and ounces according as you required them. I encou raged you to make improvements in your farms, and as sisted you with all the means in my power; and was it for doing so you assaulted me on the high road, in early day, with intent to take away my life? I was armed at the time. I had this pistol which I now hold in my hand, and would have shot the fellow down, but that I bad it in an inside pocket, not expecting an attack. When I shook off my outside coat and mufflers the fellow and his comrade were too far distant for me to hit them. Now, I tell you, I will go down amongst you, but for the future I ,shall go armed, yes, to the teeth, and compel you to pay your rent. And I tell you fur " ther, you shall never get one shilling allowance until you drag that ruffian to justice; you have him secreted, and you know where he is. Not one of you but owes me from four to ten half-years' rent—can you deny this? " A Voice—We cannot. " Mr. Moore resumed—Other tenants,' poorer than you, have paid up their rents, and for my leniency to you this is the return I met. Since last June sessions I bad these orders of the court in my possession (producing a bundle of decrees), to distrain for rent, but I would not put them into execution. No; I did not like to take your cows and your pigs; I pre ferred waiting until you would dispose of your crops, that you might pay me up by little and little; and now that you are disposing of them, and that I go to seek for payment of some portion of year debts—for a land lord must live as well as another man—you attempt to murder me. Ido not speak of my exertions in your behalf, and of my forbearance, to earn applause, but I do it in order that the public may judge of your in gratitude. " (Hr. Moore was here interrupted by exclamations similar to those above; the tenantry declaring they 'al ways found him kind and indulgent.) " Mr. Moore—The outrage of which I complain i 3 a disgrace to your neighbourhood. You thought to palm it upon the wretched creatures of Mudwall-row; but they never did it—they knew nothing about it—they are wholly innocent of it. That disgraceful and murderous act was concocted in your Ribbon Lodges—at night, when honest men should be sleeping in their beds. If you want to shoot me, give me a chance for my life, and I will stand, out before you. I will face the bullet of any man, only let him give me a man's chance. You had your men ready, and you hired them. One of them you have at present covered; now, unless you bring forward this fellow, and deliver him into the hands of the authorities, I will put every one of these decrees into force before twenty-tour hours. lam now ready to receive rent from amongst you who are ready to pay. " Mr. Moore then retired into the office; some few followed, apparently , to settle their accounts, but the majority went away. ' SIR CHARLES NAPIER. The following letter has been received from the hero of Sinde, in reply to a vote of thanks from the Royal Agricultural Society, for the munificent donation of 200 L, which he placed at their disposal last year, through the instrumentality of Captain ,Pitt Kennedy, for the promotion of practical agricultural instruction in Ire land:— " Cheltenham, Nov. 8, 1848. " Sir,—l beg that you will give my respectful thanks to the council of your society, for the obliging letter which you wrote to me in the name of the members. "I also have to thank you for the balance-sheet of the practical instructors, which you were so kind as to forward to me. The only thing that does not look well in it is, the low amount of subscription to a plan from which such good results have arisen, and from which so much greater may still be expected. "Your obedient humble servant, "CHARLES NAPIER, Lieut.-General. " Edward Bullen, Esq., Secretary, &c." DEATH OF MR. MANSFIELD, PROPRIETOR OP THE " DUBLIN EVENING PAcLET."—We deeply regret to have to announce the death of Nicholas Murray Mans field, the much-respected proprietor of the Dublix Elm*. ing Pachet, which occurred last evening, after a short but painful illness. DUBLIN. SUNDAY.—The-Lord-Lieutenant is expected in this city on Thursday next, on his return from England. Letters from Clonmel, received this morning, state that the excitement caused by the arrests at the Wilder ness, near that town, had entirely died away. The Tipperary Free Press of yesterday says:— •' An investigation into the circumstances of the case was held on yesterday (Friday), in the gaol, and we understand it resulted in the magistrates forwarding a recommendation to Government to admit tin parties out on bail." There are further accounts of evictions of tenantry in Limerick and Clare. CLONMEL, Nov. 11, Six o'CLocr. Arrangements hare been made for sending the State prisoners to Dublin, at half-past six o'clock, on Monday morning next. A mail coach with four horses has been provided for the conveyance of Messrs. O'Brien, Meagher, M'Manus, and O'Dono hoe ; and five four-horse cars belonging to Bianconi's establishment have been engaged for conveying a hundred of the police force. The coach and cars are to be admitted to the gaol yard to-morrow evening after dusk, in order that as little tumult a 3 possible may be excited, and the horses are to be in readiness at six o'clock on Monday morning. A special train will leave Thurles with the prisoners at twelve o'clock precisely, and precau tionary measures have been taken to prevent any malicious derangement of the railway in the mean time. The cortege from this will be followed by a troop of dragoons. A recruiting party has been parading the streets of this town all the afternoon, with drums and fifes, and the usual accompaniment of party-coloured stripes, but they do not appear to have succeeded in decoying any of the natives to enlist. The shades of evening, however, may be more propitious, when the hearts of the rustic pa triot•, mellowed by a few sprinklings of " mountain dew," will incline them to listen with an attentive ear to the glorious recital of Sergeant Hoolahan's campaigns, and regard with wistful eye the bright shilling that glistens in the palm of his all-bountiful hand. Two companies of the 63d, under the command of Major Law, have just marched in from Carrick on-Suir. The officers and men are billeted through out the town. FOBILIGN MAILS.—EXTEA MAIL lOU MALTA.— Notice was issued on Saturday last, at the General Post office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, that mails will be made up at that office on the evening of the lith inst.

The report having been adopted by the meeting, the chairman said he should be glad to know if it was the pleasure of the shareholders that a dividend of fire per cent. should be paid? Mr. Parkins (a director) having explained their means of paying such a dividend, which he said would leave a balance of 280/. in hand, the same was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Coombe directed the attention of the managers to the new line of railway in course of con struction between Gravesend and London, and urged upon them the necessity of entering into negotiations with the Blackwell Railway Company, for disembarking passengers at their station. After some conversation, the chairman suggested that it would be better to leave the matter to the directors, b) whom every facility for its accomplishment would be afforded. The meeting then separated. .EVESIIAM NEw FAIL—The new fair, on Monday last, was a good one, considering the other old established fairs in the neighbourhood occurred on the same day. There was a good supply of both mutton and beef • the former selling from s d. to 6d. p er lb., and the ;atter from sd. to 50. per lb. Horses were scarce.— Gloucester Journal. DIATM or ME.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1848. statements of the prospects of the company, founded upon the above data, but which, of course, every person may judge of for himself before he is in any degree influenced : le will have the same materials to guide him as to th 3 accuracy of the estimates that the company had in framing these tables. We shall now only give the conclusion, which is, that " without any progressive or other in crease of traffic over the Great Western lines coming from its extensions, nor any additional receipt in respect of rent, &c., there would, after every allowance, and providing for every demand, be a disposable balance of 701,2501. per annum, which would give a dividend of 61. 10s. per cent. on the amount of paid-tp capital. And if the increase on the gross•revenue should amount to 1,650/. per week, by no means an improbable contingency when the advantages alluded to are made fully available,-or if the working expenses be reduced to 371. per cent., even without any increase of traffic, the earnings will be sufficient to pay 7 per cent. to the shareholders on the estimated stock or share capital. This is,,indeed, satisfactory, and we heartily con gratulate the parties interested therein. A consider able improvement in the quotations of the stock ne cessarily followed the publication. On a future occa sion we may again refer to the above and other statements, which, want of space forbids our doing this day. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. The Paris papers of Saturday publish the follow ing manifesto, addressed by General CAVAIGNAC, as chief of the Executive, to all the authorities, civil and military, of the Republic : " Citizens,—The National Assembly, by a definitive vote, has just., completed the important work undertaken and pursued by it with so much persevering and scrupa lous energy. The Republican Constitution is voted, and its promulgation will convey to the people the knowledge of the text of the fundamental law which is in future to govern their destines. In so important a cenjuucture, and calledirPOn as you are to co-operate according to your functions in this solemn measure, I have been de sirous, by an exception, which the gravity of the cir cumstance will explain, to place my self in direct relation with you, and to tell you what new guarantees, what new force the Constitution will give to your authority. From the month of February up to the present day the principle alone was proclaimed, but the law, the written rule, which is the final consecration of it, was eanting to the principle. Hence irresolution, persevering hos tility, and exclusive pretensions, and, finally, the wild and insensate projects of a small number. The revolu Lion not being defined, audacious minds took scope, and because a necessary interval of time was to elapse between the destruction of the monarchical edifice and the construction of the Republican edifice, it seemed as if all was to be done anew, and that nothing of the existing society was to be preserved. Th ese fatal theories could only produce bitter fruit, and you know what terrible responsibility falls on them for the acts of sacrilegious preparation or savage aggression, which, under a borrowed flag, attacked all that is most respected, most sacred, and most vital, in human society. These deplorable crises cause to you and to us serious difficulties, and when you had to oppose them you triumphed less by the force which would have been given to you by a written law than by the inspirations of an enlightened conscience, an unlimited devotedness to your duties towards the nation and the whole of society. A powerful and irresistible weapon is about to be added to those which you already possessed. The Constitution is made, and henceforth the revolution is defined in its organization and in its law, and whoever, rising against the new law, should pretend to demand from the revolution which has beer, accomplished the dis charge of any imaginary debts, will most justly incur the severities of the law. The fundamental political law has placed itself by the side of the eternal law of order and stability, which is the necessary condition of all human society. Both are henceforth inseparable. The existence of the Republic is indissolubly connected with the maintenance of good politi cal and - social order. The Republic without good order, good order without the Republic are henceforth two facts equally impossible ; and he who should pretend to separate them, or to sacrifice one to the other is a dangerous citizen, condemned by reason and rejected by the country. Endeavour to be embued with these ideas, and to cause them to penetrate into the minds of those who assist or surround you. Founded on the great principle of universal suffrage, such as it is defined and determined in its application by the Constitution of the Republic, the Constitution leaves all liberty of discussion, and takes away all pretext for in. surrection and revolt. For, by what right can the vote which could not prevail by law be made to prevail by violence ? And, on the other hand, in presence of this incessant , application of universal suffrage, what is the authority which could attempt to corrupt the expression of it ? Universal revolution is the entire revolution ; all the other principles no longer present themselves but as consequences. In the first rank of these conse quences you all place that which consists in maintain tag the Government under the action and inviolable respect of the majority. In the new state of things which the Constitution is about to create for the Republic, to forget these principles would bp, on the pArt of all, a grave fault, and a crime on the part of any man, who, in vested with an authority of any kind, should thus dispute the very source and basis of this authority. The first result, the first danger of such an error, would be the destruction of the power itself whose origin should leave been rejected, and whose value and signification should have been misunderstood. Drawn up iu con flict, if we may so express it, with the subversive theories which may attack . propsrty and society (la famine), and the possible and salutary conditions of labour, the Constitution had nothing to add to the power of the eternal principles upon which these t rights repose. It limited itself to the recording, ac knowledging, and consecrating them by a solemn de. elevation. Its text, therefore, would add nothing to your duties in this respect. Every period has its dangers and its errors. You know these errors and the dangers of our epoch, and you will continue to com bat them with the devotedness which the Republic has a right to expect from you. The support of the authority which directs you, and the opinion of the entire nation, are the sources from which you will strengthen the courage requisite, in order that you may not fail in presence of audacious aggressions if they should again take place. Long political struggles pre ceded the Revolution, which is being accomplished under oar eyes and by our efforts. Parties had been long in conflict ; the men who composed them were separated by energetic dissentiment and profound in compatibilities. You will not forget that the revolution of February is the entire nation beholding without anger the suicide of:the monarchy, which remained alone and. Lit itself. You will not forget that the Re public, the object of the hopes and of the old worship of a small.. number of citizens, proclaimed on the day when all Other government, all authority, was wanting to the country, has been accepted and legitimised by the acclamation of the entire nation. In what has passed I do not see a conspiracy which triump hs and maintains itself by violence and exc l usion. I see in it the evolution, painful without doubt in its crisis, but fortunate and natu ral, of a nation which suffered in its wants and its dearest and most respectable rights. Under the influence of these salutary truths you will remain convinced that the souvenirs of former struggles, and of the sympa thies, or repulsions resulting from them, if they still subsist, must be effaced and extinguished. You will devote all your efforts to this work of peace and concili ation. The nation has not had the Republic imposed upon it, nor will it submit to a minority, whatever it may be. Engaged seriously and irrevocably in a Re publican purse, it will not cast a look behind. It looks forward ; it progresses ; but it will see clearly, it will attend to its own affairs, and this sentiment is legitimate; not to acknowledge this would be to d e p art from right' s irom truth, from public reason. In the post which you occupy, and devoted as you aro to the new in stitutions it hich ensure the future of the Re-public, you will exp . erie;Ace no sentiment of systematic exclusion. In the ehoietiwitich you will have to propose or to make, open the career'teriolutely to eery citizen who comes to you with a sinare heart and honest intentions. Examine what he is worth, and not whence he comes. Let it suffice for you that his character guarantees his word. But you will set aside without hesitation whoever does not deserve from you the enlightened confidence which you will seek in your conscience. Apply yourself, therefore, to con ciliate men, and to reconcile them to each other. Your first duty is to serve faithfully the interests of the Re public. Nothing will better secure to it convictions and hearts than the spirit of wisdom and imp artialit y y ou ma y display in y our choice. In the path I trace to you, you must expect the most contradictory attacks. Some will accuse you of deserting the cause and principles you are called upon to defend and make prevail. Leave to facts and to time the care of demonstrating whether you or they have best comprehended the interests of the Republic. Others, on the contrary, will accuse you of hesitation, of exclusion, perhaps of duplicity. In the face of all these obstacles neither hasten nor delay your march; the feeling that you are doing your duty will indicate to you the just measure ; do not suffer yourself to be diverted fro= it. Think that the public life of a - functionary belongs to you, and, consequently, to truth and to error. Do not be eager to defend your self against a calumny; know that as soon as one is de stroyed another is ready. Devote your time rather to your country than to yourself. If, in the exercise of your functions, you have to experience some disgust, some discouragement, think that all these attacks, all these calumnies, have no longer duration than your temporary authority, and that, after that is at an end, nothing will remain but your acts, which will mark you for remem brance or oblivion, for the gratitude or contempt of your fellow-citizens. Think that free nations are suspicious and that it is right that they should be so. More than one nation has stifled its own liberties under the weight of its gratitude. It is by this sprit that you will fulfil the duties which the Constitution is about to impose upon you. The country is suffsring and some uaenlighted citizens, are but too much disposed to attribute to the very principles of the Republican Government the sufferings and prive tions which they endure. Apply yourself to combat these evil tendencies, neglect nothing to hasten the ter mination of these sufferings, and remember that con fidence in the stability of the present and in the promises of the future will restore to the people that well being which awaits only that confidence to revive of itself. Reckon that the Government will aid your efforts, will encourage you by its approbation, will guide yen by its advice and instructions. Like you, it feels all the value of the return of confidence, which is the foundation of public credit. The thought~ of the country are also turned to events abroad. In possession of goad order at home, it is made uneasy by the agitations the commo tions, the struggles created by the change of ideas in neighbouring nations. Say to all around you who will listen to you, and be not afraid of deceiving them, that thanks to the loyal and generous principles of policy traced out by the National Assembly, the Govern ment of the Republic is confident that it will reach the term of its provisional authority without seeing any disturbance of those pacific relations which all its efforts have tended to and succeeded in maintaining and consolidating; and that it will bequeath to the definitive power a state of affairs by which the maintenance of peace will cost nothing to the honour or the interests of France. The National As sembly has willed that religion should be called upon to consecrate the solemity which is being prepared. The Government anticipated this idea, and assured itself of your concurrence in realising it. The Constitution guarantees to every citizen the free exercise of his own mode of worship, and professes the eternal law of re spect for men's consciences. You will find in all the ministers of religion a readiness to answer your appeal. They hail with sincere homage the establishment of the Republic. They find in it the application of all the prin ciples of liberty, equality, and fraternity, revealed to the world by the Gospel, and carefully inscribed in the Con stitution. They will piously raise their thoughts towards God, who protects the nation and the Republic. Thy will thank Him for his benefits, and pray to Him for new blessings upon the common country. You will have to render an account to the Minister under whose orders you find yourself placed of the measures you shall have taken for the promulgation of the Consti tution. " The President o' the Council of Ministers charged with the Executive Power, " CAVAIGNAC." In the sitting of the National Assembly on Satur day there were no less than 33 applications from dif ferent Deputies for leave of absence. M. LH ERBSTTE, in a most intemperate speech, opposed the granting these leaves of absence to Deputies, who only applied for them in order to go into their respective districts to canvass for General CATAIGNAC. The Assembly divided on the question, when there appeared— For granting leave Against it • •••• Majority .. ... ..-140 Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has quitted Paris for two days, in order to avoid taking any part in the public promulgation of the Constitution. This studied insult to the Republic on the part of the Russian candidate for the Presidency is suggestive, and must open the eyes of all but the wilfully blind to the real character of the pretensions of Prince Louts. M. Lion, who signs his name "Count LEON, son of the EMPEROR," has addressed a long letter to the Assernblee Nationale, in reference to an article which had appeared in that journal about a story of a secret will of NAPOLEON, which M. Lxox supposes to have been made in his interest. The following is an extract from M. LEON'S letter : " Since the death of the Duke de Reichstadt, armed with the letter of General Bertrand, which I quoted in my letter to Citizen Louis, I have incessantly demanded of the Bonaparte family the communication which is due to me of the paragraph which concerns me in the secret will of the Emperor Napoleon, my father, and have re ceived only continual and humiliating refusals. In 1840 I took a journey to London, to demand it of the ex-King Joseph. The most base intrigues and odious calumnies were opposed to me, and even my life was put in peril, as I was on the point of fighting a duel with Citizen Napoleon Louis Bonaporte. At last came the days of February, which again brought into light all the prin ciples of eternal justice. I have taken advantage of this to require from General Montholon the authentic act passed before M. Tabourier, the notary of Paris, which you must have observed in my letter to Citizen Napoleon Louis Bonaparte. General Montholon then made me a verbal promise to transmit me the paragraph above referred to. But, since the days of February, some men have changed their principles according to the current of events, and Count Montholon, the friend of the Em peror, as you call him, and his principal testamentary executor, now declares to me that, considering the circumstances, it is impossible for him to keep the pro mise he gave me. This is not all. Citiz n Napoleon Louis Bonaparte has not even deigned to answer my letter; and emissaries, whom I can name, if necessary, came to visit me on his behalf, to sound my intentions and offer me money; bat, when I again insisted upon having a communication of the secret will of the Em peror, they all retired. Then came partisans, advisers, and, strange to say, Count Montholon himself, request. ing me to be patient, and promising me everything on the part of Citizen Louis, but not doing anything that I had demanded of him. Thus they set my silence at a price upon which they bargain." The club of the deputies of the Rue Taitbout (the Mountain), having adopted M. LEDRU Romart as its candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, has sent the following address into the departments:— " Citizens I—We desired unity of government, aad still do wish for it. We have voted against the prin ciple of a Presidency, but since the majority has car ried it, since the Constitution admits of a President, we must carefully abstain; we must all now concert to bring into power a man who represents our principles, and will make them triumph. We have but one word to say on the importance of the choice which the electors are called upon to make ; the existence of the Republic depends upon it! The candidates who appeal to you for your suffrages arc know to you; you are acquainted with their true worth. One puts forth a name—a dynastic reroi idscence; the other pledges to reaction. Without intend ing here to discuss the merits of all, we say that our first thought is, that we must place at the head of the Re public—a Republican 1 for we must preserve, develepe, complete the Republic ; fur it must live quand meme ; it must, in fact, have those democratic and social institu tions, without which it would be only a mere form, an empty word. Under the circumstances, Citizen Ledru Rollin is the man who merits all our confidence, and who will be able to unite all the different shades of demo cracy. We have no need to recommend to the esteem of the patriots the claims of the man who, together with the people, proclaimed the Republic, and organized uni versal suffrage. If Citizen Ledru Rollin has not yet been able, either in the Provisional Government, or in the Executive Committee, to apply all our princip!es, and realise all our ideas, it has been because he was pa ralysed by a majority devoted to contrary principles and ideas, You know our doctrines by our votes in the Na tional Assembly and by our declaration to the people. If you adopt this programme, vote for the man who has signed it, and the whole of whose efforts will be contri buted to its realization.

The platform on the left will at the same time be occupied by the members of the Diplomatic Corps, of the Court of Cassation, the Council of State, and the other constituted bodies. Salvoes of artillery will announce the departure of the National Assembly from the Chamber, and will be repeated at intervals during the whole day. Behind the platforms, seats will be placed on the terrace, for the accommodation of persons provided with tickets, and the en trance to which will be by the gate op _ polite the Rue Castiglione. At nine o'clock the clergy will leave the Church of the Madeleine, and will proceed to take their places on the steps of the altar. A platform will be placed at the foot of the altar, from whence the President of the National Assembly, sur rounded by the Executive Government and the Bureau of the Chamber will read to the people the text of the Constitution. Immediately after this has been dune, a Te Deem will be chanted, during which the Archbishop of Paris, assisted by several prelates, will celebrate mass. this being finished, the clergy will again form in pro cession and return to the Church of the Madeleine. The National Guards of Paris and of the Departments pre viously stationed according to the orders of the military authorities, and under the command of General Chan garnier, will begin to file off; marching round the Place, and passing the platform on which tho National As sembly and the Executive Government will be seated. After the filing off, the National Assembly, accompa nied by the Executive Government, will return to the Chamber." Up to ten o'clock yesterday morning all was quiet in Paris. The different legions of the National Guard were all under arms, and the only circumstance which had transpired, at all indicative of any desire to re new attempts at disorder, was the assembling of a party of men in blouses, to cheer the 6:h Legion of the National Guard as it passed—the said 6th Legion having been partially disarmed after the June insur rection, on account of the suspicious conduct of many of its members. The Government having received information that it was the intention of the clubs to assemble on the Place de la Bastile, and make a counter-manifestation during the promulgation of the Constitution, caused the Place to be occupied, early on Sunday, by two battalions of infantry, two batta lions of African chasseurs, and two pieces of cannon. Up to ten o'clock, however, the clubbists had not made their appearance. The ceremonial of the proclamation of the Consti. tution was proceeding in the Place de la Concorde according to the programme. The crowd assembled was not great, and as the weather was bitterly cold and the snow falling fast during the whole morning, no fears were entertained of any emeute.

A. single eharity is grudged to the unfortunate refugees from Poland. We regret this, deeply ; and, above all, we regret to find that an influential portion of the Press is directing its energies to the suppression of the solitary effort made towards the support of these patriotic exiles. According to some of our Contemporaries, the annual ball at Guildhall is a profligate expenditure of the popular benevolence. They insist upon the necessity of illustrating the national adage. They maintain that charity, like the polyphonist, should be "at home ;" and that, unlike the schoolmaster, it should never go " abroad." This is surely a bitter return to the system of exclusive ness. It is an endeavour to render the effects of Christianity national, instead of cosmopolite. It is a melancholy step towards the localization of the corporal works of mercy. For the sake of our cha racter as a people, for the sake of religion, for the sake of humanity, we would raise our voice, against this most deplorable and mistaken opposition which is principally, if not entirely, directed against the subscribers and the Committee of the Association of the Friends of Poland. We would appeal to the public for a continuance of its support to this noble institution, not on the score of some eccentric par tiality, not for the perpetuation of a poetical and romantic entertainment, not because we are, in any degree, infatuated by the associations of an almost historical masquerade or by the glamour of an heroic sentiment. We persist that the charitable amuse ment which takes place, year after year, in Guildhall is entitled to the aid of the population, not for any idle or showy reasons of this character, but because the proceeds of the Ball afford the principal means of preserving a numerous body of unfortunates from the horrors of despair and starvation. On mature reflection we are satisfied that the dis like entertained by our Contemporaries for the annual recurrence of the Polish Ball arises altogether from two extraordinary and most erroneous apprehensions. They regard the refugees from Lithuania as men in a voluntary state of banishment, who prefer to derive a precarious subsistence from idleness in a foreign country rather than create for themselves an honest though scanty livelihood by industry in their father land. Beyond this the dissentient portion of the London Press is in dread lest the aid afforded by our citi zens towards a parcel of foreign paupers may cause a sensible diminution in the alms bestowed upon our own impoverished countrymen. To no other notions whatever can we attribute the diatribes published in some of the metropolitan journals against the Polish Ball and the Polish Association. We are unwilling to trace the antagonism of our brother journalists to a less worthy origin. It is wholly beyond our com prehension that the great power exercised by the Daily Newspaper should, from other motives than these, be employed so energetically against a class of foreigners who are unable in any manner to defend themselves. Viewing the matter, therefore, in this light, we maintain that both the impressions we have mentioned as having stimulated our Contemporaries to the at tack, are in the very hi g h est degree fallacious. Nothin g can be more frivolous than to argue that one hundred andeviensng'samusem e nt sixty-five, _ five , can i n o u a t n o y f every thre appreciabl e e manner tend to the diminution of our home or dome stic chariti es . To prove the extravagance of this not ion it would be only necessary to enumerate the various hospitals, almshouses, lying.in institu• tions, asylums, and other eleemosynary establish ments which are scattered in such profusion through. out the metropolis, and which are supported with unflagging munificence, solely through the influence of voluntary contributions. One masquerade con trasted with so many splendid edifices is assuredly an atom contrasted with a sphere. And while the mi serable creatures, who are relieved in their destitu tion simply because they are unfortunate natives of the British islands, are housed, and clothed, an d nursed, and protected in these institutions by thousands, it is certainly not very generous for any members of the English Press to complain because one annual ball is given to preserve the Polish refugees from famishing. And most especially are these complaints ungenerous when it is remembered that the Poles are here amongst us claiming our assistance, not from choice, but by a dire necessity. If it is a fallacy ' to dread the diminution of our national charities, simply because a single entertainment is given on behalf of the Poles in the course of every twelve months, it is either a monstrous error or a heinous misrepresentation to term the Poles wilful burdens upon our community. They are so far from being voluntary sojourners in England that their return homewards brings them to the horrible alternative of banishment to the wilds of Siberia, or death by the hands of the executioner. They must stay here or perish. There remains to them no other resource bat our benevolence. Of this a terrible example was instanced on Saturday evening by Lord DUDLNY COUTTS STUART, when addressing himself to the Committee of the Association. Repeating what he had already stated on a previous occasion, the Noble President reminded his auditors of the case of " the Polish Refugee, who, tot loag since, kept a shop in Piccadilly, and who having, this summer (impelled by a sort of mad desire of revisiting his native country) ventured into Russian-Poland, was immediately cap tured and hung !" The inference to be drawn from this terrible illustration is obvious. The Poles are com pelled to remain amongst us from obedience to the common dictates of self-preservation. A few of them, it is true, are enabled by good fortune to obtain employment sufficient to earn their own subsistence ; but the majority are deprived of every opportunity of gaining a Avelihood by the exercise of their skill or their intelligence. Nor is this surprising, when we reflect upon the extraordinary number of our own people who find it altogether impracticable to obtain werk in their native country. Therefore it is that the Poles look to the sympathies of England for aid and sustenance in the midst of their tremendous calamities. And if ever any men were entitled to the charity of their fellow creatures, these noble. hearted but ill-doomed refugees from Russian Poland are—by the sublime right of our common humanity. The victims of a conquering and spoliative despotism, they are expelled from the land of their nativity, not for crime but for virtue— the lofty virtue of their undying patriotism. They come to us for shelter in the days of their great na tional tribulation. They fly for help to England, to that England which has the glorious prerogative of affording refuge to the guiltless outcasts of the nations of the globe. Shall they receive protection but be denied bread ? Shall they look to us for our vaunted generosity and find only freedom to perish with hunger ? What then becomes of that memorable and impassioned boast of the great orator —that the moment the black slave presses his foot upon the shores of England, his chains fall from him and he breathes the air of liberty ? That liberty is surely little better than a hideous mockery which is embittered by the pangs of famine, and recompensed by the planks of a gratuitous coffin 1 While a single charity of comparative insignifi cance is begrudged to the Polish refugees simply because those unfortunate men are foreigners, it would be well to remember the splendid acts of munificence recently displayed by a distinguished foreigner towards our own suffering population. While preparations are making for the ball to be holden in the Guildhall of the city of Lon don on Thursday evening, it may not be inappro priate to remind our contemporaries of the sum realised for the Brampton Hospital for Consumption by the artistic and beneficent genius of Mademoiselle Jamsur LIND, and to call to their recollection also the four hundred pounds presented only the other day for distribution among the poor of Dublin by that wonderful songstress and most noble-hearted woman. With these facts living in our remembrance, we say with our whole soul, GOD speed the Polish Ball on Thursday I Three important railway statements have just been published, in addition to those which have already appeared. The directors of the " Great Western," the " South-Western," and of the "Lancashire and York shire" Companies have afforded full and explicit in• formation, to their respective shareholders and to the public generally, of the position and prospects of the vast undertakings that have been confided to their control and management. Every person may now judge for himself how far the directors have been warranted in their estimates of future income, and may make his own calculations as to the probable amount of dividend to be received on the sums which he may have already invested, or may desire to invest, in the stock of any or either of these companies. The great desideratum has been obtained —accurate data are now afforded. There can no longer be doubt or difficulty as to the various matters that should be thoroughly known. There cannot be the whispered insinuation, " the shrug, the burn, or ha," by which the fears of timid parties were excited, and themselves induced to sacrifice their property. The mists have been dispersed, the obscurity enlightened, and to every rumour or surmise that may be hazarded by those anxious to depreciate the value of railway stock, the true state of affairs—set forth so clearly and explicitly —the incontrovertible facts, may be replied to the shame and confusion of the calumniators. We con gratulate the community in general on the improved aspects, the more favourable prospects opened to the railway world, so widely different from those that had been put forward on the semi-official authority of the Weekly Share Lilt. A simple comparison of the statements " conjectural" and "rear —the former viewed through the distorting medium of pro )uclice and distrust the latter by the pure , and natural light of truth—will speedily convince the most sceptical how unsubstantial was the foundation on which rested the recent pthic, and the general want of confidence in railway resources and railway management. It will also show the extreme lengths to which the opponents of those great monuments of national industry and national enterprise ventured in their efforts to damage the property of the share holders. The Great Western statement follows the order adopted in that of the London and North- Western, to which it bears a considerable resem- blance. No information that could be desired is with held, and the clearest explanations are afforded on every point on which they could be required. Front the general summary it appears that on " the main line and branches producing revenue, including plant for all the lines," there had been ex pended, to the 30th June last, 9,313,3201., and that a further outlay of 130,000/. would only be required after that date, making a total of 9,443,3201. thereon; that on branch lines in course of construction, but which were not producing revenue on the 30th June, there had been expended to that date 955,9231., and that 495,0001. was then required, making a total of 1,450,923 L One of these lines, however, the Berks and Hants Rsulwway (from Reading to Basingstoke, fifteen miles in length), has since been brought into profitable occupation, it having .been opened for general traffic on the lit November inst. On the railways purchased but not yet producing revenue, there bad been expended 310,1161., and that a further sum of 2,666,3841. would be required, making a total under this head of 2,976,500/. Of the subsidiary undertakings, in which the company are interested by subscription, contribution, or guarantee, there had been already paid 1,011,9141, of which, however there had already been raised towards these subscriptions, under a guarantee sanc tioned by the resolution of a general meeting held in August, 1847, 549,6601, leaving a balance of 462,254/. actually paid by the Great Western Company, and 765,918/. still to be paid.— Total, 1, 9 28,1701. On the railways, or portions of r taken of railways for which powers have been obtained, but which have not yet been commenced, there has al ready been expended 269,5461., and there are existing liabilities to be defrayed to the extent of 80,544/. making a total of 350,0001.—which, we fear, may be looked u p on as a b so l ute l y l os t, or a t l eas t w ill r ema i n wholly unpro d uct i ve unt il t h e t i me (if ever ) w h en these s evera l b ranc h es w ill b e cons t ruc t e d.

On the 26th there will be grand in door concerts, gratuitous performances at the theatres, and two displays of fireworks. Charitable distribu tions will be made to the poor during the two days. Since the above was written we have received in telligence from Paris up to kix o'clock last evening, at which hour the city was perfectly tranquil.

The Duke DB Gou has been appointed Ambassador to Vienna, and the Marquis DR VALDEGAMEMS Am bassador to Berlin. The account of the surprise and capture of ARAD, the Progressista leader at Huesca, is, it appears, al though officially announced, quite incorrect. A letter from Tafalla, of Nov. 5, says— " The notice published and affiche in all the villages and hamlets of the kingdom, and which emanated from the Captain-General of Saragossa, to the effect that the Republican and liberating army of Huesca had been made prisoners without a single man escaping, is a com plete falsehood. lam assured of this by the conductor of the Saragossa diligence, who has just passed through here on his way to Pampeluna.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. ROYAL COUP D'ETAT. Emboldened by the success of the cause of reaction at Vienna, FREDERIC WILLIAM has thrown off the mask, and under pretence that the deliberations of the National Assembly are not free at Berlin, he has transferred their sittings to Brandenburg, where the members may be compelled at the point of the bayonet to register such decrees as the KING may com mand. This astounding information was conveyed to the Assembly during the sittings of the 9th. When the Assembly met, the following royal Cabinet order was read : " TO THE STATE MINISTRY. " The President of the Ministry and Minister of War, General Von Flue!, and the Ministers Eichmann, Von Bonin, and Von Donhoff, have asked and received their dismissal, and I have appointed-1. General Count Von Brandenburg President of the Ministry; 2. Von Laden berg. Minister of Public Worship; 3. Von Mantenffel, Minister of the Interior; arid 4. General Von Strotha, Minister of War. 5. The Minister of Justice, Kisker, will contieue to conduct that Ministry for the present. " I have also comminissioned General Count Von Brandenburg provisionally to conduct the Foreign De partment, and the Minister of the Interior provisionally to conduct the department of Agriculture. For Finance, I have provisionally appointed Kiihne; and for Commer• cial and Public Works, Von Pommel. Esch. " This decree to be published according to law. (Signed) FREDERICK WILLIAM. (Countersigned) " Sans Souci. Nov. 8." " COUNT VON BRANDENBURG, The President of the Assembly also announced that a Royal message had been received, which he re quested to be read. It runs as follows : " MESSAGE TO THE ♦SSEMBL7 CONVOKED FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF A CONSTITUTION. " We, Frederick William, &c., —At repeated times Members of the Assembly convoked for the settle ment of a constitution have been personally insulted for certain of their votes, and on the 31st ult. the hall of the Assembly was formally taken possession of, and the colours of the Republic having been displayed, an attempt was made at intimidating the Deputies by ma licious demonstrations. Th, se deplorable events show plainly that the Assembly which is called to establish the liberty of the country is deprived of its own liberty, and that the members of the some are) not nufficiently protected against anarchical movements, which to our affliction are still going on in the city of Berlin. Our desire to grant to our people as soon as possible a liberal constitution, according to our promise given, cannot be accomplished under these circumstances. We, there fore, re move the seat of the Assembly convoked for the settlement of a constitution from Berlin-to'Brandenburg, and have directed our State Ministry to make the neces sary arrangements that-the Assembly will be able to continue the sittings from the 27th inst. at Brandenburg. Until then we herewith prorogue the Assembly. We request the Assembly to discontinue its deliberations after this message has been read, and to meet again on the 27th inst. at Brandenburg. (Signed) (Countersigned) " Sans Souci, Nov. 8." " FREDERIC WILLIAM. " VON BRANDENBURG. When the President had concluded reading the message, Count, BRANDENBURG rose, and required the Assembly to close the debate and adjourn at once, declaring that any further continuance of their sittings would be unlawful. He then left the As. sembly, followed by the Members of the right. The President refused to break up the sittings of the Assembly without first consulting their constituents. The question, whether the debate should be cloied, having been put to the Assembly by the President, was negatived, and the following three resolutions were passed almost unanimously : " 1. That the Assembly will continue its sittings at Berlin. "2. That the Assembly cannot be prorogued, re moved, or dissolved by the King; and " 3. That the Assembly holds those officers who had advised the King to issue this message to be unfit to administer the Government, and guilty of a violation of their duties towards the King, the people, and the Assembly." The National Assembly then declared itself per• manent, and a committee of ten was appointed to remain in permanent sitting. Berlin was in the greatest state of excitement, and an emeute was hourly expected. The Paris illoniteur du Soir of Saturday announces that at tempts had been made to erect barricades in the streets of Berlin, which had been foiled by the entry of troops. The Patrie of the same evening contains the following:— " The Government has received most important news from Berlin. The populace had erected barricades, but the troops, which were round the city, entered it and the insurgents fled. The Xing is master of the situation. He hat formed a Ministry amongst the moderate party, and convoked the Parliament out of Berlin." Accounts fr()Mli;lln — Oi the - 10iiisiate that the troops had entered the city without bloodshed, and that General WRANGEL had dissolved the National Assembly. The Members have met in their club rooms, and declare they will remain until they are expelled from the city by force. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Accounts have been received from Vienna to the 7th inst. The greater number of the inhabitants who had fled from the city during the early days of October had returned, and the shops were again opened. Two journals also, the Austrian Lloyds and the Presse were allowed to appear. Field Mar shal WELDEN, who recently made himself so notorious by the cruelties he practsed in Lombardy and in the Roman States, has been appointed Governor of Vienna. The report of the arrest of BEM, MESSEN HAUSER, and the other chiefs is not confirmed; in. deed, it is said that WINDISCIIGRATZ has not suceeded in arresting a single individual of those whom he demanded. Dr. SCHUTTE is under the protection of the American Envoy, who has confided to him some pretended employment under him. The two prin cipal agitators of the committee of students have claimed the protection of the French Envoy, who has given them the situation of couriers. M. MESSEN HAUSER has not yet been arrested, and General BEM has reached the Hungarian camp. BLuas, the Deputy to the Frankfort Parliament, has been arrested by the military commander, but his character of Deputy will protect him. The Austrian Ministry of Justice has received a note from the Imperial Ministry of Justice at Frank fort, in which the non-punishment of LATOUR'S mur derers is animadverted on. The note contains the following passage : The Imperial Ministry looks forward with confidence to the fulfilment of its wish, that the Ministry of Justice may please to furnish it as soon as p.ssible with a re presentation of facts, and that with respect to the tree pardon and amnesty it may keep within those limits without which the authority of law cannot be maintained in Germany, nor our fatherland be guarded against plunging into a sea of blood and horrors. ‘• The Imperial Minister of Justice, R. MOHL. " Frankfort, Oct. 14. " D. METTENIUS." JELLACHICII is still in the city with his body-guard, but the Croats are encamped out3ide. It is reported at Olmutz, that of the 500 National Guards of Brunn who came to the assistance of Vienna, 180 were killed, and that at the taking of the station of Meid ling, on the 28th October, 1,600 men were killed. Accounts from Ratibor, of the 7th inst., say that a Colonel of the Staff of Prince WiNmscuoßATz had just passed through, the bearer of a dispatch for Field Marshal SCHLIEK, at Cracow. According to these dispatches Colonel Simorlowico, who commands from 15,000 to 20,000 of the Imperial troops, making an irruption from Gallicia, had attacked the Hungarians; but the latter had repulsed and driven him from Tyrnau to Goeting, a distance of 20 miles. In con• sequence of this defeat SCHLIEK had retired on Moravia, and Prince WINDISCLIGUATZ bas sent to his assistance two brigades, nearly all cavalry, which troops were forwarded by the railway to Ludenbourg and Prerau. Troops have also been sent against Presburgh and Pesth. It is said that NVINDISCLIGRATZ intends taking the command in person against the Hungarians. The Croats have plundered the houses of friends as well as foes, and they hold a market every day in their camp, at which they sell the proceeds of their robberies to the Jews. The Schlesische Zeitung contains accounts of serious disturbances which took place at Lemberg on the Ist and 2d instant. A quarrel between soldiers and National Guards gave rise to a 'violent conflict, in consequence of which the troops were consigned to their barracks. The National Guards, assisted by the mob, made attacks on the soldiers, and barricades were constructed ; the withdrawal of the troops from the town was also demanded by a deputation, and the restoration of order guaranteed in that case. The Commanding-General, however, demanded the immediate removal of the barricades. Thus matters stood on the morning of the 7th, when there seemed a disposition to yield to the conditions imposed by the General; but the conduct of the mounted National Guards led to a re» newel of hostilities; a great many persons wore wounded, barricades were reconstructed, and the toc sin sounded. The armed people were concentrated during the combat in the University, and planted a red flag on one of the barricades. After a few hours the barricades were swept away by the artillery. Unluckily the quarter of the town in the vicinity of the University, the University itself, the splendid town-hall, and a great many other houses took fire by the rockets. At noon a deputation from the Com mittee of Safety appeared before the General, -offer ing the surrender of the town under the following conditions : " 1. Tho dissolution and disarmament of the Acade- mical Legion. " 2. The re-organization of the National Guard under the surveillance of the Imperial General. " 3. The registration of all foreigners." In case those conditions should not be fulfilled in the shortest possible time, the town was to be placed in a state of siege, according to the declaration of the Commanding-General, HAMMERSTEIN. When the courier left order was restored in the town. . ITALY. INTERCEPTED LETTER OF MARSHAL RADETZKY. The Alba of Florence gives the following as the contents of a letter addressed by Marshal RAMITZICT to the Archduke Louis, and which the journal adds was communicated to _it by a person worthy of con fidence : " Imperial and Royal Highness, up to this time I can reply to you, that I feel no uneasiness as to our domina tion in these provinces. We have had, however, and still have, some severe trials to pass through. In spite of all rnyiprecautions, I could not prevent accounts from their country becoming circulated among the Hungarian troops, and although I have sought to persuade thein that in consequence of the victory of Marshal. Jells chich , Hungary was completely pacified, a feeling of mistrust and hatred between the Croations and Hun garians every day increases, and I have been compelled to separate these troops. " 'rhe insubordination among the Hungarians has been carried to such a pitch that they have even dared to loudly express their sympathies in favour of: the Italians—a sympathy which might become detrithental to the interest of his Majesty. I have caused a score of them to be shot, and put a large number in confinement on bread and water. I must, howeVer, confess that this severity has not produced the good effect I might have expected from it, and the Hungarians at length began to set my authcrity at defiance. In the hope of quelling this spirit of insubordination, and of restoring discipline in my army, I have published an order of the dab a copy of which I inclose. I tell you candidly that if I were in any other country, and surrounded by another kind of people, I should feel the greatest uneasiness. "But these people, instead of seeking means of driv ing out those they call their persecutors only think of discussing the form of government they will adopt, without reflecting that they cannot decide on anything while the Government of his Imperial Majesty continues to exercise its legitimate influence over them. I have naturally done all in my power to promote these discussions, and have expended much money for that purpose. I have also imposed considerable taxes, by the aid of which I support my army, and sow dis cord among the people, for it is but just that they should themselves pay the expenses of the disunions in which they think proper to live. As long as they are taken up with these dissensions I have no fear of their resorting to arms against me. I hope, therefore, that enthusiasm which a year since appeared so threatening against his Majesty will soon wear itself out. In order to throw amongst them another brand of discord I have given out an idea of establishing a central government, similar to that which now infests Germany, and at the head of which would be placed a prince of the imperial house. We are sure of Naples; Tuscany does not much concern me, and Venice must in the end yield to our power. Genoa appears to have disagreed with Turin, and Charles Albert's forces are only apparently powerful. " I hope that his Majesty's Government will prolong the negotiations some weeks longer; or until the winter comes. That season will be favourable to my plan, and I will make myself strong enough to reduce those pro vinces to obedience to his Majesty, so that the French and English Governments shall have no further pretence for interference. " Milan, Oct. 13." The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has published a de• tree dissolving the Council General, and fixing the 20th for the election of a new Council. He has alst dissolved the Senate. The Venetians under General RIZZARD/ and Colonel BERTI-PICHAT have taken Cavanello on that Adige from the Austrians. Letters from Turin state that the Hungarians con tinue to desert from RADETZIifiI army in great numbers. THEATRR ROYAL, COVENT- G•RDEN..-- The -An nouncement of a general reduction in the prices of ad mission to this splendid establishment has not come upon us by surprise; tor, despite the enormous outlay for so extraordinary an array of talent,lwe have everconsidered the high prices of admission an insuperable barrier to its success. We live in times of universal cheapness, and while popular attractions are offeted on all sides at a rate within the means of every class of persons, the high prices charged at this theatre necessarily limited the amount of patronage which it received. That the step thus taken by Mr. Bunn, in compliance with a gene ral expression of public feeling, is one of wise resolve, none will deny, and that his promptness in adopting it will meet with a correspondent return, we believe and hope to be also a matter beyond doubt. By thus acquiescing in the popular wish, maintaining, at the same time, the pledge " that precisely the same character of perform ance will be given, supported by the same artistes, and aided by all the gorgeous paraphernalia of the establish ment," as at the present prices, Mr. Bunn will secure public patronage, and his treasury benefit in a corre sponding ratio.
