Excuses for theft are, without question, calculated to render society lax in its moral character. And hence it has always been that the virtues of Lace daimon have shone with a spurious lustre amidst the beautiful sobriety of the Hellenes. When the Spar tan youth, hiding the stolen fox under his chlamys, allowed his vitals to be devoured without a groan rather than reveal the fact of his larceny, it is impos sible not to regard the robber with an admiration very materially modified by disgust. The incident is as revolting as that recounted by the Greek historians of the Helots being soddened to a state of intoxica tion by wine in order to render them repulsive examples of the effects of drunken ne.s. Wherever, in short, virtue has been incul cated through a vicious medium, or rice ennobled by a geeble colouring of morality, the effect has in variably been to deteriorate the character of those among whom such noxious principles have been propagated. One excuse, however, there unquestionably is for theft, or rather, we should say, one decided palliation. It is a palliation, too, such as no moralist whatsoever will have the hardihood to deny. We mean, of course, the excuse or palliation of hunger. When a man dressed with a slang affectation of fashion—his coat a paletot, his cravat a Joinville-tie, his bat gossamer, hi s r i ngs mosa i c, h i s cane Malacca— steals your purse o r y our snu ff-b ox while seated next you in an omnibus, y ou are certa i n l y prone to regard him as more culpable than the unfortunate wretch who has just been driven unrelieved from the porch of the workhouse, and has incontinently purloined a penny loaf from the next baker's. And the culpabi lity of the latter is still further diminished if, in proof of his destitution, he is found to be devouring the bread when captured by the policeman ; while the just ma gistrate is disposed to mitigate the punishment if the offender is shown to be no idle vagabond, but an honest and industrious labourer, thrown out of em ployment by illness, by calamity, by stagnation of trade, or by any one of those countless casualties to which the poor are at different intervals subjected. An occurrence of precisely this character will be found recounted in another part of this evening's im pression, in a paragraph relating to the petty ses sion of Buckinghamshire. It will be perceived from this paragraph that a railway labourer, deprived of work in consequence of the temporary suspension of the local railway, pulled two growing turnips in a field belonging to a farmer of Steeple Claydon. The poor fellow was munching one of those crude vegetables when taken into cus tody on Friday. On Saturday he was tried before the Buckinghamshire pet session, and—for this miserable theft of two growing turnips, a theft per petrated under the influence of extreme hunger — the man was sentenced to twenty-one days imprisonment in the Aylesbury gaol, in default of payment of two shillings and of thirteen shillings and sixpence ex penses ! Really one would imagine that the growing turnips of Steeple Claydon were as precious as the esculents growing in the magic garden of ALADDIN. Or, at the least, that there was a pro portionate penalty to the idle lopping, or tearing up by the roots, of a sappling ash. In Attica, according ,to I , lIUCYDIDES (or, as Mr. GROTE and his admirer, the schoolmaster of Pisistratus Caxton, would have us THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, write it, Thukudideis), the destruction of an olive plant was severely punishable among the Athenians• Nor was this surprising, when it is remembered that he olive was said, by one of the most popular myths of the " violet-crown'd city," to have been originally a gift from the hands of the presiding goddess of the Parthenon. To render the incarceration of the un fortunate railway labourer at Aylesbury at all reasonable in our estimation, however, it will be necessary to show that the turnip was originally bestowed upon the agriculturists of Buckinghamshire by some Mins:Ave of the vegetable kingdom, whose wrath was dreaded by the magistrates present at the petty session. Seriously, we regard such decisions as the one to which we are here alluding as a direct and flagrant violation of the principles of justice; and we would here hold the incident up to the merited indignation of the public. Had the gentlemen upon whom devolved all the judicial responsibilities of the session taken into their consideration the trivial nature of the charge, the misfortunes of an industrious labourer, the instigations of a craving appetite, and the very fact of the prisoner having been taken while in the act of eating one of the pilfered vegetables, they would surely have arrived at a very different con clusion—at a conclusion more in accordance with the generous tone of the criminal laws of the country. At the least they would never have dreamt of compelling an un fortunate labourer to expiate such an offence by an imprisonment of twenty-one days' duration in default of payment of fifteen shillings and sixpence. It is in consequence of arbitrary proceedings of this cha racter that the industrious classes are frequently estranged from the existing institutions. Poor and ill-informed men, witnessing such acts of tyranny inflicted with impunity upon themselves, can never be brought again to regard the Government under whose authority they are thus ground into the dust as a benign or paternal Government. They look upon each other as justified in setting the cruelties of the law at defiance, and are ultimately induced to wink at schemes of insubordination. A general improvement in railway stock of almost every denomination has been the result of the clear, straightforward, and satisfactory statement of the London and North-Western Railway Company, a copy of which was contained in The Sun of Saturday. The complete and decisive refutation of the erroneous calculations and unfounded rumours that had been circulated has enlightened the public mild as to the folly and absurdity of giving any credence to malicious insinuations, put forward by in terested parties for their own vile purposes. It has proved that " the panic" rested on no sufficient foundation, and has entirely re-established the con fidence which our own exposure of the " sayings and doings" of the "Bearish" Fraternity, and the admirable letter of Mr. HUDSON, to which we have repeatedly alluded, had partially restored. Cautious, hard headed men, who kept their money lying idle and unproductive, at a time when they might have purchased at the cheapest rate, now willingly invest at. prices ten or twenty per cent. higher than those of the early part of last week. Their over-prudence caused them to let slip the golden opportunity, to avoid taking advantage of circumstances of which " they may never see the like again." Bargains are, however, still to be obtained. The present quotations are yet far below the real value of the shares, and there is every probability that the tide which has at length turned, after ebbing so long and so continuously, will in like manner flow without let or hindrance for a prolonged period. The reaction is generally proportioned to the violence of the crisis. When the tide is unusually low, it may safely be prophesied that it will speedily rise far beyond the ordinary high water mark. So, in all probability, the reaction may be most conspicuous in the shares which have been most widely depreciated. The prices on the chief lines may be said to have improved from 15 to 20 per cent. during the last week. North-Westerns, which on Monday last were sold, perhaps we should rather say quoted, at 1 discount, realised 18 premium on Saturday. Within the same period Great Westerns sprung from 671. to all.; Midlands, from 66 to 78; Eastern Counties, from 11i to 131 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, from 21 to 26 ; York and North Midland, from 42 to 52 ; South-Eastern, from 20 to 23 ; London, Brighton and South Coast, from '25 to 28f ; London and South-Western, from 36 to 40 ; Chester and Holyhead, from 18f to 211. A similar improvement took place in almost every other line, so that the " Bears " will have to provide for heavy claims, more especially if the stock which they have undertaken to supply should be demanded at their hands, and the purchasers should refuse to accept the differences. Such a course would, indeed, completely turn the tables, and convince those gentlemen how dangerous a game they have been playing. They have al- ready sustained a most signal defeat. It will probably be even more decisive, when " the statement " has circulated throughout the country, and provincial capitalists send instructions to their London agents to make font fide purchases on their account. But, although " the snake is scotched, it is not killed," and those interested in railway property should spare no exertions to complete the discomfi ture, and to destroy the evil influences of their mortal enemies. This can only be effectually achieved by legis• lative enactments, such as those to which we have already adverted, and which will undoubtedly be passed, if the great interest that has been so unscrupulously assailed, and which suffered so fearfully thereby, should de• mand protection from Parliament. Much, however, may be done by the parties themselves. If, as was suggested by an esteemed correspondent, whose let ter appeared in The Sun of Saturday, every purchase r of shares insisted upon the transfer being effected with all convenient speed, and intimated that if any unnecessary delay took place he would consider his order cancelled, and the stock purchased at the risk of the broker, the " Bears" would be deprived of their great oppor- tunity. The subterfuges to which they resort in order to avoid the fulfilment of their contract until they have had an opportunity of depressing the market, and inducing timid shareholders to dispose of their property at any price by their infamous inven tions and unflinching mendacity, is now unfortunately hut too notorious. A stern and uncompromising spirit should be exhibited towards them, and the slightest indulgence should not be afforded to those unprincipled gamblers who take upon themselves to sell that which is not in their actual possession, and who can only obtain the profits they seek by the injury and de preciation of their neighbours' property. They are a common enemy, and should be dealt with, without compunction, whenever they fall into the power of their intended v i c ti ms . I n f act, lik e t h e I s h mae lit es , " their bands are aga i nst every man, " an d every man's hand should be directed against them in turn. , ARRTING OUT TRU LAW WITII At the Buckingham potty !session on Saturday last, James Robinson, a railway labourer, out of work from the temporary suspension of the Buckinghamshire Railway in consequence of the unfavourable weather, was committed to Ayles bury gaol for twenty-one days in default of payment of two shillings penalty and thirteen and sixpence expenses for having, on the previous day, stolen two growing turnips from a field in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Harper, farmer, Steeple Claydon. It appeared he was taken into custody when coming from the field with the turnips, one of which he was eating at the time, because, as he told the officer, he was so hungry. When searched he was found to be without money. lie had worked , for few days in the last few weeks for Mr. Clark, a sub-contractor on the above railway line. The cause alleged for pressing the charge was that the prosecutor had been robbed of turnips to a great extent. , The Observer of Oct. 29 cont a ined—Orieial State ment(! of the North-Western R a il wap two coleanns rise of 151. share—lnsurrection at Lila „Jape: f;',l% of t he 13 7..ers—D o in gs o f t h e French Guards in L Boers—Latest Paris Drama: Salaroiendosonffrom__Perfr, Viensr., and Italy—Th e Trial and Conviction of G.

We have received the French papers of Saturday and yesterday. The approaching election for President occupies almost exclusively the attention of our Parisian contemporaries at the present moment. The question of the candidateship of M. DE LAMARTINE is at length set at rest. He will serve if elected. M. DE LAMARTINE has addressed the following letter on this subject to the Journal des Debuts : " St. Point, near Macon, Oct. 26. " Sir,—l read in the Debats an article borrowed from the Courrier de la Gironde, and beg permission to correct it. I made the following answer to a cor respondent at Bordeaux :---` I do not put myself for ward as a candidate for the Presidency. I pray to God and my friends to keep from me a burthen so much beyond my strength. But, if the country should think proper to appoint me to this magistracy, I do not think I have any more right to refuse ;it than I thought myself warranted on February 24 to refuse the designation of th• people, and leave Paris without a Government. Ido not believe that lam in any degree threatened with such a danger, and I only correct the Courrier de la Gironde in order to avoid all misundentanding. To solicit the Presi dency would be ridiculous; to desire it would be rash ; to refuse it would be wanting to the Republic and the country. lam devoid of this ambition, but incapable of such an act of cowardice. " LAMARTINE." The National Guards of Cluny having gone to the country seat of M. DE LAHARTIME to congratulate him on his arrival, he addressed them in a speech, from which we give the following extract " Do not believe, citizens, that in responding to the idea of your commandant, and speaking to you on the election of the President of the Republic, I make the least allusion to myself. France has hundreds of citizens much more capable and worthy than I am to preside over her sublime but difficult destinies. I repeat to you that I am far from desiring that a burthen so disproportionate to my powers should ever be cast upon me. I desire but one title, but one epitaph on my tomb, when I shall repose in it upon these hills whence I can view the towers of Cluny— the title of being the founder, with you, of that re public of order, security, humanity, and peace, on which I have, in fact, twenty times risked my life, and for which I am still ready to risk a thousand times more than my life—my share in the remem brances of posterity. Citizens, before we part permit me to say a few words on the general affairs with which your minds are so legitimately occupied at this moment. Every day since my return here I have been accosted, questioned, and interrogated—' What think you of the Republic? Will it endure ? Will it become regulated ? Will it become victorious and calm after the clouds of doubt, the convulsions which always agitate great and new-born things in their cradles ? Will it bring forth the happiness and welfare of a suffering people— the glory of the nation, the admiration of Europe ?' Citizens, this is the answer I give to all, as I have given to myself frequently when reflecting upon our futurity. I have said to myself—either the people will be worthy, or they will be unworthy, the enjoy ment of the republican institutions which we have given to them. If they do not comprehend the mean ing of the word t republic'—if they confound republic with revolution in permanence, with agitation with out end and object—if they confound it with agitation of classes against classes, of the rich against the poor —if they see a perpetual flood of wilful idlers on the public ways, misusing, in demonstrations, reclaims tons, conspiracies against the public peace, that time and those energies which God has bestowed upon them to be employed for their families and their country—if they listen to these blunderers in dates, confounders of times an sense, these Epimenides of 1792, who, like the first Epimenides, slept for 50 years without being aware of the progress which had in the meantime been made in society, during their sleep of half a century, in reason, in knowledge, in experience of self, in conscience, in patriotism, in moral and religious feelings—if toasts be given to the sinister days of 1793, with those posthumous tribunes of a terrorism which filled every man with dread and horror—if, with them, outcries be raised for war without enemies, violence without pretext, blood with out thirst—oh then, indeed, the Republic will perish, stifled with the drunkenness of evil doctrines and false patriotism; for scandals are not institutions, and last only a very short time. Europe and our children will with blushes call upon us, saying, But what is this France which has exhausted so many efforts, so much heroism, so much blood, to conquer order by the people for the people, and yet did not know, after having made the conquest, how to preserve it from the excesses of faction ?—(Ap plause.) But, if the people he worthy of the Republic, ' as your presence her. attests (as the conformity of your sentiments and mine here and elsewhere certi fies); if the Republic is in your eyes only the sove reignty of the law, justice, and order; if, instead of sapping the eternal bases of the state, of family ties, of property, of morality, and good sense, the people would join us in raising up on these bases the en larged and improved edifice of popular and practical institutions, which are progressive and profitable to all—in a word, if the people resembles in its immense majority, you citizens, who are here applauding these sentiments because they are yours—if they resemble those admirable populations of the towns and coun tries whom I have seen for successive days coming to hail their own ideas of a republic in mine —then, citizens—yes, then, be assured the Republic will en dure, will become regulated, restrained, consolidated ; for you will be its defenders, and the children of your children will one day come, as we do both here and elsewhere, to salute upon these hills one of the cradles of that revolution, which will become the last dynasty of the people and the monarchy of reason and the law 1" The Presss supports the candidateship of Louis NAPOLEON, and that it would do so was evident for two reasons ; first, the committing the destinies of the Republic to a man who, according to the Presse of 1841, " has no more intellect than heart, who paraded like a mountebank at the tournament at Eglintoun, and displayed every evening his nullity among the dandies of Drury-lane," who is "not even the chief of a party, but only the wretched caricature of one" (thus was Prince Louis NAPOLEON designated by M. Emu,' DE GIRARnIN in the Presse of 1841), could not but be damaging to the cause of the Republic; and secondly, Prince Louis NAPOLEON is the candidate of the Emperor of RUSSIA, and M. EMILE DE GIRAR DIN has never disguised his desire to see France Cossack. The National has the following on the support given to the cause of Louis NAPOLEON by La Presse:- 4t We were curious to see what reception the press would give to the candidateship of M. Louis Bona- I parte. With one exception, and we shall just now declare which, the journals show but little enthusiasm for the candidate to the Presidentship. The Con.stitu tionnel alone embarrasses us, and we do not know in what category to class it. If we did not fear to be indiscreet, we should demand from it what it thinks; but M. Thiers perhaps does not care to speak. No thing contrasts more with that excessively prudent reserve than the Presse. It speaks out, and we look on it as the decided organ of the imperial candidate. To set forth M. Bonaparte, the Presse has found a precious argument. What in its eyes constitutes the merit of the Prince is that he will have no other care than to last; that he has entered into engagements with no one, that he has no opinion whatever, and that in fact he can very well play the part of Victor;;;., provided he finds a Lord J. Russell. The Freed can point him out such a one if necessary, and you can understand why the country cannot make a better choice. IL Louis Bonaparte, says the Presge, is the future. We are sorry to say it, but its candi date has not even that negative valour which it is so proud of. He even has a pi'st life of great gravity ; at Strasburg and Boulogne, he was not satisfied with assuming the dress of the Emperor, he issued procla mations ; since then pamphlets have been published. It is there that his thoughts and sentiments on the men and things of that time must be sought for. Let us not speak of the future before having examined the past. Destitute of his title of representative of the future, M. Louis Bonaparte requires to seek another designation. lie will not go far Presse has [very humorously called General Cavaignac the incarnation of the National. Why en his side should not M. Louis Bonaparte be the incarnation of the Presse ? We should very well agree to it." We read in the Sit'x/e-- "The day on which the nation shall have spoken, the candidate to whom we ilo not now &Insider Nve C ".l accord our co-operation will he fully invested, in cur eyes, with the authority which universal suffrage alone can confer. On that day, in reserving to our selves the right to judge his conduct, we will not con test the t h r i wj y t 0 1 test the legality of his mandate, and, if he should meet be sincerely g gal resistance, we should be with him for the vv ,eii maintenance tiewiti s o n f o r w igh m t m an se d i t o l f n themloayres.lnolut be -- t - h - at : . - t- lil - , , • ~•• - J_..-'- Gni - 10FG). and Nvith of t t h h e e moderation which belongs to genius, of name which he bears.

Louis Bonaparte in the Assembly, a very animated discussion took place in one of the lobbies of the Chamber between the above gentleman and M. Etienne Arago. The latter was in conver sation with M. Jerome Bonaparte when his cousin joined them. M. Etienne Arago, addressing him, said, ' I have been telling your cousin that our reason for opposing you is, that, even should you wish to remain in the pale of Republicanism, you will he driven by the mass behind you to march towards monarchy; for what impels you forward is the igno rance of the country people and the Imperial fetish ism." But, M. Arago,' replied Louis Bonaparte, must not attention be paid to the majority?' And it is for that reason,' said M. Arago, that I iwould postpone the election of the President, in order that the nation may be told that you have no claim, either personal Gr even borrowed, to the Presidency of the Republic ; that the reflection of the extinguished star with which you you l e l— o r e ' a An . h Yes, four b uncle flection.' —‘ It appears to me,' replied Louis Napoleon, that I can find in the past life of my uncle some re membrancesw a :Consul I u n bd o ee f frosrt t ea h nh e a e l sa p t u E b mp Republic.'—' e i c m saidut thatA. Arago, remembrance is not encouraging for us, for the Consul soon transformed himself, and the monarchies have only left in our recollection the idea of Em peror. Look at the poor country people on whose votes you reckon ; they have in their humble cottages plaster busts and coloured prints ; but whom do they represent ? Is it Bonaparte or Napoleon ? And the lithographic prints which are now hawked about from village to village, and from workshop to workshop, paid for by I know not whom, what period of the life of your uncle do they represent? Is he shown to the people as a general of the Republic, with the military costume of the immortal campaigns of Italy ? No; it is with the grey greatcoat of the Emperor and King ; in a word, it is Napoleon, always Napoleon, and never Bonaparte. That, stir, is why no sincere and enlightened Republican wll vote for you.' M. Louis Bonaparte turned on his heel and walked away without saying a word. The above dialogue took place in a group of at least SO representatives, the greater part of whom expressed their approbation to M. Etienne Arago of what he had said." The Bill on the transportation of the insurgents of June to Algeria was, on Friday, taken into consi deration by the Committees of the National As sembly. The principle of the Bill was at once adopted as an act of humanity, good policy, and necessity. Most of the speakers upon it insisted upon its necessity, as both moral and political, in maintaining the severity of the penal laws ; and they expressed a hope that the convicts may ere long become useful members of society, by forming establishments in Algeria, or by returning into the mother country. M. MONTROL, the author of the primitive proposition, called attention to the report of the Commission instituted by the Minister of Marine, which states that the Committee could not find at any point of the globe a locality better cal culated than Algeria for insuring health and security. The expense of transporting 4,000 convicts from Brest to Algeria was estimated at no more than 500,000 francs, while that of conveying them to Madagascar would amount to more than 5,000,000 f. The members of the Commission on Penitentiary Reform have announced a disposition to recommend that all convicts should be transported into Algeria, which would thus become the general Penitentiary of France. But in this case the insur gents of June would not be mingled with the ordi nary convicts. M. MARTIN (Strasburg), though supporting the Bill in general, expressed a wish that some of the insurgents of the departments who had been seduced into the insurrection, and whose rela tions wished to have them restored to their families, should be exempted from transportation. A few of the members belonging to the ultra-democratic party of the National Assembly, as MM. BUVIGNIER, GERMAN SARRUT, and others, declared themselves to be adverse to the Bill, in the hope of a general amnesty. M. DE Riccr, the new Sardinian Envoy, presented his credentials to General CAVAIGNAC on Friday. The Moniteur notifies that the certificates of origin which, pursuant to the convention of the 16th of September, 1846, with Russia were necessary for the admission to Russian ports of French merchandise, in exemption of the surtaxes on inevigation, cease to be exacted. Moreover, ,French vessels sent from the French ports in the Channel and the Atlantic will enjoy in Russia the same treatment as national Yes sels, even if they should have stopped at a port on their way, provided they do not take anything on board. France, on its part, accords to Russian ves sels reciprocity of these measures, favourable to the commerce and navigation of the twe countries. The ilfeniteur also announces the appointment of M. RECIIRT to the Prefecture of the Seine, in the roosn of M. Tnouvs CHAUYEL. The National Assembly was engaged on Friday and Saturday in discussing the details of the mode in which the election of President of the Republic , the number of polling places, are of no interest whatever to an & s shall m b a e t t c e o r s n du whichc e d English reader. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Ocs. 28. Northern of France, 6 6—Paris and Lyons, s—Ditto, ditto, 414—Rouea and Havre, 7 had officially declared that he would consider the bombardment of Vienna as a cases belli with France. The English envoy is also stated to have protested against the seige of Vienna. The Viennese are said to be in possession of 120 pieces of artillery. The passenger trains on the Northern Railway were to be completely suspended on the 22d, and no one was to be allowed to leave Vienna. Part of the army of WINDISCHGRAETZ had arrived at Florisdorf, where the inhabitants had removed psrt of the bridge. On the 20th the Austrian Diet at Vienna issued the new proclamation to the people, which we yes terday stated it had adopted. In this document it states " that it had done everything in its power to effect a pacific solution of existing differences, and had in vain endeavoured to procure the retreat of the Croatian army." The proclamation then justifies the arming of the people of the capital by the forcible disarming by the imperial troops in the environs of Vienna of the National Guards legally organised, and the arrest and detention of some Members of the Diet. The proclamation concludes by an earnest exhortation to the people to have confidence in the Diet and abstain from anarchy. In the sitting of the Diet on the 21st the President stated that the address to his MAJESTY had been sent by a courier to 011mutz, and that the following letter had been received from the deputation of the Central Power at Frankfort. V " In announcing their arrival by these presents the Committee have forwarded their proclamation. They wish that it may 1)9 provisionally published, in order to their having a welcome, and that hostilities be suspended. " The deputation of the Ldentral Power, " WETCKE R. " MOLKSE." The Minister stated that, in consequence of [the receipt of the Imperial manifesto, and the letter from the Plenipotentiaries of the Central Power, it would be expedient to remain in stetu quo for the present, and wait for further overtures. The journal of the Austrian Lloyd gives detailed accounts of the state and excitement of Vienna. The Imperial palace, it was reported, and all the other public buildings, were filled with gunpowder. They were to be blown up as soon as the first piece of artillery should be hoisted against Vienna. It was also said that the Hungarians, by order of Kossuth, had fallen back four miles (German), and that they sent a deputation to Vienna, stating that they merely intended to reorganise their army, and were ready to fly to Vienna at the first signal ; but as it was expected that this appeal would not be made by the present Committee for Public Safety, who are in clined for peace, Dr. SCHUTTE convoked a popular Assembly for the 23d instant, for the purpose of constituting another committee which should act with more resolution. Accounts in the Borsenhalle of the 26th instant state, that WINDISCIIGRATZ had notified to the Vien nese, that if they did not surrender by the evening of the 24th, he would bombard the city on the next day. The Viennese replied, that, if he carried his threat into execution, they would immediately hang the two Imperial generals who were in their own hands. Letters from Vienna of the 21st instant in the Kolnische Zeitung, state that the conditions laid down by WINDISCHGRATZ for a peaceful agreement with the city are—The complete disarmament of those who have taken arms since the 6th of October, the dispersion of the Academical Legion, the closing of the University, and the extradition of Count LATOUR'S murderers. A letter from Breslau of tha 234 says :—" The Imperial troops are beginning to construct a bridge at Kloster Neuburg. A deputation of students has set out for 011mutz with proposals for a mediation." A letter in the Augsburg Gazette of the 20th says :—There is no longer any doubt as to the entry of the Russians. The two Hungarian regiments gar risoned at Lemberg, which appeared inclined to set out for Vienna, as well as a regiment of infantry, which testified sympathy for Vienna, had been de clared in a state of mutiny. The garrison of Lem berg is 17,000 men strong." The account from 011mutz are to the 20th October. The following is a list of the new Minis-try : Prince SCHWARTARNBEG, Minister of War. M. CAI:IIII'AR° MATER, Minister of the Interior. M. BRUCK, Commerce and Public Works. The present Ministers, WESSBNIIIinG, KHANS, and BACII, the latter of whom has arrived as a fugitive at Nuremberg, will retain their portfolios. The President of the Diet of the Tyrol and the Vice.. President of the Government of Innspruck have issued a proclamation, called on the people to rally round the EMPEROR. The Diet has been convoked to settle some affairs, and afford support to constitu tional liberty and the dynasty. The Pesth Gazette of the 16th says that a certain Polish peasant named Simoisicu (who it is sup posed took an active part in the Gallician massacres last year), has entered Hungary at the head of a band of armed peasants. A reward of 100 florins is offered for the apprehension of SIMONICLI, and 20 florins for each member of his band. The corps of Croats, which had been ineffectually attacked on the 9th by the National Guard of Oeden burg, has been beaten by General MOGA. The affair took place on the 11th inst. One third of the enemy was cut to pieces, a second taken prisoner, and the remainder dispersed. The Silesian Gazette publishes advices from Vienna to the 24th, but their authenticity cannot be relied on. It is as follows : " A traveller, who left the railway station at Florisdorf, near Vienna, on the 24th October, 1848, says : " Since last night the city is completely blockaded. Prince Windischgratz removed his head-quarters, yesterday at noon, from Stammersdorf to the palace at Schonbrunn. This evening the twenty-four hours which he had given to the town to capitulate expired, and the town was immediately hemmed in by the troops. The report of heavy guns was heard shortly after ; the guns of the citizens near the bridges over the Danube were discharged at the Imperial troops to prevent their advance, but the Imperial batteries replied so vigorously that three guns were soon dismantled. The first sortie of the Viennese was made on the Nussdorf line, but with little result. It is reported that the Ilungarins have attacked Jel lachich's camp. " At half-past three in the afternoon the two bridges (the rail way and Danube bridge) were cleared. White flags were hoisted upon them, and the troops crossed. " The artillery is still firing along the Nussdorf line, and an hotel outside the lines is one mass of flames. " A conflagration is also risible in the Wieden faubourg, and the two little bridges over the so-called Kaiserwasser, a branch of the Danube, were set on fire at six in the evening, to prevent the advance of the troops. " A keavy fire is now heard in the Brigitenau.'" WINDISCIIGRATZ having declared Vienna in a state of siege, and proclaimed martial law in the surround.. ing districts, MESSBNIWISEII, commander of the Na tional Guard, immediately published the following notice : " Fellow-citizens !—A. placard signed Windisch griitz appeared for a short time at the corner of the streets. The Reichstag, true to its duty, has de cis,cd the threatened state of siege and martial law to be illegal. We shall see whether Windischgratz and Wessenberg will obey the dictates of the legal repre sentatives of the people. Citizens! All hopes of a peaceful solution are not at an end; but every inha bitant, from old to young, must be on his guard. I now for the first time commence the most important portion of my duty, which is to place Vienna in a state of defence. Follow the example of the brave in habitants of Buda Pesth (offen). Let every soul— men, women, and children—labour night and day i n erecting barricades and entrenchments." The Estrzuon refused to receive the deputation of Common Council at Olmutz, but published Count WESSENBERG'S reply to this deputation, which is a s follows : " The address of the Vienna Common Council has been la;3 before his Majesty ; but as it cont a i ns re quests with which his Majesty cannot comply at the present moment, I am directed, therefor e , th at all further requests respecting the restoration of tran quillity at Vienna must be addressed to the Genera.. lissimo of the army, Windischgriitz, who is furnished with the requisite full powers.

Afadrid journals of the 24th have arrived. All Madrid was startled from its propriety on the morning of that day by the announcement that NAR • VAEZ had suddenly left the city in the course of the preceding night. The han gers - on o f th e C our t were at great pains to impress the public with an idea that he had only gone on an excursion to Alcala, and would return shortly. The prevailing opinion, how ever, was, that he had set out for Catalonia to take the command against the Carlists, who are making great progress in Catalonia and Arragon. On the 22d Senor MONTANES, a Progressista De puty, was arrested in the palace, close to the QUEEN'S bedchamber. He was unarmed, and was evidently insane. It appears he had arrived from Saragossa, where he had been under medical treatment for some time. The unfortunate lunatic was conveyed to the hospital.

The democratic Burgher Guard union declares that they are called upon as a point of honour to reject the proffered thanks contained in this Council order, as well co the motives on which they are grounded. For it is evident that this Cabinet order is dictated by anti- popular sentiments, by senti ments not having their roots in our March revolution, from sentiments which are of a directly opposite nature, and for which the democratic Burgher Guard of the capital are resolved to live, labour, and perish."

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. THE HAGUE, OCT. 27.—1 n the sitting this day the President announced to the Assembly that the First Chamber had adhered: to the project of the address in reply to the speech from the Throne, and that the Committee charged with presenting this address to the KING was present to give an account of its mission. M. VAN DAM VAN ISSNTT, President of the Com mittee, stated that after the Committee had been re ceived by the KING, and his MAJESTT had heard the address, he made the following reply : " Noble and Mighty Lords, I receive this address with very lively satisfaction. I have ever attached much value to a perfect concordance of opinions between representatives of the people and myself, but, under present circumstances, this unanimity of opi nion assumes a double value in my eyes. " I must express to you the gratitude and satis faction which I feel at this moment. I cherish the firm conviction that, so long as the Prince and the nation shall continue to walk together in the same road, and have no other object than the general welfare, the blessings of the Almighty will never be invoked in vain." In the sitting of to-morrow the project of law for covering the deficit arising from the ways and means will be discussed. STATES OF THE ZOLLVEREIN. The resolution taken by the French Government on the 10th June last, according to which a pre mium of exportation is granted to some products of national industry, has induced the Union of the Ger man Customs to make reprisals, and it has charged these same articles with higher duties on their im portation into the States of the Zollverein. Inde pendently of this, in consequence of the general tendency which the decree of the Customs' Union indicates, several Governments, besides that of the Netherlands, have addressed the Cabinet at Berlin respecting the proposition on which the resolution of the Diet was framed, and have made representations against the application of this measure on the mer cantile products of other countries. Ho wever, as it is probable that the resolution which will be adopted on these divers representations may be yet retarded some time, it is probable that increased duties may be de manded also on these same products on their impor tation into the Zollverein. It is therefore the interest of Dutch merchants that they provide themselves beforehand with the neces sary certificates of origin. These documents will afterwards be available for reclaiming the restitution of the increase of duty which they may have been obliged to pay, if, as may be anticipated, the mea sure in question may be made to extend to products of Netherlands manufacture. Yesterday, at seven o'clock in the evening, there was a Cabinet Council, which lasted till eleven o'clock. On the same evening the Council of the State held an extraordinary sitting, which sat till a late hour.— Journal de la Haye, Oct. 2s. SWITZERLAND. The Bishop of Famonact was arrested on the 25th, for having taken part in an attempt to overthrow the Government. The insurrection was suppressed. ITALY• Advices from Venice C;l' the 13th state, that the Austrians have abandoned Mestre. The I'ressc contains an article given as communi cated which states that the German central power has just made by its representative, M. Ihca.scilEa, overtures to the Sardinian Cabinet for the purpose of facilitating an honourable peace between Austria and King CHARLES ALBERT. In order to prove that this step only emanates from a sincere desire to maintain universal peace in the common interest of Europe I\l, HICKSCHER is charged to inform the Court of Turin that the German central power has already taken all the necessary measures to aid Austria to repel a new aggression on the part of Sardinia. Whilst the troops of the German Confederation have been placed at the orders of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, in order that this latter might not need either to call to his aid against the insurgents of Vienna Marshal RADETSRT, nor to weaken the Austrian army in Lombardy, the Bavarian contingent, the communication declares, is ready to enter the Tyro and Styria, as soon as Mar shal RADETZKY should demand reinforcements to sup port the struggle in Lombardy with energy. After having thus warned the Sardinian Government of the dangers which it runs in continuing a war, the chances of which have not hitherto been favourable to it, the central German power declares a conviction that no foreign government is more naturally called on to act as mediator than itself, and expresses a hope that its efforts may be successful. The Piedmontesa Gazette of the 23d iast. announces that King CHARLES ALBERT had appointed Baron EuSEBE BAVI. General-in-Chief of the royal army; Lieutenant-General CURZANOWSKI Chief of the Ge neral Staff; General A. OLIVIERI Commander-Ge neral of the troops of the division of Alessandria ; and General RAMORINO Commander-General of the Lom bard troops. The Patria of Florence of the 21st publishes six te legraphic dispatches from MONTANELLI to the GRAND DuxE, all dated the 20th, and sent between 11 A.M. and 4 P.M., which prove the state of agitation at Leg horn on that day. These dispatches contain in sub stance, that an armed demonstration is in progress at Leghorn, and emissaries are being sent to the differ ent parts of Tuscany; that the people in arms are occupying the forts and the gates ; that hostages will be required; and that the Governor has no more power, and wishes to leave, but is retained. By two subsequent telegraphic dispatches from the Minister of the Interior, MONTANELLI wa s ordered to lay down his powers if his authority wa s not recognised, and to repair to Florence. He arrived in fact at 11 P.M., by an extraordinary railroad train. The Alba of Florence of the evening of the 21st, how ever, states that tranquillity had been restored at Leghorn. Some persons had attempted to plant a tree of liberty there. MONTANELLI had hastened to the spot, and harangued the people, who loudly cheered him. Several agitators had been arrested. The Patria of Florence of the 21st states that G.A.5.4.0 BALDI has opened registers for such volunteers as . will follow him to Loml?atkly, where he ietends waging a war of eiderbi t tnation, giving no quarter and accepting . none. ~ Many young men have already inscribed their names.

With the exception of the supply of English Barley being somewhat on the increase—though it was small, the time of year considered—the arrivals of all kinds of grain, as well as flour, of home-produce, during the last wet k, were on a very limited scale, and of but middling quality. A few cargoes of Oats came to hand from Ire land; but the receipts from Scotland were unusually small. Owing to the boisterous weather, and the change in the wind, the imports of Grain from abroad exhibited a falling off, compared with those in the two preceding weeks ; but those of Flour—principally from France— were rather heavy. The total quantities were as follows: —Wheat, 15,260; Barley, 1,618; Oats, 1,878; Rye, 1,880; Beans, 947; Peas, 518; Tares, 81; Linseed, 12,901; and sun d ry S ee d s, 967 quarters. Flour, 1,000 barrels, and 8,633 sacks. From Essex, Kent,: Cam bridgeshire, &c., a very limited quantity of Wheat came fresh to hand for this morning's market, coastwise as well as by land-carriage, and sample. As the bulk of the supply shown on Friday was disposed of, very lee( stale parcels were brought forward to-day; hence, the:stands were scantily supplied with samples of both red and white. For all descriptions—but more particularly for selected qualities, which were extremely scarce, the, demand was firm, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, and at which a good demand was effected by, the factors. The quantity of free foreign Wheat on offer was not to say large, considering the,keavy sup plies lately received for home consumptin. Prime qualities commanded a firm inquiry, at fully last week's quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds, a fair average amount of business was doing, at late rates. Prior to the rise in the duty = on. Thursday last to 5s per quarter, 80,000 quarters were released from the bonded warehouses. There was a decided improvement in the sale for the best malting Barley, at a rise in value of from Is to, in some instances, 2a per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts were in moderate request at fully last week's cur rencies. The supply of Barley, both English and foreign, was seasonably good in quality, but small in quantity. For most kinds of Malt, ready for delivery, we had a fair inquiry, at prices quite equal to those realised on Monday last. For forward delivery but few sales took place, yet the holders were very firm. The total quan tity of Oats on show was small, nevertheless it proved quite adequate to meet the wants of the dealers. Sound Corn produced fully late rates. Otherwise, the Oat trade was is a slug gish state, but without alteration in value. Tor Beans the inquiry ruled dull, at last week's prices. Grey and Maple Yeas were tolerably steady, at fully last Monday's quotations. White parcels rated dull. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected. The top price or the best town-made Flour was 48s per 280 lbs. All kinds of Flour were a slow inquiry. • CURRENCY 1.2 t IMPERIAL MEASURE.

At the northern ontports nearly 1,200 head of stock have been landed from Holland, and 120 oxen have'beea received at Southampton from Spain. Several steamers having arrived from Holland laden with-stock since Sa turday, the supply of Beasts on sale this - morning from abroad rwas very extensive, but of middling quality. Sheep and Calves, the numbers of which were large, were in full average condition. For all breeds the de mend was heavy in the extreme, and though the im porters submitted to considerably lower rates. nearly one-third left the market unsold. As a large portion of the general supply exhibited on Friday last, viz., 800 Beasts, 4,000 Sheep, and 200 Calves, was not disposed of, there was a decided increase in it this morning; that of Beasts was nearly 5,000 head, and there was a great improvement in their quality. The attendance of , both town and country buyers was good; nevertheless, as the weather was unfavourable for slaughtering, and the sup ply was greater than the butchers could take off, the Beef trade was excessively heavy, at a decline in the prices paid on Monday last of quite 2d, in some instances 4d, per 81bs. The highest general top price for Beef was 3s 10, but a few very superior Scots produced 4s per Mb.. Nearly 500 Beasts were turned out unsold. From Lin— colnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we re ceived about 1,800 short-horns ; from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 1,200 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, short-horns, &c.; from other parts of Engla n d, 400 o f various bre e ds. The remainder of the bullock supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis. There was a consi• derable increase in the supply of Sheep, owing to which the Mutton trade was extremely dull. All breeds were selling at 2d par Blbs less money than that paid on Monday last, or at Friday's reduction in value. The highest figure for the few old Downs on offer was 4s 10d per Blbs. We were heavily supplied with foreign Calves, but the number of those home-ted was small. 'The Veal trade was unusually dull, at 4d per 81bs less money.. The highest quotation was 4a per 81bs.

The supplies on offer slaughtered in the metro polis have been large; owing to which, and the previil ing damp weather, the general demand has ruled ex cessively heavy, at a decline in prices of from 2d to, in some instances, 4.d per Sibs.
