The close of the world's file of Industry is fixed for the 11th of October. Ou that day the Crystal Palace will shut its doors, and the Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, after a career of success as unprecedented as the Exhibition itself, and as the palace in which it was contained, will cease ; the World's Fair will be over. The consequences, however, of this magnificent and glorious work will last, and produce a beneficial and humanizing effect for ages to come on the various nations who have taken part in this great congress of the world's best men. Friendships have been formed among men of different climes, pro fessing different religions an living under different Governments, which cannot be broken. No longer will the calumnies with "iiio-A every free nation (and more particularly our own) have been of late years assailed by those who hate industry because it leads to self-reliance and self-government, obtain credence. No! will be the reply of our visitors, we have seen the land, we have conversed with its people, and we know, therefore, that you say the thing which is not. War is a gam. which, were their subjects wise, litogs would not play at;' and this peaceful assemblage of the industrious and talented of all nations is, of all things, calcu lated to bestow upon men that wisdom which is so much lauded by the poet. Prince ALBERT is the real Apostle of Peace, and the Great Exhibttion the only real and genuine Peace Congress. The success of this great work has been so complete that none have ventured to deny it; but certain grumblers have contended that the trade of the metropolis has suffered in consequence. On this point we join issue with the grumblers. That the exaggerated, not to say impossible, expectations of certain very sanguine and very greedy persons have not been realised, we readily admit; but we contend that more, much more money has been spent in London than during any former season since 1814, and, what is better still, the expenditure, instead of being concentrated in the hands of a few wealthy aristocrats of the shop ocracy, bas been expended among a large number of small traders, and has thus afforded a greater sti mulus to general industry and diffused a larger amount of comfort among a greater number of reci pients. Taken as a whole the Exhibition is unparalleled in the history of human industry ! The idea of establishing such an Exhibition was as original as it was gr-at, the magLitudt. , and beauty of the Exhibi tion-building was as unprecedented as the idea of the Exhibition, and the Exhibition itself surpassed in beauty the most exaggerated expectations, whilst its success outran the fondest hopes of the most san guine of its projectors. Prince ALBERT has acquired for himself an immortality which the proudest monarchs and the most successful conquerors might envy. He is the first Prince who has ever linked his name indissolubly with the progress of industry all over the world—the only progress that can secure to the nations " Peace on earth and good-vi ill to wards men." " What are you doing, JoaN ?" said a master to his s.rvant. " Nothing, Sir." '' And you, THOMAS ?" " Htlping JoaN, Sir" For the last two years the Board of Health and the Board of Sewers have been the JOHN and the THOMAS of the British public. Tne excellent members of these Boards have talked more diffusely than did, according to MUSTAPHA RUB• A•DUB KEELI KHAN, even the Congress of the United States of America ; th-y have reported upon all ima ginable subjects, recommended the adoption of all sorts of plans, possible and impossible, di-courssd as learnedly on stinks as though they bad studied the euhject practically in the city of Cologne, where, ac cording to SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE, seventy six distinct and separate stinks may be discovered b) even an uneducated nose, in the course of a walk of half a mile ; they have told us we were poi soned by the foulness of our drains, poisoned by the . foulness of the water supplied to us by the water com panies, stifled in consequence of the ill-ventilated state of our habitations ; they have reported all this and much more, and then re-reported and then re published the re-report in another form, but they have absolutely done nothing. Those filthy cesspools and choked drains, which twe years since we were told had, if not produced, at least aggravated, the cholera, which was at that time raging to a fearful extent, still continue as filthy and as choked as though no Board of Health had ever de nounced them. The Theme+, which ought to be a source of health to the inhabitants living on its banks, by supplying them with an in exhaustible supply of pure water and of pure air, is a fil t hy polluted stream of stinking sewage, generat ing malaria through its whole course, and propagat ing pestilence as it goes along. The water supplied by the water companies, which two years since was declared by the Board of Health to be unfit for use, and in many cases absolutely poisonous, is still sup plied in quantities as scanty, and of quality as dole terious ; and bete we have the cholera again making its appearance, and finding us quite as unprepared to resist its attacks as we were two years since, notwithstanding the Bard of Health, which declared at the time that cho lera was a disease the approach of which might, by the proper adoption of sanitary measures, be abso. lutely prevented, has been sitting ever since, and has had nothing to do but to devise measures for such prevention. We have said the cholera is approach ing, and we found our statement upon the weekly re turn of the Regi - trar-General just published. The deaths in London have risen from 873 in the third week in July to 1,061 last week. In the correspond ing week of 1849, when the cholera was at its height, the deaths were 2,230, but the deaths during the last week are more numerous than during any corres ponding week of the last ten years, with the exception of the years 1847 and 1849. Of these deaths 156 were from diarrheas, which has been progressively increasing for the last six weeks, and 28 from cholera, which has also been progressively increasing, from 9 six weeks since, up to 28 last week. There is, perhaps, no occasion for immediate alarm ; and if the Board of Health did its duty, and exercised the power which it possesses, of insiqing on th e pri per dra i nage of houses an d on th e immediate cl..sing of all the metropolitan grave) ards, the probability is that we should have no very serious in- 1 creme of the Peetillauct i but whil s t th e B oar d o f Health 1 THE LONDON, suifers such a ktate of things to remain as the Regis trar. General reports is at this moment existing in Taylor's-place, William •street, Borough, we cannot be entirely without apprehension. Mr. ELLIOTT, the registrar of the district, thus describes the present state of Tax lox's-place, in his remarks on the case of a child who died there of scarlatina msligna : " Taylor's-place comprises three small houses in a yard, the entrance to which is in William-street, but there is no thoroughfare. A boy aged 7 years, brother of the deceased, died is the same house on the 2,1 August of remittent fever and pneumonia. The statement of the mother, when giving information on Friday regarding nuisances by which the occupiers have repeatedly been annoyed, appeared so extraor dinary that I requested that it should be made in writing, and have accordingly received the accom panying letter from her husband : '•' About six or seven weeks ago a watercloset to our yard was opened for the purpose, as was said, of making a drain. It was found full; and ins , ead of being emp tied properly by a nightman, a considerable quantity of the soil was removed in open day past our door, and de posited in a watercloset common to the three houses composing Taylor's-place, in one of which I reside. A few days afterwards a part of our yard was taken up, and a further quantity of the soil deposited two or three feet below the surface (in spite of remonstrance) and covered over; and had not the police interfered, a much larger quantity would have been laid there, although opposite and within two or three yards of my win dow. On the sth o f A ugust, i n a remar k a bl y s h ort time, during the temporary absence of my wife, the ground under my door was opened in search of a drain, .ugh my son was at that time lying dead; but on returning from my employment, tilicling the place in such a s ate, I immediately filled it up. Twu days afterwards it was opened again (as also a further portion of the yard) and kept open, to no purpose, for two days; when, through the interference of some one, it was up. I have had the whole of my tour chil dren danger usly ill almost at the same time, and two of them have died. My son was carried off two or three se...elis ago, after an illness ut less than 24 hours; his sister is lying dead, and the eiclubt boy is now ell. 1 firmly believe this calamity has happened inconsequence or what I have stated above; and I should be glad, fur .he sake of others, if some friend would take the trouble of putting the case in train I'r . inquiry. Since writing the above I am informed that the naedical gentleman who attended my children has confirmed my suspicion regarding the true cause of thi it I have visited the spot, and been informed that a woman living in another house bus been ill ever since the occur r,,nce to which the statement ref•rs." What shall we say of the vigilance of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY and hi, Thard if they were ignorant of the state of Taylor's-place ? What of that activity and zealous attention to the performance of their du ties, of which the Noble Earl made such boast the other day in the Hou-e of Peers, if, knowing the ex istence of this foul officina of pestilence, they supinely suffered it to remain ? At all events here is such a strong prima facie case against the Board as to render it the duty of the Government to authoritatively call upon them fur an explanation, and should that explanation be unsatisfactory, or should the Board continue its present do-nothing course, we hope the Minister will infuse a little new blood into it by placing at its head a thorough practical man of busi ness, who will enforce upon his colleagues the neces sity of reporting a great deal less and doing a great deal more. It is time that the philanthropic talker wade way for the active worker. Some time since we directed the public attention to the proceedings of the Bears of the Stock Ex change with reference to railway property. Shares in the moat eligible companies were depreask-d to little more than one-half of their real value. Sinister ru wours were industriously circulated for the purpose of terrifying bond _fide holders, and inducing them to send their stuck into the market to be disposed of at any price that the not very tender consciences of the ursine fraternity might deem it right to offer. Mean while persons, who were not perhaps the owners of a single share, were selling thousands of pounds' worth with the most reckless indifference as to the mode in which they could perform their portions of the con • tracts if their speculations should prove unprofitable, and the purchasers should demand the actual de livery and transfer of the stock. They tru,ted, in tact, to bringing t he property still lower, and being enabled to pocket considerable differences, utterly careless of the ruin they might bring on many faint• lies, who, if induced by fear or necessity to part with their shares, would be deprived of at least half their fortunes. WEDNESDAY EVENING, should have been realised, on account of the Exhibi tion and the extraordinary stimulus thereby afforded to railway traffic; and if we only get 5f per cent. now, how can we hope to maintain the same rate when the Crystal Palace has been removed or con verted to another purpose ?" The answer to this is equally simple. The Exhibition has unquestionably increased the receipts largely, as will appear by the next half•yearly accounts ; but a very small portion of it-e-what in fact was realised in Jane (in May there was nothing doing)—came into the present account, and that was more than absorbed by the extraordinary preparations that were rendered necessary, all of which were charged against the revenue of the present half•year, while their fruits are in course of realiza tion, and will be distributed in the spring. We be lieve we may safely assert that the last half•year's revenue was rather injured than improved by the opening of the Exhibition. This ground of objection is, therefore, removed from under the feet of the ca villers. The dividend after the rate of 5f per cent. per annum we regard as being fully as safe as the dividends in the public funds, and indeed we shall feel considerable disappointment if a gradual improve ment be not perceptible ere many years have elapsed. We may say the same of the other great lines which have maintained their usual rate of dividend ; we trust, at all events, that any alarm which may have been entertained by our readers will be allayed, and that shareholders will not consent to make undue sacrifices through any foolish and unwarranted timidity. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Tours and Nantes Railway was opened wish great ceremony on Sunday. The Minister of Public Woiks was present, end in the course of his speech apologised for the absence of the PUESIDENT of the Republic. Serious disturbances have t.ken place in Ardeche, for which the celebration of the festivals of the Church were made the occasion. The Prefect has in consequence issued the following proclamation : " INHABITANTS OF THE ARRONDISSEMENT OF LAR• 1 34 K IN 5% 17 16% AT 'ASS. GENTIERE. "During the last month your arrondissement has been the theatre of serious disorders; each votive fête has been marked by attempts at murder. At Oiguac and at Labastade cries menacing death have been uttered; at Laurac eight gendarmes, drawn into an odious snare, wh. n assailed by upwards o , 400 insurgents at once, who wounded them all ly, have owed th , .ir safety to their courage. These facts are not isolated ; they are connected with a vast system of agitation ; the hand of the*e m e n shows itself in all dlrt mums, these votive _tiles a fford them pre text for these weetings, at which they organize scenes of disorder and murder. To the present I have re spemed y our old customs ; I could not without pain de bar you of your amusements, but in presence of such events hesitation is no longer permitted. You will find attached hereto a decree by widch such ites are inter dieted during the months of August, September, Oc tober, and November, 1851. Good citizens will hail this measure with joy--they will cull to mind that these fetes bring desolation into numerous families, and they will cheerfully sacrific- some pleasures for sake of the public peace.

MADItID BOLS 4, AUG. 14.--The Three per Cents. were dine at 361 for time ; the Four per Cents. at 151 ; the Five per Cents. at 17i; the Debt without loterest at 6i ; and the Coupons at Bfr. They succeeded but too well for some time. There was a market constantly falling—prices sinking day after day, until at length they succeeded in depreciating the quotations in the leading trunk lines to an almost ridiculous extent. A panic was excited, and nothing appeared too absurd ; the good shared the fate of the had, and North-Wssterns, Great Westerns, South- Westerns, South-e averns were alike peppered by the indefatigable Bears. We exerted ourselves to the utmost to resist their machinations, and we are happy to say that our efforts were not altogether un successful. We explained the nature of the trans actions, showed that more than nine-tenths of the sales were merely nominal, and emphatically cautioned 1 all bona fide holders against allowing their fears to obtain the mastery of their reason, so as to induce tnem to submit to such serious sacrifices as a transfer of stock at that time would have rendered inevitable. The prudence of this advice soon became apparent. Timid !sellers no longer rushed madly forward to sell et any price that could be obtained, while capitalists became anxious to make investments on the very favourable terms that could be obtained. The Bears were caught in their own traps, and were compelled to disgorge a considerable portion of their ill-gotten gains before they could succeed in extricating them selves from the untoward positions in which they were placed. The shares of the London and North- ITA L 1 . Western Company, which had been quoted in April, The Piedmontese workmen, who are to visit the 1850, at and below p ir, rapidly rose to 127 or 128.

The Borsenhalle of Harnburgh states that the Austrian Government claims from that of Denmark an indemnity of eight milli ons o f florins (rather more than 16 millions of francs) for its intervention in Holstein.

The horses of his carriage took fright and ra❑ away. but were fortunately stopped in time to prevent any injury to his MAJESTY; the carriage, however, was so much broken that the KING had to return to his palace on foot.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 1,000 on specula tion. The market was very firm, and American were 11. per lb. higher; all other kinds without alteration.— Share Market wws dull, and prices suffered a fur ther conbiderable decline. There are numerous sales to-day in the Produce Markets. The rates at which bills of exchange, dated 90 days, wen* negotiated yesterday afternoon upPn the principal coutineural ciiiei , were all higher, Pule being at 25 25 to 30, AmstPrdain at 11 18 to Dili, Hamburgh at 13 8 to 81, and Trieste at 11 45 to 59. result of the meeting of the Spanish Bond holders we stated yesterday, and we find upon inquiry that it appears to give satisfaction. It is quite true, nevertheless, that tnere are many parties who would have preferred an indignant rdection of the con fiscatory plan etnuedied in the law which M. Bravo Mu rillo has induced the Cortes to sanction, but these par ties are either wealthy or do not perhaps consider that the whole case is surrouuded with difficulties. If they can afford to wait, the miserable families who have fur years existed upon a mere pit tance, are not iu the same happy position, and therefore will, however reluctantly, come into the unjust compromise. The general remark is that the debtor is dishonest and inseasihle to the high tone of moral feeling that obtains among other European countries, conse quently it is wiser to get what is ( ffered. One thing, at least, should bo well understood. Spain deserves no thanks, no eulogy, no gratitude. She has her own reward, for in the preamble of the Bill she boasts of national faith, public principle, and so forth, ad nuw,eum. Still we believe that the Spanish people are not to be confounded with their Government, the study of a hich. for years past. has been only to en. rich its several Members and Queen Christina and her favourites. Any one who objects that the resources of , patu wi:l not enable her to do more, should remember that her torbearing and generous creditors do not ask more than she can grant. *Uney simply debited that Spain anould keep her dr bt and interest intact, pay ing what she could afford now, and more here atter. This, however, was too honest and straightforward a c.aarse for any Minister at M4drid, and accordingly halt the in erest in arrear was unblushingly cut off, and the debtor told the claim- ants they must take what they could get. Had the pro puss' not be,ii accepted by the meeting yesterday, he Spanish Government would have gone on quietly paying the dividends to the minority who sent in their assent privately, or might even have declared that as a majority did not acqui-ace, the law should not be cat ried out, and there would be possibly a delay of one or two years more. Under these circumstances, strong as is our feeling against the Spanish G .vernment, we think the bond hold rs had no other course but to accept, nor do we consider it would have been practicable to apportion the money between those who held their bonds with the coupons attached, and those who had cut them off and sold them in the open market. In this " piping time" of railways, when a new scheme is Tate a rarity, there needs some special recommendatien to induce participation in it. The Western Railway of France, c mprisieg the section from Paris, through Vet s,iiies to C artres, La L-uppe, and Le Mane ,ha, been conceded to Messrs. Pe to, Geach, tirassey Betts Fux, Henderson, and Stokes. The con ditions appear to be very favourable, and the Govern ment guarantee a minimum tate of profit of four per cent. per annum on all the capital. There will be 880.0001. however issued in class A shares, and the se will receive the whole guarantee so as to yield six per tent.

The weatbt r being very favourable for harvest work, and the attendance of buyers hm.ted, the demand for all kinds 0 Wheat of home produce was dull in the extreme, at almost nominal currencies. From abroad, upwards of 5,000 quarters of Wheat have come to hand. Selected samples of both red and white sold at barely previous rates. In other kinds, scarcely a transaction took pleoe. Barley met a very dull inquiry, but importers were not sellers on lower t.-rms. The Malt trade ruled heavy' at late figures. The arrivals of Foreign Oats being good-- 20 310 quarters—the Oat trade was dull, at Monday 's prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were offering on lower terms. Very favourable accounts haw) reached us respecting the genera appearance of t he potato crop. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. 1100. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. S ae".

Henry Charles Page, ageu 30, described as an interprete r ' was charged with feloniously shouting at John Franca' Hacke, with intent to kill arid murder him. The prix tier applied to the Co u rt t o p os tpone hie trial fur a few days, on the ground that a lady who we a material and necessary witness for his defence had 0°: yet arrived from Boulogne, and Mr. Justice Erle direct that the case should stand over until Fr iday.

Mr. Clarkson, with whom was Mr. Bodkin and BA L. ' Huddlestone, appeared for the prosecution; and Dlr . Ballantine and Mr. Parry appeared for the prisoners. e The circumstances c o nn ecte d w ith th e c h arge were 0 ` a somewhat singular character. Jo September last O r e letter containing the notes in question was posted ip Southampton, by a person named Fairo. It was ly e; dtesstel to a Mr. Fee rand, r es idi ng a t G ravea eed• was duty dispatched from the office in Southampton, b a r , it never reached the bands o f th e party to whor it was sent. At this time the two Pr y soners were engaged in the Gr avese nd P° 3i. office as cleiks. Information of the nun-arrival of tb e letter, together with the number of the notes, was for warded to the Post-master-Gener a l, w h o cause d a stric t investigation to be made into the matter, but nothirie was heard of any of the notes until the 18th of NoTe n3 c i bar, when one of the 5/, notes r e turn e d t o th e B a nk, 6,13 it was traced to a stationer in Piccadilly, where it b ee 0 been changed a w days previously by a p er son wu bought a quantity of po s t age stamps t h ere. O n t he 24t „" of June, the first of the 101. notes found its way int d, the Bank, when it was traced t o a p ersoa li v i ng at I% port, in Sussex, and on t h e 4th o f J u l 3 t h e seco nd I ' l A note came ife, and sas traced t o a c h au dl er , w h o recoil!: it from one of his customers, but who that customer 1"`" he could not tell. So far, however, nothing transpired implicate the prisoners in the robbery, and the probs.; bitty is their guilt would never have been found out /At it not been fur the domestic perfidy of the prieone Muzzall. He, it would seem, married his ceased wife's sister, and a few weeks ago he turne d h 9 ..ut of doors to rak e up w i t h anot h er woman, telling her that he had b, en consulting some law book which satin fled him that their marriege was void, and that 9°e had t.o legal claim upon him. While smsrtil from this cruel treatment, she gave information to tu . police authorities, which led to the arrest of the i/ ri , sonar en the present charge, and the subs, quoit ident_li tication of Young as the party who changed the 0 '; note at the stationer's shop in Piccadilly. She state" , that about the period a hen the letter was said tee ba l d beau forwarded to Gravesend Muzzall came borne, s°, wanted her to go out and get tw o 10/. no t es c hange' She refused to do anything of the sort, declaring he r belief that be hal not c, me honestly by them, and tbe° he confessed to her that they had been given to him bi, Tom Young," the other pri soner , w h o h a d e V /14 01 them, with another note f u r 51., f rom a l etter which 11°' arrived from Southampton. Meanwhile the prisone r Young resigned his situation, which he had held P t eight or nine y ears, at Shepherd's-bush, and when al Feist-office began to make inquiries about the missil 1 tier, and to talk ab o ut searc hi ng t h e p rem ises °_ Clark, she was induced by Muzzall to go up to ow l ; and place the two ten p oun d notes in the hands of Young.

The marriage the Court held to b e vo id ; b u t the for the prisoner contended that. as the mother of i t io i deceased wile was living, she ought t o h ave been cse,„e• to prove the sisterhood, an obj ec ti on w hi c h w as °— ruled by the Bench.
