Borough elections having proved so advantageous to the Liberal interests, by affording a triumphant majority to the Government candidates, the county elections have also proved, and are still proving, though in a lesser degree, beneficial to the Popular Party. Scarcely have the constituents in the Southern Divi sion of Lancashire given a decisive token of the cha racter of their commercial predilections, by return ing the Hon. CHARLES PELHAM VILLIERS, when a yet more brilliant testimony of gratitude toivarde the advocates of free trade is given by the nomina tion of Mr. COBDEN himself for the representation of the West Riding of Yorkshire. That this distinguished patriot should receive such a magnificent guarantee of the confidence with which he is regarded by the community is but just and rational. Whether Mr. COBDEN will coincide with the enthusiasm which has dictated this movement among his admirers remains a question of considerable uncertainty. The circumstance cannot however, in the ab stract, influence either the cause with which the name of the Hon. Member for Stockport is for ever associated, or the electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire, prejudicially. Indeed, were we to adopt the Machiavellian system of putting Mr. COBDEN'S personal feelings altogether out of the question, we should assuredly exult at an opportu nity so, peculiarly favourable to the diffusion of the vivifying and luminous principles of which the famous League has been the principal promulgator. While the absurdity, if nut the absolute atrocity, of the system of so-called protection to native industry is recognised by the population of c ont i nental Europe and the millions of the Western Hemisphere, it would be frivolous to deny that those, among our countrymen, who have been in any manner pledged to the maintenance or restoration of the re strictive duties against the importation of foreign grain and foreign merchandise ei ince no tendency whatever to an alteration in their opinions. their pre possessions are rendered yet more illusory and more fas cinating by being invested with a certain degree of political fanaticism. Their prejudices are rendered snore stubborn than ever in consequence of their re cent and ignominious discomfiture. In a way, the more obstinate supporters of protection are case-har dened in their ignorance. Their ideas upon political economy can only die away with their own generation. Another generation can never be inoculated with notions so 'prepostercasly obsol e t e , or so contrary to the revelations of experience. Thati is one consola tion in the midst of the confirmed darkness of our G Protectionist country men . Thank on. moral blindness is no more a h ere di tary affliction than physical blindness ! Persuaded, therefore, as we are, that o th f e con• vers ion of the more bigotted opponents t o commerce is a thing almost hopeless, free dom and decidedly chimerical, we are eqaally satisfied that it only requires the inc , t simple explanation of facts and the most com mon - place enumeration of figures to remove the scales of miser, prehension from the eyes of the more disinterested and unbiassed agriculturists. The nomination, con sequently, of such men as the Hon. Members for Stockport and Wolverhampton for the r e p resentation of Populous shires cannot but tend to dispel the errors which have hitherto obscured the judgments of our intelligent farmers. They will thereby be brought into immedia te, communication with those who have wisdo m imbibed the free trade from the eloquence of RICHARD C011 13E1 .. of and The collisi o n tetween their ancient misconceptions, the unanswerable logic of the enemies of Protection , s must n ecessar il y resu l t in the elucidation of truths comprehensible to the meanest capacity.

It were a fitting accompaniment to the national testimonial already collected for presentation to the latter gentleman to proffer him at the same moment the knighthood of a gigantic shire. That would be a splendid consumma tion to the memorable travels of RICHARD COBDEN ; it would be a welcome of suitable cordiality, after his enthusiastic reception in the courts and cities of France, Spain, Germany, and the Italian principali ties. It would Le a brilliant evidence, that if Europe can honour an Apostle of Civilisation, England can also honour a Patriot and a Benefactor. We have repeatedly directed the public attention to the suicidal policy adopted in Ireland during the pre paration for, and, in some instances, the progress of, the present elections in that country. Ultra-Tories, the most decided Conservatives, have been received without opposition ; nay, even with the approbation of the people ; while the most approved and tried friends of liberal opinions, those who have served during a series of years with ability, fidelity, and zeal, are, with scarcely an exception, held up to public odium, and subjected to all the expense and annoyances of a contest, and too often deserted by the constituencies, who should have felt honoured by the connexion. A difference on one question is considered an amply sufficient reason for a total oblivion of past services, and of the very many points on which there is an identity of feelings and sentiments. The late vener able patriot, the Liberator, who for so many years di rected the actions of his countrymen, would never have sanctioned so ridiculous a course, the only re sult of which must be a weakening of the popular party and an increase to the ranks of their most de cided opponents. A pamphlet of great power and ability has just appeared on this most important topic, entitled, " A Word in Season to the Liberal Electors of Ireland," by a Graduate of the Irish University, which should receive an attentive perusal and the most serious consideration of every member of the class to whom it is addressed, before he shall finally decide on the manner in which he shall exercise his most important privilege " the elective franchise"— a privilege which may not again be conceded to him for many years, and until after the questions of the deepest interest, the most vital importance to the welfare of his country, shall have been finally disposed of. He may bitterly lament the error into which he has been led by a feeling of temporary irritation, but the opportunity, once thrown away, can never be recalled. He inay find that the representative whom in a moment of pique he helped to return, may record his votes on every great question in opposition to his feelings and wishes, but he will only have himself to blame, and must remain, until a future election shall afford him an opportunity of retracing his footsteps, a political nonentity, or, even worse, a practical oppo nent of his country's rights. The talented writer of the address to which we have alluded has well exposed this absurdity. He says— "A political leader is not justified in directing all the energies of a people towards the attainment of an ob ject, either of doubtful possibility or remote success, in such a manner as to be injurious during the conti nuance of the struggle, and, in the event of failure, to leave them in a condition far worse than that in which they originally were, and incapable of any effort to redeem them selves. This is gambling with the interests of the country, and perhaps few higher tributes can be paid to the memory of O'CONNELL than that throughout his entire career, with many temptations to pursue it, he never was allured into this dangerous, though very popular policy. His uniform course seems to have been, while directing his efforts to one ultimate object, to take care that the means he employed should not be prejudicial to his country, and to neglect no intermediate advantages he could procure for her, but, on the contrary, seize every opportunity of acquiring them." Would that the present leaders of the Irish people—the children and friends of that illustrious patriot—were guided and influenced by similar sentiments ; then, indeed he would be spared the pain of witnessing Ireland's ingratitude to some of her most worthy children. The late rejection of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill brought forward by Mr. WATsoN, Q.C., a rejection chiefly to be attri buted to the unrelenting hostility of many Members of tire Irish party, as it is termed, is well commented on. "An English barrister (says the writer) pro poses to erase from the statute-book certain obsolete laws, imposing pains and penalties on persons pro fessing the Roman Catholic religion. Those laws are obsolete, because the spirit of the age would not suffer their execution ; and education and enlight ment have shown the injustice and absurdity of them. By one of them, the man who conferred the blessings of temperance upon Ireland, and who has just been honoured with a pension from the Crown, is liable to transportation, yet members of the Irish party, who were all for Ireland, without distinction of po litics or religion, could not afford to let this humble priest walk independent of this law. The represen tative's of the metropolis, and the University of that country, fur whose benefit they proposed to forget all distinctions, made common cause with their tolerant companions, and defeated the objects of this liberal stranger. They retained a power which they never can u-e. To quote the language of the Irish orator, they showed their teeth, but they were too loose to bite." And yet that liberal stranger-- the man who sought to abolish these atrocious enact ments, and who earned golden opinions for himself during the period of his Parliamentary career—is to be opposed in the Irish borough for which he had been returned by a high Conservative. And if re jected it will be owing to the apathy, or, still worse, the hostility of those from whom he endeavoured to strike off the sole remaining shackles to elevate them to perfect religious freedom, and to remove every dis• ability and stigma. The conduct of the Whig party of the present Liberal Government is shown to be such, in every particular, as should have earned the warmest gratitude of the people. It is impossible to withhold your assent from the evidences thereof put forward by " the Graduate" in the most eloquent and energetic lan guage. Ills observations on the New Irish Poor law, by which " the present Government were boll and manly enough to go to the root of the evil," and which he designates as " the Bill of Rights of the Irish people," are deserving of the highest approba tion for th e soun d ness of the views put forward. We deeply regret that our space does not at present permit a further notice of this admirable address. We cannot, howaver, refrain from again quoting his opinions in reference to a possible opposition to the re-election of the Master of the Mint, an opposition which was then only meditated, but which has actually since taken place: He says— " Suppose, for instance, that the electors of Dungarvar, should discard—air some one who calls himself a nation alist, and who may be useful to make or count out a house—the brilliant advocate of their liberty, the fellow labourer and associate of their illustrious leader, to yet paid funeral honours, do you twhheinokgmatvlheieey)h'wi have his cl not youth ad vanceand histheir elo c ci a u us e e ne by t s o uc t h he a . n g a r e e t: Ht struggle with which his name is associated ; and as an Irish Catholic in the English Cabinet, he is, at once, a brilliant trophy of their victory, and a convincing proof that they deserved it. Aud if men desire rationally to spread the doctrine thas Irishmen alone should legislate on Irish matters, do they hope to do so, at a time when three English Members do not agree with them, by forcing into a prtoote .totion their countryman, who commands the admiration of the Senate, and reflects honour upon them ? I trust the constituents or this Right Hon. Gentle nurtns'tr7vho are justly proud of their representative, will of you who are i i t heraselves this dishonour. But those Whigs. Yes ; but it al es o ru u sg du feasyt ' object, that if you par• sue the course which you will be practically I n o o u t r y s o a u ve w s il f l ro b m e practically sustaining Tories. You eamiut p revent one or the other." The Austrian Cabinet has addressed Pontifical Government, in whichit - s a note to the in the event of any disturbances in the declareded in that, of the Church remaining unr e p ressed, or 'i°ll3 being unpunizhed , Austri a would cons ider crimes the Pop } , incapable of ;naintaining order in his States, and feel 'it her duty to interfere. An Austrian array of observation of twenty thou sand men is to take up a position at Como, a f ew leagues from Milan. The troops will be drawn from the interior of Austria, in order that the army of Italy may not be weakened. General RADETSKY, Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian army in Lom bardy, had been empowered to act according to cir aumatance.s. It was reported that Cardinal FEER.Em ,hadb ill cr-nzqu(a.ace of that a;:tificaticzt cr iz r e'd t11:' LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7, 1847. his devotion to the Absolutist Powers. Even if it were true that the lady had been actuated solely by political motives in visiting one of the Polish prisoners, what danger could there be for Russia, Austria, and Prussia, in the visit of a woman to a prisoner? Was it absolutely necessary for the Minister to act the part of spy for the Holy Alliance ? But after the affair of Cracow it is not a matter of surprise that having abandoned the cause, he should betray its supporters." The Echo Agricole states that the declaration of M. DELESSEAT, the Prefect of Police, in the Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, that it was the determination of the Government not to suffer any of the flour stored in the granaries of reserve to be withdrawn for consumption, had the effect of causing a rise in the price of wheat and flour in the Paris corn-mark: t on Wednesday.

In The Sun of 'Thursday a case was reported from this Court, in which heed, a constable of the H division, No. 199, charged a girl named Mary Ann Parkins with being drunk and fighting in the streets. The charge was disproved, and the girl dismissed. She, however, made a serious counter charge against the constable, which, it will be remembered, the Magistrate directed should be thoroughly investigated. As M.-. Ballantine was leaving the bench yesterd-my, Inspector Scott handed him his report, the result of which was that this morning the inspector was directed (no charge having been laid in a formal way before the Magistrate) to proc, ed to Scotland-yard and la y the affair before the Commissioners. Tt.e result of the in spector's inquiry fully confirms the report in The Sun of Thursday. It appears that a similar charge was preferred against this very constable ab , ut a twrivemonth since. CLERKEN WELL.—( T HIS DAY.) Thomas Freeman .as charged with stealing a watch • from the house ut John Forrest. The prosecutor's daughter Mated that the watch was hanging over the mantel-shelf' in the parlour, and she left the room for the purpose of going up stairs, the hall door being open at ;he time, when the prisoner, whom .he had observed lucking about the premises fur nearly two hours, and whom she saw look through a window from which he could see the watch, rushed in and snatched the watch from where it was hanging, and ran away as fast as he could. The prosecutor having described the watch. Mr. Allen, the landlord of the Prince of Wal , 8, Barnsbury-park, Islington, stated that the prisoner came into his house in about half an hour after the robbery had been corn witted, and exhibited a watch which corresponded in every respect with that described by the prosecutor. The policeman said he was unable to trace the watch as yet, and in consequence the prisoner was remanded. Swiss regiments, and all the troops disposable, to march towards the northern frontier. Troubles have, it is said, broken out at Cosenza, in Naples, and the KING has dispatched a powerful body of troops under General STATELLA, against the insurgents. It was said that Colonel GARIBALDI, commander of the Italian legion at Monte Video, had arrived on the coast of Sicily, in an English vessel, with three hundred men. A letter from Warsaw of the 22d ult., in the Suabian Mercury, says— " Accounts from the interior of Russa confirm the reports of the defeats sustained by the Russians in the Caucasus. At the assault of Gerbegil, the Russians had 1 700 killed and wounded, of whom 83 w' re officers. On the return. a detachment of Colonel Jewdokinoff's corps fell into an ambuscade of Lesghiens, and lost five officers and 140 men. Soon alter the retreat of the Russians, numerous detachments of Tschetscherzes and Lesghiens appeared in the Koissu and the Slick, threa tening tne Russian line, and spreading terror and d, vas tation among the tribes which are friendly to the inva ders. Since these successes the name of Schamyl is held in still higher. honour than ever. The whale of Tschetschno is in motion, and it appears that Schamyl is meditating a still more important enterprise against the Russians. Prince %Voronzow was making preparations for not only repelling the enemy. but al.o to renew the siege of Ger gebil. Every sacrifice will be made to destroy the place, and remove the impression which the retreat of the Russians has produced among the neutral tribes. But, as the cholera is making great ravages, it will be hardly possible to undertake any important expedition. On the right wing, the Übisches and the Tschigetcs had several times assaulted the forts of Gagra and Pitzinka. It is said that the first has fallen into their hands. In consequence, the Commander-in-Chief has reinforced the right wing. The marching of troops from the interior has been suspended on account of the cholera." We read in a letter from Berlin of the Ist inst.-- " Within the last few days the witnesses have arrived who will be heard in the case of the Polish insurrection, the trial of which will commence to-morrow morning. These witnesses are about eleven hundred in number, and all have been brought to Berlin at the expense of the Government, either by the railways or other public conveyances. Immediately on their arrival in our capital they went to the office expressly established, to make known their names and their residence at Berlin, and there they were repaid the cost ot their maintenance during the journey, such cost being determined according to their respective social positions. For the last class ot witnesses, composed of simple peasanis, workmen, day labourers, domestics, &c., the allow. ante was fixed at 20 silver gros (2f. 40c,) per day, The greatest part of the witnesses below , to the rural districts of the Grand Duchy of Posen, of Silesia, and of Western Prussia. They never before left their villages, aid only know how to speak their Polish, Silesian, and other dialects. They find themselves entirely displaced in our capital, in which they do not cease to excite the curiosity of the public by their costumes, language, and manners. The Government has caused new linen and clothing to be given to all the indigent prisoners who will figure in the trial, in order that they may present themselves decently before justice. It has also caused them to receive medical attention. During the whole of their stay in the Pennsylvanian prison they have been made to take baths every week, and the food given to them has been both good and abundant. The wealthy pri. soners have lived with princely luxury, and all have taken measures to be dressed with the greatest elegance dur ing the trial, which will last three months at least. M. Louis de Miroslawski, one of the chiefs of the insurrec tion, had the intention of defending himself, and to do it in the French language ; but, on the advice of his frienth, he has abandoned this project, and has just made choice of a young and clever advocate, Doctor Meyer, of Berlin." A letter from Stutgard states that the second and and last portion of the loan of eleven millions of thalers (forty-four millions of francs), at four and-a half per cent. interest, which the Chambers authorised the Government of Wurtemberg to contract, and which amounts to six millions of thalers, has been negotiated with the houses of Rornscumu, of Frank fort, and of FEDDERS, BENEDICT, and STAHL, of Stutgard, at the rate of 98 per 100. Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have arrived. The QUEEN, accompanied by Generals SEREANO, Ros DE OLANO, DOMINGUEZ, and other distinguished persons, left La Granja on the 29th for Biofrio. Her MAJESTY will return to La Granja shortly, when the POPE'S NUtlelo, Monsignor BRUNELLI, will be so lemnly presented. The Duke of GLUCKSBURG, the French Ambassador, has left Madrid for La Granja. An action took place in Catalonia on the 23d be tween the QUEEN'S troops and the Carlist bands of MARSHAL, HERRERO, and others. Several Carlists were captured. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 31.—The Three per Cents. were done at 261- fur cash ; the Five per Cents. at 174; the Debt without Interest at si; and the Coupons at -14 We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday. On Wednesday Baron CHARLES DUPIN laid on the table of the Chamber of Peers the report on the Bill for granting an extraordinary supply for the ser vice of Algeria. A resume of this report is published in the Journal des Debats, frDin which it appears that the port and fortifications of Algier., have been greatly improved by works, which have tripled the extent of Algiers, and have substituted for the an cient fortifications a continuous wall two miles long, protected by bastions. The improvement of the port of Algiers occupies a prominent part in the report. In place of a small harbour, covering a superficies of from ten to twelve acres, which was sufficient for the Algerine corsairs, the jetty constructed by the French engineers affords an anchorage ground extending over fifty acres, and which, when completed, will enclose 250 acres, sufficient for the purposes of a considerable fleet. Oran and the great port of Mers-el-Kebir are then described. Next are mentioned the number of roads opened and bridges constructed, together with the lighthouses and tele graphs erected. The report states that twelve years since there were but 11,000 colonists in Algeria. There are now 110,C00. Of these 17,000 are armed as militiamen. By these means, should the entire regular army be engaged in campaign, Algiers can protect itself by its national guard, The report ob serves, that during the first years of the French oc cupation the colony resembled Rome before the rape of the Sabine women. There were scarcely any. Eu ropean women or children there. At present the European population numbers twenty-five thousand woman and forty-two thousand children. The re port concludes by stating, that of the children of the Algerine population, 4,000 males and females, in equal proportions, are educated in schools established by the French authorities. file Sisters of Charity have, moreover, established a dispensary at Constan tine, where they distribute, gratis, medicines to the indigent Arabs. They even dress the wounds of the poor natives. Their reputation for benevolence has extended to the confines of the desert, and the dis tressed Arabs come a long distance to implore their aid. The sisters of Charity afford relief, on an average, to 100 a day, or more than 36,000 a year. The report recommends that the supply demanded by the Government be granted. The Chamber of Peers voted the ,budget of expen diture on Wednesday by a majority of 105 to 13. M. TUJA, a Conservative; has resigned the office he held of Councillor and Secretary-General of the department of the Haute Loire, because " shameless nepotism, corruption, venality, rapine, are every where; the public fortune is abandoned to shameless waste, and the consideration and honour of the coun try are degraded in the most. deplorable manner." The .Presse says that every effort was made to pre vent M. TUJA from resigning his office. Senor OLOZAGA and Mr. HENRY SOUTHERN, the Secretary to the English Legation at Lisbon, passed through Bayonne, en route for London, on the 2d instant. The German Journal of Frankfort has the follow ing from Berlin, dated the 28th ult.:—" M. GUIZOT lately called the attention of the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs to a Polish lady, who, in the in terest of the Polish propaganda, intended to pro ceed from Paris to Berlin to communicate with one of the Poles about to be tried. The Minister for warded this information to the tribunal, and it was ascertained that M. GUIZOT really keeps a vigilant itye upon the Poles in Paris. The lady did arrive in Berlin, and went to the prison to speak to the Pole in question, but she was refused admittance, and there fore returned immediately to Paris." The Constilutionnel, after quoting the above from the German journal, remarks— " If this is a fact it will greatly increase the esteem with which our Ministry is regarded, and which it merits so well. The narrative of the Journal of -Frankfort is too precise to admit of any doubt of the Cabinet having given this new proof of its title to that consideration which no one refuses to it.

Major Cu eirar ; Cuppage, and Captain Tylden. Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General, Royal Artil lery. The ceremony of parading the troop s for guard tnouuting during the day was taking place when the Prince Louis Napoleon and Prince Jerome arrived, and they remained to witness the large detachment for duty in the Riyal Arsenal march from the garrison to that depot, headed by the band of the regiment. The visitors then proceeded to the Royal Military Repository grounds, and occupied upwards of an hour in witnessing the models of fortifications in various quarters of the world, the Royal Dockyards in this country, and almost every description of British and foreign arms used since the introduction of warlike instruments for aggression, or the protection of countries from hostile invaders. Shortly after eleven o'clock the Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Strangways, the right troop under Captain Warde, the centre troop under Captain Lake, and the left troop under Captain Grant, with Captain and Adjutant Gilbert, assembled on the common, and the Princes on their arrival on the common rode down the front and up the rear of' the troops, and afterwards witnessed them march past and at trot and full gallop, which they did with great precision. Thew then went through the evolu tions of a field-day with excellent effect. At half past twelve o'clock the visitors proceeded to the Royal Horse Artillery-square in the Garrison, and witnessed the accommodation for the men and horses of that branch of the service. A very great improvement has recently been made in the square, which will afford a greater degree of room far the horses should an additional num ber be required. This has been effected by the con struction ,f spacious balconies, with comma dious and easy ascents, from the north and south sides of the square to the rooms of the men, and dispensing with the numerous staircases which acre formerly inside the buildings betwixt ach stable. From the Kuyal Horse Artillery-square the Prince proceeded to the mess room i-f the Kov al Artillery, where an elegant deieumer was laid out tor the visitors, the band of the regiment play ing *. Napoleon le Grand" on the arrival and depar ture of the Prince. At a quarter before two o'clock the Princes proceeded to the grand depot, and was conducted over it by Major-General J. Web'eer Smith, C.B. On arrival at the lto)al Arsrnal, the Prince was conductedo l ;er the foundry department by Lieu tenant-Colonel und", C. 8., and witnested all the operations in pro gress. The visit of the Princes occupied until ten mi nutes to four ' e clock P.m., when they thanked the offi cers who attended them, and retur-ed to town. DEATH OF CAPTAIN ALLAN STEWART.—This gentleman, the representative of the Ste warts of A pp lin, in Argyleshire, died on the 6th ult. lie entered the army in 1805, and was one of the survivors of the Penin sular and Waterloo) cam pa iens.

CITY, QUA ER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterlay was very quiet. Sales, 4,000 bales, making 29,970 for the week. Railway Shares were flat, with a considerable quantity of Stock still rressing upon the market. The features in the Bank of England statement of lia bilities and assets for the week, to the 31st ult., are these : Notes issued Decrease 452,225 Rest, increase Public deposits Increase 293 Other deposits, decrease Seven day and other bills, decrease 30,621 Notes reserved, decrease Bullion . Decrease Active circulation 18,892,250 I.:ecreaw 10,455 Any one glancing at the se items will no longer be at a loss to unravel the doings of the last few days. The quantity of bullion drawn from the Bank, the increasing mand for discounts, and the necessity of using some amount of the unemployed notes, was sufficient to excite the vigilance of the Bank directors, and the return made up to last evening will, no doubt, show the further action of the same causes. The exchanges yesterday were a shade better, the demand for bills being limited by the want of money. The Pulltc Securities have been somewhat firmer to day, Consols having opened at 864 j, and being now about 87 for time.

The nomination of candidate 3 for the honour of re presenting the frf•eholders of the Isle of Wight, took place at the Guildhall, Newport, at eleven o'clock this day. The friends or Mr. Fleming. the good old Tory candidate, came in by the Shide road, a goodly muster of 50/. renters and faggot freeholdels. The friends of Mr. Simeon formed at the Bugle Inn. The Hon. W. A. A-Court Holmes proposed Mr. John Simeon; the Hon. A. Moreton seconded him.

The people of our good town are anything but in a good humour with each other. NE WPOR 1' ISLE OF WIGHT, BOROUGH ELECTION. RELIGIOUS INToLERANCE —The Tories carried their men by the " No Popery" cry, many of the Dissenters supporting them, and others refusing to vote for parties favourable to the Maynooth grant. This uncharitable and anti-Christian feeling gave the Tories a majority of votes, and has caused serious ill-feeling among the Libe ral. ; every other consideration was sunk. The d..ar loaf, so much c. ,mplained of—and free trade, considered so desirable—were thrown overboard, and the supporter of protection was placed at the head of the poll by the as sistance of free traders. The second act will commence• on Monday next, by which time, we hope, these mad men will have come to their senses. PERILS OF REPORTERS.—An accident, which might have terminated fatally, occurred this evening to the reporter of the Morning Herald, in his anxiety to for ward his report of the county notrination this day. He took a boat to catch the steamers, but in getting on board he missed his hold, and fell overboard. Fortu nately he caught a stray line and was by it hauled on board the steamer.

Simmons, Windmill-street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth. Mr. Simmons carries on the trade of Lucifer match manufacturer. It appeared that the fire origi nated in the workshop, and was occasioned by a work boy, who accidentally let fall a matchbox upon some ignitable materials, which instantly took fire, and com municated the Limes to the other combustibles in the room. The West of England engine was almost im mediately on the spot, and a plentiful supply of water having been obtained, the devouring element was pre vented from extending its ravages beyond the premises where it originated, which, to ge th er w i t h t h e property they contained, were entirely de s t ro y e d. W o under stand that Mr. Simmons is not insured. Mr. Grainger, M.P. for Hull, hus been appointed to the vacant Recordership of the town. BRISTOL.—QUICK.

FLANDERS and HAMBUGH BERLIN, JULY 20 —Mr. C. bden, who is now here, has had the honour of an audience of his Majesty, and an interview eith the Prince of Prussia. A grand fête will be given to this illustrious free trader in the gard"6 of Kroll, on Saturday- next. It is not improbable that the presence of Mr. Cobden at Berlin may hasten the moment for taking a definite decision in regard to commercial legislation. BERLIN, AUGUST I.—Mr. Cobden, on his ratura from Sans Souci yesterday, whither he had gone b 7 t he express invitation from his Majesty, proceeded to entertainment which was given by the friends of free trade in the Mielentz Hal', at which upwards of 200 per. , sons were present. Several of the civil magistrates, pro fessors, and members of the universities were presents A number of toasts were given in honour of Cobden and free trade, and appropriate speeches were de livered. Some of these were in English. After the health of the burgomaster, Nann vn, was drunk, the company se patatedt at nearly 12 O'Co'clo ck. FßOM THE ELBE, JULY 24.—A letter from Paris re' presents the dislike of the King of the Belgians to o°' vernment affairs, as rather increasing than decrea sin g • and speaks of the delicate position in which Englan d would be plac.d, in regard to France, in the possi event of an abdication, when she could not possiblf avoid paying greater attention than heretofore to the public post 'ion of the Belgians, as the state of th e sing of the eletherlan.fs, bears a most striking resem blance ' at least in its etf, , cts, to that of King Leopold , is we, known. In dee Hague, however, the talk is not of air dication, though reports are in circulation that ble a provi' sional regence w'.ll be immediately established. It singular that in these reports the name of the Prince 0 Orange has not been mentioned. The name of the King's bro her only has been brought forsvard , confirmation with a possible or probable regen,it If the natural relation of the Prince of Orange shall u: umegarded, this would appear to us as a very rem able irregularity. A special commission has lately been sent from flit; burg to Vienna tor the purpose of negotiating with - Austrian Government that the Hamburg letters arriving in Trieste from India shall be sorted from the other la° ters in that lee - hour, and sent at once to Hamburg vitst Vienna and Berlin. Austria, we are informed , was h ° opposed to this wish, but merely expressed the doubt e.s t to whether England would agree to this, as she maks ih e a positive point that the Indian ma il panes n Germany unopened. It is not yet known what decisio England has come tip, but we have every reason to WV thatehe has granted, or shortly will grant, this I'6o°ll- throng able request. FROM THE VILS , JULY.—IS it true that England tends to fortify the German island of 'Heligoland ? . 4 "'" it true that she intends to throw a noose round our P", ll i . cipal rivers, in order that she may close them tightlYal This is the painful cry which re echoes throughout Ger; many. Will the German Princes—will the Ge r112 ., 6 1 nation tolerate this indignity ? No, never ! Holstein could cede the island of Heligoland to Beg's' ; it is impossible she should give up the fortress to foreign nation. Ail Germany would have mutually Or posed it, arid will now, with diplomatic weapons, w h i c ,V • stand such an insulf to our independence. Yet is I ' m-6 not a far more invincible and invulnerable fortreats; which can at any time render the same eer vice eeie b any foreign Power us Heligoland, and is there more hostile to G, many tlian that island ? Are tiler not naval fortresses of ships of the line and fr i g ate : which may at any time blockade our coasts, wbiletts, possess not the remotest power to hinder them ? n o not Germany which once withstood kings by set 4 t e e become a mere cypher—a sport of every danger? lt. Russia, which at that time possessed not a single aolf; now close all the ports of Germany, whereas we I T & stand in Russia's former position? Who will gust il t ee that the policy of that country, which, be it ren a nn yl; bered depends upon one human being, may act n n t )t iribo in secret, but take an open posture of defiance ? ,„ . 0 $ will guarantee that Russia,England, and France wil d o ne combine against Germany, as other nations have m."O against Poland ? Where will be our seeti riS l ee sal such a conjuncture if we do not cherish our nat' — t o affairs better than hitherto ; if we do ii° t ale unanimously in questions which are purely eationited Nothing will then be our security, for we have negl ec le easy our selt- preservation. Therefore, let England it3rteie Heligoland, but let us at the same time acquire In for destroying that fortification so SOOO as it jet deavours to act hostilely towards ourselves. de us found a navy which will protect our dtraos and our independence ; for so long as We n e, possess this we are a nation like the Cht,ll,,r, helpless, and despised abroad. May the threaten tification • tification of Heligoland be the spur to Gerlnsni ee , in; unanimous, active exertion—to national organeee t ee en and always threatening our weakness remind us 01 - ere/ of unity. Therefore, hail to England, that she 00 openly declared herself our enemy, and thus g ive Ai the means fi,r a mighty national impetus.
