The most brilliant of our living Essayists remarks in his inimitable criticism upon " Some Statesmen, who have written Verses," that the present Adminis- tration is, perhaps, the most literary of any of the Governments to whose wisdom the destinies of Eng land have been committed. Therefore it is, that we have been sanguine in anticipating from the mem bers of this Literary Cabinet that encouragement of our National Literature, which circumstances have of late so imperatively demanded. We have looked with confidence for Ministerial assistance to such living writers as have been undeservedly unfortunate and fur official interposition wherever the mementoes of bygone geniuses have been threatened with dese cration or destruction. That we have not altogether been disappointed in our anticipations is shown the different pensions awarded by the munificence ot the Administration since Lord J. RUSSELL was sum moned to the direction of aff iirs. When the orphar. of T. HOOD an i the widow of T. CHALML.RS are not overlooked, and when the declining years of LEIGEC HUNT are relieved from anxieties of a pecu niary character, we have no reason to complain of the indifference of our rulers to those who have adorned our literature with the breathings of their philosophy. the music of their eloquence, and the splendours of their poetic creations. An interesting occasion elicited from the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, on IVednesday evening, certain observations, which will not be considered lightly by the people of these islands. Despite the pressure of political excitement consequent upon a general election, there has been anything but a manifestation of indifference at the sale of SFIAIESPERE'S birthplace, at Stratford-upon- Avon. Now that those elections are completed, and that that excitement is abated, it is not very probable that an allusion to the home of the infant SRARSPERE from the lips of Lord MORPETTI will be listened to in careless negligence by the thousands who venerate the memory of our matchless bard. In making the allusion to which we allude the Noble Viscount seemed to avail himself of an opportunity for which he had long tarried. The occasion he selected was in truth -most appropriate—it was on the laying of the foundation-stone of the Sheffield Athenaeum and Mechanics' Institution by the Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY ; and the exordium by which the Noble Lord's allusion was introduced was no less appropriate than the occasion—being a panegyric upon the advantages accruing to an in dustrious community from the intellectual cultivation of its youth. After expressing a hope that the fore most attention of the members of the Sheffield Athe naeum would be directed to those studies and objects which are most important for advancing the real, moral, political, and social improvement of the mul titude, Lord MORPETLI remarked that it would be judicious to combine with those investigations some attention to the higher walks of elegant ac complishments and graceful literature because, said he, " the cultivation of a taste for art, poetry, and music tend so much not only to relax, but to re fine the human mind." That is a recommendation which would scarcely have been comprehended by the obtuse conservatism of our ancestors, by that respectable old Toryism that regarded a merchant's clerk as not more worthy of care or embellishment than a calculating machine, that looked upon the artizan merely as an instrument made to saw, and hammer, and so forth, and viewed an agricultural labourer as a machine ot a value scarcely equivalent to that of a sub-soil plow4h, and possessing the additional blemish of re quiring food for deglutition. Nobler ideas have since then become prevalent, and statesmen aspire, in these our days, not only to insure quietude and plenty, but to purify the mor and arouse the dormant intellects of the hind and the journeyman. They no longer regard the aggregate mind of the nation as a spiritual microcosm, not more worthy of examination and en largement than the sliding-glasses of a raree - s h ow , or the orifice of a phantasmagoria. The mental specu lations of Governments are gradually becoming as exoteric in purpose as they were formerly esoteric in principle. That some such change has affected the administration of these islands is manifested by the language addressed on Wednesday to the inhabi tants of Sheffield by the Noble Viscount the Chief Commissioner of the Woods and Forests. During the course of his very animated address Lord MOR ?ETU illustrated, by a Grecian myth, the utility and necessity of combining with bodily industry the charms of intellectual loveliness. " Those of you," he said, "who have the opportunity of consulting the old legends and classical mythology are aware that among the fancied deities with which they peopled their world, one more especially was regarded as the god of labour, and of handicraft, VULCAN by name, who was always represented as employed in huge smithies and workshops, hammerirg huge an vils, blowing huge bellows, heating vast furnaces, and begrimmed with s oo t an d d irt. W el l , ladies. and gentlemen, for this hard-working and swarthy-looking divinity they wished to pick out a w if e . A n d t h ey did not select for him a drab --not a pers on , taken herself from the sc u ll ery o r kitchen dresser, but they chose for him VENUS, the g oddess of lov e and beauty. N o w, what is t he es p ecial meaning of the marriage of VULCAN with VENUS—of the hard-working arti ficer with the laughter -loving queen..-of labour with beauty ? What is it, ladies and gentlemen, but this, that even in a busy hive of industry and toil like this, even here, upon a spot which is in many respects no inapt representator of the fabled workshop of VoLcaN, even here, amid the clang of anvils, the roar of bellows, and the sputtering of forges—even here, Amid stunning sounds and sooty blackness, the mind —untrammelled mind—may go forth, may pierce the dna atmosphere which is poised around us, may wing its way to the freer air and purer light which are beyond, and may ally itself with all that is most fair, genial, and lovely in creation." Let that great truth, so exquisitely and nobly enune elated, be to all a proof that statesmen are becomin g alive to the advisability of enlargi ng the field of po pular education, and teaching the masses somethin g u than great A and symmetrical potho o k s . It was after the declaration of this ennobli ng truth that lArd Manus ;viewed to the efreite which a>ce .... _ , -It , - • i , .: ...c , --- , _......,..- c , r ,„ --e-- • ... ~.. „ . .,. ,,,,, 3 1 01.;. ..,:.... -.•-- .., - .0...up, , , , rA....•; , ... c.,- _ lust now being made to render the birthplace of SHAKSPERE the property of the nation in perpetuity. Lord MORPETH commended those exertions —could be to otherwise ? And he applauded those who would ireserve from sacrilege the shrine and the home of the -he Poet of Poets after pronouncing his own feelings ,f veneration in these emphatic syllables :—" I say that a man may almost be said to be above the world who possesses his Bible and his Shahspere—his Shakspere for his leisure—his Bible for all time!" [t is not, however, to any panegyric upon WILLIAM SHASSPERE that we would so much direct attention, is it is to a practical suggestion made by the noble speaker in regard to the subscriptions now set on oot for the purchase of the butcher's stall in a litile , illpge in Warwickshire. "In pursuit of such an 'dject as this," said Lord MORPETH, " permit me to vay that Ido not see why the members of the Sheffield Mechanics' Institution, and of every Mechanics' Insti ',llion in the country, should not resolve to give some tittle token—sixpence or a shilling per head, to mark thew sense of the greatest genius which ever adorned S'aglish literature." Surely that recommendation will not have been given to no purpose ? Besides this admirable sug gestion, the Noble Viscount made an evident allusion to the unmerited neglect of JAMES SHERIDAN KNOWLES. From this harangue we would augur happily, and already, in anticipation, see SHERIDAN KNOWLES established at Stratford-upon-Avon as the worthiest guardian of the home of SHARSPERE that could be appointed by the voice of a loving people. The address of the Earl of DUNDONALD to the Elective Peers of Scotland, in offering himself as a candidate for their suffrages at the ensuing election at Holyrood House, will, we trust, be responded to in a manner worthy of the gallant veteran himself, and of the ancient nobility of which he is a member. Few men have distinguished themselves more bril liantly than he has done is a service where daring -xploits and unflinching bravery were the character ' istics of all. Few men have better deserved the thanks and gratitude of their country, and few have suffered more deeply from the effects of an unjust accusation, ascribing guilt of a sordid and degrading character, the most inconsistent with and opposed to every feel ing and sentiment of the high-minded and disinterested sailor. The Earl of DUNDONALD was a sincere and zealous Reformer at a time when to avow such doc trines was to become the object of every species of contumely and reproach—to expose yourself to every description of annoyance that could be inflicted legally or illegally—by public prosecutions or private persecutions. Advantage was taken of circumstance 3 inducing a suspicion, which every act of his life luring a career of the utmost brilliancy and the most effective service should have been sufficient to rebut, and he was brought to trial before a political judge and a political jury, deeply prejudiced and in flamed against the accused. We shall not now comment )n the circumstances of that trial. There is little prospect of our again witnessing a similar case. Suffice it to say, that the jury (possibly led astray by he extreme virulence of the judge's charge, and for ;etful of the benign principle of the British law, that t was better that ninety-nine guilty should escape nan that one innocent person should be unjustly -onvicted,) to their eternal disgrace found the gallant ,Nicer guilty of having promulgated false reports for me purpose of influencing the public funds; and the 9reAding judge, not contented with pronouncing a ,entente of twelve months' imprisonment and t fine of one thousand pounds, dared to sen tence a captain in the British navy—a !C.r.ight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, a mbleman of unblemished lineage, the representative ,f an ancient name, and the heir-apparent to an :arldom—to the most infamous and ignominious pu ,ishment known to the law. Yes, Lord ELLENBO.• ROUGH had the brutality to order that Lord Cocn a tNe, a man looked on and regarded as a second NELSON, should be exposed on the vile pillory--a :entente more disgraceful to the judge who pro- Jounced it than to the nobleman on whom it was ordered to be inflicted. The latter part of the judg ment could no., of course, be carried into execution. The public were literally astounded ; and, even then, no Minister dared to brave the voice of public opinion. Many amiable and distinguished men re fused to credit the charge, and unhesitatingly and openly denounced the verdict of the jury as un founded in fact, and unwarranted by the evidence ; and his colleague, in the representa tion of Westminster, Sir FRANCIS BUR.. DETT, in a spirit of enthusiasm worthy of immortal honour, declared that he would partici pate in the punishment and appear on the pillory with the deeply injured and unjustly condemned gentleman. That part, therefore, was remitted, nominally in m,rcy to the prisoner, but really because the authorities dared not encounter the tumult that would have been inevitably occasioned ; but the im prisonment was sustained, and the fine enforced, and he innocent victim was deprived of his rank in the ,ervice, and struck from the list of the British navy, of which he was one of the brightest ornaments, and degraded from the knighthood he had won by ex ploits unsurpassed in the annals of his country, and his banner ignominiously torn from its assigned position in Henry's Chapel. Few, indeed, could have stood against such a series .)f persecutions ; but Lord DUNDON ALD was sustained by the pride of conscious innocence, and animated by an indomitable spirit. Although stricken to the heart by the stigma affixed on his time-honoured name, he bore the inflictions with meekness and pa tience, resolved to redeem his character by every exertion and energy, and to enforce a universal ac knowledgment of the gross and unmerited injuries he had endured. The arms rejected by his ungrate ful country he bore to other climes ; his services were ever rendered to the sacred cause of freedom, and, like the anciert Grecian warrior, although virtually ostracised, he acquired undying glory, and caused his name to be hailed and reverenced as the benefactor of a liberated people. But still, not withstanding all his fame and all his honours, he bore the barbed arrow in his side ; there was a grief preying on his heart which no distinction could as -nage. He was still regarded as a criminal, or at least his wrongs were unredressed, and he was ex cluded from the service of his country, a country loved not the less devotedly and sincerely, although he had been the victim of oppression. He was, however, spared to witness the full recog of his the restoration nition innocence, of all his honours. The people, the Legislature ; and h h ia Roy a l Mi s t ress , i n turn, h a il e d t h e excu l pate d nameero. His confidence in plactehde people, inour naval and lists, inspire strike terror into foes. Again he was authorised to bear the insignia of the Bath upon his breast, and his innocence, his wrongs, acknowledged and lamented in Parliament, disseminated on the wings of the Press through every part of the empire, and responded to by a people actuated by a singular and wonderful unanimity, were no longer doubted or controverted. Even party feeling itself was:hushed, and to the credit of all, whether English, Scotch, or Irish, no political opponent insinuated or breathed a desire to revive the ancient calumny. There is still one class or body of men who have it in their power to confer an additional honour on the veteran, to add another testimonial to the many he has received from every side. To his brother Peers he addresses himself. With a dignified and graceful modesty he shows, in one brief sentence, how deeply he would be gratified by his election as one of their representatives. He says that " the honour of becoming a representative, under the peculiar circum ' stances of my case, I shall not attempt to undervalue." Perhaps this simple sentence speaks more forcibly than the most eloquent and brilliant lan guage could do how eagerly he desires this addi tional mark of confidence and respect. If he should by a possibility conceive that it could add to the universal conviction of his innocence, the Gallant Earl is mistaken —that is now too universally recog nised to require additional corroboration. But the Scottish nobility may testify their sense of the in justice perpetrated on one of themselves, and prove that they believe the peerage of their country to be without stain and reproach. They will do them selves even still greater honour by the selection than the distinguished object of their choice, and we should hope that politics for once would b e forgotten, and that the Earl of DUNDONALD would be unanimously returned to the Legislature as one of Scotland's slateen representative Peep. We have fitt'N, not touched on the deeply:important matter intm duced in his Lordship's letter, because we think tb.ere is a higher ground wholly apart from politics, and even from the power of benefiting a nation on a sub ject of the most vital importance. We: com mend it, however, to the public attention as worthy of the most attentive consideration. A letter from Berne states that, on the 28th ult., the Vorort, in reply to the communication it had addressed to the cantons, of the different decisions of the Diet respecting the Sonderbund, had received a formal declaration from the Council of State of Lucerne, contesting the validity of the decrees of the 20th, 211, and 31st of July, although they had been adopted by a majority of 12 and two half-cantons. The Council of State, moreover, added, that it would resist their execution by every means in its power. The example of Lucerne would, in all probability, be followed by the other Catholic cantons. According to letters from Leghorn of the 27th ult. a plot has been discovered in that city. It was formed by the Austro•retrograde party. It was intended, by attacking the person and house of the Austrian Consul, to furnish the Cabinet of Vienna with a pretext for intervention. This conspiracy was defeated by the vigilance of the patriots. The Turin Gazette states that Cardinal CrAccnr has published a proclamation, in which the inhabi tants of Ferrara are invited to quit the town and take refuge with him at a place not far distant, thus leaving to the Austrians only the empty town, which they occupy in contempt of treaties and of the laws of nations. Sardinia, which has protested against the occupa tion of Ferrara by the Austrians, has now a popula tion of 5,650,368 persons, and an army, for a time of war, of 100,000 men. Her navy consists of 28 ves sels, five of which-are 60-gun frigates. The King of PRUSSIA left Berlin a few days ago for Ischl, from whence he will proceed on a visit to Italy. On his return he will have an interview with Prince CHARLES, at Meram, and will afterwards proceed to Munich. His MAJESTY is expected at Coblentz about the 20th, and will return to Sans Souci towards the end of the month by way of Hanover. The Queen of PRussiA will remain at Ischl until the 13th, and will then proceed to pay visits to several of the little German Courts. The King of PRUSSIA has just elevated M. DE BODELSPIWING, Minister of the Interior, and Royal Commissioner in the Diet, to the dignity of High Chancellor of the Kingdom, which has been vacant since the death of the Prince DE HARDENBERG. It is said that, Count D'ARNISI is about to enter the Cabinet, but it is not yet known what department will be confided to him. Count DE FIQUELMONT, Minister of State, left Vienna on the 23d for Venice and Milan, where he will remain some time, to aid the Viceroy of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom with his advice in the management of affairs. Accounts have been received from Lisbon of the 24th of August, on which day the new Cabinet was completed under the directions of Marshal Sex.- DANHA, who, however, it appears does not take office, the Presidency of the Council having been conferred on CARVALLO, the Minister of the Interior. The following are the members of the Cabinet : Brigadier Baron DE Luz, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Colonel FRANZINI, Minister of Finances. Dom JOAO DE FONTES PEBEIRA, Captain in the Royal Navy, Minister of the Marine. Dom ANTONIO AVEZELLO MELLO E CARVALLO, Minister of the interior. Doin ANTONIO FERNANDEZ DE SILVA FERRAO I Minister of Justice and Public Worship. Baron DE ALMOFALLA, Minister of War. The new Ministry has issued a programme of the principles upon which it takes office. In this docu ment the Cabinet declares that it has adopted concili ation between all parties as the basis of its policy, that it is determined to respect and observe the charter, and to fulfil all the diplomatic engagements contracted with foreign Powers. They declare that the object of the men now entering on power is to carry on the Government on principles of morality, honesty, independence, and virtue. The Minister of the Interior, Dom A. Mina° E CARVALLO, was for a short time a member of the Cabral Ministry, but he quarrelled with his col. leagues, and has ever since been strongly opposed to them. It was not expected that this Cabinet would last many days. The Cabralists are using every effort to bring back COSTA CABRAL. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived. The QUEEN, on the previous evening, had instructed NARVAEZ to form a Cabinet, and the following has been handed about as a list of the new Ministry : The Duke of Valencia, President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs ; General Cordova, Minister of War ; M. Orlando, Minister of Finance; M. Sartorius or M. Seijas Lozano, Minister of the Interior ; M. Arazola or M. Gonzales Moron, Minister of Justice ; M. Olivan, of Marine ; and M. Sartorius, of Public Instruction, if he was not charged with the Home Department. Previously to his visit to her MAJESTY, the General was occupied in receiving visits at his residence from almost every person of note in Madrid. The crowd in his apartment was in fact immense ; all the Ministers, and General SERRANO himself, were amongst those present. On the 28th NARVAEZ went to the Pardo to visit the KING. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 28.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 for cash ; the Five per Cents. al 17i, and the Coupons at 15. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday, and extract from the National the following admir able review of the position into which the miserably selfish policy of M. GUIZOT has brought France. After alluding to the observations of the foreign journals on the recent events which have occurred in France, the National thus proceeds : " It is necessary, however, to protest, as we have ealready done, against the xaggerated and unjust con clusions deduced by certain foreign journals. They mistake the confined circle of the Government and of the persons who surround it for the vast and pure atmos phere of France. Those journals have, if they will use it, an easy mode of acquiring a knowledge of the truth. Let them consult their correspondents, and they will tell them whether the recent scandals excited anywhere a stronger emotion or a more profound indignation than in our country. No, we have no occasion to take lessons from any body in dignity of morals, in admiration of what is just, in the love of propriety, or in a desire for moral grandeur. It is particularly because the present system has despised those sentiments that it has fallen in France, as in Europe, into the last stage of dis credit. It still possesses the materials of Government, but all moral authority has withdrawn from it. It endures without life—shrivelled and diminished, and it vegetates like a stalk from which the sap has been exhausted by an internal malady. In such a state what can we demand of it? What political energy can we expect from a system upon which France and Europe have together passed judgment? All that now passes at our (toor and within the most n atura l s ph ere o f our activity might f urn i s h t h e French Government with a legitimate opportunity for demonstrating that of which the genius of our nation is capable. Spain,Switzerland, y Italy, Germ any , are excited b our ' The system seems to hav e no other mission tha i deas.to betray them. We ourselves have cancelled the tr ea ti es o f 1815, which imposed on us the elder branch o f fthe Bourbons and a kingd om o f the Netherlands . We have raised a standard whi c h t h e coalition had. van quished. We have proclaimed the sovereignty of the people. We have exercised the right which belongs to every free society, to constitute itself internally as it thinks best. The Helvetic Republic wishes in its turn to remodel its constitution—to give such institutions to the majority as may impart to it power to execute its wishes. M. Guizot interferes with Aus tria. lie speaks the language of Austria. He reason s like Austria on the maintenance of the treaties of 1815. He regards those treaties as a chain which paralyses the sovereignty of un independent state. He denies in his ardour the rights of the cantons, and, it he carried the audacity of his language into action, he would make the . arms of France serve to maintain the sinister pact. of the consequence of our defeat of which Switzerland wishes to rid herself as much as we do. What then stops him? Two causes which he cannot remove. First, his own impotence; and next, the attitude assumed by England. We must repeat, with a sen t i ment . of grief, that the British Government is jealous of the part in Switzerland and in Italy which belonged to France. It has anti c ip a t e d us . This will be denied in vain. The facts are ev id ent . The King of Sardinia made an ener ge t ic d emonstration i n favour of the Pope 's policy only when he had received encourag e ment irons the British Ministry. Bavaria, th( Duchy of Baden, Wurtemberg, Sardinia, Tuscany, and shortly, pehaps, th e Ki ng o f t h e T wo . Si ca li es , will be united by Great B r it a i n aga i nst t h e :p erve rse designs of Austria, secretly supported by hi, ciuizOt. It ill not _ _ LONDON, SATURDAY 10V4WING, SEPTEMBER 4, 110. merely at presentihat this alliance exists. It dates from the Spanish marriages—those ' fortunate unions,' ' that great affair,' which we opposed, to the great scandal of our dynastic contemporaries. It was next endeavoured at any cost to prevent the great Powers from joining in the protest of England. The Govern ment, as usual, acts the part of a mendicant, and it is now known what is to be the price which France is to pay for her silence. To ally herself with Austria in ordpr to suffer her to oppress all Italy, would have been crooked sho p olicy, li cy, demand and it theit 1 too perilous an act of extravagance. But the Cabinet assistancewas agreedof Austrian that, I bt d aa o yn Ipioatne:s a, prince sho uld would not give t. it any opposi tion. The same tolerance was accorded in respect of Swiss affairs. Let one canton demand assist ance from Austria, and France will agree to it. Foreign intervention in an independent country was then accepted by M. Guisot, and he hastened to treat it as a piece of good fortune by joining England in the question of Portugal. It was a road opened to a new ally, Prince Metternich, whose hand we eordially shook after the massacres of Gallicia. Unfortunately, the British Government became too soon acquainted with these private conventions, and it was sufficient that they originated in Spanish affairs that she should cross them. Thus, whilst the Austrians were making menac ing demonstrations at Ferrara, England gave orders to her fleet to sail towards the Adriatic. Whilst our am bassador, M. Bois-le-Comte, was rid culous and imper tinent towards M. Ochsenbein, Lord Palmerston wrote to his Minister at Berne a letter filled with polite com pliments, and encouragment for the new chief of the Vorort. The same antagonism occurs in all places, and what is distressing for us is, that the British Govern ment, assuming everywhere the honourable part, inte rests the population, flatters their tastes, and offers her sympathy and her assistance to all who aspire to liberty. The English journals are eagerly sought in Switzerland as wed as in Italy. The feeling of the British Government is supposed to be found in them I and, as that feeling responds to the popular wishes, those journals are . translated and distributed in all public places. To this point are we tallen 1 A Government sprung from the revolution of July allied at pret•ent to Metternich I The name of Frai.ce united with the odious name of Austria, which repreents the oppression of twenty different nations ! The generous force of our country associated with a false Government, without dignity or pity I The young and hardy spirit of the French revolution dragged after that old feutonic body, wJrn out with debauchery and violencel All that con stitutes our glory, our moral force—all that chasacte rised our expansion and interested popular sympathy— the protection of the weak—the useless struggles tor the liberty of the world—all that has crowned the brow of our country, and which rendered it dear to the oppressed as a hope for them,—all have been immolated and sacri ficed by that miserable system of which the passage will retain in our annals the recollection of a public degrada tion and a scourge." The protest with which the National commences its observations is, as far as the great majority of the English journals are concerned, quite unnecessary ; they have never been so unjust as to confound the French Court with the French People. The Gazette des Tribunaux gives the following ac count of the reported assassination of a woman by the Princ of Eca.mum. : "About a month back Prince d'E—, who for the moment was living in an apartment in a furnished hotel in the Rue St. Honere, kept by the son-in-law of one of the huissiers of the Tribunal of the Seine, was sud denly seized with a fit of madness, just as he was ascending one night to his bed-room, preceded by his valet de chambre, who held a light. Without any ap parent motive, he threw him,,elf on the servant, struck him repeatedly, and, after having forced him down on the stairs, trampled him under foot. ' But do you not know me, Monseigneur ?' cried the man ; 'it is I, your servant ! you want to kill me !" I know perfectly well who you are !' replied the Prince, redoubling his blows ; ' but I must absolutely kill you, and I will let you go only when dead!' rhe cries of the valet roused up the other occu pants of the hotel, arid they rescued the unfortunate man from his master's hands; the Prince, however, in place of entering his own room, slipped out of the hotel and escaped. It would seem that it was at this moment, whilst still under the empire of his fit of madness, that he proceeded to the residence of a woman with whom he had previously been on the most intimate terms, and who had even accompanied him in a voyage of circumna vigation which he made four or five years ago. He gave way on seeing her on the night in question, it is said, to great violence, and even gave her a stab of a knife in the breast, yet without doing her any great injury. However that may be, the Prince's mother came the next day in her carriage, accompanied by a physician, who declared the Prince's mind to be considerably af fected. She carried him off, it is said, to her property in Berry, and shortly after he was taken to Aix, in Savoy, for medical treatment. No declaration was made to the authorities of his conduct, and no complaint was preferred. These circumstances were, in fact, a month old, when public report seized on them and gave them to the world with versions both inexact and contradictory." The Gazette de France says it is able to contra dict the report of the young Duke DE PRASLIN having committed suicide. The Duke, adds the Gazette, is only between thirteen and fourteen years old, not seventeen, as the journals have stated. The Toulonnais of the 29th contains the following account of the disturbances in Naples : " Tne Neapolitan frigate, Stromboli, has just arrived here from Naples, which she quitted on the 22d, bound for Marseilles. She put into Toulon on account of bad weather. She left at Naples the Souverain, the Ocean, and the Friedland, men-of-war, the Psyebii steam frigate, and other French vessels. According to private letters events had assumed a very serious appearance in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies; the insurrection had made great progress, and the troops of the Government having been defeated in different encounters, showed at that time some hesitation. Several towns were in the power of the insurgents." - These accounts are probably exaggerated, in order to prepare the way for Austrian intervention with French connivance. This assemblage of French ships of war in the Bay of Naples denotes a foregone conclusion.

Dutch THE LATE LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR EDWARD BARNES.—The inauguration of the bronze statue erected to the memory of the, late Sir E. Barnes, Governor of Ceylon, in testimony of the respect felt for him by the European and native inhabitants of the island, and by his friends in England and in India, took place at Co lombo on the 25th - of Jun e l as t, i n th e p resenc e of the present Governor, 'Lord Torrington, Sir Emerson Ten nent, and other gentlemen, both civil and military. A salute of 17 guns was fired on unveiling the statue, and the band of the 37th Regiment played an appropriate air. From the inscription on the pedestal it appears that the services of the late Lieutenant-General are pro perly estimated by those who have survived him ; and from an article in the Colombo Examiner on the subject efforts to form read-makingrm good in Ceylon it may be inferred that his roads have been of great service, and are worthy of being imitated by his successors. He is said to have laid the foundation of the prosperity of Ceylon, and to have changed the island from a military garrison to a large exporting and importing colony. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.— The ar rival of grain is again small. There is a moderate demand for wheat at nearly the rates of last Friday ; some samples of new broucht from 48s. to 545. per quarter. The little new barley offering sells readily at 345. to 365. per qr. Oats are dull sale, and id. to Id. per stone cheaper. In beans, And other articles, no material alterati n. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—Yesterday her Ma jesty's Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners announced their intention of dispatching two vessels, of 400 tons burthen, from Deptford, on the 14th of Octo ber next, with male and female emigrants to S) dney and Port Philip. The report of the death of M. Soulie is contra dicted. His health is, on the contrary, improving. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH.--A man named Thomas Leith was tried at Edinburgh, on Wed nesday, for murder. The Lord Juitice Clerk presided, supported by Lords Ward and Crichton. The evidence given was of a kind that lelt no doubt that the prisoner had poisoned his wife, and the probable cause appeared to be a quarrel respecting a woman with whom the prisoner was connected. The jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy, simply, it appeared, from an aversion to capital punishment. The prisoner was i s n en st t a e nt nced to death, and the execution fixed for the 22d The Queen of Holland is about to proceed to Malta and Madeira. Her Majesty will be accompanied by her second son, Prince William Alexander, who it is said will remain some time at Madeira in order to re establish his health. CORONER'S INquErr.—An inquest was held yes terday by Mr. Bedford, at the Westminster Hospital, on the body of Abrahatit Eclminston, a gun-case maker, of No. 12, Macclesfield-street, Soho. It appeared that, on Monday last, a gentleman be-ught a pair of pistols to the deceased to make a case for them. In the afternoon the deceased asked his son fora bullet or a marble, as he wanted to shoot a cat. The boy left, the room by order of the deceased. Shortly after a report was heard, and the deceased was found lying upon the floor, and one of the pistols. which had been recently dis charged, by his side. He was attended by two surgeons, who found one of his jaws fractured, and was removed to the atiove hospital, where he died. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased died from the effects of injuries caused by a pistol being exploded in his mouth, but whether with a suicidal intent or not there was not sufficient evidence to show."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, and prices were in some instances *d. per lb. lower. The sales of the week are 20,600 bales, and were yester day 3.000 to 4,000 bales. Shares were better, and a further improvement was expeoced. The features in the Bank of England statement of liabilities and assets fbr the week to the 14th inst. are these : Notes issued £22,565,900 Decrease 49,040 Rest, decrease Public deposits Increase - 30,904 Other deposits, increase Seven day and other bills, decrease 26,449 Government Securities, increase ... 75,000 Other securities, increase 594,842 Notes reserved, decrease Bullion . Decrease 99,936 Active circulation 18,235,855 Increase The return indicates, consequently, a more active banking business, induced by the renewal of loans and discounts to more than the extent of the reduction which took place in the previous week; and for this purpose, it may be assumed, both the bullion and the reserve of notes has been made available. The Bank had loaned upon stock as well as commercial bills, and will no doubt pursue this course until about the end of the present month, when the advances will have to be to the Bank, in order to meet the dividends. The Money Market is rather light on account of the large amount of bills usually falling due on the fourth, and the instalment paid yesterday on the 8,000,000/, loan has also absorbed some of the surplus cash. The assistance by the Bank, therefore, is very opportune. Besides the failure of M. Roux at Paris for 100,0001., there are rumours of houses here being in difficulties, but which we can trace to no positive foundation yet. Even if correct, the fact could hardly be announced where there is a hope of bills being paid before the close of banking hours. In the Funds there is very little animation to-day. Cousols, however, have improved a little since the open ing, being now 871 for transfer, and 88 to . for time. Bank Stuck is marked 197, and India Stock 241. The New Three- and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 89} to The Foreign Investments are quite neglected. No minally Portuguese Stock is rather better, viz., 241 to 251. and Spanish Three per Cents. have been done at 30. Brazilian Small Bonds are at 85.
