The most energetic exertions were made by the " Bears" yesterday again to depress the prices of railway stock, and to set aside the marked improve ment that followed the publication of "the state- ment" exposing the " erroneous statements and calculations put forward in the columns of tha Weekly Share List." All their efforts were, however, fruitless, and the prices of Saturday were not only well maintained, but a further improvement took place. It was discovered that there was a scarcity of stock for delivery—that the gentry who had taken upon themselves to dispose of the property of other people, were unable to obtain shares sufficient to complete the contracts into which they had entered. The prosperity that bad for some time past attended their operations had induced them to enter too deeply into the hazardous game. They hoped that their fictitious reports and unfounded rumours would still prove efficacious, by terrifying timid men to such an extent as to make them sacrifice their shares, at the wholly inadequate prices fixed by their oppo nents, and also of deterring capitalists from making investments at any quotation, however tempting. For once, however, they have been deeply and bitterly deceived. Their flagitious schemes and devices have proved wholly unavailing ; their weapons have been turned against themselves. The missiles have re- coiled upon the projectors. " The engineer" bath been "hoist with his own petard." No hope re mains of retrieving their position before the arrival of the day of retribution. There is neither time nor opportunity for working their spells, and endeavouring to escape even with " shattered plumes." Thie very day the account must he rendered, and, if we are not greatly mistaken, it will prove a "settling" day to many of the fraternity. As the victories of " Surplice ". for the Derby and St. Leger are said to have purified the racing atmosphere, and purged the bet ting ring of those who disgraced it by their infamous proceedings, so the events of the last few days may cleanse the Augean stable of the Stock Exchange from the filth and venom that had accumulated, and which rendered its atmosphere pestilential, and may free its precincts from the hordes of vermin by which they were infested. The fact of the scarcity of shares for delivery, to which we have alluded, affords the most conclusive evidence of the manner in which the "Bears " have carried on their transactions, and of the true cause of the great depreciation in the value of railway pro perty that has been perceptible for some time past, and of the soundness of the advice which we offered yesterday to bond fide purchasers, vie., that they should refuse to accept " the differences" between the prices which they have stipulates to pay and the nominal quotations, but that in every instance they should I insist upon a literal performance of their contracts, ail actual delivery and transfer of the stock that the vendors had agreed to supply. They may be certain that by such a course they will do more to sustain prices, and, to defeat the machinations of the " Bears," than by almost any other that could be suggested. The real value of a thing s what it would bring when exposed for sale in market overt. The prices will in a great degree be regulated by the proportion between the supply and demand. If the supply be greater than the demand, prices must fall until new purchasers are tempted to enter the market, and restore the equi librium. If, on the other hand, there is an anxious desire to purchase, and the supply is limited, there will be an improvement in prices, each being anxious to provide for his own wants, lest he may suffer from the deficiency. Such are the causes of the ordinary fluctuations, when legitimate influences only are in operation. The " Bears," however, by their dealings created a fictitious supply, and by disposing recklessly of shares that had no real existence, or over which they had no power or control, they brought the market lower and lower, to the great injury and prejudice of all those interested in pro perty of that description. Nothing, however, will so effectually stop those proceedings as an actual transfer whenever a sale was effected. It would completely denude the parties of the weapons which they have wielded with such mischievous ingenuity, and restore the market to a healthy state and a natural condition. Another great amelioration of the present system would be the total and unconditional abolition of all " time bargains." They only keep up a system of gambling of the worst description, and which it is essential to have suppressed as speedily as possible. Lotteries have been re garded as contrary to public policy, and have there fore, been prohibited. Gambling with cards or dice is rendered illegal, and persons resorting to houses established for the purr)os, are subjected to heavy penalties, and yet they ..?al with their own pro perty. If they ♦vin, the gain from persons who have voluntarily stal their money, end who are prepared to " ata to hazard of the die." If they are losers they are themselves the only sufferers. But the " Bears," the gamblers of the Stock Exchange, if successful in their schemes may involve thousands of inno• cent parties—of those who entered into no gambling speculations, but invested the savings of their honest industry in what they conceived to be good securities —in the most serious losses, if not in absolute ruin. Widows and orphans may be among the victims who have to lament their too fatal success. There can be no question that their proceedings are a thousand times more mischievous to the community in general more contrary to public pplicy—than the mere private gaming which is so pro perly prohibited under stringent penalties. But if the minor abuse is prevented—if enact ments are passed to protect men from their own; evil passions, why should the monster griev ance be tolerated and carried on under the light of heaven, without let or hindrance? Why should innocent persons be left without protection, and ex posed to the attacks of all those who choose to de preciate their property ? The small gambler is sent to the treadmill. The ",Bear" parades his profits with impunity. The minor hells are broken into by the police. The Pandemonium of the Stock Exchange opens its portals to the privileged classes, who freely resort there, and gamble away the goods of others, who are not allowed to witness or be present at the sale of their own property, while, even under the most favourable circumstances, a considerable per tentage is lopped off for those who stand between bond fide vendors and purchasers and reap a consider able profit from both. Education is one of the most effectual securities against revolution. It preserves the people from the dangerous seductions of discontent, like the cotton which wadded the ears of Ulysses against the death ful and ravishing canticles of the Syrens. At such an epoch as the present, when on every side is audible the voice of the Circe of Rebellion, it becomes doubly advisable to surround our population with some such protection as that which is afforded by the beautiful buckler of Knowledge. It is for these reasons that we are disposed to rejoice in a peculiar manner at every additional evidence which is afforded that the great and glorious cause of education is still progressing—silently and almost imperceptibly,: it is true, but still progressing. Our contemporary the Edinburgh Review, when recently holding up to the Govern• ment the tremendous alternative of Reform or Revo lution, indicated a coincidence with the opinion which we have just expressed as to the tranquillising tenden cies of instruction, when it spoke as follows :—" The Evil principle and the Good would seem to be contending within our land for victory. In that contest everything is involved. Let the friends of order, of education, and religion look to it. They have plainly not an hour to lose." Plainly—yes, as plainly as the discontent which is developing itself gradually and perpetually among the more ignorant classes of the community, and which transforms them into the ductile tools of the demagogue and the political adventurer. The terrible truths of the alliance subsisting between rebellion and ignorance have been written in bloody characters by the hand of PROVIDENCE upon the broad chart of the Continent, from the diabolical atrocities perpe trated in the city of Paris by the insurgents of June to the murder and rapine by which the brutalised lazzaroni ravaged the streets and desolated the habi tations of the city of Naples. Eighteen forty-eight has been too fruitful of the tokens of this appal- ng and disastrous connexion between the want of knowledge and the want of subordination. Since the memorable revival of the movement in behalf of the uneducated towards the commencement of 18 47, a hundred thousand additional arguments have been afforded to the advocates of education ; and those arguments cannot but prove most advantageous in forwarding the wishes and realising the visions of the practical philanthropist. As a brilliant testimony that the interest of the more rational and influential Reformers of the United Kingdom has in no measure abated, but that it has on the contrary extended its influence throughout the country, we need only direct attention to the strenuous exertions which have recently been made in the right direction by some of the most eminent and enlightened of our English ecclesiastics. Notwithstanding the glut of pamphlets upon the sub ject of National Education which streamed from the printing press in the course of last summer, the efforts of the pamphleteer have not been relaxed, nor has the power afforded to the humanitarian by the brochure of 32 pages octavo been entirely abandoned. This circumstance is attested not the least conspicu- ously by the Address* just issued to the multitude by the Reverend the Vicar of Harwell, an addres s in which is gracefully illustrated the system of instruction adopted in an establishment in Lower Toynton, in the county of Lincolnshire. Something, however, beyond the isolated and unpretending efforts of the pamphleteer is requisite at the present extraor dinary period, or otherwise the cause of education will be overlooked by the many, and be remembered only by the philosophic and reflective few. While th e ears of the million are stunned by the noise of the awful events transpiring in all directions, the unob trusive eloquence of the pamphleteer upon education becomes necessarily almost wholly inaudible. The roar of the bombardment of Vienna, the reverbera- tions of the oratorical displays of BUTT and WHITESIDE, the din of the rivalry which is alread beginning among the French Presidential candidates, the sullen auguries of revolt which are at this mo ment booming across the Mediterranean, from the distant cities of Lombardy, the intermittent explo sions of opinion in Cephalonia, the rigour exercised by the new Viceroy of EGYPT, the vociferous dispu. tants at Frankfort, monopolise the attention of the popular mind so forcibly as to drown the eloquence, however earnest, of the educational pamphleteer. A. new medium for the advocacy of the beneficent cause has been found necessary, and that medium has been lately and most effectively employed by an ecclesiastic whose abilities are not less distin• guished than his liberality, we mean the Reverend JoHrt DUFTON of Warehorne Rectory. In another portion of this evening's impression will be found an epitome of an introductory lecture delivered by this eminent divine before the resident and honorary * "An Address to the Nation," &c., p.p. 77, Bvo. By the Vicar of Harwell, Btrks, London. 1846. THE S MN, LONDON, TUESDAY members of the Ashford Mechanics' Institution. The abstract is transcribed from the columns of the Kentish Observer, a publication whose orthodox cha racter has not precluded it from thus participating in the propagation of ideas hitherto regarded as directly adverse to the interests and aspirations of the Establishment. Of itself this circumstance would be admirably propitious. But there are additional reasons for rejoicing at the appearance of the Rev. Lecturer before the members of the Mechanics' Insti tute at Ashford, reasons discoverable in the earnest and logical arguments which constitute the very bone and marrow of his discourse. Among other things it must be remembered that the auditors were the men of Kent, that Kent which was formerly pro verbial for its antagonism to the spread of enlightenment. If the S wan of Avon, the gentle SIIAKSPERE, whose divine song ilas of late provoked the jealousy of every wretched little aspirant after notoriety, from the quibbling absurdities of Mr. BIRCH down to the in lecent nonsense of Mr. DICKSON, if, we say, our im mortal SUAKSFERE is to believed, the intellectual inferiority of the Kentish men had before his time been commemorated in a proverb. Bona terra mala pms was as credible an axiom with our ancestors as that other axiom Point d' argent, point de Suisse is with ourselves. Under the influence of Mechanics' Insti tutes, like that at Ashford, and of lecturers, such as the Rev. JOHN DUFTON, the old Saxon county will obliterate all remembrance of its ancestral short comings. Those who bear in recollection the pamphlets to which we have already made allusion, the educational pamphlets of 1847, will not require to be reminded that one of the most brilliant, if not the most brilliant, of the whole number was from the Rector of Ware horne. The pamphleteer has entered the rostrunlv of the lecturer, and his advocacy of the benign - principles of instruction has only been enhanced i❑ energy by the fluctuation of his intellectual cha. - racter. He has in a few masterly sentences expose 1 the fallacy of those who would oppose the diffusion of knowledge among the multitude either from reli gious objections, or from " exclusive" prejudices, or from a mistaken regard for political expediency. The lecture is altogether eminently worthy of an intellect, a benevolence, and a liberality which were neverthe less very far from requiring this additional illus tration. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The approaching election of President is the one absorbing topic which engrosses the attention of all France at the present moment, and is the subject of comment in all the papers, with the exception of the Constitutionisel. The organ of M. Tuizas still main tains a cautious silence. It is in vain that the Na tional calls upon the Constitutionnel to declare for or against Louis NAPOLEON. M. MIRES " bides bis time." It is said that he would long since have de clared in favour of the Bonaparte candidate, had not Prince Louis imprudently mixed himself up with M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN. An addition has been made to the list of candidates for the Presidency. The Journal des Debats hints that it would be advisable to choose M. MOLE for President. In the same journal we find the following description of the present state of France : " Since France was led on the 24th February to run after an adventure for which sbe had no mind, she is now ready to run after adventures of all sorts. Alea facia est—such is our motto. The country has borrowed from NI. Lamartine his dangerous thoughtlessness and chal lenges to futurity. Do not ask us to stop at any part of the inclined plane ; the country does not wish to stop. She desires to go on and to go on. To see the way she runs one would think she had an aim . The National Assembly faithfully represents the country, and the Assembly puts boldly into the lottery. It might have decreed two chambers, but two chambers would have afforded a resting-place. Take care,' cries the impa tient genius that pushes us on, you could not with two chambers, if you desired it, change power and the government within an hour. It is one Assembly that can alone push on quick, and do everything, and we have the one chamber.' Well, a President might have been named by the Assembly, but that would have given the government a sort of unity, and would not have sur rendered everything to chance. But chance is the sole God that France adores. Why, then, interfere with our destiny ? By causing the President to be named by the country all is obscure and unknown. Tent mieux! it is precisely that which pleases and attracts us. No one can tell what may happen to-morrow. Dis ignotis! Chance will do all! The die is cast! In fine, the drawing of the lottery might have been postponed; the election of the President might have been adjourned. No! let there be no delay. Since we have a chance to run, let us run it as quickly as possible. Let us hasten! The 10th of December is not near enough. Fantastical impatience of the national character; veritable furie Francaise ; and which is yet not without sense and rea son of its own. We do only rely so much upon destiny because we have no more reliance upo❑ ourselves. We resign ourselves into the hands of chance, thinking, after all, that somehow or another chance will bring all round right again. There are two sorts of societies in which revolutions are easy—those which are tired of stability, and those which are tired of instability—those in which nothing has changed, and those which change every day. Movement brings movement as wave follows wave—and that is our case. Not seeing a port, we call on the waves to hasten and to push on one after another that we may be thrown somewhere to the east or t• the west to the south or to the north. We trust to the winds, for we have no compass." The Bien Public has the following on the Presi. dential election : " Tho Presse has thus characterized the different can didates for the Presidentship of the Republic. Ge- neral Cavaignac is the incarnation of the National ; M. de Lamartine is moderation; M. Ledru-Rollin, intimi dation; M. Thicrs, intervention; Marshal Bugeaud, arbitrary rule; M. Louis Napoleon, the future.' Of all these appreciations we see only one which appears to us just and absolutely true, viz., M. de Lamartine, is mode ration. Yes; all Frgnce admits the truth of that de claration. For the fifteen years that this illustrious statesman has been in political life there is not one word or act of his that has not been a pledge of modera tion. Moderation is, in cur eyes, the very first quality of a statesman. Passion is required to effect a revolu tion, moderation to organize it; passion is the fever of the mind, moderation is the power of reason and the force of conscience." The election for the department of Calvados takes place on the 19th November, and according to the Assemblee Nationale, M. GuizoT will very probably be chosen. The committee appointed to revise the Constitution completed its labours on Saturday. The report will probably be presented to the Assembly to-day. The debate on the Budget will, it is expected, occupy the whole of the present week, and on Monday, pro bably, will be commenced the discussion on the re port of the Committee for the revision of the Consti tution ; after which will come on the great debate on the question of the prorogation of the Assembly during the time of the election of President. At the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday M. TROUPE CHAUVEL, the new Finance Minister, presented a decree the object of which is to indemnify the holders of bons of the savings banks for their losses. In place of taking the Five per Cent. Rentes at 80, as was resolved under the administration of M. tiounkcHAux, they are to have them at 70 ; and, be sides this, the b 42714 are to be reimbursable on and after the Ist of January. The Assembly then proceeded to discuss the Budget. The debate had not concluded when the post left. BOURSE, PARIS, MONDAY, OCT. 30.

At the Vienna extremity of the bridge the city artillery was drawn up, and on the other the artillery of \Vindischgratz. At the time appointed by Windischgratz for the delivering up of their arms, the Viennese had made no submission, and. Windisch gratz immediately commenced the bombardment. This took place at nine o'clock in the morning at various places, and at four o'clock in the afternoon the bom bardment became general, the firing continuing without interruption; till that time the Viennese had retained their position on the Vienna extremity of the railway bridge near Floiisdorf, but at five o'clock they retired, and in order to save themselves from their pursuers, they set fire to a second large railway bridge (entirely constructed of wood) as well as the other viaduct. "Soon after another fire blamed forth in the west of the city. The traveller stated that at the moment of his departure this fire and that of the railway bridge was so fierce that the sky was illuminited far beyond the city. " SIX O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING, " The railway train from Upper Silesia. which has just arrived, has brought us no fresh intelligence. The printed news extends to the 24th in the evening. " Travellers who arrive from Ratisbon state that the Hungarians had attacked Jellachich in the rear, while the Viennese at the same time made a sortie. " An eye-witness who was at the railway station at lilawsdorf states that Prince Windischgratz yesterday, at noon, transferred his Lead-quarters to the palace at SchOnbrunn. To-day the city artillery placed at the bridges of the Danube endeavoured to repel the troops who were on this side, but the Imperial troops replied with so much vigour that three cannon have been dis mounted. The first sortie of the Viennese took place yesterday morning at the Nussdorf line, the second at three o'clock in the afternoon; both have been without any result. To-day, at four o'clock, the two bridges of the Danube have been evacuated, and the Imperial troops have crossed the river. " The bridges have been replaced with great speed. The cannonade continues at the Nussdorf line, and an inn situated beyond the line is in flames. A second fire has taken place in the faubourg of Wieden—at this mo ment an active firing is heard at Brigittenan." The Silesian Gezzee contains the following com munication from a man of undoubted authority, who is occupying an official post in the immediate vicinity of the scene of action : FLORISDORY (Br VIENNA), OCT. 24, Eight o'clock in the Morning. "I am writing these lines amid the thunder of the cannon. After quitting mezing, wnicti is Halt a league from Vienna, and where the Imperial Palace of Schbn• brunn is situated, at two o'clock yesterday /afternoon, I nt of the blockade of Vienna, was . - which took place on that day, to make a detour of three miles for the purpose of reaching the station of Flo risdorf. This station is under the protection of the Imperial troops. Yesterday already hostilities com menced, and this on the side of the city; the Viennese made some sorties, and to-day endeavoured to clear the Danube bridges, which wero occupied by the military. The Imperial artillery stationed at the head of the bridges fired about twenty rounds, by which the Vienna artillery was compelled to give way. " This afternoon the term which Windiscbgratz has allowed the city will expire. He is now resolved com pletely to cut the city off from all communication, and if possible to take it, without shedding blood. He also expects that the better minded among the inhabitants will do their utmost to restore order and peace, and avert the dreadful catastrophe which threatens the city. The day before, yesterday all the diplomatists quitted Vienna and repaired to Sliezeg, where Windischgratz has taken up his quarters in the Palace of SchOubrunn." " HALF-PAST FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON. " The Imperial Artillery has succeeded in taking the two large bridges of the Danube, which I have since visited. " SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING. _ _ " I again hear a very animated firing. his asserted that the engagement has re commenced on one side of the city." In direct contradiction to the above report, the Silesian Gazette contains the assertions of travellers who state that the Viennese have taken two pontoons which WINDISCHGRATZ threw across the Danube, and remained victors of the sortie. The skirmish is said to have lasted from early in the morning till the afternoon, and is also said to have been twofold, in asmuch as the Hungarian army attacked JELLA- , CHICII, while the Viennese attacked Wismsca- GRATZ. Whether the people obtained any advantage besides their victory is not stated. The Prussian litaats Anzeiger of the 28th says, that as WINDIscu- GRATZ had fixed the evening of the 26th, the reports of the bombardment of the city previous to that time must be unfounded. An extra supplement of theAix-la- Chapelle Gazette of the 29th October says :—" Bv the latest intelli gence from Vienna it appears that the fate of the city is sealed in a most fearful manner. It is true that we have no direct au th en ti c news, h ut travellers had ar rived in Breslau and Berlin who confirmed the state ment that the bombardment of the city had com menced." The Berlin Reform says, "Vienna is standing in flames." The ?few Prussian Zeitung says that several leaders of the Radical party had fled ; the attack must have taken place on the 23d. The Cologne Gazette of the 28th states that se veral skirmishes took place on the 23d, that, at nine o'clock in the morning of the 24th, a partial bom bardment took place which at four o'clock became universal, the roar of the artillery never ceasing. At that hour the Viennese were still in possession of the railway-bridge at Florisdorf, but towards five they retired, setting fire to the bridge in their retreat, to prevent pursuit; they also set fire to the second great railway-bridge, which is entirely of wood, as also to the other bridge for carriages. At the same time a conflagration was visible in the west end of the city, and when the traveller, who reports himself an eye-witness of the above, left, the flames were so vivid that the whole horizon above Vienna was a deep red. The above intelligence reaches (if true) to seven o'clock in the evening of the 24th. GERiVIANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. BOMBARDMENT OF VIENNA. The last accounts from Vienna are to the 25th, at which time Prince WINIDISCHGRATZ was bom barding the city, which was on fire in several places. This is reported by a traveller who arrived at Breslau on the 25th from Vienna. The chronological nar rative of these events is as follows : In the sitting of the Diet on the 22d ScuusELKAI communicated to the Diet the decree that a thousand copies of the following proclamation had been posted in Vienna : " TO THE INHABITANTS OF VIENNA. " Commissioned by his Majesty the Emperor, and invested with the full powers requisite thereunto, to set bounds to tho state of lawlessness and insubordination now prevailing in Vienna, I reckon upoa the sincere and powerful support of all the right-minded inha bitants. " Inhabitants of Vienna—Your city is stained by deeds of violence which fill the breast of every man of honour with horror. It is at this moment in the hands of a small but arrogant faction, which shrinks from no deed, however disgraceful. Your life—your property—is given up to the despotism of a handful of traitors. Be men ; follow the call of duty and of sound sense 1 You will find that I possess both the will and the power to deliver you from their violence, and to restore peace and order. By these presents, the city, the suburbs, and the environs, are declared to be in a state of blockade. All the civil authorities are placed under the military power ; and against any one who transgresses my ordinances martial law is proclaimed. " All right-minded persons may rest assured that the security. of their persons, and the protection of their property, will be my especial care, but all those who are obstinate will be subject to the full severity of martial law. "Prince WINDESCLIGRATZ, Field Marshal. " Lundenberg, Oct. 20, 1848." The Diet immediately adopted a resolution to the following effect, which was sent to the Princeind to Wessenberg:— " Considering that the re-establishment of or er ap pertains solely to the legally-constituted authorities, and that the army cannot interfere, except at their re quisition; " Considering that the Emperor's proclamation of the 19th again guarantees the maintenance of all the li berties acquired, and more particularly the free delibe rations of the Diet; " Therefore the Diet declares as illegal all the mea sures by which Field Marshal Windischgrats threatens the state of siege and martial law. (The Minister Wessenberg and Prince Windischgratz shall be imme diately informed of this resolution by express.)" In reply to this protest of the Diet, Prince WIN.. DESCUGRATZ stated, " My full powers do not extend to a negotiation with the Diet, which I recognise only as a constitutive assembly. The Minister, KRAUS, shall be considered a prisoner. The only legal authority which I recognise in Vienna is the Communal Council, and this is subordinate to me. I give the Diet twenty-four hours to consider of it." On the 23d the Communal Council received from Prince WINDISCHGRATZ the following proclamation, with orders to cause it to be placarded throughou the city. PROCLAMATION. "In pursuance of the state of blockade and martial law for the City of Vienna, the suburbs, and the imme diate environs, announced in my first proclamation of the 20th of this month, the following conditions are sub joined by me:— "l. The city of Vienna, its suburbs and imm e di a t e environs, ha ve , 48 hours after the receipt of this pro clamation, to declare their submission, and, either by legions or companies, to deliver up their arms at a given place, to an appointed committee; to disarm all indi viduals who are not in the ranks of the National Guards, including those arms which are private property. "2. All armed bodies and the student's legions are dissolved; the Aula closed; the leaders of the Academic Ligion and 12 students to be given up as hostages. "3. Several individuals, yet to be named by me, are to be given up. " 4. During the duration of the state of the blockade all journals and newspapers are suspended, with the ex ception of the Wiener Zeitoing, which is to confine itself solely to official communications. "5. All foreigners in the capital are to be reported, with legal documents as to the cause of their resi dence. Those who have no papers are immediately to leave the city. "6. All clubs are suspended and closed during the state of blockade. 7. Every person who " (a) resists the above measure, or by traitorous at tempts of others; who "(b) is proved guilty of disturbance or participation in the same; or who " (c) shall be sei2ed with weapons in his hands, is subject to martial law. " For the fulfilment of these conditions the term of 48 hours is granted after the publication of this pro clamation. In the contrary case, I shall be forced to adopt the most energetic measures, and to compel the city to obedience. "Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, Field Marshal. "Head-quarters, Heltzendor, Oct. 23." The Communal Council declared that the procla mations received from Prince WINDISCHGKITZ could not he posted up as he had desired. The deputation seat to his Majesty, carrying the petition of the Diet, returned with a written answer, stating that the EMPEROR could not interfere, but that all proposi tions for the establishment of order must in future be addressed to Prince WINDUCEIGItATZ. The Commander-in-Chief of the National Guards issued a proclamation, threatening with severe punish ment all who should be guilty of plunder, and the Academic Legion issued an address to the valiant people of Vienna, saying that the longed-for decisive moment had at length arrived; the enemy was act ing openly on the offensive; the EMPEROR had de serted his people. The Diet unanimously declared the interference of WINDISCIIGRATA and his people illegal, and therefore it was the duty of all to fight for their country. They say, in conclusion, " The people and their sacred liberties will triumph gloriously. Up to combat, and victory, for liberty, justice, and father land I " The Atutrian Lloyd's of the 23d thus describes the state of the city on that day : " Since yesterday our city has been declared in a state of siege by Prince Windischgratz. The proclamation of the Prince was posted up in all the streets at dusk, nobody knows how ; the messenger who brought the 1,000 copies to the Diet vanished as mysteriously as he appeared. The Di e t d ec l ared this step of the Prince illegal. The effect this has of the population i s rat h er a good one than otherwise ; at least they say, ` we know where we are,' and suspense was in some measure removed. " The Commander-in -chief has 'been busy all day strengthening the diff erent posts, and making also pre parations for a sortie — what the result w ill b e time will show ; since Auersperg left the Belvedere, a bombard ment is not so much to be feared. If the city is not re lieved, either by the Hungarians or. the Landaturm, it is impossible for it to hold Out more than a week ; the state we are in is becoming utterly insupportable. Postal communications are interrupted on all sides but on the Nussdorff line, and it is now six days that we have re ceived no letters from Breslau, Berlin, Hamburgh, Paris, and England, and we are even four days without advices from Hungary. All communications is like wise interrupted with Styria and with Trieste. "It is true that to-day the Diet, with puerile naive to, has ordered the Minister, Kraus, to re-establish all the means of communication, as if a general blockading a city would politely consent to such a measure. Prince Windischgratz will pay just as much attention to this, as he did to the order not to send troops by the railway; or as Jellachich did to another, to pack up his traps and be off, at the risk of incurring the displeasure of the Diet. " The Ambassadors of the foreign powers left Vienna yesterday morning for the quarters offered them at llitzing and Schonbrunn. The principal citiz , ms have nearly all left. Of two hundred National Guards in one district, not twenty remain ; on the other hand, rein forcements have been pouring in fro m the country. The Algenicine Oesterreicheiche Zeitung of the 24th say s :-- " Yesterday at noon Prince Windischgratz moved his head - quarters to Stammersdorf. Great movement is visible is the camp on the jedlersee. More than fifty packed waggons are going up the Bisamberg ; a troop of horse was observed advancing at a round pace in the direction of Langenzersdorf. Another smaller detach ment was seen advancing towards Florisdorf. At the Black Lake the engineers are busy con s t ructin g a brid g e, and a large of military has already crossed the Danube. There are 4,000 horse in Windischgratz's ca mp. The villages near Vienna are suffering con siderably. Each house has f ro m twenty to thirty men hilleted upon it. Jellachich's army at Schwechat and Zwolfuring faces Hungary. At one o'clock smoke was distinctly seen on the road to Fischament. It is quite certain that the Hung ar i a ns are advancing. In Auers perg's camp nothing has been changed. Thus there are three great camps around Vienna, of the combined strength of 46,000 men, of which 24,000 are under the orders of Jellachich. It is said Vienna will hold out till the last extremity. Th e town is quite alive again; even women in men's clothes are on duty. All the barricades are fortified." The Emperor has prorogued the Diet, and con vened it for Nov. 15, at liremsir, a large palace of the Prince Bishop of OLsityrz. These are the latest accounts that have been re ceived direct from Vienna. There can, however, be little doubt but that the city was bombarded on the 24th and 25th, as we have intelligence to that effect both from Breslau and from Cologne. The Breslau Gazette of the 25th October says-- "The Vienna train has j us t arrived, but it has brought neither journals nor letters. There was only one passen ger, an Englishman, who stated that he attempted to enter the city about three o'clock in the afternoon on important business, but it was quite impossible, as the engagement had commenced. Windischgratz was: bom barding Vienna, and the city was in flames in two places. Another traveller stated that he arrived at Florisdorf on Saturday, but could not reach the city. The Viennese had demolished the large railway bridge. Planks had been placed across it, by which only the Danube ;, `~. _ ~, .e:~ ~~ FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the 28th the debate on the Constitution was resumed. The following were the results of the day's pro ceedings : " Sec. 2. No part of the German Empire may be united in one state with non-German lands."—Car ried—Ayes, 340 ; noes, 76. MINARITZ'6 motion, " Inasmuch as the peculiar relations of Austria do not admit of the execution of this section, and of the sections arising from it, the desired unity and power of Germany shall be attained in the greatest possible degree, by the intimate at tachment of Austria and Germany in the way of an international alliance formed between the Imperial Power and the Austrian Government." Rejected— Noes, 375 ; ayes, 38. Katsßu's amendment, viz.: " The relations of Austria are reserved for definitive regulation," was rejected—Noes, 318 ; ayes, 104. " Sec. 3. If a German land have the same supreme head of the state with a non-German land, the rela tions of these two lands are to be ordered according to the principles of a purely personal union." Car ried—Ayes, 316 ; noes, 19. Thus the Committee's motions in their original form, without any others, were carried. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. B u charest tranquil when the l as t The following is the Ministry appointed by the Caimacan, with the approbation of Fuad Effendi, the accunehtseesftt. was perfectly Commissioner of the Sublime Porte :—lnterior, M. Jean Philippesko ; Finances, M. Alexander Ghyka; Justice, M. Gregorie Gradistiano ; Public Instruction, M. Constantine Bellio ; Foreign Affairs, M. Alex ander Philippeski ; Provisional Commandant of the Forces, Colonel Garbatzky. The revolutionary Go vernment established at Craiova, the capital of the lesser Wallachia, had taken to flight, and the province had submitted to the legitimate Government. The Russian troops stationed at Weddin had crossed the Danube, and disembarked at Calafat. They were going in the direction of Craiova. LEVANT MAIL. Accounts have been received from Constantinople of the 16th, and from Athens, of the 18tb. The news from Greece is not of the slightest interest. At Constantinople, on the 11th, a terrific fire oc curred, which destroyed 300 houses. ITALY. TUSCANY. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has at length yielded to the wishes of his subjects, and appointed a Demo cratic Ministry. The New Ministry is composed of MONTANELLI for Foreign Affairs and President of the Council; GUERAZZI for the. Interior; Mazzorsr, Grace and Justice; ZAKIELLI, Public Instruction. The GRAND DUKE has also promised the immediate convocation of the Italian Constituent. This pro ceeding of the GRAND DUKE has caused the greatest satisfaction among the people. The insurrection in ba;sano against the Austrians still continues, and there have been risings at several places in the Valteline. The whole of Lombardy i s ripe for revolt. Great improvements are making at the Guildhall, to increase the convenience of the company at the approaching Lord Mayor's day—it being intend.l to open a new entrance through the Courts to afford a better access to the Hall, and also to give greater accommodation and protection from any cold wind while waiting for the carriages. It is understood that all her Majesty's Ministers will honour the Lord Mayor with their presence, and that a large number lof naval heroes will be present in honour of the focal Lord Mayor—perhaps the first old sailor who ever obtained that dignity! - MONEY and COAli`va ERCI AL NE WS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was extensive, but holders supplied the market sparingly. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 2,000 on speculation and 500 for export. Prices of American were also higher from the lowest: point on Friday.— Railway Shares improved, in the morning, but sellers appearing did not leave off quite so well. The rise at the outport has not been equal to that which has occur red in London. The continental advices are again to-day the object of great interest, and the extremities to which matters have arrived at Vienna have caused the termination of the contest to be regarded as much more proximate than was the case a short time back. The opinion seems to be, that the Imperialists will triumph, disunion prevailing in the capital. The election for resident in France is, however, more a subject of P interest here than any other in connexion with foreign affairs. It is a matter for sincere congratulation, that the German states, in accordance with France and Holland, are likely to relieve the navigation of the Rhine from the trammels imposed upon it, and to abolish the tolls, &c., levied at various points, and therefore most ob noxious to traders, as much from the mode of levying them, as from the amount. The measure, when brought into operation, will be some step towards free-trade principles. A circumstance still more cheering, how ever, is that the states of the Zollverein have deter mined to admit British manufactures at the duties levied before the advance was made to protect German fabrics from the effect of the French bounty system. England and Belgium now stand, therefore, in their right position as favoured na tions, trading upon something like reciprocal terms, to which they are so fairly entitled, as having never en forced the protection or bounty system against Germany, and all duties surcharged will pe returned to our mer chants. It thus becomes extremely problematical whether, even at a great loss to the nationrl treasury, France is in a position to do good to its industrious population, by bolstering expedients opposed to the en lightened commercial tenets of the present day. A ship (one of the monthly " liners") arrived direct from Australia, furnishes the Post.office mail with let ters and papers dated June 14. Business at that period was tolerably good, although we know from accounts a little later, per overland mail, that the 'markets sub sequently became more inactive. The grazing interest, owing to the low price of wool, is doing so badly in the byanety district, and we rear taw as run, rhil. p, that absolute prosperity could not be expected. There has been considerable excitement again to-day among all parties connected with the Share Market, and the !greatest difficulty is stated to exist in procuring the delivery of shares purchased. We can, of course, feel no sympathy with the gamblers who, by depressing the market value of other persons' property, have them selves incured enormous losses, that will strip them of ,their ill-earned gains; but there is another class who are really entitled to commiseration—via., those who sold (under the apprehension that their shares would become almost valueless), after having held, perhaps, for years. The Funds are buoyant again today, and there is a favourable opinion entertained of them, chiefly in view of the abundance of money. Consols have been marked 85i- to 84, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 85k to 1, and the Three per Cents. 84i to 85. Exchequer-bills have touched 465. premium for those dated in March.

Adam Black, Lord Provost of the city, for which a general subscription was made some time ago, was placed in the Council-room on Friday, to which it will form a fine ornament. It has been hung on the north side of the ball, on the left of the fire-place; and the portrait of Si r James Spinal has been removed to the other side, with the view of preserving uniformity in the design. The painting is by Mr. Watson Gordon, and forms one orthe - most - euccessful.efforts of that artist; whose reputation it cannot fail to extend. The likeness of his Lordship has been preserved with admirable fidelity; and the arrangement of the costume, with tle skilful execution of the details, is in the high es t degree eredittibl9 t 9 the filligtl--atichnion 'Ken:cry. .1-_~._ 4Gp 46 p 45p 45p 45 P 23 1 4 13% 2%
