LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 27, 1850,

to the former. The Attorney- General yielded. He
intimated his intention of extending its pro-
visions, and such being the case, we have
no hesitation in saying that the Bill would
be the most useful to Ireland, and do more
to promote the welfare and restore the prosperity of
that-unhappy land of any that had been passed during
the present century. Every hope was indulged io
that it would pass into a law. Sed dies aliter visum
Ministers thought otherwise; and although an implied
pledge was given to intending purchasera that they
should be allowed to participate in its advan-
tages by the order of the Commissioners, that
they should be allowed to deposit on half the
purchase money, it has now been withdrawn with
many other valuable Bills, and her MAJESTY'S
Ministers have afforded new evidence of their " do-
nothing" propensities. We deeply regret this un-
toward result; we can, however, only express a hope
that Lord JOHN RUSSELL will fully redeem the
pledges given on Thursday evening, and that the
salutary measure may be introduced in an extended
form in the very commencement of the next session
of Parliament.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The split between the different portions_of the Re-
actionary faction is complete, and the differences are
now irreconcileable. War, open war, is declared be-
tween the PRESIDRiii and M. DE MONTALEMBERT
(who seems to have deserted the Legitimatist camp
and become Bonapartist), aided by the parti-pretre
on one side, and the Orleanists and other reactionary
sections of the Assembly on the other.

The election of the Committee of Permanence is
completed, and not one single Banapartist has been
enabled to secure his election. It was with
the utmost difficulty that the friends of
the PRESIDENT were enabled to prevent the
election of M. GREVY, the Socialist, and this
they could only accomplish by electing M. CRAM..
ROLLE the editor of L'Ordre, and the friend of M.
ODILON BAItROT, the denouncer of " the detestable
passions " which found refuge at the Elyse&
The article in the Moniteur du Soir, from which
we yesterday gave an extract, is known to have been
written by the PRESIDENT himself. On the subject
of this article the Patrie has the following :
" The portion of the Assembly which generally shows
itself so susceptible on the subject of its prerogative,
was to-day much moved by an article which had ap-
peared in the Mcniteur du Soir ; several Members, with
General de Lamoriciere at their head, were in favour of
submitting it to the judgment of the Assembly.
Other Members demanded that explanations should be
required of the Government as to the character of
the article. It appears, however, that neither of these
opinions prevailed, and the proposition of accusation
was renounced."

The PRESIDENT has gathered courage from this
hesitation on the part of opponents, and has published
an article in the Moniteur du Soir of Thursday of
even a more violent character than its predecessor.
The morning journals all comment upon this article.
The Assemblee Nationale, the Orleanist organ, boldly
denounces the PRESIDENT as the author, tells him he
attaches too great weight to his name, that he
will find Bonapartism is not a popular idea, and calls
for the immediate application of the law, requiring
writers in newspapers to attach their names to their
productions. The legitimatist Opinion Publique re-
minds the PRESIDENT that be is responsible for
his acts, and that the Assembly can, if it
chooses, not only stop all his supplies, but im-
peach him. It concludes by denouncing the
entourage of the Elpee as " a set of broken down
political gamblers who are trying another chance at
fortune."

The National and the Republican journals
are equal ly energetic in their denunciations of those
" who would fain make the first Magistrate of the
Republic a plagiarist of the conspirator of
Boulogne and Strasbourg, and his administra-
tion a conspiracy in permanence against the funda-
mental laws of the State." In another article the
-National, after quoting the PRESIDENT'S message of
the 3lst October, in which be declares that his Minis-
ters are the mere ministerial officers of his will, and
that, therefore, every proposition they make is to be
Considered as merely emanating from him, thus states
the acts for which the PRESIDENT iS, according to his
own showing, personally responsible.
"It is M. LOUIS BONAPARTE: who proposed and
caused to be voted the law which gives up public in-
struction exclusively to the Jesuits.
"It is M. LOUIS BONAPARTE who has proposed and
caused to be voted a law depriving 5,000,000 of
citizens-of their electoral rights.
" It is M. Lnurs BONAPARTE, who has permitted the
revolution of February, which opened to him the gates
of France, to be de flounced as a catastrophe.
"It is M. Louis BONAPARTE who, in the midst of the
public distress, has caused to be voted for himself a
dotation of 3,000,000 francs.

" It is 111. LOUIS BONAPARTE who has permitted
Russia to intervene in favour of Austria against
heroic Hungary."
The Minister of the Interior was yesterday called
before the Twelfth Committee of Parliamentary
Initiative, on the proposition of M. LEVERRIER,
that residence in the department in which the As-
sembly site should he interdicted to vagabonds and
mendicants, and also to those persons who, not
domiciled in the department, cannot justify their
means of existence. The Minister said that
he did not consider it opportune to take such a mea-
sure at present, as the capital is very tranquil. The
Committee accordingly, by 9 votes to 6, declared that
there was no reason to take the proposition into con-
sideration, and M. GRIMAULT was named reporter.
At the first sitting of the Council of Arrondisse-
ment of Chateauroux, three days ago, a vote was
passed, expressive ofja desire to see the Constitution
revised in the third year of the Legislature. Two of
the Members, MM. PATUREAU-FRANCCEUR and
DESMOUSSEAUX, protested, and gave in their resig-
nation.

The Marseilles journals announce that the police
prevented, on Sunday last, a Legitimatist banquet in
the environs of that city, which was to have been
presided over by M. DE LOURDIEUX. The Legiti-
matists were at table at a place called the Charbreux,
when the police ordered them to disperse. They then
went to a place called Monte Cristo, but were again
compelled to disperse.

THE REVOLT IN CEYLON.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into
the grievances complained of in Ceylon, in connexion
with the administration and government of that co-
lony, and to report their opinion whether any rnea-
sures can be adopted for the redress of any grievances
of which there may be shown just reason to
complain, and also whether any measures can be
adopted for the better adthinistration and government
of that dependency, and to whom the minutes of the
evidence and papers produced before the Select Com•
mittee on Ceylon in the last session of Parliament,
and the petitions presented to the House on the same
subject, were referred, and who were empowered to
report from time to time, have further considered the
matters referred to them, and have agreed to the fol-
lowing report :
"Your Committee deeply regret that the House did
not see fit to acquiesce in the recommendation sub
mitted by them, at the close of the last session, viz.,
that an humble address be presented to 11,r Majesty,
praying that she will be graciously pleased to appoint
a Comm'ssion to inquire on the spot into the mesns
taken for the repression of the late insurrection in
Ceylon.
" Your Committee also regret that notwithstanding
their utmost diligence and perseverance, they find them.
selves still una'Ae to mike a complete report upon some
of the various matters into which they were directed by
the House to inquire.

"Your Committee are of opinion that the serious
attention of her Majesty's Government should b: called
to the .evidence taken in the course of this inquiry, and
they recommend that a Royal Commission should be
appointed to proceed to Ceylon, to ascertain what
changes may be necessary for the better government of
that colony, unless some step should forthwith be taken
by the Government which may obviate the necessity of
further investigation.
" July 24, 1550."

FRENCH PLAYS.—ST. JAMES'S.
Last evening Mr. Mitchell brought a highly succesful
season to a close with Corneille's chef d'cevre of Les
Horacf s. The personation of one of the ereatest
charact3rs of the French stage by the greatest of all
French actresses is familiar to the London public, as
being a prominent feature of Madlle. Rachel's last visit
to the metropolis. To say, then, that Rachel equalled
herself in her performance of last evening is to give the
highest commendation that we feel capable of giving:
Suffice it, then, that the favourite " points" told as usual
upon an enthusiastic audience ; that her tenderness had
lost nothing of its charm, and her celebrated maledic-
tion upon Rome, beginning
" Rome, je vous hiiis" !
lost nothing of its terrific grandeur. Nor could any-
thing exceed the excitement of the audience, at the end
of the fourth ace, with which, a, at the Theatre Francais,
the piece concluded. Twice was the great tragedienne
recalled, to receive the homage of her admirers, ex-
pressed as usual by " bravas" without end, and bouquets
without number. The principal character was, on the
whole, very,remectably supported, though the celebrated
" Qu'il mourie passed off without its wonted effect in
the hands—or we should rather say the mouth—of M.
Cheri. Madlle. Daltrey, as Sabine, the wife of Horace,
was all that could be desired. Between the tragedy and
Les Rivaux D'eux-minzes, which preceded it, the National
Anthem was sung by the whole strength of the company,
" assisted by English artistes."

CABINET COUNCIL.— THIS DAT).—A Cabinet
Council was held at one o'clock this afternoon at the Foreign-
office. There were present the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord
John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Grey, the Marquis of
Clanricarde, the Earl of Minto, Viscount Palmerston, Sir
George Grey, Sir John C. Hobhouse, Sir. F. T. Baring, the
Right Hon. H. Labouchere, and the Right Hon. Fox Mettle.
Lord John Russell will leave town after the Council for
Pembroke Lodge, Richmond Park. The Privy Council for
the Prorogation of Parliament will be held, it is expected,
Lt Osborne in a fortnight.
SCOTTISH MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.—A great
gathering is expected cn Monday evening, at Crosby Hall,
at the Scottish Musical Entertainment, to be given by the
celebrated singer of Scottish melodies, Mr. Cooper. Several
of the Highlanders, who were at Holland-park, are expected
to be present in full costume, and between the parts of the
concert the celebrated " Sword Dance" will be performed.

VISIT OF THE NEPAUL ENVOY TO CREMORNE
GARDENs.—It having been announced that his Excellency
would visit Cremorne-gardens yesterday, a great concourse
of people were assembled in the grounds to see him. The
proprietor of the place, Mr. Simpson, bad provided a
steam-boat for his accommodation, by which he and his
brothers and a very numerous suite of attendants, &c.,
after having gone higher up the river to the Thames
regatta, were brought about five o'clock from Richmond-
terrace to the landing-place at Cremorne. his Excel-
lency landed amidst the shouts of the spectators, the
noise of small pieces of artillery, and the music
of a large band of musicians, and was escorted
by the proprietor over every portion of the gardens. He
visited the American giant, who arrived just in time for
the interview, wandered through the maze, discoursed by
means of the interpreter with the double-sighted boy, en-
gaged personally in shooting in the archery-ground and in
the rifle-gallery, showing considerable skill in the use both
of the bow and the rifle, and appeared to take great interest
in the fencing and cudgel matches, and the various gymnastic
and military exercises. At seven o'clock, the balloon with
Mr. Gale and his friends in a steamer, made its appearance
at Battersea• bridge, and was safely landed in the balloon-
ground, after passing over the walls and trees. His Excel-
lency, his brothers, and suite, interpreter, and attendants,
then left for town in carriages, after having expressed the
gratification thEy felt at the variety of sights, and the exhibi-
tions of strength and agility. The gardens about eight
o'clock were beginning to look bright with the numerous
lamps and illuminated devices, and hundreds were flocking in
to witness the night ascent of Mr. Gale and the pyrotechnic
wonders of the place.

THE STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION AT BRISTOL After
an inquest, which has lasted far several days, on the unfortu-
nate sufferers in this dreadful accident, which has been at-
tended with such fearful loss of life, and the particulars of
which we have already given in other impressions of our
paper, the Coroner's jury, in the case of the unfortunate
sufferers who died immediately, viz., Isaac West, Robert
Pavey, Samuel Jefferies, Henry Starr, Susan Fulford, and
Mary Ann Fulford, came to the following verdict—" That
the said parties were accidentally killed by the explosion of
a boiler of a steam-engine on board the Red Rover, and that
the said boiler was at the time unfit for use." And the
jury on the second inquest, on four others of the sufferers
whose bodies lay at. the. Infirmary, viz.—William Nicholas,
the engineer; Charles Keating, musician ; William Cooper,
ci
master ; and William Brewer, tobacconist, brought
dinanthentgollowing verdict : —" That the deceased persons died
from injuries occasioned by the accidental explosion of the
boiler of a steam-engine on board the Red Rover steam-
packet, while lying in the tipper-lock of Cumberland-basin ;
and this jury are of opinion that the owner ought not to have
used the said boiler."

PROTECTIONIST DEMONSTRATION IN SUFFOLK.—
Stowwarket was on Thursday made the scene of a Protec-
tionist demonstration, in the shape of a dinner. Covers
were laid for 800 persons. Mr. Waddington, M.P., took the
chair in the room of Lord Faversham (confined by the gout),
and supported by Mr. Bennett, M.P., Mr. Gooch, M.P., Mr.
Ferrand, Mr. G. F. Young, and several of the local gentry
and clergy. After the dessert, the business of the evening
commenced, and the usual complaints of the Protectionists
followed. 1,020 bottles of wine were distributed amongst
the distressed agriculturists, and 1,020 voices joined in three
times three to the health of her Majesty, and in the Na-
tionalafterward the words, " Confound their
Anthem
politics, frustrate their knavish tricks," being evidently used
afterwards,
in a double sense. Mr. Young and Mr. Ferrand were the
chief speakers.

M. Raphael, Madame Rachel, and the whole of
the French corps, from the Theatre Royal, St. James's, left
London early this morning (Saturday), direct for Ham-
burgh, en route for Berlin, by the General Steam Navigation Company's ship Princess Royal.

property to a large amount, mostly uninsured. The Fire
Russian Insurance Company Insurance Companies lose, we blieve, but little—the First or
but this is uncertain as yet. The fire was burning bright at
midnight, and though completely got under, is yet scarcely
extinguished. Had the wind been north, the Tallow Wharf
and the adjoining Government wharfs would probably have
gone."
SUNDAY AT THE Mom—John Thomas, full pri-
vate of the 190th Greens, and a Sabbath man to the back
bone, thinks his a partic'larly hard case. Lord Ashley (and
may he never be a Cabinet-made Minister, because as I read
t'other day at the Warrior's Gate tap, all Cabinet-made
Ministers are to have their letters delivered to 'em on Sun-
days, whether they will or no) - Lord Ashley has stopped
Sunday labour at the Post-office, though they do say the
labour's to begin agin, but that's not it. Lord Ashley is
asked to look at the Sunday labour in the army, and most
partic'larly at the beknighted state of the loyal 190th Greens
at present doing duty at the Queen's Mint. For
the last three Sundays, have I, John Thomas,
full-private and cetera, been upon guard as sentry
during the very hours of forenoon church. Here
have I been walking up and down, bugging Brown Bess—
(which, if it come to fighting they'd maks me load with
ball, and fire away upon the Sabbath, thick as pepper)—
here have I, on Sunday, been guarding the Mint, and there-
fore, in a manner in which there can be no mistake about it,
serving Mammon, while all the post-offices is shut, and Lord
Ashley, in his Sunday pew, blessing himself for the post-
offices being at church. Now, I put it to Lord Ashley whe-
ther the souls of the loyal 190th Greens are not to be cared
for by Parliament House as well as the souls of postmasters
and missusses? And why should the army do duty on Sun-
days ('specially at the Mint, where is the root of all evil)
when, as Lord Ashley can prove as well as he's proved the
wickedness of Sunday letters, that on Sunday even the Army
of Martyrs was made and intended to do nothing but stand
at- ease ? Punch.
11ING's COLLEGE.—The annual distribution of
prizes at this college trek place yesterday, in the presence of
a numerous assembly of visitors. The chair was to have
been taken by Sir R. IL Inglim, M.P., but owing to the cir-
cumstance of the Hon. Gentliman being unavoidably de-
tained in the House of Commons, the proceedings were pre-
sided over by the Rev. J. S. .Anderson, Master of Lincoln's
Inn. As on former similar occasi ars, a number of recitations,
selected from the ancient and modern cUssics. were delivered
by some of the principal students, and, speaking generally,
in proportion as these could be appreciated by the atiaime,
was the applause warm and general.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Tha siles of Cotton at Liverpool yestt-rdiy were esti-
mated at 6 000 bales. The market was quiet.—Railway
Shares were firmer.

The weekly statement of the Bank of England, made
up to the 20th inst , exhibits the same tendency as the
previous return, and doubtless from the same causes, viz.
the dividend payments. The notes out with the public
show a decided increase, and the repayment of loans
upon other securities cause a decrease in them. The
withdrawal of public deposits was continued, and there
was a reduction likewise in the private deposits. In a
week or two we may expect other causes to act upon the
items of the banking account, and prominently the
harvest. Compared with the previous week the changes
are as follow:

The negotiation of Bills of Exchange was effected
yesterday afternoon at rather lower rates upon some of
the continental cities. Paper, dated 90 days, was taken
at 25 60 to 65 on Paris, at 13 11 to 114 on Hamburgh.
25 60 to 65 on Antwerp, 12 24 to f on Amsterdam, 120 i
to 4 on Frankfort, and 11 50 to 55 on Trieste.
After considerable delay, a very important Bill for
Post-office reform has been brought before the Canadian
Legislature, and some of its provisions seem to be ob-
jectionable. The Act relates only to the postal depart-
ments within the province, all of which are placed under
provincial control. The provincial postage on letters
and packets nut consisting of newspapers and pamphlets
is to be 3d. per half-ounce, and no transit postage
is to be charged on any letter or packet
parsing to any other colony in British North
America, unless posted and pre-paid in Canada,
nor on any letter from any such colony, if pre-paid there.
Twopence sterling per half-ounce, to remain as regards
letters by British mails, unless the Imperial Government
see fit to change it to 3d. pre-payment optional. Pro-
vincial postage to be retained by the province where it is
paid. British postage to be paid over to the imperial
authorities. Franking abolished. Stamps for pre-pay-
ment to be prepared. The provincial postage on news-
papers, &c., shall remain.as it is, until aL ered under au-
thority of this Act. " Such postage shall not be raised,
but may be diminished." If the other British American
colonies lessen their postage in any case, such postage
only, unless pre-paid, shall be payable in Canada.
Objection is made to the following provito:—
" If any letter or packet be refused, or if the party to
whoM it is addressed cannot be found, then such postage
shall be recoverable—from the sender of such letter or
packet—with costs by civil action, &c."
In looking over the rail% ay traffic returns of the week
we are gratified to notice the fact that they maintain
generally the improvement observable for some time
past. The South-Western and Great Western have each
benefitt( d by the agricultural show at Exeter, but the
Taff Vale and the Bristol and Exeter exhibit the most
txtraordinary improvement, viz., from 4,5741. to 8,1261.
This is an increase if 3,5521., and it is curious to remark
that the Eastern Counties last year, during the corres-
ponding week, when the show was held at Norwich,
took 4,0731. more, having no rival lines to compete with
in that quarter. The lines dependent on business traffic
are doing well likewise. The Midland has increased
1.5351., and the North-Western 3,6211. The Irish and
Scotch lines ate doing pretty well, and on the French
railroads there are increased takings. The summing up
of such favourable data should tiling out larger divi-
dends, if the gap occasioned by former extravagance and
mismanagement had not to be made good.
The quantity of silver ezportei from Landon this
week has been 14.000 ounces to Belgium.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts state
that a fair business was doing, though scarcely so much
'as last week. The decline in the Cotton Mai ket has
rather checked purchases.
The Funds have been rather heavy, but there is no po-
sitive alteration in prices. Consols have realised 96i
fur Transfer, and 96i for Account. Exchequer-bills have
been 675. to piemium. Bank Stock has been firm
at 212. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 92 to
The Foreign Securities have been dull. Portuguese
Five per Cents. have realized 33i, Mexican 294, and
Brazilian Small 294. Nothing has been done in Spanish.
Equador Bondy are 3i. Dutch Four per Cents. have
been 891.
Railway Shares are looking well generally. North-
Western are rather higher, and also South-Western.
The Foreign Lines are steady.

Tun KING'S.-ROAD.—We have reason to believe
that the question between the Marquis of Westminster and
the trustees of the Grosvenor-place district, relative to the
repair of the King's-road, will be settled in an amicable
manner. The Noble Marquis will, it is understood, contri-
bute the sum of 1,000/. cowards the repair of the road, and
grant during his life, for the benefit of the trust, the use of
a wharf which adjoins the office of the trustees. We sin-
cerely congratulate the inhabitants of the district at this
happy termination of a dispute that had already been the
source of so much discomfort and annoyance to_them and the
public.

SHREWSBURY AND LEICESTER RAILWAY.—Yester-
day the Master in Chancery
.Senior proceeded with the wind-
ing up and settlement:of the list of shareholders liable, a num-
ber of whom contended that as they bad already, in reply to
an application from the provisional committee, paid ss. per
share to discharge liabilities, and had received back their
letters of allotment, they ought in fairness to be exonorated
from any further call, and that those allottees who had not
paid the ss. should now be called on to do so. His Honour
the Mas er held that, under the Act, the very fact of their
having made this payment ren.!ered them recognisable as
members or contributories of the company, and that as such
theyimust be placed upon the list. In the case of those who
"wrote threatening letters," and had their deposits returned,
his Honour held that the committee of management, all of
whom were included in the list, had no right to return the
money, and they were likewise Axed upon the list.
