We read in the Messager :—"lt is in contempla-
tion to prorogue the National Assembly from the
25th of August to the 25th of September. Our
representatives would thus have a month's vaca-
tion preparatory to the discussion on the Con-
stitution, which cannot well commence before
the Ist of October, in consequence of the labours
imposed on the Committee for the introduction
of the votes come to in the late conferences. It has
besides been considered that, as the Assembly must sit
permanently from the Ist of October until the constitu-
tion shall have been voted, it was proper to allow the
members a vacation at the moment of the harvest and
the vacations of the law courts. The bureau, however,
will remain constituted, so that the Assembly may be
called together in a few days, if circumstances should
imperatiVely require it. The Presidency of M. MAR,
FEAST will expire before the day of the prorogation of
the Assembly. According to all appearance, M.
AIARIZAST will be re-elected, and the honour of this
re-election will be the more precious, as up to the
present time no President of the National Assembly
has held the post more than one month."

WALL AC HIA.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 27th inst. hes the
following :

" BUCHAREST, JULY 13.

" Instead of the Russians we bare once more the
Provisional Government amongst us. It was ascer-
tained yesterday that the reports which had
been spread and several dispatches were false.
Thanks to the propaganda of the young men
who had not fled, the whole of the people have risen
again. This time the merchants have also pro-
nounced themselves in favour of the movement.
The whole of the population proceeded to the
residence of the Metropolitan, whom they com-
pelled to kneel and swear on the Bible that he '
would tell the truth. He at length owned that
the spurious dispatches had been fabricated by
his order. The Kaimakan was dismissed, and a
courier was sent to the Provisional Government,
to request them to return to Bucharest. Negotia-
tions were opened with ODOBESCO and SoLoatorr.
The former is favourable to the cause of the people,
but he requires that TELL and MAGGIERO, the two
most energetic members of the Provisional Govern-
ment should retire. The city is quiet ; some houses,
however, were sacked : amongst these were the houses
of the late Minister of Finance, GERESCO, and of the
Metropolitan's secretary.

" Accounts from the frontiers of Wallachia, of the
18th instant, state that the Russians, after leaving
4,000 men at Jassy, were advancing through Walla-
chia without encountering any resistance : 3,000
men were marching to Krasowa. Prince Butzsco
was expected."

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 1.)
SIXIAR.—To-day a further improvement was visible
in the position of the raw Sugar market, and there is
evidently a desire on the part of several of the trade to
get well into stock, merchants on the other hand
have confidence. West India Muscovado was in ex-
cellent request both for the scale and pan, whilst
the rates paid show an advance on those previously
current of 6d per cwt. A puble sale of 144 hhds and
6 trs of Barbadoes Sugar went at prices 6d per cwt
above those of Friday. Fine yellow realized 42s 6d to
43s 6d, good 41s to 425, middling 38s 6d to 40s, and low
37s 6d per cwt. The total sales reach 1,017 hhds and
tierces.

REFINED.—To-day refined goods were dealt in with
increased freedom for home trade purposes, and prices
advanced to 54s for standard and 53s for brown grocery
lumps. There is a large export demand for bonded
crushed Sugar at 26s 6d to 27s 6d per cwt.
ISlAunraus..—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was
dealt in with greater freedom privately, and 2,033 bags
at auction were all sold, and in some cases 6d per
cwt above former rates, fine yellow went at 39s 6d to

with much firmness.

Native the market is dull at 29E to 31s for good and
fine ord.

TEA.—Previous rates are well supported for Congou,
and there is a desire on the part of the trade generally to

increase their stocks; there is also a less quantity on
offer. Sales to a large extent made upon the following
terms; ordinary unclean coarse 7d to lid, and new
kinds 8d to Bid, mixed leaf 9d to Ild, blackish leaf

for good and fine. Ponchong is wanted, and the parcels
sold realzed from 4d to Bd, the supply continues to
diminish. We cannot quote green higher, holders are
firm, and there is a good demand, especially for the
better sorts. Scented and Pekoe Teas fetched fall rates
with a fair sale. None has been offered at suction since
this day week.

tion, and privately few parcels were sold ; at auction

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE
BILL.
This Bill was read a third time and passed.
ECCLESIASTICAL DIVISIONS BILL.
The Commons' amendments to this Bill were agreed to.
IRELAND.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from certain
depositors in St. Peter's Savings' Bank, Dublin, which
had failed for 74,0001. In 1831, a Mr. Dunne was in
default and absconded with a large sum in his hands.
There was a great fault in international law with regard
to swindlers. He had given a judgment in favour
of Dr. Hussey for 60,000/., the person had
gone to France, and had died there with the
money in his possession, and there was no redress
for Dr. Hussey. In the same way Dunne bad absconded,
and the people were advised to go on in the hopes of
making up the deficiency of Dunne. They went on
until the year 1845 subscribing, when 233,0001. was
drawn out, leaving only 30,0001. in the bank, and they
then stated to the Chancellor of the Exchequer
the gross mismanagement and the gross frauds which
had taken place without being checked by the authori-
ties. They had received deposits from persons exceed-
ing the amount permitted, contrary to law, and they
opened several accounts for the same individual, con-
trary to law. The Government of that day never ex-
pressed any disapprobation, nor did they take any step
to express their disapprobation. They therefore
thought that all was right, and went on depositing
until 1847, when the savings'-bank proved insolvent,
having only 871. to pay 47,000/. There was no class of
the community more entitled to protection than the de-
positors in savings'-banks, inasmuch as giving encourage-
ment to them was discouraging those grovellers who
depended upon the relief to pauperism. He trusted
their Lordships would give these 1,500 depositors every
relief in their power.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to
say that the subject bad been referred to Mr. Tidd Pratt,
but the Noble Marquis was nearly inaudible is the
gallery.
After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE, the subject
dropped.
