The repeated representations that have been made to the manage ment respecting a reduction of prices, in order to meet the exigencies of the times, have led to its present adoption.

S min. after 10 Vent AT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER a, 11143. The reaclionaires, and, conspicuous amongst them, our Tory Contemporaries, affect a very pretty, lady like horror of what they are pleased to call Demo cratic Terrorism. They shudder at it, as the waiting woman in " Tom Jones " shuddered at the pattering of a mouse in the wainscot. They are of that class of political exquisites whom HAZLITT scorned so mag nificently in his great prose epic of " Napoleon " men who hate " the look of the people, the touch of the people, the smell of the people, the dress of the people." LYDIA LANGUISH was not near so lacka daisical as these petit-n aitree of Absolutism. They shrink from the invigorating influences of liberty, and find comfort only in the compulsory quietude, the mediocrities, the stagnation, and the torpor which are the results produced by a despotic Government. In those beautiful revelations of patriotism which constitute the principal portion of the autobiography of General GUGLIELMO PEPE, it is observed by the Neapolitan memorialist that the mass of a population accustomed to tyranny prefers the certain severities of an armed force and a rigorous administration to an insurgent rabble. No matter how magnanimous the conduct of that rabble, the terrors caused by the fitful character of its movements are less endurable to this degraded class of citizens than the sternest atrocities committed by the soldiers of a despot. This fact was proved in 1820 at Palermo, and in 1848 at Naples. It conveys a truth of such eternal exist ence, that it might be reduced to an aphorism. And the reason of its existence is simply this—that people whose souls cannot rise above the dead level of L. S. D.—men whose intellects are incapable of appreciating the blessedness of freedom—men whose hearts have never been thrilled with the aspirations of civism, of knowledge, or of civilization—look more to the balancing of their ledgers, and the scoring up of fresh orders upon their day-books than to the attain ment of their liberties or the acquisition of a constitution. Had these been the sentiments of ur forefathers the great Revolution of 106 had never tasked the eloquence of BABINGTON MACAULAY. Thanks be to heaven ! it is otherwise with the majority, and nations will still continue to struggle for their emancipation, notwithstanding that in so doing they are liable to create a momentary panic in the markets, to frighten a few old women (of both stases) into hysterics, and to fill the streets with ttretoct-acmasiulotn o and_ a disorder which are inevitable upon popular victory. It is rather unfortunate , by the way, that in proof of the horrors of this same e " Democratic Terrorism,', our Contemporaries should abhorrence at Berli n and Vienna, ve pointed the fi nger of because, with the exception of It is unfort una t e, (perpetrated in the distraction of an assassination the conduct of the Berliners and Van moment intervals in which they held undispntedloaduring the of those two capitals was beyond all eulo g i n r in i°n re gard to its probity, its generosity , its gentleness, and 'its magnanimous forgetfulness of vengeance. Con trasted with the fiendish brutalities of the Imp er i al troops, the behaviour of the mob throughout the time of their triumph was sublime for its lenity and self possession. And the recollection of the death of LA TOUR was effaced by the murder of BLust, by the sacrifice of MESSENHAUSER, and by the wholesale massacre of students, and poets, and journalists, and civilians, who expiated in a premature and ignominious grave the crime of having dreamed the holy dream of Freedom. Even according to the acknowledgments made by the counter-revolutionists, the order preserved at Vienna after the expulsion of the EMrEaoa and before the arrival of the Croats, is described as having been something marvellous. At a time when the dregs of society were shaken to the surface, trinkets could lie about in the kennels with out being stolen—as is proved by an anecdote men tioned in one of the contributions to the current num ber of Bentley's Miscellany. On the return, however, of the Imperial forces under Prince WINDISCH• GRATZ, aided by Baron JELLACIIICB, the spectacle presented was, as the whole world knows, very dif ferent. Atrocities as gigantic as any ever committed under the sinister orders of FOUQUIER TINVILLE were reiterated in the capital of Austria with the sanction, if not at the immediate instigation, of the Imperial Commander-in-Chief. And yet after all these experiences we are told of the beneficence of ' 0 4, 4. ,11%. -7 ' fle d c ri .,a vAtit „ • • • .406 -lONS .4,1" THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY ETENING-; DECEMBER 6, 1848.: Absolute authority, and of the miseries consequent upon " Democratic Terrorism." Although the misrepresentations of the reactzen aires would lead the contemporary multitude to imagine otherwise, posterity will perceive, through the impartial records of History, that the revolutionary movements of 1848 have, in the majority of instances, emanated from the convictions and the patriotism of the better class of citizens. The people who revolted against the French monarchy in February were identical in sentiment and principle with the people who subsequently rose in arms at Milan, at Berlin, at Vienna, at Pesth, and throughout Posen. On the other hand the rabble who fought behind the barri cades of June, were the same in atrocity and the same in ferocity with the murderers who desecrated the precincts of the Eternal City and stormed the palace of the Quirinal. No event since the first dawning of civilization has done so much injury to the sacred cause of Democracy as that which has rendered the Roman mob the opprobrium and horror of Christendom. The insults inflicted by them upon the venerable person of Pope Pius IX. are enough to deter any monarch from ever again spontaneously bestowing the blessings of political emancipation upon his subjects. The dignity of humanity, the reputa tion of democracy, the reverence for virtue, the admiration for gentleness, the homage for genius, the respect for misfortunes, all plead with a persuasive ness beyond that of earthly eloquence for the solace of Pro Norco in his exile and the repu diation of the Roman ruffians in their success. The voice of loathing which has resounded over Europe must have penetrated before this into the council; chambers of the Government of Assassins installed in the city of the Pontificate. That voice is filled with the augury of their downfal, and until the downfal of the bloodstained Socialists of Rome the fame of Democracy will require some signal vindication. We yesterday spoke of the reclamation of the waste lands in Ireland as being one of the plainest and most obvious of the remedial measures for that country. It is no new suggestion; many years since it was pressed upon the Government and the Legislature, and it has been since advocated with the utmost zeal and perseverance by men who have maturely considered the condition of the sister kingdom, and traced her misfortunes and sufferings to the true sources. There is no doubt or difficulty about the matter. Every necessary inquiry has already been instituted, and we pOSSES3 the fullest and most authentic information respecting the localities of the lards susceptible of i nprovement, the nature of the works to be undertaken, the amount of the expenditure re quired for their reclamation, the time within which they could be brought into cultivation, and the pro bable value of the reclaimed lands. Mr. RICHARD GRIFFITH, a gentleman whose very name will give authority to any statement, has reported fully and explicitly on all these points. He has shown that as a mere speculation it would be of a most profitable character. Ten per cent. is the estimated return in the more favourable localities, and the whole of the outlay would be applied (with the exception of such sums as may be paid to the proprietors for the fee simple of the lands) in the payment of wages to able— bodied labourers, who are now burdens on the re sources of the country, in place of being the creators of national wealth. _ _ One obstacle, however, intervenes that has hitherto proved insuperable, and which cannot be surmounted without the aid of the Legislature, viz., the compli cation of legal titles, the difficulty of ascertaining that the lands can be conveyed to those willing to undertake their reclamation without the risk of being subsequently deprived of the legitimate fruits of their enterprise and industry. The nominal proprietor would gladly dispose of his interest therein. With crippled means and restricted powers, he could never himself hope to drain bogs or reclaim mountains. Whatsoever he might receive, either in the shape of purchase-money for the sale of the fee and inheritance of the lands, or of rent on a long lease, would be so much saved, a new source of income opened to him. He would be delighted to c u-operate in any man ner, but the law interposes a barrier. Ile has but an estate for life, or some other limited interest in the lands. The remainder-man cannot be bound by any act of his ; and thus the system of entailing and tying-up lands practically prevents their ameliora tion, and. operates most prejudicially upon the welfare of the community in general. The lands may also be mortgaged, or otherwise encumbered ; any lease or other conveyance that might be made would be subject 'to these de mands, so that no sane person would embark his capital in a speculation where he might be deprived of the beneficial results thereof from contingencies wholly beyond his own control. Under the most favourable circumstances, even supposing the pro perty to be wholly free from entail, charge, or in cumbrance, considerable costs would be incurred in preparing the abstract of title, making the necessary searches, and conducting the other inquiries that might be deemed essential. These impediments have hitherto prevented any extensive reclamation of waste lands by private enterprise; save in the rare instances where the owner of the soil is himself enabled to undertake the necessary outlay, nothing can be done. Of course cases may occur, and we rejoice to say have occurred, in which individual proprietors have, by their own energy and perseverance, converted barren wastes into arable and pasture lands. But those constitute the exception, and not the rule, and few Irish land lords possess means sufficient to venture upon the experiment. This difficulty can only be overcome by a bold and comprehensive law, enabling the nation to take possession of the lands lying waste and un cultivated, whenever the nominal proprietor declines to undertake the reclamation thereof within a certain limited time, compensation should of course be given to the former owner, either in money, or in a certain fixed annual rent payable thereout for ever. This compensation might be assessed by a jury selected and impanelled, as in cases of property taken for railway purposes. One objection only can be made to such a course :—lt is impolitic to interfere with private property. And this has been suffered to prevail amongst those whom Mr. RIGBY WASON so properly terms " one-eyed men ;" so that a course, which is as equitable and just as it is wise and expedient, is retarded by the obsti nate adherence to an abstract principle, which is certainly sound in itself, but to which there are many exceptions. If a precedent were required for such a course it might be found in the power given to every railway company to take lands, against the will of the owner, for the construction of the line, the due development of the traffic, or even the mere convenience of the company. If land that has been improved to the highest degree, that has been built upon—and which may, perhaps, be deemed by the owner indispensable to the full enjoyment of the residue of his property in that locality—may be thus taken possession of, notwith standing the strenuous opposition of the proprietor, because the interests of the community in general demand the sacrifice, surely it is a much slighter invasion of the rights of property to insist that those suffered W ho have not complied with the conditions upon which their title was originally conferred—who have lacnodnsvetrotrdemainwasteand unproductive that should surrenderyththae might be the . most beneficial purposes— vrights they have disregarded, the privilege s the e m isapplied to the . State, in conferredl;e upon more ener order that they m ay arsons —the full and fair value parties to whom the getie and deserving thereof being first p by th e re-assemblin of new title may be given. The first step to be taken on the Parliament should be to pass an Act appointingg Corn. missioners, who should be authorised to take posses sion of all lands remaining waste and uncultivated. The Commissioners should be empowered to sanction all sales or leases of land for the purposes of reclai m ,. tiun ; and such acts should, after their approval, be wholly unimpeachable. They should also, on the petition of any persons who gave proper security to reclaim the lands, be enabled to make a conveyance thereof upon the value assessed by a jury as hereinbefore-men tioned being paid to the present proprietor. If such a course were adopted, companies and individuals would he induced to invest their capital in under takings that would afford the fairest prospect of re munerating profits ; while more might and should be done by the State itself in furtherance of this most desirable object. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur du Soir announces that the POPE had arrived at Gaeta on the 25th ult., and that the King of NAPLES and the Royal Family had repaired to Gaeta to pay their respects to his HOLINESS. The news was transmitted by telegraph from Marseilles, and was the substance of a dispatch from the French Minister at Nap!es. We find the following in the Presse . :—" A rumour was current last night that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has fled from Florence and left his States. We give this news without in any way guaranteeing l its exactitude, but which unfortunately, since the en trance of M. GUERRAZI to the Ministry, is far from being unlikely." The National says—" We can announce that the place in which the conferences between the mediating Powers and Austria are to be opened is definitively known. It is Brussels which has been proposed, and accepted by a common accord." There were three Socialist banquets held on Sun day in Paris. The first was at Grenelle, and was presided over by Count D'ALTON SHEE, who made a speech, in which he called kings thieves, pillagers, and assassins of their people. Referring to the recent discussion in the Assembly, he said that the people would not forget that CAVAIGNAC and LEDRU ROLLIN had endeavoured to prove that they each took the promptest and most energetic measures to repress what they called the insurrection, and cause the blood of their brethren and children to flow. He concluded by expressing regret, and blaming the duel between PROUDHON and PYAT. There were about 800 per sons present. The second banquet was held at Sevres. MM. LEDRU ROLLIN, PROUDION j and FELIX PYAT were present. M. LEDRU ROLLIN urged the necessity of carrying out the revolution to its full consequences, and proposed that, instead of calling themselves by different names, all those who agreed with him in opinion on that point should call themselves Revolutionists. A third banquet was held at the Barriere du Maine, and was attended by 1,800 persons of both sexes. The delegates of the Socialist democrats in Paris have declared in favour of LEDRU ROLLIN as candi date for the Presidency of the Republic. The seamen on board the ships forming the French squadron at Naples, consisting of two ships of the line and three steam-frigates, have given their votes for the President. Of the number, 620 have been given for General CAVAIGNAC, 303 for Louis Narol.EoN, and 361 for M. ARAGO. The latter gen tleman, it will be remembered, was Minister of the Marine under the Provisional Government. M. LITCIEN BONAPARTE has been elected Deputy to the National Assembly for Ajaccio. Upwards of 2,000 of the National Guards of the 7th Legion, headed by their Colonel, waited on Gene ral CAVAIGNAC on Sunday and presented to him the following address : " Citizen Chief of the Executive Power,--As organ of the feelings of the 7th Legion, I come as the bearer of the expression of its fraternal sympathies, and at the same time of its adhesion to the sentiments of the Na tional Assembly, so well expressed by the venerable Dupont (de l'Eure) in the sitting of the 25th ult., when the Assembly agai❑ proclaimed before France and the whole world that in the events of June, 1848, General Eugene Cavaignac had deserved well of his country." The General, whose appearance was welcomed by a unanimous cry of " Vivo Cavaignac," made the following reply:— " Monsieur le Colonel and dear fellow-citizens of the 7th Lee ion—l thank you for this effusion of your feel ings towards me. On a recent occasion, when I had to thank my fellow-citizens of other legions for similar de monstrations, I told them that however good my cause might bc, I had found in the declaration of the National Assembly sufficient recompense and encouragement. Yes, it is an encouragement to every good citizen to be able. to say to himself, that where he acts with right loyalty and justice, public feeling is always sure to go with him. Yes, every man unjustly attacked for his acts may be certain to find, ou the day when he shall justify himself, an echo in the country and in the hearts of his fellow-citizens.—(Loud acclamations.) I repeat, I thank you for this manifestation. But however precious such a testimony may be to me, it adds nothing, and can add nothing, to my complete and absolute devotedness to the nation and to the Republic. "It is certainly a sweet recompense—but once more I say that devotedness is and will remain absolute Gnd proof against every trial. Vive la Republique." This cry ;was repeated with enthusiasm by all pre sent, mingled with that of " Vive Cavaignac." M. CLEMENT THOMAS has published a letter stating that, having exercised the command of the National Guard on June 23d, until obliged to withdraw from it on account of being wounded, he thinks it right to declare that the orders which he gave were not inde pendent of the plan of General CsvetriaLac, and hence that the plan of defence against the insurrection did not exclude the National Guard. An electional committee, composed of delegates chosen in thirty electoral sections of the third arron dissement, sat on Saturday to discuss the claims of the different candidates for the Presidency of the Re public. The number of delegates present was 89. The votes were as follows :—For General CAVAIGNAC, 75 ; LEDRU ROLLIN, 6 ; LOUIS BONAPARTE, 5 blank votes, 3. The Gazette des Tribunauz says—" The Prefect of Police has given very severe orders in consequence of certain rumours which have been current respecting clandestine depots of arms and ammunition. A rigorous surveillance is exercised in several quarters of Paris, which have been particularly signalised to the authorities." In the course of the sitting of the National As sembly yesterday, General CAVAIGNAC made the fol lowing communication : " We have already had the honour of informing you that we have received a telegraphic dispatch, from which it appeared that the Pope had left Rome in the night, between the 24th and 25th, for Gaeta, and that the illikiare had left Civita Vecchia, under the order of our ambassador at Rome, to go to Gaeta. That dispatch also indicated on the part of the Pope the intention of coming to France. I wish now to give an account to the Assembly of what has happened since. I remind the Assembly that, in the course of the 28th, orders were given by telegraph for the collection of troops at Marseilles. These orders did not reach Marseilles till the evening of the 29th. It was only on the 29th that M. de Corcelles left Paris. He reached Marseilles on the 30th. On the 2d of December a dispatch reached Mar seilles from our Ambassador at Naples, announcing to us the arrival of the Pope at Gaeta, and the departure of the King of Naples to meet him in that port. On this news, which gave him the certainty of the presence of the Pope at Gaiita, M. de Corcelles started from Mar seilles for Gaeta, in order that ho might, as soon as possible, place himself in communication with the Pope. On the night of the 2d, M. de Corcelles had a'ready started, and the troops were still in the port of Mar seilles. We have dispatches of the $d December, which state that they are still moored in the roads. As soon as the Government learnt that the Pope was no longer threatened in his person, it understood that the departure of the troops had become useless. It had already sent a telegraphic dispatch to M. de Corcelles to prevent all misunderstanding. That dispatch set forth the conduct which he was to pursue, according to circumstances. A dispatch, by which we ordered the troops not to start, could not be dispatched till this morning." Ho closed by remark ing that these different delays were occasioned by the state of the weather. Some of the dispatches sent by telegraph had only reached the Government by post. He concluded with the following words:—" I now re sume the present position of things. It is certain that the Pope left Rome on the night of the 24th to the 25th. Itjis also certain that he arrived at Gaeta in the course of the following day, and that he has been there ,joined by the King of Naples. We also know that M. d'Har court, who left'Rome on the same day, has taken the Tenare from Civita Vecchia to carry him to GaZita. Be sides this, we know that M. de Corcelles has started from Marseilles, to join the Pope at Gaeta, and that an aviso has also sailed from that port for the same port. We hare no later news." vessels in the most capricious, vexatious, and annoy ing manner. The small-pox is raging fearfully in Lisbon. GERAIANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. In the course of the sitting of the Diet at Krem sier on the 27th, M. RIEGER rose, and accused the Deputies who had remained at Vienna of high treason. He made some remarks on the subject of the recent martial executions at Vienna, and highly lauded the Bann JELLACHICH. M. SCHIJSELILA said that he considered it due to his dignity, and that of his colleagues, to reply to the speech of M. RIEGER, which was nothing more than a denunciation ; that the Members who continued to sit at Vienna from the 6th to the 3I st of October were ready to answer for all they had done ; and that for his own part he would not hesitate at any moment to submit to the court•martial of Prince WINDISCUGRATZ. After Prince SCHWARTZENBURG had read the programme of the Ministry (which appeared in The Sun of yesterday), M. SCHUSELRA obtained leave to put some questions to the Ministry ; he commenced by expressing his thanks for the programme in general, but added that, fur the interests of the mo narchy, he should put the following questions : " 1. Does the Ministry take upon itself the respon sibility for all that is at this moment done at Vienna, at Limberg, and what may be done in Hungary; or will Austria continue under military despotism ? " 2. Is sanguinary justice to continue at Vienna?" M. SCHUSELKA then, turning to the Minister BACH, added, may it not do for Vienna what it has done for P ‘ rague ? "3. What position does the Ministry intend to as sume in the melancholy affair of ROBERT BLUM, in regard to the Frankfort Parliament, and the people of Germany ?" He set aside the innocence or the culpability of Br.uiu, and considered the case in a merely political point of view. The President requested that these questions should be given him in writing, promising to give a reply, with a detail of the motives. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist December says that the Government intends to impeach 12 of the Deputies, and among them President SMOLKA. PRUSSIA. The Prussian National Assembly was adjourned on the Ist December to the Thursday following. The meetings and conferences of ;he Deputies of the Opposition being prohibited by the military, they have resolved to hold them at Brandenburg, in order to be beyond the state of siege. The garrison of the city had been reinforced by a battalion of the Landwehr of Pomerania. It was generally believed that the consequence of the hostile spirit manifested at the last sitting of the Chamber, by the Opposition, would be a dissolution. BERLIN, DEC. 4.—The Prussian Stoats Anzieger of this date contains an address from the members of the Right and Right Centre of the National Assem bly, assembled at Brandenburg, to the inhabitants of Prussia. It is as follows : " TO THE COUNTRY. " Once before on these eventful times we have ad dressed ourselves to you, inhabitants of the kingdom of Prussia. You have received our word willingly, and the result has justified you in confiding in us; now, also, confidence and union alone can serve the country. " That portion of the National Assembly which opposed the transfer to Brandenburg, commanded by necessity, continue to sit for a time, regardless of the division and confusion which it thereby created in the country ; it finally decreed the refusal o f taxes, and thus combined avarice with the political question. " The nation has replied to this equally ignoble and illegal measure: as became a nation having re spect for the laws and political order ;. it has con tinued loyal to its King, so worthy of the honour which has always distinguished his reign. " We, the other Deputies, by reason of the sum mons contained in the Royal message of prorogation, have assembled here, at Brandenburg, on the 27th November. We came hither in the hope that the days which had elapsed would have calmed passion, and induced a deviation from the path entered upon. We cherished the conviction that the voice of the country, that the abyss to the very brink of which their precipitate steps had . brought the count r y, would have recalled conviction; we thought it possible that all of us profiting by the les sons of the past, invigorated to fresh union by dangers overcome, would speedily terminate the framing of the Constitution, thereby satisfying the long expectations of the waiting people, and by the consolidation of our new position, bring back order, and confidence, whereby the copious streams of our country would again flow freely, and soon shed a yet higher blessing than hitherto on the burgher and the peasant, on the labourer and the artisan,. on trade and com merce, on the arts and sciences, and every benevolent institution. In short, that it would spread a blessing on every one, whereby our country, which stood forth so great and so glorious, might stand so still. " The way hereunto was made plain to the other party. The decision of the National Parliament of Frankfort, the sentence of the universities and of the high courts of justice, addresses with numerous signatures, have declared for the rights of the Crown, and the power of events has sided with them. "Any of the other party that was not satisfied with this might have reserved his right respecting a view of the past by . a public declaration, and then unreservedly join the National Assembly at the point at which it was prorogued on the 9th, and re-opened on the 27th of November. For the -.veal of the country proceeds ; it d oes no t re t rogra d e . This, according to the testimony of history, has been the mode of procedure in innumerable cases. Thus will those always act who aim at the welfare of the country." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, consisting of about 3,500 Ameri can; 1001 4 3g-yetian realised 51 4 -d.; 400 Surat 24c1. to 31(1.; and 40 Seta Islands at Bd. to 141. per lb.

The mail; from Germany does not bring any alteration in the rate of exchange on London, which continued at 13 9. Mousey was easy, and a fair business was doing in stocks and shares. The couaraencement of the provision business in the United States is always an important time for the largo number of - persons interested, on both sides of the At lantic, and. as this branch is likely to receive great ex • tension annually, the following notices of the prepara tions making for the ensuing season will be interesting. The Buffalo Advertiser states that " packing opera tions of ,b,sef and pork have been commenced in the towns wiatre they are usually pursued, on the north western Irk es, on the upper Mississippi, on the Ohio, on the Cum bisrland, the Illinois, '&c. The prepara tions gerasrally, so far as we observe, have been semis' with a view to a large business; still the common impression seems to be that there will be a good deal less provision packing done this year than was done last. This will depend very much, however, we suppose, upon the prices paid; for the country is. understood to be full enough of both hogs and cattle, .and if good prices are held out early in the season, as ma inducement for drovers to make contracts, they will do übtless be brought in." The Cincinnati Gazi(te says of the business there and elsewhere --" Iu this city the business will be active so ene weather shall become a little colder, and finally, harge. To the present time about 8,500 head of hogs .rave been slaughtered, and about 2,000 head of cattle. The current prices of the former are about ;3 dolls. 15c. to 3 dolls. 25c., and of the latter 3 dolls to 4 dolls 24e. In Louisville operations com menced the first part of this week, and about 1,500 head of hogs were slaughtered by two establitdimehts the first, second, and third days ; the last quotation published is 3 dulls. 25c. per 1001bs. net, but buyers were unwilling to meet these igures for any further lots." The St. Louis Republican, of the 4th instant, has the following aotice of the commencement of operations in that city :- -" Yesterday, the first cutting of hogs for packing war; made. At the pock-house of the Sigersons between 91) and 100 heads were received and cut, and their purchases for two or three days past have amour, ted to 400 or 500 head, and at a range of 2 dolls. 50c. to 3 dolls., according to size and condition. They hare also purchased, and are now engaged in cutting an 6 packing 160 head of very fine cattle, for which they contracted to pay 3 dolls. 25c. per 100Ibs. net. At nee esimblishment ot the Messrs. Ames, quite an active business is going on in this line. During the past week. they have purchased between 250 to 300 head, ranging in price from 3 dolls. to 8 dolls. 50e. At the new and; extensive packing house of Clarkson and Motgan, we found rather more doing than could have been expected at the commence ment. On Thursday they commenced operations and during the day cut 244 head of hogs. Yesterday they were employed with a lot of 500, which, it was supposed,, 'would be completed, and ready for the barrels before night. " At this early day it is almost impossible to speak, with any degree of certainty, in regard to the price de• mended, or the number that will be slaughtered and put up during the present winter ; but we are assured that the most .extensive preparations have been entered into, and, without doubt, better and greater facilities are now offered to the farmer ,drover, and speculator, than have ever been .known during any previous season since the commencement of the business in this city. " We hoar that there are already orders in the market for between 25,000 and 30,000 head, but the limits to which purchasers, as it is supposed, will confine them selves at present will be dollars 2.50 to dollars 2.75, turning on 200 pounds; in fact there appears to be a general disinclination on the part of purchasers to ex ceed thew figures, and it is confidently asserted by many that dollars 2.75 will be the outside range for all large contracts for packing purposes." The Money Market is looking well again today, although, as usual after a rise, there has been a slight change in the Funds. Yester day aftevnoon the Bears commenced buying in their accounts, and this with the stimulus of money pur chases cat sed a rise from 871 to 88 and 881. For some days past it has been apparent that opinion ran in favour of higher prices, and that the speculators for a fall, anticipating that the elections might go in favour of General Cavaienac, and that the great influx of specie wi th the favorable Bank returns would induce money purchases were endeavouring to hedge off. Hence recourse was had to " puts," and operations for a rise were entered into. Present appearances are certainly favourable, but whether any unexpected contingencies will arise it is impossible to say. Consols opened to-day at 881 4, being done at the highest quotations; but upon the Chancery broker and one or two other parties appearing as sellers, a reaction has occurred to 874 4. Bank Stock is firm at 190. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 86 -I. Exchequer-bills (June) have been 38s. to 41s. premium. The Foreign Securities have been wholly neglected. Mexican have been done at 204. Belgian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. are 704 to 71. Spanish Three per Cents. are about 244 to 25. Railway Shares have been very firm, and although the business done is not extensive, higher prices have been 'obtained for North-Western, Eastern Counties, South-Eastern, the York and other lines.

Scarcely any Foreign vVbeac has come to hand this week. Really fine parcels ; were in moderate request, at full rates of currency. The middling and interior kinds were almost nominal in value. The supply of Barley was small. Most descrip tions moved off steadily, and late prices were firmly sup' ported. We had a very slow inquiry for Malt. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. Most kinds of Oats, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly at late rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were much neglected, yet we cannot quo t e them cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

A letter from Berne, of the 30th ult., says : " Before separating, the Federal Assembly passed a decree of great utility, by which the administration of the post-office is to be centralised for the whole of Switzerland from January 1, 1849. The grand Council of Neuchatel having ratified the measures determined on by the five cantons composing the dio cese of Lausanne, for the exclusion of M. ETIENNE MARILLET from that Episcopal see, and for the re organization of the Bishopric, the doors of the châ teau of Chillon were opened to the captive prelate, who, it is said, proceeded to Ger, where an apart ment has been for some time engaged for him." ITALY. The POPE is at Gaeta. His Holiness will not visit France until after the election for President is over, as he has no desire to place himself at the dis cretion of a BONAPARTE, after having been expelled from Rome by the Princes of Canino and Borghese. His: Holiness effected his escape from the Quirinal by concealing himself in a baggage-van. The Naples journals give the following a s the reply of the Poin to the Diplomatic Corps, guaran teeing its exactitude : " I am, gentlemen, guarded a vue. My own guard has been taken from me, and replaced by strangers. My rule of conduct in these circumstances, in which I find myself without succour, is to avoid at every price the effusion of Roman blood. I make everything yield to that principle ; but know, gentlemen, and make all Europe aware of it, that I refuse to take any part what ever, even nominally, in the acts of the new Govern ment, which is altogether a stranger to me. I have for bidden that :my name shall be employed, or that the usual forms shall be used for the public acts." Mr. TIMPLE, the English Minister to the Court of Naples, has arrived at Rome. He is the bearer of the, ultimatum of France and England in relation to the disputes between Naples and Sicily. It is said that the Romans intend to proclaim a republic, with the Prince DE CANINO as President. DETENTION OF THE MAIL.—FLOODS ON THE RAIL► WAY.—Tho mail from the south, which should have arrived in Edinburgh early yesterday morning, did not reach the General Post-office until about two o'clock in the afternoon; and the London mail due at two o'clock, did not come into Edinburgh until nearly four. The delay, we understand, was occasioned by floods, which have carried away two bridges, one near Leamington, the other near Crawford, besides nearly filling up one of the cuttings on the line of the Caledonian Railway, with the earth swept on the line by the floods. The country all around is under water. The railway company have made prompt arrangements for clearing the line and keeping open the course for passengers, so that the de tention for the present will not be great, and it may be expected to be altogether removed in a day or two. — Edinburgh Advertiser.

The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in the Old ,liall, Lin' coin's Inn. WOOD V. woop. The further arguments in this appeal occupied hi s Lordship the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) TULK V. MOZIIAT. The arguments in this part-heard motion were v a sumed this morning, and occupied his Loirdship Master of the Rolls the greater part of the day. The case came before the Court yesterday, upti' motion to dissolve an i n j unc ti on , w hi c h * as giantriti , October last, to prevent Edward Mothay from iiiiitrar ing the iron railings round Leicester-square, andisP ° to restrain him from doing any ac t t o d estro y t h e Ord" as a pleasure ground, and also from cutting doff* $1 1 •• trees, and building upon the ground. It appeared that in 1808 the site of the square woe conveyed by Charles Augustus Tulk to Charles Elms, consideration of a sum of 2101., and the deed contatl3 o6 a covenant by Mr. Elms, for himself and his heirs. W keep the garden in its then form, and to allow the ham bitants, upon their paying for keys, to use the garden: No keys had been applied for during a great number of years, and the square had not been used as a pleasure' ground. It was also overrun with weeds, and the rail' ings were broken. The piece of land, in the meantime, had passed through several hands, and was purchased in August, 1848, by Edward Moxhay, the present owner, for 4151.
