was in communication with him, and only for the

dated Berlin, July 11, in the evening, says—" Semi-
official journals declare in decisive terms that Chevalier
BUNSEN did not participate in the Lon-ion protocol,
but that he remonstrated from the very first against
it, and refused to attend the conferences. In the pro-
ject of a protocol published by the Allgemeine Zeitung
of Augsburg, the plenipotentiaries are mentioned who
were to have participated, but not not those who did
participate in it."
The Hamburgh papers publish the following pro-
clamation, which the Stadtholders of Schleswig and
Holstein have addressed to the inhabitants of those
duchies :

Post•office regulation—(Laughter)—by which there
would be a day's delay, he would receive from him a
full statement of his doubts and the amendments he
proposed, on Monday, but on Tuesday he would re-
ceive that statement." We trust that these
accumulating evidences of the mischievous nature of
the alterations introduced in compliance with the
crotchets of the Judaizing Ssbbatarians will produce
their effect on the Government, and that to-morrow
will be the last Sunday of which the " bitter" ob-
&ervance will be enforced.

" SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEINERS.
" The Crown of Prussia has made peace with Den-
mark. We inform ybu of this fsct. The treaty of pace
contains a recognition of our right, while the protection
of those rights is freely left to the duchies. Our task is
great and honourable, and the sound and honest sense
of the duchies is a guarantee that they will be worthy
of it. Schleswig, though in great anxieties, shall not
want our protection. We are not averse tr) a peaceable
solution of the question; we repeatedly offered it; but if
Denmark must needs have war she shall find us pr«
pared. Any Danish invasion of Schleswig., no matter
under what pretext, w,ll meet with opposition; for our
army is etrong and eater for the field. They will com-
bat and remember the glorious victories of our fore-
fathers f,r the old rights of the country. The Stadt-
holders stand by those rights and by their legitimate
Sovereign.

It is noble in an individual to devote his time, his
talents, and his purse to the service of mankind; it
is no less noble in those who have marked his long
and disinterested labours to come forward and show
that he has commanded their sympathies and their
admiration, ar d to put him in possession of some tes-
timonial that shall transmit to future generations the
knowledge of the fact that the public benefactor was
not forgotten. It has been our happiness to be called
to witness both these gratifying spectacles. For fifteen
years a gentleman, whose professional acquirements, if
directed solely to the advancement of his own benefit,
would have secured him by this time a high
position and an ample income, has gene-
rously consecrated his powers to the work
of exposing and removing a disgraceful and I
demoralising nuisance—that of annually putting be-
neath
a thin surface of already poisoned earth tens of
thousands of dead bodies, to diffuse in the process of
corruption a pestilential miasma to be inspired by •
the busy millions of this great city. The toils—fur
years unnoticed—and which when first observed were
met with the stern opposition of those who, deeming
their craft in danger, ceased not to denounce the in-
termeddler in their unholy pursuits, and to cry out
" Great is Diana of the Ephesians "—these toils, we
say, at length awoke a slumbering city to its danger,
and at last compelled a reluctant Government to at-
tend to what should ever be its first duty—the care of
thepublic health. Our readers will before this have syl-
labled the name we are about to write, that of GEORGE
ALFRED WALKER. The recent legislation on the subject
of burial in towns has directed all eyes to the merito-
rious pioneer in this cause of sanitary reform ; and
our paper of Thursday shows that the apostle of l
purity, of decency, and of morality, will in due time
receive in some substantial form a suitable memorial
of the admiration and gratitude he has so richly me-
rited. We cordially join in the proposed testimonial, l
and can sincerely say, Palmam qui meruit ferat,

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Assembly has confirmed its resolution of in-
sisting on the publication of the name of the author of
each article which may appear in a journal.
The hatred ill-suppressed hitherto of the Legiti-
matists and parti-pretre to the Press, has at length burst
forth, and journals and journalists of all shades and opi-
nions are denounced from the tribune in language such
as the leaguers were wont to apply to the Huguenots

Just previous to that massacre of St. Bartholomew':,
of which M. DE FALLOUZ is the apologist, and M.
DE MONTALEMBERT the justifier. The Journal des
Debats commences its premier Paris in these words :
—" We were wrong in reckoning on the intelligence
or on the equity of our Legislators become our
judges." After stating the result:of the vote on the
amendment of M. TINGUY, the Debats proceeds :
"We have heard a war-cry from the tribune against
the press, as an odious rival and enemy. What
strange preoccupation what strange blindness
of parliamentary self-love and vanity !" This
war-cry was raised by M. DE LABOULIE,
one of the most bigotted instruments of the parti -
pretre. "We must finish with journalism," ex-
claimed this worthy representative of the ignorant old
noblesse, " we must destroy journaliism as we have
destroyed the barricades." Thus, says the Debate, the
work attempted two years since by M. LEDRU ROLLIN
and M. PASCAL DUPEAT is accomplished by the
party of order
It is almost amusing to hear the maniacal cries of
these descendants of the old French aristocracy for
the destruction of every person and of every thing
that they dislike or fear—it would really seem as if they
were anxious to furnish an expost facto !justification of
the conduct of ROSESPIBRRE, who defended the reign
of terror as an act of self-defence, because the nobles,
unless exterminated, would extirminate everybody
else.

include the dividend payments, and the changes, there,

had resulted from the withdrawal of deposits, and the

The affairs cf Messrs. Trueman and Cook have been
winding up most favourably, aNd the following commu-
nications redound greatly to the credit of the firm and
to the ability of Mr. Coleman, the accountant:—
" We have been directed by the inspectors of the affairs
of Messrs. Trueman and Cook to submit to your consi-
deration a copy of the report which is enclosed, and
which embodies the recommendation which we are au-
thorised to bring under the notice of the creditors.
" This report was, shortly after its date, submitted to
the Bank of England ai the largest creditors; and we
have to inform you that we have received a letter from
the Bank, dated this day, which conveys to us the ac-
quiescence of the Bank in the arrangement proposed by
the inspectors.
" We shall be glad to be informed whether you concur
with the Bank, so that the arrangement may at once be
carried into effect.

" We feel it due to Mr. Cook to add our testimony to
the services and attention which he has rendered to the
estate, although by the inspectorship deed he has bee❑
virtually discharged from all the liabilities of the late
firm since January, 1848.
" We beg further to state that we have a copy of Mr.
Coleman's report to the Bank, which is open to your
perusal whenever it may suit you to call here. And we
understand that the original is alio at the Bank, and
will be shown to any creditor who may prefer to apply
there.—We are, your obedient humble servants,
(Signed) '6 OLIVERSON, DENBY, and LAME.
" Frederiek's-place, 11th July, 1850."
A meeting ti the creditors of Messrs. D. Brag-
gictti and Co., whose failure was mentioned on the 26th
ult., took place on Thursday, when, after the examina-
tion of a balance-sheet prepared by Mr. J. E. Coleman,
it was unanimously agreed to liquidate the estate under
a deed of inspectorship. The statement presented
showed that the gross liabilities amounted to 113,0001.,
which will be reiuced by securities held and bills ex-
pected to run off to eviout 30,0001. The greater part of
the assets being produce, it is hoped that it good market
prices are realised a dividend of 4s. 6d. or si. may be
eventually distributed.

The exports of Bullion from London this week have
been confined to silver, and amount to 106,780 ounces,
chiefly to Belgium and Hamburgb.

that business was good both in Woollen and Cotton
fabrics.
