I will endeavour to give you a decryption of the events of the last ketaight, although say picture that my vet can trona to year mind will always f.ll far surto( the horrible reality. From the 21rd Oat (elm the real attack upon the aborts began) till the 28sh, we heard daily th • most tearful cannonading at all the saberban gates and at the sustrosi on bridge, over welch the Crestless wan trying to force a postage Oa MS side, sad which was barricaded and defended by the national murals an tits other. The Croatians had someded in entering the Pater through the Brigittenau, whirs th.y had throws a bridge over the Danube at Nei. don.

We ere cawing (I think O. was the 25th ) counted thirteen Ms from oar wisdom., all in the Leopoidnadt. This on. Actuate suburb suffered most of rill ; the beautiful saloon elle Odeon was burnt to the around, and three to four heated pawns, supposed to have compel from the Brigit. tau, lay buried nude, the Unmans* lead** roof, whirls fell with a crash on the unfortunate hums, and which Still lir where it teU, as it will require wicks to raise it.

Be fog the fight in :he street was ended, the red runCes kid bosun to enter the houses and shops. There had been a command issued that the doom of the houses were to be left open to urn as refuge for the national guards, but of which they did not avail themselves, preferring to retreat into the inner town. 8o the red mantle; who followed at their keels found the doors of the loam open, which in the confusion could not be ant in time to k. ep them out. Five of them rushed into our house together, firing at the porter, who stood under the gateway. They fortunately aimed him, and he instantly jumped into a sewer which happened to be open. The ruffians then seized upon hi wife, and holding a dagger to her throat, demanded money. At this terrible moment two cavalry officer, who nest likely were anxious to escape from the firing in the street, galloped into the yard, and saved us all from a dreadful fate. A few minutes afterwards, a wounded Cordite otil•cr, the lint.-col. of the regiment, was carried in, and instantly pa orders that sobo y in the house should be molested.

NEWFOUNDLAND.—The elections were yet un decided when the wail left. The blend preys complains that the irresponsible council will -mil es the elective useably. ltesporsible government is denied to the people, who are to be !covet sod in future by P council, selected by the crown, who, it appears. like the old Council of Twelve, in Nova Scotia, are t., exercise both executive sisd legislative functions. The council ie to be composed tithe following persons : tke Cr,m sander of the Forme, Lb nt.-Col. Law ; the Attorney.Oee end, B. M. Archibald, Fag. ; the Colonial Secretary, J. Crowdy, Esq.; the Collector ot her blajesiy's Customs, .1. M. Spearman, Esq. ; W. Thomas, Esq. ; the Colonial Trea sorer, P. Morris, Bag. ; Acting ILlicitor General, W. B Row, Esq.; J. Tobin, EN. ; the Surveyor-General, J. ?load, Esq. Ou such a body the vote of the Commons wool I have as little effect as the moaning of the idle winds. There must be some measure of responsibility in public servants 11 the pub lic, in Newfoundland se elsewhere, to make the people sails fled with their political condition. The press of the colony, generally, condemns the "new constitution." We quote ' the language 01 the Newfoundlander as to the expected practical results therefrom " For the revival, in great part, of the old constitution we have long been prepared. We ; looked for separate chambers and for an assembly of fifteen ; but we certainly did hop* that the modification so essential as the separation of the executive and legislative councils would have presented at least one distinction in favour of the beneficial op:ration of the new system. Experience has abundantly shows the mischievous result of combining these distinct functions in the same men, and reason as clearly in dicates them. Under such a system, what influence hither* prevent a repetition of those scenes of coetiict between . the Council and the AP•embly which before operated to the obstruction of legislat;es, and finally to the suspension of the constitution? The same elements will bo set in motion again, and no one who renumbers the past and looks at the present, coo rationally doubt that such collisions will again occur. The obvious security against these proceedings con sists in the formation of an executive distinct from the legis lative branch's, though composed of members from each—a , body who should preserve the equilibrium indispensable to harmony, and to the satlstectuy discharge of the public • business, and who should introduce, and be prepared to de ; fend, the measures of the government in the Am mbly. CANADA.—Oar dates from the colony are to the 21st ult. The meeting of the provincial parliament his been postponed to some day —not vet fixed—after the com mencement of next year. The /WM (regarded as the amnia terial organ) vindicate s this postponement, which had been cavilled at, on the following grounds : All., mature emaidetatioe, and after having iluly weighed all that an be urged on bait aver, it has bees deemed that the public inte rests will be lest promoted by a postponeni rat of the tart& until the oandscement of the year. We dal state • few of the re -ova which reader such add expedient.

By meeting in November, thi prohohnite min that or legidature would be prorogued before the important question of the sedgettion law• could be submitted to the parliament as Eng land. by meeting early in January there will be ample time, not only for baking any measures rehab may be deemed advisable to la ' lame the imperial parliament, but also foe ascertaining the prod , balite of our demands being imoeded to. The American Conners is 'to meet In December, and slit terminate Its eessios in Moab.

Ozber reasons might desk lea he given far the delay. These reroons are SO strung, that it is strange they lid nut occur to the provincial Madders before they &idiom ced their intention to assemble the legislature in November. The expectation that the imperial parliament will gra,iple next session with the question of the navigation laws is the principal reason assigned for the postponement : if the foi l. ie in t statement, which we copy from the lloselve Morning elsronkle of the 19th ult., ba correct, there to no time to hie loot in throwing open the sang ition of the St. Lawrence : Tie Transcript of Tueseloy last gives a moot dolorous atcoant of the state Madura in Moutred.

Yesterday, the fi rst meeting for the season of the Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law, took place at the Society's Rooms, in Rernt-street, Mr. Ser pleat Manning in the chair. Mr. V. Near.' brought forward, pursuant to notice, his motion for a committee of inquiry into the law of partner ship, more especially es it affected partners in joint stock banks. One object he bad in proposing the inquiry was to ascertain whether the system or partnership, en commandite, would be applicable to the commercial transactions of this ceautrr. He moved that the question be referred to a com mittee to be named. Mr. C. WEBSTER, in seconding the motion, said that he W bees in several foreign countries in which partnerships as acouseasedits were earned on and had always heard that their working was satisfactory. The system was that two ce Woe selected partners were made liable to the whole amount of their fortunes to the liabilities of the concern, and the remainder only to the amount of their shares or capital Invested. If the principle were adopted in England—and Its adoption might be desirable—it would be necessary to Nmeiat official Inspectors periodically to examine the books eUthe various concerns. .—.----.—. Mr. Licata-ix, M.P., said that the subject was one of very great importance to the commercial world, and, there fore, he trusted that any one who could throw light on it would come forward and assist the committee with their evidence._ . . Dr. ill•Kaxsts bore testimony to the satisfacto7 manner in which partnenhips en comma ndite had worked in various foreign countries. The Cs/AMAX said that the principle was already carried out in the mining districts, when shareholders In mines were only liable to the amount of their shares, The motion was then put and agreed to. Question referred to a cna. mina. Mr. JAMES SWART proceeded to read the report of a committee appointed at the last meeting of the society to in quire into as state of the law reepeeting the confinement of pesos altased to be lunatics. The report stated that three shim/ et limaUes had been recognised by legislation, namely, paupers, persons declared lunatics by a commission, and persons not so declared but confined in private lunatic asylums. With the first two clams the committee had rot muinered, but had directed their attention entirely to the third class. It _waxed that the number of lunatics in Bailand and Wales was at the present moment about 30,000, about 3 out of 100 being lunatics under the care of the Court of Charcery. The principal act for the protec tion of middle class lunatics, that wee to say than whoa property did not admit of a commission, but who were con fined in private asylums, was the 8 & 9 Vie., c. 100, which prevented e the reception of such lunatics in say other than bonus. The committee thought that that act might be mash Improved, and called attention to two important peinte—first, the liberty rf alleged lunatics, and sessolly, their property. At present, the necessary preliminary to perenal restraint was the certifi cate of a medial an, whisk might, under particaler eir erameteame, be einuiptly given, mai thereby, CM committee 12ra add an maimed= lry menee person bearing a ehereseer. When preetlesble they reeornmended the masters ht homy, and when theme were not available, judges of county aura, se amegietratee at sessions. With Menses to prepay the eememittee suggested that in all was where it wie et 'too moil an asememS te bear the ex pense of a commission, a mee he whisk at present there was no provision, It shenki be vested in an official committee, and deinhaugg for the b ioi dd of the lunatic by the masters In homy. The oesnattee bad aseartained that it might be as admislatered at an expense not exceeding 1 per ant. With reismcies to the private asylums, the committee did net reasammed their immediate abolition, but earnestly advised salelsehepsetion. One regulation they were most anxious to ahem, namely, a regular system of visitation by the clergy. Dr. Connolly had lestibsd to its vast lm and it might be @say tarried eat by the parochial clergy. if payment were req= e t t lt or e committee advised that it should be levied an the tithe establishment. The enunittise celled attention to the feet that the asylums containing eel one ratient, commonly gelled "single patient houses," were wholly tnprovided for by the legislature. There were great numbers of them about Imndon. and it was suggested that the system of inspection should be s :tended to these. The last recommendation of the report was that persons employed in the capture of Inns tics should he regularly registered, and that a coroner's in. quest should be hold an every death LAM' place in ea asylum. AN., a short conversation the report was ordered to Le prihad for circulation among the members, and the meeting adjourned to Dec 11 neat. LORD CARDIGAN AND THE 11TH Iltiosents.—The John Bull her published a statement relative to Lord Car digan, rounded upon a cue, the alleged circumstances of which are bri fly these: a short time sines the Hon. Gerard Noel, • captain to the corps of which Lord Cardigan is colonel, having been late at stables reported himself, express ing regret for his breach of disciplise. Ho was at onee plead under arrest by the colonel, and the arrest remained in force until the regiment left the town, on which occasion Captain Noel marched out in the rear of his troop, without ' his sword, the usual course adopted towards ..flicers under arrest Soon afterwards Captain Noel was again placed ander arrest, for not returning to his duty during the Easter Imlidays, the rule, however, being that talkers in the army, who are also members of the legislature, may at any time &brut themeless from their regiment—without the neon sky of obtaining leave of aliser ce—to attend their parlia mentary dude , . From this arrest, so soon as it was known, Captain Noel was released by the general of the district. Noticing after his liberation from Vie second arrest, Capt. Noel, not being exactly on the spot where at the moment he ought to have hue, Lord Cardigan peremptorily called out to him. " Capt. Noel, go to your troop, sir !" T. which or- der the capt.in replied, " 1 am with my troop, air ;" bring immediately answered by his lordship, " You ere not, sir ; none of your London manners hi re Ilurt by the colonel's words, he raked for a private interview, at which he eked Lord Cardigan why inaubing language bad been applied to him on parade, in the presence of his troop ? The answer received was "Oct oat of my room, sir !" Thereupon Capt Noel laid the whole matter before the Commander-in chief, who, after a considerable correspondence with the parties, directed, through the Adjutant General, that Cant. Noel should spare to Lord Cardigan, a direction wl.h which Capt. Noel, in the presence of the Adjutant-General, Lord Cudigan, and other authorities, refused to comply. The Host. Captain Noel is member for he county of Rut land ; his father, the Rail of Gainsborouab, is a supporter of ' the government, though the captain himself is a conserva tive ; his maternal uncle is Sir G. Grey, the Home Secretary, and hie atepmcther is lady of the bedchamber. Captain Noel writes to the commander in -chief, exprening his wish to obey his grace's commands, but praying in the first in stance foe a court of inquiry. The Duke of Wellington refuses the court of inquiry upon p-inciple, and a court mar tial is impracticable, for before such &tribunal Lord Cardigan must prefer his charge. Here the matter rests.

Sir,—l am very mach obliged indeed by your no tice of me and my opinions in last Saturday's Erpress (4th Nov.), and I am gratified even where you express dissent. Diacordia amino MINI. T 1 ei best foundation for an ulti mate well-considered agreement is a preliminary minor dif ferent*. You all us ultra-humane; but you do not appear to observe that I seek the reform of the criminal u much for ' the sake of society as of himself. I contend that crime will be more effectually stayed by our reforming our prisoners through suffering strictly eubordinated to this end than by making them suffer for example's sake, irrespective of the object of reform altogether, do that, if we differ at all, it is not in the end, but the means. I own, indeed, that I very little vales what is commonly called deterring example. I ' almost doubt its existence. Strange u the fact may appear to those who have set goes deeply into the subject, yet surely any is bettor established than that severe punish masts stimulate liaise, rather than repress it. An active polios is your truss deterring agency. When the criminally disposed hesitate over the commisuen of an offence, it is the themes of &testi= that they calculate, not its penalties. And we all familiarly act an the same principle. We go hunting, er otherwise risk life and limb when we have many chances of escape , without hesitation, and on the slightest temptation; but we do not, without a much stronger inducement, approach our fingers to a candle, or in any other way incur a certain, though even very minor, mown venithce. I do not then nine "deterring example;" but for the criminal's own make, and also for that of society, I value the infiklice of psi. and Inconvenience in punishment very meth. Our moral sense requires this, besides all other con midstream ; only let the nature and degree of this pain be strictly regulated by its tendency to reform or otherwise. If condunve to improvement, let it go to any extent; if tending to corrupt, let it be proscribed, for this reason only, whatever its other apparent advantages. This is the whole humanity of the mark system; and if there appear to y.O to he too much of the mildness of the dove in it, a long exoe name has convinced me that it is not without a full propor tion of the wisdom of the serpent also. We stay an epidemic by first curing those ' , acted with it, and we shall masteffectivelystayaime in like by first , reforming those who have once committed it. Above 200,000 individuals now pass annually through the gaols of the United Kingdom, of whom n more than from 3,000 to 6,000 have been transported within the sumo period, who have also gone to other English communities. By seeking primarily to make scarecrows of the whole number, we have practically unfitted most of them for any other useful parr pore, and our criminal returns show whether we have stayed crime or promoted it by such means. You object to my " social sixes," which you think too hard on criminals. But I think nothing too hard that is calculated to improve them, and this is eminently so. It tends to make offence unpopular and good conduct popular, even in a community of criminals, and much is gained by thus giving even to their sympathies a right direction. It also opens many selfish hearts ; and if society relieves from the penalties of misconduct by an improving probation, it has surely a right, accrrding to the brat of its judgment, to prescribe the required course. Among its other demands, it does not seem much either to require an earnest and in terested endeavour to keep others right as well as each indi vidual himself; and the plan has further abundant precedent in free life. If six men go in a boat together, the indiscre tion of one may deeply injure all ; yet this is not a hardship on them, but an inducement to each to exercise a wholesome influence over his companions, and the benefit of all is thus promoted by it. And so on, in many other instances. I am particularly attached to this detail, and have found none more successful in practical application. I shall not however pursue the subject further row. I hope to give vou shortly an occasion and inducement to recur to it. It is by frequent recurrence, not by tweet single efforts, that success in it is to be attained. I shall only then add here, that I do not at all agree with Beccaria, as you seem to imagine in thinking that the mount of damage inflicted by an offence should be its measure of punishment. On the contrary, I think that no test could well be mote fal &dom. It is by a moral, not pecuniary standard, that crime should be estimated; for the amount of a theft is ususlly rather the measure of opportunity afforded for it, than of the delinquency involved in eff, etint it, and many offence.' that cause little damage yet show deep depravity. The true measure seems to be the used in which, according to the circumstances of his ease, each individual seems to stand of passing through an improving course, and the amount of proof of improvement which, on the face of the same circum stances, society is consequently entitled to require before again discharging him. And, on this footing, relapses would be much more severely dealt with than they now are. In re tard to them I would be almost pitiless. I would shoe my humanity by inflicting the severest reforming penalty on them that I could devise, but not even them would I de moralise.—A. MACONOCIITE. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 13. The emigration from Waterford, Cork, and Lime rick primed. with vigour. In the metropolis, the de sire to try their fortune in the New World has very generally seized on our small trailing class, and they have a sort of organisation fur the establishment in America of a colony derived from home. A number of our shopkeepers, alarmed by the prospect of the times and the little hope of improvement which pre sents itself, have agreed to emigrate in a body. They have purchased a small territory in the district of Wisconsin, and thither they propose to proceed, and found, perhaps, a city. Each will leave home with a sum of 2,0001. at least, either in cash or mer chandise, and with such funds at their disposal they persuade themselves, and no doubt truly, tbat with energy and industr y they must succeed. The ab straction of each an element from such a society as ours is a serious loss. Of the class which is proceedicg towards the " Far West " from Waterford a journal now before me says: "Were it our poor population supplied with funds to emigrate we would not regret, but the stream is from our most industrious farming class, who are carrying with them considerable pro perty converted into hard cash." The Guild of Bricklayers and Masons of Limerick have appealed through the public prints to the humanity of their townsmen for contributions to a fund they are raising to enable their active and un employed members to emigrate. Armed bands (says the Limerick Chronicle), with their faces blackened, nightly parade the country ; and the same journal records a list of eight separate robberies. The preparations made for the enforcement of the distresses ler poor rates in the Gort union, seems to have had an admirable effect on the constructors of barricades and cheraux-de-frise. On Thursday last the military and police moved out of Gort, under orders of Sir Michael Createh, to support the rate collectors. But, lo! the barricades had been all re- moved, and every sign of obstruction had disappeared. The result of the day's proceedings was a payment of 3001. to the rate collector. His future operation, will doubtless meet no violent opposition there. It is a fact sadly illustrating the condition of the agricultural class, that within a circle of three miles from the place where the recent murder of the bailiff was perpetrated, near Limerick, there were as many as four-and-twenty other bailiffs in charge of seizures, that is to say, in that small circuit of a fruit ful district, with a good market, four-and twenty farmers were unable to pay their rent. Two persons named Flanagan are in custody, for the murder of the unhappy bailiff. I perceive to-day, by a local paper, that in an electoral division of the same county, en Kilmallock Union, 26 families, supposed to number 130 souls, are about to be evic ted, notice to that effect, in the terms of the statute of the late ses sion, has been served on the relieving officer. In this same union of Kilmallock, on the last meeting day of the poor law guardians there were 200 paupers in waiting outside the workhouse for admission or relief.

Tut ARTISTS' ANNUITY FUND.—Sir,—There lately appear din the Observer what warmed to be a statement of facts relative to a recent embezzlement by the secretary of a society to which I have the honour to belong. This article, omitting the Observer's comments, was copied into your paper, I therefore claim your indulgeneo to stall: that, index es for as regards the fact of the embezzlement, thn amount of that embezzlement, and the name of the defaulter, the article is written in ignorance. I will not presum.. on your space by entering into any of the particulars of this utdoitunate affair, because I believe the public have no right to be in formed of the transactions of a private society ; hut I will just state—First. That the name of that society is erroneously given. It should have been the " Artists' Annuity F a una l " and not the "Artists' Fund Benevolent Society ." — SS y. When the Observer states that the " public should interpose to cause the artists to relinquish the entire miteag• meat of a society, for the management of which they have shown themselves utterly incompetent," he seems not to he aware that the public have as little right to interfere in the affairs of the " Artists' Annuity r und," as in the management of Magi. Coutt's and Co.'s banking-house. There is not one penny of public money in it. It is • mutual assur ance society, to which the members alone are subscribers.— Thirdly. I take leave to say, that however annoying it may be to be robbed of 8261., we are not in such a state of pau perism as to look to this sum as " the last twig upon which to rest for support during • dreary winter," since we have funded property to somewhere about the amount of 16,00 I.— Fourthly . It is not true that the late secretary, alter his fol. mer detalcation " stood again as a candidate with others," and was re-elec ted: under such circumstances.—Fifthly. It is not true that we have in our society the " selfish and un wise law that none but a member can be elected le eretary." On the contrary this is,'l bell AC. the first instance of a mem ber's election to that efilee ; end he was so elected, because the majority who voted for him believed • member would take more interest in the well-being of the society. Sixthly, it is not true that t. to defraud the swiety does not deprive a member of privileges ;" and the " sequel " will show the contrary in this inetance.—Seventhly. It is not true that 1501. was all the security the society 'squired for the secretary's honesty. And now to conclude, I will just odd, that when the writer of the article which you t eve repub lished throws such sweeping censure en those who have the management of the society's affairs, and upon artists in ge neral, he proves his ignorance of the means by wi ich the embezzlement was effected, and his incompetency to inform the public on a matter which, unLoris throu 4 h a court of law, should not have been brought before their notice.—l am, sir, &c., J. H. LYNCH, 3, Polygon, Clarendon-square. [We have thought it right to leave out certain passages in this letter, not one, however, which in any way affected the general argument. If the article in the Observer he likely to mislead the public, Mr. Lynch's letter will not clear up the ea=lt is quite true, as Mr. Lynch states, that the ' Annuity Fund" so a mutual assurance society, and that there "is not one penny of public money in it." But he has forgotten to qate that there is attached to the society "The Artists' 13-nevolent Fund," every shillirg of whose funds—about 1.0001. per annum—is contributed by the public for the sole purpose of granting annuities, not to artists generally, but exclusively to the widows and children of the subscribing member. e , th.. Annuity Fund.] eallSlt. - - SOCIETY OF BRITISH AIUSICIANS.—This society has commenced its fifteenth acuson with a series of chamber concerts at the Hanover-square Rooms. The tlrst took place lest evening, and was attend. d by a numerous audi ence, among whom we observed many distinguished pro fessors and amateurs. The performance commenced with Mendelsaohn's Qeintet in A for two violins, two tenors, and violoncello, performed by Messrs. Watson, B. W. Thomas, Weslake. R. Blegrove, and W. F. Reed. It was ad mirably executed, and had a charming effect, es pecially the scherzo, a movement strikingly cha. racteristic of Mendelseohn's genius. Mile M. Williams sang a ballad, " The winter it is past," composed by Miss Kate Loder. It was pretty; but had the fair composer known the simple, plain:lye little Scotch melody to which the verses properly belong, she would not have thought of join ing them to any other maiie. Mozart's " Voi the sapete " was sung by Miss Thornton with much beauty of voice, and in a pure style ; but she did not give the various shades of expression which form the difficulty of this air. The Misses Williams then sang a duet, "Where honeyed roses," cons posedby Mr. 3. B. Catkin—a pleasing, but not remarkable composition, very nicely sung. A sonata for the pianoforte and violin, by Mr. Walter Macferren, was played by Messrs. Liadsay Sloper and Watson. The music is redolent of Mendelssohn from beginning to end, but har much merit, especially the scherzo, which is fanciful and animated. It received great justice from the executants. The second part of the concert began with a quartet for two violins, tenor, and violoncello, by Mr. C. Potter, performed by Mesas. B. W. Thomas, Watson, Weslake, and Reed ; an excellent and classical composition of the sch-.0l of Haydn and Mozart, clear in design, ingenious in its combinations, end full of pleasing melody. The finale was especialy vigorous and spirited. Mr. W. H. Seguin then sang Hendei's fins air, " Tette rea," from the opera of "Scipione," with an effect which produced a gen_ral encore. Tw i soap, com posed by Mr. Charles Horsley, were sung by Miss A. Wil liams, with • violoncello o bligati accompaniment by Mr. Reed. The one is entitled a " Rmnade," the other " The Water Lily." Both have merits, but they are quite in the modern German style, and more remarkable for the rich ness and fulness of the accompaniments than for the beauty and expression of the melodies. Beethoven's grand trio in B flat for the pianoforte, violin, and violoncello was then performed by Miss Kate Leder ; and a trio from Macfar ren's " Devil's Opera" concluded a very interesting concert. JULLIEN'S CONCERTS at Drury-lane Theatre con tinua to attract numerous audiences. Last evening a per was introduced who is new to the majority of the London musical world, although in some few select circles here his powers are known and appreciated. This was M. Vivier, who performed a solo on the French born, intro ducing a cadenza and some new effects of harmony. His playing is smooth and finished ; his cantabile pangs@ are beautiful, both in tone and expression ; and he has disco vered the means of producing harmonic sounds of which his instrument has hitherto been deemed incapable, end which he employs with exquisite effect. Altogether, the perform ance was such as to give this gentleman a high rank amongst the soloists of the day. be Drama• Anztrwt.—Last night a new farce styled " Slasher and Crasher " was produced here, and met with a reception as unequivocally successful a, even the author could desire. It is one of those grotesque com•diettas peculiar to the esta blishment, and affords ample opportunties to Messrs. Wright and Paul Bedford for a display of their mirth-producing capabilities. The author has thrown together, with more skill than is usually exercised on such slight productions, s number of laughable situations, and has also illustrated them with even more than the usual allowance of droll and quaint sayings.
