IN the very temperate speech of the CHANCELLOI. et the EXCBEQUEB on Friday evening, when moving the nomination of the railway committee, there is one conspicuous passage relating to the vital question of the exhausted or non-exhausted state of the capital of the country, which it is important to consider with attention. It appears to Sir Cnwar.za WOOD that the explanation of the present high rate of in terest put forward by the Economist newspaper, con tains a full and accurate appreciation of the circum stances of the case. lie stud He did not know that he could better state the melt if • these transactions than in the words et the Beimmaist newspaper of lest Saturday. The imemmal - aW: "The manner in which the law abekeeisa at capital has been particularly felt hes bun es al lows. During the last two years, hat asks the last twelve months, the deposits in all the out the kingdom have been gradually di. Dees withdrawn for the purism of paying= plying bonds ; the supply of money to the tivellua has, wear quently, been decreasing, while the Emeni ken the gam ramuhal and manufacturing districts les Ws kaneelag, and the necessary consequence of a dialnaina sap* and an in crewed demand has been a groat rile is the rate of interest. It would be a most striking awl isslgneeivseempariain, were it possible to be made, between the amount of deposits in 1846, when the rate of interest writ, and at the present moment, when it is from 7to 11-per coot." Now it appears true, that while the process indi ailed by this passage has been one of the modes in which the recent railway expenditure has been sap plied, there is no reason to believe that it has been carried out upon a scale so extensive and important as is assigned to it by the hypothesis. We must bear in mind that the phenomenon to be accounted for is, a rise in the rate of interest during a time of peace, during a season of internal security, with no political die qtietades threatening a speedy state of hostilities, or any extraordinary circumstances likely to raise up a large demand upon the national revenue or resources — a rise of the rate of interest, in the face of this unexcited state of things, the most prodigious which has occurred in modern times. The Economist believes that seven to nine per cent. is the :present natural value of money, and it therefore states the figures correctly in representing the differ ence to be explained as the wide margin between 24 and (say) 8 per cent.-or something more than a triplicatton of the rate in two years. But this is ob viously such a violent enhancement as can only have taken place from one of two causes—either, first, the quantity of capital met have been so small that an extra demand, of very moderate intensity, was com petent to produce a severe scarcity —or, secondly, the quantity of capital may have been large, but may also have been subjected to an extravagance and impetuosity of consumption so insatiable, as to raise its value to a famine price. Now, it is fortunate that we can submit the opinions of the Economist on both these points to the tat of arithmetic. In the first place, it is impossible to esti mate the banking depoate and lodgments on current account, which are merely deposits in a different shape, in Great Britain alone, at less than 300 mil lions; and, in the second place, there are the official statistics referred to by Sir CHARLES WOOD himself on Friday evening, which prove that since the sum mer of 1845, exclusive of the cost of land and the acts of parliament, which are admitted on all hands to be transactions of mere transfer from one man to another, the actual outlay on railways has not been more t hea 65 millions sterling. Now, it does not require any profound mathema field formula to satisfy us that the proportion borne by 55 millions to 300 millions is net quite so much as Ito 6. In other words, even if we adopt the utterly indefensible notion that the whole 65 millions have oome out of the Banks, we have still to reconcile our selves to the iaference, that the expenditure of one sixth part of every hundred pounds hue been eufficient to raise the value of the remainder threefold. This is an extravagance of elevation precisely holes as gnat. as GREGORY LINO ascribes toe similar aeticiency '- of corn—an article which every taan must - condition of his the supply 0. obtain (regardless of its price) as the , existence. Bat the deposits in bulks are only one form of the Immediately available portion of the floating capital of the country; and as it is not contended that the whole railway drain has faller upon this class of lodg ments, we need not trouble ourselves to prove the utterly untenable charapter of the contrary opinion. Suppose that thirty milieu hare been taken from the banks—and that is an outside estimate—these thirty mil li ons are only oreedentli part of the whole massed capital to be operated upon, and we conceive that we shall carry with us the common sense of our readers when we express our most unfeigned inability to understand how a dirainutionof one part in ten can rasooabi77 account for a triplication of the value of the remaiaios nine-tenths. The truth appears to be, that both the acute writer in the Botswana, and the CHASCELLOE OP THE Ex cnixtorm, ascribe much too small an influence on the rate of interest to the artificial disturbances and ex citements which have prevailed in the money market tar the last nine months, and much too small an in- , fence, as concerns the railway expenditure, to the annual accumulation which bas been going on con temporaneously with theme immense disbursements, and also too little influent* to the fact that the rail ways have only diverted to themselves an immense mass of fund', which, under other circumstances, would have been laid out in some of the ordinary modes of fixed investment. Upon the first topic we shall only say at present, that one of the most cogent proofs that the high rate of interest is but the creature of alarm, is to be feud in its constant tendency to decline at every pause in the ex citement. On the second topic let it be remembered that even our most disconsolate councillors, such as tho nines, have not been able to reckon our annual savings over and above our expenses at less than 50 millions. So that if we have spent 50 millions in two years on one hand, we have been saving 100 millions in the same time on the other. But it is the last point—the mere diversion of capi tal—upon which we would insist at present. It must have occurred to almost every man conversant with the world around him, to have heard of numerous cases daring the last two or three years, where affluent tradesmen, frugal gentlepeople , thri fty spin sters, and intelligent mechanics, have satisfied them selves that a railway share or a railway debenture was a preferable object upon which to expend a newly acquired legacy, an expired mortgage, a re covered debt, or a realised saving, to any of the ordinary methods of outlay. It was better than building houses, or extending business, or buying new furniture, or making improvements, or taking a journey to London, or living in grander style. The money, therefore, was spent in railway investment. ' Bat it is manifest, that in every instance of this kind it was a mere circumstance of diver sion. The new contribution would probably set in motion another navigator in Cumberland, or another smith in Warwic ks hire. But this was a simple re-distribution of employment. The choice lay , between these distant competitors and the local ear -1 peuters, bricklayers, and cabinet makers. The same money could impart activity to only one set of la bourers, and leaving out of view the complicated questions as to the comparative merits of the two kinds of expenditure, it is abundantly plain that, as far as the question of capital is concerned, there was nothing upon which to exercise a choice. In either way there was a conversion of so much floating into so much fixed property. Let the facts, of which we have now suggested an illustration, be suffered to exert their due weight, and we shall not so readily fall into the hasty errors urged upon as by the party. We shall be fully disposed to allow that the natural value of capital has undergone a palpable improvement, but no artifice of declama tion, and no exuberance of emu levity, can convince us that there is any valid reason for despondency or ne privation. MR. WAXLEY has given notice of a motion for this day, to demand a 'elect committee to inquire into the registration of legally qualified practitioners in medi cine and surgery, and into the laws and charters relat ing to the practice of their professions. We sincerely wish the honourable member success. We have been all along anxious, in discussing tbe subject of medical reform, to deal with principles. We have been wishful to ascertain what is right and best for the government to do, and the foundation few such action. We are no advocates for the government leaving the question of medicine open to the people. The right of the state to interfere in medical and sanitary matters arises out of the universally ad mitted foundation of governments, the protection of the property and life of the community. It is be cause the lives of thousands must daily depend on the ' knowledge of their medical advisers, that it becomes the veered duty of the state to take care that every one who professes the healing art is possessed of the requisite skill. A wise physician, skilled in wounds to heal, la moss than armies to the public weal. The question then arises as to the means the state ought to adopt for the discharge of this duty. We have seen that at the present moment, government exercises its authority on this subject through 17 me dical institutions, and that these bodies have all a power either of granting degrees, or the privilege to practice medicine in various parts of this country. Some of these institutions have lost their legal power, whilst such is the little influence that any of them really possess, that a host of persons practise medi cine without any licence at all. Against such a state of things we have protested, and have advocated the necessity of placing these in stitutions on a more efficient footing than at present, so as to secure the objects of their founda tion. But many of these bodies, regardless of the good of the profession, only seek to maintain their own exclusive privileges at the expense of the public and the members of their own profession. Amongst the meat shameless of these stands the College of Phy sicians. We referred, a short time since, to the evi dence of Dr. Etats, given before the parliamentary committee on the subject of medical registration, and expressed our pleasure at finding that all the witnesses from the college did not agree with their president. Their differences, however, are lees than we imagined, and the evidence of Dr. GEORGE Buitaowe, senior censor of the college, shows clearly that the spirit of that body is one of exclusiveness, and that they will listen to no change that will not regard their licen tiates as a superior class iu the profession. The fundamental error into which we think the College of Physicians has fallen, and which a great part of Dr. BURROWS' evidence is an attempt to main-' 1 tarn, is, that there is an essential distinction between the duties of the physician, surgeon, and general practi tioner, and that these distinctions may be defined with sufficient accuracy to form the basis of legislation. Now, setting aside the question of the advantage of recognising three or more grades in the medical pro fession, even if they could be defined, we den.y the possibility of making a distinction in kind between the physician, surgeon, and ge neral practitioner. There is, in fact, no more Armies between a physician, 'surgeon, and genet— ractitioner, than there is be tween one draper and Another. One draper may confine himself to selling silks, shawls, and muslin., whilst another will sell these, and calioo and flannel into the bargain. We do not dispute the fact that as physicians and surgeons, dentists and oculists, give their attention to parti cular departments of disease , they thereby acquire skill and a greater amount of knowledge in special cases than those who practise all ; but this is only a difference of degree of knowledge and not of kind. Even Dr. BURROWS, when asked the question, " Does not the general practitioner perform the duties of a physician ? " says, in the most hesitating manner possible, " No, I do not think he does perform the duties of • physician."— "In what respect?" asks his inquirer. "He is not appointed as principal mediae officer in public insti tutions, and he is not called in consultation on difficult caste." On such a basis as this does Dr. Boasows attempt to establish the distinction between physicians, sad general practitioners. There is no difference in tbe nature of eases in hospitals and out of them, in mess requiring consultation and which do not re quire it; and Dr. &meows knows it ; bat he wants to lave his college and his class, and is driven to this lift to do it. Dr. Buanows' attempt to prove that the education required by the College . of Physicians is something saperior to that which is required by other bodies, is just as futile. He thinks it would be • Mat preposterous " to constitute a " mere apeticesety" as physician or surgeon. We think it um* aim persterons to plane young physicians in Cetesegonubility that would be much better lo; di apiheards., But what is the difference between the masemeats of the College of Physicians sad Apodissarw Hall, and other places that grant degrir ti f . 22T, the preliminary education required at A Hall at the pr sent day is in extent and ind the same as that of the College of Physi cians. Dr. Btinttows says the college requires Greek and Latin, but that the Apothecaries' Company only quantity to.. only dine.— _ - in the &M that College of Physi cians do not go up till they are twenty-nix years of age, whilst those at Apothecaries' Hall go up at 21. With regard to the universities of London, Dublin, and Scotland, we believe their requirements are some of them glister than, and all equal to,these of the College of Physicians, London. It is not, therefore, upon the • and of euperior education or examination that this y can lay any claim to the consideration of the legislature. We admit that the college includes names that do honour to it and humanity, but that the existence of the college, or its laws and regale tions, have had anything to do with the eminence of its members, we entirely deny. As proof of our assertion, we would bring forward the fact that, at the present moment, the great mass of the distinguished physicians of the British empire do not be long to the College of Physicians of Lon don at all. Ausori and Cutout, of Edinburgh, STOKES and GRAVES, of Dublin ; PRYTCHARD, of Bristol; HASTINGS, of Worcester; RANKING, of Nor wich; BARDSLEY, of Manchester, and a host of others, ornaments to their profession, whom we might mention, are not members of the London College of Physicians, and their character and reputation have been acquired quite independent of that body. From Dr. &meows' own evidence we could show that the College of Physicians is little more than a clique of London hospital physicians. They are afraid of the passing of such a bill asMr.Wax LEY'S, Dot because it will injure the profession or the public, but because it will place every man of talent upon the same footing, and open our hospitals to the beet man , whether he has paid his six guineas for his diploma at Apothecaries' Hall, or his sixty guineas at Pall-mall. Ifince Wee lachryma. Now, we say to the profession and the public, do not be alarmed by names. Ignorant men, men who have had no higher claims on the confidence of the public as physicians than their Greek and Latin, have obtained their diplomas from the College of Phy sicians. Men of comprehensive education and pro found knowledge of their profession, may not possess this distinction. Will you allow yourselves to be imposed upon by the one, and introduce him into your hospitals to learn his profession upon your sick poor, because he is called a physician, and reject the other because he is called an apothecary or general practi tioner P Divest the thing of names, and we feel assured that no one in his senses could for a moment think of reviving the extinct powers of the College of Physicians, or of maintaining the seven teen medical institutions granting degrees and licensee, in their present state of morale and inefficiency. THE ministerial declaration on the railway motion of last Friday has, as we expected, defined the position which government is resolved to take with regard to the acts of former sessions. To the " representations and applications" addressed to the government, in the spirit of the Tinley and Examiner, demanding a stoppage of the works now in progress, and a prohibition of calls, as precautions necessary for the "safety of the country," we now learn that it has not been. thought pro per to listen. Whether in any part of the cabinet 1 at any time the disposition may or may not have ex isted to pursue the extreme courses recommended, it is now of little consequence to inquire. The material fact is, that the objections to such a hazardous way of proceeding have prevailed, and that ministers have come to the conclusion that " it would be exceedingly injudicious to attempt any compulsory measure." This being ascertained, it can scarcely be worth while to follow the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHE QUER through the details of a speech, the greater part of which might have been more appropriate as a pre face to some measure of the kind, which he concluded by declaring the inexpediency of proposing. The pains taken to prove thatrsilway expenditure has increased, if not created, the pressure of the last six months, would seem to be somewhat thrown away, when it is found that, whatever its effects may be alleged to have been, they are not deemed sufficient to justify any of the rash courses which the apprehensions of such effects may have suggested. It might indeed be questioned whether in the details of actual expen diture furnished by the commissioners, there would be found any convincing proof of the oppressive action on the resources of a country like ours, which the greater part of Sir CHARLES WOOD'S speech seemed designed to impute to the employment of capital in railway works. Had it been intended by ministers, on such grounds, to have recourse to forcible mea sures, with a view to diminish this operation, it would hams been proper to examinetheir bearing attentively ; and it might be no very difficult task to prove that, on such data, it would scarcely be possible to establish a sound case for coercion. At present, no coercive mean cures being intended, it cannot be of much use to dis cuss their value; which could only have had a prac tical interest in connexion with a line of policy the reverse of what the ministry have so far had the good sense to adhere to. Of the two specific measures announced on Friday night, the first, intended to give a larger allowance of time for railway work, and to make the express con sent of a certain proportion of the shareholders a necessary condition of the prosecution of any new works, will not require mach comment, in addition to what we said on this subject before the motion took place. The remarks we offered on Friday morning sufficiently explain our general views on the bearing of a permissive measure ; and as to the formal taking of the shareholders' assent before commencing fresh operations, the precaution, although in times like the present it can have no considerable effect, can do no harm whatever. It is hardly necessary to observe that, under existing cir cumstances, the directors, who are already required to give periodical accounts of their proceedings to the proprietary, at general meetings, would not in any case find it easy to enter into any considerable en gagements, not approved of by the great majority of their constituents. The task of the committee on the bills of this ses sion, to be moved for this evening, as the object of its lab Ours was described by the CHANCELLOR OP THE EXCHEQUER, will not be a very easy one. It is, we are told, to determine of itself, or to refer it (with , some general instructions, it may be presumed), to r the Railway Board, to determine " which of the . schemes shall be allowed to be proceeded with, and which not" And this determination, we are further informed, is to be guided by a reference to the expenditure involved in the schemes in question, not to the local merits of the schemes themselves, it being desirable, according to the CHANCELLOR OP THE Ex clizoiesa, that no new project shall be sanctioned this year which may require any " great outlay of capital." To deal with such materials on this principle, will be apt to prove a vei perplexing business. The clarification and weeding of projects which the promoters come forward prepared with sufficient funds to make—not according to their intrinsic claims, but with reference to some imaginary maxi mums which the whole railway enterprise of the year cannot be permitted to exceed—must in its nature be altogether an arbitrary process. There must first be a limit rimmed for the total capital which it is pro posed to expend; and this at the outset is taking for I granted as something absolute, a point, which it is next to impossible to assign convincing reason for placing at a given figure—for fixing_ at one degree of the wale rather than another. Then, supposing the allowable total expenditure settled, the process of determining which of the applicants shall, and which shall not, have the benefit of partaking in it, must, in like manner, be guided by what, after all, can be nothing more than the individual views of the parties, whoever they may be, that are empowered to decide on the claims before them. It is needless to observe, that the proceeding can only have any effect whatever in so far as it restricts the grant of bills that would be passed but for its operation ; in so far as it cuts doyen the capital to be spent to a lower total than the sum of the applications would otherwise amount to; in so far as it forbids certain lines from being made next year, which the promoters are desirous of making, and have the means to make. The difficulty in inch a proem u this, aii ;ei re t ec te a character of satidactory justice to a • g that is in its nature, as we have said, together arbitrary. Each of the rejected naturally considers his own claims as not less substantial than those of the more fortunate claimants t—if the decision is to be made without a hearing of the respective claims, ite character is at once apparent, and it cannot fail to provoke com plaints not easily answered; if a hearing is allowed, it will be found that, in order to determine a I . : *XPRESS, *O AT EVENING, NOVEMBERr 0 -* regain Lea Now, Or.

SURRENDER OF LUCERNE. Lucerne has fallen ! The army of the confedera tion, under General Dufour, advanoed against it on the 22nd, from four points. Fierce resistance was offered to the corps of - Ochsenbein, whose artillery, however, soon repulsed the Lucernese. But the most important engagements took place north of Lucerne, where General Gmur attacked the bridge of Gis likon, and carried it, together with the fortified po sition', of Roth and Dierikon, forcing his way by the evening of the 23rd, to the very gates of Lucerne. That evening, says the Basle Gazette, a deputation from Lucerne arrived at the head-quarters of Gen. Dufour, at Smis, a town on the Reims, a few miles from Lucerne, with propositions for a capitulation. The general answered that it wee too late, and de manded the unconditional submission of the city. This submission was consented to on the morning of the 24th, and the federal troops marched into the town. On the 23rd General Dufour sent a despatch to the President of the Vorort, announcing his success. The landsturm of Lucerne disbanded on the 23rd. At Berne, in the canton of Lucerne, the troops of the ems. federation were received with welcome and oaths-' siasm, the white flag being hoisted. On the 23rd, a division of the federal troops, under General Keller, marched into Schwytz and occupied Schalebach, Reichenbourg, and Siebnen, the landsturm disbanding, and the authoritiesof the districteapitulating. The same took place in the town of Zug. It is evident, from all these accounts, that the troops of the Sonderbund made after all no very obstinate resistance, and that its reduction has been effected with a very trifling loss of either life or property. The following account is given by the Zurich Gazette of the 29th of the events of the 23rd : The troops of the Sonderbund evacuated Surges and re- I treated towards Lucerne. At Orasawangen the light of a fire was observed. Colonel Ochseobein marched from thence towards Russwyl. Yesterday, at ten o'clock, the hostilities commenced on the frontier between Zug and Lucerne, near the bridge of Oislek, and lasted till four p.m. The Soader bond troops had taken up a very strong position in the defile towards the bridge, and Rear the Rothenburg. The brigade feller received orders to turn this mountain by Broom and Riseb, while troops from Schaam, detached from the bridge I of Dietwyl, were attacking the Rothenburg, and while toe defiles were being forced by the aid of other troops and by several batteries of artillery . During the attack two houses of the village of Ronan were set on fire by shells. On the Rothenburg the federal troops set fire to a house from which persons had discharged their fire arms. A brisk cannonade was constantly heard. About four o'clock the Sonderbund evacuated the heights of the mountains. The !der brigade had attacked them in the rear, sad, as considerable masses of troops were advancing en the other side of the Reuss, the federal troops advanced by the bridge of Dudek, and crossed the narrow defile as far as Roth. Many have been killed and wounded on both sides. The battalion Drummer rendered itself con spicuous at Meyers-Rappel, in a combat with an enemy superior in numbers ; they had two killed, and about twelve wounded. The loss of the enemy is said to have been more considerable. Several prisoners were taken yesterday, among whom were five schwytzois, who have been led off to Zurich. Yesterday evening the federal troops advanced as far as Meggem. It was reported at Zug, that, in the combats of yesterday, the federal troops had lost fifteen men, and had had from forty to fifty_ disabled. In the course of the last night, the Doyen Schhumpf was brought prisoner from Steinhausen to Zug. The French news of Friday and Saturday is not important. Louis Philippe celebrated, in the midst of his nu merous family, on Thursday, at St. Cloud, the thirty eighth anniversary of his marriage. A performance was given in the theatre of the château on the occa sion, by the company of the Opera Comique. The report that M. Napoleon Duch&tel (brother of the minister of the interior) had been appointed to one of the vacant embassies is contradicted. The em bassies now at the disposal of King Louis Philippe and M. Guizot are those of Turin, Naples, Lisbon, and Madrid. The Duke de Glncksberg (a youth of five and-twenty) has never been regarded otherwise than interim minister at Madrid. The Moniteur publishes the official return of the French customs for the last month. The receipts for import duties are stated at 12,036,084 fr.; in October, 1846, they were 14,055, 655 fr., and in October, 1845, 14,398,465 fr. The diminution is principally in cot ton, wool, threads, English cast iron and coals, olive oil, linseed, and foreign sugar. A reform banquet, on the largest scale witnessed since that of the Chateau Rouge, wok place at Lyons, on Tuesday. Sixteen hundred persons assembled in the Coliseum, and, had a building more spacious still been available, more than twice that number would have united in this manifestation. The president on the occasion was M. Alcock, counsellor of the Cour Royale of Lyons. All the usual toasts were drank. The health of the King was omitted. The Council General of the Seine bas just recorded a resolution adverse to the principle of free trade, and in favour of a system of protection. The despatches and joernsla cif Madrid, from the 20th to the 22nd inclusive, have arrived. General de la Conetllt had refused the embassy to Paris which was offered him by Narvaez. The Union Bank re sumed its payments on the 19th. The Espanol says that a reasonable hope may be entertained that the bank will speedily repair the losses it suffered by the dishonest acts of one of its partners. General Serrano arrived at Grenada on the 18th. The Queen's fête was celebrated oa the 19th with all the usual rejoicinc sees. Deputations from both chambers presented ad dresses. One of the most pre valent political topics of the day is the proposed im peachment of M. Salamanca, end the probable revela tions which that ex-minister will make in the retaliatory part of his defence. The Clamor Publico says that great efforts have been made to induce him to refrain from making certain disclosures which would seriously compromise persons holding exalted stations. The address proposed in the Chamber of Deputies, in answer to the royal speech, was unimportant, ex cept the last paragraph, which contains a censure on the ministries of Pacheco and Goyena. In the Chamber of Deputies, on the 20th, a demand on the government for papers relative to the pay ments to the royal household, and other matters in which M. Salamanca is mixed up, was unanimously agreed to be made. The demand was presented in the name of M. Pidal, M. Gonzales Bravo, and other deputies. M. Salamanca entered into some brief ex planations on the different documents demanded, insisted that his conduct had been perfectly honour able and straightforward in every respect, requested that strict justice should be done him, declared that he accepted the responsibility of all his acts, and ended by saying that, for his part, he supported the demand for the papers. His speech is allowed to have been a very able one, and even the Espanol, which has been his bitterest assailant, expresses a sort of admiration of the talent, self-possession, and energy he displayed. A Lisbon letter, of the 18th, addressed to the Espa nol, of Madrid, states that the ministerial crisis had terminated, and that the ministers who bad offered their resignations would continue in office until the meeting of the Cortes. The journals and correspondence of Rome of the 16th and 17th are filled with interesting details of the ceremony of opening the new council of state at the Vatican. The speech delivered by the Pope, and said to have been improvised, was the subject of uni versal comment and unmixed approbation. The fol lowing is the report of this address, supplied by an ear-witness, and as it is published in the official jour nal. it may be considered as being sanctioned by his holiness: I thank you for your good intentions, and appreciate them as tending to the public good. It has been with a view to the public good that, from the first moment of my being raised to the pontifical throne, I have done, under the in spiration of God, all that I have been able to do ; and I am ready, by God's usistanee, to do as moth in future, with out, however, in anywise retrentitiog the sovereignty of the pontificate, as I have received it full and entire from my predecessors, so that I may in like manner trans mit it to my successors. I have for my witnesses my three millions of subjects—l have all lineups for a witness of what I have hitherto done to bring my subjects near to me, and unite myealf with them, that I might become acquainted with their wants, and make provision for them. It is with the object ef better knowing these wants, and providing for the exigencies of the public welfare, that I have united yon in a permanent council—it is to listen, in case of need, to your advice, and avail myself of in aid In sty sovereign reso lutions, in which I shall consult my own conscience, and con fer upon it with my ministers and the sacred college. He will deceive himself greatly who shall see la the Consults di Stem, which I have just crested, a realisation of his own Utopian notions, or the germ of an institution incompatible with the pontifical (sovereignty. His holiness, having deli vered these words with some warmth of emphasis, paused an instant, and then, resuming his natural mildness, con tinued to the following effect ..—These words are not ad dressed to any of you, whose social education and Christian and civil probity, as well as the loyalty and rectitude of your intentions, were known to me from the moment at which I proceeded to your election. Neither do these word* apply to the mem of my subjects, for I am sure of their fidelity and obedience. I know that the hearts of my subjects are united with mine in the love of order and concord. But, unfor tunately, there exist some persons (small in number, it is true, still they do exist), who, having nothing to lose, are fend of disorder and revolt, and even abuse concessions. It is to them that these words are addressed—lit them well con sider their signification. In the co-operation of the depu ties, I see only a firm support from persons who, divesting themselves of ail private interests, will labour with me, by their councils, for the public good, and who will not be stopped by the vain words of restless and injudicious men. You will aid me with your wisdom to find that which is most necessary for the security of the throne and for the real happiness of my subjects. Having concluded his speech, the holy father ad mitted the deputies singly to kiss his feet. He then rose, and gave them his benediction, adding that he enjoined them to commence their labours with the aseistance of God, and that he was sure that their endeavours would be fruitful in good results, and that they would fulfil the wishes of his heart. FRANCE—INFLUENZA AT MARSElLLES.—lndivi duals arriving from Marseilles inform us that, upon a popu lation of 160,000 souls, the half at least is confined to bed through the influenza, which has broken out in this town within the last week. Persons of an apprehensive nature — and Marseilles is full of such—remembering that the in fluenza preceded the cholera morbus, and reading in the journals the new itinerary of the Asiatic scourge, feel their terrors increase, though the pliant epidemic a as inoffen sive as the former one, A veryThrious fact connected with the influenza at Marseilles is, that the Luxor, a steamer from Alexandria to Marseilles, arrived in Egypt having the in fl on board. Its progress was such that the steamer could not continue its voyage as far as Syria.—La Prene. We hear from Orleans that the Loire has not been so low as it is this winter for upwards of 22 years. Want of water prevents all sail navigation, and the erdrepif of Orleans is consequently empty. BRUSSELS.—CHASIBER OP REPRESETATIVES.— The Chamber of Representatives has definitively adopted the project of law relative to the modifications of the postal regime. M. Cosel presented the report of the central sec tion on the budget of the public debt—the chamber has fixed the discussion at the clo.e of that of the budget for foreign affairs and the marine, which stands as the order of the day for Monday. The Minister of Finance presented a demand for a supplementary loan of 160,0721. for the budget of foreign affairs, to be applied to the army for 1847, and pre. 'lonely two sections have named their reports for the pro- jects of law, which opens a credit of 500,000 f., demanded by the minister of the interior for the interest of Flanders, and the cantons of Hainault and Brabant. GERMANY.—AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, Nov. 16. HUNGARIAN Dray.—A Vienna letter of the 18th, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says : " The representatives of the magnates and the elate of the Hungarian nation have remarked with interest the presence at the Diet of the Em peror surrounded solely by Hungarian counsellors. The Prince of Metternich and the Minister of State, Count de Kollowrath, were not, as has hitherto been the case, by the side of his Majesty. This circumstance created a powerful sensation in the opporitioo, which regards so enemies all ministers of German origin. Thus the Hungarian Diet has opened under happy auspices, and favourable results are an ticlpated." YRUSSIA.—MEETIKO OP THE BERLIN DELE OATEB.—The first public sitting of the council of delegates at Berlin attracted great numbers of spectators. The sitting was opened with some solemnities. The delegates and the mem bers of the regency were all decorated with the insignia of their functions. The president of the provinces and of the police, as well as the Ministers of Finance and of War, and several other high functionaries, were present. The debates were confined exclusively to local questions They were followed by a dinner, at which about 600 persons were present. MENDELSSOIIN THE COMPOSER.—TheGerman jour nals give very interesting particulars relative to the death of the celebrated Mendelssobn. Mendelssohn was brought up with a sister, who married an artist of the name of Hammel. He himself married, about ten years ago, the daughter of • senator of Frankfort. These two families were inseparable. Mendelssohn, and his sister Fanny Haensel, formed but one soul. This remarkable woman was herself a good composer, and directed the first steps of her brother m his musical career. About nine months ago Fanny Menzel composed a symphony, the performance of which she conducted herself. At the commencement of the fifth part Madame Hammel dropped dead of an apopletic fit. Since that time M. Men delssohn wandered about like a shadow among the living. In a letter addressed to his wife he says : "Our common soul has taken her flight to Heaven. I greatly fear I shall shortly go to meet her, for Fanny always promised she would come ' and take me from this world, should she die before me." , Two months after Mendelssohn died of an apoptetic fit. , The Augsburg Gazette states that the cholera has appeared in two villages, Schmalenisgkea and Georgenburg, on the Prussian and Russian frontiers. - • RUSSlA.—Moseow, Nov. 12.—We know nothing certain relative to the number of persons who have fallen victims here to the cholera. If we can trust to official docu ments, they have never exceeded 100 per day, even in the most dreadful days. But physicians say that the mortality has been very great. At one time there was a report that the theatres were to be closed, especially those the most proper to attract crowds. Upon macula reflection the theatres bare continued open. The season is exactly similar to that of 1830, the year when the cholera made its first ap pearance. We are now at the end of October (Russiao le ) andweleha d a but p.i two nights ht: of mere very ri s l ight Lcig frost. We g o out without and are even thus inconvenienced by the haat. The same frequency of aurora borealis and other meteorological phe nomena are remarked as in 1830. Oa the most dreadful night we witnessed an aurora borealis of the most splendid kind. Two physicians of the French theatre have fallen victims to it. As to the different modes of treatment adopted, we must plane camphorated frictions among the remedies which have obtained the beet result. The out break of the scourge has caused a financial crisis such as has no precedent in late times. All the principal families of Moscow have left the town. We sell nothing, for nothing is demanded • and bankruptcy, a second scourge, has joined that which h as reached us from the Caucasus. GERMAN HOSPITAL On Saturday a special general court of governors was held at the London Tavern, B. B.

STAUNTON, M.P., movedthat the report be received. The motion having been seconded, Dr. FREUND said that he was willing to admit tome of t h e charges that had been alleged against him, but he still w i t h , tained that others of them were untrue. He had eo oppo r . tnnity of bringing forward witnesses to rebut these charges, or of cross-examining the witnesses who were produced against him. He confessed that he had been betrayed i nto too much warmth of temper, and he was cony for it. Mad been said thar.if he did not resign, the King of Prussia would withdraw hie subscriptions, that Chevalier Bunsen would withdraw his, that the committee would resign, a n d t h at his medical colleagues would retire. It was very eurp n • • that the parties who made these statements etre . hag through Mr. Ald. Sidney, the highest testimonial,, sad something still more substantial, if he resigned, but his reply was that he would not listen to any proposals of that kiatf, as he wanted only what was just and proper. Mr. ADOLPHUS BACH denied that any such prop ose ], came from the committee, and called on Mr. Ald. Sidney to explain himself. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY, M. P., confirmed in !mad terms the correctness of Dr. Freund's statement, but being pressed still further to explain, he said that Chevalier HeUelercame to him on Wednesday last, and told himon the part of Chevalier Bunsen that the King of Prussia world withdraw his support from the hospital if Dr. Freund did not resign, that he (Chevalier Bunsen) would alto withdraw, and that the committee and medics] staff would resign. IV, was told to inform Dr. Freund that if he did resign h e would receive testimonials of their esteem and regard, and that as he was put to considerable expense in regard to the hospital, and was lstely married, they would give kin substantial proofs of their regard in something else. (Hest) Mr. E. BUNSEN said that his father, as a philanthropist, and as having the interest of the hospital at heart, was most anxious that peace should be secured, and be was willing to make every effort for this purpose. He might have failed in his object, as others had failed, but he did not think any on. would doubt the purity of his intentions. It was only to be regretted, as Dr. Freund hod thought fit to introduce this in terference on the part of his father, that his father had thought himself called upon to try what he could do, in his private capacity. to restore peace and harmony. After some further discussion, the report was received. , Mr. Alderman lattoxar, M.P., then proposed the follow. ing resolution : That the general court of directors, whilst It regrets the want of harmony subsisting between the authorities of the hopital, i. a opinion that Dr. Freuud's active uerhaboess from the very fotuidalits ot the hospital-that the asoduous, benevolent, sad humane tendert evinced by him in the discharge of the office of enacting peyote.- entitle bias to the continued coufidenee of the etipporters this met. lent charity. In so doing he said that he had shown it to Mr. Bunsen, who signified that be would support it if two words were struck out, which words were acoordiogly struck out. lie also quoted the testimonials of Chevalier Bunsen, of Mr. A. Key, Sir B. Brodie, and others, in favour of the zeal, acti vity, and ability of b... Freund. Sir G. Stranneote seconded the resolution. Mr. TATLOR said it would be degrading to the committee to retain their seats after the report which had been read, if the resolution which had been proposed were carried. HA would therefore move as an amendment: That in oonsequence of Dr. Freund has big publicly declared In the general court of governors of the 11th of October, the report of the haws exotnittes on the subject of his conduct on the 25th of Sept. to be a lie, ens thla report lamina now been declared by the 130111psittee of investigation as to his conversation and conduct to be proved, that Dr. Freund be requested to resign. Mr. LiAIDECICENS seconded the amendment, and said that it would be impossible for the committee to act with Dr. Freund. It would be the ruin of the charity if the resolu tion were carried. Mr. Alderman Sionav said he was perfectly astounded at the conduct of the committee in proposing the amendment, after what had been said to him by Mr. Bunsen, that he would support the resolution. Mr. Bunion said that Mr. Alderman Sidney forgot to mention that he only promised to do so on the understand ing that Dr. Freund was to make an ample and unequivocal apology. He had hoped that parties might be brought to gether, but now it was impossible. Mr. S. Quartet said that in cases like the present it was always better that a separation should take place, and he would put it to Dr. Freund whether it would not be for his own interest and peace as well as for the interest of the has pital that he should resign. After some remarks from Mr. C. Cochrane and others a division took place on the amendment, from which it ap peared that there were 33 for and 37 against it. The amend ment was consequently lost, and the original was then carried. The meeting then eeperated. THE BISHOP-ELECT OF MANCHESTER.—Ssturdsy had teen appointed for the censecration of Dr. Lee, st Whitehall Chapel, but the ceremony was postponed it was understood, after the trial of the criminal informative filed by the prelate elect against Mr. Gutteridge. TESTIMONIAL TO B. HAWES, EsQ FROM TEI Etat-rose or Laneirra.—On Friday evening a meeting of the subscribers to the fund for presenting a tentiosonial to B. Hawes, Esq., one of the late members for the borough of Lambeth, was Xeld at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, L. Redhead, Esq , in the chair. The secretory read the report of the committee, showing that the sum of seven hun dred pounds had been received, end that additional sums had been promised. The committee recommended that the fund should be applied to cover the expenees of any election that might take place for the return of Mr. Hawes to parliament for any borough that might seek his services—a reservation of one hundr.d pounds being roads for the peep se of pre senting to Mr. Hawes a piece of plate, bearing an inscription that should set forth the object for which the fond had been raised. Amongst other communications a letter had been received from Sir John Stoddut, enclosing • dealt for 101., and stating his inten tion to make it 601. in the event of the sute scribers determining to appropriate the fund to the purpose of promoting Mr. Hawee's return to parliament —J. H. Harmon, Esq., proposed a resolution embodying the reconr osendation of the committee. He said—The most suitable and graceful compliment you could pay to Mr. Hawn, would be to restore him to that place in the House of Cot e mons which be had so usefully and honourably occupied. Some gentlemen, however, more cautious than their neigh. boars, called upon the meeting to act on the discreet sags of that eminent professional, Mrs. Glasse, and first elk their hare," in other words, to raise a fond before elsee mining upon the mode of its disposal. That was menial' ye o ice recommendation ; for it might tarn nit that the ini would be inadequate to the purpose of carrying out there peal, whilst on the other hand it might so happen Mad would be too large to be limited to the wimple object ef piece of plate. Hs was happy to say the latter was thereon to be dealt with. The committee went forth to their labium with a very long resolution for their guidance, and 2 si t i t some back with a very short one, and say they have 7001., and that other lama have been promised.
