Everything odious is said of the destruction of LA TOUR, nothing whatever is said condemnatory of the wholesale butchery of the Viennese. Is one man's life tl en to outweigh in importance the lives of thousands, merely because those thousands were simply :the people, and because that unit was an aristocrat, the holder of a ministerial portfolio, and the accomplice of an Emperor ? These superstitions must really be dissipated; they have survived the annihilation of feu dality too long. Men must begin to comprehend in some rational measure the equal inviolability of life, whether with the most august dignitary or the most lowly artisan. We are reminded again and again by the apologists of absolutism of the excesses perpe trated by the multitude in some moment of extraor dinary excitement; we read recitals couched in the tno,t violent terms of abhorrence of the shooting of a Count, no matter though that Count was the most heinous of conspirators; of the sacking of an arsenal, no matter though that arsenal was stocked with arms and ammunition to be em ployed against the population ; or of the burning of a solitary barrack, no matter though the walls of that barrack sheltered the jannisaries of despotism while tearing up the ranks of the people with a withering discharge of musketrythese And yet when are quious panegyrist s o f ar bit rary government re cording the atrociti es p er p e t rate d i n th e name of some some exalted potent a t e , th e y fi n d languageis preternatural sufficiently o eulogistic for the designation of h atrocities. They exult over the desol a ti on of a over the massacre of a population, over the cnfla tion of a city, over the rapine and murder, and cruelty gr. a and unbridled licentiousness wh i ch are the invariable accompaniments of the successful bombardment of a capital. Rape, and murder, and pillage, are exalted into deeds of virtue and patriotism, so they be only practised by the soldiery in fighting the victories of some unprincipled ruler. It is with this perversion of sentiment that the late occurrences at Vienna have been commemorated by our Tory contemporaries. According to them Prince WINDISCHGRATE has covered his name with everlasting glory for having beaten down the walls of the chief city of his native land, and for having delivered over its inhabitants to the fury and lust of his troopers. The representatives elected by the millions of the Austrian empire, and sitting in solemn conclave in its metropolis, are re viled as though they wero the basest miscreants and the most besotted barbarians in Christendom— although the Members of the Diet, without any other authority saving that derived from their own moral dignity and collective reputation, have been enabled, during a period of more than three weeks, to preserve order and sobriety in a capital just emerged from the chaos of a revolution! happily the Argus-vigilance of the million is not to be cheated by the flickering deceits of a rlae teric debased to such un worthy purposes by the eulogists of FERDINAND. The ghastly truth glares through a ll these gaudy and transparent schemes of misrepresentation. The brutality of the system defended by the guns of Prince WINDISCII GRATZ is as apparent as that which was formerly championed by the Captains of the Duke of VALEN TINO.' Men can no more be induced to regard FER DINAND as a paternal Monarch than to look upon the diabolical AARON in Titus Andronicus as a parago❑ of perfection. While these paeans of joy are being chaunted by a few of the journalists of London, their sophistical praises are belied by the noise of the artil lery battering down the suburbs of Vienna, the re verberations of which have scarcely yet died away. Regarding the calamities which have recently be fallen the Viennese in this particular light, we should only have cause to sing the dirge of Austrian liberty, but that we look upon the triumph of the Imperial party as of the most temporary nature imaginable. No Administration could possibly be of a more fugitive character than the one just appointed by the EMPEROR, with WESSEMBERG as President without porVolio, with SCHWARTZENBERG as Minister of Foreign ciffa.irs, BACII of the Home Department, BucarsEst of War, HELCORT of Public Instruction, and Boucs. of Commerce. Another shake of the political kaleidoscope and another combination will have replaced these ephenteriche of statesmanship. On reviewing the movements which preceded the capitulation of the Viennese, it will he observed with some astonishment by those who had formed high expectations of the assistance to be derived from the Hungarians, that the Magyars were otherwise occu pied than in fighting for the protection of the Austrian capital. A lamentable dispute appears to have arisen between .Mova. and KOSSUTH—a dispute which led in the first place to the discomfiture of their forces at Schwechut, and subsequently to the experience of some still more severe reverses 'in the course of their retrograde movement. For this reason it will be observed that an extraordi nary obstacle was removed from between the be sieged army and the forces of WrzsrascßGßATz The principal bulwark of the National Guard and the Academic Legion was unexpectedly destroyed, and the Viennese were compelled at the most critical moment to depend solely upon their own isolated resources. The consequence of all this was inevit able. Vienna fell—Kossurzt was driven back in confusion—the city was declared in a state of siege-- all communication between its walls and the sur rounding suburbs was prohibited —MESSENHAUSER was taken into custody—the Diet was sum marily adjourned and dispersed SCHWARTZ EN BERG locked the doors of the National Parliament in imitation of CRoMwELL—and martial law became the only visible form of government. The sudden ness with which these changes have been effected is a guarantee for their evanescence. To render them in any degree permanent it would be requisite to main tain in force the stringent rules essential for the con tinuance of the state of siege. The troops would have to be perpetually quartered in the city. Vienna would become one vast barrack, and the sceptre would be permanently replaced by the sword. That such measures are altogether impracticable is beyond denial, and, being impracticable, the ultimate do wn fal of the blood-stained despotism of Austria is an inevitable necessity. The improvement in the prices of railway stock that took place in the latter end of last month has since been fully maintained, notwithstanding the strenuous and determined efforts of the " Bears" to the contrary. The panic has cea'ed, and nothing that they can say or do will induce any considerable number of persons again to sacrifice their property at ridiculously inadequate prices. In that respect " their occupation 's gone." They, however, have contrived to keep the quotations lower than they otherwise would have been. On Saturday there was a temporary depreciation, but the notices thereof were accompanied with the significant announcement that " the sales were merely speculative." Indeed, we believe, at this moment that a bona fide purchaser would find great difficulty in obtaining an immediate transfer of any considerable number of shares in any of the dividend-paying lines. The fact is, that the shareholders are not inclined to sell, even at present prices, which are still far below the real value, al though, on an average, 20 per cent. higher than they had been little more than a fortnight since. They are perfectly right in following this course, and steadily retaining the stock in their own pos session. Even at present prices seven or eight per cent. may be obtained on the amount invested in the purchase of shares in some of the oldest and most secure undertakings; and that at a time when money is said to be "a drug in the City,'' when the Bank of England has been compelled to lower its rate of discount in order to compete with the private banks and large discount houses, which were every day advancing money on approved se curities at a cheaper rate than it could be obtained at the national establishment—and when every circum stance by which an abundant supply of monetary accommodation at a fair and moderate interest is indicated —is distinctly perceptible. There is an ample supply of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England and of the private and joint stock banks throughout the kingdom. The preserve of notes in the banking department is more than double the amount necessary for carrying on the or dinary business of the Bank. There are no lowering clouds in the political horizon. The aspects are in every respect highly favourable, and we may reason ably and fairly look for a propitious and prosperous season, after the long and dreary period of distress and suffering from which we are emerging. Bene ficial investments must be found for the capital which has been lying idle and unproductive, in order that the parties possessed thereof might be prepared for any possible emergency, and railway stock will again be looked after, now that the mists of prejudice and ignorance with which it was surrounded are be ginning to be swept away, and the vague and un founded apprehensions respecting it removed by the clear and satisfactory statements that have been al ready published, and the accounts that have been promised by many boards of directors, and which are now in course of preparation. Indeed, as the depre ciation was greater in respect to railways than of any other description of property, it is probable that the reaction will be most conspicuous therein. In addition to the causes to which we have above alluded, there are others which, although ap parently of less magnitude, will still exercise no or dinary influence in these matters. The machinations of the " Bears" are beginning to he understood, and shareholders perceive the folly of which they have been guilty in suffering themselves to be deluded by their mortal enemies. Precautions, too, are begin ing ,to be taken in various quarters that will mate rially restrict their power. The mischievous publi cations of the " Weekly Share List" have been prohibited. The Liverpool Stock Exchange has adopted a highly creditable resolution, mate rially restricting the period allowed for the actual transfer of shares, and thus striking a heavy blow on the system of "time bargains," which has occasioned so much mischief. If the example thus afforded be generally followed, a most important amelioration will be effected, for which the thanks of the commu nity, and more especially of the portion thereof irate- j rested in railway property, will be due to the com mittee and brokers of the Stock Exchange, Liverpool. We have received many letters in reference to the attacks upon the " bearing system," that have from n e time to time appeared i n our columns. One gentle man,who show that who signs the "Bulls" himself AC ' are st fullyt Rd a as mucher, at tempts to Constant an to blame as the " Bears" for the losses that have been sustained, an d th at t h e former class deserves censure een as fully as the l a tt er . O ur correspondent must have strangely misund ers t oo d our comments, if he sup poses that we desired t o j ust if y e i ther. We objected to all speculative dealing, as injurious highest degree. Call it by whatever name n the you please, it is gambling, and th at of the very w orst description. If there wer e no " Bulls " the " Bears " would speedily be compelled to withdraw from the purlieus of Capel-court. Of the two parties perhaps the " Bulls" are the least mischievous' Their aspirations are of a more amiable character than those of their ursine opponents. Their efforts are directed rather to the improvement than to the deterioration of the property of others. But still, as we have already stated, they occasion real evil, be cause, by purchasing shares which they have neither the intention or the power of taking up, they are compelled to become " sellers" in turn, and thus, perhaps, to add to a panic when it is excited. An upward tendency is frequently checked by the " Bulls" coining in to realise their profits, and thus practically becoming "Bears" in turn. Both classes are mischievous, and the " gore " 11,IL ,uhlic THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, ig4a of the former is to be deprecated as much as the "hug" of the latter. The remedies which we have suggested, viz., the total abolition of time bargains, and the prohibition, under heavy penalties, of any contract respecting shares which the party has not in his actual possession at the time of the sale, will equally affect both. Shareholders should avoid both extremes with equal caution, and guard alike against the undue expansion of prices—the over-speculation which, in 1845, led to such injurious results—and against the unwarranted depreciation which has oc casioned as much mischief in the present year. TilE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. At the sitting of the National Assembly on Tues day, M. BENOIT put some questions to the Minister of Fereign Affairs on the subject of the foreign rela tions of France with Germany and Italy, in reply to which the following very satisfactory statement was made by M. BASTIDE. He said that he would appeal to the Assembly for its judgment on a simple state ment of facts. In August last, when the Austrian army was approaching the frontiers of Piedmont, the French Government offered its mediation, in conjunc' tion with that of England, on conditions conformable with the principles of moderation professed by the Republic. The negotiations were commenced on the basis approved of by the Assembly itself when sub mitted to it by the Government. Before negotiations could be entered upon it became necessary to fix a place of meeting the most convenient for all parties interested. The difficulties in the way of finding such a place caused consider able delay, and, the :month of October arriving, the insurrection broke out at Vienna, and had the effect of causing a sudden and complete suspension of the negotiations. Now, however, that they had intelli gence that the insurrection had been brought to a termination, he entertained strong hopes that the negotiations would be resumed and brought to a conclusion on those principles from which the Re public would never depart. He rejoiced to be able to say that the principles of moderate democracy were gaining ground, such as France would willingly support, for they were in accordance with the inte rest of all. Prussia had, for example, listened to the recommendation of France, and had made conces sions in the way of liberty and independence. Nor had their advice failed of effect in the Schleswig- Holstein dispute. - With !regard also to Sicily, the French Government, following the dictates of huma nity, had acted in a way to arrest the horrors of civil war, and to see that country restored to the great family of Italian States. He trusted that the result of their mediation would prove satisfactory. As to Germany, the Government would continue to act on those principles of democratic fraternity which had, up to the present period, guided its conduct. The most delicate question at present was certainly that of the insurrection at Vienna; but he hoped the good sense of the people would lead them to the discovery that democratic principles would be advanced without recourse being had to armed violence. Now, more than ever, did he hope that the negotiations that had been opened for the settlement of the affairs of Italy, would be speedily concluded in a satisfactory manner. The general desire for peace was gaining ground, and warranted him in antici pating, with great confidence, a happy result to their negotiations. They would soon be sufficiently ad- vanced for publicity, and to be seen in open day ; and then it would be known to all on what principles the Government had acted. For his own part, he would await with confidence the judgment of the Assembly. During the course of the sitting the motion for the adjournment of the Assembly for three weeks, of which M. MARCUAL had given notice, was discussed, and the proposition was rejected by a majority of 407 to 214. In the course of the debate General CA NAIGNAC said, that if the Assembly really desired to have leave of absence, they need not be deterred by anything in the aspect of public affairs, for the Go vernment would answer for the preservation of order. lie also added that this was a matter on which the Government wished to remain neutral, as it had no notion of interfering, ono way or the other, with the feelings of the Assembly on the subject of adjourn ment. Notwithstanding the motion for adjournment was rejected, it is probable than an adjournment will virtually take place, inasmuch as the applications for leave of absence are so numerous that after next week there will be great difficulty in " making a House." The Assembly, in voting the budget, proceeds on the most economical principles. Reductions to a large amount have been made in the salaries of the judicial corps. The First President of the Court of Cessation of Paris is henceforth to have a salary of only 20,000 f. a year. All the other Judges are pro portionably less. In the Court of Appeal of Paris the Presidents are to have salaries of only 10,000 f., and the Puisne Judges of B,ooof. The Moniteur of yesterday has the following : The Presse has stated, with its habitual temerity, that General CAVAIGNAC, before calling to the Minis try Messrs. DUFAURE and VIVIEN, had offered the portfolios to Messrs. LEDRU ROLLIN and FLocoN. We are authorised to give the most positive contra diction to this assertion." The Siecle has announced its intention of giving its support to General CAVAIGNAC, as candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. The cholera has broken out at Dunkirk, and the Government have dispatched M. MAJENDIII, the Pre sident of the Board of Health, to that town, to exa mine and report on the nature of the disease. 1 . At the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday General LAMORICIERE, on presenting a decree for levying the annual quota of 80,000 men, announced that the state of the foreign relations of the Republic was such as to allow the Government to make a con siderable reduction in the army. Marshal BUG EAUD and General CIiANG ARNIE& have both positively refused to allow their names to be set up as candidates for the Presidency. ADD-EL K ADEM with a part of his family left Pau on Thursday last for his new residence near Nantes. After going through his usual morning ablutions and prayers, the ex-Emir descended into the court-yard of his residence, where he personally superintended the arrangements made for his conveyance, and placed his wives and his mother in their respective carriages. He afterwards re• entered the house, where he took leave of several persons who had come to see him previous to his departure. His parting with M. ZiaaGossa, who had lately held the military com mand of the Chateau, was most affectionate. He then entered an open carriage with his two sons, the eldest only ten years of age, and in order to testify his feelings for the reception which had been given him by the inhabitants of Pau, he requested M. SICABAIG, the Deputy Mayor and the Commandant of the National Guard to take a seat in the carriage and accompany him through the town. All the streets through which he had to pass were filled with people, whom he saluted as he passed, the ladies at the windows waving their handkerchiefs in return. The carriage was escorted by a party of Gendarmes, and followed by several persons on horseback. On reaching the extremity of the town AIID-EL-KADER alighted, and, addressing the Mayor, said, "I quit Pau personally, but I leave my heart there. The marks of sympathy which I have just received tend to rende r my departure still more painful. But it is a consola tion for me to think that I leave behind me so many friends." The Mayor made a suitable reply, and after the ex-Emir had embraced the Mayor and the other authorities present, he again entered his carriage and proceeded on his journey. ADD-EL-KAMM was to sleep at Bordeaux, from whence he would embark on board a steamer for Nantes. The Moniteur du Soir says : " We have before us a family paper which is not with out interest. It is a circular distributed in the depart ments by M. Napoleon Bonaparte, son of the ex-King of Westphalia, in favour of the clndidateship of his cousin Louis. M. Napoleon Bonaparte states that ' some 1 friends (and relations) have met to support the caa didateship of his cousin.' He then invites his corre spondents to indicate the points where it was necessary to enlighten public opinion ; to concert with the persons who are able to give assistance, and to form com mittees in a ll th e l oca li t i es, an d to sta t e th e number of circulars or vote-papers to be sent for distribution among the electors." BOURSE, PARTS, WEDNESDAY, Nov. 8. TIIREE O'CLOCK. —The Bourse opened to-day very heavily, and there was every appearance of a continu ance of the fall, but all of a sudden everything took a sudden start. The Five per Cor.ts., from 62f. 40c., rose at one jump to 64f., and afterwards got nearly 0, franc higher. The Three per Cents. rose from 39f. 25c. to 42f., and the Bank Shares from 1,2101. to 1,380 f. The affair was so sudden that it took everybody by surprise. The rumour is that the Government, fearing that the Five per Cents. would fall below 61f. 50c., determined upon supporting the market, as many of the shareholders i❑ the Loan would refuse to pay up, and the Govern ment would be forced to contract a new loan on ruinous terms. At all events the impulse, once given, was kept up, and the Funds closed pretty firmly, at nearly 2 per cent. above yesterday's closing prices. The business done was not extensive. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have mounted 2f.; the Five per Cents. If. 15c.; and the Loan 80c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have risen if. 80c.; the Fire per Cents. if. 5c.; and the Loan 80c.; Bons du Tresor not quoted: Bank of France Shares have risen 145 f.; Belgian Bank Shares not quoted; Five per Cents. are the same as yesterday; Spanish Funds not quoted: Roman has fallen per cent.; Rothschild's Receipts are quoted at 77f. 50c.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Intelligence has been received from Vienna to the 3d inst. On that day the imperial troops were in quiet possession of the ill-fated city. The students had disappeared, Besa had escaped, and the disarma ment of the National Guards aid the workmen was nearly completed. Prince WINDISCHGRATZ issued the following pro clamation on the 2d : " PROCLAMATION. "By 'entering Vienna • with the troops under my orders, in conformity with my proclamation of the 23d October, I am to announce what measures I regard indis pensable for the re-establishment of the legal state of things, terribly disturbed. The town had, in fact, sur rendered on the 30th October; it has, however, by the most shameful act of treachery, violated the terms then agreed upon, for which reason, without regard to the terms of capitulation , I decree as follows: " 1. The city of Vienna, its faubourgs, and its en virons, within a radius of two miles, arc declared in a state of siege. As long as that lasts, the local authori ties are placed under the military command, according to paragraph 9. " ' 2. The Academical Legion and National Guard are disolved; the latter with a reserve to its reorgan- isation. 3. If the general disarming is not terminated, the Communal Council has to see it done within forty-eight hours after the pubiicatton of this proclamation. A last summons to give up arms shall be issued, and twelve hours after it is placarded, domiciliary visits will be made, and any persons found with arms will be treated according to martial law. Exceptions to this disarm ing are—the guard of safety, the military palace guard, the guard of the finances, who are allowed to bear arms and perform service as usual. " 4. All political associations are closed ; assem blages of more than ten persons, in the streets or squares, interdicted. The cabs and taverns are to be closed every night at eleven in the city, at ten in the faubourgs. All contraventions will be punished by martial juris diction, " • The press is limited according to art. 4 of the pro clamation of the 23d October (the only paper allowed by that article is the Wisner Zeitung). No placards or such like are to be posted up without the sanction of the military authorities. " ' 6. All strangers who cannot satisfactorily account for their reasons of sojourn at Vienna are to quit : the same is applicable to Austrians similarly situated. The hotel-keepers and lodgivig-keepers are ordered to furnish the names of their lodgers, under penalty of punishment. " 7. All persons convicted of having attempted to tamper with the Imperial troops, who should excite to revolt, or be induced to such; whoever should not retire from an assemblage at the first summons of the police, or any persons taken with arms at a meeting will be tried by martial law. " 'B. All the barricades in the town and faubourgs are to be removed by the communal council, and the pave ment re-laid. " • 9. During the state of siege, the public authorities are in no manner to be disturbed in the exercise of their functions ; but, as the military authorities are provi sionally intrusted with the maintenance of order and tranquillity in the capital and the environs, the com munal council and other authorities who have hitherto undertaken those duties must first consult the military authorities.' _ _ " Prineo of WINDISCHGRATZ, Field-Marshal. " Head -quarters of Flitv•ndort, Nov. 1. 1848." Mussnmuusza, the Commander of the Vienna National Guards having been accused of ordering the violation of the truce and the renewal of tile combat with the Imperial troops after the capitulation had been agreed on, has published the following official denial : " The undersigned, _" NOTICE. National Guard, herebyhe, solemnly protests against the upon h the 31st of October, sanctioned the Imperial troops, the attack renewed by some of the moveable corps upon th e calla upon the Town Council om daybreak in disarming to prove that he, the e contrary, amls ; and w as that, occupiedat the of riskr c f haisnneownntloiftehe ba life, he succeeded in conveying several pieces of for the restoration o st!unsy and exerted all his energies i o o n s t of h;energetically.s having protests hereby against the imputa tion way encouraged or ordered a breach of the c u " Vienna, ( O S c i t g o n b e e d r ) 3l 4., This protest tallies with two previous proclama tions of BlEssaxuAusEa of the 29th and 30th, in which he declares that want of ammunition, over whelming force, the imperative duty of preventing a bombardment and storm, and the defeat of the Hungarians, render it necessary for him to recom mend submission. The damage done to the city is trifling, but the faubourgs have been nearly destroyed. Many houses have been pillaged, and although WiNniscu- GRATZ has hanged several of the soldiers taken in the act of pillaging, he has found it impossible to restrain the plundering propensities of the Croats. A letter from Breslau, of the 2d, addressed to the Cologne Gazette, says— " We received positive news from Vienna yesterday, by the mid-day railway train of Upper Silesia. The capital was entirely occupied by the Imperial troops on the Ist, about eleven o'clock. On the 31st there w as no fi g hti ng un til about twelve o'clock, and at three the cannonade became terrible, especially in the fau bourgs Alariabilf and Schottenfeld. It ceased when it became known that the line was taken. The Na tional Guards then hastened to the bastions to defend them. At about six o'clock flames burst forth from the Imperial Palace; the cause was not known, as the con flagration was not caus ed by a shell. The mansion of Prince Kollonrath and the church of the capuchins were destroyed by shells. Nine companies of the National Guard laboured to extinguish the fire at the Palace. At about one o'clock in the morning the Burgthor (the finest barrier of Vienna) was destroyed by cannon, and th e troops entered the city without any sharp combat. Th e Croats were at Graben. As nothing was known in the Leopoldatsdt of this occupation of the city, the re sumption of the combat was expected in the Wiedin. But between ten and eleven o'clock the troops entered in great numbers without meeting with any resistance. It is said that General Bem is a prisoner. All the houses from which firing took place have been captured and pillaged by the imperial troops. After the capture of the Faubourg, the National Guards of the interior town fought between themselves, soma desiring to yield, others continuing the resistance." The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 6th states that the city of Vienna is most rigorously guarded. Moses, President of the Academic Legion, and an adjutant of MESSEICHAVSER, had been taken into custody. The engagement of the artillery of the Hungarians on the 30th ult., appears to have occasioned greater losses on both aides than was at first reported. General MO A, in consequence of a quarrel with KOSSUTH, refused to command the Hungarian troops. Kossurn himself was present with the Hungarian army, and, it is asserted, led on the left wing. The Hungarians, as it appears, avoided an actual engage ment, and kept a sharp look-out on the few remaining regular troops, of whose desertion they were appre hensive. "MESSENHAUSER. A letter from Presburg, which mentions the return of the beaten Hungarian army, adds, that measures were being most speedily adopted for tl , e fortification of Presburg. PRUSSIA. Advicea have been received from Berlin of the .sth instant. On the morning of that day there was a grand public fun*ral procession, in honour of one of the workmen who was killed in the recent emeute with the Burgher Guard. An address has been presented to JACOBI by several members of the National Assembly, applaud ing his conduct at Sans Souci, and declaring that he merits the thanks of the House and gratitude of the country. In the evening he was serenaded by the members of the various democratic clubs. The public tranquilllity continued undisturbed. BELGIUM. OPENING OF THE BELGIAN CHAMBERS. The session of the Legislative Chambers was opened at Brussels, on the 6th instant, without a royal speech.:M. ANSPACH, the senior Member, took the chair. The Assembly proceeded at once to the for mation of their bureaux ; the retiring Members were unanimously re-elected. The bureau, consequently, is composed as follows :—President, M. VERRAGEN ; Vice-Presidents, MM. DaLrossE and HENRI DE BROUCICERE ; Secretaries, TRINDT DE NAER, Du Bus, TRATE, and Ds LUSRMANS. The Minister of Finance ascended the tribune and presented the budgets of 1849 in a speech giving a summary of the financial state of Belgium. The economies made by the State amount to 4,400,000 f. The ordinary session of the Senate was also opened under the presidence ^f M. ZoODE, the senior Member. The retiring Members were re-elected for the bureau, with the exception of Baron DE WAIIA, who is re placed as secretary by Baron DB ROYER. M. DUMON•DUMORTIER, in resuming his seat as President, expressed his thanks for this renewed mark of confidence, and the sitting then adjourned. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, Nov. 7.—His Majesty the KING, by a royal decree of the 3d of November, has dissolved the Commission of the States, charged by the decree of the 17th of March, to present a project of the com plete revison of the fundamental law, and at the same time offered his acknowledgments to this Commission for the services which it had rendered to their King and country. His Majesty, by the same decree, has appointed Messrs. DERR, PONKER, CURTIUS DH KIIIPENAJP. RAND, L. L. LUXAC, Commanders of the Order of the Netherlands Lion, and Messrs. L. 1). STonat and J. H. TRORBECRE, Couneillors of State on extraor dinary service. These gentlemen are all members of the Commission of the States. The promulgation of the modified fundamental law took place on the 3d, with all the solemnity of a national fete. The public buildings, the residence of the Minis ter, and a great number of private houses, were deco rated with flags and national colours ; and the bells of the great church rang a merry peal during the day. The numerous preparations which were made indicated that in the evening there would be a very brilliant illumination; but, unhappily, a pouring rain, which did not cease throughout the whole night, prevented this favourite popular demonstration of rejoicing. Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather consi derable crowds moved to and fro in the streets and public squares, which, throughout, presented a most animated aspect. The north fa fade of the Palace of the KING was brilliantly and tastefully illuminated with gas; the band of the regiment of Grenadiers and Chasseurs, placed in one of the Gothic towers, at intervals per formed brilliant pieces and national airs. Between the two towers, the words " Gon is met Neederland" (" Gon is with the Netherlands") showed brilliantly. On the open space round the statue of William the Taciturn, an illumination inj wreaths had a remarkable fine appearance, and an orchestra was erected where the band of the Communal Guard performed throughout the evening the na tional airs, and several fine pieces of music. Various hotels and private houses were illuminated, especially on the Voorhout, where the words " Orange et Petrie" were blazoned in gas. At the National Theatre, which was crowded, the ' manager read some verses, entitled " The Third of November," which were received with the most lively applause by the whole audience. Thus this memorable day, which cannot fail to ex ercise a most happy influence on the future welfare of our country, was celebrated with great festivity. The Waal; Courant states that the Plenipoten tiaries of his Majesty the King of the NETHERLANDS and her Majesty the QUEEN of Great Britain, agreed on the 31st of August, 1848, respecting additional articles to the treaty concluded at the Hague on the 4th of May, 1818, respecting the slave trade, and that the views of both Governments on these additional articles were exchanged on the 24th October. The Starts Courant gives these articles at full length.— Dutch Papers, Nov. 7 . ITALY. The intelligence of the defeat of the Austrians by General PEPE is confirmed. PEPE has driven them back as far as Padua, and taken eight pieces of cannon from them. The Sardinian fleet had cast anchor before Venice in the roads of Pelarosso. A correspondence took place immediately between Rear-Admiral ALBINI and the Austrian Admiral. Letters from Alessandria state that the Duke of Savor intends shortly to transport his head-quarters into the Duchy of Pia. cenza. The Lucca Gazette, of the 31st ult., quotes a tele graphic dispatch from Leghorn, announcing that a courier had arrived in that town to General GARI BALDI, informing him that an insurrection had broken out in Lombardy. General GARIBALDI was pre paring to march with his band immediately for Parma. The Opinione of Turin, of the 3d, states from Civita Vecchia that a sedition had broken out on the 25th ult. among the galley slaves, who had found means to procure arms. General Zucca' quelled the disturbance with a detachment of chasseurs, who were obliged to fire three times upon the insurgents LATE SUICIDE AT A SHOOTING GALLERY. —INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) An inquest was held this morning at Green's Shooting Gallery, Leicester-square, before Mr. Bedford, the Coroner, on the body of William M'Donough, who shot himself in the gallery on Tuesday afternoon. It appeared, from the evidence of Mr. John 11. Holmes, who bad known the deceased for many years, that he had been for a long time unfortunate in sporting transactions, and for twelve months at least was observed to be in a desponding state of mind. The person with whom the deceased and his family lodged said he had exhibited every symptom of despair for some time back. John Bell, gymnastic teacher at the gallery, said the deceased came into the gallery between one attil two o'clock on Tuesday, asked some questions about the gymnastic machinery, and then walked out. He re turned after three o'clock the same day, and had a couple of pistols loaded for him, which he discharged; two others he loaded himself, and fired off at the target; and then sent a messenger with a note, addressed to E. G. Clarke, Esq., Clifford street, Bond street. He then reloaded the pistols. Witness heard a report, and on looking in the direction of the deceased, saw him stagger backwards and tall quite dead. Mr. Lenton, a surgeon, described the nature of the wound. The ball was still lodged in the brain. The letter referred to above was as follows: " Two o'clock. " Clarke,—Before you read this I shall be a corpse lying at the Shooting Gallery, Leicester -square. My last request is, that you will see to my poor wife and children. Allen will be in town this day.—Yours, &c." The jury found that the deceased had shot himself, being at the time of unsound mind. WHAT MAY AND MAY NOT BE DONE ON SUNDAYS. (From the Puppet-Show.) 1. You may pass the day in a cigar•divan; But you cannot go to a picture-gallery. 2. You may buy pastry, fruit, or lollipops; But you cannot buy bread. 3, You may enter a fashionable church; But without paying you cannot get a seat 4. You may get in a beastly state of intoxication at a tavern; But you cannot be admitted into a reading-room. 5. You may go to Westminster Abbey; But you cannot stop after the service to admire the statues. 6. In some parts of Scotland you may over -work your servants and drive post-horses to death; But you cannot proceed in a railway to see a dying relation. INTENDED VISIT OF MR. S. CRAWFORD TO RocuDALE.—Printed placards are posted in Rochdale, announcing that on Friday evening, the 10th, Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P., will address the inhabitants of Rochdale, in the Vublio Hal—Manchester Courier. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Sir James Duke entered upon his mayoralty to. day. Had custom permitted him to select a season for his advent to the office of chief magistrate likely to prove more auspicious than that at this season of the year (balmy air and sunny skies) he could not, out " of all the days of the year," have selected a finer or more healthy one than this 9th of November. The air was genial, the atmosphere nearly free from fog and chilling vapours, as is the wont on Lord Mayors' days, and to crown all the sun shone with resplendent brilliancy. Hence citizens and suburbans came forth in goodly array to behold the civic pageant, and raise a cheer for the new Lord Mayor, who adds to his fair fame as a worthy citizen, a loyal subject, and an enterprising merchant, the additional honour of having served his country in the memorable siege of Algiers, where, as we stated yesterday, "on that stirring occasion it is much more likely Sir James expected a cannon-ball for his portion, rather than dream of becoming Lord Mayor of London." We should premise, however, that the Lord Mayor entertained his predecessor in the high office of Lord Mayor, several Aldermen, and personal friends at the Mansion-house to breakfast early this morning. Heretofore a public breakfast has taken place on the 9th of November in the Guildhall ; this year it has been abolished, in consequence of its materially interfering with the arrangements for the banquet in the evening. The breakfast referred to partook altogether of a private character. • The Lord Mayor and party haying attended the Church of St. Lawrence, as usual, he proceeded to the Guildhall. The procession started at twelve o'clock precisely. His Lordship on entering the state coach was much cheered; so also was the late Lord Mayor.

Guard of Honour on Horseback. The procession passed along King-street, Cheap side, Newgate street, Skinner street, Farringdon street, and New Bridge-street, to Blackfriars-bridge, thence by water to Westminster, where his Lordship arrived at half-past one o'clock. His Lordship, who looked extremely well, was much cheered along the entire route, more especially whilst journeying through his own Ward of Far ringdon. Flags were hung from several of the houses; scarcely a window was unoccupied, aid the cheering which greeted his Lordship from house and road must have been mok , " gra• tifying. We never remember having seen so 'many people in the streets on any former Lord Mayor's day within our recollection. They were densely crowded in every part, as much so as when her Majesty opened the Royal Exchange. The bridges were also much crowded, and as his Lordship passed below the arches, the spectators above gave him right hearty cheers. We should not omit to mention that a beautifully constructed ship, fully rigged and actually manned, emblematic of his Lordship's naval . services, Was drawn on a car by six horses. The progress of the vessel was hailed with much enthusiasm. After the swearing in of the Lord " Mayor, the procession again took water. At the Obelisk, Bridge• street, it was joined by the Ambassadors;. her Ma jesty's Ministers of State, the nobility, judges, Mem• bers of Parliament, and other persons of distinction invited to the banquet. • CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in the Old Hall, Lineola's .nn to-day to hear appeal motions. THOMAS V. THOMAS.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before him yesterday, upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The bill was filed by the widow of William Charles Thomas against her nephew, the son of Thomas Hughes Thomas, -for au injunction to restrain proceedings at law on a promissory note for 3001. Thomas Hughes Thomas was a butcher in North Wales. He died in 1832, leaving two daughters and one son, the defendant in the suit. The children being very young, William Charles Thomas, who was their uncle, and a small farmer, took them to his house, and supported them until -his death in 1841. His widow, the plaintiff, being left in the management of the farm at Tresselin, took 'the de fendant, then about twenty years of age, to be her bailiff, and he continued in that capacity until February 1844, when he laid claim to a share of the assets of his father, which, as he alleged, had passed into the hands of his uncle, the husband of the plaintiff. Accounts were produced and examined by Thomas Jones, her brother in-law; and the result was that the plaintiff, on a 'repre sentation of 361/. Bs. being due, consented to Sign st promissory note for 3001. as a compromise. The bill alleged that this note was signed in ignorance of the state of the accounts or the nature of the claim; that the plaintiff was unable to write her own name without difficulty, and cuuld not read the writing of others; that tke defendant not having taken , out representation to his father had no legal even if the liability of the plaintiff was established ; and that at all events there must be an account taken, and $ set-off allowed for the maintenance of the children from the year 1832. The bill was filed in. November, 1845, and on the answer coming in, the Vice-Chancellor; on the merits confessed in it, granted as injunction until the hearing of the cause, on the condition of the plaintiff submitting to judgment at law. The cause was after wards heard, and his:lronour then vacated the judgment, and dismissed the bill-with costs, and against that judg ment the plaintiff appealed to this branch of the,Codrt. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after going at some length into the case, ordered the judgment of the Vice-Chaa cellor Knight Bruce to be affirmed with costs. Appeal dismissed with costs. -- STEPHEN FOX DICKSON F. TEE QUEEN. PETITION or RIGHT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who was in attendance in court specially in the case of " The Corporation of Rochester v. Leo'," said that he wished, before he pro. ceeded with that case, to make an application in a matter with respect to a petition of right. He had been served with notice on the part of a gentleman named Stephen Vox Dickson that it was his intention to apply to the bun for a commission to examine witnesses under II petition of right, in which her Majesty bad commanded right to be done. From the statements of the Learned Attorney-General it appeared that Mr. Dickson, being I spirit dealer in Dublin, had, some years ago, paid 16s. 60. too much to the Excise, and not having' in stituted proceedings within the three years reqUired, he had been defeated in the Courts in Ireland, and, in con sequence of being so, bad presented a petition of , right to the Queen, who bad directed " right to be done." The LORD CHANCELLOR inquired what application the Attorney-General wished to make to the Court? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the only claim Mr. Dickson had against the Crown was for the 165.60.• and he wanted the permission of the Court to pay that amount to him. At the suggestion of the LORD CHANCELLOR,. after some short discussion, and Mr. Dickson not being pre sent in Court, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would give notice to Mr. Dickson that he intended to apply to the Court for leave t• pay him the 16s. GO., and thereby put se end to proceedings which, if allowed .to go on,, Would probably incur an expense of 3001. THE CORPORATION OF ROCHESTER V. LEE. This case stood on the paper to be heard upon appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Knightarucet refusing to grant a new trial. Upon the case being called on, Mr. LOFTIIB WIGRAM objected tak proceed with the appeal, on the ground that the Vice - Chancellor Knight Bruce had, since refusing the motion for anew trial, dir missed the bill, and that therefore there was no cause in court upon which to found the appeal motion. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after some discussion, decided that he could not, hear the motion, and it was then ar ranged that a petition of re-hearing should be presented+ and the motion for a new trial should be heard at the' same time. The other Equity Courts were occupied the whole morning with motions of no general interest. QUEEN'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.) No cases of the slightest public interest occurred during the morning. The Lord Mayor, the Recorder , and suite entered the Court at two o'clock, and, after the usual ceremony, invited their Lordships to the banquet to-night at Guildhall. MARKET NEWS —(THIS DAY.)
