SEPTEMBER 15, 1847 That some direct communication between the .Courts of Rome and England has been long requisite is becoming more obvious every successive day to the two Governments. Our forefathers, however, bl, an aggregation of bigotry and intolerance, erected barriers between St. James's and the Vatican, which still prevent any overt or directly official intercourse between the counsellors of the Sovereign PONTIFF and those of her Britannic ALL- Jan - v. Obsolete as the prejudices of the two princi palities have become, the statutes which originally pronounced their estrangement are yet maintained, with the exception of the prainunire, under the sth ELIZABETH, ch. I. s. 2., a statute virtually repealed by the 9th and 10th VICTORIA, ch. 59. Under these circumstances—debarred from any immediate mani festation of friendship, and driven to a sort of diplomatic stratagem by the ignorant pro visions of our ancestor, the present Adminis tration has contrived to evade the legal obstruc tions by a very ingenious preliminary—to turn the mountains, as BONAPARTE did the Alps in 1796, instead of surmounting them, as he afterwards did in 1801. Our readers are already acquainted with the nature of the ingenious arrangement by which the Government is now preparing the way for the establishment of a cordial understanding between the Cabinets of Pope Pius IX. and Queen VICTORIA. Considering that Lord MINT° the party selected to proceed to Rome, rid Turin, with the intention of corresponding with the Liberal administratioa ap- pointed under the propitious Pontificate of FERRETTI, there is every probability, we might even say there is every certainty, that whatever obstructions still remain to the settlement of a treaty ofamity between the powers of Rome and Great Britain, will be removed before the re-assembling of the new Parliament, and con sequently that the Ministers will then be enabled to bring the matter under the consideration of the House of Commons. The distinguished position of the Earl of MINTo, his near relationship to the Prime Minister, his intimate connexion with the present- Cabinet, and the acknowledged abilities as a diplomatist which his Lordship has perfected by many years of experience in the discharge of various responsible offices and upon occasions of particular delicacy, justify us in anticipating for his extraordinary mission to the Pontifical dominions a speedy and remarkable success. From his own individual character and the influence derived from his Ministerial connexions, Lord Mmo is invested with an authority which will for the time being com pensate for his non-appearance in any official or ac credited capacity. The Government of his Holiness will doubtless recognise in the arrival at Rome of a nobleman so peculiarly well qualified to act as a precursor to an actual Ambassador, the solicitude evinced by the Russell Administration to establish, as rapidly and cordially as possible, an open commu nication between States which are already so ear nestly allied in the syrnpathi• s inspired by the prin ciples of liberality. All those who abhor the main tenance of obsolete statutes, and who are filled with a real detestation of civil and religious intolerance, will applaud, in the departure of Lord Miziro for the Papal Court, the bold and honourable spirit of our Government, and will exult that by a very simple but ingenious proceeding, the blundering interdicts of our forefathers have been so effectually an d dis tinctly evaded. That a very large proportion of the population of these islands are animated by sentiments of admira tion fur the Italians, and especially for the great Reformer who is crowned with the tiara, is unde niable. Englishmen are watching the gradual eman cipation of Italy with a profound sympathy for the ruler in whose counsels that movement originated. What a preposterous anomaly, therefore, would it not be to perpetuate those clumsy enactments of our predecessors, whereby all intercourse is impracticable between ourselves and the Papal States ! What an extravagance would it not be to continue those laws in operation which would compel our sym pathy for Roman patriotism to manifest itself surreptitiously, out of a reverence for the legislative wisdom (Heaven save the mark .) of our punctili ous forefather s ! I t were superfluous, however, toinsist upon the absurdit y, not to say the impracticability, of keeping up a fictitiou s estrangement between the free Government of England and the Liberative Govern ment of Rome. Already has his Majesty the King of PRUSSIA...-. FREDERICK Wterisest IV. —the patriotic King-- one of the most Protestant of Sovereigns pressed his approval of the course adventured upon by the POPE, when alluding to the pro ceedings of the Holy Father, in a conversation with his Imperial Highness the Prince of CANmo. Already has the United States ar ranged the preliminaries for establishing an Envoy in the Eternal City. Shall England alone remain in different to the new career opened for the Italians— and this simply because past generations erected the obstacles of illib era li ty ? The Government of Lord JOHN RUSSELL has recognised the unnaturalness of our position ; and Lord MINTO has departed for R':'rne for the purpose o f preparing the way for the „t a i e lishment of a diplomatic intercourse. A fresh i mpem s will be imparted to the patriotic movement of the Valiana when a n E ngl i sh Ambassador isresi dent in ROzne, and an Apo s t o li c Nuncio in London. For Italy, through all the vicissit u d es of her present struggle, looks especially to Eng land for encouraement—to England the first ' stronghold of civil and religious liberty —the island w biph the flignea of freedom have burnt brightly during many centuries. It is well that the credit of this alliance should he acquired by the Cabinet of a RUSSELL--by him who introduced the Reform 13111 to the House of Commons, who carried the Municipal and Corporation Act through Parliament, and who, forgetful of political rivalship, gave his cordial co operation to Sir ROBERT PEEL, in abolishing the , laws which restricted our national commerce and stunted our national enterprise. It is fit that Eng land should afford this noble incitement to the people of Italy, and to their Liberator, Pius. It is not often that we find any class or body of men coming forward and deliberately urging the adoption of a course the immediate and necessary consequence of which must be a diminution of their own resources, a reduction of the humble comforts which they are enabled to afford to their families, and the present realisation of difficulties and sufferings which they are too well aware cannot possibly be altogether averted, and the period of which they are willing to anticipate, in order that the crisis may tike place at a season when these sufferings may be miti gated, as far as practicable, by the cheapness of pro visions, and the employment which the operatives may be enabled to procure from other sources. The re solutions passed at the recent special delegate meeting of the operative cotton-spinners of Lancashire and the neighbouring counties, evince a wonderful fore sight and providence on the part of those who so readily agreed to propositions which, if assented to by the manufacturers,, would occasion the stoppage of all the mills throughout the country, and a ge neral cessation of labour, not only to the spinners themselves, but to the members of the different trades which are so intimately connected with the working of the factories, and the progress and prosperity of the manufactures. No stronger testimony could be afforded of the existence of that stern necessity, now so universally recognised. The operatives know that there is not a sufficiency of the raw material for the wants of the country. There is a deficient supply of cotton, and consequently the prices thereof have been enhanced to such a degree, that it is im possible for the millowners to continue their opera tions without great and ruinous sacrifices. The ex traordinary extent of speculation that took place in cotton some time since, the attempts that were made to purchase up the entire crop, and thus to obtain the command of the market and to enforce exorbitant prices, materially increased the difficulty, and the forestallers were the better enabled to carry on their schemes, inasmuch as we were wholly dependent on the United States for the means of keeping our mills at work, and giving employment to the factory operative. The manifest and only remedy for this fearful evil is to increase the sources of supply, to introduce, as far as practicable, the cultivation of cotton into new districts, where hitherto it has been unknown, and more especially to revive its culture in those localities where it formerly flourished, but where, owing to various causes, it has been suffered to languish and decline, until it has become compara tively neglected. A return ordered by the House of Commons, on the motion of the Hon. Member for Montrose, shortly before the dissolution of Parliament, has just been published, which is peculiarly important at the pre sent time. It contains a copy of a report, dated the 23d of March, 1847, of the Committee appointed by the Government of Bombay, to inquire into and re port upon the extent as well as the causes of the de cline into which the cotton trade was alleged to have fallen, and to suggest remedial measures; and also copies of • the dispatches and correspondence of the Bombay Government arising out of the above report. The report in question is a very able document, and the appendix contains smne voluminous statis!ical details, for a period of 13 years from the Ist January, 1834, to the 31st December, 1846, from which the conclusions of the Committee are deduced. The Committee briefly recapitulate the result of their labours by saying— " First, that the export cotton trade had under gone a great decline, both in quantity and value, and was in a very depressed state when the Government was appealed to on the subject. " Secondly, that the cause of that decline has been the inability of the exporter from that country to compete with the cheaper produce of the United States in the markets of Europe, and the representa tives of that cheaper produce in the form of yarns and goods in the markets of China. " Thirdly, that the only means by which this su percession of the cotton of India in those markets can be obviated are by reducing its first cost." We have here, then, established on the clearest evidence the fact of the great de cline and the causes to which that decline is attributed. The Committee do not, however, in their suggestion of remedial measures, fancy that the trade can be resuscitated by a return to the old-fashioned doctrines of protection ; they take a more reasonable and practical view ; they know that they must themselves make the necessary reforms, and adopt measures adequate to the emergency, and by which the cottons of India will be enabled to compete in the home market with that of her great rival America. They find certain impediments existing and difficulties interposed in the way of the more extensive culture of the crop, which can be removed by the Indian Government, and they therefore state that the desired end is to be attained— " Ist. By the entire abolition of the onerous Custom duties levied on the exportation of manufactured cotton. " 2d. By a revision of the land assessment in the collectorates of Surat, Broach, and Candeish. " 3d. By permanently improving the communica tions between the Southern Mahratta country and the posts on the sea coast. _ "4th. By the introduction of a system of railway communication between Bombay and the interior, as proposed by the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company, and thus opening up the fertile districts of Berar and the Deccan to the sea." All these suggestion are of a reasonable and prac- tical nature, and such as might easily be carried into execution. In the result our national prosperity and the welfare of the British people are deeply inte rested. We are mainly dependent on our trade and commerce, and nothing can be more im portant than to render our home markets independent of supplies from other parts of the world of that which can be obtained from our own colonies and de pendencies. As free-traders, we desire that no re strictions should be placed on the produce of other countries, but we wish to see the productions of our own dominions enabled to compete with them on fair terms, by being as cheap and good, and in every respect as valuable to the consumers. This is the only protection we should desire for native in dustry, and we are convinced that under such a system it would flourish and prosper more effectually than if unduly stimulated by protective imposts, and the creation of a monopoly for those engaged in its culture. that it has almcst doubled. Certainly that is not a falling off." T:le other journals all comalt:TA on the ultra-Legiti matist article or. the affairs of Italy which appeared in the Journal des Daats of the preceding day, and to which we alluded in The Sun of yesterday. The National banters the heavy Ministerial journal in the following admirable manner : "The events which are passing in Italy cause much pain to our system, as appears from the articles published daily in the .Journal des bebats. e remarked that that paper, which enjoyed the re putation of being lucid and fluent, is becomitag visibly unintelligible. Even its literatur,:. is inferior to what it was. The Debats published yesterday a long and heavy historical essay, in which fallacy, which generally assumes a flippant air in that journal, abounded in heavy phrases, studded with the particie que, affording an alarming similarity to the harangue of a personage inviolable by law. If it be intended as flattery, it appears to us to be in bad taste. When it is wished to disfigure history, to misstate facts, and to give a false interpretation to passing events, it would not be inexpedient to employ an expert pen and one somewhat acquainted with the French lan guage. But to recount such strange absurdities, and to write as M. Muret de Bord speaks, is, we take the liberty of telling the Journal des Debats, too great an abuse. Ever since they have become so completely inspired by the ter rors of the Court, the literary elegance of the writers in the Debats has vanished. Yesterday it was the history of modem times written at the foot of the system' s block. To-day recent events are re counted with most affecting pain. Why this tone of alarm ? Why those sighs drawn from the bottom of the heart ? We grieve for the Debats, and we do not wish to reproach the writer, who was evidently suf fering under spasms of apprehension and fear. We must rather endeavour to tranquillize him. Let us, therefore, reason quietly with the invalid. Let us see what it is in the accounts from Italy which affects his nerves. The inhabitants of Leghorn having seen that their neighbours, the people of Lucca, were be coming excited, considered that the best guarantee for public order was the organization of a national guard. We are aware that Austria is opposed to such a measure, but this reason, so powerful with M. Guizot, was far from receiving the assent of the Italians. What resolution did the inhabitants of Leghorn adopt? They prayed the Municipal Council to wait on the Grand Duke of Tuscany, to present him a petition, and to explain to him the expediency and the utility of establishing a national guard. Let it be remarked that the Grand Duke had pro mised to estabE3h a civic guard. He considered the demand of the civic councillors as both opportune and rational, and he published a decree which satisfied the population, and the grateful people salutes with j o y this act f their chief governor. The theatre was crowded, and the audience exclaimed energetically, The civic guard for ever !" Long live the Grand Duke.' You yourselves give us these details, and they cause you a shudder ! You are not, it is true, accustomed to these demonstrations of popularity. A political act hailed by the blessings of the governed appears to you to be a fearful phantom. But be re a'sured. This accord between the conduct of the Government and the wishes of the population cannot be contagious with regard to yon. The Duke of Tuscany may enjoy a popularity equal to that of which the Pope is so proud without exciting pity. You consider such popularity monstrous, but it is far distant from you. The Appennines and the Alps separate you from it, and you may remain tranquil. If you have trias to undergo, it is not by popularity that you will perish. Thus, then, your terror with respect to Leghorn is dispelled. "Let us nu 0/ speak of Lucca, a small corner of land governed by a Bourbon. We consider that we are more free to appreciate the Bourbon family, since the birth of the Duke de Guise reminds us of that superb placard, posted on the walls of Paris on the 2 , 1 of August, l 830- 4 The Duke of Orleans is not a Bourbon, but a Valois.' Let us dispense, however, with all generalities. The liberty we enjoy, having M. Hebert as a companion, it would not be prudent to trust him. Let us confine ourselves to the Bour bon of Lucca. He belongs to us, and he is a medal of nther a fine character. This Bourbon of Lucca has played a part in his petty state worthy of a larger theatre. He commenced by arresting in an arbitrary manner some men highly considered for their opi nions. The population deemed that proceeding brutal, and they assembled in the public square de manding that the prisoners be released. The Bourbon resisted at first, but his resistance excited the fury of the people. The Bourbon became alarmed and fled. But he met the populace on his road, and the windows of his carriage were broken with stones. The paving stone becomes a most interesting element in the his tory of the Bourbons. It was on the Ist of Septem ber that the Lucca paving-stone interfered in politics; end the seine clay the Bourbon of Lucca published a proclamation, stating that he wished to reign by love, and not by force and he promised a nati o n a l guard, and all that his subjects wished. But he promised too much, and as soon as he found him self on the territory of Modena (another sprig of the house of Austria) he recalled his promise. The in habitants of Lucca immediately assembled. A civic guard was formed, and the people discovered how easy it is tc live without a Bourbon. A party, how ever, proceded, as a deputation, to the refugee, who replied to tiem by appointing a regency. The people next declared that the palace of the absent Duke should be sequestrated. This was his sensitive side, and they had no sooner touched it than the Bourbon returned in the midst of the national guard, which gave him toe best of receptions. He quitted Lucca on the Ist, and returned in the 3d of September, and thus concluded the three days of Lucca. " We have now given a summary of the facts stated by the Journal des Debuts, and we are at a loss to explain wEy that journal is so much affected by what has taken place. Its lamentations have the double error of being ridiculous and ill-timed. What I a pa p er s o well bred, having the air of taking under its protection a Prince who shows himself cowardly, crafty, violent, and avaricious, and who crowns his bad faith by meanness ! In its place we should have been more severe, on account of the Prince being a Bourbon, and even an Infante of Spain. We know the respectful tenderness which the Debuts entertains for the blood of Philip V. ; but after all, the whole of the saints of a parish need not be included in the same worship; and if the action of time and the ill treatment of fortune have caused a noble race to de generate, it is prudent not to prostitute one's incense arid homage, but to cut off from the flourishing tree whatever dead branch may be found." . and in consequence arms were immediately distri buted. ' The 6p, vier Guyette 1,4.2 Ausinan rein forcements which had arrived at Treviso have received orders to advance further into the Pontifical States. General Count DE FIQUELMONT, of the cavalry, has been attached to Field-Marshal Count RADETSKI. From Venice, where he went to pay his respects to the Vice-Rol, he has taken his departure for Milan." The same journal states that the Duke of MODENA had officially announced to his subjects that the entry of the Austrian troops into the Duch - 2 7‘ might be ex. pected from one moment to another. A letter from Leghorn of the sth says— "We have just received intelligence here from Ferrara. Affairs remain there in the same state. However, the Tyrolean Chasseurs, who have been said to have passed the Po, have either retired or gone into cantonments on the left bank of the river. It had been rumoured at Ferrara that Cardinal Ciaccbi was, on account of his health, about to re linquish the government of the legation ; but on the 24th ult. it was ascertained that he would remain at his post. On the following day a numerous deputa tion of the citizens went to his Eminence with an address, expressing the general satisfaction at his remaining. The magistrates of the municipality also waited on him with thanks for his resolution. In the evening the city was illuminated; the town band played under the windows of the Legate, while crowds filled the streets near the palace, exclaiming, ' Long live Pius Long live Ciacchi!' The Austrians remained perfectly passive during these manifestations." Another letter of the same date says— "A grand solemnity yesterday caused great emo tion among all our people ; enthusiasm was at its height; hope and happiness were expressed by every face. The town of Leghorn feted the authorisation to form a Tuscan National Guard, which has just been accorded by our Sovereign. More thon ten thousand men were assembled under the national flag, sur rounding busts of Pius IX., and of Leopold 11. Bands of music, escorted by torches, traversed the town at an advanced hour of the night. It is impos sible to give you an idea of the cries of joy which arose from all parts among the crowds which circulated along the streets, or of the manifestations of all kinds of which this popular fête was the subject. All the windows were illuminated and decked out. This po litical revolution is, without contradiction, one of the most extraordinary pages of our history, as it has not been stained by a drop of blood. On the Bth of this month there! is to be a general renewal of the popular fête, in which all the ladies, dressed in white and wear ing the national colours, are to take part." On the same day a grand demonstration was made at Florence to celebrate the formation of the National Guard. The people assembled before the windows of the Grand Duke to thank him for the grant, and bands of musicians traversed the city, which was illuminated at night. The enthusiasm waa general. A letter from Rome of the 6th inst. says— " The first part of the investigation into the great conspiracy is terminated. There result from it proofs of enrolments in the interest of the retrograde party. The Pontifical Government has addressed a note signed by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Ferretti, not only to the great Powers, but to all the Courts of Europe, to demand in some sort their interference as arbitrators in the difference which has arisen between the Sovereign Pontiff and Austria with re spect to Ferrara. The Holy Father is to hold a secret consistory about the middle of September, in which several prelates will be elevated to the dignity of Cardinal. Among others, the Archbishop of Milan, Monsignor B. Romelli, is named. The two new French Cardinals, Monsignor Giraud and Du pont, Archbishops of Cambray and Bourges, arrived here to•day." Cardinal FERRETI has established a corps of police. men in uniform, a measure which has much pleased the populace, as it deprives the local police of its secret and inquisitorial character. Another letter from Rome announces the arrival in that city of an Envoy from the United States of America, to negotiate a treaty of amity and commerce between the two countries. This treaty will lay the foundation for the establishment of diplomatic re lations between the two Governments, and, it is said, a Nuncio will shortly be sent from the POPE to Washington. The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 4th, says— " Count Lutzon has presented a note to the Pope, in which the right of occupation is maintained, but a desire for negotiation is at the same time expressed. The Pope answered, that Ferrara must be evacuated and that then discussions might be entered on, not on the right of occupation, but on the meaning of the word place; that if the evacuation was refused, he would use all the means in his power to produce it. Cardinal Ferretti is said to have declared that the Pope would send a protest, would recal the Nuncio from Vienna; would give to the Ambassador his passports ; would publish a bull of excommunication (which he said was ready written) ; and, lastly, would make an appeal to all Italy." Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived. At a Cabinet Council which was held on the 6th it was, it is said, decided to present a Bill to the Cortes, immediately on their assembling, for the dis solution of the- QuEEN's marriage, and also a Bill re storing the Salic law for regulating the succession after the demise of her present MAJESTY. As soon as the Council broke up General LINAGES was dis patched to London to urge the immediate return of ESPARTERO, as it was agreed by all the Ministers that without his aid it would be impossible to carry into effect the QUEEN'S wishes. The Gaceta publishes a royal decree, appointing General MIGUEL DOMINGUES, uncle of General SER RANO, second Commander of the Halberdiers, a post previously occupied by General Ros DE OLANO, the new Minister of Public Instruction. Another royal degree superseded General ESPINOSA in the govern ment of Grenada by General MANS°, the present Captain-General of Valencia, who was to be succeeded by General CAMPUZANO, Military Governor of Cadiz. General BELESTA replaced the latter in the command of that city. The QUEEN is, it is said, about to confer the Grand Cordon of CHARLES 111. on Senor SALAMANCA, and the Grand Cross of ISABELLA the Catholic on Generals BLASER and FRANCISCO LAVALET. The Duke DE GLUCKSEURGII was to give on the evening of the Bth a grand diplomatic dinner, to which all the new Ministers and various other per sons of distinction were invited. The immediate object of the dinner was said to be a desire to prove to the world that the report of the Duke's having protested in word, though not in writing, against the late amnesty, was quite unfounded. If the Minis ters were seen seated at the French Ambassador's table, the inference to be drawn, it was hoped, would be that no misunderstanding existed between them. NAEVAEZ has gone to Burgos, where, it is said, he intends to remain for some time. tieneral &RC° DEL VALLE, who came to Madrid with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER at the time of the marriage, has left Spain, and is now at Bayonne. An official bulletin of the Captain-General of Galicia, dated Corunna, September 4, announces that the Carlist chief, FERNANDO GOMEZ, better known as El Ebanista," had been killed in an encounter with the QUEEN'S troops at Pacios, near Lugo, and that his band had been in consequence dispersed. The Bourse was closed in honour of the festival of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the recently-published returns showing the commercial movement of France during the year 1846, a re sume of which appeared in The Sun a few days since. After entering at some length into an examination of the returns, the Debats concludes thus : " If we examine the results of the navigation, we find a somewhat important increase for 1846. The general movement consisted of 33,515 vessels and 3,925,000 tons, that is to say, 353,000 tons more than in 1845. The foreign flag, it is true, has ob tained a good share in this increase; but it will be observed in the interim that in the seas of Europe Our flag has gained 28,000 tons, whilst that of the foreign countries has lost 10,000 tons. Lastly, what all the lamentations affected to be raised with respect to our navy will not prevent being seen, is, that the movement under the French flag is increasing, slowly, it is true, but continuously. Not more than ten years ago it only effected from 38 to 39 per cent. of the transports ; but in 1846 its proportion rose to 42.4. It is certainly greatly to be regretted that it was not larger ; but we must not lose sight of the fact, that of all countries ours is without contradic tion that whose exportation has the least of heavy and cumbersome articles, which are the aliment of great navigation ; and in spite of this disadvantage, against which wars of tariffs could do nothing, or rather which they would infallibly aggravate, it is ton nage of faeto o r u y r to m b a e ri a t b ine l i eto co s m ta m te er t c h e has atthe passedgeneraln ten years from 2,200,000 tons to 3,925,000, that is to say,' NEMOURS has been extracted by Dr. PASQUIER, and his Royal Highness feels not the smallest inconve nience from the operation. LEVASEUR, the French Consul-(general at Hayti, had the honour of being received by the KING, at St. Cloud. DI. LEVAASEUR returned to France with the Convention, which, as his MA&ESTY'S Plenipotentiary, he concluded on May 15, with the Republic of Hayti, insuring the execution of the financial treaty of 1838. General LAW)RICIERE passed through Angers on Saturday on his way to Aigiers. The illondeur contains the following :—" The National announced yesterday that administrative irregularities have just been discovered in one of our ports, and added that powerful influence was being used to stop all proceedings in the case. This latter assertion is altogether incorrect. For some time past, and from the very moment when suspicions were rai3ed, the Government adopted every necessary measure to investigate each affair, and to institute judicial proceedings if such should be found neces sary." The impression on the Paris Bourse on Monday was of a most unfavourable character. Stock and shares fell, the former considerably.

Fairholt. Particulars of Shakspere's House, for Sale by Auction, by 111 r. Robins: lAmong several apposite publications which have appeared since the first announcement of the intended sale of the birthplace of our glorious Shakspere, these two especially demand attention. We cannot direct the observation of our readers to them on any even ing more appropriate than one that is literally the eve of that interesting sale. Mr.Fairholt's volume has some pretensions superior to those of an ephemeral book of sea sonable gossip—it has pretensions indeed to be squeezed into a corner even of the most ostentatious library— upon a bookshelf so conveniently situated that the volume can be picked out and referred to whenever the thoughts revert with a loving curiosity to the actual existence of the great poet. In reading Walter Savage Landor's inimitable conversation, or rather trial, of William Shakspere for deer-stealing, we should have this little book of " The Home of Shaks pere" at our elbow. It is illustrated with thirty three clever little engravings—though the profile of the dramatist upon the title-page is so marvel lously unlike all other representations of Shakspere, that if the beard and moustache were only removed it might pass for a very fair likeness of the poet Beranger. How melancholy, but true, is the ope n i n g sentence of Mr. Fairholt !—" All that is known with any degree of certainty concerning Shakspere is, that he was born at Stratford-upon-Avon ; married, and had children there ; went to London, where he commenced actor, and wrote poems and plays ; re turned to Stratford ; made his will, died, and was buried." 0 that some Elizabethian Boswell had dogged the heels of Mater Shakspere in clocled ; stockings, and slashed doublet, and trunk hose B..trren, however, as are the written facts about the domestic habitudes of the dramatist, there is a good old tradition that saith Shakspere was born in Hen ley-street, Stratford—which not only indicates the street, but particularizes the house—which not only particularizes the house, but points out the very room. We bow down with implicit faith before that tradition, and to whomsoever might have the hardi hood to be sceptical of its accuracy we should be almost tempted to emulate the anathemas of Uncle Toby, or the pathos of Corporal Trim. The second publication mentioned above is the circular—a characteristic one, as may be imagined—of the auc tioneer. Besides the prospectus of the sale, there are quotations from Dr. Nathan Drake from Charles Knight, and from Washington Irving. The title-page alone would be most interecc;.,g—contain ing vignettes of the house in _ ley-street, the Globe Theatre, Stratford Church, and Anne Hathaway's cottage, besides medallion likenesses of Shakspere, Queen Elizabeth, Ben Jonson, and Lord South ampton. While writing upon this subject, we would make one observation about the bust of our immortal countryman over his tomb in the church at Stratford. Every one knows that that bust was originally coloured to the life, and that it was painted white through the impudent, and we might almost say sacrilegious, intervention of Malone. Since Malone committed this impertinence people have contented themselves with execrating the Vandal and bemoaning the act. It seems never to have occurred to any one that the error could be repaired ! It is well known that the doublet was painted crimson, slashed; that the face and hands were flesh colour; the hair, beard, and moustache, auburn ; the eyes light hazle; the lower part of the cushion, on which he is writing, green ' • the tassels, gilt, &c. &c. &c. Why, we ask, should not some artist not some mere dauber and sign-painter—but a competent and even inimit able artist be employed to restore the monument to its original appearance? This, however, must be thought of after the house itself is secured to the coun try and guarded by the Government ; and to morrow at twelve o'clock, men of England I the birthplace of the greatest mortal that ever breathed in Britain will be lost or gained by the nation. The Presse has the following on the subject of the new loan:-- " A new mode for contracting the loan of 350,000,000 f. was talked of yesTerday among the speculators at the Passage de l'Opera. It is said that it was to be at 4} per cent., for 97f. or 98f., to be paid up by monthly instalments. It was to be repaid two years after the last instalment, by yearly pay ments at par. As the Minister of Finance has gone for several days to Agen, nothing can be decided on until he returns. It is said that before his departure he signed an ordonnance authorising the issue of Treasury bonds to the amount of 25,000,000 f." In the same paper we find it stated that Admiral TREHOUART, commanding the French fleet at Naples, has received orders to complete his stores for a cruise of three months, which proves that the fleet is not about to return to Toulon, as was reported. It was rumoured in Paris on Monday that a very formidable insurrectionary movement had broken out in Sicily, and that the services of the French fleet were to be put in requisition against the Sicilian patriots. It is in consequence of the employment of the fleet on this unpopular service that the command of it has been transferred from the Prince DE JOIN VILLE to Admiral TREHOUART. The Union Monarchique, in commenting on Spanish affairs, says that the French Ambassador, the Duke of GLUCKSBURG 11, has contrived to render himself as disagreeable as possible to the young QUEEN. In the beginning ISABELLA was much amused with the stiff air and perfect nullity of the Charge d'Affaires of France, and particularly with the doctoral tone with which he upbraided her. The Duke, a youth of twenty-six, had assumed the part of a mentor, and was the mouthpiece of the severe maxims of her mother, the ex-Regent. ISABELLA said to him one day, " Was it your father, Sir, who taught you such fine things ?" The diplomatist made no reply. Of late he had become quite insupportable, and could not obtain an audience. " Thank GoD," exclaimed the QUEEN, " he is neither my chaplain nor my confessor. I am determined not to receive him any more, he is too tiresome." Weary of his position, which was both painful and ridiculous, the Duke DE GLucKs • BURGH communicated his tribulations to M. GUIZOT, and to the mother and uncle of ISABELLA, and it was agreed to relieve him from the unpleasant situation in which he is placed. General LINAGIEs passed through Paris on Sunday, en route for London from Madrid. He was said to be the bearer of a pressing invitation from Queen ISABELLA to General ESPARTERO to return to Ma drid without delay. A grand Reform banquet, at which 500 citizens assembled, was held last • week at Bar le Due. The Mayor of the town presidPd, and M. ETIENNE, the Deputy for the Meuse, proposed as a toast, "To the Morality of the Political Powers," which was drunk with enthusiasm. The shot which entered the cheek of the Dilke DE THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL ( NEWS. L.77Y, QUARTIER TO it r!EE.. Cotto , ) het, at Liverp, of ycste:day v, as flat Sales about 1,500 bales. Shares improved, and with more disposition to buy. Midland and North-Western etock was in demand. The whole talk.of people in the City is of failures and anticipated further disasters. The serious stoppage yesterday of the extensive discount house of Sanderson and Co. has excited uneasiness, because it arises, perhaps, from a more direct indication of wart of confidence on the pact of too public, than can be traced as the cause of I..ny previous sus pension. Parties having surplus moneys, whether as private capitalists or country bankers, are in the habit of placing money at the disposal of houses, such as that of Sanderson and Co., of which there are but two or three others in the City, with the view of its being invested in the discount of bills, and either being pinched for cash, or mistrusting Messrs. Sanderson on account of their known heavy losses by the recent failures, they have come suddenly upon the firm to return their deposits or provide fresh bills. The property of the firm is believed to be large, but whether immediately available remains to be seen. There has been a report that a deputation is about to wait upon Government to beg the interference of Lord John Russell, in modifying the Peel Currency Bill, and it is hoped that the Liverpool movement in favour of a retardation of railway calls will also gain ground. Much uncertainty prevails as to the extent of the mischief that may be occasioned in America by the failures here. One party writes from New York : " It is impossible to tell, at present, where the bulk of the loss will fall, but we have great fears that it will fall heavily upon parties in this country. It by no means follows that because bankruptcies to a certain extent are reported the losses will be anywhere in the neighbour hood of that amount. The assets of insolvent houses generally amount to a fair per centage on their liabili ties; and it is fair to suppose that the resources of houses engaged in the corn trade bear as good a pro portion to their liabilities as those of any other class of business. For more than twelve months past prices of breadstuffs have been steadily advancing, and handsome profit's have been realised. It, therefore, appears more extraordinary that the first reverse should have carried down so many houses, and produced so much bank ruptcy. " The announcement of failures to the amount of six million dollars is well calculated to create considerable fears of a panic on this side of the Atlantic ; but when the thing comes to be analysed, we think there will be very little cause for apprehension. That serious losses will be the result of the recent heavy fall in breadstuffs, no one can for a moment doubt ; but that the effect will be as alarming as may be at first anticipated, we do not believe." Even a crumb of comfort is acceptable in these times. As may be supposed, there is a very gloomy feeling in the Stock Exchange this morning, and prices are lower. Consols have realised 86 to 86} for present transfer, and 86/ to i for account. Exchequer-bills are Is. to 4s. premium.

A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 2d says— ------ " The Emperor has just issued which forbids the insurance in foreign c ountries of real property situated in Russia, under pain of a fine of 3 a ukase, uhke proceeds per cent. on the sum insured. The same as a tax of / per cent. on the amount of every policy of places insurance against fire made in Russia.

The Minister o f W ors hi p an d o f P u bli c Instruction has enjoined the Protestant consistories of the pro vinces situated on the Baltic not to employ for the future in their official documents any other language than the Russian. To effect this, a translator will be attached to every consistory, at the expense of the Government, with a salary of 300 roubles (1,200 francs) per annum. The Government has proposed prizes for the best statistical description of each province, and even of each considerable district of the empire. These prizes will consist of gold medals, of the value of 300 and 150 roubles. The successful works will be published by the Government, and 300 copies will be given gratis to the author, with the right reserved to him of publishing himself all sub sequent editions of his work." The Popolo of Siena, of the sth inst., contains an account of some disturbances that took place on the 4th, owing to the prices of corn. The shop of a baker, notorious for his speculations, was demolished, and his own life endangered. The principal inhabit ants, and at last Governor EAGNONI in person, hastened there to appease the people. In consequence of the unanimous desire of the citizens, the Governor granted the provisional organization of a civic guard, ASTLE Y'S AMPHITHEATRE. Last evening, it having been understood that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent would honour the performances with her presence, the royal box was prepared for her reception. The stairs and box lobby were covered with crimson cloth and the officers of the theatre were in waiting in full costume. An unexpected circumstance, however, prevented her Royal Highness from attending the theatre. His Serene Highness the Prince of Leinengen, attended by an equerry, occupied the royal box, and seemed highly delighted with the performance. At a late hour yesterday afternoon, we regret to learn, that the large discount house of Sanderson and Co. suspended payment. Mr. Morris, one of the partners, died last Friday. N. F. Davey, Esq., on his resignation of the office of surgeon to the Millbank Prison, to commence prac tice at norutord, Essex, was yesterday presented with a handsome silver inkstand by the subordinate officers of tl at establishment, as an acknowledgment of their gratitude towards him, and of the uniform kindness and attention experienced by those who were patients under his cam FIRE IN BERNIONTISEY - STREET.—Last night, about eleven o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises belong ing to Mr. Hodgkins, rope and rag•merchant, Great Bermondsey-street. The firemen, by dint of great per severance, succeeded, by twelve o'clock, in getting the complete mastery over the conflagration, but not until the entire range of premises in which it commenced, to gether with their contents, were reduced to ashes. How the fire originated, or whether or not Mr. Hodgkins was insured, could not be learned during the excitement which prevailed. Fortunately no human life was lost, but it is reported that a valuable horse was burnt to death in its stable. NAPLES, AUG. 28. —There has been unusual gaiety here during the dog• days, owing to the presence or the Prince de Joinville and his fleet. The young officers are very fond of dancing. and there has been a reunion some where every evening. M. and Madame de Luttroth lighted up their villa, at Capodinionte, and it was quite a fairy scene, but the Prince de Joinville's illuminating his fleet was quite unique. Vesuvius makes a beautiful display, and it burst forth, too, the night the French fleet cast anchor in the bay. On the side towards Pompeii, scarcely more than the reflection is seen, so the crowd of fashionables at Castellamare came to Naples to see this belle horreur ! It flames immensely at the top, and atones are seen thrown up to a great height. Another crater has opened half-way between the her mitage and the old crater, from which run two large streams of lava. IMPORTATIONS PROM FRANCE.--There have been several importations of grain from France during the past few days. The Siren, of Jersey, from Marseilles, brought 700 quarters of wheat; the Italia, of Trieste, from Marseilles, 1,200 quarters of wheat; the Anna Maria, from Nantes, 500 quarters of wheat; and the Adele, from Nantes, 450 quarters of wheat. It will be seen that of the arrivals above enumerated two were in foreign vessels, and imported under the privilege of the suspended navigation-laws with respect to the importa tion of grain, and the remainder in vessels belonging to France. SHOOTING A LEGISLATOR.—On Saturday, 21st instant, Elisha Worthington, of Arkansas, made a des perate attempt to murder Warner Crow, Esq., i❑ the streets of Owensboro. Mr. Crow was a representative from I)avie's county in the last legislature of Kentucky, and voted in favour of the granting of a petition for di vorce„ presented by Worthington's wife. It was for this vote that Worthington sought his life. Meeting Mr. Crow in the street, he addressed him with the in quiry if his name was Crow? On receiving an answer in the affirmative, he exclaimed, " You are an old scoun drel," and forthwith drew an old revolver and fired at Mr. Crow, the ball taking cif , ct in the neck. Before he could shoot a sec3nd nine Crow closed in on him, and wresting the weapon from him, was proceeding to repay the assault with compound interest, when the parties were separated. The wound of Crow is not con sidero4 dangerous.
