LONDON, WEDNESDAY, bEPTEMBER 11, 1850 Disingenuous as the apologists of Austria have shown themselves from the very commencement of the revolutionary movement in Hungary, we cannot call to remembrance any more tortuous mode cf ar gument than that recently adopted by them in reference to the attack upon General HAYNAU in Bankside. With the intention of diverting the horror of the community from the sanguinary monster lately hooted through the streets of our metropolis, these sinister supporters of Absoltitism have trumped up an infamous fiction of nearly five hundred execu tions under the Magyar regime, five hundred, of which not one has hitherto been recorded, " besides a variety of massacres," existing nowhere except in the recesses of their diseased imagination. Against any such odious misrepresentations we shall never cease from raising our voice in accents of indignant abhorrence. Without deigning to discuss the force of the accusation —regarding that accusation as being beyond the reach of discussion-e-we content ourselves with reminding the, public that until now not one single charge of the like character has been directed against the leaders of the Hungarian Democracy. It has even been asserted of Louis KOSSUTH, the chief in that illustrious rrovement, that throughout the whole cf the period of his political supremacy, throughout the whole cf the time when his authority was acknowledged by his countrymen in the lofty and responsiLle post of Dictator, not one death-warrant received his signature, not one criminal was at his mandate required to expiate his offences by undergoing the penalty of death by the rope or the bullet. Insomuch was this the case that the c x-Governor of Hungary has been taxed with his abstinence from severity as with a weakness destructive to the vigour of his administration, and detrimental to the interests of the Magyar common wealth. While the German Commander-in-Chief was butchering his prisoners wholesale, flaggellating women, incarcerating the noble and the ignoble ins. discriminately in the dungeons, saturating the planks of the scaffold with the blood of heroes, strangling the brave and the goad with halters, and sometimes par tially restoring them. to animation for the purpose of causing them to undergo the agony once more by a 'discharge of musketry (us was the case with the un fortunate BATTUTANI) ; while such inhuman atroci• ties were being perpetrated in the principal cities of the conquered territory, the fallen chieftains of that country were retreating into honourable banishment with their consciences unsullied by a crime, with their bands unstained by carnage or confiscation, with their humanity only the more conspicuou'ly displayed by having passed triumphantly through a myriad fierce and fascinating temptations. Yet, demonstrable a s were these facts to the comprehension of the Euro pean multitude, there are actually found men at this period so rash and insensate as to impeach the Hun garian statesmen and the Hungarian soldiers as hav ing been guilty of cruelty and ferocity, of systema tic assassination and organi zed massacre. . Experience has undoubtedly assured us that such are almost invariably the results of every unsuccess ful revolution. Directly the cause of any body of revolutionists has become v'sibly desperate, slanderers have appeared from the obscurest corners of literature ready to blacken the reputations of the purest, and to render repulsive and detestable those who were re cently the objects of general admiration. It was thus that on the rise of tle Jacobinical Triumvirate to power the shades of the G . rondists were exposed to undeserved execration. It was thus that on the for mation of the Directory the memories of Rona- PIERRE, of COUTHON, ani of ST. JUST were laden down by supposititious enormities beyond even those which were really the fruits of their ghastly domina tion. It was thus that subsequently to the 18th Bru maire the five Directors a e:e accused each with their peculiar evils, from the volup uousness of the indo lent BARRAS to the fanaticism of the dreaming origi nator of the Theoplailanthropists. It was thus that shortly after the fall of the Profsional Government, Lasessemen, even LAMARTINP, the patriot, almost ruined by his self-sacrificing devotion to Democracy, was openly'cbarged with Lying surreptitiously de voted to his own private purposes the public . inoneis. lying in the coffers of the Exchequer, superadding the business of the peculator to the fury of the dema gogue ! No marvel, therefore, that the deceived and defeated leaders of the Hungarian Revolution should be now-a-days taxed with the culpability always attributed to mifortune. No wonder tbat the de fenders of the Viennese Cabinet at least should endeavour to justify the proceedings of that de testable Government, by enumerating a variety of executions and massacres. Our only surprise is that the charge has not been attempted sooner, that the Austrian organs, both at Vienna and at London, have not bad the ingenuity to devise this scheme of prevarication somewhat earlier, so that its delay until the eleventh hour should not provoke the scrutiny of the suspicious and the sneers of the sceptical. Even the most credulous must be startled into some degree of incredulity as to the veracity of these same mas sacres and executions, when it is considered that up to this moment not one word has been uttered against the Councils of Debreczin as being harsh in cha racter or tyrannical in treatment. But for the recent explosion of hatred to that most execrable of the Austrian soldiers, Haysimr, we should, in all human likelihood, have never heard one whisper as to the executions ordered by the Hungarian statesmen, much less of the massacres attempted by the Hunga rian warriors. As to the latter, indeed, it would le interesting to learn who could by any possibility have been the objects of 'these same human battues. Was the carnage that of cities, villages, or hamlets ? If of either, in what quarter of the Continent. In Austria itself it could not have been, because of the short time during which the Magyar forces were beyond the frontiers of their own dominions, and because, more over, of the ardour with which the German people sympathise, with the Hungarians. In Hungary itself it could not be, for this simple reason, that the inha bitants of all the towns, villages, and hamlets of that glorious country were heart and soul with the champions of their independence.. In Transylvania it was equally impracticable, because of the depopula tion which had already transformed that mountainous province into a wild and precipitous wilderness. 'Where, therefore, by any possibility such massacres could have been perpetrated it would be rather diffi cult to conjecture, but that we are conscious of still more odious abominations sprouting forth, day after day, in the prurient fancies of similar calumniators of the unfortunate. Happily, with the better informed portions of the community there can be but one opinion as to the treatment encountered by the German butcher of the Hungarians when first detected in the streets of our metropolis. That most infamous woman flogger could not but recognise in the sudden contagion of fury against himself personally the wrath inspired by his atrocities throughout the length and breadth of Christendom. Many leagues from his own country, separated by the waters of the channel from the Eu ropean continent, he still found that in an obscure district of the English capital his name was sufficiently ' notorious to rouse the passions of the working classes to a frenzy of abhorrence and indignation. The lesson accorded to his sombre and polluted conscience by the yells of the labouring population of Bankside must assuredly by this time have carried dismay into his judgment; for it tells in sounds more comprehen sible than articulate language that the vengeance of the people, in this age of advanced civilization, is in no manner, restricted to , a given territory, but that henceforth the family of mankind are so bound to gether by their common intelligence and their frater nal sympathies that a tyrant cannot, as of old, find re fuge from the brand of the popular Nemesis. Even the ruins must from this time forth fail to afford them protection as they did of old to Meatus, or later in the days of Roman decadence to the blind and destitute BELISAHIUS. " The age of Ruins" is indeed obsolete, and the age of impunity to Absolutism like wise. Among all the countries scattered over the two hemispheres, the pulses of emotional sympathy throb in unison, none the less mysteriously than the in•angible current flows along the metallic threads of the electric telegraph. The channels afforded to this sympathy are those, be it remembered, of the Fourth Estate, and so long as journalism sustains its vigilance and its integrity, so long will the nations of the earth be armed against their desolators—rising up to pro nounce a malediction over their infamies whenever they detect a foreign tyrant among their visitors. Henceforth we would recommend the apologists of despotic government to contrive some more ingenious mode of argument for the purpose of palliating the enormities transformed by them into objects of admi ration; otherwise they can only contrive, by their impotent attempts at reasoning, to inflame still further the wrath of the community, to render them selves contemptible, awl the themes of their pane gyric more than ever objects of scorn and abomi nation. It appears to be universally admitted that the ge neral body of unguaranteed and non-preferential shareholders in the railway companies are not fairly remunerated for the amount of capital expended on the various lines, to say ncthing of the risk encoun tered in carrying their gigantic projects into execu tion. The nation has been enormously benefited by the wonderful facilities for intercourse and traffic afforded by the iron net-work by which the island is intersected. Time and distance are practically anni hilated ; journeys that formerly took weeks to accom plish may now be performed in a single day, and at a tithe of the former expenditure. It is needless to expatiate on the economical advantages that have already arisen and must necessarily arise from these almost miraculous achievements. They must be obvious to every man possessed of ordinary powers of observation. From the most exalted to the humblest in rank and station —the wealthy nobleman, the poor cottier, the mer chant prince, and the small trader—all must concur in considering those through whose spirit and enter prise these mighty undertakings were orginally con• ceived, and ultimately carried into execution, as public benefactors of the highest order, deserving of the highest rewards which the nation could confer. It would, therefore, be an act of but common jus tice, as it would undoubtedly be one of sound policy, to afford every possible encouragement to such par ties ; to endeavour, so fir as practicable, to render their speculations profitable, so that others might be induced to apply their capital to internal improve ments, rather than to lend it to foreign potentates for the most questionable purposes ; to develop the natural resources of the United Kingdom, rather than to enable a tyrannical despot to rivet the chains of a gallant but unfortunate nation struggling for freedom. But public men are proverbial for ingratitude—they will not even be guided by expediency, if bold and compre hensive views be required to discover that expediency. The youth who killed the goose that laid the golden egg has many admirers and pupils amongseAzeie who modestly style themselves " statesmen," atictiyho consider them3elves competent to manage the alfaira ,_,:, ,~. of a mighty empire. UtOM the beginning the parties interested in rail way property have been fleeced in every possible form and on the most frivolous pretexts. They were' met at the very threshold by the most extravagant charges for legal and Parliamentary_ expanses: The most vexatious opposition was encouraged,..wbieh had to be; bought off at almost any price. The value of the land required for railway purposes war-vot merely quadrupled—that would have been '01'1 . 6- derate demand; but, the.companies were tatilit to consider themselves well off if they escaped ing ten times the price that could be obtained).: any other quarter. Under such circumstances by no means surpri‘ing that the expenses of constitse tion before the lines were in good working coticlifiOn far exceeded the original estimates. They were, in fa about double what they would have been had Government, the Legislature, and the landownen treated the companies in the manner which thepv . t. , rited. This vast and most unnecessary addition to the original expenditure was one of the prineipal causes why the profits have not been cquivalent to the reasonable expectations of the shareholders-if-114 they are not fairly remunerated for their enorixfotis outlay. , • But it was not in this respect only that they were unjustly treated by Parliament; competitionAiias encouraged,wbicb must, if fully carried out according , to the eriginal intentions approved of and sanctfoireti by the i iegislature, have proved absolutely ruinous to all parties concerned.* The prevailing eacitemsot was . taken advantage of to extoXt, ,the ha!dest the different companies; they were bound to give 4r; THE SIIN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER ii , 1850. extraordinary advantages to the community. The tolls and rates were in some instances fixed so low that there could not by any possibility be an adequate return for the capital expended. The companies were compelled to carry the mails at almost nominal charges, which hardly covered the locomotive expenditure, and they were obliged to run what are termed "Parliamentary trains" on very favourable conditions to the public generally, It might be sup posed that these various Oligations were sufficiently onerous, and that when they were punctually per formed no further difficulties would be interposed. But not only the Government of the country, but every parish through which the railways are carried, compel them to contribute to the national or local expenditure far beyond their fair and just proportion. From a return which has just been issued, it appears that the amount of income-tax paid by different railway companies for the year ending the sth of April, 1849, was for Great Britain (Ireland not being subject to the tax) 184,9211., representing a net in come of 6,164,0331. Of this we do not complain. It is just and proper that accumulated and realized property of every kind and description should contri bute in proportion to its ability to the maintenance of the national establishments, and the liquidation of the national liabilities. But the matter does not stop there; immediately afterwards we find that the pas senger-tax during the same period amounted to no less than 237,9091. 13s. 10d. This impost is levied at the rate of 5. per cent, on the gross receipts from passengers. No allowance is made for the cost of earning that money, and if we estimate the total ex penses throughout the entire country at 50 per cent, on the gross receipts, and we take that to be a per fectly fair average, we find an additional tax of ten per cent. on the net profits, to which railway share holders are subjected. But even this is by no means the worst feature of the case. The debenture holders and guaranteed proprietors defray their proportion of the income-tax. BLit the passenger-tax falls altogether on the general body of shareholders, without drawback or deduction of any kind, so that it is by no means -an over- estimate to say that the ten per cent, on the net profits, which the pas senger-tax amounts to, is increased to at least 25 or 30 per cent. on the amount distributed among the shareholders. They thus practically pay income tax to that extent on their dividends, while the for tunate holders of Three per Cent. Consols, or, in fact, of almost any other description of property, escapes for 2/. 181. 44. per cent. on his in come. Is this equitable or just ? Is it what public benefactors have a right to expect from their grateful country ? We fearlessly assert that it is not, and that it only requires to have the matter properly ex plained, and held up to . public indignation, to have this flagrant grievance redressed—to ensure the total re peal of the passenger-tax on railways generally throughout the United Kingdom. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yestarday. The divisions among the reactionary party are be coming every day more palpable. The Patrie, the organ of the Bonapartists, denounces the Legitima tists, the Orleanists, the Assembly, in fact all who are imagined to be opposed to the permanent estab lishment of Louis NaroLxoN, in terms as severe as those in which it has heretofore denounced Repub licans; while the Bourbonist prints, such as the Assemblie Nationale, the Opinion Publifue, and the Ordre, apply to the Bonaparthts those terms of vitu peration which they have hitherto devoted to the ex clusive use of the Red Republicans and Socialists. General CHANCARNIER has ordered a large military force to hold itself in readiness to put down any attempt that may be made by the Society of the 10th December to get up a Bonapartist demonstra tion on the arrival of the PRESIDENT in Paris. MM. GUIZOT, DITCHATEL, DUMON, and DE MONTE. BELLO have returned to Paris from Claremont. M. SALVANDT, who had been to Claremont, has set out for Froshdorff. This has given rise to a rumour that the negotiations for a reconciliation between the two branches of the House of Bourbon have been renewed. Letters from Algeria mention that five new arrests have been made at Oran in connexion with the con spiracy discovered some time ago there; sixty-four persons, not including the military, are now in cus tody. The Attorney-General was preparing his indictment. PAnis !OUBBE, SEPT. 10.—Latest Prices—Five per Cents., 93r. 40c.; Three per Cents., 57f. 80c.; Back Action'', 2,590 f.

There has like wise been an increase of 2,250,000 florins in bonds and 1,500,000 florins in deposits in the public "funds. On the other hand, the state loan had been reduced to 4,500,000 florins. _ A synod of Roman and Servian Biahops will be held at Vienna in October.

The Roman diligence to Ferrara was attacked on the 25th ult. The Piedmontese Minister PINELLI had not been admitted to an interview with the POPE. The Statuto of Florence has the following, with out, however, guaranteeing its truth :—"lt is said that Lord PALMERSTON has transmitted to the court of the Vatican a note, drawn up in energetic terms, recommending it to refrain from any violent measure against Sardinia, and pointing out the danger of the system adopted by the Roman Cabinet with respect to that Government. The Duke of PARMA, by decree of the 26th ult., has closed the Alberonian College of St. Lazarus, on ac count, it is said, of the political conduct of the priests of the mission. The college had some clays before been strictly searched by the police. The priests and pupils, who are not subjects of Parma, were commanded to leave the territory immediately, and not to return without special leave. (It has already been stated that several of the priests have arrived in Piedmont.) The inmates of the college who are Parmese subjects were immediately to return to their respective homes. As the seminary of the Bedonia is a dependency of the Alberonian College, the Bishop of Piacenza was directed to take the ne cessary measures fur the continuance of instruction to the pupils of that seminary. The property of the college was entrusted to the management of an ad ministration, and the Holy See was to be informed without delay of the circumstances of the case. CRAITHIE, SEPT. 7.—lt is somewhat to be re gretted that a stranger on Friday caused some annoyance to her Majesty by persisting in fallowing her in one of her walks, and latterly threw a letter at her. The contents of the letter have not transpired, nor the name of the delin quent, and it is not likely there will be any investigation re garding the matter, the fellow having been quietly bundled off between two policemen, and afterwards set at liberty. THE COURT AT BALMORAL.—During the past week much of the time of the members of the Court has been passed in excursions around Balmoral, and to the principal points of interest and beauty in its vicinity. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the illustrious visi tors at the Castle, and the chief members of his suite, has also engaged in sport with his accustomed zeal and success. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday he went out deer stalking, and on each occasion brought home trophies of his skill. Several fine stags and roebucks have been brought down in the forest of Ballochbuie. On Friday her Majesty and a party ascended - to the top of Bennaboard, from whence a commanding and diversified prospect is obtained. Fortu nately the day was ne, and the view was held an ample recompense for the toil bf 'the ascent. The Earl of Carlisle arrived at the Castle on . Wednesday. The Very Rev. Prin cipal Lee, of Edinburgh, as senior Dean of the Chapel Royal, preached before her Majesty on Sunday.—Daily Mail. We are sorry to learn that an accident of a serious nature happened to the y9ungest son of Earl and Countess Poulett. On Saturday, the 7th inst., the Hon. Amos Poulett, when returning from a shooting excursion, had a dangerous fall from his horse, and sustained a severe fracture of the right leg, and it is feared a concussion of the brain. It is hoped that the young gentleman is progressibg favourably. Professor Airy having stated to the Lords of the Treasury that M. Otto von Struve, of the Imperial Obser vatory of Pulkowa, St. Petersburni, is expected to arrive in England with the standard bar employed in the great Indian survey, which had been entrusted to the Russian as tronomer for comparison with the standards used in the great Russian survey, and that it was important that the bar should be 'landed in its case with as little disturbance as possible, their Lordships have given directions that the b be examined with the utmost possible care, and at once de livered. TEE HALIFAX TRANSATLANTIC MAILS.—The Lords of the Admiralty have directed that henceforth the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-ships, sail ing between Liverpool and New York, shall cease calling at Halifax on their outward and homeward passage. The com pany's ships sailing between Liverpool and Boston will con tinue to call at Halifax, both out and home, as usual. ENCOUNTER WITH POACIIERS.—A few days since Thomas Burnet, gamekeeper to the Duke of Roxburghe, at Greenhill, fell in with three poachers upon the Duke's lands at Blackdean. They refuses to leave the ground when or dered to do so, and one of them shot a black cock in his pre sence, which another of them picked up. Burnet, who was riding upon a PGII3-, conti nue d t o f o ll o w th e m, and on his calling to some shepherds -at a •short distance, the poachers made off from the Duke's lands, and went over the hill on to Auchope. The gamekeeper still f flowed, and on coming up saw them squatting on the ground. On coining nearer to them they sprang to their feet, and one of them presented his gun and fired, when the shot took effect on the pony. Burnet then turned to leave, there being no one to assist bim, when two other shots were fired, both of which took effect on the pony, and partly on one of the gamekeeper's arms. He is but slightly injured, but the pony has received a considerable number of the shot in the neck and shoulder. —Kelso Mail. TREATMENT OF PRISONERS IN WESTMINSTER BRIPENVELL.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Bed ford, in the Westminster House of Correction, on the body of John Smith, aged 26. The deceased was in a frightful state of emaciation. He was admitted on the 17th of March, having been sentenced at the Middlesex sessions to six months' imprisonment for larceny. He had been but twelve months in London, four of which he had spent in prison a s pan of the time in the House of Correction at Brixton, where he had the cholera last summer, and the other period in the Middlesex Prison. In August he was unable to eat food, and he was taken to the infirmary in a very low state. After several witnesses had been examined, the jury returned a verdict of " Natural Death from decline." DEATH UT FlRE.—Yesterday Mr. Payne, jun., held an inquest on view of the body of Sarah Ing, aged 30, a married woalan, living in Middle-row, Old-street, St. Luke's. On Saturday afternoon deceased eft her home to see her daughter. • She returned about . nine o'clock, and we n t to her husband, who was on the first floor. In a few minutes she returned with a lighted candle in her hand, when in de scending the stairs she fell, and her gown was set on fire. She was soon in a sheet of flame, and her clothes were com pletely burnt before the fire could be extinguished. She was instantly conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she tied in a few hours. Verdict, Accidental Death." THE PROPOSED IMPROYEAIENTS IN ST. JAMES'S Para.—The following alterations are to be made in St. Jan.es's and the Green Park, in order to form the public gardens in front of Buckingham Palace .—The gardens will be nearly square, and will be situated parallel to each other on each side of the ; the present approach to the Palace, and the dimensions• of each, according to the plan submitted to Parliament, will be rather more than 200 yards in length, by 100 yards in breadth. That portion of each farthest from the Mall will have a semi-circular projection, adding considerably to its area. In order to make room for the one on the St. James's-park side, about 200 yards of the ornamental lake will have to be filled ap, and a new head to the lake will be formed in front of tl e guard-house, at a cost of 450/. The garden on the Green-park side will be similar in shape to the one which encroaches on St. James's park, and each will have three gates, one at each end front ing the palace, one in, the centre leading from the Mall, and one at each end extending into the parks. The lower gate of the Green-park-garden will front Stafford House, and bears, upon the plan, the appearance of a private entrance; while the lower gate in St. James's-park will be of large dimensions, and is the one designed for the use of the public. The Mall will be lined on each side with trees, forming a sort of wide avenue, as the grand approach Ito Buckingham Palace, and the entrance to this avenue will be formed by the marble arch, which will be erected at or beyond the termination of the gardens, at a distance of 800 yards from the front gate of the palace. The thoroughfare down Con stitution-hill will dead passengers past the front gate of the palace, down the avenue between the gardens, and out through the marble arch, and a similar route will be open from the St. James's-streetgate. Beyond th e marble arch will be four rows of trees extending down the Mall, and these, though an ornament in themselves, will certainly have' the effect of screening the view of the arch to be placed be yond them. Some entirely new path-ways will be formed in St. James's-park, and the new head of the lake will be much nearer to Birdcage-walk, with which promenade it is not proposed to interfere. The gardens will, be surrounded by a dwarf stone wall surmounted by iron railings. Opera tions have already been commenced by marking out the line of the intended gardens and the removal of the park-railings in front of the barracks. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.--A report is in cir culation, chiefly in consequence of a statement made by one of the provincial Journals, that the Great Western and Bristol and Exeter authorities contemplate making some alterations in the trains and fares, involving, in a considerable degree, the comfort and convenience of passengers...in short, that they intend to take off the second-class carriages from the express trains; to increase' the ordinary fares, and to arrange the third-class trains; so that two days will be necessary to go from Exeter to London,. There is not the slightest foun dation for the rumour, so far as the intentions of the autho rities of the Great Western Company are concerned, though e believe there is some reason to fear that the Bristol and Exeter authorities may introduce some such inconvenient and ridiculdits alterations as those referred to.—Herald. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ACROSS THE MERSEY.— We are informed that experiments are about to be tried on the Mersey.-with the yiesr , ofivarvying an electric telegraph line, across the river from Liverpool to Birkenhead. We hope that the dock authorities will now no longer delay to fulfil their long-entertained idea' of establishing wires northward along the shore to Formby, &c., and westward to Bidston. No question can ex i s t o f th e i m portance of such a measure, so largely calc u l a t e d as i t i s -t o re nder the existing mari ne telegraph effecti ve i n f ogg y weather. On the occurrence of a mist, or an east wind, Liverpool, under the existing system, is entirely prevented from obtaining intelligence of ships off the harbour, waiting steam, &c. ; and we trust the opportu nity will not now be permitted to lie unimproved. We be lieve the wire to be used will resemble that in use for the telegraph, across the British Channel.. --Liverpool Albion. SUPPOSED CHILD Muging:Yesterday , Mr. W. Baker, coroner, held an inquest at the Shakspere's Head, Shadwell, on the body of a male child, which was found with a cord tightly tied round the neck in the Thames. A lighter man named Millege early on Sunday morning found the body coating in the water; it was quite naked, and a strong cord was tightly fastened arouud the neck and under the knees, which were drawn up. Mr. Henry, a surgeon, said the child had been born alive, and ld lived some time; but whether it had died from strangulation or any other means he could not positively state. Verdict. Found dead in the river." SUSPECTED INCENDIABISM.—Yesterday afternoor, between two and three o'clock, a fire of rather a serious character broke' ont in the premises in the joint occupation of Mr. Child, a private gentleman, and Mr. Solomon Stern, an importer r f foreign cigars, in author-terrace, Hackney road. On the neighbours entering the building they found one of the rooms on the second floor, which was used as a warehouse and filled with cigars, in one mass of flame. The heat at that time was so intense that it was impossible to approach near the place to render the least assistance in checking the fury of the fire. The fl4mes speedily reached the roof, and were not extinguished until Mr. Stern's pro perty was nearly all destroyed, and the building partially gutted From an inspection since made it is the opinion of Mr. Stern that th e premises were wilfully fired. Fortu nately his loss will be covered by an insurance in the Scottish Union Fire Office. --- Yesterday Lord Fitzroy Somorset, as military secretary to his Grace the C om mander-in -Chief of her Ma jesty's Forces, held a levee at the Horse Guards, which was attended by the following officers: - Lieut. - General Sleigh, Admiral Sir G. M un dy, Lieut.-General G. Wright, Colonel Campbell, Mr. Mark Sprott, Lieut.-Colonel Hamilton, Sir Edward Disbrowe, Captain Campbell, Major Cairnes, Lieut.. Macqueer, Rev. Mr. 'Winniett, Lieut.-Colonel Macbean, Captain Elliott, Major Farr Ant, and about fittrother officers. Ail the accounts received of the progress of harvest operations in Ireland are highly satisfactory, and in many places the potato crop is said to show symptoms of reviving. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated st 4,C00 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export. The sales comprised about 3,500 American; 100 Egyptian, at F*l to 10d, and 300 Surat, at 5d to Gil per lb. The market closed stcadily.—The Share Market was animated, and closed firmly. There is a steady business doing in Colonial produce, and the great decrease ,ia the stccks of Sugar is ex pected to give strong support to the prices of that article. The quantity of English Wheat in Mark-lane to-day is small, but there are 6,170 qrs. of foreign. Advices from Copenhagen state that the ratifications of the treaty of peace between Denmark and Prussia and the Governments of Germany had been excharged there. A Hamburgh journalist writes that the Danish Gene ral Oxholen was on his way to London, and with the re ported intention of negotiating a new loan. At Amsterdam cn the 9th inst. Dutch Four per Cents. were rather higher, but the other denominations were without alteration. There was no charge in Spanish. Tte Two and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds were 571 to 3-16. Scientific men in the United States are turning their attention very generally to the consideration of the Lest mode of I ffecting a communication across Nicaragua, a sutject that has been discussed fur more than 300 years, and in a very elaborate statement made to the Ameri can Institution by the Charge d'Affaires to Central America, there are some highly important particulars. It is Chown, for example, that the great chain of the Cordilleras is wholly interrupted between the western extremity cf Lake Managua and the Pacific, and that there only exist the great plains of Leon and Concjo, rising for a distance of about 3,000 yards to an eleva tion of about 60 feet above the lake, thence subsid ing in a gentle slope to the ocean, and it is through this plain that the canal could pass. The length of the proposed line of communication for ships from sea—to -sea can only be determined by actual measurement, but the following calculations are made:— Length of River St. Juan ... ... 90 miles. Part of Nicaragua to be traversed ... 110 Length of Rio Tipitapa 18 Length of Lake Managua ... 50 From — Lake to ... 45 Total 303 cones. From this must be deducted 25 miles, in case the line is terminated at the Port of Tamarinds. In case it should terminate in the Gulf of Fonsece, it is probable it would not Le many miles longer than to Realijl; and in respect to the points to be attained, it would be nearer. The extent of 'actual canalization, therefore, would be to Realijo, 120 to 140 miles; to Tamarinds, 90 to 110; to Fons, ea, 100 to 120. _ _ It is said to be useless to enter in calculations respect ing the cost of the proposed work, for until there is a detailed survey of the entire line, it 'must be wholly a matter of conjecture. It has been variously estimated at from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 dolls. Assume it to coat 100,000,000 dollars; which may be as near the truth as any other calculation, still it is enough at present to know that it is posiible, and that its benefits, immediate and prospective, will be Sufficient to compensate for the expenditure of double that amount, startling as it may at first appear. It is, of course, impossible to calculate with anything more than approximate accuracy, the advantages which, upon the score of economy alone, would result to the world from the construction of the proposed canal. Mr. Squier mentioned at the American Institute a most interesting and important fact, not only as con nected with the proposed work, but with the whole Question of steam navigation to the Pacific, that a large bed of coal had been discovered in Sol Salvador, on the banks of the river 'Amps, about sixty miles from the Gulf of Fonseca. It is semi-bituminous in character, resembling the Mount Savage coal. He had sent speci mens to the Department of State, at Washington. In rtply to a question as to the probability of the proposed work, after its construction, being interfered with by volcanic agency, it was said that the volcanic farce seems to have nearly exhausted itself here many years ago, and that the permanent effects of volcanoes are generally essentially local, and have in nearly all instances been exaggerated. He anticipated no obsta cles or dangers on this score. The agitation of this great question having been commenced, we sincerely hope it will cease until there is a practical solution, al though the American Company, having a concession, will undertake a railway in preference to •a canal. The Stock Market is influenced mainly by the settle ment of the account, and prices have been somewhat firmer upon it. Consols have been 961 to for Transfer, and 96k for October 15. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 98} to 991, and the Three per Cents. 96j to 97*. There have been no transactions in Bank Stock, and India Stock has been quiet at 266. Exchequer-bills have bees marked 635. to 665., and India Bonds 83s. The Foreign Securities . have ruled rather flatter, as far as the speculative investments are concerned. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 18j and Portuguese Your per Cents, 34. Mexican Stock has been heavy at 29i I. It is mentioned in the Mexican accounts that the Government, being greatly pressed for money, had been compelled to negotiate a small loan, and to account for the decline in Spanish we may notice an article of a very Bearish character that appears in the Espana, received this morning from Madrid. Peruvian Bonds have been marked 81i, and Buenos Ayres 58k. Brazil Stuck has realised 92k. Austrian Bonds have been 83 to 83i, and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. 57i.

He forthwith gave an alarm, and the drags were immediately procured, and in about twenty minutes atter the body was got out and taken to the White Lion public-bouse, where the usual means were adopted to resuscitate the body, but without avail, life being quite extinct. Lou Or TWO BOATS AND THEIR CREWS.—During a gale of wind on the 29th ult., two boats belonging to Yell. in the Orkneys, while crossing Otter Sound, by some unac countable cause were swamped, and all on board, viz., four men and a boy, perished. - - VENTILATION OF THE COURTS OF LAW.---The Courts of Exchequer and Common Pleas at Westmirster are about to be ventilated by the steam jet. The arrangements are settled, and preparations are making by the office of Woods and Forests, under the direction of Mr. G. Gurney, Fresh air is to be brought in at a high level above the courts and the vitiated air withdrawn by a separate jet from each court. In winter they are to be warmed, and in summer cooled, by a peculiar application of this principle. The ar rangements to be carried out under the superintendence of Mr. William Clark, late of King's College. EXTRAORDINARY VISITATION OF FLIES.—On Mon day last, for two or three hours in the afternoon, Liskeard and its neighbourhood were visited by a prodigious multi tude of flies—the atmosphere swarmed, and the ground was strewed with them, in vast numbers. They appeared to be ant flies; a few without wings. How far they extended has not been correctly ascertained—it is eight miles to the east, and about sixteen to the west. During their continuance, the sky was beclouded till towards the evening, when the sun shone out, and they nearly all disappeared.--Devorport Telegraph, Y .3 , LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS Di..
