An explanatory letter has been elicited from the Secretary of the Scottish Central Railway by the in dignant commentaries of the Press upon his behaviour towards her Grace the Duchess of SITHERLAND. We call it by courtesy, and through lack of a better title, " an explanatory letter," although we are tempted to exclaim as Lord BYRON exclaimed when SOUTRRT was " explaining metaphysics to thR nation" we wish he would explain his explanation." For of all the lame and bungling epistles it has ever been our misfortune to peruse that written on Wednesday last from the Perth station by Mr. ROBERT D. KEE, is decidedly the very lamest and the most bungling. It is evidently penned with the intention of mystifying the, public into the belief that there has been from beginning to end a gross misstatement, and that the directors of the Scottish Central Railway in general, and Mr. ROBERT D. Bra in particular, are wholly innocent and grievously mdligned. That, we say, is manifestly the intention of the epistle ; and yet the result of the communica tion is simply and entirely this, that Mr. ROBERT D. liEn, the calumniated Secretary of the Scottish Cential Railway, himself acknowledges and chronicles the fact that her Grace did send to inquire if she could be cartied forward by the mail train on Sunday morning, and that he, the calumniated Secretary, Mr. ROBERT D. Kla, did reply that a compliance with the request was altogether impossible ! As for the precise hour by the Perth clock at which this entreaty was conveyed, to the Secretary it matters not one j ot. There the fact is, as naked as the Druid blocks on Stonehenge —the demand was made to the Secretary, and the Secretary peremikorily refused to comply with the demand. What 'more have we journalists main tained ? Mr. ROBERT D. KV* will perhaps oblige us with an answer. Be__observe the modesty of this delicate effort at extenuation !—But, says the Secretary—" I am sure every one connected with the railway would have been ready to facilitate her Grace' s Journey by every possible means had the eirninstances attending it been wads brown to them !" So that her Grace was to violate the sanctity of her sorrows upon the platform of the Perth station to the first luggage porter, she was to swallow the grief of her filial emotions and to explain the precise reasons and extreme urgency of her journey from Dunrobin Castle, in consequence of having received intelligence of the mortal illness of her father, the late Earl of CARLISLE, and then—after this severe domestic calamity had been profaned by being idly lipped from mouth to mouth over the whole establishment until it had reached the ears of the invisible secretary—then her Grace's journey would, Mr. ROBERT D. KER is 0 sure," have been facilitated by every possible means by the different persons connected with the railway. In short, according to this official announcement, it is incumbent upon every one desirous of travelling per rail on Sundays to bring medical ~certificates, showing that those who are dear to them are in peril of their lives, to reveal the secrets of their banker's account or of their mercantile books, for the purpose of proving that their presence in such and such a place by such and such an hour is essential for their preservation from insolvency ; in fact that the woes of family, of property, of position, of interest, or of affection, should be laid bare before the careless eye of a perfect stranger, and that stranger a check taker en a Scottish railway, or a secretary, like Mr. ROBERT D. KBE, whose humanity has been utterly obliterated by his fanaticism, or whose feelings of deli cacy have been rendered entirely subservient to the will and pleasure of half-a•dozen bigotted and pig headed directors. The more we reflected upon the brutality of conduct resulting from this wretched cant about the sanctification of the Sabbath, the more intolerably does the culpability of the Secretary of the Scottish Central Railway glare upon our judg ment, and the more profound is our indignation against the directors who have found in him a willing tool of their coarse-minded and arrogant hypocrisy. We do not doubt for one instant but that the dis tinguished nobleman who presides over the depart ment of Woods and Forests will employ his ministerial power to prevent the recurrence of such miseries as those which were gratuitously added to the poignant affliction of his sister, the Duchess of SumaßßL.uip. The humanity of his nature will egg him forward along a path of retribution to the psalm-singing po tentates pf the Scottish railways—a path which to others would be pointed out by a feeling of justifiable wrath and excusable, vindictiveness. We look to Lord MortrEnt, now the Earl of CARLISLE, for this act of severe and exquisitely deserved repression, and we cannot but think that it would be an act happily inaugurative of his elevation to the House of Peers. What happened to her Grace the Mistress of the Robes, on Sunday the Bth of October, has happened doubtless a hundred times before to persons in a less conspicuous position. The eminent rank of the Duchess of SUTHERLAND has alone brought the incident prominently before the public knowledge. Had she been a lady of private fortunes she might have shed tears in -abundance without being noticed. As it was, the grievance attracted in her instance an universal attention, and brought to mind a misery of perpetual recurrence, which might otherwise have con tinued to be overlooked. Now, that the misfortune of the Duchess of SUTHERLAND has vividly revealed the existence and the severity of this grievance, it is incumbent upon the Legislature to interpose between those whose souls are steeped in the bitterness of sorrow, or whose hearts are agonized by the spasms of anxiety, and the callous and brutalising morality of sanctimonious directors and obsequious secretaries. Let the Mistress of the Robes at least have the con solation of reflecting that her individual sufferings have tended to the sensible diminution of those of the multitude. The people look for this proceeding on the part of the Government, and—what is more—the people shall not be disappointed. The extraordinary depreciation in the value of railway property still continues. The machinations of those who, for their own rile purposes, have pro pagated the most unfounded and slanderous reports, have for the time being, been attended with too much success. A railway panic has been excited that has led to the sacrifice of shares in the best companies at little more than one-half of their real value. We are told of the superabundance of money in the City, of capital in the bankers' hands for whieh no beneficial employment can be found, of the rates of interest for short periods being but 1 or 2 per cent., and yet from seven to eight per cent. can readily be obtained for investments in the great trunk lines, and that at the lowest 'bite of dividend that has been struck for many years, and which there is a moral certainty will be fully maintained, if not materially increased, with the restoration of commercial activity, which may now reasonably be expected. There can be no just or adequate cause for this extraordinary fact. The nation has undoubtedly passed through a severe and trying ordeal ; but the storm has been weathered, the difficulties have been success fully encountered. There are no threaten ing aspects in the political horison. The stability of our institutions has been established beyond the, possibility of doubt. The friends of peace and order have attained a glorious moral vic tory, and the insignificance of those who, bewildered by the events that have occurred and are of daily occurrence on the continent of Europe, would fain involve their native land in similar confusion, has been demonstrated in the most conclusive manner. Everything betokens a continuance of tranquillity and the consequent improvement in every description of property. Why, then, should railways prove the sole exception to the general rule ? Why should they alone continue sinking lower and lower, while everything around betokens the approach of a more propitious .season ? Many causes may have, in some degree, conduced to wards this untoward result, but there is one gigantic grievance that has been carried to the most fearful extent, and which may fairly be regarded as the main cause, the fir: et origo, of the present depression, that which has been termed the "Bearing System"-- i. the speculative sale of shares which the vendors have not in their possession at the time of the cul -1 tract, but which are to be delivered on a future day, and which they calculate upon being enabled to pur chase at a lower price in the interval, or, more pro bably, never have an actual transfer, the difference being paid or received, as the case may be, upon the i settling day. It may easily be conceived how keen an inte rest is thus excited in the minds of those who have speculated largely for a fall. They have entered upon a system of gambling upon a most gigantic scale, and we fear that the most unfair practices are too often resorted to in order to win the game upon which they hare cast so large a stake. We do not by any means assert that all who speculate upon the rise or fall of shares are actuated by dishonest motives, or that they would invent or circulate unfounded reports for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage ; but there are, unfortu nately, many who are in the daily habit of doing so without scruple or remorse. Hence the sinister rumours, the specious fabrications, that are bandied about ; hence the terror excited in the minds of bond fide holders of stock, who are induced :to sacrifice their property from the dread of some im rpending calamity. Capitalists are deterred from becoming purchasers by the same causes, and thus the object is attained : the markets are depreciated lower and lower, and thousands are involved in ruin, that the gamblers may carry on their operations without impediment or annoyance. To those who have selected established railways as a permanent investment, to whom the temporary rise or fall in the value of the shares can be no object, so long as the dividend remains un altered, these proceedings can be of little conse quence, provided they have strength of mind suffi cient to resist the panic created and excited by these insidious proceedings. But, unfortunately, too many of the bona . fide holders, by their own weakness, play into the hands of those interested parties. The mo ment a whisper prejudicial to the company in which they hold stock is circulated, the moment any mate rial fall takes place in the value of shares, they cast their shares upon the market to be sold for whatever they may bring, without pausing to in quire into the validity or accuracy of the statements that have been made, to receive the explanations that can be offered, or to weigh the probablefconsequences oa Thust s s such ptrhoelyo portions nfgallande thereof y increase a victims, the and d b senseless be t well hei f r p indiscreeta o n un i c d e b d y . which they have themselves been severe sufferers. Can no remedy be found for this deplorable state of affairs ? Is it not practicable to restore confidence in legitimate undertakings, to bring about a sounder system ? We believe that it is, and that it only requires prompt and decisive action on the part of the railway interests to do so. Let the shareholders demand from the Legislature protection for their property from the machinations of those who have no interest therein; let all speculative sales be prohibited under heavy penalties, and contracts rendered illegal whenever the vendors at the time of the bargain are not possessed of the stock they agree to deliver on a particular day. By these ,means, and these only, will railway property be restored to its legi timate value—when none but bona fide transactions take place, and none can appear as sellers but those who are in actual possession of property which they de sire to dispose of, then, and not until then, will the market be placed on a sound footing. A significant fact was mentioned in the money article of our impression of Wednesday that should not be lost sight of. It appears that but few trans fers have actually taken place, and by no means pro portionate to the quantity of business nominally transacted. Does not this incontestably prove that the temporary depression is alone occasioned by the operations of the "Bears ?" THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The state of siege of Paris was yesterday raised, on the recommendation of the Committee, by the unanimous vote of the Assembly. In the sitting of the National Assembly of Wed nesday, a Bill was introduced by the Government to repeal a decree issued by the Provisional government with respect to trial by jury. By the law of France, previous to February, no man could be convicted unless found guilty by a majority of at least eight out of the twelve jurymen appointed to try the case. The Provisional Government raised the majority to nine out of twelve. The consequence has been that in many parts of France it is difficult to get a convic tion, and the judges complain that in many instances of clear guilt the parties have escaped because it was impossible to get a majority 'of three-fourths of the whole jury. M. CRBMIEUX admitted that the ad ministration of justice had been impeded; he there fore supported the return to the old law, and the Bill was passed by a large majority. The debate on the Constitution was then resumed, and the discussion of the seventh chapter was com menced. This chapter regulates the internal admi nistration, and gave rise to an animated discussion on the principle of centralization. M. BECHARD com menced the discussion, and declared that, although he was in favour of political centralization, which had conferred immense benefits on France, he was opposed to administrative centralization. The cen tralization system had been introduced under the Empire, and was at complete variance with the prin ciples laid down by the first Republic. He contended that the right of citizens to administer their local affairs, and by officers of their own choosing, was natural and imprescriptible. Administrative cen tralization was inimical to the interests of labour, ruinous to the finances, dangerous to the liberties of the country, and destructive even of political unity. The system was not only an expensive one, but it was one which put it in the power of the capital at any time to revolutionize France. He concluded by declaring that France was weary of a system which brought about a revolution every fifteen years, and put it in the power of 50,000 Communists in the capital to bend the will of 35,000,000 of Frenchmen. Paris was not France, and he there fore would contend to the last, in favour of political, but against administrative, centralization. M. CHARLES Durm declared that administrative centralization was requisite for the success of that political centralization which AI. BECHARD admitted to be necessary. He denied that centralization para lysed public works, charities, and the instruction of the people. Great public works could not be un dertaken by small committees, and, therefore, cen tralization became necessary; and when the ques tion was examined by the Council of State, at which BENJAMIN ComsTANT was present, it was admitted that it contributed to the grandeur of the country, and that it was necessary to retain it. He concluded by expressing a hope that the Revolution of 1848 would not desert that unity and indivisibility which was the principle in force since 1789, and which was the only thing wanting in other countries to rise to the height attained by France. After M. Det►iN's speech the debate was adjourned. At the commencement of yesterday's sitting, M. AXACAND MARRAST was re-elected PreFident for the ensuing month, by the large majority of 485. Th• other candidates were M. SEMARD and M. BAC. M. BOUVET then put some questions on the subject of foreign affairs, which M. BASTIDB declined an swering ; whereupon M. BEAUNE gave notice, for Monday, of a series of interpellations to be addressed to the Government on the subject of the foreign re lations of France. The debate on the Constitution was then resumed, and was proceeding at the hour the post left. A deputation from the department of the Lot, yes terday, presented to General CAUAIIIINIC a sword, which was Toted to him by the inhabitants for his energy and courage in putting down the insurrection of June. The deputation consisted of MM. ROLLAND, LABRONSSII, ST. PRIEST, and CARLA, representatives of the department; and of MM. Amavar and LUCIEN MURAT. General CATAIGNAC, in his reply, dwelt on the necessity of conciliation. PARIS BOURSE-THIIIIIPAY, OCT. 19. THREE O'CLC4ll..—Everything was excessively dull at the , Bourse to-day, and both Funds and Railway Shares have declined. Some of the Paris houses are said to be deeply engaged in the Austrian funds, and consequently to have suffered severely by the recent events at Vienna. The apprehension of some disturb slices at the approaching election of the President also prevents people from entering into new transactions. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 10e.; the Five per Cents. 20c.; and the Loan, 25c. For Money, the Three per Cents. are the same as yesterday; Five per Cents. have fallen 10c.; and the Loan 15c.; Bons du Te4sor not quoted; Bank of France Shares have declined 10f.; Belgian Bank Shares not quoted; Five per Cents. have again declined i per cent.; Spanish Active not quoted; Three per Cents. are with out any change; Passives are quoted at 2i; Roman Bonds have fallen 1 per cent. ; Rothschild s Receipts have fallen per cent.

Three of the unfortunate officers who were con demned to death for having taken part in the late military conspiracy at Barcelona, were shot on the esplanade of the citadel of that city on the 9th, on which occasion the following order of the day was issued by General CORDOVA : " Soldiers,—A horrible conspiracy has been dis covered, which had for its object to deliver up to Cabrera the fortresses confided to your loyalty, and to place yourselves under the domination of the Queen's enemies, whom you combat With so much valour ; the principal accomplices having been brought before the military tribunal, the law has judged them; and the adjoined sentence having been approved by my authority, Don Juan Salterra, Don Ramon Lopes Vasquez, and Don Joaquin Clavijo, whose crime we must abhor, and whose blindness and misfortune we must deplore, have been shot at seven this morning. " Careful of the blood of the soldier, which is so freely shed in the field of battle, I rejoice to have not had to lose a drop of yours, since neither treason nor crime conceal themselves in your noble breasts ; but be on the alert, be prepared against the seduction of your enemies; and if any one attempts to turn you away from the path of your duties, secure him with a strong hand; present him to your chiefs, in order to receive from the Queen the reward due to loyalty, which is offered to you by your General. " FERNANDO FERNANDEZ DE CORDOVA." t The Protectionista are promoting a movement for the erection of a monument to Lord G. Bentinck in Westminster Abbey. The London and North-Western Railway Company have resolved on erecting a marble statue from the chisel of Mr. Gibson, to George Stephenson, the late eminent civil engineer, as the author of the improved locomotive, and promoter of the great railway system, 20 years ago. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND BO HEMIA. The intelligence from Vienna is only to the evening of the 13th. It is said that General AIIIIRSPERG has resigned the command of the troops to Prince :SCHWARZENBURGH, and that JELLACITICK has joined the troops lately under the command of AIIERSPERG at Enzersdorf. This account of the junction of Jaixecnica with Auzusrzas cannot, however, be depended on, as it is in direct contradiction to the dispatches from AIIERSPERG, read to the Diet on the 13th, in which he stated that he had ordered the Bin to retire. According to the Cologne Gazette the Croats ap peared on the 13th at the gate of Linimthore, but fled on the first volley. The Hungarian army was at Roth Neusiedl, two German miles distant from Vienna, the very place where JELLACRICH received and replied to the Depu ties from the Diet. Deputies from the Hungarian army had gone to Count AUEASPERG, escorted by the National Guard of Vienna, no doubt to ask him if he sup ported the Croatians or not, or if they were to con sider him as an enemy. The Allgenteine Oesterreichische says— " We should instinctively shrink from an Emperor who could call such rabble, as many of the Croats are whom we have seen, his troops; but of this we are assured, that tke Emperor does not know who goes out to the field in his name. The flight of the mili tary from the Schwarzenherg Garten is variously accounted for. The most credible reason is the entreaty of the German regiments, who naturally did not like to,fight against their brethren in Vienna. Another report states that the troops had learned that in future no soldier should receive any pay except on the soil of his native land—the Czech in Bohemia, the Pole in Poland—a m easure w hi c h cer t a i n l y i s justified in :principle, on the equality of nationalities, but which is said to have induced the Poles to demand leave to return to their own country. " It was stated in the Diet that the professors and students from Salzburg had arrived at Vienna to conquer or die for liberty. 500 National Guards bad arrived from Gratz.- Olmutz sends an admirable address of sympathy, and places its guards at the disposal of the Diet. A proclamation from Prince Windeschgratz was also read, which was widely cir culated in Bohemia and Moravia, wherein the events at Vienna are placed in a 'disgraceful light, and the introduction of a Military Government is, on the contrary, placed in admirable perspective, as the only means of safety. On the requisition of the Minister Krauss the duty on provisions for Vienna was abolished. " The address of Borrosch, and the deputies chosen to present it, have already gone off to the Emperor." The sum of 600,000 florins, which JELLACHICH expected to receive at Vienna, has been seised by the Diet, in the house of Count Zicur. The following proclamation has been published by the Diet : "In consequence of the declaration made public at Prague by certain of the Bohemian Deputies, the Diet decides that it has never in its deliberations during the late days of trouble broken through the rule laid down. The Diet at Vienna is the only legal consti tuent and law-giving authority. The great majority, mindful of its duty, have not abandoned their seats, and will proceed uninterruptedly with their task without allowing themselves to be turned from it by any hindrance. The Diet has called on all absent Members instantly to perform their duty to their constituents and to the united monarchy. This can only be done here at the seat of the Diet. Any attempt on the part of Members or others to assemble at another place in order to take decisions, w hi c h it only belongs to the Diet to do, is illegal and null. The Diet declares any proclamation to the above effect null and void, protests against all and any such deci sions, and makes the proposers or participators therein responsible for the consequences. (Signed) " SMOLK A, President. " Vienna, Oct. 13." The following is the text of the rescript from the EMPEROR : " To the people of my German Hereditary Pro vinces,—When I left Schiiiibrunn I sent a manifesto to Vienna for counter-signature and publication, in which I expressed nty utmost indignation and sorrow on account of the deplorable and fearful events which occurred through the bold pretensions of a small but active faction, hostile to all liberty, although I had resolved to return without any other guarantee except the love of the inhabitants. At the same time I ex plained the principal object of my journey—namely, to gain a standing-point in the monarchy more appro priate at this moment, from which I should be able to establish constitutional liberty as a real and lasting good, common to all, and equally beneficial to all, without curtailing in any wuy those advantagss which already have received my sanction. As by the dis turbances at Vienna that manifesto may have been prevented from reaching its destination, and therefore may not have become generally known, it is my wish to notify this circumstance to the provinces, espe cially to those through which I travel, in order to quiet their apprehensions. Herzogenbusch, Oct. B,' 1848." " FERDINAND. The Risrensburger Zeitung states, on good autho rity, that the EMPEROR arrived at Hartberg on the 10th instant, at Neissa on the 11th, and that he was expected at Znaim on the 12th. He was ac companied by the Archduke Dumas CHARLES, and also, it was supposed, by the Archduke Louis. His escort was commanded only by Bohemian noblemen. He had thrown himself quite into the arms of the Sclavonians. The EMPEROR, in his journey, is accompanied by three companies of horsemen, half a flying battery, and a division of light horse; his suite fills five royal carriages, and following these vehicles there are some companies, in the same order. The EMPEROIt, it is supposed will for the present t a ke up his residence at Brunn, in Moravia, which is situated at nearly an equal distance from Vienna and from Prague, and which is near the strong fortress of Olmuts, into which the EMPEROR could retire in case of necessity,. Other accounts state that the EMPEROZ intends at once to retire to Olmuts. nom lt in w at a e s d rumoured t o h f at lv lV ar t : D a z n d m t h(laßtATHsolitlaNduobLent and DosuLorr had tendered their resignation on account of that appointment. The German association in Austria has protested against the crossing of the German frontiers by the Croats, and has sent that protest to the Administrator and to the National Assembly at Frankfort. Advises from Prague of the 11th inst., in the orani,lche Zeilung, state that WINDESCHGRATZ had been appointed Cummanderin-Chief of the army to be marched on Vienna; that 90 pieces of artillery had been sent to the capital from Budweis, and that there was a firm resolution to act with all energy and severity. The Kolniache Zeitung has also letters from Prague of the 13th inst. They say that by the events at Vienna the gap between the German and Czechish inhabitants lad been widened. In the Sclavonic Central•Blattern a fanatic attempt was made on Germanism and on the Frankfort faction. The Sclavonic agitators, HiIIUSAN and STLII, excited the ' students against the Magyars; there were also bitter words uttered against the Germans. The deputy RIEGER asserted that he was able to prove that the movement at Vienna had been effected by Hungarian money. All speeches in the University of Prague were delivered in the Czechish language. Several letters of importance were found in the cabinet of Count LATOUR, some of which have been published in the Vienna papers. The following c urious passage occurs in one of them, written by I‘l. PROLESCH, under date Athens, August 30, 1848 : What makes me most uneasy are our unfortu nate relations with regard to Hungary. I think we ought not to deceive ourselves as to the comp l ete separation of that country, ~ and it would be one of the greatest blunders possible to furnish the Hunga rians with the means for effecting their o bj ect. I explain th a t s tate of affairs by the co-operation of Esterhazy and Lord Palmerston, and by the influ ence which the latter exercises with us. Now, I have for years considered Lord Palmerston our most decided e ne m y, and still consider him to be so; and to trust to England, as long as that man guides her policy, appears to me an anachronism scarcely to be equalled." The writer of the letter then proceeds :-- " We hear daily complaint that we want men. We have men ; but we place the most important affairs into the hands of those who are not fit for them. That is, in fact, our deadly evil. The Russians gain ground in the Danubian principalities. We have (in the year 1829), with an inactivity bor dering on treason, allowed the mouth of the Danube to fall into their hands, and that at the very moment when the position of the Russian army was such that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg!' readily would have listened to any protest. Perhaps even now we shall allow ourselves to be duped by phrases, and we shall assist the Russians in establishing their paramount influence as far as the Drave and the Save. The Porte resists, but there is no one to back her. France follows in the train of England ! England is in understanding with Russia ; and Austria and Germany, who ought to take the lead, are nothing but zeros." The news of the Vienna insurrection became known at Pesth on the Bth inst., and excited the utmost en thusiasm. KOSSUTH made a thundering speech. As the Viennese had furthered the Magyar cause, he said, Hungary ought not to abandon Vienna. No negotiations whatever were to be entered into with the Camarilla, but it was the duty of the Hungarians to sacrifice themselves in assisting the Austrian people. The Government was entrusted to the Committee for the defence of the country. KOSSUTH was nomi nated President, and it was resolved that on the very same day troops should march for Vienna. A deputation from the Hungarian Diet has arrived at Vienna with an address, announcing that the Hun garian army had set out for the purpose of conquering JELLACHICH. It is said that 8,000 Hungarian troops have entered Vienna, and that 15,000 have gone in pursuit of JELLACHICII. It is stated in a letter from Presburg that some of the men in garrison there shot two of their officers, who attempted to prevent them from fraternizing with the National Guards after the latter bad got posses sion of a letter from JALICACHICH to General KNOIIII, asking for a reinforcement and for information respecting the state of public opinion in that town. It will be remembered that the Ban of Croatia, when he did learn how matters stood in Presburg, threatened to bombard it—a threat which, however, he did not and could not carry into execution. Some disturbance took place at Trieste at an early hour on the morning of the 10th, the crowds who had been waiting up all night for the arrival of the Vienna mail having insisted upon the opening of the dispatches, and the communication of their contents. A company of grenadiers loaded their guns in the presence of the multitude, but General GIULAI ordered the former to retire, and partly made known to the people the nature of the intelligence he had received. Several persons were arrested. In the sitting of the 13th of the Diet in Vienna, after the announcement that the National Bank and the savings bank of Lower Austria had been placed under the protection of the Diet, ScnuszLie, on whom the duty has devolved of informing the mem bers of the current events of the day, announced that it had been decreed to devote 2,000,000 florins, to afford relief to poor workmen, and 200,000 florins for the maintenance of those under arms. He fur ther announced that it was with great difficulty that the population was prevented from attacking the troops outside; that hitherto peaceable measures had alone been resorted to, and that a message had been sent to the Emrazon, to prevent an attack on the other side. He read various ad dresses from Saleburgh and other towns express ing sympathy for Vienna, as also the following proclamation of Prince WINDESCHGRA.TZ to the Bohemians : " TO THE INHABITANTS OF BOMEMIA. " Anarchy and all its disastrous consequences which have unhappily developed themselves in so fearful a manner at Vienna, and which threaten to undermine the foundations of the legal constitution, impose upon me the duty to leave this with a por tion of the brave troops under my orders for the defence of the sacred person of the Monarch, and for the preservation of the unity of the constitutional monarchy. The orderly and peaceful attitude and the loyal sentiments of the inhabitants of this capi tal have given me the strongest assurance that the lamentable events of June were chiefly the result of foreign influence. I therefore leave the city and the country with the firm conviction that order and tran quillity will not be disturbed. The honomr and wel tare of the nation truly depend upon my hopes not being deceived. _ " Prince WIN DESCHGRATZ, " Commander-in Chief. " Prague, October 11, 1848." SCRUSELXA then proceeded to report that he had received a telegraphic dispatch announcing that the EMPEROR was expected at Olmiltz on the 14th, and another from Deputy I.suxzn, from Bruno, to the effect that that city was quiet, and that many De puties had gone out to meet the EMPEROR. He had received a message from the camp of Count AUERS PERG and the Ban JELLACHICII (EINE Zuschrift aus dent Leer des Grafen Auersperg and des Banns Jellathich), that the Count had requested the BAN to retire. The BAN had replied that he had ap proached the Austrian frontier by superior orders; that he there was informed of the state of the capital; as an Imperial General, he could not regard himself as a stranger on Imperial ground. SCRIM/EMU fur ther announced that he had received a deputation from the Hungarian camp, demanding an escort to lead them to Count AUEESPERG, as they were the bearers of important dispatches. An escort of National Guards was immediately granted. PRUSSIA. A mob assembled on the 12th, for the purpose of burning General WRANGEL in effigy. Tile Burgher Guard persuaded them to disperse, so that there was no necessity to have recourse to force. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament, on the 16th, a question was put to the Ministry, whether Imperial troops had already been ordered to march for Austria. It was answered in the negative. On the same day the Assembly, almost unani mously, resolved to allow the legal prosecution against the deputies MM. ZITZ, SimoN, and ScuLorEL, to take place. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. OCT. Ig.—Yesterday and to-day the deputies from Kiel arrived at Schleswig. The first sitting took place at ten o'clock, and was held in the future hall of meeting of the Diet—the Schleswig Senate House, It was opened by a concise speech by the President BARGUN. The discussion of -the Government mea sures in regard to the Ministry was the order of the day, but was postponed till tomorrow. Then fol lowed the election of the bureau, the result of which was the re-election of the former functionaries, ex cept M. SAMWER, who will be succeeded by the ad vocate GRIESEL as secretary. The Senate House has been quite deserted by the civil authorities, and placed at the disposal of the Diet. The meetings are held in the great hall, which is as large as that hitherto used in Kiel. It is quite suitable to the present object. It appears that steps will shortly be taken for carrying out a change in the government, for the union introduced by FRANC/EX and STEDMANN is not at all approved on the German side. The persons who are designated as members of the new Administration—viz., RAVENTLOW, HUNTZE, BOTSIN, PRENZER, and MOLTKE—are all with the Provisional Government in Sehleswig.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, Oct. 13. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, OCT. 17.—T0-day the Second Chamber of the States-General held a short sitting, which opened at eleven in the morning. A commis ,ion was appointed for the verification of the powers of the deputies recently elected members of the Chamber. After the examination the committee decided upon their admission, and they accordingly took their seats. The Chamber then proceeded to the formation of a list of three candidates, to be presented for the selection of the KING, for the Presidency of the Chamber. They were as follow : — First candidate, M. B. VAN HoGEN, by 31 vot es o ut of 41 ; second candidate, M. DE MAN, by 26 votes out of 4 8 ; third candidate, M. VIRIDLY MEGAN, by 10 votes out of 48. The 13 other votes were given to M. VAN p Azigun . A committee was then charged to present this list to the KING., ---- --- The Handelsblacl of this day contains the following paragraph : " Contrary to the exaggerated rumours which are afloat respecting the progress of the cholera in our city, we are authorised to state that in the cholera hospital only seven parsons attacked with this ma lady entered during the whole of last week; of these four died, two recovered, and one remains under treatment.", POLAND. The intelligent .e from Cracow is up to the 11th. The city was in a. great state of excitement, as it is now certain that : t considerable number of Russian troops are assembl it 'g at Alichalowice, distant about a German mile. WALLACHL/ 1. AND MOLDAVIA The proclamation i ssued by General LUDERS, when entering Wallachia, contains the following pas- sage : " His Majesty the Emperor of all the Ruasias, in accordance with the. Sultan, has resolved speedily to put a stop to those ti isturbances, and to re-establish on solid foundations a legal Government in Wal lachia. I was comm. issioned, accordingly, militarily to occupy Wallachia, together with the troops of the Sultan, in order to check the insurrectionary pro paganda mild to rest( re to your country its lawful Government." IT ALY. INAUGURATION OF A LIBERAL MINISTR: Y IN TUSCANY. The Florence Gar- ette, of the 13th, announces the resignation of CAPPOt II and his colleagues. On the following day anew M. inistry was formed as follows: President of the Coup cil M. G. B. Nicolini Interior . M. Guerrazai Foreign Affairs. ...... .M. Montanelli ..M. Mariano d'Ayala Public Works ....... M. Mazzoni Public Worship Professor Pigli Grace and Justice.... M. Guido Rontani Finances The members of at) new Cabinet all profess the most liberal opinions. I .lChe announcement of the change of Ministry was received with great satisfaction at Leghorn. The Alba of Florence., of the 12th, publishes a letter from Venice of the 7 Lb, which states that a revolution had broken out at Trieste, and that a Republic had been proclaimed. This rumour, however, requires confirmation. FALL OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE (TIIIS DAY.) CANTERBURY, FRDMY MORNING.—An accident oc curred this morning, about one o'clock, to the luggage and fish train, which leaves Margate shortly before midnight. It appearedi that everything proceeded in the usual manner until the train reached the bridge which crosses the river Stour in the hamlet of Chartham, about three miles frora this city, upon approaching which the engine appeared to oscillate considerably. The next moment the bridge gave way, most part of it falling as the engine and trucks were about to pass. The crash is said to have been tremendous, and the conse quences may be faintly imagined from the fact that the whole train, engine, tender, and trucks fell into the stream, and into the vale beneath, completely destroying that portion of the line, and scattering the various arti cles consigned for conveyance to the metropolis. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY STATION, LONDON, FRI DAY MORNING, 10 A.m.—Upon inquiry this morning at the London terminus, the reporter was informed, by a gentleman connected with the Superintendent's depart ment, that it was the fact that an accident had occurred in consequence of the downfall of part of Chartham bridge, near Canterbury. No information has yet reached the officials as to any person being injured. The line at present between Chilham and Canterbury stations is quite blocked up. The mail train was detained a short time while ar rangements could be made for forwarding the passengers and letter- bags. The cause of the fall of the bridge is supposed to be the excessive floods which have recently taken place in the valley through which the river Stour flows. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.) IN RE DARBY. This bankrupt was described as a horse dealer in Dorset-mews, Dorset-square, and to-day was appointed for the last examination, which had been adjourned till this day in order that an issue might be tried as to whether an act of bankruptcy had been committed. A verdict in the affirmative having been returned, Mr. CooKE now applied, on behalf of the bankrupt, for a further adjournment, in order that the accounts, which were likely to be very voluminous, might be pre pared. - Mr. JONES, on behalf of the assignees, offered no objection. His HONOUR said, it must be at the expense of the bankrupt. He hoped an end would be put to the ex pense and delay which ought not to hare occurred in such a case. Enortnous expenses had been incurred through sheer obstinacy from the beginning. Mr. Woodin, a farrier, claimed to p rove f or 318/. 14s. 2d., for shoeing. He said he was by no means satisfied with the manner in which the fiat was worked. It was a mysterious case. He felt so dis satisfied that he should take the inquiry out of the hands of the assignees. His Hortowl Said he (Mr. Woodin) could do so, but as it must be at his own expense, he had better take time to consider. Mr. Woodin said expense would not deter him. Mr. JONES said the assignees would prosecute any inquiry Mr. Woodin would suggest, but at present they had no point to direct their attention to. The Case was then adjourned tor a month. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) James Mills, a well-dressed young man, was charged before Mr. Henry with being found in the garden of the house 94, Great Russell -street, Bedford-square, with intent to commit a burglary. It appeared that a police. man saw the prisoner get over the garden wall at two o'clock this morning. He followed him over the wall, and found him lying down in a grotto. Being asked what brought him there, the prisoner replied that he came to lie down, having no bed to go to. Beside him on the ground were found a set of house-breaking implements and a taper, and in his pocket several matches. In his defence he denied all knowledge of the taper and the impleinents, but admitted that he had the matches. He was a cheesemonger's shopaian, and referred for a character to Mr. Lader, cheesemongt-r, 69, Leather-lane, and to Mr. Bateman in the same trade and street. He was remanded for the purpose of inquiring into his statement. WORSHIP-STREET. —(THIS DAY). A young man, named Joseph Boarbank, an apprentice of Mr. John Hall, carpet-bag maker, Southampton buildings, Holborn, was charged with robbing his master. It appeared that the prisoner was yesterday morning observed by two police. constables of the G division to be heavily laden, in Luke •street, Shoreditch, and upon their interrogating the prisoner as to his possession of his bulky bundle, he answered that he was taking it to one of his master's customers. The officers followed him to the business premises of a Mr. Archer in the same street, where the bundle, consisting of a quantity of choice leather, was left, as if sent by the prisoner's master. No invoice, however, having been Lent with the goods, en quiries were made, and. it was not only ascertained that the property in question had been stolen by the prisoner, but that he had been for a length of time robbing his master in a similar manner. On the application of Mr. Hall, the prisoner was re manded, in order to bring forward other eyidence as to his delinquency. RAILWAY PROPERTY.

Your obedient servant, Exeter, Oct. 19, 1848. OBSERVER. BODY or A GENTLEMAN POUND OFF CRZMORNE GARDZNS.—This morning information was forwarded to the various metropolitan and City police-offices and stations that the body of a gentleman, unknown, had been discovered in the Thames, off Cremorne Gardens, Chelsea. The age of the deceased is stated to be about 30 or 35 years, of dark complexion, 5 feet 8 inches in height, dark hair and whiskers, which meet nearly at the chin. In the pockets of the deceased were found a silk handkehchief and a razor. The body of deceased is dressed in a blue Chesterfield coat , dar k figured double breasted vest, dark brown speckled stockings, and li es at St. Luke's workhouse, Chelsea. It has been definitely arranged betwixt parties connected with Glasgow Town Council, that James Anderson, Esq., will be elected Lord Provost in Novem ber neat, without oppoition Mercury.
