A terrible catastrophe lately threatened to plunge the Raman population once more into that abyss of political degradation from which it had been very nearly extricated. A conspiracy more tremendous in guilt, or more blood-thirsty in character, has never been detected since the days of CATALINE. It evinces in Prince 31ErrEaxtcx an audacity like that of MARAT, and a ruthlessness like that of CESAR BORGIA. Had not the villanous machinations of the Austrian Cabinet been divulged, and resolute mea sures instantly adopted for their frustration, th i s year would have been memorable in the annals of history for a massacre as diabolical as that of the Huguenots. Happily, however, the infamous plots of Vienna were discovered in time, an d th e goo d f or t une w hi c h has hitherto attended the movements of the present glorious Pontificate, did not desert the great and admirable Pius in the moment of his greatest peril. Austria is discomfited and Rome is free. We re gard, in fact, the occurrences which have recently transpired in the Eternal City as at once so remark able ard decisive as to render the complete emanc'pa • tion of Italy no longer doubtful. The very morning which was destined by the retrograde parry to v, itness the abasement of the reforming PONTIFF and th.- butchery of his loving people proved, on the contrary, the one in which his liberal government attained its apogee. Whatever may be the subsequent contri, vancies of the absolutists there can now be no hesita tion as to the final success of the generous Govern ment of the Sovereign PONTIFF. Authentic accounts of the extraordinary circum stances to whi c h we are a ll u di ng h ave arrived in England. Before th e accuracy o f t h e fi rs t indefinite rumours were substantiated by correspondents of un questionable vera c it y, we must acknowledge that we were incredulous as to the truth of such horrible and sanguinary schemes. With a vivid remembrance of the incorporation of wecould Cracow,and the buccaneeri ng ex pedition in Gallicia, n ot conceive to oursel v es the possibility of the Austrian Ad mini stration adventur ing upon a crime so gi gan ti c in rn o c l i . t e y v . e Th e narrative a entirely a of these proceedings i s now, h beyond unbelief as the turpit u d e of ther' conspirators is utterly without palliation. It would appear that the anniversary of that memorable amnesty which first showed to the people of Rome the clement dig. position of the new Pore, was selected by the agents of FERDINAND as the most fitting reriod f or crushing the spirit of Freedom in the Papal States. Amidst the majestic ceremonies of that day, when the grate. ful populace of Rome were manifesting their love for their SOVEREIGN, the hired assassins of Austria were to mingle with the multitude assembled on the Piazza ` 4 " Popolo, and there, at the foot of the colossal statue of P ope P ius IX., t o offer up the lives of many thousands to the offended genius of Despotism. The salvation of those lives is universally attributed t o the i vi ci gi c l i a ß n o c i e : t patriotism of a second RlENZl— called r Icaaoucc;c, ino. position. simply a Roman citizen,s virtu a ll y a tr ib une i n in fluence, and a prince ponosition. The uneasiness am of public reoicin which manifest e d i tself approach e d, j gs gthe people as the day seemed to arise from a sort of intuitive sense of impe n di ng a variety of suspi c i ons i n t h e he art ofngeertc, gln a d o zo c u c s i e o d . His watchfulness was i n th e end rew ar d ed b timely detection of a consp i racy which y threatenedthe himself and bia fellow citizens with a sudden and bloody death. Immediately these hideous revelations un folded tkeppelves before the Mutiny of Ciontonc. cm, he communicated with i ",he popular members of the Roman nobility; and, through the intercession of Prince BORGIIESE and Duke MASSI:IO, obtained per mission from the Posirrrer to render the schemes of the enemy abortive, through the instrumentality cf the newly-organized Natioi.al Guard. Simulta neously with the assembling of this military force, composed entirely of the patrician and middle classes of society, a placard was posted in the different streets, at the suggestion of CICERO. NACCIO, enumerating the principal personages who had conspired against Pope Pius and his people. Upon the appearance of that placard the excitement of the population exceeded all ordinary limits : the guilty accomplices were captured and the Romans were avenged without the effusion of one drop of blood. GRASSELINI, the Governor of the city, from his evident connivance with the Austrian merce naries, and especially from his traitorous inactivity throughout the whole of these transactions, was summarily dismissed from authority, and his post committed, pro tempore, to the charge of Aloamint, the popular advocate. Cavalier MINARDI was only preserved from destruction at the hands of the mob by the walls of an oratory opposite S. Andrea delle Frate and the impassioned appeals of the renowned vrator Father VENTURA. Such has been the perilous position of Pius IX. and his people ! Such have been the devilish projects of imperial Austria! Such has been the celebration of the amnesty ! The result has, contrary to the inten tion of the absolutists, confirmed the popular enthu siasm towards the Sovereign PONTIFF, it has placed the Liberal government of the Vatican on an indestruc tible foundation, above all, it has confirmed the re solution of the noble-hearted POPE in advancing boldly along the sublime path upon which he has adventured since the hour of his coronation. Although we deeply regretted the recent decision of the eleators of Lambeth, and their rejection of the liberal and enlightened politician wh-, during four successive Parliamentg—indeed, from the period when the elective franchise was first bestowed upon them under the Reform Act—had represented them with distinguished ability, undeviating integrity, and un remitting zeal, there is at least this consolation, that his successor is not one opposed to the principles which have ever been put forward is the Senate on behalf of that constituency. It is net a Protectionist, opposed to the further development of the great doctrines of free trade, and anxious again to re-establish, and, it possible, to perpetuate the baneful monopoly under which commerce was fettered and restrained, and our national prosperity retarded and impaired for so many years—it is not a Tory, opposed to all future reform, and anxious to maintain the abuses that have gradually accumulated about our institutions—that has been elected in his place. We should have been indeed I.ra i fied to have seen Mr. CHARLES PEARSON returned as a Member of the Legislature under other circumstanc, and enabled to direct his extensive experience and undoubted abilities to the service of his country in the highest sphere of action, the Senate. There are many points of the deepest interest and the most vital importance to the public generally to be discussed and legislated on in the new Parliament. Much has already been effected since the constitutional theory of a popukr representation ceased to be a mockery and a delusion, but far more remains to be done, aod we shall anxiously look for these ameliorations and reforms at the hands of our Liberal Government which their increased strength, not only in the Legis lature, but in that which alone constitutes the true basis of Mini,terial power—the public opinion—will enable them to carry by triumphant majorities. There never was a period in our history when so many grave and serious questions demanded a prompt solution as at the present moment. On former occa sions some one or two topics absor ►ed the whole at tention of the people ; each was selected as the subject of party warfare, as the battle-ground on which the conflict was to be decided between hereditary oppo nents. Such was the Emancipation Acr, the Reform Bill, the free-trade measures, and others, that enlisted the entire feelings and sympathies of the people with the belligerents on either side. In the excitement this created matters were lost sight of that would otherwise have required the most attentive considera tion. This is happily no longer the case. Parties are practically annihilated ; in place of a blind and implicit obedience to particular leaders, each question is canvassed, and decided on ins own particular merits, its inherent claims, without reference to the quarter from whence it has emanated, by whom brought forward, or by whom supported. " Measures, and not men," will henceforward prove the rule and not the exception, and we may therefore reasonably hope that many matters will be discussed and decided upon in the new Parliament which were heretofore postponed owing to the causes to which we have alluded. Mr. PEARSON, with a praiseworthy candour, pub. lished a full exposition of his views and feelings OR many of these subjects previous to the election. In his first letter to the electors he enters into a topic which must affect most materially the future pros pects, the happiness or misery of thousands and tens of thousands of our fellow-creatures, on the result of which must depend whether neglected and helpless children, those deprived of the affectionate care of parents, and left without any legitimate protectors or guardians, are to be plunged into vice and depravity, and wholly demoralised, until they become thieves and pickpockets, preying upon the industry and resources of others, habitual violaters of the law, perpetrators of offences of every degree of magnitude from the pet tiest theft to the most atrocious homicide, or converted ' into useful and industrious members of society, ' earning their daily bread by their lionesrlabour. Mr. PEARSON states, and with truth, " that when one of these unhappy children gets carried to prison for his first offence, you may very safely predicate that in plunder or in prison expenses he will cost the nation from 1001. to 2001. before he is finally disposed 4." There can be lithe doubt of this ; in deed, it would be easy to show that the amount is much underrated. It becomes, then, a question whether, setting aside all the higher considerations that should influence Christian men, indeed every one possessed of the commonest feelings of humanity, it would not be a mutter of i sound p,,u e n e d o s i , o i s n h y i ll i ogs, and pe nce bywhich a great pe cuniary would be obtained, to effect • a total change in the present system.Nl ir. PEARSON says—..“ If the Legislature would combine courage with prudence, and would ' provide instead of prisons, asylums in which those a of value to t unfortunates could be dri'ledanldisciplined i n -h ar d work, suitable s o th eirage and strengh, and where they cou ld , at the t m receive appropriate instruction, combined with ae time' moral f and religious training, they would b ecome in a life good labourers and servants, good soldiers and good sailors, or good colonis, L ts ne nation, equal in amount to the sum they cost the nation under the present system." Why, then, should an experiment from which such happy results may fairly be looked for, remain untried ? The present state of the law relating to minors is a perfect anomaly, as a young man of nineteen or twenty years of age, fully educated, and who ought in every respect to be responsible for his actions, may incur debts, and obtain the property of tradesmen with perfect im punity—he may be possesred of considerable property, and have all the ability to pay, and yet he will be justified in treating his creditors with contumely, and i. t in wholly r e f us i ng any sat i s f ac ti on f o r the contracts which he may have entered—he may laugh at their folly, and many an honest tradesman may have to bewail li . lis misplaced confideuce • but let an unhappy c hild , of ten or eleven ' years, purloin a few apples, or i n any degree bring himself within the operation of th e criminal code, and f or th w ith h e i s committed to pat, tiog ed publicly or privately, 1 according to th e whim of g the presidingand his ruin for life unhesitatingly magistrate, decided on, Children of that ace are not theqti for penal infliction; they do not understand cause of their punishment, th ey tng objects suffer the and on their release are more ready thanit' ever to plunge into new crimes, to become the tools and instruments of more experienced and hardened offenders. Such things should not be sanc tioned or permitted in an enlightened, a Christian country. Those who have no parents to direct them to fitter pursuits should he looked on as the children of the State. and have extended to them that. parental care of which they are deprived. 1 hose who, on the other hand, have parents who neglect their na:.uralciuty should not be abazioned to ipisery and ruin, but TFIE SUN, LoNnn their parents (the real offenders) should be made i liable for the expenses of their maintenance and education. The Spartan theory, that the children belonged exclusively to the State, might partially be adopted ; whenever parents or friends took care of the child, he should be suffered to remain under their care, facilities for his education and the due cultivation of his mind being afforded from the national Eschequer whenever they are not possessed of means sufficient to provide it from their own resources ; but the in stant that child is criminally convicted, prima fade evidence is afforded that they have neg'ected their duties,ami unless that is satisfactorily rebutted,heshould at once be, taken from their hands, and consigned to thane national asylums where he may be brought up to a sense of his position, a knowledge of the duties he will be required to discharge in his future career, and prepared by a judicious discipline for their due performance. The Commission apoiuted by the Swiss Diet to floncert measures required by the hostile attitude assumed by the Sonderbund assembled on the 31st ult., and it was decided unanimously that coercion is neceisary to repress the attempts of the League. The Executive Council of Berne has instructed its Deputies to the Diet to make a motion fur the destruction of the fortifications which the Sonderbund has undertaken to form without the authority of the Federal As,embly. The addresses to the Diet from the democratic societies all express the firm resolu tion of the people not to fetter the action of the Le gislature by illegitimate manifestations. We read in a letter from Rome, of the 28th ult.— " I have already spoken to you of the almost cordial enteme between the Cabinets of Vienna and Paris on the subject of the Pontifical States. Ric s, the most plausi ble conjectures, and public opint. m, au expressed in several journals published at Rome, leave no doubt on this subject. The Austrian Government offers its me diation to the Pope between his people and. himself in the event of any disturbance, but it instructed its Nuncio it Rome to iyat.. that it will intervene only if required to do so by the Pontifical Government. This, however, dill not prevent its sending, on the 16th, 1,500 men— with artillery and matches lighted—into Ferrara; reckon ing, without doubt, that at that date the revolution was consummated, and its intervention could not be retarded. And what was the French Government doing at the same time? It also offered, by a diplomatic note, the same -ervices and the same intervention in the event of a re volution. The note, it is true, added that the French Go vernment would defend the independence of the Pope against all, if any attempt should be made openly to sh fickle the reforms of Pius IX —an act of astounding anignani:uity, sa)s an Italian journal. when this inde• oendenee is guaranteed by treaties, and when, on the ether hand, it is impossible to suppose that any Govern :pent would openly oppose the administrative acts of an odepetident sovereign. But it is well, in order to com plete the parallel, to add that at the same date—viz., the 16th ult., several French ves,ela showed themselves Civita-Vecchia, and remained there two days, with he intention, probably, of procuring for the Pontifical Government the same protection as that presented by the Austrian troops at Ferrara. The same idea of pro '-ction led to the manoeuvring, at the same time, of a Neapolitan army on the frontier of the. Pontifical States. rhiti is truly an affecting accord of protections." " The celebrated Nardoni, who, from a simple gen larme, became colonel of the cariabineers, that is to .ity, chief of the police under the old administration, ho possessed the confidence of the ex• Governor, Grasselini, has just been arrested in the environs of Albano, after several days' minute researches. This ar rest is very important, for the man appears to be one if the principal chiefs of the conspiracy which has just :nenaced Rome. The Pope had several weeks ago .rdered him to return to Naples, his native country ; but whether he avoided the execution of this order, or whether he returned for the execution of the plot, it is certain that his presence was signalised at Albano from aie 15th of this month, the day on which till. was dis ,,overed. He endeavoured to hide himself, by flight, rorn the active researches of 30 national guards, who .pontaneously started to capture him, but he could not -scape. Several other arrests, equally important, have dso beeu effected, and will place in the hands of justice 1 the Ist ojt cts and all the agents of the plot." A letter from Bologna of the 28th ult. says— " Tne accounts which we receive from the different provinces prove that the conspiracy has not been con 'it:ed to the capital, for there have been disturbances in ether parts. It is worthy of remark t hat these distui b awes have coincided with the arrival of the Austrians at Ferrara and the march of the Neapolitan troops towards the frontier. It is said that several thousands sent from Naples have arrived at Portent). Nothing is thought of but how to organize a resistance to the Austrians, in case they should attempt to invade the dominions of the Pontificate. The Austrian General is arrived at Fer rara, and imperial troops are accumulating on the banks of the Po. On Sunday the 25th, the anniversary of the death of the brothers Bincleira and their com panions, the young rni:n of our town attended a mass ' celebrated at the Church of Saint James, in honour of these unfortunate persons. The letters and journals from Rome confirm the important news lately circulated. The new Secretary of State has protested against the entrance of the Austrians into Ferrara. Colonel Freddi tnd Captain Oloi have been arrested near the frontier of Naples, and further arrests have been made at Rome in consequence of the disclosures by the papers which have been seized." We learn from Naples that the disturbances in the Calabrias are not yet at an end, and that armed bands continue to infest the mountains and forests. The gendarmes of the kingdom, which form a corps of 1,500 men, and the best part of the Neapoli tan army, almost exclusively furnish the detach ments sent in pursuit of the Calabrian brigands. A certain number have been captured, and the Govern ment will, it is believed, send them to the Lipau Islands, as they did last year, with the bandit chief DALARICO. Attacks upon property are still made, particularly upon the estates belonging to the great feudal lords. Letters threatening pillage and Sre are still disseminated. The KING, on returning from his excursion, landed at Paolo, in Calabria, with the view of acquiring correct information as to passing events. Immediately after the return of his MAJESTY to Naples, on the 19th ult., a Council of Ministers was called to deliberate upon the measures required for pacifying and improving the condition of the southern provinces and Sicily. Madrid papers of the 29th and 30th ult. have arrived. The QUEEN has been slightly indisposed at La Granja. Her MAJESTY, however, who is completely recovered, is about to proceed for a few days to Biofrio. The interior custom-houses of Spain are, it is said, to be definitively suppressed. General Pant arrived at Barcelona on the 21st, en route for Marseilles. There are several Carli3t bands in Catalonia and Gerona. The expeditionary army in Portugal had com menced its return. Ten battalions, however, are to remain—four for a month, and six for an unlimited ps•riod. It is said that serious di-sensions have broken out between the KING-CONSORT of Portugal and Count MENSDOREF, and that the Queen of PORTUGAL has refued to comply with the requisitions of the Allies. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 30.—The Three per Cents. 264 fur cash ; the Five per Cents. 11. Exchange un London, 49 40. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. A question put by Viscount FLAVIGNY in the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday, elicited from M. GUIZOT the following programme of the policy, which he intends to pursue with regard to Switzerland and Italy :-- The Chamberta:ah subjects with ' c e o c uld not bo surprised if he spoke on these two 4. a certain r e s e r ve . lee 11 r tunately, in neither case had the policy of France anything to conceal. In what related t o Switzer land. he wi s h e d fi rst of all to set aside two false and irritatit g notions. It intended meddlin g with t l'a e s alleged that F rance internal affairs of that country—in fact, i n t erven i n was intsnded. Not that he edZt . ted at t;' ingof the sor t absolute e ru l e on the subject. Non-interventi on , like'- Pe, was natural state ; but that did net sa y that there was the never 1 to be occasion for intervention, any mo re than that legitimate cause for war might not ari se . All that b: din at present was to deny any idea of interve mien, at the saute time that he reserved the rights of his coun try. The second idea which he rejected was that France was opposed to a reform of the to der,l compact. ; that idea was just as erroneous. France would con fine herself to maintaining all that constituted interna tional right. The French Government honoured and respected Switaerland, and considered her independence and her constitution intimater' connected with the great interests of Europe. Noboiy could deny that the neu trality of Switzerland was bound up with her constitu tion, and that, consequently, France hail a great interest to maintain the confederation such as it was at present. And in what name where the changes spoken of de manded ? In that of the most radical ideas—of ideas, which wherever they prevailed, brought about the shame and ruin of the country where they were in force. These ideas, far trom being new, as was represented, were old ones revived, and would destroy Switzerland, if she sm iered h erse l t te b e guided by them. By what means, toes, were they upheld ? By the m st violent and irre• gnlar. Wats it possible nor tiny one to sav that France cool t remain 4 er unduerent when such titirgs were pas'iie ? B,t what hmith e Is .' I 1 .- . -1 9 .. r. n,..i „, yenta , t „one . fla.l it threatened, had it . 4 ' It employed torce ? Nor in the slightest degree. had expressed its opinion, and re seived its right fin the future. The infra Geysers- r ris ir ment had gene no farther—hut if internal events rendered the emplquient of other means necessary, it wolt:c1 not fail in' the duties which the interests of France imposed. As to Italy, France had no tent itorial or immediate interest there., but, having constant rela tions with that country, she ought to attach a great importance to the miintenanca of peace there. The chief condition of that peace was the existence of a goad intelligence between the Government and the people governed; the only true policy of France was to call ' attention constantly to that condition, and to favour everything that was calculated to maintain it. It was a truly noble sight to behold the Sovereign Pontiff carry ing out wholesome reforms—so greed a spectacle had not before been given to the world! There was no fear that the Pope would forg,4 the principles of order and authority that ought always to preside over such efforts; and all the European Governments woul commit an enormoui hunt, he might almost as., a crime, if they did not support him with all their force in the difficult task which he had undertaken. They ought to be the more ready to lend their aid and countenance, that the enterprise presented gri at chances of success. For Governments entering on the path of reform, the greatest danger was to be apprehended from the extreme parti-s• ' it was to the m ,, de rate section of society alone to which it appertained to carry out reforms—to accomplish moral revolutions. At th. pre sent moment such a moderate part) was beginning to appear in Italy. In pros-nee of the extreme parties, the intelligent and moral forces of :he country had compre hended the neces ity of putting themselves forward, and supporting the Pope and his policy. The ditty of France was to afford them aid—to support the Govern ment and the moderate party. Such was the natural mission of France everywhere, and particularly in Italy. " Count de bl.mtalembert wished the Hon. Minister to say something on the late men soon of Ferrara by the Austrian troops. —The act was certainly a very grave one. " The a;inister of -Foreign Affairs—The act was by no means certain ; and he was inclined to think that it had not taken place. Consequi ntly, he must be per mitted to remain silent both as to the fee. and the right." In commenting on this expose of M. GuizoT's po licy the Constitutionnel says— " As regards Switzerland, M. Guiz it has taken a part which is really convenient. He denies all the inten tions that have been ascribed to him, or rather of which facts, those incorruptible witnesses accuse him, but he persists in his policy. •Thus he affirms that he never pretended to mix him elf up in the internal affairs of Switzerland ; tout he never meant to rouse it the r ght of modifjitg its einisteution ; that he never thought of a foreign intervention us a means of restraining the flight of Helvetic liberalism. Weat then signify the threatening notes which he has caused to be addressed to the Verort ? What the complicity of the Cabinet reasonMazpoitaomanbditpastinlplya calumny. The present put forward with inverter with Austria ? Th ere i s a s i mp l e reason, accord i ng to n bMa , b v iG e e ment of Switzerland, accordii g to what M. Guizot says, is owing to the basest, the most subver sive passions. All the world may have believed that there is an honest and regular Government in Switzer land, but no, there are only anarchy, baseness, and cominueistn. This is what M. Gu.z t combats, and not the iwpie , cr•pt•ble right of Switzerland to govern itself, a d to put its constitution in harmony with new wants and interests. But. this right which he would be disposed to recogeise in, for example, a wise Swizz- r land, a Switz-rland Austrian and Absolutist, he re:uses to this anarchical :-!witz 'Hand, which commits the taultof Putting in prac-ice the principles iit the revolution whicn have been so boldly repudiated by our Government. On the whole, it is aeainst an opinion, that 41.. Guizot makes war in Switzerland ; it is against an opinion that he draws up notes; it is to combat an opinion that he sus tains the insurieciiiirial league of the a yen cantons. Now remark that this J ipiiiion according to him is in a majority in ti e Helve is republic ; it unites thirteen votes in the Diet. It- is-then to the majority of Swit z-rland, to the cantons tee most populous, the richest, the most innustrious, the most liberal, the rii..st devoted to Franc?, that he addressed the insu is of his speech of yesterda). An absurd policy, and cenirary to ail our interests! a calumny which is wily a pretext, and which hides an adopted pert of servile') following Austria, in order to escape in appearance from the real isolation in which the Government has so abl) placed itself ! In reply to the second part of the qm , stions of M. de Flavigny, M. Guiz it could only tinu en Italy, mind on the noble Of .rte of the rope, s ome vagu, generalities, which do not engage him either with respect to the Holy Father or to Austria, and which leave him perfectly free to toliow, acciirdeng to c ircumstances, one or the other." It is clearly the - true interest of France to support and encourage in every possible manner the liberty of Switzerland and Italy ; but the national interests of France are sacrificed to the personal interests of the dynasty, which repudiates its revolutionary origin, and is content to reign by the grace of Austria, so that it is permitted to exploiter Spain as well as France, fur the benefit of the family. A letter from Toulon of the 31st ult. says "We think we can announce in a positive manner that the Labrador carries out an order to the Prince DE Jong viLms to return immediately to Toulon with the ,quadron under his command. It appears that the presence of our fleet on the coasts of Italy, at the moment when Austria is assuming a menacing atti tude, is become an embarrassment. The PRINCE in• tended going this year, as the last, to Tripoli, in Barbary, and had already sent forward to these lati tudes the Panama steamer, which returned from Na ples on the 19th."

Sales, 3,000 bales, in cluding 2,500 American, at Old. to 74d. ; and 300 Surat, at to sid per lb.—There was but little business done in Railway Shares, which were all at lower prices. The corn market is heavy this morning, but is not considered lower than on Monday. The trath of the matter is, however, that parties will not buy, and the dealers therefore nominally keep up the quotations. There is a heavy failure already reported, and this is considered to be but the prelude of others. The following information is afforded in a letter from Messrs. Phillpotts and Co. of Gloucester, upon the sub ject ot the corn-trade and the harvest : " The dry weather, which set in at the end of June, continued without intermission during the greater part of the past month, during which period blight and in sects prevailed to an unusual extent; so that some heavy showers about the 20th July. though lodging the crops in partial instances, were, on the whole, of great service. •• heat has ripened more rapidly than for many years; but complaints of blight, yellow maggot, and de ft ctive heads, are so general, that the rt suit of this crop cannot be safely judged of until thrashing has com menced. At present we see no good reason to expect more than an average crop. Reaping begins generally this week, and we may expect that farmers wiIIUSP every effort to bring the new crop early to market. Until the 10th ult. our prices continued to decline. The small supply of English Wheat, and high prices demanded by holders, then caused the consumption of Foreign to in crease, and large quantities of the best samples changed hands for immediate use. The increase ot foreign ar rivals, with therposr. et of the harvest being soon commenced, has now led to a decided reaction, and much largerd'eliVerio have been brought forward by our own growers during the past fortnight. As holders have shown more disposition to realise, purchasers have acted with caution, and the stocks of millers and dealers are reduced to an extremely low point. Reports of foreign harvests are generally favourable, and the de cline of prices in America fully corresponds with that experienced in this country. Sh. old our own crops be well secured, we cannot expect higher prices; but un favourable weather before our harvest is completed, might cause great excitement, and a speedy diminution of the stocks in Merchants' hands." . . - The Bank of England adapted late yesterday after noon a still more stringent course in rrspect to discounts. The minimum charge being now 5i per cent. upon all bills, without reference to date. It is supposed that the French Loan was to have been brought out in a few days, and that these mrasures are to warn our capitalists against participation therein. The Stock Mark€t is in an agitated state yet, and there are but few Bulls. Consols have been as low as 86i for money, but since 861, and 961 for time, though now fp to A large purchase, about 150,0001. has been made by Lawrence, Cazenove, and Company, but we may expect occasional dealir.gs of this kind to close accounts.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) `' CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY. The aimouncement of the failure of one of the leading houses here in the corn trade, and large importers or foreign grain (involved in liabilities between 200,0001. and 300,0001.) had u mos , prejudicial effect noon the de mand t:.-day for all descripii.,llS of g rain. During the present week the arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very moderate scale, and the show of samples this Morning was limited. Still, however, the demand for that article was extremely inactive, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, Monday's prices. At the close of the market a clearer ce had not bes.n effected. Nearly 19,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand this week., A very large quantity was again on offer, while the trade was depressed, and the inferior samples might bane been purchased on easier terms. Tne supply of Barley was :mail; nevertheless, th , ' trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices. With Malt we were scantily supplied. All kinds were very dull, but not lower. Owing to the large imports of foreign, the Oat trade was depressed, at somewhat less money. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, commanded scarely any attention, Oat,.

There were in the market 421 Oxen and Cows, 3,060 Sheep and Lambs, and 325 Calves from - lb - rad; 200 Sheep and Lambs from Ireland, 150 Scots, and .400 Sheep from Scotland. Prime Dovn Sheep were in good request, at very full prices. Other wise, the Mutton trade was dull. The Lamb trade was tolerably firm, but we can notice no improvement in value. Nearly seven hundred Calves were brought for ward, yet theYeal trade was Nteady,.at late rates. In Pigs, ex.!eedingly little was doing, at Monday's curren cies.

This bankrupt, who had carr►.d on bo;itiesT;;; grocer in H • gh-street, Southwark, came up to pas, his last examination, N hich had been adjourned till this day. The SOLICITOR to the assignees said that they did not oppose the nankru..t passing, us the accounts were no doubt the best that the bai:krupt could furnish, but they had to complain of the conduct 4,f one of the sheriff's officers for the county of Surrey, for whose attendance his Honour had granted a summons a few days since, in order that he might he examined touching some pro perty which he had taken in execution, but he was not in attend:thee. As the Croydon Assizes, however, were on, it wa- just possible , he .night have some excuse, although there was little doubt he had been used as on in,trutue•nt to detest the general body of creditors, as tight judgments had been put in, and kept tor six weeks. _ ....... _ His Howoutt asked if the officer had been served per sonally, and on being answered in the affirmative, said the solicitor might have a warrat.t. As to the brit , rupts conduct, ' • it had been very u , j ust to his creditors in general, to whom he owed 2,5001., and all his pro perty had been seized by the parties who held the executi. , ns, and who would get 20s. in the pound, whilst the other creditors said they would. not get a farthing. This conduct would be taken into consideration when the bankrupt came up for his certificate, which would, most certainly, be suspended, in order that his creditors might have an opportunity of putting him in prison. A creditor said, that if the Court withdrew its pro tection from the bankrupt, he certainly would cause the t ankrupt to be taken in Execution. His /I.ONOUR said it was doing a good service.
