We await with some curiosity the result of the coming Paris election. That election might indeed be regarded as an event of great political importance, if we could consider it as an evidence of public feeling, if we could regard it as one of those straws which show which way the wind blows. But under present circumstances it would be to exaggerate the importance of the election to view it in such a light. Still, as an evidence of the feeling, for the time being, of the majority of the Parisians, the names of the new representatives of Paris will be looked for with interest and curiosity. LOUIS NAPOLEON is natuually the most conspicuous of the can didestee, and it is probable, although by no means certain, that he may be the favoured one. To forget is a most difficult and an almost impossible task, and this it is which renders the position of Prince Louis so peculiarly hazardous and arduous. It is impossible for him to forget his parentage and his once legitimate expectations. It is impossible for him to forget that he is the nephew of NAPOLEON. It is impossible for him to forget that he might have been Emperor of France ! On the other hand, it is impossible fur the French Govern ment to forget that Prince Louis is a pretender—it is impossible for French citizens to forget that he has been a disturber of the peace. All these reminiscences stand in his way, and seem to interdict his passage to the National Assembly. It has been said, that in order to prevent any repetition of the demonstrations which took place some time since in favour of Prince Louis, the Government will effectually pronounce his ostracism, without seeming to make him individually the object of any invidious interference, by passing a law to banish from France all members of all families who have ever reigned in France. We cannot think it likely that any such harsh measure will be ever introduced, and much less that it will be ever put in practice. Such a law would virtually recognise the legality of the very claims it would be intended to discountenance. A temporary banishment of any individual family whose presence might be productive of ge neral disturbance, as is the case at present with the family of LOUIS PUILIPPE, is an act fully justi fied by the necessity which elicits it, but a general law not called forth by an emergency, but (appa rently) based on principle, which should banish every Bourbon and Bonaparte from France, solely be cause the sceptre of France had once been wielded by members of those families, would be a direct vio lation of the principles of social justice and the rights of citizenship. It is, however, quite unnecessary for us at present to inveigh against such a law, because we cannot believe it possible that such a law will be introduced into the National Assembly. As regards Prince Louis individually, if he be elected we can see no reason why he should not be permitted to take his seat. If General CAVAIGNAC and the other members of the French Executive be resolved to maintain those prin ciples which led to the Revolution of February—if they be resolved not only to preserve order in the state, biet to promote liberty among the people, they will have little cause to fear the presence of Prince Louis—their popularity will be their surest safeguard. But should it be otherwise, should they entertain any hopes of establishing a new dictator ship, shoubil they be solicitous of repeating such acts as their recent infringement of the liberties of the press, then they will do well to pronounce the exile of Prince Louis—they will do well to take every possible precaution that they will only, ac cording to the vulgar idiom, hare their trouble for their pains, for such precaution will avail them little, Their domination will not be endangered by the helpless members of once royal families, the danger will in that case be nearer home. If the French Government, therefore, be instigated by righteous impulses they may safely endure the presence of all the Bourbons and all the Bonapartes, even in cluding Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON himself. As for the and admitted latter, if he be chosen r e p resen t a ti ve o f P ar i s , _ i n th a t c h aracter i nto the N at i onal As sem blYs we would fain hope that he will, by an heroic effort, forget all those • ionary dreams which d azz l e d his youth a n d deluded his manhood, and r emem b er only his on e recent declaration If the p er h a p s , b y very different hentii4nts) duties upon m e , I shall know hew the peopl e i m p ose w ow to fulfil th em ." Let him remembe r this—let him remember that by electing him as a M em b er of the National Assembly w iwhich h the people will have i mposed duties up in o c ie al m h duties will be incompatible with personal ambition and antagonistic to any attempt to disturb the national peace. Among the subjects to which Parliament should devote its earliest attention immediately on its re assembling, is the present state of the law for the trial of election petitions. The country is put tto an immense expense fur the revision of the registry o f si"tiliatnentary voters, voters themselves are put to - -- \ -- 4 . rsbiti incovjgnience, and all, as it would appear, if .4, 2 ', we afirteJdiehfrora the results of the last Dublin ~„, election, without\ any avail, inasmuch as every voter, r- named albeit . his naEE'appears upon the registry, may •-• , , before a Parliamentary Committee, and called upon dragged to "prove, at a distance of 500 miles from home, his right to vote. At the last general election for the city of Dublin it was considered up not only to the eleventh hour, but to the eleventh and a half hour, that the Tory candidates, Mr. GROGAN and Mr. Quarter-Acre GREGORY, would be permitted to walk over the course. Not that they were by any means popular, not that it was even pretended that of the 21,000 electors of Dublin even a fourth part would have given them their support—but they were rich, they were Tories, they were backed by the purse of the Carlton Club—they knew that the expenses to be paid to the sheriffs for: polling-booths and officers would amount . to 2,4001., and, with all the self-sufficiency of purse-proud arrogance, they defied the Liberals to oppose their return. Their defiance was taken up by Mr. Jour; REYNOLDS. All Dublin turned out in his support, and he was re turned,while Mr. Quarter-Acre GREGORY was rejected. Dublin, the House of Commons, the whole of the United Kingdom, were gainers by the change. Mr. Quarter-Acre GREGORY was a bad specimen of the Irish landlord class, a gentleman only known in the House of Commons by his pertinacity in insisting upon the adoption of the quarter-acre clause in the Irish Poor-law Bill, thus turning that which was intended as a measure of relief for the destitute poor into an efficient instrument of tyranny in the hands of the landlords. Mr. REYNOLDS, on the contrary, is the most favourable specimen of the middle class Irishman, the man of talents, of wit, of tact, and, above all, of business habits, that Ire land has yet sent to the House of Com mons. He has acquired for himself a position and a standing in the House such as no other new Member, English, Irish, or Scotch, who was returned at the election of 1847, has yet attained. His first speech was on the currency question, and was the most lucid and understandable that has for a long time been made within the walls of the House of Commons on this most intricate subject. It was listened to with attention by the House, and the Honourable Member was highly complimented by Sir ROBERT PEEL on his Parliamentary debid. Since that time Mr. REYNOLDS has fre quently addressed the House, but ?lever except he had scmething to say, and the consequence is that he has always been listened to with respect and atten tion, and may now be considered one of the leading Members of that House ; certainly he more entirely possesses the ear of Parliament than does any other Irish Member. The Plutocrats of Dublin were galled to the quick to find that talent had beaten gold. To use' the words of Mr. REYNOLDS, , "My opponents could scarcely believe the evidence of their own senses, and went about, like political mad men, saying, 'ls it possible that this man is re turned ? ' They met each other with long faces, asking the question, and the answer was, Yes, he is elected.' Well, they became desperate; they did not content themselves with saying it is a terrible thing, and we must bear it as well as we can, but some of them said, No, we will not bear it ;we will put him down by a petition.' But on what are we to ground a petition ? There is no bribery.' They said, 'No, we admit that.' Then how will you put him out ?' Why, we will charge his voters with non-payment of local taxes ; we will crush him by expenses ; we will break him down." And, accordingly, all the powers of gold were brought into requisition to break down the man of the people's choice, and to render freedom of election a mockery. Not only did the Irish Toriesdraw their purse-strings, but the Carlton Club entered the contest, and the large funds of the entire Tory party were placed at the disposal of those engaged in the prosecution of the petition. This petition proceeded on two grounds— first, it was alleged that Mr. REYNOLDS did not pos sess the requisite property qualification, and, secondly, that his majority was only colourable, inasmuch as the voters constituting that majority had not paid their taxes. When the Committee met, Mr. REYNOLDS, who had summoned witnesses at an expense of 7001. or 8001. to support his qualification, urged that the question of qualification should be entered on the first, inasmuch as if that were decided against him, there would be no necessity to enter upon an expensive scrutiny ; but the Com mittee ruled that the petitioners might conduct their case in their own manner, and the petitioners chose to commence at once with the scrutiny, evidently with the intention of endeavouring to ruin Mr. REYNOLDS by the expense. He accordingly sent his witnesses who were to prove his qualification back to their re spective homes, and prepared to enter on the scrutiny. The history of that scrutiny we will give in Mr. Reynolds's own words. At the dinner which was given to him at Blackwall, to celebrate his triumph he said— " The scrutiny into my election lastcd thirteen weeks, and at the end of the twelfth week they succeeded in striking off ninety of my votes for non-payment of taxes. The expense attendant upon the taking off of those votes for non-payment of taxes was, upon my part, about 7,0001., while upon the part of my opponents it was pro bably 10,0001.; and, if my defence had not been managed economically, as well as being conducted in a very talented manner, it would have cost 20,0001. But it is a singular fact in the statistics of elections, that in taking off ninety votes for the non-paymeut of rates, 17,0001. of money was required to be expended. To show the grievous nature of that opposition, I need only state that the amount of taxes due by those ninety voters was not quite 501.—(Cries of Shame.') To strike off ninety voters 17,0001. of hard money has been expended, and I will not say what an enormous amount—l will not call it perjury, but of hard swearing.' To aggravate the calamity, the men who lost their votes by this hard swearing had no opportunity of defending themselves. for they resided in the city of Dublin, nearly 500 statute miles from the place where the jury sat to determine their case." At the end of the thirteen weeks the petitioners were beaten on the scrutiny, they had exhausted their objections, and Mr. REYNOLDS sill maintained a considerable majority, but when the scrutiny was over, they revived their objection to his qualification for the mere purpose of involving him in an addi tional expenditure of 7001. or 8001. to prove it. In this also he succeeded, the Committee having unani mously decided, without clearing the room, and without hearing all his witnesses, that he had succeeded in proving his qualification. It is true that Mr. REY NOLDS is now Member for Dublin, but it is also true that his opponents have inflicted on him a fine of 7,0001. without cause, and without pretence. Surely this state of the law requires alteration. It is en couraging corruption, and corruption of the worst sort, to give the monied man this tremendous power over his less wealthy rival. Of what use is the registry, if it is not to be final and conclusive ? Of what use is it, under the pretence of diminishing expense, to confine the polling to one day, if after the polling is over it is in the power of a Parliamentary Committee to go into a scrutiny which may last thirteen weeks. As was justly observed by the talented Member for Bodmin, Mr. WYLD, at the Reynolds' dinner, "it would be better to abolish all appeal to the House of Commons than to permit it to continue subject to the gross and grievous abuse of which it had been recently proved capable." SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 14th have arrived. There had been for some days a severe run on the Bank of San Fernando, which continued unabated. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 14.—The Three per Cents. closed at 19i buyers, a sellers; Five per Cents., 10i buyers, sellers; Coupons, 7 sellers; Passive Debt, 31 buyers, sellers ; Bank Shares, 50 buyers; Ex change on Lor.don, 48. FIRE AT A RAILWAY STATION.—This morning consider Ale excitement was created at the terminus of the London and North-Western Railway, in consequence of the destruction of a large quantity of luggage belong ing to a party of emigrants about to procred to Australia on their own account. It appears that the truck containing the property caught fire on the journey and consumed the whole of it, worth more than 4001. The company are making arrangements to compensate the parties for their losser. SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The engage ments of Miss Rosina Collins and Mr. Henry Phillips at the above-named popular place of amusement is likely to prove highly advantageous to the enterprising proprietors, 20,000 persons having visited the gardens during the past two days, to hear Mr. Phillips sing " , Aly boy hood's home," and Miss Rosins Collins play the Prin cess . the vi, variations to the "Carnival de Venise" upon mansion inl:, E aton-, t n o d n - i s a . q u' u i t l , r y e , i l i b s 'lin, which are nightly applauded to the echo. lighness Prince Metternich, accompanied by has left B le r f i t g t h h to e n E , aartl which c h Denbigh's water the place the illust i ' t autumn and r_,,us Prince purposes to reside during A StockholmaPProahing . letter of the Bth states that the works for the formation of a railroad Hulst, the first undertaking between Oerebro and of the kind in Sweden, were commenced on the 4th, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The polling is over, but so neck and neck has been the contest that no one ventures to give even a guess at the results. A much greater number of electors have voted than on any former occasion. Paris con tinues perfectly tranquil. The members of the club of the Rue de Poitiers have determined to offer no opposition to the re-elec tion of M. ARMAND MARRAST as President of the Assembly. According to the Reforme, Prince Louis NAPO LEON has been returned for the department of the Moselle. The sitting of the Assembly on Monday was only remarkable for a singularly ineffective speech by the Count MONTALEMBERT, in favour of what he calls liberty of instruction, but which is in reality giving to the priests the exclusive monopoly of the education of the kingdom. It was a rechazffee of the common- place laudations of the Jesuits, which the ex• Count was in the habit of pronouncing once a year with great eclat, for the edification of the ex• Chamber of Peers. It, however, produced no effect on the Assembly, and so chilling was the reception of this champion of the parti pretre that he stopped in the middle of his speech unable to continue, and requested permission to con clude it on the following day. Since the above was written we have received in telligence from Paris to Tuesday evening. It appears probable that Prince Louis NAPOLEON and Messrs. RASPAIL and CABET, the Socialist candidates, have been returned for Paris. The result, however, will not be officially known until Thursday. From what can be gathered from the partial returns already made, the tricky EMILE DE GIRARDIN and the crotchetty Abbe DE GENOUDE are the lowest on the poll. LOUIS NAPOLEON has also been returned for the department of the Orme and of Charente In ferieure. M. MARRAST has been re-elected President of the Assembly by a majority of 527 totes out of 670. The National publishes a letter from Pesth, dated Bth Sept., which announces that the Hungarians had totally defeated the Croatians. BOURSE-PARIS, TUESDAY, SEPT. 19. THREE O'CLOCK.—Tbe Bourse was in an agitated state to-day, and very little business was done. The result of tho elections now going on was the principal subject of conversation, speculators being disinclined to enter on fresh transactions under present circumstances.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRANKFORT. The German Parliament, in their sitting of the 16th September, determined to reject the proposition for the rejection of the armistice and the immediate continuance of the war with Denmark by a majority of 258 to 237. The people assembled in crowds as soon as the result was known, and went to the German Hotel, the head-quarters of the Deputies of the Left. BLUM at once came out, and ordered the door keepers to throw open the windows. lie then ad dressed the mob from one of them, telling them that the eventful hour was now come when the people must show itself brave and resolute in the cause of Germany, as it had shown itself in the famous days of March.—(Cries of "We will.") What the Left should do now he scarcely knew.—(Cries of " Retire, appeal to the people.") He warned them to be ready when they were called upon, &c.—(Cries of " We are ready.") SIMON then harangued them. He adverted to the disgraces which his party, the party of the people, had suffered in the Assembly ; a series of disgraceful discomfitures at which the heart of a patriot sickened. But it was not enough for one man to feel this, as all that was left him was to retire under a sense of sorrow for the treason that had been committed against his country. They must have a great majority, a great majority among the people.—(Cries of " You have it already.") Ile knew here were 20,000 of the Burgher Guard in Berlin who would stand by them, and they had a vast number of Democratic unions in Prussia and else where who would support them. But they must not be hasty. They must wait the next post from Berlin, since the last had already brought them news of the generale having been beaten there ; and then they would be able to say whether and where the people should make a demonstration in the cause of liberty and unity, the cause which a certain num ber in the National Assembly were seeking to under mine. Frankfort was not the ground to act upon ; but he conjured them to be ready.—(Cries of " IVe are ready now, now:) They said they were ready; but they must give the Left time to come to a defi nite resolution. They had met for the purpose of forming one that very evening, and he, therefore, again begged them to give them time. After cheer ing, &c., the crowd departed to the Hotel of Lich nowsky, hissing and hooting, and from thence to the Hotel d'Angleterre, the head-quarters of the Right and Right Centre, the windows of which they demo. lished. They continued rioting until nearly ten o'clock, when the generale was beat, and the troops and Burgher Guard dispersed them. AUSTRIA. The disturbances which had broken out in Vienna on the 12th continued on the 13th. A letter from Vienna of that date says— " The greater part of the guards have been under arms since nine o'clock this morning. The movement of yesterday partook of rather a social character, as sumed a different colour to-day, and was of a decidedly political tone. Towards noon the generate was beaten in almost every place, and soon af ter t h e military and the guards assembled in the court-yard, which they completely occupied. In the course of the afternoon, .a body of the National Guards and stu4etts suddenly made their appearance, with printed papers in their hats, demanding the re-establishment of the Committee of Public Safety. The greater number of the guards refused to take these papers; the excitement arose: an ordonnance of the Ministry commanded the removal of this new printed demonstration; the Diet declared itself permanent, and d( creed the prohibition of the com mittee; fresh troops were marching into the city, who, as well as the artillery, were received with acclamations. A report that barricades were being erected at the University proved to be false, and up to this time (halt-past eight o'clock, P.M.) the peace has not been broken. " Great animation prevails in the streets, but with such an armed force, and the admirable spirit which pre vails among the guards and troops, there is no apprehen sion of a very serious imeute breaking out. "NINE o'cLocs, P.M.—The Deputies of the Diet, Borrosch, Schyseka, and Virland, have just returned from the University, where, after a spirited address to the Legion, they received the assurance of its entire de votion to the Diet. Borrosch is at this moment submit ting to the Diet the proposition of constituting a com mittee for the maintenance of peace. The military and National Guards are being drawn off from several parts of the city, as general tranquillity prevails. " Yesterday, after having succeeded in getting the troops sent back to their barracks, the posts were occu pied by the National Guards and students, and the mal contents retired without creating any further disorder. " Great agitation prevails in the city to-day, and fears are entertained for the peace, as the National Guard is, unhappily, not unanimous ; and a party of them belong ing to the burghers joined the Academic Legion in de manding very decidedly the dismissal of the Ministry, and the re-establishments of the Committee of Public Safety. In the sitting of the Assembly Baron WESSENBEUG, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, produced, according to his promise, the replies to the interpellations of Deputy GOLDMARX respecting the Italian question, as follow : " 1. The chief grounds of action of the Ministry in the Italian question are—To uphold the honour and dig nity of the empire, and to defend its interests. " 2. As long as negotiations are pending no expla nations can be given; so much, however, may be said, the mediation of England and France had been ac cepted. "3. It is the determination of the Ministry to use every means in its power to prevent war, with due re gard, however, to the national dignity.—(Cheers.) "4. Prince Schwarzenberg is appointed Plenipoten tiary in the Italian question, as being best acquainted with it. " 5. The family ties which connect Modena and Parma to the Imperial house of Austria demand protection from the same. " The conventions concluded in this respect were, he believed, published." Not satisfied with these explanations, GOLDMARK rose and declared that the Assembly was just as wise as before. lie did not wish to know whether the Ministry had concluded treaties for the preservation of family interests, but whether the offensive and de- , fensive treaties concluded under METTERNICH were to be maintained, and that if the Ministry declined entering into further explanations pending the nego tiations, the instructions sent to HARTIG, RADEIZKT, MONTECUCOLI, and SCHWARZENBERG, should at least be laid on the table of the Chamber. WXBSENBERG refused any further explanations; it was in opposition to constitutional eustora to do so pending the negotiations. As the Assembly was on the point of adjourning, the Minister of War, Count LATOUR, rose to say that he had just received the information that a stormy meeting was assembled in the Aula of the University, and that it was their intention not only to turn out the Ministry, but to declare the dissolution of the Diet. The Com mandant of the National Guard had demanded the assistance of the military. LOHNER then rose and moved that the Diet be declared in permanency, which was unanimously adopted. GOLDMARK. was against any steps being taken by the military till more authentic information had been received. A lively discussion ensued, which was interrupted by the entrance of SCHWARZER, the ex-Minister of Public Works, who announced that a deputation of National Guards and students, headed by Professor Fusrin, had just waited upon the Ministry, demanding the re• establishment of the Commission of Safety, that their request had been refused, that the military were fraternizing with the National Guards, and that a body of workmen had deliberately loaded their muskets. It was necessary to act energetically. The Diet was still deliberating when the post left. VIENNA, SEPT. 14.—The disturbances at Vienna have happily terminated without any serious affray or bloodshed. The city is perfectly quiet to-day. The anarchists quite overshot their mark yesterday, and have been made sensible of their weakness. The demonstration in the Atila appears to have been restricted to the desire for the re-establishment of the Committee of Public Safety. In consequence of the emeutes, the Ministers have issued a proclamation, in which all assemblages of persons for the purpose of offering resistance to the powers that be are threatened with the most severe punishment, graduated according to the extent of their misdemeanour, from six months to twenty years' imprisonment. Donnuorr, in this proclama tion, exhorts the people to keep the peace, as the only legitimate guarantee for the maintenance of liberty. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. PESTH, SEPT. 1 1.—The Hungarian Deputies re turned yesterday afternoon by steamer from Vienna ; most of them displayed a red feather in their caps, in token of their mission, and as a signal that liberty must now be bought at the point of the sword. An immense crowd covered both banks of the Danube, and the news spread like wildfire, that the Kixo him self was new at the head of the reactionary party. BATHYANI and DEAK have also returned, and have sat in Council for some hours with the Archduke Palatine. During the night there was a secret sitting of the House of Representatives, the results of which are impatiently looked for by all. Nearly 10,000 persons assembled on the Museum-splatz, but a deputy from the Minister went among them with an exhortation to rely firmly on the decisions of the Diet. This appeared to satisfy them, and they dis persed quietly. A second sitting of both Houses is to take place this morning in the hall of the Lower House. PESTII, SEPT. 12.—At the Cabinet Council, held by the Archduke Palatine, immediately on the return of the Deputies, all the Ministers tendered their resig nations, with the exception of the Minister of the In terior, SZEMERE. In consequence of their resolution, the Archduke at the second sitting of the Diet, which had to meet in the meanwhile, sent in papers in which he received the resignation of the Ministers, and at the same time informed the House that in the present default of a Ministry, he should provisionally under take the responsible direction of the Government. This writing not being countersigned by SZEMERE, who still remains in office, it was considered not valid. As, however, after 16tygthened debate, the Minister of Finance, KossuTu, after the most urgent entreaties, firmly persisted in declining the direction of the Government, but consented, with the rest of the Ministers except BATHYANI, to retain his portfeuille until a new Ministry should be formed, a deputation from the Diet was sent to the Palatine, charged to communicate the desired wishes of the states. The Archduke ex pressed his heartfelt regret that the representatives of the nation had considered his letters not legal, as it bad been his endeavour most scrupulously to observe the laws ; but that since the Diet had given the proof of their confidence in sending the present deputation, he would still retain the office which was confided to him by the ICING and the nation, but that on the first indication of the mistrust of the nation he should be reluctantly compelled to quit his country. On the present occasion he should agree to the wishes of the Diet. KOSSUTH has consequently been charged with the formation of the new Cabinet. It is reported that the Hungarian Diet has declared itself permanent and absolute. JELLACLUCII is advancing tri ump h ant l y. His proclamations all end with "God save th e Em peror FERDINAND !'' JELLACHICH, in his proclama tion to his army, addresses them as "Austri an sol diers," and says that he has unfolded his banner for the defence of the honour and integrity of the Aus trian empire ! and the following passage in this very same proclamation is of nu small importance at the present moment : glorious hero, w ith th e o, consisti ng o f various bravest "O n of th e t h p e lai nbrave,sis s ofy haslgluaal squadrons, a re conquered a p rec i ous j ewe l to the Crown ; his races, obeyed one command, were animated by one spirit, and victory crowned their efforts." The proclamation concludes as follows : " Long live the unity of the Austrian army, under our beloved Emperor and King ! " From the Drave, Sept., 1848. (Signed) " JELLACHICH, " Lieutenant Field -Marshal and Bann: PRUSSIA. General WRANGEL arrived at Berlin on the 15th, and inspected the 9th Infantry, upon the Linden. The General has addressed a letter to the Ministry at Frankfort, announcing his having resigned the command of the army in Schleswig to General BONIN, the execution of the armistice having termi nated his mission. The whole of the Prussian troops employed in the Duchies have returned to or are en route for their respective garrioons. The two Guard Regiments, Emperors Alexander and Francis, have arrived at Spandau. At the present moment the Confederate troops remaining in Schleswig and Holstein are reduced to the amount defined by the armistice. The cholera continues to spread. There have been 1,800 cases in Berlin since its first appearance. The Berliner Nachrichten states that M. VON BECKERATII has accepted the Presidency, without portileuille, of the new Cabinet, which he is to form. This Cabinet is not yet constituted. He has had several interviews with his MAJESTY, and confidently expects to be able to overcome all the difficulties which he meets with, not only on the part of the Court, but especially on the part of the National As sembly. The disturbances at Potsdam were occasioned chiefly, says the Prussian Staats Anzeiger, by a number of seditious persons, who strove, by means of drink, lkc., to seduce a considerable number of the soldiers to join in the enzeute for the purpose of effecting a rescue of those persons who had been previously arrested. The loyal soldiers were grossly insulted ; they, however, succeeded in making some arrests, dispersin g t h e crowds an d remov i ng th e barricades. No m ortal wounds were i n fli c ted on either side, and p eace was re- esta bli s h e d a t eleven o'clock P.M. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. -- The cavalry of the Hanseatic contingent is not to remain at Schleswig, but to return forthwith to their homes. The Hamburgh squadron is to return to Hamburgh on the 18th or 19th. A portion of the Prussian troops returning from Schleswig-Holstei n are to be quartered in the gar rison at Berlin, and the 12th and 24th regiments of infantry are to return to their former standing quarters. Generals HALKETT and MoLLEDTDonrr have re• I turned home, but several of the other Generals are still at Altona. At a meeting of the Diet at Kie], the Deputy PE TERSEN urged the Provisiomal Government to adopt energetic measures for removing the obstacles which are placed in the way of the navigation of the Schles wig-Holstein vessels. By an amendment it was decided that they should be permitted to hoist the Danish flag. This led to an inquiry -on the part of some of the Members as to the actual position of Schleswig-Holstein in re gard to Denmark, whether the armistice was settled. Deputy OLSHAUSEN said that they were at open war. REVENTLOW considered that the armistice obtained de facto, and exhorted the members to a calm and deliberate discussion. This advice was received with general disapprobation. A letter from the Under-Secretary of State, VON GAGERN to the Minister of Public Affairs for Rendsburgh, says, that the speculation cf VON KLAUSEN, in the Secret Sittings of the Diet of Kiel, would have the less weight if VON OLSHAUSEN had not left the Pro visional Government, which greatly increased the excitement, and it was to be apprehended that the Schleswig-Holstein question would depose Germany from that high position which she had assumed in regard to foreign Powers.—Hamburgh l3orsenhalle, Sept. 16. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND PIEDMONT. The following appears in the .lfoniteur du Soir (the French official paper) of last evening : The report has been spread thet Marshal Radetzky has declined the proposition for a prolongation of the armistic. According to our information, Marshal Ra detzky has declared that he would submit the question to the Cabinet of Vienna, but that he would continue it in point of faet, and would break it only in the event of his being attacked." La Suisse confirms the intelligence that Russia has addressed a note to the Cabinet of St. James's, de claring that it recognizes Austria as the sole and le gitimate possessor of Lombardy, and that any inter vention, if such be contemplated, can only have for its object, not the spoliation of Austria, but the se curing to it the greater part of its Italian possessions. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 15th announces the arrival at Ancona of the Sardinian fleet on the 9th, with 2,000 men of the Piedmontese garrison of Venice on board. Major-General DELLA MARMORA is among them. SICILY. The Pluton, which left Naples on the 11th, has arrived at Marseilles ; she confirms the report of the capture of Messina. YEN ICE. A letter from Corfu, which has been received al Trieste, states that the Provisional Government a Venice, and the greater number of the former Aus. trian officers of marine, had embarked for America. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, THREE, P.M. The British and North American Royal mail steam-ship Britannia has arrived. She left Boston on the 7th instant, and brings 26 passengers, but no specie. The latest advices from New York are down to the afternoon of the Bth inst. The Niagara, with the outward mails, arrived at New York on the 31st ult., and her intelligence caused an immediate advance in the price of bread stuffs. The weather for all the growing crops con tinued to be very fine, and nothing as yet occurred to render a full cotton crop doubtful. In United States politics everything is quiet. The Irish agitation has entirely ceased. The yellow fever has caused very great alarm among the inhabitants of Staten Island, about seven miles from the city of New York, several of the residents having died of the disease. It was probably introduced by soldiers returned from Mexico. The city of New York continued unusually healthy. In New Orleans telegraphic accounts, dated the 4th of September, it is stated that the fever pre vails there, but not to an alarming extent. Mexico continues quiet. The money-market at New York was easy. Ster ling exchanges, 9 to 9i- ; Treasury notes, 103*. NEW YORK, TUESDAY, SEPT. 8, 1 P.M. Sales on the Stock-Exchange were to a fair ex tent without material change in rates. Cotton market steady, with moderate sales. Flour market dull ; prices feebly supported. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHI THEATRE. It is with regret we perceive that this delightful scene of rational amusement is announced by the last programme to terminate the summer season on the 7th of the ensuing month. Too much commendation cannot be bestowed on its spirited proprietor for the liberality, taste, propriety, and judgment that he has evinced in the magnificent scenic decorations, the gorgeous characteristic dresses, the striking classical tableaux, and the complete collective details, which have been so profusely called in requisition to satiate the palates of the most epicurean dramatic gourmand. The spectacular pieces of the season have been Merck, Marmion, Mazeppa, and Lady Godiva, which have each been produced in a style of unprecedented spier!• dour and magnificence. The corps dramatique has been excellent, the corps de cirque unrivalled, and the tout ensemble unparalleled ! We sincerely hope, for the gratification of the public generally, that Mr. Batty will immediately commence a new season at the termination of the present one ; and although his recent expenses in getting up so many splendid spec tacles successively must unavoidably have been im mense, yet the unusually crowded houses that have nightly bestowed their loudest plaudits on his his trionic exertions, have, we hope and believe, fully indemnified him for his adventurous speculations. It is announced that " the French equestrian company" intend to have a Christmas season at Drury-lane Theatre, but, without detracting from their merits, we cannot avoid placing Mr. Batty's claims on the public for support and patronage in juxta-position with those of our continental neighbours. The spi rited proprietor of Astley's has more than a brilliant fortune embarked in his hazardous speculation, his stud is the finest in Europe; his artistes the most select ; he gives employment to upwards of two hundred of her Majesty's subjects, and not one shilling of the moneys paid by him to his numerous employes is drained out of the country, but reverts to its original sources through the channels of mercan tile intercourse. On th e o th e r hand, a continental company (probably c ons i s ti ng of from 30 to 40indi viduals), unfettered by and independent of these weighty liabilities, open a house, commence a short season (at a likely period) ; and go to spend English money in a foreign country I W ith every good wish for Mr. Batty's continued success, and hoping that his establishment, if closed, will speedily re-open, we for awhile take leave of Astley's Royal Amphi theatre. CITY OF LONDON SMALL DEBTS' ACT. Mr. Jagoe, in the fourth edition of the " Practice of the County Courts," gives the amended Act, which assimilates the practice of the London court to that of county courts ; the only difference between those Acts, he says, is, " that it is not necessary to ask leave f the judge of the London court that a summons should issue, if the defendant, or one of the defendants, shall have dwelt or carried on his busi ness within the city of London, or the liberties, at some time within six months next, before action brought, or if the cause of action arose therein ; but if a plaintiff fails in giving evidence that the sum mons was not properly issued he is equally liable to costs as it the action were brought in a county court on a summons issued by leave of the judge. The judge of the London court is empowered and re quired, from time to time, to settle and regulate the fees to be taken by barristers-at-law and attorneys practising in the court, and also to settle in what cases fees shall be allowed on taxation." We really cannot see why professional men, prac tising in the city of London, should be thus specially favoured, by being entitled to receive liberal costs, while the solicitors practising in the other courts, according to Mr. Justice Pattison, must be satisfied with a very trifling remuneration for conducting a case. As the relative situation of solicitors in town and country is now placed before the profession, we re commend that those who practice in county courts should meet and petition Parliament to have the 1 City of London Act extended to county courts, so far as relates to the fees of solicitors. Although we advise this course we are quite satisfied that the arguments used by Mr. Jagoe are sufficiently strong to influence the judges of county courts to give taxed costs to solicitors, at all events until a case bearing on the point shall again be brought before a judge of a superior court, when it may be better argued and more deliberately decided than in the case of ex-parte Greene: MONEY and COMMERCIAL .NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firmer. Sales, 3,500 bales. American realised 3id. to sid. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull and lower. • There are later accounts to-day from New York, Canada, &c., but we have only the papers received by express at the North and South American Coffee-house, the letters not haviag been delivered up to the hour of our writing. The exchange on London was 109 to 1094, with very little doing, but this is a rate that will pretty nearly balance either imports or exports of specie. Cotton was steady, and flour had improved in value, although it became quiet before the steamer left. As giving a stimulus to shipments to Europe, the rise that bad occurred in breadstuffs is not to be regretted, though it is not de sirable, and it is hoped not probable that it will go further, owing to the recent marked improvement in the weather. A Quebec journalist remarks:—" A heavy blow to the commercial prosperity of Montreal is likely to be inflicted, we are sorry to say, by allowing goods to pro ceed to Upper Canada without being warehoused and paying the duties in Montreal; so that the importers will no longer be under the necessity of employing agents, commissioners, &c., there. But such things must be submitted to for the general good. The fol lowing is from the Toronto British Colonist, of the 15th instant:—' The steamer Beagle, Walker, master, arrived at this port on Saturday last, having on board, among other cargo, eighteen cases of brandy, ex-ship Conquering Hero, from London which were passed on from Montreal to be entered for duty at the Custom-house, Toronto. It is now settled that under the new Customs' law goods intended fur Upper Canada can be forwarded direct, without the necessity of bonding or paying duties at the port of Montreal, as was formerly the case. All that is re quired is that the vessel taking goods ex-ship at Mon treal for Upper Canada must take a clearance at Mon treal, which is not attended with any delay or expense. For this boon to the trade of Upper Canada the mer cantile community are indebted to Mr. Mitchell, of the firm of Ross, Mitchell, and Co., through whose repre sentation at the proper quarter the concession has been made. Among the numerous advantages which will result to the trade of Upper Canada under this ar rangement will be that our merchants can transact their own business free from the burdens of agency, bank commission, difference of money, &c., &c., and another will be that parties importing large quanti ties of goods in the fall for the winter and spring trade can warehouse them at Toronto, and release them from bond as they require them on payment of the duties, whereas, under the former system, the goods would have to be entered and the duties paid at once. The same regulation will of course apply to other ports in Upper Canada.'" The English Funds have again to-day exhibited an appearance of firmness, and there is a more sanguine reeling, although the impetus to speculation has not yet been given. Consols have been 86 to 861 for Transfer, and 86k to 86i for Account. At present they are about 86k for money, and 86* + for time. Exchequer-bills have been 29, to 325. premium. East India Stock has been at 234, and India Bonds are 30s. premium. The news of Louis Napoleon and the Socialists being elected has checked the market. The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected. Mexican Bonds have realised 16i; Chilian Three per Cents., 46; and Russian, 99; Spanish Three per Cents. are nominally 22i to 23i; and Portuguese Four per Cents. 21 to 22; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. about 44} to 45i.

The follo w i ng discoveries and determinations recently made by the hydrographic party of the coast survey em' played on the Nantucket Shoals, under the command of Lieutenant C. 11. Davis, United States Navy, aleof suf ficient importance to be communicated immediately. They wid be trunsfirred at the close of the season to the preliminary charts of the Nantucket Shoals:- 1. A shoal, 2i to 3 miles long, making off from the southern extremity of Great Rip, with which it is con nected by a short ride of 3f fathoms. This shoal lies in a N. by W. and S. by E. direction (wag.), and has only 8 feet on it in several places. The distance between the eastern end of the south shoal and the new determination is only 6/ miles. The southern limit of danger on Great Rip is 15 miles from the shore. Vessels passing to the southward of Great Rip, or to the eastward of the Old Nantucket south shoal, should be careful to govern themselves accord ingly. The centre of the shoal bears from Sankaty Head S. E. E. (snag.), and S. 62 30 (true)-13i miles distant. 2. A small shoal, having only 8 beet of water on it in one spot, which bears N. / Vs. (mag.), and N. 11 W. (true) from eastern end of Old South Shoal-4/ miles distant. 3. A small shoal, with 16 feet on it, a little to north ward aid eastward of the preceding, bearing N. by E. k E.
