Comae s ia.s.t on the ' , sundry consumption, and shipments at this movie being on a very light scale, together with the editing laze pr elisation, the era& of pig iron will in all robs i4q accumulate for sums time to come. It may be werthy of remark that there hta la-ely been a eonsiderable "mut, shipped, and is now lying for sale at Runcorn and other prams in Lan shire. of *Soh no notice is taken in the annexed estimate. In 1847 the quantity used for local Taal !nide Inns parpasm was 121,100 tons, whereas this year it has been t ieeedsd by 31,200 tram. The progressive extension of this branch of the Scotch Iron trade has exercised an important indurate* in keeping the stock of pig Iron low, while the moderate price of Inn has induced large foreign and home orders which formerly were executed in England and Wales. In 1847 the export of Scotch manufac tured Iron to foreign ports was 3,520 tons; in 18t8 it amounted to 10,300 tone Considering the probable con tinuance of the American demtnd 1.. r pig-iron, the eettls ment of politkal attain on the Continent, and the evident symtouts of improvement in the commerce of this country, it does not appear unreasonable to anticipate for this important brand% of national Industry some participotion in the benefit of a revival is trade ; and, it is to be hoped, this may be the effect of legitimate demand and nid the result of speculation. Ravine the present year, speculatien in pipiron has been en an esoredingly limited seals , transactions of the kind having more the character of jobbing than of aperalaties The extreme variation in price thougboot ,the year has bean about 12.. 6d. per ton. Sines the 214 instant there has en a rather extensive business done here in Scotch Pig- Iron ; the price has advanced, during the interval, about 2.. to 2s. 6i per ton ; and the market closes Ann, with buyers of Mixed Numben, at 41s. 61. per ton, net cash, t. o. h.

COTTON.—LITBEFOOL, Dec. 30.—Upon the sup pukka& that theeplaners bold 60,000 hales more than at the same period in 1847. the connamption of Cotton will be found to have increased 6,420 balsa week' y, or 281,600 bales in the whole. The falling off in 1847 from 1846 was 431,000 bales, the recovery in 1848 is 281,600 halm This, it most be re inentherrd, is only the went* of the year, for the consump tion actually going on is probably as large as the average of 1846, the year of the greatest consumption yet known. The event , w irk have occurred since Wt year, oonensereially con sidered, have been very die/attach In referring beck to tie moth of January, it will bs found to hays been one of tolerah'e steadiness in prier, although, from the total den ruc tion or all speenheive feeling, the cotton market then indi cated few and wily distant dins of improvement. In Feb ruary a dedd , dly Maw disposition manifested itself. During the month efillosit the foaling which predominated in this market wee Mae as's= hopelessness. There was a desire to sell, not desey from fear of a decline in prise but from a general distrust in persons and things. In April, in addition to foreign disquietude, a tendency to domestic insurrection was exhibited. The troubled state of affairs on the Continent so materially the distribution of the American 0fq..4 that prime at Havre, by reason of the want raw material, advanced there considerably, whilst here, on the other bend, by reason of the extra supply, they for a censors naturdly gave way. Joined to such unforeseen cause of increased import, it now becune manifest that all the assertions as to the short crop made in the months of J July, and August, 1847, were wholly untrue. T une, he ~ins into the American ports up to May, 1848, 1 were 30,000 bales more than at the some period in 1847; Oa as a consequence of this, and from the unwillinsnes or lapeesibi:ii which continued of shipping to Prance, then began to fall in the A mer i can awaken so pricer Importantly, as no longer to leave any loss, bee rather a prt, upon importation. Renee, June wee heat • meth et large American import, and under the new sad adverse circumstances, our quotations wens with M indy maintained. In July, the deemed fee Cedes was beenniug so large, both from the trade recd ezportere, that press slightly recovered. But in August, bed weather, until just the close of the month, once more imparted an sip easy character to beefiness, and tended vi depress the market for Cotton. and acting as a counterpoise to other favourable events, still forced down prices October wes equally dull, and at the end of that month 2,200 bales of Uplands, at pub. lis isle ` Welt off at prices which were nev-r before quoted, NRd.

Coincident with the manifestation of a more wholesome and peaceful feeling in exercise for effecting the adjustment of polities' matters oil the continent of Europe generally, it Is satkfactory, at the termination of anthem rimmukstde and eventful year, to notice the °optimums of improvement in the trade of this district. Conaidming the season of the year , which is generally of a dull and inanimate character, the transaations of the month have been to sa extent almost nnprecedented, no far ea December is concerned. They ma. not, however, be viewed with the same rathilmdos as those of November, inasmuch as some considerable speculative purcba'es have been made, which have naturally tended to augment the aggregate operations, and to enhance artificially in value for a time some descriptions of both cloth and twist. Notwithstanding this drawback, business is in a sound and healthy condition, and justifies the expression of a hops that it will continue to he so for some time, unless counteracted by the agency of some unforeseen orsualty, or obdructed by she demand for excesaive rates by spinners and manufaturers. Prices have again advanced considerably during the month. Though some descriptions of goods and yarns can be pur chased at the rates ruling at the end of October, yet the ad vance obtainable generally will vary from 26 to Ft per cent. or thereabouts. Prices too have been very irregular during the month, owing to the difference arising between stocks in hand, and yarns or goods that lead to be spun or manu factured. From this advance should not be omitted that which Uas been established in the price of consuming quali of American C,ttuo, lest the spinners of low numbers should be supposed to be in any much better position. The position of thus class of spinners in a general way cannot be considered improved ; but with regard to those who produce finer ranges, they are undoubtedly experiencing a decided change for the better—at least, so far as to what portion may be re quired In cop, whereon a material advance is established, and which is mainly in demand for the country trade. In con - conclusion, the operations of the month have been chiefly for export, with the exception cf Yarns adapted for the country trade, in which a large business has been Again done. In goods for the country trade, except where an immediate ad vance was probable, but little has been done. The extreme prices demanded by both spinners and manufacturers during the last ten days have had the effect of curtailing operations materially, and t 3 dispose purchasers to operate only for im mediate waste; the general imprnsion being that excessive rates cannot otherwise be realised.—AkNair, Grcenhow, and Irviny's Circular. TOBACCO.—LIveRrooL, Dec. 30.—The males of Tobacco this mouth are 1,068 hhds. The imports of the year have been 10,471 hhde. The deliveries of the year have been 12,811 hhds. The sales of the year am mat to 13,432 hhds., against 12,467 last year, and 11,511 in 1846. The weight of unnanutactured Tobacco upon which duty was panel in 1846, was 26.667,1431b4 s 1841841. A 26,701,9111b5., awl this year, 26 777 399th.., showing an in crease over the previous one of 75,4381b5. It will be oueerved that she sales this year have been 1,016 hltds. more thus last year, and the imparts only 111 hods. more ; the stock, however, i5:2,131 hbda. less than at the dose of last year, and 382 less than at the end of last mouth. hlwnuf,eturers and Irish dealers k iving stocked themselves list month, the market has not been so active, but holders continue v. ry firm; prices have been folly maintained, and the market deems arnaly.—From Elliot and Crtnadt's Circular. CORN.—MAISSE-LANE.— The supply of English Wheat was only moderate this morning, and the lisiva stands were el. sr•d at an early hour, at rates fully equal to those of the 18th ult. The Kentish did not meet so brisk a sale, but no alteration sae be quoted is its value. 17try large arrivals of foreign Barley have depressed prices of all secondary and inferior qualities of English, which, together with foreign of all descriptions must be .. quoted Is. to 2s. cheaper. Oats, of which article the receipts from abroad have also been liberal, must be noted 6d. to Is. cheaper to all but the choicest qualities. Beans and Peas, ls. lower.

LZICEST2R, Dee. 30.-Business very dull to-day, and very few sales effected. Wheat hardly realised the rates of Saturday last. Barley and Beans have each declined in value about le, per qr. In Oats and Peas very little change, but prices had a downward tendency. MaNCHESTRR, Dec. 30.-Continued dulness pervades the corn trade, and the business of the week has been confined to retail transactions, which, also, was the case at Lir.rpool and Wakefield yesterday. If any client. in prices he no. ticeable at our market to-day, it is, that Wheat and Flour are rather lower, but nothing is doing upon which to esta blish any positive change in the quotations of our last. In other articles there is no variation, and the business done in every article, is confined to the narrowest requirements of censumen. The following are the prices ; Wheat, per bushel of 701 he., English, white, 7e. 01. to fis. Od ; red, 7*. to 7s. Gel.; Irish, white, 7s. Od. to 7s. 64.; red, 6s. 31. to 71.

NEWCLISTLE•ON-TYNX, Dee. 30. -The weather in the early part of the week was mild and open, with occasional rain, but since Wednesday slight inlets Lave prevailed, which are much wanted for improving the coudiiion of all grain. The trade during the present week hss been quite of a holi day character, and the business riming has been chiefly en bonded Wheat, of which a few parcels have been Wren to hold over. Iu free grain so little has transpired as warmly to be worth reporting. This moruing we had a much less supply of Wheat from the growers, and the arrivals coastwise being equally so, the trade opened with somewhat more firm ness, and a Air extent of busier, was done at rather over last Saturday's rates. In bonded several tracsactions oc curred at the free price, less the ezianiur du y. Fee= was held with more firmness, ass as our millers are determined upon making no change in their price, we may fairly look for mere demand for Norfolk qualities during next week. The present value of households may be stated at 335. to 345., extra marks being worth a valet more, whites at the same time being salew.le, at 314. to 365. per sack respectively. In fi l e, Beasts, or Peas, so little is stirring that our quota nuns ma y be deemed nominal. The best descrir was W malting Barley about sustain their 'Liu', but nil other descriptions whether British or foreign are most difficil, to quit, although lower rates would be subedited to to mako progress. Malt comparatively Legit etel. Being moss sparingly supplied with Oats by our growers, and the arrivals coastwise being more moderate, a clearance was steadily effected, at about last week's prices; but the foreign receipts, exciting little attention, for the present are mostly being placed in band. Tae duty on Wheat is Is. higher ;on other grain there is no change.

The trade was by no means active, there being a short number of buyers; but the best dry samples were taken off at prices currant on this day week. The quantity of Barley samples on offer was large, and the trade was heavy. The farmers were firm in their demand., and though the mslaters acted with caution, the best samples were not lower. Oats, best, was not lower; but secondary samples were • trifle reduced in value. Beans and Peas attracted but very little attention, and the turn cheaper. Wheat, 91. to 131. per load.

BELrvirr, Dec. 28.-We h..vis come to the close of a year remarkable, in a mercantile point of view, for the con tinued depression and monotony with which business has been carried cn ; and it is row only at the close of the year that a deubtful appearance sat a reaction has arisen, and whe• ther it may be that we are to have a revival or not depends on so many contingencies, few of which are under our con trol, that it is quite impossible to form any correct estimate for the future ; and all we can say is, that the feeling is pent, general that we have passed the worst, and that with the new year, and the turn over of a new leaf in the volume of free traae, we are likely to have a revival of trade generally, and the grain trade in particular, and this op•nion is formed from the estimate made of stocks and de mand. Title he ing Christmas week, our supplies have been smaller than usual ; the quality and condition are, however, improved with the change of the weather. Wheat sells eluwly, at about former pricer. Flour is also a slow sale, and prices, are in favcur of the buyer. Barley; Good malting qualiiies sell freely at an advance of 3.2 to 41. per cwt , whilst grinding qualities are dull of sale, and lower. Oats sell freely, at an advance of 22. to 32 , and Oatmeal at a P mita advance. Indian Corn is a slow sale, at 71. 15s. to 11. per ton. Coax., Dee. 30.-For the early part of the week we 1 boisterous, wet weather; the pan few days have beln and the temperature mild. Supplies of grain to our mark, t Ircm the farmers have been small; 335 barrels Wheat, 1,0a4 barrels Barley, and 2,809 barrels Oats for the week. As is usual at this period of the year, the trade in every department has been characterised by the utmost inactivity and dulness, with scarce any qu .table variation in prices of any description; the s.,me remark applies to Flour and Indian Meal, for which a Flow consumptive sale has been experienced, at rather receding rates ' • the demand for Indian Corn has also been restricted, and a little less money has been accepted. In prepared and store Corn scarce a transaction occurred, and, with continued extensive foreign arrivals, up to 13 cargoes of Mi ize, and 10 of Wheat this week, buquess altogether remains in the most paralysed state. Our Corn Exchange this corning was very thinly attended, and supply short ; 150 barrels Wheat, 726 barrels Barley, 1,074 barrels Oats ; all hied• went off slowly, at about previous currency. Prices of prepared Corn free on beard : Wheat, 25. to 27e. ; Barley, 17 , . to 12s. Gd.; Oats, white, 10s. to lls. 02. ' • back, 10s. per barrel. Indian Corn, yellow, 81. 2s.

LIMERICK, Dee. 30.-The weather for the past week had been mild, with occasional high winds, but swd-sowing has not been retarded ; a good breadth of land will be laid under Wheat of late tillage. The supplies of all grain sine. ear last have been moderate, with a downward tendency, with the exception of Barley, which meets ready sale, at an ad vance, for distilling. Few arrivals of Indian Corn. The demand is slack, and value receded nearly 10s. per ton. Indian Meal in slow retail consumption. The demand for Barley Meal and other coarse bresdstuffs is very brisk, and the prices fi rm. The following are our rates :-Wheat, red, 13d. to 14d. per stone; white, 14d. to 1541. Oats, 71d. to 81d.

WATERFORD, Dec. 30.-The slight increase in our sup plies of grain from farmers noticed in our last, has not been continued-our receipts of all kinds of country Cora since last Saturday having been as small as them of any week since harvest, but our amvals from abroad are again very heavy. At this morning's market scarcely a sample of either Wheat, Oats, or Barley, was exhibited for sale ; prices for these mar, therefore, be noted nominally as on this day sennight. fa free foreign Wheat a moderate business has been done, at a decline of 6d. per barrel ; and some quantity in bond has changed hands, at 251. to 265. per barrel.

It has been a year of dissolution, of ferment, and of change. The Medea of revolution cut into pieces the body politic of Europe, and threw them into her cauldron, on the promise that all should come forth young, strong, and renovated. And yet, nevertheless, the forms which have issued from the cauldron seem very much like the old palsied limbs and careworn faces that were flung into it. Let us await however the end of the experiment; there may be complete renovation even where as yet we can discover none. The predominant feeling, the great characteristic of 1848, there is, however, no mis'aking. It was unde ' niably a feeling of panic. And, strange to say, the predisposition; to it existed even before the events oc curred which gave some grounds for its being entertained. For in fact all those events, all those outbursts of revolution, were caused by panics in governments and rulers, and by those in authority and power acting exclu sively on a principle of fear. It is impossible to look upon Louis PHILIPPE and M. GUIZOT, pothering both of them in trepidation and doubt, whether they should allow a dinner to take place or not, without perceiving that both had lost their wits from fear ; and it is • gushy impossib!e to observe the weakness of repressive force, the absence of precautions, and the incapability of making use even of the means at hand, without admitting that the French go vernment of February were under the influence of a panic a panic that demented it and this even before there was tle least real cause for fear. Panic at Vienna, panic at Berlin, panic at Milan, the universal defeat of the soldiery, and the subsequently universal victory of the same soldiers, showed that panic alone betrayed armies and their generals into an abandonment of that strung attitude which flung the people everywhere so com pletely on their own resources of government, and which has led to the sanguinary, and, in some cases, unnecessary, acts of repression. England has been fortunately exempt from any participation in the events which convulsed the con tinent in 1818. It has, however, not been exempt from the prevailing sentiment. Panic has spread widely and largely. Every class has undergone its influence, and shows it by its acts. Our government did nut escape the epidemy, and betrayed it on seve ral occasions. Our aristocracy have been in a per manent fright, and have scarcely uttered a word even on the most trivial subject that does not worour of it ; commercial men have been frightened, manufacturers have been alarmed, and pressure from other causes added such solid grounds to the ima ginary ones for alarm, that at no time crhaps did idle fear beget such precipitate conver sions to conservatism, as amongst the very men and the very class which may return to serfdom if liberal ideas do not progress and prevail. We are fully aware that for the last year we have thus been struggling against a very strops, tide, the tide of panic—a tide that has carried off whiggism altogether from its frail moorings, and compelled it into the same rapid current with that toryism which it so long shunned and struggled against. We do not despair, however, of seeing men and things in 1849 recover their usual composure, and resume their natural course. And we heartily desire it; for to preserve the status quo in politics appears to us utterly impossible. We mu-t go on, or we must go backwards. As backwards is the way to revolu tion, it is the interest of all to prevent a relapse in that direction, however generally the minds of the dominant classes were tut ned to it in 1848. Yet in progress onward, we do not see what hopes are to be entertained of the old aristocratic parties. They are pretending to deal with the great and vital questions of the day : but how, or in what spirit? Merely fumbling with them. What can they propose with regt rd to tax ation ? Mere scraps of official economy ; half-a-mil lion to be saved here, and expended there. Whet with Ireland? The old policy of keeping an army of 40,000 men to prevent two races and two religions from cutting each others throats ; the government which w ield s this army and makes this ex peudit ure, possessing no real influence over either of the racee,which it saves, yet which it allows to continue in the language of defiance and the feeling of disgust. England sows millions annually in Ireland, to reap merely abhor rence and rebellion. Our foreign policy is as monstrous an absur dity, and as transparent a sham. We are pretend ing to influence and diplomatise Europe ; and yet it is plain to ali Europe that the minister whom we employ to do this has not the honest support of even the aristocratic parties in the country for what he is doing. As to the popular party, it is either averse, or is kept in the dark. The consequence is, that of the governments of Europe, the great ones laugh at no, whilst the small ones insult us. And in fact, the kingdom of Holland or the republic of San Marino have just as mach influence in Europe as we. It has been in order to arrive at this magnificent result, that we have raised an immense fleet and doubled oar military expenses. And Whigs and tories tell us we can never fall back to our old peace estab lishment. Why? Do foreign powers threaten us? They have neither the power nor the will. Do we threaten them? Parliament would not hear of it; and yet parliament is eager to pay for a military ex penditure which can only be warranted by views of offensive warfare. Oar colonial system tells the same tale precisely as our domestic and oar foreign policy. Panic is at the bottom of it, too; panic, fear of colonial frowardness, and consequently bayonets, governors, and fleets for repression. Fear and expenditure, expenditure and fear—such are, in fact, the great cause and effect in our aristocratical system of government. And we do not say that it might not continue to succeed if the sources of revenue were still abundant, or if the accumulated weight of the expenses of past centuries, had not brought the present generation into the painful conclusion of having nothing left to spend for themselves. In fact, if we had a wish to make war, we could not ; and the keeping up our military estab lishment to the highest possible pitch to which re sources can be strained, is, in the face of such a poli tical axiom, one of the most glaring absurdities of the system. We cannot, however, dispel these illusions, and get out of our present circle of deception and ruin, until we get rid of panic. As long as not only our governing classes remain in a permanent fright, but can persuade the middle classes to join in it—u long as bugbears are offered, or can be invented for the purpose, and as long as these are successful in creating affright —so long we may bid good bye to economy, or to any other policy or government than the present panic-stricken, puree-open, paralysed, and aristocracy-ridden system. It has had a fine, long, heavy, nightisare seat upon the very breasts and hearts of the terrified English people throughout 1848. We shall see whether in 1849 the nightmare may not he 'lumen off and the terrified victim awaken. MR. J. IlsGuEcort has published, in a letter to his Glasgow constituents, a detailed expo, , ition of the retrenchments which he thinks may immediately be made in public expenditure, and of the way in which he would avail himself cf the saving thus effected to relieve the tax-payers. His statement is obscured by a multiplicity of historical and auto-biographical details interwoven with it. Separated from this extraneous matter, and from a good deal of desultory remark, his proposals are briefly as follows : The total expenditure of 1847 (after deducting 1,323,8001. for Irish distress) was 57,704,6141. M e . WGREGOR is of opinion that, by certain arrange. ments, the expenditure of the year might he reduced to 52,400,0001. Of this sum he allots 28,250,0001, to pay the interest of the debt; and, in order to make the remaining 24,150,0001. meet the remaining current expenses of the year, he proposes the following re. ductions :—Army, navy, and ordnance, f rom 18,500,000/. to 14,250,0001.; civil list, from 393,8001. to 390,0001. ; other charges on the consolidated fend, from 2,319,6301. to 2,200,000/. ; miscellaneous ser vices from 3,561,0871. to 3,250 0004 ; charges of col. lecting the revenue from 3,903,5391. to 3,350,0004 ; other payments out of the tyres in their progress to the Exchequer, from 763,9261 to 710,0001. The total proposed saving he etat"s at 5,304,6141., of which 4,250,0001. is to be Effected by reducing the expendi ture on our defensive establistimmta. The four ordinary sources of revenue upon which Mr. M‘GREGoIt relies to raise the revenue required for his estimated expenditure are : —Castoms, Excise (under one office with stamps), Post-office, and crown lands. He would levy customs duties only on eight articles—tobacco, sugar (at present duties), dis tilled spirits (all kinds), wines (at duties adjusted for revenue), spices (all kinds), fruits (all kinds), tea (at Is. per lb.), silk marufacturos, and other articles of luxury (at an ad valorem duty). The revenue col lected by the combined excise and stamp boards, he would have raised upon spirits and malt, licenses, stamps, and legacy and probate duties. Its estimates the total return from customs, excise and stamps, Post-office, and crown lands, at 41,000,0001.. thew leaving a deficit of 11,000,0001. To raise this he would impose in lieu of the present tax of three per cent. upon all incomes, a " duty of five per cent, upon the rents or profits of all realised property, whether funded. htnales, lands, warehouses, docks, List India Stock. Bank Stock, and all stocks and shares what ever bought and sold in the market." Our object at present is to put our readers in pos. session of Mr. M'Cilitztion's budget, not to enter into a detailed appreciation of its merits. One or two remarks, however, which at once suggest themselves, may be hazarded. Mr. *GREGOR assumes that the utmost practi cable redaction in our naval, military, and ord nance expenditure, cannot exceed 4,250,000/. ; an d he lays down the Isw that the navy must be main tained in its present strength and efficiency, and the main reductions effected by "diminishing the amount paid oat of the revenue's of Great 13ritain for military and police purposes in Ireland." Tbere is but a slender hope of any real reducion in the expense of our defensive establishments by mere economies of detail and management, if the number of soldiers, sailors, and ships in commission is not to be materially re duced. The process by which it is proposed to save four millions and a quarter is this branch of the na tional expenditure is to, r. fined and complicated to warrant an expectation of uii practical results. The estimate of 41,000,0001. to be raised by ens toms, ( xcise, and stamps under the re-arrangement of those duties and establishments propo:q:d by Mr. M'CIREGOR cannot be relied upon. It proposes that the present duties upon sugars are to be retained; that a new and untried dist' ihation of wine duties is to produce a certain result ; and that the reduced tea duty is to produce a certain return. This estimate is pure-ly hypothetical. Lastly, Mr. M'GREGOIt expects en annual revenue of eleven millions to a duty of 5 per cent. on realised property. Of the fire millions and a half raised by the existing duty of 3 per cent. on property and income not more than four millions are paid upon realised property. If 3 per cent. on realised property only yield four millions, by what arithme tical process is the conclusion arrived at that 5 per cent. will yield eleven millions? Or by wnat magic is the parliament which refused to tax professional incomes at a lower rate than incomes from realised property, to be persuaded to exempt the former from taxation altogether ? GERMANY. PRUSSIA.—Our accounts from Berlin reach to the 28,h of December. It is positively asserted in well informed quarters that the government have resolved to fortify tne thirteen gates of Berlin without even waiting for the consent of the chambers. 'the plan has been already drawn up by a military and submitted to ministers. Another ex-deputy, Herr Rodbertus, has been ordered to qui' Berlin, and Baron von Reden, a member of the National Assembly in I Frankfort;has been dismissed from his post in the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, because he refused to sign the address in which the majority of the Prussian members of tha' assembly condemned the proceedings of Herr von Unruh and his partisans iu Berlin. In opposition to the democratic electoral committees, the conservative ones have b•sued circa lays urging their adherents to ask each candidate whether he acknowledges the validity of the new I constitution, and to reject him if he answer negatively. The Prince of Prussia has resumed his residence in Berlin, and the King is expected at Charlotteuburg on the 2nd inst. This palace is three-quarters of a German mile from the capital, and is consequently within the rayon of the state of siege. The French minister, M. Arago, will remaiu in his poet, so it is stated in diplomatic circles. Letters from Munster announce the arrest of Here Temme (the president or director of the sup! cme tri bunal of Westphalia), on account of the steps which he had taken to propagate the decision of his fellow de puties respecting the non-payment of the taxes. The Hanoverian chambers will not be convoked before the Ist of February. Notwithstanding the express law which declares that no member of the National Assembly can be called to account in any way for his proceedings in that house (a privilege confirmed even by the new constitution), ministers have just dismissed govern ment-assessor Bredt from his post of provincial coun cillor of the Elberfeld district, and has also forbidden him to take any part in the business of the govern ment board of Dusseldorf. These extreme measures have been resorted to by ministers avowedly on the ground that "on account of his conduct in the National Assembly it was not thought proper to continue hint in his post." AUSTRIA.—We have letters and journal' from Vienna under date Dec. 26. As usual the accounts from the seat of war are con tradictory. It is certain, however, that the account of the capture or surrender o f Rau b was premature, and it is even asserted by parties in Vienna that the imperialists experienced a signal defeat between that important town and Komorn, and were obliged to fall back on Wieselburg and Presburg. Reports were also current of a revolt among a portion of the imperial troops. On the other hand rumours like ithe foregoing have been officially denounced, and the authors threatened with punishment. Numbers of wounded continued to arrive in Vienna. The autho rities of that capital had issued a proclamation, Belting forth, that as the enemy make no stand, it is impossible to issue every day an army bulletin. It appears by the Journal ey . Austrian Lloyd's that the Magyars find time and opportunity, not withstanding the victories claimed by the imperial ists, to snake excursions from Hungary Proper into the northern parts of Moravia, and to carry off pri soners. The Olmiitz Correspondent admits that during the storming of Wieselburg, the imperialists, particularly the Croatians, suffered considerably. Reinforcements were continually arriving for the imperialists. According to the Vienna Presse, the Magyars have 100,000 regular troops and abun dance of arms. All the able-bodied male population of Penh is obliged to work three days a week in the entrenchments. In a proclamation, issued in Vienna on the evening of the 24th, it was stated that, according to intelli gence received from Altenburg, the head-quarters of Prince Windischgratz, the first and second army corps were posted ready for battle between Hoch strait; and Raab, and that the advanced guard had marched as far as Rabnitz without meeting the enemy. Col. Howath's corps had mewled towards Guns, in older to attack the flank of Ger.. Perezers column, which was endeavouring to effect a junction with the Magyars in Raab. The Pesth Gazette asserts that the Magyar troops are 150,000 strong, and are divided into the following army corps :—The first, or main army corps—the one opposed to Austria Proper-60,000 strong, with 100 11,1 d pieces, under General Gorgel; the second (act ing against Croatia and Styria), 17,000, with 24 pieces of cannon, under General Perczel ; the third (carrying on operations in Slavonia), 18,000, with 30 pieces of cannon, under General Illagoerich and Casimir liathyani; the fourth (lightit.g against the Serviane), 15,000, with 00 cannons, under General I
