Yesterday, being the birth day of the Empress Alexandra, there
• were public prayers in all the churches in the capital.
In the evening the city was illuminated. The Emperor ani Em-
press, with the (trend Duke Alexander, and the OrandCho"
Mary Olga and Alexandra, spent the Jay at Zarskojeselo.
The promenade to the Isles of Zeloigin and liammetioi Ostroff
began at six in the afternoon. The carriages. which arrived
by the 'Perspective (a long straight street) of Eammenoi Os-
troff, crossed the bridge to the bank f the river near the
church, whence they turned to the left, and watt along the bank
to the bridge of Zelagin. Those which came from the Viburg
quarter, by the bridge Stregonoff, joined the file near the church.
%Yhen they reached the bridge of Zelagin, the carriages were di-
rected in the island by gem d'arrnes, stationed there for the pur-
pose. The droshki, anti carriages drawn by one Manic only, not be.
m$ allowed to join in the file, went round the islands of Kamme-
not Ostroff and Krishdfaky, and stopped at the Finland village.
The promenade, which was favoured by a very fine evening. was
crowded and splendid. The tile of equipages was nnbroken tiom
the bridge of Souwaroff. The magnificence of tits carriages,
the rich dresses of the company, the vocal and instrumental musio
in the islands and on board the boat, gave extraordinary truth to
these rejoicings, which looked like a ramify festival. The people
celebrated with enthusiasm the:birth of the beloved Empress. At
eleven o'clock there were fire-works in the islands, the most splen-
did of which were opposite the Palace.

spective governments, as well as the Mayors of the chief towns, that

FItANIZFOOT. JULY M 3.
The Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia passed through this
city yesterday, to pay a visit to the ('curt of Hem Homburg.
They returned in the evening, and set out this morning for
Berlin.
Enussyts, Jun' 30.

His Serene Highness, Duke Bernard of Saxe-Weimar, Military
Governor of West Flanders, has just returned to this country from
his visit to America. As it was known that he had arrived in
England he was impatiently expected.
We learn that the Count de Survilliers (Joseph Bonaparte) is
expected in this city, and that a house is already hired for him.
It is said that the letter written by the Pope to our King, on the
gift of 20,000 florins touards building the church of St. Paul, at
Rome, thanking his Majesty for this munificence, expresses a wish
that the Homan Catholics may be equally liberal, if Protestant
churches had to be rebuilt.
The Court of Assize at Liege, after four days. have passed sen-
tence on the 27th in the affair of Ichoulet and his sons, accused of
inflicting wounds on the widow Riguellc, which caused an inability
to work for more than 20 days.. The father is sentenced to hard
labour for ten years, the eldest son for eight years, the two others
each six years ; all to stand in the pillory ; and to pay to the two
daughters of the deceasedl, 500 florins damages,—Brunel Papers,
Augael 2.

Persons who have the best means of information in the
City assert that an important improvement has commenced
in the manufactoring districts, that trade is reviving, and
that the markets are becoming relieved of goods. We be-
lieve this to be the case to a certain extent, but we must
again warn the country against too sanguine expectations
of amendment. A convulsion in commerce like that we
have experienced, the worst symptoms of which we trust
may now be considered as over, cannot pass away like a
summer cloud. Many relapses must occur before com-
merce can be placed upon a sound footing, and before those
principles are brought into operation that will so materially
tend to prevent a recurrence of the distress that has been
and still is so severely felt. There is one fact connected
with the commercial difficulties of the present year that
is worth remarking upon—that throughout the whole of
them the Ministers have never lost their popu-
larity ; which proves, probably as strongly as any
individual circumstance can do, the progress that
knowledge and liberal opinions are making amongst us.
However trifling may have been the influence that the
Non-Restrictive System has had upon the existing state of
commerce, we all know that there have been monopolists in
abundance ready to descant on its evil effects, and to assert
roundly that the whole of our embarrassments have arisen
from the change in our commercial system. It is evident
that the great mass of the reflecting portion of the com•
munity must have approved, in the first instance, of this
alteration, and must continue to feel the necessity of
its adoption ; for, if the contrary were the case, discontent
would have been extensively abroad, and unmeasured cen-
sure would have been the reward of the Goverinnent. This
absence of discontent is also a proof of the increasing intel-
ligence amongst the operatives themselves; for, if there
did not exist in this class a strong predilection in favour of
the measures of Ministers, and their unfeigned endeavours
for the public welfare were not appreciated, the ebullitions
of the people would have gone much further than to the
destruction of a few power-looms and silk-manufactories.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.

The Money Market to-day has exhibited some activity.',
Consols attained a quotation of 78t 3, at which price there
were buyers. At the close of the market, however, they
had subsided to 781 A for money, and 78A for the ac-
count. The rise in question was wholly attributable to
the tomewhat improved state of things in the manufactur-
ing districts, as represented by letters this morning. It is
understood that a slight impetus has been given to trade;
