Several days ago the ingenious redacteur of the Presse designated the different candidates for the Presidentship by names symbolical of the tendency of their policy and of the hue of their character. The phrases were articulated with much of the arro gance, and also, we must acknowledge, with much of tha felicity, of the oracles breathed through the tubular trickeries of the Delphic Apollo. " General VAIONAC," said the journalist, " is the incarnation f.: the National; M. DE LANIARTINE is moderation ; M. LEDUC' ROLLIN, intimidation ; M. Tn lERS, inter vention ; Marshal BUGEAUD, arbitrary rule ; M. LOUIS NAPOLEON, the future." Since this very epi t;rammatic sentence was written the candidates have ?en reduced to four—CAVAIGNA C—LA MARTINE LUDRII ROLLIN—and LOUIS NAPOLEON. THIERS has recognised the impossibility of obtaining the suffrages of the population, after a career which, however brilliant, is devoid of the leaven of principle and of the glory of courage. Bu- CEA.I.II) has d a vanced with eagerness to respond to the requisitio n of a few enthusiasts; but in the very act of of advancing to compete with the and musclesthe political gladiators, he has :addenly thro wn away his CHANGARNIF.a, agai n , was we and retreated. mentionedapons the most prominent of thrn P coe as one among competitors, but the Com mander-in-Chief of the Nation a l Guards of faasd admirers i i s r a e p r - s Fointed the expectations of a little cluste r the encounter. declining to participate in the anxieties MOLE was talked of by the lovers of re t ros pect of a monarchical mediocrity, but he, the Eke manner, even befo re the stru gg le h as commenced, to employ the con ventional but ex p ressive slan g of the turf—nowhere ! RASPAIL afforded a certain evil fascination to the mob of ultra-democracy even from the depths of the Donjon of Vin cennes ; but RASPAIL, like all the other evanescent favourites of the moment, has already, like the glow-worm in Hamlet, begun "to pale his ineffectual fires." PItOnDHON, with that distracting eccentricity which is the principal characteristic of his creed, has diminished the chances of the only Socialist candidate, by announcing his determination to abstain from casting any votes into the urn of elec tion, because the office of President is contrary to his priuciole•. The wheels, and bands, and pivots, and and pistons, of the great political machine are Bing each moment more complicated in position, bewildering in number, and more violent in the ty of their movements ; and out of all this extra (•^,';nary elaboration and intricacy of mechanism, out (.I'lll the roar and din of agitation, the Administrative t-3,;vi;:ur of the Republic is expected to emerge on the lOth day of the approaching December. There is no longer any Egyptian pert capable of disgorging a hero who may be transformed by events from a Republican consul into an Imperial dictator. The beach of Frejus will be untrodden by the Coming Man. The orangery at St. Cloud will not again be diversified by the glitter- Inn: blades of the soldiery. The destined President is r. this moment within the boundaries of France. ho is he ? CAVAIGNAC ? LAMARTINE ? LEDILLT THE SUN, LONDON, ROLLIN ? Or Louis NAPOLEON ? Before it will be possible to estimate in any adequate manner the pro bability or the improbability of the election of one of these remarkable candidates, it is necessary to de velope in some measure the abrupt nomenclature of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN. " General CAVAIGNAC is the incarnation of the National." In other words, the ruling President of the Council is the embodiment of those principles which have actuated the minds of M. ARMAND MARRAST and his colleagues ever since the revolutionary detonation of February. True but not all the truth. General CAVAIGNAC is more than the incarnation of any journal, however influential. He is the represen tative of Armed Moderation. He is the beau ideal of that Republicanism which is clad in steel from head to foot, but which nevertheless, in the very midst of its martial aptitude and warlike preparation, is passive in its attitude, genial in its aspirations, earnest in its sincerity and devoted above all things to the maintenance of Order and Tranquillity. The souvenirs associated with the name of CAVAIGNAC are all of them guarantees for his loyalty to the in stitutions of Republicanism. He is not of the lendemain but of the vielle. If his parentage be a circumstance obscured by saturnine reminiscences, the criminality of his father was a criminality originating in the very exaggeration of his fanatical love for Democracy. That his son will adventure upon the emulation of those severe iniquities is demonstrably impossible. The experience of the Parisians since the desperate conflict of June has proved that the fault of EUGENB DE CAVAIGNAC is the reverse of cruelty—that his heart has imbibed the delights of lenity with the milk of that mother whose venerable years are to this day solaced by his noble and reverential affection. CAVAIGNAC is more, there fore, immeasurably more, than a mere emanation from the newspaper whose name has been consecrated in the love of all patriots by the recollection of AR MAND CARREL. "LAMARTINE is moderation." Well may the Bien Public exult in that simple phraseology. " Yes ! all France admits the truth of that declaration: for the fif teen 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 moderation." His genius has chaunted its apotheosis ; his heart has yearned un ceasingly for its realization ; his voice has pronounced its sublimity in language nerved with the vitality of conviction and radiant with the glory of eloquence. Moderation has been not the illusive meteor of his hopes,:not the ignis fatuus :of his enthusiasm, but the bright and eternal star which has guided him onwards in his career, and presided over his destinies in all the vicissitudes of his active and diversified life. For the furtherance of the truths of moderation, he has tasked to its uttermost the fruitfulness of his pliant and glorious intellect. He has ravished the souls of the million with a love for that modera tion of sentiment which could evoke from the abysses of his nature lyrical melodies such as had never been conceived in the language of AUBER. He has be come in turn the Bard, and the Dramatist, and the Orator, and the Historian of Moderation, whether he sang of the joys of domestic existence, or declaimed against the refusal of emancipation to the negroes, or repudiated the pernicious dreams of the Red Re publicans, or recorded the patriotic life and heroic death: of the great VERGNIAUD. These things would of themselves constitute a magnificent title to the Presidentship, but to the employment of his genius in the cause of Moderation LAMARTINE has added the risking of his life, again and again, in its defence. For his whole .political career, but especially for his extraordinary career since the days of February, LASLARTINg is deserving of the suffrages of his fellow-countrymen. His very name has become a national glory—his eloquence, his poetry, his patriotism, his earnestness, have all of them the characteristic signs of nationality. And these circumstances cannot fail to perpetuate the ad miration of his contemporaries if it fail to secure to him the majority of votes to the Presidency. While CAVAIGNAC and LAMARTINE may be thus designated, LBDRU ROLLIN must be regarded as a man whose elevation would be the inaugura tion of that rapine which is the result o Socialism, and of that terror which is the inevitable concomitant of Red Democracy. On the opposite hand "Louis NeroLzori is the future"—the future with all its dimness and incertitude, the future with all its doubts and awfulness, the future with all its possible misery and undeveloped misfortunes. Be sides the :foregoing terms of elucidation, there is another which may with the brevity of an epigram designate in their proper light the characters of the four principal candidates. CAVAIGNAC tends towards Security; LAMARTINE towards Happiness; LEDRU ROLLIN towards Terror ; and Louis NAPOLEON to wards the reflection of a Glory which may terminate in the mimicry of a Despotism. On Saturday we pointed out some of the extraor dinary results that followed the establishment of railway communication throughout the land, and showed that the community in general were more deeply interested in the prosperity and extension of the railway system than even the shareholders them selves ; an i we promised, on a future occasion, to con sider how far those interests may be affected by the proposed amalgamation. We now proceed to redeem that promise. The notices that have been published of the con templated application shows that it is intended to take power to unite and consolidate their respective under takings and property into one undertaking, or that any two of the adjoining companies might unite and consolidate their undertakings, and that the third company may unite on a future occasion with the other undertakings that had previously come to an arrangement. The notice further adds, "that the Bill will alter the tolls, rates, and duties now autho rised to be levied by the several companies, and will grant exemptions from the same, and will confer such rights, powers, and privileges as maybe needful for the attainment of the objects aforesaid, and will extin guish all rights and privileges which may prevent the attainment of these objects. It is manifest, therefore, that a new compact is to be entered into between the public generally and a vast corporation of greater powers and more un bounded means than have ever existed at any former period in any land. A few private individuals will have under their exclusive control and management a capital exceeding . 40,000,000/. sterling, realising at present prices only, and without any extension of communication, upwards of 10,0001. per diem, or 70,000/. per week, or 3,640,0001. per annum—will afford employment to a host of subordinates, all exclusively occupied in and receiving handsome sala ries from the company ; and they will basides have myriads of navigators employed on the works that will continually be in course of construction, all of whom will be more or less under the influence and direction of the fortunate few to whom they must look for promotion or retention in their daily occupa tion. The entire military force of the country will be far outnumbered by the " railway troops." It might well . be doubted whether such gigantic powers, such extraordinary patronage, could safely be en trusted in the hands of any private individuals, without some check or counterpoise, even if un doubted national advantages were to arise there from. It was • the teir parent considered necessary to limit the p owers of East India Comp an y, although th e sp h ere oft h operations is ma n y thou sands of mile s from the state. What efficient or adequate control cou l d be maintainedlth over com pany having even still greater wealth or at their di sposa l , and being enabled to check at thei r mere will and Pleasure the entire traffic from !Portsmouth on the south a distri c t , ' ranging alon g t h e coast of England, and to Perth in the sister kiwnesterng the whole of which will be in their excl us i ve ll posses sion, as it would be vain to hope th .t any m i n(); company could for a moment compete with the con centrated strength that will then have been attained? We do not desire to be understood as asserting that the highly respectable gentlemen who at present constitute the boards of directors of the three com panies, and from whom the directors of the united company, will of course be selected, if the proposed amalgamation should take place, would be disposed to make any improper use of the additional powers that would be placed in their hands. We would place those powers as readily in their hands as in those of any other private individuals that could be selected. But why should they at all be granted, unless some permanent necessity, some vast advantage to the community in general should be I obtained thereby ? Now, we confess that we cannot discern any such advantage either to the shareholders or to the public. It will, of course, prevent the ruin ous contests, the enormous legal and Parliamentary expenses that we have formerly witnessed. But might not the same good end be obtained by other means ? Why should not a cordial understanding and friendly communication be maintained between the directing powers, although they are not amalgamated into one and the same body ? Might not neighbouring na tions remain at peace, and keep up amicable re lations, although they should not be placed under one Government ? All parties have surely suffered sufficiently from the warfare that was for some time waged to render it very improbable, indeed, that there should be a voluntary resumption of hostilities. The Battle of the Gauges is now a matter of history, but there is little prospect of the present generation witnessing a similar conflict. Everything forbids— the state of the money market opposes an insuperable obstacle, and we witness an anxiety on the part of the companies to withdraw from undertakings that have already been authorised, rather than to demand power for the construction of fresh lines. If, then, the proposed amalgamation is not essential for the purpose of saving heavy legal expenses, and we conceive that the day for such useless and unne cessary outlay has altogether gone by, for what other purpose can it be desired ? From whom can any additional advantage be obtained ? Clearly from the public, and the public only. We would rejoice to see the shareholders obtaining the fair and remune rating dividend on their capital stock, which their enterprise so richly deserves; but we should wish to see those dividends realised by the large traffic obtained from affording additional facilities to the nation, and not by increasing or with holding the accommodation now offered. Some security is now obtained by the fair and honourable competition between the different par ties ; but when that is withdrawn, there will they be no protection whatever. The Legislature bas declared that fares cannot be increased upon a certain amount, regulated by the several Acts ; but there is nothing to compel them to run a sufficient number of trains, and arrangements may be made by which travellers would be forced into express trains, who could not afford the time to travel by the " Parliamen tary." Under all the circumstances, we confess that we regard the contemplated arrangement with :strong misgivings, and that we should greatly prefer seeing each of the companies labouring steadily and dili gently in its respective district. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The fete to celebrate the promulgation of the Con stitution is to take place on Sunday next in Paris, and on the foilowing Sunday in the departments. A platform will be raised on the Place de la Concorde from which the Constitution will be read aloud to the people, after which the Te Deum will be sung, accom panied by salvoes of artillery. At the same time a liberal distribution of food and money will take place to the poor of Paris at their own houses. The secret of the hatred borne by EMILE DE GI RARDIN to General CAVAIGNAC has been at length discovered. Emma DE GIRARDIN, it appears, prof fered his literary services to General CAvAiuNikc, who, like a sensible man, rejected the offer. The following report from Captain PLEB of the examination of EMILE DB GIRARDIN on the 27th June appears in the Siecle " Paris, June 27, 1848. " Citizen Minister,—Conformably to law, citizen Emile do Girardin has been submitted to a first interro gatory. Be has not been able to deny the bad tendencies of those articles of the Presse that are enumerated. The citizen Emile de Girardin is profoundly a2licted at the situation and the horrors we have all witnessed. He has manifested the desire that I should make known to the Minister the result of any conversation with him in his prison. The result is, that the writer puts his pen en tirely at the disposal of the Minister. He only asks for the moment some necessary alleviation of his position. I ought to add, that I found the citizen Emile de Girardin under a strange delusion as to the consequences of Paris being placed in a state of siege. (Signed) " FLEE, "Captain of the Staff, Reporter." The Presse admits the authenticity of this report, but flounders sadly in attempting to explain it away. The Presse has in its advocacy of the candidature of Prince Louts NAPOLEON found an ally and as sistant in the Gazette de France. The support of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN is alone sufficient greatly to damage any cause, but to be cursed with the support of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN and the Abbe DE GENOUDE together is absolute ruin. M. BETHMONT, the late Minister of Justice, will, it is said, succeed M. SEGUIER as First President of the Court of Appeal of Paris. The Socialist banquet at Mont Parnasse took place on Sunday, and seems to have been a failure. The following report of the proceedings appears in the Paris morning papers of yesterday : " A banquet, with the high-sounding title of ' The Federation of the People of Europe,' took place yester day, at the Barrier Mont Parnasse, at which about 800 guests were assembled. The price fixed was 30 sous a head. M. Ledru Rollin, who, it was said, had promised to preside, was non est inventus at the appointed hour, and his absence gave rise to loud discussion and mur murs, but which were at length put an end to by one of the managers explaining that it was by a mistake that his name was announced as president, but that his pro mise had not been definitively obtained. The chair was eventually taken by M. Lachambaudie. No member of the National Assembly was present. " The object of the banquet was expressed as follows, in the circular announcing it :-- 6 The completion of the French revolution in Europe is a federation of all na tions. It is for that object that this fraternal banquet is proposed.' Very few foreigners were, however, pre sent, the greatest part of the guests being composed of national Socialists. "M. Garnet gave the first toast, 'To the abolition of wages,' which was afterwards succeeded by others, 'To the Democratic and Social Republic,' To the Lom bardo-Venetian People, and success to their glorious cause,' "To the heroism of the Democrats of Vienna,' and To universal fraternity.' " M. St. Just gave a very long toast, which was fre quently interrupted by loud applause, and which was at the conclusion encored. The principal points of this toast were:—" Aux hommes forts, aux hommes cou rageux et vaillans pour la cause de l'humanite; I ceux dont le nom sert de guide, d'appui, et d'exarnple aux i'res ab faardis; it tous ceux quo l'histoire appelle des heros! A Brutus, I Catalina, I Jesus Christ, I Julien l'Apostat, a Attila! el tousles penseurs du moyen-age, aux penseurs malheureux-4 Jean Jacques Rousseau, A son aye Maximilian Robespierre.' This enunciation of proper names was received with three rounds of ap plause, at the termination of which the speaker added, To the Democratic Republicans of the present day, Louis Blanc, Raspail, and Barbel.' Here another out burst of applause stopped his progress, and when silence was restored he continued with the names of Ledru Rollin, Proudhon, and Thor4,' concluding with to every Brutus of royalty, to every Gracchus of property, to general association, to the universal federation of all nations.' "Several other toasts of a similar character followed, and the party broke up with the Marsellaise ' and the ' Chant du Depart.' Everything passed off with the greatest order. The affair attracted no attention out of doors, and not a single group of curious gazers was as sembled." The Minister of the Interior, in accordance with the article of the preamble of the Constitution, which declares that the Republic ought to ensure the means of existence to necessitous citizens, has appointed a committee to consider the best means of doing so. The following is a complete list of the representa tives who voted against the Constitution :—Benoit, Berryer, Bounier de l'Ecluse, BravarthToussaint, Arives, Bruys (Amedee), Cholat, Crespel de La touche, De Fontaine, Denoise, Deville, Doutre, Favreau, Gambon ' (Ferdinand), Greppo, Hugo (Victor), Joigneaux, Lantoine-Hardouin, Lefranc (Pyrenees Orientales), Lubbert, De Montalembert, Pelletier, Pierre Leroux, Proudhon, De Puysegur, Pyat (Felix), Raspail (Eugene), De Larochejaque lein, De Sesmaisons. fav T o h u e r o j r G r e oul 1 a n e l r a d l e C s to th e pretensions of Prince Louts NAPOLEON to be A D v A e i b a a N ts A , c , without decidedly e declaring ose in d The funds fell yesterday on the Paris Bourse 1 per cent.

The Cologne Gazette of the .sth publishes the fol. lowing dispatch, which had been received in that city by electric telegraph :—" Vienna, Nov. I.—The city of Vienna is entirely occupied by the Imperial troops." The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 4th gives this intel ligence, with the addition that " tranquillity is re stored." The Prussian Moniteur of the 4th gives the follow ing narrative of events at Vienna during the days of the 31st Oct. and Ist Nov.:— " On the morning of the 31st Oct. the Imperial troops had penetrated into the interior of the town, having first possessed themselves of the suburbs. White flags were displayed on the bastions, and in consequence the troops advanced, but were received with a discharge of fire-arms. Thereupon the bombardment recom menced with grenades and shells. At this mo ment the palace and the library took fire. Some say the fire was not caused by the grenades. but that the people did it. After the bombardment the city capitulated and the troops occupied the Castle, the Kartner Strasse, the Place St. Etienne, and here they were fired on by the populace from the windows of the houses. The soldiers broke open the Burgthor and the Karutnerthor, and they took thz Castle by assault. The flames were seen rising above the cupola of the library, and on the Ist instant efforts were being made to extin guish the fire, and hopes were entertained of saving the manuscripts and the most valuable books. The students held out the longest in that part of the town in which the University is situated. On the Ist they were still in possession of the barracks of the Salzgries ; the University was entered by the Imperial troops, and at noon these barracks were taken by assault and many prisoners made of the students." The fire in the Palace and Library was extin guished, and it is hoped that the inestimable treasures of that noble collection will not be lost. The students fought like madmen ; and when the rest of the city had given in, still defended themselves in the vicinity of the Aula, supported by a portion of the workmen. On the Ist November they still held out in the Salzgries barracks. The Aula was taken by the Imperial troops, and at noon the barracks were carried by storm. General BEM is reported to have escaped, and is said to have carried off a large sum of money with him. PULSEI and SCHUTT'S had not been captured . This latter intelligence is, however, vague. On the 31st Oct. 500 prisoners were made. On the same day the Hungarians re crossed the Leitha, and withdrew. Vienna is completely in the possession of WINDIscu- GRATZ, who has established his heal-quarters there. Throughout the whole of these transactions, we hear nothing of the Ban J E LLACHICII and his horde of Croatian Pandours. The probability is, that WIN DISCIIGRATZ, aware of the plundering propensities of the Croats and of the laxness of their discipline, feared to trust them in Vienna, and therefore dispatched the worthy Condottiero JELLICUICH and his barbarian mercenaries to the frontiers, in order to keep them out of mischief. fillid not only the hall, but also the streets loading to the House of Assembly. The announcement was received with the most lively manifestation of joy, both within and without the hall. May our truly democratic constitution, by which we have ad vanced beyond all the German States, be to us a protecting shield for the future. May it be the foundation of our true happiness." The Breslau Zeitung contains a very energetic protest from the deputation of the magistrates of Prague who went to 011mutz respecting the reception which they met with at the Imperial Court. At first they were left standing on the staircase, and then Prince LOBKOWITZ dismissed them from the corridor. A letter from Prague of the 30th states that the EMPEROR was expected to arrive there immediately, and that some of the Imperial domestics had arrived there already. MO E l An:t CO ti CI AL NEWS. CITY, QUARTE I? TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales 5,500 bales.—Railway shares were steady also. The accounts from Paris are still of a less favour able character than might he desired, and the funds there continue to react almost immediately after a rise. Not only is the financial position of the Republic a source of uneasiness, but the election of President, until concluded, will keep the country in a state of uncertainty, and be made the pretext for exag gerated and alarming rumours. Tne Hamburgh mail has arrived, but her letters add nothing to the previous accounts respecting Vienna. The funds and shares at Hamburgh were rather flat. Exchange on London, 13 8. In some remarks by a Novia Scotian, dated Halifax, we have facts tending to advance materially the general appreciation of free-trade principles. The writer observes that, " by papers lately received, and by some of the city papers, we are informed of the arrival at Quebec of the steamer Free-trader, from Chicago, at the bottom of Leke Michigan. If the statements in the papers be correct, she has performed a distance of 2,360 miles in land navigation, made up the lake, river, and canal in eleven days, or at the rate of 214 miles a day, and has brought a clrgo of over 6,000 bushels of corn. This distance is but little less than the distance from here to Ireland. To hundreds, probably to thou sands, who have not had opportunity of judging of the importance of this arrival the paragraph announcing it will be read as an ordinary notice•, but to those who are acquainted with the natural difficulties that have to be overcome to admit of the glorious con summation, and who can picture the results likely to flow from it, it must be read with an intense interest. 1' his is virtually tapping the great producing tracts of the West by their principal, I might say, na tural outlet. The whole of the country bordering on the chains of lakes from St. Peter's to Superior, a distance of over 3,000 miles, can now send their produce to the Atlantic markets by the St. Lawrence without reshipment. This is a desideratum that cannot be arrived at for the same cost and with the same advan tage by any other route. The advantage over the New Orleans route is very great. The proximity of the Atlantic ports to Europe, and the breadstuffs having to pass through a temperate, instead of a torrid climate, are great advantages, putting the risk of transit and risk of health attending a voyage to New Orleans out of the question. Breadatuffs, or other goods, now shipped at Chicago could be landed in the British islands and some ports of Europe, on an average ,of from 35 to 40 days from the days of shipment, allowing it to be re shipped at Quebec. From the vicinity of Chicago (which now is, or soon will be, the heart of that great producing country) by the New Orleans canal, it could not be done, at the least, in less than from 60 to 70 days on an average. A cargo of breadstuffs, by this route, being so long on shipboard, and a great part of the time in a hot climate, the danger of heating and sour ing, even in flour, is very great, and grain of course much more so." The Stock Market has been improving again to-day, and there has been a firmer tone among the dealers and speculators, although the accounts from Paris have some little effect. Consols have realised 86* to -4., and are now 86* to 1. Although money is so abundant, the value of the unfunded debt continues to recede, and it is pre sumed that the Bank may be selling to take some of the Government two millions loan, or that private parties are changing their investment. The great amount of cash unemployed, and the extremely low terms upon which it is obtainable where anything like good security is offered, do nut justify the idea that want of means is the cause of the sales.

The following is the address to the KING unani mously agreed to by the Assembly in the sitting of Ist Nov., deprecating the appointment of a Branden burgh Ministry : " Sire,—Having been informed that the Count of Brandenburgh has been charged with the formation of a new Ministry, the National Assembly, in its sitting of this day, resolves to send to your Majesty a deputation chosen from its body, to represent to your Majesty that that step has awakened in the people the most lively in quietude, and menaces the country with terrible m•sfor tunes. For many weeks your Majesty's le.ithful people have been alarmed with rumours of reaction, and the nomination of the Ministry which has just retired has not tended to weaken these rumours. A Govern ment under the auspices of the Count of Brandenburgh leaves nothing to hope that it could obtain the confidence of the majority of the Assembly, or that of the people, but will increase the ferment in the public mind to a point that may lead to events in our country as melancholy as those that have affixted a neighbouring state. Your Majt sty has not been truly informed by your Councillors respecting' the real condition of the country if they have not pointed out to you this danger to the throne and the people. We address the heart of your Majesty—that heart that has always felt for the happiness of the people, and press upon you our respectful prayer, that you will give to the country a popular Ministry, as a guarantee that the views of your Majesty are in unison with those of your people." - A deputation, as we stated yesterday, was dis patched with this address to Potsdam. The KING, in reply, refused to withdraw the commands which he had given to Count BRANDENEURGH to form a Ministry, but the Count himself, convinced of the hopelessness of the task which his Sovereign hid forced upon him, declined the mission. When the resignation of the Count became known, pubflc tranquillity in Berlin was at once restored. It is said the KING will now entrust the mission of forming a new Ministry to M. GRADOW. The report that General STOCKHAUSEN is to succeed General Von PFUEL, Minister of War, as Ministe rial President, is confirmed. It is not decided, how ever, that General VON PFUEL will altogether quit the Cabinet. There are various conjectures respect ing his future position in it. RUSSIA AND POLAND. WARSAW, OCT. 2 7.—The assembling of the troops on the extreme boundaries, and the conscription on the 19th, must be considered as the most remarkable events of the last week. It is known that it has been decreed that the dreaded conscription shall take place in Poland throughout the whole country in one night, in consequence of which the minds of all men are filled with horror and dismay, and thousands have fled ; nor is it confined to one class, but extends to all, without exception. The official Courrier Warszawski speaks in its last number of 6,000 fugitives from the city and environs of 'Warsaw alone, and it may be conceived how numerous are the persons who have been compelled to leave their homes and families in the Russo-Polish boundary city. A term of military service of 25 years, the banish ment to the most distant part of the country, the cruel treatment when in such service, which is a disgrace to human nature—these are the horrors which intimidate all from entering the Russian military service. The cholera has abated considerably, only indivi dual cases are spoken of. Two places in the kingdom of Poland remain exempt from its attacks, namely, the former government of Kalisch and the Woiwod - Wielau in the Upper Provinces. The Servio-Wallachian affairs and the disturbance in Vienna gave rise to much disquietude and dis cussion. _ Very important enterprises are spoken of which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is disposed to carry out in its foreign political relations. ST. PETERSBURGH, OCT. 24.—The lnvalide Rune announces that the EmpEnon, by an Imperial ukase, addressed to the Chapter of Royal and Imperial Orders, has been pleased to confer the order of St. George of the South Class upon Lieutenant- General Count WRATISLAW, Aide-de -Camp to his Majesty the Emperor of AUSTRIA; also upon Lieutenant- General Baron D'ASPRE, commander of the second corps; and Lieutenant-General Von HESSE, Quarter master-General of the Austrian army, in testimony of these distinguished persons' valour at the battles of Somma Campagna and Costozza. WURTZBURG. OCT. 29.—CONGRESS OF GERMAN BISHOPS.—The Congress of the German Bishops which is assembled in our city is transformed into an actual Provincial German Synod, both on account of the great number of prelates and ecclesiastics who are present at it, and the length of its duration, called for by the important questions which are debated there. In the prepara tory sitting, held on the 22d, the Archbishop of Cologne was elected president, and the Bishops of Augsburg and Rotterdam vice-presidents.—Journal de Frankjort. ANHALT. DESSAX, OCT. 29.—The Magdeburg Zeitung says —" Our new Constitution was this day sanctioned by the DUKE. It was adopted without any change, just as it had issued from the hands of the committee who had been charged with its revision. "Two copies, the one for Anhalt-Dessau, the other for Anhalt-Coethen, were signed by the DUKE. "At a meeting of the Diet, whi ch was o p ened this day, the Minister Hamcirr announced this joyful intelligence, and afterwards to the crowd, which DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 31.—At a sitting of the Diet, the House decided on the sketch of an address in reply to the speech from the throne. It is very rich in phrases but very poor in fact=. Denmark is highly extolled for having acquired its liberty from the KING without the shedding of a drop of blood in the revolu tionary year of 1848. It then goes off upon the Schleswig-Holstein question, and reprobates the lawless and illegal treatment to which their fellow subjects of Schleswig were exposed'after the conclu sion of the armistice.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle, Nov. 3 ITALY. The following proclamation has been issued by Mazzim, calling all Italians to arms, in the name of the "Central Junta of Insurrection :" " NATIONAL INSURRECTION—CENTRAL JUNTA. " The horn has sounded. In the name of God and of the people, rise Lombards; rise and advance. Let in surrection spread with the rapidity of thought; let the tricolour flag float from the summit of the Alps, from mountain to mountain, until our victory shall be assured from one end of Italy to the other. "'God and the p;ople," War on Austria,' Long live Italy, one and free.' Such should be our cry; let it be repeated from town to town, from village to village. Say to Europe that Italy rises and will not again fall. Let the tocsin announce the extermination of the barbarians, and the insurrection of the people; let all priests and cures preach a crusade. Light fires on the hills, in order that the valleys may know what is going on. Two fires shall be the signal of combat, three of victory. Divide the enemy in order to destroy them more readily; pre vent their rallying of detached corps; wherever an Aus trian detachment may be, attack it; surround it with barricades, and shower down stones and boiling water on their heads; fight them with muskets or with knives; strike their chiefs; cut down trees; tear up roads arid destroy bridges; place yourselves in ambush, and strike wherever an opportunity offers. " Every kind of arms and ammunition taken from the enemy belongs to the State; consequently, everything of that kind must be handed over to the c:vil or mili tary authorities. Money and other articles belonging to soldiers or officers, belong by right to those who kill them or take them prisoners. Spare all who surrender immediately, but have no pity for those who resist. " The post•houses are to be used exclusively for the service of the insurrection. Churches, hospitals, asy lums, and mills are placed under the protection of the citiz ns ; the women and children are confided to the honour of the people. " All officers and employes who shall remain in the service of the enemy are declared traitors to the coun try; they merit death. " Let direct means of communication be organized with the neighbouring country, and with the neighbour ing insurrectionary authorities. " Let every mau capable of bearing arms join the in surrection; let all the women act as sisters of charity. Let insurrection, in a word, be the life and law of the Lombardian people until the enemy is entirely exter minated. " Let one cry alone be heard, ' War with Austria and National Sovereignty.' The nation t►lone will proclaim its laws after it has achieved victory. "Lombards! it is tl►e people who make war; and this time yon shall not be betrayed. "Inhabitants of Venetia! You who have kept alive the sacre I fire of independence, leave your laguues and join u•. "Come to us, Lombardian and Venetian soldiers! Cro.s the frontier which separates you from your brethren, and come and defend our c untry. " Rush forward to gain your independence, citizens of Italy! The horn for a national war has sounded; let one faith, one flag unite us. It will depend on yourselves to be great and powerful. Long live Italy I " Signed for the Junta, " MAZZINI—BONETTI. " Valley of Incelvi, Oct. 29." According to the Concordia the Austrians have retaken Chiavenna, but the insurrection is spreading on every other point. The Austrians, who attempted to effect a landing in the vallies of Incelvi and Menasina, were defeated with great loss. They have also been defeated at Almo, and the inhabitants of the banks of the lake of Como, and of the mountains of Bergamo, Camasso, and Brescia are in arms for the Italian Republic. On the 29th the Republicans intended attacking the Lego Maggiore. Two Deputies from the Valteline, who passed through Cigliano on the 31st ult., stated that the people were in possession of all the military points, and that they had taken 1,400 Austrians. The Opinione of Turin, of the 31st, states that General PEPE had defeated an Austrian detachment, and letters from Padua, published in the same journal, stated that the Vene_ tians had made a sortie from the fort of Malghera and had taken possession of Mestre and Pusini. In the former place they found two pieces of cannon and some ammunition. The National Savoisien states that the Austrians have evacuated Finale, and that the people had imme diately hoisted the tri•ocoloured flag of CHARLES ALBERT. All was tranquil in Tuscany when the last accounts left. The inhabitants of Florence went in grand procession on the 30th to thank the Grand Duke for having appointed a liberal Ministry. General Zuccnr, the new Roman Minister of War, arrived at Rome on the 27th ult. Naples was perfectly tranquil on the 27th ult. ------ COTENT - CARDEN TMEATRE• —The celebrated Mdlle. Nissen makes her debut this evening, on the Eng lish stage, in the character of Norma. Her performance of this part, if any dependence may be placed upon the unan i mou s opinions of the continental musical journals, has elicited a perfect f urore. As a fellow-pupil and coun trywoman of Jenny Lind, her announced appearance has created no ordinary degree of excitement, End should she meet with the success so universally anticipated, her accession to our lyrical st a g e wil l be an important event. LYCEUM THEATRE.—Crowas continue nightly t o flock to this elegant: theatre, and, although the same pieces.have appeared on the bill since the opening night, with the exception of the new farce of My Father Did So Before Me, in which Mr. John Reeve made so suc dhiffeFerelletijnhtea cessful a Milt, the attraction seems undiminished.

For this even ing he has announced a Ladies' Equestrian Fate, for the first time in Scotland. Herr Hengler's astonishing per formances on the corde elastique, the skilful and daring horsemanship of M. Benedict, and Messrs. Bridges and Powell, the salient gambols of the Arabs, as well as the elegant equestrianism of the numerous and accomplished female artistes of the company, may be noticed as among the most attractive exhibitions at this establishment.— Caledonian Mercury. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THB GARDE NATIONALE.—On the 31st ult., his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, held a Court of Lord Manage at Dover. After the business of the Court had terminated his Grace walked from the Market Place to the Pier. and inspected the different works going on in the Harbour, and for the formation of the Harbour of Refuge, as also the inroads making on the Bay by the sea, from the late tempestuous weather, and having at length reached the Council House, appa rently without the least fatigue, he , took his carriag e an d left for Walmer Castle , at t hree o clock, under a salute from the guns at the Heights. As the Duke of Wel lington was passing over the Cross-wall, he met three of the National Guards of Paris, and they being told that his Grace was approaching, came to a dead stand still, and stared with outstretched eyes. The Duke, with his usual politeness, touched his hat, which the French men returned, and appeared to be in ecstasies. --. Lover Herald. T HE COURT FOR THE TRIAL OF CRIMINAL Ap- PEALS --We have authority for saying that the new Court under the im p ortant Act introduced in t he last session by Lord C am p bell, for tr y in g a pp eal s from the c ircuits and session s has a pp ointed Saturda y next, at o'clock, for its first sitting, and that the Court, will, i n pursuance of the provisions of the statute, consist of the Chief Baron, and Justices Patteson, Cresswell, Erle, and Maule. The parish of St. Clement Danes is at present the scene of an exciting contest for the vacant office of vestry cleric. Eight candidates are in the field, but few with other effect than that of advertisement. Mr. Isaacson (of the firm of Isaacson and Alderson), of Norfolk-street ; Gregory and Sons, of Clement's Inn; M essrs . T ruw hi tt; and Mr. Score, of Carey-street, are the principal candi dates. The very long standing of the first-named gen tleman in the parish, as well as the esteem generally manifested towards him by the leading parishioners, would appear to augur no less favourably for his deserts than for his success.
