Fratirnity, as the symbol of social government, has Latterly been a derision, and a scoff, and a hissing to the Conservative gentlemen of England, who swear by the policy of Prince METTERNICH. Equality and liillert,y may pass current, but Fraternity I—it is a bye-word, at the very utterance of which the retro grade party shoot out their tongues in mockery. And yet the principle of fraternity is a principle most strong* inculcated by the Christian religion : it is the practical dewloptnent of the ethics nurtured into life at Naalregth : It is the fulfilment of the ereed which has been gradkr4lly developing its riches and its glory during eighteen successive centuries. It is this which, in defiance of the sarcasms of the lovers of absolutism, is perceptibly conducting the nations of the earth to a better sense of their common fellowship and a firmer compact of teacqdillity. The gibes of the disappointed men who see their idols crumbling away before them—the obligirchy of 'Vienna and the Royal bourgeoisie of Neuillsr--the sneers of the Tory journalism which has degenerated into the panegyrist of the exiled states men of Brompton, may be cast forth abundantly against the onward movement of the people ; but in spite of every obstacle that movement will con tine uninterruptedly, for it is as irresistible in its vigdur as it has recently been astounding in its de monstration. -Within the last fortnight the streets and public edi fices of this metropolis have been crowded by visitors of a very foreign and picturesque appearance. Those wl3o were unacquainted with the costume, the blue militarc , surtout, the dapper schako, the sword-belts, and the scarlet shoulder-knots, —learnt from the newspapers that these vi_ i it cyr . 3 were part of a very numerous detach t of the National Guards of Paris, and that th• el- t iopt of their arrival in London was to cultivate sentiments of goodwill and friendship between themselves and the English populace. The journey bad a nobler object than the evanescent gratification derivable from a pleasure excursion. The tradesmen of Paris had crossed the channel to mingle with the inhabitants of London ; and at the seine time that they made a pilgrimage of curiosity to structures consecrated by the associations of history and an tiquity, they were solichous to extend the hand of good-fellowship to their brother men of the United Kingdoms. .With this gener ous i ntent i on they came, mad with a l d ndre feeling of affection they were re- F.pr several days past they have participated Ah the English in all the amusements which are affostled by this capital and its suburbs. They have jogged amongst us on the pavements of the Strand and PiccadMly ; they have clambered to the roof s of our omnibuses, and feasted in the coffee roome of our hotels ; they have crowded the decks of our river steam-boats, and seated themselves in the boxes of our theatres. In all direotions their gay attire and bearded faces have been encountered ; in the architectural pomps of the Abbey at Westminster; in the open space of a Trafalgar -sq uare , gaz i ng up at t h e half-finished ) monument of our English Napoleon ; under the arches of the Thames Tunnel ; on the summit of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral ; at the. New Houses of Parliament ; at the Colosseum, at Somerset House, at the Tower, at Kew Gardens, at Buckingham Palace, at the Deptford Dockyard, at the Woalwich Arsenal, at Twickenham, at Isleworth, and onwards, until some of the most adventurous stragglers wan dered with feelings of peculiar interest about the secluded purlieus of Claremont. In every instance where the authorities were afforded the opportunity of displaying anything like a graceful compliment, a cordial welcome, or a conspicuous attention to the Parisians, that opportunity was not neglected. From the ecclesiastical authorities of Westminster, from the barristers in our courts of law, from the civic firm- . tionaries at the Mansion-house, the National Guards received especial marks of interest, and not only here but at the Horse Guards, where many of the French men were invited to the mess breakfast. If we ex cept the insolence of a few cabmen, the adroitness of a swell-mob's man, who pilfered fifty pounds from the packet of one of the Parisians, and the disgraceful act of dishonesty perpetrated towards another Na tional Guard by a Grenadier, who is now suffering the punishment of one month's imprisonment, and will at the end of that interval of incarceration be drummed out of his regiment as a thief—scarcely a single annoyance of the most casual character has damped the satisfaction of our visitors. Most of them have already returned to the French capital—their farewell shouts of " Vivo Linglais ! rive r Angle terre !" being responded to by cries of " Long live the National Guard of Paris I" The departure has, if possible, been even more cordial and propitious than the arrival. At this precise moment, when everybody is in good humour at the incident, when mutual felicitations are being exchanged by the citizens of the two countries, the organ of retrogression, of Guizotism, of everything that is the worst and the meanest in the Metternichian policy, strives to excite ill-blood by certain ill-timed and imbecile jokes, and to drop a few drops of poison into the stirrup-cup from the nib of a goosequill. We know not by what epithet to desig nate this paltry and most ungraceful proceeding—a proceeding as paltry as it is fortunately harmless, and as ungraceful as it is vindictive. The National Guard of Paris are ridiculed as shopkeepers. The origin of the aristocratic sneer is obvious. It is as obvious as the sneer itself is absurd, when coming from one of the organs of a nation called by the greatest of all French men " a nation of shopkeepers." The martial appearance of the Parisian tradesmen is derided because of their avocations. Their stature, their moustachios, their carriage, are each in turn spoken of as something ludicrous. Now we should like to know amazingly if the moderately-sized bourgeosie are less worthy of respect than the stunted scions of our aristocracy, who, with the form of dwarfs and the minds of infants, command the stalwart and glorious regiments of our Horse Guards. Is it less honour able to handle the scales or the yard measure than to finger the cue or the dice-box ? Perhaps the reverie provoked by these very simple propositions may induce the aristocratic quid nunc to remember his ungenerous sneers at the Na tional Guard with some feeling of compunction. To ourselves the National Guard, who have fought in defence of order and property on the summit of the barricades, have more of the dignity, because they have seen more of the service, of soldiers than any of our drawing-room heroes—although the latter may have genealogical trees loftier than the cedars of Lebanon, while the former may have the impudence never to have had any grandfathers. At length the tide has turned with respect to rail way property. A marked improvement was per ceptible yesterday in the stock of the leading com panies. All the dividend-paying lines were quoted at a considerable advance, and there is no doubt, if the shareholders are only true to themselves, that confidence will be fully restored, and that shares will speedily arrive at something like their real value, very far indeed beyond the present prises. Aa may easily be imagined, the " Bears" are outrageous at the change, and there is little doubt that they will spare no exertions, and leave no means untried, to con summate the ruin they had so nearly occasioned. Actual bona fide shareholders should therefore be particularly on their guard, and give no credence to rumours which are not corro borated by the most unquestionable authority. They have to deal with bold and unscrupulous par ties, who will have little hesitation as to the means by which their objects may be attained, and who will readily sacrifice a portion of their ill-gotten gains in order to keep the game alive for some time longer. There is, however, no real danger. All that is re quired is a bold and steady resistance, and victory must be attained. A day of retribution will shortly arrive, when the "Bears" will sink into the pitfalls which they themselves excavated for the destruction of their neighbours. It is for the shareholders to say how speedily that day—creta notanda—shall arrive. If they hold on steadily and firmly, through good report and through evil report, and ridicule the weak inventions of their mortal enemies, it will come before another month has expired. Any exhibition of weakness on their part will, however, protract the struggle, and may perhaps enable their assailants to retain some portion of the enormous profits they have realised. Railway proprietors should co-operate cordially together, and render mutual assistance in this the crisis of their fate—the strong should support the weak, and a fund should be pro vided from which advances would be made to those requiring such assistance, and who would otherwise be compelled to dispose of their shares in the market for whatever they might bring, and thereby occasion a great depreciation in all the other stock of the :Company to which they be longed. It is owing in a great degree to the total ab sence of such accommonation that the fearful and unaccountable depression we hare witnessed may be attributed. Persons suffering under a temporary pressure had deposited shares as securities for certain advances, giv ing a power of sale to the lenders in the event of the money not being returned by a particular day. Those persons, who took care to leave a margin sufficiently wide to protect themselves from the possibility of any loss, and who had no consideration for the interests o the unfortunate borrower, or of the rail way pro. prietors, flung the shares on the market at the exp ration of the appointed time', and thus the mischief originated. :A large amount of property being offered for unreserved sale naturally depressed prices. Others took alarm ; capitalists were deterred from purchasing until the termination of the excitement and panic that ensued ; sales were forced' et any loss, The "Bears" laboured diligently in their vocation, and fabricated reports to account for the depreciation. A vague terror was excited, and men who would gladly have invested their money at the rate of 5 to 6 per cent., refused to do so when 7 or 8 per cent. could readily be obtained. Those who would have pur chased into the North-Western at 80 or 40 premium, and congratulated themselves on the bargain, ab stained from buying when the stock was but a little above par. So it was in every in stance, and while there were but few transfers, and little real business, fictitious sales were made, and nominal quotations to depreciate the property still further, the speculators for a continued fall hoping that it would find " In the lowest depth a deeper still." All these evils would have been avoided if the great interest which was thus seriously injured, and even placed in imminent danger of absolute ruin, hal taken the obvious precaution of establishing banks that would make reasonable advances on railway pro perty, _ and not press sales at an improper time, and thereby add to the panic. It would not even be necessary to open new banks, for if once announced that shareholders would stand together, and that tha wealthier members of the body would withdraw their account from every bank that joined in the disgusting cant of the day against railway property, and who refused legitimate accommodation to those interested therein, these gentlemen would speedily tee matters in a very different light, and exhibit greater liberality to their customers, even to those possessed of railway pro perty. We must now again congratulate the shareholders on the improved prospects opened to them. They must not, however, sink into apathy because a THE SUN, LONDON, change has taken place. To that change we are proud to think that w© have ourselves in some degree contributed, by exposing the machinations of the " Bears" and proving that the general depreciation was ascribable to their operatio;,s, and not to any real deterioration in the value of railway property, which had realised such large profits in a season of general distress and stagnation, and thereby afforded the strongest proof of the soundness and stability of the principal companies. The able and well- timed letter of Mr. HUDSON, to which we alluded yester- day, must also have had a very considerable effect in restoring confidence, indeed, the improvement was perceptible from the very moment of its publication, and Midland shares were particularly in request during the day, as well as the Eastern Counties, and other lines with which the Hon. Gentleman is con nected, and of whose favourable position he gave so cheering an assurance. The promised explanation of the London and North Western Company also had considerable efficacy . ; although it has not yet madelits appearance, and the details are not as yet known, it is believed that it will completely demolish the plausible statements that have been put forward, and show a state of affairs more favourable than its most sanguine friends could have hoped for. Its shares, accordingly, went up no less than from 5 to 7 per cent, and will, probably, rule at a much higher figure after the publication. Great Westerns also participated in the general amelioration, aad wcr e much sought for, while little stock is to be obtained for actual transfer—this fact proving most unequivo cally that the recent falls are nut in any great de gree owing to shareholders being anxious to dispose of their property, but rather to those who sold stock without having a single share in their possession. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur contains a decree signed by the chief of the Executive Government, accepting the resignation of M. Gown's Aux, and appointing M. TROUVE CHAUVEL, Minister of Finances, in his place. In the National Assembly on Wednesday the in terpellations addressed by M. GRANDIN to the Mini ster of the Interior, on the subject of the Socialist banquets, produced the good effect of eliciting from M. Dusesuite the most satisfactory assurances not only with regard to the intentions of the Govern ment, but also with regard to the state of the public mind. He at once admitted the right of the public to meet at those banquets as long as they were inno cent manifestations, but he also maintained the rights placed by law in the hands of the Government to suppress any which might become dangerous to public tranquillity. He added that he entertained no apprehensions from banquets such as those which bad been 'recently held in the Fau bourg du Roule, and at other places in the neighbourhood of Paris. With respect to the number present at the last social and democratic banquet, he declared that those who stated that there were 2,000 present, flattered themselves ; in point of fact, there were onlyl,loo, although 6,000 invitations had been sent out, and the tickets were at last sold at half price at the door. Besides this, it had been ascertained that it was always the same set of persons who attended the banquets and made a business of them. In these circumstances the public would soon discover of how very little importance such meetings were, and at all events the Government was prepared, in case of their becoming dangerous, to do its duty. The Hon. Minister then alluded to a paragraph which had recently appeared in some of the Paris papers, signed by M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE (the son of JEROME), stating that persons well informed had stated to M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE that an attempt at an outbreak in Paris was preparing in his name, and that M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE had considered it necessary to inform the Minister of the Interior of the subject, declaring, at the same time, that he knew nothing of such an attempt him self, and that he repudiated that and all other mea sures which might disturb the public peace. M. DUPAURE, in the most sarcastic manner imagin able, expressed his regret that M. Louis BONAPARTE had not thought proper to publish his (M. Du- Fauna's) answer to this communication which was " That those who had told him so were ill-informed, fur that there was not the slightest intention on the part of any one in the metropolis to get up an eaaeute in his name." Hereupon M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ascended :he tribune to justify his cousin's proceedings, and was replied to by M. CLEMENT THOMAS, who in an intemperate speech attacked the whole of the Bonaparte family, and accused Prince Louis NATO LEON of aiming at the imperial dignity under pre tence of being candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, and of having sent emissaries into the country to excite the ignorant peasantry to favour his pretensions. A violent scene of mutual recrimi.• nations between the Bonapartes and Al. CLEMENT Thomas followed, which was only put an end to by the Assembly passing to the order of the day. General LAMORICIERE introduced a Bill on Wed nesday, authorising the transportation to Algeria of those of the insurgents of June who had been con demned to deportation. It is said that the inhabitants of the colony of Senegal have elected M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN as their representative to the National Assembly. The Club of the Rue de Poitiers have determined, on the motion of Count MOLE, to support a proposition for the postponement of the election of President of the Republic until the month of January. The Ministers of the Interior and of Justice have addressed a circular on the subject of the democratic banquets, to the Prefects and Procureurs-Generaux. The banquets are not to be prevented, but no public functionary can attend them. The public must be admitted, and a commissary of police be present to take notes, which are to be reported to the local au thorities. Lord BROUGHAM has arrived in Paris. The clubs of the Palais National and of the In stitute have agreed to join the club of the Rue de Poitiers in supporting a proposition for the postpone ment of the election of President until the organic laws with respect to the responsibility of Ministers, with respect to elections, and with respect to the appointment and functions of judges, shall have passed. The club of the Palais National has, however, re solved to support an amendment of which M. LANG LET has given notice, and the object of which is, that a Provisional President should be nominated, who should retain the office till the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly. It is intended to propose the 24th February as the day for the election of President of the Republic. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday Prince Louis NAPOLEON ascended the tribune, and read from a paper a reply to th e accusat i ons brought against him in the previous sitting by Al. CLEMENT Thomas. He at once admitted that he was a candi • date for the office of President of the Republic. He declared that it was his right to be so, and he would not renounce that right, whatever provocations were addressed to him. This declar a ti on was listened to by the Assembly . with chilling silen ce . Th e die. c n e s: e i ono m n be r a t s h e the p d r ei ay ec tfoorf the decree, election of th e Presideni fixing th e 1 0t h o D of the Republic was then commenced. M. PAGNBRRE opposed the decree. Count Mot.' then rose, and declared that, in his opinion, the interests and the safety of the country required that the election should be postpon e d unt il after the passing of the organic laws.—(Ho was speaking when the post left). PARIS BOURSE—TEMA/3111AT, OCT. 25. THREZ O'CLOCIE.—Tbe Bourse opened to-day con siderably above yesterday's closing prices, and the Rentes continued to advance till twoo'clock, when the news was brought of the intention of the Assembly to rtjt.ct the decree fixing the election for the 10th of December, and they after that wive way rapidly.

The city is completely surrounded by troops, and it is rumoured that the Hungarians who were ad vancing to the relief of the city have retreated in consequence of the desertion of two of the Hungarian regiments of Hussars to WINDISCHGRATZ. The Allgereine OesterrichiBche Zeitung of the 19th instant says : " It was with universal indignation that we received the news that the Hungarians —notwithstanding all the fine phrases and notwithstanding all the accounts of out post fights, with which the Hungarian faction daily used to entertain the public—will not appear before Vienna. Fortunately we do not want the Magyars. History will sit in judgment over their conduct." The EMPEROR has issued the following manifesto, which has producad a great effect in Vienna: - MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR. " When the acts of violence committed in Vienna on the-6th of October compelled me to quit a city which had become the theatre of the most wild and degraded passions, I was still induced to hope that the rebellious infatuation of a portion of the population would not be of a continuance. I was led to expect from the usually sound judgment of the inhabitants of my capital and residentiary city, they would themselves exert all their energy to restore the honour of the law by the bringing of its transgressors to condign punishmeni, and to re store within the shortest possible time the endangered security of life and property to the city. " This expectation has been disappointed. Not only have the authors of the insurrection in Vienna succeeded in retaining the authority which they had forcibly as sumed by an act of horror which has but one parallel in history, and of commanding the city which was partly paralyzed by fear, and partly in a state of the wildest intoxication, and thereby prevented the return of legal order within the walls of Vienna—nay, even beyond the walls did the influence of their anarchical endeavours extend. " Treasonable connexions were formed with a neigh bouring province; to every part of my states emisFaries were sent, under the pretext of guarding endangered liberty, even were perfect order had prevailed, fur the purpose of there planting the standard of rebellion, and abandoning my hitherto peaceful country, which was anticipating the legal development of free institutions, to the horrors of civil war, of anarchy, and destruction. " Since my accession to the throne the weal of my people has been the object of my life. The history of my government, the history of the last seven months especially, will at some future day testify to this. "But I should be guilty of unfaithfulness to the sacred duties imposed upon me by Providence were I any longer to tolerate a course of procedure which hur ries the throne and the monarchy to the very brink of ruin, and is calculated, in place of the constitutional liberty accorded by me, to bring about a state of un baunded despotism. "Impressed with these duties, I am compelled, with a bleeding heart, to meet the rebellion which now shams lessly rears its head in my residentiary city, as well as in all other places wherever it may appear, to oppose it by force of arms, and to combat it till it shall have been completely quelled, arid tha murderers of my faithful servants the Counts Latnberg and Latour are given over to the avenging hand of justice. " For the attainment of this object, I send from divers parts of the monarchy my armies against Vienna, the seat of the insurrection, and by these presents commit to my Field-Marshal Prince Windischgratz the command of all the troops throughout tha whole extent of my do minions, with the sole exception of the Italian army, under the command of my Field-Marshal Count Ra detzky. " At the same time, I give the Prince the full requi site powers, in orde r that peace may be restored, ac cording to his own judgment, within theshortest possible time. " After subduing the armed rioters and restoring peace, it will be the task of my Ministers, in unison with the members of the Constituent Diet, to bring about, by legal regulations respecting the hitherto licentiously abused press, the right of association and popular armament, a state of things which, without in fringing liberty, shall secure authority and respect of the laws. " Whilst in the full consciousness of my duties and my rights, I hereby make known to my people these my unalterable fixed resolutions. I depend upon the sin cere and energetic support of all those who have the weal of their Emperor, of their country, of their families, and of true liberty at heart, that they will recognize in these my present resolutions the only remedy of securing the monarchy from dismemberment and themselves from the horrors ofanarchy and the rupture of all social bonds. " FERDINAND. (Countersigned) " WESSEMBERG. " Olmutz, Oct. 16, 1848." A telegraphic dispatch, addressed by Prince ,WIN DISCHGRATZ to the Major-General PREBOU, orders him to treat the National Guards in the same manner as those of Bielitz ; the officers to be sent to Olmutz, and the soldiers disarmed and sent to their homes. The Cologne Gazette, under date Oct. 21, ten A. 11., says the Prince WINDISCHGRATZ has taken possession of the island of Lobau, with 2,600 men. Provisions are becoming very scarce in Vienna. The Com mander-in Chief announced in the Communal Council that he was not able to protect the whole extent of the city with the men at his disposition, unless he was allowed to take the offensive in case of need. Neither the Council nor the Diet would undertake the re , sponsibility of authorising such a proceeding. The Austrian Lloyd's of the 19th announces that the two imperial Commissioners, MM. %VRLCKER and MoSLE, had arrived from Frankfort. The Ber liner Zeitungshalle informs us that those gentlemen did not stay at Vienna, but set out immediately for Olmutz. The two Commissioners issued a declaration, dated Passau, 19th inst., in which they profess that their mission is one of peace and reconciliation. They deny that Prussia, Bavaria, or other German troops, have received orders to march into Austria. Their proclamation is wound up by the following wishes : " Hail to Austria, and to the glorious house of her Emperors! Hail to Vienna! Our most ardent wish is that Austria and Vienna may as speedily as possible combine prosperity and merry enjoyment of li'e with constitutional liberty, unlimited but lawful, and practised with manly maturity, as it is existing among the free English, and in their flourishing capital." The latest accounts from Vienna have come via Berlin. A letter from that city, dated Oct. 23, con tains the following " On the evening of the 21st inst. Vienna was being , plundered by the rabble of tho population. The Hun garian cavalry had gone o ve r t o A uers per t r. The Reich stag was not allowed t o assem bl e , an d tke members the Right had placed th emse l ves un d er the protection of ' the diplomatic corps." A letter from Innspruck of the 16th inst. states, ;hat some companies of iitiemen, which had marched towards Vienna to support the EMPEROR, had re turned in consequence of an insurrection which was ready to break out in Southern Tyrol,. the result of :he events in Vienna. PRUSSIA. Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the 23d, On the 22d the Posen question was debat< d in the Assembly, and was decided, after a stormy dis cussion, in favour of the non-separation of the Grand Duchy into a Polish and a German part, and conse quently in favour of its no n-annexation to the German Confederation, by a majority of 7. The Commander of the Burgher Guard has issued another proclamation, in which he states that he en tertains a firm confidence that a reconciliation be• tween the Burgher Guard and the workmen will be effected soon, and that he trusts no further disturb ances of public quiet will take place. The admonition addressed to the workmen in this proclamation is very warmly expressed, and shows that, nevertheless, strong apprehensions are entertained that another col- lision between the Burgher Guard and the workmen might mile. These apprehensions are by no means unfounded if it is considered that much excitement still prevails among the workmen. HUNGARY. The Hungarian Diet has issued the following decree, dated Oct. 10, 1848, on the subject of the Hungarian troops in foreign coubtries : " Our dear, bleeding country, reckoning, in its su preme struggle ,for its safety and existence, upon the patriotic assistance of its children, the National Assem bly decrees and orders, in the name of the country:— " All the Hungarian soldiers stationed in Italy, in Bohemia, in Moravia, and in Gallicia, or in any other foreign country, shall return to their native country, to take part in its defence of its constitutional liberty, legally sanctioned by the royal oath. Confiding in its certain hope the Hungarian nation counts upon the brave Hungarian soldiers surmounting every obstacle, even to cutting their way by arms, to fly to the succour of their'friends and their brethren. The Hungarian nation, proud that her children have driven the rebel Jellachich from her soil, waits with open arms her brave children returning from abroad, and invites them to a hare in the glory and gratitude of the country. " PAUL ASMASY, " Vice-President of the National Assembly. " JEAN LUDVIGLI, Secr6tary." The following is from a letter, dated Pestb, Oc tober l7:— " News has just reached us that the Hungarians have seized the fortresses of Leopoldstadt and Mun gatz. The revolt of the Valaques in Transylvania has been put down by the Tscheches. URBAN has fled, and three Noblemen and a Bishop have been hung. The rebel RAETZES has been defeated near Neubesec. " KOSSUTLI will depart to-morrow for the army, with a powerful landsturm as a reserve. General Stmo- WIT; who had come from Gallicia, is fled, and more than half his army were slain by the peasants." WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. The Wiener Zeitung publishes the following, from the Danubian principalities, under the date of the 14th Oct.:— The army of occupation sent by the CZAR amounts to 40,000 ♦eteran troops, the greater number of whom have served in the Caucasian war. The artillery amounts to 80 pieces of cannon. The horses of this corps darmee are excellent, the train very considerable. The Russians are alSo furnished with pontons and every requisite for the construction of bridges. Two thousand Turkish troops, stationed at 'brans have been ordered to Bucharest. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE.---In the Cholera Hospital at this place 44 patients have been received; of these 18 have died, three have recovered, and the remainder are still under treatment. AMSTERDAM, BOURSE, OCT. 24. —On Bourse to day, several transactions were concluded in Inland funds. Integrats maintained their price ; Spanish declining; Portuguese improving, with a good deal of business; Russian the same as yesterday; Aus trian, in conseqiience of improved advices from Vienna, closed with an improvement on the T wo-and a Half, Three-and-a-Quarter, and Five per Cents., one per cent. better than yesterday.

TURIN. The Chamber of Deputies at Turin decided on the 21st in favour of a motion for the prolongation of the armistice with Austria. The Central German Power has, it is said, proposed the following as a settlement of the Italian question :—That Lombardy should remain attached to the Imperial Crown of Austria, but that it might at the same time form part of the Italian Diet, which the King of SARDENIA wishes to create, in conjunction with the POPE and the Grand Duke of TUSCANY. In this way Lombardy would hold the same relation to Italy that the Duwhy of Luxembourg holds to Germany. It is considered as by no means improbable that the question may be arranged on this basis, indeed the Breslau Gazette states that news had been received that peace had been concluded with Italy, under the mediation of England and France, Lombardy !till to belong to Austria, but to have a separate corral tution and its nationality acknowledged. The G er man troops are to be withdrawn from Italy. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) PARIS, THURSDAY EVRNINO. At six o'clock the Assembly divided on the impor tant question of the election of President of - the Republic, when the following was the unexpected result :—Number of votes 819. In favour of the decree, 587; against it, 232; majority, 355; con se quently the election will take place on the 10th of December. The result excited the greatest surpris e. MONEY and COMA: MICIAL Nt, WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet, the demand being steady. Sales 3,000 bales.—Tho Rail way Share Market was decidedly better at the outport, prices having risen, and the demand being active. With very laudable promptitude, the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have forwarded, for the information of the creditors of Mexico, copies of correspondence received by the West India mail, and which are very satisfactory under circumstances. There is now some prospect of the payment of a dividend, and we may hope that adequate funds may shortly be in hand to overcome all scruple on the part of Messrs. Schneider and Co. as to the payment of half a dividend on account. The following are the letters refer' ed to:— (From Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh.) " Mexico, Sept. 12, 1848. " Sir,—Wo beg to hand you herewith duplicates of our last respects, since when we are deprived of 3 oar favours, the steamer with the mails of the Ist of August not having yet arrived. " We now beg to inform you that on the 2d instant we received from the Mexican Government, and for warded to Mr. Glass, of Tampico, for shipment by the present steamer, a bill for 22,400 dolls., being the 20 per cent, belonging to the bondholders, proceeding from the duties returned by the Americans in Tampico under the treaty of peace. "In addition to this amount you will receive from our Vera-Cruz house, we believe by this packet, a re mittance for the 20 per cent. of the duties, carried by the conducts of specie which lately left this for that port; and the united amount of these remittances we should think will exceed 50,000 dolls. "We shall have to remit also a further sum of $40,208 0 4, received from the Mexican Government, on account of the dividends, respecting which you will be duly advised. " As yet the Congress has not come to any decision as to what proportion of the twelve millions of Ameri can indemnity is to be appropriated to the dividends.— We remain, &c., (Signed) " MANNING AND MACKINTOSH. " G. R. Robinson, Esq." (From Messrs. Manning, Mackintosh, and Co.) " Vera Cruz, Sept. 19, 1640. " Gentlemen,—We hand you herewith copy of our last respects, and have now the pleasure to advise having shipped by the present opportunity $29,138 25 ; being the proportion due to the bondholders of duties actually recovered by this custom-house from the 11th of July to the 1 lth inst. " By an approximate calculation we find the duties upon vessels entered at this custom-house in July, amount to ... ... $lOB,OOO August, 200,000 which we mention for your government. " Remaining, &c., (Signed) "MANNING, MACKINTOSH, AND CO. " To the Chairman and Committee of Spanish American Bondholders." (From Mr. Glass.) "British Consulate, Tampico, Sept. 13, 1848. " Sir,—l beg to report for the information of the Mexican bondholders that I have some twenty odd thousand dollars ready for shipment, being twenty per cent. on the amount which was transferred trom the American to the Mexican customhouse at this port on the resumption of their authority ; but as the packet is not yet in, and if she arrive, may not remain long enough, I tear the shipment will not take place this month. " / have the honour, &c. (Signed) " J. W. GLASS, Consul. " G. R. Robinson, Esq., Chairman, &c." There are no colonial arrivals to-day, and the con tinental letters are uninteresting upon matters of busi ness, the representation generally being that the markets are inactive. Belgium progresses better than any of her neighbours. The mercantile news by the Overland Mail is, however, of really an encou raging nature, speaking relatively. Nothing could bet ter illustrate the importance, as well, as the elasticity, of the eastern markets than the fact of their partial recovery so soon from a state of extreme depression, and we are more than ever disposed to think that if trade were legitimately conducted with India, as it may be probably after the break down of the long credit taking firms, there would be much more profit derived from it to the advantage of both the Indian grower and the British artizan. The Produce Markets in London have this week been very heavy again, and there has been a decline in the value of several articles. The Public Securities have been buoyant this morn ing:, though at the hour of our writing there is a little reaction. Until later advices are received from Vienna, it is not probable that parties will operate boldly. Consols have been 85i I, and are now 85i i. Exchequer-bills of June have realised 395. to 425. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 84i to 85k, and the Three per Cents. Reduced 841 to 844. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish Three per Cents. have realised 22 to 22k, and Portu guese Four per Cents. 231. Mexican Bonds have been 20i to 201 i. Brazil Stock is at 72k. Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. are 44i to 441. Railway Shares have all advanced again, and look very strong, notwithstanding the predictions in many quarters that they will give way again.
