the closest manner anything connected with
the service to which he has devoted him-
self, and of which he is so great an ornament,
professed himself astonished at the mass of informa-
tion brought forward, and stated that he had never
heard a clearer elucidation of the state of the navy.
The total amount of the votes taken was 7,667,4141.,
from which, deducting the reserved credit for
190,4611., the gross sum required for that
branch of the public service would be 7,476,9531., a
large expenditure indeed, and one deserving of the
closest scrutiny of the House ; but large as it is, we
are convinced that there is no Englishman who would
desire that the efficiency of the navy should be im-
paired in any the slightest degree by any undue
economy, or petty saving; we have too long suffered
under the effects ofthe penny-wise and pound foolish
system to de:dre that it should be tried on a service
which has justly been looked upon as the bulwark
and defence of England—the source of her power
and greatness. Mr. WARD, most properly, refrained
from holding out any false hope of a diminution of
the expenditure. He stated "that he did not believe
that any great reduction in these estimates was pos-
sible or probable, so long as the naval establishments
of other nations continued on the footing on which
they were at present placed. He thought it would
be both unfit and unsafe, he believed it would be
dishonourable for England again to run the risk she
had twice done during the last five years, from an
unwillingness to increase their naval establishment—
that there were periods, when any sudden rupture
here, or on the other side of the Atlantic, would have
found us unprepared."
This is, indeed, a serious consideration; it is well
known that the best way to avoid a war which,
under the most favourable circumstances, must
prove injurious to our commerce, and disastrous
to the best interests of the nation, is to be
found ever preparel for any alternative that
may be forced upon us, to be enabled to protect the
rights and interests of our country. Such a state of
preparation, too, enables us to speak temperately and
firmly, that while on the one hand we make no un-
worthy, unwise, or dishonourable concession, any
step which we may take to avoid so frightful an event
cannot be imputed to timidity or cowardice. The na-
tion, conscious of its strength and power, can afford
to take steps for the preservation of peace,
the policy or prudence of which might be doubtful in
another, whose resources were less available. It was
by these means that we avoided the horrors that
would have been occasioned by hostilities with our
trans-Atlantic brethren, with whom we may now look
forward to a long interchange
.of friendly relations,
mutually beneficial to both countries. There was one
part of the Right Honourable Gentleman's speech
which we hailed with peculiar pleasure—that which
held out a hope that the close attention
of the Admiralty would be directed during the recess
to a system which alone could afford a substitute for

present resolutions in making known within the delay of one '
year to our Apostolic Nuncios or other representatives of the
Holy Sea, their desire to profit by this act of our clemency.
" 3. We equally pardon those who, for having taken part
in any conspiracies against the State, are under political sur-
veillance, or may have been declared incapable of holding
municipal offices.
"4. It is our desire that all criminal prosecutions for poli-
tical offences which have not yet received defit;itivejOgment
should be instantly put a stop to, and that the prisoners be
set at liberty, unless any of them may demand the con-
tinuation of their trials, in order that their innocence may be
proved.
"5. There shall not be included in the provisions of the
preceding articles the small number of ecclesiastics, of military
officers and cotplop7.9 of the Government who have been
already condemned, or have fled, or are now under trial for
political offences. With regard to those we reserve our de-
cision until we shall have obtained information as to their
particular position.
"6. There are also excluded from the present amnesty
crimes and ordinary offences, which are subject to the juris-
i diction of the tribunal.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about
3,500 bales, at former rates. Shares were steady.
Most parties in the City connected with banking and com-
mercial pursuits appear deeply anxious as to the result of the
debate on the Sugar Duties, which will be commenced in
the House of Commons this evening, and ,it is sincerely
hoped brought to a conclusion very speedily. The passage
of the Ministerial measure through the House of Commons is
deemed all but a certainty, and should Lord Brougham
bring forward the matter, though indirectly, as is believed
will be the case this evening, something like an index will
be formed of the extent of hostility that may be expected to
bear upon the proposition of the Premier.
The accounts received from the United States of
the passing of the tariff, in which many concessions are
made in favour of this country, have given very con-
siderable satisfaction in mercantile circles, as there were
doubts entertained that the scale would have been "burked"
in the upper branch of the Legislature. It is now fairly
presumed that business will very considerably be augmented
between the two countries, especially after the adjustment of
the Oregon question, which has so long unsettled mercantile
pursuits.
Some samples of the new crop of Wheat were placed on
the stands in Mark-lane this morning, and realised 555. per
quarter, or about 6s. to Bs. less than might have been
realised the week before last, quality considered. A very
considerable amount of business has been done in the grain
trade to-day. The new heats are rather short as to
weight, but of good average quality. The accounts from
most parts of the country within a circle of 70 to 80 miles
state that harvest operations, where not already actually be-
gun, will become general in the course of the present week.
Heavy showers Lave fallen in all directions to the greatbene-
fit of the spring sown corn especially.
There is a very firm market for the Funds this morning,
and the appearance of things has most decidedly improved.
The price for the Account is now 96%, and for the first
transfer day, to-morrow, 95% ; Exchequer-bills remain flat
at from 15s. to 10s. premium. There has been a slight fall
in India Bonds. Bank Stock has advanced 1 per cent.
A very limited amount of business has been transacted in
the Foreign Stocks this morning, but still prices are compa-
ratively firm. The New Brazilian Bonds for the Account
are at 36%, the Mexican Five per Cents. at 26, the Portu-
guese Four per Cents. are at 46, Spanish Consols at 24% to
25, the Three per Cents. at 36% %, the Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 59% %, and the tour per Cents. 94%.
The Railway Share Market has been rather more firm this
morning. Still business cannot be said to be brisk.

We are anxious to feel a confidence that those who will
avail themselves of our clemency will know how at all-times
to respect their duties and their honour. We hope, more-
over, that their minds, softened by our pardon, will lay aside
their civil hatreds, which are always the occasion and the
effect of political passions, in order to draw closer those
bonds of peace by which God desires that all the sons of the
same father shall be united; but if our hope be deceived, it
would be with bitter pain that we should call to mind that if
clemency is the sweetest attribute of sovereignty, justice is
its first duty.
"Given at Rome this 16th day of July, 1846, in the first
year of our Pontificate.
(Signed)

"PIUS P. P. IX."

A letter from Rome, of the 18th, gives an interest-
ing account of the effect produced by the publication
of the amnesty. It says :

" Nothstanding the exceptions, more than 1,200 per-
eons are liberated by the happy determination of the truly
generous heart of Pius IX. The proclamation of the Holy
Father, and the list of the persons amnestied, was posted up
yesterday evening at seven o'clock. Half an hour afterwards
the people crowded to the Quirinal, shouting Viva it Papa!
Viva Pio nono! Viva it nostro buon Papa? From half-
past seven to half-past nine, the crowd continued to increase
at the Quirinal and on the square of Monte CavallO, and the
Holy Father appeared, in conformity with the wish of the
people, three times at the Grand Balcony, from which he gave
each time his benediction, amidst the loudest and most en-
thusiastic acclamations. AtAbout ten o'clock an orchestra
VV43 COLAlratillg the at of
St?walla, in the church of the
1i
Madeleine. The crowd went ' ere, and requested thy mu3i-
-1 chins to leave the church an go to the Quirinal to perform
'in testimony of the joy of the people. At eleven o'clock the
square of Monte Cavalo and the environs of the Quirinal
were still filled with a compact crowd, whose acclamations
were incessant. The repeated cries of Viva Pio nono induced

the Pope to appear a fourth time in the balcony, notwith-
standing the lateness of the hour. The night was very dark,
but torches were burningin the balcony, and the populacehad
also lighted an immense number, so that every facewas visible,
and the effect was pleasing in a high degree. The musicians
and a portion of the crowd rema►ned under the windows
of the Qdrinal until after midnight. There were no guards
out, and yet not the slightest breach of order occured. The
city will be illuminated for several evenings in honour of this
great event. It is reported that the Pope will in a very few
days announce his decision as to the choice of a Secretary o,
State. The prevailing opinion is that Cardinal Gizzi will be
appointed to this important post, but many persons imagine
that the Pope, notwithstanding his wish to appoint Cardinal
Gizzi, will be compelled to yield to the influence of high per-
sonages, who are opposed to such a course. As to Cardinal
Lambruechini, it is said that he has lost all chance of being
made Secretary of State."

the atrocious one of naval impressment, a practice
repugnant alike to every feeling of justice and equity,
and injurious to the parties robbed of their liberty,
and subjected to the vile and brutalising lash. This
painful necessity (if it can be called a necessity) has
hitherto been occasioned by the want of a proper sys-

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the
20th instant. The Miguelite movement in the north
has been completely suppressed. The Septembrist
movement has, however, acquired increased force,
and Signor LOUREIRO, the Minister at War, whose
neglect of the claims of the officers who took part in
the movement at Almeida, in 1843, has been forced to
resign his portfolio to Viscount SA DA BANDEIRA.
The following is the composition of the new
Ministry :—Duke Dr, PALMELLA, President and
Minister of the kingdom ; Viscount SA DA BAN-
DEIRA, War ; Count DE LEVRADIO remains in the
Foreign Affairs; Senor AGuIAR, Justice; JULIO
GOMES, Finance; Mousisino, Marine.

tem of organisatimi by which a connexion between
the royal and the mercantile navy might be formed
and kept up, and the services of men who had once
served their country, who had been practised and
trained in naval tactics, whose proessional education
had been completed, and each of whom would be

more valuable than four of the untried men, who
could be procured even by impressment on any
occasion of emergency, might be readily and imme-
diately obtained. The Act for the general
register of seamen, although it is susceptible of and
requires much improvement, has proved a great
check upon desertion from the merchant service, but
it is not in that respect alone that it would be valu-
able. It would be the source and origin from which
they might, at a trifling expense, draw in time of
need, and, with a proper organisation, would form
a most powerful naval reserve. They would
always have at home trained sailors, ready
for the advance ships ; but, as the Hon.
Gentleman well remarked, there was in it too
much of mulct and penalty, too little inducement to
merit, and too little of permanent interest. It has been
the common mistake to attempt matters by coercion
which could be much more efficiently and usefully
done by kindness. We may hope that an alteration
will take place, and that a better mode of
treatment will henceforth be adopted to-
wards our hardy seamen—that steps will
be taken, to use the lion. Secretary's
own words, to recal and collect together those ele-
ments of strength now scattered over the whole globe.
By our own fault they are so scattered, and it is in
our power to recal them by devising a better mode
of treatment for the gallant men upon whom the
country must rely for its safety. What can be more
foolish, or ridiculous, or more injurious in its
effects, than the practice of discharging a whole
ship's company the moment she is paid off?
The consequences are most demoralising and in-
j arious to the men themselves—they are plundered
of their hard-earned wages by a set of harpies who
are in waiting, watching for the opportunity, and in
a few days are left in destitution, and obliged to seek
from other powers that employment which is
not afforded to them by their own country.
Thus their skill, training, and discipline is
lost to us, and transferred to other nations, by
whom it is more fully and correctly appreciated.
Would it not be far cheaper to retain those valuable
men in our own service, to give them a permanent
interest in their own country ? A certain number
could be kept always ready to supply any demand.
We sincerely trust that the present Board of Admi-
ralty will reorganise and systematise the great defen-
sive arrangements now in existence. We leave it in
their hands, and augur well of the result from the
fair promises held out.

The Hamburgh Correspondent publishes a letter
from Hanover of the 17th instant, which says—
" The King has been ill for the last week. Yesterday it
was reported that his disorder had assumed a serious charac-
ter, but we are disposed to believe that the report is un-
founded."

A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette states that
on the 18th the Second Chamber. of the States of
Hanover deliberated on the proposition of M. LANG,
respecting the duchies of Sleswick and Holstein. M.
DE KLENZE, one of the Ministers, maintained that
the Chamber could not interfere in the matter. Two
Members, MM. 110I'PENSTEDT and WACESMULEI,
opposed this opinion, and the Chamber 'at last passed
a vote declaring that " the States were fully con-
vinced that the Government would employ all its
efforts to prevent any attempt on the part of a foreign
power to meddle with the independence of the duchies
of Sleswick and Holstein."

in the midst of political discord, where it has been rather the
seduced than the seducer. It is for that reason that we
wish to stretch out the hand, and offer the peace.of the heart
to those misguided children who will evince sincere re-
pentance. Now that our good people have shown towards
us their affection, and their constant veneration for the Holy
See, and for our person, we are persuaded that we may par-
don without danger. We, therefore, ordain that the com-
mencement of our Pontificate shall be solemnised by the fol-
lowing act of sovereign grace :
" 1. There is granted to all our subjects who are
.undergo-
in punishment for political offences a remission of ,'their sen-
tences, provided that they snake in writing a solemn declara-
tion, on their honour, that they will not in any_ manner or at
tr,y time abuse this grace, and win for the future fulfil the

tries in oup.seqnence of political crimee, may profit by the

evening the inhabitants of Langley-court, Long-acre, were
thrown into consternation by a female infant, not quite
twelve months old, falling from the third floor front room
window of the house, No. 11, in that court. The child,
which is the youngest of eleven, was being r.ursed at the
time by a sister, when it sprang from her arms, or by some
accident dropped into the court below. In in descent the
child fell on the ledge, over the shop, by which the fall was,
in some measure, arrested ; but it was taken in a frightfully
mutilated state to King's College Hospital, without any
hopes of recovery.
