LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8. No doubt can be entertained that Vienna has fallen, and that the combined parties of ancient despotism, represented by the Court, of the old feudal aristocracy, personated by WINDISCIIGRATZ, and of a blind military power based on Sclavonian regiments, which neither speak nor feel German, have for the present triumphed over the civic German population which raised the cry of liberty, decreed representative government, and restored the provinces of the empire to those original rights and ancient freedom, of which they were deprived three centuries ago by the princes of the house of Austria. It is difficult to form a calm and Tatiana judgment of contemporary revolution', on which people are apt to look, not as upon distinct objects, but as mirrors in which men regard merely what repro duces or concerns themselves. The toriee, indeed, never consider these foreign troubles and revolutions on their own merits, but merely seek to swell and exaggerate them into spectres and hobgoblins, to frighten old ladies and fine gentlemen at home with the fearful consequences of political progress. The tories care little for imperial or royal houses. The things which affright and threaten them aro reform, retrenchment, a communication to the people of more right, more influence, more dirnity, or more earnings, a diminution of standing armies and idle placemen. All these innocent and desirable improvements would rain the trade in toryism, and in order to cast a slur upon its opponents and Produce a stand-still, if not a retrograde movement, all those natural and legiti mate efforts that foreign countries are now making to extricate themselves from despotism, and which we mada before them, are represented as symptoms of the one great and dangerous epidemy. Liberalism it the Wince] cholera, of which extension of the 'mt. frege and red republicanism are symptoms differing merely in degree. The demand of the ballot at home is as felonious as the cry of nee In Guillotine over the Channel. The congress of pesos in Exeter-hall is put in the same category as a war meeting of the Parisian democrats in the .fardin (Player. And zealous writers imagine they are castigating the new reform • twiner the popular - • Movement when e•• 1• •• - • mg Vienna and Berlin. Englishmen, however, have sufficiently outgrows political infancy to be aware that they have far out lived the danger and difficulties which beset torah , states as Austria and Prussia. We have gone through ' such great ordeals two centuries ago. What we have to fear, to hope, to do, is as far removed from conti nental feelings and events, as JOAN HAMPDEN, is from Monsieur LEDIN ROLLIN. Putting aside, therefore, the phantasmagoria horrors of oar tory contempora ries, let us throw the Viennese revolution to a suffi cient distance to allow us to udge it impartially. Is there any reader of the History of the French Revolution at the present day, who does not rejoice at the defeat of the Duke of Baesevries by Du sornme, and who does not think it a good and wise result, which then baffled the attempt of the deep tism and ariitocracy of Europe to crash the newly born freedom of France? At that dry the hopes and sympathies of most men were for the Duke of BRUNS WICK. The revolution in Paris presented a spectacle more revolting than attractive. It was as anarchic, 0 : trilwoue, imbecile, and sanguinary, as c an be con exiveu and yet we, at this distance of time, cannot but be rejoiced that even this horrid revolution should have triumphed over a despotism wh centuries enchained the mind and energies of a gems people. Anything that can be oonceired in revolu tion 1111/ better than falling back under the old, help less, pigtail rigime of feudal monarchy and aristo cracy. We would, however, try this, in 1814, and reimpose it upon the French : and hence the perma nent revolution that has taken plaoe. We do, therefore, profoundly regret the triumph of the old imperialist court and its armies over the sole spot and population in the Austrian empire, which generated and preserved the sacred spark of consti tutional freedom. A whig journal, the Glo3e, ex- 1 presses supreme satisfaction at the overthrew of the Austrian liberals, because the Austrians bad proved themselves unripe for freedom. And, pzay, how were they to ripen ? How are citizens to gain politi cal wisdom under a FRANCIS or a FLaDINAND —how is a public to be moderate in the exercise of freedom, when it has been kept in a strait-waistcoat for centuries? People might wait long for freedom seserdiag to the principle of the whig Globe. = 1 :roold have - but to keep them ignorant and and the doing so would perpetuate the right, eves the incapacity which it produced. These pru.r eipien, professed by the role organ of srhiggiam rn this metropolis, are principles fitter for the slave-driver than the Englishman. The great story of German freedom is, however, far from closed. The resistance and reduction of Vienna form but are chapter. And we are much mistaken if the narrative of the heroic resistance made by the citizens, the students, and the labouring classes of Vienna against the Sclavonian hurtles of Wltinisenoesw, will not contribute more to kindle the spirit and heroism of true liberalism, and of the defence of popular rights, than the final result can crush them. The effect on the German mind, for the moment emancipated, must indeed be great. That liberty can be trodden out is Germany by any military result, is what we shall never believe. The Emperor, having crushed his German subjects, has now to settle with his Sclavonian friends. Hitherto his government has always supported itself on the tried loyalty and devotion of the Austrians against &Locoman frowardness. This policy must now be reversed. For never again will a prince of the house of Lorraine or Hapsburg enjoy popularity in Vienna. The events of tho last week of October, 1848, in Vienna, will live in the popular mind from year to year, as similar events live in the memory of the Parisians. And in an eternal war of hatred between prince and population, the latter is sure to find a moment of ven,, , nance and retribution. The Parisians waited from 1814 to 18 30, and f r om 1830 to 1848 ; their vengeance was not less certain, less sweeping, Ws final. And now comes the turn of the Sclavonians. The Bohemians are already full of remorse at having con tributed to the annihilation of the Vennese: they cow plain that the proclamations of WINDIsCUGRATZ are unconstitutional. The Moravian, are still more offended. There hare been riots at Braun, and in the strong fortress of Olmutz, under the eyes of the imperial court. Such frowardness is now too late. The military rtsyinse has recommenced, and resistance to it will be more difficult and mu A be more circum spect. It can henceforth be only provincial; and we have no doubt that provincial resistance will arise, end wait for circumstances. As to the Austrian monarchy it is, and can now be, I merely a military one. It seers's', Wm insole &yrs, and JELLACIIICH are its true masters. With a mo narch of imbecile mind, they must be uncontrolled masters. And the only difficulty will be for them to agree. They have one bond of union, indeed — they are all Selavorrians. WIN DISCIIGRATZ is a great lord wbo has suffered much by the emancipation of his serfs and the discredit of his paper money. One might therefore suspect him of a tendency to restore fendalism, tut this would be the signal for a servile war, and therefore will not be attempted. The result of the counter revolution will be what it has been in Spain and elsewhere. It will oppress the citi zen, gag, disarm, and tyrannise over the townfolk, the educated, and the professional climes. But the immu nities and emancipation which the larger masses of the peasantry have gained from the revolution—these cannot be touched, cannot be torn from them. The 1 aristocracy is stricken in its roots ; though despotism' may survive. Thus it is that humanity progresses. Sometimes the surface rang rapid, foaming and breaking over obstacles, and creating terror by its noise. Sometimes it rune even more rapid u an under-current, unseen and silent, but equally irresistible. And the lower classes often progress in this way during the intervals of noisy revolutian. The peasantry and bumbler class in Spain are doing this at present, and the Austrian may do so now. Having got the great start, which the revolution and the abrogation of the feudal tenures by the Diet of Vienna have given them, the &lave man adseripti ykbfr will advance and gather en lightenment and liberalism along with property, despite a government of field officers and guile coun cillors. For the good seed of this, for the great benefit, the peasant and eves Sclivonisn population of the empire are indebted to the prowess and perseverance of the Viennese. They it was who first overthrew the 91d stupid despotism; who exiled Mrrraamen ; who drove the troop/ ont of the city ; who forced the wh o convoke the Diet; and who enabled t he UZto pus its emancipating decrees. For having thus freed the empire, bestowed rights and property on its peasant population, given the country a foretaste of constitutional rights, freedom of thought and of the press, the Viennese now fall a sacrifice. It is the fate of great popular benefactors to make a revolution, and give up their lives for it • to originate freedom, political or moral, and to seal the great idea with their blood. This have done the Viennese, a people whom we used to contemn as sen sualist or torpid, as dead to sentiment, to intellectual or manly effort, and to all the higher aims of a nation's striving. Yet this population of pleasure has shown itself heroic; these dreamers have proved themselves menet action and purpose; this populace, considered so debruted, has added another to the greatexamples of in domitable resistance and self-sacrifiee which we learned to admire at Marathon and at Thermopylre. And, how ever mistaken or miscalculating, and although their cause was stained by one signal and regretable atro city, it is impossible not to admire their courage, re , Terence their cause, and place them on the glorious A list of those " Who nobly think, and bravely die." to Tim wligs have another mitre to give away. The see of Down and Connor has fallen vacant by the death of Dr.M NT ,one of those favourites of fortune,who, having been denied the qualities by nature which fit a man for eminence among his fellows, altord aristocratic beneficence the opportunity of doing good to the serving. We are far from meaning to insinuate that the de ceased prelate was a bad man. In private life we have al ways understood that he was amiable and blameless. But the question remains howcame he,the obscure minis ter of a country parish in England, to find his way to the episcopal throne of Down ? The tale is easily told. Church patronage in Ireland was undisguisedly regarded as a perquisite of vice-regal government; and every viceroy and chief secretary in the good old times had his right to whatever windfalls came. Brothers and cousins, or more remote connexions, were drafted over the Channel by this system, and stowed away snugly in the Irish establishment—Dr. MAMT, some eight and twenty years ago, amongst the rest. If, smoopt the Irish protestant clergy, there was any learning, any virtue, or any praise, the of the land did not thilir d these th in "' T h 9 church was the best f.z!d in the costly drawfarm into which aristocratic cupidity and oppression converted Ireland ; and it has only been of late years that the grasp of jobbing has, through shame, been tardily and sulkily relaxed in this respect. We confidently expect that the present vacancy will be filled up in a very different way. We desire to see a good selection made , not only for the sake of the whip as a party, and for the sake of the Anglican church as a sect, but for the sake of the Irish of all denominations as. a people. For in such appoint , ments the whole community are more or less directly interested, not merely on account of the vote which in quadrennial rotation the Irish bishops have in the upper house of parliament, or because of the less notable functions they are ex eOcio called upon to perform; butbeeause by them the temper of their clergy as teachers, as ex amples, and as citizens, is in a variety of ways modi fied, directed, and impelled. And if this be true at all times, how much more emphatically row. The ancit ut spirit of sectarian rancour, which for a season seemed to slumber, has lately broken out afresh. The catholic tocsin of exclusive education is ringing an loudly as ever; and the answering of Orangeiam has been raised within the Let month in the very diocese now vacant. Speeches worthy of Exeter-ba. were delivered at the meeting held in Belfast a few days ago, by the Rev. Dr. Dam and other demo -men of the neighbourhood ; and the last act of Bishop MANT WAS to write a letter warning them not to omit the special service appointed to be read on the sth November in memory of GuT FAWKES. Surely there never was a time when a more sacred responsibility devolved upon rulers than the present; or when it more behoves them to beware how they bestow eeclesiutical power. A rumour is current, we understand, in Dublin, that Dr. SADLEIR, who for BOW years has filled the office of Provost of Trinity College, is to have the mitre. In politica Dr. Savona is as unexceptionable as in manners and in morals. He is a learned and liberal man and • gentleman. He was one of the original members of the National Board of Educa tion, and through • long life he has been the con sistent advocate of every good measure proposed for his country. There are but two considerations that make us doubt the wisdom of such a choice. 1)r. Santana is very far advanced in Tears, and possibly may lack somewhat the energy ana resolution requisite for church government in stormy times. The whigs would do well to take • hint from their riva.s in this matter. When the tories were last in power they did not fill the episcopal bench with effete or valetudinarian friends, but manned the ship with sturdy and vigorous hands, like Doctors Dam/ and O'Bittetr. What has been the consequence? That these meek lords over CHRIST'S heritage have already peeved themselves to be, as was expected of them, doughty and able champions of reli -160611 bigotry, worthy counterparts of the like chars of men among the catholic prelates, Doctors WHALE and NiAGINN. On behalf of peace, freedom, and charity, therefore, the country has a right to de mold that men equally able, equally vigorous, and equally determined in the defence of enlightenment and liberality, should be promoted by its professing friends, as those who are put forward by the enemies of toleration. But a more formidable difficulty still remains in the way of Dr. SADLEItt'S elevation. What, in that case,' is to be done with the provestehip ? For many years that most important office has bees filled by a pro testant clergyman, and generally by one of the senior fellows of the university. Be fore the Union it was not so. The celebrated HEIN HUTCHINSON, afterwards created Lorill IoN o ununtonx, and many other distinguished laymen and persons I who had not been immured all tucir lives within collegiate walls, were appointed to preside ores the establishment in question : and we meet avew our deep conviction that if in our day am efficient reform is looked for in the Irish uu.versity system, it is of the utmost moment that a man without religious, or political, or professional prejudices should be placed in the provost's &lair. Of the senior fellows there is certainly not one whom we could defiled, to tee selected ; and of the professors who are laymen there are but few. But wheresoever he may be sought for, we trust repeat our conviction that the moral and intellectual hopes of Inland must of necessity be deeply set upon tho choice of a wise man, the choice of a free man, and the choice of a lay AM. Ma. JosErn SOUL, secretary to the Orphan Work ing School, at Ilaverstock-hill, has politely sent us a ticket of admission to that celebrated institution. Ho invites us to examine it and judge for ourselves. " Any Tuesday or Friday, between the hours of ten and four," as the card expresses it, we may be ad mitted. "Please to ring the bell." Why, does Mr. Som. suppose that we have entered upon this task without having exammed hie institution and "judged for ourselves" a score of times ? We know the Orphan Working School nearly as well as he does, and that is tiaTing something. We have been there on the " 1 uesdays and Fridays, between the home of ten and four," and we have been there, which is infinitely more to the purpose,on other days than Tuesdays and Fridays, and at other times than between two and four. We know the mag nificent portico, and the stately board-room, and the ladies' committee-room—the former all mahogany and Turkey, and the latter in humble imitation ; and we know also the underground apartment, in which the children feed, and the adjacent room in which the little boys wash, and the big garden in which the cab bages ure grown at the back, and even the bedroom cupboards In which the children keep their pocket handkerchiefs. Amiable Mr. Soul.! Only think of his inviting us, of all the world, to take a cab to I faversteek-hill and judge of the Working School for ourselves ! The working school! What on earth is the meaning of that expressive title ? As you walk op the large gravel walk, by the side of which is now building the new chapel, from designs of Bristol architects. and at a cost of nearly 3,0001., you cogitate ever the application of this expressive designation. The working school! As your hand grasps the big " visitor's bell," you fancy in imagination (it is all imagination, indeed) that you hear the sound of the industrious little artisans inside busily employed in their various interesting and laborious avocations. The Working School ! What a blessing to society it must be, you inwardly exclaim. Here each little orphan child is taught a trade—any trade that he may select, so that when he goes forth from these big portals into the bigger world beyond, in which be has still fewer relatives and friends than here, he may be able, less by the absolute sweat of his brow then by his accomplished skill, to gain his livelihood in the business he has chosen. Your hand is in your pocket for a " guinea" instinctively. Visitor, it is all a shadow ! There is no more rearm why this should be called a working school than why Westminster or Winchester should be so denominated. All the work the boys do is to clean their own shoes and make their own beds, as they were wont to do is those more ancient institutions. The girls, up to 11, do much the same—that is, they make the beds. As for cleaning their shoes, those do that who have gob the blacking. Above 13—" during the last interesting year of their residence amongst us"—they learn (that is, they do) household work. They scrub the floors of the institution, they scour its passages, they scrape the platters and wash up the saucepans, and take up the mistress'scoals and porter. No objec- I tion *there to this that we know of—not the least in the world ; only when Mr. Som. talks so magnifi cently of the " education " of the Orphan Working School, it is right we should know what it is. The education ! Of course, the first inquiry you make when you go into this i nstitution is as to that all important point. " What do you teach ?" That is your first queetiin. We hope some one else has been more lucky than ourselves, but for our parts we never got but one answer to this interrogatory, and never knew any one else who did. Q. " What:do you teach ?" Ans. (by matron, master, mistress, usher, ander-mistress, collector, secretary, or treasurer, it is no matter which, they all give the same) " Oh, sir, a plain English education !" What this means we do not pretend to define. We asked Mr. WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE; he at considerable length gave us his views. We asked Mr. BAINES of Leeds; he entered into the subject equ ally elaborately, but entirely differed from Mr. GLADSTONE. We asked the secretary to the National Society; he differed very widely front Mr. BAINES, but did not entirely agree with the first mentioned. We asked Mr. DUNNE, of the British and Foreign: he hold golden mean, entirely at loggerheads with all the rest. Dr. KAT SUUTTLEWORTII and failed in tato. Bo we fall back upoii . the authori ties of the Orphan Working School for further expla nation. " What do you mean by a plain English educa tion ?" The first answer we received was amising, but scarcely satisfactory. "Oh, sir, the eh meats." Thisstag peed es. We [could go no further in the way of interrogatory. ',We believe the truth to be that the boys are taught reading, writing, and arithmetic, and some few of them may acquire a smattering of geo graphy and grammar. The girls are taught needle. work in addition. No one will probably have any ob jection to this " scheme" of education ; certainly we raisenone. But when Mr. Son vaunts of thesurpassing abilities of his boys, we beg to remind him that there are other schools in which the same amount of in struction is afforded without any nonsense or preten sion. There is a poor-law inspector who might back the children in a work/some school against the child ren in the working school, and be in no fear as to the result. But Mr. SorL's great effort is to throw a halo over his accounts. He says the new building his com- mitts have erected, out of charity money, at a coat nearly 20,0001., is a very cheap building." Foosany, be says, wu " the committee's watchword." It was bat extremely cheap. We are sorry for it, fin: that is bad economy. Mr. Bout, even tries to depreciate the edifice, in order to gd over the allega tion of extravagance. It used to be magnified in hi descriptions of it as something architec tural,' wonderful. Now he tells us "it is only brick and stuccoed." Most appropriate! That splendid front, in the true Italian style, is only emblematic of the iutitution. It is more plaster ! .But the capen ditutv, says Mr. Soot, was not upon the building ; it wu incurred in anticipation of a letting of the land for dvelling-houses. Now fortunately we have before us the items of the account : To weals and foundations £5,100 0 „ Fitness, furniture, and finishing 7,312 19 ttoun,lauy was, a. moo 0 „Sewer wed dmins 9OO 0 „14,3,1 way „ 14ounderork, Woe% Ironwork, mad planting 1,360 0 „wrllukinktes .nd pumps „'..nauntaion ut arcultcst, 762 7 /19,210 12 10 WV not all this necessary for a building of this mag nitude? What part of it could they have done without? The drains, the roadway, the fencing, or the pumps ? It is probably Mr. Soul's experience in tt focing" that leads him to fence with us; but this sort of finesse won't do. Tien, with respect to the expenditure of the asylum. For the life of us we cannot make out whe ther Mr. SOUL would have us fix it at 3,11 W., or 3,7111., or 9,1251.

The fact is, that the expenditure of the committee altogether last year was precisely as we staled it, 12,7071., as shown by the audited account of tbireommittee, which we infiniteiy prefer as an autho- Wrift to anything else Mr. Soul. can give us. With respect to the number of children in the asy lum there is the same elaborate attempt to confuse. 1 We took the number of children sheltered by this asylum in their new building at 152, not only as al fair calculation, but as the exact lumbar stated in the report to have been in the institution on the 26th of I April last. Mr. Soo, now says, " Our report sup plies you with the names of 180 as in the school in June." But he also obliges us with a table, by which it appears that the average number in the new schools at any period Let year was 139, and during the present year 160. lake a mean between these figures and we have 149; so that instead of under stating we have actually overstated the average num ber of inmates in this asylum by 3. So ranch for Mr. Soul.. We wish he had applied himself to more important points. We wish he had shown that the institution of which he is se cretary is conducted upon principles which enable the poorest and most destitute orphans— thoeo whose cases plead to true philanthrophy the most sensibly and keenly—to take advantage of the benefit it professes to afford. We wish he could have shown that the most deserving cases were those to which his asylum afforded the most ready help ; that those who entered there were the true children of misery and misfortune, not those for whom the greatest interest could be exercised, and the most money equandered in securing votes. Wo wish he could have shown that even as at prose.. t conducted. Ibis society assists the few without injuring tho many —that in securing, as at the last election, sore.; for FIVE and Twettry candidates, they did not carry die- 1 appointment and misery—nay, the bitter anguish, even, of di spair, to the already wounded hearts of BIITT-SEVEN! GERMANY. OCCUPATION OF VIENNA BY; THE IMPERIAL TROOPS. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS AT BERLIN. We published in part of our impression yesterday intelligence from Vietins of the let inst. NVe have since received, in due course, intelligence up to the 2nd inst. The whole of the city has fallen into the pee. session of Windhchgrate. The imperial troops took full possession of the inner city about 11 a.m. on the lit inst., without any fur ther resistance. General nem has been taken pri soner. Daring the day several hundreds of persons were arrested, and Windischgratz issued a proclama tion, in which he declared that, in consequence of the breach of the capitulation, the conditions which he had at that agreed to were null and void ; that the academic legion is for ever dissolved, and the national guard disbanded for an unlimited time. All newspa pers and political associations are suspended • all as semblages of more than ten persons aro for bidden, and a strict search is ordered for concealed arms. Windischgratz has refused to recognise the Diet in Vienna as the legal one. The members, however, as sembled on the Ist inst. ; but Prince Felix Schwa ' senberg ordered all the entrances to be guarded by military, en that the sittiag . was a secret one. Up to the 2nd inst. all tho gates of the inner city were kept closed, so that all communication with the suburbs was cut off. It is stated that the new ministry , will be com posed as follows :—Wessenberg, president, without portefeuille ; J. Schwarzenberg, foreign affairs; Bach, interior; Buchner, war; Helfert, education; and Bruck, commerce. The situation of the city is de scribed as being frightful, and spies are extremely active. The statement that Hem has been taken prisoner is not confirmed by the Preys:ache Startle Anzevr of the sth inst. It is asserted in that journal that the fire in the royal residence did only very little damage ; that the books in the royal library and the beautiful monument of Canova in the Augustinian Church have been saved; and that the cabinet of natural history has only been slightly . injured. It is stated that the non-German (Selavontan) troops will be sent after the Hungarians, the Austro-German troops remaining in the city. A deputation of Bohemians left Prague to ob tain an audience of the Emperor. In their address to the Emperor they expressed their conster nation at finding that the proclamations of Prince Windischgratz should contain sentiments utterly at variance with the benevolent and paternal nature of the replies which his Majesty made to former deputations from Prague, respecting the means to be employed to restore tranquillity in the Austrian capital. " Ferdinand the Good," it is ob served in the address, "can never wish to see a popu lation of 400,000 made the victims of unspeakable misery." The deputation were to have an audience of the Emperor on the 31st ult. Whilst endeavouring to obtain it they were treated in a disrespectful man ner by Prince Joseph Lobkewitz, chamberlain to the Emperor. When they . succeeded in obtaining the audience, the Emperor informed them that be could not give an immediate answer to their demands, but that he would take an early opportunity of doing so. It is stated in an Olmiitz correspondence of the Breslouer leafing that his Majesty intends to remove to Prague, where some of the royal equipages have already arrived. The desertions from the Hungarian troops in Austria still continue, the fugitives malting their way towards the army of Kossuth. PRUSSIA.—The Berlin journals of the sth inst. have reached us. The address of the constituent Assembly to the King was brought to Potsdam by a deputation ; the Assembly meantime continuing its sitting, but without any debate. After the deputation had returned from Potsdam, the beam adjourned at a ' quarter to 1, on the mornieg of the 3rd. During the entire night, and up to the above time, the parliament 010 m ouse was sarroundect by some r arTllilid . .1, . guards, the majority of whom belonged to the work lig classes. Not the slightest attempt was made to create disturbances, the numerous unarmed citizens entering into friendly conversation with the national gguost'd, and all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the deputation from Potsdam. The result of the interview with the King was efficial:v communicated on the 3rd to the constituent Assembly by its President, Herr Unruh. He com menced by stating that he had officially announced to the ministry the decision of the tomAssebly on the pre vious day re pectin the address the King. 'fhe deputation arrived at half-past 6in Potsdam, and applied, in the usual form, for an audience. The officer in waiting declared that ever since the month d March, hie Majesty did not receive any deputa tions except in presence of his responsible ministers. Subsequently the officer stated that his Majesty . had just received a telegraphic despatch from the ministers - begging of him to receive the deputation. The in terview was then granted, and the address read. No answer was returned. Three members of the depu tation found, however, the opportunity to speak to the King, and his Majesty ohoerved that in accordance with the constitutional system, which he was anxious to carry out, even in the slightest details, he did not think proper to communicate any answer in the absence of the responsible ministers, but he added that he had ordered them to come to Potsdam by the first train, on the morrow, in order that he might confer with them. Herr d'FAter then rose and said, " I am under the necessity of adding something to the report of the president. When the deputation banded tie address to the King, his Majesty moved away without giv ing an answer. A member of the deputation, Herr Jacoby, then addressed his Majesty, and said—" We have been sent here not only to hand the address to your Majesty, but also to give you information re specting the true state of the country. Please your Majesty grant us an audience.' The King, however, turned away, exclaiming . ' No: Thereupon Herr Jacoby said It is the misfortune of kings that they will not hear the truth.' (Great sensation in the Assembly.) His Majesty then left the room. President : I must confirm the statement of Herr d'Ester ; but I may add that, at a later period of the evening, his Majesty privately declared that ho did not vivo en answer because he did not think it venni tutional to reply to the address in the absence of the ' responsible ministers. 1 1 Some other members of the deputation then stated that the majority of that body told Herr Jacoby that he had no right to speak as he did. Herr Jacoby—lt has been said that I had not the right or the mission to act as I did. It is not quite correct that I made the observation immediately after the address had been handed to the King; I waited some time, but as no one spoke, I stepped forward and made the remark stated. It bee been said that the King did not consider that he was entitled to give us an answer then ; but there is a great difference be tween giving an answer and granting an audience; and we, your deputies, were justified in requesting an audience, and as no one else said anything I was justified in speaking. The Assembly, after a stormvscene, then adjourned till 3 p.m., at which sitting the answer of the King was officially communicated. It was to the effect that his heart was always beating for the welfare of hie country, and that he thought a cabinet composed by the Count von Brandenburg would bo the mot ad vantageous ono for Prussia. The house then ad journed tilt next morning. Notwithstanding the officially expressed determi nation of the King of Prussia to adhere to his ori ginal intention respecting the formation of a Bran denburg ministry (in spite of the opposition of the constituent Assembly to that nobleman), it must not be inferred either that his Majesty is resolved to carry things to an exe eme. The King on this occa sion, as on others, will yield, but, as usual, with a bad grace ; In other words, the Count of Brandenburg will be allowed by his royal relative to tecdcr his resignation. The offer will be accepted, and thus a meeco termitic will be struck out—one which will save, as thought, the honour and dignity of the throne, and indirectly tend to the satisfaction of the constituent Assembly. It is scarcely necessary to add that the recent events in Berlin have increased the excitement which the affairs of Vienna gave rise to. All classes, how ever, see the necessity now more than ever of acting with prudence and moderation, and the temporary schism between a portionof thecivic guard and a certain class of working men has now disappeared. The de nunciation by the commander of the civic guard of the recent circular of lien Eichmann, respecting the calliug out of the military, has given general satis faction. The result of the ministerial crisis is anxiously awaited. Meantime the members of the Left Centre and the democratical clubs have publicly expressed their thanks to 1)r. Jacoby for his observa tions in the presence of majesty • and the members of the Le ft have drawn up a declaration to the effect that it is strictly necessary to appoint a commission from amongst the members of the constituent As sembly, with the view of coming to a decision respect ing the measures to be taken "in the present frightful and dangerous condition of the country." The decla ratien (which is signed by 95 members) further states that a change of system, and not exchange of men only, is required. The proposition to appoint a commission of 24 mem bers was submitted on the 4th inst. to the constituent Assembly. It was negatived by a majority of 21 to 114. The house then adjournid till the 6th inst. If, as it is suppose d, Count Brandenburg had re quested to be allowed to resign, it was expected in Berlin that Grabow, late president of the Assembly, would be called to form a new cabinet. PAU (Banns Pyrenees), Nov. 2. The town of Pan wan this morning in movement, in consequence of its being reported that Abd-el-Kader was about to leave the chateau where he has resided since his arrival in France for the residence selected for him by the republic —Amticise on the Loire, about midway between Blois and Tours. Shortly after noon the Emir left the chateau in an open carriage; he wore his usual white costume, and appeared pale and melancholy, noticing but little the albite. lion* and marks of respect paid him by the spectators. lie was accompanied by nu military escort, hut the carriage was sur rounded by a troop of gene-earmes. The women, children, and suite of the fallen Emir followed in three diligence'. During his residence at Pau Abd-el•Kader has scarcely stirred out of his room. Easy of scene, and affable to those who had real occasion to see him, he chafed at being made en object of idle curiosity. NAPLES, OCT. 28. The government evidently anticipates some political movement. The Toledo is again filled with patrols. and Last night the theatre of San Carlo was a perfect garrison. Three French steamers left Naples yesterday to recall their squadron back to Venice. I have a letter from that city, dated Oct. 20, containing the following intelligence: "The forces under General Pepe at the present moment consist of 24000 men, animated with the most determined spirit of reastance. The officers have been reduced to half pay, but such is the spirit of the army, and such the entity. siasm for the Italian cause, that we care little for want of funds. We are supplied with provisions from the continent at the lowest possible price, and in many instances we re ceive gifts from patriotic friends. We are expecting the French fleet I have a letter from Messina, dated Oct. 21, which says ' that "Several mercantile vessels have arrived. The foreign merchants have again commenced business, and a few fami lies who had retreated from the city have returned, but the deplorable state of the population generally must move the hardest heart. Filangieri is selling the plundered property taken after the bombardment of this unhappy city, much to the disgust of the officers, who claim a share of the booty. Jewels, and nearly every description of wares, are offered daily to the crews of the foreign vessels now in Mes sina." A letter from Palermo, Oct. 20, states :—" We are anx iously waiting the ultimatum of the great powers. If it does not accord with our views we shall yet have a fight for it. The Neapclitaea may blockade our port, but the resources of the island are su ffi cient to render us independent." GENOA, OCT. 31. The recent disorders in this city have not yet ceased to ;bear an alarming character. Last night largo numbers of people of the lowest class endea♦onred to force their en trance into several belfries with a view of spreading fear and terror among the inhabitants by sounding the tocsin ; they were, however, prevented by the military, who were sta tioned throughout the whole town to the number of 4,000 men. The mob at first attempted to resist the soldiers, but being attacked with bayonets, several individuals were se riously wounded, a great many taken, and the rest dispersed in the adjoining lanes and alleys, which they filled with the most horrible yells and shrieks. This is a new mode of war fare lately adopted in several towns of Lombardy, where the people terrify the peaceful inhabitants and annoy and tire out the garrisons by calling the armed force into all the dif terent directions of tho towns by similar disorders. In Leghorn the same system has been tried most successfully, although there it was accompanied by plunder. Genoa now has begun to imitate her commercial rival in these doings. The Palazzo Thursi, but lately the College of the Jesuits, from which they were expelled in February last, has ever been in the occupation of the civic :wads, who esta blished their head-guarten there. Such it still continues to be, but a large body of the royal troops have at present taken joint possession of it together with the guardia civics, who were unable to protect themselves. Very serious fears are entertained here that government may take an opportunity of these infelicitous events to dissolve a body which has proved so inefficient to repress riots. Should the government at Turin be at all disposed to come to such a determination it will be best assisted by the mama- dicious and intemperate declarations which several fractions of the civic guard have got posted up at the corners of the streets, and in which they protest against any participation in the' infamous and sacrilegious anassuntions (sic!) which have just been perpetrated upon several of their fellow citizens (fintelle); declaring, moreover, that they will not rest until they have brought to deserved punishment those authorities from whom the fratricide orders issued. The new police authorities have at last ventured so far es to prohibit all placarding of manifestoes and addresses te the people without the previous sanctionof asortof eensesoffice. All the refugees from Lombardy and the duchies, who were still here, have been compelled to leave town upon two hours' notice ;,their destination being for Sarzano, the south eastern frontier of the state. They had not, however, got to the distance of 10 miles, when they returned towards Genoa, and are now stopping at St. Albaro, a village at a mile's dis tance, where they intend ti await the favourable moment of forcing their entrance into the town.

Lond on Association for the Protection of Trade was hi I,i it Exeter. hall, called by the solicitor, Mr. Clipperton, no tee rcquiii. tiers eff 32 members, to receive and consider a r vort from a provisional committee of subscribers relative to tie proceed ings recently adored by the committee of tuai....ensent of the association in having voted the amalgnme- .0 of the association with another society without the c.o. amuses M the association, in discharging all the officers of ee abaci*. lion, impending the business of the aseociateo. ed in die solving themselves as a committee without . htg gi ven notice of either of those intentions in the seen., ,s for the meeting at which the important proceedings • adopted. and also in contravention of an existing by. c, • the com mittee of management, and also to page ouch resolutions thereon ma the meeting may deem expedient. Mr. COTTAM having been called to the chair •Lcalled to the meeting the purposes for which the Protect-, of Trade Association bad hien formed, among which se i• t o app o i nt . went of a solicitor, who, after two arnication • le ; ,he setae. tart' of the eseoci a tion f or the payment of debts lee to UMW b era, was to apply professionally for the debts in unpaid. Mr. Cuttam mentioned that, i,et oven June and Septemoer, 1849, the aseocittion, be its own applications, had collected 2,15141. of debts. and that in the same period, the solicitor had further c i:locted the sum of 1,6541 14.. 9d., having further given mem bers on many matters in 920 cases—his sslary for these and all other duties being 100/. a year. Mr. Cottem w-tit on to state that, without any desire to that tff , et oar tit port of the association itself, certain differences which hot ,rfs en , h„ • tween the secretary of the association and the so idler, had given pportunity for a scheme, on the part or ght of the committee, for special reasons, to amalgamate . n th e of London Trade Protection Society. the obje t , , of which were wholly different from those of the westee a3oeiation, and then to throw overboard those who, sati4e 4 with the pa.t course of the west-end useciation, wished o..untinue it on the same footing a: heretofore. Ile details' tee manner in which the members of the committee, to at, in he re fs reed 'tad, by surprise, and wholly without'the coo. eurrenco of the general body, dissolved, of their motion, the committee of management of the 'Joachim.... effieharged all its dicers, and amalgamated it with th toy society. This proceeding the chairmen charaeteriw.. .ts at once opposed to all precedent, and wholly destructs the well. ascertained interests of the west-end asseciet .1, and he called upon the meeting to express their ape tan on the buhjett. Mr. BLAK CYAN read the report of the provonal cow mittee, which related, at considerable lenge. the re ceedings of the committee " against the ex. lain et as usurped r!ght on the part of a section of t Lit. . ummittse, io arbitrerily end unjustifiably abolishing the se r, body by which it had been created," and etrenzly Org.& apes the members of the astociation to reinstate that buoy %malts previous basis. Mr. 0 WEN, _a member of the late commit!. , in ',com mending the adoption of the report, vindicated ht r. Clipper. tun, the late solicitor, from toe imputations rowel against him by Mr. Owen, the law secretary, imputations which had been pronounced by a sub .committee, after time inquiry, wholly unfounded, an acquittd, however, which hail not prevented Mr. Owen from effecting the dissolution of the late committee and his own transference, in company with his eight friends on the committee, to the City Society, leaving the West•enci Association altogether prostrate. lie trusted the proceedings of that meeting , ould raise it up once more.—The adoption of the report was carried unanimously. Mr. GREEN s, in movingthe second resolution, t xpresied hie feeling that the S members of the committee, with Mr. Owen, the secretary, had acted in a wholly unjustifiable manner to the asseciatten, and that the association might csmp'etely to repndi ite them and their proceedings. It was monstrous to suppose that an important body like the essociate it, number. ing 2,000 members, whose operations hitherto had been so efficient and satisfactory, were to be anr.ihilated at the men will of a knot of eight or nine individual members to suit their own particular views. Mr. Greene read an opinion obtained from Mr. Creasy, the standing cuuaeei of the asso ciation, that the amalgamation was, under the circumstances attending it, illegal, and would not be sanctioned by a court of law or equity. The resolution proposed by Mr. Greene was as follows , That eight members of the lute committee of ft:easement were perfectly unjustified in Ramming a right to vote the a nsigimation of this saeociation with another sot iety; that curb a precedent, if Fana tinned, would be highly dangerous to the security of nth r public in. stittnions. t0j0ti....8. to the of the r0h1..... 0 0 to pioutote the personal views of interested parties. That inasmuch aa thin W , SO'lation is supported by nearly 2,000 members, this meeting is incapable of approving or sanctioning the conduct of the late mm. mittee, who have attempted to notice Its distinct existence, and have rurrendered its premises, books, pipers, and property to soother cos elety, so considerably Inferior in its number of subscribers; u 4 that the committee having no power within itself to vote the abohtio of this aseotiation or Its =ale: motion with another iceiety, that the same was dose without authority, and is hereby declared by this meeting to be saki. Mr. Hien seconded the resolution. At the request of a member in the body of the meeting, the Chairmen here read a letter from Mr. Groom of the City society, announcing that the amalgamated society would confer upon trade the same advantages which it had derived from the late association, more especially as to the cell, ction of debts. The Chairman, however, added that in the society's circular which he had received that morning, no thing was said on this subject. Mr. CitEKTON, of Oxford•street, then proposed the third resolution, for the appointment of a new committee of ma nagement, pursuant with the advice of the sten ing counsel of the avocation. Mr. asitsza moved as an amendment that the association be dissolved, and that the amalgamation with the City . society be confirmed. This amendment was not persevered W. A member then mewed that the meeting do adjourn, with a view to the pretence, on another occasion, of the members of the late committee, whose conduct aas impugned.—The amendmentwas negati ved, and, after some discuseion respect ing Mr. Clipperton, whose re appointment as solicitor was objected to in several quarters, the oriiinal resolution was once more pat, the list of the proposed committee being given and agreed to. Mr. linen then moved the appointment of Mr. Coasts as president, in place of Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P., signed.—The motion was unanimously adopted.—Mr. Cae- TAM said he would accept the trust, always ready to retire whenever a more worthy successor should ho di sized.— The thanks of the meeting having been voted to the chair, and acknowledged, the meeting separated._ TRIAL BY JURY. Yesterday the 54th anniversary of the triumph of trial byury, u exemplified in the acquittal of Thomas Hardy, John Horne Tooke, John Thelwall, J. Joyce, T. Holcroft, and the other members of the Corresponding Society, who, in 1794, were tried for high treason, was cele brated at Rld'ey's Hotel, Blackfriay. _dearly 100 gentle men sat down to dinner, Mr. Parry, the barrister, 'residing, supported by Mr. C. Lushington, M.P., Mr. J.W i 11. P., and other geotlemen who have taken a prominent part in the progress of reform, being present. The cloth having been removed, the chairman gave " The Sovereignty of the People," which he believed to be the best security for the throne and people. The toast was drunk with enthusiastic applause. The next toast was " The Queen," and the chairman in proposing it said, that the sentiment of the majority of the radical reformers of the country was to unite the most extensive political reforms with the maintenance of monarchy. (Hear.) As far as it was possible for the sovereign to perform the duties of her station to the benefit of all classes, and within the pale of the constitution her present Majesty had done so. The tout was given with three times three and rap Landing. Mr. C. LcsHINCTON, M.P., having returned thanks for the drinking of his health, proceeded to give the toast of the evening, " Trial by Jury." He expressed his gratification at seeing so large a company assembled to do honour to the ac quittal of those patriots who had j• opardised their lives in the cause of truth and liberty, and in opposing the machine tiocs of a tyrannical ministry, a corrupt parliament, and a despotic sovereign—for George 111., though not a despot by law, was by his opinions and acts as much a despot as he dared to be; and had he been permitted to govern the nition as he wished, he would have reuced the people of this country to the condition of Russian Errs. Witness his arbi trary treatment of America, his causelese wars with France, his oppression of Ireland—especially .if the catholic popu latien of that country—and his fierce exercise of the preroga tive. A man who in those days higied at the King on his road to the House of Lords was punished by the pillory and five years imprisonment. Looking at past events our feelings could be only those of exultation and congratulition the the men who ventured their lives escaped unscathed —thanks to the jury who pronounced them not guilty of crime—their only offence being that they were the advocates of an extension of the suffrage and the shortening of the duration of parliaments. But for that verdict we might at this time be suffering from triumhphant tyranny. It wee remarkable that notwithstanding the deteat of the ministry in the acquittal of these men, they ventured to renew their attacks on the freedom of the. people, and that jiarliament conspired to unction them. In 1796 of Othe KI 01t King' 11Vill0 s person, brought in his bill for the better security which provided that no pub'ic assem bly should come together to consider any public me isure ex• cept in the presence of a magistrate, which magistrate was empowered to dismiss such assembly, and to pronounce arbi trarily as to what he might consider to be sedition, or what in the language of the present day was "open and advised speaking." (" Hear," and a laugh.) Another bill to pre vent *editions meetings was afterwards passed, a clause being inserted by the then scoundrelly House of Commons, provid ing that if at a meeting of fi lly persons twelve remained after the magistrate death without Lad p ott ed Wl' Um to the hot more denten champions of to the POW' monarch by a w ith great pie jury, the crt was drunk wr The CH Ult 3.
