The accounts from Ireland are, as usual, of a very conflicting character, so that it is difficult to record with any degree of certainty the real state of facts, or to discover the object of the movement. There appears to be no doubt that considerable excitement prevails among the labouring classes, 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 position 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 SOVEUEIGN, 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, unier the head of " Our Harvest Prospects," and others of a similar description, 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 is 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. ' Military rewards are too often dispensed with a 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 diff ferent classes of a nation by a display of generosity towards those who have ever afforded an evidence of its_ posses s i oe , th an b y a m i ser l y di s t r ib ut i on o f t al e c' w urs, and a d es pi ca bl e reserva ti on o f p ra i se . H e moreover, that the prowess of an army Was better cultivated by a display of magnanimity towards its chieftains, and by the elevation of it s than b y the more deserving subordi nates,exreerdise of a s y s t ema ti c sever i ty and the de n i a l of assuredly, ready an d g ra d ua t e d promot i on. We cannot, most ssur e z Yi same impulsive prudence plume ourse l ves upon the and the same economical prodigality. There is the case of Lieutenant who has EDWI.IIDES. A more gallant youn g officer, onedisplayed more precocious abilit y i n diplomacy , to a ceaansblek warlike i xtent also, tactics, in administration, and, cann o t even in the lofty science of statesmanship be mentioned in the whole catalPoi gxe our brave and renowned soldiers. ra n 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 'her 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 amszement 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, canstitutute 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 MOOLR AJ. 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 Mooltan has been con quered by a simple Lieutenant of the Ist European Regiment of Ftsiliers may vie with any event which has illustrated the arms of England in Hindostan, from fIYDER Aar down to TIPPOO SAIB, from Seringapatam to Sobraon, from Lord Crave to Lord GOUGH, frein the triumphs of Sir ETRE Cuore in the Carnatic 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 isjlated Englishman, without so much as an escort of Sepoys to aid him in 1 - ds heroic undertaking. Froin 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 right thousand soldiera, but he inspired them with something of his own enthusiasm ; he set at defiance the Mooastaa with all his hordes, the DEWAN with all his guile, the Goonoo with all his fanaticisni ; he contrived to unite his Mahome dan foree3 with the troops of Colonel COURTLAND ; he collected together 3,000 additional men, natives of Affghanistan ; he joined that reinforcement to the auxiliary legions of Bhawulpore ; he rendered the leader of the Cashmere conspiracy, the famous EMAUM•OOD•DEEN, one of his most formid able supporters ; he held under his command the principal general of the Nawaub, by name FUTTEII MAHOMED • G HOR EE ; he advanced rapidly from Jells pore to Alleepore, driving back the bands of the Mooratee 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 Sadoosarn, 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 achievem e for this courage and this intelligence, for Navi 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 a Brevet Major, with the feeble glimmer of a prospec 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 mere show of magnanimity. 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 Dexoei 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 excel. lent institution, the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society. Captain Dixox says— " The ' Lunatics' Friend Society,' who had heard of Mr. Dixon's confinement, instituted an inquiry into the case, and although there was ample medical evidence. most conclusively establishing the necessity for the step taken by Sir G. Prevost, yet they persevered in dragging the whole of an exclusively private matter before the rublic, 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 justices of the county and a physician who attended them. This latter gentleman made an affidavit, and the visiting justices signed a re port, and both the affidavit and the report speaking to the result of their official examination, sere to the same t ffect as those of the medical man who signed the certifi cates 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 tomed 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 therefore, although Captain DIXON may be of opinion that there was " ample medical evidence," the law de cides otherwise, and considers that the certificate of one medical man only in such a case is not "ample me dical evidence." As a proof that the parties themselves were fully aware that they had not " ample medical evidence" for establishing the necessity for the step taken by Sir G. PREVOST, we would quote the (an swer we cannot call it, but) subterfuge by which the madhouse keeper attempted to evade making any re turn to the habeas, when on the 17th July he as sured Mr. BOLDFEN, the solicitor to the so ciety, that " Mr. DIXON was sufficiently recovered to be discharged, and that he was no longer his patient." The fact of this attempt at evasion hav ing been made threw a taint of suspicion over the whole case, and amply justified all the subsequent proceedings of the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society ; and here we repeat the question which we put on the 9th August, and to which Captain Dixox has not even attempt e d an answer,—" Was Mr. DIXON really recover e d, or w as h e not, at t h e t i me that Dr. Fox charged a s represented to Mr. BOLDEN that he had b een di s . such ? If he were so, why was he kept under surveillance r If he were not so, why did Dr. H• Fox repre se t n to Mr. BOLDEN that he had been • 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 corcuer, 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 of sir 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 lady or gentleman who happened to have 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 telling 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 sera, ices of his liegeman, so ought the coroner to bold a similar inquisition when the allega tion is that the mini is dead, and when the Sovereign is equally deprived of the services of his liegernan 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. -~--- %Ve have received the Paris papers of ye:terday, In the Thursday's sitting of the National Assembly the amendnient proposed by M. MATHIEU (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. GLAIS BIZoN was substitu'el for it. The amend ment was to the following effect The Re public ought to protect each citiz:n in his parson, his family, his religion, his property, and his labour; it recognizes the right of all citizens to instruction, the right to existence by labour and 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— fur the amendment 187, against it 596. There are no leis than 105 candidates in the field for the three vacancies in the representation of Park, and, as is too often the case, the man among them whose presance is most needed in the Assembly re fuses to go to the poll. At floitacn SAT, the only man among the candidates who has any pretensions to the character of a legislator, has retired from the contest in disgust. The National has the following on the Sicilian and the A ustro- Italian questions : " 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 811, 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. liTe learn, at the same time, that the French Minister at Naples has wished the Neapolitan Government to limit itselt to the occupation of Messina, so that the rest of Sicily (Palermo, for ex ample) will Le sheltered from all attack. On the other hand, Admiral Parker. on the propogition of .A.thotrai Baudin, addressed a similar invitation tothe 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 is 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 and Charles Albert stipulates (Art. 4) that the Sardinian troops will evacuate Venice,' but it does not rpeek 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 statu quo. It results that nothing should he 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 the sitting of the Assembly yesterday the dis cussion on'the Bth article of the preamble was closed, and the clause itself passed after the rejection of a Communist amendment, which was proposed by M. PIERRE LEROUX. The election of Prince Louis NAPOLEON for Paris is considered certain, as is that of Count MOLE for Bordeaux. BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 15. THREE O'CLCCIL—The funds opened to-day rather firmly at the closing prices of yesterday, but at half. 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 month, and till further orders, the payments by anticipation on the certificates delivered in exchange of the shares of the Paris and Lyons Railway, as well as on the certificates of the loan, will 13~ admitted by the Treasury at a discount at the rate of four per cent. " GOUDCHAUX. "Paris, the 15th September, 1848." The effect of this was a depreciatio n i n t h e Five per Cents. of no less than 2r., and in the Three per Cents. , of If. 25e. This enormous fall is ca use d b y t h e belief that the Minister of the Finances would never issue such a notice if he were not in great distress for money, There was no other news at the BoursA. The Bons du Tresor are quoted at 21 discount. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, SEPT. 15. Namur and Liege, VA —Orleans and Bordeaux, Paris and Lyons, 4%. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. Count 3liaAsoL, 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 SOTOMAYOR 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. THE PREMIER.—Lord and L ady John Russell arrived at the George Hotel here yesterday, per the Central Railway, from Glasgow, en route to Balmoral. They spent the afternoon with their young son in peram bulating the town and suburbs, particularly the North Inch, where his Lordship renewed his walk alone. His Lordship seemed to be recognised by few, but answered the salutations of such as did so politely. They leave this morning for the north.—Perth Courier of Thursday. Yesterday the Lord Mayor entertained a large party at dinner, including several of the Masters of the City Companies and influential gentlemen connected with the commerce of the City of London, and particu larly of the wine trade. Covers were laid in the Long Parlour for 62, and amongst the many delicacies pro vided was a splendid sturgeon, caught in the river Thames, and presented to his Lordship. Amongst the company were Aldermen Farebrother, Humphrey, M,p,, Musgrove, Finnis, the Master of the Skinners' Company, Merchant Tailors', Vintners', Cloth workers', Saddler?, Coopers', Weavers', Woolman and Glovers', J.

NAILMASTERS' MEETING.—On Wednesday week a meeting of the nailmasters of this district was held at the Hotel, to consider the propriety of withdrawing the proposed notice of reduction in the price of wages, when it was fully determined to accede to the wishes of the nailors, to give the prices of 1838, which are equivalent to those given before the notice was issued. We are glad to hear of this decision, as no class of men work harder or fare worse ;ban the nailmakers of this locality. —Telt Towns' Messenger. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Ministerial crisis still continues. MM. B ECRA• RATH and VENIRE hare both arrived, and had long audiences with the lima on the I Ith. It is said that th. 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 thc armis tice, stated that a week had now elapsal since the consi deration of this subject had 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 sancti_n of in im portant majority. The various members of the two committees had seemed disposed to separate into three parties : —l. Thos‘, who voted for an unconditional rati • 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 numbr. Of these, 11 bad drawn up a motion which confirmed the re,olution 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 Ilek.-eLer, be having rcnounc:'d his irate) had determined to ratify the armistice. He would, therefore, briefly enter into a de tail of their views. —(Great clamour on the Le fe—cries of " The majority's motion.") The President said, if Herr Stedmann had not the ma joriv'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 now announced that another Member had gone over to Wurm's side, e., that of the majority.—(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 Stedmann'a motion was deferred. Fuchs, amid continual and noisy interruption, more eep cialit from the Left, reported upon a petition to the effect that the National Assembly should resolve to dis couutenanee the use of foreign words in their debates, such as interpellation, insurrection, &e.—(Derisive laughter) —and adverted also to another petition pray ing for the adoption of German worth of comm And in the German array.—(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, prayit:g that the Wurternte rg and Hessian troops, which had been qaartert d in those districts on the occasion of Ilecker'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 grievances lied already been set aside by the reed of the troops in queition, and therefore moved the meter of the day on the petition. —Carried. 131 um, Schoder, Simon, and other members of the Left, now prayed for leave to move, as important, " That in consideration that the affairs in Sehlesee ig-Holstein were daily assuming a more dangerous and alarming aspect, and in consideration that the confederate troops, cenrrary to the declaration of the ex-Mini,ter*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. Schloffel now moved to the following effect:—ln con sideration that the armistice with Denmark has been ratified by Prussia, without finally consulting the Central Power—in consideration that the Central Power has thereby bee❑ 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 intspewion of the 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." Secs. 15 and 16, after a first division, now stand as follows: Sec. 15. •• No one shall be compelled to an ecclesi astical act or solemnity."—Carried. •• f'he form of oath shall be one and the same for all, and shall not stand in connexion with any religious con ft ssion."—Carried. Ayes, 226; Noes, 185. Sec. 16. " The civil validity of matrimony is dependent only on the performance of the civil act: the ecclesias tical spousals 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 seeming doubtful.—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 Mid moe, on the 26th August (by virtue of the resolutions contained in its 7th and 9th articles, in its sth separate article, and in both the supplementary ambles), 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 Malsnoe 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 Lauenburg during the armistice; " In consideration, furthermore, that the execution of several political provisions contained in the convention of Malrnoe is rendered impracticable by virtue of the unanimous refusal of the Schleswig-Holstein General Assembly (Landes-versammtung) to accede to them, hilst on the other hand it appears practicable and de sirable to pave the way to a truce, with a view to the speedy negotiation of a pe ace . In consideration of all this the National Assembly resolves:— " 1 That the armistice of Malmoe of the 26th August is not confirmed by the National Assembly. "2. That the Imperial Ministry so called upon to take the measures necessary to a continuation of war, provided that the Danish Government should not prove its readiness to enter immediately upon negotiations of pence with the Central Power of the German Federal State.

We find the following on the subject of the new Ministerial combinations in the Allaemeine Oestrei chische Zeitung : rep,rt bas been in circulation since the day before yesterday, that the Ministers Doblhoff and Schwarz 'r are about to quit the Ministry. We are able to state, on good authority, that M. Schwarzer only has reqursted his dismission, and that Doblhoff, notwithstanding the exhaustion of his physical powers, resolved to consecrate himself for some time longer to the weal of the State. We learn that Schwarzor expects that the Ministry will be materially strengthened by his resignation " The Wiener Zeitung of the 10th contains the cffi 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 WESSENBERG, DOBLLTOFF, BACH, LATOUR, HORN BOSTL, and SCHWARZER. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. It is rumoured that the Emperor of AUSTMA, by a decree dated the 4th inst., has revoked his sentence cf 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 Agram confirm this intelligence. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 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 cent back ; but we do not entertain the slightest doubt that Prussia will be able to maintain the can vention of the armistice. According to the order of the 4th inst., Major- General VON Kaoau 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 t.) inspect the troops stationed there. The Russian fli.et still continues in the neighbour. hood of Copenhagen, which, it is said, it intends to make its winter quarters. It is now anchored at Kloge ; this morning the Russian steamer Ottovesh nei 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, orders were issued for the speedy delivering up of the enemy's ships, as well as the immediate cessation of the blockade. RENDSBUEG. SEPT. . — Yesterday evening Gen. WRANGEL, on his way through this city, paid a visit to the Provisional Government, and communicated the welcome intelligence that he entertained 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 further, 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 spoken of:—General VON BoNIN, President; Count REVENTLOW, PEERTZ, and BESELEE, members of the former Provisional Government, and two mem bers to be proposed by the Duke of SCHLESWIG. HOLSTEIN. The Provincial Assembly commenced its sittings to-day at twelve o'clock. ALTONA, SEPT.

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.

The Penin• sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Jupiter, Capt.

INCLOSTIRE AND IMPROVEMENT OF COMMONS.—An Act of the last session (11th and 12th Victoria, chap. 99) came into force on the 4th inst., to further extend the provisions of the Acts for the inclosure and improve ! meet of commons. It is to be taken to be part of the 9th and 10th Victoria, chap. 70, and the 10th and 11th Victoria, chap. 111, relating to the inclosuro and im provement of commons. Extended powers are given to the Inclosure Commissioners by this Act. It is provided that persons not interested in lands to be inclosed may apply to the Commissioners to submit such lands to the operation of inclosure. Maps of old inclosed lands are now dispensed with, and there is a provision to the effect that allotments of not less than 51 value may be com• pensated in money. Expenses of maintaining private roads, &c., may be raised by a rate on the owners. Money raised for expenses is directed to be paid to the Commissioners. By the 12th section it is enacted th a t, on the neglect of the owner of an allotment to fence, the owner of any other allotment prejudiced by his n. glect may obtain possession, and do the necessary work, and obtain judgmont in a county court provided the amount does not exceed 201. -- fIIR IRON TRADE OP SOUTH STAFFORDSHIEE..--. BIRMINGHAM. FRIDAY.—In consequence of what was understood to be the improved state of the iron trade in these districts, the men have demanded an advai.ce o f wages. Tne iron masters have had two meelin,gs upon the subject—one at the Union Hotel, in this towe l , and another at the Hotel, Dudley. It is stated that the masters have succeeded in convincing the men that the iron tra ,e is nut in so, prosperous a cooditio n us it has been represented to be, :sad that an tadv.snee of wages at the present moment would be inju - ious to all parties. A strike threatened has therefore been abanitoned. There is, however, a printed notice published by the coal miners that they will require an advance (If 6.1 . per day from the 16:h inst. The attempt made to arrange the rate of wages accor,!ing to the fluctuating price of iron appears to have failed altogether.

MONEY k:1,1 COMMEt?Cf At CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.. The Cot' on Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull, owing to the reported abundant crops, and prices ap peered to be drooping. Sales of the a Eck 28,820 bales. The Railway Share Market was a trifle better, but not much was dui:T. There are several causes apparenl,ly 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, although trade is undoubtedly very dull, and o&rs no facility for extensive discount operations. The precious metals accumulate, notwithstanding the steady imports of grain. The Government balance is larger, but there is no means of ascertaining vrhether this is the result of revenue receipts, or of stock realizatiens. The following are the items in the balance-sheet for the week to the 9th instant: Notes issued 26,958,875 Increase 75,370 Rest Increase Public Deposits 5,460,328 Increase Other Deposits 8,771,338 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Other Securities Decrease Not es ..... 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 any thing 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 into the difficulty is great, and so long as the question is un settled or undecided, there can be no favourable - change in commercial matters. Every one here is waiting the is.ne, 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 ot the present position of things, we may at once aban don ell hope ot any improvement in prices for our great manufac'uring staples, and make up our minds fur a moderato demand for all of our exports except bread stuffs. Oa the other hand, if the c!oodl which darken the political horizon of the whole world ate 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 cc cup'ed. and immediately put into active operation all the elements of prosperity whieh exist so abundantly, particularly in this country. Our energies have been so long restrained that they are so strong and vigorous, and all we want is an opportunity to bring them into action." Accounts prom Venezuela, via New Orleans, and dated Porte Cabello, to the beginning of August, state— "ln politica 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 fur several days 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 s ee no i mme di ate prospect. Bus i ness inis a very depressed condition, awing 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 6k a 6irs. Cotton without any purchasers." There is a firmer market to-day fur the Public Secu rities, although without any increase of business. Con sols have been 85k to 86k for Transfer, and 86k # for Ac count. Exchequer• bills of June have been quoted 235. to 265. premium. The New Three per Cents. Reduced An nuities are 85k. The brilliancy of the weather has given a better tone to the market, which would probably advance more decidedly were the Italian question arranged. The Foreign Bonds are very qeiet.

The Finance Minister, M. Mon, promises great things, but there is very little con fidence in him. Railway Shares have been very heavy again, but there is not quite such a pressure of sales.
