IL __ vent -- LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1848. After a contest of unusual earnestness :General ZACHARY TAYLOR, the Conqueror of Mexico, has been elected President of the United States. There is deep cause for congratulation on this result of the struggle between the partizans of the Whig candi date and the Locofoco candidate. The discomfiture of HENRY CAss is an omen of prosperity and a guarantee of quietude for four years, at least, to the North American Republic. Had the consequence of the election been otherwise the New World would have been doomed to a career of agitation, the whole some policy of WASIINOTON abandoned, the egres sion of Pome surpassed, another Texas would have been monopolised, another Oregon carved by the keenness of diplomacy, another California occupied by an army of predatory democrats—the vast territories of the western continent would have been ravaged by the supporters of a system of wholesale annexation. Fortunately, however, for the United States themselves, and for their more immediate neighbours, these pernicious dreams of spoliation have been dissipated by the re velations of the ballot-box. Votes beyond the num bers required to ccnstitute the absolute majority were marked with the name of old " Rough and Ready," attesting the regard of the American citizens for those principles of constitutional probity and pacific administration with which the career of Zacuaar TAYLOR had gradually become identified. The Pre sidential contest among the Anglo-Saxon democrats having terminated, therefore, in this satisfactory re sult, the turmoils, and the jealousies, and the rancours of party warfare have abruptly subsided, and the population of the United States are looking forward with calmness into the perspective of their future government. For the indulgence of those anticipations there re mains ample leisure and opportunity. Until the fourth of the ensuing March the administration of the newly-elected President, ZACHARY TAYLOR, and of the newly-elected Vice-President, MILLARD FILI, MORB ) will not commence. Beyond this, the next House of Representatives will not assemble before the December of 1849—notwithstanding the remote ness of which date, it is already calculated that the majority of the Whig members will prove very con considerable. likely to Some estimates of the proportion exist between the supporters of the Government are, in fact, ranks of the Oppo sitioncharacter, th at of such a microsc o pi c Whig representatives extent of the superiority of the r esntatives is stated a t twenty-three. From th ese circumstances it is mani fest that full time is afforded to th antagonists a of dto p er f ec t before l.reeid t e h n e t the Locofocos to mature their tactics, the scheme of their legislative c • gn expected Congress is inaugurated, and before TAYLOR is installed in his official residence at vit a h_ ington. That the interval which must elapse befor e the arrival, first, of March, and secondly, of December, will not be filled up by the active preparations of the • Whig statesmen and their supporters, we do not in any respect dread, seeing that the chief characteristic of this powerful class of politicians in America is their vigilant and consummate prudence. The pre sent generation of Whig-Republicans will not belie the renown of their ancestors. While the millions of the United States are emerging from the brief and bloodless battle for the Presidency, while they are looking forward with com posure to the :advent of a pacific Administrator like General TAYLOR, it is not surprising that some of the more reflective citizens of the great Trans atlantic Democracy should begin to contrast the tranquillity of the Western with the turbu lence and distraction of the Eastern Hemisphere. The difference of the condition of the American con tinent and the Europ ean continent in 1848 is too striking not to challenge observation, and the deduc tion derivable from that difference is too flattering to the political institutions of the former not to excite the patriotism of its enthusiastic people. Light and darkness, crime and virtue, youth and decrepitude, trance and delirium, are not more opposite to each other, the whole range of history does not afford a more vivid antithesis than that which presents itself to us in the position of affairs in Europe on one hand, and in North America on another. before, however, a dirge can be sung over the former, and a pcean chaunted over the latter ; before unconditional praise can be bestowed on the one and unmitigated condemna tion pronounced upon the other ; before America can be eulogised (as it has been eulogised across the ocean), as containing the model nation and the model govern ment ; before Europe can be scouted (as it has been scouted from the same quarter) as an agglomeration of administrative baseness and popular depravity — some few facts, bearing rather intimately upon the question at issue, should be candidly and studiously borne in recollection. Foremost among these is the circumstance, that while each of the continental races of Europe is striving individually to conquer its inde pendence without enc roaching upon any of their re spective dominions, the model Republic has been availing itself of the shallowest pre texts to aggrandize its ewn dominions by incursions upon the dominions of the contiguous countries. True it is that the despot of Prussia, screening himself under a masquerade of liberality, endeavoured, by force of arms, to rob the crown of Denmark of its hereditary appenage of Schleswig— true, again, that tyranny strove to trample out the germs of freedom sprouting up among the Posenese, the Lombards, and the Hungarians ; but in each instance the cries of execration which resounded from the surrounding nations caused the crowned aggressors to desist in their unholy efforts at repres sion. With the model Republic of the United States it has been wholly otherwise. There the wiles of diplomatic chicane and the audacity of mili tary expeditions have been sedulously directed to the acquisition of new provinces, to the subjugation of unoffending races, to the massacre of the patriots of Mexico, and to the desecration of the golden halls of the Montezumas. While again French democracy has, even in the agony of her own struggles for existence, decreed the abolition of slavery in all her possessions, American democracy clings with the tenacity of fanaticism to the bloody sway exercised over the negro population by her free and enlightened citizens I The Waldo'. proviso is as flagrantly repudiated by the legislators of the United States as ever were the local bonds of Illinois:or Pennsylvania. It were well consequently, if the journalists of North America, before exulting so vain-gloriously over the virtues and eminence of the United States, when compared with the vices and degradation of Europe, would simply put two and two together and see whether or not they come to four. Stones of abuse hurled from glass-houses are liable to provoke reprisals ; and marvellous, indeed does it appear to us, that, while our Transatlantic contemporaries are exulting over the pacific character of their republican institu tions, the principal representative of that pacific po licy is the very man who overran with his soldiers the mountains and savannahs of Mexico, and advanced with fire and sword from Monterey to the capital. Old ZACHARY is not the least anomaly, amongst all the huge and multifarious anomalies of the United States. The condition of Ireland still constitutes the chief difficulty of the British Government. It is, however, no longer the political, but the social condition of that unhappy land, that awakens the Ministerial anxiety, and forms the subject for discussion at Cabinet Councils. The agitation that so long prevailed throughout the country no longer exists. The fierce excitement that might have been witnessed in every district has subsided. The aspect of the political horizon is no longer, threatening. But a moreformid able danger has arisen. The wail of misery and distress is to be heard from every quarter. The resident gentry are impoverished, the occupying tenants pauperised, and the labouring population reduced to the most melancholy state of destitution. The entire resources of the country is scarcely sufficient to feed its poverty. Little remains either for the use of the proprietors, or the satisfaction of the charges and incumbrances by which they are overwhelmed. All classes look to England as the only quarter from which they can hope for aid and assistance in their emergency. There is no possibility of any beneficial change un less the iniitative is taken on this side of St. George' s Channel. The ordeal to which Ireland has been subjected during the last three years has paralyzed the energies and exhausted the resources of the nation. It has sunk into a state of exhaustion, and is unable to arouse itself from the stupor into which it has fallen. Some slight restoratives, some trifling temporary assistance judiciously applied, will, however, awaken it from its lethargy, and restore it to a state of health and activity. England should render the required help to her fallen sister. It is not, however, by the expenditure of large sums in maintaining the population in unproductive idleness, but in developing the industry of the country by directing the enormous mass of labour into beneficial channels, by providing useful employment for every person able and willing to work, whether male or female, juvenile or adult. There are ample means of affording that employment. No country in the world possesses so many opportunities, so wide a field, for industrial employment, and in none have these resources been so deplorably neglected and misapplied. This can no longer be the case; for our own sakes—if for no higher motive than the mere selfish and personal one—it is essential that Ireland should be rescued from the melancholy position in which she is placed, that she should be elevated in the scale of nations. We have long dwelt on the means by which this desideratum might be attained without any ultimate loss to this country. The reclamation of the waste lands is one of the most obvious that suggests itself to every mind the moment the question is started. Six millions and a half of acres remain wholly waste and uncultivated, of which, according to the most unquestionable authority, nearly four millions could be reclaimed, so as to return fully ten per cent. on the amount expended, and the whole of that outlay would be applied in payment of wages for labour that now remains utterly useless and unproductive. Nay, the very able-bodied paupers, who now crowd the several workhouses, or clamor for out-door relief, could, without the outlay of an additional shilling, bring thousands of acres into cultivation, and materially increase the food of the coun try. The Government fully recognised the national advantages derivable from this source, and in the programme put forward by the Premier in the commencement of the session of 1847, it was stated that 1,500,0001. sterling was to be applied in that manner, and that a Bill for the purpose would b e introduced in the course of the then session of Par liament. These favourable intentions were, however, unhappily not carried out, difficulties were said to have arisen that prevented the realization of the hopes then excited. The impolicy of interfering with " pri vate enterprise" and " private property" was the ar gument put forward to justify the disappointment of the fondly-cherished expectations of the country . The fallacy of that principle has been well exposed in a letter which will be found in another part of our impression this day. Mr. RIGBY WASON, many of whose valued communications have already appeared in our columns, has again directed his at tention to the subject, and purposes to address a series of Lett ers to Lord J. RUSSELL, for the purpose of showing one of the g " that the re c l ama ti on o f t h e waste l an d s b eet , means of alleviati ng th e soc i a l condition of Ireland: We gl a dl y h a il so a bl e and energetic a collaboraetxepuerrim ,whose practical expe rience and succes s f u l experiments in reclaimi ng vas t tracts of land in another Part of en title his opinions to the country peculiar weight. p r i_ v ate enterprise is now paraly ze d — the condition of the country is such that it cannot be brought i n t o operation save by some other agency ; and it 1s the That State alone that can supply the motive power. Tha property has its duties as well as its right s i s now an admitted axiom, and it cannot for a moment be ar gued that the possersor of thousands of barren acres is justified in permitting them to lie waste and un productive, while the country languishes for want of employment, and the neighbouring proprietors ar e suffering from his neglect and apathy, by being compelled to support many families that might be provided for if he discharged his duties to society—. the essential conditions on which he was permitted to. hold that very property. :The rules that may be very properly acted on under ordinary circumstances, must be altered when a pressing emergency arises. The diet suited for a healthy man will not be good for a patient suffering under a severe disease. The present condition o 1 Ireland, is bad inde e d, And gi powerful remedy must be applied, if we desire to restore her to a sound and healthy state. The Spanish General, the Marquis DE lIIJOSA DE ALAVA, left London on Sunday for Paris en rcute to Madrid. The Noble Marquis was sent to this country some months ago by the Spanish Govern ment, as chief of a military scientific commission for the corps of artillery and engineers, with the view of examining our naval and mili tary establishments, and collecting information on the progress of our national institutions. Our Govern ment, with that enlarged liberality which constantly characterises its policy, whatsoever may be its rela tions with foreign countries, has readily afforded to the gallant General all necessary facility for the fulfilment of his object. This distinguished noble man is one of the most eminent mathematicians Spain can boast of. We are informed that whilst he re sided in London he has commanded unanimous respect and admiration by his high scientific attain ments. The Royal Society, the Astronomical, the Geographical, the Geological, and the Antiquarian Societies, which the Marquis DE IchrosA constantly visited since their re-opening, have vied with one another by inviting him to their evening meetings, and many of their more distin guished members were greatly gratified to make his personal acquaintance. In the last meeting of the Society of Arts, a beautiful mathematical instrument, invented by the enlightened General, and which bears his name—" Hijosa's Angle Trisector," was ex hibited in the saloon of the society, and was much admired by our renowned engineers, Mr. BEUNEL and Mr. FARE; for its simplicity and useful application. We regret that the termination of this scientific Spanish mission will deprive us so soon of the presence of a gentleman who is so able to enrich the scientific world with the results of his valuable discoveries. We are, however, glad to understand that he has entered into correspondence with several of our scientific institutions, and that he win It,i waltz Go &new, uu LIL 3 return to pain, tne pub lications containing the results of his mathematical labours. We are rejoiced to find that although our diplo matic relations may be suspended with Spain our scientific relations are as intimate as ever. Visits such as this of the Marquis DE HIJOSA cannot but be of advantage to the people of both countries as they dispel those prejudices which rulers are but too apt to exploiter to their own advantage. We this day publish an important document on a subject of national justice, in which the public cha racter of England is concerned—being a letter to Sir Jonx CAM HORHOUSR, Bart., President of the Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India, by RUNGO BAPOGEE, the representative in this country of the Raja of SATTARA. Much as this question has been hitherto discussed, both in Parliament and at the India House, still we think that the arguments and facts adduced by RUNGO BAPOJEE are so forcible, so clear, and so convincing, that the reader can come to no other conclusion than that the late RAJA has been most shamefully treated by the officers of the East India Company. Let us, ,however, hope that justice, so long denied to the RAJA, may yet be done to his legal and natural representative. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. No authentic intelligence had been received as to the whereabout of the POPE. The Bien Public says he has arrived at Marseilles, another rumour was that the Government had received a telegraphic dispatch announcing his arrival at Malta, while some persons affirmed that he had not quitted Rome at all. The fact however of his flight appears to be beyond doubt. The _Lyons Gazette publishes the following extract from the Marseilles Courier, of the 29th : " The Mentor steamer, commanded by Captain Le veque, which entered this port yesterday, having left Naples on the 25th, and Civita Vecchia on the 26th, has brought the important news that on Sunday, the 26th instant, Pope Pius IX. has quitted the Roman States on board the Tenare steamer, to come to Mar seilles or to Toulon." The Lyons Gazette also states that several travel lers had arrived in that place, who had left Rome on the 24th, before the departure of his HOLINESS was known. At that time the citizens were in a state of great agitation. The Univers publishes the following letter : " Paris, Dec. 2, 1848. " Mr. Editor,—Having learnt that people have re marked on my having abstained in the vote relative to the expedition to Civita Vecchia, I believe it to be my duty to declare that, at the same time that I am determined to support all the measures which may be required to guarantee efficaciously the liberty and authority of the Sovereign Pontiff, I was not able to support with my vote a military demonstration which appeared to me to be dangerous oven to the sacred rights which it was in tended to protect, and of a nature to compromise the peace of Europe.—Receive, sir, the assurance, &c., " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." On this letter the Universe thus comments : " The Government, according to the language of General Cavaignac and M. I)ufaure, only thought of protecting the person of the Holy Father, and guaran teeing his individual liberty. In this letter, M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte speaks of the liberty and the autho rity of the Sovereign Pontiff. We hope that he inserted this last word designedly, and that, in case of need, ho will not forget it." Marshal l3cGEAup has at length made up his mind to vote for Louis NAPOLEON. He has written a letter to the Constitutionnel, in which he says, "I join in opinion with the mass of the men of order, and I de clare that I shall vote for Louis NAPOLEON BONA PAP.TE. The false interpretation put on the words in my former letter oblige me to make this declaration." M. BERRYER, M. MONTALEMBERT, and M. MOLE, also, it is said, intend to vote for Louis NAPOLEON, as does M. CREMIEUX. An electoral committee, appointed by the inha bitants of the quarter St. Justache (Paris), held a meeting on Friday night to elect their president and secretary. 19 members were present, of whom 16 declared themselves in favour of General EUGENE CAVAIGNAC, and 3 for M. LEDRU ROLLIN. A general assembly of the delegates of the sections of the city of Lyons, and of the rural cantons, was held in that city on Friday last, when it appeared that the sections of Lyons gave 81 votes to General CAVAIGNAC, and but 6 to Prince Louis NAPOLEON. Six out of ten of the cantons outside the walls gave 143 votes to General CAVAIGNAC, and but 70 to Prince Louis. Two of the four cantons, which had not elected delegates, had written to declare that they would vote unanimously in favour of General CA VAIGNAC. It is stated, further, that General CAVAIGNAC'S intervention for the protection of the POPE has created an immense feeling in favour of the General amongst the clergy and the religious portion of the inhabitants of Lyons.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY ETENINCT, DECEMBER 5, I 848,: GERNIAZY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Prussian National Assembl , met at Branden burg on the Ist instant. BRUNNECK took the Presi dent's chair at eleven o'clock. Afer the call of the names had been concluded, the Pesident announced the numbers to be 260 present, and 15 absent but agreeing; which altogether gale 275 acquiescent, and 131 absent. M. SCIINEIDEI then mounted the tribune, and read a paper agreed upon by about forty of the Left Centre, to the effect that they had come forward because Government had manifested the in tention of calling on their substitutes ; and that if UNRUH, PHILLIPS, and others of the Left Centre, were not present, it was becaus3 they remained at Berlin, seeking to persuade the remainder of the Left Centre and Left to follow them to Brandenburg. M. PARICENS then proposed that, in order to give time to M. UNRUH to move, the sitting should be adjourned until Monday. This question being put, was negatived by 145 to 113. SCHNEIDER then returned to the tribune, aad declared that, as the proposition of adjournment was not agreed to, he and his friends were resolved to retire, which they did forthwith. In the midst of the up roar and confusion arising from this proceeding, M. BaustarAuK rose and stated that the name of M. UNRUH had been coupled with that of " President," whereas M. UNRUH was not President, and could not be so until re-elected. M. BRUNNECK then proposed that the House should proceed to the nomination of a President and a bureau, but as, on counting the slips of paper dropped into the ballot urn, only 172 names were found, M. BRUNNECK declared that the election must be null. Whereupon M. SIMONS proposed that the Assembly should request Ministers to convoke the substitutes of all those members who had retired, this retreat being tantamount to abdication of their seats. This being pat to the vote, 73 voted in favour of the motion, 9 against, and 82 abstained. M. BRUNNECK then declared that he would communicate the result to the Ministers, and the House broke up amidst i"describable confusion. vn the zo cis till,. Lae Board of Aldermen of Berlin proceeded to Potsdam, to present a congratulatory address to the KING, on the 25th anniversary of his marriage. In the course of his reply the KING said— " You have spoken about your loyalty ; I shall now speak of mine. Under different circumstances, loyalty assumes a different aspect. The orders which I have been obliged to issue of late were given with a heavy heart, but according to the dictates of duty and con. science. It was for you that I was acting, an order to free my good old city of Berlin from men of blood, tyranny, and slavery. Nevertheless, be convinced that I shall not retract that which I have promised—that I fulfil my promises. My support will never be wanting to you." The KING added, " The late address from the alder men to their fellow-citizens is an historical document, and is one of the best I have ever read. I am fully aware that the gentlemen of the aldermanic board may just now be of very great service." About the time that this scene was passing in Potsdam the mill tary were ransacking the house of Herr IIILDEN.. HAGEN, one of the secretaries of the National As sembly, and seizing all his papers. BERLIN, DEC. 2.—The residence of the Deputy HILDENMAGEN is now occupied by the military ; th e y were an hour and a half gaining admittance per force. Of course every thing has been searched, and the papers seized. Two carts full of them have been taken away, under military escort. M. Hin- DENHAGEN had under his charge the bureau of the Deputies assembled at Berlin. The Gazette du Rhin et Moselle reports a serious affray at Coblentz on the 30th. A large number of individuals belonging to the Landwehr and the war reserve had convened a meeting for that evening in the Coling Hall. But just as the sitting was about to be opened, a number of soldiers of the 26th regi ment of infantry, who had assembled before the doors with sabres in their bands, began grossly ill treating the persons who were repairing to the place of rendezvous. An affray was the consequence, i n which several individuals, soldiers and others, were seriously wounded, and some killed. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Nov. 29.—The Wiener Zeitung of this day, contains an address of the communal council, in the name of the city, to Baron JELLACHICII and to General CZARICII, thanking them for their timely appearance for the relief of the city, and their gal lant and humane concurrence with Prince WINDISCU.- GRATZ, in the restoration of order. The inha bitants are preparing an address to the EMPEROR praying him to return and again take up his residence in his true and loyal city of Vienna. The following is the actual amount of the force to be sent to Hungary :- Ist. From Vienna, 45 battalions of Infantry ; 1,300 men ; 21 single companies of 200 men each ; 59 squadrons of cavalry of 150 men ; 14 companies of pontooneers ; 238 cannon of various calibre. 2d. From Croatia 30,000 men regular Infantry. 3d. From Cracow the corps of General SCIILICK, 8,000 men, and the corps of General SIMMIC, 6,000 men. 4th. From Styria the troops of General NUGENT, 7,000 men. _ . _ sth. From Transylvania, the troops of General PUCTINA, 8,000 men. 6th. From Servia the Woywocle-supplicaz, with 15,000 men. The corps of Prince WINDISCHGRATZ forr..s the basis of the combined attack, which will be made simultaneously from various points. Great prepara tions for defence are making in Hungary. The Allgemeine Zeitung says— " In Eger, where, within the last few days, the re presentatives from Bohemia have had a meeting with the German Representatives, it is said that an address was handed to many of the Austrian Members of the German National Assembly, which it is reported that the Assembly of Representatives had forwarded to the German Parliament, as the latter were said to be uni versally favourable to the proceedings going on in favour of the German Constitution. " The question upon the sections 2 and 3, which wish for the personal union with Austria, had been referred in Eger to a committee. " This committee has put forth an address to such of the German-Austrian deputies as were in Frankfort, which pronounced that a consid, rable portion of the German population in the Imperial States were undoubtedly in favour of the personal union, but that it might be still desirable that a second deliberation should take place, by which such a state of things might be arrived at as would do away with the necessity of a separation from Austria, by which the material interests of the latter empire would be violated, and which would also be op posed to the duty she owed her subjects. He wbo wishes for the greatness of Austria,' says the author of the report of the commission, must be convinced that she cannot stand without Germany, if she would continue to be free. With Germany we must stand or fall. It has been said that we Germans in Austria form the link which binds the east to the West; but I say to you that without Germany we are not the link, but really the dust which will be trodden under foot.' Violent appro bation followed these and similar statements, which we recommend to the notice of the Vienna press, who now seem to :nake so light of the dependence of Austria and Germany upon each other, without considering that the importance which belongs to themselves can only be acknowledged when Austria and Germany are one. After a discussion of the foregoing proposition, the whole of which went to show that Austria must lean for support on Germany, the address brought forward in the sitting of November 23 was put and carried, and was forwarded to the National Assembly. It appears the Rumburg is to be the place of Assembly next year." The EMPEROR has accepted the resignation of Baron WESSENBURGII of the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, DEC. 4.—The Chamber of Representa tives has commenced the general discussion of the budget for foreign affairs. By the propositions of Government, the budget for 1849 would be 500,000 f. 66c. less than the budget for 1848, and if the reduc tions proposed by the central sections be adopted, this reduction will be 625,843 f. 64c. This question is expected to give rise to considerable debate.— Brussels Papers, Dec. 4. RUSSIA. The 4ifanheina Zeitung, in mentioning a report which stated that a treaty had been concluded between the Russians and SCHAMYL, gives an extract from a letter that had been received from the Polish border, to the following effect : "In the German papers the news has gone abroad that Russia had concluded a treaty with the Caucasian people, by which their freedom and independence is ac• knowledged. I can, on the contrary, assure you that these reports require strong confirmation. The last letters from Tithe, at least, say that the position of the contending parties remained entirely unaltered. The above report may have arisen from the fact of some of the Daghestan tribes who had succumbed to the power of Russia had made a proposal for a treaty to Prince Woronzow, and also from the fact that a body of troops, some 5,000 strong, formerly stationed in the Caucasus, had received orders to march to Poland." The Russian papers now give an official report, which throws some light upon the last expedition to the Caucasus. From widely-disseminated reports we also learn that SCHAMYL, on the 10th of Septem ber, with an imposing force, had repaired, during the feast of Achti, to the Kamurschen border, where he had attacked General Rolm, who had driven bins back ; but being subsequently attacked himself by a heavy body of troops, a severe action took place. The Russians give their loss in this action at 15 killed and 152 wounded, and estimate the loss of the enemy at 300 in killed alone. Mr. W. J. Fox, M.P., and Lord Seymour had interviews with Piz George Gm.. ITALY. The following is the letter addressed to the Marquis SACCIIETTI by the PorE, announcing the intention of his Holiness to quit Rome : " Marquis Sacchetti,—We confide to your well. known prudence and integrity to inform the Minister Galletti of our departure, authorising him and the other Ministers not only to protect the palaces, but much more the per sons therein, who were entirely ignorant of our resolu tion. We take the more interest in their safety, because, we again repeat, they were entirely ignorant of our in tention.—Signed Pius IX., Nov. 24, 1848. Counter signed G. GALLETTI, Minister of the Interior, Nov. 25, 1848." The Abbe ROSMINI has not left Rome, nor, it is said, does he intend quitting the Eternal City. The Gazetta di Roma of the 23d announces that the new Ministers have given up half their salaries to the public treasury. The POPE was, it is said, accompanied in his flight by Cardioal LAMBRUSCIIINI. The whole of the corps diplomatique left Rome when the departure of the POPE became known. MAinAui arrived in Rome on the 23d. When the last accounts left General ZUCCIII was at Bologna, and General GARIBALDI at Ravenna: It is said to be in cantemplation to erect Lombardy and Venice into an independent kingdom for the Duke of LEIICHTENBERG• The majority of the Lombards themselves would prefer the Duke of LEUCHTENBERG to CHARLES ALBERT. The Milan Gazette of the 24th contains an official denial, on thepart of Marshal RADETZKY, that he ever wrote the letter imputed to him, addressed to the Archduke Lours, who has for some time past retired from public affairs. The - Alba:of Florence states that great agitation reigned at Naples on the 26th, and that an outbreak was hourly expected. It was believed that the Nea politan Ministry had resigned, and that they would be succeeded by M. SAVARESE, who would give the Portfolio of Finance to the Prince of ANGRI. A rumour was prevalent that the King of NAPLES, had declared war against Rome and Tuscany. The elec tions at Florence, which had been interrupted on the 22d, were to be recommenced on the 27th. The Concordia, Turin journal, of the 29th ult. deplores the departure of Plus IX., who, it says, abandons Rome and Italy, and confides their destinies to foreign h.ndc journal hopes tnat tno Ministry and people of Rome will be equal to the circumstances, and prove that the person of the PONTIFF was not absolutely necessary to the temporal administration of his dominions. EGYPT. IBRAHIM PACHA died on the the 10th ult. from a pulmonary affection. ABBAS DACHA, his nephew and successor, who is about forty years of age, was absent at the time, on a pilgrimage to Mecca, and until his return, his uncle, SAID DACHA, acts as Regent. MEHEMET ALI enjoys good bodily health, but is perfectly imbecile. HAYMARKET THEATRE. The best play Sheridan Knowles has ever yet pro duced—The Hunchbach—was acted here last evening with Mrs. Charles Kean as Julia, and Mr. Charles Kean as Sir Thomas Clifford. Mrs, Charles Kean acted very finely —the early simplicity and devotion to Master Walter was charming, as the latter scenes were ter rible in their impassioned intensity. The confiictions of pride with the tenderer emotions were truthfully delineated, and the burst of power in the famous scene with Master Walter in the fifth act, beginning with the line— " Show me some way to 'scape these nuptials! Do it!" was equal to the finest tragic acting we have witnessed, and akin to the withering passion of Rachel in the ce lebrated curse in Les Hyraces. Sir Thomas Clifford was acted by Mr. Charles Kean with a refinement of style and a depth of poetical appreciation which elevated the character far above its accustomed exposition. Mr. Charles Kean has shown his judgment in choosing the character of Sir Thomas Clifford instead of that of Master Walter. Although hitherto considered as a mere walking gentleman, because, when the piece was first produced, Sheridan Knowles, who could not act Sir Thomas Clifford, chose to cast himself for Master Walter, Sir Thomas Clifford is, next to Julia, the great part of the piece, and exquisitely did Mr. Charles Kean develop the hitherto unappreciated beauties of the character. He left the heavy Master Walter to Mr. Creswick. Mr. Webster was exceedingly quaint and amu,,ing as Modus, and Miss Julia Bennet was as expiegle as could be desired in Helen. The prin cipal performers were called before the curtain and rap turously applauded. The house was crowded. MARYLEBONE THEATRE. A comic drama, called '1 he Witch of Windermere, by Mr. Charles St:lby, was produced at this theatre last night. Its dramatic pretensions do not amount to much, but there is a broad surface for the purposes of Mr. Buckstone, who manages to keep the two acts alive by his amusing personation of an uncouth rustic, striving to be genteel in order to please a village beauty who has vague notions of refinement, and been especially smitten with the mincing fopperies of a London livery servant, to the prejudice of her rough but honest admirer. Buckstone's jealous paroxysms and in continent attempts at suicide are droll enough, and re vive many a hearty laugh upon an old basis. He is well supported by Mrs. Fitzwilliam, who plays the coquette with her accustomed piquancy, and exhibits much natural feeling at the end, when the rustic restores himself to her geed graces by an unexpected act of heroism The pi.,:ee was extremely well received. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. THE PUMBOLTON ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS. There was a private performance of this new company of " Darkies" at the St. James's Theatre last evening, and judging from what we heard we imagine that these new aap.rants for public favour will be even more suc cessful than their predecessors. They have better voices and are better musicians, and consequently in the CGIl• certcd pieces are much more effective. They gave the " Pham tom Chorus" from the Sonnambula most effectively, and were loudly encored in,it. " Rosa Lee," a sentimental nigger song was beautifully given by White, and was also encored, as was the " Niggar's History of the World," which was given with much humorous unction by Parker. " Stop that knocking at the door" and the " Coon Hunt" were also admirably sung. The instruments are two banjo, an accordion, tambourine, and bones. The Tam bourine is a glorious fellow, superior even to the tambourine of the original company, but Bones, although very good, does not quite come up to Pell. The per formances were very amusing, and the audience ap peared delighted with them. We predict a great suc cess for the Dumbolton Serenaders. BANVARD'S PANORAMA of the MISSIS. SIPPI and MISSOURI RIVERS. The largest painting in the world is now on ex hibition at the Egyptian Hall, Picadilly. It is a moving; panorama of the scenery of the Mississipi and Missouri rivers, during a course of upwards of 3,000 miles, and it covers three miles of canvas. The painter is an American, John Banvard, who determined to pro duce the largest painting in the world, and who has suc ceeded. The painting, although occasionally somewhat coarse, is exceedingly effective. The atmospheric phe nomena are delineated in a manner marvellously true to nature, and the scene of the Prairie on fire is most sub lime. Mr. Banvard himself is in attendance, and as the panorama moves on explains the locality exhibited in the most quaint and humorous style imaginable. His Yankee twang is delicious. SHIPWRECK OP THE ARRIETTA.—The above named barque was lost on Monday night last, when almost within sight of her destination. She sailed from Cuba on the 13th of October, laden with copper ore, for Swansea. She made Lundy, Caldy, and the Helwicks " all well." About midnight the vessel struck the lower edge of the Mixen (a well-known shoal a short distance off the Mumble Head). The master, finding that the vessel would not come off; deemed it expedient to get out the long boat. As the crew were endeavouring to get into the boat a heavy sea drove her up against the ship's bows, by which John M`Dougal, the second mate, was knocked overboard and perished. The deceased was a married man, his family residing in Swansea. The master and rest of the crew (thirteen in number) then proceeded in the long boat through the Sound into the Mumbles. Here they met the Dragon Fly, Neath steam-tug, the master of which evinced the greatest rea diness and alacrity to assist, and no time was lost in reaching the vessel, with the view, if practicable, of getting her off. On approaching the barque, however, it was found that the sea was breaking over her, and that the steamer could not, without imminent risk of sacri ficing the lives of all on board, get sufficiently near to be of service. The attempt was consequently abandoned, and the crew made the best of their way to Swansea Harbour. The vessel has since become a complete wreck, the whole coast being strewed with portions of the unfortunate craft. Tho Arrietta was consigned to the Cobre Company at this port, with 450 tons o f copper ore • s he was the property of Sir J. Pirie and M r . L ang, and is believed to be partially insured. The loss is esti mated at 8,000/. Neither the master nor crew were able to save any portion of their clothes or other property. M`Dougal's body has not yet been recovered. WALWORTIL—Last night the annual meeting of the South-West London Auxiliary to the Church of Eugland Young Men's Society was held in the Lecture Hall, Carter-street, Walworth. The Venerable Arch deacon Hare, one of the vice-presidents, presided, and the meeting was addressed by the chairman, the Rev. J. W. Watson, the Rev. J. R. Foot, Mr. Cummins, and others. It appeared from the report that this auxiliary has been established about three years, during which time, in ad• dition to providing extensive means of information on subjects connected with the history and defence of the Church of England, it has contributed nearly 170/. tothe Pastoral Aid Society, the Colonial Church Society, the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews, and the Church Missionary Society for Africa and the East. A reading-room and library containing 1,400 volumes have been established for the use of members of the parent association; and the report stated that it was in contemplation to provide similar advantages for the auxiliaries. The proceedings occupied several hours. The chimpanzee that was exhibited lately at Wombwell's menagerie, we understand, is dead, owing to the climate of England b e i ng so much colder than that of Sierra Leone, of which it was a native. The body is now in the possession of Mr. Waterton of Wal ton Hall, and is about to be added to the splendid mu seum of that gentleman,--.Durham Advertiser, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 7,000 bales, principally American. The market was very quiet, at previous quotations.—ln Railway Shares there was but little business doing, and without altera tion in prices. The state of the mercantile markets in the metropolis is still rather dull, and a disposition to ask fuller prices has checked the sale of raw cotton, as well as of manu factures, at Liverpool and Manchester. In review of last month's operations Messrs. Wilkinson and Jovves bury inform us that:—" During the early part of the month the Foreign and Colonial markets were very much depressed, owing to the large quantities brought forward by importers, who manifested every desire to realise, even at some concession on ruling rates, without, however, inducing dealers to purchase, except for their immediate wants ; after wards a better feeling became prevalent, which, without establishing any advance in prices, caused a considerable business to be done in sugar, and also to a smaller ex tent in dyes. During the past week the same improve ment has not continued general, and prices have re sumed their down;,vard tendency, cochineal and lac dye being almost the only articles which maintain their po sition. The arrivals continue large, and stocks are still heavier tha❑ at the corresponding period of last year, but are not excessive, when compared with the increased consumption." The letters and papers per steamer America, have been delivered, and appear to give general satisfaction. The excitement of the election being over, it is con cluded that business affairs will flow on in the usual channel, and the election of Gen. Taylor is certainly a matter for congratulation. In a report dated from New York at the latest period it is stated that— " The Stock Market, during the past week, has been more buoyant than we have noticed before for a long time. Prices have in many instances improved, and the sales have been unusually large. A portion of this advance has been caused, no doubt, by the relief expe rienced in the Money Market, and partly by the changes which have taken place in the prospective value of some securities for investment. Government Stocks have been in demand at better prices, and the large amounts weekly issued at Washington, on foreign accounts, have given holders hero more confidence. The favourable reports which have been put in circu lation, upon semi-official authority, relative to the future wants of the Government, have had a ten dency to improve prices. The fancies' have been more active than usual, and a disposition to purchase on time, so as to have contracts mature in the early part of .Taaa, b.a been manifested. So far as Government Securities are concerned, there is every probability cf the improvement being sustained, but as regards the ' fancies' it does not look so encouraging, as there is in reality no basis for it. We have ;a long and dull winter before us, and the season invariably has an influence upon such sensitive securities. Money may be more abundant than it has been for some time past, but the absence of the proper class of speculators makes it diffi cult to sustain prices. The brokers have to carry the bulk of all the ' fancies' in the street, and it is likely some of them will break down under the burden before the close of the winter." The value of merchandise and amount of specie im ported into the New York district, exclusive of that sent to warehouse, and the amount of duties on the same, for the week ending the 17th ult., in each of the past three years, were as annexed:- 1846. 1847. 1848. Free goods ... 100,356 201,250 42,422 Dutiable goods Total merchandise 5593,440 1,141,586 1,221,002 Specie . _ Duties received Rates of duty The Canadian winter had commenced, but the navi gation still remained open. The ships were getting away with all possible dispatch. The advices from the Continent, received to-day, are regarded as favourable, and our Money Market feels the influence accordingly. The Funds are strongly sup ported by the speculators for a rise, and it is conceived that the large transactions for the " put," during De cember, of Consols at 87i and for which per cent. has been given, are connected with operations for ad vanced rates, those who have bought largely for time, being anxious, probably, to protect themselves against a serious revulsion. One per cent. only would be the extent of loss, ,where parties bought and "put" at the same prices. If they have done the latter only, they can gain but by a fall of about one per cent., and should the market rise they lose their a per cent. and commission. Consols have been BTh a for Money, and 87 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been at 41s. to 445. premium, and India Bonds at 38s. premium. East India Stock has risen to 240 and 241. Bank Stock is firm at 188 k to 190. The New Three• and-a Quarter per Cents. .have been 86: 1 1 and the Three per Cents. 86k The election of General Cavaignac will be hailed here, both in monetary and mercantile circles, with much satisfaction, and it is conceived that the Red Repub licans by voting for Ledru Rollin will assist his cause. The Foreign Market has been very quiet again, Spanish Three per Cents. have been 244 i; Portuguese Four per Cents. have been nominally 24 to 25; and Mexican 211 to 4. Peruvian are marked 36k; Vene zuela, 14i; and Buenos Ayres, 20g. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. have been 471 to 47i. Railway Shares are firm, although at present exceed-. ingly quiet, and far from realising their fair value. An improvement, we still feel persuaded, will occur early next year. Midland, North British, and Eastern Counties are better. ONE Plth:ES OF lUSITISII FUNDS. O'CLOCK CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 188% 3 por Cent. Reduced Arms B6 lBil 86 )i , 3 per Cent.
