There appears to be no doubt that considerable excitement prevails among the labouring ea=ses, that some threa• tening demonstrations have actually taken place, and that a collision has occurred between a small party of police, at the Glenbower station, and a body of insur gents, in which the former maintained their positron with the utmost bravery, and succeeded in keeping their assailants at bay until the approach of a rein forcement of military and police made the besiegers decamp with the utmost rapidity. We still adhere to the opinions which we yesterday put forward, " that the movement is more of an agrarian than of a political character"—that its object is to obtain employment and provision for the popu lation during the forthcoming winter, rather than to dethrone our most Gracious SOVEREIGN, or to establish an Irish Republic. The harvest has now in a great degree been gathered in, landlords are looking for payments on account of the large arrears of rents that are owing in every district. The glowing descrip tions that were put forward in the earlier part of the year by the revolutionary press, under the head of " Our Harvest Prospects," and others of a similar descrintion, have not as yet been forgotten, but have sunk deep into the minds of the peasantry, who are naturally delighted at the prospect of every man retaining the produce of his own holding, with out performing the vulgar ceremony of devoting any portion thereof to the wants or exigencies of the land lords. A. slight disturbance in the country will afford a supply of excuses to the occupiers for the non -performance of their contracts, and enable them to make away with the secured crops during the continuance of the outbreak, casting the blame thereof on the insurgents. This i 3 an opportunity that is not to be thrown away, and in all human probability it will be found that the present demon stration—we can scarcely dignify it with the term insurrection—is chiefly ascribable to this cause. We doubt not that a very few days will bring the intel ligence of the entire dispersal of the peasantry, and the restoration of order and tranquillity, so far, at least, as it can be hoped for in the county of Tip• perary. Milit try rewards are too often dispensed with a e niggardly hand under the British Government. NA POLEON, with the wisdom of a warrior and a states man, acted otherwise. If his policy of compensation was ever carried to excess, it was always on the side of munificence. He knew by experience that patriotism is more generally diffused through the dif ferent classes of a nation by a display of generosity towards those who have ever afforded an evidence of its pos sess i on, than by a miserly distribution of honours, kew and a d espicable reservation of praise. He , moreov er , that the prowess of an army n was better cultivated by a p. (1 . - I isay of magnanimity towards its chieftains, and by the elevati on of its mo r e de eserving su ort.lt nes, than by th e exercise of a syst systematic severity and the deni a l o f a ready and graduatedn promotion. rn We cannot, m os t assuredly, plum e ou rselves upon th e same impulsi ve p ru d ence and thesame economical prodigality.

On Tues day evening, September 12th (we are perfectly aware), the Gazette announced that Lieutenant HERBERT BENJAMIN EDWARDES, of the Ist European Regiment of Fusiliers, on the Bengal establishment, was promoted to the local rank of major (by brevet), in the Lahore territories. We are also enabled to surmise, from the declarations made a few evenings back, in the House of Commons, by the Prime Mi nister, that a mark of honour will be forwarded to Lieutenant EDWARDES, immediately from the hands of his SOVEREIGN, that it is the intention of her Majesty the QUEEN to evidence the earnest ness of thee royal pleasure by bestowing upon the young hero one of the military orders of knighthood. Of the first recompense there is no longer any room for doubt ; of the second there is ample space for the indulgence of curiosity. The first is a fact, the second a conjecture. Well, upon these grounds we have no hesitation whatever in ex pressing our amazement at the insufficiency of the rewards bestowed upon this very distinguished officer. His extreme youth, relatively speaking, is nothing to the purpose. The skill, the resolution, the prompti tude, the foresight, the strategies, the daring, the brilliant courage and administrative saga. city, the diplomatic achievements and the martial victories, all the circumstances of the career of Lieutenant EDWARDES in the field of his brilliant operations, constirutute a sufficient counter poise to the fact of his being merely in the twenty eighth year of his age. His deeds in the battle, and in the council, impart to him at once the dignity of a veteran. He requires no more remote date in the registration of his birth to prove him, in an eminent degree, to be competent to perform all the offices of a Colonel. A Colonel ? Why, during the last quarter of a year he has been fulfilling all the duties and satisfying all the responsibilities which in the ordinary course of things devolve upon a Commander-in• Chief. If there is wanting any proof of this, it is only necessary to refer to the narrative of his proceedings in regard to the barbaric despotism of the MOOLRAJ Although these occurrences are by no means comparable in magni tude to many of the warlike achievements which have illustrated the history of the British empire in India, we do not hesitate to declare that they may be numbered among the most glorious testimonies of the superiority of British intellect over Eastern craft, and British valour over Oriental audacity. The suddenness with which the Chieftain of Msoltan has been con quered by a simple Lieutenant of the Ist European Regiment of Fusiliers may vie with any event which has illustrated the arms of England in Hindostan, from HIDER ALI down to TH.POO SAID, from Seringapatarn to Sobraon, from Lord Curs to Lord GOUGH, from the triumphs of Sir ETRE COOTE in the Carnatio to those of Sir CHARLES NAPIER in Sinde. It must be remembered that Lieutenant EDWARDES stood alone on the first breaking out of the insurrection on the frontiers of the Punjaub. He was an isolated Englishman, without so much as an escort of Sepoys to aid him in his heroic undertaking. From that barren waste of circumstances he has reaped a rich harvest of glory, and that too in his youth, and un assisted. His genius was more productive than the dragon's teeth in the Greek myth—he not only created an army of eight thousand soldiers, but he inspired them with something of his own enthusiasm ; he set at defiance tle MooLRAJ with all his hordes, the DEWAN with all his guile, the Gooaoo with all his fanaticism ; he contrived to unite his Mahome dan forces with the troops of Colonel COURTLAND he collected together 3,000 additional men, natives of A ffghaniAan ; he joined that reinforcement to the auxiliary legions of Bhawulpore ; he rendered the leader of the Cashmere conspiracy, the famous EMAUM•OOD-DEEM, one of his most formid able supporters ; he held under his command the principal general of the Nawaub, by name FUTTEH MmaomEn-GHOREE; he advanced rapidly from Jella pore to Alleepore, driving back the bands of the MOOLRAJ from Derajat towards the capital; on the 18th of June he gained a victory near Soojabad, and on the Ist of July another at the village of Sadoosam, where he scattered his antagonists in disorder even to the walls of the metropolis of Mooltan. On both these occasions Lieutenant EDWARDES is de scribed as having secured the victory to the British forces by personal acts of the most incomparable bravery. And for these extraordinary achieveme is, for this courage and this intelligence, for havi n ,„ as one may say, alone crushed under his heel what might ultimately have produced a general conflagration of Rebellion, HERBERT BENJAMIN EDWARDES is promoted to the rank of LI& e vet. .0111Jui, WICL we tccuic caLuulet a.. Is pauapc,- tive knighthood. Whatever this recompense may be to others, it does not appear to us as marked either by the semblance of munificence or by the were show of magnanimity. The National has the following on the Sicilian and the Austro-Italian questions : s' The news of the taking of Messina is unfortunately confirmed to day. We have received details which leave no doubt on that subject. Messina was carried on the 8:h, after a combat of five days. The commandants of the English and French naval forces have done all they could to prevent the calamities of this struggle, or to soften them. Seven thousand inhabitants, the greater number of whom were women and children, found a refuge under the French flag. We learn, at the same time, that the French Minister at Naples has wished the Nsisgs'ti,7, ( . - ) - it7 7 ,;ill;Vrti;(7l"gfaey' (Palermo, for will be sheltered from all attack. On the other hand, Admiral Parker, on the proposition of Admiral Baudin, addressed a similar invitation to the Neapolitans. While these events are happening in Sicily, another in cident of incontestable gravity is taking place in the Adriatic. The Sardinian fleet is quitting, it is said, the waters of Venice, carrying with it the Sardinian troops; and it i 8 added, that the Austrians, finding no further obstacles, were to occupy the city. We do not believe the latter part of this, for the fol lowing reasons)—The armistice concluded between Austria end Charles Albert stipulates (Art. 4) that ' tjie Sardinian troops will evacuate Venice,' but it does not speak of the occupation by Austria. Now in trea• ties it is not permitted to give to the text an extension beyond what is formally stipulated. It has not been settled that the Austrians should enter, and in virtue of the law of nations they are interdicted from entering. But it is not our business to consider what interpretation is to be given to the armistice by Sardinia. That armi stice was never recognized by France. That which France has proposed, and which Austria has implicitly accepted, with the mediation to which it serves as the point de depart, is the state quo. It results that nothing should be changed in the position of the belligerent parties since the day of the acceptance of the mediation till the issue of the negotiations. Let the Sardinians, then, retire if they please from Venice; we cannot op- pose it, but we cannot suffer that Austria should take advantage of that retreat to violate conventions subscribed by her and with us." In another column we publish a letter which has been addressed to us by Captain DixoN, in reply to some observations which we felt it to be our duty to make on certain proceedings which took place before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, at chambers, on the 7th of August last, in the matter of GEORGE WILLIAM DIXON, an alleged lunatic. • As Captain Mame expressly declares that he does not advocate the law of lunacy as it at present stands, nor the certificate system, which are the only things we attack, and as he comes forward mainly to defend the character of Sir GEORGE PRE VOST, whom we have not attacked (for we always have and always shall cautiously abstain from mak ing personal attacks), we might suffer the letter of Captain DIXON to pass without observation, were it not that he, by a side-wind, endeavours to support that system of which he denies that he is the advocate, and while defending Sir GEORGE PREVOST takes occasion to attack in no measured terms that excels, lent institution, the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society. Captain DIXON says— " The Lunatics' Friend Society,' who had heard of Mr. Dixnn's confinement, instituted an inquiry into the case, and all hough there was ample meaical evidence most conclusively establishing the necessity or the step taken by Sir G. Prevost, yet they persevered in dragging the whole of an exclusively private Mitter before the public, and placing a wrong conclusion upon the pro ceedings. Not content with bringing the case before Baron Alderson, the society contrived to have Mr. Dixon examined by the visiting iustices of the county and a phy ;snarl who attended them. This latter gentleman rnsde an affidavit, anti the visiting justices signed a re port, and both the affidavit and the report speaking to the result of their official examination, were to the same ffoct as those of the medical man who signed the certifi , c.ites under which Mr. Dixon was placed in confinement." Now, what was " this ample medical evidence establishing the necessity for the step taken by Sir G. PREVOST ?" As far as appears from the report of the proceedings which took place before Baron AL DERSON, this " ample medical evidence" consisted of the certificate of one medical man, and on the authority of that one certificate Mr. DixoN was seized and incarcerated, the certificate of the second medical man only having been obtained after Mr. DIXON had been brought to the residence of the keeper of the asylum. This could not surely be considered ample medical evidence, more especially when we recollect the careless manner in which medical men are accus tom?d to grant these lunacy certificates, and the fact that within a month of the time of the commence ment of these proceedings by the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society, a highly respectable medical man had been convicted at the Old Bailey of having granted a medical certificate authorising the incar ceration, as a lunatic, of a person whom he had not seen for three months. The law says that two medical certificates are necessary to autho rize the incarceration of any person situated as was Mr. DIXON, and in this case only one medical certificate had been given prior to his arrest, and Ts p ER —Lord and L a dy J o h n R usse ll therefore, although Captain DIXON may b e of opinion arrived at the George Hotel here yesterday, per the that there was " ample medical evidence," the law de- Central Railway, from Glasgow, en route to Balmoral. tides otherwise, and considers that the certifi cate of h They spent the aft e r noon w i t h t h e i r young son in perm one medical man only in such a case is not "a m pl e me- Inc ts h on w g he h t rc e . h t s w L n hr azd hi s p u breuhrbews,egahritsic walk l y a i t o h n e e N o r r i t i h s dicel evidence."

THREE O'CLOCK. —The funds opened to-day rather firmly at the clminc prices of yesterday, but at hall past one o'clock the following notice from the Minister of Finances was stuck up in the hall of the Bourse, and it created an immediate fall in all sorts of public secu rities:— "NOTICE.—The Minister of the Finances determines; From the 16th of the present mouth, and till further orders, the payments by anticipati.tn on the certificates delivered in exchange of the shares of the Paris and Lyous Railway, as well as on the certificates of the loan, 'sill be admitted by the Treasury at a discount at the rate of four per cent. "GouncuAux. "Paris, the 15th September. 1848." The efftct of this was a depreciation in the Five per Cents. of no less than 2f., an d i n t h e Th ree per Cents., uf If 25e. This enormous fall is caused by the belief that the Minister of the Finances would never issue such a notice if he were not in great distress fur money. There was no other news at the Bourse. The Buns du Tresor are quoted at 21 discount. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TH/f LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE. SEPT. 15. Namur and Liege, PA—Orleans and Bordeaux, 1 1 ,i— Paris and Lyons, 4%. discharged as recovered ?" We cannot pass over this portion of Captain DIXON'S letter without protesting against the principle which he propounds, that the incarceration of one of the QUEEN'S subjects is to be considered as an exclu- sively private matter. It was not so regarded by the Barons who wrung from JOHN the charter of our freedom. "No freeman," says the Great Charter, "shall be taken or imprisoned but by judgment of his , peers, or by the law of the land ;" and our whole contention throughout this controversy has been that the law of the land ought to be such that no man should be imprisoned as a lunatic except upon the judgment of his peers, who, assembled as a jury, and presided over by the coroner, shall hear in open court the witnesses on the one side and the witnesses on the other, and a true verdict give ac cording to the evidence. If the incarceration of a man on a plea of alleged lunacy were to be regarded as an exclusively private affsir between himself and his relatives, what would be the position of rich old bachelor uncles who have lived too long to suit the views of expectant nephews and nieces ? If the prin ciple propounded by Capt. DIXON were once admitted, the liberty of no rich ohl lady or gentleman who happened to hare expectant heirs would be safe. The incarceration of an alleged lunatic by his relations is no more an exclusively private matter than was the poisoning of her brother by Mrs. MAY. No doubt she considered that an exclusively private matter, and was annoyed at " the vexatious interference on frivolous grounds, together with the prying and in quisitorial (to say nothing worse) method of obtain ing information on family matters," which charac terized the proceedings instituted against her, and which ended in her conviction and her execution. Now, whether a man be incarcerated or whether a man be poisoned, the Sovereign is equally deprived of the services of a subject, and as in the case of death from poisoning or from any other doubtful cause, the coroner holds his inquisition on the part of the Crown, to ascertain how the Sovereign became deprived of the services of his liegeman, so ought the coroner to hold a similar inquisition when the allega tion is that the mind is dead, and when the Sovereign is equally deprived of the services of his liegeman by his incarceration on the plea of lunacy. We are com pelled, from want of space, to postpone our remaining observations to another opportunity. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. e have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In the Thursday's sitting of the National Assembly the amendment proposed by M. MATIIIEU (de la Drome) to the Bth article of the preamble of the Con stitution, (an amendment which declared that it was the duty of the State to find labour for every one who sought for it), was, as we stated yesterday, withdrawn, and an amendment proposed by M. GLAIR BrzoN was substituted for it. The amend ment was to the following effect :—" The Re public ought to protect each citizen in his person, his family, his religion, his property, and his labour; it recognizes the right of all citizens to instruction, the right to existence by labour arid assistance." This amendment was opposed by M. DUFAURE, on a question of form, as it had been brought forward in an irregular manner, and on a division it was negatived by a majority of 409, the numbers being— for the amendment 187, against it 596. There are no lees than 105 candidates in the field for the three vacancies in the representation of Paris, and, as is too often the case, the man among them whose presence is most needed in the Assembly re fuses to go to the poll. M. HORACE SAY, the only man among the candidates who has any pretensions to the character of a legislator, has retired from the contest in disgust. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1818. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. Count Masser., who it will be remembered was, in the month of May last, dispatched in hot haste to London, as the bearer of the confidential communica tions of SOTOMATOR and NARVAEZ, anent the BULWER affair, and who was on his return appointed Captain-General of New Castile, has been dismissed from his office and banished from Madrid. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Ministerial crisis still continues. MM. BECKA.• RATH and VENIRE have both arrived, and had long audiences with the KING on the 1 I th. It is said that the KING makes the recognition of the armistice with Denmark the basis on which the Administration must be formed. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the 12th inst. the German Parlia ment resumed the discussion of the question as to the ratification of the armistice with Denmark : Herr Stedmann, in the name of the section of the joint Committees, which had sat on the matter of the armis tice, stated that a week had now elapsed since the consi • deration of this subject hsd been committed to them. They had devoted themselves with the greatest earnest ness to the deliberation, but had not yet been able to frame any motion which met with the sanction of an im • portant majority. The various members of the two committees had seemed disposed to separate into three parties : —l. Those who voted for an unconditional milli fication of the armistice. 2. Those who voted for an unconditional ratification. And 3. Those who voted for a total rejection of the armistice already concluded They were, in all, 21 in numh.r. Of these, 11 had drawn up a motion which confirmed the resolution passed by the Assembly on the sth ult., that is, one which proposed the rejection of the concluded ar mistice.—(Loud cheers from the Left.) The remaining 10 (who did not include the ex-Minister Hekacher, he having renounced his vete) had determined to ratify the armistice. He would, therefore, briefly enter into a de tail of their views. —(Great clamour on the Left—cries of " The majority's motion.") The Presideet said, if Herr Stedmann had not the ma jority's motion with him, he did not see how he could be obliged to communicate it.—(Cries from the Left " Then let him give no report at all.") , After continued and clamorous remonstrance on the part of the Left and Left Centre, Stedmann desisted altogether from further detail, and simply moved in the name of both committees than an extra public sitting be held on the morrow fur the purpose of deliberating on the two reports. It was itow announced that another Member had gone over to Wurm's side, i. e., that of the mitjarity.—(Cheers from the Left). This made the numbers 12 to 10. Auerswald (of the Right) urged the Assembly to as sure itself that it had adequate materials upon which to form a judgment before it entered upon this important discussion. Division on Stedrnann's motion was deferred. Fuchs, amid continual and noisy interruption, more especially from the Left, reported upon a petition to the effect that the National Assembly should resolve to dis countenance the use of foreign words in their debates, such as interpellation, insurrection, &c.—(Derisive laughter)—and adverted also to another petition pray ing for the adoption of German words of command in the German army.—(Clamorous derision.) The committee of petitions moved the order of the day on both these memorials.—Carried. Another petition was read from certain districts in Baden, praying that the Wurtemberg and Hessian troops, which had been quartered in those districts on the occasion of Hecker's revolutionary movements, should be forthwith recalled ; the maintenance of these was a grievous burden to the people, and if the National Assembly did not lend an ear to the petition, their only resource would be to call in the aid of France. The committee stated that these grievance% had already been set aside by the recal of the troops in question, and therefore moved the order of the day on the petition. —Carried. Blum, Schoder, Simon, and other members of the Left, now prayed for leave to move, as important," That ie consideration that the affairs in Schleswig-Holstein were daily assuming a more dangerous and alarming aspect, and in consideration that the confederate troops, contrary to the declaration of the ex Minister of War, Herr von Peucker, were retiring, by forced marches, the National Assembly resolve to send a deputation of fifteen members to the Administrator of the Empire, and pray him to hasten the appointment of his Ministers." Division as to whether Blum should be allowed to esta blish the urgency of this motion was doubtful. The votes were told—Noes 219, Ayes 208. Sehloffel now moved to the following effect:—ln con sideration that the armistice with Denmark has been ratified by Prussia. without finally con-tilting the Central Power —in consideration that the Central Power has thereby been treated with contempt, and that Prussia has thus made an attempt on the unity of Germany and on the national honour, the National AsseMbly resolves that the various diplomatic documents relating to the conclusion of the said armistice, which have been distri buted among the members of the National Assembly, shall be sent to Berlin also for the inspection of tne members of the Berlin Assembly. The Left alone voted that Schloffel be allowed to establish the urgency of the motion, and it therefore fell to the ground. After a long discussion about form and routine, the Assembly then resumed the discussion of the " funda mental rights." Sees. 15 and 16, after a first division, now stand as follows: astical act or solemnity."—Cat rit d. " l'he form of oath shall be one and the same fir all, and shall not stand in connexion with any religious con fession."—Carried. Ayes, 226; Noes, 185. Sec. 16. " The civil valieity of matrimony is dependent only on the performance of the civil act: the ecclesias tical spouse's can only take place after the performance of the civil act."—Carried. " Difference of religion is no civil impediment to ma trimony."—Moved by Mittermaier, and carried. "The registers shall be kept by the civil authorities." —Carried. Osterrath moved vote by ballot instead of telling, in case of the result of a division seemingdoubtful.—Motion not considered urgent. The two reports of the adverse sections of the two committees who sat on the armistice question were then read. 'The essential parts are as follows: Extract from the report of the majority in the joint committees:— " In consideration that the armistice concluded at Mal moe, on the 26th August (by virtue of the resolutions contained in its 7th and th articles, in its sth separate article, and in both the supplementary arti des), violates essential rights of independence which are guaranteed by the resolutions of the National Assembly to all races re presented therein; " In consideration that the negotiator dispatched by Prussia to Alain:toe essentially exceeded the limits of the authority committed to him by the Central Power, es pecially in reference to the duration of the armistice, to the separation of the Schleswig troops from those of Holstein, to the laws existing in the duchies of Schles- wig and Holstein, to the parties which were to form the Provisional Government for both duchies, and no less in deference to the condition of the duchy of Lsuenburg during the armistice; " In consideration, provisions furthermore, contained that in the h e execution conve n t convention several poli t ical of Malmoe is rendered impracticable by virtue of the unanimous the e l refusalatnh dev ofSchles w i g -h o l ste i n G enera l mtung) to accede to them, w appears pr ac t ica bl e and unhailnst Assemb l yi o (oers h. aesl the urt de sirable to pave the way to a truce, with a view to the speedy negotiation of a peace.

"To the Imperial Minister for Foreign AffArs Herr Heekscher." AUSTRIA. We find the following on the subject of the new Ministerial combinations in the Allgemeine Oestrei chische Zeitung " A report has been in circulation since the day before yesterday, that the Ministers Doblhoff and Schwarzer are about to quit the Ministry. We are able to state, on good authority, that M. Schwarzer onli has requested his dismission, and that Dohlhoff, notwith•tanding the exhausttun of his physical powers, resolved to consecrate himself for some time longer to the weal of the State. We learn that Schwarz .r expects that the Ministry will be materially strengthened by his resignation " The Wiener Zeitung of the 10th contains the offi• cial declaration of his MAJESTY'S sanction of the resolution passed by the Constitutional Assembly for the abolition of the vassalage system and the release of feudal tenures. The decree is signed by his MAJESTY, and countersigned by the Ministers WESSENBERO, DOEILHOFF, BACII, LATOUR, HORN ROSTL, and S.CHWARZER. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. It is rumoured that the Emperor of AUSTRIA, by a decree dated the 4th inst., has revoked his sentence of proscription and high treason against the Bann of Croatia. The effect this news will produce in Hun gary is most evident. The latest accounts from Ag►ram confirm this intelligence. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. COPENHAGEN, Sarr. 9.—The intelligence that the Frankfort Assembly had resolved, by a majority of 17 votes, not to let the German troops quit Schles wig-Holstein, has not excited any surprise here, nor have any preventive measures been adopted in the delivery of the German vessels, of which many belonging to Rostock and Hanover have already left. The army order of the 4th of September, ordering the dislocation and permit of the German troops, ha s been sent back ; but we do not entertain the slightest doubt that Prussia will be able to maintain the con vention of the armistice. According to the order of the 4th inst., Major- General Von KEOGH undertakes the general com mand, in North Jutland, the head-quarters at Viborg. The occupation of Alsen, during the period of the armistice, will be under a distinct command. The army corps in the field will be dissolved. The KING has gone by a war steamer to Sonder. burg to inspect the troops stationed there. The Russian fleet still continues in the neighbour. hood of Copenhagen, which, it is said, it intends to make its winter quarters. It is now anchored a t Ktoge ; this morning the Russian steamer Ottovash. nai arrived here from thence. The war steamer Waldiner, which arrived from Haaborg, announces that thiry-six of the liberated Danish officers have landed there. The Borsenhalle contains official notification of the Danish Minister of Marine, JAHRTMANN, dated the 4th of September, 1848, stating that after the ex change of the ratification of the armistice on the 26th, ordt rs were issued for the speedy delivering up of the enemy's ships, as well as the immediate cessation of the blockade. RENDSBURG. SEPT. 11 . — Yesterday evening Gen. WRANGEL, on his way through this city, paid a visit to the Provisional Government, and communicated the welcome intelligence that he entertaintd the certain hope that the Danish Government would consent to the rejection of the stipulation that our troops should quit Schleswig-Holstein during the armistice ; and turther, that article 7 of the armis tice would be so far altered as that the laws and re solutions passed by the Provisional Government should remain in force, and that the new Provisional Government would be at liberty to annul individual acts of the said Government. KIEL, SEPT. 11.--The following improbable com bination of the new Provisional Government is suoken of:—General Vox BoNIN, President; Count R EVEN TLOW, PRERTZ, and BESELEE, members of the former Provisional Government, and two mem bers to be proposed by the Duke of SCHLESWIG - HOLSTEIN. The Provincial A 5 ....a.z.v commenced its sittings to-nay at twelve o'clock. ALTONA, SEPT. 11.—General HALKETT arrived here with his staff on Sunday evening, and crossed the Elbe yesterday, with the Hanoverian troops, which are evccuting the country, and departing home from our harbour. ITALY. SICILY. After five days' bombardment, Messina has fallen into the hands of the Neapolitans. The English Admiral and the French Minister interfered to pre vent the continuance of hostilities, and for the pre sent the Neapolitan invaders have confined themselves to the occupation of Messina. PIEDMONT. Letters from the head-quarters of CHARLES ALBERT speak confidently of the resumption of hostilities at the conclusion of the armistice. PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.—The Penin. sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Jupiter, Capt. Meebam, with the usual Peninsular mail, in charge of Lieutenant James Inglis, Admiralty agent, arrived here this morning at nine o'clock. Her dates of sailing were—Gibraltar, 7th; Cadiz, Bth; Lisbon, 10th ; Oporto, 11th ; Vigo, 12th. She brings 47 passengers, 1,059 boxes of raisins, 42 boxes almonds, 38 bars wheat, and two boxes lemons. STATIONS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS. At Gibraltar, the Polyphemus. At Lisbon, brig Racer.

The Railway Share Market was a; trifle better, but not much was doing. There are several causes apparently acting upon the Bank of England note circulation, which again last week experienced a reduction. The augmentation of the deposits. and at the same time the reduction of the securities. tends to this result, and the former more par ticuly, :.1 .hough trade is undoubtedly very dull, and offers no facility for extensive discount operations. The precious metals accumulate, notaithstanding the steady imports of grain. Toe Government balance is larger, hnt there is no means of ascertaining a hether this is the result of revenue receipts, or of stock realizations. The following are the items in the balance-sheet fur the week to the 9th instant:— Notes issued 26,958,875 Increase 75.370 Rest Increase • 2,285 Public Deposits '5,460,328 Increase Other Deposits 8,771.338 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Other Secutities Decrease4B,l7s Notes •... 9,114,210 Increase Bullion Increase 156.820 Active circulation Decrease The bulk of the accounts from America were received after our article of yesterday was concluded, and we may add some items of commercial interest. A party writing at New York observes— " The political condition of Europe is anything but encouraging, and the prospect is, that it will be worse before it is better. At present, only the smaller powers are involved in a war, which of itself is not calculated to do much harm, but the danger of drawing others int., the difficulty is great, and so long as the question is un settled or undecided, there can be no favourable change in commercial mutters. Every one here is waiting the issue, out of all patience with its protraction, but un able to move safely so long as it remains open. In the event of a general war throughout Europe growing out of the present position of things, we may at once ahan don all hope of any improvement in prices for our great manufacturing staples, and make up our minds for a moderate demand for all of our exports except bread stuffs. Oa the other hand, it the clouds which darken the political horizon of the whole world are dispersed, and the bright blue sky of peace and goodwill among all nations appears and extends over them, we must rapidly recover from the prostrate position we have so long oc cup!ed, and immediately put into active operation all the elements of prosperity whieb exist so abundantly, particularly in thi: country. Our energies have been so long restrained that they are a ) strong and vigorous, and all we want is an opportunity to bring them into action." Accounts from Venezuela, via New Orleans, and dated Porto Cabello, to the beginning of August, state— "ln politics we are at this moment as unsettled as ever. Government lacks all means, whilst the Mara caibo flotilla seems to be on the increase, and has for several dais past been cruising in our neighbour hood, and keeping the authorities in alarm. Our gar rison has again been increased, whilst the Government squadron remains in complete inactivity for want of people and means, and there is no knowing where this will end. Until the news from Europe, and from your quarter, becomes a little more favourable, we cannot expect any amelioration. Money will not circulate more freely until some demand springs up for our pro duce, of which we see no immediate prospect. Business is in a very depressed condition, owing partly to the seasons, and partly, however, to the continued un settled state of the country and the scarcity of money. In produce there is nothing doing, and prices are but nominal. Fair green coffee, which is now becoming scarce, may be quoted at 85.50 a 86; hides, 85 a 85.25; indigo 64- a 61re.
