THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1846.

labours of the artisan by the construction of elaborate
machinery—orators, who have advocated the nation-
ality of justice—and warriors, who have preserved their
mother-land from invasion, have: all equally been
honoured by posterity by some appropriate monu•
ment. From the ancient days, celebrated by the
" Lays" of Mr. MACAULAY, when
There stood in the Commitium plain, for all folk to see,
The figure of Horatius, halting upon one knee ;"
down to the commemorative statue to WATT, or the
proposed testimonial to ROWLAND HILL and Father
MaTREw. It was for the avowed purpose of contri-
buting one other instance to the long and glorious cata-
logue of national gratitude to national benefactors that
a meeting was convened on Wednesday, by the Lord
Mayor, in the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion-house
The object of this assembly was simple it is true, but
it was to our thinking both beautiful and sublime
—namely, the raising of a memorial to the' late Mrs.
ELIZABETH Far, as a lasting token of admiration for
her character and of affection for her memory ! And
it was resolved, moreover, that this memento, to quote
the earnest language of the Bishop of NORWICH,
should not be "a tablet in a church, with an un-
meaning inscription—not a sarcophagus, or a
mausoleum—but one which should abide in
its effects long after marble had dwindled into dust ;"
namely, a temporary reception for repentant females
on their release from the metropolitan gaols; and
assuredly no more suitable manner of perpetuating
the name of that most excellent woman could possibly
have been devised ! The promoters of this enter-
prise, among whom we are gratified to per-
ceive many influential personages, deserve
every commendation for so appreciating the
worth of this celebrated Samaritan, whose name
must ever stand immeasurably above that of the
heartless charity-monger, Josisi HOWARD. And
while in this manner rendering a tribute to the cha-
racter of Mrs. FRY, a great blessing will be bestowed
upon the most helpless creatures in the community
those unfortunate females who, after undergoing
Imprisonment, are thrust forth, homeless and desti-
tute, into the byeways of this licentious capital, with
nothing whatever to preserve them from an irre-
parable profligacy. Their temptations are more deplor-
able than those which are customary in society ; the
sin to them is not masked by smiles or roses,
but is brazened before them amidst starvation,
and nakedness, and contumely. They emerge upon
the causeway before the prison gates ruined in repu-
tation; they are driven by poverty to the lowest dens
and the foulest rookeries in the metropolis; and
what with the contamination by which they are
encompassed, and the consciousness of their own im-
potency, their ruin is inevitable, and they become
abased from sinless women into harpies. It is fur
the protection of these wretched beings ; it is to swell
the number of honest citizens and to diminish the
victims of debauchery ; it is to promote virtue, and
by that means to assure happiness among hundreds
of our fellow-creatures, that the proposed asylum,
to be called " The Elizabeth Fry Refuge," is about
to be undertaken. And heartily do we conjure the
promoters of this noble scheme to persevere in their
endeavours, to allow their labours no flagging in-
terval, but so to combine and so to persist in the ad-
vocacy of the undertaking, that the asylum shall,
before many months have elapsed, flourish in some
suitable quarter of London, fructifying the germs of
morality which still remain in the bosoms of its in-
mates, and proving ',itself not wholly unworthy of
that distinguished lady from whom it will have
received its title. Nearly eleven thousand pounds
are still wanting to complete the funds which are
deemed requisite for the construction of the "Refuge,"
fifteen thousand pounds being estimated as the cost
of the building, and four thousand being the amount
of sovereigns already contributed. That eleven
thousand pounds will be collected, or we have mis-
taken the sympathies of humanity.

The report that the courier of the French Em-
bassy at Rome had been robbed of his dispatches, on
his way to France, is confirmed by the German
papers. These papers also announce that in Sep-
tember next the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA
and the King of PRUSSIA will meet at Vienna.

We have no intelligence from Lisbon of a later
late than that published yesterday. It appears that
the Ministers are directing their attention to the sub-
ject of financial reform, and they have issued a pro-
gramme, promising extensive retrenchments, and the
fulfilment, as far as possible, of the national engage-
ments. The foreign dividends are to be held invio-
lable under any circumstances.

Advices have been received from Madrid of the
11th of June. All places of_ public amusement were to
be closed for nine days in consequence of the death of
POPE GREGORY XVI. ; prayers are ordered to be
offered up for the election of a good Pontiff. It is
reported that Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA has commu-
nicated to the editor of the Clamor Publico the fol-
lowing letter addressed, in 1836, by QUEEN MARIA
CHRISTINA to her sister CARLOTTA LOUISA, the late
consort of the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA.

"My dear Louisa—l have received your dear letter, in
which you remind me of the conversations that have
often taken place between Ferdinand and us as to our
some day marrying your sons and my little girls. This
project has always pleased my heart, and I wish that
time had wings, in order that I might behold the accom-
plishment of that which has ever been the desire
and will of dear Ferdinand, which desire and will
I shall always endeaveur to realise, so far as I
can, ard the more so as I have always acknowledged the
real affection you feel for me and my little gills—an affection
which has made you reject all other matches. I also believe
that the national repre-entation, instead *opposing those
marriages, will approve of them, as being not only advan-
tageous to our family, but also to' the nation, seeing that
Spanish Princes are alone concerned in question. I shall not
fad to make the said proposal when the proper time comes for
it. Adieu, dear Louisa; accept, I beg you, your sister's sin-
cerest thanks, and for ever confide in my affection.
" Your sister and triend,
" MARIA CHRISTINA.
" Paris, Jan. 23, 1836."

On the festival of Corpus Christi the QUEEN went
in grand procession, accompanied by the authorities,
to the different churches in Madrid. It was ru-
moured that the Cortes would be dissolved in July,
and that the new Cortes would be summoned to meet
in October.

The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 11th, owing
to the Corpus Christi fetes.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.

The budget of the expenses relating to the French
consulships was voted on Monday, in the Chamber
of Deputies, after an endeavour, on the part of MM.
DE LAMARTINE, LEON DE MALLEVILLE, and Balt-
RYER, to get up a discussion on the subject of Syria.
The only reply which M. GUIZOT made to their
taunts was, "that he could add nothing to what 'he
had already stated. The discussion should certainly
take place, though not now; for the present time was
not a fitting one. At this moment a reorganisation was
being effected in the Lihanus, which tended to re-
place under the same power all the populations of the
mountain. It would he most unwise to run the risk,
by any premature discussion, of compromising the
arrangement in prospect, which would, he hoped,
restore peace and happiness to Syria. The efforts of
the French Government in this question might be
denied, but they were not questioned in Syria, or at
the propaganda of Rome. It would be an easy
matter for him to communicate letters to that effect,
but he should not do so ; next session all would be
arranged,
and M. DE MALLEVILLE would then him-
self perceive the error into which he had fallen."

of the submissions of tribes. Nothing certain vas
known of the movements of ABD-EL-KADER.
The Courrier Francais says—
"We are as,,ured that rizivernment has received from
Otaheite news of a most serious character. Several warm en-
gagements bad taken place between our soldiers and the
natives of the different islands, which M. Bruat had given
orders to occupy. But the most serious fact is the connivance
of the English missionaries, who covertly sent powder and
ammunition to the insurgents. .Several boxes of cartridges
concealed under Bibles and religious books were seized; and
the marks of English manuf 'ctories were equally found on
the muskets left on the field of battle by the natives. We
shall see what steps will be taken by Government in presence
of the constant renewal of such incidents.
Little or no business was done on the Bourse on
Tuesday, the specuL
otors lying by for the decision of

the douses of Parliament on the Corn-law and the
Coercion Bills.

MONEY and• COMMERCIAL NEWS
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 6,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were dull, and
not quite so gcod.
Much regret has been expressed in mercantile circles this
morning at the result of the notice of motion which stood
for discussion yesterday at the East India House in favour
of a testimonial being made to Lieutenant Waghorn for
his unwearied zeal and perseverance in originating and com-
pleting the overland route to India. It must not, however,
be assumed that this circumstance arose from any lukewarm-
ness on the part of the proprietors in awarding to this gen-
tleman the full meed of praise—and something more sub-
stantial to boot—by the notice having been dropped. The
fact, we believe to be this, the Honourable Proprietor
who gave notice of the motion, as well as many
others, anticipated a rather lengthened discussion upon
Mr. Poynder's resolution for the immediate abolition
of all anti-Christian rites in the East Indies. The
Hon. Proprietor, however, did not persevere in addressing
the Court at any length, and as Mr. G. Thompson, who had
two motions on the paper, could not attend from illness, the
Quarterly General Court, which is usually a "field day" for
proprietors, who like to see their names in print, was suddenly
brought to a termination by the motion of adjournment being
proposed and carried. We have reason to believe that the
subject will again be revived, and that Lieut. Waghorn's
claims will be elaborately and deservedly brought forward in
the ball of the East India House.
But a few private letters have come to band this morning
from the Brazils, brought by her Majesty's steamer Swift.
In trade at Rio Janeiro, as well as at Bahia, there does not
appear to be any marked features. A demand for bullion
for the interior and for the River Plate had sprung up. This
may account for the comparatively small amount of specie
that has been brought home on freight by the Swift packet.
The Consol Market is still flat. For the Account
the current value now is 951/8 rather buyers : for tba RP.
th. paitatltii• 1143 receded from 95%
to 95%; and the New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. from
971 to 96%. There has been a rally in the premium of
Exchequer-bills to 16s. Bank Stock has fallen from 206%
to 2051/2.
The only bargains worth notice in the Foreign Bonds to-
day are those in the Portuguese Four per Cents., at rates
fluctuating from 49 to 51, the present price being 50*.
The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents have been
sold at an improvement to 60 and Russian are at 109%,
and the Mexican Deferred at 164.
A pretty fair amount of business has been transacted in
Railway Shares and Scrips this morning ; but in prices the
changes since yesterday have been slight indeed.
