This famous measure is pow the law of the land; and the question, whether it will be enforced or not, has already given rive to much epcoalation. If it should be enforced in Ireland, the general opinion sooms to be that it willeause great excitement. ‘The returns of the Board of Trado for the month ending on the 5th of July show that the declared value of our manufactares exported in the sixth month of the year was £6,228,122, against £5 750,526 In the corresponding month of last year, being an increase of £177,006.

[From the Manchester (Eng ) Times, Aug 6] Tt wil be observed, wo are quite sure, with plea- sure, by all parties and classes of Hoglishuen, that Lod ye i has announced tothe House of Com mons the vitention of tie Turlish Porte to release Kossuth and the few remaining Hungarians from ther conferement im Asia Mino. Wo have never doubted the sincerity of our Foreign Minister's fre- quent professions of concern for the harsh treat- ment of the refugees, any moro than the disapproval be expressed, during the conflict, of the conduct of Austria in bere the Hungarian constitution Indeed, the published correspondence of our diplo- wag corieg the few months that followod tho end of the war, is cnough to provo that valid elforte were mado by Lord Ponsonby at Vienna, and by Sir C. Canning at Constantinople, to protect the fugitives from being delivered up to the Czar and to Haynau: which wust tavo been tho case had notthe Sultan ef Turkey beon backed in his ro- foral by tho effectual support of Creat Brisa secondly of I'vanee. Notwithatanding a me intimation, which is put forth in one of the Vienna journals, we do not apprehend that the peace of the continent will risk any fresh disturbanos by the liberation of these objocts of tyrannivzal suspicion. The Austian government, which, besides, is finan- cially incapacitated from a warlike uadortakiag, would eurely not venture, on grounds so trivial, to attempt to per Turkey for an act dono at the urgent requott of this country. We sbould rather anticipate that Avsiria might scek to dictate some conditions, such as to pledge on the part of Kos- suth to abstain from any future action in the affvirs of Hungary; and so endeavor to find a pretext for a tardy and ungracious assent to his freedom. The Partslan Fete in Honor of the Great Mxhioltion. On Friday morning, the Ist inst., the sree eeer of guests invited from London by tho city of Paris, to partake of its splendid hospitalities, in honor of the Great Exhibition, took tacir departure from the London bridge terminus of the Southeastern Railway. The tirst train, after a rapid run with one of Crampton’s engines, reached Folkestone in perfect safety. There, two steam packets were ready to reecive its passengers, aud these, beiag rapidly freighted, stood out to sea, every person on sard in good heart, and determined, if possible, to bid defiance to the seasicknoss. Tho civic majesty of London was preeent, and around his romi-regal person were assembled some of tue most substantial pillars of his state. Ot course, all the forcign commissioners are in- vited gue: ts on this occasion, and a good!y number of (hese distinguished persons were on board the steamer pied started from Folkestone to Bou- logne on Friday afternoon.
