THE SUN, LONDON, of truth, and avenger of falsehood.* If therefore the matter rested there, we should think that there could be but little difficulty as to the solution of the problem. But it was rendered, if posssible, more unequivocal by the 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 105—a declaratory Act " to remove doubts as to the validity of certain oaths"—by which it was declared and enacted " that in all cases in which an oath may lawfully be and shall have been administered to any person, either as a juryman, or a witness, o r a deponent in any proceeding civil or crimi nal, in any court of law or equity in the United Kingdom, or on appointment to any office or employment, or ON ANY OCCASION WHAT EVER, such person is bound by the oath adminis tered, provided the same shall have been administered in such form and with such ceremonies as such person may declare to be binding." It then provides that, " in case of wilful false swearing, every such person may be convicted of the crime of perjury in the same manner as if the oath had been administered in the form and with the ceremonies most commonly adopted." What further argument then can be urged ? Al derman SALOMONS and Baron ROTHSCHILD have both declared the form to be not only " binding," but "most binding" on their conscieeees. There can, therefore, be but little doubt but that they would have been subjected to every legal penalty for any infringement of the solemn obligation. Even the ATTORNEY• GENERAL, while arguing on the opposite side—(alas ! that ALEXANDER COCKBURN should fight under the wrong banner in such a cause)—was forced to make that admission. The gravest sanction, not only of eternal but of temporal penalties, is thus accorded to the sacred declaration. They have substantially complied with the spirit of the law. They have not, as they might, evaded the point at issue, by requesting to take the Roman Catholic oath—in which the objectionable words were not included—but they complied with it in all essential points. The object of that oath was to guard against the claims or supposed claims of a family now ex tinct. The succession to the throne of these realms is no longer disputed. The allegiance of every Briton is not only due, but freely rendered to our Most Gracious QUEEN. It requires no oaths or declarations to en sure their affectionate loyalty. If ever there was a work of supererogation, it is the enforcing of such unnecessary obligations. Bat that is beside the question, for Alderman SenomoNs and Baron RoTascutnn have taken it in its real essence, and only objected to a portion of the form which was intended to give it additional validity, but which would have been less binding on the con sciences of the Honourable Gentlemen than that by which they bound themselves. What, then, will be the position of the House of Commons, if they should, after refusing to admit the parties, find themselves opposed by the unanimous decision of the judges of the land, if they should say that Greenwich and London were partially disfranchised, while the Exchequer Cham ber should declare that Alderman SAnostoris had taken the necessary oaths, and had incurred no penalty for sitting and voting in the House ? Would they persevere obstinately and pertinaciously in wrong doing ; or would they confess their error, and make the arnende honorable by admitting those whom they bad previously rejected.? Either course would be sufficiently humiliating to a body whom we are ever anxious to treat with respect, and we only hope that by a sound and judicious decision the possibility of so unpleasant an alternative will be prevented. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. The Committee of the Assembly appointed to con sider the proposition for regulating the leave of ab sence of Members, determined unanimously on Fri day to recommend that the Assembly should adjourn from the 10th August to the 20th October. The consideration of the question of the ratifica tion of the Lepredour treaty with the Argentine Con federation was, on the motion of M. DE Relics, post poned until after the recess. 1 he Councils-General of the Departments meet on the 25th August, and the efforts of last year to pro cure from them Bonapartist and unconstitutional mani festations will, no doubt, be renewed. On this subject we find the following in the National:— "The Councils-General are convoked for the 25th August. The Bonapartist faction reckons on the Councils-General to give support to a new proposi tion for the revision of the Constitution. It may be remembered what unheard of efforts were made last year to obtain from these councils the vote of revisionist wishes; these efforts will be renewed this year, and it is hoped to repair by a manifestation of departmental aristocracy the defeat submitted to in the Assembly, and the branding imposed on the Mi nistry on the occasion of the manoeuvres employed to obtain revisionist petitions. The agitation of the dis cussion which has just taken place is about to be car ried into the Councils-General; some disturbances will be excited in the country; the Constitution will be ac cused of causing them, and the uneasiness which will result from them. By harassing the country it is hoped to throw it into the hands of the party of prolongation-- old tactics, odious manoeuvres, on which the good sense of the public has long since done ample justice." The same journal says— " The Council of State, in its sitting of Thursday last, continued the discussion of the Bill on the responsibility of public functionaries, and of the President of the Re public. Thanks to the efforts of those who have an in terest in preventing the Bill from being brought before the Legislative Assembly in proper time, the discussion on it goes on very slowly. Things are come to that point that, in order to defeat these manoeuvres, it will be per haps necessary for the Assembly to withdraw the Bill from the Cou❑cil of State, and to discuss it as it was at first sent to it." On Friday M. DUFAIIRD presented the report of the Committee on the Lyons Railway Bill. The re port recommends that the line should be completed by the State.

According to an official intimation, it may be observed elsewhere that the ceremony of prorogation will be conducted by her Most Gracious MAJESTY in person, and con sequently every eclat will accompany the close of the legislative session of a year already rendered remark able by its pageantries. The national representatives may, therefore, look forward to a participation in the famous sports of the 12th proximo, when the pleasures of the wild moors will compensate for the labours of so many nights and days fraught with senatorial anxiety. As a sig nificant preliminary to this movement on the part of the two Houses, it will have been seen, from our last impression, that the Ministerial white-bait dinner is fixed definitively for next Saturday. Having banquetted upon that most seasonable deli cacy at Greenwich, the members of her MAJEsTY's Government will forthwith prepare themselves for that annual period of relaxation which custom has vouchsafed to our national administrators. That some lull of this kind is absolutely requi site for the proper conduct of public af fairs, must be at once obvious to every individual of even the most ordinary discernment—if only for inasmuch as it affords the Cabinet an oppor tunity of deliberately reflecting upon the position of the country apart frosts the storms of debate and the agitating influence of party conflict. Besides which it should be remembered that the temporary separa tion of the House of Commons is desirable, if merely on account of the occasion it presents for some direct intercommunion between the people and their repre sentatives. Several of the latter, it cannot be forgotten, have each year considered it so far desirable that this exchange of thought between themselves and their respective constituencies should take place, that they have periodically called meetings, at which they have, so to speak, unburdened their consciences to their supporters, and explained to them the course they have considered it right to pursue in reference to some of the most important subjects brought under discussion in the course of the recent session of the Imperial Parliament. Such elaborate and formal explanations as these, have, of course, proved inconvenient to the majority of the Members, but a few honourable exceptions have testified the benefit resulting to the mass of electors from such a proceeding. By con vening these periodical assemblies, and bringing under their consideration the legislative labours accomplished during the past year, the popular representatives in question have materially advanced the general cause of enlightenment as to the management of public af fairs and as to the improvements demanded in the Government. Nothing, indeed, could be better cal culated to educate the community to a due apprecia tion of the value of the rights of citizenship than these retrospective surveys of the progress made in the way of reform within the walls of the Legislature. Moreover, it should be borne in remembrance that those backward glances at the improvements effected by the Parliament, enable the multitude in the most effectual manner to perceive the nature of those additional reforms which are especially required as the next achievements in the way of emending the great fabric of the Constitution. Viewed in this light, the interval of repose which elapses between the pro rogation and the re-assembling of the two Houses may be regarded as advantageous to the nation, not less in regard to the future than to the past, not less as a means of consolation than as a means also of encouragement. From the evils already removed from our pathway we can discover the power remaining to us fur the dissipation of other and yet more formidable obstructions to the general develop ment. While as a method of improving the very manner of their Parliamentary tactics, the retro spect taken by the popular representatives them selves cannot but prove productive of the greatest benefit imaginable, inciting them appreciably to yet more strenuous exertions, reminding them of the nature of the impediments yet remaining to be vanquished, and revealing yet more the cause to which are attributable so many and such reiterated disappointments. Everything, in short, combines to satisfy the mind of the more re- flective observer of the good resulting to the nation, to the Parliament, and to the Government, from this annual lull in the toils of legislation. "All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," seems to be a scrap of nursery wisdom, especially applicable to JACK BULL, if we may be permitted the familiarity of that diminutive in reference to so very sedate and respectable a personage. So likewise might the distich be applied with point to the whole mass of our national administrators from the PRIME MINISTER downwards ; and it was doubtless in con sideration of this necessity for recreation that it was arranged for Parliament to be prorogued each year in sufficient time to enable its Members to share in the sports of the ever-memorable 12th of August. It should likewise be recollected that the lapse of time which takes place between the commencement of August and the be ginning of February, between the prorogation and the re-assembling of Parliament, is time by no means lost to the nation, but time, on the contrary, occupied to the general advantage. During it the Members, though availing themselves to a reasonable extent of the opportunity afforded in it for relaxation, are, nevertheless, industrious in preparing for the next session ; the more active and conscientious amongst them, to say the least of it—knowing as they do that upon their exertions at this period the efficiency of the subsequent discharge of their duties may be said to be in a very great measure de pendent. Therefore it is that, for a variety of reasons, we may look forward with satisfaction to the proro gation of the Legislature. This evening the House of Commons will be called upon to act in a new capacity, to give a judical de cision on a question which, although of vital import ance to the cause of civil and religious liberty, is yet one of the very plainest and most simple character. Two important constituencies have petitioned that their chosen representatives should be admitted to take their seats, or that, at least, before their un questionable privileges should be violated, that they should be heard by counsel at the bar of the House, to show that there is no sufficient reasons for excluding the Baron ROTHSCHILD or Mr. Alderman SALOMONS from the honourable positions to which they had been called by the voices of their fellow-countrymen. To the manly and energetic conduct of the latter gentleman is owing the present state of the case, and the prospect of an early deci sion. Conscious of the justice of his cause, and de spising the penalties to which he might be subjected if he had taken an erroneous view of the law, he flung himself boldly into the breach, and assumed all the responsibilities of the contest. His Jewish brethren could not have selected a better or more chivalrous champion. They are fortunate, indeed, in having such a man to fight on their behalf. The question itself lies in a nutshell. NVe venture to assert that in a court of justice, before any one of the judges of the land, the sworn and experienced in terpreters and expounders of the law, it would be promptly without evens decided without d ou b t or hesitation, and point being reserved for the considera tion of the full court. The celebrated and leading case of OMYCHUND v. BARKER (1 Atkyns, 5. 8) is decisive on the point, and the principle thereby affirmed has never since been impeached, but has always been received as an unquestionable authority. In that case we find C. J. WILLES declaring that " the nature of an oath is not at all altered by Christianity, but only made more solemn from the sanction of rewards and punishments being more openly declared ;" while Lord HARDWICKE, a judge, whose opinions will for ever command respect, added, " All that is necessary to an oath is an appeal to till hunts BRING, as thinking Him the rewarder SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived. Their contents are unimportant. A telegraphic dispatch from Madrid of the 24th has been received in Paris, announcing that the first six and most important articles of the Bill for the settlement of the public debt had been voted by the Senate. The concession of the canal of the Ebro had been also voted unanimously in the Cham ber of Deputies. MADRID BOMA, JULY 22.—The following are the prices of stocks :—Three per Cents., 36i ; Five per Cents., with current Coupon, 17i ; Coupons, 81 Passive Debt, 7. Exchange on London, 50 80. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin mentions a report that the Prussian Government does not intend to persist in demanding that the province of Prussia and Posen shall cease to form part of the Germanic Confedera tion. The Wurtemburg journals contradict the report given by the Allgemeine Zeitung of the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, and declare that neither Wurtembng nor Bavaria has had an intention cf de nouncing the treaty of the Zollverein. The Minister Vox Krim.? confined himself to the following re marks :-1. That before the term of the expiration of the treaty (December, 1852) there would probably be no other conference of the Members of the German Customs' Union. 2. That it was very probable if a denunciation was made in some quarters, negotiations would be:commenced for revi-ing the treaty ; and that, finally, in that case the Government of Wur temburg would, as in times past, be in favour of a modification of the tariff in a protectionist point of view. HOLLAND. 'lna HAGUE, JULY 26.—1 n the Second Chamber it was decided by 29 against 28 that the Russian question should be discussed this session ; but after the question had been discussed it was resolved that the votes should be again taken as to whether the same question should be debated to-morrow. This was de cided by a majority of 37 against 22. TURKEY. A telegraphic dispatch, dated Constantinople, July 12, states that a great conflagration had taken place at that capital. One hundred and forty-four houses had fallen a prey to the flames. ITALY. The Paris Univers quotes a letter from Rome of the 20th, stating that a serious misunderstanding has arisen b e t ween t h e F renc h an d t h e P apa l authorities at Rome, under the following circumstances :—At the time the French occupied Rome, they took pos session of the offices of the Inquisition, and lodged some companies there. Some time after, however, they gave up the building to the congregation of the Holy Office, who got it repaired at a cost of 15,000 E, and were enabled to occupy it but a few months ago.. g the On the 16 t h , t h e French Commiss i on for quarterm trocPs raddnly receiNd infortua. MONDAY EVENING, tion that the 7th battalion of foot chasseurs was coming on the following evening. Not knowing where to quarter them at so short a notice, the Com missioners immediately sent to the Holy Office, an nouncing in rather an imperious tone, their intention of taking possession of the buildings, and demanding the immediate removal of the offices of the Inquisition. It being urged on the part of the latter that it was impossible to remove the archives, the tribunal, &c., at a moment's warning, a respite of three days was at length granted, with the proviso that those parts of the building which were empty, should be immediately occupied by the French troops. The HOLT FATHER, who is himself the prefect of the Congregation, gave orders to look out for another suitable building wherein to install the now homeless tribunal; but every effort having proved fruitless, his HOLINESiI has been at last obliged to apportion for the offices of the Inquisition a few rooms in the Palace of the Vatican. The same letter states that the circulars addressed by the Tuscan Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs to the bishops of that state, limiting the fran chises granted to the Church by the new concordat, has produced a very unfavourable sensation at the Court of Rome. A letter from Nice, of the 21st, states that some disturbances took place there on that day, in conse quence of the drawing for the conscription. The young men, who obtained the bad numbers, raised an outcry, declaring that they would not serve a Go vernment which had ruined the country by the abo lition of the free port. They then displayed a red flag, and proceeded towards the Pont du Var, pre tending that they intended to take refuge in France. They stopped short, however, before they had gone tar, and, after some delay, thought it better to disperse. INDIA. MARSEILLES, JULY 26, 7 30 A.M The East India mail has just arrived.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. At Liverpool on Saturday the Cotton market was active, and sales to the amount of 12,000 bales were made. An improvement of 11. per lb. took place in American Cotton, but in other descriptions there was no material alteration.—The Share Market further im proved, and prices had an upward tendency, closing firmly. The American accounts state that the Money Market was easy, although the exchange on London continued as high as 110 to and no less than 1,001,543 dollars have been forwarded by the Africa steamer. The number of emigrants arrived at Quebec this year to the sth inst. was 18,568, being an increase of 2,526 persons over the preceding year. The Llamburgh mail of Friday last brings the rare of exchange on Loudon at 13e. 30., being steady. Funds and Shares were supported. Coffee was firm. At Amsterdam, on the 26th Test., Dutch Stock was supported. In foreign securities nothing particular was done, but Austrian Bonds were still rising. The letter written by M. Payuo to the Committee of Mexican Bondholders has been forwarded for publica tion, and we select the following as the more interesting paragraphs, and as reflecting great credit on on the Mi nister : " I read, in Edinburgh, the Times of the 7th and 10th inat., and I immediately determined to return, in order to offer the committee some explanations, which seemed to be re quired, to stop any decline in the price of the Mexican Bonds to the prejudice of the holders, and of the credit of the Republic, whose punctual fulfilment of its engagements is, I regret to see, not appreciated as it ought to be. " The committee will, therefore, see that the certificate for 2,500,000 dolls. which they hold from the general treasury, is absolutely the same sort of documents which have hitherto been negotiated in Mexico by Messrs. Seeker, Torrey, and othschild, Baring, C orcoran , Yturbi, and Aguero Co.,, Gonettez and Co. None of thos e certificates were ever accepted by the Government of the United States, but paid at ma turity without having had any other previous security or guarantee than that confidence which the strict and considerate manner in which the Government of the United States have hitherto carried into effect the stipulations of the treaty of peace must justly inspire. "I am surprised, therefore, to find it stated in the Times that the committee are unable to negotiate the certificates which they hold, when I know that so late as towards the end of last month the Govern ment has negotiated with Mr. Forstall (the agent of the houses of Baring and Corcoran) certificates of precisely the same character. It would seem to be desirable that the committee should bring this to the knowledge of the bondholders, stating to them that that document is negotiable whenever they like, because it is as good as United States' Stock, which is worth 108 per cent., and that the consequence of throwing doubts upon this security will probably be to subject the bondholders to the same sacrifices through which Mexico has passed, by sometimes paying as much as 2 per cent. per month. As to the small amount of specie which the last packet brought, and by which the price of the bonds has in the opinion of the committee been lowered, I beg to state that the cause has been a financial operation on the part of the Custom-houses, but that as the payment of the dividend has been advertised, this ought not to trouble the bondholders. Nevertheless, I have antici pated the desire of the committee, and stated to the President by the last packet that it would be necessary that the monthly remittances should be considerable, and even suggested that the import dudes assigned to the English bondholders should immediately be paid Over. " The committee cannot fail to recognise the good faith and frankness of the course which the Government has taken throughout this business, and I flatter myself that they will make known this to the bondholders, as buring them of the attention and favour with which their interests are regarded by the present President and his Ministers." There is a steady market for Public Securities, but the business done has been limited. We shall soon he quit of political excitement, as the French and British gislatures are about to be prorogued. The large amount of specie received this morning has given no stimulus to speculation, neither buyers nor ssllers ap peering. Bank Sock has been very firm at 2151. Ex chequer.bills have been rather lower, viz.. 48s. Co 51s. premium. East India Bonds have realised 58s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 981 to 99. Consols are 96! is Foreign Securities are welt supported. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 21 to 211, having risen slightly upon the intelligence of the passing of the Bill arrang ing the F reign Debt, in the Senate at Madrid, by a large makirity. The question now comes, whether the bondholders here will accept, and we believe they will, being completely tired out. Mexican Stock has been firm at 301 to 31. Brazilian Old Bonds are 901 to 92. Russian Sock has been at 1141 for the Five per Cents. Dutch Two ,and-a- Half per Cents, have been 591 to 60. The Railway Share Market has been good on the whole, but the prices are not in every instance quite so full as on Satuulay. The feeling both here and at Liverpool is decidedly more favourable, but a rally after long depression is sure at first to bring forward a few timid sellers. Dutch Rhenish are higher. It appears that the Belgian papers were wrong in asserting that the Dutch Rhenish Railway Company had made a call of 20 per cent. The company referred to was that which is on the Prussian side. oNE PRICES OF BRITIBII FUNDS O'CLOCK. Bane Stock 3 e Cent. Reduced Anna. 97% 1 4 8 per Cent.

The morning has been cloudy since sunrise, that it has been impossible to catch a glimpse of the sun. It would seem as though old Sol had kept in all day, in dudgeon, determined not to exhibit himself for the mere purpose of being eclipsed. At a quarter to one we were threatened with a storm, and a few large d-ops of rain fell for about five minutes; the rain, however, ceased, but the atmosphere still continued overcast. At two o'clock a drizzling rain commenced falling. Although it has been impossible, on account of the cloudy state of the weather, to catch a glimpse of the sun himself, yet the diminution of light caused by his obscuration is, at the time we write (three o'clock), very perceptible. THE LATE DR. LLNGARD. The death of Dr. Lingard is a national loss. As a candid, impartial, and comprehensive historian, ho be queaths to his country a work, the labour of long years, which may be pronounced the standard " History of England," up to that point from which Macaulay starts. The strict fairness and undeviating fidelity with which the task is accomplished without the sacrifice of a con viction, the mild and tolerant principles, the large and varied learning at once discursive and profound, the lucid and ample style, render Dr. Lingard's History an honour to his country and to his Church, and an en during monument to his own farce. It is accepted by all creeds, opinions, and parties, with equal respect and admiration. The unruffled calm of this good man's long and unostentatious life, the disregard of noisy celebrity, the deep love of retirement, the simplicity of life and manners which distinguished his character, aro as de• lightful as they are instructive to recall; for they evi dence the temperate nature, the mild and patient spirit, the open and chastened heart, which are the very ideal of a Christian, and the only true signification of a Catholic. That Dr. Lingard should Lave been able, even in times of bitterness and intolerance, to maintain and assert his own convictions, with out forfeiting the esteem of his controversial ad versaries, that his death should now be mourned as a national bereavement, and a full voice of sympathy and honour swell around his grave, is a high and signal proof that it is not so much diversity of opinions as harshness of imputation that rends men asunder: that truth need never fear discussion: that it is only the perverse inge nuity of systems that can distort and thwart generous and upright natures, which, left to their own development, bring forth fruits of loving-kindness. Dt,ctor Lingard had happily lived far removed from the atmosphere of the Papal Court; and so he died, as he lived, an English Catholic. May we not, Englishmen of all Churches or of none, lay aside our differences for a moment at least, as we stand at the grave of a bro ther of whose memory we are proud? May we not condescend to a little It ss of theology andd - a little more of charity and forbearance? I❑ another part of our columns will be found a letter [first published in The Sun] from the friend and physi c►an of Dr. Lingard, reply►ng unnecessarily we think, but with a natural indignation, to an ignoble report of w•.e know not what obscure paper. The beloved histo rian had long endured a painful malady with the un• swerving fortitude of a philosopher and a Christian and he breathed his last in perfect happiness and trus ful peace. The latest edition of the " History of England," and we believe the filth, was published in 1849, by Dolman, and is in tan volumes. "The History and Antiquities of the Anglo Saxon Church " had been almost re- written by him. The last work from the venerable Doctor's pen was a republication at his suggestion of a treatise originally written some years ago, entitled " Documents to ascer tain the Sentiments ot British Catholics in former Ages, respecting the Puwer ot the Popes." This was issued de circonstance last winter, with a preface by his friend, the Rev. M. A. Tierney, the historian of Arundel.— Leader. COD FISHING...—. An immense quantity of very superior cod has been brought ashore here since the com mencement of the present month. Several boats have now and then landed from 250 to 300 at a time, and takes vary ing from 100 to 2 0 have been common. On Saturday one of our fishermen brought to this office a cod measuring 30 inches in length, and having a proportionate breadth. An other informs us that he took 28 fine herrings from the sto mach of one cod.—Northern Ensign. THE Moons.—A* the 12th of August, the great event of the year for hill sport, begins to cast its shadow on the foreground, sportsmen are anxiously inquiring about the prospects of the coming season. From all we have seen and heard on the subject, we feel assured that the ensuing will be much better than the two preceding seasons. No symp tom of disease has been seen among the old birds during winter, spring, or summer. There are very few barren birds, and the young broods count generally from eight to ten in every cover. We have heard only two unfavourable reports, which are from places where rain fell too constant during the hatching week. A gamekeeper, writing on other bu siness from one of Lord Lovat's moors, says of game—" So far as I can say, grouse are better this year than they have been for years back. The smallest covey I have seen this season was eight, including the old birds, and as high as fourteen, including the old birds. I have not seen a single diseased grouse." A sportsman residing on the south side of the county says—" As far as I can judge, the grouse crop is to be very fair, strong, and pretty numerous. Blackgame has done uncommon Nyell." From s h oot i ng quarters a l ong , the valleys of Spey, indhorn, Strathnairn, and Stratherrick, the accounts are all good, as well as those from the general grouse districts of Ross and Sutherland. The demand for moors has not been equal to that of former seasons, and as yet the usual number has not been taken. There are many of the best smaller moors still in the market, but as inquiries are going on, we hope most of them will be taken before the 12th. Formerly the smaller places were most in demand, but this season extensive shootings, where there was either deer-stalking or salmon-fishing, have been more in request.— Inverness Courier. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—An impor tant permanent reduction is to be made in the fares between Dublin and London, Liverpool, &c., cid Holyhead, on the Ist of August, on which day the opening of the line of rail way between Galway and Dublin, will, it is said, also posi tively take place. The first-class fare between the two capitals will be 31., and the issue of double journey tickets at a fare and a half, will enable parties to return any day not exceeding a fortnight. Second class tickets with like pri vileges, are also to be issued. These arrangements have been conjointly agreed upon by the London and North-Western and the Chester and Holyhead Railway Companies, and the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company. MR. BALFE.—On Monday next (August 4) Mr. Balfe will take a benefit at her Majesty's Theatre for the first time since his appointment as musical director and conductor of that house in 1846. On this occasion an Italian version of Les Quatre Fils d' Aymon, originally produced at the French Opera Comique, and since performed in German at Vienna, will be brought out wider the title 1 Quattro Fratelli. This will be the first of Mr. Belle's works pro duced at her Majesty's Theatre since his Falstaff, which was brought out in 1836. Suci a compliment as a perform ance of one of his works is well deserved both by the services he has rendered the house in his official capacity and by the circumstances that he is the most prolific and popular of English composers. His operas are not less than 18 in num ber. The first three—Enrico Quarto, Un Avventimento ai Gelosi and I Rtvali—were brought out in Italy during Mr. Balfe's residence in that country from 1825 to 1835, but are unknown to the English public. After his return from Italy, his operas of the Siege of .Rochelle, the Maid of Artois, Dia deste, the Bohemian Girl, the Daughter of St. Mark, Cathe rine Grey, Joan of Arc, the Enchantress, the Bondman, and the Maid of Honour, were produced at Drury-lane, and Keolanthe was brought out at the Lyceum, then an English opera house. All these works were successful, while the Bohemian Girl attained a popularity almost unprecedented, and the Maid of Artois was rendered illustrious by furnish ing an original part to Madame Malibran.

THE CONVICT SARAH BARBER.—The execution of this woman, whose condemnation without hope of mercy was pronounced on Friday evening by Mr. Baron Parke, at Nottingham, will take place in front of the county gaol in that town on Wednesday morning next, at eight o'clock. Effective steps will be taken by the high sheriff, Mr. John Francklin, to prevent the concourse of people becoming so enormous as on former *cessions, a step which is highly ne cessary, considering that the last execution in the same place caused the death of 15 or 16 spectators, men and women, who were kc'ecl down by the pre re and onfocateci!

Most kinds were a slow inquiry, at about stationary prices. Fine foreign Wheats were quite as dear, but in ferior qualities commanded very little attention. No change took place in the value of either Barley or Malt. but Oats sold at full currencies. Beans, Peas, and In dian Corn, were very dull. In Flour a steady business was doing. The latest accounts from New York state that, not withstanding the demand for Flour had fallen off, the value of Fleur was well supported. In the Baltic and Black Sea markets, as well as in France, no sales of importance have taken place. Very little supplies of English Grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad, the imports amounted to 18.936 quarters Wheat, 3,020 Barley, 29,555 Oats, 30 Rs e, 3,320 Beans, 42 Peas, 191 Tares, 1,118 Linseed, 1,733 sundry seeds, including Indian Corn, 3,020 sacks and 2,475 barrels Flour. A fair average time-of•year supply of English Wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market coast wise from Essex. From Kent the supply was very mo derate. By land carriage the receipts from all quarters were small, but in good saleable condition. Notwith• standing that millers generally are ♦ery short of stook, the demands for all kinds of Wheat, of home produce, was inactive, at prices about equal to those of Monday last. Prior to the close of business a good clearance bad been effected. The amount of business doing for forward shipment from the East coast was small, although our accounts state that immense breadths of Wheat have been lodged by the late heavy rains in the whole of our principal grain districts. With foreign Wheat, as several of the cargoes reported last week from Dautzic and elsewhere have passed direct into the bands of millers, we were but moderately supplied. Fine dry samples moved off steadily, at lull rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds comparatively little was doing, but S,W have no change to notice in their value. Floating cargoes commanded very little attention, but the number of vessels now off the coast is not large. We had a very moderate quantity of foreign B a rley on show, but not a single parcel of English was brought forward. Grinding parcels sold slowly, a t full prices. In other kinds next to nothing was doing. Malt, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates. The supply of foreign Oats having materially in' creased since Friday, the Oat trade was less active, yet last Monday's quotations were well maintained. We had a very slow sale for Beans, at barely sta• tionary prices. In Peas next to nothing was doing, at late rates• Indian Corn nominal. No change took place in the demand for, or prices 94 Flour, the supply of which was tolerably good. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The remainder of the supply was chiefly derived from abroad.
