pounded by Government in the Health of Towns Bill, now passing triumphantly through the Lower House of Parliament. So extraordinary is the majority awarded to Lord MORPETH'S measure by the popular representatives, so unanimous are the Commons in hastening the pro gress of this benevolent Bill through the Legislature, that we are immeasurably more than sanguine as to the immediate and practical cemmencement of the most necessary of all innovations—the innovation upon an uncleanliness that genekates disease, and an economy of space and comfort which generate both disease and immorality. Before the present Parliament is dissolved the labour of love and charity will be begun. Before the new Parliament has assembled at Westminster, the tendrils of health and virtue will have already begun to vegetate, tending at once to the elevation and adorn ment of the people. This is the true EscuLaßtus : here may the worship of HYGEIA be revived without any of the degrading consequences that flowed from an idolatrous mythology. Here throughout the land, in the city as in the homestead, in the hamlet as well as in the parochial " close," in the village green as well as in the pestilential rookery, the footsteps of UNDINE will be traceable — strewing the ground as it were with moral flowers, and fertility, and fragrance. Utopia will in some sort be realised—Atalantis will no longer be a fantastic vision—Arcadia will be reduced from the romantic to the natural--when the fruuzy rabble of yore is contrasted with the cleanly population of the nineteenth century a population rendered cleanly by statute, and restored from debility to health according to the forms of law. Society will be based upon a nobler foundation than the golden sands of Cathay, when the rod of the sanatory commissioner, like the wand of the Prophet, has made the waters spout from the granite, and afforded a perpetual moisture where there was formerly a continual drought. Better than the jewelled pavements of El Dorado will be the systematic hollowing of our streets with drains, and the free admission of light and air to the hitherto darkened and pestiferous tenements of our populous towns and cities. When the opposition which is evinced by a ludi crously small minority to the admirable Health of Towns Bill, introduced by one of the leading mem bers of the Administration, is considered, it only enhances our conviction of the universal joy with I which the measure is regarded by the really sensible members of the community. It is insisted by its antagonists that this Bill will interfere unconstitu tionally with the rights, the prerogatives, and the authority of bodies corporate. We acknow ledge that it does abstract the rights and prerogatives of certain local authorities ; but it only abstracts them when centuries of mis management have shown the incompetence of those authorities to fulfil the duties upon the implied con dition of fulfilling which they were originally in vested with those rights and prerogatives. Those corporate bodies have exhibited their incapability of ensuring to the persons subject to their local legisla tion the very necessaries of existence, such as pure air and wholesome water, and of guarding them against the demoralising accessories of a filthy and promiscuous habitation. Seeing that disease and demoralisation are the only conspicuous results of these independent authorities, the State is resolved, if possible, to effect a comprehensive reformation by organizing an appropriate body with a central com mission. To speak plainly, the Government is de termined to effect a reduction in the periodical Bills of Mortality by the introduction of a permanent Bill of Sanatory Improvement. pating in the relief intended only for the destitute, have proved themselves wholly unworthy of the trust reposed in them, and should forthwith be removed from the several committees. The same may be said of those who encouraged intimidation, or who did not resist it when assailed with sufficient energy and courage. Wherever the party incul pated has been entrusted with the commission of the peace it is still more necessary to remove him from the position for which he is so unfitted. For these reasons, therefore, and not because it is required for the vindication of the Irish character, we conceive that the investigation should take place. Let the guilty parties receive their well-deserved exposure and punishment. We ex tend to our Irish brethren generally the same justice that we demand for ourselves, viz., that we believe them individually innocent until their guilt shall be satisfactorily established; and, therefore, there can be no necessity for their acquittal of that which is not laid to their charge. /sr Just ready, in one Vol., post tvo., les. 61, FACTS and FIGURES, From ITALY.

A letter from Tunis, of the 14th., says— "For several days the money market of Tunis has been in comn otion, from a retort that it was the inten tion of the Bey to issue paper money. Twenty contra dictory versions were in circulation, but the following appear to be the facts of the case. At the approach of the oil crop, which holds out every prospect of being a fine one, and which will _give rise to important commer cial transactions in the regency, the Government of the Bey has endeavoured to prevent the falsification of money, and to remedy at the same time the present dearth of specie. Tu attain this double object it has thought fit to order a new coinage to be made of pure silver, which will no longer afford the same facilities to forgers as the present currency, and in addition a sum equal to the issue of the new coinage is to be created in treasury bills, pay able to bearer, which shall be a legal and obligatory tender amongst all the inhabitants of the regency. These bills will bear all the marks necessary to demon strate their authenticity, and in order to throw obstacles in the way of their being forged, offices are to be esta blished in all the commercial centres to verify their iden tity; in order also that these bills may enjoy the full and entire confidence of foreign merchants, the local treasury will be always ready to give specie for them, on payment of a discount, which is said to be fixed at 4 per cent. This discount, whatever may be the rate established, is not a speculation on the part of the local government. It is for the purpose of preventing, by means of the loss which would attend it, the immediate exchange of these bills, which, if it were to take place at par, would be speedily returned to the Government, and thus deprive it of the resource which it was desirous of creating by issuing them. The Government hopes, besides, that when the commercial interests shall be convinced of the wise delay and the prudence observed in the creation of this paper money, confidence will not fail to be mani fested, and that private banks will be formed for dis counting at a more moderate rate than that fixed by the Government the notes which the holders may wish to change. To complete the advantages of this measure, the Tunisian Government, as soon as it shall see paper money taking the position that it has a right to hope for, is decided on fixing in an invariable manner the ♦alue of money, by giving to French money a legal rate of currency in its states, so as to put an end to the sudden and enormous fluctuations which the exchanges continually experience, and which depend on the varia tions in the crops. But all these modifications would be useless, if the Tunisian Government, in creating a paper which is to repose essentially and exclusively on credit, should not endeavour to inspire that credit by the only means proper to inspire it— namely, by the prosperity of the country. This prosperity can only be promoted by a radical remodelling of the system of administration. This is what the Government of the Bey appears to be convinced of, for it is decided on the gradual abolition of monopolies, and on giving the widest encouragement for the development of agriculture, the true wealth of the regency, by disembarrassing it of all the obstacles which sow beset it. These measures, of which we can announce the early execution, in securing for his High ness the Bey Ahmed the approbation of all civilised governments, will give a permanent credit to his new financial system, and confidence to all persons who have commercial and other interests in the Regency of Tunis."

The performances will commence at Half-past Seven o'clock pre- The third report of the Irish Relief Commissioners, which has just been published, has excited the anger of many of the Irish Members. They conceive that a charge has been made affecting the honour and character of the people of that country, and imputing to the gentry of Ireland, as a body, the grossest mis conduct, if not dishoneV, in their proceedings, as members of the several relief committees, when car- rying out the provisions of the Relief Bill. Such at Least was the view taken by the Member fo7 Mallow nesday ; and several otners appearrtrw him in that opinion. With this impression it is not surprising that an anxious desire should exist on their part to exonerate the really innocent from every imputation of so grave an offence, and to fix the guilt firmly and unequivocally upon those who have acted in so disgraceful and scandalous a manner. There appears, however, too acute a sensibility on the part of those who have generalised the charges contained in the report, who will insist on their uni versality notwithstanding the express limitation of the censure. The finance committees have honourable testi mony borne to their merits. They are stated " to have, with very rare exceptions, acted with seal and intelligence, correcting in many instances errors of system introduced by the relief committees." No per sons connected with these bodies, therefore, can have any possible grounds for complaint, while in the class more immediately impeached the Commissioners admit " that in a great number of dis tricts the charge is not applicable." Where there are so many wholly exempted, it cer tainly betokens an extreme degree of sensi tiveness to insist that any particular persons are included, and to feel that it is necessary for their vindication that they should specially be exonerated. It would exhibit a much higher feeling if they relied on their unimpeachable characters as an amply sufficient answer. There is, however, a reason why, in justice to the people of England as well as of Ireland, the matter should not be suffered to rest in its present state, but should receive that full and perfect investigation which its importance requires. Large sums have been devoted to the rdiei of Ireland, our own hard-working and over-toiled arti sans have consented still to bear the burden of heavy and oppressive taxation, in order that their starving brethren in the sister kingdom might be fed; Madrid papers of the 25th ult. have arrived. The Gageta publishes a dispatch from General CONCHA, dated Braganza, June 16, stating that he expected to arrive before Oporto on the 22d or 23d. Another dispatch announces the arrival of Brigadier BELESTA, with a corps d'armie, at Chaves. The Carlist chief EL ESTUDIENTE, has surprised the town of Belorado, and seized some arms and 2,000 reals in money, the property of the municipality.

The Due DE BROGLIE was to leave Paris on that day for London, to enter on his duties as Ambassador. The Comte DE JARNAC, who has been staying at Paris for a few days, was to leave that city at the same time, for the purpose of resuming the exercise of his functions as chief secretary to the English Embassy. The election of a Deputy for the fourth arrondisse ment of Paris, in the place of the late M. GANNEnoN, commenced on Tuesday. There are four candidates in the field, namely, Messrs. MALGAIGNE, BER TRAND, H. SAY, and FLANDIN. The number of voters was 858, and the votes were as follow :—M. MALGAIGNE, 317 ; M. BERTRAND, 229 ; M. H. SAY, 197 ; and M. FLANDIN, 105 ; lost votes, 10. As the absolute majority of 430 votes was obtained by neither of the candidates, there was to be another ballot on Wednesday. M. FLANDIN has retired from the contest in favour of M. H. SAT. The Budget of the Minister of the Interior was voted by the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, and the discussion on that of the Minister of Commerce and Agriculture was commenced. M. LEON FAUCHER intends to propose, as an amendment to this Budget, to vote a credit of 40,000,000 f. for the construction of railroads, instead of one of twenty millions, as proposed by the Committee.

They knew that the tax on light and air must on that account at least be continued for a longer period than might otherwise have been the case—that they must postpone for a considerable time the hope of obtaining many of their humble comforts at more reasonable prices, and such as would bring them within their means of purchase. They have a right, therefore, to know that their liberality has not been imposed upon. Those who have acted in the manner described by the Commissioners should be exposed to the public odium, and, if their offences are legally cognisable, they should receive the punishment they so richly deserve, and should be driven with contumely from the ad ministration of the trusts they have betrayed, the duties they have violated, and should not he suffered to remain in any branch of the public service.

Surely the law is sufficiently stringent to reach the parties guilty of such infamous and dis graceful conduct. It would almost amount to a par ticipation in their guilt to shelter and protect them.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING-, JULY 3, 1847 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market et Liverpool was very firm again yesterday. Sales 8,000 bales, including 800 bales of American for exportation and 900 on speculation. There were 5,000 bales American sold at 68d. to 7id. The advance since last Friday is estimated at id. per lb.—A good business was done in Shares, but prices were scarcely supported. The Share Market was a shade lower to-day, still the fluctuation has not been very great. Shares in the East Indian companies have come into great demand, and from being a most unsaleable, have jumped up to a premium. The following are a few of the principal sal-s of Railway Shares by Messrs. Lamond and Cc,,;— Great Western of Bengal £0 5 0 East Indian ...

These are all very satisfactory in reference to the crops and the weather and the markets.

At Bremen corn was cheaper, and at Riga wheat was at lower rates, though rye had fluctuated, and was not so decided in its tendency. In the Stettin market, on the 25th instant, grain was flatter, and the supplies large. The weather at Berlin, on the 26th ult., was moat auspicious. A letter froen Naples states, under date of June 25th, that 800 ships had passed there, mostly laden with grain, and bound to Leghorn and Genoa. Throughout the kingdom of the Two Sicilies the crops were excellent. The Corn market is decidedly lower again to-day, and with every appearance of a further decline. The supplies are most abundant as regards foreign grain, but there is still only a short quantity of English. The dullness of the West India market has become a matter of special remark lately, and there appears to he no difference in this respect either here or at the out ports. Abundant supplies and foreign competitioe will no doubt afford the readiest solution of this state of affairs in the face of steady consumption, and we have already seen the result in the fall of one or two houses of good standing in the sugar trade. The f llowing extract from a Bristol report is not very encouraging:— " For West India sugar, which is now comparatively cheaper than other descriptions, we continue to expe rience a steady consumptive demand, especially for those kinds suitable for the pans, but the prices have again retrograded, and must be quoted ls. to 2s. under the rates current at the date of our last reoort; importers generally have been free sellers throughout the month, and the market has been well supplied with samples, but this remark applies more particularly to West India descriptions, as the holders of Mauritius have mostly withdrawn their stocks from the market for the present; the stock of Bengal is nearly all in second hands, and the business is consequently limited. " Purchases of good working sugars continue to be made in London and Liverpool by our refiners, as this description is still scarce here; the refined market has been flat, and prices have given way 2s. to 3s. per cwt., 595. to 60s. being now the average value of a refining, against 625. to 635. at the end of last month. Treacle has also declined in value, the best make having been sold for forward delivery at 245., and syrup at 265. For Crushed and Pieces the demand continues good, and those descriptions, especially the former, command corn ' partitively high prices." The English Funds are extremely dull, and there is a slight disposition to sell. Consols for Account have been 89k to 888. As we get towards the 16th inst. the state of the account will probably develop itself more clearly. The Three per Cent.

Etty. The engraving is of the same size as the original painting, _to t.„. oval. ive amore perfect copy of theThrigiraf, afirTurnisnirg L., the purchasers of the print a transcript not too duni ni.hed to convey the man,er of the artist at once to the eye when hanging against the wall of a room. The painting was exhibited in the year 1844 in the Gallery of the British Institution, and was then much admired. There is great boldness and breadth in the painting, and it is strictly an original conception. There is no subser vieney of copying, nor any pre [ conception from the heads of the Messiah so repeatedly produced by the Italian and Spanish masters. It partakes of the human attributes, and is nit idealised or rendered effeminate by an attempt to refine. The engraver purchased the painting, and has been assiduous, and certainly success ful in his efforts to produce the print. It is engraved in a manner that preserves solidity, and brings it nearer to the style of the painter and to the imitation of painting than heretofore has been met with. There is something original in the manner in which Mr. Wass has produced this effect, and he will do well to cultivate his ta!ent for this novelty in art. The engraving is of an oval shape; the whole is very vigorous, displaying great freedom of hand and great power of expression. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL, PORTUGAL -STREET, LINCOLN'S INN-FIELDS. —Thursday afternoon a special general court of the governors of the above institution was held for the purpose of receiving a proposition to elect the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P., to the office of Vice-President of the hospital. Alderman Cop-land, M.P., having taken the chair, proposed a resolution embodying the object abovenamed, which was seconded by Major Moore, and Sir Robert Peel was unanimously elected by a very full court of governors. Thanks having been voted to Mr. Alderman Copeland, the chair was vacated by that gentleman, and occupied by Mr. W. Fergusson, F.R.S., and after the disposal of the routine business connected with the charity the meeting separated. From the report of the secretary, Mr. Lyon, it appears that the charity is greatly increas ing in public utility, 17,850 patients having been treated during the past year, of whom 1,276 were in-door re cipients. It is also reported, that since 1840 nearly 84,000 patients have been admitted without letters of recommendation, including about 5,000 in patients. AN INNOCENT CONVICT.—A highway robbery was committed in the early part of 1846 by fur persons, near Hertford, and three were taken into custody and tried at the February assizes held there, and being all found " guilty," were sentenced each to 15 years' trans portation. William Bowers, one of the persons con victed, declared his innocence of any participation in the crime after sentence bad been passed upon them • but the testimony of his fellow-convicts was of a doubtful na ture, owing to their silence on the subject previous to conviction. Another of the guilty parties having been recently taken, confessed to the chaplain of the Hertford Gaol that William Bowers was innocent of being a :par ticipator in the crime of which he was convicted, and named the other person, still at large; and it having now been satisfactorily established that Bowers was really innocent, a free pardon for him was received from Sir George Grey, Secretary of State, by Mr. Master :Han, Governor of the Warrior convict hulk, at Wool wich, yesterday, and the prisoner was immediately libe rated. The poor man appeared greatly delighted with the prospect of his immediate return to his wife and three children, from whom he has been separated during the last 18 months, and his case is one deserving the consideration of the authorities at Hertford, to enable him to become again a useful memberof society when his innocence has been proved. SOUTH SEA HOUSE.—Thursday a quarterly general court of proprietors of South Sea stock was held at the company s house in Threadneedle-street, for the pur pose of declaring a dividend, Charles Franks, Esq., the sub-governor in the chair. The minutes of the last court were read and confirmed. The secretary read a statement of the company's accounts for the past half year. The Chairman, after referring to those accounts, and explaining an error in them with respect to a date, moved that a dividend of one and three-quarters per cent. be declared on the company's stock fur the half year ending the sth of July. The motion was agreed to, and the dividends announced to be payable on the same day as the Government dividends. There being no other business before it, the court adjourned. THE CROPS IN AMERICA.—We have made it our business to read, carefully, the accounts of the growing crops throughout the country, since the opening of spring, and we have arrived at the conclusion that the prospect of the husbandman of reaping a plentiful harvest is decidedly good. To be sure, the lateness and coldness of the season, and the hail-storms, have in some places destroyed the young cotton and tobacco plants, but the ground which these occu pied has been generally replanted with corn, or something else equally as good for the sustenance of man. In the west and south west, the prospect of an abundant yield was never better, and if the wea ther be propitious that prolific part of the country will give au unlimited yield. The immense drain upon this country for food for the past year, and the prospective demand for the surplus of this year's harvest, stimulated many of our citizens, who never made two blades grow where but one grew, to leave their regular business and embark in agricul ture. This, with the fact that our farmers have planted on a larger scale than they ever did, will give the world an insight into the immense agricultural re sources of the United States. We shall still continue to watch the progress of the crops, and record from day to day their advance to maturity. It is the most important and interesting intelligence that we can pre sent to our readers.—New York Herald, June 1.

It produces continuous roars of laughte r during the whole time the patient is subjected to lti pleasant operation ; and. judging from the effects pry duced on Thursday, we think we may venture to state that the Sovereign Remedy will be in nightly course , administrstiun at rho Pri•iee4s's for months to come.

Eleven years since (May 16, 1836) an unpretending b! association was formed at Trieste for navigating t Mediteranean. Supported by the Austrian Governmeo w the Austrian Lloyd's Company has succeeded in increste. in g its steam-boats from 6 to 20 , and the number of triv yellers conveyed in one year from 7,967 to 124 985. Th e t a / amount of in,rchandise, letters and bullion has increas a in a similar proportion. 35,000 letters, 5,000 cases. an 10 millions in specie, were conveyed in the year 18 3 '; which increased to 277,000 letters, 136,137 cases, and 8 millions of specie in the year 1846 The preceding tails, which might be multiplied, demonstrate sufficien t l that the important establishment of Lloyd's has a lready brought to Trieste a cons derable number of passeng ev acd merchandise which formerly took another dire ctioe' It is towards that point the greater part of the nor, chandise consumed in Greece, Turkey, Egypt, the r , " ) ; • nubian provinces, and Persia is directed.

This matter appears to us of such importeli; that we consider it necessary to enter into some det,L , on the subject. The entire trantnit from Ostend to este, through Cologne, Bonn, Coblentz, Frankfort, 541 ,i0 gard, Augsburg, Munich, Saltzburgh, and Bruck, is leagues. Of this line, 100 leagues from Ostend to /3° 1 4 36 from Bierherich to Heidelberg, through Frapil,°l6 14 from Heilbronn to Ulm, through Stuttgard, and 68 from Augsburg to Munich, are open to the public; ;1 4 leagues, forming a great portion of the line from 131 13 ",, to Trieste. are already finished. Thus of the entire e'„; =ent of 430 leagues, 234 are already open, or are sib?", to be so, and the completion of the remainder of the 1 4 is being actively accomplished. Independently of t" 0 bne, the road from Trieste to Ostend, through Bresle Vienna, Magdeburg, Minde and Cologne, offers an t 1 : 0 interupted continuation of completed roads, since of 0 extent of 625 leagues 119 only, those portions fry, Trieste to Lubiana, and fro m Murzzuschlag to G lo 6v nitz, are unfinished. _tl Mr. Rait's Cybele Mr. Meiklani's Otterburn Betting—Even on Cybele, and 5 to 4 agst Otterburn.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. in detail de d t i a ff i e l re the nt Six,—Ass The Sun is, I believe, the only paper in London that brought talt e forward s th e in trouble s o u f p giving port of evidence railway Bills which come before the noti • ce of the two Houses of Parl ament, I should be ill disposed to fi nd fault without due occasion with a journal that and on other occasions, has shown so laudabl e a a ton desire t his,tn collect the earliest and most varied i n f o rmation for the instruction and amusement of its readers. But I trust I may be allowed to impress on the mind of your reporter the extreme care and discrimination that ought to be observed in the necessarily brief 1 ction of the se e leading facts of the evidence, that its g eneral meaning and oiject be preserved. I make these observations in consequence of having h a d my attention called, a f ew days ago, to certain statements contained; in The Sun of the 14th inst., purporting to be evidence given by me before a Committee of the Souse of Commons, in favour of th e (teat Norther. (Axholme Extension) Railway, which contains several inaccuracies, and is calculated to conv..y an erroneous impression the general reader. I am made, incorrectly, to use th e word e " middleman" to de,icrne the factors who attend Docaster market and th ou gh that may n ot have been intended as a term of reproach, it has, nevertheless, since the able exposure by the 1 imes of the coeaere system in Ireland, been con .o.irreil any-thine but an enviable title. There are among that body men for whom I entertain feelings of the highest respect, whose integrity of purpo'e, intelligence, render them worthy of a far more respectful appellation than is convey ii in the op probrious taunt of " middleman." The Doncasterians 4ave niter' eu that my evidence was calculated to in juriously affect their market, by its being stated that the current of trade would he diverted from its present chan nel, and reach the great consuming markets of the west, without first touching at the intermediate market of Donca , ter. The opinion I expressed was quite the contrary of this; but I will not further trespass on the SleaCe )one columns. inserting these te,.. remarks you will disabuse the minds ce =toy, and do a rvice to, Sir, your humble servaiit, J.
