SEPTEMBER 4. Tuts is an age much devoted to renaissance, as the French say, with regard to the arts, the resusci tation of old tastes, regeneration of defunct ideas, and the furhiahing up of all that is rusty and anti !lusted. We have pre-Raphaelites in politics and in religion. And there is no absurdity of the middle ages, from the yinquisition down to guilds of ' handicraft and trade, that may not be heard pruned and put forward every day. To find many of these old things ground young again, does not surprise. But we mast own that there was one great social and political institution which, if overthrown, did not appear possible to resuscitate. We allude to a Linda aristocracy. It was generally supposed that the people of the Con tinent, having, at least through the western half of that Continent, ggoot rid of the incubus of feudality, could never be threatened by its re-appearance or re sumption of old influence and privileges. Such be lief was strengthened by the fai:ure of the elder Bourbons to restore a noblesse, with entails and local jurisdiction, and court authority. Whilst at the same time the thoroughly despotic courts of the East seemed much more bent upon humbling and nullifying what remained of their ancient landed aristocracies, than upon raising them or endowing them with political privileges. Throughout the en tire of Europe in fact, the land was made to bear the principal weight of taxation; and the expellees of these great countries were in fact defrayed out of that aviculture' surplus which would have otherwise gone to constitute rent. 'Mere is one country in Europe now, however—a country, moreover, considered to be very advanced in adMinistrative experience and skill—which seems to bare taken the resolve not merely to go back of all its liberal progress, but even to recoil - beyond its brother absolutisms, by re-introducing the existence and influence of that great landlord caste, which former kings and governments of the country effectu ally laboured to humble and to destroy. Such an attempt as this concerns us Englishmen. For we, too, had half escaped from such a domina tion, and have, indeed, still some links of the chain to break. But if the work of restoring landed as cendancy commences on the continent of Europe, the party will take fresh courage here, and reaction may be successfully carried to length s of which we do not dream at present, and to combat which will demand increased vigilance. Let us first contemplate how the restoration of the squirearchy to political and fiscal power over the middle and lower cleaves is effecting in Persia, the country we allude to, and the first results of that counter revolution. The Nano, to all intents and purposes, has abolished the constitution, and superseded the parliament, in which the commercial classes were still largely repre sented, by the restoration of the provincial diets, in which the nobles and landed notables, together with the official functionaries. completely fiembrele. It is levity much as if the powers Of tattier sad Imphiating were taken from the House of Common smlibensferrod to the grand juries. 'The test essrequenee of this has been the doubling of the deer tax, that is, of the tax paid by all vim lave other property than land, and than • flinging on the townsfolk, the in dowtrial sot commercial interests, the entire of the bards. ',the extra expenditure incurred during th II ,Isit rim This expenditure might easily have bees =Pi by a loan, and the redemption of that loan over a su ffi cient space of time to have tea the annual increase of taxation tolerable. But no; the new aristocracy will extract the price of making and putting down revolutions forthwith out of the pockets of those industrious classes who never desired or invoked revolution, and whoall along entreated the KING to grant a constitution in time, in order to avoid popular violence and discon tent. The constitutionalists, or middle class Prus sians, are, however, doomed to suffer. When the mob prevailed, they were most threat ened ; now that the squirearchy rules, they are the victims mulcted. They are denied representatives and a free press, and the little freedom of commerce that had been procured will soon be rescinded and stopped by the Judger party of Prissiest lords, who already beset the XING to restore hereditary right and descent of property to the eldest eon. We should have premised, that previous to the doubling of the taxes on all :moveable pro perty, the landed interest bad consented to the establishment et an income tax on all kinds of income, exempting fortunes under 1301. a year, and levying about three per cent iadisorimi nately on all above it. But the landowner, by pay ing this, because, exempt from the old land-tax. So that in fact the great landed proprietor in Prussia has managed to emerge from the revolution a wealthy, a powerful, and a privileged man.

Their next and most important want is better habitations, and to meet this want the public has a right to look to the landowners of the country. They have been the destroyers of cottages; they have so much cleared their estates of resident labourers that is a large proportion of oar feral whim the resident population I Immillehell he the cultivation of the land.

Self-interest, therefore, will, we !reef, ere long compel the landowners to re-ereet the cottages they have pulled down, and induce them to provide not only cottages on each farm for the regular servants of the occupier, but also diesel dwellings for independent labourers. AMONGST the failures of protectionist predictions, none is more marked than that which referred to the anticipated condition of the agricultural labourer. We were told that rural wages depended upon high prices of agrieeltand produce, and that with low corn' Isw wages and scanty employment would lie the inevitable consequences to the labourers in husbandry.

For several dap vague rumours of a plot, discovered in Paris, have prevailed. Last night a number of arrests were made, in relation to which I have just heard the following account. It has for some time been known to the police that Ledru Rollin and Marini's Central European Committee were in correspondence, through the Central Ger man Committee of London, with a German com mittee sitting in Paris. A man named Meir was the delegate employed to transmit instructions to the Paris committee from the two committees in London. Besides this, en advocate, named Maillard, formerly secretary to Ledru Rollin, was in structed by the latter to organise en insnr rectional committee in Paris, ready to take arms at a signal to be given by the Central European Committee of London. Such was the activity . of lkleillerd that he had formed the nucleus of a society that h►d put itself in communication with the de partments, and had made such progress as to be able to send to London within the last few days to take Ledru-Rollin's final instructions. per: It was on the return to Paris of the emissary sent on this occasion that the Prefect of Police infqrmed the authorities that the time had come for putting a stop to all these proceedings. Warrants were issued simultaneously to arrest persons designated at the office of the Voir du Proacrit, 164, Rue Montmartre, and at the office of the Proacrit, at St. Amand. Forty-seven arrests have been made. All the pri soners have been sent to the prison of Mazes, and this explains the reason why the Prefect of Police has within these few days sent away several pri soners who were there, in order to have vacant cells at his disposition. . I give this account precisely as I hear it, being able to express no opinion, one way or the other, as to the reality of the plot, but there can be no doubt that arrests have been made. The heat and the drought this year is without example. Accounts from the country say the email rivers are drying up. The ports of Cc era in the Brazils are declared in fected with the yellow fever, and thaw of Morocco with cholera. The government have advertised for proposals to complete the roads and form new once in the Minho. The former contractors, conceiving it an infringement of their rights, protest against it, and say they shall have recourse to the tribunals. There is to be a new road from Oporto to Braga, and another from Oporto to Ouimaraens. It appears that several officers of the 14th, at Vireo, endeavoured to make their escape, but were prevented and placed in arrest. A general officer is implicated in the attempted insurrection. On the 18th the Encounter arrived from Cadiz, and the Serpent yacht, Lord C. Paget; also the Sapphire yacht, Mr. Gibson, M.P., both which sailed on the 23th; the Trafalgar and Oberon have also pursued their course to the Mediterranean. Lieutenant-Colonel Diego de Bello Souza Male quias has been removed from the command of the 11th Regiment, fur refusing to aid the civil governor of Beja ; and he is placed on the reserved disposable list. His removal does credit to the government so far u the act itself is in question, but the govern ment is still remiss in not severely punishing all those who were instrumental in protecting mur derers. Senhor Ferran, before he left office, issued the decree for restoring the celebrated Mantas to his em ployment in the Custom-house; Palmella had done the same in 1816, but the events that followed pre vented Mantas's re-installation. Mantas was one whose claims upon his country had been sacrificed to the vengeance of Thomas. Credit is due to the ministry for the act of justice. Another serious conspiracy, that was to have broken out at Vizeu, and had extensive ramifications, has been rendered abortive. Three more Miguelite meetings have taken place.

DENMARK. Letters from Copenhagen state that the Prussian and Austrian ministers at the Danish court, have been spending a few days together at Count Moltke's chateau of Bregentwed. TURKEY. A sufficient answer to the query with which our Constantinople correspondence of yesterday closed will be found in the following letter of the same date as that already given The liberation of Kossuth is now decided upon by the Sublime Porte. In spite of all the threats of Russia and Austria, the I stood her ground, and when reminded by the English government of its Promise, the Divan replied, "We keep it." Kossuth is, therefore, to be released on the 13th September. His intention, as far as I could ascertain, is to pro ceed first to England, to leave there his children, and to provide for their edncation, and, after a stay of a fortnight, to sail to the United States, there to express his thanks to the Congress and the Pre sident. But the captain of the steam frigate Mississippi, which has waited for Kossuth since the month of June, objects to this arrangement; he wishes to carry Kossuth without delay to New York. I do not know, therefore, whether you will have the pleasure of seeing the mighty man—who, even when in prison in Asia Minor, frightens the Czar and the Kaiser—before December. The dismissal of the seruskier, Mehemet Ali Pasha, made here for a moment a painful impression, for everybody knew that he, the brother-in-law of the Sultan, was the greatest enemy of Russia in the cabinet. But it soon become obvious that this step had no political importance whatever. l'ilehemet 1 Ali Pasha remains in the ministry without a ports ; the new seraskier is a man better trained to business than his predecessor has been, and the army will not retrograde under him. The reason of the dismissal was the reckless private speculation of the seraskier, which the members of the Divan found unbec oming for a minister. Iteschid, the grand vizier, said he knew of it, but he did not wish to lake measures against the brother-in-law of the Sultan, and he agreed that he should be replaced, but without losing his scat in the cabinet, as his political views were in accordance with those of the other ministers. In April, when all your contemporaries men tioned the termination of the differences between Turkey and Egypt, I wrote you that matters will grow rather serious, since four months have elapsed, and the question is still not yet settled.

GERMANY. AUSTRIA. The King of Prussia had by invitation spent a day with the Kuig of Bavaria at Hohenschwangan. VIENNA, Aro. 27. The decrees of the Emperor on the responsibility of the ministers, and on the revision of the constitu tion, **oyes in March, 1849, amount to a complete retrogression to absolutism. You remember, per haps, that at the time, it was severely reproached to the Hungarians, by all the liberal continental papers that they did not accept this constitution as a basis of a possible understanding with Austria, and the Gotha party inGermany was horrified that the reply of the Hungarians was the declaration of independ ence. The result has shown that the diet at Debree zin knew Austria and Austrian politics far better ' than the Germans did. No one here was taken by surprise when the decree wee published—it was ex pected long ago ; but public curiosig: o l more excited on the question whether Doctor Bach the father of theconstitutionnowabolished, will remain in the ministry or not. It seems, however, that shame is unknown to him, and that he clings to his office more than to his principles. A few days I I will decide the question. From the provinces the information is scanty, but it is gloomy. Iq Italy Radetzki fears an outbreak, and the army is said to be reinforced for the third time—ten thousand men are to march to the Piedmontese frontier. There is a report that the dissensions between the Croat and Hungarian soldiers are daily increasing, and that they led to a bloody conflict in the neighbourhood or Verona. The papers remain silent on such events, but the letters from Italy mention it as a fact. In Hun gary the gendarmerie had had several conflicts with the peasants, and a b.ay which in the month of June happened at Scent.aria, near Oross-Waradin, is soul-stirring, like an episode of a French novel. I relate it as I had it from an Hungarian gentleman of the Bihar county, who happened to be at Vienna. At a peasant's wedding, when the procession of the betrothed was moving towards the church, the gendarme approached the bride and summoned her Immediately to divest herself of the red, white, and green ribbons which she had in her tresses, accord ing to the custom of the country girls, saying that these colours were revolutionary. The bride groom objected, saying that after the cere mony the bride wou4 comply with the desire of the gendarme, but that now they could not keep the priest waiting at the altar. The gen darme retired, the procession proceeded to the church, but at the moment when the bride was kneeling at the steps of the altar to receive the bene diction the gendarme rushed forward and cut her tresses and ribbons with scissors from her head. In Hungary it is considered a great insult to a female to cut her hair, it conveys the notion of infamy. THE LEVENSLDE CASE.-ALLEGED PIRACY We extract the following conclusion of the case of the Levenaide from tho St. Helena Advocate of July 10: " The sessions commenced this morning. In the above important case, we have just time, before going to press, to report that the indictment against Cap tain Campbell, the master of the vessel, for assault with intent to murder, has been thrown out by the Grand Jury—and that the indictment for piracy against the passengers and first mate, has also been ignored." TRADE ON THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. A correspondent of the St. Hekna Advocate writes u follows: " A gentleman who has been recently engaged in the trade of the South West Coast of Africa, has furnished the following information relative to the coast between the Cape Colony and Walwich Say, which may perhaps be of interest to your readers. "As regards guano, he states that the supply at Halifax• Penguin, and Seal Islands, Ichaboe and Poeusaion, is now exhausted, and nothing is to be collected except • very sandy inferior description without smell. There is also a small supply of recent deposit, which when mixed up with the other may sometimes realise a remunerating price, but seems to be hardly worth tho expenses. The greatest at traction as that coast is copper and other minerals. A misinig company have commenced operations at Pedestal Paint, and are slaking a shaft of coluiderable rite. Some specimens of ore already procured are worth 4.51. a ton, but the 'apply will be small, and difficult to separate from the quarts la which the veins of copper omit. It is eapectedthat gold, planes., and precious stones will be met with, but from the geological structure of this coast the sup ply of these must be scanty. He could not observe any for mation bat the primitive quartz and granite rock, with abundance of mica and iron. The limestone and coal de posits do not (neer, so that the treasures generally met with beneath these cannot here be expected. Abundance of inferior pebbles are found upon many of the islands, mostly opals, and some similar to the Ceylon moonstone. Their low value may be estimated by the quantity in which they occur. There is, however, another branch of trade feeling its way on the coast, similar to the tallow trade of Australia. An establishment has been formed in Walwieh Bay for that purpose. The transit from the coast to the interior, where the cattle are pastured, is about 60 miles. Bullocks will be brought down from thence and slaughtered on the coast, and the tallow packed in the hides. The barter for this trade will be in common Manchester fabrics, old flint muskets, felt hats, and other common supplies required by a community of blacks, partially converted, and beginning to assume European habits. The boom of the northern Cape frontier too, are beginning to look forward to supplies from this part of the coast, and ts the attention of mer ' chants at bogie has already been turned to this subject, it may be expected that in a short time we shall sea trading depots all along this part of the coast." RAILWAY COMMTNICATIOM BETWEEN PIEDMONT AND SIVITZWILAND. —The fatrie# ?krill** states. (says the ilerriens Marewadits, of the 29th ult..) that a coutianylif Swiss, Italia, and Beglish engineers, have beta studying the best tenons of opening a conununicatieu by rail, as short u possible, by the St. Gothard or the St. Bernard. It seems that they have discovered a passage from the Vallehl to the Val d'Aosta, which will only require a tunnel of three kilometres. ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OP HACKETT FROM HIS AmmucAm Paseox.—Captain Bowyer, the chief Aker of the New York Police in London during the Great Exhibi tion, received lectors from America by yesterday's post, in forming him of a most daring attempt at escape by the notorious George Hackett and his confederate, who are now confined in New Jersey gaol, awaiting their trial froths plate robbery recently committed by them on the other side of the Atlantic. Captain Bowyer's information is to the effect that one of the turnkeys, well acquainted with Hackett's reputation, had been watching him with more than ordinary vigilance, =don going to lock hint up for the night suddenly missed him from the place he should have been in at the time. Search was instantly made, and he was found scented near one of the outer passage doors of the building ready to avail himself of the first opportunity to escape, as he did at Pen tonville. Suspicion in the meantime was directed to wards his accomplice, and he was also dragged from his hiding-place by the prison officers. On being searched a large pointed knife, resembling a emotions de CA4SBO, was discovered in the leg of his pantaloons, though how he obtained it is at present a mystery. On this being brought to light he sulkily exclaimed, " Every man has his day, and George and me will have ours yet, for our lives ain't worth much in this way." They were both recon ducted by a secret route to distant and separate cells under very close surveillance, and ironed till the trial. The woman who accompanied them from England is also com mitted for trial, sufficient evidence having been adduced to connect her as an aooompliee in the same robbery. AMERICA. (By Electric Telearspb ) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING. The American ocean-steamer Humboldt has just arrived. She left New York on the 23rd ult. Amongst her cargo is one hundred thousand dollars in American g old, for Heywood, Kennard, and Co., London. The Humboldt has a full freight fur Havre. The utmost excitement prevailed in New York, in consequence of intelligence having been received from Havannah that 50 Americans were captured in four launches at Key Levesas, and had been shot. They were shot at the Castle of Altares, by the order of the Commandant of Marine, General Bastillas, and in the presence of 20,000 spectators. The enthusiasm in the Lnited States in reference to Cuban affairs was very great. Fears were enter tained of disturbances in New Orleans, and the mili tary were held in readiness to act. Immense mass meeting( had been held in New York in consequence, at which the American govern ment had been called upon to avenge the massacre of the Americans. Mobs had paraded the streets with banners, bearing the inscription, " The blood of 30 Americans cries fur vengeance." The names of the men who were shot are published in the New York papers. Lopez, it appeals, landed his troops within about fifty miles of I favannali, believing the government troops to have been withdrawn from that spot. He was deceived, however, and a bloody battle was fought. The fifty Americans who were shot were taken while they were escaping in boats. COMMERCIAL. NEWiiiiti,it;itTar. Aug. 22, 6 P.m. The stock market opened quite buoyant this morning, and there was more activity among operators. Very few of the transactions were on time. The boors were large purchasers for cash. The receipt of a large amount of gold dust from California no doubt caused apprehensions on the part of the bears that the market would bo favour ably Milt/coast, which induced them to take hold pretty sharp. This of itself was sufficient to sustain or to put up prices. But for the news from Cuba the advance would have been still greater, and speculators for a rise might have been disposed to have taken large quantities of Meek. The be In may work the market up 2or 3 per cent. more before they come forward with as much force as sellers at the first board to-day.

At the weekly meeting of the Liverpool Town Council yesterday, the Mayor said he had the gratifying intelligence to announce that it was the intention of tho Queen to visit the town of Liverpool on the 9th of October next—(loud cheers)—and to proceed on the same day to the mansion of the Earl of Ellesmere, at Worsley Hull. His lordship then read the following letter to the council:— . Balmoral, 30th August, reply to your letter of the 28th, I have the honour to inform you, that it is her Majesty's intention to pay a visit to the town of Liverpool on the 9th of October next, and to proceed on the same day to the Earl of Ellesmere's, at Worslcy.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, J. }Lessem-- The Mayor of Liverpool." His worship said he was quite sure that every member of the council, as well as the public, would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity about to be afforded them to testify to her Majesty their loyalty, and that they were capable of worthily appreciating the honour she proposed to confer on the town. (Loud cheers.) He therefore sug qted the appointment of a committee forthwith—consist.- of the chairman and vice-chairman of the several com mittees of the council, with the understanding that every member of the council be considered, ea officio, entitled to assist that committee—to make such suitable preparations for the reception of her Majeoty u the important occasion called for. Mr. Alderman PROCTER seconded the proposition of the Mayor, which was unanimously adopted. Mr. TURNER, the chairman of the dock committee, said that that body would contribute to the preparations made by the council in any manner which might be most desirable. (Cheers.) Mr.'. B. LLOYD said that at • meeting of the com mittee of the courts of law it had been determined to re move the wall now erected round St. George's-hall, and to put up a barrier of posts and rails of some neat form upon the site where the permanent railing would be placed. The floors were also to be laid with temporary boarding, and steps furnished to each court, to give some idea of what the courts would be when finished. It was proposed, if her Majesty should visit the hall, that she should enter at the north end, see the civil court, go down the hall to the cri minal court, then on to the southern portico, and to depart by the eastern portico. The further arrangements of the committee contemplated that the public should be admitted, of whom they expected to accommodate about 2,000 in the hall. (Great cheering.) Mr. BILUILEY Mooaa and othercouncillors made various suggestions, when the committee was appointed as proposed. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE NORTIL—We are informed that estimates have been ordered to be prepared by the Queen's tradesmen for fitting up, in a superior style, the evening drawing-room in Ilolyrood Palace, before her Majesty's return from the north. We would infer from this that it is her Majesty's intention to hold a levee, of which rumours have been in circulation during the last few weeks, or at least that the royal party may be expected to remain for a few days in Holyrood Palace, before returning to England.—North British Mail. THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL COMPANY'S STRAKER SULTAN, Captain Brooks, left Southampton yes• terday, as an extra boat, for Alexandria. She took out ship letter mails for South Australia, Bombay, Ceylon,. Mauritius, Madras, Calcutta, Aden, Alexandria. Malta, asta' Gibraltar.

She took out about 50 passengers— amongst them was Maluncd Effendi, a young Turkish aim , of one of our engineering schools, who is gone out is tbs Sultan to perfect himself in tho working of marine skew engines. Two splendid carriage horses were sent out in the Sultan to Alexandria ; they cost 2.501., and were pur chased in this country for Said Pasha, one of the Egyptian princes. They are intended to run in•aurriele which was sent out to Egypt from Southampton on the 20th ult. This curricle wee a very magnificent one, manufactured by Hallmarke, of Long-sere, and coat upwards of 600 guineas. The body of it was in the form of a shell. The Sultan is expected at Southampton, on her return voyage, about the Ist of October, with ship mails, the date of which from Bombay will be the Ist September, and from Calcutta the 26th August. Among the passengers by the last homeward Constantinople boat, at Southampton, was a Mahommedan dervish, who had displayed such mechanical genius that the Turkish Sultan had sent him to England to witness the great sahibition. Fie had with him a very handsome clock, which was a specimen of his self-taught mechanical skill.
