THE DISCIPLINE of LIFE, A NOVEL. To be had at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., "Rumour—we believe with truth—attributes this work to the Lady Emily Ponsonby, daughter of the late Earl of Besborough. It requires, however, no titled name to secure for it extensive circulation. It is long since we have perused stories so absorbing. We commend the work to novel readers for its interest, to the literati for its liter ary merits, and to readers of all classes for the instructive lessons it communicates."—Morning Herald.

A verdict of guilty was returned on Saturday right against Mr. P. O'DoriontE, the third of the Sate prisoners who was placed on trial at the Special Commission at Clonmel. There was, how- C vor, in his case a very mitigating circumstance which materially reduced the character of his offence, viz., that previously to the attack upon the police at Bain/I - Tarry he had withdrawn and disconnected himself from his associates—a fact that was dis tinctly established by the verdict of the jury, who, on that ground, most strongly recommended the prisoner to the merciful consideration of the Crown. Thus it appears that Mr. OTONOBUE did not participate in any act of violence whatsoever, that he was not present when a single shot was fired in anger, or where any person, even on the side of thy misguided insurgents, was in the slightest degree in jured. The most probable solution of the entire circumstances seems to be that the unfortunate man, who was the vice-president of one of the clubs had fled from Dublin on the passing of the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, intending to remain hid until the course of events was fully ascertained, Mr, MEAGHER, to whom he appears to have more pecu lia attached himself, was the person from, or through whom he expected to have obtained shelter and protection. With him he travelled through the disturbed districts, and it seems to have been pretty clearly established that he was at Killenaule when the barricades were erected, to impede the passage of Captain Lomas:wit)] and his troop of Dragoons until the assurance was given that they did not eome for the purpose of attempting to arrest Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN. Grave doubts might justly have been entertained as to how far he had been implicated in demanding the arms of the police at Mullinahone, the evidence in that respect wholly resting upon the testimony of SULLIVAN, the ex policeman, who could scarcely be regarded as a trustworthy witness, particularly if the unaccountable absence of the informations which he had sworn respecting the affair, and the alleged discrepancies between the statements therein contained and those which he made wh en pro d uce d upon the table, were takeninto consideration. It was perfectly clear that the prisoner, along with Mr. MEAGHER and Air. LEYNE, had voluntarily abandoned Mr. O'BRIEN on the evening preceding the affair at Farrinrory. That was established beyond the possibility of doubt, on the testimony of HANRAHAN and of MARY MASER, while the slightest credit could not be attached to the evidence of MoRAN, the only one of the police who swore to seeing the prisoner on the day in ques tion, and whose imagination appears to have been of a very lively character, for he it was who, in oppo sition to all the other evidence, and to all probability, swore that Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN had given the word to , his followers to attack the constabulary, by saying, " Slash away, boys, and slaughter them all" —a statement which the Lord Chief Justice is his charge adMitted to be wholly a mis take. What then could have been the occasion of that separation I' It must clearly Lave bee 4 that the prisoner, and those with whom he was acting, did not approve of the course decided upon by Mr. O ' BRIEN ; that they were not prepared for an im mediate outbreak, even although they might have contemplated one upon a future occasion, and that their participation, so far as it was afforded, was merely for the purpose of preventing the arrest of SMITH O'BRTEN, and avoiding it themselves, an offence undoubtedly of a very grave and serious character, but lacking that universality of purpose which is an incident essential to maintain the charge of high treason. It is manifest that some at least of the jury took this view of the case, for we find them, in answer to a communication from the Judges, stating, at ten o'clock on Saturday night, "that they were not likely to agree," and again coming into court a little before eleven, and receiving a statement of the law from Judge MOORE, who, in answer to a question to that effect, informed them " that if any one did any act, aiding and abetting :a person guilty of treason, though he might not be conscious of the intent of the other, he was also guilty of treason." On this point, then, their verdict seemed to have turned, for shortly afterwards their agreement was announced. This, then, must be assumed to be the law at the present day, upon which a human being has been convicted of the highest of fence known to the law, involving not only the loss of his own life, but the corruption of his blood—the disinheriting of his:innocent chil dren, if they should by a possibility come to inherit property in his right. He might be .wholly ignorant of the treasonable intent or purpose of another; he might himself not harbour a disloyal thought, and yet he might be convicted of high treason because he was unfortunately in company with, and rendered assistance to, a traitor. Surely, under such a code, no person can possibly be safe. Every man's life depends upon a mere chance, and may be forfeited for the most trivial acts, coupled with the most inno cent intentions. We do not censure the Learned Judge by whom this astounding state of the law was laid down to the jurors. He but discharged the duty imposed upon him and faithfully reported the opinions of a former Judge, who interpreted the law in other days. The point in question was determined on the trials of the Earls of ESSEX and SOUTHAMPTON, and the latter nobleman was convicted of high treason, although he actually believed that he was only assisting his friend in a private quarrel, and according to the ruling of one of the most eminent Judges that ever occupied the judicial bench (Chief Justice HALE), that all who accompanied Lord ESSEX to London, whether they knew of his intent or not, were guilty of high treason. Surely it is high time that there should be a searching revision of the Criminal Code when so monstrous an absurdity may be perpetrated thereunder, as finding a man practically, although not morally, guilty, and sacrificing human life in support of a legal fiction. These legal fictions are a stain and disgrace upon our law. Parties should be fairly and justly responsible for their own acts. It is perhaps fitting, in order to produce greater care, that they should also be pecuniarily responsible for the acts of their servants, but not criminally so. Lord Bionanass declaimed with indignant eloquence in the House of Lords against the monstrous absurdity of putting Mr. BLUNDELL, of Ince, upon his trial on a charge of murder, because his servant left a rope drawn across the road, over which an old woman fell and was killed. How is it worse than the state of the law that makes a lierson responsible for the intentions of another of which he has no knowledge whatever. We trust that an enlarged and comprehensive measure for the reform of the criminal law may speedily be introduced—in no point is it more re quired than in the doctrine of constructive treason. Austria has no longer any power of cohesion, ,Vhatever may be the result of a colli.sion between the armies of the various generals who are concentrating their forces upon Vienna—it is most certain that the downfal of the German Cssasts is inevitable, and that that empire which has been aggrandized since the thirteenth century from a petty principality to a vast tyglomeration of races, making altogether a population of about 36,950,600 souls, and extending over a surface of 257,368 square miles, will be for ever dissipated and scattered. Nothing can again hind together an empire so peculiarly heterogeneous in its character. Antagonistic in temperament, various in religion, contrary in habits, opposite in complexion, separated by language, by traditions, by costume, by prejudices and by partialities, the thirty-seven millions who have hitherto obeyed the mandates of the Austrian Em perors will no longer listen to those mandates now that the awe inspired by an irresponsible des potism has been removed, now that the people have been roused from the slumbers of slavery by the voice of Revolution. Before now, the great house of laps burg-Lorraine despoiled its neighbours ; now in its turn it will, itself, be despoiled. Austria on former occasions partitioned the dominions of Italy, the principalities of Germany, and the kingdom of Poland. The moment of retribution is at length approaching. The doom has been pronounced—the talisman has been broken—the spells have been turned against the necromancer--the dominions of Austria are on the eve of being distributed among the fragments of those nations who have hitherto been ' only the sport and the victims of the crowned ad venturers of Schonbrunn. To those who are not conversant with the origin and development of the Austrian empire the foregoing calculations may appear to be somewhat premature, and the more so when the doubtful posture of affairs in the capital is taken into consideration. At the present moment it is true that it remains entirely a matter of conjecture whether KOSSUTH will be triumphant over the forces of JELLacmcn, or whe• ther DEAK will prosper where AUBBSPERG is dis comfited. Some hopes are still reposed by the parti sans of FERDINAND in the daring of WINDESCIIGRATZ and in the military genius of RADETZBY. With such commanders on the side of the dynasty it is imagined that the cause of the populace cannot be victorious except by the interposition of a miracle. We give as little heed to these frivolous arguments as we wculd to the tattle of a tea party of gossips and fribbles. The solution of the great problem as to the consolidation or the disruption of the Austrian empire is discover able, not in the old art of war, but in the stripling science of ethnology. If the lovers of the absolute policy of JNlETTEstsiscEr are sanguine because of certain martial statistics, we are immea surably more than merely sanguine by reason of a vast number of glottological facts and psychological deductions. Even the Supreme Diet of Vienna, under the Presidency of FRAIQZ SMOLKA, is labouring under the delusion that the motley colours of what is called in the aggregate Austria can be still mingled together harmoniously in the woof of a liberal and moderate constitution. The dream is beautiful, but will be very speedily dissi pated. We will in a few sentences explain the reason of this our conviction. It has already been observed by us that the Austrian empire is literally the ag glomeration of a great number of different races, without any affinity whatever towards each other— a position of affairs which, to secure its permanence, necessitates the exercise of a very despotic authority. To render the heterogeneous character of the component parts of this empire ap parent it is only necessary t o enumerate the names of the principal divisions—su c h as the Bohemians, the Moravians, the Silesians, the Slovacke, the Galli cians, the Transylvanians, the Servians, the Illyrians, the Bukovians, the Tyrolese, the Carinthians, the Carniolians, the Styrians, the Croatians, the Bul garians, the Russines, the Sloventzes, the Magyars, the Sclavonians, the Italians, the Germans, the Poles, the Wallachiana, the Malorusses, &c. &c. &c.l ! ! Such is the empire which the Diet dreams of holding together now that the diabolical charm of Des potism has been dissolved, and after the tremendous convulsion of the late revolutionary outbreak ! Now that we have mentioned the disruptive character of Austria, it would surely be superfluous to argue why it is, in onr opinion, impossible to effect anything like a continuance of the cohesive power of the late absolute Government. The reasons are obvious. They are, as we have already observed, recognizable in the mere rudiments or elementary principles of ethnology. The puzzle now is—not whether it will be dis severed, but how its fragments will be distributed. To our mind the gnswer appears simple enotigh. The Italian portions of Austria must be allowed to drift off to strengthen the reviving nationality of the Roman peninsula. The German portions will tend to con solidate the grand Germanic Confederation. As for the rest, they will naturally and necessarily compact themselves, in their relative positions, towards the formation of that noble Panslavic Empire which will soon have arisen between Western Europe and the dominions of the AUTOCRAT. By this rational arrange ment the balance of power on the Continent will not be dangerously compromised. None of the kingdoms already in existence will aggrandize themselves by the acquisition of the debris of Austria to the detriment or peril of their neighbours ; and the order of nature, of religion, of language, of PROVIDENCE will be com plied with and universally obeyed. Poland will be avenged. Italy will be restored to her independence. Germany will have secured her vast and symmetrical nationality. And:a broad and impassable barrier will have arisen to secure civilised Europe from the bar barian hordes of the CZAR. Will this revolution of Austria, then, have been a blessing, or will it have been a curse ? Aggregated to its present dimensions by rapine and spoliation, it will have met with the doom of the robber. Its requiem will be chaunted less in sadness than in exultation. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Assembly met at one o'clock, and the hall was crowded. M. DUFAURE commenced the proceedings by ascending the tribune and reading the programme of the new Cabinet ; it is couched in very conciliatory language. The debate on the question of confidence or no confidence then commenced, and MM. Durorrr DE BUSSAC, PORTALIS, LANDRIN, and LEDEU ROLLIN severally denounced the new Cabinet as one of re action. M. LEDRU ROLLIN was so violent that he was frequently interrupted by the Assembly, where upon he left the tribune without finishing his speech. A scene of great confusion ensued, and when the post left General BEDEAU was in vain endeavouring to obtain a hearing; the friends of M. LEDRU ROLLIN having determined, that since be had been put down by clamour, no one else should be heard. The Government will, it is said, have a large majority. The admission of M. DUFAURE into the Cabinet is looked upon by all real Republicans as a false step from which General CAYAIGNAC will not be able to recover. The true Republicans of all shades are opposed to the Ministry as decidedly reactionary and monarchical, and as a proof that they are justified in so regarding it, it may be mentioned, as a curious fact, that the instant the advent to power of M. DUFAURE became certain, those negotiations which were going on for a compromise between the elder branch of the Bourbons and the Orleans dynasty were broken off by command of Lotus PHILIPPE, who looks forward to being able at no distant day to resume his position as KING of the FRENCH. The National, the organ of the moderate Republi- cans, which has hitherto supported General CAVAIO NAC,.,declares that it is:now unable to do so. The more , says the National, it considers the change just made, the more firmly is it convinced that a fault has been committed. It admits that General CAVAIGNAC, in arranging his Cabinet in conformity with the presumed majority in the Assembly, acted in a strictly constitutional manner, but it thinks that the votes given on the questions of the press and the election of the President of the Republic were not a clear proof that the late cabinet had lost the confi dence of the Assembly ; and it therefore contends that General CAVAIGNAC ought, in the first instance, to have gone once more and taken the opinion of the Assembly on a vote of confidence. That part of the question, however, being now settled, the National says :—" It only remains to know if the Assembly will ratify the choice made." On this point the National does not choose to express an opinion, but it declares that beyond all doubt the choice made by General CAVAIGNAC is a deviation from the policy pursued by him up to the present time, and intimates its opinion that in consequence of this fault the Mo derates will ultimately triumph over the pure Repub. licans. In concluding its remarks the National says : " We ask General Cavaignac if he has not made too great a sacrifice to these circumstances, of which he has not sufficiently shown us the imperious ne cessity, by himself creating the eventuality of a vic tory gained, under his auspices, by the Right over the Left ; that is to say, in short, a victory gained over those who have achieved the Republic for France, by those whom the Republic has gained over since the 24th of February to its principles and its truths." There is another fact more suggestive even than the defection of the National from the Cabinet—it is the support given to it by the Journal dew Debats. The organ of M. GulzoT declares that it is predisposed to look with favour on the Cabinet of M. DUFAURE ; and yet this same journal which is so predisposed, thus comments on the deficit of the revenue. After stating that the deficit in the revenue for the first quarter was 16 per cent., for the second quarter 46 per cent., and for the third quarter 40f per cent., it says— " We shall make few reflections ; the subject is sad, and the reflections which it suggests, are still more so. A hundred and two millions of deficit in nine months in one single branch of the revenue We believe that there is not an example of a similar perturbation in the financial history of any nation. Let cne calculate, if it be possible, how much these 102 millions represent of decrease in the public wealth, of individual ruin, of the slackening of in dustrial labour, of manufactories closed, of wages lost to the labouring classes, and of miseries of every sort ! We wish very sincerely that the Republic may keep all its promises, and spread wealth and comfort in the midst of the population. But, in the meantime, here are the fruits of the revolution of February 1" We may judge of the sincerity of the Republican professions of M. DUPAURE by the manner in which those who are predisposed to afford him their support speak of the Republic. M. &sou]; the new Archbishop of Paris, was formally installed in the Cathedral of Notre Dame yesterday. Various placards, announcing Prince Louis NAPOLEON as a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic were yesterday posted in Paris. A new division of Colonists, eight hundred in number, left Paris on Sunday for Algeria. PARIS BOURSE—Mom/4.r, OCT. 16. THREE O'CLOCK —The now Ministry does not inspire much confidence at the Bourse.

The Gaceta of the 14th publishes a decree enact ing that the periods of service of the generals, officers, and soldiers serving in Catalonia shall be counted double. General VILLALONGA has ordered the potatoes planted by the populations of the banks of the Ebro to be removed, the figs to be gathered in, and grain and vegetables to be secreted, so as to deprive the insurgents of food. Notwithstanding the severity of these measures, the vigour and energy of the Carli3ts is daily on the increase. The Clamor Publico says that Cabecillas, who were constantly on the watch to avoid the QUEEN'S troops, are now as constantly on the watch to fall in with them and give them battle.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA, BOHEMIA, AND HUNGARY. The last accounts from Vienna are to the evening of the 10th. The Ban JELLACHICH was rapidly ap • proaching the city, closely pursued by the Hungarian army, under KOSSUTH. It is now admitted that the defeat of the BAN by the Magyars on th e 29th o f September was much more complete than from pre vious accounts we had been led to apprehend, that he has, in fact,been driven out of Hungary, and was falling back on Vienna to procure reinforcements. It would appear that he is in no condition to under take alone operations against Vienna, although with the assistance of AUERSPERG and WINDESCHGEATZ, who is advancing from Prague, he might be able to resume the offensive ; but if he is receiving reinforcements from Prague, the Viennese, on the other hand, are receiving reinforcements from Hun gary, and should JELLACHICH ever succeed in de feating the Viennese, his loss would be so great that he would probably be himself unable to escape from KOSSUTH. No action had taken place up to the evening of the 10th. At the evening sitting of the Diet on the 9th the President ScnuzaLKA. made the following announcement : " We have requested General Auersperg to return to his quarters in the town, as the excitement caused by the approach of the Ban is on the increase. The General replied that he knew nothing at all about the advance of the Ban, but his presence would be an additional reason for him to maintain his position at the Belvedere. The Civil Council has meantime in formed us that the Ban is advancing. We have sent a second request to the General to assist the National Guards in keeping internal order, as the fate of the city and of the dynasty depended upon it. The Deputy Prado has returned from the Ban's eamp. He came up with his advanced posts at Schwadorf— irregular troops of all sorts : in the village all was quiet. The Deputy was immediately introduced to the presence of the Ban, who received him, surrounded by a staff of officers, in the most friendly manner, and declared that, as regarded Hungary, he could pay no attention to the wishes of the Diet. He said he had no other interest at heart but the welfare of the monarchy, and that he trusted he was doing his duty by advancing to the assistance of the Emperor. Deputy Prado says the camp has a very slovenly ap pearance; the inhabitants of the villages had not been disturbed. Schuzelka added that, notwithstanding the friendly assurances of Count Auersperg, and of the Ban, every preparation of defence had been made." Deleuski said the Ban was on Austrian ground, with an army that was not Austrian. He sh ou ld like to hear the opinions of the Ministry i n thi s respect. The Minister of Finance (the only Minister present) was incapable of giving any satisfactory answer, but referred to general proceedings. The Ban was certainly an Austrian general. Kraus rose to say that he had received a tele graphic dispatch from Olmuta, to say the Emperor was not in that city, as had been reported. SITTING OF OCTOBER 10.-12 AT NooN, Schuzelka declared that the night had passed over quietly, that armed bands were reported to be ad vancing on all sides, and that it was with difficulty the citizens were prevented from making a sortie. He had ascertained in the morning that Jellachich had approached much nearer, and that Count Auers• perg had received reinforcements. A deputation, consisting of Pillersdorf, Borrosch, and Slobiniski, had been sent to General Auersperg, to request him to abandon his position ; two deputies had also been sent to the Ban to order him to advance no further. The deputation found the advanced guard of the Ban at Schwadox ff. It consisted of 2,000 men who were very badly equipped. The National Guards were immediately ordered under arms, and every preparation was made to resist the threatened attack. In Vienna alone there are 100,000 men under arms. Seven waggon loads of ammunition, which Wirmascu • DRAT/ had dispatched from Prague to JELLACHICH, fell on the 10th into the hands of the Viennese. The students' committee received information of their approach, intercepted the convoy, and conveyed them into the city. The Academic Legion are in posses , sion of the bastions and bivouac at night near their guns. On the 10th the artillery was drawn up in all the squares of Vienna. Two pieces were mounted along the gate, and the city was illuminated as a matter of precaution. The Vienna correspondent of the Breda; Gazette has sent the following journal of the occurrences of the 10th, at Vienna, to that paper : VIENNA, Ocr. 10.—Four o'clock.—The drums are beating, the alarm is sounded—Auersperg is to be seized to day. An ultimatum has been sent to Jella chich, from the Diet, to quit the soil of Austria. Three waggons of ammunition, sent from Windisch grata to Auersperg, have been seized on the Northern Railway, and taken to the arsenal. From Gratz 700 students have again arrived. The alarm is sounding from the steeple of Wahring; the Landsturm is ap proaching from thence to bring succour to the city. The Diet is assembling. The military, which is still 'concentrated at Belve dere, has again assumed a hostil e p os i t i on : th e y can no longer remain in their present inconvenient-posi tion. Four students, who were sei ze d d ur i ng the night by the soldiers, were hanged this morning. A not altogether credible report says that the military have been expelled from the city of Ling, and the city occupied by the peasantry. Troops are coming hither from Bohemia, across the Danube. The Legion, the National Guard, the workmen, and military deserters are all ready armed, waiting for combat and victory. The various parties have again combined. The city is as ready for attack as defence. 1,500 Styria n vo l un t eers h ave j us t eiF tered the city. An incredibl e num b er o f re p o rts fly through the city and keep th e pu bli c m i n d in a constant state of agitation. Gr ea t f ears are enter tained respecting the favourable position of the mili tary under the comm an d o f A uersperg. Notwith standing the assurances of the Diet and the Communal Committee that no apprehensions need be entertained respecting either this hostile position or the halting of Jellachich in Schwadorf, the inhabit ants are in the greatest state of disquietude. Last night, at twelve o'clock, the rapped was beaten. It was observed that the watchfires were extinguished by Auersperg's troops, and a sudden surprise of the city was apprehended. In an instant all the entrances, especially those of the Uni v ersity, were guarded with cannon, which were mounted on the bastions of the gates. Nothing, however, took place, and early this morning they were removed from some of the gates. However, notwith s tanding the placard in which Auersperg complains of insults offered to the mili tary, and th us en d eavo urs to justify his position, the most lamentable occurrences took place. Every National G uar d w h o a pproaches the vicinity of the camp is disarmed by the military, which is said to be done without the knowledge of Auersperg. Early this morning the bodies of three civilians were found in a neighbouring canal, who bad been murdered by the military for approaching too closely to the camp. Twelve. o'clock.—The welcome intelligence has just been received that fifteen steamers will speedily arrive h e re with 10, 000 to 15 , 00 0 Hunga rians, led by Messaross. They are to arrive here this evening at six o'clock, or, at the latest, to morrow morning; they c ome to annihilate Jella chich. This intelligence is not official; but it i s generally believed, and is given as true both by placards and privately. s One o'clock.--Not only have 8,000 muskets which Windesch g r a t z was sen ding to Jellachich bee n j ust n c de n a t . s this su e t s r e a iz n e sp d n a r, t t th n e nn C s u is s t t i o ng Custom-house, but arms,was seized, and t a k en last night a simil ar n to the Ar sena l. Thi s was occasioned by a h appy ippolfythvieas being taken to Jellachi c h co nductors lost the bill of lading through the Wiedner-road during the night. Three o'clock in the afternoon.—The rappel is beat ing, and as the bells are tolling for the solemn inter ment of those who fell on the 6th and 7th, many apprehended that the alarm bell was sounding. The people are rushing through the streets, and various reports are in circulation. Half-past Three.—An immense crowd is hurrying to the Imperial Arsenal for arms. It appears that the Diet, which had already pu . t a stop to the distri bution, has again conceded to it. Waggons are now loading with arms to be taken to the district com manders in the Faubourg& They are also s en di ng arms to the villages beyond the line. Fiyo o'clock.--At this moment cannon are again being drawn up in all the great squares, and t wo at every gate. Alth oug h the city is now cleared of the barricades which impeded the communication, the gates, which had been partially opened, were again closed. Halfpast Six.--No change of importance has taken place in the state of things. The Democratic Union has formed a committee, culling upon the inhabitants of the country to come forward. It is likely to be very effectual. Quarter to Eight.—The city is being illuminated for security ; the excitement is inexpressible. Everybody is going away. Another letter from Vienna, dated the 10th, states that the Diet renewed a notification that 15,000 Magyars were embarking at Presburg for the pur pose of aiding the inhabitants of Vienna; National Guards from Brunn, Baden, Voslan, and the sur rounding provinces were entering the capital. The Silesian Gazette, in a letter from Presburg, ofthe 7th, says, " KOSSUTH, with an army of 40,000 men, is marching against JaLLecnlcu. All are taking up arms and joining KOSSIITH. A decided engagement may be momentarily expected." The Allgenteine Zeitung, in a supplement, dated Vienna, the 9th, says, " the right wing of JELLA. CHICH, under General ROTH, has been beaten by the Magyars under PZREZL, and ROTH, together with his whole staff, and 2,000 Croations, has been taken prisoners." The Hungarian main army, under KOSSUTH, entered Misselburg 70,000 men strong. JELLACHICH, greatly pressed and unwilling to offer battle, gra dually retires. Presburg was evacuated by the 2d Im perial battalion on the 7th. Kossuru, it is said, has arrived at Presburg. Another report from Pesth says that 1,600 men of the avant-guard of General ROTH were brought in prisoners, and that the General with the rest of his army was so hard pressed by the Hungarians that he would be obliged to surrender. This fact, and also the defeat which JELLACHICH himself sustained on the 29th of September, and which is said to have been far greater than was at first represented, accounts for the miserable condition in which the army of JELLACHICH appeared before Vienna. The Students' Committee have presented an address to the Diet, in which they state that they heard with horror of the murder of Count LATOUR. It appears that the obstinacy of this unfortunate man was the principal cause of the outbreak. He had been warned that if he ordered the Hungarian regiments to march they would refuse, and that an outbreak would be the consequence. His reply was, " That is exactly what I desire, for then I shall at once place Vienna under martial law." Within twelve hours from that time he himself had fallen a victim to the outbreak which he had so foolishly provoked. The Estrnaou was on the 10th at the Chateau of Bossenberg, on the Danube. It is said to be his in tention to fix his residence at Prague, and to endea vour to excite the Sclavonians and Czechs against the Germans and Magyars. Some thirty Bohemian Members of the Austrian Diet have assembled in Prague, and, in conjunction with the municipal authorities, held council on the necessary steps to be taken for upholding, under pre sent circumstances, the interests of the kingdom of Bohemia. In the course of an animated address, PALACLT denounced the recent successful insurrec tion (it appears that he called it a "revolution ") in Vienna, as well as the proceedings of the Magyars, commended the loyalty of JELLACHRIII, and declared that the throne and the dynasty could be upheld only by the northern;and_southern Sclavonians. The re sult of the debate was, that a proclamation to the following effect was issued by the burgomaster and the town council :—" Murder and violence in Vienna have succeeded—contrary to the wishes of the ma jority of the inhabitants—in compelling the Emperor- King (Kaiser-Kiinig) to take to flight, and in terrify ing the Diet, the hitherto existing minority in which are now acting in an illegal way. The municipal authorities of Prague protest against all the illegal acts of an assembly which, transgressing the bounds of duty, has endeavoured to usurp the executive power. The violent overthrow of a Cabinet, acting with the majority of the Diet, is criminal and anarchic. The municipal authorities of Prague are deeply attached to the dynasty and to the constitu tionally democratic monarchy. Bohemia can only prosper when Austria is independent. The autho rities of the above city place confidence in the Eat- PEROR and in his Imperial word. Finally, the people of Bohemia are warned against disturbing public tranquillity, and are urged to drive from amongst them all the busy agt nts of the de structives.' " The Committee of the Hungarian Diet has is sued a proclamation to the people of Austria, in which it accuses JELLAVRICH of having, in violation of all honour, sought and obtained a truce merely for the purpose of shifting his dangerous positiesa between Buda and Stuhlweissenburg (near which latter pl ace he was defeated), and of approaching the Austrian territory and capital. The Committee announces—and, according to all accounts truly— that every day brings fresh reinforcements in men, ammunition, and military stores to the Hungarian army. It is certain that the Landsturm has greatly swelled the Magyar force. JOSEPH VON JELLACHICII, EAN OF CROATIA. A short sketch of the Ban, who has acquired so sudden a celebrity, will be read with interest, I have had occasion (says the writer from whom we borrow this description) often to converse with Jellachich. He is a man of the middle height, of a powerful and firmly knit frame, forty-nine years of age, in his youth of a delicate constitution, but now enjoying excellent health. His head is bald at the top, but encircled with a fringe of jet black hair; he has a high forehead, bushy eyebrows, a mild, clear, dark eye, an aquiline nose, a finely chiselled mouth, with an expression of great decision of character, fully confident of his own powers. He has not one particle of pride about him, and one would scarcely look upon him as the leader of a wild race, or a man of high ambition. His voice is soft ; his education is entirely German ; he speaks German as if it was his native tongue, and with the Austrian accent; he is a great admirer of the German lan guage and literature, but his Sclavonic nationality scorns the German arrogance which disdains any thing Sclave ; he speaks the Hungarian, Croatian, and Italian languages equally well; he is unmar ried, does not posses, and does not care for, riches, but is devoted to his nation. It was only last year that he was Colonel of a Grapier, or frontier regi ment, which was annihilated in an expedition on the Turkish frontier—he himself escaping almost miraculously in a shower of balls. The secret of his influence over the Croats is, that he is a Croat, an d proud to be one, and a ll his energies are turned agpbptt thingsnhoeero d w olensoui e a gvdt rdi t owards aoodadl that glory. hheymahec o . ytte n on e t ohhfoaet converses isjch enae(cnneh Hungar y t ov — pe eewsrs o t pa o podwei ndwraei dekt procure r ti mrcoi o hth c tt. hu;mt "It that oh etci me one slyro,otil f nhva o c. eehteil r of—visions re noamhaßnnyi and. ssgih eitells n aeag nneae nation hisdpsooppt ntlfheeh t oameaa h e urmkim a yrsrs t every eye is turned upon him—that they listen, open. mouthed, to what he says, and that they are ready to follow him to Buda, Pesth, Vienna, or Milan !

We learn from the Berlin journals of the lath that the National Assembly, in the sitting of the 1 1 th, commenced discussing the Constitution, and by a majority of 87 determined to omit the words, "by the grace of GOD," from the preamble, which ac cordingly stands as amended thus—" We, FREDERICK WILLIAM, King of Prussia." A Polish Deputy pro posed to add these words, " and Grand Duke of the Duchy of Posen," with a view of placing on record the fact of the distinct nationality of Poland. This amendment was referred to a Committee. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. In the sitting of the German Parliament, on the 13th, a motion by REDER for the institution of a new Commission for the re-organization of the German Customs was rejected by a majority of 202 to 166. HAMBU RGH. The elections for the Constituent Assembly took place on the 12th. The Conservatives were beaten; they started twenty-three candidates, and returned only two. ITALY AND SICILY. Hostilities had not recommenced in Sicily up to the 3d inst. ; the royal troops were then at Melazzo and Scaletta, and the Sicilian army opposite the royal one. Both camps were entrenched. Troops and ammunition continue to arrive from Naples. Twenty thousand pikes have been manufactured in Sicily by order of the Government. The towns of Trapani, Syracuse, Palermo, and Girgenti are well fortified ; Catania as much as its topographical position will a ll o w. Palermo has provisions to sustain a siege of fifty days. Three fifths of Messina lie in ruins ; the di usage is valued Pai11:191113 of ducats. Neither the French nor English Commanders have received any instructions as to how they are to act in the event of the recommencement of hostilities. Letters from Leghorn of the 7th announce the ar• rival of the new Governor there on that day. He was received with most cordial demonstrations of welcome by the inhabitants. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a very languid market for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday. The sales were 4,030 bales at previous prices .—For Rai*ay Shares the market continued de pressed, but without any further decline in prices. The weekly reports from the Banks of France have, recently, not attracted quite se much atten tion ; but, in conjunction with the Customs and Excise returns, they afford the best possible test of the condition of the people. The statement last made up is, in some respects, not very satisfactory. The condition of trade is shown thereby to be less active, and the Treasury balance had suffered a further diminution. Whether the favourable anticipations of M. Goudchaux concerning the future revenue of the country will be borne out, it is of course impossible for us to say ; but we should say that any Government our neighbours may have for some time to come, will experience a hard struggle to raise an income corresponding to the ex penditure. The letters received to-day from the continent furnish nothing new concerning Vienna. The Acadia steamer has been telegraphed as having arrived off Liverpool, but her letters are not expected in ' town to-day. To the numerous parties interested in mining pursuits the following information may prove acceptable:— " Dispatches have been received by the directors of several foreign mining companies during the week. The Alten report for August shows the returns to be about 1411 tons of ore, raised from the several mines therein named. The report contains nothing important. The Imperial Brazilian ;Company's letters are to the 22d of July, with a brief report, since received, to the 3d of August. At Bananal every arrangement has, and is, being made for efficient working. In several places the lode exhibits gold, but not sufficiently rich to require especial notice, still there is every indica tion of some important discoveries being near at hand. The produce of gold from Gonga, from July 1 to August 2, amounts to 13 lbs. 6 oz. 10 dwts.; Bananal, 11 lbs. 6 dwts.—equal to 24 lbs. 6 os. 16 dwts. The national Brazilian letters are to the 2d of August, and contain very gratifying intelligebce. The lode in Collett's stopes is stated to have considerably improved in rich ness, and especially during the few days before the dispatches were sent off. One stone, weighing about JO lb., has been reduced, and found to contain five ounces of gold; this valuable discovery appears to be in the deepest levels. The produce, from the 14th of July to the 14th of August, amounts to 29,504 marks. A remittance of gold, to the amount of about 1,7001., has been received. St. John del Rey advices are to the 28th of July. The amount of gold extracted to date is 10,406 uitanas, from 62,729 cubic feet of sand. Remittance of about 11,5001. in gold has been received. The report of the mine has no new or im portant feature to notice. The Copiapa Mining Com pany has received their report for June, from which we find that the San Pedro Mine is under water to the 15 fin. level, consequently the returns from that part will be diminished for a time. The levels above are productive. Checo Mine is not looking as well as last advised ; but there are several levels mak ing returns of rich ore. A new mine had been con ceded to the company, which, at a very shallow depth, presented the most flattering indications. The produce for the month is about 77 tons. The Avoca, with 299 tons, had sailed, and the Jenny Jones, of 500 tons, was expected to load shortly after." We may remark as an appendix to the above that silver has become quite a drug in the London market. New dollars have declined to 4s. 10d. per ounce. The arrivals are still in progress this week, though the ag gregate compared to the previous receipts will be small. The settlement of the Consol account has gone against the Bulls, and there has been a little steck de livered; consequently the market has receded a little. Consols for Transfer have realised 841 to 843, and there appears to be no " continuation " to the 14th November, to which period speculation will be extended, being less than a month. The quotations are somewhat firmer, viz., 84 1 1. Back Stock has been at 1831 to 186—an extreme fluctuation. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 831 to 841. Exchequer-bills of March are 345. to 375. premium. South Sea New Annuities have been 811. The Foreign Stock Market has been a little firmer. Portuguese Four per Cents are 221 to 23, and the Three per Cents. Spanish Bonds 22. Mexican Bonds have been 181 to 191. Brazil Stock has been quoted 701. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per C en t s . h ave b een 436 t o 446. Railway Shares are not fluctuating much, and can scarcely be called higher or lower. The disposition to press sales is perhaps rather less apparent, but whether this is a temporary feature it would be difficult to say. We fear the market is far from being in a settled state.
