Prussia is at last fully sucked into the vortex of the reactionary movement. FREI:OIEIUL WILHELM has thrown off the domino of constitutional reformer— that flimsy disguise in which he has masqueraded with as much eclat as the most practised debardeur at the Carnival. The bombardment of Vienna by WIN DISCHGRATS has proved not only calamitous to the Austrians, but fraught with danger and misery to "My Beloved Berliners !" The King of PRUSSIA only tarried for some sort of encouragement, and that he has at last found in the butchery of the Viennese by the soldiers of FERDINAND. Finding that the glory of a political charlatan was not precisely the one most after the taste of the German Parliament at Frankfort-on-the- Maine, finding, in fact, that the budding diadem of the German EMPEROR already encircled the brow of the Archduke JOHN, and that the assumed sincerity of the house of Brandenburg already stunk in the nostrils of the German population FREDERICK WILHELM repented his precipitate manifesto in favour of an united fatherland, and resolved at the first opportunity to retrograde to the old state of things. He has just recognised the opportunity in the success of the kindred Sovereign of Austria. One capital has been stormed and captured. The other must be insulted and taken in like manner. Vienna has fallen under the yoke of Prince WINDISCHGRATZ. Berlin must succumb to that of Count BRANDER.. BURG. In the interval of his potations at Potsdam the KING resolved upon this hazardous step of retro gression. The dies are being thrown even at this moment, and it is difficult to conjecture who will prove the winner—the people or the Prince—the re presentatives of 16,000,000, or the Cabinet chosen from a coterie—the Prussians themselves, or the Pruisian Sovereign. Our intelligence from Berlin, published among the foreign correspondence of The Sun of yesterday and of this evening, has fully explained the progress of events in that city, from the nomination of the unpo pular Count VON BRAI4DENBURG to the occupation of the metropolis by the soldiery. A retrospect may however, be unprofitable in this time of political fluctuation and of state catastrophes, inas much as it may serve to impress upon the public mind the actual posture of affairs in the Prussian metropolis, and the relation in which the MONARCH stands at this moment towards the multitude whose happiness he has so long pretended to cherish. In consequence of the differences which had latterly sprung up between the Diet and the KING in re ference to the men chosen by the latter to participate in the labours of the Administration—FßEDEßlClC WILHELM determined to try the temper of his sword upon the stubborn neck of the Parliament. He an nounced definitively, in spite of the opposition of the Deputies, that his Government should stand as follows: BRA.NDENBURG. LADENBEEG. President Public Worship Interior ••• • • MANTENTS EL , War ••• •• STROTEA. Justice KISKER. Finance KUHNS. Commerce .. ••• POMMER-ESCH. After issuing the ordinance containing this an nouncement, the KING dispatched a royal message to the Assembly, which message was read in the sitting of the 9th instant, the date of the document being, with a bitter parody—Sans Souci Therein it was solemnly proclaimed to the Diet that FREDERICK WILHELM IV., "by the grace of GoD," King of PRUSSIA, &c. &c., having at repeated times, &c. &c., observed that the Members of the Assembly convoked for the settlement of a constitu tion had been personally insulted for certain of their votes, &c. &c., therefore decreed that the Assembly should discontinue its sittings immediately after the message was p eru sed, and should meet again, on the 27th instant, at Brandenburg! Here, then, the screen was hea ten down at last, and the people saw clearly into the face and the heart, the policy 2nd the intention.; of the con,titutional SOVEREIGN. Since the above coup detat the soldiers have marched into Berlin, and taken possession of the capital—the Diet, in defiance of every opposition, declaring their inflexible determination to continue their sittings un interruptedly, and calling upon the Burgher Guard to shed the last drop of their bl ood rather than sub mit to their disarmament. The Brandenburg Ministry is to be impeached—the KING is openly set at nought in consequence of his treachery and retrogression — :he national representatives have absorbed into their THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEM BER l4, 1048. own bosom the supreme authority, and the stake has ultimately become the crown of a perjured dynasty. Is FREDERICK Wm:lElms° besotted that he cannot recognise even at this eleventh hour the falseness of his position ? If he had one spark of the perceptive genius of the Great FREDERICK, he would perceive that he is being rendered the silly instrument of th • rigorous and now revengeful policy of CLEMENT, Prince MET TERNICH•WINNEBORG—that he is being impelled blindly forward to a precipice, which will result in his speedy destruction. Has he no inkling of a pro spective abdication ? Or will he drain to the very dregs the deadly bowl of retrogression ? Before long the consequence will be sufficiently manifest—the current of events causing the people and the troops to eddy with frightful rapidity to a collision. One con solation remains to Prussia in the midst of these ex traordinary dangers—the people are no longer the victims of a dazzling and perilous deception. The Diet is strong in its integrity, and the KING weak in the revelation of his egotism. Until Guildhall is restored to quiet after the fes tivities of Thursday evening, it must not be forgotten that on that occasion the annual ball will be held for the purpose of accumulating funds for the destitute refugees of Poland. Despite the ungenerous and almost incomprehensible opposition of some amongst our Contemporaries, we are satisfied that the proceeds of this charitable entertainment will be in some mea ; sure commensurate with the wants of the unfortunate exiles from Lithuania. In addition to the usual at tractions of the assembly, it will be observed that Sir JAMES DUKE, M.P., the newly-inagurated Lord Mayor, has promised to attend the ball on Thursday evening, accompanied by the Lady Mayoress and a distinguished party of the additional supporters of the Association. Among these we must also direct especial attention to the name of M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, the French Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, who has generously announced his in tention to countenance the charity by his attendance, together with that of his two attachés, one of whom is understood to be a nephew of M. DE LAMARTINE. Under such auspices it is impossible but that the de monstration in behalf of the banished patriots of Russian-Poland must prove eminently successful. The hopes of Lord DUDLEY STUART and his noble spirited colleagues will not be disappointed, and the volweary alms amassed by the committee of manage ment will assuredly be no longer grudged by any portion of the English press, when the necessitous condition of the recipients is calmly and dispas sionately taken into consideration. We have repeatedly directed the public attention to various defects in the administration of the criminal law. The want of a public prosecutor has long been deplored. In the absence of such a functionary; whose duty it would be to investigate all charges that might be submitted for his consideration, and to see that all fitting cases (and no others) were put in a proper train for investigation—there is not only a probability that the most heinous offenders may escape the consequences of their guilt, but also that innocent persons may be involved in serious inconvenience by being most unnecessarily and wantonly subjected to the expense and annoyance of a criminal prosecution at the mere caprice of some malevolent or vindictive assailant. The execution of the criminal law is, in fact, left in a great degree to chance. But while this is the case, we act as if it were impossible that any mistake could be committed. We seem to think that our criminal tribunals are absolutely infallible, that they cannot err either in law or in fact. The British law guards with the utmost jealousy anything relating to the property of British subjects, but it leaves their life and liberty comparatively unprotected. If a sum of money be demanded every precaution is taken to prevent the enforcement of an unjust claim ; the defendant must be personally served with a writ in forming him of the nature of the demand and the amount claimed;; four days are: allowed :in which he can settle the transaction, or tender whatever sum he may believe himself to be fairly responsible for. If be does not choose to avail himself of this opportu nity the declaration may be filed at the end of eight days. This document must be accompanied by a bill of particulars, giving the fullest particulars of the claim ; a certain time is allowed for pleading, which will always be extended, if anything should render such a course desirable. When the matter comes on for trial (which cannot be until due notice has been given to afford ample time for preparation), either side may, if dissatisfied with the result, more for a new trial, on various grounds ; for instance, that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, or that improper evidence had been ad mitted, or indeed for a variety of other causes too numerous to mention ; or the decision may be alto gether changed, as the verdict set aside and a nonsuit entered, and vice versa; and points may be carried from tribunal to tribunal until the case reaches the highest court of appeal, the House of Lords. Such are the guarantees afforded for the enjoyment of property, whether real or personal. How different is it, however, if the charge against a party should assume a criminal character. He ob tains no previous intimation as to the nature of the accusation. Bills of indictment are sent before the grand jury, but he is not permitted to be present, to rebut or toi explain the charge, neither will any witness on his behalf be examined. It is, therefore, unnecessary to set forth cases in which bills have been found on the most frivolous and insufficient grounds. The practice is notoriously of every-day occurrence, and is so frequent that it has ceased to excite astonishment or indignation. When the prisoner is first called up to plead—generally at the sitting of the Court, and during the absence of his professional adviser, a brief abstract of the indictment is mumbled over in a legal phraseology of which he is most probably wholly ignorant. He must, however, plead at once without a moment's time being allowed for considera tion, or even his being permitted to see a copy of the indictment on which he is charged, and which may be pregnant with such fearful results to himself. The trial may follow without a moment's delay, so that he may be called upon to rebut matters of which he knew nothing previously. These disadvantages are undoubtedly of a sufficiently formidable character, but as if to render them still more dangerous, no adequate remedy is given against any mistake either by Judge or jury. If his Lordship should wrongly interpret the law; if he should give a wrong direction to the jury, or admit improper evidence, the prisoner has no means of correcting the error. It is true, that if the Judge himself ehould entertain any doubt, he may remove the case, and bring it before the tribunal which has curiously enough been termed, " The Court of Criminal Ap peal." He may thus take the opinion of five of his brethren as to the propriety of his decision, but it is wholly optional with him whether he will do so or not; and the unfortunate prisoner, whose life may be at stake upon the result, has no mode by which he can have the question solemnly argued. The Judge is infallible if he chooses to assert that infallibility, and refuse to reserve the case, as it is termed. But, as far as the jury are concerned, the matter is still worse. Although the Judge should dissent from their verdict, it is final and conclusive—no ap peal can be taken, even with their own consent. Her MAJESTY may extend the royal pardon to the cri minal, but although the country may be satisfied thtt he was unjustly condemned, and his innocence may subsequently be made manifest, he must, to the end of his days, be regarded as a convicted criminal. Hi s guilt has been declared by a jury of his countrymen and the record is indelible—it cannot be altered or set aside under any circumstances whatever. --- The Secretary of State for the Home Department, whose duty it is to judge whether the circumstances of the me are such as to merit the exercise of the Royal prerogative in favour of the convict, is so occu pied with his other multifarious avocations that many months may elapse before the matter can be taken into his con,ideratioa, during which time so innocent party may be suffering most severe ard undeserved punii.hment. Take, for instance, the case of the man BARBER, who was convicted more than four and a half years ago (in April, 1844), at the Central Criminal Court, as being an accessory before the fact to forgery. Every person must be familiar with the circumstances of a case which at the time at tracted the utmost attention. It has since been re peatedly brought under the public notice, the prisoner himself having at all times most steadfastly asserted his innocence of the charge, and succeeded in con vincing many of the authorities with whom he was brought in contact and many others thereof. At length the Home Secretary decided on the matter, and the result has been a free pardon to the unfortunate sufferer, and the expression of Sir G. GREr's opinion, " that he now believes Mr. BARBER to have been free from any guilty participation in the frauds of which he was made the instrument." Can a stronger illustration be required of the evils of the present system, and the necessity that exists for the establishment of a real court of appeal, by which errors of fact as well as of law will be investigated and decided on, and to which a prisoner will have in every instance a clear right of appeal before the execution of any part of his sentence ? THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The fete of the Constitution bas passed off without the least attempt at interrupting the public tran quillity. The public offices were illuminated in the evening, and yesterday there were public concerts given in the gardens of the Tuileries, the Luxem bourg, and other public places, which attracted large crowds ; who, however, seemed to have come merely to enjoy themselves, and uttered no political cries. The Members of the National Assembly held a meeting on Sunday, at which they determined to support the candidature of General CAVAIGNAC for the Presidency. The provincial journalists, hereto fore supporters of BUGBAUD and CHANGARNIEB, have transferred their support to Louis NAPOLEON. The Reforme publishes the following from its cor respondent at Berlin, dated the 9th inst., relative to the Duchess of Orleans : " I can state to you in the most positive manner, for I have it from an authentic source, that the Duchess of Orleans has just addressed a letter to the King of Prussia. You are aware that she has been for the last six months stationed in the neighbourhood of Weimar with her young pretender. She has never, while there, ceased to intrigue in favour of her son, as well with Russia, (through the agency of the Duchess of Weimar, a Russian Princess,) as with the honnete bleu party of the French Republic and of Claremont. In the letter she has just sent to the King of Prussia, she says that the propitious moment for action will be that when Louis Napoleon is elected. Once more I repeat that I can guarantee the exactitude of this news, which, joined to the defeat of the people of Vienna, gives such courage to the Prussian Camarilla." This statement is corroborated by the fact that de tachments of Russian cavalry and infantry are moving on Prussian Poland, and that it is believed the Russian army has crossed to the left bank of the Vistula. Thus Russia is supporting Austria on the side of Hungary, in Wallachia, and Prussia on the side of Poland. To these intrigues the Metternich clique of the English aristocracy are no strangers. The recent visits of M. GUIZOT to all parts of England have not been without an object. The members of the Commission of Mercy went on Sunday to the various prisons and liberated 149 of the insurgents of June, in honour of the promul gation of the Constitution. The National Assembly met yesterday, and con tinued the discussion of the Budget. The Constitutionnel of yesterday declares in favour of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13. _ THREE o'CLocK.—The Bourse opened to-day with every appearance of firmness.

BUCHNER is advancing from the southern provinces, and NIGAU from Styria to aid WINDISCHGRATZ, while, on the other hand, the National Guard and Academic Le gion of Lemberg, 5,000 strong, with nine pieces of cannon, are advancing to join the Hungarians. The towns of Gratz, Brunn, Lemberg, and Inn;Truck have been declared in a state of siege. PRUSSIA. IMPEACHMENT OF THE MINISTERS BY THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY-REFUSAL OF SUPPLIES-REFUSAL OF THE BUR GHER GUARD TO BE DISARMED. Accounts from Berlin have been received up to nine o'clock on the day of the 11th, at which time the public tranquillity remained undisturbed. The National Assembly and the Burgher Guard and people had determined to oppose a passive resistance to the reactionary designs of the new Ministry, and not on any account to give them an excuse for letting loose the troops upon them. Hitherto the Assembly has acted with the greatest prudence and firmness ; by a continuance of that line of conduct they cannot fail eventually to triumph. After Count BRANDENBURG had quitted the Assembly on the 9th, the Assembly voted itself en permanence, and called in the Me Battalion of the Burgher Guard for its protection. The Commandant REMPLER ap plied to the Ministry to know whether it was their intention to employ force to prevent the continuance of the sittings of the Assembly at Berlin ? to which the answer was in the affirmative, accompanied by an intimation that if the Burgher Guard refused to obey the orders of the Ministry the military would be called in. The officers of the Burgher Guard then held a meeting, at which it was agreed to inform the Government that the Burgher Guard would protect the Chamber as well as the Government from all violence on the part of the people, but that, should the military enter and attempt to expel the members, the Burgher Guard would close round the building, and stand with ordered arms between the soldiers and the house, and should the military then advance, in defiance of the protest of the Burgher Guard and President, the former would then retire, and take no part in the proceeding. Shortly after this the Government addressed the following questions to the commander of the Burgher Guard 1. Is the Burgher Guard prepared to expel the National Assembly by force if so required? 2. What will be the conduct of the Burgher Guard in the event of military being em ployed ? 3, Is it true that the Burgher Guard have compelled the President and the members of the House to continue their deliberations?" To this the Burgher Guard staff replied 1. Two powers in the State are now opposed to each other—the Crown and the Legislative Chamber, neither of which powers are entitled to employ force against or to constrain the other ; and even inasmuch as the National Assembly is not authorised to require the Burgher Guard to act against the Crown, so is the Crown not entitled to require the Burgher Guard to act against the National Assembly. 2. The functionaries of the Chamber were detained by the President himself, who alone holds the right of enforcing discipline and obedience within the Chamber. 3. The Burgher Guard will only present passive opposition (to the troops). The rest must depend upon circumstances." In the meanwhile the Diet, under the protection of the Burgher Guard, continued its deliberations, and .at eight o'clock the following declaration to the Nation was agreed to by the majority : " The country is in danger. In despite of the almost unanimous opposition of the Assembly, the Brandenburg Ministry has been installed, and has commenced opera tions by a coup d'etat. The Assembly of National Re presentatives has been prorogued, to meet hereafter at another place. Fellow-citizens — The National Assem bly, assemblW to represent your sentiments, can neither be adjourned nor transferred elsewhere against its own consent. We are firmly resolved to oppose this act of force with all our energies and by every means in our power. Confide in us. Unite one and all in defence of the liberties we hare conquered, and bear in mind that resolute courage always triumphs over peril. " Berlin, Nov. 9, 1E48." - This declaration was published, and met by the following protest of the minority : " The protest of the constitutional-monarchical De puties, in regard to the transfer of the National As sembly decreed by the King : The undersigned De puties hold themselves bound to explain to the country and Assembly their motives for not attending the further sittings of the Chamber, either this day or hereafter, at Berlin. The law of the Bth April, which convoked the Chamber fur the purpose of framing a constitution, makes no mention of the place where the Assembly is to be held. The selection of this place is left to the will of the Crown. It exercised this right when it convoked the Assembly at Berlin, and it exer cises a similar right in removing it to Brandenburg. In our opinion, it not only possesses the right, but its duty is so to do, since the adoption of this measure is the only means of relieving ,us from the terrorism that is exercised against us, and of restoring that freedom of discussion which is essential to the dignity of the Assem bly. The prorogation of the Chamber is naturally and intimately connected with this step ; otherwise the Go vernment would tall into a palpable contradiction with itself, were it to permit any longer this abridgment of our liberty. In our opinion, the right of the Crown to issue the decree of this morning is indisputable, and we consequently hold the Assembly bound to submit. Should it not do so, we consider its proceedings to be illegal, and will take no share therein. If, notwith standing this, the Chamber should continue its delibe rations, we protest against their resolutions, and declare that we neither consider theca as binding upon us or upon the country. Sg n e r I b B y 4B ab .,, out sixty Members.) " Berlin, 9th November, At five o'clock on the following morning, the Na tional Assembly re - assembled, and the President, M. UNRUH, announced to the Members present (who amounted to 240) the following communication which he had received from the Minister : " You have communicated to the State Ministry to day that several resolutions had been passed by the National Assembly after its removal had been decreed. I hold it my duty to inform you that such resolutions are illegal, and to be considered null and void, and that the deputies who have passed them have made them selves guilty of a violation of supreme rights, and of the constitution. " I request you to communicate this order to those deputies who have thus committed a transgression of the law, and have disobeyed his Majesty the King, and beg you will consider that you and the deputies who have been guilty of an infringement of the rights of the Crown will be responsible fur the serious conse quences which may attend such an unlawful proceeding. "Count Von BRANDENBURG. " Berlin, Nov. 9. " To the President of the National Assembly." The President also announced to the Assembly the following communication, which had been ad dressed by the Chief of the Police to the Corn mandant of the Burgher Guard : " Berlin, Nov. 9. " Whereas a portion of the National Assembly has continued its deliberation, after that its prorogation had been decreed by his Majesty, and as they have thereby encroached upon the rights of the Crown, the Com mander of the Burgher Guard is requested to prevent any further deliberations of t he National Assembly. As the said members intend to meet again t? -morrow morning (this day, the 11th), the Commander of the Burgher Guard is called upon not to grant them admit tance into the House, but not to prevent those within the building from coming forth. A reply to this com munication is expected before six A.M. to-morrow morn ing. Should the reply contain a refusal to this demand, the President of Police will take such measures as may be deemed advisable. (Signed) " B A RD ELEBERN, President of Police." To this the Commandant of the Burgher Guard had returned the following reply The Commander of the Burgher Guard, in perfect accord with all the chiefs of battalions, begs to state that the duty of the Burgher Guard is to protect constitu tional freedom and legal order ; end although no con stitution has yet been framed, it is clear from the decree of the Bth of April that the National Assembly was ex pressly convoked at Berlin, the capital of the country. The Crown having deemed it advisable to issue a decree proroguing the Chamber, and removing it to Branden burg, and as it persists in this resolution, in opposition to the protest of the majority of the Chamber, the Bur gher Guard cannot act in opposition to that freedom which it is bound to defend, or comply with the demand made to it, without violating the resolutions of the majority, which it has res olved to mein tain If the Burgher Guard were not withheld by these considerations, it would be prevented from complying. with your desire by the 63th section of the Burgher Guard law, wherein it is expressly stated that the Burgher Guard is bound ,to turn out for duty upon the requisition of the representatives, of the municipal authorities. or of their delegates, functionaries belonging to the communal authorities.' The 128th see. further declares that the Burgher Guard can only be called upon to act in virtue of a resolution of the district authorities, and ara not bound to attend to the orders of individual members of these authorities, unless sanctioned by the Council; still less are they bound to obey the orders of individual police functionaries. This being the ease, the staff of the Burgher Guard regrets that, in thus placing itself upon strictly legal grouuds, it cannot comply with your demand, nor can it abstain from protesting against the employment of military force for the purpose of restricting the free deliberations of the Chamber, or for that of infringing the inviolabi lity of the people's representatives. (Signed) "1-11:NI1'LER, Commander of the Burgher Guard. "Berlin, Nov. 10, two A.M.' A copy of the above was at the same time en closed to the President accompanied by the following letter : "Berlin, Nov. 10, Three A.M. " Sir,—l have the honour to inclose to you copy of a reply of the Burgher Guard staff to a requisition of the President of Police, and respectfully request your con sideration of its contents. I have earnestly to request you, Sir, to summon all the members of the Chamber to return an answer thereto this morning before five o'clock, as this will be the easiest means of enabling the Burgher Guard to lend the requisi►"te protection to the Assembly, and thereby to avert a sanguinary collision. (Signed) " REMPLER. " To the President of the National Assembly." The President explained that on the receipt of these communications he had issued summonses, cAling the Assembly together at five o'clock in the MO 'N ~ fl, l IA L CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was steady, and prices were well supported. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, and comprised about 4,000 American at 2FI. to 6d.; 400 Pernams and Maratih.ims - , chiefly at 4kl. to 41d.; 100 Egyptian at 50. 64d.; 200 Surat at 2id. to 20.; and 120 Sea Island at 64d. to is. —For Railway Shares the market was dull, and prices were declining. The Niagara steamer brings later dates again from the United States. The rate of Exchange on Lon Con continued much the same. The imports being on the decline, it will probably yet go lower. The English creditors of Illinois will be glad to read the following.— " There is no State in the Union increasing so rapidly in wealth and resources as Illinois. Chicago is the principal shipping port of that State, and the growth of that city is a fair index of the growth of the State. The completion of the Illinois and Michigan Canal has given an impetus to the agricultural resources of the State which has long been required. Its financial affairs have wonderfully improved. Five years ago it was officially announced, in the Governor's Message, that there was not money enough in the State treasury to pay the postage on public documents in the Post office at the seat of Government, and they were obliged to remain there. Since that time, a new loan of 1,600,000 dollars has been made, the canal completed, a part of the interest on the entire debt of the State paid semi-annually, the whole of the interest on the new canal loan has been promptly paid, amd one hundred thousand dollars on account of the principal. Sales of canal land to the amount of 500,000 dollars have been made, the whole of which will, at the expi ration of the year, be paid and applied to the liquida tion of the new canal debt. This will reduce it to less than one million of dollars. The revenue from the canal this year will be more than 100,000 dollars, which, with the portion of the one-and-a-halt million tax, now appropriated to the payment of interest, will go towards the payment of the interest on the whole canal debt. Three-fifths of the one-and-a-half million tax, are now appropriated to the payment of interest on the entire funded debt of the State. This pays one-fifth of the whole interest, or twelve of the sixty dollars annually accruing. The new constitution of Illinois, adopted by the people last March, authorises the levy of a tax of two millions on the taxable property of the State, for the payment of the interest on the internal improvement debt. It has not yet been ascertained what the actual amount of this internal improvement debt of the State is, but it is sufficient for those interested to know that the two million tax, and the three-fifths of the one-and-a half million tax already levied and paid, will give a revenue large enough to pay the full interest on that portion of the State's indebtedness." The statement of the revenue of Canada for the year, ending July 5, is rather better than might have been expected, seeing the general commercial dulness that has prevailed in Europe. A portion of the official table may be quoted as conveying an idea of the resources of British North America : _ • • V..... A.. Va. Ir.. •••••• • Year ended Year ended July 5, 1847. July 5, 1845.

Indeed that quarter contrasts very un favourably with the like period of 1847. We may hope that our Canadian possessions will not find their re sources even temporarily impaired by the fiscal changes rendered necessary here. In September the Welland Canal exhibited signs of commercial activity,33o vessels having passed through, of which a large number were bound to American ports, showing the extensive development which free trade might yet give to the internal commerce of Canada and the lake traffic. The settlement of the Consol Account has been in progress to-day, and bears out the impression that the speculators for a fall are the losing parties, although by dint of borrowing stock, carrying over, and other contrivances, well understood in the market, they have kept prices from rising much upon them. Consols have been 86* to 864, and are now 86* 864. The in telligence from Berlin has served to keep the market steady, and there is no " continuation" be tween this and the next account day, De cember the 12th. The " Bears" look now for excitement and uncertainty in France upon the question of the Presidential Election, but they may yet he disappointed, although in such cases events are always occurring to agitate the public mind. Money being abundant and trade insufficient to absorb it, we have no doubt that there will be a strong inclination to purchase stock should political events look at all favourable, but much will depend upon the policy of the Austrian and Prussian Governments which seems now to tend decidedly and dangerously towards reaction.

AUSTRIA, BOHEMIA, AND HUNGARY. The accounts from Vienna are to the Bth instant. The rumour to which we alluded yesterday of the appointment of WZLDEI as Governor of the city is confirmed. This WELDEN is the same man who, about three months since, superintended the burnings and massacres in Lombardy, and who, in the Roman States, wantonly destroyed a whole village. The leaders of the insurrection have all of them escaped. The Generals BEM and PoLsKy are at Pesth, where they have joined the Hungarian forces. BLUR[ and FaOBEL, the Frankfort Deputies, are kept as prisoners at Schonnbrunn. Unable to secure the leaders, Wiliniscilusikrz has caused several of the urderings to be hanged. Among them are KREISSLER ULLMAYER, the celebrated placard writer; and KAI SER, the poet. BRAUN, a captain in the National Guards, has been shot. The Wiener Zeitung of the Bth contains the reply of his Majesty the EMPEROR to the loyal address of the deputation of the Tyrol Diet, in which the EMPEROR makes the reiterated assurance that all the privileges guaranteed by him shall be faithfully ad hered to. It likewise contains a proclamation of the Communal Council of Klagenfurth to the inha bitants of Carinthia, exhorting them to steady per severance in the maintenance of peace, as the only guarantee for the security of their lilaerties, the preservation of their commerce, and the safety of their country. The Communal Council of Vienna has issued a proclamation to the effect that, during the present distress into which the inhabitants of the city have been plunged, it is the earnest desire of the Council to give assistance to poor persons, of both sexes, by providing them with work, for which each man is to be paid 15 kreutzers per diem, and every mother of a family the sum of 15 kreutzers per diem. Single persons are to receive 10 kreutzers per diem. This sum of 15 kreutzers will be granted if the Committee are unable to provide full work. The Communal Council has likewise issued a pro clamation stating that free intercourse between the city and the suburbs is restricted from five o'clock in the morning till seven o'clock in the evening, and that, consequently, all business may be carried on without interruption. The EMPEROR is about to quit 011mutz for Prague, where he will take up his residence. Apartments in the Hardachin are being prepared for the reception of the Imperial Family. It would appear, indeed, that even were the Estraitost desirous of returning to Vienna, the Palace is not in a fit state to afford him accommodation in consequence of the damage it sus tained during the recent siege. There are marks of no less than eighty cannon-balls on the fa jade of the Ell,Elnittanogßn'cisfiaPetehanol magnificent The damage done to the other parts of the city b y t h e b om b ar d ment i s i mmense . sn in ally wh h ic e l l a d tltiheeirDesmitotienrgast: hasarl been burnt to the ground ; the g faubou-t of the Jazerzeil, the most beautiful in Vienna, can no longer be recognised.

Prince WINDISCHGRATZ iS now using his utmost endeavours to hasten the march, of troops from Vienna to Hungary. He will take the field against morning. The following address from the Operatives' Union of Berlin was likewise presented to the Assembly:— " Representatives of the People !—The workmen of Berlin thank you for the manner in which you have faithfully done your duty, in which you have rejected the pretensions of the faithless councillors of the Crown. The liberties gained by the blood of the people will be worthily defended by you. The workmen of Berlin are prepared and ready to obey your call, should any at tempt be made to trench upon the rights of the people, through the persons of their representatives. [How came the workmen mot to declare this when the working classes were furnished with cords to hang their deputies on the 31st?] They offer you their bodies and their hearts' blood against all enemies who may attempt acts of high treason against you or the liberties of the people." The President then addressed the Assembly in a speech of great moderation, in which he recommended them to maintain a dignified state of passive resist ance —" Every drop of blood shed through our fault," said he, " must injure, but cannot benefit our cause." He added, that he would exert every effort to inspire the Burgher Guard and people with similar senti ments, and to desire that the Burgher Guard placed round the building should, in case of aggression, limit their defence of the house to passive resistance, and avoid every act that might lead to conflict. " The blood of our citizens," continued M. Uriauff, " must not be squandered. It must be reserved for other oc casions." A proposition was then made, that all Members not prevented by sickness should be sum moned to attend in their places, and publicly declared defaulters should they refuse to appear. After a short discussion this proposition was carried nearly unani mously. The Assembly continued sitting en permanence, and at two o'clock the President of the Police issued a proclamation declaring, that in consequence of the state of passive resistance assumed by the Burgher Guard and the Assembly, a reinforcement of troops would enter the town. Accordingly, at two o'clock, the troops commenced entering the town, and at four o'clock General WitaxGor., accompanied by his staff, approached the hall of the Assembly. He sent his chief of the staff to wait upon M. UNRUH (the Presi dent), to communicate to him and the Deputies sit ting en permanence, that his orders were to close the Flail of Assembly, and to cause it to be evacuated. The Deputies answered that they would reply after deliberating upon this communication. At the end of half an hour a message came from the house, say ing they could only yield to positive force. To this, WRANGEL replied that he would not lay his hands upon them, but that he would blockade the building for eight days, if necessary, and permit no communi cations. In the course of another half-hour, the ma jority of the Deputies, having drawn up a protest and proclamation to the ,nation, quitted the Assembly, and the troops drew back to allow them to pass . The Deputies had, however, only adjourned to th e next day. On the 11 th they met at the Schutzen House, and resumed their adjourned sittings. The following motions were proposed, declared urgent, discussed, and forthwith carried. The first of these was to the effect that a commission of sixteen should be appointed to draw up a full explanation of all that occurred, in the form of a report, and that this report should be published for the information of the whole nation; the second was the nomination of a commis sion of eight, to consider and report upon the ex pediency of impeaching the Ministers as traitors to the country; and, in the event of the Crown persisting in its resolution, of also considering the expediency of refusing supplies. Both these motions were passed unanimously.. In consequence also of a report having reached the President, that a decree of the Crown, addressed to the Commander of the Burgher Guard, demanding the immediate disarming of the Burgher Guard, was about to appear in the official paper, a motion was made and also carried, declaring that those who ad vised these measures were traitors to the country ; that the Burgher Guard should be forbidden, on pain of being themselves declared traitors, to surrender their arms, and that they should be ordered and directed to defend themselves to the last drop against all attempts to disarm them—a defence to be sanc tion by a vote and decree of the Assembly. _ _ These resolutions will bring matters to a crisis. The city was quiet on the 11th, but the next post from Berlin will probably bring intelligence of the commencement of a civil war. AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY NIGHT. The British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain Ryrie, has just arrived. She left Boston on the Ist, and Halifax on the 3d inst., with mails from the United States and Canada. Her intelligence is seven days later than that brought by the Britannia, and which was published in our yesterday's impression. She brings 90 pas sengers, but no specie. The Hibernia, which left this port on the following Saturday (21st ult.) for Halifax and Boston, arrived at Halifax on the Ist November. The United States had arrived on the 26th ult., and the Sarah Sands on the 28th, after a passage of seventeen and a half days. By this arrival we have ad vices from Boston and New York, of the Ist; Baltimore and Philadelphia, of the 31st ult.; Charleston and New Orleans, of the 30th ; Montreal and Quebec, of the 29th ult. , and Halifiax, of the 3d instant. The condition of business affairs in New York was not quite so favourable as at the last account. Money was decidedly more difficult to obtain. Ex change on London stood at 108 k to 1081 ; on Paris, 5 '25, with a poor inquiry ; on Hamburgb, 35i to 35i; on Bremen, 78 to 781. The depression in the Grain Market continued, and a further decline had taken place. Quotations are as follows :—Genesee prime wheat, 124 to 126 ; Indian flat yellow corn at 69 ; Southern white Indian corn, 64 to 66 ; Indian meal per barrel, 3 dolls. 25c. to 3 dolls. 37ie. A further fall in the price of cotton had taken place at New York. The market was still in the depressed condition before reported, and very few transactions had taken place. Prices : New Orleans and Mobile cotton, middling fair, 61 to 6s; Uplands middling fair to fair, 6i to 61, showing a fall of cent. Freights remained unchanged at the steamer's de parture, the asking rates being 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. Freights of grain, TO. to Bd. Cotton, kc. to 3-16 c., F.C.L.S. bales, kc. to ic., F.C.H. From Mexico the news is still unfavourable. The Government, however, continues to defeat the revolu tionists. In Tampico they have pronounced in favour of annexation to America. LAUNCII OF A STEAM SElP. — Yesterday an iron steamer of about 600 tons burden, built for the Emperor of Russia, and destined by his Imperial Majesty to pro mote and protect the commerce of the Black Sea, was launched from the yard of those eminent engineers Messrs. Robinson and Russell, at Mil!wall. The Ta man, which is the name given to the vessel, is 175 feet long, 26 feet in the beam, and 14 feet 7 inches depth of hold. The hull is constructed on lines laid down by Mr. Ditchburn, and for strength of construction, smoothness of finish, and perfect ex k cadon, seems well calculated to a:airy:sin the superior cliaraqter of Thatnes-built vessels. As the flood-tide arrived at its height the dog-shores were knocked away, and her name haring been pro nounced, while a bottle of wine was sacrificed at ber bows, she glided smoothly into her future element, amid the cheers of a numerous body of gentlemen —many of them connected with the Rusian and other embassies— who were assembled to do honour to the occasion. The vessel was immediately towed to Greenwich, where she will be fitted with a pair of 90 .horse power engines, by the Messrs. Penn. Lieutenant Munro, late of the Blues, who suffered twelve month:' imprisonment for the fatal duel with Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, of the 55th Regiment, is to be appointed riding master of the 7th Hussars.
