THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1859 Although we are this afternoon placed in posses sion (by telegram) of a sufficiently lucid analysis of the treaty recently signed at Zurich by the French and Austrian Plenipotentiaries, we are nevertheless no more enabled now than we were previously to see, or to do any more than merely conjecture, the po: tical Future of the Roman Peninsula. The rea difficulty, in fact, is carefully evaded. The treaty signed at Zurich, in truth, does very little more than was effected by the truce arranged at Villafranca. Austria, we again learn, gives up Lombardy to the Emperor of the French—the whole of Lom bardy, that is to say, with the exception of Mantua and Peschiera ; in other words, as far as the new frontier has been fixed by special commission. The Emperor of the French, we also again learn, transfers those portions of Lombardy—the fine plains without the strong fortresses—to his Imperial Majesty's ally, King VICTOR EMMANUEL. The rose-wreath, we now find, however, as we had suspected, is not without its thorns ! In rea lity these thorns are now numbered up by the treaty of Zurich to the distressful number of 250,000,000 f. Together with his new pro vince of Lombardy, that is to say, the Sar dinian monarch has handed over to him from the despoiled EMPEROR of AUSTRIA an agreeable debt, amounting in all to two hundred and fifty millions of francs. Article the Eighteenth is the next particularised in this analytic telegram, and it is one of the few articles of the Treaty of Zurich that will not fail to be read with a pecu liar and lively interest throughout Christendom. It is, in regard to the Event promised, explicit enough, but, in regard to the Manner of its Accomplishment, vague as vague could well It runs as follows : " Desiring that the tranquillity of the Church, and the power of the HOLY FATHER should be insured, and being convinced that this end could not be ob tained in a more effective manner, than by a system suited to the wants of the populations, and by re forms, the necessity of which has been already re organised by the Sovereign-Pontiff, the two con tracting parties will unite their efforts in order that a reform in the administration of the States of the Church should be carried out by his Holiness." So far this assurance has now been given to the world, formally and conjointly, by the two most powerful among the Catholic States of Europe. Thereupon, however, in the very next article (Art.l9) follows the careful evasion by France and Austria of the real difficulty in regard to the solution of the problem of the political future of the Italian Peninsula. It observes in this article " that the territorial limits of the independent States of Italy which did not take part in the last war could be changed only with the assent of the other Powers of Europe which took part in forming and guaranteed the existence of the States." Observing, moreover, rather super fluously, that " The rights of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, the Duke of MODP.NA, and the Duke of PARMA are expressly reserved by the higher con tracting Powers." Wherefore, of course, France and Austria together imply as plainly as words can imply anything, that the responsibility of deciding as to those rights evolves uon those su- g ow d ers. It is p the signal for preme contraetin p the long-talked-of Congress! " The two Em perors," we are told further on by Art. 20, "will assist with all their power in the formation of a Confederation of all the States of Italy, the object of which will be the preservation of the indepen dence and integrity of Italy, which will insure the development of their moral and material in- 411,11114, terests, and will watch over the defence of the in terior and exterior of Italy by means of a federal army." Though the treaty wisely refrains from attempting to inform us how that federal army can be maintained intact and harmonious while com prising with it Austrian, Neapolitan, Papal, and Piedmontese contingents ! , Altogether scanning the whole of this mystic treaty between the Austro- French Plenipotentiaries, we can only define our estimate of the result arrived at by saying that the abrupt truce decided upon at Villafranca has now been tardily followed up at Zurich by—an exten sion of the armistice ! Her MAJESTY'S Ministers ought to know per, fectly well, by this time, that whatever else they may refrain from doing, there are two things they Must do in obedience to Necessities, brooking no evasion whatsoever. They must grapple in earnest with the question of Parliamentary . Reform—and they must inflict upon the Chinese the penalty of a summary and swinging retribution. Delay in either particular is in no way practicable with im punity. If adventured upon in either instance, the mere attempt at procrastination will render at once inevitable the downfall of this vaunted strong Government. As to the Reform Difficulty, that must, perforce, " wait a wee" —namely until the reassembling of the Legislature in February. Until the Lords and Commons are again sitting down at Westminster, we must remain in ignorance as to whether Ministers are really and truly preparing their plans'during the long vacation to satisfy the wants of the nation in regard to the thorough and comprehensive revision of the elective system. Not so in regard to the China Difficulty. There, not only do we find no necessity for delay in the ex planation of the policy resolved upon by Ministers, but we recognise at once that hesitation of any kind in carrying that policy out would be little less than criminal, would be certainly calculated to prove eminently disastrous. The Administration has by this time learnt all it can possibly wish to learn in reference to the disaster at the mouth of the Peiho, before the Taku fortifications, in order to enable them to measure the extent of the heinous atrocity there perpetrated treacherously in cold blood, and de manding at our hands, and at the hands of our Allies across the Channel, a prompt, signal, and in every respect adequate, vengeance, Among the latest news telegraphed from the French capital, we learn that the Chinese Expedition has been formally discussed in the Council of Ministers, presided over by the Emperor NAPOLEON, and that . although no definite decision had there and then been arrived at, a distinct proposition had been submitted to the consideration of the Council, to the effect that 18,000 men should, at the turn of the year (1859-1860), be despatched to the frontiers of the Celestial Empire for immediate disembarkation, followed by a retributive march upon Pekin. Yet our French allies, remember, had scarcely a dozen men placed hors de combat under the forts of Taku, while the number of our own killed and wounded closely approximated to five hundred ! It is certainly true that, among the latter, there has recently returned homewards a young officer who has seized the oddest possible opportunity for descanting upon what he (with an extra ordinary perversity of judgment) regards as the flagrant criminality of our proceedings in reference to the Chinese, and of the perfectly justifiable proceedings on their part in reference to ourselves ! Captain LONGLEY'S crotchet, or as Mr. COBDEN'S Yankee friends would less politely term it—" craze "—has more recently been endorsed by the coincident opinions of the hon. baronet, the member for Lanarkshire. We don't believe, how ever, that Sir EDWARD COLEBROOK will find half a-dozen rational men, from Land's End to John o'Groat's, who will go with him in his peculiarly perverse and tortuous mode of reasoning. According to Sir E. T. COLEBROOKE the Western allies ought to submit meekly to this sanguinary deed on the part of the Chinese—an act (considering the peculiar circumstances of the case) at once of cowardice and of treachery— that the allies ought to allow 'it to pass un resented and unexpiated—for what reason, in the name of common sense, :does any one conjec ture ? Why, absolutely for the astounding reason that the Chinese Government is rotten to the core, is penniless, is powerless, is upon the verge of bankruptcy, is upon eve of disruption and dis. memberment ! " Nothing," says the member for Lanarkshire, in a tone more suitable if applied to " mill" for the Championship, than to a momentous conflict between the two most powerful and civi lised races of Christendom on the one side, and on the other, nearly one entire moiety of the earth's population [meaning, of course, the Chinese, as opposed to the Anglo-French confederates], " No thing is more easy than to throw up our hats, de cide on licking the Chinese, and vote the money for the purpose." Adding inopportunely (remembering what has recently occurred on the Peiho) this amazing axiom, as addressed to Englishmen—" There are occasions when there is as much danger in success as in defeat ; and this is one of them." It is thus that Sir E. T. COLEBROOKE propounds the extraordinary argu ment already particularised, doing so in the manner following—" We are dealing," he says, " with a Government unwarlike ; and there is nothing in recent success to alter our opinion. We are deal ing with a Government so prostrate and paralysed by internal convulsions that it seems fast falling to pieces, and approaching that state of things we found in India. Lord Elgin describes their poverty, and he says he could not for very shame press them for money to pay the ex penses of the war. It is in the power of the European Powers to destroy it, but unless some caution and forbearance are exercised by those great Powers in their demands, we may be in cur ring responsibilities by which not only 300,000,000 of Chinese will be affected, by also our own coun trymen engaged in trade in that part of the world, which must be taken into account. There is a strong danger of throwing that country into con fusion, and forcing upon ourselves responsibilities such as we incurred in India, and which I desire to see averted. We have enough in our hands with regard to India without desiring any further em pire, and our policy in China ought not to be one of aggrandisement." Most assuredly if Englatad were to be influenced in any way towards the adoption of this most surprising policy—almost we might venture to call it the policy of national poltroonery—there would be small fear of our hav ing responsibilities as numerous as they are already. Let England but yield assent to councils such as these, and adieu—north, s )uth, east, west—to that glorious and heroic prestige which is, in truth, the talisman of her vast and world-wide dominion. No—the summary, vigorous, inexorable, and over whelming punishment of the Chinese for the per fidy of their flagitious Government, is with us not so much a matter of choice as a matter of imperative necessity. It is precisely, among other reasons, be cause we have already the responsibility of pre siding over the destinies of 200,000,000 Asiatics in Hindostan that we must, if only from motives of prudence, retaliate swiftly and terribly upon the Chinese in return for their murderous THE SUN, LONDON THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 20, 1859 LATEST NEWS. TREAT 1( OF PEACE. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : ZURICH, OCT. 18. The following is an analysis of the treaty of peace concluded between France and Austria, as signed by the Plenipotentiaries, but which has not yet re- ceived. the ratification of the two governments. The treaty commences with the usual preamble Desirous of putting an end to the calamities o war, and forming into a definite treaty the pre- liminaries made at Villafranca, the two Emperors have named their Plenipotentiaries, and communi cated to them full powers ; and the said Plenipo- tantiaries have agreed to the following : That peace shall be concluded, &c. France returns to Austria the Austrian steamers seized during the war, but on which judgment has not been passed, &c. Austria gives up Lombardy, with the exception of Mantua, Peschiera, and as far as the frontier line fixed by a special commission (the limit of which is already known). The Emperor of the French declares that he ,ransfers these portions of Lombardy to the King of Sardinia. Then follow the articles concerning the jurisdic tion, namely : The option for the employes of Piedmont and Austria to remain in the service of the two Govern ments, and to have the option of transferring within a year their goods to Piedmont, and vice versa. They would, however, retain their right to any property lift behind them when they move their domicile from Austria to Sardinia, or from Sardinia to Austria. The pensions acquired by persons in Lombardy Swill be respected and paid by the new Government to those entitled to them; and in those cases, where it is so stipulated, to the widows and children of those pensioned. Then follows the settlement of the debt, which is the subject of two articles, one of which is an additional agreement for the mode of payment. According to these articles Piedmont is to pay to Austria 40 millions of florins. (Conventions—Munze)—And besides is respon sible for three-fifths of the debt of the Monte- Lombardo-Venetian. (Altogether the debt trans ferred to Sardinia amounts to 250 millions of francs). Then follows Article 18, which tuns thus Desiring that the tranquillity of the Church, and the power of the Holy Father should be insured, and being convinced that this end could not be ob tained in a more effective manner than by a system suited to the wants of the populations and by reforms, the necessity of which has been already recognised by the Sovereign -Pon tiff, the two contracting parties will unite their efforts in order that a reform in the administration of the States of the Church should be carried out by his Holiness, Art. 19 states that the territorial limits of the independent States of Italy which did not take part in the last war could be changed only with the assent of the other Powers of Europe which took part in forming, and guaranteed the existence of these States. The rights of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, and the Duke of Parma are expressly reserved by the higher con tracting Powers. -Art. 20. The two Emperors will assist with all their power in the formation of a confederation of all the States of Italy, the object of which will be the preservation of the independence and inte grity of Italy, which will insure the development of their moral and material interests, and will watch over the defence of the interior and exterior of Italy by means of a federal army. Venetia, which will remain under the rule of the Emperor of Austria, will form a part of this confe . eration, and will participate in the rights and in the obligations of the federal treaty, the clauses of which will be established by the representatives of all the states of Italy. Art. 21 stipulates that persons having taken part in the late events will not be attacked either in their person or their property, and can remain unmolested in the two countries. Art. 22. The present treaty shall be signed and ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at Zurich within 15 days. Other articles stipulate that Austria shall be obliged to free from military service the soldiers belonging to the territory which she gives up. Austria undertakes, likewise, to restore the secu rities and deposits of private persons placed in the public establishments belonging to Austria. Art. 1G grants to the religious establishments in Lombardy the liberty to dispose freely of their private and landed property, if the possession of such property is incompatible with the laws of the • new Government. BRUSSELS, OCT. 19. Intelligence from Paris, received to-day, states that the Emperor Napoleon has refused to grant an audience to the deputation from Bologna, now in Paris ; likewise that the China expedition has been discussed its the Council of Ministers. It was pro posed to despatch a force of 18,000 men, but no definite decision was arrived at. These troops will not leave before the end of the year. MADRID, OCT. 19. The Cortes has resumed the discussion of the budget. Government expects very shortly to receive an answer from Morocco to the demand for guaran rees for the future preservation of peace; the war preparations continue nevertheless. PARMA, OCT. 19. Justice continues to be energetically carried out; some new arrests have taken place. The munici pality has determined on the destruction of the column on which the head of Colonel Anviti was placed. itARSEILLES, OCT. 19. News from Constantinople has been received to ;he 12th inst. The ambassadors have continued during the week to hold conferences at the residence of M. de Thou venel, and were perfectly agreed. A haughty answer was given by Hussein Pacha when ho was brought before and questioned by his judges; this has given rise to the supposition that a fresh outbreak of the conspiracy may take place. Agitation prevails in Bosnia and some other pro- vinces. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. Dr. Kern, the representative of Switzerland, has arrived here. General DEtbormida, the Sardinian Minister, held another conference with Count Wale wski. General Fleury has arrived at Compiegne to eomplete the arrangements for the receptions to take place there at the beginning of November. • A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels, says—" The Emperor of Austria is said to have proposed to the Emperor of the French, with whom ambuscade. A necessity this all the more urgent, all the more imperative, bearing in mind that we haVe but just now reconquered our position in Bengal, by crushing out one of the most criminal and formidable revolts upon record—and that, in another direction, also within ken of the Chinese, we have opened up, for the first time, amicable relations with Japan—relations at once social, political, and commercial. No, again we say No—and we would fain reiterate it a thou sand thousand times to men like Captain LANGLEY and Sir EDWARD COLEBROOKE--if we would maintain the ancient glory of our race un sullied—if we would preserve our empire in India —if we would guard ourselves from the risk of any similar act of treachery on the part of the Japanese—we must wreak upon the Chinese a terrible and ever memorable retribution. The path we have to tread there is plain enough—it is no other than the shortest road to Pekin. Nothing less than the triumphal entry of our troops into Pekin will afford adequate expiation for the crime per . petrated. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday, at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Down ing-street. - It was attended by Lord J. Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, Sir Charles Wood, the Duke of Somerset, the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, Sir G. Grey, Earl of Elgin, and the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d' Aumale and the Count de Paris have been staying on a visit to Count and Countess de Jarnac, at Thomastown Castle, their seat in Ireland. His Excellency the Prussian Minister and the Countess de Bernstorff are expected in town early next week from Tunbridge Wells. The Duke of Hamilton is expected in town in a few days from Scotland, on his way to Paris to join the Duchess. The Marchioness (Frances Anne) of London derry has arrived at Eglinton Castle on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Eglinton, from Garren Tower, her lady ship's seat in Ireland. The Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, the Marquis Conyngham and Lady Cecilia Conyngham, Sir Thomas and Lady Gresley, and Captain Watt have arrived at the St. George's Hotel. • The Earl and Countess Granville are shortly ex pected in town from Carlsbad. The Earl of Annesley and the Hon. Mr. and Mu. W. Vernon have left the St. George's Hotel. The Chancellor of the Exchequer left London on Tuesday evening for Holyhead. Lady Peel and Mr. Arthur Peel left town yester day on a visit to the Right Hon. Frederick Peel, M.P., and Mrs. Pad, at Hampton in Arden, Warwickshire. Sir John and Lady Pollen are receiving company at Redenham Park, their seat near Andover. BATTUE AT LYTHAM.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and several officers of his staff, have been staying with Colonel Clifton, at Lytham Hall, near Preston, since the inspection of troops at the Furwood 'Barracks on Tuesday, and on Thursday there was a shoot ing party, when 493 hares, 271 pheasants, 60 partridges, and 19 rabbits, were killed by six guns. MR. STEPHENSON AND RAILWAYS.—In conversa tion with a gentleman in Newcastle (says the _Newcastle Chronicle), a short time before his death, Mr. Robert Stephenson said that the cost of the railway lines in whose construction he had been officially engaged was about £800,000,00 0 sterling. THE ATLANTIC CABLE.—Messrs. Beardmore and Robinson, electricians, have visited Valentia this week, and set on foot a series of experiments on the Atlantic cable. Encouragement as to the success of the undertaking, both as regards the resuscitation of the old and the laying of a new cable, is in the ascendant. These gentlemen found room, in the state of the cable, to disseminate new courage among its friends.—Tralee Chronicle. ' AYRSHIRE ELECTION.—The writ for the election of a member for the county arrived on Tuesday, and the sheriff has fixed Wednesday the 26th inst. for the nomina tion and Friday the 28th as the polling day. Botb candi dates have now concluded their canvass, and both from the terms of new addresses issued to the constituency are con fident of success. Time only will reveal who is to be the "coming man," although numerous bets are being taken that the young Conservative will be at the top of the poll on the 28th.—North British, Daily Mail. THE STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE.—Ac cording to an official return issued by the Central Associa tion of Master Builders, the total number of men who have resumed work under the declaration up to Saturday, the 15th inst., was 11,692 ; and the total number of men who have resumed in establishments adopting a shop-rule con taining the spirit of the declaration, is 2,335 . ' A 'TRIP TO THE GREAT EASTERN.—Yesterday Mr. M'lver (of the Cunard Company), gave a holiday to nearly all his employes, and placed at their service the steamer Satellite for the purpose of a visit to the Great Eastern at Holyhead. THE NEW SUB-DEAN OF THE CHAPEL ROYAL The Lord Bishop of London, in his capacity of Dean of her Majesty's Chapels Royal, has conferred the honourable post of sub-dean, vacant by the death of the Rev. Charles Wesley, D.D., on the Rev. Francis Garden, M.A., curate of St. Stephen's, Rochester-row, Westminster. A LOCOMOTIVE IN THE STRAND.—A novelty in locomotion was witnessed and wondered at byhundreds yes terday. A large boiler was propelled by a single engine through the Strand without causing any inconvenience to the traffic. The last newspapers from Tasmania (Van Die men's Land) contain several further paragraphs respecting the gold discoveries in that island. At a public meeting at Circular Head an expedition had been arranged to explore the reefs of quartz ascertained to exist in the neighbour hood. It was said that specimens had been tested giving an average yield of eight ounces of gold to the ton, 15 ounces having been in some cases obtained. Half a ton had been sent to Melbourne to be crushed. Gold had also been dis covered on the Wilmot, a river finning into the Forth on its western side, and on the Forth itself, above the junction of the Wilmot, and some distance below the ford at Middle sex plains. It was therefore inferred that the' gold produc ing area in that region is extensive. There was still, how ever, no certainty that it exists in quantities to yield an ave rage remuneration for labour, such as may be obtained at any of the ordinary mining districts either of Victoria or New South Wales. IRONWORKS IN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.—The iron works recently established at W ellingborough, Northamp tonshire, are turning out 80 tons per week. Derbyshire coal is used, mixed with a small proportion of Yorkshire coke. Upwards of 100 men are employed at the works, which were established by Messrs. Butlin and Co., and have com municated a considerable impetus to the town of Welling borough. Mr. Prendergast, the Accountant- General of Madras, has been dismissed in consequence of his dealing in Tanjore Bonds ; and Mr. R. P. Harrison, the Accoun tant-General to the government of Bengal, will succeed him. The changes consequent on the transfer will give promotion to several of the uncovenanted officers of the Cal -1 cutta Treasury, and allow of the reduction of the ac countant's salary to 2,500 rupees a month. There are eight or ten thousand labourers, we learn from a correspondent of the Bombay Gazette, em ployed on the Bhore Ghat. Those who do the blasting busi ness (natives) are thus noticed :—" Day and night they work continually, without one atom of ventilation to cool them, or a greater movement in the air than enables them to breathe. They take from ten to twelve hours at a spell, punching a heavy steel bar against rock which they can scarcely penetrate at a greater rate than an inch an hour. These men found it wholly im possible to sustain themselves on vegetable food, and, left at liberty by their caste, they eat and drink, as they work, very much like English navvies. From ten to twelve oxen are killed daily for their use at Khandalla, where beef for merly was a thing unknown, and they can wash down a comfortable beefsteak with a glass of grog without the dan ger of drunkenness. They are the only class of people who stick to their work all the year round, and have scarcely visited their villages since the tunneling began." CLEVER CAPTURE OF A HORSE STEALER.--On Sunday morning, abouthalf-past oneo'clock,police-constable Thorpe was on duty at the top of St. Peter's street, Derby, when he met a man on horseback going in the direction of Melbourne. Thorpe went up to him and asked him where he had been so early on horseback, and he replied that he had been to the Wheel Inn, Friargate, Derby, on an errand for Mr. Mayers, horse-dealer. The constable said he thought Mr. Mayerswould not send him out at half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning. The man said it was "all right," and then attempted to put the horse on, but the constable had a scuffle with him, and another constable coming up he was taken into custody. The constable then conveyed the man and horse to Mr. Mayers, horse dealer, Siddals-road, Derby, and it was found that the prisoner had broken open the gates of the yard and stable of Mr. Mayers, and had taken the animal away. Prisoner gave the name of William Walker dine, and it appears that ho was formerly in the employ of Mr. Mayers, but had been turned away for misconduct. EXPLOSION OF A BALLOON.—The Utica (N.Y.) Herald furnishes the particulars concerning the bursting of the balloon in which Messrs. Coe and Coltman ascended from tho fair grounds at Rome, on Thursday last, and of the involuntary descent of the aeronauts. The voyagers started at four o'clock, and rapidly attained an altitude of two miles, their balloon constantly expanding from the heat of the sun. They struck the easte rl y current, and were pro ceeding ai the rate of 30 miles an hour, and were in fine spirits, when, about 20 minutes before five o'clock, Mr. Coe discovered that the apparatus connected with the safety valve was deranged, and beyond remedy. He at once at tempted to discharge the gas from the upper valve, in order to descend. The valve worked well, but the pressure on the safety valve from the lower part of the balloon was so great that an explosion ensued, causing a rent 40 feet in length. In about a minute after the descent was so rapid as to increase the rent to 50 feet, thus leaving almost the entire upper portion of the air-vessel open. In half a minute after the second rent was discovered there was not a foot of gas in the a t il i rl o o n o . n vessel lwas Afteratos swayf thrownall i falling half a i balloon. For nearly half a mile the voyagers came down at a violently, and most terrific speed, feeling tha same sensation that one ex periencesd i p w r i g r n , gi causingo n inr o a f it the e m balloon m sid il e e o t f il thee i n a s maint t and the basket and passengers were raised to an even height with the valve of the vessel itself. This motion was expe rienced several times, and as often was broken by the self possession of the aeronauts in changing their position in the car. Finally, this swaying motion was increased by the voyagers until they succeeded in forming a parachute of the remnants of the balloon, when the rapid rate of speed in their *descent was measurably impeded.

The Paris papers publish the following note, com• municated to the Sublime Porte by the represents• tives of the Powers that signed the Treaty of Paris We translate the note as published in the Constitu tionnel:— " The representatives of the Powers which, while guaranteeing the maintenance and the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, testified a particular interest in its prosperity, feel it their duty, under the pre sent grave circumstances, to call the earnest atten tion of the Porte to the political and financial con dition of the country. Europe has marked out an important place for Turkey in her midst, but she was well aware that an external guarantee would not suffice to realise her wishes if the Power thus strengthened from without did not exert itself, and if its internal organisation was not promoted by the gradual and continued introduction of reforms, the principles of which have been solemnly and liber ally admitted by his Majesty the Sultan. So great a task cannot doubtless be performed in a day ; but its furtherance brooks no delay ; and in the interme diary state through which the empire is passing between the ruins of a defunct system, and the still incomplete materials of a new one, a continual and incessant impulse is necessary to urge on the laggers, to compel all to work for the common good. " Now, the representatives, as undersigned, regret to state, without pointing out the cause, that this impulse does not manifest itself in a manner to attain the object at which the Sublime Porte itself must aim. " The unsettled feeling which prevails in the public mind in the different classes of the empire will not subside until the majority of the nation can clearly foresee in a proximate future an epoch where it will enjoy security resulting from the normal movement of a society satisfied with itself, peacefully occupied with the development of its resources, and governed by an Administration atten tive to its moral as well as to its material wants; the declared enemy of abuses, especially economical and prudent in the outlay of the public, revenue. The fulfilment of these general conditions of the prosperity of States is independent of the differences of religion and of race. The question to be resolved is that of the establishment of a Government under which all the subjects of his Majesty the Sultan, Mussulmans and Christians, instead of suffering analogous evils, will enjoy similar advantages." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, OCT. 17. Baron Bruck's longer stay in office is almost im possible, so loud, so general is the outcry against him. The most injurious epithets are applied to the once•popular Minister, who is suspected of hav ing done things of which he, in all probability, is innocent. In letters addressed to their correspon dents in this city, certain foreign bankers astd merchants express their belief that the Minister of Finances has manipulated with other Govern ment Stock as he has done with National Loan Obligations, "it having attracted notice that the Metalkques which have recently been sold abroad on account of the Government are new." Other writers express their want of confidence in the monthly balance sheet of the Bank, and ask whether any of the directors of that institution have recently had an opportunity of satisfying themselves that its reserve fund is 79,090,168f1. AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH,) LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING, The screw steamer City of Baltimore, from New York, has arrived at Queenstown. She left on the Bth inst., and has 23,255 dollars in specie. Her news is anticipated per Vanderbilt. She ; poke the American ship Fiddia on the 19th inst., bound east. She encountered strong easterly gales during the voyage. She left for Liverpool at 5.30 a.m. The screw steamer North American, with the Canadian mails to the Bth inst., was off Donagba, dee at 6 o'clock this morning. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, The Vanderbilt steamship, Captain Lefevre, has arrived with New York mails of the Bth inst., 255 passenmers, 100,000 dols. for England, and. 604,726 dols. for France. She has had heavy weather during the voyage. The steamship Canada arrived at Halifax on the 6th. The Fulton, hence, arrived at New York on the 7th, having had. very heavy weather during the passage out. A despatch from New Orleans of the 7th inst. states that the Fillibusters were arrested at the South-west Pass at 1 o'clock that day, by the United States' Marshal, assisted by the United States' Artillery. They peaceably surrendered. Despatches were in preparation at the Depart ment of State, at Washington for the American Minister in China, enlightening him on the subject of neutrality. Several private despatches had been received at the War Department from General Scott, dated at Key West, where the steamship had put in for the purpose of forwarding them. The old General was in excellent health. Despatches of great import ance had been telegraphed to him in reply. The election in Georgia had resulted in Governor Brown's re-election by fully 15,000 majority. Senator Frederick and Judge Terry had fought a duel at San Francisco, and the judge received a wound in the throat, which was supposed to be mortal. The New York cotton-market on the 7th was without animation, while the sales were confined to about 300 to 400 bales, without quotable change in prices. The flour market continued to be active up to the receipt of the Canada's news, with a slight im provement in common and medium grades and low extras. Wheat was firmer for prime lots of winter grown, while inferior and common qualities were heavy. Corn was in good request, and rather firmer. Sugars were active, and closed at an advancebof Ic. per lb. The sales embraced 1,850 hogsheads, 2,000 boxes, and 2,200 bags. The public tea sales , a lthough not large, were spirited; all the green and nearly all the blacks were sold at rates which fully sustained previous prices. Coffee was quiet, bat steady. Freight engagements were moderate, while rates were without change of moment. Exchange was down to 110 !per cent. on London for the best of the standard drawers ; 1094 for tran sient bank, and 1091 to 1091 per cent. for choice merchant bills. The French exchanges have not gone down in proportion, though the best bills are had 'at sf. 141 c. to sf. 13/e. to the dollar. The money-market continued to work quietly. The stockbrokers are generally accommodated at 6 per cent., and the discount brokers get money at 6 to 61 on very short prime acceptances, and 7 per cent. on choice lists of paper at four to six months' dates. Business on the stock exchange was moderately active, and prices at the close decidedly firm on most of the railroad shares. At Baltimore, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Oswego , and Toronto, the flour markets were firm, and prices generally unchanged. Sales of cotton at New Orleans were small, the market closing at 101 c. to 11L-c. for middling. THE NEW INDIAN LOAN. The movement of the new Indian Loan continues to furnish a most remarkable example of the way in which the value of securities is influenced by mere facilities of management. At its present price, assuming it to be paid off in ten years, it will pay about 4, 1 or 41 per cent., while the native Five per Cents. and Four per Cents., of which there are about 60 or 60 millions in existence, can be bought here, the former below 90, and the later at about 76. Both are negotiable in London, and rest upon precisely the same security as the recent loan, while they also enjoy the advantage of being pay able in silver and, consequently, free from any ad verse influence from the gold discoveries, and of not being liable, at least as regards the Four per Cents., to the contingency of being paid off or of undergoing a reduction in the rate of interest. But the fact that the dividends must be received at the India-office in bills, instead of in cash at the Bank of England, and that the security is in the shape of a paper document instead of in stock like Con sols, is sufficient, although these bills can be turned into cash at any of the leading India firms, and the paper can be registered in the name of its possessor, to make all the difference between popularity:and unpopularity, even to the extent of a serious annual loss to the investor. A yet more remarkable view of the matter is presented by the position of the ndian railways. These, with their 6 per cent. gua antee, notwithstanding a recent partial recovery, ange from 7 per cent. discount to par, while the Madras 41- per cent. shares are 18 to 15 discount. Yet, in addition to the Government liability, they have solid works, which will always be identified with the prosperity of the people, to show for the money expended, and the prospect of large extra gains from the traffic yielding more than the gua rantee. The holders likewise have the conve nience of their dividends being remitted to them by post, but the magic words "Bank of England" are wanting, and the property must therefore re main subject to a disparaging contrast. That the railway stocks cannot advance much beyond par, except in cases where a development of traffic is taking place, so as to show that the returns will be more than 5 per cent., must be admitted, because as fast as they rise to a premium the companies will, of course, avail themselves of the notification that guarantees for extensions may be had upon their being asked for, but this circumstance can afford no explanation for the present shares remaining at a discount. The lesson conveyed seems therefore to be that the public are guided, even in financial matters, by convenience and fashion more than, by any deliberate judgment on the intrinsic and rela tive merits of the securities they may select, and that the dealers who desire to prosper must study this peculiarity rather than base their proceedings on abstract calculations.--Times. NEWS FR 01 THE WHALE FISHERY. Further intelligence has this week been received from the whaling grounds in Davis' Straits, by the arrival of the Dundee Whale Fishing Company's screw whaler, the Narwhal, Capt. George Deuchars, which vessel arrived on Monday afternoon. She left the fishing ground on the 23d September, and Sirral Head on the 24th, and saw the Chieftain of Kirkaldy and the St. Andrew of Aberdeen lying there, at the bar. The number of whales seen'dur . ing the present fishing season has not been very great, although the number taken has been more than usually large , compared with those of recent years. The Narwhal caught thirteen fish, and brings 120 tuns of oil and about eight tons of whalebone. Captain Deuchars fur nishes the following report as to the state of the other vessels at the fishing when he left, and the number of fish taken by each at the date men tioned Fish. Tuns. Date.

Walker, belonging to the Tay Whale Fishing Com pany, which happened about one o'clock in the morning of 23d of July, in the ice, at which time she had 110 tons of oil. The vessel had been com pletely squeezed by the pressure of two floes of ice, between which she had been caught. She had been sailing to the northward at the time the dis aster happened, and had entered an inlet in a field of land ice, and had been hooked to the field. While in this position the ice closed in upon her so fast that it was found impossible to get her out of her perilous position, or to make a " dock" in the ice for her, and the consequence was that as the ice closed upon her she was crushed to pieces. The crew were compelled to take refuge on the ice, and we believe have saved a portion of their clothing and other property which was on board. They remained 48 hours in this desolate position, after which they were picked up by the Emma of Hull. One man belonginc , to Kirkaldy, whose name we have been unable to learn, died on the ice ; and another seaman, named Robert Mackenzie, belonging to Dundee, died a day or two afterwards on board the vessel which relieved them, both deaths being caused by the exposure of the two days' residence on the ice. The crew of the unfortunate vessel was afterwards disposed of through various vessels fishing there, and the Narwhal brings home nine of them. The Advice was an old vessel, having been built in 1785, and had she returned from her present voyage, she would have made, it is said, 55 trips to these hyperborean regions. The weather is reported to have been very foggy at the time the vessel was lost ; and the ice was very heavy, and is said to have been from 9 to 11 feet thick.—. Dundee _Advertiser. TILE LATE MR. ROBERT ON. Yesterday afternoon workmen began their pre parations for the grave of the lamented and talented engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, in Westminster Abbey, under the superintendence of Mr. Knight, clerk of works under the dean and chapter, vello, by a singular coincidence, has been associated for many years with Mr. Stephenson in the construc tion and execution of the principal railway works in the kingdom. The spot selected for the grave is very near the centre of the nave, and it will lie between the bodies of two men of eminence, both endowed with rare qualities, and noted as benefactors to the human race in their day and generation. On the left lies the celebrated engineer Mr. George Telford, the constructor of the suspension-bridge across the Menai Straits, whose plan for crossing the straits at Bangor was at the time looked upon as the produc tion of a master mind, but which, since then, has been altogether eclipsed by the stupendous erection in close proximity to it, known as the Britannia bridge, connecting Wales with the isle of Anglesey. On the right hand side is deposited the body of Dr. Bell, the founder of the Madras system of teaching, and which is up to the present day the adopted sys tem of instruction in the national schools of the Church of England. The grave is only four feet from the level of the pavement, and the latter has not been disturbed for a considerable distance since the interment of Mr. George Telford, which took place in February, 1834. It is expected that all the most eminent engineers of the day, members of Parliament, and private friends, will attend the funeral, which will take place to-morrow (Friday). SOLEMNITIES AT NEWCASTLE.—Yesterday no tices were issued by the mayor of Newcastle-on- Tyne, and by the mayor of Tynemouth, requesting the inhabitants of those towns to close their shops and places of business at noon on Friday, on the occasion of the funeral of the late Mr. Robert Ste phenson. Similar marks of respect will be shown by the towns of Gateshead, South Shields, and Sun derland. The mayor of Newcastle, the sheriff, town clerk, Alderman Dodds, Alderman Bell, and other gentlemen connected with the town and trade of Newcastle, will attend the funeral of Mr. Stephen son ; and, at the request of the workpeople of Robt. Stephenson and Co., the vicar of Newcastle-on-Tyne has intimated that Divine service will be held in the venerable church of St. Nicholas, at noon on Friday, which will be attended by all the men in the employ of the well-known firm. The banks will be closed, and, in fact, there will be an entire cessa tion of business in the northern district during the funeral of Mr. Stephenson. 'VRECK OF THE SIIIP HEROINE,A?TD LOSS OF LIFE. Particulars have been received respecting the loss of the Heroine on a reef about two miles from Ronne, while on her passage from Greenock to Cronstadt. Captain Brown states that he came round Fakerbo Lightship on the afternoon of the 33th September with a fresh breeze from W.S.W. He set studding sails, and steered an E.S.E. course, until shortly before the ship struck. The night was dark and cloudy when he went below at midnight, after leaving instructions with the mate. When he came on deck at 4 o'clock next morning the weather was rainy and hazy. 'The mate called his attention to what he supposed to be two vessels' lights on the lee bow. The wind was, then S.W. by S., and had been the same since eight o'clock on the preceding evening. After being on deck for some time, Cap- - tain Brown states that the lights appeared more distinct, and he began to fear they were on the land. A good look-out was kept by him and the watch, and about forty minutes to 5 o'clock, he being himself forward looking over the bows, he thought he saw the loom of the land close by the lights, and in this he was confirmed by the opinion of one of the men: The helm was immediately ordered to be put up, and the ship was kept away N.E. by N. until the chart was examined. On this being done, Captain Brown altered the course to N.N.E., and then went forward and looked over the starboard bow. At this time he supposed, judging from the appearance of the land through the haze and darkness, that they were about two miles off, but at this point the ship struck slightly. The captain immediately ran aft and hove the helm hard. a-starboard, but it was too late, for she stuck fast. All hands were imme diately called, the yards braced, and the fore and aft canvas set to try and lay her over, but she never moved. The sails having been clewed up, they' were boarded by a number of boats from the shore, with the crews of which the captain made an agree' ment to take the ship off; but the wind freshening and the sea rising, they could not carry an anchor out. The pumps were sounded, but it was found the ship was making little or no water, there only being 20 inches when the boats left. The crews of the boats requested .the captain and crew to go ell shore, but the captain declared his intention of net leaving the ship, at least till she began to make . water. The ship, having strusk several times o n ' the stones, began to make water, and then ordere were given to let go the anchor and to prepare for leaving the ship. By this time it was blowing hard, and the sea running pretty heavy, but as the ship lay broadside on, the crew had a good oppnr: tunity of getting into the boats. The longbow , was therefore got into the water and some - elothet are., put on board. At this juncture the ship canted head to wind, and the sea began to break heavily over the longboat. The jollyboat was launched out at the gangway, and two men got into her , while one man remained in the longboat to keep her clear of the side ; the remainder of the ere % were on the point of getting into the boats when $ heavy sea broke over them, stove the longboat, leaving the man barely time to get out of her before she sank. One of the two in the jollyboat having the painter the boat fell broadside on to the sea, an was swamped. Of the two men who were washed out one got hold of two of the oars, while the other re' tamed his hold of the boat, which turned on her bottom again. In thi s way b ot h near l y rea ched the shore, and every endeavour was made to sav e them, but of no avail. The body of one of theeb Neil Bell, of Islay, was found shortly afterwards' . but the other, nam e d Al ex. Ad amson, a native Ayr, has not yet b een found, although a number 01 ' boats have since b een on the look out for the body' The captain further states that the ship lies about two miles N.N.W. from Ronne, and one mile frent! the land, and on th e V e t ra Ud a R ee f. "N o su ch reef," says he, "was laid down in my chart, whic h was a new one I had bought in Greenock. It. is lost along w ith a ll th e rest of my charts, w 1 1 . 1% were in the longboat. I ha ve save d th e sb'P t papers. They were washed ashore in my 01 ,e 5 ,.: which was also in the longboat."

A frightful accident occurred at Wramplinglia lll mill, about seven miles from Norwich, on the morn ing of the 7th i ns t . Th e business was about to be a transferred from the tenant to the landlord, on that mo rn i ng M r . W. G aze , m ill wr i g ht, , e a Norwich, and his son, visited the m ill for purpose of making a valuation, &c. They W ei r, engaged in inspecting the machinery in what technically called the " cog-pit ;" when Mr. Ot" that he might the more easily examine some Pad titular point, seated himself on a beam esli e ,„ the " bridge-tree," b e t ween w hi c h and a ten 3 P''f' rary floor beneath (and within a few inches f ro each) there revolved, when that part of the world in motion, a heavy iron wheel in a horizon; position, kno w n as the connecting or intermedi s 'd wheel. As he sat, his legs were through the Oat; of the wheel, resting on the floor, which, as we 116 ,: v i0 said, was but a few inches below. Just at to moment the works began to move, and the noir . tunate man was drawn into the narrow space tween the wheel and the beam on which he In t o been sitting—a space certainly not more than tb re inches wide—and was crushed to death on the s P et. ~ The lower parts of his person were compl ete y broken to atoms, and had he not been held up by his son he would have been altogether so en °, pletely mangled as to leave no possibility of W i e n ; tification. An inquest was held on Wednesa% before Edward Press, Esq., when it appeared that at nine o'clock on the morning of the accident tot machinery was all stopped and the fire taken of the furnace. After examining the engine Mr. Gaze gave leave to get the steam up, and one uci the millers, named Ottaway, seeing Mr. Gaze sil t his son afterwards in dangerous positions amo n g'o the machinery, told them the engine was likely " draw off" as the steam got up. Mr. Gaze 1/ 0 wised his son to come out, and directly he had do % so the machinery began to move and the accic i t i o cccurred before Ottaway could lift the blow - va le to let the steam off. hat A Norwich engineer, named Slack, stated t; 0 the engine had no starting valve, as every eng l h - 0 cught to have, to shut off the communication of tea nglne and the boiler, the throttle valve being O w ft r - that purpose. The throttle valve appeared t° ag defective—so much so, that when steam ' l eo generated in the boiler, and the engine had be isle left any way-past' her centres, she would be lin o to draw on or start. A very light pressure of ste tt o would start her if the stones we re lightened off ea they were at this time. The engine having b ; 0 . worked all night the steam was soon got up ogalici Verdict, "Accidentally killed," Mr. Gaze, a il ° Mr. Slack both being of opinion that no 111°- at tached to any one.—Bury Post.
