HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning .. 24 minutes after 4. I Evening .. 46 minutes after 4. filorrninff nit ing all our anticipations. The Portuguese conceive themselves to have been not merely irredeemably in sulted by their present rulers, but to have had all their dearest rights as men, emancipated from the thrallom of feudality, shaken to the very foundations. Among the many indications of the disposition with which the present emeutes are conducted, the dispatches of the valorous chieftain SA DA BANDEIRA are about the most significant. The recklessness of tone as sumed by this insurgent captain, while it indicates a most decided enthusiasm for the cause of the revo lutionists, evinces at the same time a supreme indif ference to the displeasure of the Sovereign whose forces are leagued together for his destruction and the subjugation of his fellow-countrymen. Reading one of those independent documents we are naturally reminded of the spirit in which HAMLET scorned the frowns of his father-in-law, with that contemptuous couplet:— LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1846. " And if the King like not the comedy, W hy, then, belike he likes it not, pardie So confident are the popular commanders, both in the integrity of their cause and the unanimity of the popu lation in their favour, that they appear to have actually alarmed the Loyalists into a trepidation which will inevitably be productive of fatal conse quences, unless the army of SALDANHA and his asso ciates be swelled by foreign battalions. According to our latest information the British squadron in the Tagus was held in readiness to receive and defend Queen MARIA and her royal relatives in case of any sudden and alarming emergency. From this arrange ment it would appear that serious alarm was expe rienced in the Palace at Lisbon as to the result of the civil war which had been aroused in Portugal by its ignorant and debasing policy. That the animosities of the insurgents against the existing form of government should continue to be of the deadliest character, is scarcely sur prising, when we consider the despotic reprisals ' and enormous penalties by which they have been opposed. An adventitious lustre and an additional importance has been imparted to the recent disturb ances, by the fact of certain amongst the most in fluential of the nobility having identified themselves with the insurgents. Under the championship of DAS ANTAS, Of SA DA BANDEIRA, of CASTRO DAIRE, Of DA TAIPA, Of FRIAS, and Of JOIE ESTEYAO, have assembled not merely vast multitudes of guerillas, in communication with a number of juntas, but many of the largest territorial proprietors and sonic of the most illustrious of the national aristocracy. The stringent measures by which the Goverment have endeavoured to thwart the intentions of the popu lace, and to punish their more distinguished supporters, have only tended to consolidate the power of their antagonists, and to render the in fluence of the sceptre more than ever contemptible. By depriving the noblemen, who have rendered them selves thus obnoxious of their titles, and thereby re ducing them to the rank of private individuals, and by ordaining that the armed peasantry shall be shot immediately on their capture, and after the merest mockery of a military investigation, they are driving the insurgents to a state of desperation that nothing but victory or annihilation can ter minate. Propitious as are the prospects of the people, they must remember that their conquest must not only be over the soldiery in the pay of the SOVEREIGN, but over the prejudices of the minority of their fellow-citizens, and we fear, besides, over the prowess and stratagies of foreign armies. Otherwise their triumph will be neither complete nor beneficial. Let them reflect that, supposing DAS ANTAS to be victorious over SALDANHA, the Spanish forces will be still upon the frontiers, or will have actually advanced into the kingdom. Let them be true to themselves, moderate, valiant, collected, and Portugal may be speedily extri cated from its present dilemma. will be encouraged to improve and drain his lands while the man of less means, who is obliged to look to his daily labour for his daily bread, will have ample employment afforded to him at his very threshold, and will be enabled to indulge in the pleasing thought that, while receiving fair wages for his work, he is increasing the fertility of the soil and ameliorating his own future condition. It is truly stated in the report of Lord DEVON'S Commission, in speaking of the small farmer, whose only capital is the labour of himself and family, that— " If you show him in what manner the application of that labour may be rendered most conducive to his own comfort and permanent benefit, and assist him with money or materials, which his labour cannot supply you will generally find the Irish peasant ready to co-operate with you in effecting improvements, bene ficial alike to himself and to the country." Lord HERTFORD has taken upon himself to do this in the most useful manner—he is ready to provide the money and materials. The peasant so assisted will not be found wanting. If his Lordship's offer was restricted to making the necessary advance it would be extremely valuable, but, further than that, he offers as a free gift a sum which may amount to 120,0001. sterling ; for it is said that the lands re quiring draining on his estate exceed 60,000 acres. Lori HERTFORD will, however, receive an ample equivalent for this large expenditure in the happi ness and prosperity of his tenantry, the increased security for his rents, which that prosperity w ill afford, and the improved value of his property. The existence of the Portuguese monarchy is now staked upon the precarious denouement of a revolu tion. Although, as we have already intimated, the principal leaders of the insurrection have not committed themselves to the abolition, or even to the temporary susp ens i on , o f th e sovereign authority, it is evident that the recent be haviour of the QUEEN'S Government has been so peculiarly rigorous as to transform the comparative lenity, or loyalty, or whatever that shadow of sub ordination may be designated, into a most intense and predominating sense of injury. The minute vestige of affection. for her MAJESTY, which had hitherto survived the alternations of the different Cabinets and the vicissitudes of the popular cause, has utterly disappeared. MARIA DA GLORIA is es tranged from the hearts of the Portuguese. When the protracted misrule which tint misguided lady has persisted in supporting in direct opposition to the will of the population is remembered ; when the execrable domination of the CABRALS is borne in recollection ; when we call to mind the unconstitutional influence acquired and exercised by the royal pedagogue DIETZ, it cannot be matter of astonishment that the nation has ultimately risen to wreak its vengeance upon those who have been in strumental in the perpetration of so many grievous outrages upon the community. It cannot be mat ter of astonishment that a civilised race should look with jealous suspicion upon a Govern ment whose course has been so wonderfully devious, and the sinuosity of whose policy has interfered so marvellously with the general pros perity, and placed the liberties and rights of the citizens in such imminent jeopardy . It is possible that much further encroachments might have been made upon the fundamental principles of the Constitution of Portugal without inciting the multitude to any overt exhibition of its indignation, if the aid of a foreign Ministry had not been summoned to the assistance of a shame less Legislature. By that imprudent and flagitious proceeding the downfal of the court minions has been precipitated. The perils by which the young SOVEREIGN is now encompassed have been evoked by the sorcery of her own unpopular sway. The conflagration by which the monarchical power is threatened with destruction has been enkindled by the abrupt collision of her own and the na tional will, by the continual friction of opinion, especially amongst the bourgeoisie, and which friction is attributable solely to the unwelcome character of tha Government. Amongst the many plans which have been adopted by landed proprietors in Ireland for the purpose of affording employment and rendering assistance to their tenantry, few have been of a more extensive or beneficial character than that which has lately been promulgated by the Marquis of HERTFORD. The more extensive farmer is thereby encouraged to undertake works which are calculated, not only to provide ample work for the inhabitants of the district, but to in crease the value of the lands, to bring them into im proved cultivation, to multiply their productive qua lities, and lead to a vast addition to the supply of food which can be raised to meet the exigencies of the country. Unfortunately there are few connected with Ireland who have at their disposal the enormous means, the princely wealth of the Noble Marquis. Every man, however, has something in his power, and al though the attempt must naturally be on a more moderate scale than that proposed by Lord HERT FORD something of a similar description may be attempted which would, undoubtedly, prove beneficial to all parties concerned. The landlord who is unable to make the necessary advances from his own re sources, can obtain the national aid by availing him self of the provisions of the Million Act, or if he is but the owner of an entailed estate, and thus deprived of its benefits for the present, he can, by giving the required undertaking, procure the necessary funds, under the Labour-rate Act. True it is, that the loan must be repaid within ten years in place of 22, and that the instalments will fall more heavily on his property ; but by inducing a sufficient number of his brother landowners within the electoral division to co-operate with him, and to apply for a sum equal to the amount that would fall thereon under the Labour-rate, he will escape from the burden of any contribution to the expenses of works of a useless and unproductive character, and have the money advanced by the State expended in a much more beneficial manner. Lord HERTFORD justly conceives that the first duty of a landlord is to provide employment for the people belonging to his estate. The most valuable mode of employing that labour is on the land itself. It would be bad policy to pauperise the inhabitants, by making them objects of charity, the recipients of bounty for which they are to make no return. Such a course would destroy the manly pride, that independence of cha racter which is the fairest possession of the sturdy yeoman : deprive hint thereof—let him lose his self respect, and he must inevitably sink in the social scale ; he would on every occasion seek for gra tuitous gifts in place of an opportunity of earning a support for himself and family, by the exercise of his honest industry, and after a short continuance in such a course, he would become utterly demoralised, a burden and weight on the resources of the country in place of being the producer and creator of national wealth. Let it not be supposed that we are opposed to re ductions being made by the landlords to their tenants under present circumstances ; far from it. The rent payable out of any quantity of land can only be fairly regarded as the value of the produce thereof, after setting apart a certain portion for the cost of cultivation, and the payment of county and other charges that must in the first instance be paid and satisfied, and also a reasonable support for the farmer and his family. If that produce should wholly fail—should it be destroyed or damaged to such an extent as to be insufficient to pay the expense of seed and tillage, there is a just and fair reason why the proprietor should participate in the loss of the occu pier, and if the full value is paid for the land a certain portion should be freely forgiven, and not kept hang ing over, a weight that must restrain the energies, and cripple the resources of the hard-working man, from which it may be impossible for him ever to extricate himself. The inquiry is still going on into the frightful ex plosion in Mr. PARKER'S colliery, at Oldbury, by which so many human beings were deprived of life, We hope it will not be suffered to close till after the calamity shall have been most searchingly investi gated in every conceivable shape. The scene of the disaster itself should be minutely inspected, and men of competent skill and science be called upon to examine the locality, and report as to whether in their judgment prudent and proper precautions had been taken, to generate a sufficiency of air through the several passages of the mine, where operations were carried on. We know that in subterranean works the expenses attendant upon the adoption of the requirements for the preser vation of human life are exceedingly heavy ; and there is reason to think, that this consideration, slighted by the promptings of avarice, and the know ledge of their always being surplus labour at com mand, where population is so abundant as it is in this country, have frequently spurred on speculators to prosecute their undertakings, heedless of the en dangerment to life engendered by a heartless and repulsive economy. We would not impute that such a selfish spirit animated the proprietors of the mine in question. From the evidence of Mr. THOMAS HAYNES, the mine surveyor, it appears that " one road had been driven at an ex pense of 3001., for the purpose of getting a greater body of air into the present workings? But we desire, on public principle, that such and other matters should be judged of by disinterested persons of experience and suitable intelligence. It is necessary that, in these cases, the public should be satisfied that the lives of their fellow-creatures have not been wantonly risked. And this is the more imperative, because ignorant and poor men, desirous of employment, bestow their toil on work, surrounded by occult dangers, which can only be properly esti mated by persons of geological, engineering, and chemical attainments. Humanity itself dictates that where people are hurried into eternity in such num bers as we have of late witnessed, by explosion and other accidents in the different mines throughout the country, their several causes should be jealously and rigidly investigated. Since steam has been so exten sively applied to locomotion, by sea and land, to stationary engines, and a variety of other purposes, the sacrifice of life has been fear ful. Public attention became aroused, and it was ascertained that many of the catastrophes were attributable more to ignorance than negligence. The consequence is, that a superior order of men, with qualifications duly examined into, has, for the most part, been appointed to superintend the vast ma chinery, on the skillful management of which thou sands of lives are momentarily dependent. But this improvement has been hitherto chiefly confined to steam-boats and railways. Against pure negligence, we have some check provided by the first law of nature, self-preservation ; for a man is not prone to be grossly negligent, where, either by acts of omission or commission on his part, his own life would probably be involved in the fate he might bring down upon his fellow-workmen. But, as against sheer ignorance, and its effects, which are occasionally so awful, particularly in subterranean undertakings, we have no such primary protection. The following evidence was given before the coroner at Oldbury on Friday : " William Clift, a miner, said, two months ago I worked in the pit for two days and part of another : it was much given to damp, but middling clear of sul phur ; it was the choke damp, and put the candle out. The third morning I went to the pit there was a side of work where I was full of sulphur. There was a head way driven oat of this side of work, and in it there v., as also much sulphur. I said to Holland, the • butty,' that I was dissatisfied about working on that side of the pit, because there was sulhur ; it kept getting worse, and I said that I shoul d like to have the lamp ;he (Holland) said he would take it ; he lighted it, and I went with him to the side of the work of which I had complained. .Holland tried the lamp, and said the place was fit to work in. I then took the lamp and tried it my self. I found that there was a great deal of sulphur. I then said to Holland that I would not work in that sulpur, if he would give me the pit. I told him I should go out of the pit, and I put on my clothes and went away." Mr. THOMAS HerNEs, the mine-surveyor, subse quently stated, that "he believed the explosion to have been occasioned by sulphur having congregated in a part where a portion of coal, attached to the roof, had broken down." Now, upon these facts, it appears to us, that a strong case of suspicion is made out, that Mr. Hor.- LAND —" the butty"—is not a person qualified to fill a situation where the grave responsibility rests of de ciding whether the atmosphere in a mine is in a fit state or not for men to work in, without danger to their lives. Two months ago, though HOL LAND had tried the air with the lamp, the man, CLlrr (who also tried it immediately , afterwards) was so dissatisfied with HOLLAND'S judg ment, that he actually put on his clothes and walked away ! Within eight weeks, in the very same pit, and from the congregation of sulphur (as believed by the surveyor), which caused such apprehension in the mind of CLIFT, this frightful accident has happened. IVe hope the wealthy owners of these collieries and the like undertakings will, for their own credit, look well into these things, and by employing as their subordinates (to whose superintendence the protec tion of the lives of thousands is committed), men only, whose steadiness of habit, good repute, acuteness of intellect, and education expressly adapted to mining operations, will afford the public the best guarantee against the repetition of so heart-rending an occur rence as the one to which we have drawn the atten tion of our readers. "We learn by letters from Rome that the Govern ment of the new POPE having found the finances of the country entirely ruined, in consequence of the disorders of the last Administration, is under an absolute necessity of having recourse to a loan. The confidence is so great in the present head of the State, that he has already received advantageous offers from several important houses. It is stated, that before concluding anything, he has called on Cardinal Gizzi to present him with an exact statement of the wants of the Treasury, and of the resources of the country. But the necessary documents have been exceedingly difficult to find, in consequence of the carelessness or ill-will of the provincial officers, who had not their accounts in proper order, and never supposed that the taxes were to be levied with exactitude. Cardinal Gizzi has, however, succeeded in drawing up a state ment, and in forming a plan for organizing the State finances. The result may be long in being arrived at, but the Government is determined to persevere, and carries with it the sympathy of all well-thinking persons. Lord HERTFORD offers a premium of 2/. for every acre of land, English measure, drained on his estate, according to the Deanston system, with stones or tiles, between this and the Ist of October next, sub ject to certain limitations in extent, according to the size of the farms. And he further proposes (in ad dition to the premium of 2/.) to advance such further sum as may be necessary to carry out the work wherever the small farmer may be unable to take advantage of the offer, by reason of his not having the means within himself; the additional sum only to bear interest at five per cent. Proportionate enco u ragement will also be given for sod draining in grazing and mountainous lands, where tiles or stones cannot easily be procured, and also for subsoili .ng, where draining may not be required. Rivers and watercourses will be cleaned out and deepened when ever necessary without any expense to the tenants.. The above are the principal points of the proposit ion made by the Noble Marquis, and it would be diffic to 'P e ak too 14 8 111 Y in its, favour. The large holder Everything portends some unprecedented catas trophe in the metropolis of Portugal, and the conse quent diffusion of some novel influence throughout the different provinces. The Augsburgh Gazette of the 15th states that the proclamation for incorporating Cracow with Austria has been prepared, and will be published almost im mediately. By the latest intelligence from the seat of th es e intricate comrnotions we have observed that matters are momentarily assuming a more for midable appearance, and in this they are only reams_ Madrid papers of the 13th have arrived. The Gaceta publishes a royal decree for the adop• tion of the necessary measures for the Governmeni s taking in hand the collection and administration a THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 56, y 1846 the salt duties on the 30th, when the period for which they had been farmed out will expire. It also Rah lishes a decree fixing the 6th of December for the commencement of the general election. On the 4th two small vessels of war arrived at Vigo from Portugual, with the rest of the Spanish emigrants who were in the depots. They consist of private citizens, soldiers and police, and custom house officers. The emigrants entered the town amidst general expressions of joy. On board the steamer which arrived from Lisbon on the 2d were also many emigrants, most of them officers of the battalion of Oviedo. They are to go to Santiago, and place themselves at the disposal of the Captain- General. A letter from Vittoria of the 9th November, which appears in the Tiempo, says— _ . " General Flores, who was yesterday at the theatre with several of the officers who are to accompany him in his expedition to the Equator, left to-day for Durango and Orduna, where he intends passing his troops in re view. The number of recruits is not considerable, but the men are picked. Amongst the officers are MM. Guillem and Dominguez. It is said that not more than 1,000 men have been got together. Meunin BoLsA, Nov. 13.—The Three per Cents. are per cent. higher to-day, being reported at 34+ buyers; Five per Cents., 21+ with the Coupon; Coup , ,n, 23; Passive Debt, 62 buyers. There was a fall of above 3 per cent. iu the shares of the General Assurance Com pany, owing to the news having arrived of the losses sustained in the terrible hurricane at the llavannah. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The determination of Russia, Austria, and Prussia to suppress the republic of Cracow seems tc have struck M. GUIZOT aghast. It is evident that he is now desirous if possible of renewing the entente cor diale with England, but once broken it is not so easily renewed. Those who have once deceived can never again expect to be trusted. England will no doubt do her duty as one of the parties to the treaty of Vienna, but we should hope that she will do it independently altogether of M. GUIZOT. The following article from the Journal des Debats may be considered as the official announcement of the views of the French Cabinet on the subject : OVEB LAND MAIL INDIA. (From the Times.) We have received by extraordinary express from Marseilles our dispatches in anticipation of the Overland Mails from both Bombay and Calcutta. The dates are from Calcutta to the Bth, and from Bombay to the 15th of October. The Bombay mails of the 15th of October bring important intelligence. The British troops in the north-western provinces of India are in movement, in consequence of the difficulties in which the new Maharaja, Ghoolab Singh, is placed. In conformity with the provisions of the treaties of last March, he during some months has endeavoured to obtain possession of the Vale of Cashmere ; but he has encountered unexpected opposition from Seikh Emaum-ood-Deen, the son of one of his own old confederates, who has governed that district during many years. The Seikh has raised the standard of resistance to Ghoolab : the latter sent a force to reduce him, but the Cashmerian mountaineers beat Ghoolab's forces and slew the commander. Seikh Emaum-ood-Deen has assumed the title of Emir-001-Moomemin, and has attempted to make it a religious war against the Seikhs, whether under Ghoolab or under the Lahore Government. The Mahommedan tribes in the neighbourhood appear disposed to support the Emir-001-Moomemim. Cashmere is known as a most remarkable tract to the north-westward of the Punjaub. It is healthy and fertile, and the inhabitants have long been cele brated for their industry. From its situation, as well as from its being enclosed amongst lofty mountains, it may be called the most important military position in that central part of Asia, and it is, like Gibraltar to the Mediterranean, the key to India, for no invasion can ever take place through the Punjaub while there is a force in the Vale of Cashmere ready to cut off the supplies of the assailants. The extent of Cashmere is about 120 miles in length and 70 in breadth. It was annexed to the Dooranee empire by Ahmed Shah in 1752, and in 1819 Runjeet Singh subdued it by intrigues, and governed it by Mahommedans ; after the defeat of the Seikhs in March last it was ordered to form a part of the kingdom which the Governor-General con ferred on Ghoolab Singh. The Vale of Cashmere has seven passes, through which it may be entered ; they are scarcely passable for even horses. The son of the old Governor may seize these passes, and defy Ghoolab during the winter months, that is, until May next. While thus embarrassed by his new and refractory subjects, Ghoolab applied to the British authorities, and they have sent a force of 6,000 men, under General Wheeler, from the Jullunder Doab to occupy Ghoolab's capital, while he proceeds with all his forces to put the rebellion down. To render the matter more singular, the British, who are not bound by treaty to assist Ghoolab against his internal op ponents, have persuaded the Government of Lahore to aid Ghoolab by dispatching 10,000 to the passes of Cashmere. " When, yesterday, we reproduced an article from the Augsburgh Gazette which announced that, with common accord of the there protecting Powers of the Republic of Cracow, this city was incorporated in the domains of Austria, we abstained from all observation, for the strange news appeared to us to be at least doubtful. We could not believe that the three great Powers, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, had concurred in giving to the world such a manifest example of so dangerous a violation of solemn treaties. The evident fallacy of the meti!es alleged by the Augsburgh Gazette in palliation of this act of violence contributed still further to render us suspicious of the news. Who ever has read the treaties of Vienna must know full well that the esta blishment of the Republic of Cracow was not the exclu sive work of the three Powers who now arrogate to themselves the right of destroying it, and if there exist, as the Augsburgh Gaze* pretends, private conven tions, in virtue of which Austria, Prussia, and Russia, considered the independence of the Republic of Cracow as a simple experiment which they were always at liberty to abandon, it is too evident that these conventions are without force or value with regard to the other powers who signed the treaties of Vienna. Europe has never heard of these conventions, and this is the first time of their being revealed to the world. We had therefore every right to mistrust the assertion of the Augsburgh Gazette. It is, however, but too true that this journal was well informed. It is now certain that Austria, Prussia, and Russia, borrowing from the Emperor Napoleon the formula for which he has been so much reproached, have pronounced with one common accord that the Republic of Cracow has ceased to exist, and that this city, the last remnant of unhappy Poland, is to be united to the Austrian dominions. The news was on Tuesday notified by the Prussian MiniEter to the British Ambassador, Lord Normanby; and yes terday M. Guizot received the like notification from the Austrian Charg4 d'Affaires. The act, therefore, is con summated. But right still subsists, and the marked de clarations that were made last summer in the French Chambers and the British Houses of Parliament, by the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the two nations, are sure pledges that right will not be given up." The son of the old Seikh Emaum-ood-Deen, who was long a servant of the Lahore Government, is supposed to be influenced by intrigues set on foot to injure Ghoolab, who is hated for his treachery by the Government of Lahore. There is no doubt of the double defeat of Ghoolab, and the latest intelligence is that the Emir is making preparations to resist, and that the British are about to move towards Cashmere. The winter is a fearful season in the passes, and it is apprehended that but little can be done in them until May next, if the Emir makes the anticipated resistance. The Nizam of Moultan, a Hindoo, who farmed that district from Runjeet Singh, is also causing trouble to the Lahore Government, and refuses to re ceive their troops into his forts. At the end of last year, when ordered to have 60,000 men ready to op pose Sir Charles Napier, he coolly told the Lahore rulers that he would not, for he preferred the English rule to theirs. It is therefore supposed that Sir Charles Napier will ere long have to move troops up the Indus to wards Bhawulpore, and perhaps even to take pos session of Moultan, which is the great entrepOt for trade with Affghanistan and all the surrounding districts. After quoting from the speeches of M. GUIZOT and Lord PALMERSTON, the article thus concludes : " These quotations sufficiently show the true light in which France and England ought to view the act of vio lence which the three Powers, who, by a painful incon sistency, still call themselves the protectorsof the Republic of Cracow, have allowed themselves to commit. The im portance of this republic is not the question: we know that the incorporation of the city of Cracow in the dominions of Austria will not disturb the balance of power in Europe ; but the question is upon a prin ciple on which reposes the public rights of Europe, and the independence of all its states, small as well as great. If the existence of the Republic of Cracow was really incompatible with the repose of three such Powers as Austria, Prussia, and Russia, it would still have been no reason for a violation of right. Refer ence3l )11 d have been made to all the Powers who signed the treaties of Vienna. France and England would cer tainly have taken into serious consideration the inquie tudes which the Republic of Cracow might have caused the Emperor of all the Russias and to the two great German Sovereigns. But for three to tear in pieces treaties which had been concluded between seven is a tovelty never before heard of in the annals of diplomacy. For to-day we shall confine ourselves to these reflections." The Epoque has an article on this subject, which from its style we should guess to be from the pen of M. GuizoT himself. It is a most remarkable article, and in it M. GuizoT has passed the most severe con demnation of his own policy with regard to Spain and has shadowed forth the fate which most assuredly awaits himself, if he do not alter that policy in time. The following is an extract from this very remark able article : " However elevated a throne may be, it is subject to the eternal principles of honour. We have the happi ness of living in an age in which p r i nc ipl es sea t e d at the depth of the conscience of man form there a tribunal before which emperors and kings must appear like the rest of mankind. When the world, still in its semi• savage state, was only enlightened by the uncertain rays of the moral theories of philosophers, princes who had force on their side had a chanc e o f b e i ng un j us t an d wicked with impunity. But since Christianity has vul garised and universalised the fundamental system of right and duty in all, there is no longer, in any sphere, an act of violation of %hat is true, and just, and holy, that can hope to escape condemnation. In this point of view the three Governments of Russia, Prussia, and Austria have lowered themselves in the opinion of their own people. There is no division in good faith. When the foreigners have been cheated, natives may also be cheated, and they who have suppressed the liberties of one town may be justly suspected of b e ing capable of suppressing the liberties of twenty others. If we were citizens of St. Petersburgh, Berlin, or Vi enna , th e fate of Cracow wou!d give us ground for reflection." The French of all parties agree with M. GUIZOT in thinking that when foreigners (Spanish and English) have been cheated, natives (Frenchmen) may likewise be cheated. They, too, are of opinion that those who hare suppressed the liberties of one town (Madrid, for example), may be justly suspected of being capable of suppressing the liberties of twenty I others, and to the citizens of Paris, Bordeaux, and Marseilles the fate of Spain gives ground for serious reflection. M. GUIZOT has laughed at the English protest against the Montpensier marriage, holding it to be an absurdity to protest against un flit accompli, and yet in the case of the annexation of Cracow, we find that M. GUIZOT himself proposes to commit this very absurdity. " France and England," says the Epoque, " cannot, and certainly will not, accept without re servation and energetic protests, the perpetration of the fact in question. M. GUIZOT has given pledges on this point which we cannot suppose he will violate Lord PALMERSTON, on his side, has given even more precise and positive pledges, and he would deceive the whole world if he should forget them." Sinde is tranquil and healthy. • Sir C. Napier re mains at Kurrachee. The withdrawal of some native regiments was spoken of. Her Majesty's 17th Regi ment was about to have volunteers taken from it, and then to embark for Bombay and afterwards for Eng land. The Legitimatist journal the France says—" M, Guizor flatters himself to turn this affair to account as regards England. He will say to her, "If you had not abandoned me, we would have protested in concert against the powers of the north. Suffer, then, the punishment of the isolation to which you have condemned me." We doubt, however, whether this mode of reasoning will offer much consolation for M. Guizor. England, although she signed the treaties cf 1816, is very little interested as to whether the Republic of Cracow be incorporated or not. The revolutionary Government of France, on the con trary, has for sixteen years set itself up as the official protector of the Polish cause—of that cause which. in the town of Cracow, is about to lose its last bulwark." A bloody revolution has taken place at Katmandoo, the capital of one of the most powerful Indian states. Nepaul has long been notorious for its fierce wild in habitants. The paramour of the Queen of that country was assassinated by a faction : he was a man of low birth and habits. To avenge his death she procured the massacre of the Prime Minister, and of hundreds of other influential persons. She is the second wife of the Maharaja, and she is jealous of his eldest son by a former marriage. Her husband has fled, and there is a prospect of more carnage in that wretched country. The Nizam's dominions present the usual picture of inextricable confusion, arising from bad financial arrangements. The Government of India has re-opened the Five per Cent. Loan. The notice was published in Bombay on the 14th of October, and within 24 hours all the public securities fell 10 per cent. A sort of panic has seized the holders of the Company's paper. There was much anxiety about the new Governor of Bombay, who was expected without much delay. Sir David Pollock, the new Chief Justice, had ar rived, but was not expected to take the oaths until the departure of his predecessor, Sir H. Roper, on the 2d of November. The health of the Superintendent of the Indian Navy was much impaired, and he must follow the example of Sir George Arthur, and soon retire from the heats of India. The Journal des Debuts contradicts the report that Rear-Admiral MONTAGUIS DE LA ROQUE, Command ant of the African station, had received orders to re turn to Toulon, in consequence of disease infecting the crews of his ships. The announcement of the annexation of Cracow to Austria has produced an extraordinary sensation in Paris, and created a panic on the Bourse.

Commander, arrived at Southampton on Friday, at four P.M., bringing the usual mails, a small number of dollars on merchants' accounts, 24 tierces and 8 barrels of cof fee, some ginger, 13 cases and 122 kegs succades, 87 bales of tobacco, 4 cases of cigars, and 32 passengers. Her dates are—Demerara, October 20 ; Trinidad, 21 ; Grenada, 26 ; St. Thomas's, 30 ; Jamaica, 24 . Mr. Robert Rawle, a passenger, from Trinidad, died at sea on the 16th of November. The Tweed expe rienced fine weather home, but during the last two days fell in with the bad weather we have had on the coast. The only vessel she spoke was the Bellhaven barque. Ou her departure from the various islands much rain had fallen, and the weather was highly favourable for the crops. Cuba had not suffered so severely from the gale, which was so terrific at Havannah, as had been feared. By the Tweed's arrival we have scarcely any news. We learn that the company's ship Clyde was at Grenada; Forth, at Havannah; Tay, in the Gulf of Mexico; Trent, on the Spanish Main ; Eagle, at St. Thomas's and Reindeer, at Demerara. Public meetings continue to be held in respect to the Sugar Duties, to which the colonists seem little likely to be reconciled. The Ripon remains at the mouth of the river, with Indian mails, weather-bound. SUSPECTED MURDER AT SUTTON. —The inquiry into the case of George Taylor, whose body was dis interred after being in the grave two years, to ascertain the presence of arsenic, which it was suspected had been administered by Elizabeth Smith, his housekeeper, was resumed on Tuesday last. Further evidence having been given to show that the accused parties in recrimi nating each other had implicated themselves, the coroner referred to a report which had been received from Pro fessor Taylor, who stated that he had completed the analysis of the remains transmitted to him, and had been unable to detect the presence of any metallic poison. Mr. Pettinger, the surgeon, gave it as his decided opi nion, after hearing the evidence, and from the symptoms he saw in Taylor, that he had died from the effects of arsenic. Dr. Hugh Morten, of Newark, coincided in that opinion. After the coroner had summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Elizabeth Smith and Sarah Taylor. ; DARING BURGLARY.—On Friday information was forwarded to the police that the premises of Mr. Tylery, No. 70, Long-lane, Barbican, had been entered on Friday morning, and the entire stock of watches and jewellery carried off, as well as ninety gold and silver watches, valued at 2001., that bad been left for repair. A BLUE HARE.—On Tuesday last, a hare of a singular colour, which had been seen in Mr. Wood bridge's coverts, at Bigods, for a year or two, and called the " blue hare," was killed by Dr. Barnes. Its fur re sembled that of the grey squirrel, and bad a yeryisingular appearance.— Chelmeord Chronicle, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From 7hc Sun of Saturday Evening.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very quiet. Sales 4,000 bales.—Shares were rather heavier. The items of the Bank of England account present some alteration this week, the bullion being rather higher in amount.

N ever th e l esr , th ere we re some indi cations of tempestuous weather in Jamaica, which ex cited a little apprehension. Tae conduct of the immi grant labourers from India, either from the absence of due regulation, or their inherent vice, had rather dis gusted the Jamaica people ; as it is even asserted that female chastity was not safe in the districts inhabited by them, even in open day. The rather tempestuous weather of Friday morning is reported in accounts received to-day from some of the outports to have done damage to several vessels.
