FRANCE. PARIS, WIDNE/DAY, 11.30 A.ll. The journals this morning contain little domestic matter of general interest. The arrival and reception of Prince Louis in the Assembly supply of course a subject of various comment. It now apposes that Prince Louis has in fact been in Paris for a week or more, and in his solicitude to conceal his presence, and to te event untimely and unprofitable popular demonstrations, he has el anged his place of abode almost daily. It is remarked to-day that La Reortne, the ultra-democratic organ, has considerably mitigated its tone respecting him. It is said that the present adviser of the family is M. de Lamartine. Notwithstanding the immense number of 'speakers inscribed for the question of one or two chambers, the discussion is expected to be brought to a close to-day. About VA mu tubers will probably vote in favour of two chambers ; the system of a single chamber will be carried therefore by • considerable majority. It is expected that M.M. de Lamartine and Thiers will 'peak to-day on this question. The question of the presidency will come under dis cussion in the course of next week. The moderate party have resolved to support the principle of the election by universal suffme. The government, who will be joined by the ultra-democrats on this occasion, will vote that the first president shall to elected by the chamber. It the former should prinail, and the election be immediate, which probably will he the one, Prince Lcuis would certainly be elected. If the latter principle be adopted, the result would be very doubtful, it being now certain that Gen. Cavaignec would nit obtain a majority in the chamber. The sport which I mentioned last niitht of the death of M. Gent, a member of the Assembly, in con sequence o' a wound received in a duel with M. Leo de la horde is contradicted. M. Gent has had his left arm shattered by the ball of his adversary, and amputation has been rendered necessary, but death has not ensued. The Pats its say.: "It is st.ted that it has been de- cided that the insurgents new on board the pontone at Brest shall be transferred to Belle Isle, and placed under the direction of M. Antony Beraud, a man of great ability and experience, and of most honourable character." ITALY. Letters from Rome, of the 17th instant, an nounce that the Rossi cabinet has been modified in the following manner: Cardinal Soglio, Secretary of State, Minister of Foreign Affair., and President of Loaned ; Count Rossi, Interior, and ad interim, Finances; Cardinal Visardelli, Public, Instruction; Advocate Cicognani, Grace and Justice; Professor Montanari, Commerce; Duke di Signano, Public Works, and ad interim War; Count Guarini, Minister withouta portfolio; M. Righetti, substitute for Finance. There is no mention of the police. It had been pro posedto join this to the Ministry of the Interior. project appears to have been abandoned, and the portfolio will probably be given to the Count Guarini, if the former Minister Gelletti, now at Bologna, shall refuse to enter into the new ministry. Letters from Milan of the 21st g ive a version of the intentions of Austria in relation to the Anglo- French mediation substantially identical with that which I sent you yesterday, and which I obtained from official sources. The same statements are also given in La Freese of this morning, under the head et N ostamanioation." under the command of Gm. Hoot, has already reachedi the environs of Troufkerchen. The last intelligence from Transylvania is equally unsatisfactory. They are on the point of dissolving the union with Hungary. The Minister of War, General l'ileuaros, has ar ' ranged for a general storming of St. Thomas, under his command, on the 17th ; and intelligence had reached Vienna that he had suffered a most fearful defeat The second infantry regiment (Emperor Alexander's) slope numbered 1,600 dead and wounded, and was almost entirely cut up. The secretary of the Hungarian embassy, resident at Vienna, Prinz Pulsky, has set out for Upper Hun gary, for the purpose of arming his peasantry, and leading them against the enemy in the south. The minister Bathyany seems likely to stand in Pea*. It may be said that thi s i s th e last legal thread by which the affairs of Hungary were connected with those of Vienna. Had it been otherwise, and the Peath national assembly taken a decided revolu tionary stand, there would be no possibility of coming to any negociation with the victorious Bann. The swiential demands of the Croats are as follows :- 1. The national provincial independence of Hungary and Croatia. 2. A general ministry for the several parts of the monarchy in reference to foreign affairs, war, and finance. 3. Emancipation of the southern country inhabit( d by the Serviette. Count Teleky had reached Vienna. Jellaehieh has petitioned the ministers for some companies of pioneers, with the necessary bridges.l Whether the ministry will accede to the request is not known. So much is certain, that the director of the Gloggnitz railway had received erdere to have the necessary carriages prepared on the 23rd and 24th for transporting the pioneers and bridges to Gratz. The commandant of Prague, Count Alfred Win dischgrats, fits been at Vienna for some days. He is to 11/0 to Italy u second in command. The deputation of l'ragne has petitioned for the re-arming of the national guard there. The minister of war ham rtrant,tl 3,090 muskets for that purpose. HAMBURa—Our correspondent writes, under date, Sept. 23:—The accounts bolo Kul and Rendaburg to day easfirsa the apprehension I exp....cid in my list letter. The diet at the form. r pl*ce di dared phut the commis goners sent by the Danish *overnmen: and against t heir proclamation, and requested the provisional government to cause those persona (Moltke, the Biilsop of Alien. and M. Johansen) to be arrested whenever they arrive. The pruei• denial government sent orders to that effect to all the police of of the soen'ry. This is a t.ew act of the drama per forming in Schleswig-Bilstein. It appears certain that Mr. Reedit belt. out the hope of tn. difles. time to the treaty of armistice, as stated by Ge. nerd I/henget at Rendeburg, ante by Mr. Camp haws at Frankfort; but after his !overnment heard of the proasedinp in the parliament of the latter city, they dis avowed their agent, and sent him to Berlin, probably to notify to the Prussian government that the rigid fulfilment of the terms and condins of the treaty ars insided upon. The question now is, what will the Bonin cabinet do ? How ars they to enforce these stipulations? Supposing they were to wad an order to General B into to lend the assistance of the army ander hb command to the D mush comniitiqunere. the soldiers would not obey such orders, nor woo d tl ey fight against the Schdcwig.liolstein forces, which are to be separated according to the treaty of armistice. If Danish government finds that the Prussian is unable to make good its pledge, wilt not they take the power into their own hands in sending Daniels troops into the duchies and blockading their vets, perhaps hembardin7 such towns as they can reach with their men of-war? In this event they will not only have to fight the soldier* and German inhabit ants of the duchies, bit all the German troops statioatd there. If ever the interposition of a friendly power was de sirable in this unfortunate conflict, it is now, and we look particularly for the good offices of Great Britain. This city remain. quiet. The Frankfort contingent is still here; no other beeps have arrived Maas yesterday. The cholera is abating both in number of cues and in violence. FRANKFORT, Seer. 23. We b egin to see pretty clearly into the late events and their causes. There is little doubt that a party formed here in Germany in imitation of socialist democrats—that is, the red republicans of Paris—has been at work. Macy of its members or emissaries have been active in the democratic clubs and in the meetings of workpeople. They have found support from some few members of the Assem bly, and thought themselves strong enough to strike a blow. This was directed against the majority of the Assembly. The fi rst effort was ma& to separate the left from the rest of the members, and induce it to sit apart and declare itself the Purified Assembly. The proposal was indignantly rejected by the left, with the exception of the few members I have alluded to. The conspiration then adopted the plan of marching on the Assembly and expelling the members of the right. But even in this, I have reason to believe that, as in Paris on the 13th of Jane, it was only the chiefs who determined to gol this length, the mob being ignorant of the extent which it wits determined to proceed to. The troops arrived in time to prevent the success of the attempt, but not to prevent its being made. The short insurrection which followed was the re sult of excitement, more than of conspiracy. The bar ricades were thrown up by boys, and in many instances tie Prussian soldiers looked on, and even prevented the citizens interfering. Some think, in consequence, that orders were given to allow the riot to grow se rious, in order to serious oppression. Whilst others assert that the troops refrained at first from a consciousness of their not being in force. It is probable that the authorities were more fright ened than was necessary, 'did for that reason were de terred from at once attacking; but there may have been calculation in this. What adds probability to this last 'opposition is the fact that the burgher guard was not called out, and that those who pre sented themselves were sent away. I should hesi tate, however, to admit this supposition, foe the dan ger was not less real, and those facts from which might be inferred a perfidious calculation on the part of the authorities might be explained by the perplexity of some and inertness of others, u well as by the eagerness of the Prussian troops, which, though calumnied, had taken the resolution only to fire in their own defence. The Austrians made the first attack, hut they were soon relieved by the Prue sians, who fought with as much bravery as humanity. fighting at the barricades did not take place ac ' cording to the plan of the leaders, for, had it been foreseen, they would certainly have caused their friends to come from Mayence, Hanau, and other surrounding cities. All the information I have obtained agrees in this point, that none fought in the barricades but men of the im mediate environs of Frankfort, who came in at the first rumour of the fray. The combat commenced because after a number of boys had made the barricades the mass of the most democratic clubs immediately took up aim 4 to defend them, moved as much by a spirit of bravadoes by poli tical feeling. Besides, the people of Frankfort were themselves discontented with the presence of Prussians on their walls, and the leaders may have believed that perhaps the citizens might help them when once the fight had commenced. Such, I believe, are the real causes of the late events, the consequences of which are not yet clearly evident. I think that the traces of this affair will not long remain visible in the Assembly. There are some who fear a military dictator. in Frankfort, and many symptoms might lead to the conclusion that such a plan is thought of in certain quarters, but I can hardly give credit to it. To day the left raised its head proudly and energetically . ; for it has a right to do so, not having in any way joined in the affairs of the last few days. The right wished to send out an address to the nation, throwing all tho blame on the left, bat the left had a majority this morning for the re jection of this address, anti it may therefore happen that the consequences of the disturbances may be more fortunate than it was at first expected they would have been. The physical force men—the ultra-1 democrats—have been completely beaten, and that is very fortunate. The partisans of liberty and pro. grass hold their heads as high as before. The whole assembly has been shaken, and will march with greater vapidity and determination to its object; even the government seems to feel that it is necessary to act in the sense of the wants of the nation, and it is for this that our Minister of Commerce placed on the table of the Assembly yesterday a project for a German cus- ' tom's union. In a few days we shall know if all these swords, bayonete, and cannons have turned the heads of our people of the new central power. Letters from Leghorn of the 19th, my that steam-hosts had touched there with 10,000 muskets for Venice. At Genoa 1,6000 men bivouacked in the places where popular demonstrations usually took place. A picket of 600 men, with arms piled, was kept at the Palace Darando. Leghorn was quiet, bat the Tuscan ministry still retained their extraor diaary posers. The Venice Gazelle, of the 18th, contains a decree lithe Provisional Government, dated the 17th, to the ant that the municipal guards called provisionally into Ferries are to be subject to the rules of military lurks. GERMANY. DISTURBANCES AT COLOGNE.. Our correspondent at Cologne, writing on 25th inst., mays :—. 4 All this day great excitement has prevailed in Cologne, in consequence of the arrest of three indi viduals charged, it is said, with beim! concerned in a plot for bringing about a republican movement. One tithe prisoners (Herr Wachter), a captain in the civic guard, was rescued by a crowd of hastily-assembled persona from the hands of the gendarmes. Another popular orator (Herr Mole) was also arrested this morning; but the six gendarmes who captured him in his house were obliged to let him go and make a pre cipitate flight. About 11 a.m. a number of lads, who attempted to erect a barricade ncmr the arsenal, were taken prisoners by the military, w ino loaded their guns in the presence of the crowd. An open-sir meeting was held this evening in the Alten Market, notwithstanding the proclamation of the police prohibiting it. All the windows in the bonnet the director EA police, and in the poliec-office itself, had been previously destroyed by a tumultuous assemblage. About seven, p.m., the military took pxsession of the main squares. The majority of the civic guard have resolved, it is said, not to take part foist the people, should a collision occur. All the gates 4f the city are guarded by soldiers, and no one h allowed to enter, the authorities fearing that nume rens peasants will arrive to take part in the insurrec- RAI.T.PAST EIORT, r.w.—Matters look threaten ilt; &tots are h. and in different duce: ions. FRANKFORT and BADEN.— From Frankfort we have news of the 24th. A proclamation biting assemblages of people had been issued.

Aceording to the intelligence received from Peeth the 20th, a division of the troops of the hen, THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1848, :recites on this question from 1835 to 18 1 8. Property, under 1 its forma, is sacred in my eyes. I have always laid that I only knew one oommuniem—the communism of sentiment, that is to lay, the religious love of the people, the progressive series of institutions, of labour, assistance and ' practical trattruity calculated to "ennoble and improve the condition of all our bnithren. In proclaiming the republic we restored their sovereignty to the people. To be sovereign they must be reasonable, otherwise they will soon lose the title and exercise of sove reignty. It is therefore for them now to govern themselves by tit. it legitimate representation. If they do not respect thane:Train their elected, In what will thet do so ? and it they do not respect themselves, who will nets. ct them in the world ? Recommend them moderation and wisdom, which are what I n cease ro recommend myself. Yon think that I betray and abandon them ? You are mistaken. I serve them in the only manner in which they require to be served at this moment The impatience which is caused among them is the certain loss of all the rights they have conquered, and all the social advantages of which those rigors wisely exercised giro th•m the pledge. If this misfortune occurs history will not accuse me—it will amuse those who mislead them. The republic, such at th. y desired it in February, March, and Ap r il , was the s , vereietnty of public reason, not the wild ness o f imps e. likable stets and suicidal parei.ns ; and such is the republic which will instruct, moralise, and enrith the people. If of • sect or violent, the republic would give the vicory of the Jecedernoin to the enemies of human reason and progrea ,ise institutions. I could sire to make this conviction pen into pur hearts, with the lame strergtb that It exists in mine. That is henceforth the only service that I can endea vour to render to our country, Bet aside after the storm by the impatience of mire, the resentment of others, I have no other aruhis.ion than that of seeing the republicans of all dates and all the rise unite In the Idea summon to all, of causing the republican form to be accepted as the regular instrument of perfectioneil ciciliration. In this point at least, citizens, we are agreed ; for whatever be the difference of our ideas on the constitution of property, of labour, of branches of industry, we are Frenchmer, We are breth re n, we are republicans'. 81V1TZERLAND.—The Gazzetta Ticinese, of the 22d, annum ces that the Diet has named a communion of five members to give an answer b the third note of Radetski The deputy of Geneva proposed that the Diet should not enter into direct corn sp indeace with Radetaki, but addrt•s itself t • the Minister of Foreign Affaln a• Vienna, to know whether the h stile measures against Switzerland have been adopted by his order ; if sa, Serif: eland must consider them as a declaration of warp dime, the minister should be called upon to anapen.l PI eh measurer immediately.

THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY or i.ONDON.- 1 1rr: V'ZhFleii;yesterday re vised the lists for the parishes in the wards of Csrnhill, Cripplegate Within, Cripplegate Without, and Farringdon Within. —Mr. Crawford Davidson Kerr, of 3, White Lion mart, Csrnhill, was objected to by the liberal agents. Mr. Kerr was on the register u Crawford Kerr, whilst his name was Crawford Davidson Kerr, but he was well known in the city as Crawford Kerr.—Mr. Smith contended that Mr. Crawford Kerr was in China, and in explanation stated that Mr. Crawford Kerr was the son of the claimant, whose name was C. D. Kerr.—Mr. Brown, the conservative agent, con. tended that Mr. Kerr, jun. had been abroad 12 yeah, that he was now only twenty.three years of age, and that the claimant was well known aa Crawford Kerr. He therefore submitted that the claim should be allowed, as it could not be contended that the name on the list did not refer to the claimant —Mr. SlThristie said that if Mr. Kerr, jun., were to return he could claim the vote. As Mr. C. D. Kerr had a vote as • liveryman he should expunge his name from the present list—Expunged aorrdingly.—The following is the result of the day's prceediags : Liberal claims allowed, 4 ; ditto disallowed, 4. Liberal objections sustained, 58; ditto failed, 25. Expunged by the court, 7. Wswrmissrsa.—Mr. F.

Mr. Huggett raised • new point in she latter ca e, that of Thomas Bowles, of St. Abet's-strut, whine dais to be put upon the list was objected to by Mr. Rogers, the vestry clerk of the netted isaridsets of St. Mar garet's and St. John's, on the ground that he had not paid the rate made on the list of May, 1847, before the 21st of July, 1848. Mr. Hurried contended that by the 27th section of 2 William IV. it was not neces sary for the claimant to have paid any rata made sable. quent to the commencement of the &Mond year, and conse quently that the rate made in May, 1847, having bes im posed after the electoral year bad begun, the claimant was (added to have his name inserted on the list of voters for 1848.9.—The reviting.barrister, after consulting the set, stated that the claim must be slowed, and added that the person who had drawn the act entertained the name opinion.—The result of this decision, if eondnaed by the practice of other revising barristers, will be to exonerate ratepayers henceforward from the highly obp atonable effects of the rattpayiaagg clause of the Reform BM, which was somewhat motlihed by the act paned during the last session, known by the name of Oen. Evans's mt. In St Margaret's parish there were no claims. Ore name was struck off on the ground that no house existed in the nursery gardens which had constituted the title to vote. In St. Anne's pariah the claim of W. Wawn, • soot and lot payer was disallowed, on account of the absence of the claimant. In St. George's parish eight claims were made, 6 were allowed, and 3 disallowed, on amount of in formality in tho mode of claiming registration. There were no other alterations made in the list, which contains upwards of 5,000 names. The proceedings here terminated. BANK OF ENGLAND. The adjourned meeting of Bank of England pro prietors was held yesterday in th- Court-room, for th► purpose of taking the votes upon the question of the dividend. It will be recollected that at the meeting held last week the directors proposed that there should be a payment for the halt-year of 31 per cent , without any deduction for income tax, and that an hon. proprietor, Mr. Fielder, thereupon maudlin amendment that the dividend be 31 per cent, and that, in addition, a bonne of 1 per cent, be raid. The voting continued until the afternoon, when the ballot closed, and after a short time Messrs. Sutton, Chorale, Pf ne, and Cusses*, the scrutineers, reported the numbers to be as follows :—For a dividend of three-and-a-half per cent., 138; fur three and a-half and one per cent, Irina% 123; ma jority for the original resolution, 15. The dividend there fore is as proposed by the director!, viz., threenand.s.half per cent for the half year. Mr. FIELDER then rote and rerouted that he hoped the court would give him credit for not having any desire to create oppoei.ion agninst the executive, as he acted upon rrinciple, and was eats-bed the dirnctors conducted the busi ness of the corporation with much ability. The GOVERNOR, in reply, said that Mr. Fielder bad, no doubt, acted consistently. The wart then adjourned. EAST INDIA HOUSE. Yesterday a Quarterly General Court of Proprie tors of East India stock was by hi at the company's house, in Leadenhall.streot Sir James Law Lusbington in the chair. MAJOR SDWARDRB —Mr. SULLIVAN slid that before the court proceeded to the business of the day he was soxioss to all the attention of the proprietors to the gallant and teen acendont services of Major Edwardes—(hesr)—services which he might state bat never been exceeded in the snails of the Indian empire. The promptitude and sagacity which that gallant young officer had disp.ayed on a late occasion wens bayasd all praise, and he hoped that the Court of Di rectors would lose no time in marking their opinion of thine services, and that they would record the tense they enter Wised of his noble conduct. He was sorry to say that the gallant officer had nearly lost the use of his right hand by the explosion of a pistol. The CHAIIIIIAN said he felt great pleasure in rejljing to the remarks made by the honourable proprietor, and the but thing he could do would be to read the minutes of the proceedings of a court of directors which had recently been hold, at which the gallant services of Major Edeardes were brought under their consideration.

Mr. Finn's:said he had no objection to refer the whole matter to the Court of Directors, with the understanding that the proprietors were to hear no more of it. (A laugh.) The Cestaisan said he was glad to hear it admitted that the piLrim-tax was paid in return tor something which had been taken from the natives. The subject had long been under the ooneideration of the Court of Directors. Mr. But.x.tvan said that close the agitation of this ques tion the priests got 70,0001. a year more than they did beton. Mr. Lewis wished ta know whether Were was not some method by whit* the payment of this money could be got rid of altogether I He would suggest that a pri..eipal sum should at once be banded over to the parties, in lieu of the 20,000 rupees a year that was now paid. The CHAIRMAN said such a proposition was all very well, but the hoes, proprietor would recollect that not lees than three or four lam of rupees would be required for that porp2se. After some fueher 81:nervations, the motion wee put and negatived bye considerable majority. COMMA OP Jounce IN INDIA.—MT. SULLIVAN called attention to the want of proper courts for the recovery of small debts in India. The Supremos Court of Bombay had been established upwards of 75 years um. and was conducted with all th e f orms t h at were ....bayed in Westiaineter.halL The natives at dna rushed into that court as sheep would into a good feature, and came out like sheep that had bees into a shearing-house. The present Chief Justiosof Bombay had taken great interest in the subject, and had endeavoured to render the adminiluratien of justice to the natives both cheap and certain, but his endeavours had been defeated at the East India House. The hon. proprietor also called at tention to the propriety of extending the jurisdiction of the supreme court, and concluded by moving for the production' of certain papers on the subject. The CRAIRMAN said he could suture the court that there was no desire on the part of the Board of Directors to previa* the natives of India from having cheap end spftdy justice, and if there had been any ',tiny in paring the hi?l which had been brought forward for that purpose it was net attri butable to the Court of Directors. In the month of July last the directors received a letter from the Governor-General of India enclosing the draft of an sat for establishing courts for the recovery of small debts in India, and which was founded upon the County Courts' Act of this country. It was found that it required some farther alterations in ord, rto make it suitable to Incite, the directors were not sufLiently acquainted with such matters to decide upon them, and the subject was referred to the law officer of the court. The directors were aware of the necessity of ester blisbing a suUaa system is India, and had for some time had the matter under their consideration; they were anxious that the natives should have ch: l 2 and speedy justice, an d o every effort sees makin si t i o th reference to the ei penae the if motion a of t he hon. propeietor, the majority of the papers he required had already been laid before parliament, and under these cir cumatenon he treated the motion would not be pressed. Mr. SULLIVAN said, that after the statement of the hon. chairman he would withdraw hie sa..tion. COURT MARTIAL IN INDIA.-Mr. LEWIN moved for the production of paper, relative to a court martial that had been held at Areot, on two native soldiers, who had been sentenord to be shot, and which sentence had been carried into effect. The CHATIMAN sal it would be extremely imprudent to revive any dbcusalon on this eubject—the whole question had been dhposed of long ago. He had, however, a compl e t e answer to the motion, should the hon. proprietor insist on bringing it forward. Stvan' proprietors urea the propriety of withdra w the motion. MT.

THE REFUGE TOR JUVENILE DESTITUTE DIS CHARGED THOM PlUSON.—Yesterday a meeting of gover nors and general committee of the above institution--an asylum for the destitute of both sexes, who, on their discharge from prison, or from having lout their character by dishonest prseticee, are unable ri peeve an honest maintenance—was I held in the board room of the real• establishment at Boron. The report stated that the went of more adequate accommo dation--eapecially tor the female establishnient—has been long felt. A resolution to erect a new asylum at Ralston has bran passed, the cost of which for the purchase of theground would be 3,0001, and for the building 6 0001. Diving the past year 360 males and females had been received, making a total of about 7,000 sine its institution in 1803.

THE IdECINSITT OP PROPInt MEDICAL CZATIPICAITIL—By Mr. Baker, at the Camel, Poweihsheet, Kinpland-romi on the body of Rebecca Payne:, aged 73, who reeled at No. 60, Powell-I street. The jury, on their return from viewing the body, complained of the state of the room in which deemed was Icing, in consequence cf the effluvium, and they inquired the cause of the inquest being delayed. The Coroner end that the deceased had been nailed d'wn in • yen and was to have been burled, bat that the resider would not the death, the surgeon having certified that she had did of an widen; and who did so without sending information to him or the parochial authorities. It appeared that in the evening of last Saturday week the deceased, while in the sot of closing the yr none shutters, slipped down and fractured her left thigh. She was subsequently attended by Mr. Bow ling, aashtant to Mr. Wildbore, surgeon, High-street, Shoe,- ditch, end died the following Friday from exhaustion—the effect of the injury. The Coroner, after Mr. Bowling had given his evidence, observed that he had acted very wrong is having given a certificate of death to the relatives of the deceased. Verdict: "Accidental death." THE PEACE CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS. We continue oar report of this Congress, prefacing it with the following letter from Mr. J. Hume, M.P., to Mr. J. Stine : SETANsTONE-SQUAILE, SEPT. 11.—To Joseph Sturge, Esq., Chairman of the Peace Congrese.—Re spected Friend,—Although it is not my intention to be in Brussels at the Congress on the 20th of this month, vet I entirely concur in the policy and wisdom of avoiding war; and am disposed to maintain peace on almost soy conditions short of risking our national liberty; but, in the present state of the world, I cannot expect that arbitration clauses or treaties, how ever solemnly agreed to, can prevent war. I had considered wars hitherto, as the evils of kingly go vernment., but the late invasion of the Mexican terri tory convinces me that republics, where universal suffrage exists, can cause what you denominate, unchestian, irrational, and barbarous war,' and I am of opinion that we must look forward to the diffusion of knowledge in the world as the best means of preventing wars. I will admit that you may be able to establish a High Court of Nations,' to wt,ich ' all international disputes might be referred,' bat when the thirst of conquest or political lousy takes krosession of a nation, oe dillies: to get that nation to attend to any arbitration that the 'High Court' might award, and the orders of that court might, I fear, require armies to enforce them, and, in that way, war might become one of the consequences of the peace arbitration. lam very favourable to a general 'disarmament of nations,' and I believe that that would really be an immediate and effectual ' amens of preventing wars; and if the 'Peace Con confi' would visit every state in Europe, and would ne their efforts to that me object, their labours may be productive of invaluable blessings to the human race. lat the same time wish you success in your benevolent course, and remain, your obedient servant, Joseem Hume." " believe that France has ordered a con siderable disarmament of her marine forces, and I trust Great Britain will speedily do the same." The Congress resumed on Wednesday evening. The President (M. Vissehen) anoounoed the resolution on the eider of the day for the forenoon sittinr, " that an appeal to arms for the purpose of settling disputes among the nations, is an usage condemned alike by reason, humanity, and roll gion ; and that it is the duty of the civilised world to adopt immediate measures to secure its total abolition." This proposition met with but one exception to its unanimous adoption. The order of the day for the sitting was then announced: "The utility and necessity of adopting a clause in all International treaties ; binding the parties to refer all divines to arbitration, that war may be avoided, and the way thee prepared for a permanent appeal to the principles of justice as consoOdated in a con gress of nations." The discussion on this proposition was latreduced by an extended paper by Mr. W. Stokes, of the London Peace Society; after which speeches were delivered by M. Rouen!, professor at the University at Bra eels; M. Panchand, evangelical pastor at Brussels; 111. Restral de Mongert ; K. Ramon de la Sagra, of Madrid (who coatroverted the question); Mr. J. Surge, of Birmingham ; and Mr. J. S. Buckingham, of London. A disultory conversation then ensued, and the congress adjourned at ten o'clock. On the 21st the president announced the resolution as founded on the preceding discussion, which having been put was adopted unanimously with but two exceptions. The concern then passed to the order of the day, " The utility and practicability of a Congreu of Nations, for the formation of a code of international law, by an spree' to which all national disputes may he amicably adjust , d without an ap peal to war." This distension was introduced by a length coed paper on the subject by Mr. E. Burritt, after the read ing of which the following gentlemen addressed the con gress :—M. Burtinatti, of Turin, Mr. H.Vinpent, M. Ramon de la Sagra, of Madrid (Who again controverte d the ques tion), Mr. Ewan, M.P., who ably replied to the Spenrard, Mr. Scheid, the kiss's librarian; Mr. H. Clapp, of America; and Messrs. Bouvet, Swart, end Burritt, who avowed on be half of their respective nations, an ardent desire for perma nent peace. In the evening sitting several new converts to the cause ' were ramed, among whom, M. de Tracy, member of the French National Assembly, appeared conspicuously. The resolution founded on the morning's discussion was then read, and carried unanimous with one exception. The congress immediately proceede d to the order of the day, "To call the ettentien of governments to a measure of general disarmament, as tending to the removal of national jealousies, and the promotion of those mutual good offices which would prove a guerantee for perpetual peace." An elabo-ate paper on this subject by Mr. W. Stokes of the London Peace Society was rea d, and introduced the diszus• sion. Speeches were deliverer ! during the debate on the question by M. Alvin, Director of Public Instruction: U. &nines, of Amsterd am ;M. l'Ahbe Louis, of Brussels ; M. Roussel, the advocate; M. Huet, Professor at Ghent University ; and the Rev. T. Spencer, of Bath. After a dis cussion in which M. Ramon de la Says failed to obtain a hearing, and consequently withdrew, the president put the resolution based on the question of the evening, which was adopted with one dbacatient suite. On the 22nd a soiree was] given to the congress by the Belvieu committee, at which a considerable proportion of the elite of Brunels were present. Se veral spathes were delivered at intervals, chiefly by Bel gian gentlemen. At half-past ten in the evening the English delegates withdrew to prepare for their return to England. A venal t rain having been generously furnished by the Belgian government, th e delegates took their places at twelve at night, and amidst hearty cheers from a considerable number of gentlemen who had accompanied them to the train, departed for Ostend, where they safely arrived boon after five on Saturday =erring. Here they embarked on board the Giraffe steamer, which landed them safely at Blackwell at about ten at night. After entering the Thames a public meeting was held on deck, and several speeches were delivered by various gentlemen, in which the assembled friends were exhorted to persevere in cause whose commencement had proved so truly auspicious. IRELAND. Dummy. SEPT. 27. A most startling and significant conclusion arrived at by one of the parties secured of high treason, and not on trial at the commission, has come to my know ledge to-day. It is of so extraordinary a nature that I should not alone hesitate to state it, but should meet it with positive disbelief, if my authority was not such as to leave no room for doubt. My information is this. Fennel notice has been this forenoon given to the government that the great literary leader of the confederate movement—the great concoctor of its plans—the great architect of its organisation—he who was the life and soul of the party—the organiser of the clubs, the imggester of ambassadorships and of solicitations of foreign aid—in tact, the head and front of the Nation has this day caused it to be announced to the government, through his solicitor, that he does not intend to put the government to the labour of • prosecution in his case, but that he is prepared to plead guilty to whatever indictment the crown may prefer against him, throwing himself on the mercy of the executive to dispose of him as may seem fitting in the case of one who does not even question its autho rity, much less offer any opposition to its paramount operation. The time of making this submission is not less extraordinary than is the fact that it has been made. The influence which it must have upon the approach ing trials mast be very great, and that influence it will be impossible to avoid if, as I believe, the fact it self will be publicly announced to-morrow in the public journals. The fact of Mr. Duffy's submission having been but just communicated to me I have no further time to dwell on it at present. I believe the old repeal association is on the eve of dissolution. The appeal to the country for contribu tion. has not been answered. It is in vain that a few devoted adherents of the late Mr. O'Connell pro fessed their readiness to come forward with subscrip tions ; the people made no response. Every cler igman of the catholic church in Ireland has been spe cially written to, and though some have not been wanting, still neither " the needful" nnr anything like it has been realised. The result, it is said, is, that the com mittee has determined to sell the library of the asocia lion, and, doubtless, Conciliation Hall itself may be soon expected to follow. The sale will take place in November, and will certainly be worth the attention of collectors, as the works on Irish history and politics are many of them rare and valuable—they were col lected in the prosperous days of the association with out much consideration of expense. The executive has offered a reward of 1001. for the capture of Mr. O'Mahony, who is stated to have led the insurgents in the recent outbreak in Tipperary and Waterford. The following is from the Einsing Post : Am we mentioned in oar last, a eomaltation of the coon eel retained on behalf of Mr. Smith O'Brien took place on Saturday afternoon, at the residence of Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., in Mountjoysquare, to decide whether the attendance of Lord John Russell as a witness at the Tipperary Special Commission would be necessary. The mimed were unani mously of opinion that there was no grocand whatever for requiring the Pleader to attend, and a communication to that effect was made to Mr. Redington, the under secretary, in order to save Lord Jahn ilturell the trouble of a journey to Cloning'. The Lord Chancellor has superseded, in the com mission of the peace for the county of Berry, Mr. John Shea Lalor and Mr. Denis Shine Lawlor, of Gutlelough, both of whom have taken prominent parts in the repeal and confederate agitation. The accounts from the south this morning are fall of those incidents which may be taken as corrobora tory of the views I have constantly put forward, viz., that the present quiet was deceptive. One letter in a morning paper states that about November another emeute may be expected; and it adds, that no parties In the country care to admit even to their most inti mate friends their apprehensions for the coming winter. Meantime partial collections of the people are daily taking place, and many parties appear armed here and there apparently without object. Notwith standing the manifest disaffection of the people, it is a subject of remark from everrbody how few police suffice to bring political delinquents through populous parts of the country. The circumstance speaks well for the prestige of proweas which that force must have amongst the peasantry. Sir Lucius O'Brien has arrived at Clonmel, and will remain there until after the trial of his unhappy brother. The latter, it is said, is unceasing in his study of the law of treason as it is developed in the text writers and in the date trials which are of record. As inearrestleasey sees* was posted in the route from • to the Bed House, Waterford, en Sunday lair, • on the ass of Waterford to " organise and b,2 prepared," as they wou!d so,rt be called on. Being political, the " men " ei,o,a'ed to took very little notice of it. Manifestly the d,;:nrnent came from a factory of them, however, as it bore the folds and other marks of having been in some person's pocket. The celebrated Father Gentili, most distin;uished formerly as an advocate in Italy, and latterly as emi nent preacher in the Roman catholic church, died here yesterday of inflammation in the throat. The father was well known in London. The following appears in the KilAenny Jourad ARREST or Ewers MTARTRT.—This gentl43loD, WWI is a classical t•scher, and a man of some ability, was ar. rested at Castlecourr, on Friday night last, by Head-con• stable Kilkelly. It appears be tried to cause a soldier of the 83r•1 regiment there stationed to fraternise with him. The soldier went to the polka-station and aimed Meath) , to be arrested. This unfortuna•e man is thus described ie the Hes and Cry: " Pd'Carthy, 40 years of ago, five fast maven inches high, slender make, dark complexion, dark hair, pale ant delicate looking, of a sickly appearance, and appears a little lame when walking. Oa &Muds y, John Camack, a farmer, residing at Newpallas, was arrested by the constabulary, for co-op• rating with Patrick Cunningham is the attempt to imbue the railroad polio• with tevo'.u• tionsry feeling.

G. Barron. Esq., charged with treasonable acts is the e.unty Tipperary. Tire CONVICT MARTIN.—Mr. Martin's medical attendant (Dr. Kidd) states that the report of that gentleman being dangerously ill of fore, is an exaggeration; that the attack under which be labours is an extremely mild one; and that there is every reason to anticipate hie speedy recovery. The following is from the Tipperary Vindicator of this morning, i steel Carrick, Saturday : The contrast between the condition of the population hero and that of the people in the Northern districts of our ci.unty and in Clare, Oalstay, and the King's County, is mat striking even to the casual observer. You do not mica the wrstcheuuese and raggedness here which pain one wherever he goes in the Ormonds and in the adjoining counties. In this town on Saturday, which was market day, 1 saw crowds of country people, and judging trout their appearance, they are no doubt comfortable when compared to other diatrcts. The workhouse here, with is auxiliaries , contain little more than six hundred inmates. The rates do not reach anything like the figure they amount to in other unions ; but, notwithstanding all this, there is much destituticn and misery, and the drain by way of emigration is literally enormous. There is not a day but ten or fifteen, and some times more, ears ►oaded with effects and furniture, proceed Waterterd vri.h their owners, to take shipping for Ame rica. In many instances these persons ere pretty well to do in the world. They are generally provided with a sufficiency of money to bring them to the other side of ti c Atlantic ; but in some cues persons go off without taking their wives and children, whom they leave either a perpetual incubus on the rates of the union, or a temporary burden on the public taxer, until they procure means in America to send for them. This may be said generally not only of this district, but of the entire south and south west of Ireland. The agricultural classes, almost generally, despair of effecting resod in Ireland. Some of the land lords are encouraging their desire for emigration. 1 have been told that Lord Donoughmore is giving every facility to tenants on his estate for this object—with what good result lam not aware. Outsr landlords are doing the same; but voluntary emigration gots on rapidly, and some gentlemen who have just returned from Liverpool assure us that that port is crowded with Irish emigrants preparing to go out by the next vessels. After an investigation held before the magistrates on Thursday, in which ten persons were charged on the in formations of a man of the name of Pa'riek Connors, two men were committed for trial to Clonmel gaol, accused of the attack on the Olenbower police elation, and with appear ing in arms. {Their names are John Shea and Thomas Burke. On Friday and Saturday the megistrates (on the informatioal of the same Patrick Connors) held an investigation into a charge of attacking the Mats Quarries and Okabower police stations, and of appearing in arms at Minute, against John Hayes, James Lenergan, Richard Daniel, Edward Loncrgan, Jamie Keefe, Jeremiah Dunne, Timothy Connell, Wm. Rochf,rd, John Lonergan, Thomas Butler, Patrick Cooney. Michael Comerford, Patrick M'Carthy, John Hogan, Jere miah Hogan, William Crotty, and James Shady. Butler and Dianne were liberated on Saturday evening; the others were remanded for further examination ; and from what I can learn of the character of the informer, I believe I may say that the case is not strong against them. Several respect able persons have been summoned to prove, and they this day obeyed the summons and did prove, that James Steady, chimed with having been one of the armed party at Ahenna Hill on the 12th instant, was in this town on that day tran sacting burning. There were other witnesses, but the chief person that appeared in that capacity was Patrick Connors sloressid.. Several destitute, miserable women were also tiled on a charge of going out at night end stealing potatoes from the gardens in the country. These charges were preferred by the police ; bat as there was no identification the women were discharged. The system of nocturnal plunder continues. The farmers are plucked to a great extent—so are some of the neighbouring gentry. Mr. Wall, of Coolnemuck, loot eight or nine fat sheep last week in this way. The outrage on this gentleman is very disgraceful, as he is a kind-hearted charitable person. A draft of fifty additional police arrived here on Friday night from Dublin. There are now about two hundred police in and about this place. The camp continues at Besaborough, with two pieces of artillery. The town it self le also crowded with soldiers, of whose conduct I have heard no complaints. On Saturday, about eighty police were drafted to the county Waterford, where, I un derstand, they ant to be located between Portlier, Curregh more, tic. As to Curreghmore, ft is atelier fortified end supplied with cannon. Special constables are morn in— guard is mounted every day, and ten men are placed con stantly on duty, prepared for any emergency that may arise. It is said that police are to be stationed also about the neigh bouring Waterford mountains where the insurgents lately appeared. A violent feeling appeca to prevail against the very few of the catholic clergy who took part in the Confe r derate movement in its early stages. What it proceeds from I am not able to ledge ; but of its existence there is no doubt. Curious stories are related in conneiCon with this subject ; but though I have heard them on the best authority, I do not feel myself justified in giving them publicity. It is certain at all events, notwithstand ing all the insinnetions, lies, and libels to the contrary, that with the extremely few exceptions referred to, the clergy as a body nobly performed their duty in poi n ti ng out to the people the dangers of civil war—in cautioning them against those dangers, and in the teeth of personal conse quences preaching peace and order. I know of thousands of instances to this effect, where clergymen have been accused of pessiveness or connivance before the storm came ; but time will reveal the truth in its full light, and justify their pro ceeding* in every porticalar. Yesterday (Sunday) morning six persons guarded by police were marched in to the Bridewell of this town from Portiere, in the coney Watarlord. All the witnesses and prisoners are retained as yet in the Bridewell here. I saw them yesterday. They are kept in separate yards of the prison during the day, with a policeman fully armed guard ing them. The appearance of some of the prisoners is ex tremely wretched. On Saturday evening a rather ludicrous occurrence took place. Mr. Armstrong Stoney, of Baseline, was arrested in the streets of this town just uho was entering the hotel. He is the son of one of the Ormond magistrates. His dress is o rather peculiar —a ca g with a bread blue band, which l looked green in the ter" ht, a long grey . shooting jacket, de. He was furnished with sundry suspicions-looking arti cles, such as a sketch-book, drawing material', a telescope, de., and, I believe, a gen. Ile had come down the river in a boat from Clonmer, and being, I am told, an amateur artist, he employed his time in sketching the scenery of the "seat of war," including Slievenamon mountain, Croughane in the Commeraghs, &a He was at once brought before Mr. Coniston, R.M., who Instituted a strict examination. Mr Stoney told who and what he was—ajuror of the county, the son of a magistrate—that he had come down from Ch nruel daring the adjournment of the commission to visit and take sketches of the scene of the late disturbances. The sketches, de., were brought in evidence against him by one of the po lice constables, whose conduct I have he tit was vary imper tinent and offensive, so much so that Mr. Stoney called on the magistrate to reprimand him. The upshot of the matter was, that Mr. Coniston said he would send a policeman with Mr. Stoney to his hotel ; but Mr. Stoney replied that if, after the references he gave and the facet he stated, the ma gistrate thought well to commit him, he should do alto the gaol of the town at his own peril. Mr. Stoney was ulti mately liberated. CLONYEL, MONDAY EVENING.—I have just strived here from Carriek-on-Suir. The town wears its usual tun gull appearance. Two persons against whom war rants were out for alleged implication in the clubs of Carrick, have been just brought in from Thurles, accompanied by Mr. Gore Jones, R.M. One of them is a Mr. Cunningham, of Carrick, who had been sale man at the concerns of Messrs. Teehan and Barry of that town ; the other is a man of the name of Griffin, who had been groom at Mr. Sadleir's of Lakefield. Both have been lodged in the county gaol. It is Mated with great coisfichnew that a venerable Baron of the Hschequer, who resides in this neighbourhood, visited Mrs. Smith O'Brien and the Howe ger Lady O'Brien on Saturday, and acquainted them with the serious position in which Mr. Smith O'Brien stand- in relation to th charges preferred against him. It is further stated that the ladies were not aware of the feet till the learned baron revealed it to them, and that it has had a very serious eff et upon them. The Freeman's Journal has the following from the same pones: " Carriek•on•Suir, Sept. 26.—Since Friday •good teeny of the Irish army' have been taken in this locality ; amongst the rest a Kr. J.
