The telegraphic dispatch which tells us of the secret departure from Ro:ne of the Sovereign PONTIFF is the best justification that could possibly have been afforded to General CAVAIGNAC'S Government. It proves that the fears entertained as to the perils by M bleb Pio No no was surrounded, were far indeed, from being without foundation. When we are in formed that the POPE hastened from the Quirinal so soon after its bombardment, and proceeded to the sea port of Gaeta, to take shelter in one of the French vesels dispatched to his assistance, there can no longer he any doubt as to the position in which th a t ilustrious but unfortunate Prince stood in reference to the rabble of Roman murderers. Never was any race so degraded in the eyes of the whole world as the people of the Papal States are at this moment, and especially the infamous population ,:f the Eternal City. Acts of such cold-blooded atrocity as those which have polluted the streets of Rome have never been witnessed even in the sacred precincts of Mecca, or in the holy purlieus of Benares. S) much brutality, ingratitude, callousness, and cowardice have never been displayed with more atrocious unanimity in the most infamous of all the Rebellions recor led in the pages of History. It was with profound r ason that the Na tional Assembly of the French Republic ex pressed its abhorrence of the crimes and the turpitude which have just emanated from Italian So. ciali' m. It was with reason that the representatives of France, on hearing that the Roman Deputies con tinued their sitting impassable to the events- occurring around them, and without mentioning the assassination of the Chief Minister of the Government, although that unfortunate statesman had been murdered most bar barously on the threshold of the very building in - which they were assembled—it was with reason that the reFresentatives of France greeted the an nouncement of that cowardly fact with groans of hor ror and indi gnat i on. The Roman Deputies have by this one proceedin g stamped their names for ever and ever with infamy. And not only the Dep u ti es , b u t t h e whole m ass o f the population, with a f ew b r illi ant ex ceptions. S av i ng by afveewr rniests and about a h un d re d Swiss soldie rs , t h e Sovereign was d eserted by every one in the houeigronf dangperii. had the Not a amongst the whole ra bbl e of courtiers courage to stand forward in defence ot. culpability was his exce ss i ve gentlenesse whos e so l e whose only blunder was his ever havi ng conceivedndafr moment that the Roman mob wms c a p a bl e of regeneorne tion. It has been well said by the Count )3; AIONTALEMBEET that the whole of this most excel lent and most innocent man's political career might be summed up in the two words amnesty and re form. And yet Poo NONO, with the exception of the little domestic group already mentioned, was entirely abandoned when the murderers of Rossi came with eann:m and muskets to storm the palace of their INfoxaacu, their Father, and their Religious Chieftain. The Roman Legion, the infantry of the line, even the dastardly members of the Civic Guard were not asha - ned to join issue with the band of assassins and to sit down with colours flying and bands playing lively tunes before the walls of the Quirinal, to discharge their artillery for three hours against a building defended by a handful of fai hful soldiers, and containing merely a few ecclesiastics and a vene rable on:l noble-hearted SOVEREIGN. As if to cap the climax of these atrocities, the assailants cheered up their hearts during the fighting by singing a couplet from an opera, by which they called uFen GOD to bless the hand of a murderer : " Benedetto guella mana Che it tiranno pugnalo It is well to know that instead of finding sympathy beyond the limits of their own degraded crew, the rut-Oan , if Borne have only elicited the execrations of the Europeans. Besides the 3,500 French soldiers atcompanied by M. DE.CORCELLES, there is the British THE SUN, LONDON', SATURDA EVENING, DECEMBER 2, 1848 squadron in the Italian seas, prepared, in case of ex treme emergency, to offer aid to the great man who has been rendered the victim of Roman democracy. Happily, however, it would seem that the prompt help afforded by General CAVAIGNAC will prevent the necessity of any further exertion for the protec tion of the PONTIFF. According to the French Consul at Civita Vecchia, Pio NoNo has already departed from his capital, and is now in all likelihood on his way to receive the homage and hospitality of the French Republic. A more eloquent manifesto in favour of the cause of Moderation could not have been issued by General CAVAIGNAC. It has an eloquence, too, which re quires no interpreter—the eloquence of the universal language—the language of practical magnanimity. And in the event of M. DB LAMARTINE declaring himself explicitly for the election of CAVAIGNAC as President, it would secure at once the discomfiture of Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON. As yet the Moderate Republicans should bear in recollection that LAMAR TINE stands at the head of the list of candidates. Nor do we think that that great patriot will on any account reject the suffrages of his fellow-citizens. He has himself told us that he has neither the atnbi tion to seek, nor the:cowardice to decline, the votes of the electors. His name is his manifesto. Let France remember that sentence. And let every Frenchman, moreover, when dropping his vote into the urn, call to mind that sublime declaration of M. GARNIER PAGES If any one shall dare to proceed to the Tuileries, go myself on that day to the Hotel de Ville !" Some time must necessarily elapse before any alterations can be made in the working of the Irish Poor-law—before the area of taxation can be ma terially increased or diminished. A close and search ing investigation must take place before the intro duction of any measure on the subject, and it may reasonably be calculated that six months at least must pass away before the_ Legislature can pronounce its fiat upon any of the various plans that may be submitted for its consideration. No relief, therefore , can be hoped for during the present emergency from any anticipated changes in the law. The difficulties must be encountered with the present materials. It would be well if the resident gentry of Ireland became fullyi convinced of this fact, and that they applied themselves zealously and energetically to develop the resources of their country, and to convert them to the most profitable purposes. As we have repeatedly pointed out, the primary want of Ireland is full and profitable employment for her labouring population. She possesses an inexhaustible mine of wealth in the thews and sinews of her hardy chil dren ; but, unhappily, that mine is unwrought, and although no nation in the world has greater capabili ties, there is, perhaps, no other in which these capabilities are so generously neglected. Some blighting curse appears to hang over the soil that paralyzes the efforts of the inhabitants. In other lands they will become prosperous and happy, will exhibit the most persevering industry and resolute determination ; but on their native shores they remain apathetic and indifferent while others step in and seize the prizes which they will not extend their hands to pick up. There is no respect in which this want of energy is more deplorably conspicuous than in the Irish fisheries, which, if carried on judiciously and efficiently, would afford ample remuneration as well to the parties who embarked their capital in the speculation as to those actually engaged therein. There was much truth in the old proverb that " Amsterdam was built upon herrings' bones"-- it was to the large profits realised by the Dutch fisheries that the subsequent wealth and commercial greatness of Holland might in a great degree be as cribed. It is stated that in the early part of the 17th century no less than 3,000 vessels, manned by 50,000 seamen, were employed in the fisheries ; and it was on the coasts of the British islands that they obtained the greatest success, by which they were enabled to export no less than 30,000 tons of salt fish. The same facilities still exist, if they were turned to any beneficial purposes, but, alas I they are slighted and disregarded. The bays and harbours by which the coast of Ireland is indented—the ocean by which it is surrounded— still teem with fish of the finest description. The supply is as abundant as when millions of pounds sterling were realised by Dutch fishermen; but the means and appliances are wanting which they had at their disposal, and in the mi Idle of the 19:h century the Irish fishermen are in every respect inferior to, and have none of the advantages possessed by, the Dutch more than two hundred years ago. It is in the very districts where the dis tress and suffering exists to the greatest extent that the fisheries could be made most profitable, if a determined and combined effort were made for the purpose. On the western coasts of Ireland the com plaints are the most incessant. Landlords are said to be nearly reduced to the condition of paupers. The rents obtained from even the best circumstanced estates are little more than sufficient to meet the charges thereon for the maintenance of the destitute inhabitants. The workhouses are crowded to suffo cation—thousands and tens of thousands of able bodied men demand out-door relief, an I it cannot be withheld; for if refused they must perish of starva'ion in a Christian land. And yet in the immediate vicinity of these workhouses there is a sea coast' xtending along many miles, where a cheap and wholesome food might be obtained almost sufficient to maintain these countless multitudes : and the stores sent by PROVIDENCE for their supply are disregarded, while a universal outcry is maintained respecting their umhappy position, and unfortunately with too much truth to sustain it. Surely something should he done, and that speedily, to correct this anomaly- Some benevolent members of the Society of Friend: have taken the initiative, their keen and intelligent minds readily perceive the vast importance of the movement, and how much may be effected, if an impulse is given that will be zealously followed up. The national gratitude is due to those humane individuals for their praiseworthy efforts, and in no manner Can it be better testified than by following up their experi ment, and obtaining the great results which no iso lated exertions, however meritorious, can obtain, Curing stations should be provided in every district, so that a short journey would he sufficient to send the fish to a place where it might be saved and rendered really profitable. As far as practicable markets should be provided, where the pecuniary value of the fish could be obtained. It is not merely the trouble or the risk of capturing the fish that renders the Irish peasant apathetic and careless about employing himself in the fisheries ; his want of proper boats nets, and other fishing implements, undoubtedly, have a very material effect; but the difficulty of disposing of the produce of his toil also produces very injurious results. If the take should be a large one it is suf fered togo to waste, except the small quantity turned to immediate use and consumed by his family and neighbours. There are no means of drying and saving it, and thus making it available for future stores there are no purchasers to pay a fair value. Hawkers, occasionally, visit the fish ing stations, and carry off a small quantity Precariousf favourable asw e into the interior in panniers, over the rugged moun tain roads, on which no car could travel : but it is a and hav uncertainea suggested, circumstances the chance,d demand m n a n n d d is under r e thery Ilimited. t c o d s t . ve Where tnihl miles twel ggestel, stations were established every ten or along the western and coast,sou p th ai e a rn dewnin ready more value of the fish would an imme l, t or ex . changed for other be necessary articles, most benefi baend superior sftimulus would be applied that would be productaivee i cial results. A better clas s o f voess the description of nets might in timees Something might even be i mmediately dene procur e d. should in time see the Irish fish er i es flourishing, dan a w n e d profits realized by Irishmen equal to those formerly obtained by foreigners on her coasts. Some disaP - pointments may occur; the bad habit s that sprung up through centuries of neglect and mismanagement cannot be eradicated in a moment. But we are thoroughly convinced that a constant and unremit ting attention to the subject will eventually be crowned with entire and well-deserved success.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The following telegraphic dispatch was received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs on Thursday evening, and was read to the Assembly yesterday by General CAVAIGNAC MAR3EILLE3, NOY. 28. CIVITA VECCHIA, Nov. 26, THREE P.M..--The Consul of France to the Miniater of Foreign Affairs:— The Pope departed secretly on the 24th, at five o'clock in the afternoon. Rome ia calm and indifferent. A vote of confidence has been passed in favour of the Ministry. The Pope is on his way to France. The Tenare has gone to Gaeta to take him on board." The Journal des Debats of Wednesday was some• what premature in announcing the success of the two Bonapartist candidates, the Prince DE LA MOSKOWA and General PLAT, in the departments of the Moselle and Yonne. In the Moselle the Bonapartist has been defeated by the moderate Republic:an, the numbers at the conclusion of the scrutiny being— For Captain ROLAND 17,951 For the Prince of MOSKOWA 11,371 while in Yonne, the Legitimist was at the head of the poll by a large majority ; the numbers being : M. RANDOT D'AVALON (Legitimist) 7,344 JEROME BONAPARTE 5,729 General FIAT 4,456 M. UZANNE.... .. .. ... It appears that the report of the return of M. NA POLEON BERTRAND is also premature, but it is thought that he will carry the election. _ _ M. D LAMARTINE has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Debats:— " Paris, Nov. 30, 1848. " Sir,—As it is impossible to reply to all the letters in which I am asked it I accept the candidature for the Presidency of the Republic, will you permit me to botvow your journal, in order to carry my reply to the country? Here it is. Ido not solicit votes, and do not desire them; but the Republic may yet have difficulties and dangers to traverse. There is as great a difference between the hardihood of soliciting, and the weakness of refusing, as there is between ambition and devotion. This devotion commands me not to withdraw my name from the free choice of the country. I accept,,then, the votes which may be given to me. - 4 " LAMARTINE, Representative of the People. We read in the Mcraiteur— " The Liberte inquires if it be true that the French Government sent a courier to London at the end of the sitting of Saturday, for the purpose of ,excusing itself to the English Cabinet for having, without consulting it, sent troops to Civita Vecchia, and that it grounded such a step on electoral motives. Such questions merit only the most profound disdain." The National Assembly yesterday proceeded to the organization of the bureaux for the succeeding month. The Bonapartists started candidates in every instance. They were all unsuccessful, and the sup porters of General CAVAIGNAC were returned by large majorities. The 18th aniversary of the Polish revolution was celebrated in Paris on Thursday by a religious service at the Church of St. Roth. In the evening there was a meeting held, which was presided over by Prince CZAKTORISKY. The principal speaker was MIEROS LAWSKT, who has just returned from Posen, and thus the hero of the last Polish revolution described that general reactionary conspiracy of the Absolutists throughout Europe, of the existence of which we have so frequently warned our readers. " We have just returned from the enemy's camp," said MIBROSLAWSKT, and we declare to you that they all understand each other. Reaction has but one hand and one axe. Already it is making use of the arms of our misled brethren. It is for you to choose. Will you have as your van guard five hundred thousand soldiers like those of SOBIESKI or KOSCIUSKO or will you h ave among your enem i es fi ve hundred thousand grape shot firers more like those of NICHOLAS, of WEAN..

" ALFRED PRINCE WINDIsCHGRATZ, Field-Marshal. "Head-quarters, Schenbrunn." The Breslau Gazette of the 26th ult., publishes a letter from Vienna of the 24th, which says— " It is belieyee that the Archduke John will give in his resignation of the office of Vicar of the Empire, be cause the Archduke wishes to give up to Prussia the direction of Gentian aff.iirs. It is said that the Austrian deputies have been recalled from Frankfurt. Austria de sires that all her states together (including those which are hereditary) should form a part of Germany; but, by continuing to pursue her own separate policy, she vir tually refuses to carry out this incorporation. It is as serted that the Emperor told Windischgratz that he would bestow upon him whatever he would be pleased to ask. Windischgratz replied that all he asked was that the Emperor would return to Vienna. The city of 01- denburgh is occupied by our troops, which greatly faci litates the junction of the corps of Dahlen and the grand army. At present they are operating against Presburg. Raab, which, in 1809, held in check, with 800 men, the French for a apace of nino days, will probably be block aded. The main body of the army will be employed against Pesti]. In Hungary martial law has been pro claimed: it is said that it will be applied to General Moga. The corps of General Simonich is in the envi rons of Presburg. General Schlik will soon arrive there." The New Gazette of the Rhine, of Nov. 29, gives under date of Frankfort, Nov. 27, the following : " Windischgratz has been shot. Thu news is founded on good authority. I learned it from a deputy who has arrived at the Ministry of Justice : :you may give it currency as true." PRUSSIA. The following is the report of the proceedings at the sitting of the Assembly at Brandenburg, on the 27th : The galleries were all crowded long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the proceedings ; but the loge of the diplomatists was more thinly occu pied. From half-past ten till eleven the deputies con tinued to arrive. M. Hansemann was able to attend the present sitting, and, on his entrance, was warmly greeted by the deputies collected in groups on the floor. The Ministers did not arrive till a quarter past eleven. Count Brandenburg was one of the first in his place. The chair was not taken till a quarter to twelve, and the interval was filled up by a lively conversation in every part of the Hall, especially between the several Minis ters and their supporters. M. Von Brunneck having taken his seat, opened the proceedings by proposing that the minutes of the pre vious sitting should be read ; he also proposed that the minutes of the last sitting in Berlin, on the 9th instant, should be read and confirmed. This gave rise to a short discussion, in which MM. Baunastark and Reichensperger opposed the reading of the protocol of the 9th, on the ground that the Chamber (to all appearaece) was in the same condi tion of incapacity to pass a legal vote as it was yester day. It was, therefore, resolved to pass at once to the minutes of yesterday, leaving those of the 9th to be dealt with hereafter; the former were then read and con firmed. The President then proposed that they should either call over the names or suspend the proceedings for an hour, to hold a conference with the Ministry, as to whe ther it would in the present sitting state the next step it was prepared to take. As a m Ater of form the proposition of an adjourn ment had the precedence; it was put and agreed to, and at twelve o'clock the sitting was suspended till one. It was half past one o'clock before the proceedings were resumed. The President then stated it was necessary to call over the names of the deputies formally to establish the fact that there was not a legal majority present. The appel nominal was then gone through in the usual manner; none of the Ministers were present during this part of the proceedings. The result of the call was a Chamber of 159 deputies—still far from being the neces sary 203. There was a tendency in one or two deputies to renew the protest of the previous day against the right of the Crown to remove the sittings from Berlin, and the de sultory discussion upon it; but it was checked by the general sense of the Chamber, and an appeal from M. Bremer, who exhorted them to be united now, even though they might have their individual scruples. The President then said he had communicated to the Ministers the result of the call of the Chamber; he knew not whether the Government word I make the same pro position it did the day before—(Laughter)—but this he the case, he thought they ought again to adjourn. The Ministers at this moment entered the Hall. Count Brandenburg at their head. They were saved the trouble of making the proposition alluded to by the Pre • aids nt, by M. Simons, an advocate of the Court of Cessation at Berlin for the Rhenish Provinces, who ascended the tribune, and moved the adjournment of tke Chamber sill the following day, at 11. They were bound to give their colleagues full opportunity to come and take their :-eat, with them; it was probable that the following day might bring the Assembly an increase of numbers. Should they then still flnd themselves unable to prece( d with their discussions, another adjournment might be moved till Thursday; on that day he should propose that the Ministry formally summon those who did not on that day present themselves. On ;Thursday he would more fully develop the motion which he to day only announced. Immediately M. Simon s had concluded, Count Bran denburg rose in his place, and stated that the motion was exactly conformable with the intentions of the Government, which were to hasten as much as possible the deliberations of the Assembly on the Constitution, that it might be settled in concert with the Crown. If, therefore, the Chamber should determine to give a day or two longer to the endeavour to form its number, he should not oppose it. The statement was received with great applause.

Tt,e committee, he said, appointed to -arrange the funeral ceremony in memory of Rob?rt Wpm had had to struggle with great diversity of opi nioni Nevertheless, in bringing the matter thus unex pectedly bef o r e th e H ouse, he was sure he might declare that party feeling had in tie case been at the bottom of this inability to agree. He fully believed that his colleagues, like himself, were solely actuated by a wish to arrange for the mourn'ul right in the spirit of the As sembly's resolution, according to which the lamentable and premattire death of a member, and,, indeed, his un• lawful execution should be the basis of a ceremony in every way worthy of the occasion. But the committee having resolved itself into a majority and minority, he felt obliged to ask the Assembly whether the committee was authorised in at once making the necessary arrange ments according to thu decisions of its Majority, or whether it must lay a statement of its plan before the House, Levercus called the attention of Members to two se• parate statements in the lot lt journals: The Oiler-Post Ampis Zeiiiinj reported that Herr ttucho, th Member for Frankfort, had formally comMunidated to the Frankfort Constituent Assembly the intended cele bration of a funeral 'rite in honour of Robert Blum, and had moved that .that Assembly attend the same; a Motion that was utianitiously Carried. The thki tither hand;, stated th at H err Jucho had, in the name of the I mperial tlasetahly, in vited the Frankfort Assembly to attend. Various unions and deputation from a great number of places had sig nified a desire to be present; but it was not the inten tioh.of the Imperial Assectibiy to ordain a publie com memoration of Blum's death.—(Clamour on the left.) It was to be a rite in Which the Members of the Assembly should formally be understood to engage.—(lncreased clitniour, and cries of " Enough.") It was not the in tension of the Assembly to give occasion to any popular enough.) H e wou l d, how demonstration.--(Ettough, O'er, beg tis ask the committee whether Herr 'inch° had been authorised Co invite the local authorities to this full eral n itof - iidn • 4-- o Baia ne must first contradict a ituenletit rt scie in a public paper, to the effect that he had called him self a member of the committee in question, and had invited attendance in the name of the committee. The faota were these, The committee bad met for consul tation on Friday evening last, and Herr Itiesser, the presiding member, had invited him to attend its deli berations, as being a Frankfort citizen, who might be able to give him a welcome hint or two. It was that evening resolved that a formal invitation to the local au thorities and other parties was not advisable, but that a direct communication of the time, &c , of the ceremony should be made to them. He (Jucho) had done no more than make a preliminary communication ; he therefore, left it to the last speaker to draw his own conclusions as to the truth of current reports. The Left declared, as a body, that they abstained from all p ar ti c i pat i on i n the debate. Soiron then put the question thus:—Shall the Com mittee arrange for the funeral ceremony without further co-operation on the part of the National Assembly ? (Negatived—Noes, 241 ; Ayes, 156.) Octet rath, L assaulz, Beseler , Von Linde, Beda Weber, and others, moved that the House pass to the order of the day on all motions for a funeral solemnity in hottlur of Robert Blum, assigning as a reason for this-1. That no particular ceremony of the kind had ever been or- ~''--- d'-red by the National Assembly on the occasion of the death of a Member. 2. That such an order in the pre sent case Would imply an approval of the deceased Member's contfuet in Vienna. 3. That the applicatio❑ of martial law to an offence committed by a Member afforded no definite reason for such a solemnity. 4. That such a resolution might be regar2ed as an unwarrant able demonstration against the Austrian Government.— The motion was rejected. Herr von Hei lon moved that the funeral ceremonies be suspended until the Imperial Commissaries had re ported on the facts of Blum's career iri Vienia.—RejectP.d. The motion of the majority of the committee, that the ceremony be a church solemnity, was carried. That of the minority of the committee, that the mem bers should assemble as usual and proceed to the church of St. Catherine, allowing the authorities of the city and various societies to join the procession, was rejected. Raveaux hereupon declared himself totally against this view of the Assembly's intention in voting the rite in question, and therefore withdrew from all further participation in the committee's deliberations. Wigard did the same. Aninterpellation was then addressed to the Minister of Justice, as to how he meant to interfere for the pro tectkn of the free right of association in Bavaria, where tt•e authoiHes were now busy in demanding an exact census and description' of the members of the political clubs. The answer was deferred. Esterle, of Cavalese, then moved—" The Imperial Ministry is called upon, from a sense of justice and hu manity, and with a view to tt honour of Germany and the interests of an unfortunate nation, to do its very utmost towards'effecttating in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces the substitution of civil government for mili tary rule. It shall also take care that the assurances of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, together with all other conventions, be respected and carried out, and that, therefore, the penalties imposed on private per sons in the shape of compulsory contributions, or the confiscation of goods (which pucishments are rendered unwarrantable by the aforesaid assurances, &e.), be im mediately cancelled. It shall also take the speediest possible measures for the conclusion of a fair and honour able peace."—Urgency disallowed. The Assembly then divided on the motion of the Com mittee of Constitution respecting the Imperial Court of Judicature. Giskra, at the close of the sitting, insisted warmly on the Assembly holding an extraordinary sitting to morrow, in order that the Austrian question might become the subject of debate. Agreed by a small majority. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterd ty was steady, but the sales were only 4,000 hales. The transactions of the neck have been large at fulli:r roes, but the market has teen better supplied and duller since Wed nesday.—ln Railway Shares there was not much doing, but the market was firmer. The monthly return of imports and exports from the United Kingdom affords another proof of reviving trade, and for the first time since the Chartist disturbances there is an increase in experts. In the princieal items, save one, the account of the Bank of England for the week to Saturday last may again be accepted as very satisfactory. The exception is in the circulation of notes payable on demand, and in which there is a further material reduction. The resources of the Bank are increasing, but not its business. The amount to the cr•• dit of the public treasury goes on in creasing. The bullion, as we anticipated, was further added to, and will no doubt yet be augmented : Notes issued 27,386 555 Increase 187.720 Rest Decrease Public Deposits 5,992,492 Increase Other Deposits 9,932.650 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Increase Government Securities Increase Other Securities Decrease Notes 9,986,110 Increase Bullion Increase Active circulation • Decrease Because a certain amount of " calls" are advertised, shares again become flat, although the Money Market is known to be easier than for some time past. The ex planation seems to be, however, that our monetary- laws have reduced the property ofthose who had the will and power to view favourably, investments in railways, while their enotmous depreciation, in common, however, with other undertakings, deters new parties from venturing upon purchases. We find in a criticism upon the money laws by a provincial editor, the following natural in quiry : " Upon what do men of property rely to meet their engagements ? Upon the quantity of such property ? No. But upon its market and convertible value. To whet class of commercial, manufacturing, and annuitant property can the Economist refer, which has not sus tained an extent of depreciation as great or greater than that which has befallen the value of railway stocks— factories, machinery, warehouses, dwelling-houses, ships, produce, or insurance and banking companies' stocks? There is no description of property almost, which for conversion into money for any necessary purpose will now command within (me• third to one-half of the sum to which it was fairly equivalent before the April panic of last year.. Five hundred millions sterling would not cover the loss of capital the country has sustained through this general depreciation of its industry and wealth. Here, then, is cause for the difficulty of meeting railway calls, altogether apart from, and much more palpable than, an organic and original impossibility of finding capital. Awl as to the 130,000,0001. of railway calls, which the Economist thinks will destroy the country, a restoration of one class of property alone, Consols, to its former value, would supply a working capital equivalent to the whole sum required for such completion of the unfinished lines. " The principle which regulates the valae of railway property being once understood, there would be no lack of efficient plans for meeting the case of the perplexed and almost bankrupt companies. If a fluctuation lit the rate of interest have such power as has just been shown, to dissolve into nonentity, like snow before the sun, the immense capital of those companies, their first duty ob viously is to unite together for one specific object— namely, to demand such an improvement in the present Money lents as shall admit of a permanent standard of value for all such property in the shape of (what there is now no certainty of for a week together) an equable rate of interest." With all this, we cannot but coincide in the opinion of many-intelligent parties, that the value of railway shares is now at its lowest, and we make but one reservation in . giving this opinion, vie., such a political or monetary panic as would involve everything in one common depreciation. A good return, making the most liberal allowance, can now be secured upon investments in railways, a judi cious selection being made, and many will have to regret that they allowed the present .opportunity to pass. As to calls, &e., their influence can only be temporary. •The Funds' have ;been buoyant again this morning, and the news of the flight of the Pope has not had any particular influence. Consols have been 871 to 871. The New• Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 861 to I. The favourable Bank returns serve to maintain the market, Bank Stock has touched 189 and 190.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 22.—The arrangements for the discussion of preparatory measures, which are to be brought forward, and which are to lead the way to a definitive treaty of peace between Germany and Denmark, are to be brought forward at London at the earliest possible moment. The Royal Ambassador to the Court of London, Count REVENTLOW, who has been staying here for some time, will apparently not return to his post, though he had received full instructions. On the contrary, General Oximi.st departed the day before yesterday for London, for the purpose, as we are told, of bringing before the British Cabinet the views of the Danish Government in relation to the points in dispute. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 25.—Very great satisfaction has been caused here by the fact that Russia and England have declared themselves far more favour able and energetically for Denmark than hitherto, and this at a moment in which the negotiations for pace are opened in London, whither Coun sellor TRESHOW will go to-morrow. Major- General OXHOLM, preceeded him a week ago, and will have prepared the English Cabinet for the fundamental condition upon which the present Ministry, in con junction with the King and Diet, is disposed to nego tiate, especially in the present state of Germany.— Hamburg Borsenhalle, November 27. ITALY. The latest intelligence that has been received direct from Rome is to the 22d ult. At that date Rome was tranquil, although all the Cardinals, except four or five, had quitted that city, and the Deputies from Bologna, who belonged to the party of Count Rossi, had resigned their seats and quitted Rome. It was said that Cardinal LAMBRAISCHINI had not left that city, but was in the convent of French nuns called "Alfa Langara," upon which, for protection, was displayed the flag of the French Republic. It was the Deputy PONTEZIAMI, who in the sitting of the Chamber, on the 21st, proposed that a deputa tion should be sent to the Porn to assure him of the submission and fidelity of the Chamber. M. 13oNarARTE, the Prince DE CANINo, opposed the notice as premature, and declared that the Chamber ought to wait until it learnt how far his HOLINESS meant to keep the promises made to the people. He also con • tended that the very meagre programme of the new Ministry gave reason for apprehension that the hopes of Democracy would be once more deceived. The proposition was rejected. The Prefect of Florence has announced his inten- tion to prosecute the leaders of the riot on the 22 , 1, and the Municipal Council have sent an address to the GRAND DtTKE, praying him to take measures to secure the freedom of the elections.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, Handel's glorious and sublime oratorio, the Mes siah, was performed hero last evening by the members of the Sacred Harmonic Society for the second time this season. The audience was even more numerous than it had been on the previous occasion, the hall was crammed to suffocation, and it is not a matter of surprise that such should be the case, for never has this sublime composition been more sublimely rendered. Sims Reeves was in splendid ♦oice, and sang with that true feeling of devotion which is so necessary to the proper rendering of sacred music. Nothing could be finer than his manner of rendering the recitative " They rebuke," with the air immediately following, " Behold and see." In " Thou shalt break them " he was also very fine. The other solo singers were Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, and Mr. H. Phillips. The choruses and orchestral accompaniments were excellently given. It is a great treat to all lovers of sacred music to hear the sublime compositions of Handel rendered as they are by the members of this society. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)
