Lord BYRON'S prediction is being wonderfully fulfilled nowadays when Freedom's banner, torn, but flying— " Streams like a thunder-cloud against the wind"— that political tornado in which, here and there, something better than a Ministerial straw indi cates the point of the compass from which the hurricane has emanated. Every one feels more or less sensitively, like JOHN JARNDYCE, that just now the wind is decidedly in the Past. Let us hope before long our rulers will prove that, if they cannot with HAMLET, when the wind is in the east, " Know a hawk from a hand-saw," they can recognise at least the difference between an honourable war and a disgraceful pacification. Occurrences are intimating more and more clearly every day the real tendency of these pro tracted negotiations. Occurrences not in one quarter alone, but in all directions indiscrimi nately. Everything assures the impartial spec tator of these events-of-the-hour, that confusion has alone resulted from the miserable attempt at compromise adventured upon by the Vienna Con ference. It is obvious that the warlike passions of Turkey have been only the more effectually aroused by the recent effort of the Four Powers to bring about her immediate degradation. Mean while it becomes apparent that doubts and differ ences are springing up in the bosom of the Con ference itself—so that we are simultaneously re- ceiving rumours of the withdrawal of Austria from the thankless labours of mediation, and of the SULTAN being called upon by his subjects, either to declare war against Russia or to abdi cate his throne—the Feast of Bairam being allowed him as the limit of his choice in the alternative. Nearer home we have heard the Leader of the Commons animating the enthusiasm of the burghers of Greenock by the utterance of fervently patriotic sentiments, while we have seen the Prime Minis ter still holding long private interviews in Lon don with his Excellency the Russian Ambassador. The opinions entertained upon the important question at issue by the Emperor NAPOLEON 111., are well known by this time to the majority : besides which, it is remembered that the foreign administration in the councils of that able and energetic Prince is a statesman no less eminent, no less energetic, no less experienced than M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS. With regard to the Sultan, ABD-UL-MEDJID, it cannot be over looked that his Royal arduor is sympathised with by the manly policy of REDSCHID PACHA, the most enlightened statesman in Turkish dominions. While, in reference to her Britannic MAJESTY, it must continue matter for earnest gratulation among Englishmen that the Court at Balmoral is opportunely attended at this juncture by Vis count PALNIERSTON. Grievous blunders there have been hitherto in the conduct of this great Eas tern Question, but those blunders may still, by adroitness and promptitude, in some measure be rectified. The ignominy resulting from them rimy never be altogether effaced. The pusillanimity of our conduct towards the Sublime Porte, cannot very speedily be forgotten. The baseness of our subserviency to the AUTOCRAT must long remain a blot upon the national escutcheon. But the odium accruing to us from all this may still, even flo w' at th e eleventh hour, be diminished. For, ha pily, th e post of Premier, unlike that of Earl 14-a rshal, is not • hereditary. And has not Turkey still vigour in her institutions , and en th us i asm i n a NAPOLEO N ? her populati on ? And is not France s till ru l e d b y And may not th e d estinies of England be still influenced by the genius, and the energy, and the patriotism of a E., LAIERSTON other two ex-Ministers, Within a week of each a Solicitor ve a Chancellor of the Excheque r , and General at this time last year, h a , been a d om _ ing agricultural dinners with their eloquence. Bothcount of them orators of high mark, and b o th Members. One a Knight of the Shire for E ast su l folk,'and the other for Buckinghamshire, the meet ings'of whose respective Agricultural Associations they honoured, and deemed themselves honoured, by attending. At this dull season, when all domestic news of interest seems to have fled to the grouse and the partridges, some " coming out " was almost hoped for from two such practised speakers, and two such Farmers' Friends. The occasion seemed opportune. Borough Members had just been rehearsing their public deeds to their con stituents and glorying in them ; and here were two prominent Agricultural Members comfortably ensconced at the upper end of the chief table of an Agricultural dinner, yet not a whisper of allu sion to the past Parliamentary conflicts was heard from the lips of either chief. These 'were meetings not to rehearse the merits of Members of Parliament, but to reward the merits of farmers and of the rustic swains and damsels. Politics are by rule forbidden. And know, th ere h ave been times (there must, we l ': • ,be exceptions to 1. Il• es a ) ish any rule) when *political fervour would (led , e ffervesce, yet wh en "l eas t said, soonest men,t, then the rul e b ecomes very conveni ent. Sol the more genial assure l e l uncharitabl e di scourse ; bored with some nine ois r ten n hat if we h a d b een squabbles and battles, we too months of p o liti cal a rule which debarred u s from coileuld gladly obey threadbare topics. vfeaxisom e an d In East Suffolk a Noble speaker , the Earl of STRADBROOKE, did not, according to the Times deserve a prize for historical exactness. in his state' ments respecting Currency, Brillion, and Corn ; according to himself he did. We must decline the umpireship. The Earl, however, by his re mark that emigration was arrived at a pitch which needed to be checked, and by proposing as the means, "improving the habitations of the poor, and erecting them in the vicinity of those places where their labour was required," suggested to oitturinds whether another set of prizes might not be proposed by Agricultural Associations. Some 'of these institutions have already work men's prizes for the best-kept cottages and gardens. What will the Associations say to landlords' prizes for the best-built cottages and largest gardens 7 It would be, in fact, a prize for promoting morality in the relations between the sexes amongst their workmen, and the cleanliness which would save much sickness, widowhood, and pauperism. Landlords' prizes for the best farm ing premises, the most improving leases, the great est freedom from game, and for political non interference with their tenants, might be included in the list ; and perhaps the landlords fortunate enough to win the subscription medal would come to the dinners with a pride not inferior to that with which Mr. DISRAELI'S prizeman would walk into church with his green coat and Association buttons. Sir FITZROY K - Frrax regards the causes of the present prosperity, which he holds to be emigra tion and gold, as but temporary (differing herein from Mr. DupRE, Mr. DISRAELI ' S colleagu e f or Bucks), and therefore wisely exhorts farmers to rely upon their own energy and the mechanical skill of the RANSOMS and GARRETTS. Lucky would it have been for Sir FITZROY had such ad vice been his only advice. Some grey heads an d shining foreheads were doubtless present which felt rather hot under constrained silence as they remembered certain old Protec tionist harangues, not much more than a year ago, and who would have shaken hands after dinner much more heartily with the barrister, had he but been one of the immortal fifty-three. However, byegones must now be byegones, and Sir FITZROY KELLY, they will think, may still use fully watch the case for the East Suffolk farmers. The great majority present happily well under stood that the Legislature, in future, can neither injure them nor help them, except by emancipat ing, to the utmost, that commerce upon the ex tent of which the consuming power of the farmers customers depends. Farmers will soon under stand that even an India Bill deeply concerns them. Abundance of raw cotton from India, and plentiful Indian demands on Manchester looms, mean good customers for flour and meat in Man chester cottages, and good prices for farmers. Agriculture and commerce now most certainly " row in the same boat," and even Suffolk far mers will soon fully understand this. At the Bucks meeting Mr. DISREALI tasked his genius to the effort, vain according to PALEY, of refuting a sneer. Some graceless journals have satirised, lampooned, and sneered at the 50s. and 30s. prizes for bringing up large families without parish relief. The subject is doubtless a most tempting one for banter, and though Mr. DISRAELI did his best in defence of the " humble rewards which gratify the humble," we can hardly say that he has quite reconciled us to th e p ar ti cu l ar . . prize at which the profane of the press and the towns will laugh. Prizes for skill are old enough, and no doubt stimulating. We have witnessed ploughing matches, hedging and ditching matches even, prizes for the best corn stack, arc., and felt a deep interest in such reasonable rustic contests. They are obviously calculated to improve the quality of rural work, but there is plainly some thing different, jesting aside, in a prize to the ' labourer blessed with a fruitful vine, and nume rous olive branches, whose vineyard and oliveyard have cost the parish nothing. Suppose the man's merit is pure love of independence. To us, re warding a man for maintaining his independence to the uttermost, is very like rewarding a woman for maintaining the point of female honour. Hence, it is almost an avowal that so severe are the temptations of the agricultural labourer "to sacrifice his independence, that it has become an artificial virtue of the highest order. Per i haps it was so befOre the New Poor Law ; since then (and most of these. Associations began subsequently to that law) the most strenu ous, and often sever e measures h ave b een • ;aken to make receiving relief as unpleasant and annoying as possible. Hence the labourer is al most coerced into subsisting with his numerous little family, without aid, on the miserable wages hitherto paid him ; and if the coercion has done its work, a shilling or two a year by the time it mounts up to a sovereign or two, is no doubt grateful enough at the moment of reception ; al though fear of the workhouse may have had much more to do with his self-denial than love of inde pendence. He is rewarded, in fact, for having been as afraid as he ought of Poor-Law Terrors. Such pauper benefits as the rules of the Associa tion allow, i. e., poor-law medicine and attend ance at the cost of the parish surgeon, the 40s. prize man has not probably had sufficient inde pendence to eschew. It should, moreo':er, be inquired, how the man has trained his children ? Has he been compelled, in order to escape the dreaded workhouse, to deprive them of their day school, and to send them to farmers' work when the alphabet and play were the only things compatible with their bodily and mental health ? Have his girls, and perhaps his wife, had to do field work, which ought to be reserved for the stronger sex ? And are his family under-sized, of not very robust constitutions, and noted for rustic want of intelligence ? Many are the questions, which, in all soberness, should be answered before the looking-on public can quite relish these anti-pauperism prizes. The labourers themselves, too, must always have a feeling that the prize givers gained the prize many times over in diminished poor-rates. As to the green coats, and Association buttons, with which the Association clothes the " aged and industrious labourers" whom it delights to honour, and in which it expects them to present themselves "at Church," Mr. DISRAELI and his friends must forgive us if we smile. Turning the green to blue, the coat a riband, and the Church to a Court, the Honourable Member's imagination fancies the aged rustic at Church, as pleasantly conscious of his distinction as a Knight of the Garter at Court ! We could have wished for a more secular place to discuss the workman's pride in than the Church ; but passing that by, we fancy there are hut ew rural villages now where the man in green would not be conscious of ex citing a smile amongst his own class (the most im portant to him), and where the one-coloured coat would not be regarded, as a coat of many colours once was, as a sign of favouritism rather than of merit, and where it would not be worn chiefly for fear of offending the givers, and with feelings a r d e d d i t t of awk wardness rather than of pride. While we think th e particular prizes adverted to not very c habat m le to r.

PROGRESS OF THE STEAM-SHIP GREAT 13RITAIN. Mesrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co.'s magnificent steamer, the Great Britain, arrived at St. Vincent on the 24th of August, and sailed thence again at two o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th. She has thus made the passage to St. Vincent in twelve days and about eighteen hours, her departure from this port being on the afternoon of the 11h of August. All the passengers were well, and spending the time most pleasantly under the genial auspices of Captain Mathews and his officers, St. Vin cent is as nearly as possible halfway to the Cape of Good Hope, and it is anticipated that the Great Britain will, with favourable or even moderate weather complete the passage to Melbou rne i n fift y d ays .

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed heavily. All descriptions, except solid Orleans, being lower. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales (of which, 1,500 were for export), comprising 220 Pernams and Maranhams, at 60. to Bd. ; 100 Bahia,-at 61d. to 6/d. ; 300 Egyptian, at 6d. to 11d. ; and 300 Surat, at 2-id. to 4d. per lb. Rail way Shares receded fully 2 per cent. In the produce markets this week there have i been moderate purchases. Sugar has been at about ! the former range, but coffee has gone lower, and for cocoa the demand has not improved. Tea has been in request, owing to the advices from China, and the difficulty of purchasing by means of barter. Rice has been in demand at a further rise, and rum has been wanted. For tallow there has been a large speculative inquiry, and at a further decided improvement in the quotations. Manilla hemp has been sold at a decline of 3/. per ton. Jute has been firm. Cotton has been dull, at barely pre vious rates. There are no later ship arrivals this morning with news of any interest, and attention is wholly absorbed by the Continental political intelligence. Business is greatly interfered with, and every de partment begins now to feel the injurious eftects of the existing suspense. There has been a good deal of business trans acted in English Stocks and the depression owing principally to speculative sales, has continued. Consols have been 90i, and since 94* for Trans fer, 90 and subsequently 94 to for account. At present there is more buoyancy owing to the loans which will be made by the Bank, and even the telegraph, stating that the Conference is united in urging upon Turkey the acceptance of the Vienna Note gives a little, encouragement. The enormous amount of the sales for time should be estimated by those who seek to arrive at an expla nation of the actual present position of the market, for although the money sales are large, they are exceeded ten-fold probably by the operations for Account. Exchequer Bills have been ss. to 10s. discount, and India Bonds 3s. discount to par. East India Stock has been dealt in at 250. In the Foreign Market there have been a few sales at lower rates, but securities representing the debt of countries out of Europe ought not to be so much affected, as others. Sardinian Stock hasbeen marked 92. Austrian 5 per Cents. have been quoted 87, and Dutch 2i per Cents. have been down to 63k to for money, though done at 63f for Account. Spanish New Deferred Bonds have realised 22-4 to and Portuguese 4 per Cents. 43 to f . Mexican Stock has been at 24i to 241, and Peruvian at 72i and 73k. Brazillian Old Five per Cents. have been done at mai and 101. The fall in English Railway Shares, previously so great, has made further progress, and the Bears for the time rule pre-eminent. Caledonian have dropped 1/. to 21. ; Great Western, 15s. to 1/. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. to 15s. ; Midland, ss. ; North British, ss. to 10s. ; York and Ber wick, 1/. to 2/. ; and others in proportion. The French lines keep up more firmly, comparatively, than the rest, but Northern are cheaper. Stras bourg are in demand at high prices, owing to the new shares to be allotted to existing holders. At this moment all the English lines rule firmer on account of the measure announced at the Bank. The Gold Mine shares have been a little weaker, but can scarcely be called lower. The Australian Bank Shares are merely nominal, no transactions being reported, but in the Bank of Asia there is a decline. The Land Companies are about the same.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) FAILURE OF A LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION.- IN RE STRICKLAND. This bankrupt was described of Crescent -street, Ken sington, and Symond's-inn, Chancery-lane, wine mer chant ; and to-day was ap iiginted for his last examination. From the accounts prellned by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, extending from Jan. 7, 1852, to Aug., 1853, it appears that the bankrupt is liable, a one of the directors of the Counties Union A ssurance Company, to the extent of 2,1511. 14s. 6d.; debtor to creditors, 1041. 6s. 4d.; ditto to judgment crediitors, 1551. lls.; capital, 1,3341. 2s. 11d.; profits, 187 Z. 15s.

The company proving a complete failure, proceedings were taken in this court against the bankrupt. The accounts being satisfactory, the bankrupt passed. IN BE DAVIS. This bankrupt had carried on business as an hotel keeper at Colney Hatch, and to-day was appointed for consideration of his certificate. The balance-sheet prepared by Messrs. Robinson and Knowles shows debtor to creditors, 1,8471. 6s. sd. ; do. holding security, 3,6851. 2s. 6d. ; profits, 1,7701. 17s. 7d.; creditor, good debts, 7931. 14s. ld. ; property realised, 1501. ; property in the hands of creditors estimated at 4,2331. 18s. ; general losses,l, 0591. ; hotel expenses, 5421. 9s. 7d. ; personal from Jan., 1852, to Feb. 1853, 2021. 10s. Mr. Bagley appeared to oppose on behalf of the cre ditors, on the ground of reckless trading, in having taken the Railway Tavern without capital, and also that he had purchased land on speculation, although he was se pressed that there were eleven executions out against him. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, contended that there had been no recklessness, for he had been put into the house, which was most advantageously situated near the railway station, by a gentleman named Smith, with a condition that the bankrupt should be allowed to pur chase the property at the expiration of the lease, and that it was of much larger value than the amount the bankrupt had to pay. As to the other purchase, the land had fetched much more than the an count paid, and that in the immediate vicinity for an acre and three quarters the enormous sum of 2,9281. had _recently been paid. His Honour said that no one had a right to speculate when he had no capital to pay his creditors, in the event of the speculation proving a failure. Certificate suspended for six months from the last ex amination in June, and then to be of the second class, w W i t ' ll t i k n s the walls IM PROVEMENTS AT THE TOWER OF LONDoll.—Yes wEaullisldoinfgts h , .ter i day, b y or d er of the Commissioners of her M a j esty ' s e t h T e o m w a e t r e r i o a f l s L o o f n t d h o e n, house and s w i t u h i a c t h e I was called the L .

Intelligence from Copenhagen of he 18th men- tions of a couple of cases of cholera, but no deaths. Here we have had the cholera now for eight weeks, but the epidemic appears sensibly to de crease. The last three weeks the proportion was 80, 72, 36 cases. The accounts from Stockholm continue to repre sent the cholera as making very fearful progress. On the 13th inst. there had been 165 attacks and 113 deaths. Upon the whole 2,538 cases and 1,401 deaths. Mr. Ranvyl Schutt, for some years for merly Mexican Vice-Consul in Hamburg, had fallen a victim to the disease. Now, from the account given from Carlscrona, in Sweden, it will appear that the dreadful havoc which the cholera has made, has been in a great measure attributed to the bad quality of the water, as out of a population of 12,000 inhabitants there have been 1,767 cases, and 932 deaths. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S FIRST VISIT TO THE NORTHERN DEPARTMENTS OF FRANCE. It would be difficult to describe fully the enthu siasm of the inhabitants of the ancient town of Arras in their essay to give effect to the prepara tions for the due reception of the Emperor and Empress. For the, last week the greatest efforts have been made to render the visit of the august personages one not easily to be forgotten by the population, and agreeable to their Majesties. It is said in England that the French are fond of witnessing decorations, yet it may be observed, with equal truth, that Englishmen are by no means less enamoured with that which pleases the eye, or why so many of our countrymen in this remote provincial place at this moment ? Why is it that they have been arriving at Arras for the last two days, not on commercial speculations, but assuredly to have their part of the pleasure to be derived from this the first of a series of ovations to the French Emperor and Empress in their northern provinces ? _ - The scene here may, without exaggeration, be said to be truly magnificent ; every street has its triumphal arches, and even the very pathways have their festoonings of laurels and flowers, while the windows and house-tops have their decorations of garlands. This display is not confined to the prin cipal thoroughfares through which Royalty is to pass, but extends to the byways of the town inha bited by the poorest of the population ; and in the latter localities the expenditure is defrayed out of their own slender resources, without the slightest aid on the occasion from their more affluent fellow townsmen—a fact of itself highly indicative of their esteem for the Sovereign. All the decorations were completed as early as three o'clock on Thursday morning —the flowers having been plucked but a few hours prior to their being fashioned into their respective positions, for the better preservation of their fragrance, a precau tion characteristic of th e care bestowed by the French artist in the minutest detail, and which gives them that pre-eminence so widely acknow ledged in efforts for effect. At the railway station is a superb canopy, crowned with evergreens entwined with the choicest bouquets, and over all the golden eagle, with, on either side, the letters N. and E. (Napo leon and Eugenie), worked in burnished gold. The national flag floats majestically from various points of this tastefully-arranged erection, while the flooring, surfaced with green velvet, infringed with golden lace, augments the imposingness of the interior. Passing the last-mentioned point of attraction, we behold, from the Porte Ronville to the Prefec ture, the entire length of a long line of streets, bearing ample testimony to the ingenuity of those employed in catering for the occasion. Here are trees growing, as it were, for years, yet not many hours in the pathway they skirt, at both sides of the roadways. There is even unity in this tem porary plantation, gaily woven garlands and fes toonings gracefully linking them into brother hood, while the letters " N." and " E.," most artistically worked in flowers, catch the eye on all sides. So far as the proprietors of the prin cipal houses feel concerned, a restless spirit of emulation would seem to have taken possession of them, for even now, that which at an early hour of the morning was admitted to be faultless, is momentarily undergoing additional embellish ments ; and as a few commence such augmenta tions, they are rapidly followed by the surround ing neighbourhood. The grandest sight, however, is that of the Pre- fecture. Here has been a lavish display of what efforts regardless of expenditure can achieve. Two superbly draperied canopies, over one platform, richly covered with velvet of green and gold, the bordering studded with golden bees, and the royal arms emblazoned in varied embroidery ; the eagle, surmounted with a crown, capped the canopies, and the two splendid throned chairs. Indeed, the whole may be said to be a masterpiece of artistic skill. As early as eight o'clock in the morning the various deputations from the town and communes began to assemble, and at ten o'clock the municipal body were hurrying to the rendezvous for the purpose of being marshalled according to the rules laid down by the municipal authorities for pre cedency. The - military in the town having been reinforced by detachments from neighbouring towns, were, like the civilians, alive to the interest of the scene, and at an early period of the morning they were to be seen marching in sections, headed by drummers, from the lower to the upper town. As the time drew on towards three o'clock, the prefect, his officers, the municipal body, and th e deputations of the trades, together with a depu tation on behalf of the peasantry of the district, took up their positions in the place allotted to them, adjacent to the canopy at the railway station, while the eltte of the town, to the number of some 3,000, had taken their seats in an immense amphitheatre, which had been constructed at their own cost. At four o'clock the Bishop of Arras, with other high dignitaries of the Church, approached the hall leading to the canopy, and there, surrounded by their clergy in full canonicals, they awaited the momentary expected arrival of their Majesties. The picture presented at this moment was most im posing —the dark crowds of people serving as a relief to the gay festooning of flowers, while silken flags wafting in the breeze, augmented the effect. It was stated that there, could not have been fewer than 200,000 persons in the town ; and when it is considered that the population of Arras is under 26,000, it may easily be believed that the interest must have been extreme which could add so greatly to that number. At a few minutes to five o'clock their Majesties' arrival was signalled by the booming of heavy guns, whereupon the bell of the cathedral, quickly fol lowed by those of the various churches of the town, informed all that the visit for which they had been so eagerly looking forward had been at length placed beyond the possibility of doubt. Their Majesties were received by the Bishop of Arras, the prefect, the mayor, and the municipal body, and were amidst the most vociferous cheer ing of the multitude, and a salute of artillery, on thir way to the Prefecture to receive the addresses of the townspeople, through their deputations, when this despatch was being sent off. The lower and upper town are to be brilliantly illuminated to-night, and a grand ball, to which their Majesties are invited, is to take place.

There was a meeting of the English residents of the town yesterday afternoon, to consider the pro priety of presenting an address to the Emperor on his arrival ; but as the English consul, by his offi cial position, did not feel at liberty to be present and take part in the special object in view, the assemblage, notwithstanding that their chaplain had prepared the address, separated, upon the un derstanding that it would be superfluous for them to trouble his Majesty during his brief sojourn in the town, which they thought even to short to enable him to receive the compliments of his own subjects as fully as they would desire to ex press them. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS, FRANCE. The Emperor and Empress quitted the Palace of St. Cloud yesterday morning at half-past eleven o'clock. The cortege consisted of six carriages. Their Majesties arrived at the St. Denis Station of the Northern Railway shortly after twelve o'clock, where they were received by the directors and by a number of high functionaries. Their Majesties were placed in the waggon of honour, and the train pro ceeded on its journey. The Emperor and Empress attened the first re presentation of the new ballet of "Elia Mysis at the grand opera last evening. Queen Christina and the Duchess de Alba were also present ; they were in box opposite to that occupied by their Majesties. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, who had been absent for some days from Paris,—an absence for which some foreign journals assigned a political motive,—has returned. The Union states that M. Dronyn de Lhuys has had a long conference with the Emperor, and has since received the Turkish Ambassador. The IVloniteur announces that the Queen of England has designated the Earl of Lucan the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Bingham, and Co lonel Dupis, to visit the camp of Helfaut to compliment the Emperor. The raising of the camp of Helfaut is to take place on the 27th. The Minister of Finance has extended the de cree of Sept. 5, freeing from all navigation dues in the interior of France vessels laden altogether with corn or other articles of food, to such vessels as are only partially laden with such articles. The dues will be levied only on the miscellaneous portion of their cargoes. The Minister of the Interior has given a first warning to the Constitutionnel for " continuing, for purposes of pr i vate speculation, to write up, in its Bourse articles, certain industrial enterprises, and to depreciate others, by discrediting them by means of erroneous and malevolent appreciations," notwithstanding the friendly warnings given it to the contrary. Letters from Germany announce that the Count de Chambord is to visit the Duchess of Berry at Brunsee, in Styria, on the 29th of this month, being his birthday. The friends who wish to cele brate the Count's birthday are to meet for that purpose. Letters from French Guiana of the 13th August state that the Governor had found it necessary to declare the colony in a state of siege, in conse quence of disturbances and acts of rebellion com mitted in the island of La Mere, one of the places of provisional confinement of the convicts. The Bourse was heavy yesterday, and sales diffi cult. The Three per Cents. opened at 76f. 85c., fell to 76f. 65c., rose subsequently to 76f. 90c. and closed at 76f. 85c. for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 101 f. 80c. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,232 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,057 f. 50c. ; Havre, 515 f. ; Great Northern, 855 f. ; Paris and Strasburg, 962 f. 50c. ; Paris and Lyons, 920 f. ; Lyons to the Mediterranean, 765 f.; Western of France, 730 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette, 607 f. 50c. ; Great Central, 525 f. ; Lyons to Ge neva, 525 f. ; Shares of the Bank of Credit Mobilier, 777 f. 50c. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna, received in Paris yesterday evening, announces that, upon the demand of Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, new con ferences had taken place, at which was decided that the representatives of the Powers at Constan tinople shall declare that the Vienna note does not contain the dangers which the Porte sees in it. No other collective step will be taken. The lithographic news sheet of Berlin states that on the 17th the Prussian Government sent to M. de Wildeubruch, its Ambassador at Constantinople, dispatches enjoining him to induce the Ottoman Porte to accept without modification the note of Vienna. It adds that the Prussian Consul-Ge neral in the Danubian Principalities, M. de Meuse bach, has received a decoration from the Czar. Letters from Constantinople of the Bth ult., say —that independently of the placards, which con tinued to be posted up every night on the walls of the principal mosques, the inhabitants of Constan tinople have publicly signed'addresses to the Sultan and to his Ministers, entreating them to march against the enemy without waiting any longer for the support of France and England. These ad dresses and placards produce great sensation among the people. M. Kossuth has caused the feelings of the Porte to be sounded as to his wish to return to Constantinople, but it had not shown the slightest eagerness to encourage his wishes. SPAIN. A telegraphic dispatch from Madrid of the 19th inst., received at Paris, announces the formation of the new Cabinet as follows : President of the Council and Prime Minister of State—Count de San Luis. Interior—Senor Estevan Collantes. War—General Blazer. Justice—Marquis de Girona. Marine—Marquis do Molins. Public Works—Senor Domenech. The Department of Finance is thought to have been reserved for Senor Llorente, now at Paris. Where is also the Marquis de Molins ? Of these gentlemen, the Marquis de Molins and the Count de San Luis were colleagues of Marshal Narvaez, and had withdrawn with him in 1851. The Marquis de Gerona was then President of the Cortes. M. Domenech was Minister of Finance in the Olozaga Ministry, and belongs to the Progres sista party. General Blazer is considered an intelligent offi cer, who has no political precedents. The cause of this new crisis, is not yet known, but, it was foreseen some days since at Madrid. It is said that the Queen was dissatisfied with the cabinet, the weakness of which was pointed out to her. General Lersundi and his colleagues could neither succeed in setting aside or solving several serious questions, and the Queen wished to put an end to such a state of things. The Voce del Pueblo had suspended its publi cation. The Three per Cents. were done at ; the New Three per Cents., at 23/ ; the Debt of the First Class, at 10 3-16 ; and that of the Second, at 51. ITALY. The question of the railway which is to unite the Mediteranean with Germany, via Switzerland, had been solved, to the great satisfaction of Genoa, by the Council-General of Ticino, now sitting at Bel linzona. The city of Genoa is to supply six mil lions of livres. The Sardinian Government is also to vest a large sum in the undertaking. Towards the close of the year two great sections will be com pleted, and Genoa, will communicate with Suza, at the foot of Mont Cenis. -- On the occasion of the opening of the Turin and Gbeern,ot ilswtaoy'blevhaitch is to take place in Decem- Genoa an exhibition of works a he ß re ai of art and industry, and of productions of agricul ture and horticulture. The military manoeuvres, at the Camp of Ma impeded and favoured by weather. y Those performed on the rainre g Ma rengo, and were fin alternately t ernatel 17th figured an attack against the fortress of Alexandria, which, in case of war, would become the pivot of operations. The Minister of War had ordered a levyy of 12,000 recruits of the class of 1852, 9,000 of whom are intended for the active service, and 3,000 for the reserve. Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador, was preparing to leave his chateau of Rivoli for Vienna. The question of the sequestered estates, ne glected on account of the difficulties in the East, are becoming daily more envenomed. Mr. Thomas Brassey, the contractor for the ex ecution of the Novara Railway, had given the infant schools of charity of Turin a sum of 1,000 livres. eT M dh . aet A rme n ii t gl o an n ni Kramer, distinguished chymist, d g o n e m l e 6r a h . Sovereign of Modena left, on the 16th, for Olmut z , on an i nv itation of the Emperor of Austria, to assist at the military manoeuvres. " The letters which we receive from Rome," says the Constitutionnel, " speak of the intermittent fever which prevails there. The warm weather of July and August has afflicted our soldiers dread fully. The number of persons ill is still consider able, but fortunately the number of deaths is not very great, and the malady yields to an intelligent treatment. The military authorities have besides adopted the wisest measures, and have been ably seconded by M. Alquier, inspector genaral of hos pitals, who had just arrived at Rome on a tour of inspection, and who, already in 1849, had been able to render great service to the army in analo gous circumstances. Thanks to the good organisa tion of the service, the epidemic will pass away with out causing many vacancies in the ranks of our troops. ” FETES AT BOULOGNE. The Boulogne New Times, in ftdescription of the preparations made for the reception of their Majesties at Boulogne, says—" There is a curious fact connected with the life of Mr. Wiart, who is engaged to paper and furnish the Royal apartments, which deserve to be recorded. It is now 50 years since he established himself as an upholsterer at St. Omer. There he was soon distinguished for his taste, his simple although rich and effective style of decoration, so much so, that when the Em peror Napoleon I. came to Boulogne, Mr. Wiart was sent for to prepare a worthy habitation for his reception. He did so, gave satisfaction, and settled in Boulogne, where for nearly 40 years he was without a rival. During that time he saw many changes. He it was who was employed to prepare the apartments for the Duke of Clarence, when he came over to receive the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, when they visited England ; he it was who was called upon to decorate the apartments prepared for those Sovereigns, during their residence in Boulogne—and now, 50 years after his first visit to Boulogne for one Emperor, he is called upon, at the age of 70, to prepare a fitting reception room for Napoleon 111., whose ' Empire is peace,' the nephew of that Napoleon, the god of war, who first called his abilities into notice at Boulogne. That he has not lost either taste, or simple richness of decoration, our readers will allow, after perusing a short description of the present state of the Sous-Prefecture." Judging from the accounts in this journal all the prepara tions are on a magnificent and extensive scale. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday, the first court after the holidays was held, and was very numerously attended. After some business of a formal character had been disposed of, Mr. H. L. Taylor rose and said—My Lord Mayor, I have waited a moment or two since the confirmation of the minutes of our last meeting, to see if any member would take notice of a circumstance patent to us all. I had looked round to see whether my friend Deputy Bennoch (the Lord Mayor's deputy) was in the court. Until the present moment I did not know that he was. Since we last met we have heard of a very serious acci dent that has occurred, in which your lordship was very much concerned. (Hear.) It was with deep regret that the members of this court heard of such an acci dent, and I may say that I express the feeling of the members of this court generally when I say that they are most delighted to see your lordship again in your place, and that you have not met with such a serious accident as to prevent your lordship from attending to your official duties. (Applause.) If I were in order I would record my feelings by placing something on record, evincing the feelings of respect which I, in common with the other members of the court, en tertain towards your lordship, and our great delight at your having escaped more serious injury. (Hear, hear.) I have now the very great pleasure of moving, "That this court, having learnt with deep regret the perilous position in which the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor has recently been placed, when on a journey upon the Great Northern Railway, to pay a friendly visit to the municipal authorities at Sheffield, congratu late his lordship upon escaping with his life from the imminent danger to which he was exposed ; and the court earnestly hope he may be spared many years to his family, and to continue his important services to his fellow "citizens." (Cheers.) Deputy Bennoch—My Lord Mayor, I confess that I feel, after the pointed reference which has been made to me by my friend Mr. Taylor, somewhat excited and partly unnerved. I only arrived in town at an early hour this morning, in consequence chiefly of the holding of this court. It is a fortunate circumstance that I was not present previously to my friend's rising, for the pur pose of congratulating your lordship and the court for this marvellous and almost miraculous escape—(Cheers). I believe it is much more complimentary to your lord ship—l believe it is much more honourable to the feel ings of this court—that you should receive from them the spontaneous thanks of the universal body at the in stant, and without the task, which has fallen into very able hands, devolving on me. I with great pleasure second the resolution, and add my sympathy to that, I am sure, of every member of this court—(Cheers). The RECORDER having put the resolution, it was car ried with acclamation. The LORD MAYOR (who was deeply moved) said—l feel very greatly indebted to my excellent friend Mr. Taylor, and to the deputy, for the kind manner in which they have introduced this most unexpected rosolution--(Hear, hear). Next to the gratitude I owe to a kind Providence in preserving my life under such truly lamentable circum stances, I owe it certainly to a large number of friends, whose kind sympathy and whose warm expression of feeling would stimulate any man towards a career enti tling him to such esteem and respect. (Cheers.) But amongst them all I could receive a testimony of this kind from no body of persons which recommends itself to my feelings and affections so much as this in the Court of Common Council. (Cheers.) Deeply sensible of the obligations I owe to them, if I needed any other stimulus to devote my humble energies to the prospe rity of the City of London, I should find it in the very kind and flattering manner in which this resolu tion has been proposed,seconded and received. (Cheers.) Eight members were chosen to be returned to the Court of Aldermen to supply vacancies in the office of commissioners, under the act of parliament " for grant ing to her Majesty duties on profits arising from pro perty, professions, trades, and offices." A bill to repeal certain acts regulating the return of jurors to serve on the Mayor's Court and Sheriffs' Courts of the City of London, and to make other regu lations in lien thereof was read a third time and passed. LONDON BRIDGE. Mr. H. L. TAYLOR moved :—" That it be referred to the Bridge-house estates committee to ascertain the con dition of London Bridge, as regards the stability of its structure, and to consider the expediency and practicability of constructing a way for foot passengers on the eastern and western sides, and appropriating the entire centre thereof for a carriage road. And in the event of the committee recommending the same being carried out, that they do procure drawings of the proposed altera tions, with an appropriate estimate for the erection of the work, and that the committee do consider what funds are most applicable to defray the cost, and how the money could best be raised ; and to report thereon to this court, with the fullest information on the sub ject."—Agreed to. CITY OF LONDON FREEMEN'S ORPHAN SCHOOL. Mr. Deputy HALE brought up the report of the com mittee, with the draft of general rules, and for the ap pointment of master, matron, mistress, and servants of the establishment. The design of the institution is to provide for the maintenance and the religious and vir tuous education of orphans of freemen of the City of London. The objects of the charity are—children of freemen who are orphans by the death of their father, and are without adequate means of being maintained and educated ; but children whose parents were reduced in circumstances through casualties they could not avert, are especially eligible for admission. The number to be educated and maintained in the school, until otherwise determined by the Court of Common Council is one hundred, viz. -70 boys and 30 girls. No children to be eligible under the age of seven or above the age of ten years, or who are maintained at the parish charge, or deformed, &c. Before the admission of a child an engagement to be entered into to receive such child upon removal from the school. The children to be main tained, clothed, and educated until they shall attain the age of 14 years. The power of expelling from the school to be in the committee. The control and man agement to be in the Court of Common Council. The management and superintendence of the affairs of the institution to be vested in a committee appointed by the Court of Common Council, which committee is to be empowered to exercise all the powers and authorities and discretion given by act of Parliament to the Court of Common Council, and to make rules and bye-laws for the regulation and management of the school, and to appoint the several officers of the institution. Then fol lows various matters connected with the election of the children, and an account of the subjects of instruction. The report w as or d ered to be printed and circulated amongst the members of the court. CORN, COAL, AND FINANCE COMMITTEE. Mr. RICHARD CAPEL LAMBE brought up a report re commending the grant of 1051. to the parochial and national schools of Christ Church, Spitalfields ; also a report recommending the grant of 2101. to the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck. Mr. JAMES Low moved, as an amendment, " That the sum of 100 guineas be substituted for 2101." The amendment, having been seconded by Mr. Carr, was negatived, there being but three hands held up in its favour. A sum of 521. 10s. was voted to the Royal South London Dispensary. PROPOSED NEW STREET FROM CANNON-STREET WEST TO EARL-STREET, BLACKFRIARS. Mr. T. H. HALL moved—" That it be referred to the improvement committee to consider and report the pro bable cost of making a new street from Cannon-street West to Earl-street, Blackfriars, in the line laid down by Mr. Bunning in the year 1846." The motion having been seconded,. Mr. HAWKINS moved, by way of amendment, to add the following words :—" And that it be referred to the improvement committee to consider and report to this court what line of street would, in their opinion, best tend to relieve the present pressure of traffic on Lud gate-hill, and the cost thereof." Mr. BARKLY seconded the amendment, which Was put and negatived. The original motion was then carried. THE CHOLERA. (From the General Board of Health, Whitehall.) NEWCASTLE. Deaths on the 21st of September:— Cholera .... Diarrhcea.. Total number of deaths at Newcastle, up to present date, 935. During a like number of days in 1831.2/ the number of deaths was 156. GATESHEAD. The total deaths from cholera, in Gateshead, for the first fifteen days of the attack of 1831-2, was 125. For the same period of the attack of 1852, 227. Many persons have left the foul and crowded parts of the town. A portion are encamped on the moor. The local authorities are employing all the medical assistance they can procure, having given carte blanche to the . medical inspectors for that purpose. Four medical pra3tioners have been sent from London, at the request of the local authdrities, to act under the superintending inspectors, and two more will start this evening. HEXHAA.f. ----- The medical officer reports that not 1 ess than 500 cases of diarrhoea have been treated, of which several have passed into cholera. During the last five days 7 deaths from cholera have occurred, making 11 deaths since the first appearance of the epidemic.

After a long and desultory discussion the meeting was adjourned until to-morrow evening, to receiv e . 16 report from the surveyo r an d i nspector of all the og e sauces now existing throughout the district. In meantime the inhabitants will look to the prompt aetl°' undo and summary powers of th e b oar d o f guar di an s, the Diseases Prevention Act, rather than the tardyni ° , le ; ments of the Board of H ea lth, f or a t h oroug h clean s '."" and purification of the royal borough. DURHAM, Three more cases have occurred here on Wedneod* terminating fatally. The measures for the prevention of cholera which were adopted by the Board of lilt have been actively and efficiently carried out.

Vi There is, at present, less dis ease or s i c k nes s in a -.-- than there has been generally at this season of the Yea r i though there have been lately two or three fatal ceees4 cholera—one at l eas t o f them being Asiatic. The u case occurred in a foreign vessel in one of the dock about three weeks ago. Subsequently, a youth,. _ : Ncl i f had partaken " not wisely b u t t oo well" of unripe Tf" and who lived in a badly ven til ate d d we lli ng, i n „ pelt, was seized with diarrhcea, and died soon law' ; Another fatal case, occurred i n th e t own some f e w . ago ; and yesterday, a female, residing in Trippet, attacked. SHEEBORNE. Although this town has been mercifully spared fr y the severe epidemics which i n f ormer years d eva stat e d 7, our country, diarrhoea has been un common ly prevaler.' twenty-four cases occured between Saturday morning last and Tuesday night, some of them of a very Ser ra ,. character. There have been also two cases o f Eng lo3 ' . cholera, but the parties attack e d h ave recovere d. Mr' White, the medical officer of the union for Sherborne district, has issued a notice, earnestly requesting poor people suffering from diarrhoea to make instant applicw tion to him for remedies. MANCHESTER. No new cases of cholera had occurred here and doubts are beginning to be cast upon the case which was considered so undoubted on Wednesday. A re lieving officer of the Manchester Union investigated the case soon after it was reported to the clerk of the union, and by his directions, and he learned from she mother of the deceased woman that about eight or nine mond? after giving bi r th t o eac h o f h er children she has csuf fered severely f rom cramp i n t h e stomach, and the , woman declares that th e a tt ac k which proved fatal 17 ,7: one of those cramp s an d no t th e c h o l era, as to t h a t is quite at issue with the medical men. The s trong dislike which e ld er ly persons i n t h e l ower c l asses hal"• to bearing it said that any persons belonging to thew have died of an epidemic is however a sufficient reason for believing that her account is not to be relied upella The conduct of the m e di ca l men o f S a lf o rd a° Manchester is to be regarded with admirotif: The notice calling th em t oge th er was b ut s h or t, a le_u hours, and th e y a tt en d e d most promptly, not t o che er disease, but to p reven t it s appearance, o f course to the own pecuniary disadvantage. The following statenie: d of opinions, assuming the form of directions were ag e to : " We, the undersigned, members of the medical Pre • fession in p rac ti ce i n Manchester, Salford, and t h e neighbourhood, neighbourhood, are of opi n i on , th at i n consequence, the appea rance o f A s i a ti c c h o l era in some parts of tue kingdom, it i s urgen tl y necessary that the follow h !g precAptiiinary and preventive measures be immediate l y adopted by the proper authorities in this district :-- 1.
