Additional particu la rs of this occurrence are published in our columns this evening, and many of the do. mestic secrets which have been hitherto garnered up in the bosom of the dead Duchess, as being invested with a sacredness too profound for utterance, are now revealed to the whole world as the epilogue of an awful tragedy. The diary of the unfortunate lady. blotted with emotion, and blurriod with her tears is printed in many instances perhaps with the same type which " composed" the love letters of TROMAs HENRY HOCKEIL. It is impossible to read the im passioned ejaculations of this excellent but ill-doomed matron, without lamenting for her destiny. The nar rative bears in every detail the character of a romance, and though the p3sa4 - es of these "ImpressioLs " of the Duche.s DE PRASLIN are broken almost to incoherence, and written with an inartistic simplicity of language, they occasionally breathe the affectionate intensity of " Eloise," and the gloomy and despond•ut anguish of the " S,lrtor Resartus." It is not, however, to the manuscripts of the Duchess DE CHOISEUL•PRASLIN that we would make immediate reference ; it is rather to the judicial brutality evinced throughout the exa mination of her wretched husband. civilized as France unquestionably is, her criminal code, when contra-teri with that a RngLat,a, ii as a code or barbarians. tier dungeons are virtually as atro cious rec.pta.eles 'or the accused, as the iron cages in which her eleventh Louis incarcerated his antago nists. Her courts of inquiry are moveny as inhuman as those of the Inquisition, when the victims of the supreme authority were sunized into an acknow- ledgment of their guilt by the wheel, the rack, the thumbscrews, and the scavenger's daughter. Often as this charge has been levelled against the French system of j urisprudence, the truth of the ac cusation was never more deplorably enforced than during the examination of that miserable Peer, who has only escaped from an ignominious decapitation upar. the scaffold, by adding to the infamy of assassins ttf:m the despair of suicide. Never, certainly, was in- terrogation conducted with such consummate cruelty With ourselves the accused is regarded as guiltless until every circumstance of the transaction has been debated and investigated, and every syllable of evi dence, whether direct or circumstantial, has been elicited from the successive occupants of the witness-box. By a species of magnanimity, un known and unappreciated among our neighbours, the laws of England regard every man as innocent until he is proved, upon public trial, to be guilty. Nor is the leniency of our criminal code restricted to this ; its generosity extends further; it requires not only that no confession of crime shall be extorted from those who are charged with its commission, but it actu ally refuses to receive any confessions of a man's cul pability as evidence against him, unless those con fessions are made after being warned that they will tend towards his conviction. Beyond this, our judges are empowered to grant to any destitute person ac cused of some serious offence the advantages of an advocate--such advocate being compensated for the exercise of his forensic abilities by fees drawn from the revenues of the Government. This is carrying out, indeed, by a beautiful punctilio the allegorical representation of Justice ; this is, in truth, binding up the eyes of the goddess with a bandage. Nor i s her judgment warped by thi s l en i ency. H er d ec i- Mons are as inexorable ; her punishments are as de cisive ; he: sword is as keen ; her scales are as accu rately balanced. In France, how enormous and deplorable is the &fference ! "I here the law is not so much devoid of benevolence as of comm , n humanity--it is not even impart a'—it is rn r:dly oblique—it leans to the side of severity—it takes suspicion for testimony—it views accuse as tantamount to conviction—it has raised the scaffold before it has formed the tribunal. Ob-erve the dastardly cours e adopted in reference to the Duke DE CUOISEUL- I i ttASLIN. ' lie is con:rontel with the President of the Court of Peers and tte members of the Commission, and endeavours are ma , '.e to extort from his lips— his lips, wr;thiug with a thousand emotions—the de claration of his own dishonour and atrocity! Great D l the agonies of such an inquisition are only com parable with those inflicted by red hot pincers and boiling As this wretched man was , in the uni versal convicti on , most g uilty, h e might have been most innocent, ard, pre suming i mi n a t n innocent mats to have good in his pla ce , t h e interrogations of the i French authorities would have been con ceived as ruthlessly articulated.

'Are these things uttered in the nineteenth century? or are they not rather reverberations of criminal in quiries daring the feudalism of the dark ages ? Such are the . *buses which Lord BROUQUAIL has to al phstically reprobated, such are the brew *toe which are followed even under the reformed consti tution of an enlightened empire! When so many attacks have been made on the Relief Commissioners of Ireland—when such indig nation has been poured forth on their devoted heads, not only for what they have done, but for what they have left undone —when the statements in which they found it necessary to impugn the conduct of some of the bodies who should have rendered valuable assist ance, and vigilantly guarded the public stores en trusted to their hands, but who betrayed the confi dence reposed in them, and suffered that property to be made away with, were controverted, and their accuracy denied in the strongest terms—it is satis factory to find some, at least, of the relief com mittees duly appreciating the labours of the Commis sioners, making the proper allowance for the many impediments and obstructions which they had to encounter in the Herculean task of providing food for three millions of destitute persons, and recording their grateful sense of the ability and zeal with which those well-abused and much-maligned persons had discharged their arduous and, in too many instances, thankless duties. The resolutions of the Portadown Relief Committee, adopted on the 27th ultimo, are in the highest degree creditable to every member of the body ; they exhibit that self-reliance, that determi nation to look for no extraordinary assistance, now that the extreme difficulties have been overcome, which it would be so desirable to see generally pre• valent in Ireland. There is no cry for the continu slice of the Government aid, no complaints at its ithdrawal ; but while they acknowledge its value and efficacy during the time of trial and emergency, they recognise the propriety of its withdrawal, now that they are blessed with an abun dant harvest, and that there is every pros pect of a season of plenty and cheapness, and in a manly and straightforward manner expres s their heartfelt thanks for the benefits they have re ceived. :They resolve " that they do not separate without placing on record their lasting sense of the uniform kind and able assistance rendered them by her MAJESTY'S Relict Commissioners for Ireland, and they beg to take this mode of expressing their grateful acknowledgments of the same." A strong rebuke is administered to the clamwrers, who while they looked os in helpless apathy, and refrained from affording that cordial co-operation which might rea sonably have been expected at their hands—suffering all the labours, in which they should at least have participated, to devolve upon the Government officers —yet conceived themselves entitled to heap reproaches and charges on the authorities, if anything occurred on which a plausible pretext for a complaint could possibly be founded. They say— " The Portadown Relief Committee cannot be ig norant of the many and harassing difficulties with which the Relief Commissioners must have found themselves beset when suddenly called upon to devise means which, under God, might prove effectual to the extricating of millions of pour creatures from the horrors and miseries of famine that was fast desolating the laud ; and, there fore have no desire to unite with those who believe they are justified in condemning a system of relief because of its unavoidable imperfections, and giving no credit to a Board remarkable at least for the honesty of their inten tions, and the great ability displayed in grappling with difficulties of no ordinary magnitude." And they also render a fitting tribute of gratitude to those charitable associations—the British Association, the Central Relief Association of Ireland, and the Society of Friends, who collected and distributed sums considerably exceeding half a million sterling amongst the starving population. Surely stub con duct is more suitable and _ far better calculated to cement the feelings of mutual good-will between the two countries, and to unite them in the most amicable relations, Phan that of persons who, having taken advantage of everything placed within their reach by the national liberality who having accepted all that was offered, continued grumbling and complaining, depreciating that which they received, and repudiating any liability to repay any portion of the advances from the public purse. It is likewise a more prudent and sensible course. No assistance within our power would be withheld from those who received it in such a spirit. Any remonstrance which such persons might put forward as to their inability to meet at once the full weight of the liabilities for which they were re sponsible, and desire that the same might be accepted by easier instalments, would be at once attended to, The parties who indulge themselves in invectives against the Government and the people of England should know that it is not only disgraceful to them selves, but that it is in the highest degree impolitic and foolish. The Swiss Diet came on the 27th to a decision with respect to the Federal officers who are connected by service with the Sontierbund. Twelve States and two half States voted for the proposition of the Di rectory for striking out of the lists of the Federal Staff all the officers, of whatever rank, who may hold service under the Sonderbund; and eight States and two half States voted against it. The debate which preceded the vote was very animated. In the mean time military preparations are actively going on, both in the cantons forming the Sonder hand and in those which retain their allegiance to the Federal Government, and a collision appears inevi table. The Sonderbund rely upon foreign assistance. The intelligence of the protest by the King of SARDINIA against the Austrian occupation of Ferrara is confirmed, and it is said that his Mast:sat has been induced to make common cause with the Yore in consequence of a desire having been expressed by Prince METTERNICH to be permitted to place an Aus trian garrison in Alessandria, one of the strongest fortresses in the King of SARDINIA'S dominions. The Austrians on the 231 were still at Ferrara. The Roman Government pursues with as much activity as intelligence the arming of the civic guard. It has sent the artillery captain, LorEz, to France, to purchase ten thousand mu.ke:s ; citizens from all parts offer it arms, and the number of younz volun teers who have offered themselves to resist an invasion, is calculated at ten thousand. Signor AZEGLIO is on the point of starting for La Romagna, charged with full powers on the part of the POPE to organize resist ance in case of necessity. The enthusiasm is at a great height in Rome, and within the last few d tys, Cardinal FERRETTLOH seeing the National. Guard manoeuvre near the country house of the Prince PoisisiNo, cried that "he would willingly march at the head of tile brave young men, and that he would not hesitate to command them on the field of battle." 'rhe spirit of patriotism and of energy which animates the Holy Father and his principal councillors has extended itself not only among the people, but even to the hearts of the ecclesiastics. A letter from Rome speaks of the early organization of a battalion of priests and monks, and it is certain that a great number of members of the religious orders exercise themselves in the practice of arms. The Pori rides about the city on a white•mule, which he bought at Florence, altirg d i shows to his loyal and faithf u l su bj ects n a face bea ming with the calm of a good con sc i ence , and the profound sentiment of his rights and his strength. We are assured that M. Rossi, h av i ng offeredhim his mediation o n the subject of the affair considering b; c o r!contented t e h d i himself se o f r i!u e ‘ r ly ra offended, n dbeed,rehpelievid. would not an ordinary arrangement, and that he intended to exact complete satisfaction. cause an illicit destination to bk.. -uspeeted. The blame exprissed on this occasion by the English Government shows that it has seir.d with alacrity the first opportu nity of causing the intruction.l annexed to the conven tion of 29th May. 1845, to be scrupulously observed." The harvest has been one of the most productive ever known in France, and the wine and cider is so abundant that one-half of it must be wasted from the want of casks to contain it.

FINE ARTS. THE VILLAGE FESTIVAL. By Ruhens. We bow down in homage before the genius of Sir Peter Paul Rubens. Glory he to his im-mory ! We remember that the hand of this immortal master produced one of the noblest—perhaps the noblest — work of art the world has ever seen. We remember that the " Descent from the Cross" is only rivalled by the "Transfiguration' of the divine Raffaello d'Urbino. And yet we have the audacity to turn from many of the paintings attributed to the easel of Rubens, not only with feelings of disappointment, but too often of absolute disgust. In saying this we know that we shall be regarded by most connoisseurs as little less foolDardy than the soldier of Brennus who plucked the Roman senator by the beard. We know ourselves that it almost sounds like blasphemy, seeing that we should receive the labours of Rubens with profound deference, and thank God for having created him; but we are equally satisfied that it is anything but an approximation to blasphemy. And this be cause we are morally convinced that the vast majority of the productions attributed to Sir Peter Paul were the productions ( his disciples. Supposing that he did really paint dile hundreds of pictures said to have come from his atelier—why, then, he must 'not only have been a demi- God of Art but a Giant of Industry into the bargain. To our thinking, it is self-evident that Rubens could nut by possibility have done all he is said to have dune, both on account of the number of the supposed originals, and often their total want of excellence. There is a picture exhibiting at this moment at the Palace-chambers, No. 88, St. James's street, which is described as a Rubens, and called a " Village Festival." We saw it on Tuesday. We cannot pretend to an admiration which we should no doubt feel when gazing upon this tableaux—to us it appears nothing better than an animate l indecency, quite unworthy of the illustrious man to whom it is attributed. Without any of the humour, it has all the coarseness of Teniers; without any of the quaint ness, it has all the vulgarity of Ostade. The colour ing is brilliant, the grouping is spirited, and the bands of dancers are thoroughly in earnest. More praise than this the painting does not elicit from us— we cannot persuade ourselves into any degree of enthusiasm. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MA GISTRATES--(THIS DAY.) A numerously attended meeting of magistrates, for the county of Middlesex, was held this morning, at the Court-house, Cierketoseil-green ; Mr. Pownall in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, The Deility Clerk of the Peace proceeded to lay be fore the magistrates the report of the Visiting Justices of the House uc Correction, Coldhath-fields, from which it appeared that the number of prisoners detained there was 1,109. of which 907 were males, and 2b2 females. The tepurt of the Visiting Justices of the House of Correction was next. read, which stated the um:l*er of prisoners to be 818 males, and 119 females. The rase of prisoners attacked by illness was 31 per cent, of wales. and 7 p;r cent. tetnales. Sever s 1 cases of fever had appeared in the prison, and dysentery prevailed much during the nioLthei of July and August. Upon the repot of the visiting justices for the House of Detention (Clerkenwell) being brought up, Mr. B. ROTCH said that they had resolved that aft(r the 28th Lot. no turther prisoners should be sent to Westminster who were detained previous to trial, but that all persons awaiting trial or rb-examination should atter the above date, be sent to the House of Detention, swell. After the re-election of the visiting justices for the several Rouses of Corrections in the county, Mr. Hiu moved that a Court should be specially summoned as for a county day upon next Tuesday, the 7th inst., which was agreed to. The COURT then proceeded with the routine county business, tu which no point of general interest occurred. THAMES.-(THIS DAY.) John Boss was charged with assault and felony. The prosecutrix, Margaret Lamb, stated that she re sided at N 0.2, Princ.li- street, Upper East Smithfield. Last night bar infant child was taken suddenly ill, and gradually grew worse, till about two o'clock this morn ing. She was recommended to giye it some brandy.

She accompanied him, and gave him some gin for his trouble. She then hastened home, and the prisoner followed, on pretence of seeing her safe..

The Albtnian in'urgents were completely defeated on the 25th of July by the troops of the SULTAN. From Athens we learn that General Gaiziorri had escaped from his prison at Chalks. and gone to the Island of Nejropont (the ancient Eubcon), where he had raised the standard of revolt against the Coletti Government. He was spee , lily joined by the inhabitants of the island, and when the last ac counts left was at the head of a considerable and daily increasing force.

ALLEGED DEATH Paoli FIGHTING. --Yesterday Mr. Bedford, the Coroner, received intormation of the following mysterious death of a person named Thomas Ward, lately living at 27, Duck-lane. The deceased applied on Tues;:sy afternoon last at Westminster Hospital, with an out-patient's letter, complaining at the time of suffering from spitting of blood and diarilicea. lie was seen by Mr. Newbotnbe, one of the house sur geons, who prescribed for him, after which he walked away apparently much easier. About two hours after wards he was brought back to the hospital on s stretcher, qaite dead. A person named Mary Cross said that the moment he came home from the hospital he said, "I am a dead man," and be laid down on the bed and expired without a struggle. A brother said that the deceased was in the constant habit of fighting, and almost every day he was in some potbquse broil. He believed that his brother had been fatally injured' during one of these fights, but by whom it was impossible to tell. An in quest will be held on the body tomorrow. SUICIDE OP A LATE CLERK AT SOMERSET-HOUSE. — Last evening Mr. T.

The ccinstable took deceased to the police-station, and medical aid was sent for, but he died in a few hours. Every attempt to discover where the deceased bought the laudanum has failed. Fr en the statements of several gentlemen who were its the same office with the deceased, it appeared that up to about tilree years since a more regular man did not exist.

The following, which we extract from the Debuts, will be read with interest by the many friends of Marshal SEBASTIANI, who are residing in this country. •' Marshal Sebastiani determined to return to Paris in spite of the efforts of his grand-daughter, who tried to dissuade him from it. He wished, he said, to see what remained of his only child. He caused the apart ment of the unfortunate Duchess to be opened, and, the heart broken by grief, the eyes bathed with tears, but retaining with incredible energy the expression et his sentiments, he examined the scene of the crime which ravished from him his well-beloved daughter. On the inspection being terminated, the Marshal exclaimed : -- 6 There is one still more to be pitied than I am—the mother of the assassin !' He immediately visited the Dowager Duchess de Choiseul-Praslin ; and that was the only time that he has quitted his hotel since his ar rival. Such an act is above all praise." The journals of all parties condemn in loud terms the tenour of the article on the affairs of Italy which appeared in the Journal des Debuts of the day pre- ceding. The Presse says— " For the honour of our Cabinet, we would hope that the language held this morning by the Journal des De. bats on the events in Italy has not its sanction. Nothing. in fact, can be more wretched than thatlanguage ; nothing more suited to alienate from us the sympathies of the Roman Government, and of the population, so worthy of interest, which is making common cause with it. The intervention of the Austrians in Ferrara is reduced, contrary to common sense, to a simple question, as to the interpretation to be given to the treaties of Vienna. The Debals gives itself the appearance of not being quite sure that Austria had not a right to do what she has done. It is admitted that the conduct of Austria is greatly to be regretted, but .solely because she has deranged that pillar of the status quo on which it is so agreeable to repose. Then, after that lamentation, so little worthy, and so inconsistent with the situation of affairs, the Dibats turns against the Pope. The Popel Oh, be is the great culprit; he thought proper to pro test; he thought [,roper to entertain a feeling of his rights, and of the nationality which he represents. He thought proper not to struggle agaiaat the patriotic movement which is arising on all sides around him. It is unpardonable. The grand policy excommunicates him. The injary which that language will cause us in Italy amongst all those moderate but liberal men who had believed that they might have counted on at least our moral support, will be immense. Thu Journal des Debatv had better have continued to maintain silence than to open its mouth to suffer such lamentable words to fall from it. We have no hopes of changing the de termination of that resolution adopted to maintain a perfect immovability, a resolution which presses more than ever on all questions, both foreign and domestic. But it is necessary at least that all France should know that the policy which is imposed on it is a complete de viation from the great principles which it regarded as a point of honour to pursue until the present moment. It is necessary that France should measure the entire depth of the abyss which separates the doctrines main tained by M. Guizot himself and the system to which he appears to have decidedly allied himself at present." After quoting from the speeches of M. GUIZOT in 1839, when he opposed the evacuation of Ancona by France, on the ground that Austria having pro mised free institutions to Italy, and not having per formed that promise, had no right to demand, al though she herself had retired from the Legations, that France should evacuate Ancona. Notwithstand ing the stipulations of the convention entered into between the two Powers were express on that head, the Presse thus proceeds The Pope is free and independent within his own territories. In accord with his subjects, he is free to adopt such reforms as may appear proper to secure the happiness of the states of the Holy See. Austria con ssquentlt commits an unjustifithle encroachment by en deaveuring to prevent him by the threat of an armed in tervention, and on this supposition M. Guizot, the Minis ter for Foreign Affairs, ought to act. But his duty in that respect would be still better defined if, as M. Guizot maintained in the year 1839, Austria had ever eon s coiltracted a solemn engagement to support the estab lishment of liberal institutions in Italy. It such be the case, her present conduct is inexcusanle, and would con stitute, with respect to France particularly, a scandalous violation of a sacred premise. M. Guizot, consequently, cannot suffer Austria to proceed, whether he still believes what he stated in 1839 or whether he has changed his opinion. Under no supposition, under no pretext, is he permitted to remain inactive; and if, as we fear, we are to regard the article of the Jou 7 nal des DebaP as the programme of his policy, we do not hesitate to assert, that never shall we have failed in FO deplorable a manner, nut only in c•ur principles, which would be a were personal error, but in the traditions which up to the present moment all the Cabinets in France had con sid,red as a law entitled to respect." The Constitutionnel, after declaring that the entire world appears to denounce the culpable connivance of France with Austria in the affairs of Switzerland and Italy, says that M. GUIZOT had taken it into his head to open a conference in London on the subject of the affairs of Italy. " It was a means of appearing all but reconciled with England and at the same time of supporting the retro grade poiey of Austria. By the decisions which might result from such a congress, in which Austria, Russia, and France, by acting together could command a majo rity, the Pope would have ben arrested in his liberal career, and Italy would have lost something of its inde pendence, and its rights. But of what conseq tence was that ? M. Guizot would have gained time, have tri umphed by hip foreign successes over his domestic diffi culties, and have obtaitied an opportuniry of making pompous orations in the Chambers. What more does he require? But two difficulties arose. First, the Pope, notwithstanding the entreaties of M. Rissi, the French Ambassador at Rome, refused to trust to the decision of the majority of the Eun peen powers ; the alliance at present existing I , etwren Freke •and Austria aroused the su , picionsof his Holiness; and secondly, because the Goveroment, notwithstanding the propsition of the Ditlse de Broglie, refuted peremptorily to open a conference io London, where, according to M. Guizot, the Seise and Italian questions might be simultaneously discu•sed. The British Mini:t r did not c , ncal his reason for dechuing the proposition, which was, that the French Government had d livered list/if up to Austria." The Constilutionnel thus sums up the results of M. Guisiofs crooked and Jesuitical policy : • Tom is the point at which we have arrived. Such is the progress se have mane sicee the rupture of the British alliance by the marriages waicti have produced siren glorious Cali's in Spain. Olt the one hand, placed at the tail of Austria, we have already abandoned the iudepeitelence of Poland—defended at the tribune the murderers of Gallicia—encourats ' ed simultam ously Je suitism. anarchy, awl revolt in Switzerland, awl excited the just mistrust of Italian patriotism and of the Pope hims-lt. On the other hand, in place of protecting liberty throughout the world in concert with England, and W . hastening through this alliance well understood, the developrneet of civilzation, our Ministerial journal directs sanguinary sarcasms against the British nation, even on the occasion of the honourable manifestations of the Protestant press of England in favour of the vene rated chief of the Catholics, who has become the apostle of liberty in his states." New scandals and crimes are every day brought to light. The lady of a Deputy is said to have com mitted suicide, and a Peer of France, the son of one of the most renowned of the Marshals of the empire, had, it was sail, murdered his mistress on Monday night, avid effected his escape. Iu this case, however, we may hope that the unfortunate homicide was not accountable when he committed the dreadful deed with which he stands charged, inasmuch as he has frequently before, it is said, betrayed symptoms of insanity. The Droll has the following on the suicide of M. ALFRED DE MONTESQUIOU : j t e h c e ture advanta ges " M. Alfred de Montesquiou, who has committed suicide, was married to the daughter of General Peyron, was father of eight children, and in the enjoyment of all be t f ) ( f e. a e n d k of an t d b e fortune; fo t r h e t r h e e to f r a e ts no I acctolne have been in circulation,. but they are that they nullify each other .

At the same time, an :ncident which occurred 20 years ago has been revived. It was much talked of at the time. M. de Montesquiou, at a party at Prince P. zz di Bore's, lost at ecarti 1,000,80 W. But this sum was paid the next day by General Peyron, who had held a military command in India, in which he distinguished himself by his courage and ability." The Moniteur contains the following official an- nouncement : '• In the month of March last, the French brig the Deux Sosurs, being off the western coast of Africa, was, i.O the part of the English brig of war the Wanderer, the (i ct of a . chase, and subs..quently of a search, the obj, et of which was not only to verify its nationality by the examination of the ship's papers, but to ascertain the state of ' he vessel and the circumstances which might nave caused its navigation to be respected. Oil the re ports transmitted to the British Admiralty on the sub ject of this search, against which the captain of the Deux Saws protested, the English Government has re cognised that the conduct of the ochre - s 01 the Wanderer aiqs illegal and contrary to treaties.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was with out alteration, prices being steady. Sales 4,000 bales, of which 3,500 were American, at 61d. to lid. per lb. In Railway Shares there was a continued improvement, prices being higher, and the market firmer. By the arrival of the ship David Malcolm, at East bourne, we have accounts, of April 3, from South Austra:ia. Toe colony appears to have continuoii in a promperous condition, and upon a more solid liiundation than formerly. A vessel from England. the lialubokba, had taken out several guns of large calibre, ammunition, &c., for the defence of the colony, &c. As a symptom of progression, we may notice the fact, that a Royal Ex_ change was about to be established. Although, according to the accounts received this morning from the manufacturing districts, the demand for goods seems, likely to improve, we regret to hear o f the diminished employment for our operatives. At Pres tin alone eleven mills cave been enirrely stopped, anoth,r will be closed at the end of the week. six are workieg but four, and three mills only three days per week. It is evident that at the existing high price of the staple, ;the manufacturers can make uu remunera tive profits. The knotty point appears now to be finally settled, and it is supposed that about 50,0001. of bills drawn by Prime, Ward, and Co., will be returned under protest by the packet which leaves Liverpool on Saturday. Some anxiety is naturally felt for the result, both on account of the effect which may be produced at New York, and likewise of the extreme inconvenience that must be occasioned to the houses here which hold the bills. We trust they may be enabled to meet the dis appointment, though in times of pressure like these, it is no light matter. The Cowes shipping list reports rather numerous ar rivals of sugar from Bahia, &c. The sales of home-grown wheat in the provincial towns continue limited. In the uncertainty as to the course that may be pur sued by the Bank of EngianiVand the hope that the Money Market will become easier, the public securities assume to-day some indications of firmness, Consols hav ing reached 81 to 88. The political advices from abroad act unfavourably, however, and check operations for a rise. The present value of Consols is about 871 fur transfer, and 871 to 88 for account. Exchequer-bills have been 2s. to ss. premium ; The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 89 to 891. Bank Stock is 196. The business dons in Foreign Stocks has been more limited than ever. From Lisbon our accounts are still of an uufavour able character, and as to the state of affairs at Madrid few pretend to unravel it. The value of Portuguese Four per Cents. is merely nominal, at 24i to 25i ; and of Spanish Three per Cents. at 291 to 301 ; Mexican are about 19. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 551 to 56. Railway Shares are steady, but not so buoyant as at Averpool. 13111TiSii FUN DS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)
