ontstep the boundaries of sobriety ) and that with saris favourable opportunites the usual enemies of rare and property, could not refrain from promoting and extending riot. But who can express or conceive the disappointment ! The night passed off as peaceably as the afternoon. The Ex-Loani-klivon, and his brethren of the Aldermanic gown, who had sagationsly given vent to their alarms and taken the precaution to place their forebodings on record, bad the mortification of arising in the morning without being able to complain of the disturbance of an or dinary midnight broil. It is truly pleasant to behold the faces of these gentlemen now, and to listen to their language. A fter the proofs of the good sense given by the great majority of the people of this me tropolis, on the day when they allege the Radicals ex pected to hare seduced them into riot, if not into in sorrection, their gazette, The Mormileg Poet, asserts, we may etitert.iitt well-founded hopes that a new era is opening." We, for once, agree with this great oracle. We do believe that a new era is open i ng . The Ministers and their tools have been taught inch a lesson as they cannot easily forget. The orient has been convinced that the calum nies of the public enemy arc as false as they ate foul. As in every recent instance of tumult in the country, it has been proved, that the interference of the tary ha, been either the remote or the proximate rause, so it is manifest that the British people, when left to themselves, unmolested and unprovoked, are the truest and the firmest friends to regularity and older. Nothing of an official nature has yet transpired re specting the deliberations of the mighty powers as sembled at Troppatt. Persons resident there arc not more informed upon the subject than those at a distance. The meetint:s of the Ministers of Russia, Prussia, . . . _ Austria, England, and France, are generally held at Prit.re Metternich's. The three Monargres have fre q :e.ot separate inters iews. The Empress of Austria, a < wit as the •Emperor's brother, the Cardinal, the Emperor Alexander's sister, Maria, °mud Duchess of Sire Weiniar, and her husband, are at Troppau. The Prussian, English, and French Ambassadors are there frnm Vienna. Lord Stewart has recently sent dis pst, rid Vienna, on their way to England, relative to the momentous proceedings at Troppau. It is pre ter.led the Congress will not interfer e i n t he troubles at Naples and in Sicily, but some measures will be alopted t b prevent the evils which are seen to have a t ~ rn from the interference of the military in op position to tainting Government'.

Extract of a letter from an agent to Lloyd's at Oib r.,:tar, dated Oct. 25 :—" Two American Gentlemen have arrived here, from Smyrna, to which place they came in an American brig of war, supposed with a view to establish a Commercial Treaty with the Porte." Vterixa, Nov. 14.—The military preparations, which have been prosecuted with increased activity since the commencement of the conferences at Troppan, leave no doubt of the expedition to Naples. The Antic Coon di has jnit sent orders to form other regiments of in fantry. to march immediately to Italy. This new re inforcement amounts to .10,1100 incn.—(Breseels Pa pers.) The Meeting of the Freeholders of the County of Middlesex, which was to have been held this day, has been postponed till Friday next, the Sth instant, at the request of several of the Gentlemen who signed the re quisition, on account of the notice nut being considered sufficient. cirr BUSINESA. A Special Court of Common Council was held this day, in the Council Chamber, Guildhall, for the pur pose of proposing a dutiful and loyal Address to his Majesty. The Loan Meson took the Chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock, at which time there was scarcely suf. Ilcient Members to form a Court. Tne Lord Mayor informed the court that her Ma jesty had received their Address and returned a most gracious answer, which was read by the recordr. Among the Resolutions of the day to be submitted to the Court, the two following are worthy of parti cular notice:— It is proposed, that the Representatives of the City be instructed to oppose any Grant of Money out of the Civil List, until a suitable residence is provided fur her Majesty, and a recorupence made her for past injuries. A motion to present the freedom of the City to Messrs. Brougham, Denman, and Dr. Lushington. On the opening of the Court, a communication was made by the Lord-Mayor requesting they would take into consideration, and come to some conclusions, re specting the sword hearer's table, in which Messrs. Farell and Dixon spoke. The matter was interrupted by Mr. Brown's moving the standing order of the Court, which provides that or. all occasions of peti• don or address to the Royal Family, such business take prcLe.lente. This was on a proposition from the Lord Mayor waved. A petitition nas presented by Mr. Deputy Valiance from the Ward of Cripplegate Within praying the Court to take into consideration the propriety of addressing the King to dismiss his Ministers. The Petition wasintroduced and read after some obseruations by Mr. Rieke. An objection was raised to the sap ion of " without delay," and on the motion of Mr. Alderman Waithman, it was entered on the minutes, and the discussion postponed. A similar petition was then presented by the Deputy of the Ward of Ilishopsgate. The Address WM then moved by Mr. Alderman Waithman, and second ed by Mr. Taylor. It expressed the dutiful and loyal attachment of the petitioners to his Majes• tv's person, and represented the manifold evils re sulted to the country from the pernicious counsels and measures of the present Ministers, especially of their oppressive, unjust, and unconstitutional pro ceedings relative to her Majesty, the Queen. It con cluded by praying his Majesty to dismiss from his counsels for ever, the advisers who have brought so mach calumny upon the country•, and excited the in dignation of the whole people. We never remember to hare 'seen a Court of Com mon Council so thinly attended. Aldermen Wood, Glynn, and Cristopher Smith were present. Roes'. SocieTv.--Yesterday being St. Andrew's Day, the Royal Society held their Annual Meeting at their Apartments in Somerset-place, when the Presi dent, Dr. William Hyde Wollaston, in the name of the Society, announced the adjudication of the Gold Copley Medal to Professor John Christian Oersted, fur his Electro-Magnetical Discoveries. The Society then proceeded to the Election of a President and Council for the ensuing year, when, on examining the lists, it appeared that the following gentlemen were elected: Or Tut OLD Cot:Nem—William Blake, Esq. ; William Thomas Braude, Esq.; John Earl Brownlow; Samuel Goodenough ; Lord Bishoy of Carlisle ; Taylor Combo.: Davis Gilbert, Esq.; Sir hverard Home, Bart. ; Captaiii Henry Rater ; John Pond, Esq.

After the Election the Members of the Sot iety dined together, as usual, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand.

A large portion of Tralee was illuminated on Thurs. day night last, in consequence of the proceedings against the Queen having been given up. _ _ In the North of Ireland several towns have been il luminated: to those before•mentioned we have to add Carrickfergus, Pottaferry, Blimoney, Helywood, &c.

There is little novelty sinrr our last Report, fur the universal distress of the occupiers of the soil, and of the labourers who till it, are unhappily nu novelty. Never before was there so great a provision in England, of all the necessaries of life, and ut all commodities ; but for the former, the grower finds no remuneration, and not withstanding the appsrent low rate of necessaries, the country labourers in constant employment are barely able to subsist, and the considerable nowhere in many districts, whom the tanners cannot employ, have no other allowance than parish allowance. A great accu mulation of this misery is apprehended in the ensuing winter season. Such is the strange state of our coun try, at the very summit of opulence, and superabun dance, and with the boast of an unprecedented share of intellectual light. As a carious anomaly, a e have lately heard of 901. per acre given for thin stapled, ordinary arable laud, and from 71)1. to that price, demanded for land in the county alluded to.—Rents, however, in va rious parts of the country, are giving way, to the aver age probably of nearly - NM per cent.: apparently the only obvious mode of working the necessary change in the present nielancbuly and dangerous situation of af fairs. The late considerable reduction in the price of corn, is, no doubt, full as much to be attributed to the poverty of the farmers as to the abundance of the crop. The low price of store cattle may be referred to the same causes, and to the almost general failure of the turnip crop, which will render cattle feeding in the spring ex tremely expensive. The young wheats look as healthy and well in general, as they usually do at this season, but from casualties of weather, the sowing of considera ble breadths is postponed till after Christina,.
