Much has been said both in and out of Parliament respecting " the estate" that had been sold by the Commissioners for one and a half year's purchase on the - , profit rent. Many arguments were founded on the transaction; as being little better than " confisca tioie," exhibiting gross recklessness on the part of the Comnaissioners, and an utter disregard of the in terests 'of the unfortunate inheritor, and still more unfortunate puisne incurubrancere. It was considered to be ioLleed " an alurming sacrifice," showin g th a t t h ere we no reserve, and that prop"rties would be disposed of, at any prices, however inadequate, that might be offered. The admitted facts of the case afforded ample corroboration to these statements. The lands, containing nearly 8,000 acres, were a part of a liege estate, held altogether for a long term at the yearly sum of 1931., or thereabouts. It was stated that they produced a yearly income of Gall., leaving a' profit to the proprietor of something more than 400/. per annum over and above all outgoings ; and if there was any mistake or error in the assertion the 'Commissioners were, to a certain extent, at least patties thereto, inasmuch as they placed the entire he ad rent reserved by the original lease on it alone, ini6isposed of the remaining lots, free from any cleirn on the part o f the landlord. It was one of the fire,eestatee brought to th© hammer, and was knocked du 7 ,%it; for 6001., r one end a tea year's purchase. This , early sacrifice had a very deteriorating in fluencu on future saes. It went forth to the world that eepersen might become ,the happy proprietor of an er.;;Oe:sive, territory—as large as some of the Ger men principalities--ecomprising thousands of acres, at a mere nominal price. Persons at a distance were detirred from competing fa- really valuable proper ties oa the supposition that there must be " some thing rotten in the state of Ireland," or that such a transaction could not possibly have occurred. While all envied the fortunate purchaser his extraordinary aNdisition, some of the overcautious determined to seek other and safer channels for investment, while even the more daring held aloof, hoping- that some similar " God-sends" might fall into their hands, and determined to keep their ready money available for the golden opportunities that might arise. It is by no means improbable that the net proceeds of the dif ferent sales were diminished by many thousands of pounds sterling, in consequence of the extraordinary bargain that had beer. obtained in the first iustance. These opinions were, however, in some degree shaken when the " lucky purchaser" desired to sur render his " bargain," and to relinquish the extraor dinary advantages he had obtained. He was even willing to pay the costs attendant op a re-sale if he might be excused from completing his contract. His application was Teeny granted. The Commi'- sinners were only commencing their career; they were probably desirous of exhibiting an off-han mode of doing business that might invite future custom, and perhaps felt some compassion for a man who had gone beyond his means by bidding a high- r sum than he had available; besides, there could he but little prospect of loss, as 8,000 acres of land would surely at any time produce far more than 6001. The sale was consequently annulled, and the lands again set up for competition at the new auction mart" in Henrietta-street. We believe that there was not on that occasion any allegation of fraudulent or unwarrantable represen tations being contained in the printed rental, which constituted the basis of the contract between the vendor and purchaser, and on the faith of which the bidders were invited to come forward. Had sueh been the case the purchaser would have been dis charged ex debito justitice, as a matter of right, not of favour, and would have been en titled to receive, and not ordered to pay, costs. The rental and conditions of sale would also have bsen revised, so as to-prevent the passibility of a similar mistake occurring a second time. Nothing of the kind, however, took place. The first purchaser did not make any objections to the rental. He did not assert that the real facts of the case had been in any degree perverted, or that he had been deceived. He was, as we have already stated, discharged as a matter of grace on payment of costs, and the lands were again set up without any alteration in the printed particulars. These facts afforded the strongest corrobsration of the accuracy of the pub lished rental. The estate submitted to public compe tition was held for a term equivalent to a perpetuity, and produced, at least, if the tenants satisfied their respective liabilities, a clear profit rent of 4001. per annum. Beggarly, however, and inadequate as were, the offers at the first auction, those at the second were far worse, and the lot was eventually knocked down for 4501., or little more than one year's purchase on the profit rent. The astonishment and surprise of those at a distance reached the highest pitch at this almost inexplicable transaction, and the Learned Commissioners incurred heavy odium for permitting so great a sacrifice. The mystery has, however, at length been brought to light, a full explanation has been given of the affair. An application was made on Thursday on the part of the, second purchaser to be released from his " wonderful bargain," k but on very different grounds from those put forward by his predecessor. There were, it appeared, no less than 19 misrepresentations in the printed particulars. The property was appa rently a damnosa hereditas, involving considerable responsibility and but little expectation of profit to the proprietor. In place of yielding 4061. per annum to the proprietor, it had not for some time yielded sufficient even to satisfy the claims of the Lead land lord. This might possibly be attributed to the tem porary depreciation of property during the Irish crisis, but the rental was altogether of a fanciful character, without any foundation in fact; as the Chief Commis sioner declared in his judgment, "it was all a fiction, there was no truth in it." Under such circumstances, it is almost unnecessary to add, that the purchaser was discharged, and de clared entitled to his full costs, which are to be paid by the party having the carriage of the proceedings, in the first instance, but if he should be unable to satisfy the demands, they are to be liquidated out of the funds in the matter, in priority of all other claims. The Court justly exhibited the utmost dis pleasure at the deception that had been practised, and directed that the party responsible should not have his costs on the sale of the lot, and that the costs on the whole should be stayed Until the matter was brought b‘fore the Court for its consideration, when kit was intimated) "considerable deductions might be made, or perhaps he might find that he would get no costs." This is as it should be. Where the process is so very summary, and it is so desirable to gain public confi dence, it is essential that no wilful deccp►ion, or even the slightest eriggeration, should be tolerated. It must not be supposed that the rentals are merely framed "fir sale" and "not for use." :We are rejoiced to find that so salutary an example has been made, and still more so at discovering that a matter which had been made the foundation of serious accusation!. against the Commissioners, has been exhibited in its true light, and that the grave charges have in this instance at least been fully and completely rebutted. The months of February and August are generally looked forward to with intense anxiety by all persons interested in railway property. The general half yearly meetings of the various companies throughout the country take place at these periods. The position and prospects of the several undertakings are then ex plained, the amounts of profits and loss submitted for general inspection, and dividends declared for the pre ceding six months. These are the seasons when di rectors must be prepared to submit to searching cross examinations as to their course of policy, and to afford every information that can reasonably be re quired. There are now, fortunately, no concealments —every point connected with the working expenditure or profits of the lines is fully and clearly placed before the shareholders. There are no over -sanguine estimates of future earnings, no gorgeous ♦isions of " the good time coming" to dazzle shareholders. The plain and simple truth is detailed, clad in the sombre garments of sad reality. Where there has been unquestionable success, the proprietors are cautioned against permitting themselves to be carried away by the existing prosperity, and where there has been comparative failure, the real facts are set forth with out disguise, no artificial means being resorted to in order to enlighten the gloom of the moment. Divi. dends are no longer paid out of capital ; on the con trary, not only is ample provision made for every legitimate expenditure, the maintenance of the perma nent way, the keeping up of the locomotive pOirer in full efficiency, but, wherever practicable, a considerable reserve fund is retained in hand, to provide against any possible contingencies, and to guard against the danger of any reduction of diiidends below the re duced amount distributed during the last year. It may, indeed, be questioned whether directors are not falling into the opposite error from that formerly as cribed to them, and whether they are not exhibiting a degree of over-caution which, although not as much to be deprecated . as the previous rashness, being unquestionably a mistake on the right side, and cal culated to regain the public confidence, is yet scarcely fair to those having only life interests or other limited estates in the companies' stock, and who may reason ably complain at being not merely deprived of the temporary use of the money to which they were en titled, but at its being set aside to accumulate for the benefit of remainder-men, or for shareholders not entitled to participate in profits until some future period. It seems that there is a jPaste milieu, a h a ppy medium that should be observed, so that while the utmost care is taken to prevent any sum being improperly charged to tha capital account, and to ascertain that every shilling of what are styled " the net profits" had been fdthfully earned, the existing shareholders should be allowed to receive the entire amount of the balance at the disposal of the board. The meeting of the London and North-Western Railway Company is, perhaps, of all others the most anxiously looked forward to. The "Leviathan," as it has been justly termed, has ever taken a lead in everything relating to railways. It is not merely the amount of capital embarked in the undertaking, or the well-tried and unquestionable integrity and experience of the directors and manrgers, but that there is no company in the northern division of the kingdom that is not more or less concerned in its condition and progress. It may, to a certain ex tent, be regarded as an index exhibiting the state of railway prosperity. It was to its extraordinary suc cess, and the enormous profits realised by the early shareholders, that the excitement was owing which led to the over-rapH expenditure of capital, and the premature construction of various branches, which as yet, at least, have not realised the anticipations of the shareholders. It is, if not " the first," at least one of the earliezt to feel the effect of the general condition of the country. When trade is flourishing and money abundant there is a menifest improvement in the traffic, which, if not yet perceptible in other dis tricts, may be confidently expected to appear very speedily. Liverpool, M tnchester, and Birmingbam, which may be termed par excellence " the commer•• cial districts of England," will be the first to suffer from any depreciation, or to benefit by any improvement; but similar results will speedily follow in other localities, even the most agricultural, fer the interests of trade, convnerce, manufactures, and agriculture, are more closely and intimately con nected then is generally supposed to be the case. No►hing could be more cheering than the state ments elicited at the meeting of this great company, held at the Eu- , ton , square Station on Friday last. Although the first half of the year is invariably less profitable than the second, not only has the dividend declared in February been fully maintained, but a very large addition has been made to the reserve fund, which now amounts to the enormous sum of 144,7211., and the gross receipts from traffic exhibit an improvement of no leas than 77,2411., and on the net profits of 69,7841., beyond those of the last corre sponding half-year (when a dividend was declared at the rate of 7 per cent.), and that although " the com pany had been subjected at various points to severe competition, and that many of the lines calculated to draw off a portion of the traffic long enjoyed by the North-Western have been in full opera ion." These are indeed cheering facts, and were received as such by the shareholders. The only points of difference on the report arose on the amount of dividend, amendments being , successively proposed to the effect that 51 and 6 per cent. should be distri buted, the former of which would have left a balance of 101,0001., and the latter of 52,5681., to the credit of the reserve fund. On division, however, the views of the directors were sustai- ed, and a dividend de clared after the rate of 5 per cent. per annum only, a rate that may be regarded as being as safe as that of Consols ; perhaps more so, as it is tolerably well known that Sir CHARLES WOOD is exceedingly anxious to signalize his financial administration by a reduction of the Three per Cents. ,to 21 or 2:1. On the whole, however, although we think a larger amount was honestly earned, and might fairly have been nivided, we cannot blame the proprietors for supporting a board whn have proved themselves io deserving of their confidence, and carrying out in every respect the views put forward in the report, although involving a temporary sacrifice on their parts. UHE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday Ind yesterday. The accounts of the reception of the PRESIDENT in the Departments are most contradictory ; the journals of the aElTee represent it as being more gratifying than even his most ardent friends could have hoped or expected ; white the Legitignatist and Re publican journals, on the contrary, state that he was everywhere greeted with over whtlming cries of " Vive la Republique!" mingled with some cries of "Vive la President !" " Vive Napoleon !" but that the cry of " Vive le Empereur !" was scarcely heard. The ilfoniteur puhliThes the official text of the re ply of th,l PRESIDENT of the Republic to the request of M. NotsoT that he would release M. GUINARD from prison. It is as follows : confess that I did not exp,q. at such a place, and Ott such a moment, that a reproach would be addressed to me— a::d what a reproach ! on the surject of an act re quired from me, without rcificting that it is iuterdicted io are by the Constitution. Is it Lot known that the prisoners, whom a sentence of the High Court of Jus tice has sent to Doulleni, can only leave it by a decision of the Aseetnbly. As for me, with respect to all, little or great, innocent or guilty, I have only one duty to perform—to secure in the intereA of society the ex..cu tion of the law on those whom it has condemned, as I have sworn to ensure protection to all the members of the nation. Have I not faithfully kept my oath ? Is not the law sovereign and reapectee ? Do not, tnen, it,k me to do what I cannot do with,ut violating it. Let the Alss. , mbly pronounce, and I shall know how to execute its deci4i.43,_and cause it to- be respected." This reply has given great offence to the supporters of the Assembly ; they accuse Louis NAPOLEON of qiking credit to himself for every act likely to conf , r popularity, whilst he seeks to throw uplei the Assembly the responsibility of all measures of rigour. From Dfj , in the PRESIDENT went 'ho Chalons, where he revi , -wed the troops. Here he quitted the railway and embirked on board a steamer to proceeed to Macon by the river, stopping it the various towns situated on the banks. At Tournous, the municipal authorities, headed by the Mayor, an aged man, came on board, when the latter I delivered an address, which concluded as follows : I " The star of honour which gleams in the arms of this town reminds the inhabitants without ceasing of your uncle, Napoleon-le-Grand, who in according them that glori ,, us recompense imposed on them the duty ot remaining always worthy of it. Consequently order , Ind wise liberty will not have any more energetic defenders than the sons of those who in 1789 disper•ed the bands of incendiaries, and of those in 1814, who, guided by the purest patriotism. combated ler the freedom of the B,cred soil of th , .ir country. The whole town, Monsieur le President, by my voice, draws your attention to the deplorable state of our port. As you can yourself ascertain the exa;:titude of my assertion, it feels no doubt that the interest which the town is most anxious about will receive from you a just satisfretion. Vive le PrCident de la Republique!" The PRESIDENT replied that " the town of Tourrrius WAR worthy ot all his solicitude, bosh on account of the patriotism of its inhabitants, and for the affection which the Emperor had entertained towards it ; it richly merited the arms which the great captain had endowed it with; and as to himself, he would take into serious consideration the request just made r,l.at , ve to the port." The cute also briefly addressed the PRESIDENT to assure him of the devotedness of the clergy, and of their ardent prayers for his preservation and for the welfare of France. The PRE4IDENT thanked him in warm term,. There is something approaching to the burlesque in commencing with lomagnificent allusion to the star of honour, and ending, like a begging letter, with " the deplorable state of the port," and the " just satisfaction which they hope to receive from the hand of the PRESIDENT." At Macon he was feted by the authorities, and pro ceeded from thence to Lyons. Here he was received in grand state, and in answer to the address of the Mayor of Lyons, he made a speech in which we find the following significant passage : "I am not the representative of a party, but the re presentative of the two great national manifestations which in 1804, as in 1848, have desired to save by urd•.r the great principles of the French revolution. Proud of my ori;in and of my flag. I will continue fsiditul to them. I shall submit myself entirely to the country, whatever it may require of me, he it abnegation or per severance. Rumours of coups d'eteit may have perhaps reacted you, to which you have given little heed, as I thankfully acknowledge. Surpris: s and usurpations may he the dream of parties who have no support from the nati , m, but the man chosen by six millions of voters executes the will of the people, and does not betray them." . The allusion to 1804 has given deep offence to Legitimatists, Orleanists, and Republicans, and, taken in conjuection with an article which appears in the Pouvoir of Saturday, and which is entitled "Wrist we Want," seems to indicate pretty clearly the inten tions, if not of Louis NaroLsort, at least of his par tisans. The Pouvoir says it wants the Constitution so altered by the present Assembly as to enable Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to remain head of the State with two chambers, and that the Constitution so altered should be submitted to the country fur its ratification. The Constitutionnel, which is the organ of the Ministry, thus comments on the speech of the PRESI DENT at Lyons : " I he nob'e and courageous confidence of the Presi dent is certainly connected with the change that has been operated in the minds of the people of these depat tments. Such is the French nation. It meets half way thus who go to it with complete openness of heart. The enthu siasm of the populations for Louis Napoleon is incontes table. There are people who indeed say, that such manirestations have ever met princes of all kinds. There is this difference, however, between the past and the present:—ln meeting the representatives of hereditary monarchy pi-sple thought ;hey were piing day they hail aln wh homage toh e eternal : a nd permanentoslegalo po s er To is s e s ,) o rouf4 time.eord ng 7l, tohi ,This th in e an C i ° fe n s s t t a i t t i :nye s t e o m b e i s p i a r e v o within a t short shall not be. Ilent,etorward, we hope that no one will accuse the President of a desire to prolong his power by irregular means. His language at Lyons is a protest against such poor expedients, only used by parties who have no hold on the nation. Let there be no pretext for • equivocation. What rem sins to he said is this, that the Napoleon loses much of s hercense popularity with its p p r r f t: s t e er c e e d b o y t L tti , c t i n l which be is invested, and that there is little merit in not demanding from illegitimate means that which ono is aln.ost sure to obtain from the tr. e and spontaneous vote of a people."

Yesterday morning he visited the school of Lamartioe, and several ateliers, and went to a banquet of 1,200 c ivers, v.hich was given him by the commerce of the c'ty. On entering the bounds of La Gulloiiere, he was received by the municipal administration 'of the town. At txelve he reviewe,i the troop.; at four he visited the ateliers of the Croix 0,1,d the ex hibition of the products of inluitry.

The speeches which he made at three bampetA, as well as at the inauguration of the caisso de sec ruts. ' were received with enthusiasm, and greatly cheered.

A. letter from Frankfort of the 'l3th says, it is not true that the Plenary Assembly has been dissolved On the contrary, it has solicited far more extended powers. We reed in the Independance of Brussels : " According to a rumour in circulation at Berlin on the 10th, Prussia was preparing to consent to an act which Appears to be only a new concession to Austria, namely, to consent, alttiough not partiCipating in it, to the establishment of the restricted Council, on con ' dit ion that by the side of that council should continue to subsist the Central Federal Committee, which is com posed, as is known, of two Prussian and two Austrian members. That would be certainly a bestard sys tem, of which the smallest icconvenience would be to create two central federal authorities, or, in other words, to augment the occasion of conflicts, and complicate the situation, already complicated be yond measure. Therefare, we do not think that this new proposition of Prussia can be looked on as a serious one, supposing that it has been really made. It can only be a new step destined to preeare men's minds for more complete con cessions with respect to Austria Our last letters from Berlin, of the 14th, announce to us that it was rumoured that Austria had sent in her reply, and had rejected the proposition. As to the difference relating to the Baden troops, Austria, it is said, has accepted the proposition made by Prussia, to submit the mat ter to a tribunal of arbitration composed of seven members—three Prussians, three Austrians, and the seventh, a foreignsr." The. Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Berlin, of the 14th, which stees that the KING has addressed a letter to M. DE MANTEUFEL, Minister of the Inte rior, in which he declares that th e U n i on cannot b e any conditions. conditions.

A letter from Dresden, of the Bth, in the Augsburg Gazette, announces that the First Chamber of the &own States has adopted unanimously the resolution already voted by the Second Chamber by 50 votes to 3, declaring the pri*ent Assembly of the States com petent, abolishing the provisional laws of Nov. 15, 1848, which established a new electoral system, and several other modifications in the old constitution Row again in force. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Cologne Gazette, which is a great supporter of the cause of the Schleswig-Holsteiners, publishes the following : The reports received of the re-completion of the Schleswig-Holstein army give reason to expect that General Wiltisen was ablut to order an advance. This probability was increased by the fact that the Danish army had been weakened by the sending of tro p to the Kest, arid the extension of their whole line fri:ea Friethichstalt to Eckernforde. These hopes, however, appear not likely to be immediately fultibed. It is announce:) today that the army will limit itself to the &Fence iif Holstein. The strategetic motives for this resolution are not known. The su periority of toe I) tines cannot be the onlyre.sson, tor this is uuimpio tint in degree, and, indeed, only sufficient to give laurel, for the Holsteiners to pluck. For polities( reasons it is certainly to be regretted that the Hol. steiners can undertake nothing, fir the business becomes protracted, and its decision fills into the hands of inploinatists who are distnelined to the inhabitants of the Duchies, and consider thew as rebels, and would now treat them as conquered rebels. A report from Eckernfurdc and Lubeck announces that the corn 'mender General Krogh, has been positively or dvred to remain in the strong positian extending from west to east from Friedrichsradt to Eckern forile, and there to await a decision, either from negotiation or the recommencement of the war. Rumours of an impending peace are not want itrige, ' fltl, Austria, and Russia a t u rns named as inAiators. Accord ing to the New Prussian Gazette, an En g lish envoy is now at the Danish held-qu-Arters with d e fi n iti v e instruc tions from Laird Pslmerston for proposing a basis of a reeoncilialiou. A Russian agent is also in Schleswig. The fact that Alice the Bth of this month they have somewhat receded is connected with the attempts at mediation in our reports. A us t r i a , t oo , is taking a. part. and sends M. Bie ge l e b en as a com mist: corps iuner.N , getiations respecting t h e stat i on i ng ofof observation in Holstein have been car ried on between Austria and Russia : t h e l at t er C a bi net h ff a sstronglyopposed the ptip os i t i on, and the m i ssion Biegeleben, may be to pro cure t h e co - operat i on the Austrian p ro j ect. I t i s state d (o M. e . Bend that Austria will desire, first, the dissolution of the Schleswig army, and then call upon the Bund to take tLe affairs of the Duchies in baud. Tee reports concerning the Danish army current in Berlin speak of the assistance rendered by the Russian war and transport ships, by furnishing provisions arid ammunition to the Danes. It is stated that the losses of the Danish army are being supplied by Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, and English officers, those of the two last nations leaving their native service for that purpose, the others serving witA the per mission of their Governments. The loss of General Schleppergell is, I:l, , wever, irreparable. It is from the Swedish guard, the first and second grenadier regim-nts, an d t h e jo,..,ers, that officers are alone permitted to absent themselves to servo in the Danish aiice, ITALY. The Risorginzento of Turin Publishes a note, dated the 19 , h ult., addressed by Cardinal ANTONELLI to Marquis SPINOLA, the Sardinian Ambissador at Rome on the subject of the abolition of ecclesiastical privileges in Piedmont, and in answer to a note of the Sardinian Cabinet, dated the 28th of June. The Car dinal discusses the assertion of the hitter, that " a state may change its political forma without the consent of the Court of Home," an d contends that in that case the c o nventions of a state with the Holy See would al ways be subordin a t e to the changes which might he made in the laws of that state. He briefly alludes to the concordats solemnly concluded with Piedmont, and then propose s th e question " whether a state, particularly a Catholic one, may, on chang ing its political organization, disregard the disciplinary rights of the Church without the consent of the Holy See ?" a question whin he answ:Ts negatively, on the ground that the Church is to be perfectly ind-- pendent of the civil power, as, not having territorial limits, she is every where the :so le ar biter of h er dis cipline, and being, by di v ine institutions, a true and perfect society of a su p e rior order to that of civil societies. If the principles of Cardinal ANTONELLI are carried out, it is clear, upon his own showing, that civil society must cease t o ex i s t, and that there can be neither civil or religious liberty where the pretensions of a Church such as this are tolerated : the only pos sible government under such a state of things is a grinding and unreasoning sacerdotal despotism. Signor BItNCIII GIOVINI, a Lombard refugee, an d the Editor of the Op;nione, has been expelled from Turin at the request of the Austrian Minister. In a correspondence in the Armonia it is stated that five of the Roman organic laws have been printed—viz ,1. On thy- Consulta of State ,2. 0:1 the Council of State; 3. On the Municipalities; 4.

With reference to the teennvel of the seat of government to Quebec, and the 15,0001. included in the estimate for repairs, &c.. fir our public buildings, we learn, from a orivat i letter received to il.ty, that all of the Lower Cenada Members insist en this cum beifqz voted, and that the Ministry redeem their pledge, that. the Parliament, (Ater having sat one more siess'on in To ronto, shall then meet in the ancient cApital of Ginada.

Severe st , rms, however, had been experi.nced, and had done some damage both to the shipping and the estates. In some parts of Jamaica f-Ars were entertained for the crops, owing to the heavy rains, but from others, St, Ann's for instance, we are informed that the coffT crop promised well. In Demerara the weather waa very dry and favourable for the planters. In Trini dqd the crop had been finished, and proved less than was expected. The growing crops were very sati.fac tory in Barbadoes, and the next sugar crop is likely to be abundant. Sugar making had been prevented in Do minica by the extremely wet weather. The new inter colonial steam communication was being arranged, and the vessels of the company would rendezvous at St. Tho mas on the 19th inst. :."..Advices of the 9th July from Bolivar state, in reforence to the gold district of Angostura that the precious metal was at present found exclusively in the bed of the river, and that nothing could he done in the way of further explo ration until the dry season came, say in Oet ,, ber. About twelve bags of gold dust hal been forwarded to Trinidad as specimens. The British Consul had thought it, nevertheless, advisable to warn parties that they should he very cautious in proceeding to the gold country, where great privations would have to be endured. The Amsterdam Stock Market on Saturday was rather more btrtvant. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 57i to 1-16. Spanish Bonds were tolerably animated. They; is an extremely inactive market again for Public S,! , carities, and the quotations rule heavy. It is ohvious that paucity of business and the absence from town of the principal jobbers and speculators is the main caused the existing heaviness, although the Danish questioa will be a curb until arranged.
