TIIE fact, which we yesterday: announced, of the recall of Count ST. AULAIRE, is but too correct. No doubt is entertained of it, although no official intelli gence has arrived, nor have the usual notifications been made. This, the commonest mark of courtesy between government and government, between court and court, has been omitted on the present occasion. And Queen VicroniA is allowed to learn through common rumour, and from the reported conversations of the Countess of ST. AtLAIRE, the grave circumstance of the sudden recall of the French Ambassador from her court. This circumstance marks the recall to be a measure of vengeance or retaliation, for what we are at a loss to divine ; an act, decided upon and ordered ab irato, and a declaration on the part of the King of the FRENCH, that he will keep no terms with any English government which dares to question his right of disposing of the hand of the presumptive heiress to the Spanish throne. We arc not in possession of the exact causes of the pique of the King of the Fr.sseii. But we recollect perfectly that his Majesty has borne for a series of years a succession of slights and indignities from the court of St. Petersburg. These the King of the FRENCH has humbly pocketed, nay, keeps his ambassador, M. DE BARANTE, at St. Petersburg, whilst merely a Russian Charge d'Affaires remains at Paris. One of the orders of the Emperor NICROLAS forbade all noble Russians to attend the Court of the Tuileries. Even this did not prevent a French ambas sador bowing in the palace of St. Petersburg. It is rather hard and unfair, that the French King should thus display such patient humility towards the Czar who spurned him, whilst the Court and the Queen of ENGLAND, who cherished and protected the first years of the Orleans dynasty, and has been its faithful ally for fifteen years, should now be treated with something very like in solence; because, forsooth, England cannot approve of the Due de MONTPENSIER S marriage with the Infanta. _ _ There no im partial is • person who mast not admit that, in the recent events in Spain, England has been the tricked, the slighted, the maltreated party. Nevertheless, had our Foreign Minister gone so far in resenting this as to recall his ambassador, and proceed to diplomatic rupture, all parties hero would have blamed Lord PALMERSTON : and we should have been the first to censure him. Such a further aggra vation of wrong, thus wantonly made and inflicted by the offending party, is an act upon which English opinion will do justice. Thank God, in our day the personal piques or thwarted ambition of princes are not sufficient to involve nations in war or in serious quarrel. There exists at present no clash of interests, no cause of contest, between Englishmen and Frenchmen. If the court of the latter chooses to get up a little quarrel of etiquette and diplomacy on its own royal and private account, we must only allow its achievements and its progress to be recorded in the Curt Circu lar, and thus dismiss it from our minds and our anxieties. THERE is an old cry, "One law for the rich, and another for the poor . ' It is met by a denial that anj such invidious distinction exists in the laws of this . country. The clamourers are defied to point out tr.2tanco in Which equal justice is not meted out to peer and pema n t. A I,:, : ttin ct that, by the letter of o , ll f t lawt rich and poor are treated w; .4 unpar t i4ll+ T; there is au fink° absence of those odiinis privi leges and aii."&bilities Thick, though of the essence of feudalism, have disappeared from a system still largely impregnated with feudal elements ; there is yet too good ground for the complaints that for rich an:: poor there are different laws amongst us. In the nature of things it must be so, says the stern political economist. But may not the " nature of things " be modified? This is a question which rarely occurs to the rigid doctrinaire. When he has reached an appa rent law of society, he transfers to . it the fixedness of a mechanical or geometrical principle. He forgets that as oar human nature has moulded those laws on itself, with a modification of the nature must come an alteration of the law. His principle is the "leaden rule" of ARISTOTLE, which swap and sways with the inequalities of the surface to which it is applied. In the " nature of things," the poor of an artificial society are dumb and helpless. Their ignorance of the law, in itself, alters their relation to it. The rich man, if ignorant of law himself, can fee an attorney who knows it. He learns not to violate the law himself, and to recover penalties from those who vio late it with regard to him. The poor man is equally in the dark sato the vengeance and aidofthclaw.Hcknows not how sharp the sword of justice is until she smites him; and rarely learns the impartiality of her balance by seeing his own wrongs weighed against their legal compensations. There mast always be one law for the rich and another for the poor, while the two classes contemplate the law from the heights and depths of social life. But law itself may do much to diminish the distance which separates the two nations of rich and poor. She may , give the inarticulate mil lions a voice. She has already done so in cases of crime. All indictments aro laid in the name of the Queen. No matter how poor the victim or the mur derer, the law is sleepless in avenging the one, and punishing the other. But there is no similar activity to assert the poor man's rights to compensation for injuries received. This he must press himself or forfeit. There is the crown to prosecute the felon, but no public officer to urge those claims which the law has sanctioned, in the case of a man too ignorant, poor, or helpless, to urge them for himself. If he be dumb, the law will find no organ for him or his. Thus, the remedies which a legislature may give to the poor are, in most cases, mockeries. The sufferer does not know of them, or has not the means or time to recover them. They might as well, for all the good of them to him, be erased from the statute book, and the right to them confined to the rich in theory, as well as practice. Now and then a prosecuting power has been appointed, as in the Factones Act, for accidents arising from the use of unguarded machinery. But how useless the aid of the law may be in the poor mau's case, and how potent in that of the rich, our columns of Friday strikingly illustrate. A Mr. HavwooD recovers 3701. damages against a railway company for injuries inflicted, (as re ported in the Daily Fuca of Friday), through the carelessness of their servants, on the wife of the plaintiff, and expenses incurred by him in conse quence. Nothing could be more just. The injuries were severe and the penalty quite within reason. JAMES CASEY, a poor Irish mason, was killed last week by the fall of three houses at Brompton. On Thursday last we commented on the evidence produced at the inquest on his body. Those com ments were written before the second day's proceed ings were published ; but the inferences drawn in them from the evidence accessible at the time, were more than borne out by the verdict. This is tantamount in fact, though not in law, to a verdict of manslaughter against the builder, or the contractor under him, " for time and labour." Had JAMES CASEY been maimed instead of killed by the accident, he would certainly have had a good action for damages against either Holm Es the builder, or EMMENS his agent. But he is killed. The Daily News of Friday gives us the second act of the domestic tragedy. At the Hammersmith police office, • _ Mr. Madden introducel to the notice of the magistrate a young girl, neatly dressed in mourning, whom he said was Catheriue Casey, aged heeler years, and only child of the man Jones Casey, who was it by the fall of three 11011451,$ in .tlfced.pline, Old Brampton, on Thursday, the 12th instant. The yirt was precionuty motherless, aid by the unfortunate accident eras mote fatherless, and without a rea lite nr friend in the wort Since her father's death she had been token care of by Mr.. Bryon, a poor woman Briny in !mining's buildings, who was herself a recipient of parochial relief, whom he had 'Wetted Intake the girl to Messrs. Eihntent,thebuiblert,inickeese employ her father was, to see if they would hot do smoothing for her, but all they had done was to take her to a shop and give her a pair of shame. Ito had, therefore, brought her Defoe his worship to see It he could enable him to get her into some asylum, where elle would be taken care of and put out in the world. The poor girl appeared a quiet intelligent child, but quite broken down by the calamity which had befallen her, in the death of her only earthly protector.—Mr. Poynter commended the kindncia or the woman Bryan, who was present, and adrized Mr. Madden to try Manor-house Establishment, Fulham, which ho promised to do. The worthy inag.sßaite also ordered Mrs. Bryon Ss. from the court poor-box, which, he said, was in reality a "poor-box," being at the protect moment empty. We will not attempt to add anything to the deep, homely pathos of these facts. But now comes the question : If Mr. }Ltrwoon very properly receives 390!. for the injuries sustained by his wile, is poor orphan CATHERINE C.tsEY to receive no compensa tion for the loss of her father, her bread-winner, and only relative ? Can the law do nothing to compel Messrs. EMMENS to furnish something inure than the pair of shoes to which their pleasant charity prompted them ? We are glad to think that the law does provide a remedy in this case. But what does poor Mrs. BRYAN, the child's pauper protector, or the child herself, or her husband's comrades and friends, know of that? Mr. MADDEN himself, who de serves credit for his humanity, does not seem to dream of it, nor the magistrate, Mr. PAYNTER. Yet we believe there is legal aid for the helplessness of this poor child. By Lord CAMPBELL'S Death by Accidents' Com pensation Bill (9 and 11) Viet., c. 93), passed last session, it is enacted, in effect, that— - • • Whensoever the death of a person shall be causzd by such wrong ful act or default as would (if death had nut emitted) have entitled the party injured to maintain an action and recover damages, the penum who would have been liable, if death had not ensued, shall be liable in an action for da tt the suit the executor or administrator of the person deer , at.,l fur the benefit of the faruilyuf the taccaissl. Here, of course, there is no executor or adminis trator. Such personages have no part to play when there is no dying will to execute, and no property to administer. But any person, charitable enough to bring this most righteous action, may make himself administrator for the purpose. • It is for such cases as this that a public prosecutor is most obviously wanted. But every act which gives damages for wrong done to the poor and ignorant should contain the appointment of such an official organ for the dumb mouths of the millions. In the absence of this functionary, we would fain, in such cases as the present, see charity stepping forward in a work which we, from our hearts ' believe to be as free from risk of failure as it is just, humane and Christian. A LIST of the railway projects for next session, which have appeared in the London Gazette, was published in our paper of Saturday last. It is of a nature to re-assure the most apprehensive of those alarmists who look forward to nothing but national ruin from the extension of railway enterprise. Of the three hundred Scotch and English projects enume rated in that list, upwards of one hundred and twenty are avowedly promoted by companies with lines in actual operation, and paying dividends. The objects of this class are either the construction of branches for the accommodation of districts touched by the trunk lines ; or the incorporation (by lease, pur chase, or amalgamation) into the greater concerns of short lines, thereby converting them into branches ; or extensions of the main lines ; or the en largement of stations to meet the demands of an in creasing traffic; or deviations to improve lines con structed or constructing ; or explanations and amend ments of the confused and redundant phraseology characteristic of Acts of Parliament. In addition to these there are forty or fifty similar projects promoted by companies whose lines are only recently or not yet opened. Fifty more may be assumed to be projects of last session again brought forward, with more or less certainty of being taken up, if sanctioned by parliament, by , some of the great lines. The two-thirds of the ' whole number, thus accounted for, involve no very alarming amount of prospective expenditure : when sifted and winnowed by the legislature, they will be found to be no more than the natural and necessary extension of prosperous enterprises called for by , public wants. Of the remaining third it is difficult to form an opinion. With very few exceptions they arc mere appeals for a second hearing by rejected projects of last year ;—some of them promising enough ; others revived apparently more for the benefit of projectors and would-be officials than of share holders. From this review there is good reason to expect that the new Railway Board, which entered upon the discharge of its functions on the 9th inst., will not, in so lar a"; its *lt! k reill.“.sary with a view to legislation is concerned, find itself overtasked. And it is mainly in the discharge of this duty that such a board is calculated to be of service in developing our railway , system. Almost the only dis advantages under which railway enterprise labours in this country compared with the Continent, are the greater burden of taxation which presses upon English railways, the expensive process of transferring property in land, and the enormous amount of the preliminary expenses incurred before an act of incor poration can be obtained. Relief from the first mentioned, involving as it would of necessity a re vision of our whole system of local rates, we are more than halt InCllllea to rejetru an 119 PC L 1133 suna. from the second will require a searching law reform. Relief from the last we consider as one of the main ob jects for which the appointment of a special railway board was urged and acquiesced in. We at least should regard , with great apprehen sion any attempt to approximate to the so-called French or continental system to invest such a board with anything beyond general legislative and judicial powers. In simplifying , the mode of conducting the preliminary Inquiries, which must of necessity precede the concession of powers to construct a line, and the incorporation of a company to construct and work it ; and in diminishing the expense attendant upon these inquiries, a permanent railway board may be of great service. In watching the proceedings of railway companies, with a view to enforce the fulfilment of the obligations they have contracted to the public in return for privileges con ceded to them, it may also be useful. But any attempt to substitute the action of the central government for private enterprise in the construction of new or the extension of old lines of railway, or in the manage ment of them, would inevitably retard the extension of railways throughout the country, and the invention of improved methods of working them. It is the nature of the British people to do by private enter prise what less energetic and less self-dependent nations leave to their governments to do for them. The great majority of our colonies have been planted, our most im portant dependencies acquired by the associated efforts of private individuals. Oar commercial marine, our institutions for rendering navigation more secure, have been left in a great measure to private incorpo rations. Our towns and cities have been lighted with gas and supplied with water by the instrumentality of private companies. One half of the power of ad ministering justice has been conceded to our judges; the other has been reserved to their unofficial assist ants, the . jurymen. This is our English way of doing business. It would not be easy to teach us to do it otherwise, nor is the advantage at all obvious that would be derived from a change of system. There is more of energy and inventiveness in the enterprise of individuals than in the martinet dis , charge of routine duties by salaried officials. There is a larger range of experience in the emulous efforts of a number of companies who must earn their profits, than in mechanical compliance with pre scribed rules by parties who can draw ad libitum on 'the public treasury. This restriction of the field of government activity, and extension of the field of individual enterprise, is favourable to the development of energetic characters and national wealth and power. For these reasons we should re gret much to see any material change in the constitu tion and working of our English railway system; and on this account we hailed with satisfaction the ap pointment of Mr. STRUIT to the presidency of the new board, convinced that his sound practical judg ment and right English feeling afforded the best guarantee we could receive that it would not act in a mischievous spirit of overmeddling. The excitement raised by the Cracow spoliation affair continues unabated in Paris. The only leading journal which had kept silence and maintatued a re serve on the question, La Presse, raised its voice on Sunday. Notwithstanding the well-known leaning of this journal to the courts of the north, and more especially to Russia, the public feeling at home has proved too strong and too unanimous to allow it with prudence to present itself as an exception to the general voice of the press. At all events, be the moving cause what it may, this journal has come for ward with frankness, and with all its customary ability, and denounced the act of spoliation with as much indignation as the other ministerial journals. Having already, in our former correspondence, given examples of the tone and spirit adopted by the other Ministerial organs in Paris, we may add the following specimen from La Presse of Sunday : The three powers charged by the Congress of Vienna with protecting Cracow, have destroyed, as far as in them lies, the general act of the Congress, and it is not without reason that the „Valiona/ exclaims, with as much real joy as appa rent indignation, that the treaty of Vienna no longer exists, and that it opposes no obstacle to the progress of democracy. Yes—Europe has lost her international law; she is sur• rendered to the yoke of arbitrary will; for a treaty which does not bind all those who have signed it, binds none. If the treaty of Vienna is not obligatory on the Vistula, it is not more so on the Rhine. If Austria could seize Cracow yesterday, France may seize Landau and the other domains which have been taken from her, to morrow. Europe is again placed under the empire of force, and sovereignty henceforward belongs only to armies. As suredly if we were animated only by the glory of France, we also would applaud this art, which opens to us an era of re paration ; but we have before our eyes higher interests, and it is on that account that we deplore, more for their sakes than our own, the fault committed by the northern powers in this miserable affair of Cracow. What will he its con sequences ? We know not yet the intentions of the three powers; but assuredly Europe cannot remain si lent in the face of this violation of the pact upon which rests the entire body of public law. We said that it regarded England as much as France, but it regards in the same degree all the powers which have concurred in the general act of 1815; that is to say, France, England, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden. All these nations will, doubtless, protest, together or separately ; but what will be the result of these protestations, and what account will the three courts take of them, when they have taken no account of the faith of treaties ? What satisfaction will be obtained for this wretched people, the last vestige of whose nationality is thus destroyed ? In whom can they henceforth put their trust ? It is a case in which, for them and for us, we cannot but recal these fine words of Grotius, " Among nations God has reserved a tardy, hidden, inevitable, supreme jurisdiction; but he has meanwhile delegated two judges, who sit in the midst of human affairs, and from whom the most successful of culprits can never escape. These are the conscience of each person, and the opinion of all. These tribunals are open to those who are denied every other judge. It is to these that the oppressed appeal ; it is before these that those who conquer by force are subdued." Behold for these tribunals a new u case. _ _ _ The Journal des Dames devotes its leading column to a geographical and historical sketch of Cracow. The Opposition journals continue to incriminate the Cabinet for letting go the English alliance at a moment so critical ; and Le Siecic, in another masterly article, gives a bitter invective against the Guizot Cabinet for its retroactive policy in shrinking on every occasion from co-operating with England in the promotion of liberal measures, and for its base and grovelling subserviency in making advances to the absolute Courts, which were rejected with con temptuous insult and undissembled disdain. Cabinet Councils continued to be held dail7 at the Tuileries. On Saturday, the Dukes of Nemours, Aumale, and Montpensier, accompanied the Infant Don Enrique to a review in the Champ-de-Mars. The Infant was to have left Paris for Madrid on Monday. The `Bey of Tunis arrived oa Tuesday, 17th, at Lyons, and left on the 18th for Paris. His arrival was expected on Sunday. The palace of Elysee Bourbon was prepared for his reception. The Levant mail was received in Paris on Satur day evening, bringing advices from Constantinople of the 7th, and Athens of the 10th. These despatches contain nothing of interest. Late on Sunday evening it transpired in Paris that Count Mole had been called to the Tuileries by the King. It was proposed to accredit the Duke de Broglie on an extraordinary mission to London, to obtain from the court of St. James's a joint protest Against the late act of the northern courts. But that statesman being consulted, it was decided not to adopt this proceeding, bat to reserve the right of protesting separately. The Portefeuille (an official journal) of Sunday evening has an article on this subject which concludes as follows : _ _ " The King's government, while it abstains from a com mon protest with England, as appears to be resolved, against the act notified by the northern courts, is far from feeling itself isolated, or, above all, from being compelled to resume the passive policy of 1840. It is not the question of the east which is now to be resolved. It is an article of Congress which is assailed, and it is certain that on any new event menacing the peace of the world, Europe will place itself under the conditions of ancient treaties. France is too strong not to support the treaties of Vienna. They have deprived her of none of her influence. But whatever they may be for her, they are everything for the continent and for England. As to the violation of these treaties which has just been committed at Cracow, we believe that there will be occasion now leas for protests than for convening a new gollgreir," The report of a change of ministry 11158 credited in Paris, produced by the announcement that Count Mole had been sent for. The expression of public opinion in Germany on the Cracow affair is, of course, repressed by the absence of the freedom of the press generally in the German states. Nevertheless, the feeling of the people is apparent in the apologetic tone in winch the announcements are made, even by the official organs of the offending powers. We have selected from the German journals the following notices _ _ VIENXA, Nov. 15.—T0-morrow the definitive incorpora- .by the Imperial vsilanum"/ !Simon. specially ;minded wit h ..,. The' three powers will issue a manifesto to that effect, and the act of taking wesession was to be placarded on the walls of Cracow. — The Swabian Mercury, of the 19th, says it was with regret that Austria gave her consent to an incorporation of Cracow with her dominions, and only gave it on the conviction that the adoption of that serious step was an imperative necessity. In truth, a little reflection will show that the possession of an additional part of Poland is not a thing to be envied under existing circumstances. The division of Galicia into two parts will follow speedily. The Augsburg Gazette has the :allowing from the Russian frontier:—The two Germs powers re l uc t a ntly gave their consent to the incorionatlon of Cracow. Russia ins isted and declared that 'Ate C. the three powers must take possession of the rerwile. Russia said to the Austrian Cabinet, Which, istetaaing to treaties, had the right of taking possession, you or recti L on T o i r Gtarciear, the ehadtreafochrfeeryitedofththeerigrehptsubohcf minithndeeinspenudr: ent existence, and that it was ridiculous to 'peak of its r.tt- Monty or preservation. That those who defendei Polish nationality did not know what the word signified ; that the republic was the most violent enemy of the three powers, and that it was their duty, as well as their right, to defend themselves. As regarded the treaties concluded between the three powers on the eventual incorporation, it was only to be regretted that the incorporation had not taken place sooner; that much bloodshed and many disasters might have been thus avoided. As regarded the possession o Cracow it was in itself of slight importance ex cept in a military point of view. It would be requisite, in taking possession, to make great financial sacrifices, as Cracow was impoverished, and no compensation could be expected. That the defensive power of Germany rest its neighbours as of the east w thereby greatly stren coed, and that the act spoke well for the uprightness of t e Emperor Nicholas. The Austrian troops, who are to form the garrison, are already ou the territory of Cracow, and are to be reinforced by 3,000 men. The territory of Cracow covers a space of 21 square miles, with a population of 132,000 souls, of which 40,000 are of the city of Cracow. Gaticts..—The Receiver-general and Treasurer of the Kingdom of Poland has notified to the Imperial Austrian Chancery that in future Austrian subjects travelling iu Russian-Poland do not require the visa of the Russian ambassador or Russian consuls. The circular of June 20, 1844, is annulled. The territory of Cracow is now under going a trigonometrical survey by Lieutenant Poschacher, al the Staff, for the construction of a military map. Although this was kept as secret as possible, it nevertheless was soon communicated to the different districts. A letter from the Galician Frontier, dated Nov. 12, says; " Outhe 16th, Austria will take solemn possession of the City of Cracow • Count Stadion, as Imperial Conamissary, is appointed to ;ale formal possession. This news has caused a deep sensation among the nobles of Galicia." The Madrid journals and correspondence of the 16th were received in Paris on Sunday. They brought no intelligence of any interest, except a report, mentioned in a private letter, that it was considered almost certain in Madrid that the Queen was in a situation which would very speedily settle the dispute between England and France. M. Henderson had arrived at Madrid on the part of the Spanish bondholders, but had not yet had a conference with the Minister of Finance. The advices from Lisbon were not more recent than those already received in England. PARIS, Nov. 21. The intelligence of the attack on the independence of Cracow by the northern powers has created a profound sen sation here. Those leut occupied with politics have at once observed the consequences of this event, which involves a radical change in the existing rela.ions of Europe, and it is apparent that the treaties of 1815, destroyed by the very personages whose interest it was to maintain them, have ceased to exist. With a perspective of so revolutionary and little pacific a character opening before them, it is not surprising that the courage of speculators is shaken : the Three per Cents. have fallen 2 per cent. in a few days; all industrial values have ex perienced a depreciation more or leas important ; the finan cial world is in alarm, and a nearer view begins to be taken of the basis of all property. The political world is not less agitated. You can scarcely form an idea of the state of confusion into which the ministry is thrown. This darin g step has utterly disconcerted all the measures of M. Guizot : he sought for a support against England in the apparently newly-awakened sympathies of the north and east of Europe, and he finds only unstable ground which crumbles beneath him ; there is no longer a possibility of alliance on any side. France separated herself from Eng land for her own interests, and is separated from the abso lute powers by principle, and the government now finds the necessity of having a national and independent policy, an art, the secret of which it has long since lost. If the ministers had dared to do so, they would at once have effaced this attack on Cracow, as they have already done many others; of what import is it to M. Guizot and to M. Duchatel, those renegades to liberal ideas in France, that the liberty of other nations and rights conseeratedby solemn treaties should or should not ho respected ? But M. Guizot is bound by solemn declarations forced from bins by the opposition in the two chambers during the last session. He cannot do otherwi , e at the present juncture than protest against the act by which certain contracting parties con cerned in the treaty of Vienna have suppressed, contrary to sworn faith, the independence of Cracow, because ho has beforehand protested against it. It is hoped that the Minister for Foreign Affairs has, under the circumstances, expressed himself in the strongest manner to the Charge-d'Atfaires of Austria ; but that which would be still more significant, if any one, after the events of 1840, still believed in the firmness of Louis-Philippe, is that the king shows himself to be exceedingly irritated against the northern courts, and gives way to very violent expressions in his anger. It is very evident, even if the German papers did not make the avowal, that the absolute governments have speculated on the coolness which has arisen between France and England. They have flattered themselves that this dissen sion between two powers who represent the civilisation of the west, would secure impunity to themselves. The ques tion is now whether, in order to deceive their expectations, England and France will set their differ, aces aside. No one here doubts that M. Guizot and Lord Palmerston will both make a protest on the occasion, but it is also certain that the northern powers will take no account whatever of these protestations, as long as they are nut made in con cert by the two western powers, and until it appears what part each means to take in the affair. Tho moderate oppositionists are watching, with equal attention, the movements of both M. Guizot and Lord Pal merston. If the French minister shrinks before Austria and Russia, he will have a terrible account to render, and he will nut be able to resist the debates on the address. If the English minister refuse to employ all the influence of his government to maintain treaties, there will not be • single partisan in France of the alliance with England. The moment is therefore a critical one, and never were the two governments placed before in a similar necessity of sub mitting to, and even of anticipating, public opinion. It appears to me quite evident that the occurrences of the present moment offer a striking proof of the fact that the repose of Europe mainly depends on the amicable alliance of Great Britain and France. I know not if this alliance can he again possible ; but it is clear that without it there is neither liberty, security, nor repose fur the rest of Europe. O. ROME, Nov. H. We are in full progress here towards popular go vernment. One of the most significant tokens of the new era was exhibited yesterday, when EIGHT HUNDRED Roman citizens assembled in a public banquet to greet the political exiles of the provinces under the magnificent roof of the Aliberti Theatre, thousands of spectators crowding the boxes, and not a " policeman " to be seen of any sort. This demonstration was got up at a few days' notice. The committee consisted of men of the middle class—an order of mankind never yet heard of in Roman affairs. Their names deserve record: they were, Orioli, eon of the exiled pro fessor (who has returned from Corfu to his native university of Bologna); Naftali, a bookseller; Delfrate, an artist; Thomasson, a "man of letters;" and De Andreis, a printer. The guests were gathered on an Elevated platform; the committee presiding for this popular banquet presented the peculiarity of the president's chair being " put in commis sion ;" when, after discussing the viands with Italian gravity and sobriety, the business of the evening began. Chcche telli, a well-known and voluminous writer, appeared for the first time in the character of a speaker, and in a graceful oration bespoke the moderation of his hearers in the enjoy ment of their newly-recovered liberty of thought and action; so would they best defeat any scheme for rolling backwards the now happy onward tide of Roman freedom. Next rose Professor Sejani, an exile lately returned from Malts, the author of many tragedies, and implicated in not a few con spiracies ; on him devolved the task of proposing the health of Pius IX., a colossal bust of the monarch being forthwith borne forward and crowned with laurel amid the loud voci ferations of the whole theatre. Sejani's speech was energetic and clever,and drew dawn thunders of applause. After him a distinguished medical light of our university here, Dr. De Dominion, whose brother lately died in prison for political causes, made a most affecting appeal to his fellow-citizens, and was listened to with intense interest ; he dwelt on the necessity of not thwarting the present Pope with an unrea sonable eagerness for change, not one in that assembly being more anxious to accelerate beneficial measures than the pon tiff, to whom alone were known the obstacles to be encoun tered and the difficulties to be overcome. Storbini, late exile from Marseilles, followed in prose for a while, till, kindling with his subject, he burst forth into poetry, or a kind of 'measured recitative, in the chorus of which the whole assembly, as if whirled into a vortex of extasy, soon joined. The evening would have passed off with undisturbed re gularity were it not for an incident which may !cave the germ of much future ill-will and mistrust. I said before that the middle classes of Rome, hitherto a totally unrecog nised body, were the originators of this festival. About a dozen tickets had been taken by members of the Casino dei Nobili, and their places kept until an advanced hour, when others were but too happy to fill up the vacancy their absence created. A buzz of inquiry ran through the theatre as to the cause of their non-appearance, when it tran spired that Prince Borghese was entertaining that night a distinguished circle at the palace, and had pressed all his acquaintances into the service. This was, of course, deemed an aggravation of the offence, and construed into a premeditated slight on the popular feel ings, and on the Pope himself ; whereupon, a t th e c l ose o f the proceedings, several hundreds of the younger and more of the facade in honour of rio IA., •'./.lolf4piOrt : ;Unit fuori ! viva Pio nono !" Instead of complying with which demand, and thus restoring good humour, the inmates of the palace began to close the window shutters, when a storm of popular execration assailed Borghese and his guests, hisses and groans of an unmistakeable character. The Prince was proceeding to address the mob from the balcony, when, luckily for himself, be was drawn back by Vincenzo Co lonna ; and some of the graver and more thoughtful citizen*, arriving from the banquet - WI , pr evailed on the irritated crowd to withdraw for the present, convinced that the nobles of the casino and their host would offer every apology to-day. this how .s rapidl proceeding Lieut. Waghom (ace iterum) is just come' on o t from his Luznroni.

We should heartily con gratulate the young Prince, if it was only . v. question of a little family quarrel ; in such cases respect is always due to the pareat. But the Duke of Seville had fur a moment the weakness to take a part in polities, and as he pronounced himself in favour of Liberal ideas, he acquired at once, and without difficulty, a great popularity at the other side of the mountains. It is a pity, a great pity, that the young Prince cannot find favour at Paris or at Madrid, unless by belieing himself and abjuring steps, which certes did not announce so speedy a recantation.' ITALY.—A papal decree has renewed an ordon nance of 1732, which declared Ancona and Sinige,glia free ports. EntrepOta are to be established at both places. SWITZERLAND.—The Zurich Gazette asserts that a Prince of Schwarzenburg, a colonel in the Austrian army, was staying at Lucerne up to the 18th inst. He was the object of marked attention on the part of the authori ties. It is stated also in the same journal that he had visited Lucerne twice before, but under different names. If those statements be true, it is not unlikely that Austria, which re cently exerted its influence with the Grisons in order to induce that canton to withhold its vote from the liberals, is quietly concerting measures with the conservative govern ment of Lucerne. It is well known tat Siegwart the late head of the Helvetic confederation, and the present Saialtheise of the latter canton, enjoys considerable influ ence with the court of Vienna. The elections on the 15th, for the Basle Council of Government, have returned 22 liberals and 8 conservatives. 11OLLAND.—THE HAGUE, Nov. 20.—A grand soirée was given yesterday evening by the English Ambassa dor, in honour of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia. Baron Schimmel-penninrk, the newly appointed minister plenipotentiary of toe Netherlands at the court of St. James's, arrived here yesterday. The number of births at Amsterdam, from the 16th to the 21st inst. exclusive, was 157; of deaths, 258; and of marriages, 40. Since Jan. 1, 1846, there were 7,076 births, 7,373 deaths, and 1,783 mar riages. The ship arrivals at the Texel on the 20th, were the V Catharine, the riends.hap, the Fame, the liarmina, the M. Gesina, and the Mary and Ann, from London ; the Sieke von der West, and the Alma Agatha, from Liverpool- the William, from Sunderland; the Mina, the Marie, and. the Nijverdael, from Hull ; and the Coral, from Ipswich. The arrivals at Ilelveetaluvs, on the 21st, were the Eliza and Susan, the Ceres, and the Ida Cornelia, from Liverpool ; the Swallow, from Swansea ; the Hope, from Yarmouth ; the Goode Hoop, from Cardiff. GERIIANY.—VIENNA, Nov. 14.—The astounding news of the incorporation of Cracow with our monarchy caused, at the first moment, au extraordinary sensation ; while some call it a melancholy . legacy of the revo lution of the nobles, others rejoice at it, for the interest of Cracow itself, which being henceforth united with so great a state, will consequently parti cipate in all the blessings of commerce and manufac ture, which are now so rapidly advancing. But the ex change was at fiet so alarmed that a deputation of mer chants waited en the Piesident of tae Finance De partment, to ascertain from his own mouth, the assurance that the measure resolved upon was taken in concert with Russia and Prussia, and hail been found indispensably necessary to conselidete the tranquillity of Galicia and all Poland, and that the happiest results might be expected from it. The excitement in the diplomatic circles seems to have been even still far greater. The news is supposed to have been very unwelcome to Lord Ponsonby. Nov. 15. —We expect every hour the imperial declaration for the incorporation of the republic of Cracow with the Austrian empire. itespectiag the future existence of the city of Cracow itself, the Austrian government has presided as well as possible. Cracow is to be the capital of the uew created government of West Galicia, while Lemburg remains, as capital of the kingdom of Galicia, the scat of government of East Galicia. The circles of Bochnia Rzeszois and Joslaw will belong to West Galicia. In this new capital of West Galicia there will be a civil and military governor, a commander of the place, &c. &c. Our public, usually so indifferent, is extremely anxious respecting the imperial de claration, every body is curious to see how it will be drawn up. The evening before yesterday, the Duchess of Bordeaux, who was married at Modena by eroxy, arrived in Bruck, whither the Archdukes Ferdinand, Max e and Ferdinand Charles of Este, uncles and brother of the Princess, had gone from Vienna. Yesterday the marriage, with the Duke in person, was solemnised, after which, their Royal Highnesses proceeded to Frohsdorf. Except the family of Von Este, none of the reigning Imperial family appeared at Bruck. The marriage of the younger Archduchess of Modena to the Spanish lufiuit Don Juan, is to take place in March next. BERLIN, Nov. 16.—According to the War:hurt, Zeitung, the Court of Berlin had been informed that the Emperor Nicholas has given his consent to the marriage of the Grand Prince Constantine with the Princess Alexandra of Saxe Altenburg. The above journal adds that the mar riage will not take place before the expiration of two years, and that, previously to the ceremony, the Princess will be prepared for entering the Greek church. It appears, by a paragraph in the Magdeburg Zatung that several members of the ducal house of-Holstein were in Berlin on the IGth inst., and that the Prussian takes a German view of the succession question in the Danish duchies. An individual has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment for having addressed a letter to the King, in which he falsely asserted that he had overheard three persons conspiring to assassinate his Majesty.—The government is still receiving petitions from various towns in the Rhenish provinces relative to the alleged injury done to the Zollverein by the recently con cluded treaty of commerce and navigation between Holland and Belgium. The commercial treaty between I'russia and Sardinia has been concluded, and the one with Naples is on the eve of ratification. Negotiations will be shortly opened with the American free state., and with the principalities on the Danube. Nov. 16.—The assembly of several directors of Prussian railways, which has the laudable object of obtain ing greater uniformity in respect to the construction of all the Prussian railways, may be hailed as a happy announce ment of eager desire of improvement. We will hope that this assembly may be the precursor of a more extensive one, including the directors of all the railways in Germany. Nov. 17.--It has been reported in the newspapers that Dr. Liebell, implicated in the proceedings against the Poles, has been released, which we can positively affirm is not the case. It cannot yet be decided when the preliminary proceedings will be terminated, but it seems that it cannot be expected before Christmas. A professor in Berlin has lately published a work concerning the right of the royal family of Prussia to the succession to the duchies of Schleswick and Holstein. It is probable that the work in question grounds the pretensions of the King of Prussia on the double marriage contracted about the middle of the 16th century between some mem bers of the family of the electors of Brandenburg and certain princesses of Holstein. HAMBURG, Nov. 18.—Thc number of ships of all nations that passed the Sound in the month of October, 1846, was—From the North Sea, 944 ; from the Baltic, 1,296; total, 2,240. Of these the English were—From the North Sea, 203 ; from the Baltic, 426 ; total, 629. ACCIDENT ON THE WURTEMBERG RAILWAY.— An accident, happily without loss of life, occurred on the Stuttgard railway on the 15th inst. As the train which left Stuttgard at 2 P.M. was approaching the Cronstadt station, two of the wheels and axle of a luggage van, placed between the tender and a passenger carriage, flew off, and buried themselves in the earth. The accident occasioned a delay of three quarters of an hour. Another accident took place the same evening near Zuffenhausen, but no; attended with any evil consequences. WEIMAR, Nov. 10.—Divine service was per formed at Weimar on the 9th instant, by John Ronge, to a congregation of more than 800 German Catholics. He alluded in his oration to the establishment of a universal German church, which the progress of the age called for. DENMARK.—COPENHAGEN, Nov. 14.—The Ber ling'sche Zeitunp, and other Danish journals, announce with deep regret the death of the celebrated Swedish poet, Bishop Esaras Tegner, author of " Frithjof," " Axel," &c., &c. SCHLESWIG AND HOLSTEIN—The note addressed by the Cabinet of St. James's to Lord Westmoreland, British ambassador to the court of Berlin, and to the other British ministers, relative to the question of the duchies, proves that England feels a greater sympathy for the interests of Germany. This fact is important, says the Frankfort Gazette, as it proves what allies England desires under existing circumstances. The news of a dissolution of the states of Schleswig has not been confirmed. At St. Tchoe the government ordered the archives of the states to be forced open, to ascertain the names of the persons who signed the Neumunster address. RUSSIA.—PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.—RUSSia is collecting a large army in Podolia, on the frontiers of Wal lacia. It is said that this army is destined for Cirmsaia, but it is known that it is not. Its strength is said to be 150,000 men, and is probably 80,000 men. The real object, it is thought here, of this formidable force is, if the occasion presents itself, and the approaching elections are likely to , afford one, to invade Wallachia. THE BLACK SEA.—A letter from Courrlietan announces that a general massacre of the Nestorian' had taken place by the Curdes of Dachesvire, as far as the Halt kiam mountains. The massacre was ordered by Bader-khan, who swore by his beard not to spare a single Christian within his domains. The Patriarch of the Nestorian had fled from Dschul•Amerk to l*lossoul.
