The brilliant and effective speech with which Mr. WHITESIDB opened the case for the defence left little, indeed, to be urged by his talented coadjutor ; so that we may fairly pre sume the speech as to evidence for the defence, the reply of the Solicitor-General on behalf of the Crown, and the charge of the Lord Chief Justice will be disposed of, and the verdict of the jury (preg nant with such momentous results to the prisoner) returned before the rising of the Court this evening. We may now, therefore, venture to comment upon the nature of the charge, and the evidence by which it has been supported, without the slightest danger of Interfering in any degree with the just and impartial administration of the law, or of unduly prejudicing the jury, either for or against the unfortunate gen tleman whose future fate, even while we write, hangs trembling in the balance. Whatever may be the result of the present in- Tesfigation, whether the prisoner be thereby ac laitted of the capital treason, laid to his charge, .er consigned to an ignominious death upon the scaf fold, with the mutilation of his lifeless corpse, sad the corruption of the blood of his in nocent offspring, it must be admitted, that all that profound learning, extraordinary tact, foren sic skill, quick-witted intelligence, unflinching courage and devotion, and the most winning and persuasive eloquence could suggest on his behalf, were most clearly and efficiently brought forward by the accom plished advocate whose services he was enabled to secure. Nothing in any degree capable of a favour able construction was omitted, while the points that pressed most strongly against him were explained away, or made to bear upon other matters which, though they might amount to grave misde tn amours, could not, it was contended, be regarded as overt acts establishing the treason able intention either of levying war against her Most Gracious MAJBSTY, or of compassing and imagining the death of the Sovereign. But, though the prisoner wa s thus fortunate i n the counsel by 'whom his cause was advocated, he was not equally Ao in the law under which he was tried, and it is impcosible not to perceive that he, a subject of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, was deprived pf strictly legal rights and privileges to which he would moat certainly have been entitled had the alleged offences been committed upon this side of St. George's Channel, and himself brought to trial on English ground. It must be borne in mind that the sta tute upon which the indictment] was framed was one enacted by an English Parliament, with which the Irish Legis 1 ature had no concern whatsoever. It is now oearly five centuries since that statute, written in the olu' Norman French, is which the Acts of the Legislate "e and the :pro ceedings of the law courts were carried , on in the :14th contrary, received the royal assent an d became the law of the land. It was passed in th t 25th year of the reign ofEDWIRD 111., for the purpo s .e of defining the crime of Treason, in compliance wit h a petition from the Commons, who four years pre , viously had prayed " that it may be dec l ared in Pat liament to what cases of aceroachment the royal powel extended, whereby Lords lost their profit of the fort 'eitures of their tenants, and the accused their benefit of 'clergy. This statute expressly and clearly defined the I specific acts thatahould be held and adjudged treason. These were not only offences directly affecting the person of the filovereign, as compassing or imagini .vg his death ordeposition, or levying war against him, but others of a different character, such as counterfeiting the great seal, counterfeiting the King's coin, bring ing counterfeit coin into the realm, &c. Such as they were, however, they were clearly and unequi vocally explained, so that no danger was incurred of persons unwittingly committing this great offence, and sustaining the horrible penalties to which traitors were then subjected. Gradually, however, considerable inroads were made by minor statutes and by the dicta of corrupt judges, wholly dependent on the Crown and the verdicts of timid or prejudiced juries, so that the law being again rendered indefinite, it became necessary to have a new enactment declaratory of its actual state. This was passed in the reign of Queen MARY, which revived and re-established the Act of EDWARD 111., as the sole law in cases cf treason. Various Acts were subsequently passed from time to time, but it was at all times felt to be essential to fence the subject with peculiar safeguards against any extraordinary extension of the power of the Crown, and thus, although the crime of treason was regarded as the weightiest known to the law, and subjected to more stringent penalties than any other offence, extraordinary privileges were given to those accused, and additional facilities for conducting their defence. It was felt that a simple man might be crushed by the power of the Crown when its influence was cast into the balance against him ; that the Sheriff (nominated by the Crown) might be tampered with, to array a partial and prejudiced jury; ,that spies and informers might be bribed to give evidence implicating the accused, which might carry no weight with it if close inquiries were instituted into their past life and character. It was accordingly provided that an attorney and counsel, not exceeding two, should be assigned to the prisoner for his defence, and that copies of the indictment, of the jury panel, and a list of the wit nesses to be produced, should be delivered at the same time, ten clear days before the trial (7 Anne, c. 21), and the statute which conferred these extraordinary privileges commenced by stating " that it was just and reasonable that persons accused should have an opportunity of making their full defence." The English Parliament, in legislating on an English statute, considered it to be essential to a full defence that a copy of the jury panel and a list of the witnesses to be pro duced should be delivered ten days before the trial to parties accused of a violation thereof; while in poor unhappy Ireland men are to be condemned without obtaining that which in England was their right, and every application even as a matter of favour is refused, lest it might be tortured into a precedent. If Ireland is entitled to equal laws with England—if her children are not to be sacrificed on the altar of political expe diency, this anomaly (if it really exists, and from the decision of the Judges on the point, we are bound to presume that such is the case, at least until the question be brought before the supreme tribunal of the country, the House of Lords)—would, what ever may be the result of the trial, afford an ample and sufficient ground for claiming the exercise of the highest attribute of the Crown, the extension of that mercy which has justly been styled " its most glo rious prerogative." The genius of Lord BROUGHAM, his capacious and commanding intellect, the humanity of his heart, and the patriotism of his aspirations, have not prevented him from stumbling at intervals into some very extra ordinary blunders of judgment. In this manner, to employ the exquisite expression of the philologist, he seems to have " paid his tribute to our common na ture." He has thus proved himself to be akin to his less gifted contemporaries by revealing the fact that even his mind, with all its magnificent fruitfulness, ripened by the lore of letters and philosophy, is in a very striking manner characterised by its fallibility. A new evidence of this fallibility of judgment has been afforded by Lord BaouGHasi in several of the arguments contained in his pamphlet on the late " French Revolution," a pamphlet which is just now on the eve of its publication. One of these most erroneous arguments we feel our selves compelled, if only from the inborn instinct of self-respect, to repel for its astonishing inaccuracy. After commenting upon the countenance afforded to the Republicans of February by certain portions of ----- ----,5:- : -- r----, .....a after observing that much of the stability of French republicanism is owing to the circumstance of those British journals having " joined the cause of the revolution," the noble writer indi rectly charges those journals with propagating a spirit of revolution among the people of these islands, and with agitating the imaginations of the discon tented with principles subversive of all order and right government. Now, as we ourselves were about the foremost of the organs of public opinion in Great Britain to "countenance" the Republicans of February, and to " join the cause of the revolu tion," we are impelled at once to repudiate this most fallacious inference ; and we call to witness every one of the articles which have appeared in our columns, since the installation of the Provisional Go vernment, to prove that our exertions have been un remittingly directed to the maintenance of tran quillity in the United Kingdom, and to the con tinuance of that ardent loyalty which is the ligature round the constitutional fasces. Our commentaries upon the mob-disturbances, which have produced so much anxiety te the Cabinet, the rabble demonstra tions on Bishop Bonners'-fields, and on Boulagh Common, were alike animated by a spirit of hostility to the promoters of physical-force Chartism, and of au organized rebellion in Ireland. We not only contemned the miserable conspiracies of Seven Dials, and the insane " skritnmage" at Ballingarry, but we appealed day after day to those feelings which are so deeply rooted in the hearts of English men—to those feelings of reverence, and gratitude, and love, and devotion towards the institutions of the land, which have been hallowed by the obedience of generations, which have been sanctified by the blood of martyred patriots, which have sprung from the wisdom of all the statesmen of Britain from ALFRED to BACON and from BACON to BROUGHAM. Without arrogating exclusively to the Press of England one iota of that loyalty which we believe to be innate in the heart's pulse of our countrymen, we do yet aver it as our deliberate opinion that to the press was immediately and directly attributable that noble demonstration of the 10th of April, which was a death-blow to the hopes of the Propagandists, and which proclaimed in such glorious terms to the whole world the solidity, the grandeur, and the vastness of our great poli tical fabric. Among that Press which evoked the memorable demonstration of April, we claim for ourselves a position ; and, in the name of that Press, we at once repudiate the accusation that we have been, in any respect whatever, the promoters of sedition or the aspirants for revolution. But Lord BROUGHAM does not, unfortunately, re strict himself to this insinuation against the Press of his country, he endeavours to depreciate the impor tance of the fourth estate—forgetful that he himself was in the first instance enabled to display his re splendent powers through the medium of the Press, mid that not only through the quarterly publication but also through the columns of the daily newspapers. In this very month of October, when the pamphlet appears in which Lord BaouGFIAM derides the journalists as " newsmongers and dealers in daily papers," the Edinburgh Review recals to mind the famous saying of ARCHIMEDES, and observes, that had the Syracusean philosopher lived in these days he would infallibly have chosen as the spot upon which to fix his lever for the purpose of moving the world—the Press. Nor, indeed, does it require much exercitation of logic to show that the Press is in truth the vou cssw of the triple orb of morality, society, and politics. But the indignation with which the genius of Lord BROUGHAM seems to regard the enormous authority of the journalist becomes the more conspicuous, when he refers to the election of the:Provisional Government, and to the obscure men who were then suddenly elevated . According to Lord BROUGHAM every member of the Provisional Government, " with the single exception of his illustrious friend M. ARA.GO, were either wholly unknown before in any way, even to their very names and existence, or were known as authors of no great fame, or were known as of so indifferent reputation, that they Lad better not have been known at all ! 1 ! " We wonder under which category is to be placed the name of ARMAND MARRAST, whose witty articles in the National had, long before February, gained him a very brilliant repute as a po litician and a writer. We wonder under which category is to be placed the name of DUPONT (de l'Eure), whose probity was as generally appre ciated as it had become venerable. We wonder under which category is to be placed the name of ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE, whose celebrity as a poet was to France what the fame of BYRON was to England, and of whom it can be said as little as it can be said of Lord BROUGHAM himself, that "his name and his re ry existence were unknown until Fe bruary ; or that he was known as an author of no great fame, or tha t he was known as of so indifferent reputation that he had better not have been known at all Surely Lord BROUGHAM must be the first to laugh at the ridiculous blunder of the clompositor in having printed the ex pression, that all the members of the Provisional Government we re wholly obscure, " with the single exception :cf M. .Asmao !" It is as preposterous as though some F re.nch pamphleteer were to remark that among the 1 iving ex-Chancellors of England Lord LYNDHURST was the only man with intellect or celebrity. But th e truth is, MARRAST is a journalist, and LAMARTIN E i! ; a journalist, and LEDRU ROLLIN is a journalist, ant 1 Louis BLANC is a journalist, and almost every on.e of the members or Ministers of the Provisional Go Yea 'nment are journalists, and jour nalists are " news m )ngers and dealers in daily papers." Such is the tendency of the remarkable pamphlet which has just ems; aated from the brilliant genius but fallible judgment of HENRY Lord BuouoHAaa. THE FREII fCH REPUBLIC. We have received • the Paris papers of yesterday. The Afoniteur has . ; 1 the following announcement Several journals c ften pretend to a knowledge of what passes at the Cc )uscil of Ministers. Almost all their assertions are en . oneous. The Patrie announces last evening that the C mincil of Ministers had decided that Government wovild support the amendment which proposed to postpone th e nomination of President until after the vote of the crg anic laws. The Government, on the contrary, is couv Inc ea that the continuance of a pro visional state of affair .s i, s most disastrous to the business of the country. Th.: ci nintry wants a regular Govern ment, it requires it in tmediately, and so soon as the National Assembly sl ia. ll have proclaimed the principle of election of the Pres id ent of the Republic the Govern ment will ask it to fix a n early day for the election. " I n the opinion of it to members of the Government it would be an act of L d citizenship to retain power a single day beyond 'v hat should be required by the strictest necessity." Prince Louis NA pi )Lox has addressed a letter to the National Assem b.ly, in which he declares that, having been elected IJr five departments, he chooses to sit for Paris, the p lace of his birth. There will, therefore, be new e. !e ctions for the departments of La Moselle, Yonne, *1:: %harente Inferieure, and Corsica. M. BISSETTE, the newly elected representative for Martinique, has add ressed the following letter to the President of the Nat ional Assembly : " Monsieur le Presi dent,—l have to request you to inform the National t ,ssembly that I send in my resig nation as representative for Martinique. Protests, on the score of violence i tnd fraud against the validity of the elections which hal re taken place in that colony, as well as at Guadaloupe, will be subjected to the apprecia tion of the Assembly. Whatever may be its judgment on the matter, I consider it due to myself, in presence of the complaints mad 'e, to appeal directly to the elec tors. (Sri ;lied) " BISSETTE. " Paris, Oct. 4." The discussion on the article of the Constitution regulating the electioi c4* President commenced on Thursday. M. FELIX f ar, who opened the debate, proposed that the Assen3b ly should itself be the chief Executive Power in the. ,! ;tate, and that the President should be merely a Prra ident of the Council of Mi nister, nominated by the Assembly : "M. de Tocqueville apt Ike at considerable length against the contemplates] project of allowing the As sembly to nominate the P resident. While he admitted that there were peculiar circumstances that seemed to justify that course for th.s present, yet he thought the Assembly itself possesses 3 strictly limited rights, and could not on any pretel .t interfere with the universal voice of the people, alone competent to elect the Presi dent. He declared that the feeling of the country was decidedly opposed to the Assembly assuming any iater ference in the matter. It would ,deprive the Republic of strength if its head Nil s not appointed by the people at large. He knew than motive that actuated those who suggested a con; ,rary course. They appre hended that a name 3 would be returned which would be hostile to ti ,e Republic, but by the plan now suggested a d oubt would be excited as to the stability of Lb, Republic, which would be much more dangeroma . It was the existence of such a doubt that Is ad already wrought so much suffering and caused mp e r. cl i: 3 c t r -- .4 . 4 ,,, v) ,1 aie Ivpublica works Att:Se l gtbf Y; . y e , g althotlgr nd i invested with extra ordinary power, was not omnipotent, and could not assume to itself a soi t, of right divine with regard to the election of Presid tilt. The Assembly was nothing except as it derived ;authority from the people, and under a Republic the j !)eople should be all in all. To the people alone could the election of President be attri buted. In the course of his speech he adverted to the views of those who, I ike M. Pyat, loved to return to the times of the Cony( Intion, which caused so much ap prehension by excitin tt. reminiscences of the reign of terror. But civilization 'had advanced too well to allow of the repetition of such, scenes, and he felt no alarm on that account. He en ndemned strongly the mani festations that had beer. made in different parts of the country, but he said ths .t the way to put down these proceedings was not by• such excessive precautions as tended to deprive the p , N.)pde of their just and undoubted rights." M. PAIRRBU replied to M. DB TocciuxvlLLE, and he was followed by M. F ItESNEAU, a young Member of the party of M. Mai s, from whom much was ex pected. M. FREINzAu , :however, broke down com pletely, and descended from the tribune amidst the loud laughter of the A: isembly ; after which the de bate was adjourned. The lfoniteur du So. if • contains the following offi cial announcement of he restoration of tranquillity at Lyons : "Private accounts sta7 e that on the occasion of the settlement of their pay, the Garde Mobile of Lyons, which had just been dissolved, revolted, and invaded the Prefecture of the F l one. The fact in itself is true; but it is proper to add L at the National Guards and the troops of the line mart ted to the Prefecture, that they got the better of the . emeute, and that this affair has only served to prove t'n, a good spirit which animates the working population of that great city. At the present moment all has return E d to the most perfect order." It also publishes thy; following official contradiction of the statement of th , l3 Presse, that Austria had re jected the mediation of England and France in the affairs of Italy. It sa: ys— " The Press - a has re ade itself the echo of a report which, it says, circula tea in some diplomatic saloons, and according to whi eh the mediation of France has been rejected by Arts, ria. The absurdity and improba bility of this rumoutr would suffice for a refutation; but we are, besides, authorised to declare in the most formal manner that there is not a word of truth either in the fact itself or in the comments which the Prerse has added to it." On this subject the Constitutionnel says— " It is certain that negotiations are yet far from their commencement. Aus trig proposed at first Innspruck as the place for holding the conferences ; France having through the medium of England indicated Geneva or Bale as pruferable. , &ustria replied by observing that Switzerland being a focus of agitation, either Padua or Verona would be preferable. Thus before the basis of mediation has been a t all mentioned, the place of meet ing has to be found. Although it is true that the media tion has not been rejected, yet neither has it made a step in advance. Sin ce Austria accepted the mediation the Cabinet of Gera aany, whew sympathies are with Austria, has proposed Munster—and thus the different diplomatic engines !or gaining ti me are at f u ll work while the mediation is at a stand still." The Union, which is the organ of the Absolutist party, and therefore good authority as to the inten tions of Austria, has the following :-- " We learn that 1. ho English Ambassador has had a long conference with General C ava i gnae to-day, in which the intention: ; of the Cabinet of L on d on have been explicitly stated. We believe the result of thi s commun i ca tion to be that Great Britain is in accord with the Cabinet of Vienna, and that the Itali an quest i on is arranged in a mane er which does not at all agree with the engagements of Gener a l Cavaignac to the National Assembly. France thus will in the Congress have only one vote out of six." The following, which we extract from the National, is important, as showing the views of the Government on the question of the election of President -- " Admitting as we do the principle of election by uni versal suffrage, we ct me to the fact, and on this point we shall be no less expli cit. Precisely because the principle of the sovereignty of the people is placed beyond contest, it appears to us indispensable that the . Assembly should exercise the auth or iizy con f e rred upon it by it s consti tuent mandat to r eg u l a t e for the good of the State the primary organisation of the executive powers. Several amendments have been presented in this sense. The Assembly will exam fine them, and will be in a situation to adopt the one that offers best those guarantees of which we feel the necessity. In fine here is the opinion at which we have arrived after mature reflection—to in scrib!, in the constitution the principle of election of President by direct +universal suffrage, and for the pre sent, for the first nomination, to regulate the application ' of this principle as may seem useful and necessary. We hope that this opinion, which reconciles a double interest equally valuable, will rally the majority:of the Assembly. This means clearly that the first President ought to be elected by the Assembly. But it now appears that the Red Republicans, instead of joining with the Moderates en this point, for the purpose of keeping out pretenders, THE SUN, LONDON, _SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1848. declare that they will have no President at all, and seek to convert the Assembly into a chamber." Admiral CASEY has been appointed to command at Toulon. M. LEDRU RoLux has brought an action for defa mation of character against several persona who have been spreading reports charging him with embezzlement of the public money while Mi nister of the Interior, with receiving bribes, and with having liberated forfats. The defendants are M. CAUCHY, a person employed in the Ad ministration de Forks, and chef de bataillion in the 2d legion of the National Guards of the banlieue ; M. BIGNON, sen., a literary man ; M. BIGNON, jun., a horse dealer; M. GERIN, a retired colonel of engineers; IM. P.Lutart, colonel of engi neers; M. TRUESSART, an ex-commissary of police; M. BASSET, formerly director of the Opera Comique; and M. LAROCHE, principal clerk of an avow. The charges of defamation are as follow :—Against MM. BIGNON, senior and junior, GERIN, and PAULIN, for stating publicly that M. Lana.u-RothiN had taken 14,0001. from the public treasury and invested tl.e money in the English Three per Cents. ; against M. PAULIN, in addition, for having stated that the chef of the gardes-chiourmes of Brest had twice received orders from M. LEDEU-ROLLIN to set the most dan gerous forcats at liberty ; against M. TRUESSART, for stating before the Committee of Inquiry of the National Assembly that M. LEDRU-ROLLIN bad taken 100,000 f. of the public money to promote the in surrection of June; and against MM. BASSET and LAROCHE, for stating publicly that the nomination of M. BASSET, as director of the Opera Comique, could only be obtained by an engagement to pay a sum (,f 63,000 f. guaranteed by M. LEDRU.ROLLIN. In the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday the debate on the clauses of the Constitution regu lating the election of President of the Republic was resumed, and an amendment was moved by M. GEM, to the effect that the President should be nominated by the Assembly, that he should be nomi nated for an indefinite period, mid should be re vocable at the will of the Assembly. M. JuLEs DE LASTETRIE followed, and contended that the ballot for the President ought not to be direct, but a deux dsgres. After a short speech from M. LJBBLOND, who defended the election by the Assembly, M. DE LA MARTIXI ascended the tribune, and was addressing the House at the hour of post. Accounts from, the wine district state that many of the proprietors have organized a simultaneous re sistance to the collection of the additional 45 cen- times tax. At Rouen the workmen in some of the factories have refused to work eleven hours a day, and several of them have been arrested in consequence. Trade, however, seems reviving in. the district, and many ' of the principal manufactories, which had been shut up since the Revolution, have been re-opened. The Finance Committee has rejected the proposition for the creation of two thousand millions of eons Itypathecarios. BOURSE —Peeps, TutTnspaY, OCT. 6. THREE O'CLOCK.—The Funds were weak all this day; they opened below the closing prices of yesterday, and gradually tell till the close. Tne Railways followed the same course. The uncertain state of the Government, the disturbances at Lyons and Rouen, the diminution of 20 millions in the account current of the Treasury, and the bad prospects for the winter, all contributed towards this result. The Rouen Railway Shares we, e p ar t icu l ar sufferers: rumours connected with the money transac tions of the company are said to have been the cause. Fur the Account, the French Three per Cents. have Wien 15c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 35e., and the Loan 40c, For Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 5c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 40c.; and the Loan 45c.; Bonds du Tremor not quoted; Bank of France Shares are 201. lower; Belgian Bank Shares not quoted; Five per Cents.

Madrid Papers of the Ist October have arrived. Letters from Barcelona state that the Carlist chief CALETRUS had had an interview with General CoR DOVA, to arrange the conditions for the submission of himself and his band to the QUEEN'S authority. CALETRUS, it is said, has undertaken, in consideration of the receipt of a large sum of money, to betray CABRERA into the hands of CORDOVA. NARVAER has, it seems, managed to get into a quarrel with General SAUNDERS, the American Minister. On the 30th September, at two'clock, the. themselves lves la in dy nthaeird carriage, gh iag d e a , u wh t io e h which was wa a just standingshte,- fore the embassy door, when a party of civic guards approached, and prevented the coachman from starting. Their leader then inquired which of the embassy servants was FzuNANDo. The individual in question, who was no other than the footman, then putting up the step, on hearing his own name from the mouth of a policeman, who stood with a warrant in his hand, made a precipitate retreat within the portal of the embassy. Meantime the ladies, in con siderable alarm, alighted. The General was not at home ; but it was soon explained to his family that about two years back FERNANDO had been drawn to serve in the army, but had then procured a substitute . which substitute having just been shot in Catalonia: FERNANDO became liable to serve in his place. The civic guard remained baulked of his prey in the portal of the embassy till the General came in. Meanwhile the ladies proceeded on foot through a shower to the place of their engagement. When the General entered he observed with considerable sur prise a large crowd of COMMOD people about his door, with the three-cornered hats of the tall gensd'armes in the midst. The chief policeman attempted to explain his mission and show his warrant, where upon the General observed that he was not in the habit of receiving messages from the Govern ment is that form, refused to look at his warrant, and expressed his intention of extending the fullest protection which the American flag could afford to his servant; and upon intimation on the part of the policeman, that the latter would be put to the dis agreeable necessity of entering the house in order to seize the servant, admonished him of the responsibility which he, his employers, and the Spanish Govern• ment, would incur by violating the domicile of the Minister of the United States. General SAUNDERS has addressed a most energetic note to the Spanish Government, demanding immediate satisfaction for this gross outrage, and unless he receives it, and also from m cost military astd r Spain Madrid. a s ienr Thisvitchee, h th e e w ex il e i m i p m ti m ot e l di o a f te F ly En r rie eti x r n e o from escapade of the police may possibly e Island of Cuba.

NEWMARKET RACES.-- , nr. perceive by th e an .. nouncements of the Eastern Counties Railway Com pany, that very unusual facilities, both in the manner and cheapnesss of travelling, will be provided for the lovers of sporting to witness the spirited exhibitions a t Newmarket Races on Mond ay and Tuesday next. Just fancy a tri p to New market and back, by special trains, for six shillin g s and four shillings !—a di s tance of o ne hundred and thi r t y miles for a f ew shillings ! —to see the finest racing in the world ! If this be not giving the frequent e r s o f th e Second October Meeting a t urn , and that in goo d ea rnest, we sha ll be p uzz led to find its parallel in the annals of s p ortin g for all time to come. The directo rs of the Eastern Counties h ave di sp l a yed their u s ua l tact in thus taking advantage of the fine weather by such liberality, and, no doubt, sportsmen will be too happy to meet them half.way, by " taking time by the fore lock." They can never have a better chance! AMERICAN TuuTLEs..—By the Washington steamer from New York a parcel of live turtles has been recei ve d by Messrs . Keeli ng an d Hunt, which is a novel impor tation from that quarter, and has become subject t o a duty of 55. per cw t., being a distinction made by the new tariff from turtles of British taking, which are admitted duty free. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The intercepted letters of JELLACIUCH clearly prove that he has been acting entirely under the guidance of the Camarilla of Vienna, that he has been in constant communication with the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES, the Archduchess SOPHIA, and the Arch duke Jolts, and that the Croatians under his com mand are merely a body of mercenaries in the pay of the Royal Family of Austria, and employed by them for the restoration of Absolutism throughout the whole of the Austrian dominions by force. This matter was alluded to in the discussiou on th e Budget in the Austrian Diet, which took place on the 29th ult. It appears from the statement of the Minister of Finance, that the actual deficit exceeds sixty millions of florins (182,000,300 f.), and for next year a fresh deficit of sixty- one millions of florins is reported. The budget was very warmly attacked by E. SlEvxowsßl, the Deputy for Galicia, that it would be absurd for the Diet to vote the budget of receipts until it was in possession of that of the expenses. He also demanded with what money JELLACHICH paid his army, by whom he was supplied with artil lery, whether it was from the resources of Croatia which were legally collected by the Hungarian Ministry ? If those expenses were paid from the Central Austrian Treasury, the Diet should narrowly examine into the affair before it voted the collection of the taxes. Letters from Vienna the 30th ult. announce that the budget of the empire will only be fixed for six months, from the Ist of November. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has declared that he will accept the reduction of 700,000 florins, of which 300,000 florins is for the salaries of embassies, and the remain der in the secret service money. The posts of Minis ters Plenipotentiary are to be maintained, especially all those at the Cl.rm.. Court, Tn the event of the Diet making any objection, the Ministry proposes to make a Cabinet question of the affair. The Austrian Minister of War has forwarded a circular to all the officers of the army, warning them against indulging in any expressions hostile to the constitutional institutions granted by his Imperial MAJESTY to his people. VIENNA, SEPT. 30.—We have received intelligence to-day that the Hungarians have gained a decided victory over JELLAcnicir. Report says that the Minister of the Interior, Baron DOBLHOFF, has tendered his resignation. The sitting of the Assembly to-day was very short. The Constitution Committee presented its sketch of the fundamental law of the Austrian people. The essential points are— Abolition of nobility and noble prerogatives. Abolition of the penalty of death. Unconditional right of petition. Popular assemblies, except in cases of apprehended danger. Separation of Church and State, &c. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. COPENIIAOEN, OCT. I.—Great impatience prevails here that negotiations only are being carried on here respecting the infringement of the armistice by Prussia. The KING has received numerous addresses from various parts of Schleswig, expressing great satisfaction at the appointment of Count MOLTKE as President. "Though by no means desirous of being separated from the Danish monarchy," says one of the addresses, "Schleswig nevertheless wishes to remain Schleswig." By a royal ordinance of the 23d, an extraordinary conscription is to be made of all young men who were born in 1823, 24, and 25. No exception what ever is to be made, either in regard to birth, rank, or office, or any other cause whatever. A foreigner who has resided ten years in the country is likewise in cluded in the military conscription. The Provisional Government of Rendsburg, which as we have stated is on the point of moving its seat from Rendsburg to Schleswig, have sent a writing to General Vox VoNIN, who has been appointed Com mander-in-Chief of the army, requesting him to con vey tho thanks of the Provisional Government to those Prussian officers who voluntarily took part in I..iiina the HUNGARY. The Hungarian Diet on the 23d declared all the ordinances of the EMPEROR null and void ; and on the 28th they unanimously passed a resolution to the effect that, in the absence of a Government, it elected, as a provisional one, the committee of six who were appointed a fortnight before to aid BATIITANI in war matters—such committee to have unlimited and full powers. Up to midnight all the National Guards were under arms, and great excitement prevailed. The statement of the murder of Count LAMBERG is confirmed. It appears that when it become known that he had been appointed by the EMPEROR to super sede the Archduke STEPHEN, the people in large numbers assembled around the house in which he had intended to take up his residence. Finding tha( the crowd was ripe for mischief, he contrived to leave the premises, and crossed over the bridge to Buda, •;vhere he sought refuge in the house of the Commander-in-Chief. The building, however, was speedily attacked, and the Count, in disguise, attempted to regain Pesth in a carriage, in order to deliver his credentials to the Hungarian Diet. Whilst crossing the bridge he was recognised, his name was pronounced aloud, and he was instantly cut down by a number of men armed with spades and scythes. He was then literally hacked and hewed to pieces. PRUSSIA. The trial of the Poet FRELIGATII for the publica tion of a seditious poem took place on the 3d inst., at Dusseldorf. He was acquited, and those present in court showered bouquets upon him, and afterwards accompanied him home in grand procession. FRANKFORT. The papers and correspondence of STRUVE have been seized. They contain the whole plan of the in surrection and implicate several persons of conse• quence in all parts of Germany. Herr Blarmus, a member of the German Parliament, has been arrested in Silesia for making a speech at a meeting, in which he advocated regicide and justified the murders of Prince LICHNOWSKY and General AUERSWALD. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 4.—THE CHOLERA.—I❑ Moscow the number of cholera patients has so greatly diminished, that, on the 17th, the last cholera hospital was closed. In St. Petersburgh, on the 21st, 11 persons were seized, 11 recovered, 6 died, and 138 remained under treatment. —.Hcznzburgh Borsenhalle, Oct. S. ITALY. The Italian papers of this morning contain no news of importance. In Piedmont . the preparations for war are proceeding slowly but surely ; nothing has as yet transpired respecting the negotia tions. At Rome, M. Rossfs accession to power has produced anything but a favourable impression upon the public, as may be seen from the leaders of the Roman journals, where his conduct in France under Louis PHILIPPE is severly criticised. At Florence, the Committee named to make a report upon the forced loan of four millions, has pronounced itself in favour of the measure. Leghorn is still under radical sway. We have no further intelli gence from Sicily, but it appears that the re commencement of hostilities was expected shortly. In the Venice Gazette of the 21st ult. we find a highly interesting leader, containing a faithful pic ture of all that Venice has done and suffered to main tain her independence in the present critical po sition of Italy. After enumerating the several sacri fices made by the Venetians, the forced loan of four millions, realised without the slightest difficulty, by voluntary devotion to the country, the other loan of one and a half millions imposed upon the poorer class; more than a million's worth of silver brought to the mint, another million of voluntary offerings, the two millions of bank•shares, besides Private beneficence to exiles and those in misery, in spite of the blockade by land, which prevents the richest families from getting in their revenues, and the absolute stagnation of commerce ; and after com paring these resources to the immense expenses of the war, and the maintenance of a large army and fleet, expenses which the revenues of Venice could never meet in the most prosperous times, it records with pride that the Government has found sufficient credit to raise a new loan at five per cent. to the amount of three millions. MONEY and COMMERCIAL EWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been without material change. Sales yesterday, 4,000 bales Railway Shares were ►ess active and flat. There was some additu.n made last week to the Active Note circulation of the Bank of England, a withdrawal of private depo►its having afforded occasion for the same. The Government balance did not increase so much as could be desired. There is a difficulty, no doubt, in col lecting the taxes. The discount business of the corpo ration was but little augmented, and the bullion was reduced: — Notes issued 27,120,703 Decrease Rest . 3,837,472 Incr4,w.e Public Du posi ts 7,008,836 Increase Other Deposits 8,146,311 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Increase Government Securities Increase 86,250 Other Securities Increase Notes Decrease Bullion Decrease Active circulation Increase The depreciation in Railway Shares proceeds at such a pace that a 10 per cent. return upon investments may possibly, ere long, be regarded as an inadequate temp tation. Indeed, should the dividends improve upon some of the lines, and there will be ample room when business revives, purchases at the rates now current would almost obtain that once considered visionary return. Take Eastern Counties at 124, with 201. paid, and bearing in mind that the last half-year's dividend was at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, the return per cent. per annum to a purchaser would be 61. ss. 6d. Great Western at 78, would yield nearly 7i; Brighton at 261. 41. 18s.; South Western . at 381, 71. 16s. 4d.; North Western at 108 to 110, 61; Midland at 81 to 82, about 71; North British et 17, nearly 74-; York and Berwick at 25 to 26, about 71; and South Eastern at 234, 9 per cent. One might have thought that these rates would invite buyers since the Brighton, at the last meeting. only declared a dividend of 21. 125., the North British of Si., the Midland and South Western of 6/., and the Great Western and North Western of 7 per cent. per annum each. The South Eastern paid 2/. 2s. for the half-year on every 331. 2s. 4d. paid up, we will only at present further remark, that we feel it a duty, whatever success may attend the effort, to en deavour at least by facts like these to stimulate inquiry and reflection among parties having means but lacking confidence, and not until that confidence is felt—and it is in the power of railway boards by candour and good management to induce it—can a healthier tone be hoped for in the Railway Market. The enterprise of the colonists in British North America is destined ere long to produce very extraor dinary results, and we may expect England to be brought into direct communication, by ocean and river, with the " far west." Too much attention cannot be paid to the efforts making on the St. Lawrence. It is stated in an account before us that " the fine new propeller Western, Miller, left on Wednesday last, at two o'clock in the afternoon, having on board 6,000 bushels of new wheat and 550 barrels of new wheat flour, for the port of Montreal, direct without trans-shipment. This being the first shipment of what may be termed the Fall Work, naturally excited considerable interest; and the splendid appearance of the vessel, which has been com pletely overhauled and fitted with an upper deck, excited the admiration of all who witnessed her departure. Our readers e aware, from a former notice, that she is fitted a ith submerged screw propelling wheels, and as she mores without apparent smoke or steam, without splash of the water, and being besides fully rigged as a schooner, her appearance is quite dif ferent from any other vessel on the lake. Her last trip to Montreal and back was accomplished in eight days and six hours, including three days unloading and load ing in Montreal. Her average speed, when loaded, is now proved to be over nine miles an hour in all weathers, with 1,500 barrels on board she goes ten miles an hoes. The extraordinary dispatch which this class of vessels afford to business can only be realised by the fact that so certain are they in their movements, that with the aid of the magnetic telegraph, the cargo can be sold, and the remittance received, in three days from the time of completing their loding in Toronto. This, consider. ing the distance between Toronto and Montreal is 400 miles, should satisfy the most impatient speculator." A good deal of silver has been shipped from London this week.
