There really appears to be a kind of ultra-religious
epidemic. Every now and then Honourable Gentle-
men struggle up to the surface of Parliamentary
discussion, and strive, by the most spasmodic efforts,
to emulate the pious reputation of Sir ANDREW
AGNEW. To their imaginations the idea seems t• be
feasible, rather than ridiculous, of making virtue
patent, and of enforcing the commandments of GOD
by Acts of Parliament. A sort of scriptural pro-
priety is the highest of their religious aspirations.
3lr. lIINDLEY is anxious to be regarded as a rather
superior lover of morality, though, by the way, Mr.
PECKSNIFF in like manner was a decidedly moral
man. When shall there be an end of all this sancti-
monious twaddle—this flirtation with conscience—
this coquetry of Christianity ? Men are becoming
sick of it; they cry out against it as THOMAS CAR-
LYLE has recently called out against Ireland,
" Squelch it !—I say, by Heavens !—Squelch
iy begin to recognise in all this assumption of
a mere sham, hollow, egregious unreality.

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, JULY 11.—In the Second Chamber of
the States General, Baron MACKAY was nominated
Member in the place of M. Lucac, who has tendered
his resignation. The President communicated to
the Chamber two royal messages, accompanying two
projects of law relative-Ist, to the receipts and ex-
penditure of 1840 and two preceding years; and,
2dly, the, regularization of the funds proceeding from
the sales of domains of the year 1847. Ordered to
be referred to the sections. The order of the day
was the discussion of the project of law relative to
the suppression of corporal punishment. This pro-
ject gave rise to many objections. The majority of
the Members, though not approving of the present
p,.nal system, which was established in 1813, considered
it more imprudent to introduce a radical change.
As the law makes a difference between delinquency
and crime, punishing the former with hard labour,
and the latter with flogging, brand mark, and im-
prisonment, and this project proposed the entire
abolition of corporal punishment, and the substitu
tion of hard labour and imprisonnient for life, it was
considered by the Members that the distinction be-
tween delinquency and crime was lost sight of, and
that the former was treated with comperatively undue
severity. After a lengthened debate, the project of
law for flagellation and brand mark, was carried by a
majority of 30 to 21.

In his speech on this question the Minister of
Justice stated that during the last three months
the number of crimes committed in this country were
less than during any other corresponding periods,
and that during these three months corporal punish-
ment had not once been resorted to throughout the
kingdom. In reply to the observation of one of the
Members, that public security might be endangered
by the removal of this restraint, the Minister stated
that he by no means shared these apprehensions ; but
that if any attempt should be made, the Government
was perfectly prepared immediately to resort to those
means that would prevent such a proceeding.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURGII, JUNE 29.—Yesterday's bul-
letin of the cholera was very short. Of the sick there
was 529 under treatment on the 27th, and in the
course of that day 486 new cases appeared ; on the
28th there were 790 under treatment. The epidemic
has been raging with increased violence during the
last week ; it selects its victims chiefly from the
lowest class ; but it appears with a virulence that
exceeds anything we have hitherto met with. Death
generally ensues in two hours, and up to this time
not one of the persons who have been attacked by it
have recovered.—Allgemeine Zeitung, July 7.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

This house, under new, and it may be hoped suc-
cessful, management, re-opened last night for a
" summer's season," with a company composed of
many established favourites. Mr. Wigan, Mr. F.
Vining, Mr. A. Younge, Cowell, H. Cooper, &c.,
appeared ; and Mr. Compton, and Mrs. Brougham,
Mrs. Leigh Murray, and Mrs. Wigan are announced.
Mr. Leigh Murray is the stage manager. Mrs. Gil-
bert, of the American stage, made her first appear-
ance, as did a Miss St. George, who plays with
considerable vivacity. It is intended to perform light
and amusing pieces after the old plan of this house,
and the prices being moderate, the house comfortable,
the attendants civil, and the company fully equal to
the average, it may be hoped that an effort of this
sort will be attended with success, especially if dra-
matic writers of established reputation are engaged.
London, England, 1848-07-13

BELGIUM.

The King of the BELGIANS gave an audience on
Sunday to M. QUINETTE, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic.
M. QUINETTE, in presenting his credentials, spoke as
follows :

" Sire,—l am charged by the chief of the Executive
Power to express, in the name of the French Republic,
the sentiments of concord and friendship which have
always united, and ought always to unite, two nations
drawn close together by numerous interests and great
historical reminiscences. The principle of independence
and of the individual liberty of nations, of which the
French nation has by so much energy and so great sa-
crifices ensured for itself the triumph —these principles
it admits and wishes to respect amongst other States.
This declaration, which the Republic made when esta-
blished, and which the Executive Power has renewed in
the national Assembly, remains the basis and rule of
the foreign policy of France. The instructions which
have been given to me, and the sentiments which the
Government of your Majesty has had expressed to the
Executive Power of the French Republic, impart to the
mission which lam called on to fulfil a character and an
object which cannot but bind closer the relations of con-
fidence and of good neighbourhood between the two na-
tions and their Governments. Allow me to express,
Sire, all the satisfaction which personally I feel in re-
ceiving such a mission. Neither the head of the Execu-
tive Power of the Republic nor myself can forget that
in other times our exiled fathers and ourselves, when
obliged to seek a refuge, found in this country a hospi-
tality for which we shall always preserve a profound re-
membrance of gratitude towards the generous Belgian
nation."

The KING replied—
" Monsieur le Ministre,—l receive with a lively satis-
faction the expression of the sentiments of concord and
friendship which you offer to me, in the name of the
chief of the Executive Power of the French Republic.
Be convinced that we shall not neglect anything to con-

ROME.

Letters' from Rome of the 2d say that Memo's',
the Minister of the Interior, had published a circular
to the following effect :—" The times are becoming
very critical, and in more than one part of Italy
germs of dissension appear; but if the duty of assist-
ing the public cause speaks loudly in the hearts of
all respectable men, the fear of factions is of little
import—stimulate the courage and good dispositions
of the well-disposed, and inculcate in their minds
those wise, sound, and truly national doctrines which
have hitherto presided over our regeneration. Italy
should herself do all that is necessary to attain inde-
pendence, the first condition 'of this is concord and
confidence between the citiks and the nations.

Such should be the ultimate end of our sacrifices.
In presence of Austria, which continues to menace us,
he must he a bad citizen who seeks to sow dissension.
Let these sentiments, which are professed by the im-
mense majority of Italians, be constantly present to
the mind."

finding him at first devoted to a gentle maiden of
high degree, who might have suggested to him
Miranda, and Juliet, and Desdemona ; she is taken
away by death in the early period of their loves,
and we then follow the inconstant suitor in his woo-
ing of Anne Hathaway. We listen to him serenad-
ing her with the musical invocation of Cymbeline
" Hark, hark, the lark at Heaven's gate sings," and
perceive him throwing in at her window the original
of that love-song containing that exquisite and lover-
like play upon the name of Hathaway—
" To melt the sad, make blythe the gay,
And nature charm Anne, hath a way—
She bath a way,
Anne Hathaway,
To breathe delight, Anne hath a way."
Shakspere and Anne are married, and the romancist
passes briefly over the discord of their unhappy
married lite. The unfortunate Duchess of
Pra slin has beautifully and truthfully said
" sympathy is the marriage of souls." No sym-
pathy united the poet and the illiterate village maiden
—they were spiritually uncongenial and disunited.
After the deer-stealing at Charlcote, Shakspere takes
refuge in London. Here we find him engaged "to
snuff the candles and sweep the stage" at the Globe
Theatre, and afterwards, when his own plays come
to be brought forward on the stage, we see the humble
woolcomber's son transformed with marvellous cele-
rity into the favourite of royalty, and the friend of
Raleigh, and Essex, and Spencer, and the chief gal-
lants of the Court. The description of the first re-
presentation of " The lamentable Tragedy of Romeo
and Juliet," which is introduced in this portion of
the narrative, is detailed in a very effective and most
interesting manner. At this phase of his existence
Mr. Curling takes leave of his hero, and concludes
the third volume of a work, which, if it be in some
particulars imperfect, is, on the whole, both attractive
and interesting, from its happy illustration of the
career and character of Shakspere.

These numbers complete the work, and Mr.
Thackeray may now boast that he has completed the
best English novel that has been produced in the 19th
century.

THE STUDENTS SELF-INSTRUCTING
FRENCH GRAMMAR. Fifth Edition. By D.
M. Aird.

We observe that this admirable little work, noticed
on former occasions by ourselves, has already reached
its fifth edition. The panegyric thus pronounced
upon it by the public is fully justified by merits
which are as conspicuous as they are numerous.
French is certainly made easy by Mr. Aird in a little
volume of seventy pages. Those who do not acquire
a knowledge of the language by going through those
seventy pages consecutively have only one consola-
tion—they must be peasessed of an incorrigible
stupidity. We may mention that the present edition
is both enlarged and corrected.

Sir W. HEATHCOTE said the question was one of
so much importance that he trusted his Hon. Friend
would not heed an adverse decision.—(ll-ear, hear.) It

was incumbent that the House should clear itself from
the just reproach pronounced upon it, in consequence of
persons in insolvent circumstances seeking the protection
of the House against their creditors. He did not think
any public right would be violated by removing persons
of this class from the House. This would not punish
those who had been compelled to become bankrupts.

After a few words from Mr. MACKENZIE and Mr.
FOWLES,

Mr. MOFFATT said he wished simply to get the
House to affirm the principle of the Bill; if so, he
should not press it into Committee.

Mr. BERNAL advised the House not to be in such a
hurry to vindicate its purity.—(Hear.) Were there not
persons out of the House who resorted to dishonest ex-
pedients to thwart their creditors from their due.
He challenged his Hon. Friend to name five
Members out of the whole number of which
the House consisted who had rendered themselves
amenable to such a Bill as this. Let them not be in too
great a hurry to become jurists. The Bill was full of
matters which he might turn to ridicule; but he should
forbear from doing so; for instance, no power of appeal
was given.
Mr. E%VART advised his Hon. Friend to withdraw
his Bill till next session. He had attained his wish,
namely, an expression of opinion in favour of his Bill.
He was in favour of its principle ; but the objections to
this Bill were insuperable.—(Cries of " Divide," and
" Withdraw.")
Mr. MOFFATT withdrew the measure ; but inti-

mated that he should renew it early in the next session.

the Terrible, steam. frigate, Commodore RAMSAY,

Consul took the opportunity of presenting, through
the Captain of the Harlequin, a protest to ALBINO,
stating that if any English property should be de-
troyed by the blockading squadron, England would
hold Sardinia responsible.

will probably not agree to this, as it will diminish the
resources of the State by several millions.
In the Committee of the Assembly on Foreign
Affairs an interesting conversation took place on the
subject of Italy. General OUDINOT expressed an
opinion that France should at once interfere. M.
DE LAMARTINE replied, in a long speech, in the
course of which he minutely examined the Italian
question. He pointed out with great force the dan-
ger of intervention on the part of France, and con.
tended, that although the time might come when
France would be called upon to interfere, it was not
at the present moment. He contended that interven-
tion on the part of France would be at the present
time an act of wanton aggression, as it was not
wished for by the Italians themselves, and was not
necessitated by the military condition of the KING of
SARDINIA'S army. An intervention, he declared
would be a casus belli. It would be throwing down
the gauntlet to Europe at the very moment when
France was bound to prove by her acts what she had
asserted in words, that she was desirous of living in
peace and harmony with Germany and Italy.
The Reforme of Sunday was seized for reprinting
an article from the Representant du Peuple.
The steamer Cocyte arrived on the 7th at Toulon
from Algiers. She left at Algiers the steam-frigate
Labrador, which was destined to convey troops to the
East, in which quarter there were strong indications of
revolt. Several other ships had already taken their
departure with troops, and a battalion of the 36th of
the line, then at Algiers, was to be embarked on the
2d for Bugia. It was reported at Algiers when the
Cocyte came away that a part of Kabylia was in agi-
tation, and that an affair had taken place a short dis-
tance from Bugia, in which the natives had a strong
force. More precise details will no doubt
be brought by the next arrivals. How-
ever this may be, the garrison of Bugia
must be sufficiently strong to assume the
offensive with vigour, should circumstances require it.
The steam corvette Infernal, which left Oran on the
30th ult., with a squadron of the 41st Chasseurs and
their horses, and some infantry, brings favourable
accounts from the west of Algeria, where since the
last expedition against the tribe of the Flittas, sent
out by General PELISSIER, there has not been any
disturbance.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have received files of papers from the Cape of
Good Hope to the 6th of May inclusive.
Tranquillity prevails throughout the colony.
We extract the following from a Cape Town paper
of the 6th of May :
" The last post brings intelligence from beyond the
boundary, east and north, of a very favourable character.
'1 he return of property stolen from the colony, and
traced into Katirland, from the Ist of January to the
31st of March, amounts to seven horses traced and
restored, and five head of cattle, for which seventeen
head were taken, as a fine upon the chief, who refused
to follow on account for the spoor of the five head
tracked to his kraal ir. T'Slambie's district; and ten
hores traced into the Gaika district, of which seven
were recovered, with a fine of two horses and eleven
head of catle.

" Two more horses were reported to be stolen, but not
proved to have gone into Kafirland. Considering Lb:
state of the country after such a war, then just ended,
or rather not ended at the earliest of these dates, this
gives an encouraging view of the present system, girl-
especially of the officers and others who administer it.
" Accounts from the north side of the Orange River,
received by. Wednesday's post, continued to be moat
satisfactory.

Legation yesterday, to be present at tbe meeting of tile

SLIEERNESS.—It was re---ported here by some Deal
pilots yesterday (Monday) that three German ships, be-
longing to Mr. Whicks, at Bremen, which started from
the Downs on the Ist instant, have been captured by the
Danes. The Prussian and German ships (nine in num-
ber), at present lying in the river Medway, are daily
expecting to be ordered by their owners to their respec-
tive destinations. The commanders of these vessels ap-
pear to be a very intelligent class of men; most a them
speck several langutsges.—Maidstone Journal,

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, JULY 11.—In the Second Chamber of
the States General, Baron MACKAY was nominated
Member in the place of M. Luzac, who has tendered
his resignation. The President communicated to
the Chamber two royal messages, accompanying two
projects of law relative-Ist, to the receipts and ex-
penditure of 1840 and two preceding years; and,
2dly, the, regularization of the funds proceeding from
the sales of domains of the year 1847. Ordered to
be referred to the sections. The order of the day
was the discussion of the project of law relative to
the suppression of corporal punishment. This pro-
ject gave rise to many objections. The majority of
the Members, though not approving of the present
p .!nal system, which was established in 1813, considered
it more imprudent to introduce a radical change.
As the law makes a difference between delinquency
and crime, punishing the former with hard labour,
and the latter with flogging, brand mark, and im-
prisonment, and this project proposed the entire
abolition of corporal punishment, and the substitu
tion of hard labour and imprisonment for life, it was
considered by the Members that the distinction be-
tween delinquency and crime was lost sight of, and
that the former was treated with comperatively undue
severity. After a lengthened debate, the project of
law for flagellation and brand mark, was carried by a
majority of 30 to 21.

In his speech on this question the Minister of
Justice stated that during the last three months
the number of crimes committed in this country were
less than during any other corresponding periods,
and that during these three months corporal punish-
ment had not once been resorted to throughout the
kingdom. In reply to the observation of one of the
Members, that public security might be endangered
by the removal of this restraint, the Minister stated
that he by no means shared these apprehensions ; but
that if any attempt should be made, the Government
was perfectly prepared immediately to resort to those
means that would prevent such a proceeding.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

Letters from Goito of the Ist confirm the report
that CHARLES ALBERT had rejected the offers of
Austria. Those offers were the surrender of Lom-
bardy west of the Adige, including Mantua and
Verona, but retaining for Austria the Venetian pro-
vinces.

The Constituzionale Subalpino states from Rover-
bella that sin engagement had taken place on the 4th
at Villatranca. It lasted a quarter of an hour, and
the Austrians were repulsed. A serious battle had
begun at Bardolino, the result of which was not yet
known.

BOURSE—PARis, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12.

THREE O'CLOCK.—The Bourse was very animated to-
day, and a great deal of business was done. This rise
is to be attributed merely to the confidence felt by the
public in the re-establishment of order, in consequence
of the vigorous measures adopted by the Government
for the regulation of the press and the clubs. There
was no news at the Bourse, either foreign or domestic,
of any interest.

PRICE OF SUGAR.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the returns made in the week ending May 16,
1848, is 253. sd. per cwt. 1

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of May 19.

SUGAR.—To-day the market was again sparingly sup-
plied with all descriptions of Raw Sugar, and as the
home trade was desirous to operate, a further rise was
apparent in the value. The demand for all sort of West
India was good, and stiffer rates were obtained for the
660 hhds &c. that were sold. The rise for the week is
6d, and in some cases is per cwt; the total sales are
1,850 hhds and trcs. The market for all sorts of Sugar
closes firmer.
RETINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was much sought
after for home use, and higher rates obtained—brown
grocery lumps realising 55s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar
is unaltered in value, the demand is, however, not brisker.
MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public
sale, and the purchases made privately were to a fair
extent ; the rates paid exhibit an advance on those of
this day week of 6d per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Suguar met with
attention, and privately several parcels were sold at
stiffer rates. At auction 2,135 bags of grainy were dis-
posed of, and at enhanced prices, very fine realised 50s,
and fine 47s 6d to 493. Madras met with a good de-
mand privately, and 400 bags at auction sold at stiffer
rates, fine damp brown realised 30s, and low yellow 31s
per cwt.

FOREIGN.—This afternoon a fair inquiry prevailed
for Foreign Sugar, but holders asking stiffer rates,
operated against business. None was offered at public
sale. The private operations for the week are 1,100
chests of yellow Havannah at 393 6d, and 200 chests of
low brown Bahia at 37s per cwt. 400 chests of low
white Babia 40s

MoLAsszs.—The inquiries after West India have been
numerous this this week, but holders asking advanced
rates operated against business. Porto Rico has been
selling at 18s, and fine Antigua at 21s per cwt. There
is only a limited supply at market. Bengal Treacle finds
a more ready sale at 16s to 17s per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon plantation Ceylon Coffee
was operated in with increased freedom, and 739 bags at
auction were sold at stiffer rates—fine realized 71s, good
60s to 665, middling 50s 6d, low middling 435 6d to 48s,
fine fine ordinary 38a to 40s, fine ordinary 34 to 37s 6d,

SPAIN.

The Gates publishes a loyal decree on the subject
of arranging the public debt :
" The preliminary exposition abounds in remarks upon
the sacred nature of the public debt, the determination
of the Government to grapple with the subject, &c. But
the main facts it contains are these—Senor Bertran de

Lis states ' that a project of law fer the arrangement
of the debt had already been examined and sanctioned
at a council of ministers, and was about to be presented
to the Cortes, when just and grave considerations, which
caused the cessation of the Legislature, frustrated the
design, and obliged the Government to postpone it.'
" Another fact is the announcent that the Govern-
ment is resolved that the Four and Five per Cent. Stock
shall'cease to bear interest from the Ist January, 1849.
• and iifequally decided to offer to the national and foreign
creditors the satisfaction of their just credits in the
manner which our economical state permits,' &c.
The Royal decree is as follows :-
- "In conformity with what the Minister of Finance
has proposed to me in accord with the council of Mi-
nisters, I have decreed the following :
" 1. A commission is established, which without any
delay shall occupy itself in forming a project of law for
the arrangement of the consolidated and non-consoli-
dated debt, both internal and external
" Art. 2. In order for the fulfilment of this charge,
and to avoid delays and obstructions, the commission
,;hall confer directly with the Finance Minister on the
--bases on which the arrangement may have to rest, and
--shall also have the power to ask for itself at the respec-
tive offices all the data and documents which it may
-think necessary.
" Art. 3. The members of the commission shall be
Don Ramon Santillan, ex-Minister of Finance, and
Senator of the kingdom, who shall fill the charge of Pre-
sident;•Don Antonio Hompanera de Cos, ex-Minister of
the Home Department ; Don Manuel Sanchez Silva,
Deputy to the Cortes ; the Director-General of the Pub-
lic Debt, and Don Jose Borrajo, employed in the Fi-
nance Department, who shall discharge the functions of
Secretary.
