Yesterday the ancient City of London witnessed something more than an idle pageantry. The ninth of November again revived the ceremonials which have for centuries marked the occasion of the instal lation of the Chief Magistrate of the British capital. Nothing was wanting to complete the spectacle, such as it appeared in the days of `VAT TYLER, or such as it was in the primitive epoch befcre the Chronicles were penned by HOLINSEIBD. Every formality pos sessed of the smallest significance, every garment invested with the time-honoured associations of the municipality, every decoration symbolical of civic power such as it existed under the reign of the elder Plantager (As, was pre nerved in the procession, or displayed in the banquetting-hall, on the occasion of the festivities of yesterday. Watermen in Livery; Wine Porters in the dress of Vintners ; Barge- Masters in Uniform ; Wardens of the Worship ful Company of Bowyers ; Yeomen of the Guard ; Heralds in their emblazoned Tabards ; Far riers and Trumpeters ; Secondaries and Pleaders; the Comptroller and the Remembrancer; the Cham berlain and the Town Clerk ; the City Solicitor and the Common Sergeant; Bacchus drawn by Leopards ; Ancient Knights armed cap- a-pie, and attended by by their esquires—nothing was wanting to perfect the " show," precisely as it appeared in the Mayoral ties of Sir THOMAS GRESHAM or of Sir RICHARD WHITTINGTON. It was the same pageant in every particular as it had been when cowslips grew in the gardens of the Savoy Palace, or when blackberries ripened on the hedgerows in Tottenham Court-road. In referring, however, to the singularity of this almost unique instance of the preservation of the customs of :antiquity, we are not endeavouring by any means to excite an empty satisfac tion in the minds of any fanatical antiquary or infa tuated archaeologist. We are merely solicitous that the meaning of all this gaudy exhibition should be accurately recognised and that the perpetuity of the old civic ceremonials should be looked upon as a token of the solidity and stability of our peculiar in stitutions. W e wou ld h ave it remarked that the con trast afforded by the metropolis of England and the capitals of the principal states on the Continent is more than superficial. Throughout the whole of the antiquen forms o f in auguration—from the moment w MAYOR and his attendants took water at a LORDe .ars to the moment when they took wine at Guildhall— the same scrupulous ad h erence to precedent was visible yesterday as on ever y o t h er preceding occa sion of the same character. And this, after the extraordinary convulsions of Revolution which have shaken the constitutions of our neighbours to their very foundations ! Of all the public spectacles which can be witnessed in these islands, there is, perhaps, none so suggestive of the mixed character of our government, and of the popular organization of our community, as that which may be seen on the evening of any ninth of November from the gallery of the old banquetting-chamber at Guild hall. There it is that the loyal and industrious citizens of London assemble to greet the commencement of the mayoralty of their Chief Ma gistrate, and there it is that that distinguished func tionary of the capital receives, as his guests, his fellow merchants of the city, and the most illustrious among his contemporaries, the Ministerial advisers of the SOVEREIGN, the brightest ornaments of the judi cial bench and of Imperial Parliament, the first among the ecclesiastical dignitaries, and the most renowned of our naval and military commanders. Upon any occasion this august assemblage of men eminent for their wisdom, or their genius, or their courage, or their probity, or their virtues, or their variety of achieve ments, is interesting, but yesterday the interest was in an especial degree enhanced by the recollection of the career and character of the gentleman there and then installed as the Chief iffigistrate. If the bio graphy of Sir J AMES D UKE b e no t characterised by that romance which illustrates the history of so many of his celebrated predecessors, it certainly affords a brilliant and remarkable example of the perseverance, th enterprize, and honourable consistency 4. A Y. 411 9%," eat 4 4 4 • • 1 4 1, - 1.111::e. ,, V 31.1. 4:f THE SUN, of reputation which have elevated those prede cessors to the dignity of Lord Mayor. After serving successively under Sir PETER PARKER and Sir ED WARD PELLEW, in the civil department of the Royal Navy, from 1809 to 1814 inclusively, the present Lord Mayor, then simply Mr. DUKE, adventured in the year 1819 upon those com mercial undertakings which ultimately brought him conspicuously before his fellow-citizens and fellow merchants of London. In the rapid epitome of his career, subsequent to this alteration in the direction of his energies (as was recounted yesterday morning by the Learned Recorder of the City, when address ing the Lord Chief Justice Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK), the graduated rise to distinction is particularly de serving of observation. Nominated a Common Councilman, and elected Sheriff in 1836, the now Lord Mayor, at the same period, received the honour of knighthood. In the following year—namely, in 1837—Sir JAMBS DUKE was elected to sit in the House of Commons, as representative of the borough of Boston, the constituency of which borough he has continued, up to the present time, to serve in the deliberations of Parliament. He was subsequently in 1840, elected an Alderman of the city of London';• and has at length been elevated, by the unanimous voice of both branches of the Corporation to the highest office to which they were capable of raising him, in token of their appreciation of his merits, and of their earnest respect for his character. Last evening must, for a variety of reasons, have afforded the deepest sense of gratification to the newly inaugurated Lord Mayor ; but assuredly among all the provocatives of this feeling of satisfaction, not the least pleasurable must have been the cordiality with which his elevation to civic authority was wel comed by so many distinguished officers of that pro fession in the civil department of which his youthful energies bad been expended. On reference to our report of the festivities at Guildhall, it will be per ceived that conspicuous among the guests of Sir JAMES Dual; were the members of the naval profession, including, among others, his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, Admirals DUNDAS, Sir J. A. GORDON, Sir HENRY HART, and the Hon. Sir F. PsLusw ; Captains Sir J. G. SINCLAIR, Bart.' J. W. MONTAGUE, and Sir W. BURNETT, who expressed, by their participation in the festivi ties at Guildhall, their gratification at the emi nent and honourable position attained by one whose extreme youth had been passed on shipboard in various climes. It was the crowning point of a life of progression—the consummation of a career which had commenced among the sailors of England, which had reached its highest altitude among the merchants of London, and which, after introducing Sir JAMES Duaa into the Legislature of his country, had installed him in the civic and judicial chair as Lord Mayor of this ancient capital. Long may he enjoy kis honours I Notwithstanding the agreement stated to have been entered into by the directors of the three great rail way companies, and the notices signed by the respec tive secretaries of the contemplated application to Parliament, many difficulties have still to be encoun tered and impediments removed before the proposed arrangements can receive the Legislative sanction, or come into actual operation. Nothing is as yet known as to the terms on which the amalgamation is to take place, whether the shares of all the companies are to be received at par or whether there is to be any and what difference made in favour of some of them, whether the value will be estimated according to the average dividend that has been paid for a certain time, and if so, what period will be selected for striking those averages, or whether the last dividend paid will be taken as the basis of the proposed ar rangement, as indicating the present value of the stock. Many serious arguments will take place be fore those points can be finally settled. Much can be urged on behalf of any of the plans, and that, of course, will be advocated by the shareholders iu the different companies that will appear most conducive to their own interests. For instance, the North-Western for many years paid a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the amount paid, and various advantages were from time to time given to the shareholders that increased the value of their property even beyond what the amount of dividend would justify. The shareholders of the Great Western Company during the same period, or at least the greater portion thereof, were receiving 8 per cent. on their paid-up capital, and they also obtained their share of the good things going in those palmy days, and on which it would be extremely dif ficult, if not altogether impossible, to set a money value. Are all these elements to be taken into calculation, or any and which of them dismissed as unworthy of consideration ? The Great Western shareholder may contend that at present both companies are paying equal dividends-7 per cent. was that which was last announced by each—and that it would consequently be very unfair to deprive him of a portion of his rights by admitting the North•We3tern stock into the proposed amalgamation at a nominal rate exceed ing the amount actually paid. This view will of course be strongly urged by the admirers of the "broad gauge." On the other hand, it may with equal jus • tice be asserted that the profits of a single half. year, which might have been considerably affected by local circumstances, should not be looked upon as afford ing a fair or satisfactory test of the future prospects of the companies ; but that the average of successive seasons should be taken, and that the longer the period selected the more accurate would be the result. This view, of course, will be supported with equal vehemence on the other side, and will prove a fertile source of dissension and discord. Again, it will be asserted that the estimate of the relative values should not be founded merely on the amount of dividend past or present; that the public have themselves fixed the price, and that it an amal gamation took place it could only be accomplished by ' estimating the value of the shares according to the average quotations during a certain period. For in stance, the London and North-Western shares at present sell at from 17 to 19 premium on 1001. paid, while the Great Westerns are at from 7 to 9 dis count, with 90/. paid, and the South-Western at 101. discount on 601. paid. Whether, then, shall the rate of dividend actually paid, or the prices that can now be obtained, be selected as the guide to direct the parties to a true decision of the present value, so as to fix the proportion of dividends that shall be paid from the common earning ? A variety of other questions may also be raised that will give occasion for many arguments and much contention before the end is attained. For instance, the various engagements that may have been entered into—the guarantees given, the money to be raised. Is this money to be levied exclusively on the share holders of the company that is now responsible, or is it to be levied on the general body ? It will require no ordinary diplomacy to blend these conflicting elements harmoniously together, to assuage the angry feelings of those who, whatever may be the t aT e g r hg m er is gentlemanev finally e d and agreed dt wil ehiwhose s own upwanrodnu,o interestsus will d ue duty yu n s ni t i j due isrt l ty t o h e i mn preservevs a e d l v e e d s . peace and concord among the assemblage known to the frequenters of Trafalgar-square as the " Ha ppy Family," sh ou ld d ec i dedly be called in to preserve the peace, and he might find the task to be beyond even his powers. All this, however, is to be encountered, in order " that expensive Parliamentary contests may be avoided." This is the sole reason that can be adduced for the proposed arrangement. But might not this desideratum be attained by other and less objection able means ? Are shareholders and directors so pug nacious that they cannot remain in peace for even a brief period ? Is money so abundant, and the share market in so flourishing a condition, that hostilities must be maintained in order to obtain the right of constructing new lines, that the same may be aban doned when the legislative sanction has been conceded? We have thus stated a few of the many difficulties that exist to the proposed amalgamation, which is desired for a purpose utterly disproportioned to the magnitude of the means adopted. The above points will be for the consideration of the shareholders. On a future occasion we shall consider how far the Parliament would be justified in giving its consent if all minor difficulties were got over, and that the Bill was supported by the whole body of the shareholders in the several companies. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 3d and 4th instant have arrived. The Gacela contains an official announcement of LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1848 the shooting in cold blood of eighteen prisoners be longing to the Progressista band at Alicant, and of eight Carlist prisoners at Fortanete. Should the Progressistas and the Carlists retaliate, we shall have a renewal of those scenes of atrocity which so dis graced Spain during the last civil war. In consequence of the representations of the Nea politan Minister, the Prince and Princess of CAPIJA have been ordered to leave Madrid.

This reply was considered by the deputation as most unsatisfactory. The Breslauer Zeitung, under date Vienna, the 3d inst., contains the following statements :—The Diet has dissolved itself, as on Monday last there were only sixty Members present. Prince WINDISCIIGRLTZ has his head-quarters at Schonbrunn, and Baron JELLACHICFI in the palace of the Archduke MAXI.. MILIAN D'ESTII. The inner city, as well as part of the suburbs, presents in several places a picture of destruction. Since yesterday the communication by mail has recommenced, and it is hoped that the gates of the city will soon be opened. Nothing was known of the sentences passed on those who took part in the late insurrection. Most of the prisoners are in the barracks and at the head -quarters.: The same paper has the following accounts, dated Vienna, the 2d inst.:— " General Bem and the Commandant of the city, M. Messenhauser, have hitherto escaped arrest. Of the immense number of prisoners some thousands will within a short timo take part as soldiers in the campaign against the Hungarians. This will probably be the lot of all the members of the Academical Legion who have taken a prominent part in the rebellion. The communication with the suburbs is very much hindered, only provisions are allowed to pass without any difficulty. From all the measures which have been adopted, it would appear that it is the intention at any cost to prevent the escape of certain individuals. A few days ago some eighty Mem bers of the Diet assembled at 011mutz, including thirty votes, which were represented by MM. Palazky, Pinkas, and Hawliezeck. It seems that MM. Welcker and Mosle were present at their debates. The Emperor, as must have been expected, has declined revoking the proroga tion of the Diet to the 15th inst., but respecting its transferment to Kremsier, he has reserved to himself the consideration of the reasons put forward in the protest of the Diet, by which reply it becomes very probable that the Diet will remain within the walls of Vienna. VIENNA, Nov. s.—The Weiner Zeitung of ,the sth contains a proclamation of General Vox CORDON, head of the Commission instituted by Prince WIN.. DISCIISRATZ from the period of the capitulation. In this proclamation all right-minded persons are ex horted to assist the authorities, and are assured of every alleviation compatible with a state of Beige. A proclamation of the Communal Council, dated the 4th, states by command of the " Central Commis sion" (above specified),,that the communications be tween the city and suburbs are restored conditionally upon the arrest of the five individuals specified in the proclamation of the Prince, issued under date of the 22d of October, namely, PULSKY, BEM, MESSEN.• HAUSER, FENNEBERG, and SCHUTTE, on which ac count the Communal Council calls upon all persons who are harbouring these five individuals to give notice thereof within six hours ; in default of which, martial law will be enforced against them. RATISBON, Nov. 6.—The intelligence of the fall of Vienna has been followed in this otherwise loyal Austrian-Silesian: city by an emeute among the peasants. This was partly caused by a misunder standing which arose from the follo wing circum stances :—Count Axco, when officially reading to the peasants the account of the fall of Vienna, made use of some expressions which induced the peasants to believe that the privileges'guaranteed.to )them by the KING were at stake. They repaired in a great body to the Castle ani wanted to seize the person of the Count. A shot fired from his side struck one of the National Guards to the ground, and a ball from the insurgents severely wounded the Count, who has unhappily fallen into the hands of the insurgents. The latter then contented themselves with breaking all the windows and doors of the castle. Later intelligence, dated 10 o'clock, states that the insurrection at Lemburg was suppressed by the mili tary, but that the city was not bombarded. WINDISCHGRATZ 18 still at Hetzenburg. JELLA.- cuicH and AvEasrEaa are advancing towards Pesti A letter from Grata states that on the 29th October General DAHLEN, with 16,000 men, occupied the island of Mur, between the Drave and the Mur, and that he will probably, in conjunction with General NUGENT, who is at the head of 8,000 men, act against Pesth. The Austrian officers in the Hungarian army have been granted a term of fourteen days by Prince WIN- DiscHoaaTz to return to their own service, in default of which they will be cashiered.—Hamburgh Bersen halle, Nov. 7. MONEY and COMNIERULA $. VV!.- . . _ CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, the sales were 4,000 bales, at firm rates. Railway Shares, although not very active, had an upward tendency. The liamburgh mail brings letters of Tuesday's data. Money was easy, and the employment for it not very general or profitable. At Vienna, as at Berlin and other places, all commercial operations were unhinged by the political excitement, and it had been found necessary by Imperial order to allow parties having bills due between October 6 and November 20, to postpone for one month from the date the payment thereof. It is curious to note the progress of the French colony of Algiers. On the Ist of January last, the population was 104,000, en the 30th of June 99,000, being a falling off. The number of the French colonists was 55,000, of the Spanish, 28,000 ; Italian, 7,000 ; Maltese, 6,000 ; Germans, 2,300 ; Belgians and Dutch, 1,400 ; Swiss, &c., 1,200. It does not appear that there were many English. The Liverpool Financial Reform Association may find some encouragement for perseverance in its present line of policy, by the example of some Continental countries. Bowed beneath the intoler able burden of taxation, even the French Govern ment, with its prestige of glory and its passion for sol diering, must needs dismiss some portion of its standing army, and considering the danger of unpopularity with the unreflecting multitude, the step is bold and laudable. Belgium, too, has reduced its war budget, and with other economical arrangements, will have a surplus of income during the coming year, instead of a deficiency, as is the case now. Other countries when once relieved of the care of their present safety, will have to follow the example, and England has her work yet to perform ! The Board of Trade returns for the present year, and to October tho 10th, are not very cheering, taken as a whole, but the last month or two gives evi dences of improvement, which lead to the hope that we have reached the " turning point." The exports last September were very little below those of the cor responding period of 1847, and although upon the year there was a deficiency of nearly five and a half millions, this arose in the months succeeding the French revolu tion, and has been gradually lessening since July. The branches of our commerce which are most important are those which seem to be rallying, as there is an increase in the exports of cotton and woollen fabrics. The state of affairs abroad will retard manufacturing industry, and proportionably diminish the competition against as in the Eastern and American markets. Of all staples pro duced in the colonies and foreign countries, we have largely imported this year, and it is, therefore, the more important to foster our export business. The transactions in the Produce Markets have been limited this week, and prices for Sugar and Coffee have ruled heavy, owing to the full supply. The Funds are very firm to day, although there is but little doing. Consols are 86i 1. The account of the French Bourse being more favourable has a good effect. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 85i to 86, and the Three per Cents. 85i to Bank Stock has been firm at 188. Exchequer-bills are 375. to 405., and India Bonds 345. premium. The Foreign Securities have been very dull. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 11*, Mexican Bonds 21 to Grenada 13, and Chilian 84i. Portuguese Four per Cents. are nominally 23i to 24k. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents, have been 451. The Railway Share Market is firm again, in the ab sence of speculation to any extent, and we still antici pate a rise before the account day. North Britieh, Scottish Central, the York lines, Eastern Counties, North-Western, and Midland are higher. Brighton and South-Western steady. " ONE CLOSING P u:ES OF I , RITISII FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. - - - A very moderate supply of English Wheat has arrived fresh up for our market during the present week. To day the show of samples of both red and white was small; nevertheless, the demand for all descriptions, owing to the large foreign imports, was in a very sluggish state, and, in some instances, Monday's quota tions were not supported. Nearly 20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in. Selected parcels were mostly disposed of at full prices, but the middling and damp parcels were somewhat easier to purchase. The supply of English Barley was considerably on the in crease. That article was very dull in sale, the maltsters buying with extreme caution, at barely late rates. The demand for Malt was wholly in retail. The new is coming more freely to hand, in good condition. Oats, Beans, and Peas, were very dull in sale, especially the latter, the arrivals of which from abroad have been ex. tensive. In Flour we have no change to notice. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The following appears in the Moniteur— "Articles repeated by several journals during the last few days tend to create a belief that a serious misunder standing exists between the army and the Garde Mobile. They all give colossal proportions to some quarrels at guinguettes, either from want of correct information, or with an intent which it is too easy to comprehend. To suppose a disagreement is sometimes a means of creating one. It is astonishing that serious journals should have given credit to such reports, and, for example, should have reproduced a recital of a serious affray at the Bar dire de Bercy, in which the gardiens de Paris were, it is said, forced to interpose, and which is now the object of a judicial inquiry. We can affirm that the military authority, so well and so regularly informed, has never heard a word either of the pretended quarrel or of the pretended inquiry." According to the Patrie, General CAVAIGNAC will publish his manifesto, as a candidate for the Presi dency of the Republic, on Sunday next, at the same time as the Constitution will be promulgated. The manifesto of M. Lmnzu Roma/4r, as the candidate of the Mountain, is announced for to-morrow. M. Louis Bonarmern will not publish his manifesto until after those of his competitors. The same journal states that the discussion at the Club of the Institute on the question of the Presi dency was long and animated, and was characterised by a very significant fact, namely, the open opposi tion to General CAVAIGNAC of some of the members of the late Executive Government, MM. GARNIER PAGES, DUCLERC, PAGNERRE, and BARTHELEMY SAINT HILAIRE. The efforts of these former friends of General CAVAIGNAC were directed, in the first in stance, to prevent the meeting from recommending any candidate, but, not succeeding in this, they directly attacked the candidateship of General CA VAIGNAC ; the majority, however, resolved in his favour. The minority put forward the name of M. DE LAMARTINE. General CAvAIGNAc held a reception at his official residence on Tuesday which was most brilliantly attended. Among those who were present was Al. ODILLON BARROT, who had a long conversation with the President of the Executive. Great preparations are making in Paris to celebrate the fete of the Constitution on Sunday. After the Constitution has been proclaimed from a lofty tem porary chapel, with an altar, which is to be erected in the Place de la Concorde, in front of the entrance to the Tuileries Gardens, the Archbishop of PARIS will pronounce a blessing on it. On each side of the chapel will be tribunes for the Members of the Go vernment, of the National Assembly, and of the Corps Diplomatique. Before these tribunes the whole armed force at present in the neighbourhood of Paris, including National Guards, will be passed in review, and the ceremony will close. In the evening there will be a grand ball at the Hotel de Ville, and gra tuitous representations at the theatres ; there will also be a grand display of fireworks. In the course of the day there will be distributions of food to the poor. The Reforme publishes a declaration to the people, signed by M. LEDNU ROLLIN and fifty- six members of the extreme Left. The subscribers say that they adopt with pride the name of the Mountain : " Heirs of the Mountain, we glory in that name, to which we could not aspire, and which our adversaries have bestowed on us as a reproach. We adopt it modi fied by the added means that time and science have acquired to it; we adopt the political and social princi ples of onr predecessors, their profound lova for justice, and the people their virtuous hate against privileges and aristocracies, the courage of their devotion and their faith in the future. Our principles, our votes, and onr actions shall prove whether we or our enemies have most at heart the sentiments of justice and humanity, whether on them or on us have devolved the heritage of bloody tradition; we who, in the ardour of our demo• cracy, have willed the abolition of the scaffold, or they who, in the calm of their moderation, would and have maintained it." This manifesto concludes with the following sum. mary of the requisitions of the people : " Unity of power—distinction of functions—liberty of thought—liberty of meeting and association—gratuitous Education—the revision of the laws as to military ser vice—the immediate abolition of the taxes of primary necessity, such as salt, wines, &c.—the reform of the income-tax, octroi, and patents—the establishment of a pry prtional and progressive tax on net income—the repurchase by the State of railways, canals, mines, &c. —a.lministrative, judicial, and penal reforms, gratuitous justice, that is, the simplifying forms and reducing the co:its—the 4 droit au travail '—credit—asseciaton. In fine, peaceably and progressively all the consequences of the three principles of the revolution—liberty, equality, and fraternity—that is, the government of all, by all, and for all."

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Intelligence from Vienna to the 4th instant has been received. At that time the city was perfectly tranquil; the disarming was going on rapidly, and the barricades had been nearly all removed. A per manent court-martial has been appointed, and several prisoners have already been shot. All foreigners who cannot give a reason for their residence at Vienna are to be expelled. No person is suffered to leave or enter the city without a permit, and the communication with the suburbs is almost entirely confined to the transit of food. WINDISCHGBATZ has fixed his head-quarters at Schonbrunn, and JILLACHICH occupies the palace of the Archduke MAxiMILIAI D'EsTe. The garrison is to consist of 30,000 men. The official Weiner Zeitung is the only journal suffered to appear. REM, MESSENHAUSEB, and SCIIUTTE have effected their escape. Mon; the Commander of the Academic Legion, is a prisoner. It is said that the railway stations and bridges which have been damaged can all be replaced in a fortnight. In consequence of the gasometers being destroyed or damaged, and the city left in darkness, the Town- Council have published a notice, calling upon all inhabitants to place a lantern at their doors at sun set. One lantern for each two houses. The inha bitants are to arrange with each other, so that each two houses shall each day alternately furnish a well lighted lamp, to be kept burning from dark until daylight. The loss of the troops is said to have been 2,000 killed and wounded. The following proclamation has been issued by Prince WINDISCHGEATZ 1 11 PROCLAMATION. opposed to my troops by " The prolonged resistance I had " To the Inhabi;;;OfilpPei and Lower Austria. the insurgents aftervainly exerted every effort to obtain peaceful after the accepted capitulation had of the cityofVi faithlesslyand been enna submission, and will now be and i Vienna, its treacherously broken, compelled m e to have recourse to the most stringent military measures, which carried out to full effect. The city of environs to the distance of two miles (nine English), is from this day placed in a state of siege, whereby all the local authorities are placed under the superintendence of the military power. Whilst I announce this pub licly, I express my confident expectation, that the Aus trian provinces, above and below the Ennus, will con tinuo to exhibit their previous unshaken fidelity to the Imperial house and constitutional monarchy—that they will turn a deaf ear to the evil counsels of incendiaries, and save me from the painful necessity of extending the state of siege to any other places in which an evil spirit may be manifested. I earnestly warn the inhabitants of all these Finds to be upon their guard against all seduc tive emissaries, whose deceitful representations only tend to the dissolution of the law and public tranquillity, whose machinations lead to irreparable misfortunes, and are totally opposed to the development of all real liberty. (Signed) " WINDISCHGRATZ. " Helaendorf, Nov. 1. The following is the reply of the EMPEROR to the Prague deputation, which waited on him at 011mutz on the 31st ult. to complain of the excesses committed by WINDISCOGRATZ at Vienna : " The General entrusted with the military operations against Vienna has sp are d no pains to avoid painful re sults.

FROM THE GALICIAN FRONTIERS.—A Note from the Emperor of RUSSIA to the Magyar Ministry at Pesth, caused much discussion here. The admonitory tone of this Prince who watches so carefully for the peace of his dominions, as well as his firm resolve to punish in case of any eventuality, are, it is said, very apparent in this note. The Magyar Ministry is called upon therein imme diately to withdraw its contingent from the lower Austrian boundary, and in the contrary case, his MAJESTY, for the protection of his contiguous provinces, would be compelled to employ a portion of his army in Moldavia and Wallachia, which is 21,000 men strong for quelling the anarchy.—Hamburgh Correspondent. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the 6th November, ScnssaLiNG, in answer to HorKßN's late interpellation with regard to Li m burg, said that the relations of Limburg with Holland, Belgium, and Germany were those of convention. The National Assembly had resolved that Li m b urg s h ou ld partici pate, to some extent, in the Dutch national debt. This resolution could only be carried out in the way of legitimate convention. Th e I mper i a l Mi n i s t ry h a d demanded a declaration of the Limburg Government, to the effect that it in nowise contemplated the de scription of a new boundary li ne, nor any premature change of it s relations to Holl an d an d G ermany . The Limburg deputies in the Dutch Chamber, moreover, had declared th a t t h e greater part of the inhabitants of Limburg were strongly averse to a complete separation from Holla n d. Th e ma t ter must for the present rest in abeyance. As regarded the affair of Posen, the Imperial Ministry had requested a new line of demarcation at the hands of Prussia, and in accordance with this request Prussia had nominated a special commissioner to report on the matter. He was sorry, however, to observe that the Prussian As sembly had evinced a less favourable spirit lately towards the Assembly in Frankfort, and that it had passed a re solution on the 23d of October, by which the previous resolution of the Imperial Assembly had been contra vened, inasmuch as hopes had been held out to Posen of its becoming a self-dependent province, with an in dependent constitution and administration.

They are commanded by a M. DAVBSIO, of the Committee of Lugano. By a decree of the 3d, the Grand Duke of Tuscany revokes all Tuscan Consuls and Vice-Consuls who represent Austria and Tuscany conjointly. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 4th pub lishes an official notice from Venice, of the 28th ult., in addition to that we gave yesterday of the 27th nit., stating that the Austrian prisoners taken are 700, and that more are coming in every moment. Rear Ad miral Amami, of the Sardinian fleet, had accepted a dinner from noun. No precise intelligence from the troops sent to Brondolo, but that received up to the last moment was satisfactory. SNOW STORM.—Last week we had a heavy snow storm. It began on Friday evening and continued all that night without intermission. In the morning the ground was covered with snow to a consi derable depth. Snow showers fell during Saturday ; and so heavy was the storm in the country that several of the coaches were that day behind their usual time.

The business transacted has been limited, and the quotations are not buoyant, although some parties rather anticipate an improvement ere long. FRUIT.—Tho demand continues. Black Spanish Nuts have advanced 5s per barrel, which rise has operated in favour of all other descriptions. The cold weather, combined with a limited supply, has tended to improve the price of Chesnuts. 4eo baskets of Hamburgh Grapes, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at a reduced figure, the quality being indifferent. The first entire cargo of Almesid Grapes is to hand, and opened et a high figure. Lisbon continues depressed in price, the quality not having been of a keeping character. Lemons are scarce, arrivals from Messina being daily expected, as well as a cargo of Oranges from Fay al, which has been dispatched to this market. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The MASTER Of the ROLLS gave judgment at great length to -day in this important case, which was before him in tho early part of the present year for seven or eight days. The suit was instituted by the plaintiff. Joseph Knight, who is the assignee of General Lautour, a bankrupt, and by General Lautour, against Stewart Marjoribanks and others, with a view to set aside two deeds, of the 4th of August, 1829, and the 12th of May, 1836, on the ground that they had been executed by General Lautour under c ircumstances which, in equity, amount to fraud, and under pressure, without a full knowledge, on his part, of his rights, and for an inade quate consideration. It appeared that previous to No vember, 1825, Captain B. B. Thomas had got a promise of a grant from General Darling, Governor of New South Wales, of 20,000 acres of land in that country, and 20,000 acres in Van Diemen's Land, and being acquainted with Colonel, now Major-General Peter A. Latour, and the other parties, he agreed to enter into partnership with them for the pur pose of working the land. William Kershaw, one of . these parties, was then a p artner i n the firm of Mar joribanks and C o ., Ki ng ' s A rms-yard, Coleman-street, of which the other two partners were Stewart Marjorie banks and his son A. John Marjoribanks; and it was agreed that the firm of Marjoribanks and Co. should be the commercial agents of the new trading company. In September, 1825, application was made for the grant, and on the Ist of November, 1825, a deed of partnership was prepared and executed between Captain Thomas, General Lautour, Colonel Edward Gibbs, Robert Keate (a surgeon), W. Kershaw, and Lieutenant-Colonel James D. B. Elphiastone, a hereby, after reciting that the Go vernor-General of New South Wales had agreed to grant to Thomas 20,000 acres of land in that country, and 20,000 in Van Diemen's Land, it was agreed that the parties should enter into partnership (to continue for a term of twenty-one years) for establishing a repo sitory for breeding horses, sheep, and other cattle, and for selling them there, and for buying and exporting English horses, cows, &c., and selling them in those countries, and for the cultivation of wool, hemp, flax, &c., and the firm was to be called N The New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land Establishment." The capital was to be 24,0001., to be raised in shares of 1,0001. each, of which four shares were to belong to each partner, on each of which he was to pay up im mediately an instalment of 4001., to set the company afloat, except that Thomas, who had no money, was not to be called upon to pay his subscription. It was also agreed that the capital was to be employed in the business ; and, if necessary, six new shares of 1,0001. each might be added, to be held by not more than two persons approved of by the firm, unless the partners themselves thought fit to take them ; and all the pay ments were to be made out of the stock, and further instalments to be paid up when called on ; that Thomas should go out and take possession of the lands on behalf of the partners (who were to hold them as tenants in common in fee), and to take the whole management of the business, under the direction of the company in Lon don, and that Thomas should be allowed 5001 a year by way of salary for his trouble, and 5001. for an outfit ; the repayment of which, however, together with his pro portion of the capital, or the instalments thereof due from him from time to time, should be made out of his share of the profits, which was to be set apart for that purpose. The accounts were to be taken by Thomas every year, with rests ; and that there should be an ap preisement or valuation of the stock, &c. ; and that on the 21st of June in every year, an account, with rests, should be taken by the company at hose, and that the account, when signed by alt the parties, should be binding. The deed contained a pows . r of expel ling, after notice duly served, any of th e ' co - partners who should apply to his own use 100/. or more of the money of the firm, should engage in private speculation, or should beceme insolvent; and there was a power also of expelling Thomas, if he contravened the pro v i s i ons o f the deed. Captain Thomas, in pursuance of this arrange ment, set out for Van Diemen's Land, and arrived there in the month of May or June, 1826; and an or d er o f lo cation was obtained . by him, by virtu e o f w hi c h h e was put in possession of 10,000 acres of land (to which was given the name of " The Cressy Estate"), at a distance of thirty miles from Launceston, and about one hundred miles from Hobart Town. On his leaving this country, Majoribanks and Co., as the agents of the company (who usually assembled at their places of business to advise) had purchased and shipped large quantities of stock and agri cultural implements, and also some cattle, which Thomas took with him. After his arrival there he purchased for the company a farm called " Duncan's Farm," containing 1,530 acres, for 9,0001., in respect of which he drew bills on the company. This land was reclaimed, whereas the company's grant was not. The business went on, and various sums of money were required (amounting to far more than the 1,6001. contributed), as well to meet the bills drawn by Thomas as to pay for articles purchased and sent out, so that it was all outlay and no return at first, and in conse quence of this diappointment began to be felt at home. At last it appeared that Captain Thomas had forgotten ,hie duty, and instead of devoting himself to his btist- S coo Pet Th 4 for alie hp
