For the next four or five days we can only tarn our thoughts towards Paris, and conjecture. The result of the great contest for the Presidency must remain, as yet, for a considerable time, in profound obscurity. Nothing decisive can be learnt by the Parisians themselves until Thursday, and even then the proportionate numbers will be dependent upoa the votes received from the electors in Corsica and Algeria. It is, therefore, manifest that we must continue in ignorance upon the subject until Saturday at the very earliest. The delay is only the inevitable consequence of the ballot and of universal suffrage. When as many as seven or eight millions are partici pating in the struggle, when the votes of those seven or eight millions are crumpled up in the urns of election, and when each of the tickets inscribed with the name of a candidate has to be separately extracted and subsequently calculated in the aggregate—it is evident that an accurate appreciation of the estimate must be liable to an extraordinary procrasti nation. Rapid as the labours of the Committee of Supervision may be, they must, perforce, be singularly prolonged. Against our will, therefore, we must exercise patience, and at the same time rest assured that bef ore t h e a b solute result reaches our know l e d ge it will be preceded by a variety of the most conflict ing and p reposterous rumours Whatever is the consequence of the struggle, that struggle has already terminated—the secre t r e p ose s impossible at this moment in th e urns, p a ossible though it be at it this moment to anticipate character. One or ot by a other of the candidates has alread y majority, though whether th a t ma triumphedri jY prove, on examination, to be sufficient to render the p o c pular election valid, remains more than ever clublous sidering the number of candidates, five of them of 8 „, : n r ; conspicuous character—CAVAIGNAC—RASPAIL---L;.. DRU ROLLIN--LOIIIS NAPOLEON—and LAMARTINIZ it is indeed doubtful beyond measure if any one amongst them will gain the absolute majority of two millions. From the preliminary decrees passed by the National Assembly as to the formalities consequent upon the nomination and inauguration of a President, it would appear, in fact, as though the popular repre sentatives calculated upon the ultimate decision of the question by themselves. They have provided for the emergency of an invalid election. And, as an intro ductory step towards the solidification of the Repub lican institutions, they have constituted a Provisional Council of State, consisting of thirty members, dis tinguished in the majority of instances by their de votion to Democracy. As a significant evidence of the sentiments with which the National Assembly view the future government of France, the consti tution of this Provisional Council of State must be regarded as in every particular remarkable. 1. ...

Twenty-one out of the thirty Provisional Coun cillors of State are consequently men pledged to the maintenance of the Republican institutions—men whose careers afford a guarantee of their loyalty to the democratic form of government. Selected moreover immediately by the National Represen tation as the depositaries of the political conscience of the nation, they enable us to estimate the propor tion of parties within the very bosom of the Repub lican Parliament. From this extraordinary prepon derance of the true Republicans in the National As sembly, and in the Provisional Council of State, it is obvious that the destruction anticipated for the Re public by the retrograde party is little less than a sheer impossibility. Were we to repose any confidence in the assertions of the numerous enthusiasts in the French capital, we should certainly be bewildered into the belief that more Presidents than one would emerge from the ballot-boxes of the. metropolis and the depart ments. The adherents of CAVAIGNAC would compel us to credit the certainty of his election. The motley supporters of Louts NAroLzos would reduce us to the conviction that the Prince must be victorious. Nay, the select worshippers of LAMARTINE would leave us in no doubt as to the ultimate triumph of the poet-states man. Sullen threats and sinister predictions are the only demonstrations in favour of RASPAIL or La mm-ROLLIN, though the resolution of the Red Ultras, and of the Socialist faction, is as earnest as that of the admirers of the other competitors. Throughout the haze of obscurity resulting from these opposite reports not one glimmering beam of light is perceptible. We must tarry—and, tarrying, we must repose in confidence upon the capacity of the French multitude to choose for themselves. Whatever is their decision it should, and will, be held sacred. The future President will be the embodi ment of the will of the nation, be that President LAMARTINB, or CAVAIGNAC, or Louis NAPOLEON. He will be consecrated by the votes of the people —votes rendered doubly potent by emanating from universal suffrage and lying under the shelter of the ballot. President LAMARTINE, or President CAVAIGNAC, or President BONAPARTE—the choice of the electors will have rendered him the very incar nation of French nationality. Rumour declares that, as yet, the Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has the most probability of success. Supposing this to be veritably the case, and presuming that the patriotism of the Prince has ex tinguished his ambition, we could yet indulge in a daydream of the consolidation of the Republican Government under his Presidency. This day-dream he might realise, and its realisation would be this : ARMAND MARRAST, Vice-president of the Republic, General CAVAIGNAC, Minister of War, M. DE LA MARTINE, Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. MARIE, Minister of Justice, M. GARNIER PAGES, Minister of, Finance, M. DUPAURE, Minister of the Interior, General CHANGARNIER, Commander of the National Guard, General SUBERYIE, Commander of Paris, General LAMORICIERE, Governor of Algeria, M• DUPONT (de l'Eure), President of the Council, with out portfolio, M. FassLoN, Minister of Public Wor ship, M. &NAND, President of the National As sembly. With a continuance of the jealousies which still distract political parties in France, we must acknowledge that such a combi nation and reconciliation appears to be the very acme of improbability. Yet all might be ac complished satisfactorily for France if her different statesmen had the self-forgetfulness and the unam bitious patriotism of M. DR LAMARTINE-•—if they would consent to take the second, the third, or even the last place in labouring to secure her happiness. The accounts from Ireland are still of the most painful character. Day by day the gloom that over hangs the entire country, more especially the southern and western districts, deepens in intensity. Every post brings us intelligence of wholesale evictions, of vast tracts of land being cleared of their miserable inhabi tants, of cottages rased to the ground, and the house less and homeless wretches who formerly obtained shelter therein, being driven at this inclement season from their humble abodes without a morsel of food or the protection of a roof. On the other hand, we are told of absconding tenants ; of those who have the ability, but not the will to satisfy the just demands of their landlords, who convert their entire stores into cash, and fly from their native land to seek a home on the other side of the Atlantic, leaving large arrears not only of rent, but also of rates, tithe, rent charge, and other demands that remain charges on the hold ings, and must, of course, be satisfied by the defrauded proprietors. It would, in fact, Appear as if a fierce conflict was carried on between the landlord and tenant classes, as if the sole object of each was to inflict the utmost degree of injury on the other. Of course there are many honourable exceptions. Men are to be found who discharge their duties honestly and conscientiously; but we regret to say that the general rule is otherwise, and it requires but little prescience to foresee the inevitable result. We have been told, on the highest authority, " that a house divided against itself cannot stand." Society in Ire land is, unhappily, so divided ; and unless peace can be restored between the belligerents—unless both parties are disposed to yield a little, and to act upon a system of reciprocity and mutual advantage, it will be vain to hope for the arrival of more prosperous and happier days. This untoward state of affairs may partly be attri buted to the enormous burdens that press with equal severity upon all. The great mass of the people are kept in a state of idleness, unprofitably consuming the resources of the country. A want of capital, or rather a want of circulating medium sufficient for the national exigencies prevents the peasantry from obtaining employment, as they cannot maintain themselves by the wages of their labour; they are driven to the poor-rates for support, and these poor rates absorb the greater portion of the produce of the land, and a perpetual struggle is thereby occasioned be tween the proprietors and occupiers of the soil—both classes cannot be supported thereout. The diminu tive profits will not bear division. They therefore, repe a o n tively,endeavour to oppress or to defraud their opponent s , t o o bt a i n a ll f or themselves. The re an a onl m ya y dequate remedy for the sufferings of Ireland is may be the du e d eve l opmen t o f h er i n du s try. There r questio n i s the best means by which profitable providedemploy ment practical od p e e o p l o e f , a and a i l i t n b g e onlyour selves u r . selves of these opportunities relief to the lab our i ng clmses w by ith a o ff u o t rd b i u n community at large. aonrgd eni n g effectualth e plainest and mos t obvious of these method s We Wouldgthe again, altphrooupegrh at n..e have already repeated it ue ad the reclamation of the wast e lands, and a azra, refer to tention to the Irish fisheries. The second letter of our esteemed correspond ent, Mr. RIGBY WAGON, to LORD JOEIN Ru sg : ti which will be found in extenso in a no th er column ' exposes, with caustic severity, the absurdity of the maxims and rules of the " One-eyed men," of those who cannot perceive that the only alternative that remains is whether the Government will feed the people in some of the Irish unions, or compel them to work in exchange for the food that must be given to them. It is impolitic for the Government to employ the people, cry the " One-eyed men"—it is impolitic to interfere with the rights of property. So the people are demoral,ted by being maintained in idleness ? T enormous expense, but then they are not employed by the State. The lands remain waste and uncultivated, alike unprofitable to their nominal owners and to the community in general, but then the rights of property are preserved inviolate. Thus everything of practical utility is sacrificed to the maintenance of an abstract principle—the substance is lost while seeking to retain the shadow. Many persons will oppose obstacles to every practical suggestion that is made to ameliorate the condition of the people. Some impediments will be discovered to every proposition that is brought forward for the improvement of the country. It is one of the worst features in the Irish character that there is invariably a craving for something beyond their reach, while the existing means are disregarded and neglected. The same failing is perceptible among men of every grade and station in society, from the most exalted to the humblest. A letter on the state of Ireland, which appeared this day in a morning contemporary, and purported to come from an " Irish Peer " affords a strong illustration of this phase of the Irish character. The Irish Peer objects that the reclamation of the waste lands will not pay that, therefore, the bogs should not be drained the mountains brought into tillage. Against this, however, we have the published report of one of the first engineers now living, who has not hesitated to affix his name to a document stating that more than three-and-a-half millions of acres could be brought into cultivation so as to pay ten per cent. at least on the amount of expenditure. We need scarcely ask which autho rity is the highest, the anonymous Peer, who we doubt not is thoroughly convinced of the correctness of his own conclusions, or the well-known engineer, whose character is, to a certain extent, at stake on the accuracy of his judgment. Again, the Peer complains of the difficulties of carrying on the fisheries on the western coast. The fish lie far at sea, and require large vessels of 50 tons at least to be employed in their capture ; there is no market for the fish when obtained, nor salt to cure them. These difficulties are, however, by no means insuperable. Why not obtain a better class of vessels ? There is no in vestment would prove more remunerative. Why not establish stations, as we have already suggested, at certain intervals along the coast, where the fish would be purchased and sent to market, and salt distributed to those who required it ? There are obstacles certainly, but they are by no means in superable, and it is essential that the Government and the people should co-operate cordially together, and they will be easily overcome. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The election on Sunday passed off very quietly. The weather was very fine and the streets were crowded, but there was not the slightest appearance of any attempt to create a disturbance. The Gaz e tte des Tribunaus says—" There is nothing in the appearance of the population to justify the fears which certain agitators have endeavoured to create in the minds of the people. The most ener getic measures, however, have been taken in all parts of the capital to repress immediately, and on its first appearance, any attempt that may be made to create disorder. The Journal des Debats says—" From what we have seen at the polling places we imagine that the number of voters must be much more considerable than they have been on any former occasion. The only return yet received is that of the votes on board the flotilla which was to have formed the expedition to Civita Vecchia. Under the idea that they were to sail immediately, their votes were taken, and the following is the result : LOUIS NAPOLEON 1,064 General CAVAIGNAC . 914 A few votes were given to M. DE LAILARTINB and M. LEDEU- ROLLIN. Telegraphic dispatches have been received by the Government from many of the departments. The election was proceeding in all of them in a perfectly orderly manner. M. RECURT has written a letter to the Auemblle Nationale, declaring that the statement made by that journal of his having placed in the situation of sub director of the octroi duties a person named BonusAu, the confidant and accomplice of Final; is an infa mous calumny. He calls on that journal to insert in its earliest number the letter of denial. The journal in which this calumny appears is the recently established organ of the Orleanists, and may be considered as the successor of the celebrated Npoque, which was conducted by the notorious GAREIEE DE CASSAIGNAC and his brother-in-law, the convicted perjurer DE BEAUVALLON. The election for Deputy to the .National Assembly for Corsica has terminated in the return of M. Louis LWCIEN BONAPARTE, the son of the late LUMEN BONAPARTE, and brother of the Prince of CmaiNo. The numbers were— M. Louis Lucien Bonaparte General Arrighi ............ General ARRIGLI - I was recommended to the electors by J EROME BONAPARTE, ex-King of Westphalia, by his son NAPOLEON, and by Prince Louis NAPO LEON', in opposition to M. LOUIS LUCIEN BONAPARTE. LUCIEN and his sons were always, on account of their uncompromising republicanism, objects of fear and dislike to the other members of the BONAPARTE family. There was a Socialist banquet at the Barrilere du Maine on Sunday, at which 1,400 guests were pre sent. One of the speakers, aM. MARLE, boasted that one of his sons was among the number of those trans ported, and that another had been in prison for a long time. " That is nothing," added this flaming " red" patriot, tti brought them up for it." The Constitutionnel which seems ambitious of equalling the Press* in the invention and publication of calumnies , having stated on Saturday that General CAVAIGNAC had appointed M. BLEISE to the office of Director of the Mont de Piet6, and had increased the salary of the office from 10,000 f. to 16,000 f., because M. BLEISE was one of the editors of the National, has been obliged in its number of Monday to publish the following letter from M. BLEISE himself. " Paris, Dec. 10, 1848. " Monsieur le Redacteur—The note which you yester day published, relative to my nomination to the func tions of director of the Mont de PAIS of Paris, is com pletely inexact. 1. I was not named director by an order signed by General Cavaignac on November 25; my nomination goes back to May 30, and was made by M. Recurt, then Minister of the Interior. It is not, therefore, a nomination in catremis, and the delay of my installation was caused by considerations which have no connexion whatever with the present situation. 2. lam not one of the editors of the National, nor have I ever had the honour of writing in any journal. 3. I do not receive 15,0001. of salary, the amount at present being only 10,000 f., having been reduced a third. If that amount is too high, let it be again reduced. Those who are acquainted with me, know that pecuniary motives have never actuated my acts. This is perhaps a case to repeat, according to a celebrated diplomatist, and with out meaning to allude in any way to the directicn of the office of my honourable predecessor, that in admin. istrative matters nothing is so dear as what is gra tuitous." The following is stated to be the result of the first day's polling at Boulogne. Of course it can only be at best an approximation to the truth, and the infor mation is derived from one of the most unscrupulous of the reactionary party : Louis Napoleon ... ••• ... 4,578 General Cavaignac ... ... 2,260 ..

The Mobiles being the minority at first were beaten. They sought the assistance of their comrades, and returned reinforced, when a battle com menced between them with side arms, in which two soldiers were killed outright, and several on each side were wounded. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles says that the troops and seamen in the port voted as follows : General Cavaignac ... • • .. 1,282 Louis Bonaparte ... .., ... 895 Louis Napoleon .. .. .. 69 Napoleon ... ••• ••• • • 8 Ledru-Rollin 406 .. ••• • • Lamartine .. .. ... .. 64 - - announces the arrival of Colonel Camp of Gen e r a l C ATAIGNAC , w h o , a ft er an interview with M.

Madrid journals of the sth inst. have arrived. It appears that the Government has some mis givings as to the ulterior intentions of the British Government as regards the case of Colonel BRISTOW and the payment of the bondholders, and that in con sequence NARVAEZ, MoN, and SAUTORIUS have de vised a scheme for duping the Anglo-Spanish bond holders, and for preventing Lord PALMERSTON from adopting measures to obtain justice for them at the hands of the Spanish Government. NARVABZ and Co. have, it appears, instigated a certain banker to write to London to urge the bondholders to petition the Spanish Government for a settlement of their claims. Should the bondholders be so simple as to adopt this course it will render all remonstrance at any time on the part of the English Government impossible, as the Spanish Government will appeal to this peti tion as proof that the bondholders have left the ques tion of settlement entirely in the hands of Spain. The bondholders, should they sign this petition, will be for the moment entirely at the mercy of the Spanish Government. The Gaceta publishes the following " ROYAL DECREE. "In conformity with the report of my Council of Ministers, I hereby decree that in all churches through out the dominions of Spain public prayers shall be put up for three successive days, all the clergy, authorities, and corporations being in attendance, with previous in vitation to the faithful, in order to emplore the assistance of the Most High, that the necessities of the Catholic Church, and the tribulations of its universal Pastor may have a happy and speedy termination. " Given at the Palace, the 4th Dec., 1848. Is signed by the royal hand. The Minister of Grace and Justice, Lorenzo Arrazola." _ _ A letter from La' Bisbal, of the 27th, in the Barcelones, says that MARSAL, with 300 to 400 Carlist infantry, and 50 cavalry, 20 of whom were Lancers, entered that place at three P.M. on the pre vious day, and remained two hours. They made several purchases, and paid freely for everything they had. Another letter estimates MARSAL'I force at 600 infantry, and 56 cavalry, and says they made pri soners of three soldiers in the town, and that MARSAL took care to warn the corporation, and other persons also went to visit him, not to give him the trouble to come again to collect the contribution allotted to their town: which it appears is levied according to the scale of 1840. CABRERA, accompanied by MAESAL and ESTAItTUS, with 800 men, passed through Cabella on the 2d, retreating before the greatly superior forces of Gene ral ERNA. and Brigadier NouviLLos, in the direction of the mountains of Monseny. Numbers of the Government troops were knocked up in the pursuit, whilst the Carlists) went on their way singing their war songs, and quite ready for the next enterprise CARRERA might have in hand for them. The account of the capture of one of TRISTANIS iS true; but the account of the defeat of his band is untrue. TRISTANI and two of his men were waiting in a farm-house to effect an exchange of prisoners, when they were pounced upon and captured.

It is stated in a letter from Kremsier of the 3d that the Emperor FERDINAND had resolved to abdicate three weeks ago; but, in consequence of political events, the fact was kept secret, lest it should be ascribed to fear. Prince WINDISCHGRATZ and the Ban JELLACHICH had returned to Vienna, and were to leave the next day for their respective corps. The new EMPEROR had shown them great cour tesy. The EMPEROR was expected at Vienna on the 7th to receive the oath of the troops. He is repre sented to be an intelligent young man, and it is said that he himself has suggested that he shall live apart from the other members of the imperial family for some time, in order that it may not be supposed that he is under their influence. His stay would, however, be short. Prince WINDISCHORATS had given up the command of the army at Vienna to General GRURER. The Universities of Vienna and Lembourg are to remain closed during the winter. The following address has been agreed to be pre sented by the National Assembly to the new Em peror FRANCIS JOSEPH I. : " We hail with joy the accession of your Majesty to the throne. Permit us to address you with our respect ful felicitations. Called to the constitutional throne by the voluntary abdication of your uncle Ferdinand 1., and the renunciation of your father, your Majesty will feel towards all your people the same love and the same kindness as your prede cessor, and, like him, you will find in the devotion and confidence of all the inhabitants throughout the monarchy a solace for the cares and anxieties of Government. The Diet, penetrated with the importance of its high mission, will dedicate itself without relax ation to the great work of the Constitution, and will thus endeavour to second the exertions of your Ma jesty and the people, for the interest and prosperity of our common country. Providence has committed to your Majesty the exalted duty of cementing the liberties bestowed by Ferdinand the Good—of protecting them against the storms of the future, and of healing the wounds of the past. Free institutions bec ome more firm when based on the throne, and it is a noble idea for a Monarch to watch over the destinies of a free people. Long live our constitutional Emperor, Francis Joseph L (Signed) " FRANCIS SMOLRA. " Kremsier, Dec. 2." PRUSSIA. It was imagined that on the 7th of December some of the Members of the Left might attempt to hold a sitting of the Diet at Brandenburg, and mea. cures were adopted to prevent them from meeting. At a meeting held the day before, at which Ihmuit presided, it had been determined not to make the attempt, nor to issue any protest, as the protest of the 9th of November was sufficient. On the 7th the generality of the Left proceeded to the Cathedral to verify the fact of closure. Upon arriving they found the following printed notice affixed to- the entrances, and laid upon the table of the Questor's office : "In conformity with the accompanying royal decree of the sth inst., which, together with its annexed Minis terial reports, whereon it is founded, I hasten to com municate, the sitting of the National Assembly, an nounced by me to open on th e 7 t h i nst . a t 11 £3'., will not, as a matter of course, take place. The Questor of the Chamber, M. Miitske, is commissioned by me to re main at Brandenburg until 1 o'clock, P.M., on Saturday next, to settle whatever outstanding business may be requisite with Members. s - ' The President by seniority of the dissolved National Assembly. (Signed) " VON BRUNNECK. " Brandenburg, Dec. 6, 1848." The majority of the Members left Brandenburg the same evening. The Prussian Staats Anseiger says that, " in conse quence of the refusal to pay the taxes by many per sons in accordance with the decree of the National Assembly, numbers have offered not only to pay the ordinary taxes, but have offered money to the royal treasury, without interest, and even without requiring its return ; indeed, some patriots have offered all they possess to the Government. The Minister of Finance announces, that the refusal to pay taxes having been confined to a few places and persons, and the trea sury being sufficiently provided to meet the wants of the public service, the Government declined the offers so generously made. He expresses at the same time his gratitude for gifts so generously tendered." Accounts from Silesia, of the 2d, state that on the previous day there was a large meeting of the peasantry of Burgsdorff. A certain CABUE DE Roscnitowirz, known for his litigations with many of the nobles, presided. He had been named repre sentative in the Assembly of Berlin, and is a strong Radical. He sought to kill a person at Rosen, and induced the mob to accompany him there, when they entered the house of the party and violently ill treated him. They then proceeded to other houses, and it was not until the tocsin was sounded, and two men were shot and two wounded, that tranquillity was restored. The troops arrived next day, and oc cupied the place. BEELIN,Dxc. 10.—The Prussian Stoats Anzeiger of this day contains a proclamation to the Minister of War, VON STROVI EN relative to various regulations and changes in th e military department, and likewise an answer to the Berlin Landwehr battalion, in reply to their complaining that they have not in the present time been called out. The Minister states that their having been already under arms two months this year, was deemed a sufficient claim upon their time, and that, moreover, they were known to be in such admirable order, that if their services were requisite they would be ready for active service at the shortest notice. ______ The Cologne Gazette affirms that General WItAXGBL has declared that the siege of Berlin will be raised on the 15th. FRANKFORT. At a meeting of the representatives, held on the gth, it was determined on the proposition of DAHL MANN and BESELER„ that the Headship of the Em pire should be an hereditary office. Great exertions are making to secure the election of the King of PRUSSIA to the hereditary headship. In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 9th, M. Vox SCHMERLING replied to several inter pellations on for e i gn a ff a i rs. On t h e su bj ec t o f Swit zerland, the lion. Minister refused to give any fur ther explanation. With reference to the affairs of llungary, he observed that the sympathy for the people of that country was general in Germany, and DECEMBER 12, 1848, in that sympathy he participated ; but that the Re gent's Cabinet declined to interfere in the matter. Permission was then granted by the Assembly, after a tiresome discussion, for the prosecution of some of its Members, against whom the tribunals could not proceed until their " privilege of Parlia ment" was withdrawn. The parties thus abandoned to the jurisdiction of the country consist of GUNTLEB, the cblieague of the late M. BLUM in the editorship of a paper called the Reichstag Zeitung ; the editor, not named, of a cer tain Conservative paper, for libel ; and a Jewish bookseller (one LEwYsouN), for high treason. A motion&by M. RliuL for the dissolution of the Assembly was negatived. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS , QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very firm; sales 6,000 bale:.—Hailway Shares bore an im proved value in many instances. More attention is at present directed to the progress of events in France than anywhere else, and there is still an impression that Louis Napoleon will be elected. His party, however, being the most noisy, may rather mislead. The Hamburgh advices quote the exchange on Lon don without alteration, viz., 13.9, andithe same features existed as before, viz., abundance of money, and a good market for stocks and shares. In Saxony, and other parts of Germany, manufacturing operations are being gradually resumed, and there are strong hopes expressed by parties writing thence that business affairs will be come more prosperous. _ _ _ . . South Australian accounts, of July 19, have been re ceived. The colonists were as active as ever in woi king the different mines. The Stock Market is very buoyant again to-day, and the dealings have been at the highest quotations of yes terday. The " contango" has been maintained, but this may arise from delay on the part of those who should earlier have arranged their accounts. Consols have realised 874 and 88i for Transfer, and 88 to 881 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 864 to 87i, and the Three per Cents. 861 to 864. Bank Stock has been done at 1891 to 191, being a further rise. Exchequer-bills are 39a. to 425. premium. It would appear from the condition in which the market now is, that the public are disposed to " shut" with stock on their hands, and that in this way the amount pressed on the market by the Government and one or two other brokers has been readily absorbed. In the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have again been most in favour, and have realised 224 to 2* Peru vian Bonds have improved to 391-, and Brazilian to 74k. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 244 and quiet. Spanish Three per Cents. realise 25i 4. Dutch Two-and- Half per Cents. have been 47-a Russian Stock is worth 102. Railway Shares have been all in steady demand again to-day, and fuller prices are generally required where purchases are made.

The Nazionale of Florence says that the intrigues of the reactionnaires at Bologna have induced the Governor of the city not to recognise the new Roman Ministry, and that he hes sent Deputies to travel throughout Romagna to endeavour to create a party, and form a Provisional Government, composed of General Zuccni, the Prince of SPADA, and Count MASTAI. Count MASTAI has been received in Bo logna with enthusiasm, and General Zuccui is at the head of the National Guard. Bologna has refused to pay taxes. Ferrara and Ancona have given in their adhesion to the Roman Assembly. The Swiss troops in Rome have refused to obey CAMPELLO and GA LETTI, and have, it is said, retired to Bologna. The Roman troops were concentrating at Foligno and at La Cattolica. The POPE was still at Gaeta. We learn from the Opinione of Turin that the Archduke REGNIER, late Viceroy of Lombardy, had arrived at Mantua, and that RADETZKT was shortly expected there at the head of a considerable force. It is rumoured that a congress of Austrian archdukes, generals, and princes, is to be held at Mantua, to dis cuss the affairs of Italy. The Tempo of Naples informs us that on the morning of the Ist of December the Grand Almoner send the clergy of the Palace went from Naples to Gaeta to address the POPE, who received them graciously, and allowed them to kiss his feet. He then addressed them in these terms :—" The will of the MOST HIGH is inscrutable. I had not resolved to come to Gaeta, but the hospitality of your KING detains me. I trust my residence here will be for the good of Christianity. May it lead to the peace so much to be desired." His , HOLINESS afterwards, in great state, repaired to the Cathedral, where he was met by the high ecclesiastics and some of the ministry. When the service was over, the PorE returned to his palace, and addressing the Minister of State, said, " The Princes had done all they could for the people, but a portion of the latter, not content, were demand ing that which was unjust. I offer up my prayer to GOD to enlighten them." The Corriere Mercantile of Dec. 6 says the sup plement of the Alba brings the following news, of which we wait the confirmation :—The PorE has issued a violent protest against the events of the 16th of November, and asserts that all the concessions have been extorted from him by force. It is also said that he has convoked at Gaeta the diplomatic body, 'and named a Ministry to act in his absence. At, this news the Roman people were enraged, and were prepared to declare the dethronement of his HOLINESS." The Corriere states also that 7,000 French troops have landed. at Civita Vecchia, and another body of Eng lish troops at Ancona. These operations are stated to be to prevent an Austrian invasion, and to uphold the mediation. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Tu• rin, on the 7th, a question was put to the Ministry, as to whether they recognised the programme of the new Austrian Ministry stating that Austria would rest on the treaties, and retain Italy as part of the Austrian territory. The Minister refused to enter into a discussion, and limited himself to saying there had been no alteration of the bases of the mediation. The President of the Council informed the Cham ber that a telegraphic dispatch had been received, officially announcing that the mediation was accepted by Austria, and that the conferences would forthwith commence at Brussels. M. DE CORCELLES, the French Envoy Extraordi nary to the POPE, arrived at Civita Vecchia, in the Osiris, on the morning of the Ist instant. He imme diately proceeded to Rome, and returned on the 3d to Civita Vecchia, when he embarked for Gaeta. TURKEY. THE CHOLERA. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 15.—Within the last week we have had several fresh cases of cholera, and they have oecurred in those districts which were already reported " clean." In Salonica there were several cases, and likewise in Smyrna. It still prevails in Banidir, Tyre, and Hindin, as well as in various parts of the interior of Anatolia. In Beyrout and Der el Kamer it likewise prevails; in the latter place it is much much more fatal among the Drum than the Maronites. The Druses being fatalists, neglect and despise every preventive. The Maronites had ordered quarantine in their mountain holds. The Druses who had thereby been checked in commercial intercourse, re fusing to submit to these regulations, they laid their‘ complaints before SALT AGRA, the Turkish commandant of Derel' Kamer, but he re fused to listen to them, and they accordingly sent a deputation to the Pacha in Beyrout. The Pacha, however, considering the cholera contagious, so far from listening to their complaints, detained three of the Shieks, who came with the deputation, as hos tages, in order to prevent the commencement of hosti lities, the two parties having resolved to decide the question of " contagion " or " non-contagion" by force of arms. Everything else here otherwise is quiet ; all are in suspense respecting the result of things in Europe, and the political horizon of Germany especially rivets attention to an unusual degree. M. blussuaus, who arrived here last week from Athens, brought U 3 the first intelligence of the bom bardment of Vienna; the Austrian courier has not yet arrived.

BO ULOGNE-SUR-MER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Our winter season promises to be one of unusual gaiety. A winter etablissement has been opened in the Cite D'Herlen, which will more than compensate for the loss of the .Etablissement des Bales, which invariably closes during the winter months. The Cite D'Herlen is situated in a very convenient, because central, locality. It comprises the Arcade formerly the Passage d'Her len (which runs between the Grande Rue and the Rue des Vieillards) and the magnificent saloons ad joining it. These saloons and part of the Arcade it self have been fitted up as reading, music and dancing rooms. The newspapers and literary pe riodicals of London and Paris are profusely scattered on the tables for the amusement of morning loungers, and almost weekly the subscribers are in vited to a magnificent ball. The ball of last Wed nesday was peculiarly attractive; every lady and gentleman was presented with a ticket for a lottery which was drawn during the evening, one fortunate individual drawing a piece mouige, and another " une surprise." The general arrangements being superintended by M. D'Herlen (the pro prietor of the Arcade) is a guarantee for their ex cellence, and for the respectability of the personas de la societe. The new cite bids fair to become the principal rendezvous of the haul toss of Boulogne, and as such it will, to visitors especially, be one of the chief attractions of the town. MR. ARCHER'S BENEFIT AT THE HAYMARKET TELEATRE.—The annual benefit of Mr. J. I'. Archer, the box bookkeeper at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, takes place at that theatre, on Thursday evening next. Mr. Archer has put forth a most attractive programme. The performances commence with bhakspere's comedy f the Two Gentlemen of Verona, in which Mr. Charles Kean appears as Valentine, and Mrs. Charles Kean as Julia, and concludes with the Huneymooss, with Mr. Charles Kean as Duke Aranaa, and Mrs. Charles Kean as Juliana. This is the only time the Honeymoon will be performed at second price. With such attractions to back up his own merits, there cannot be a doubt but that Mr. Archer will have a bumper. 1. IA P.
