Taw Dstr—Mershey Sta--..—Aftsroses. 111 TIMIOMMOW—IIersIag, 71 42m. Alterasso. IRa. LONDON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 28. Ting Prussian monarch's speech la no doubt war- Mks, but we mistake much if it be not the ontrary of war causing. Defiant as it is to Austria, and con tent to the soi-disant Band of Frankfort, it lly avoids whatever might give offset., to Roa ds. Tb• heir to the Electorate of Huse, it is well known, is a eon-in-law of the Russian Burrion, and was one of the princes at Warsaw. To have prejudged In the speech the constitutional question of Huse, 1 Would have been a defiance to Russia as well as A ,Titria, and would not have been ventured unless ' there were no hopes of the court of Berlin remaining on a good C.l.tntandieg with that of St. Petersburg. The speech evidently does sot abandon that hope, and the framers of the rota speech must have had some reason to oonnt upon it. The fact of the calling out of the landwehr hes 'saved Prussia not only from humiliation, but from being drugged back into despotism. The chief aim of the exits was to force back Prussia into the old absolutist and Holy AUiance of Russia, Austria, and Frani& After die trial of all kinds of cajolery, znanceuvres, and delay, it was resolved to apply inti midation, and to stretch it to an extreme point. The weakness of Count BRANDENBURG, and the assurance which he eve of his power over the Kum, led the two Emperors to suppose that FREDERICK WILLIAM mast yield, if duly pressed. Hence the imperious terms brought back by the Count from Warsaw, together with the aggressive acts and in solent language of Austria. The combined intimida tion was completely successful. On the 3rd of No vember every demand wu yielded at Berlin, and RAuowrrs, who recommended the arming of the land wehr, dismissed. At the critical moment, the advance tithe Bavarians into Hesse, and fresh Insolence on the part of BCIEWAREENBERG, overcame the monarch's patience or awoke hie pride, and the grand step was taken. The lacdwehr was called out, and from that moment the scheme of overcoming Prussia by intimi- dation failed. The nation owe summoned to arms, its generals surrounding the KIN°, and informing him or the spirit and sentiments of the army, their spirit and ontionents ►choed by the leading morn of the parlia ment, it became evident that Prussia could not yield. And, before that evidence, the actual intimidators, Russia and Austria, have shrunk back. In fact this bullying produced the very contrary result of what was intended. For inotead of absorbing Prussia ones wore into the alliance of absolutism, it nearly drove her into the arms and alliance of the constitutional powers. If Ramie and Austria make serious war on Prussia, the latter must, it is evident, ham recourse to France and to England. The case was foreseen, and the trick of the Dindou Protocol got up for the very purpose of estranging Prussia from those powers. Bet all three, that is, France, Ragland, and Prussia, saw through the flimsy trick; and the Russian court had evidence that it was seen through. People talk of the Russianism of LOUIS NAPOLZON ; but it is plain as the noonday, that it is at any time is the power of Prussia tooffer to Prance that price for her alliance and support, that no French minister or monarch could refuse. England, indeed, has no eel- Ash or ambitious desire in Germany, bat it tissle that all constitutional governments in Eel Me are its natural allies, and all despot's governments its inevitable foes. In the event, therefore, of Autria and Russia going to the extreme of actual military aggression upon Prussia, the latter may be sure of securing the material sup. port of France and the moral support of &gland. Before such • contingency Russia has, if we are not misinformed, drawn beck in affright, and orders its bullying serf, Austria, to do the same. We liberals have to congratulate ourselves that Pram*, instead of being absorbed into the new Holy Alliance. Me stood independent, constitutional, and free. Bet at the same time it has not been obliged to go the length of throwing itself in to the alliance and the politics of the West. It remains a middle term, a half-way house between the two. The Prussian coati will still show mistrust of its constitutional party, will still, so doubt, seek to gratify Russia in any of her not too exorbitant denude. And on the great German, as well as on the Hessian and Holstein, goestions, we shall find the Prussian ministry not yielding more than will suit its own interests, and will content the formidable spirit of the army and of parliament. Such we take to be the state of things in Prussia; one which, if we rum aright, precludes all idea of war—one which will be far from giving fall satisfac tion to either German or Prussian liberals and con stitutionalists—one from which retrograde. and reap teals* will derive still some hope, and extract some concessions. Bat, on the whole, it is one which we, distant, though interested contemplators of German struggles have a great many reasons to be rejoiced at. Prussia remains a great constitutional and independent country, untarnished in her honour, nnhumbled in her power. However restricted her prin ciple of freedom, and narrow !lir constitution, it is still an ample and safe cradle for infant liberty to grow in. A parliament, a public opinion, a press, and an armed nation taking part in, and ioduerncisg the decisions of government—th as are immense and important facts, when we consider that they take place on the Oder and the Elbe. The chief honour of this we must confess to con sider owing to RADOWITZ. It is his advice that pre vailed, an advice that fall from his mouth. when none other had the courage to give it. The calling forth of the landwehr has saved Prussia from subjection and disgrace, and has t laced • barrier against the mounting tide of absolutism, which it has hien corn. imjto respect, and against which its fury is and for a time be still vented in vain and furious im precations. Sacral., by divine providence, bishop of Oxford, superseding and ignoring, after his peculiar fashion, the authonty end jurisdiction of his metropolitan archbishop and the primate of the chunk, just as the Porn ha superseded and ignored the authority and jurisdiction of the said SAMUeL, has, in the name and on behalf of the church, solemnly protested against that bingos of the papacy which he, the said &mom, , sad his brothers, have certainly WOO as much, pro ' bably more, to invite and encourage as any three men be the Queen's realm.

The papal Wedeln Is not to be repelled by the produe tion of an unbroken descent for our clergy from apos tolic times. Cardinal Wanuat is not to be answered by telling him that already there is a catholic, church is England. The flowing_tide of Roman dominion is driven back by - Dr. Wei sza.roaca and his resolving that they an the true Simon Puree. Zit is what the Bishop of Oleo= did on Friday ; thnith,thedthat they were not as those publicans and emu, who see in such a line of defenct internal slimier, if not internal treachery, and who recollect that it was out of that armoury Father Navntam plucked the weapon with which, breaking through the bul warks of protestantiam, he found himself at once in the Roman comp. Though tractarianism leads honest and consistent men to Rome ' it means no such thins when held and maintained by ambitious prelates and weak eccle siastic., it is a surrender of the church of England to Rome. What it aims at in each hands is, the con version of the English into a popish church; not, however, by its recognition of, or subjugation to, the Pope; but by creating in its own episcopacy aid clergy authority and power over the persons, the consciences, and the cadent of the laity such as the Rona church and clergy exercise ever Roman catholic,. And tart of this scheme of the tractarians is to throw the sanctity of primi tive Christianity over the modern church of England W treeing its dement as a church up to the early and more orthodox Fathers • to bestow on its priesthood that authority and tho se powers which, in the first three eateries, was given to great and holy men as the Malta of converting a Pagan world ; an d to insist on its having . in the 19th century, in a country where Christianity is part of the law of the land, that axle• sienna orgarneatioe which communities of Christine massed op and down a heathen empire gave to their elhatebes b protect their perms from Pagan pun eaters and their doctrines from Pagan philosophy. Reed the Oxford protest, and then, of all decu ssate that have been recently published, this design Issetnes test palpable. There the church of Eng lasthibeaild at the Reformation, is made to be part sad passe% net of doctrines, for doctrines are not di tsdtly relined to, but of an organisation of some church whose antiquity is so greet that its origin cannot be fixed; there the "church" is made to be something pre-eminent, anterior, and superior to the " realist r its rights are there set forth as something higher and better and more binding than the laws of the land ; there allegiance to the church is claimed from every inhabitant of the reentry anomething it is irreligious to withhold ; that. the aggression of Rams is de scribed as being against a lawful ministry selely, and an against strudel sovereign as well ; there the 00f• rapt doctrines and pumices of the Banish comma ' non are condemned as in violation, not of the renta -1 tins of holy scripture, but as being l contrary " to the .thignset of the church universal ; there antiquity is set tip to be worshipped because by its worship power would be conferred on the clergy, and the reformation is depreciated because it established the rights of in dividual conscience and judgment. Now at a time when the laity have risen as one man to resist PIO NOPIO'S aggression and Cardinal WIBLYANII presumption, it is well that they should ask themselves, Is it to establish such a system as this that Rome is to be repelled ? Is the nation that has enrage to drive back the great apinacv of Rome weak enough to submit to the Popety of Oxford ? If it he not, there are other persona whose ambition mad be curbed besides that of the Cardinal Priest of Weebainster. The cabinet has already instructed the Artowsze- deirazat, it it said, to prepare a bill for the °onside ration of parliament, to inhibit the assumption by Amish oxlesisstios under the authority of a foreign prince, of episcopal titles derived from the towns or soil of their sovereign's dominions ; and by such a mea sure the government will vindicate the prerogatives of the crown and the independence of the country. But the question now opened is not one that legate- Perliememts, or governments can close. The little that they on do will be done. But, that mote -1 pinned, the duty of the wintry commences ; and it Is to pluck from their own church the mote which offends and irritates them in another church; and to reform that church, itieplsonpacy, and clergy, to suit as age ia which new and brighter prospects are open ing open the world. —seed 11114thalthilifikaMffin - tristiathe l it - i l e tes..-.. and Meat IR.

It was proved yesterday that the most emphatic pictures which an be drawn of human torture may be received in a legislative assembly with shouts of laughter. It matters little whether such a mode of receiving smiths statements be traceable to callous iakusanity or shallow incredulity. The effect re mise the same.

Instead of a com mittee of inquiry being appointed the house passes by an immense majority to the pure and simple aria of the day. The ministers have expressed to the committee on their budget their intention to adhere to the arrange meets proposed by them and accepted by the copa -1 mitts*, relative to the Paris and Avignon railway, and desire that the bill should be plead as soon act possible on the order of the day. In the meantime they wish the committee to propose to the assembly to vote the credits necessary for commencing the works of the section from Valence to Avignon. A letter from the Duke de Nemonrs to M. Glint is much talked of, as being a sort of manifesto of the Orleans branch. It is thought that it will be pub lished. The legitimist meeting on Friday night in the Rue de Itiveli was of importance in being the first serious political demonstration of this party since the con ferences of Wiesbaden and the issue of the Barth& lemy circular. The tone of the leading speeches de livered betokens the adoption of; a hostile policy both as regards the President and the Orleanicts, which will be productive of great embarrass ment in the coming session. The main object of the legitimists being to prevent that on eolidation of the government, which they pretend can only be achieved by the throne of Henri V., it follows that their parliamentary tactics must be of • haloes and obstructive kind. Under the prates°. of opposing the regency or the empire, they will thither vote the proloogation of the President's powers, nor the increased dotation, nor the law of mayors. Such was the counsel of M. Nettement. The epee of M. Fallon: was still more decisive in urging all resist. sacs to the establishment of what he termed • bastard monarchy, which he said would be the rain of France and the end of the world. MONDAT EVENING. To-day the Assembly met in the bureaux to ap point a committee on the bill presented by the Mints ter of War, which opens an extraordinary credit of 10,400,000 fr. for covering the expenses of the new levy of 40,000 soldiers. Generally, the conservative 1 oeakers condemned the warlike tone of the King of Prussia's speech, and wanted fresh guarantees from the French government fcr the maintenance of that strict neutrality which is promised in the President's message. The following members were chosen on the committee : —MM. Molt, Bedean, Placatory, Gus tave de Beaumont, de Rerousat, de Montebello, de Mornay, Lacrosse, General Ondinot, Dare, de Coe cells', Dufour, &wryer, de Montalembert, de Dal matia. All these mem bers belong to the majority, and nearly all to the °demist party. The members arrived early to take part in the de- bate of the bureaux, which was very animated. There was a disposition on the part of the legitimists to ac cess the Blysee of an arriere-pensis in favour or Prussia. The Left condemned the levy of 40,000 men as intended to menace the German democracy. Categoric explanations were demanded from the go vernment by the members of the majority, to which the ministers replied that it was the sincere intention of the government to adhere strictly to the neutrality professed in the message in the Germain affairs. If, in consequence of a change of ministry, any deviation from this neutral policy should take place, that all in tervention favourable at least to Prisms would be re solutely opposed by the Assembly, clearly appears from the tone of this debate in the bureaux. The mem bers of the committee are charged to express opinions consonant with these determinations in their report. MM. Mole and &wryer, and other leaders of the majority, insisted strongly upon the necessity that the Committee should dwell upon the pledge given is the message to observe the strictest neutrality in the affairs of Germany. M. Berrye: added that it would be necessary to examine whether there would be troops enough to occupy the interior of Freese sea defend the east frontier spied all attacks.

The Giornale di Roma, of the 16th, contains an elaborate reply to the polemics in the English papers on the subject of the Pope's ball. It tells its readers that the government has not given ear to the "furious tempest • raised by the papers against the papal brief which restores the cetholio hierarey in England ; that it has remained calm in the midst of meetings, circulars, and addresses, and that it will not yield to petitions and questions in parliament. It asserts that the law of the land has been respected, and denies the assertion that the brief is a negation of the spiritual power of the Queen. "The English catholic subjects , ' adds, " have never acknowledged that power, and those who daily embrace catholicism deny it formally. And yet theme subjects, who are now depicted as rebels, are, on the contrary, excellent citizens in the eyes of the government itself. If it be so, and if the Esgltsh catholios are to enjoy the same rights as their countrymen, it is clear that the brief has not attacked the spiritual authority of the chief of the state, sines the oatholics do not acknow ledge it." It farther contends that the new territorial division established by the brief is not contrary to the Emancipation Act, and that the Whelks are protected by that act, while Methodists and other dissenters ere merely tolerated. It concludes with a hops that par liament will take no serious notioa of the matter, and look upon it as an affair of etiquette. The Perron' Garotte states, that a few incendiary placards having been posted up at Voghers and Cop min, in the promos of Ferrara, denouncing the new law establishuig a tax on trades and professions, the police has discovered the culprit, who is a mere child, that had been induced to commit the act by some elle mica of order, to whom a severe bastinado has been dministered by order of the authorities.

SPAIN. MADRID. Nov. 19. The sitting of yesterday in the Chamber of Depu ties was one of the most interesting ones that have yet takes place, on account of the unexpected oppo sition offered to the government by the celebrated Daewoo Cortes. I mentioned to you some weeks ago that this mystical writer had made known hie inten tion of opposing the corrupt anglaise:Mime of the present government, bat it has been siege thought that, discouraged by the complete disoonifiture of the opposition eandidatee, be would defer showing his hostile intentions to a later period. Yesterday there was a tolerably fall house, for the elestios committee bad for the first time to present an unfavourable re• pert eoneerniag an election he which the scandal wee too open even for them to pens ever.

BERLIN, Nov. 22. The speech froth tits throne has created a very mixed sensation. The first impression made by it the public mind was decidedly favourable; the o have been by the acts of the ministry told to - war, and the dubious wording of the latter paragraphs of the speech was held to infer an intim .to maintain a firm front against Austria. Calm 1111ortiOn Oil a night's sleep, have done much to SIMON the first impression. The general feeling to ting is, that it, is a most unsatisfactory document in Geis pints on which the public desire information dad certainty, and most injudicious on other points which all, deas should be buried in oblivion. The 1 quoin et puce or war is passed over with an ap point abet to lead the public to believe that the at titude of armed defense which Prussia hu assumed since the Bth inst. will procure for the country that position to which the king and the government con ger her entitled, or that the sword will be drawn to obtain it by force. Not the slightest allusion is made to the onoessions which Prussia hu been called on to make, and many of which she has made almost with out a murmur. The Warsaw conferences, and the secret negociations which have been carrying on with Vienna, and which are now believed to have re ignited in a temporary understanding, are not men tioned, and the public are only told what they have learnt in a more effectual manner from the ministerial orders, and the columns of the Berlin newspapers. On the other hand, the lamentable attempt of a mad man on the life of the king, which was in June last made the ground for imposing the most grinding re strictions on the newspaper press, is alluded to in terms ill-judged at any time, but more so at a moment like the present, when, as the royal speech itself stye, all parties have mulched, and one generous enthu siasm for Prussia pervades the whole nation. These is but one opinion en these paragraphs of the wised.' They are universally underage& '• The wheat epee* . is a curious document ; it bears innate evidence Of Paving been the work of several hands. Tne first six pliegraphe are drawn up with a red-tallish precision sad formality of expression clearly derived from the bureaucratic pen of the Minister of the Interior. The ' two following are more in the style of the speech with which the Estates General were opened in 1847, which was the King's own production. Then follows Herr von Menteliffa again with other internal matters. The Minister of Finance puts in a para graph respecting income and expenditure, which is deeply interesting to the taxpayers, and then there comes a series of paragraphs which contain the real gist of the speech. These have apparently been altered by different hands, words and sentences introduced here and there which were not originally intended, until the whole has assumed the appearance of a piece of literary patchwork. The impression which it has made upon the several political parties is very mixed. Both chambers met this morning. The second chamber resolved on appointing a committee, to draw up an address to the King, in answer to the speech from the throne. In the upper chamber, Cruntßitt berg was elected president, and in the lower, Count Schwerin. The latter, on assuming his office, treated the chsmber to a warlike speech, a report of which will be found below. The proceedings of the chamber were in other respects formal, and of no importance. The Deutsche Reform announces that the equip ment of the landwehr of the first class is complete, and that the second class will be under arms and equipped by the end of the month. The provincial papers continue to bring long details of the enthusiasm and readiness with which the orders of the govern ment are obeyed. The Garde du Corps, which i s l under the command of the Prince of Prussia, is to leave Berlin shortly. The prince has recently addressed an order to the regiment, praising their condition very highly, and expressing his cuoviction that every man in it will be ready to defend the honour of his coun try. The field poet has been arranged for the whole army, the military baking establishments have also been put to rights ; the commissariat has been placed on a war footing, and every step taken to pro vide for the wants of the army. A ministerial order is expected, prohibiting the exportation of horses and cattle. The publication of the King's private letter to Herr von Radowitz his created an enormous sensation. His Majesty is said to be highly incensed at this 1 breach of confidence. The effect of the King's speech on the funds has not been beneficial. Prices have neither risen nor fallen ; railway share s have gone down considerably. Favourable explanations, says %loner, have been received from Baden. PROCEEDINGS IN THE Cli The first chamber met at ten o'clock this morning. President (by seniority) Fonk officiated. The minis ter of justice sat alone at the ministerial table. 143 members were present. The sessional orders of last year were adopted, and a committee appointed to consider all motions refer ring to them. The chamber then proceeded to the election of a president. Count Rittberg was chosen by 85 votes in opposition to Cemphausen (junior), Count Alvens• lebee, and Count Izenplits. Colet Rittberg having taken the chair, addressed the chamber. He thanked the chamber for their con fidence, and requested their support and indulgence. Having thanked the seniority president for the midi nen with which he had undertaken the temporary duties, the president proceeded : I have ethers to thank also ; I mean our brothers and our ism, The *natty ia in daager, and oar leader ha sum :ri** people to arms. They have answered to the call pairlotic feeling and true seal. Their country is to them above all eke. We, who coma from th e different pro- Tunes, as testify to their? readinem. The court over which I preside has lost so many officials through the ;mobilisation of the army, that I have been obliged to reclaim several, who have retuned unwillingly and sorrowfully. This readiness of sacrifice is our sheet author in times of difilculty, sad so long as this spirit shall exist, and it will exist, for it is founded on the high morality of the people, the country need sot be hopeless. Gratitude and acknowledgment, thug fore, are due to the sons of the country. Gratitude nod acknowledgment to the landwehr. Gratitude and ackaow lodgment to the army. Kay it please you, gentlemen, to show your approval by rising from your mats. (This whole chamber answered to the appeal.) The chamber has risen u one man. (" Bravo.") I have yet another duty to perform, the cause of which, however, is a melancholy one. We miss from the iniaisterial table the high and noble figure of him who, sum moned to Ms King's aid in a difficult period, guided the affairs of the state with the bud of wisdom. A higher power has summoned him to a better world. His fidelity and devotion will at all times light the path of the true friends of their country. His honest character wee molt niesd in all circles far and near, and impartial history will grant to the deputed an honourable leaf in her book. May his ashes rest in peace. (Emotion.) After the trussed= of the usual formal business, the chamber was balloted into five sections for the examination of the elections, dm. The chamber then adjourned until Monday next. The Second Chamber met at 10 o'clock, under the temporary presidency of Deputy lowing. Of the members of the government there were present von Manmuffel, von der Heydt, and von Stockhausen. Baron Vincke, whose election wu announced a few days ago, took his seat for the first time. After trans acting the venal formal business, such es the election of the presidents for the woven sections, and other matters, the election of a permanent president was proceeded with. Five names were proposed; the number of votes to be given 292. Count Schwerin received 207 , Count Arnim Boitsenbug, 88 ; Robe, 12; Sehaffranesk, 2; sod Liget Rainy, 1. Count Schwerin was at sore proclaimed president by the temporary oeenpent et the chair, who, at the same time, blathered it to its pannantait occupant. Deputy Simms wee thin sleeted Vice-President, and Deputy Lomilog Second Vice-President. Both gentlemen thanked the chamber for the confidence manifested in them. The President then inquired whether the amuse i would present an address to his Majesty, in soserori to the speech from the throne, and slut i consuitles for the purpose of preparing it. Sliest Retsow opposed a division, and demanded I that the election of the committer should be poi& poned. The President declared that his proposal was in conformity with the cessions orders; and, on the quetion being pat, the greater portion of the cham ber rose to suction it. The committee was therefore agreed to. (The appointments have not yet lien nada.) urgency of a motion by Poolthammer, for the formation of nine special committees within Alms budget committee, weir acknowledged, and the ohs r' bee streusel at 1 Ode* until 111410 MW.

A rumour had gone abroad of Kosauth's miss from Klutahia. No official information, has, 1 10 4, ever, been received on the subject. BRUNSWICK. The committee of the Brunswick Representative Assembly adopted, on the 20th, an address to the Hake on the affairs of Schleswig Hils'ein. T he address seta out with approving the sentiments con. tamed in the communication made by the government on the Bth, as well u the conduct generally of me ministry, in reference to the cause of the th ic hi ci. The committee declare that they regard the snuff of the president of the Berlin cabinet to the qualifying statement accompanying the Bruns w i c k acceptance of the peace of Berlin as denoting that the Prussian government shares the views of the Brans. thee to Prcmi wick ministry. Especially it considers that M I A s has engaged to offer the moat energetic resistance, both of word and deed, to any arbitrary icterveotion is Schleswig-Holstein which German government s may attempt in favour of the Ring-Duke. Recent events, however, have caused the committee great anises sew A n w n i. m h b r e e r spec of t togotvheernfmulfienlmts pret e nding entof act in the name of the confederation actually pro. pose to send an armed force to Holstein, to subject its inhabitants to the Duke bare the latter has fulfilled the conditions of the peace ; before, indeed the very conditions are fulfilled on wtich the intervention qt a third party is made contingent. A double danger, however, threatens Brunswick : it is intended that a peace shall bo forced upon itet.rein opposed to the conditions assented to by Brunswick in its ratification, and further to destroy the indepea. denoe of this duchy by sending an army throaeh the north-western portion of its territory. The committee does not conceal that the state doss not possess the power to resist each an aggression of itself ; it yet however regards it se a duty imposed by a regard for the honour of the state not to perm:: such an aggression to take place unopposed. The committee does not doubt that the government of Brunswick will do its duty, but in order that it may perform its own, it thinks it necessary to declare that in case the sovereign should think it expedient to all for the protection and aid of the allied state of Prussia, the committee would support it is that course. The union of May 26 still exists with all its rights and duties, danger mtnace,e usurping power proposes to violate the indepetdence of the land ; the committee advise the government to refuse passage to the troops of the pretended diet, and to notify its resolution to the Prussian govern. ment, and at the came time to claim its protection sad aid. FRANKFORT, Nov. 22. The march of Prussian troops from Baden hu been going on for these two or three days. Yesterday the 30th infantry regiment arrived: to-day a regiment of lancers passed through. To-morrow 700 nr,n are ex pected. A part of these troops are going to Giessen and Wetzlar ; others go towards Nassau. We learn from CarWWl°, wider date Nov. 22, that all the foot artillery of tile Grand Duchy, hitherto csa• toned in Prussian garrisons, arrived there at noon m that day, and were reviewed by Prince Frederick. The sending of provisions from Lower Ilene to the neighbourhood of Fulda has been forbidden by the commander of the Prussian troops. Prussian troops are said to be concentrating ou the Prussian frontiers of Russia. TURKEY.—A telegraphic despatch from Vienna has reached Paris. It reports that the Sultan Abdi Metijid has been poisoned. COLONIAL. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received the Cape Town journals to Oct 2. The following is from the Cape Town M o il: _ _ ;‘ MAIL" OFFICE:MOIIDAY,thrt. O. We hasten to lay before our country readers the malt d the labours of the elected committee for framing the draft of a constitution for this colony, as pr , sented, on Siteniq last, to the adjourned meeting of municipal oonnuissionen. The chairman opened the business by stating that, as this was a meeting of commissioners, convened for the pupas of receiving and considering a draft constitution watch these gentlemen had kindly consented to prepare, though he was happy to see so many persons present, it was ex expected that any but commissioners should lake penis ths proceeding,. Sir Andrei S:ockenstrom then read the following WM: " Town boom, Sept. 27,1350. of the Cape Town Mumeipiltil. "To the —Gentlemen,—ln accordance with your request, came nioated to us on Wednesday avening last, we have dram up, in 16 articles, the main provisions of a constitivioa 6x this colony, which we now hare the honour to preseatto yet, and through you to the public, for your consideration.—We have, &c. "A. firocknenamow, C. J. BRAND, F. W. Ems, JOHN FAIRBAIRN, J. H. WICHT." Mr. Brand then arose, and referred to the qulficatiel fur members of the upper Member. It was known Mats proposal had been made that the qualification should belts possession of unencumbered landed property to the ammet of 2,0001., or encumbered landed pro; erty to that mold with unfired property to the value of 4,000/. 1' was al* well known that there was a strong ',ivy who objected ti any property qualification what. var. When the elected committee came to that point, they considered that would best fulfil their duty by meeting each other lislfety. They had agreed, therefore, that the property qualifiable should be the same as that required for a muniapil des miaaioner-1,0001. of landed property without &moan its Ming encumbered:or otherwise. They farther moral that no person should be eligible as a member of the aye, house who was under 30 years of age, or who had notr three years in the colony precediag the registration sadder of voting. The qualification for the electors bey prepaid should be the same for both houses, viz , the ouuptia fixed property of the value of 251.; but with this differed' in the manner of voting,—that the whole constituter/ of the colony shall elect for the upper houw, tact es'r handing in to the returning officer a list with not mortals fifteen names • and that, for the lower house, the *laves ei each district shall vote viva rocs before the preeiJine , ffica The committee had thus endeavoured to meet halt my to views of both parties; and they believed that the mat* mont they had suggested would necessarily secure ''stump character and iclisence to the upper chamber. 11 , inaplotri his fellew.colonista to consider the great importance of ant being of one mind and one heart in this matter.
