Morning .. 20 min. after 12 I Evening .. 45 min. after 12 ei2 anina Af LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1848. A melancholy catastrophe has just cast dismay among the scattered Members of Parliament. We allude of course to that occurrence which has been already recounted in our columns, the details of which occupied such a conspicuous position in our impression of Saturday evening. The news has, by this time, tra versed the United Kingdom, and is now spreading rapidly over the Continent. Long before these printed characters can meet the eye of the reader he will have known the particulars of the mournful in cident to which it bears reference ; he will have known that on Thursday last, the 21st of September, the dead body of WILLIAM GEORGE FR EDERICK CAVENDISIT, commonly called Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, the second son of the fourth Duke of PORTLAND, was discovered near a gate in Kennel Water Meadow, a meadow situ ated at a very little distance from his paternal residence, Welbeck Abbey. To describe such a calamity as this without uttering any remark what ever upon the noble personage who is deceased, would be foreign to our disposition, the more so inasmuch as we have never refrained, during his lifetime, from reprobating his extravagances as a politician, or his acerbity as an orator. We have spoken again and again upon the blunders of his Parliamentary career, we have criticised more than once the indecorous rage of his personalities, we have laughed at his follies, scouted his fallacies, and exposed his misrepresentations. But the shadow of the grave has suddenly gloomed over his head. The young and ambitious Leader of the Opposition has been stricken down by the hand of Death in the very flower and ripeness of his manhood. His voice is silent, his eyes are closed, and, after life's fitful fever, "he sleeps well." It is a beautiful thought of CAR LYLE that " the dead are always holy." It is a thought which has occurred to all of us before, but which TnoatA.s CARLYLE was the first to summon from the depths of his psychological philsophy and to present to us visibly in written language—one of those "jewels five words long" which TENN YSON has described as "sparkling for ever on the stretch'd forefinger of all Time." It is the thought which makes us tread lightly in the death-chamber, and impels us, no matter what may have been our animosities, our quarrels., or our alienation, to speak gently and even reverentially of the departed. There is no in consistency in all this ; for the cold breath of the Destroying Angel blows away all those mists of prejudice and clouds of passion which have hitherto risen up from the dusty struggles of the world. The presence of Death, like the Gorgon-face of MEDUSA, transfixes our passions and petri fies our prejudices. Our judgment in the very midst of its distortions, is, if one may so speak, trans figured into serenity. We are rapt upwards into a higher atmosphere —we are no longer contemporaries, we are posterity. It is with this consistent reverence that we would bid farewell to the departed, and breath a few sylla bles upon the memory of Lord G EORGE B ENTINCK. We do s o w i thet . we ackno w l e d ge as much at once — we do so with emotion, bscaus e th ere i s i n every circu ms t ance of his imse a sad ness , an abrupt ness, and a desolation, such as surprises even the most unsympathising heart into mpathy. But we lane sympathy for B EIVTINCK S O f r he was gallant ! He was gallant with the gallantarny o ec t h he old Crusaders. The voice of Chivalry found and though he betrayed much a the °na extravagance hi bm of ; n i e n e zml o y r t e en x- - the knight-errant, that very extravagance aggeration of daring, illustrated theg dencies of his nature, and proved that tendencies were in an eminent degree chivalr those He was the knight-errant of Protection. Ab7ns. cloned by all her ancient champions, derided, insulted, spat upon, the Spirit of Protection found in Lord G. BENTINCK a defender stout of heart, stron g of will, daring in enthusiasm, unconquerable in per severance. It was a strange thing—one of those thing s which will he recorded among the chief mar vels in the history of the House of Commons—to see a man who for twenty years had taken his seat al- • 4a. 1 ' 4-Fe. w 1 / 4 'ft • -.Ni • ~es_ g,- , • r • os - ' TIIE SUN', LON'DO most unnoticed among the silent Members of that au gust assemblage suddenly spring by a single bound among those who were in the most prominent position in the Legislature. It is a marvel which, with cer tain reservations of comparison, may be numbered with such facts as the precocity of PITT, or the venerable predominance of WALPOLE. True it was that Lord GEORGE BENTINCK had been in some small measure tutored into the knowledge of political science by becoming the secretary of CANNING, when little better than a stripling—true, also, that he he the opportunity of studying the art of Parliamentary oratory at his leisure during the twenty years of his obscure sojourn among the back benches of the Commons. But, apart from these slight inductions to an active career in the Philosophy of Administra tion, he was wholly without the usual helps towards the acquirement of celebrity. Without the appren ticeship of subordinate office, without practice as an oratorical gladiator, without either the inspiration of genius, or the incitement of a boyish ambition, Lord G. BENTINCK stood forth in the torments of a great crisis, he advanced in the agonies of an emergency, when his companions were panic-stricken and scat tered abroad in confusion; he raised the trumpet of old Conservatism to his lips, and blew a call which rallied round him the fragments of that almost anni hilated party ; he lifted again the old Tory banner which a moment before had been thrown down mid trampled into the mud ; he was no longer a cipher among the subordinate representatives—he Was the recognised leader of the Opposition. In all this there is something to our mind more than merely remark able. Opposed as we are, diametrically opposed as we are to- the cause of Monopoly, we do nevertheless say that in the mere daring of Lord GEORGE BEN.. TiNcK there was much to provoke us into admiration. If, moreover, we can (as we do) still find subject for the most severe reprehension in the monstrous accusations levelled against Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the calumnies against Lord GREY, and in those other personalities and arithmetical perversions which have cast disgrace upon the recollection of his three years of political emi nence—we must also remember with respect and re cord with eulogium the manly course adopted by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK in regard to the civil disabilities of the Jews, and the political contraction of the rights of the Catholics; we must honour him for the universal liberality of his religious sentiments, for the noble indignation with which he repulsed the advances of the Irish demagogues, for the courage of his bearing, the industry of his labours, the frank, bold, and robust valour of his masculine and impulsive character. These merits will be remembered when bis errors have faded into oblivion ; and the memory of his generous deeds and of his extrordinary career will only tend to cast an additional melancholy over the spectacle of his departure, over the incident of his premature and awful death, over the fact of the heart of the strong man ceasing to beat in the bloom of his years and in the freshness of his renown, and when walking alone among those pastoral scenes which had once been hallowed by the footsteps of his child hood. The fifth article of the new French Constitution is a perpetuation of one of the earliest and one of the most glorious acts of the Republic—the abolition of the punishment of death for political offences. No one can have forgotten the electric effect which that declaration of the young Republic produced through out all Christendom. More effectually than any elaborate proclamation of principles, the one brief sentence which recorded that sublime resolution de monstrated the character of the revolution, and elicited for it the warmest sympathies of mankind. Well, indeed, might M. LAMARTINE say that such an act was the fruit of Divine inspiration I The memory of the first French revolution will be for ever terrible from the blood by which it was incar nadined, but the revolution of February will be sanctified to all posterity by the remembrance of that act of grace. The fifth article of the new Constitu tion at once commemorates and perpetuates that act— " Art. 5. The punishment of death is abolished in political matters." When this article came under the consideration of the National Assembly it was regarded by many Members of the Assembly as affording a fitting opportunity for its extension. Several amendments were proposed, the most ex treme of which, that of M. COQUEREL, occasioned a very interesting debate. M. COQUEREL proposed to leave out the words "political matters," and the article would, therefore, be " the punishment of death is abolished." This amendment ex cited some very determined opposition, and necessarily so, for the advisibility of capital punishment is, without doubt, one of the most difficult and most perplexing questions which ever grieved the soul of the philanthropist or baffled the ingenuity of the politician. The very same ar guments may be adduced on either side. The same " economy of human blood," the same sentiment of mercy which would save the criminal would also pre serve the victim. The moralist, who regards with horror the cutting off the murderer in the blossom of his sins, is combated by other moralists, equally con scientious as himself, who regard it as a duty to pre vent the commission of future crimes by the execu tion of actual criminals. These contending opinions found advocates in the National Assembly. M. COQUEREL declared, in favour of his amendment, that capital punishment could not correct by exam ple, because it cut a man off from repentance ; but this is not a correct statement of the case on the part of M. COQUEREL ; for the benefit of the example is not supposed to be for the criminal himself, but for others tempted to commit similar crimes. In opposi tion to this, it was remarked by another Member of the Assembly, that " those men whose professional duties brought them in contact with the greatest cri minals would :_say that, amongst the most desperate, it was only the penalty of death which made them hesitate, and that the dread of any other punishment had no effect on them." This fact, if it be a fact, is most assuredly a powerful argument in favour of the retention of so efficient a preventive of crime. Viewed only in this light, the most philan thropic would, hardly hesitate to approve of capital punishments. They could not but consider it in finitely better for a few actual murderers to be put out of the world in order to prevent many from becoming murderers. Viewed in this light, and only in this light, scarcely a voice would be raised in favour of such propositions as that of Mr. EWART in the House of Commons, and M. COQUEREL in the National Assembly ; but it is impossible to view the matter in this light only. It is impossible to believe in the wonderful effects of the example of criminal execution, when we know, unhappily, with too much certitude, that crime is not repressed by such examples. We know, although the fact is hardly credible, that under the very gallows the pickpocket plies his trade with redoubled rather than with abated zeal. We know that the quondam companions of' the criminal witness his dying struggles, especially if he " die game," with sentiments of admiration and exul tation, very far removed from those feelings of com punction and horror likely to lead to beneficial effects. Every detailed account of an execution scene is a most emphatic and unanswerable argument against the continuation of punishment fraught with such pernicious effects. In considering this subject, we must confess that we are alternately swayed towards contending opinions ; and, at least, we concur with the sentiments of M. FRESLON, who, in the course of Friday's debate, expressed his opinion, that eventually, accordingly as civilization extends and advances, this punishment will disappear altoge ther. " But," he added, " I deny that the present moment is favourable for this purpose." With the spread of civilization capital punishments will inevit ably cease ; but, much as we desire the advent of the appropriate day, we are inclined to think that the day is not quite arrived. We are disposed to think M. COQUEREL'S amendment somewhat premature. Let the retentive check—as possibly, after all, it is a retentive check—be kept on a little longer, until the minds of men become better imbued with the sublime doctrines now happily making such a rapid spread over the face of Christendom. 'When civilization becomes yet m ore d eve l ope d, as it rap idl y w ill b ecome, rnos t glorious pro o f o f th a t d eve l o p men t w ill be the entir e a b rogat i on of the punishment of death. then the Nevertheless,if that day be not yet come, the very debate up on this subject, which t, took place in jthe Assembly, may be regarded as an evidence of the spread of civilization. Here, in the hour of revolu. tion, we find an interdict laid upon the effusion of human blood. And one of the first objects of a newly constituted Republican Assembly is to confirm that decree ; and one of the chief subjects of its solicitude is to extend yet fuether its merciful provisions. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The National has the following on General CAVAIGNAC'S explanation to the Assembly on Friday " The General's honest, firm, and brief speech left no handle to equivc que, no pretext to affected doubts or malevolent insinuations. He said—' As to what the Government is disposed to do with respect to new attempts at disorder, I declare that I have no need to answer. We have employed all, done all in face of disorder. There may remain something to be done, but asstiredly there remains nothing to risk. As to what is said of the flag of conciliation, that flag is oars. Yes. I believed it right to display the flag of conciliation, but remaining under the shade of the Republican fling. We placed ourselves on this ground, which is ours, and we said to all that we did not demand, that we had not the right to demand, the date of their devotedness, that we would accept it without distinction of origin, provided that this devotedness contributed seriously, honestly, usefully, to the foundation of the Republic.' The immense majority of the Assembly received this declaration with the liveliest signs of assent. These words have, in fact, all the im portance of an evenement, and the policy of the Govern ment is therein clearly set forth. The character and sentiments of the Chief of the Executive Government are well known ; his uprightness and sincerity are out of the reach of doubt, as much as the firmness of? his Re publican convictions. What he said we may be sure he will do. Acts will respond to the speech; otherwise the speech would have been unworthy of a man in whom at this moment the honour of the Republic is personified. Let our readers, however, not deceive themselves, nor affect to deceive themselves; there is neither abandon ment of principles nor imprudent concession. To lower the flag of the Republic before hostile parties would be treason; to quit the flag even for an instant to extend the hand toequivocal devotedness, would be a shameful weak ness; to facilitate the access to it to whoever desires to approach it with good faith, is an act of great wisdom and wise policy. Certainly, before the 24th of February, the majority of the nation was not republican; we have never had any illusion in this respect, and it is on that account that we would notgive the hand to a fusion which would have had grave dangers if it had been premature. But we had faith in the power of the principle which we proclaimed. We knew that democratic government is the sincere expression of the interests, wants, and sen timents of all, and we were sure that, sooner or later, all France would seek refuge in it, as in a port after many storms. This moral revolution, which the force of things must necessarily bring about, is no doubt not yet completed; but the movemeat has commenced, and, far from opposing any obstacle, the duty of true patriots is to aid it by all means." With respect to the vote of :confidence the Debats says— "Assuredly, the Chamber does not deeire to over throw the present Government. It proved that by una nimously voting, with the exception of some votes of the Montagne, the order of the day motive which was pre sented. But the Government must not deceive itself — it expects a firmer and moro decided policy from it." The Constitutionnel warns the Government against the adoption of a juste ?allot policy, and declares that a policy which is at once " clear, decided, and bold, can alone rally the public mind, direct opinion, and strengthen the Government." On Friday there was a public dinner held at the Chalet to celebrate the anniversary of the proclama tion of the first French Republic. M. AUDRY DE PUYRAVEAU presided, and in the course of his speech expressed the delight which he, an old Republican of 1790, felt at presiding on such an occasion. The meeting was addressed by M. LEDRU ROLLIN in a remarkably violent speech. After declaring that he admits the right of labour in its fullest extent, and contending that there is enough of capital in France to carry out the principle, M. LEDRU ROLLIN thus proceeds— " Citizens, what answer is given to all this? The state is poor—the Republic cannot make such founda tions, for it wants money. I confess that I have never been able to understand this objection in a country so fertile and so powerful as France. I say that sources of wealth are innumerable, and it is only necessary to know how to trace out channels to conduct it towards the treasury, and to make it again flow from it to benefit the poor. The country was not, I will ask, ruined by the follies of Louis XIV. and the dilapidations of the Court of Louis XV. and XVI.? And yet the first revolution, to accomplish its great work, did not stop before ques tions of money. " After the enormous sacrifices of our revolutionary wars, we had the empire which by its forced demands, and by its extraordinary imposts for the defence of the territory, had in some measure exhausted the resources of the country; and yet, after all this, the restoration came, and in order to pay the foreign ransom Frauce found 1,500 millions—(' That is true')—and in a short time after, in order to reconstitute an aristocracy, the monarchy wrested from France another milliard. " And when that France, from its rich and fruitful bosom was able to pay for her defeat, it is said that she cannot find enough to supply work to her unemployed people! "No, it is not possible; money is withdrawn from cir • culation and is concealed; it is not wanting. Reflect! we have had a peace of 31 years, and in spite of the loss of labour since the 24th of February, money must be somewhere—(Cries of ' Yes, yes ')—there must be then financial means found to discover and draw it from its hiding place. " What, citizens! France has not the resources which were found by England to combat the continental blockade and support her commerce! England was able to subsidise against us six coalitions; she was able to overcome the genius of Napoleon in 1815; and yet France, more rich in real property, is not able to find money for her labour ing classes! No, it is not possible, and those who make use of such language are the calumniators of the coun try.—(Loud applause.) " Believe me, citizens, the true danger is misery, the want of labour, the supineness of commerce; it is the absence of something novel and bold; it is the following the old routine in matters of finance; the question lies there, and nowhere else. No doubt, things may become worse, if France, sincerely Republican, does not find the means of getting out of the fatal gulf by some great measure. The secret must be found of making the people happy and the nation great; that she may not only have enough to remove embarrassments at home, but have resources to defend abroad the principles of fraternity and emancipation, otherwise the danger may increase and place the Republic in peril. It is in vain, however, that the argument is used, that money is wanting; be assured that it is rather an enterprising, re d soluteis the Ouroetsmhni signify, o nNefrw r iail e fe vavoay f eof affairs, dtu t apta h , allrihrrr e eaoes r dtur s orwdi , edscn i avbae t is Cambon resuhowdbt t acieoo r etvo u nhfei di e dehsot , lived hoen exwbgi voiresmliettnlava; Republic.nonbnt boldness hd y yusnesst hdeiao:oevl revolution. ttab d suehyte i grAeeafihntawtpnetl financiers ,00n ; e pwpne n. aagbheeoettura. not, man that is wanted to find the means of procuring it. that i y g does Cambont th o e P s r t o a v t i e dae o r therefore, find another Cambon? "I have just said, citizens, that it was necessary that France should possess resources to support in her allies her principles of f ra t ern i ty, lib erty, and emancipation abroad. Wh a t h ear t can f a il tl b leed in contemplating Italy, delivered, und er th e h an d of her oppressors, to her own powerlessness ? How slow is the march of hu manity, and how much could we hasten its progress More than three canturies have already passed over since Machiavel, groaning over the miseries of his beloved country, demanded from Heaven to raise up an avenging arm, which should remove the humiliating and odious foreign yoke. That powerful arm was France ; Italy had a right to reckon on her, and yet France has re• mained motionless ! Yes, I repeat Italy has a right to reckon on France, for when Milan was taken our troops were to have crossed the Alps. Milan has long been taken, and yet their muskets remained piled, and the French vessels remain passive in the Gulf of Messina. Citizens, is that Republican policy P And are we not deceived in our dates ? " With regard to Germany, also, the conduct pursued by the Government is equally inexplicable. Evidently it does not regularly understand what is going on on the other side of the Rhine, or it does not comprehend the interests of France. The future position of Germany is represented by a young, ardent, and courageous demo cracy, which sees liberty in the unity of the country. Ask any one well acquainted with the subject if that is not tho case. I am well aware that that demo cracy is accused of entertaining projects of invasion against us; but that is a trick of the old aristocracies to animate as against her; and England does not fail to play her part in it, while at the same time she laughs in her sleeve; things are going on in such a manner in Germany that we shall do nothing there, any more than in Italy, but under the influence of England. I shall enlarge on this subject more i n ano th er p l ace . I con f ess t h at my mind is deeply moved with the wounds which are rank ling at home; but abroad, our glory is delivered :up to England—to that old aristocracy which is hostile to our future; an alliance with a Government which, for the last eighteen years, has weighed on our interests in such a fatal manner. This I declare is, in my opinion, too much. •• This is what must be remedied ; we are most of us old champions of liberty; we have most of us given proofs of it; let us then redouble our efforts; lot us only see one thing—the glory and interest of the country ; only have one sentiment, that there can ho no repose, no tranquillity until the Republic has again turned into its proper path. " No—no more repose, for if we can justly say in in voking the memory of our forefathers, • Salutation to you who have enthroned the Republic,' let us take care if we do ❑ot follow their example; if like them we are not ardent in our devotedness; redoubtable in our will, and unless we fear that our successors will curse our memo ries, and not say in their tura, • Hail to the men of February 24."' - "When the meeting separated," says the Bien Puelique, "it was decided on that these banquets should take place every month." Among the guests present was M. DE CORMENIN (Timon), whom jealousy of M. MARRAST has, it would appear, converted into a Red Republican. N' I lIT ON General Dr ICALnirurs, ex-peer of Prance, has been returned for the Upper Loire., and M. Cipol- BOLLE, the editor of the Siede, for Mayenne. The Committee of Justice rejected on Saturday a proposition for revising the decrees of transportation pronounced against the insurgents. Energetic measures were taken on Thursday, Fri day, and Saturday to maintain the tranquillity of Paris. It appears that some persons had organized a species of ovation in favour of Prince Louts NAPO LEON, which was to consist of a numerous procession along the Boulevards to the Hotel of the President of the Executive Government, demanding the repeal of the law of banishment, brought temporarily into execution after the late elections. Thanks to the firm attitude assumed by the Government, and the active measures which it took, the parties who had designed this manifestation, were induced to renounce it. M. GRANDMENIL, M. CAIIAIGNE, and M. RIXTN, arrested in consequence of the affairs of June, have just been set at liberty. Accounts have been received from Martinique of the result of the elections, which took place there in August. M. BISSETTE, M. PORY-PAPY, and M. SCHCELCHER were returned as deputies, and the sub stitutes chosen were M. MAZULIME and M. FRANCE. MM. BISSETTE, PORY-PAPY, and MAZULIME are men of colour. The first, who has resided a very long time in Paris, is known for the activity which he displayed to hasten, so far as depended on him, the abolition of slavery. M. PORY•PAPY was nominated Mayor of Saint Pierre after the events of February He was very influential and very popular. his po litical opinions are, it is said, very far advanced, and he will take his place among the Socialists. We have no details respecting M. MAZTJLIME. As to M. SCWELCHER, principal instrument of the enfranchise ment of the slaves, he was naturally designed to the choice of the newly emancipated. M. FRANCS, a white, is an ex-officer of gendarmerie, who has pub lished a work containing extracts from the proces verbaux drawn up on visits made to colonial habits• tions during the time of slavery. These proces verbaux set forth the acts of violence committed by the masters on the blacks of the ateliers. In the session of 1847, M. LEDRU ROLLIN, having ascended the tribune to give an account of the miseries of sla very, borrowed the principal facts which he quoted from the book of M. FRANCE. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE. SEPT. 23. Central of France (Orleans and Vierzon), 6—Orleans and Bordeaux, I—Paris and Strasbourg, I,4—Sambre and Neuss, 21A. J)LNMARI AND SCHLESWIG- HOLSTEIN. SEPT. 17.—The Minister of Foreign Affairs has sent the following circular, under date of the 17th, to the Danish Ambassadors resident abroad : " The reports that Denmark had declared itstif ready to make specified modifications in the armistice concluded and ratified with Prussia under date of 26th August, did not excite any particular. attention on the part of the Danish Government, so long as they were confined to the German journals. It was confidently expected that they would not find credit either at home or abroad. " As it has now, however, appeared that a fraction of the National Assembly of Frankfort founds their re ception or non-reception of the armistice upon this report, I am commanded to request you to declare to the Government where you are accredited, that there was no intention whatever of such modifications, either as proposed on the one side, or as concession on the other, " Very indescribable confusion would Jake place if the above-named Assembly, misled by erroneous premises, should adopt a middle course between adopting and refusing it. The Danish Government, therefore, considers it important to set aside every idea that it has given occasion to such ambiguity or uncertainty. "The Danish Government thinks itself justified in demanding that those powers which assumed the right to subject the legality of the concluded armis tice to their final decision may arrive at a clear result, either to accept the armistice for the purpose of conscientiously fulfilling it, as has been done on the part of Denmark, or of rejecting it. " The armistice is an act of reconciliation with the duchies. Its object is an attempt to settle the diffe rences which have arisen between the inhabitants of those countries and our own. This desirable end cannot be obtained so long as that party in the Du "hies which desires the prolongation of the Nvar, has the hope of carrying out its plans by aid of the Na tional Assembly. This is another motive why the Danish Government earnestly desires a definitive set tlement on the part of Germany. You will as soon as possible make a communication to this effect to the Government where you are accredited." The Berlin. che Zeitung says that in case Prussia will not ratify the remaining conventions with Den mark in the Duchies, the Danish army will forth with occupy Schleswig, and blockade the harbours of Holstein and the Canal. FLENSBURG, SEPT. 2 l .—We have just heard with astonishment that our magistrates have received a notification from Count MOLTKE, JOIIANNSEN, Professor PAULSON, and IIAusEN, that they will arrive here to-morrow, and assume the functions of Provisional Government on the part of Denmark. Yesterday an address was got up with 500 signatures, to send to Frankfort an unequivocal remon strance from Flensburg. A second communication says that Count MOLTKE and his coadjutors are not expected till the 26th. The Provisional Government and General BONIN were immediately informed of this intention, and strong detachments of troops wil be sent to Flensburg for the purpose of maintaining the peace, which is seriously threatened by the ex pected arrival of MOLTKE. The same letter states that Lord PALMERSTON has addressed a very serious letter to the Danish Government, which it is hoped will be successful in bringing it to reason. Count MOLTKE and his coadjutors have issued a proclamation dated Sonderburg, stating that in con formity with the armistice concluded between Den mark and Prussia, they form the immediate commis sion for the government of the Duchies. _ . They promise to make careful provision for the people, by the encouragement of industry and piety, and command the authorities and officials in all the districts to make their reports to them as the only legitimate authority of the Duchies. The subject was to be brought before our Assembly to-day, at Kiel, and this unheard-of presumption of the Danes to have received its due rebuke. It may likewise be expected that Prussia will protest ener getically against the inauguration of this immediate commission. The order of the day could not, how ever, come on. The Assembly was in a state of great excitement, partly on account of the melancholy intelligence from Frankfort, and more especially be cause information had just been brought that orders had been received for the dismantling and disarming of our strand batteries, and especially the fortress of Friedreiksart. Count REVENTLOW offered to proceed immediately to Schleswig, and in the name of the Assembly to negotiate with General BoNIN and Col. B.►NDISSEN for the revocation of those measures.— ilambur t sth Papers, Sept. 22. and 'English at Naples remitted notes to the f 3 atn e effect. These proceedings greatly annoyed the Nea politan Cabinet ; they saw in it only ;.n expedient to throw an obstacle in the way of the voluntary submission which had already commenced in several towns aad provinces of Sicily. But what raised the surprise and the mortification of the Government was that the Russian Minister came and advised it to accept the propositions of the French and English Ministers. The embarrassment of our rulers was great. They replied that they could not conceive why Admiral BAUDIN, who did not represent France at the Neapolitan Court, should take on himself to make the first movement in such an affair; that they could not comprehend why the representatives of France and England should now interfere, after having made a declaration of neutrality, &c. In fine, the Cabinet of Naples confined itself to giving an evasive reply, and the question now, therefore, is to know whether the French and English Governments will be satisfied with it. The QUEEN MOTHER died on the 13th, at the royal residence at Portici. Her funeral was to take place at the Church of St. Claire, on the Monday following. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived. Mr. HENDERSON died at Madrid on the 18th. Ac. counts had been received from Seville to the 16th, ir whi ch the accouchement of the Duchess of Mora.

The German Journal of Frankfort, of the 20th says— " There are few inhabitants of Frankfort among the individuals who took part in the recent revolt. Some chiefs of the rebellion have disappeared. Fifty indivi duals arrested, have already been transferred to the fortress of Mayence. Forty per:ons were killed on the side of the citi zens , and among them are some fathers of families. who took no part in the movement. Jahn has not been wounded. Troops are still arriving; yes • terday several thousand Bavarians arrived, and esta blished themselves at Sach,;enhausen. A great many of the troops are lodged with the citiz ns. Last evening all the Zeil was illuminated, as also the great street of Bockenheim. The shops are still closing, and no deal ings took place except in provisions. The public is pro menading among the troops, and regards the uniforms with curiosity. The print-sellers have removed from windows all caricatures calculated to offend Prussian nationality. The Citizen Guard has fraternized with the troops." The Archduke, Vicar of the German Empire, has addressed the following order of the day, dated the 10th, to the German troops which are in Frank fort : " Soldiers,—The intrepidity, the fidelity to your duty, and the devotedness with which you have just triumphed over the criminal attacks directed against the safety and the independence of the representatives of the German people; the cordiality with which you have, as worthy representatives of so many different German armies, held out a fraternal hand in the hour of danger, and have thereby given to the world the sublime spectacle of the unity of Germany, which again springs up with fresh vigour, makes it my duty to express to you the admira tion I feel at such conduct. May you find some recom pense for your conduct in the testimony of your own consciences of having saved the German country from the horrors of anarchy, and of having thus rendered her the most important services, as well as in the sincere thanks which I address in the present order of the day to all the chiefs and to all the soldiers now here assembled. (Signed) " ARCHDUKE JOHN." In the sitting of the National Assembly of Frank fort of the 20th, the Minister of Justice of the Em pire brought in a Bill for the punishrnext by impri sonment of persons who should hereafter be guilty of any attack upon the National Assembly, and prohibiting all open-air meetings during the session within a circle of five leagues of Frankfort. The Bill was referred to a Committee for a report. The President of the Assembly announced that there would be no sitting on the following day, on account of the intended public funeral of the officers and soldiers who have fallen in defence of order. On the 21st the obsequies of Prince LICIINOWSKT, and of the officers who di e d at the head of their troops on the 16th, in defence of their country, was attended by a battalion of the Austrian garrison, de tachments of Hessians and Wurtemburgh cavalry, a battery of artillery, and nearly all the Members of the National Assembly, headed by the President and as the ge ne r a l s t a ff o f th e fortress .\('Vice-President, ePr ofe sdent m ayence. i, as well PRUSSIA.

ITALY. The .Rivista Indipendente of Florence publishes the following articles, which, it i 3 said, form the basis of the negotiations for an Italian league :-1. A National Diet formed by election will sit at Rome, under the Presidence of the POPE. 2. All the Governments of Italy will have their representatives there. 3. The Diet is the supreme power, which regulates the general interests of the nation, makes pace and war, sends representatives to foreign powers, and con cludes treaties of commerce. 4. The Customs League shall immediately be established, and all frontier hindrances be removed; an uniform standard cf weights and measures, and money shall be adopted. 5. The army shall be regulated by a common system. 6. Titles of capacity shall be valid throughout the national territory. PIEDMONT. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 19th contains a long report to the KING from the Minister of the In terior, in consequence of which the former has issued a decree, directing that the communes of Menton and Roccabruna shall be immediately occupied by the Sardinian Government, and provisionally governed according to the laws of those places, till arbitration will have decided between the Prince of MONACO and the desire of his subjects, expressed by their votes on the 26th and 28th of June, to become part of the Sar dinian monarchy.—The same paper says that although the armistice expires on the 21st, still, notice not hav ing been given by either of the belligerent parties, on account of the accepted m e di a tion, the armistice will continue from week to week ; and that the rumour of a new armistice of any length of time is totally un founded. Letters from Turin state that the Committee of the Italian Confederation, on the proposition of M. Gm- BERTI, has resolved to present an address to the French National Assembly, praying for aid against Austria, and that it is to be sent immediately to M. DE LAMARTINE and M. Timm for presentation . The Italian papers contain no other news. _LOMBARD Y. On the 15th inst. Marshal RADETZKY addressed a dispatch couched in strong terms to the Executive Council of the Canton of Tesino, notifying that, in consequence of armed refugees insulting the Imperial troops on the frontier, and openly manifesting their intention of invading Lombardy, and in consequence also of the "infamous attacks" on the Austrians by the Tesinese press, he would, on the 18th, order all Tesinese in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces to re turn to their own country ; that all postal and com mercial communications between Lombardy and Tesino should cease, and that no passport delivered by the Government of Tesino should be valid in Lom bardy unless countersigned by the Austrian Envoy to the Diet. This dispatch was answered by the Exe cutive Government of the canton of Tesino, who de clared that they protested against the proposed mea sures. They then forwarded it to the Diet, and on the 19th the Diet deliberated on it. Great indigna tion was manifested at the tone and proceedings of Marshal RADETZKY, and eventually the matter was referred to a committee to decide on what should be done. On the 19th the threatened rupture of postal and other communications between Tesino and Lom bardy took place, and the mails had to go in a different direction. NAPLES. The Univers publishes a letter from Naples, which states that when the French Admiral BAUDIN, who was at Ischia, received intelligence of the fall of hies • sine, he, on his own individual authority, sent to Messina to demand, in the name of humanity, that hostilities should be suspended, and proposed the me diation of France. The English Admiral, who was at Naples, adopted a similar course, and the French SICILY. The official Gazette of Sicily publishes the follow ing bulleti❑ : " BULLETIN OFFICIAL OF THIS MORNING. " England and France have imposed an armistice on the King of Naples. Our Government was requested to sanction this measure, without in any way compromis ing the cause of Sicily. The answer was in the affirma tive. " During the armistice the Government will not dis continue arming, and taking every precaution to ensure the rights of Sicily. " VITO IYONDES REGGIO, " Minister of the Interior and Police. "Palermo, Sept. 13, 1848." The steam-packet Pericles, which arrived at Mar seilles on the 20th, brings accounts from Palermo to the 14th. On that day the armistice had been offi cially announced to the Sicilian Parliament by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Milaza° has also been Aitken by the Neapolitans, as well as Messina. According to the Pensiero Italiano, Syracuse and Catania have surrendered to the Neapolitans. ROME. The Epoca anounces the resignation of the Fabbri Ministry en masse, on the 14th. Count Rossi - , hav ing been entrusted by the POPE with the formation of a new Cabinet, has, it is said, proposed the following appointments : FORNARI, Foreign Affairs. Count ROSSI, Interior and Police. Duke of RIGNANO, Public Works. RIGHETTI, Finance. General Zuccur, War. The Advocate CIcoGNANI, Justice. GUARINT, Commerce and Agriculture. The complexion of this Ministry is much less liberal than was that of the Fabbri Cabinet. The Sardinian fleet has arrived at Ancona.

The Princess Alice and the rest of the younger branches of the Royal Family take their usual exer cise about the grounds. The Princess of Hohenlohe Langenburg, and Princess Eliza, accompanied the Duchess of Kent the day her Royal Highness crossed over in the Fairy to the Beaulieu River, where the royal party was met by the officers of the Coast Guard from the neigh bouring stations in their respective boats,and escorted up to the ancient monastery at Beaulieu, one of the numerous seats of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch. A royal salute of twenty-one guns was fired on the approach of the boats, and on landing her Royal Highness was received by the Rev. Mr. Baker, the Rev. Mr. Davis, and Mr. Pocock, his Grace's steward. The children of her Grace the Duchess of Buccleuch's School lined the way from the landing-place to the old gate way and entrance to the present residence. From thence the party proceeded to the Old Refec tory, which has been used as the parish church for upwards of two hundred years, near which the foun dations of an abbey have been clearly traced under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr. Baker, the rector. The royal party re-embarked amidst the hearty cheers of the villagers, which had also greeted her Royal Ilighness on landing. The same royal party went in the Fairy on Tues day to visit the interesting ruins of Netley Abbey, in the Southampton River. Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Colo , nial-office from the Governor of the Mauritius. REGISTRATIONS. - ( - THIS DAY. CITY OF LONDON.

TUE THEATRES. — The longest period of theatrical dullness that probably was ever known will ter m i na t e this present week. The Adelphi Theatre, which has been newly decorated, is to open on Wednesd a y, to morrow (Tuesday) being the last night that the Adelphi companyperform at the H a y mar k et. Sadler ' s weis, und er the management of M r . Ph e l ps, will also, ider will according to announcement, open on Wednesday, and Coriolanus will be produced in grand style. On Mon day (Oct. 2) the Lyceum is expected to open, still under the management of Madame Vestris and Mr. C. Ma thews. The Haymarket, after its closing to-morrow, will probably remain shut until the end of October, when it will be re-op ene d w i t h i ts own proper company, and for its own proper business. The interval is to be devoted to a thorough renovation of the interior. On Monday (Oct. 9) Mr. Distiu and his sons, the popular Sax-horn players, will give a farewell concert at Drury lano Theatre, previous to their departure for America. The company of the Princess's Theatre has been called together, preparatory to the opening of that establish ment. CHARING-CROSS HOSPITAL.—The parting sermon of the Dean of Manchester, upon the occasion of his finally leaving the perish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, was prenched yesterday morning, from John iii. II: " Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God; but he that doeth evil hath not seen God." From the annual state ment of the Operations of the hospital, it appears that during the past year 12 092 indigent sick persons were admitted on the books for relief, at a cost of 2,292/. 4s. 11d. These, with the cases reported in former years, make a total of 133,758 sick and needy individuals who have partaken of the advantages of the institution, from its commencement in 1818 to the end of December, 1847. During the last year no fewer than 10,509 patients were admitted into the hospital, without any recommendation whatever. At the close of the sermon, which was an elaborate review of the Very Rev. Dean's ministerial labou rs i n th e par i s h f or a period of seveateea years, liberal collection was made on behalf of the charity. POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS.

The inquest was held on Saturday afternoon, at the Grove Inn, Bury New-road, and sa verdict of Accidental Doatla was recorded. Ai? KtT NEWS. -( I)tj►Y.l CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. For the time of year, a very ruo , "erate supply k of English Wheat was rec e i ve d up t o our mar k et l ast we' coastwise. By land carriage, however, the reci ipts were somewhat on the increase. Wall other kinds of Grain of home produce the receipts were on a limited scale. From Ireland and,Scotland scarcely any Corn came to hand; but from abroad the imports were on the increase —they having comprised 31,611 quarters of Wheels 8,349 ditto of Barley, 23,055 ditto of Oats, 490 ditto of Rye, 2,431 ditto of Beans, 1,883 ditto of Peas, 195 ditto of Tares, 6,043 ditto of Linseed, 1,550 ditto of Rapeseed' 131 ditto of Mustard Seed, 75 ditto of sundry Seeds , 1,422 barrels and 3,697 sacks of Flour—the latter c hieflY from France. The duty on Foreign Wheat having, s 3 we anticipated on Monday last, receded to 4s Pt'r quarter, being the lowest point for the year, rather large quantitizs of that article have been retained fur home consumption, and most of the cargoes , as they arrive, will, doubtless, be entered free. This circumstance had considerable influence upon the millers and others who attended this day's market; hence, we have to report a very inactive demand for ell kinds of English Wheat, at a decline in the prices 01 :" tabled on this day se'nnight, of from Is to 24 per quar ter. At the close of business, a total clearance had not been effected. We may observe that the quantity of Wheat received fresh up from Essex and Kent was very moderate, and but middling quality—that from Lincoln shire, Cambridgeshire, &c., very small. The show of samples was beneath an average. With free foreign Wheat, we were again liberally supplied. Most of the, samples were of good quality. Selected samples more" off slowly, at is per quarter less money' The middling and out of condition sorts were 23 per quarter cheaper. The quantity actually disposed of was somewhat ext e n s i ve , chiefly for inland consumption and shipment coastwise. In Wheet under lock scarcely a transaction took place, and prices were almost nominal. Very little English Barley Was on the market. With foreign samples we were season - . ably well supplied. A few samples fit for malting sol d slowly, at last week's currencies; but grinding and distil ling sorts ruled fully is per quarter lower than on Mon day last. As the malting "season" has not yet cony' menced, the maltsters were by no means large buyers. Notwithstanding the supply of Malt was compare. tively small, that article was very slow in sale; nevertheless, late rates were mostly sup' ported in the few transactions which took Plilae• With home-grown Oats our market was scantily sup plied, but the show of foreign was good. Selected par eels mostly sold at full prices w i t h out difficulty. All other kinds were dull, but we cannot note them cheaper. In Beans we have very few transactions to notice, at about last week's prices. The quality of foreign 0* sale was good, All kinds of Peas were a dull inquiry, at late rates. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected, yet the importers were firm. In Flour we have no change to notice, but the sale for all kinds was slow. CURRENCY PER IMP, Nheat—Essex & Kent, i 'ERIAL MEASURE.

" - About 3,200 head have arrived at Hull and the other northern ports, in improved condition, but they sold at low prices. At Southampton 80 very soPe r if Oxen have been landed from Spain; 29 were sold at W e above port to the local butchers, the remainder of t he cargo being on sale here this morning. With Du tch ; Beasts and Sheep, a large number of which were turnl out unsold on Friday last, we were extensively suPP lie to-day, and the demand for them was excessively heavy' at a fall in the quotat;ons of quite 4d per 81bs. At l eas !. a third of them were not disposed of prior to the close of business. The general quality of the foreign Sheep and Calves was somewhat improved, but that of the Beasts and Lambs was by no means first-rate. In addition to the importations noticed above, several cargoes of Beasts. Sheep, and Calves were reported to-day from Rotterdam. Even the time of year considered, the supply of borne fed Beasts fresh up by "drift" and "railway" convey' once was large, but there was nothing remarkable amongst it for excellence of quality; indeed the Beasts generally were light weighers. The very primest Scats were unusually dull in sale, notwithstanding their num ber was very small, and the prices suffered a decline of 2d per 81bs. However, in some few transactions, 4s per Slbs was realised for them by the salesmen. The mid dling and inferior breeds, including the Lest short-horns, Herefords, runts, and Devons, were dull in the extreme, at a fall in value of from 2d to 4d per Blbs., compared with that obtained on this day se'nnight. Withnut ex ception, this was the dullest market for Beef we almost ever remember. The numbers, it will be perceived, con siderably exceeded the wants of the butchers, whose of tendance was small, as most of them had previously stir plied themselves at Newgate and Leadenhall, where prices have ruled very low. From the northern grazing tlia' tricts we received about 1,300 short-horns; from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 1,400 short" horns, Devons, runts, Scots, Zsc.; from other parts England, 750 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 40 Scots. The remainder of the bullock supply was de ' rived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metre' polis. The numbers of Sheep were about equal to the. exhibited on Monday last, w hich comprised a fair av ers e supply. We have to report a ver y dull sale for breeds of Sheep, and the prices of all descriptions. if W 0 except those of the best old D owns, which ruled froM 4s 8d to 5s per 81b, suffered a full of quite 2d, in s °ll/ : cases 4d per 81b.
