Before the last Parliamentary session our commerce, our manu factures, and our agriculture, were under the ban of class legislation. That ban has been removed in defiance of the most enormous obstacles. With the arrival of 1849 the population of England will be invested with new liberties, will be endowed with prerogatives hitherto unknown, will receive a physical, social, and political advancement. That year will be one of the grandest epochs in the emancipation of millions : it will be held in perpetual and grateful remembrance. The provisions of a whole people will not then be --,!ndent 'upon the casualties of a single climate ; the if food will no longer fluctuate with the vicis th.e atmosphere or the deficiencies of vege i ash agriculture will be relieved from the protection, and its capacities will be developed by the emulation resulting t.w a m ---- petition. British manufactures r ,be hampered in their intercourse customers ; new markets will be n ; ,_their vast enterprise will extend from which they have been hereto- By the increased exertions of the t and tenant-farmers, the peasantry ,re :I a constant and remunerative em- By the additional demands upon the curers the operatives will obtain better op- ..unities for th e exereit•e of their industry ; capital will be embarked in a thousand propitious speculations fro m which it was previously Peatricted ; arti2uns and farm-labourers will find themselves no longer sustained by a merely casual occupation ; our more frequent intercourse with other nations will render our friendship more valuable, and, consequently, the preservation of peace will be more readily insured ; the prosperity of the empire will be no longer variable and intermittent, but will be established, for the first time, upon a healthy foundation ; no invidious preference will thenceforth be g. iven by the Legislature to the interest of ally one class ; but, beyond all, food will be abundant, nutritious, and accessible. This, we are aware, is an " oft-told tale," but we repel tt it fur a purpose. We repeat it, that we may thereky recall to public recollection the certain and magnificent advantages consequent upon the recent victory achieved in the British Parliament. We would for a moment revive to the world in so many words the vast and beneficent importance of the triumph of free-trade principles—a triumph the more inestimable because it was obtained over such prodigious and accumulated difficulties. The glory of this commercial conquest was not so much in its being gained in spite of the amazing wealth, the ter ritorial influence, the aristocratic power, and the Par liamentary animosity leagued together against it, as it was in being a conquest acquired over generations of misrule, and over prejudices than which none were ever more inveterate or universal. Who obtained this victory ? Who removed this ban ? Who dissipated this incubus ? Who van quished these prejudices ? Who abolished the per nicious sway exercised by this amazing wealth, this aristocratic influence, this Parliamentary animosity? We are by no means ungrateful for the exertions of many estimable men for the abrogation of the corn-laws and the opening of the ports. We would on no account depreciate the value of their services or detract (even by insinuation) from the importance of their different labours. We can never forget how valiantly, how consistently, how devotedly the Hon. CHARLES VILLIERS toiled for years in the cause of the people. We can never forget that he was pre eminently the popular champion in the days when free trade was a derision and a mockery. Neither can we forget the labours of Mr. BRIGHT, of the Right Hon. MILNER GIBSON, of Colonel Tnoursori, of EBENEZER ELLIOT, of W. J. Fox, and of several others, who, by their eloquence, their reasoning, their poetry, and their pamphlets, contributed to increase the weight upon the lever by which so much was to be ultimately moved. Their claims upon the popular thankfulness cannot be overlooked; their exertions cannot be forgotten so readily ; their names are cherished in the hearts of the people. Bear ing these claims and these exertions distinctly in our recollection, we would, nevertheless, direct the attention of our countrymen to the paramount claims and predominant exertions of one man yet unmen tioned. We would remind our fellow-citizens, that as the late Prime Minister, Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, intimated on his memorable re signation, if credit be especially due to one individual in the realisation of those glorious boons, that individual is RICHARD COBDEN ; if the national gratitude is due to one benefactor, that benefactor is RICHARD COBDEN ; if the vanquishment of so many opponents is attributable particularly to one leader, that leader is RICHARD COBDEN. f So universal was the acquiescence in this opinion, that immediately on the passing of the great measures of 1846, it was determined to afford the Hon. Repre sentative of Stockport some tangible proof of the t gratitude and admiration with which he was regarded by Englishmen. It was remembered that to his un tiring zeal, to his persuasive and frequently superb oratory, to his consistent logic, and unanswerable arguments, were traceable more immediately the im pulse of the blow by which the fabric of Protection was overthrown. It was seen, moreover, that in striv ing for the good of the people, COBDEN had not only grievously neglected his private interests, but had actually injured his constitution. Every one was aware of his distinguished integrity, of his noble forgetfulness of self, of the purity of his patriotism, and the absorbing ardour of his benevolence. Every one knew well enough that he had laboured not for any pecuniary recompense, but for the happiness and prosperity of the people. It was deemed, however, incumbent upon the nation to bestow upon RICHARD COBDEN some substantial testimony of its gratitude, and thereby to testify to future patriots the readiness of the population to acknowledge their illustrious services even during life. The COBDEN testimonial has already nearly reached the sum of eighty thousand pounds. Nevertheless, it is but right that this testi moni4 should be completed forthwith. Further delays y would be ungraceful. The sum, we have i l just bserved, is something approaching to eighty thous d p oun d s . Of it se lf it i s a sp l en did amount, no do bt ; but it is insufficient as a voluntary offer ing to \ such a man. It is insufficient, because the original proposition of those with whom it originated is remembered. Let us not on such an occasion, in celebthion of such a victory, in honour of such a _noliticil champion—let us not haggle about certain additional guineas and shillings. Another twenty thousatid, and the testimonial will be a hundred thousa:;:d pounds. Surely we will not tender our hero lo is than a plum ? Another twenty thousand. 1 and to oin ring indicative of the love which England bears t ) RIC H A RD C OBDE N will be complete. Mr. COBDEN is now travelling through Continental Europe for the renovation of his health, but his fame has pre ceded him everywhere. In Paris he has re ceived i the welcome of a liberator ; in Bordeaux he has met with the enthusiasm of the agriculturists ; in Ali:Arid, in Seville, and in Cadiz, Spain has received him with more than merely idle acclam: 'dons. Mr. COBDEN will be speedily returnii ag homewards : what better opportunity for the presentation of the testimonial of English gratitude ? Let him, fellow-countrymen, be thus welcomed on his arrival ! We call upon you, as you price the blessings conferred upon you, and your children, and your children's children by the eman cipation: of commerce, we call upon you, as you appreciate its importance and revere the hand by which you have been thus nobly endowed, to welcome RICHARD COBDEN with that most appro priate welcome—to realise at once the comparative trifle by which the hundred thousand pounds will be completed—and at some fitting banquet (say in the scene of so many free-trade demonstrations, Covent- garden Theatre, or elsewhere), to present that testi mony to one of the greatest of our national bene factors. Remember, our success is no common one, and, beyond all, remember that RICHARD COBDEN merits no ordinary reception on his return from his European pilgrimage ! We trust that Lord PALMERSTON, to whose energy and decision we are indebted for the possession of the island of Lubuan, will not permit the affairs of Spain and of Cracow entirely to engross his attention. It is in the East we must seek for a counterpoise to redress the balance of power, and we must seek for that counterpoise not by the triumphs of war or diplomacy, but ley the peaceful triumphs of commerce. The Eastern Archipelago consists of 12,000 islands, ac, cording to the Arabian authors (and there i 3 no reason to believe that their account 3 are in this respect at all exaggerated), inhabited by an industrious and essentially commercial people, who are anxious to exchange the rich produce of their islands--gold camphor,' gums, spices, and, though last not least, birds'-nests, for articles of British manufacture. Some of our readers may be inclined to smile when we mention birds'-nests as articles of traffic, but these birds'-nests form a most important article of commerce in the trade with China, where they are con sidered as the greatest delicacy, and where birds'-nest soup is held in even higher estimation than turtle soup is among the nations of the west. These birds' nests, which in China fetch immense prices, would be wil lingly exchanged by the natives of the islands for British manufactures, and thus, through our trade with the Celestial Empire, might be made the means of opening to us an immense market for British manufactures among the islands of the Archipelago of the Indian Ocean. In addition to cultivating friendly and commercial relations with the inhabitants of these islands, and in enabling us to do so, the possession of Lubuan as a naval station and a commercial empo rium, and more especially (abounding as it does in the richest :coal-mines), as a steam-packet sta tion, will be invaluable, every effort should be used to open a communication with the Japanese empire. An embassy, cn a scale of magnificence worthy of the great empire from which it is sent, should be at once dispatched to the Court of Jeddo. A mission of this nature should have been dispatched by Lord ABERDEEN at the close of the Chinese war. That opportunity having been neglected, we hope Lord l'amasusToN will now take advantage of one equally valuable, namely, the giving up of Chusan, notwithstanding the non-fulfilment by the Chinese of all the articles of the treaty they had entered into with us. This fact, so honourable to us, is well known to the Court of Jeddo, and cannot but produce a deep im pression in our favour, and render the Japanese far from averse to enter into a treaty with a mighty and powerful nation, which so scrupulously observes its engagements. That such favourable dispositions towards England exist in Japan there can be little doubt. Still less doubt can there be that Lord PALMERSTON is both able and willing to take advan tage of them. _ The St. Petersburgh Gazette announces that the Russian troops, on the 16th of October, defeated SCHAMYL, killing 800 of his followers, and taking four pieces of cannon, 21 caissons, several colours, 300 prisoners, and the axe which was always carried before him. Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. They confirm the intelligence, which appeared exclusively:in The Sun of Thursday, of the defeat of SA DA BAN DEIRA, by CAZAL, near Chaves. They also publish a letter from Lisbon, which states that Colonel WYLDE had gone to Oporto to mediate between the Junta and the QUEEN, and that there was every prospect of his efforts being crowned with success. The Clamor Publico publishes a letter from Man resa of the 13th, stating that a Carlist band of two hundred men had appeared in Catalonia. Their war cry is— " Carlos VI.! The Constitution of 1837! Death to the tributary system !" The Carlists are persuaded, adds the same epistle— "That in a few days they will dispose of a formidable force, seeing what the feelings of the neighbouring country people are. It is probable that we shall be hold a renewal of the melancholy scenes of the last civil war." Mr. HENDERSON, the agent of the Spanish bond holders, had bad several interviews with Senor Mori the Finance Minister, and was well pleased with bis reception. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Journal des Debuts copies from the Austrian Observer, of the 20th, an article of enormous length, which is evidently put forth by the three Powers as an official justification of their conduct in destroying the independence of Cracow. This article is only an amplification of the manifesto of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, which has been already published, and is, to use the words of the Journal des Dihats," a mere piece of special pleading in favour of the worst cause ever known." The National of the same day contains an address from the Democracy of France to the Democracy of Europe, in the name of the Committee of the National and the Reforme. This address, which is signed by the Abbe LAMENNAIS, MM. DE COURTAIS, LEDRU ROLLIN, GUINARD, GOUDCHAUX, FERDINAND FLO CON, and ARMAND MARRAST, and which is drawn up by the Abbe LAMENNAIS, is to be translated into every European language, and 500,000 copies of it circulated in every country of Europe. After pro testing against the extinction of the nationality of Poland, it calls upon the democracies of all nations to rise, and thus addresses her oppressors and tyrants : "We thank you. By tearing the last veil that con cealed you, you have dissipated the last illusion of minds too confiding, removed the last pretext for cowardly in action from the timid and feeble, and hastened your ruin and the downfal of 3 our detested sway. There existed similar compacts, denominated treaties by you, which covered your conspiracies against the human family, doomed by you to eternal slavery. You have torn those treaties. You have abolished all positive right; you proclaim the natural right, the imprescriptible right, which guarantees an existence to every nation, as well as to every individual, to be null and void in your eyes ; the right of force is the only right you recognise. Let force, then, decide between you and us! In the insane rride inspired to you by your material power, which we dread not, because we believe in another power —in the power of real right, in the power of duty—you declare war against all Lations, against society itself, which only lives by duty and right. Well, we accept that war. War on those conditions becomes a holy war, and is to us synonymous with victory, otherwise God would not be God. It will no doubt produce martyrs, but, after the struggle, you will appear humble, not before a Szela and his sanguinary instrument, but before social justice, which is both upright and inexorable. There will be walling and gnashing of teeth; there also will be the pure joy elicited in the hearts of nations by the assurance of a better fate. Democrats of all countries, brethren united by the same faith and the same hope, combine your efforts in one common and unrelenting action. Hoist amidst enslaved Europe the standard of emanci pation. Let nations startle at its sight, and, by an unani mous exertion, burst asunder their fetters. The heur has come for everybody to perform his duty as a man. To-day the combat—to-morrow the triumph Rise, then!" In the National of Saturday there appears a reply to this energetic appeal, signed by the Central Polish Committee of the Democratic Society, on behalf of 1,462 of their countrymen, which concludes thus : " You have seen Poland protest, arms in hand, on a hundred fields of battle ; you will again see her do SA 7 oho is propn rine fa?' Prop.'s strugs-lco, and the last crime perpetrated will hasten the hour of her freedom. The Vienna treaties no longer exist. That compact of spoliation, which never bound Poland, has been destroyed by those who made it. Instead of it, arises the alliance of nations; and it arises more powerful than ever. None can break it up." The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho rising the Minister for Foreign Affairs to open an extraordinary credit of 290,000 francs, to defray the expense of extraordinary missions. The same official journal contains a notice of the Minister of Marine, announcing that a supply of 4,000,000 kilogrammes of coal will be adjudicated at Rochfort on the 19th of December, 1846, and that a lot of 00,000 kilogrammes of coal for coke, another of 4,000 hectolitres of slack for forges, a third of 500,000 kilogrammes of Welsh coal, and a fourth of 4,000,000 kilogrammes of sea coal, and 400,000 kilo grammes of new English cast iron, will be likewise adjudicated at Nantes on the 26th of the same month. The Siecle in commenting on the extraordinary credit again opened to the Minister for Foreign Affairs asks, "And what have we bought with all this mo ey ? The contempt of England, and outrages from the Northern Powers, which our diplomacy has not foreseen, and against which it has not had the courage to protest." The Presse of Friday contradicts the rumour that had appeared in some of the other papers, to the effect that Count MOLE had had an interview with the ICING in the early part of the week, and says that Count MoLzhas not been in Paris, and will not be there until December 10. On Saturday, however, Count MOLE, who, according to the Presse, was to have remained at Champlatreaux until the 10th De cember, arrived in the capital, and immediately after wards had a long interview with Count MONTALITET, he head of the Civil List Department, the confidential agent of LOUIS PHILIPPE in all political affairs, and who was a member of the Cabinet in the last MOLE Ministry. Count MONTALIVET, before seeing Count MOLE, had a long interview with M. DUCHATEL, the Minister of the Interior, between whom and 111 GUIZOT differences are known to exist. Should Count Mots form a Ministry, he will, it is said have the support of M. TRIERS and his party. BOURSE—PAsm, SATURDAY, Nov. 28.

It is of rude and simple construction, the centre being hollowed out, of a circular shape, and somewhat resembling an in verted punch bowl. It is conjectured to be nearly 2,000 years old, and is now in the possession of Mr. George Emsley.— Yorkshireman.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUBSDAY moRNTINO, DECEMBER 1, 1845. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of last Night.) In the Liverpool market on Faturday the sales of Cotton were 8,000 bales, of whi▪ ch 3,000 were on s p ecu l a tion. The sales comprised 6,000 bales of American at sd. to 61d. per lb., and 1,200 Egyptian at 7id. to BF]. The market was very firm. Shares and scrip rather im proved in price. It is with much regret that we have learnt this morn ing, that at a meeting of spinners and manufacturers held at Ashton at the close of last week, it was agreed for a limited time to work short hours. At Oldham and its vicinity the principle has been fully adopted. With weather such as that wh ich has j us t se t i n , th e re duction in the rate of wages wi▪ ll he a most material draw back upon the comforts of the labouring population, which are not very bounteous even when the mills are at full work. There is a feature in the state of the Cot ton Market at Liverpool which is rather important at the present juncture. The rage for spe cu l a tion in the staple has fallen off very considerably, and should the next accounts from the United States prove more satis factory, as respects the yield of the n ew crop , pr i ces mus t recede and increased activity be imparted to the manu facturing districts. At Mark- lane to-day the price of Wheat has been reduced by ls. per quarter, there having been a good supply from the home countries. It i s now p re tty con fidently believed that prices of Grain have seen their highest for this year at least. There are, as yet, no later accounts from the United States or Canada. It is very confidently believed, how ever, that late in the day some advices will come to hand by the Halifax steamer, which is now entirely due. In the Stock Exchange, th e value of C onso l s i s scarce ly so high now, as it opened in the morning. The price for the account has ruled from 951- to 956, and for money at 95 4 1 . The Three - and-a-quarter per Cents. Reduced, are at 951 to 96, and th e Th ree per C ents . Reduced are at 9 3 1. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is at 7s. to 10s. _ The quotation for Brazil Stock to-day, is 844, and for Mexican 214, and j for the A ccount . P ortuguese are at 37k; Spanish at 264 4; the Three per Cents. at 311; the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 95; while the Four per Cent. Certificates have advanced from 911 to 92i.

Real del Monte Unregd THE VISIT OF THE COURT TO ARUNDEL CASTLE.— A detachment of 36 troopers from the 12th Lancers, from Hounslow Barracks, under command of Lieutenant Sutton, arrived on Saturday at the George Hotel, Ports mouth, to form a royal escort to her Majesty and Court on their journey to Arundel Castle to-day. Twenty horses from the royal stables, one carriage, and a number of domestics, arrived at the George on Sunday morning. THE LAST HIT.—A man is doing a smashing business by letting post-coaches run over him, and then commencing suits for damages. He has cleared 1,172 dollars in the last nine months.—American paper. THE EXPEDITION OF GENERAL FLORES.—The ship Glenelg, one of General Flores's squadron, arrived at Blackwall in tow of three steamers, and was safely moored there on Saturday morning last at 9 o'clock, having been brought from Gravesend for greater security, by order of the Board of Customs. Mr. Ferguson, the well-known river pilot, was entrusted with the manage ment of the ship in her passage up the river ; and Mr. Forsayth and other officers of the Customs, as well as Inspector Evans and another officer of the Thames Police, were, we understand, on board. The Glenelg, as she lies in the river, is a very gallant looking ship ; and if she, together with the Monarch and Neptune steamers, be condemned, which we have reason to think is all but certain, the ambitious views of Flores on the quiet state of Ecuador will, doubtless, by the loss of such a squadron, be effectually crushed for the present, if not for ever. ROBBERY OF DEEDS, NOTES, GOLD, &c. —On Thursday sennight an extensive robbery was effected during the night at the residence of Thomas Assheton Smith, Esq., of Tidworth House, about nine miles from Andover. Between the hours of twelve and six in the morning some person entered the library of the mansion, and stole therefrom a strong box or chest, in which Mr. Smith kept his deeds, money, and other valuables. One of the female domestics, on coming down at half-past five the following morning, perceived the library window open. She immediately gave information to the footman, whose duty it was to have shut the window before retiring to rest ; but as Mr. Smith was in the habit of generally taking the chest to his bed- room with him, the footman coolly replied to her, " Perhaps master has done so to-night '• ' but at half-past seven suc h was found not to have been done. It was at first supposed that the robbery had been committed by an entrance through the window ; therefore, a diligent search was commenced immediately by the inmates through the house, outbuildings, shrubberies, plantations, &c., but all to no effect. Mr. Smith then ordered his carriage, went over to Andover, and gave information to Mr. Van Santen, the superintendent o f po li ce, who was as quickly as possible at Tidworth, and immediately proceeded to examine the premises, when he dis covered that the window and shutters could not have been broken open from the outside, and he was of opi nion that the thief was in the house. Mr. Van Santen himself, on searching the premises, found the chest, with it s valuable contents, concealed in a boiler in an out house. This outhouse stands in such a situation that anything there placed might have been removed any night after the family had retired to rest. The box was suffered to remain where it was found for some time, and the place was watched by the police, but no one came to fetch it away, and the place being so near the servants' hall that every domestic might know of there being a watch set; the box, with all its valuable contents was, therefore, removed to a more secure place of safety. On Saturday, an examination and search of some of the ser vants took place at the mansion, before Sir John Pollen, one of the county magistrates, Mr. Lamb, the clerk, and Mr. Superintendent Van Santen; but a report of what took place might tend to defeat the ends of justice. In the chest was Mr. Smith's wilt, deeds to the amount of thousands, fifty 101. Bank of England notes, a quantity of gold, and other valuables. The Marquis of Ailes bury, Earl and Lord Bruce, and other noblemen were at Tidworth on Saturday, to inquire into the circum stances, and to congratulate Mr. Smith on the pro perty having been so fortunately recovered.—Bristol Mirror. 111 26 1 ,4 26% 5 1 4; 37% 37: 23% 23 1 4 18'% 8 10 20 18 IA 151;6 29% 18 1 / 2 31 7 1 / 8 18 1 % 4'ys 13 1 4 2% 344 ..... 4 1 / 8 17% 2% 8% 41/.2 ~. 251./2 THE INDIAN MAILS. ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 15.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Oriental arrived here on the evening of the 13th instant, with 120 passengers. She was de tained four days at Malta by the non-arrival there of that portion of the Indian mail sent vid France; conse quently it is only the Southampton portion of the mail, with the dates to the 23d of October, which has arrived here, and which went on the same night to Cairo and Suez, there to be put on board the steamer Hindostan for India. It is expected that the Hindostan will sail from Suez to-morrow evening, or at the latest on the morning of the 17th. The passengers who came by the Hindostan, and have paid their passage all the way through from India to Southampton, have been very impatient at the delay they experienced at Alexandria; some wished to have their passage-money returned, others demanded that their hotel expenses be paid for them by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's agents, who did not seem in clined to meet them in any way. Those passengers from India who took their berths only as far as Alexandria were very fortunate, as they proceeded to Trieste the day after their arrival here by the Austrian steamer, which sailed on the 11th. Her Majesty's steamer Ardent arrived here on the 13th inst., to wait for Lieutenant Waghorn's dispatches from Bombay, which she will convey to Trieste, to make the third trial that route. Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who arrived here from Constantinople on the Bth inst., proceeded to Cairo in one of the Viceroy's own steamers, which has been placed at the disposal of the Prince to convey his Royal Highness to the upper country. It is supposed by the delay in the return of the Ariel to Alexandria, that the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany do not intend to run that steamer again to Mar seilles, in opposition to Lieutenant Waghorn's trials via Trieste; and it is, moreover, said that the Ariel is to take the place of the Iberia in the conveyance of the In dian mail between Malta and Alexandria. The weather has been very stormy here during the last week, and the French steamer from Marseilles, due on the 11th, is only just reported in sight. The Oriental sails this day at noon for Malta and Southampton, with forty-five passengers and the Cal cutta mail of the Bth of October, which has been lying here since the 10th inst. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Nov. 24.—The Chamber of Repre sentatives was engaged to-day with the discussion of the budget of affairs, the general debate was closed, and the first chapter adopted. In the general discussion Messrs. Cuf and Verlaegen obtained the mission of the Prince de Chimey to Rome, as Envoy Extraordinary pro tempore, considering that under this title the mission might be as long as the Prince might choose to make it. The Minister for Foreign Affairs stated that the mission of the Prince de Chimey to Italy, were rendered necessary by the accession of his Holiness Pius IX., and by the pro ject of a treaty to be concluded between Belgium and the Neapolitan Government. The Minister proved that the retribution allowed to that envoy does not exceed that generally granted to Er voys Extraordinary, and explained that the Prince de Chimey had been obliged to go to Paris, in order to confer with the Serro Ca priole, the Neapolitan Ambassador. A discussion arose on the refusal of the Government to ratify an increase of the " Octroi" imposed on foreign brandy by the municipal council of Brussels. The Min isters for Foreign Affairs and the Interior explained that the increase of duties would be offer -ive to the French Government, which had hitherto been very fa vourable to the representatives of Belgium, but which will not hear of this increase, they added that not only this increase of duty was contrary to the good under standing between the two nations, but that it wo ild be impolitic at a moment when France is probably going to maintain the ancient lines for cast iron. BRUSSELS, Nov. 27.—The Chamber of Representa tives to-day resumed the discussion of the articles of the budget for foreign affairs. In reply to some observations of M. Ory, the Minister for Foreign Affails, , leclared that negotiations were on foot for the conclusion of treaties between Belgium and Spain, and also between Belgium and Brazil. The Moniteur contains a royal decree introducing some modifications relative to steam-engines; this decree contains a complete system of police regulations relative to fixed steam-engines of every kind as well as to loco motives.—Brussels papers, Nov. 28. VIENNA, Nov. 21.—1 n the last number of the Grenz loten, we find the following article :—The accounts from Galicia are extremely unsatisfactory. If anything can save us from new disorders in the following winter, it will tie the scarcity of ready money and the scarcity of provisions in Galicia. The distress and failure of crops, which have afflicted that unhappy country for two years, ❑ow added the burden of the quartering the troops, which will be rendered still more heavy by the addition of three more regiments, which have orders to march to Galicia. The military are quartered in the country in small divisions, according to the size of the village. In addition to this, the peasant must be driven, by force, into the fields, to cultivate them ; he performs his work in a slovenly manner ; he rather ruins the land, than cultivates the estate for the nobles, which, in his opinion belongs to him. DUTCH MAIL. VIENNA, Nov. 18.—We learn that a law will be shortly published with respect to the abolition of the Corvees in Galicia. It is said that the Archduke Stephen of Bohemia, where he has become a favourite among all classes of people, will soon leave Prague, and take the place of the Archduke Louis in the cabinet of the Em peror. A Bourgrave is to be appointed in Bohemia, which post is to be confided to Count Stadion. FRANKFORT, Nov. 22.—1 t is slid uncertain whether Cracow will remain a free city, like Brody, or whether it will be included in the jurisdiction of the A.ustrian Customs. The merchants of Cracow are very important purchasers at the fairs of Frankfort or Leipsig. It is hoped that Prussia, the most important state of the Zollverien, when it was decided to abolish the Republic, has taken care to provide for the interest of commerce which is already so restricted in the eastern provinces. FRANKFORT, Nov. 24.—The Vienna Gazette publishes a commercial treaty between Austria and the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. By this treaty the differential du ties on the productions of the two countries are to be abolished, and an entire freedom of trade and naviga tion between them to be established. The Council of Administration of Warsaw has given notice' that the existing duty on coffee: of fifteen silver roubles per cwt. shall be placed on an equality with the duty levied on that article in Russia, viz. nine silver roubles and twenty-five copees. The Cologne Gazette at length breaks the silence which it has hitherto observed relative to the affairs of Cracow. It endeavours to prove that France and Eng land have no right to attack the measures adopted by the three northern powers. The author of this article, after having observed that, in fact, Cracow had for a long time no more than a shadow of independence; after having insinuated in the second place, that Cracow was no more free than the lonian islands are at present under the protection of England, continues as follows: "By what right do France and England complain of the violation of the rights of nations ? Is not Algeria also a free country, which the conqueror treads ;.under foot in contempt of the laws of humanity ? Have the Cossacks treated Poland in a more barbarous manner than the inventors of the razzias treat the women and children of unhappy Africa ? and have they not the same right to liberty and independence ? We do not mean to justify the partition of Poland, but it is not for the Guizots and the Palmerstons to reproach us with it. We do not pretend that our Ministers and statesman do better than France or England ; but we affirm that they do not act worse." THE lIAGUE, Nov. 25.—His Highness Duke Her mann of Saxe Weimar, who has passed some days in this town, set out early this morning for Rotterdam, whence he will continue his journey by way of Belgium and France. . 01 /s Nov. 26.—His Majesty the Ring left us this morning to go to Soetsdylc. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hesse arrived here to-day from Antwerp.—Dutch Papers, Nov. 28. A WOVEN MOUSE.—A few days ago a weaver, named Peat, in the employ o f M essrs. Dover, Young husband, and Co., woollen ialtisti m ti stafeurl from h e mn r at s do , t Mhhdei dropped l ofl l p b op e o c er di cloth; e. butoeu arr tKh whetheree s c w e i i c l k i nlgh a eo c r t u u nh a ra l o li t mu w ra o l ad v te e e is w v l e ae a n y a mu n f t i i a t p u n c together a mystery. The little captive, however, was taken out alive from its woolly net, and restored to li berty, without apparently having sustained the slightest injury.— Preston Chronicle. A THIEF DROWNED BY HIS PLUNDER.—On Thurs day last, as a man named George Harding was attempt ing to escape, by means of a boat, from the yard of Mr. Kennett, railway contractor, Bristol, he over balanced himself, and fell into the water. The weight of the stolen iron upon his person caused him to sink to the bottom, and before he could be got out life was extinct. FOREIGN POTATOES.—The arrivals of potatoes from abroad during the past week have comprised the follow ing: --The Gypsy,. from Jersey, brought 45 tons, the produce of that island; the Ruding, from Oporto, 10 baskets of Portuguese produce; the Johns, from Rouen, the large quantity of 135 tons, the, growth of France; the Giraffe, fro m R o tt er d am , 20 baskets, of Dutch pro duce; the Faith, from Rouen, 105 tons, of French pro duce; the Charles, from Gravelines, 50 tons, also of French produce; the Perseverance, from Dunkirk, 14 3 ,- tons, the produce of Normandy; the Ocean, from Rot terdam, 4 hampers, 6 baskets, and 12 bags, of Dutch produce; the Rob Roy, from St. Petersburgh, 225 blgs, the production of Russia; the Sir Robert Peel, from Rotterdam, 6 bags, of Dutchfproduce; and the Artemus, from St. John's, Newfoundland, 10 barrels, the growth of that British province of North America. It will be observed that this list of the principal arrivals during the past week comprises supplies from France, Holland, Russia, Normandy, Portugal, and the Channel island first mentioned, and from which latter place we have re ceived parcels of the vegetable on former occasions. Of them, those from France are especially noticeable on account of their extent, and the individual importation from Russia on account of its increased extent, and from Portugal owing to its partial or entire novelty. With respect to the arrival from Newfoundland, we are not aware that a similar one has before taken place, and, although trifling in quantity, the importation, on ac count of its novelty, would appear to possess a consi derable degree of interest, and to be worthy of particu lar and separate notice. STOPPAGE OF FACTORIES AT PRESTON.—During last week no less than thirteen cotton mills have been closed at Preston, in consequence of water having ben let off from the canal, from which several mills are sup plied with water, to enable the Police Commissioners to enlarge the culvert which lies under the canal, and which forms part of the common town sewer.—Manches fer Examiner.
