No, no; better have ten civil wars I' " The writer then draws his conclusion in the follow ing manner : " It is the good fortune of the Republic to have a va riety of enemies. If it had only one, it might fall; but it has five or six, that all detest each other more than any one of them detests the Republic. The number of its enemies brings nifty. The Republic is the asylum and neutral ground of all parties. There is not one which does not say to the other—' I prefer my own principles to the Republic, but I prefer the Republic to you.' " The Bulletin de Paris says :—" M. THIERS has returned from Paris to London full of admiration for the wonders at the Exhibition, of which, he says, none of the writers in the French journals have suc ceeded in giving anything like an adequate idea of its grandeur and magnificence. He spent nine days there, amongst the most eminent manufacturers and professional men, who, pleased to meet with so supe rior an intellect, gladly gave him every explanation. M. TRIERS asserts that there can be no dispute as to the high position France h o ld s at the Exhibition, es pecially in her silk manufactures. He was struck with the fact that France is pre-eminent in all the articles of luxury, which none but the wealthiest can buy ; whereas England excels in the productions usually consumed by th e m id dle and poorer classes. Thus democratic Franc e works for the rich, and aris tocratic England works for the poor. Since his re turn, M. LITERS has frequently expressed to his friends his admiration o f th e Exhibition, and he expa tiates on the importance of this great page of indus trial history as a means o f s h ow i ng the progress of civilization, and giving it a fresh impulse."

These decrees were communicated to the Chamber of Deputies in the sitting of the 3d inst. The Chamber on that day validated 150 elections. In the Senate Count DE LUCENA asked with reference to certain changes in commands in the army recently made by the Go vernment, if it were the intention of the Ministers to present a Bill to regulate promotions. The Minister of Foreign Affairs said that the Minister of War would give an answer on a future day. iADIOID BOLSA, JUNE 4.—Three per Cents., 36 9-1 G; Five per Cents., 161.

The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Gotha, which mentions that the States, on the 4th inst., came to a vote on the subject of returning to the Ger manic Diet. The vote, as was expected, terminated affirmatively.

Theliio~gof Paussi4 has just named the Grand Dukes Nicaor,®s and ItIICIIAEL, sons of the Emperor Of RUSSIA, col onels of two Prussian regiments.

Gen emen to serve on the Property and Income-tax Committee, to which we have recently directed the public attention, would at first sight appear utterly unaccountable. On other occasions, and on subjects of far less importance, they are willing to undertake the performance of very arduous duties. It is not from the labour, then, that they shrink. They would cheerfully undergo greater toil for the advantage of the parties of which they are members, or—for we are anxious to render justice to all men— for the benefit of their common country. Neither can it be from any undue diffidence is their own powers, or fear that the subject -matter about to be investigated!is of so abstruse and difficult a character that it would be far beyond their abilities to discover a fitting solution to the problem. Gentlemen who aspire to represent considerable bodies of their fellow subjects are seldom afflicted with such excessive mo desty. The leaders especially, men who have partici pated in the sweets of office, who have filled the situation of Cabinet Ministers, and who again contemplate the possibility of being called upon to serve their SOVE REIGN, are not so greatly the victims of mauvaise horde as to allow us to seek for reasons for their re fusal in that direction. Is it possible that the Lord of Netherby should have any lurking fears of being incapable of making a calculation which, not only any actuary or ac countant, but even any merchant's clerk in the metro polis would consider himself disgraced and unfitted for his position if he could not accomplish with the utmost ease in a few hours ? Would the Right Hon. Gentleman whom Sir CHARLES WOOD, with that peculiar grace which he so eminently possesses, de signated as the "Nestor of Finance in that House, ; exclaim with horror, "Dams non &dipus sum," on receiving a fiscal proposition of the utmost simplicity ? No ! The mere supposition appears too absurd, and the smile which it excites affords a more powerful and conclusive argument than could be afforded by the most elaborate reasoning or brilliant argument. The matter, however, can be explained on other and very different grounds. Truth and justice, equity and good conscience, are totally opposed to the existing system ; but on the other side are " the tra ditions of office," and the personal and party predileo fions of those who may be constituted judges on the occasion. It is not every one who could exhibit the philosophy of our excellent CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, or the total disregard of those principles that had weight in a British House of Commons even in the palmy days of borough mongering, when obe dient constituencies returned the nominees of the patrons without any appearance of insurrection or insubordination, and Honourable Gentlemen, who " represented their own pockets," unhesitatingly sold their country, and expressed their intense gratifica tion at having " a country to sell." They could not, at least, be openly despised or disregarded ; there should be some plausible reasons assigned for the decision, whatever it might be. We cannot suppose that the House has degenerated in these par ticulars since the additional infusion of the democratic element at the time of the Reform Act, or that the enunciation of " a conclusion" would have greater weight at the present day, than in the " good old times" of Tory supremacy, and spurious popular re presentation. The wishes and the judgment of the Right Hon. and Hon. Gentlemen are, therefore, diametrically opposed. They still desire to place as large a pro portion of the public burdens as can possibly be tolerated on the shoulders of those who do not belong to the privileged classes, who cannot command majorities in either branch of the Legisla ture. The charge, however, cannot be annihilated. The public expenditure must be provided for. What ever is taken from one must be transferred to an other, and the territorial aristocracy, in relieving those who earn their daily bread by their intellectual or physical labour, can only do so at the expense of the owners of accumulated and realized property, of which they themselves constitute no inconsiderable proportion. They shrink, however, from giving their sanction to the continuance of a grossly inequitable system. it is a very different matter voting silently against any particular alteration which may be declared " not to be the best Viet could be devised," and to deliberately, and solemnly, after full inquiry, render themselves responsible for the continuance of a sys tem that has excited the intense disgust and indignation of the community, and which, if retained without modification, may pro duce results the magnitude of which it is impossible to calculate. Hence they take advan tage of the loophole afforded by the laxity of the standing orders. They cannot be compelled to serve on public Committees; and, as they feel that their prejudices and interests must be opposed to their convictions, and that their decisions, if honestly given, must be opposed to the former, they are anxious, at any cost, and under any circumstances, to avoid the unpleasing duty. These evasions, however, ca nnot h be t o l erated. We confess that, after what aa already occurred, we do not lo o k f orwar d without som e app r ehension ' as to the results, so far as the report is concerned. We, however, pl a c e im plicit confidence in th e good sense and determination of the . c ommunity that they will corr ec t any erro neous opin!ons that may be promulgated by the Se le ct Committee, the nomination of which has been surrendered to our thrice illustrious Minister of Finance degenerated into the of the liberal Prince and for the oaths of ~,dF e n a rE DF E a n: l. 7 0 1; ? t l h L e Ll E A m M pe h r a o s r Nic r , : dear Alas ! for 1 Sovereign—promise s as specious as solemnly y Vhen the the promises v a i s ola scs te le d m . the constitutions as they have they have provedbeiellnusfloargyr,anoatityhs revolution of February appeared to threaten th e sub versionhout g . of royalty throug the Continent, the Ki n his real sentiment s of Pu u s sr a could so far d isg u i se as to bind th e Germanic tricolor upon his helmet, and so bedi zene d t ravers e the streets of his capital, the C y n osure towards which the popular enthusiasm was directed in th a t grand political masquerade.

Bolin I DEPARTURE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE HENRY OF THE NETHERLANDs.—Ye•terday, his Royal Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlands, accompanied by Chevalier Van Rappard, Chevalier Casembroot, and Captain May, R.N., and suite, after a sojourn of seven weeks, left Mivart's Hotel for Blackwall, to embark on board a Dutch steamer of war, on his return to the Hague. Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar (and Baron Stratenus, Dutch charge d'af faires) accompanied his Royal Highness to Blackwall. THE LATE MR. SHElL.—Almost every London journal has ascribed a different age to the departed orator, and none of them the correct one. Mr. Sheil had nearly completed his sixtieth year, having been born cn the 16th day of August, 1791. The Lords of the Treasury have issued a general minute sanctioning the future admission into this country, duty free, of plate publicly presented to parties abroad, THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE EARL OF SFIAFTES- Bußy.—Yesterday the mortal remains of that venerable and distinguished Nobleman, the Earl of Shaftesbury, were re moved from St. Giles's House, Cranbourn, Dorset, for the purpose of interment in the family vault at Cranbourn Church, a short distance from the hall. The funeral was unaccompanied by any ostentatious display, and the mourn ful ceremony was in every respect conducted simply and solemnly. The service was performed by the Noble Earl's chaplain in a most impressive manner. Although the day turned out wet, a great number of persona assembled to witness the mournful cavalcade. The inhabitants and tradesmen of Cranbourn closed their shops partially during the greater part of the day to manifesr, their respect for the Noble Earl. The principal mourners on the melancholy oc casion were the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Ashley, Hon. An thony Francis Henry Cooper, Hon. Maurice William Cooper, Hon. Anthony Lionel Cooper, R.N., Joseph Neeld, M.P., Hon. Thomas Lowry Cory, and several other distinguished noblemen and gentry of the neighbourhood. FATAL ACCIDENT COMING FROM GREENWICIL-- BetwPen eight and nine o'clock last evening, a boat, return ing with a party of seven persons from Greenwich, in making for Rotherhithe-stairs to land, got athwart the causeway and capsized, immersing the entire party. O ne female, named Emma Somerville, of Waterloo-road, Wal worth, in her struggles, got out into deep water and was drowned. REUNION DES ABTA.—Last night this society gave its sixth soirée to a very select and crowded company, at the private rooms, 27, Queen Anne-street. The variety and the choice of excellent music, with its masterly performance, was most admirable. Mozart's quartet was played with great feeling and precision by Messrs. Day, Goffrie, Good ban, and Herr Schmidt. Rossini's duet, by Mdlle. Rummel and Madame Lemaire, was charming; while songs and solos by Miss Magner. Miss Lavinia., Miss Day, Mr. Goffrie, Mr. Gollmiek, M. Rummel, and Mr. A. Sawlett on the flute, " Le Carnaval de Yenisei" and "La Molinaro," executed with the fingers of the left hand only, drew enthusiastic ap.• plause from the intellectual and elegant audience, prolonging the evening to a late hour. fi A serious failure was announced yesterday from Liverpool, the house being that of Mr. R. E. Hyde, with liabilities supposed at the least to range between 200,000/. and 300,0001. Mr. Hyde has long enjoyed excellent credit, but he was a large holder of cotton. The most favourable accounts represent that he will pay in full, while others, esti mating cotton at its present price, state the probable divi dend at 15s. The commercial advices from the United States this week contain nothing of moment. The easy state of the money market still continued, as well as the advancing ten dency in all descriptions of State stocks. The simultaneous arrival of the Brazilian, West Indian, and American steamers, caused the deliveries of foreign letters and papers to be extremely large yesterday. At Lloyd's and the various coffeehouses there was much ac tivity in consequence, th e mass of general information re ceived being.greatly in excess of ordinary occasions.

It is equally agreeable to me to acknowledg e the readiness with which the communes that were called upon to lodge the con centrated troops performed this duty. I commission you, consequently, to express to the citizens of Olmutz, ss well as to the communes whom it may concern, my acknowledgments and complete satisfaction therefor. " Olmutz, May 31,1851. ed? " FRANZ. JOSEPH. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—The President of the Cham ber of Representatives has addressed the following letter to the members of the Chamber : "Sir, and Honourable Colleagues, —The Cabinet has acquainted me that the modifications which ought to be introduced in the projects of law submitted and to be submitted to the Legislature, do not permit him to resume immediately the works which made him desire that the Convocation of the Chamber of Representatives should be delayed for a certain time. Therefore, availing my self of the latitude left me by the Chamber at the time of its prorogation, I deem it advisable to fix the opening for June 23. In consequence I have the honour of re questing your presence at the Palais de la Nation at two o'clock on the 23d of this month. The following sub jects have remained on the orderof the day :—The law on petitions, the law on naturalization, the budget of ways and means. "Accept, Sir, and Honourable Colleagues, the assu rance of my high esteem." THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES." "Juno 8. DENMARK. The Duke of AUGUITENIAURGII has called to his councils two professors of law, MM. MICRELBEN and WARTZ, and instructed them to demonstrate in a memorial that the exclusion from the Crown of Den mark, pronounced against him by the KING, in his new order of succession, is contrary to law. This memoir, together with his protest, Is to be submitted for the consideration of the different Cabinets. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JUNE 6.—M. LEIDTZ, the Governor of Brabant and Minister of State, has returned to the capital for the purpose of resuming the negotia tions regarding the treaty of commerce and naviga tion between the Netherlands and Belgium. M. DONICE CURTIUS, M. VOLLENROVEM, and M. DEL MAN of Paris, have been some time at Brussels for the purpose of forming a society for the improving the state of the Scheldt. TURKEY. Intelligence has been received from Constantinople to the 25th ult., and from Smyrna to the 24th. The Journal de Constantinople says—" Yesterday the State Usher of the GRAND VIZIER, waited on MEHEMET ALL PACHA, ex-Minister of War, to take from him the decorations of his office. At the same time ZIYRR AGA, one of the Chamberlains of the SULTAN, went to MUTERDJIM MEHEMET PACHA, President of the Council of War, to request his attendance at the Imperial Palace of Tcberagan. On his ar rival there, bis Highness handed him the insignia of his new functions as Minister of War. After pre senting to the SULTAN the homage of his gratitude, MUTERDJIM MEHEMET PACHA left the Imperial Pa lace avd proceeded to the Porte, where the Hatti- Cherif announcing his nomination was read in pre sence of the Ministers and the other high functiona ries. MEHEMET ALI PACHA, ex-Seraskier, has been named a Minister, without portfolio. MEHEMED ALL BEY, one of the youngest sons of MEHEMED Amr, the late ?ache. of Egypt, has arrived here, and been most graciously received by the SULTAN. He will remain in this capital to complete his studies." The Smyrna journals contain a letter from Aleppo, which says—" Youssour BEY, who was Civil Go vernor after the revolt in this city, and who is con sidered as the richest and most powerful Arab in the country, has just been arrested by order of the Governor-General MEHEMED PACHA ; he is to be sent to Constantinople, where an examination into his conduct will be instituted. The arrest has produced a very salutary effect on the Arab po pulation, and takes from them any idea of again dis turbing the country. YOUSSOUF BEY was the inti mate friend of ABDULLAH BEY, who played such an important part during the disturbances, and it was thought his immense riches would shield him from any proceedings. The Imperial Government, how ever, appears to be determined that, without distinc tion of rank in future, every one found guilty of being concerned In that insurrection shall meet with the punishment which be merits." The Agrani Gazette quotes letters from Bosnia, stating that the people of that province are slowly re turning to a state of tranquillity. The town of Bihaez, it would seem, has suffered most from the late insurrection, having been twice in the hands of lawless bands of insurgents, and afterwards besieged by the Turkish troops, when two hundred houses were burnt down in the suburbs. Recruiting is going on now in Kraina on a large scale. The Se raszier OMEIt PACHA has marched to Banjaluka with the greater part of his troops. Skanderbeg is at Novi. GREE CE. Athen journals of the 29th ult. have been received. They state that Prince D'OLDEMBOURG, brother of the Queen of iiREECE, embarked at the Pyreus, on the 20th, for Constantinople. He will remain for a fortnight or three weeks in that city, and then return to Athens, after which he is to proceed to Germany. A discovery has just been made at Hermiones, in the Peloponnesus, of a certain spring of water which, when mixed with oil, becomes at once a kind of soap. A sample has been submitted to chemical analysis. ITALY. The Tuscan Government has suppressed the Statuto of Florence, for having published an account of the massacre by the troops and gendarmerie of the people assembled for religious worship in the church of Santa Croce, on the 29th May. COLLISION BETWEEN THE AUS TRIANS AND HAMBURGHERS. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) HAMBURGH, MONDAY, JUNE 9. A bloody collision has taken place between the sailors and the Austrian troops. Six men have been killed and a great number wounded. THE GREAT _EXHIBITION. (THIS DAY.) The unpromising aspect of the weath er at the hour of opening, and the heavy rain which began to fall about 12 o'clock, has had the effect of diminishing to some ex tent the number of visitors to the Great Exhibition this morning, compared with the number who visited it at the same hour yesterday. Only 14,135 entered the building in the first hour, at 12 o'clock they had risen to 28,769, and at one o'clock there were 38,049 persons in the building. The visitors were of the same class as yesterday, mostly country visitors. At one o'clock 523 had left the building. Yesterday, in the first hour, 21,526 were admitted, and the num ber of persons in the building even at twelve o'clock were 34,311. After that time the same cause acted to diminish the rush as was at work this morning —the anticipation of a damp, disagreeable day. Those who arrived in the last hour this morning presented anything but a comfortable appearance, and the temperature of the building when the rain falls outside is certainly not the most cheering. There does not seem much chance that the numbers during the remainder of the day will reach even yesterday's returns, which show that from ono to two o'clock 4,832 were admitted; from two to three o'clock 3,312; from three to four o'clock 1,666; and the total up to the hour of closing was 54,194. At the doors 2,4361. 4s. was taken, and we find this amount increased by the sum of two guineas for the sale of a lady's season ticket. OPENING OF THE VALE OF NEATII RAILWAY.- The 18th of the present month, the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, has been fixed on as the period for the opening of this line, and the most strenuous exertions are being made by all parties engaged on the works to expedite them,. so that everything m a y b e ready by the proposed date of opening. This anniversary has likewise been chosen as the opening day of the South Wales line from Gloucester to Chepstow, so that the junction between the former city and Swansea will then be completed. The opening of the Yale of Neath will, however, in a great measure depend upon the completion of the South Wales line, the directors of the former railway being, from motives of economy, desirous of availing themselves of the facilities affiarded by, the South Wales for the moving of the necessary engines and ma terials. ADJUSTMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION.--. A meeting of architects and o th ers was h e ld a t Ly on ' s I n n Ilan, on Friday evening, the 6th instant, to devise means for improving the administration of architectural competitions. Mr. G. Godwin, F.R.S., presided, and letters were read from the Institute of Brit sh Architects, the Irish Institute, and many others. M r. C . F ow l er, v i ce -p re sident of the in stitute, moved the first resolution, asserting the nece , sity for a proper cod e o f regu l at i ons for t h e gu i dance o f building committees; and a committee was appointed to draw up such a code, and submit it to a second meeting, to be called hereafter.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and 1,000 on speculation. The sales comprised 7,000 American, 200 Percent and Maranhao), at 64d. to 7id.; 100 Bahia, at qd. to eid.; 200 Egyptian, at 64d. to 74d.; and 300 Surat, at 3id. to 44d. per lb. The market closed firmly.-Railway Shares were very flat. The failure of Mr. R. E. Hyde, of Liverpool, f or a 200,0001. to 300,0001., has been announced, and it is feared other suspens i ons will follow, although a gout' dividend is expected from that gentleman's estate. At Hamburgh last Friday the rate of Exchange 051 London was 13 34. Bills on London were more plen tiful. Coffee was dearer and Grain firm. In the Amsterdam Bourse on the 7th instant business DK was dull in home Funds. Peruvian Bonds, however, 2.8 were in request and dearer. The Jamaica accounts state that on the north aide the weather was so dry that the crops of the present and next year are likely to be materially injured. On some pro perties it was difficult to procure water for the stock, the pastures were literally parched, and the cane fields are represented as being in a deplorable condition. It was hoped that in a few days the earth would be refreshed with genial showers. In Falmouth the weather was very oppressive, and there was disagreable malaria from surrounding marshes. The Customs' Tonnage Bill had passed, the duty upon shipping imposed by this Act being continued at 2s. 6d. per ton until October 10, after which date it will be reduced to 2s. There will then be ft curtailment of salaries. There is no further mention of cholera in the north side papers. There had been some Baptist gatherings, at which resolutions were passed condemnatory of thfe interference of the State in the education of the people. The Jamaica Morning Journal states;-" A machine for ginning cotton, certainly of extreme simplicity of dia. construction, and apparently of sufficient strength to Ms ' wear well, was exb ibited at our office yesterday, and gave general satisfaction. It is of a kind, especially intended for the . use of small settlers, and is every point of vilew seems, as far as we can judge, well calcu lated for that purpose. Be sides the two importtint advantages to which we have already referred, the method of working it is so easy that an intelligent child of eight or nine years of age would find no difficulty in using it. In fact, a child of somewhere about that age, and who, we know, bad never previously, seen it, did gin a little cotton with it in our presence yesterday. Its probable cost will place it within the reach of all. It occupies as little room, and is quite a s p orta bl e as a common small table; and, above' all, it does not break the seed, or in the least in jure the staple of the Cotton. The quantity of Cotton that may be ginned with this machine in a day, by one person, is said to be about ten pounds-a small quan tity, to be sure, where the crop is to be counted by New Orleans bales, but a. very fairly remunerative one, at its price, for the advantage which it gives over the amount that could be picked by hand in a day. But we see no obstacle to its admitting, even in its present shape, of a second feeder. The following were the receipts arising from Customs, Public Works, and Excise for the quarter ended the:3oth April, 1851, and for the like period for 1849 and 1850. The Customs quarter, 1849,. were 24,4191. 9s. 10d; in 1850, 32,179/. 18s. 6d.; in 1851, 53,6471. Is. Od.

Th e rece i pts for Canal olls were, in 1848, 46,493/.; in 1849, 56,200 Z; in 1850, 65,772.. The English Stock Market is very quiet, and the settlement of the Account chiefly occupies attention. Consols hale?, been 971 to 98 for Transfer, and 984 to for the 17th July, when the next settlement takes place. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents, have been 98 to 4 1 and the Thr ee p er C en t.
