Elsewhere in our impression of this evening will be found a report of the very in teresting speeches deli ver ed upon this occasion—an occasion which would have been a subject fraught with very considerable attraction had Lord PALMER STON been simply a Member of the House of Commons, but which assumes to itself in the present instance a peculiar importance from the circumsnance of the Noble Lord's ministe rial position as her MAJESTY'S Principal Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. Throughout Eu rope not one of our statesmen is more generally dreaded by the more despotic administrations, and not one more earnestly respected by the liberal multitude. Throughout England, moreover, not one amongst our rulers has acquired a larger share of popularity ; and hence it is that the speech deli vered yesterday evening in the presence of his con stituents by the Noble Lord will be read far and wide with more than ordinary emotions of curiosity. The harangue will be found on examination to be one eminently befitting an assemblage of a political and yet, at the same time, of a convivial character, relating as it does in an agreeably discursive manner to most of the more enthralling topics of the day and connect ing them with each other by the tone of liberality in which they are alike particularised. Naturally and almost inevitably there was in the very commence ment of Lord PALMERSTON'S speech an allusion to the brilliant success attendant upon the opening of the Great Industrial Exhibition. From this sprang by necessity a warm eulogium upon its princely originator, an eulogium everywhere pro nounced and everywhere responded to with acclama tions. Speaking of the decorum visible among the vast multitude who have during the bygone summer visited the Crystal Palace in Hyde-park—a multitude, remember, consisting not alone of the residents in the metropolis and of visitors from the provinces, but numbering in its ranks an extraordinary proportion of foreigners, both from the eastern and the western he misphere—the Foreign Secretary, in a strain of very sim ple but on that account not less persuasive eloquence at tibuted the tranquillity displayed throughout that memorable gathering of the nations to the ameliorative influence of many gigantic improvements of a legis lative character. He mentioned with an air of pleasantry the surprise experienced by the majority of foreigners by seeing mingled with the concourse merely a sprinkling of a few civil policemen with each a bit of stick in his hand, instead of a glittering throng of soldiers, armed with sabres, muskets, and bayonets. Enumerating one by one the principal reforms introduced by Parliament during the past half century, Lord PALMERSTON crowned the whole catalogue with the sententious remark that to such laws as the Test and Corporation Acts, as the Act of Catholic Emancipation, as the Acts affecting the burden of tithes and mitigating several of the more stringent and unpopular kinds of taxation, or as those late Acts which have totally abolished the imposts upon food and liberated the entire system of naviga tion—that to such enactments is traceable the secret of the potence imparted to the little stick seen in the hand of the policeman ! The observation is one worthy of being conned well by the more reflective among our contemporaries on the continent. A wholesome reminder was vouchsafed last evening to the Protectionists, a reminder in the wisdom of which no incredulity would be expressed by the Hon. Gentleman the Representative of Buckinghamshire. When," said Lord PALMERSTON, addressing his constituents, "you see the river Ex running up from the sea to Tiverton, instead of running down from Tiverton to the sea, you may then look upon it that Protection is near at hand." A somewhat more ex plicit reference to the peace apostles we should have preferred on the part of the Foreign Secretary. It would have warmed the hearts of those listening t o him to have heard the men in whose mouths butter melteth not correctly characterized by Viscount PALM . CRSTON—those infatuated philanthropists who while the world is being stunned with the roar of can nonading, while the streets of Paris, of Vienna, of Buda, of Frankfort, and of Palermo were running with the blood of their citizsns, could dream, seriously and deliberately, of the immediate advent of the time when " Thts tender infant in its hand shall tako Tho created basilisk and speckled snake." Turning, however, from these good natured but fan tastic personages to others of a more important cha racter, the Noble Lord alluded next to these per nicious arguments which tend to render the labouring classes discontented with their social position. En larging upon the necessity of toil, he exclaimed, "There may be some other planet, or there may be some land in this planet hitherto undiscovered, like that lubber laud, that fabulous land of which we have heard, where it is said that pigs run about ready roasted with knives and forks sticking in their backs, crying Come and eat me,' but unless in some fa voured region of that kind, it is plain that men must labour for their existence." Insisting upon the same truth as universally applicable among all classes of society, Sir BULWER LYTTON has, in his latest "Novel," given us that beautiful sermon of Parson DALE, enforcing the text, " Each man shall bear his own burthen"—a text taken from Galatians. Of the veracity of that inspired declara tion, we conceive that the career alike of author and statesman afford sufficiently emphatic testimony. Yet with the lot of all humanity the systematic dis turbers of public tranquillity would, if possible, dis gust the industrial multitude. Hence the disor ganization of so many of the states of Europe. Hence, however, happily no dis organization hitherto amongst ourselves. It is consequently with a certai❑ feeling of satisfaction that a statesman like Lord PALMERSTON finds himself commenting upon those poisonous doctrines of So cialism which have heretofore proved powerless in England in provoking a general sentiment of dis satisfaction. Happily, if gloomy in some few par ticulars, the social and political psition of Great Britain presents a cheering spectacle to her states• men, and, amongst them all, that spectacle is not the least welcome to Viscount PALMERSTON, to the influ ence of whose administrative genius much of our na tional prosperity is attributable. The trial of Wir.Lram WEALE, alias "Brother FR ~ NCIS," which took place yesterday at the G uild hall, Westminster, attracted a numerous audience. It would appear as if the practice of "flagellation" were becoming fashionable, and that the amateurs of that noble amuTement were anxious to ascertain how far they could indulge in their amiable predilection with celDPArAtive impunity, and escape, on the ran occasions when they might be called to public ac count fur their conduct, with the imposition of trifling fines. " The sickly sentimentalists," as those ob jecting to undue corporal punishment are facetiou.sly termed, had succeeded in abolish ing the good old practice of " flogging at the cart's tar for any trifling infraction of the law. But, fortunately, although the public use of "the cat-o'- nine tails" bia fallen into abeyance, there are many of " the great •unpaid " who omit no opportunity of re sorting to if privately, and directing the administra tion of the lash within the precincts of the gaol cn every possible occasion, and that not only on juvenile culprits, but on full-grown bearded men, who might erroneou sly be; supposed to have out-grown such gentle methods of persuasion and correction. It had also been to the horror and dismay of some fine old i nartinets, if not totally abandoned in the army, at least so greatly reduced, both in quantity and quality, as to lead to gloomy vaticinations on the part of thof e gallant veteran: as to the future enforce.. rent of en ilitary discipline. That " the, service was going to the d-1," was a point which apparently admitted of, no dispute, since it was no longer possible to destroy physically and morally the suldie:r, who had been guilty of the most trivial offence. Those gentlemen who had, perhaps, never trod " the tented field"—who had never emelt gun powder, save at reviews at Hounslow or Woolwich, who had spent their lives in merely " playing at sol diers," and who thought that the perfection of mili tary skill:consisted in keeping " d—d tight hands" over the men under their command, ventured to sneer at the hero of Meeanee and Hyderabad, and to cavil at a "NAPIER" for advocating the total aboli lition of the degrading and infamous penalty, save on actual service in the face of an enemy, or in the colonies where, on rare occasions, it might be re quired. The decadence of the practice in the army is, however, in some degree compensated by the fact that it still flourishes in rich luxuriance in the other branch of the service, and that not only any captain in,the Royal Navy, but any person holding a tempo rary command, may order the administration of some dozens of lashes at his mere will and plea sure, and that without any trial, or, indeed, any real cause beyond the momentary caprice of the judge. This is, indeecl, a glorious consolation ; but the band of innovation is busy even there, and it is by no means impossible that " flog ging in the Navy" may, ere long, receive " a heavy , blow and great discouragement" through the exer tions of " those vile philanthropists who affect to feel a morbid sympathy for human suffering." There was, however, one stronghold from which they could not be routed. Legions of schoolmasters stood firm to the ancient faith, and " plied the busy rod " with unceasing assiduity. The mantle of COLERIDGE'S Philomallz had descended on many worthy successors—men who, as the poet described, would, while conveyed away by cherubim?, have inevitably attempted to flog some one or more of their angelic bearers, if such an act were not ren dered physically impossible by their peculiar conforma tion, or who, with the pedagogue of poor Toss Hoop, would feel the bitterest regret, because the pit to which he was condemned was " bottomless." But even that "fortress " had been invaded. Sundry good men and true bad been brought before magistrates to answer for administering excessive punishment, but there were still worthies on the bench who thought that " youths ought with more than Spartan fortitude to rejoice in receiving the heaviest corporal chastisement for the honour of the academies of which they were pupils." Such was the view of Mr. TYRWULTT, who either dismissed the cases brought before him, or inflicted such petty fines as to afford practical encouragement to similar acts. Mr. COME had, however, evinced a very dif ferent spirit. That gentleman felt when WEALE (name most appropriate) was brought before him, that his powers were utterly inadequate to deal with a case of so aggravated a character. He accordingly sent it to the sessions to ba dealt with, and yesterday was the time fixed for the trial. The facts, which were established beyond the possibility of doubt, are already familiar to the public, so that a brief recapitulation is all that will be required. It appeared that cries bad often been heard from the school, but that on the 21st of July last they were of such a character that a person named lIINCBLEY, a respectable cab-proprietor—who is deserving of the highest credit for bis conduct on the occasion—went to the place, and called to the persons inside the building to desist. " When he arrived at the door he saw a child who was outside of the school in a crouching position. Saw the child's legs were much scarified from the ancle to the thighs. His back was like raw beef. Tne child appeared exhausted, and had been so severely punished that he could not stand. There were marks on him as thick as his (v. itness's) finger. Upon seeing them he kicked at the school room door. The wounds were blue and black on the legs. When he had kicked at the door the defendant came out dressed in his robes, with beads and a large cross upon him. Witness inquired how he had come to use a poor child like that, and he inquired in reply what business that was of his. The Rev. Mr. LET TON, who was at his elbow, called him to account for his conduct and the cruelty to the child, and told him that if he heard any more of it be should call the attention of the magistrates to . it; but witness said that he would do so now, and immediately sent for a police man. Defendant said he had chastised the child for not coming to catechism, and then said it was for lying and for stealing a paint-brush. The policeman coming up, the defendant asked permission to go and change his robes, but contrived to make his escape at the back of the school. He was eventually taken in Charlton-terrace, and conveyed before Mr. Cosine, the magistrate, who heard the charge, and the defendant was bound over in recogniatnces. The unfortunate victim was a child of six year.; of age, and the instrument of torture by which he had been assailed was a gutta percha whip, wielded by the brawny arm of a powerful man. Mr. HUDDLE STONE, a surgeon, examined the child on the 29th of July. He lifted his petticoats and saw that the pos terior part of his person was black to a considerable extent. His thigh on the right side was full of cuts, long and deep, and in some instances they were half an inch wide, side by side, and interlacing each other. In seven instances the skin was destroyed. There were several stripes across the loins. He believed that they were produced by such a whip as that pro duced, and that the blood had been drawn by the skin coming against the fertile. The marks he had seen indicated great violence." Such was the description of the injuries by the medi cal witness, a description sufficient to excite a thrill of horror through the crowded court. But, although the case was clearly established in the police-court, the defendant (who we rejoice to say is not, as alleged, a clergyman of the Roman Catholic or any other persuasion) was continued in his situation, and that he had not made any change in his system from the jeopardy in which he was placed, or learned any salu tary lesson from the magisterial lecture, may be known from the facts stated;, by Mr. PARRY, that " the cries of children had been frequent from the same school." since the hearing before Mr. CO MBE. After a patient and impartial investigation the jury found the defendant guilty of an assault, and he was sentenced by Sergeant ADAMS to three months' imprisonment. Although we feel this punishment is scarcely adequate to the offence, it will still, we trust, act as a wholesome warning to others against abusing their powers, or perpetrating such acts of cold-blooded and inhuman cruelty. DEATH OF MR. FIELD, OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. —This morning, at eight o'clock, Mr. Francis Field, aged 62 years, who received such serious injuries on Friday morning last, expired in the accident ward of St. Thomas's Hospital, after very great suffering. Mr. M‘Murdu and his assistant (Mr. Te.inby) rendcrdd every possible aid to the unfortunate gentleman, but no hopes were given of his recovery from the time of his admission. The deceased had been many years in the Power of Attorney-office, at the Bank of England, and was highly connected. Mr. W. Payne, the c , roner, will hold an inquest on the body to morrow (Friday) evening. TAXES.—There is no ten per cent. or any amount of per centage upon the inhabited home tax, nor the property and income-tax, why, then, not take it off the other assessed taxes, namely, servants, horses, carriages, horse dealers, hair powder, armorial bearings, and game certificates? It is but just that such per-centage should be struck °ff....From a Correspondent. RUSSIAN PGTATOES.—The vessel Tropic, from St. Petersburgh, has brought 200 packages of potatoes, the growth and produce of Russia. The vessel in which this iroportatin took place belongs to the United Stater. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They are almost exclusively filled with the ac counts of the death of LOPEZ, received through the London papers of Tuesday. His widow is at present in Paris. She has been separated from him for a long time. She belongs to a wealthy family of Cuba. The Minister of the Interior entered Rheims with extraordinary pomp. The archbishop turned cut at the head of the clergy, the National Guards and all the functionaries turned out, and the Minister entered the town with a salute of thirteen guns, accompanying him to the church, the bells ringing in his ears as he was led to the Prefecture. He held a levee, and reviewed the National Guards, and left amidst another salvo of artillery. There is a rather remarkable article in the Pays, by M. DE LAMARTINE, on the question of the candi dateship for the presidency of the Republic. It is proper to state, however, that M. DE LAMARTINE speaks in his own name only, not in that of the Pays, for he declares that his collaborateurs are all free to express their own opinions, and in their own way. lle disapproves of every name that has been brought for ward as yet for the Presidency, and assigns the mo tives of his objections; but, supposing the constitu tional re-election of LOUIS NAPOLEON to be possible, he would prefer him to any of the candidates who have been mentioned, notwithstanding his repulsion for the name of BONAPARTE, because he thinks that with LOUIS NAPOLEON there would be the greatest chance of maintaining the Republic. The PRESIDENT went on Friday to the Hospital of Val-de.Grace, to see the two artillerymen who were so dreadfully wounded recently in the exercise at Vincennes. lle expressed to them his deep regret for the calamity that had occurred, and made them a present of 200 E, with a promise to do something per manent for their benefit. During his visit a blind soldier, who had been in the hospital 45 years, was presented to the PRESIDENT, who generously pre sented him with 200 f. His Royal highness Don HENRY of Spain, and his wife, the Duchess of SEVILLE, have arrived in Paris, and alighted at the Hotel des Princes, to remain until after the accouchement of the Princess. The illessager says— " Capital was never more abundant than it is now. On the 16th of this month the purchase of Rentes at the Bourse amounted to 340,000 f. for money; on the 17th, 170,0001.; on the 18th, 75,000 E; and on the 20th, 151,0001.; making a total of 683,0001., which, at 91f., represents a capital of 12,430,600 f." The Bourse reporter of the Sieicle says—" Never during the most shameful stock-jobbing under the last reign, has the Bourse been subjected to scheming of all kinds, financial, political, and agitating." The sums paid into the Paris Savings Bank during the past week amounted to 322,629 f. from 2,064 de positors ; and the sums drawn out to 474,279 f. Colonel CousToN, who was President of the court martial which tried GENT and the other conspirators at Lyons, has been promoted to the rank of Comman der in the,Legion of honour. The I3ourse was more firm than for some days past.

They announce that the English and French Go vernments have given orders to their squadrons in the West Indies to oppose by force any further at tempts at the invasion of Cuba, putting themselves for this purpose in accord with the Spanish authorities. This latter statement has given great satisfaction, and Lord PALMERSTON is pronounced to have acted in this affair with good faith and energy. The success of the Government in obtaining such support is lauded, as redounding highly to their credit, by the Ministerial journals. The French Government had already offered their support in a most decided man ner, whilst onr own Government appeared to hold back ; but a favourable change has taken place as regards Spanish interests, and the Admiralty have ordered the squadron under Admiral SEYMOUR to act along with the Spanish and French squadrons in watching for piratical attacks. Considerable rein forcements are being dispatched for the llavannah. One thousand soldiers and forty Paixhana guns have already arrived in Cadiz, destined for the defence of Cuba. It appears that all the temporary " leaves of absence" granted to four men in each company have been suspended. Orders of recall have been given to all naval officers. These steps have resulted from the late aggressions on Cuba. MADRID BoLsa, SEPT. 19.—The Three per Cents, were done at 351 for time ; the Four per Cents., at 13; ; the Five per Cents. at 161 ; the Debt without Interest at 6 3.16; and the Coupons at 81. PORTUGAL. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Madrid, C sptain JOHN Wenes, arrived yester dly morning at Southampton, and landed mails. Her da'es of sailing were as follow :—Gibraltar, Sept. 15th ; Cndiz, 16th ; Lisbon, 19th ; Oporto, 20,,b, and Vigo, 20th. Some uneasiness is felt about the yellow fever at Oporto, although it does not seem to have attacked any other persons than those who came into contact with the infected vessels ; but the Government acted so disingenuously in denying the statement of the existence of the disease, that no relinace can be placed on their official reports. With strange inconsistency they declare almost every day, in the Diario do Go• verno, that the city of Oporto is in a very healthy state, and that there is no cause for alarm ; and then order all vessels coming from that city to be subjected to a quarantine of observation for eight days. Public attention is much engrossed by the regis tration of voters and the preparation for the general election. A political manifest has been published by the Septembristas, in an extremely moderate tone; nothing is breathed but a modest deference to the royal wishes. A sale of a number of vessels of war, amounting to eleven in all, has been advertised by the blinister of Marine for the 30th inst. Galling as it may be to the national pride to see their navy thus disappearing from the seas, there is no doubt that this is both a prudent and economical measure, as none of these vessels are worth the cost cf repairing. Both navy and army require to be reduced within the lowest possible limits; and this might be gradually effected without impairing their real efficiency. Sir RICHARD PAKENHANI has addressed a note to the Portuguese Government, to claim for British sub jects exemption from the very obnoxious tax of three shillings, levied on all passengers, on entering any harbour. The natives have been recently relieved from this burden, and our Minister very properly insists upon our right to be placed on an equal foot ing. It would be desirable to have the whole system of passports revised or abolished. Several shocks of an earthquake have been felt in this city, and in different parts of the Alemtejo, and some slight damage has been caused. GERMANY. The Austrian public functionaries have com menced taking the oath according to the new form. In this formula the passage is omitted which refers to the constitution, and the functionaries only take the oath of allegiance to the KING and to the States. A letter from the EMPEROR announces that every functionary who shall refuse to take the oath shall immediately resign office. B iron VRINTZ, Austrian Ambassador to Copen hagen, has arrived in Vienna, and has had several in terviews with Prince ScaIwAuzENBEEG• A sketch of the Hungarian campaign, from the commencement to the taking of the command by Field-Marshal WELDEN, his just been published. Prince WINDISCHGRATZ is said to be the author of this highly-interesting document. TURKEY• KOSSUTH and the few staunch followers who were in Kutaya with him have quitted Constantinople. They left the Dardanelles on board the American steam-frigate the Mississippi, the 7th instant, and arrived at Smyrna on the 12th inst. Sir STRATFORD CANNING and Mr. LAVALETTE proceeded to the Dardanelles, on board her MA JESTY'S steamer the Growler, to congratulate the illustrious exile on his departure. Rumours are afloat of serious disturbances having broken out at Van, in Asia Minor, towards the latter end of last month. The Christian population, com posed mostly of Armenians, had, it is said, raised the standard of revolt, and attacked the Mussulmans, who number about 20,000. The number in killed and wounded is extensive, and were it not for FAIIATEL BEY, the Kurdish chief, who came to re. store order, the massacre would have been awful. The city has been pillaged end part of it destroyed by fire, ' the work of incendiaries. The dispute between the Christians and Mussulmans arose on account of the former having adopted balls for their churches. It is probably due to the mischievous and secret workings of Russian agents, who, subsequent to the recent events at Aleppo, are overrunning the country, and exciting the inhabitants to revolt against the autho rity of their Mussulman rulers. By this means they are riveting thEmselvs into sympathy with the Christians, of whom they can make no possible use, except to subvert the Ottoman empire. ---- - The Montreal Gazette mentions that the flag of England was publicly burned on the public square of that city when the news was received that the Queen had signed the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. ultxTrszt RAILWAYS.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6.000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken for export. The sales comprised 4,500 American, 450 P,r mam and Maranham, at 41. to Bd.; 70 Bahia, at 6d.; 200 Egyptian, at 6cl. to Bd.; and 700 Surat, at 2i, to 4d. per lb. The market was quiet, but closed firmly.— In Railway Shares a good business was done, generally at higher prices. The Produce Markets continue to bo moderately sup plied with goods, but there is no particular activity. The following information upon the Dried Fruit trade is afforded by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson:— " The Fruit trade 11::,s opened this season with much apathy, and an indisposition to purchase. This is at tributed by some to the heavy stock of old Fruit held by dealers; by others, and probably with reason, to the effects of the cheap excursion trains from the provinces to the metropolis, which aro known to have much in terrupted the routine of affairs in the country, and to have unhinged the minds of those engaged in trade. The usual general demand will in that case set in some weeks later than in former seasons. An abundant har vest, full employment for operatives, and cheap pro.. visions cannot fail to produce in duo time an extensive demand." The creditors of Messrs. Castelli, Guistinieni, and Co., held a meeting yesterday, at the offices of Messrs. Oli verson, Lavie, and Co., to receive a statement upon the affairs of the house. Mr. J. E. Coleman submitted the balance-sheet, of which the principal items are as fol lows : CASTELLI AND CO. X s. d. To bills payable, uncovered To bills payable, less goods To creditors, on open accounts 10,854 2 11 To creditors, on accounts current hold- ing security To liabilities on bills receivable on uc count of Rucker and Sons 30,520 14 7 53,100 0 0 Per contra. 206,686 5 6 Cr. 1,960 15 11 By debtors good By surplus from merchandize hypo thecated By surplus from goods held by creditors as security 4,073 0 0 By sundry Property 1,339 3 11 7,628 0 0 150,000 19 0 This is just about suffilient to pay ls. 61. in the pound; but if the produce in the hands of parties who have made advances, but who cannot sell without the consent of the creditors generally, should realise better prices than those current a week or ten days back, when the estimate wes made up, there may be an increase of assets. Mr. Castelli estimates the property as being likely to yield 2s. 6d. in the pound. In either case the result is miserable enough, and if the estate be forced into the Bankruptcy Court, as some of the creditors threaten, we can pretty well guess the issue, seeing there is produce hypothecated to the amount of 500,0001 And yet the capital of the firm was but 35,0001. two years ago, and every partner had gone out except Mr. Castelli, prior to September, 1850, after having lost all the money placed in the firm. The question will arise whether they are not liable for the debts up to that date, but as they reside in Italy and are foreigners, there may be very little use in trying the question if great (lit:lieut. ties arise. The great losses of the firm appear to have been upon corn, cotton, silk, ard coffee, imported in 1850. The following resolutions were adopted by the creditors : " 1. That Mr. Whately, cf the firm of La Breton, Whatcly, and Co., and Mr. William Kettlewell, of the lonian Bank, be requested to he inspectors, with power to appoint a third inspector, 2. That a deed of arrangement be prepared with proper provisions for the winding up the affairs under the above-mentioned inspectors, end or securing the due liquidation and the early distribution of the assets, pro rata, amongst the creditors, and according to the rules of administration in bankruptcy, and containing a covenant by Mr. Castelli to carry on such liquidation under the inspectors, and covenant on the part of the creditors not to sue Mr. Castelli for twelve months, and that the inspectors shall have power to enlarge that time if they shall deem it necessary, and that at the expira tion of finch period, or of such enlarged period, and upon Mr. Castelli assigning the outstanding assets to trustees for distribution among the creditors, he shall be releaseable from all claim. The deed shall also contain snob after provisions as aro usual in deeds of inspector ship, and as shall be approved of by the inspectors on behalf of the creditors. "3. That creditors, according to this arrangement, shall not be prejudiced as to any securities or liens they may be entitled to, or as to their rights against third parties. "4. That the signature of this memorandum and of the deed of arrangement shall not prejudice the rights, remedies, or position of soy creditor against or in re spect of the parties at any time members of the firm of Castelli, Guistiniani, and Co. " 5. That the inspectors may be at liberty, if they shall think fit, to release to Mr. Cuetelli his furniture and such other private property at his residence as they may think fit. "6. That in the meantime, until the deed of arrange ment shall be executed, a copy of these resolutions may be submitted to the creditors, and shall form a memo randum of arrangement for the administration of the affairs. " 7. The thanks of the meeting to the chairman were then moved by Mr. Cunliffe, and eeeonded by Mr. Chapman, and voted unanimously." The Committee received this morning the following communication from Mr. Lord, their agent, dated "La Guayrs, Aug. 26th, 1851. " To the foregoing copy of my last of the 9th instant I have little to add, for, although the Minister told Mr. Rojas on the 21st, that the next day he would reply to my note of the 20th of June, even if the Council of Government had not come to any decision on the agreement, nothing has reached me since, either from the Minister or from Mr. Rojas, and in a couple of hours I must close the present.
