(PROP 011 0W I'AILIS, WIDNIIIIDAT ETZWING. __ _ _ I have every NOM to believe in the troth of the statement which I transmitted yesterday, that the Fronde Emperor consived at the Prem►ien insure). tica in Neufchatel. At Berlin the government, be. stead of Monkish's any part in the most discredita ble attempt, and condemning its author, openly, avows its intention to take the opportunity to bring forward the Presides claims, " with the view of re establishing legal order I. the canton." As if order and legality had been disturbed by anybody but Pommies and his royalist followers! The Swim of Berne senesces@ that M. de Bidow, the Pruden Minister to the Helvetia Confederation (who, foe a long while put, hes been non-resident at his pcet), hem mut a note to the federal govern ment reiterating the reserve made by Prossia in 1848 of all her rights in the principality of Neuf chisel. According to the sentiments uttered in ger vernment circles here, it is always lawful to rise spinet republican institutions, however well settled they may be, and however peaceably they may work. A short time ago, a letter from an ex-membw of the Sicilian parliament appeared is the Daily bows, advocating M. Mania's same of an masked re fusal to pay taxes es a legal muse of peaceful silts, I don, which might go far to force the Xing of Naples to submit to reforms. The plan provoked math ob jection, many liberals of different shades declaring Ithat the Neapolitan peasant would simply arrest land punish all individuals who might attempt to act upon it, and that there the matter would end. With out desiring to offer any opinion upon so very di& cult a question, I advert to it today merely to Ithe purpose of saying that, according to letters jest received from Lombardy, the efficacy of the mode of resistance in question is now being tried there under circumstaaose of mush greater difficulty i than it would have to enconter in the Neapolitan states. In the first place, the Austrian government is much stronger than that of Naples, and, moreover, the refusal to pay taxes in Austrian Italy can only be justified upon the extreme piss, which all govern ments must neessearily hold to be inadmissible, that the Austrian rule le so oppremive as to make resist ance a duty ; whams the MOUS of the scheme, as applied to the Two Skillet, was its legality. The subjects of the Bing of Naples have a constitution which he daily violates, and the taxes which he ex acts from them an, beyond all doubt, unlawfully levied. But in Antrim Italy there is no shadow of a constitution to appeal to. Nevertheless, it appears that in Brescia the refuel to pay taxes has been or ganised on an extensive eerie, and, according to the latest news, the government is unable to find buyers for the property which it 'simple default of payment. At the Bourse the upward movement of yesterday was paralysed by the news that the principal Ger man banks had raised their discount, and that the Bank of England would probably take a similar step tsmatrow. The fall of 3 per cent. in Consols war, however, thought by some to be mounted for by arrangements connected with the auspensioa of the Royal British Bank. The Reath, after some fin teation, closed at 70fr. 750. for cub, and 70fr. for amount, with a fall of lfic. and 300. Credit Mo biller fall 12k. 60c. The Northern Railway fell 10k., and was much depressed, owing to the avowal by the company of the large amount of the defalca tions of their cashiers. The other hues, after having been in some demand, closed rather heavily. This atoning fear siege artillery gun, four field pieces, and several mortars taken at Sebastopol, ',rived at the Invalids, where they may be seen by the public. Tie Isly eteam.sonw frigate and the Primauguet steam corvette are ander orders to proceed to Coa etadt to await the arrival there of Count de Morey on his return to France. The Emperor and Emma (says the Massager de Bayoteas) attended mass in the new chapel on Sun day. In the afternoon his Majesty, accompanied by M. Laity, drove into Bayonne in a light Americans. The Emperor alighted at the entrance of the Allen- Matinee, and walked ite far as the bar, which be examined with minute interest, and direct ed particular attention to that part where the new quays are shoat to be commenced. The Emperor walked for a distance of upwards of three miles on the sande and on the narrow extremity of the jetties, and then got into one of the boats of the Newton, which was in waiting near the Lazaretto. and returned by water to the place where the ear. nage had been left. In the evening, after the dinner, there was a reception, and dancing was kept up until one o'clock in the morning. Their Majesties gaily led off in a boviaagere and a carillon de Dunkerque.

To the rumours of a mis. understsading in the Cabinet, which had pined much credit in political circles, the gevernawnt replies, in the semi-official sheet, that " the most perfect harmony," the.,—yon know the stereotyped phrase. Nevertheless every one con tinues to believe that some remarkable change els at hand. There are some who even give the name of the successor of O'Donnell. The questions which may develop the crisis are the return of Christina, and the opposition of certain members of the cabinet to the racemes of the flume minister, who is disposed to huten by all means the eels of the property of smortioadsm. I have already informed you that in the Barque pqapjares the sale of the pro; arty of the clergy is IN peeled, but that it is proceeding vigorously in the ether provinces. The mot d'ortire, sent from Toledo ha all the bishops, is to imitate the condect of the clergy of Preece under similer circumstances, and to employ spiritual wea pons to hinder the peasantry from bidding. The Bishop of Santander has taken the initiative. He has addressed a circular to all the curds of hill diocese, enjoining them to rift* absolution Ord the cacroomotta of the church to thOurchasors of ciesioal property, their wives, and their children. It is said that this circular has been read publicly in the churches. If other prelates should imitate him of Santander, it is to ha feared that the price which the property has obtained will not be again realised, for want of competition. The journil at Bsyonne, which is the agent of the O'Donnell party, announced some time ago that some progressistas had formed a junta in that town under the presidency of (Bongs; and the same paper named Calve Asensio and &gaits as having been present at its sittings. AU this is we in vention. Letters have bum received from the two last-named gentlemen, in which they de clare that they have not quitted Bateau& This simple fact shows how much confidence is to be placed in the jolliest of Bayonne. Provincial letters annonoos that the majority of civil governors are dismissing the progressistas in the municipalities and deputation., and substituting for them moderados. Ia the province of Coronas all the former ayuntamientos, without exception, have been swept away. In Murcia, on the contrary, things remain just as they were before the coup deka. Smuggling is carried on everywhere upon a very extensive soils. A leading journal gives an official report of the seizures effected in that district. In April there were eighteen vessels with prohibited and other goods of de value of 242,678 reale; in May twelve vessels, with goods valued at 62,923 realm; in June nine vessels and six mules with goods valued at 214,791 reels. Any one who is at all acquainted with the Spanish custom-house officers may form from the above, an idea of the enormous quantity of goods which must have been passed either by deceiv ing the officers or by purchasing their connivance. A circular of the minister directs that the working of the mines shall etsry where be pushed forward with vigour. The progress of this branch of indus try in the last tea years has been very extra ordinary. From the official report it appears that in the district of Carrbagena the produce was in 1842 as follows:—Lead, 370 quintals; silver 144 mares. In 1836 the amnunt was—lead, 376,394 quintals (a thousand times greater than in 1842), and silver, 6,733 mans. BELGIUM. The Prase of Stanek states that General Ortega, late captain-general of the Canary Islands, has ar rived in that capital in order to bring an action against the Independence Beige for libel. The lath r journal has seemed the Spanish general of having falsified a will during his administration of that colony. XCENIGSBERG, Sarr. 10. The HartunstscAe gine the following news from Bt. Petersburg, dated Sept. 9: The Cur hu published a asasifeeto an the oec sloe of his emosatioa. Brunet medals have bets gives to the Busies soldiers who served is the war of the East. Them medals will be hereditary aa respects the heeds of Roble fami lies. Spechl exemptions from taxes ate deemed is feyour of the omits provinces on the comes. They will also be exempted from the obligation of funusbleg recruits for the next four years. An amnesty is granted for the events of 1823,1817, aad 1831. The entlicaiions, however, which were made os those occasions are msinutined. All the rest is remitted. The taxes will be assessed according to a new muse of the population. . _ A letter from St. Petersburg of the 31st states that two officers belonging to each of the three branches of military lustier:l:ion—the academy, the staff, the engineers and the artillery--areto be sent to forei4n countries to study military science and organisation. Very adequate means will be placed at the dispel's' of these officers. A lientanant•eolonel will receive 3,222 silver roubles a year; a captain 2,357 roubles; and a lieutenant 2,254. each of these will also be allowed 1,027 roubles for his outfit. Another letter from the Ramian capital of the Ist says :—" The 2iforski Sbornick (a species of shipping gazette) states that during the month of July eleven government vessels were launched in the port of Bt. Petersburg. Five of them are screw steamers." A letter from St. Petersburg of the 2nd says :—" It is generally reported that the relations of Russia and Sweden have been of late anything but friendly, and that the Swedish ambassador sent by the court of Stockholm to the coronation could not fail to have noticed the clothes, which exists between the two States." Another letter from the Russian capital says In order to form a correct idta of the indefatigable activity of the Emperor, it is necessary to see the immense mass of civil and military affairs which the Czar settlid before his departure. He continued to occupy himself with business during hie journey by the railway, and even on reaching Moscow up to the moment of his solemn entry." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sarr. 10. A deers, of tts Minister of Worship recommends the heads of the protestant churches of Hungary to dismiss with the most entire liberty the project of law cone:realm the definitive regulation of the aime d= of the protestant confessions of Hungary. The Ost•Destache Post, contradicting its first ver sion of the second Neapolitan note, says that it is only mare conciliatory in form, that in substance its con clusions are the same as those of the fiat. Austria alone, it adds, has hitherto prevented a stronger pressure on the part of the Western Powers. _ . . . . _ 1 - A Vienna journal, the Ostdnitsche Post, publishes a furious philippic egging Sardinia, deelarlog that country to be in a state of war with Aaatria. "Does I says the Post, " consist merely in a violation of territory P Dca international right permit a government to give itself up to a series of acts in opposition to another country that are an overt pro. vocation to revolt P This state of things is intole rable. Diplomacy will be compelled to take the matter up, for else by next spring the exelperation of the masses, whom the instigators would be unable to restrain, may change this or that spot in Italy into a Held of battle." M. Teehen, charged with stealing, some time Gino% official despatches from the Foreign-office, at Berlin, has been tried, fotmd guilty, and sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The trial took place with closed doors, but all the Berlin journals publish a communicated paragraph, stating that it risme out clearly in the proceedings that Techen had obtained these despatches for the use of foreign governments, and it is hinted that the secrecy of the trial was to some extent dictated by regard for the governments, which would have been discredited by publicity. GERMANY. Accounts from Frankfort say :—"lts positively stated that on the re-opening of the sittings of the Diet the question of gambling tables at the various wateeing-places will be brought under consideration: A nesal;e; of the States of the Confederation have already entered into separate agreements to suppress thigh" l'ho Council of State of Neurobitel has published a proclamation, in which it acquaints the inhabitants of the republic that order is again restored, and also thanks them for the patriotism and courage din• played by them daring the late events. CRYSTAL PALACE FLOWER SHOW. There is no place in or oesr London so suited in every way for a floral exhibition ss the Crystal Palace. The glass roof admits the light almoet without interruption and the smobetnoted rays show up the rich and varied hue; of the blossoms almost as clearly aa they would appear cat a the open air. Their proximity, too, to the splendid iselleetion of nee 'Reties with which Sir Joseph Paxton has enriched the interior of the building and encouraged to flou rish therein almost as luxuriantly u they do in their natural homes within the tropics, and the contrast which one meta , rally draws between the show flowers and those which the gardeners of the palace rear in the grounds outside for every-day occasions, renders it compulsory on the exhibitors to produce something considerably out of the common. This was evidently the feeling with those who coa -1 pated for the prizes yesterday ; for notwithstanding the lateness of the season, a more • splendid display was dahlias, asters, pansies, and hollyhocks, amongst the eat flowers. Thou in pots comprised fuebaiu, garaninan, hydrangeas, eukspura, Weans, Java lance lilies, and many Wien with which even those who are neither professional gardeners nor amateurs may claim some *quantum while of the more rare specimens which are seen only In the greenhoume of persons to whom 601. or a 1001. for a single bulb or cutting Is a bsgatelle, and of which, except the very learned, none will venture to assert that he knows even the names, there was a much greater abundance then usual. Of the latter, the Stephanotes floribunda, the Iron cocaine', an Eat Indian plant, with huge fiery red blo.eoms almost as large as cauliflowers, end so numerous as almost to conceal the liana of the plant; the Caledura, with its large variegated velvety leaves, and huge trustarent—all but throbbing--. veins, and the Erica, were the most remarkable. The dahlias were superior to any we have yet seen. Those foe which Mr. Turner, of the Royal Nursery, Slough, the Rev. C. Fellows, and ilr. H. bug*, carried off the prises, may be prononaced perfect both in form and colour. The hollyhocks were also very fine, the but specimens being exhibited by Mews. Paul and Son, the nurserymen, of Cheshunt, who gams the drat prise. Some of the balume and one or two oT the cockscombs deserve notice, and there were also some very beautiful fuchsias; but decidedly the finest plant in the collection, according to our own homely tut*, was a sped. • men of our old familiar friend the geranium, exhibited by Mr. Wetherell, gardener to Dr. M'Neil, of Holloway, which was literally covered with b'ossoms of the most faultless shape and the richest tint—something between the ordinal and a rich carmine—that we have ever sees. Though the _ . month of roses bat long pored, this especial favourite of the Goddess Flora appeared in every variety and in every colour. Thus were white roses, blush roses, pick Met a red rotes, damask roses, and yellow roses; and some which all thou different hues seemed to blend Segos Cher. In addition to all this long catalogue, some lof the irettiest mosses and ferns that grace 002 English woods were ranged as a background, to relieve by their sober green the brilliant end gaudy echoers ranged around them. Bat the exhibition was not confined to flower—tkevotaries of Pomona as well as those of Floes ware represented. There were fruits of all kinds that Eng lish soil, English climate, and English industry ea* produce, ranged in the most picturesque order and the most tempting profusion. The rich purple and the pale transparent green mumatelle grape, mime of them quite as large as ordinary plume, and weigh ing—we iti afraid to say bow many pounds to the bunch ; luscious, velvet-coated peaches, pears that promised to melt in the month ; the Urbana plum, rich in colour an in Ba you, and ►ursting with ripeness; the cooling, green melon; and last, bat not least, that king of (exits—which, thanks to free trade, we can now buy, if we are content with the imputed specimens, at a shilling or eighteenpence a-piece at say fruiterer's, but which the pleurisy of some of oar own nobility ars said to produce in the greatest perfection—the grand and glorious pine. Thus were apples and figs in abundance—seine of the latter almost equal to those of Smyrna; but the former, as might be eir pirated from the almost total failure of our app:e orchards this year, not quite so fice en usual. Ai extra featars in this inhibition, and ore which bra hitherto been ablest from our metropolittn hoe. ticolturrl shows, was • very creditable colleotion of the products of the cottegi.r's garden, including potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips, &c , for which the exhibitors of the but of their several kinds re ceived ;riser, varying from ten shillings up to ten pounds. This is an innovation to established routine introduced by Sir J. Paton, and judging by the very successful result in this instance, we have little doubt that, ilea many other de partures from established role of which Sir Joseph hes been guilty, it will be found both useful and vroausental. The day en remarkably doe, and a company nu re none rose than is generally congregated at the Pilate on be. days, compriting a large msj ,ri , y of the 1.4 sex, in toilettes ss varied in colour as the dower, themselves, gave life and gaiety to the scene.

NOTWITHSTANDING the antiquity and popularity of the proverb which tells us that " You can't make silk purse out of a sow's ear," we coshes that oar faith in its literal truth becomes weaker end weaker fts we read, year after year, the reports of the pro endings of the British Association. The discoveries In physical science, and their practical application to everyday uses, proceed with such wonderfully tepid strides, that we have long since lost sight of oar old landmarks of the improbable, and sae utterly at a loss to guess at what point the im possible even begins. Chemistry is perpetually working new wonders as marvellous almost as that which is indicated in the old sew we have quoted, and we swept them almost as matters of corms. We are evidently getting blase as regards those strange metamorphose% Your cooketioner sends a syrup of jasper"( pears, and a bottle of pineapple punch, to retreat you during the dog days—end very admirable they are. But little reeks he so to the state of the pear and pineapple market; it is the butter market which is the important oaasideration, for that is the article which, by moms shimaisal magio, tarnishes the assent* of jurgooe► and pineapple, and Heaven knows what besides. The paturner, in like manner, has sr senors of violet, sod other popular flowers, at your service; bat the perfume, instead of owing its origin to the vegetable products whose names it bears, is derived from substances more likely to attract the attention of inspectors of nuisances than of saanufao tures of "termite doubles de mille-fleure." It wee but the other day that we were presented with a sample of essential oil of aimed*, perfect at all points except its poisonous quality; bat the "a►mosd" from which it was extracted was a tar barrel. What must the sericulture' part of his indiums have thought when Professor DAVBINY, at the moat meeting of the British Association, told them that guano was not only of sovereign virtu* in the production of monstrous turnips and fabulouss , mange' wurzel, bat that it was a substitute for the cochineal insect, and was heoesforward to furnish us with a scarlet dye P Peruvian bark is no longer to be the sole source of quinine, mat so costly; the valuable drag abounds, it would mese, is ammo- Wesel refs's. Cotton wool biomes pa tattoo, sad inn cotton becomes collodion, so extensively red in photography ; clay becomes aluminium, that mental loss metal now so familiar, in the shape of ingots at bast, to thousands; and therefore we repeat that it is very hazardous to predicats that sows' ears may not be very proper materials wherewith to make silk prow We do not sty that the experiment will area be tried ; but who knows! The marvels we have alluded to, and thous's& of other marvels, coon still more extraordinary, are net the result of lucky guesses or trials. On the contrary, they are based on long analytical investigation', and on concdosions drawn from tneriade of facts slowly and patiently ascertained and verified. One of the means of di.. seminating a popular knowledge of those fads. and of eliciting the opinions and observations of ema of science respecting them, is the annual gathering of the Society to which we have already referred. Is its early days this "peripatetic" salami of phiia eophers offered too fair a mask for aiding' to resist; bat few men are now disposed to treat lightly the services it has rendered to science, not only by those direct aide cfforded by combined operation, but by infusing, is one centre of commerce or wealth after another, an intend la the program of erientific knowledge, and, an aequeiatance, valuable • though necessarily superficial, with what is going os in various departments of mines or useful inquiry. An important progress has thus been leaden destroy ing the apathy or contempt with which many well educated persoae, especially in the provisoes, regarded the Waite and apparently manly carious inquiries to which scientific men devoted tleemselvea. The eel bono • feeling has passed away, and the public are beginning to acknowledge that many facts whirls apparently led to no valuable results, after men labour and pains were expended Is emertaining them, were really importaat links to a special chain of reasoning, and absolutely necessary in order to arrive at conclosiona of practical utility. Most of us are old enough to remember the time when the experiments of FARADAY, 01111T111), and others, on the direction of the 'lune-galvanic aurae, wets looked upon by many as mere scientific caricei taw, of no interest to society is general ; bat they were the very toundations of that marvellous peastisel benefit to the world, the electric telegraph. When Daft exhibited a few minute grains, which be told as were the metallic base of alum, the world little dreamed that it would lead to a mode of extracting from clay, which contains large quantities of that mineral in a state of combination, the beautiful metal, ingots rat which were exhibited at the Paris Exhibi. du, and which was shown to be of great value in the arts, from the resistance it offen to the antic' of acid; its freedom from oxidation or tarnish, the fa cility with which it works under the hummer, and its lightness, which renders it very valuable for small weights, presenting a large extent of surface com pared with those formed of other metals. A watch manufactured entirely from aluminium was exhibited at the Exhibition; and for watch movements, its ex emption from deterioration by damp or add velem renders it a very desirable material. The general public have gradually learned how the multitude of astronomical observations, and other similar opera tions, which were popularly considered at one time to be mere curiosities, involving a considerable outlay, with nothing to show for it bat a bewildering collection of figures, have nevertheless a direct bear ing on our every-day wants. The study of the laws of light has a very intelligible exponent of its re sults in the improvements in optical instruments; so that although the "canoe of adulteration—for it has become a feeieooe—hse made equally rapid progress, the microscope of the present day renders detection almost inevitable. The Government of this country has done but little hitherto to foster science, and the greater &mem is therefore dee to thaw who have banded and kept I together the British Assothatios, sad who have pm -1 Mated, is spite of innumerable news mid witticisms, in their efforts to Inoculate the inhabitants of the various great towns with a love be mimics in pie rs].
