The time of preparation has departed—the time of action has arrived. Electioneering addresses from the different candidates have been already transmitted to the principal constituencies. It, therefore, devolves upon the possessors of the franchise to discriminate between the qualifications of those candidates, and to proclaim their choice at the hustings and the polling booths with independence, with promptitude, and with It has seldom fallen to our lot to notice a more un• unanimity. Within this present week several of the justifiable, and in every respect injudicious docutnent, most important borough elections will be decided, than that which has emanated from the grand jury of Consequently it behoves every one individually to the county of Clare, under the date of the 16th of continue on the alert—to allow no advantage to es- J u l y i nstant.

In 1841 it lived co urse now about to be pursued, which makes the only in a delusion and a misapprehension.

When towards the close of the last session of Parliament the existence of the mysterious disease, the sad calamity which involved Ireland in such misery and wretchedness, became known, although its full extent could not then be even guessed at, the Ministry, with the most praiseworthy promptitude and decision, brought forward and ob tained the legislative sanction to a measure by which the Lord-Lieutenant was authorised to appoint special sessions to be held in any district where distress existed. These sessions were enabled to approve of, and to pass presentments for such public works, as might appear to be of local or national utility, and the money required to carry the same into execution was to be provided by the national exchequer ; but the whole of these advances were to be charged upon the several districts, and to be repaid by instalments, spread over a period of ten years. Fortunately it was provided that the works so presented for should receive the sanction of the Board of Works before they should be commenced. It was distinctly and clearly expressed, that every shilling of the expenditure should he provided for, and ultimately defrayed by the property in the districts, and stringent provisions were inserted for the sum mary sale of the property of defaulters. Not the slightest hope or expectation was held out that any portion thereof would be remitted or borne by the State. It is almost unnecessary to say, in how different a spirit that statute (the Labour-rate Act) was acted on from that contemplated by the Legislature. It was immediately regarded as the sole means by which the able-bodied labourers of the country were to be supported. Private individuals suspended the undertakings they had previously been carrying on. Labourers were discharged who had usually received permanent employment; that which was intended as, and would have proved a most valuable auxiliary was, in a great degree, de prived of its efficiency and value by being made the only means. A general congratulation ran through the country because no limitation was placed on the amount to be provided. Every proposition was hailed with boisterous acclamation, and carried without a semblance of opposition, the slightest vestige of which was at once over whelmed by clamour, violence, and every species of intimidation. A day of reckoning was wholly for gotten in the joy and exultation of getting English money into the country. In some districts present ments were passed to the extent of five or six times the annual value of the property out of which the advances therefor were to be repaid. The Board of Works happily pared down and reduced this wanton extravagance to the utmost limits ; but still, when 760,000 able-bodied labourers were driven to road making, as the only way of obtaining a means of live lihood in the absence of their usual mode of employ ment, a large expenditure was unavoidable. After a time the landlords began to find out that it would be much pleasanter for themselves if that labour was employed on their lands—if they were to be drained, cultivated, and cropped by the nation, while they stood by with folded arms and reaped all the benefit. This was, of course, too absurd ; but the late estimable Lord-Lieutenant, anxious to take away the slightest ground of complaint, on his respon sibility and trusting to a Parliamentary indemnity, enabled presentments to be made for the improvement of private property, whereon the owner undertook to repay the entire amount of these presentments. This, however, did not suit the gentlemen complaining, who wished to get everything without any return. It is well known how few availed themselves of the privilege thus accorded, or made application for presentments. On the meeting of Parliament, when detailing the un fortunate manner in which the labour-rate had been carried into execution, and the enormous expenditure in consequence, the Secretary for Ireland stated that to a certain extent the Irish famine should be regarded as a national calamity, and that the Ali nistry had therefore decided on recommending the Legislature to remit one-half the amount, and only to charge the remaining moiety on the several dis tricts ; and this is the declaration that is now at tempted to be tortured into a totally* different meaning by the veracious grand jury of the county of Clare. We regret to find that any Irish gentleman can be found to act in such a manner as to justify an unwil lingness in this country again to interfere in their behalf, or to make advances which the recipients of their bounty are so unwilling to repay. The debate on the Sonderbund, or Catholic League, was resumed at Berne on the 20th, at nine in the morning, and lasted with great animation till six in the evening. The Liberal party obtained the ma jority. It was resolved by 42 states and two half states—first, to declare the Sonderbund dissolved— and secondly, that this decision shall be obligatory on the Cantons of the League. The Cantons which voted in favour of these resolutions were Zurich Soleure, Schaffhousen, A rgau , T ess i no, Geneva,, Vaud, Thurgau, Grisons, Appenzell-Interior, Bale- Country, Glaris, and Berne. St. Gall and the Crri suns, which had reserved their decisions, also gave their assent. Lucerne, the Valais, and Zug inserted a protest on the minutes. We learn from Rome that Cardinal FERETTI, the POPE'S new Secretary of 'State, arrived there on the 14th. Mgr. RUSCONI is nominated Under-Secretary of State in the room of M. CORBOLI BUSSI. Prince RosriGuosi is made Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard of Rome. Prince Oastrii is con firmed as senator. On the 11th there was another marked demonstration of the popular feeling, on the occasion of transporting the statue of Pius IX. to ti,e Piazza del Polopo, where it is to be erected. The enthusiasm was ev. , n greater than on the anni versary of the accession. A letter from Rome, dated the 18th, says—" There is a most extraordinary report current at Rome which has excited great agitation. It states nothing less than the discovery of a conspiracy, at the head of hich was a Cardinal held in great suspicion by the people. I dare not mention the projects attributed to the conspirators until they are in some degree officially made public. It is affirmed that at this Moment several great personages are being arrested, and that they will be sent in the course of the day to the Castle of St. Angelo." Intelligence from Lisbon to the 19th, and from Oporto to the 21st, has been received by the Penin sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Iberia, which arrived this morning at Southampton. The Algarve Battalion of Queen's troops have been behaving in such an outrageous manner to the officers of Des ANTAS, who were released from Fort St. Julian on the 10th, that the British Minister has called upon the QUEEN to have the Algarve Battalion instantly removed from the capital. A part of SALDANHA'S army have returned to Lisbon. They were met on the way by King FER DINAND, who placed a wreath of laurel in the colours of the regiment. A more appropriate mode of re warding the valour of those who did not take Oporto could scarcely be imagined. King FERDINAND is the worthy who at St. Übes (like the King of FRANCE at the head of 20,000 men), " rode up a hill and then rode down again," the said riding down again taking Place before the troops of SA DA BANDEIRA had ad vanced within " long shot" distance. General CONCHA and his staff arrived in Lisbon on the 14th, and after a stay of a few days returned to his army. The following proclamation has been issued by SALDANHA " Comrades! the authority of her Majesty is now re established throughout the entire kingdom. The faith ful troops ai:d loyal subjects of her Majesty, in cobjuuction with the powerful and efficacious co-opera tion of ber allies, have clearly demonstrated, even to the most incredulous, that her throne is Equally shielded from the assaults of republicans and the attacks of despotism. Tne pacification of the country is complete, and order is no longer likely to be disturbed, for a loyal army, constant in its devotedness to her Majesty the Queen, guarantees to the authorities a force necessary to maintain it. "Comrades ! my gratitude to you will be eternal! for the confidence, fur the willing spirit with which you have served with me. Betura weseparate, and with the enthusiasm which has ever an , inated us , let us once more nuke the welkin tin g with our hvr Ma'est • the Queen and the e°1"4114°3141 chairser. Vi' ag Yo: btr Blejt:(00y Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. The Gaceta states that the documents published by the Faro (the Afrancesado organ), purporting to be the correspondence between Senor PACHECO and Mr. BULWER, on the affairs of Portugal, are forgeries ; and that the real correspondence will be published officially in a few days. The Heraldo states that . General ALzAA, who was arrested at Bayonne, was the bearer of orders to General VILLAREAL, the Carlist Commander-in-Chief in Navarre, to take measures to strike an immediate blow. The Captain-General of Catalonia, General PAVIA, defeated a Carlist band at Torre del Espanol on the 11th, and took one of their commanders pri soner. In Burgos, Toledo, and Gerona the Qut-en's troops have likewise succeeded in dispersing various Carlist bands. The QUEEN has left Madrid for La Granja, and the KING has arrived in the capital. TheirMAJEsTIEs did not meet, and it is said that General CottuovA has waited on the KING from the Minister of War, with an order prohibiting his MAJESTY from taking up his resid nce in the Palace. Senor BRAVO MuaiLLo has been dispatched to Paris to consult M. GuizoT and General NARVAEZ. The Faro says it was reported that the Union Bank was desirous of backing out of its contract for taking the Treasury bills of 100,000,000 reals, and that many of the shareholders of the Bank had assem bled to protest against it. The shares of the Bank had declined in value. It is said that Don ENIBQUE, who is at Bagneres de Luehon, has offered himself to the Span;:4h Go vernment as a mediator between Queen ISABELLA and her consort, Don FRANCISCO DE Asses. He has at the same time written to his brother, urging him to reunite himself to the QUEEN. The Spanish Government has not yet returned any answer to the Prince. It is added that Don ENRIQUE has written also in energetic terms to his father Don FRANCISCO, protesting against the projected marriage between the Infanta JOSEPHA and General Porm.r.r.o. The Correo, notwithstanding the denial of the Duke of SOTOMAYOR and his colleagues, maintains that during the latter period of the Sotomayor Mi nistry, the KING usurped all authority in the palace to such an extent, that he would not allow any one to enter the QUEEN'S apartment, or have an interview with her MAJESTY, without his permission. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 19.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26t for cash; the Five per Cents. at 17k for paper; and the De bt without interest at si. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Mon;teur publishes a royal ordonnance, founded on the decision of the Chambers, proroguing till the 31st of January next the laws of the 28th Jan and 24th Feb. last, relative to the importation and transport of corn. It also contains an account of the destruction by explosion, on the - 21st inst., of the marine storehouses situated at the extremity of the arsenal of Rochefort, from which they were separated by a canal. Ac cording to the list given to the Prefect, there were 14 artillerymen and civilians in the stores at the time of the explosion. Two of the artillerymen and four civilians escaped without serious injury. Thir teen dead bodies were conveyed to the hospital, to gether with four wounded, one of whom died imme diately. The fire, which raged during three hours after the explosion, was finally extinguished. The most perfect order prevailed during the fire, and the operatives employed in the dockyard exerted them selves to the utmost to extinguish the fire. The cause of the calamity has not been ascertained. The trial of M. PELLAFRA took place before the Chamber of Peers on Friday. In reply to a question from the Chancellor, the accused gave the following account of the part which he had taken in the cor ruption of M. TESTS : " I was requested by M. Cubiii es to take some steps with M. Teste to entreat him to hasten tSe concession, Which had been applied tor the mines of Gouhenans. I saw M. Teste on the business without thinking that should have to occupy mv,eli with corruption, and I represented to him that the persons interested in the l e Hi e ßne p tur i te i ta ed kitt ' ehesbares affair were very anxious to obtain the largest concession pi .ssible, and, above all, to ohtein it before the vacations. M. T. ste replied that (-very affair could only come in its turn, and in the course . of the conversation he told me hi s word facilitated to me an overture, that he regarded the tunes of Uouhenans as an excel -I:llnitcalifflllll.r.Cubieres had made to me, that the parties pers ..n.

PL gave an account of the ultimate disposal of thEeDlOArOiFil,aoo a 01., the investment of which led to the dis covery of the means of convicting M. TESTE. TLe accused said— " When I and av e to M. Teqe the 100,000 fr g a a ncs , which he had been promised to h im, h e put the sum into his drawer. Some days afterwa rd s I saw him again, said—My dear Mend, as you are willing to be' my banker, employ this sum f o r the one which it in my drawer. I had purchased some time before bills in Paris for a sum not of 93,000 f., but 122,0001'. I showed them to M. Teste, saint, see' if "theft) is anything there that will suit you. Ile r. p ied, I want from 7,000 f. to B,ooot. for some urgent expenses. I will take for 93,000 f. Dis count them and purchase Treasury bills with the money. " The Chancelior--,What was the amount paid by you to, M. Teste? " at. Pellapra-100.000f. in bank notes. "The Chancellor—Of this sum M. Teste retained B,ooof. for urgent xpenses? " M. Pellapra-7-000 and some hundred francs. "Some more papers were here shown to M. Pellapra. " The Chancellor—The sum of 94,000 f. was employed by ycu in Treasury hills. Amongst those which have just been shown to you, there are some of two dates; the first are to your order, the second to the order of M. Chides Teste, son of the Minister. You had then en dorsed the first to his order? " M. Pellapra—Treasury bills are almost always ea - dorsed in blank, and circulate like commercial bills. "The Chancellor—You acknowledge your participa tion in these opt rations of placing the funds for the ac count of M. Teste?" The Court, on Saturday, pronounced a verdict of guilty, and sentenced M. PELLAPRA to civil degra dation, and a fine of ten thousand francs. The fine was paid and the accused discharged. The Presse takes the opportunity of the conviction of PELLAPRA to reiterate the charges brought by M. EMILE DE G IRARDIN against M. DUCHATEL, and to demand a j u di c i a l i nves tigation. The G azette d es T r ib unaus says—" We hear that the health of M. TLSTE is not recovering from the violent shuck which he experienced from the last dis cussions in the Court of Peers. Since his arrival at the Conciergerie he appears threatened with cerebral congestion. Applications of ice to the head have been employed, but without the success that was ex pected."

Among the Liberals of the Metropolitan constitu- , encies we are rejoiced to see an unmistakable sign of the revival of confidence and co-operation. So con spicuously is this manifested in the CITY or LONDON itself, that there is no very dim prospect of the re turn of the four popular candidates—Lord J. Rus- SELL, Sir G. LARPENT, Baron L. ROTHSCHILD, and Mr. J. PATTISON. With a continuance of the exer tions which have been already commenced there can be no reasonable doubt as to their triumphant return, when brought into comparison with such impracti cable politicians as Mr. MAsrERMAN, Alderman JOHNSON, Mr. BEVAN, and Mr. FRESHFIELD; As to the canvass adventured upon by Mr. W. PAYNE, the respected Coroner, we cannot but regard it as ill-advised, considering how the Liberal ground is occupied. With reference to FINSBURY, it is impossible to have the shadow of a hesitation, knowing that those champions of the people —THOMAS SLINGSBY DUNCOMBE and THOMAS WAKLEY—appeal as usual for the confidence of the electors. Their enthusiastic return is a sort of electioneering matter-,f-course. For the representa tion of LAMBETH both the recent Me.nbers—Mr. BENJAMIN HAWES and the Right Hon. C. T. D'Evri- COURT—have been found most serviceable in the promotion of the Liberal interests. The rejection, consequently, of either of these tried candidates would be a species of ingratitude on the part of the constituents ; and this we maintain with every possible good feeling towards Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, the City Solicitor. Whether the latter gesitleman be discomfited or not, we are satisfied that the common sense and the patriotic ardour of the Lambeth electors will ensure an *abundance of votes to Mr. HAWES. Of the predothinance of Liberal sentiments in MARYLEBUNE we are likewise satisfied. The ap pearance or non-appearance of a Conservative candi date in the person of Sir J. HAMILTON cannot, assuredly, affect a borough_ which was recently not satisfied with men less earnest in their political and religious liberality than Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Sir BENJAMIN HALL. The employment of the hero of Acre on the element upon which he has gained for himself immortality has deprived the Marylebone constituency of one zealous and un flinching representative. Sir BENJAMIN HALL, how ever, is still before them, and the consistency of his character has been long proved to them by personal experience. Let not the electors of MARYLEBONE be discouraged by the recusancy of any man whatever. It is immeasurably better for electors to detect the absence of every honourable principle in the heart of a candidate at an early period of the contest than after they have been deluded into award ing him a seat in the Commons. The only question, therefore, yet remaining to be decided in this me tropolitan constituency is as to the superior qualifi cations of Mr. Sergeant SHEE or Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART. Both candidates are characterised by a meritorious sincerity, both are eminent by their exertions and : abilities, one as a forensic advocate, the other as an unaffected philanthopist. In WESTMINSTER Mr. JOHN TEMPLE LEADER re tires into an inglorious privacy, after proving to his cost that " absence does not make the heart grow fonder." The two Liberal candidates, therefore, Sir DE LACY EVANS and Mr. C. LUSHINGTON, stand be fore the electors unopposed, unless the abrupt ad dress of Lori MANDEVILLE and the babble of a troubadour, can be dignified with the title of opposi tion. As to SOUTHWARK, the conduct of Sir W. MOLESWORTH and of Alderman HUMPHERY since the period of their last election has ensured them a victory almost as brilliant as that which is awaiting the Tribunes of Finsbury: The late representatives of the TOWER HAMLETS—Sir W. CLAY and Colonel C. R. Fox—both staunch participators in the popu lar movement—are brought into collision with .Mr, G. THOMPSON, the eloquent advocate of the deposed Raja of SATTARA, EMI Mr. A. K. HUTCHISON, who has already tasted the bitterness of defeat in the same constituency. We would suggest to the possessors of the franchise in the Tower Hamlets that, as one bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so two tried* men are better than two untried favourites. Such is the propitious aspect of electioneering matters among the metropolitan constituencies—constituencies which, it only true to themselves by continuing, as now, com bined in their enthusiasm, must return , sixteen strenuous supporters of liberal principles to the new Parliament at Westminster. Next in importance to the boroughs immediately in the vicinity of the Capital are, unquestionably two of comparative insignificance as to the nu:nerical strength or the electors, but of enormous considera tion from the men they have hitherto selected as their representatives—we mean TAXIWORTH and STOCKPORT. Unless the constituents of Tamworth are still possessed by the evil spirit of Protection, the return of Sir ROBERT PEEL will be a mag nificent vindication of his consistency ; and, unless the constituents of Stockport are afflicted with some sudden or incomprehensible hallucination, RICHARD COBDEN will not so much obtain a majority as an ovation. Among the principal manufacturing cities, MAN CHESTER will lose the services of Mr. MARK PHILIPS by his retirement, but will select a distinguished col league to the Right Hon. MILNER GIBSON, in the person of Jour.; BRIGHT. In consequence of the withdrawal of its recent Members, LIVERPOOL is threatened by the advent of Lord Jour; MANNERS as a candidate of Conservative and anti-free-trade principles. If the Liverpool constituents can swallow Lord JOHN MANNERS and his anti free-trade Conservatism, they will _ be unworthy to receive the Liberal Sir THOMAS BERNARD BIRCH ; and if the Glasgow constituents do not return the Lord Provost HASTIE and Mr. JAMES MACGRI,GOII, the eminent Secretary to the Board of Trade, they will disappoint the expectations of the Liberal electors of the United Kingdom. Such, therefore, is the position of the popular candidate> in the three great capitals of our insular commerce. In the metropolitan constituencies, in the consti tuencies of the Free-trade Orator, and the Free trade ex-Prime Minister, in the three greatest com mercial constituencies of the British islands, every thing proclaims to the Liberal electors—" Courage ! Onwards ! and the victory is already achieved !" ' ketonti ambition MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool was rather firmer: sales 3,000 bales, including 2,500 American, at bid. to 7iil. per lb. Shares were dull, but with little change in prices. As the Corn trade is now the object of such general attention, it may be interesting to direct our readers to the fall of about ss. per quarter noticed in the report of the market given is another column of The Sun, and with the possibility of a greater decline ere the conclusion of business. The supplies which have been received in London since this day. week have been enormous, viz.. 78,000 qrs. of wheat, 21.000 of barley, 36,000 of oats, 6,000 of Indian corn, and 50,000 barrels of flour. About 60,000 quarters were on board vessels passing the Sound, cording to the achices received this morning, and 360,000 qazaters are estimated to have reached ali toe ports of the United- Eingdockduring the past we. k, a tol r rable stop gap fur the' national consumption. Up to the 19th inst. there has . b.en a vast influx of shipping into Riga, and the nUmber of vessels which left that. port during the previous ten weeks, nearly all corn laden, was no less than 1,500. The exchange at Hatnburgh last Friday was without alteration, being 35, but gold was at 431. W hen we consider the extraordinary quantity of grain received, we cannot feel surprised at the recent decline in the rates for bills of exchange, because no doubt a good deal, probably the buik of this corn, and much of what is en route, has already been drawn for. The larger amount of silver sent away last week, upwards of 500,000 ounces, was in part liquidation. The Funds have been quiet, and still exhibit a want of buoyancy.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.) Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of Wheat - ot home produce were on the increase, but by no means good, the time of year considered. Those of English Earle}, Malt, Oats, and indeed all other articles, were on a very limited scale. From Ireland, a few cargoes ot Wheat and Flour reached us ; but tiom bc,,tland scarcely any grain came to hand. As to the imports from at road, the 3 were immense, the:' having t xe, e-ed 78.000 quarters of WI ear. 21.000 ditto of Barley, 36.000 ditto of Oats. 6 000 ditto of Indian Corn, and 50,000 barrels of Flout ; and, judgipg from the number of vess.ls which passed di, S,:und on Friday, a large im portation of grain may be expected this week. Fresh up to day, a lair average quantity of English Wheat came to hand, in, fur the most part, good condition. Still, however, the show of samples of that article was by no means exten sive. Notwithstanding that several somewhat unfavour ai)le accounts arrived hither this morning from various parts of England. relative to the prevalence of blight in the Wheat, and the spread of the disease in the Potat, crop, and the attendance of both town and country ' buyers was good, the demand, for all kinds of English Wheat- was exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quo tations paid on Monday last of from 4s to 5s per quar ter, and yet a total clearance was not effected. The quantity of Foreign Wheat brought forward was again very great, and of improved quality; hence the sale for all descriptions was excessively dull, and the currencies suffered a fall of from 3s to 4s per quarter. The sales did nut exceed 3 000 quarters, chiefly for inland consumption. No English Barley at Market, but we had a large supply of firreign on the stands. The trade was, therefore, very dull, at a fall in the rates paid on this day se'nnight of 2s per quarter. Selected samples of Malt supported previous currencies, but the middling and inferior kinds, though we cannot call them cheaper, were a mere drug. Notwithstanding the immense supply of foreign Oats, the demand for them, owing to most of the dealers being very short of stock, was tolerably steady, at about stationary prices. The reports relative to the crop of Beans being un favourable, the sale was firm, at is to 2s per quarter more money. A few samples of new Peas were on offer to-day ; but the trade was heavy, at late rates. Li Indian Corn next to nothing was doing ; but prices were mostly supported. The Flour trade was very dull, and when sales were pressed, lower prices were accepted, especially for barrelled qualities.

Although the attendance of buyers was by no means numerous, there was a steady inquiry for the best- Scots, Devuns, &c., at pric a about equal to. those obtained on Monday last—the very primest qualities of the former breed producing ss, though the more general top quotation did not exceed 4s 10d per - Bib... The middling and interior kinds of Beef met a sluggish inquiry, and, in some instances, the currencies had a downward tendency. One of the short-horn, which gained a pr,ze at the Northampton show was brought forward for sale here to-nay. From the northern grazing districts we received about 900 short horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge shire, 600 Scuts, homebreds, and short horns; from the western and midland districts, '2OO Hereford, runts, Devons,• &c.; from other parts of England, 200 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned sad polled Scott. The supply of • Sheep, notwithstand• ing it was larger than that exhibited on this day - week, was short, the time of year considered; hence the Mutton trade was very firm, and . last week's currencies were readily sup ported in every instance. With LamLa we were fairly supplied, but their general quality .as by no mans first rate. All breeds were in good request, but we can notice no improvement in value. The best Down qualities solo at 6s 4d per Sibs. There was more than an average number of Calves on offer; yet a goo i business was transacted in that description of stuck, at Friday's im proved quotations.

From the continued warm weather very little slaughtered meat has been received up to these markets from any part of England since this day se'nnight, but there has been a decided increase in the supplies on offer killed in the metropolis.

The quantity of Wool on offer in the private contract market is lar,e, yet the demand may be called more healthy than for some time past, at very full price. TALLOW. The letters which have reached us since our last from St. l'etersburgh, are to the effect that shipments of Tallow have progressed more rapidly than had been generally expected here, upwards of 24,000 casks having been shipped off up to the 12th instant.
