which will at least achieve one great object, that it
will procrastinate and delay the proceedings, so that
the supplies may be all voted, and Parliament pro-
rogued, before a new election for the city of London,
when the triumphant return of Baron LIONEL DE
ROTHSCHILD for the third time would afford a grand
moral demonstration which would not be slighted or
despised. Perhaps the rather significant hint of the
Hon. and Gallant Gentleman the Member for Mid-
dlesex had no trifling effect in producing this further
postponement.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Assembly on Monday disposed of all the arti-
cles of the budget of expenses, and voted the budget
as a whole by a majority of 243, the numbers being,
Ayes, 398 ; Noes, 155.
The Aloniteur du Soir publishes the following an-
nouncement :

" The nub-committee appointed by the committee on
the budgot has made As report on the subject of con-
ceding the working of the Paris and Lyons Railway to a
company. The report recommends the concession on
the following conditions: Ninecy-nine years' lease;
guarantee of 4 per cent, for 60 years on the capital ex•
pended ; the capital fixed at a maximum of 190 millions;
division of the profits with the state over and above 8
per cent.; reimbursement to the state of 65 millions, fif-
teen in cash and fifty in annuities, with interest. The
above only relates to the line from Paris to Lyons. The
state to commence immediately the works on the Lyons to
Avignon Riilway. The Minister will demand a credit of
18 millions on the estimates of the year 1850, and a simi-
lar credit on the succeeding one, for the works of that
important portion which will join the Ocean to the
Mediterranean. M. Vitet has been named reporter,
and will at the next sitting communicate to the Assem-
bly the resolution of the Committee, which is favourable
to the adoption of the Government Bill. The Assembly
will. then decide as to the urgency of the measure,
and whether it will or will not be discussed before the
propagation."
It is announced that General LAMORICIERE will be
one of the candidates for the Presidency in 1852.
The Minister of the Interior laid on the table 'of
the Assembly yesterday a Bill for regulating the
National Guards. He did not explain the details of
his measure.

The Government has received the following dis-
patch from the French Minister, dated Athens, 18th
instant!—

" Monsieur le Ministre,—l have the honour to in-
form you that the convention agreed upon between
the Cabinets of Paris and of London, and destined to
put an end to the differences between Greece and
Great Briatain, has just been signed in my presence
by the Minister of her Britannic Majesty and the Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs of King Ottio. Immediately
after the signature M.•Londos declared to Mr. Wyse
that he was authorised to say that his-Hellenic Majesty
would ratify the convention. I will send yon by the
next courier a copy, signed and ratified, of the conven-
tion in question.
(Signed) " THOUVENEL."

"At the commencement of the engagement the left
wing was very severely pressed, bet thtl Pknet
threw all their force on our ctritte, Arhich, after a most
obstinate contest, at; at length compelled to retreat
in the direction of Schleswig, the right wing
alto accompanying it, but maintaining the same
relative position to the centre at six. o'clock in the
evening as at six in the morning. Ater the retreat of
the centre, which defended itself with the utmost bra-
very, the left wing also commenced a retrograde move-
ment, covering the retreat. The cavalry is said to have
been but little engaged, and to have lost only three men.
"The following infantry officers are among the killed:
—Major Brunckhof ; Lieutenants liallerstein, Walters-
dorf, Liaseler, and Sander.
" And the following are among the wounded:—Major-
General Baudissin (slightly); Major Lutnw (slightly).
Captains: Unruh, Boner, and Carrel. Lieutenants:
Schnobel, Hilliger, budding, Wiling, and Jenner.
"The infantry took off their knapsacks, &c, to enable
them to fight the easier, and having saved the whole of
their baggage, it will et once be seen with what admir-
able order the retreat must have been conducted.

We find the following in the Siecle, on the subject
of the differences which are said to have existed be-
tween the Minister of War and General Crux-
GARNIER :—" Die general subject of conversation in
the lobbies, arid on the benches of the majority is a
very remarkable report, which has, it is said, been
drawn up by General PREVAL and presented to the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, at the request of the
latter. M. Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, tired, it
is said, of the interminable differences and perpetual
conflicts which arise between General CRANGARNIER
and the Minister of War, requested General PaEVALto
submit a report to him in which the respective positions
of the Minister of War and of the Commandant of the
Army of Paris should be clearly defined according to
the laws and regulations of the army, as well as to mi-
litary traditions. The report of General PRETAL is
said to be a complete treatise on the matter, deve-
loped with all the authority of science and of long
experience. The conclusions, if we may credit the
reports, which have reached us, are not at all favourable
to the exorbitant pretensions of General CHANGAR-
NIER, and the PRESIDENT iS said to have been
touched at the arguments on which the experienced
author of the report has founded his opinion. We
would not dare to affirm that the communication of
this important document will cause any modification
whatever in the hierachic relations of the Minister of
War and General CHANGARNIER, but it would be to be
regretted it this important work of General PREVAL
were to remain shut up in the cartons and not to be
made use of to enlighten public opinion on such a
delicate and complicated point."
The Legitimatists are very active in their endea-
vours to procure the restoration of HENRI V., and do
not scruple openly to avow their intentions.
A letter from Toulon, of the 25th, says :—" The
day before yesterday the Grondeur steamer arrived
from Civita Vecchia with dispatches from the com-
manding officer of the French ships in that port for
the Maritime Prefect. The squadron has, as you
know, quitted Naples, and the most conflicting sur-
mises are afloat on the subject. Some persons send
it into the Tagus, others to Tunis, and what gives
some air of probability to the latter supposition is, the
departure of the Chimere for Tunis, with a large
quantity of provisions and stores. The most generally
received opinion is that the French fleet has put to sea
to exercise the crews, half of whom are composed of
newly-raised levies, and. that when the exercises are
over it will return to Toulon to revictual, unless any
unforeseen incident should imperiously call for its
presence elsewhere.

"The troops evacuated Schleswig, and commenced

songs." _ _

_
The Cologne Gazette says the " cause of Schles-
wig- Holstein is by no means desperate. An army of
25,000 good troops is concentrated at Wittensen.
VON DER TANN is also at the head of 16,000 men in
Angelo. The cannon from Eckenforde has been
transported to Rensburgh. It is feared that Kiel
will be exposed to an attack by land, on the part of
the Danes. The Gefion is still in the bands of the
Prussians, and appears out of danger. Among the
Danish prisoners is Colonel BAGGESEN. It is said
that VON DER TANN, GERHARD, and even General
WILLISEN are slightly wounded."
The Danes are in complete possession of Schleswig,
but bad not crossed the Eider to invade Holstein
when the last accounts left.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived.
Lord HOWDEN was expected to arrive in Madrid
on the following day.
The Heralds of Madrid, of the 25th, says that,
during the QUEEN'S illness, the Queen of ENGLAND
sent frequently to the Spanish Ambassador at Lon-
don to inquire after her MAJESTY. The Gazette
contains a Royal decree ordering that for the future
the supreme tribunal of the army and navy shall con..
sist of six generals and two -admirals. A Valentia
journal announces that a man named Boy, a noted
chief of Montemolinist bands, had been arrested in that
city, whilst endeavouring to raise a new band. The
25th being a fete day, the Stock Exchange was not
open.

The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of
,the 28th contains
the following:—
"As the general in command has not yet been able to
send in a detailed account of the battle of the 25th, the
undersigned makes known the following:—
"Our whole army (the Schleswig-Holstein army)
holds a concentrated position: all reports of daub-
ments being cut off are false. The losses sustained will
be made good in such manner by the reserve battalions,
organised for this purpose some weeks since, that in a
few days the army will be stronger than it was before
the battle of Idstedt.

"The courage of the army is unabated. We look
confidently forward to decisive events.
(Signed)

" KROHN.

"Kid, July
From this warlike proclamation it appears that
hostilities will be resumed, which must eventually lead
to the entrance of the Danes into Holstein.

A telegraphic dispatch, dated Berlin, July 29,
says:--

" We are assured that negotiations are on foot for a
prolongation of the time allowed for the ratification of
the peace of 2d July."

Another telegraphic dispatch, dated Hamburgb,
July 29, in the evening, says :

" There is nothing new from the scone of war, if we
except an unimportant skirmish of cavalry at the out-
posts. The troops are in excellent spirits, but the want
is felt of a sufficient number of officers."

MON)Y and CON.TATERQIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 20,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were
taken for export, and 5,000 American, 600 Brazil, 1,000
Egyptian, and 1,000 Surat on speculation. The market
cloned firmly with Atnerinti fully ti. to d., Wnd Surat
id. per lb. higher, and other descriptions at fell rates.
rho sales comprised 14,000 American, 1,200 Pernam
and Maranham, at fild. to Bii; 200 Bahia, at 80. to
3/1 ; 150 Egyptian, at. 8/1 i. to 10d.; 2,000 Surat, at 6,14
to 6id. per lb.—ln Railway Shares an increased business
was dune, and prices generally were looking up.
The advices by the Overland are still in much the
same strain as for the last month or two in reference to
commercial matters. There is an excessive supply of
textile goods In all the presidencies, and still the ar.•
rivals continue. It is true that an improvement is anti-
cipated, but this is contingent on a favourable season fir
the agriculturists, and it is doubtful whether the
exhaustion of the stocks in the interior will not
be immediately provided for by the accumulations
in the different capital cities. Money seems easy, and
Cotton, which had been firmer, was slightly tending
downwards, owing to less favourable news from Chin ‘.
The Indigo crops promised fairly, although dry weather
was needed. At Calcutta, just bef)re the mall left, the
lower prices accepted for imports rather stimulated the
demand, but the season gill not be remunerative to the
importers. _ _

In the Amsterdam market on Monday Dutch Stock
was firm. The Two-and-a-Heif per Cents. have been
571. Spanish Five per Cents. were lower, but the
Three per Cents. were supported. Portuguese Bonds
were very firm, and in request.
Rumour is busy as to the precise objects for which the
meeting of Mexican bondholders is convened, and it
would seem that almost every ono thinks the unfortunate
creditors are lair game for their assaults. It is said that
Colouel Facio objects to sign over the money in the
Bank of England for the payment of part of a dividend,
until Messrs. Schneider deliver up all the books in their
pessession; but we should think the ostensible reason
must be that the agreement is not yet ratified,
by the Mexican Congress. The representative in Lon-
don of Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh also feels an•
noyed, it is reported, becauSe of the resolution passed by
the bondholders to discontinue sub-agencies in Mexico,
and the non-recognition of the services which the firm is
stated to have rendered fur several years. It is just pos-
sible, therefore, that failing to receive the compliments, a
claim may be advanced for more substantial recom-
pense, in the shape of commission due, au unpleasant
contingency, -if there, -, be. no bargain with the
house that would vitiate such claim. As to
M. Escandon and the cotton licences, he may give
up or not those that he still holds, and pay the balance
for such as have been made available; but unluckily
that gentleman is said to be under heavy advances to
Mr. W. P. Robertson for the expenses of his mission,
and being indebted also to Messrs. Manning and
Mackintosh for tobacio duties, may use every exertion
to liquidate his own demands. Whether he can do so
legally is another Tastier]. M. Rolarte, the
Court broker, about whom we have heard so
much, has drawn upon Mr. W. P. Robertson
his first bill fur 5001., part of, about 4,0001. which the
latter agreed with him should be awarded as a commis-
sion upon the indemnity money, for the exertions and
influence of M. Rolarte. This is certainly a strange
way of. doing business. Not a sixpence of the indem-
nity
,money has been received, and yet is a claim made
for commission upon it, and upon the untenable
ground, that if the. bondholders had at once ac-
cepted the convention, it would have been ra-
tified by the Mexican Congress, and that its
not having been carried out is no fault of the bargain-
makers. Mr. Robertson, as we hear, has sent the bill
to the committee to be •honoured, but fortunately M.
Robarts has, we believe, no funds in band belonging to
the bondholders that he'can appropriate to pay himself,
otherwise he would doubtlesss follow the example of all
the rest engaged in this miserable business. Finally, as
to the mode in which M. Falconnet'a expenses are to be
met. It will be necessary, it is said, that the bond-
holders should give some undertaking, and then the
amount will be advanced by a leading firm here.
The Funds are very firm again, but not brisk. Con-
sols have realised 96/ to 97 for Transfer, and 964 to 974
for Account. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents.
are 994 to 991. East India Stock has been quoted 270
to 271. The premium on Exchequer•bills is 675. to 70s.
In the Foreign Market there is' more life. The
arrangement of the account has its effect. Mexican has
touched 294 and 30. Peravhin Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. are steady at 83. Chilian Bonds have been at
103. Spanish Three per Cents. are 371, and Portuguese
Four per Cents. 34 to 34/.
Shares are still improving. North-Western, Great
Western, Midland, and most of the other lines are better.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair in the new chamber at
Twelve o'clock.
Since the House last assembled here a temporary
timber roof has been erected with the view of sti►l fur-
ther trying the aecoustic capabilities of the building.
Of course it is in a rough, unfinished state, and since it
renders useless, by shutting out, tit least two-thirds of
the windows, the House presents a sombre and dingy
aspect ; still it facilitates hearing, and reducei
the accompanying reverberation which previously
existed, and no • doubt when the roof is brought
permanently lower and glazed with plate glass,
similar to that of the old House, it will render the
chamber more adapted to its purpose, if it does not im-
prove its appearance.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill,
Mr. ANSTEY moved as an amendment that the House
resolve itself into Committee on the Bill this day three
months. He observed that whatever amendments might be
made in it consistent with the title it would not carry out
the objet of those who promoted it in another place, and
who professed, he would not say intended, to secure a bet-
ter observance of the Lord's-day. Even supposing that
the evidence given before the Committee which had sat
on the subject showed that it was desirable that a better
observance of the Sabbath should be obtained in the me-
tropolis, to the exclusion of all other parts.of her Ma-
jesty's dominions, the • Bill was wholly inadequate for
the purpose. Were the instances of Sunday trading
which had been seen in the metropolis by the Hon.
Member who introduced the Bill such as to constitute a
nuisance? If so, why did be not name those instances?
He (Mr. Anstey) contended there bad been too much
legislation on this subject, and that this Bill was a mass
of undigested nonsense. He called upon the promoters of
this Bill, whom he might term its godfathers, to
prove the preamble before the House proceeded one step
further. What was Sunday trading? Did it consist in
selling apples or oranges on a kerb stone? No. It be-
gan with the miserable apple-woman and pot house, and
went through all the intervening classes of society up to
the Reform or Brookes' Club. Under this Bill luxuries
were to be sold on the Sunday, because the poor could
not buy them and the rich could. Any Hon. Member
might buy Punch on a Sunday, provided it was stamped,
but if he were to buy an unstamped copy for threepence
he would be deemed a great sinner.—(A laugh.) This
was a Bishops' Bill; it had been framed by them, and they
had taken care to provide for their own convenience, by
exempting milk and cream from the provisions of this Bill.
He doubted very much whether the promoters of the
Bill were sincere in what they were doing, and in order
to test that he intended to introduce an amendment to
put down the driving of carriages on a Sunday, espe-
cially the carriages of those who were entitled to wear
arms. He also intended to move an amendment that ser-
vants should not work on a Sunday. He believed
that a Bill more disgusting, or one that would.
stink more in the nostrils of the people, had never been
introduced into that House. It provisions were mon-
strous, and such that, if it passed, would be reseated
by the people.---(Hear, hear.) It could do no good,
but would cause great harm ; and he would venture to
ay.
tes that it had only been introduced to pamper the ap-
petiof a set of hypocrites.—(Hear, hear.) He con-
cluded by ni„iving that the Bill be committed this day
three months.
Sir G. GREY deprecated any discussion on the prin-
ciple of the Bill, which was decided last Wednesday,
and complained that the lion. and Learned Gentleman
who had just sat down had wastes: an hour and a half of the
time of the House. Ile was quite a ware of the difficul-
ties of passing a Bill of this nature the7t would be satis-
factory to all parties, but still he thoug:it such a Bill
was calculated to accomplish great practical good, and
he hoped it would be passed in some shape ore other.
Mr. ANSTEY explained.
Colonel THOMPSON corrected an error which be et: id
prevailed amongst his friends that he supported this Bili
because he thought it would lead to reaction. He did
not think anything of the sok He looked upon it as
a peace offering of a pernicious character, and he hoped
all parties wptild join in endeavouring so to amend the
Bill es to make it acceptable to all parties.—(Hear.)
Mr. HUME objected to the Bill on principle. The
parties who proposed it thought they could make people
religious by Act of Parliament. Now, his experience
convinced him that it was quite impossible to do so.
Such attemps always produced contrary results, and he
regretted that Government had taken up the measure for
the purpose of having it effectually disposed of. Govern-
ment was neglecting its duties upon all questions affecting
the interests of the people. Look, for instance, at the
Post-office. Governmeut declined to step forward to
stop the insane movement of a petty majority,
but perhaps that was the fault of .the Members
themselves. Really, however, Government ought
to be blamed for all this, for if they would stand
forth and manfully oppose all measures calculated to
reduce the civil' and religious liberties of the people,
they would find themselves backed by large majorities.
This was a measure directed against the people. It
was of a coercive character, and as he thought the days
for inflicting penalties upon opinions had gone by, he
should support the amendment.—(Cheers.)
Mr. TRF,LAWNY thought this Bill, like the Post-
office measure, would lead to the desecration rather than
secure the observance cf the Sabbath, and he should
oppose it to the last. Domestic servants were a very
oppressed class, and the tree object of this Bill was to
enable the middle class tradesmen to oppress the poor
man, as the aristocrat did his domestic. It was very
desirable that one day should be set apart for rest, but
that must be done through the common sense of the

people, and not by Act of Parliament.
Mr. R. SPOONER said the real object of the Bill
was to prevent unnecessary trading on the Sabbath, to
prevent undue competition amongst small traders, who
were as anxious that this Bill should pass as the veriest
Sabbatarian either in or out of the House. He was at c
loss to know what the Post-office measure had
to do with tho question, except it was im-
ported into it to show how disgracefully ttre
House behaved itself when a measure was
backed by the prayers of the people. Not-
withstanding that the great mass of the people
approved of the change in the • Post-office, the
House had attempted to overthrow it before
it had a fair trial, and now it was proposed to reject this
Bill in the faoe of the large number of petitions which
the metropelis had presented in its favour.
