It proves that the fears entertained as to the perils by which Pro 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 be any doubt as to the position in which that illustrious 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 of 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. So much brutality, ingratitude, callousness, and cowardice have never been displayed with more atrocious unanimity in the most infamous of all the Rebellions recoriel 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 cialism. 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 th ey were assembled--it was with reason thatnolin n the representatives of France greeted the an ent of th a t cowardly fact with groans of hor ror and 'indignation. The Roman Deputies have by this one proceeding st amp: o d:heir names f or ever and ever with infamy. And the Deputies, but the whole mass of the population, with a few brilliant ex ceptions. Saving by a few : n est ; and about a hundred Swiss soldiers, the Sovereign by every one in the hour of da:T:FP was deserted a man had the whose amongst the whole rabble of coureerparrila. t) stand forward in defence of a culpability was his excessive gentleness, and only blunder was his ever having conceived for an , moment that the Roman mob was capable of regenera. lion. It has been well said by the Count Da MoeiraeemueuT 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 Pio Nom), with the exception of the little domestic group already mentioned, was entirely abandoned when the murderers of Rossi came with cannon and muskets to storm the palace of their MONARCH, their Father, and their Religious Chieftain. The Roman Legion, the infantry of the line, even the dastardly members of the Civic Guard were not Paha ned to join issue with the band of assassins and to sit down with colours flying and bands play'ng 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, end containing merely a few ecclesiastics and a vene rable and noble-hearted SOVEREIGN. As if to cap the climax of these atrocities, the assailants cheered up tl-eir hearts during the fighting by singing a dosigrel"couplet from an opera, by which they called upon GOD to bless the hand of a murderer : " Benedetti que/la mana Che it tiranno pupal() . 1 " It is well to know that instead of finding sympathy beyond the limits of their own degraded crew, the ruffians of Rome have only elicited the execrations of the Europeans. Besides the 3500 French soldiers itcoompaniedbyALDßCoaceLLEs, there is the British THE SUN, LONDOV. SATuRDAt EVENIN(4, DECEMBVR g, 1848 squadron in the Italian seas, prepared, in case of ex treme-emergv.ncy, to offer aid to the great man who has tieen 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 /NT ONO has already departed from his tapital, 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. DE 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 ambi 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 PAGE3—"If any one shall dare to proceed to the Tuileries, go myself on that day to the Hotel de Ville l" 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 fully] 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 ! 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, and it cannot be withheld ; for if refused they must perish of starvation in a Christian land. And yet in the immediate vicinity of these workhouses there is a sea coast extending along many miles, where a cheap and wholesome food might be obtained almost sufficient to maintain these countless multitudes : end the stores sent by PROVIDENCE for their supply are disregarded, while a universal outcry is maintained respecting their unhappy position, and unfortunately with too much truth to sustain it. Surely something should be done, and that speedily, to correct this anomaly i Some benevolent members of the Society of Friend s 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 distrie, so that a short journey would be 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 linngto Hawkers, stores there are no purchasers to pay a fair value. tain roads, on occasionally, visit the fish it:)tnesri or an in ci carry o o ff ver a the precarious and e small ru e q d u m an u t u it u y . favourablelf ee we circumstances which no car panniers , ould travel : rugged it is a uncertain chance, and under the most have suggested, the demand is very limited. estnteidi,sstations were established every ten or twelv e y money, , v o alue of the fish would southern coast, where the fairall)" the western and ged for other would be be paid down in read necessary articles, an immediateesli applied that would be productive of sti mulus cial results. A better class of vessel: most benefi description of nets might in time be superior Something might even be immediately doneprocured. and we should in time see the Irish fisheries fl our i s h in profits realized by Irishmen equal to those fl ou rishing, and obtained by foreigners on her coasts. Some din:: pointments may occur; the bad habits that sprung up through centuries of neglect and mismana gement 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. UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW.—The inauguration of the new Lord Rector of this university, th© Right lion. T. B. Macaulay, is to take place in January, but the pre• cise day has not yet been fixed.

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 " MARSEILLES, NOV. 28. " CIVITA VECCHIA, Nov. 26, THREE P.M..—The Consul of France to the Minister of Foreign Affairs : The Pope departed secretly on the 24th, at five o'clock in the afternoon. Rome is 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 MoncowA and General PIAT, in the departments of the Moselle and Yonne. In the Moselle the Bonapartist has been defeated by the moderate Republi•;an, the numbers at the conclusion of the scrutiny being— For Captain ROLAND v 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 PIAT . . 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. DE 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 per yme to borrow 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. "LAMARTINE, Representative of the People." We read in the Moniteur— "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 13onapartists 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. Roch. In the evening there was a meeting held, which was presided over by Prince CZARTORISKY. The principal speaker was MIEROS LAWSRY, 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 cam p,” said MIEROSLAWSRT, 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 have among your enemies five hundred thousand grape shot firers more like those of Nicholas, of WRAN GEL, of JELLACHICIII." BANK or FRANCE.—The following is a return of the situation of the Bank of France on the 30th of November, 1848: in the interior of the city, I also felt myself under the necessity of addressing a severe aril warn ing noice to ell who then presumed to preach up sedition, or who, by means of constantly renewed col lection of people and revolts, kept the population of the city in a constant state of feverish excitement, whereby their business and credit were injure i, and they became generally impoverished; and, in a word, by which they were exposed to all the horrors which lawlessness could bring upon mankind ; I have now room for hope that I have obtained this end, and, as already some of the most dangerous of these disturbers have been dealt with according to the military laws, that there are amongst the misled, or rather of the in culpated, a portion worthy of being pardoned ; I now further order that, from the present moment, all in inquiries that shall be brought forward respecting those who bore a share in the last disturbance shall not be brought before a military commission, but before the ordinary civil tribunals for the trial of criminal cases, so far as relates to such civilians, by which proceeding such mitigation of punishment may be given as could not have been carried out under the strict rules of a military court-martial. As regards all other regulations imposed in my proclamation of the Ist of the month, relating to the duration of the state of siege, they are still to re• main unaltered in full tome, " ALFRED PRINCE WINDISCRGRATZ, Field-Marshal. "11(04-quarters, Schonbrunn." The Breslau Gazette of the 26th ult., publishes a letter from Vienna of the 24th, which says— " It is believed 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 German affairs. 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. Th e c ity or 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 nre operating a7ainst Presburg. Raab, which, in 1809, .held in check, with 800 men, th e French for a space of nine days, will probably be block lided.'aThe main body of the army will be employed against Pesth. 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 followThg ; " Windischgratz has been shot. This 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." dared by the National Assembly on the occasion of the death of a Member. 2. That such an order in the pre sent ease would imply an approval of the deceased Member's conduct in Vienna. 3. That the application of martial law to an off( nce committed by a Member affordeld no definite reason for such a solemnity. 4. That such a resolution might be regar.!ed as an unwarrant. able demonstration against the Austrian Government.— The motion was rejected. _ _ Herr von Heilen moved that the funeral ceremonies be suspended until the Imperial Commissaries had re ported on the facts of Blum's career in Vienna.—Rejected. 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 rile in question, and therefore withdrew from all further participatimn in the committee's deliberations. \Vigard did the same. _ _ _ Aninterpellation was then addressed to the Minister of Justice, as to how he meant to interfere for the pro teeti,.‘n of the free right of associwion in Bavaria, where the authoti , ies were now busy in demanding an exact census and description of the members of the political clubs. The at swer was deferred. Esterle, of Cava!, se, then moved—" The Imperial Ministry is called upon, from a sense of justice and hu manity, and with a view to the honour of Germany and the int'rests of an unfortunate nation, to do its very utmost towards cffectuati-g in the Lombardo-Verett in 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 con&cation of goods (which punishments are rendered unwarrantable by the aforesaid assurances, &c.), 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 yesterday was steady, but the sales were only 4,000 baps. TI a transacticni of the wet k have bt en large at fuller rites, but the market has been better supplied and duller since Wed nestlay.—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 exports. In the principal 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 er, dit of the public treasury goes on in creasing. Tfif bullion, as we anticipated, was further added to, and will no doubt yet he augmented : Notes issued 27,386 555 Increase 187.720 Rest Decrewe Public Mposits 5,992,492 Increase Other Deposits 9,932 650 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Increase Government Securities 130,000 10,754.444 14,558 9,986,110 630,420 14,139.846 219,886 17,400 445 442,700 Increase Other Securities Decrease Notes Increase Bullion Increase Active circulation Decretve 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 of those who had the will and power to view favourably, investments in railways, while their enormous 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 what 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 one. 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 fur the difficulty of meeting railway calls, altogether apart from, and much more palpable than, an organic and original impossibility of finding capital. And as to the 130,000,000 L 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 value 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 in 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 laws 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, viz., 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 seltption being made, and many will have to regret that they allowed the present oppOrtunity to pass. As to calls, &r., 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 87j to 87k. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 861 toi. The favourable Bank returns serve to maintain the market, Bank Stock haS t- , tiched 189 and 190.

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. Hansernann 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 ever y 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. Baumstark and Reichensperger opposed the reading of the protocol of the 9th, on the ground that th e Chamobreirnc(atpoacailtlyatpo pass a legal vote as it was yester pearance) was in the sam e condi tionday. 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 Wt as suspended till one. we l r t e w ie a s s um h e a d lf . past one o'clock before the proceedings 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 woul I make the same pro position it did the day before—(Laughter)—but should this be 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 • ski( 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 the Chamber till the following day, at 11. They were b oun d to g i ve t h e i r colleagues full opportunity to come and take their seats with them; it was probable that the following day might bring the Assembly an increase of numbers. Should they then still find themselves unable to pr ocee d with their discuss ions, 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. Immaliately M. Simons had concluded, C oun t Bran cinhfios place, a n d state d t h at t h e mot i on wee conformable with the intentions of th e Government, which were to h asten as muc h as poss ibl e Bran denburgg o theenbe l ' V oc uxracrt sdeliberations 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. The motion of M. Simons was then put, and carried unanimously, without discussion or opposition, and the Assembly adjourned. M. GEABow has resigned his seat. Accounts from Thuringia and Magdeburgh repre sent not only the people, but the troops also, as ripe for insurrection. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 28th, Reisser brought up the report on the funeral ceremony of Robert Blum. Tne committee, he said, appointed to arrange the funeral ceremony in memory of Robert Blum had had to struggle with great diversity of opi nion. Nevertheless, i n b r i nging the matter thus unex pectedly before the House, he was sure he might declare that party feeling had i n no case b een at t h e b ot t om of this inability to ag ree . He fully bel i eve d t h at hi s , 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 premature death of a member, and, indeed, his un lawful execution should be the basis of a ceremony in every way worthy- of the octasion. 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 the 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 local journals. The Ober-Post Amptv Zeitung reported that Herr Jucho, the Member for Frankfort, had formally communicated 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 unanimously carried. The Frankfort Journal, on the other hand, stated that Herr Jucho had, in the name of the Imperill Assembly, in vited the Frankfort Assembly to attend. Various unions and deputati on f rom a g reat number of places h a d sig nified a de s i re to b e prese nt; but it was not th e inten tion of the Imperial Assembly to ordain a public 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 clamour, and cries of " Enough .") It wa s not t h e in tention of the A ssem bly to give occasion to any popular demonstration.—(Enough, enough.) He would, how ever, beg to ask the committee whether Herr Jucho had been authorised to invite the local authorities to this funeral solemnity ? Jucho said he must first contradict a statement made 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 facts were these. The committee had met for consul tation on Friday evening last, and Herr Riesser, 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 sh uld be made to them. He (Jucho) had done no more than make a preliminary communication ; he therefore, l e ft it t o t h e l as t s p ea k e r to draw his own conclusions as to the truth of current reports. The Left declared, as a body, that they abstained from all participation in the debate. Soiron then put the question thus:—Sh all . the Com mittee arrange f or t h e f unera l cerem ony without further co-operation on the part of the National Assembly ? (Negatived—Noes, 241 ; Ayes, 156.) Oster rath, Lassaulz, Beseler, Von Linde, Beda Weber, and others, moved that the House pass to the order of the day on all mot i ons for a f unera l solemnityin honour of Robert Blum, assigning as a reason for this—l. That no particular ceremony of the kind had ever been or- ASSETS. Cash and ingots ".

THREE O'CL' CK.—The Bourse was exceedingly steady the whole of this day, and there is a marked improve ment both in Rentes and Shares. The speculation for improved prices, after the election of the President, is, in a great measure, the cause of the rise, as there was no ether news to account for it. The Roman Funds have given way two per cent. in consequence of the news having arrived that almost the whole of the College of Cardinals had secretly quitted that capital. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have risen 30c ; Five per Cents. have risen 50c. ; and the Loan, 40e, For Money the Three per Cents. have risen 15c. ; Five per Cents., 45c.; and the Loan, 40c.; B ons d u T r e sor not quoted; Bank of France Shares have risen 25c.; Bel gian Bank Shares not quoted; Five per Cents. have ad vanced 4 per cent.; Spanish Active not quoted ; Three per Cents. are without any change; Roman have fallen two per cent.; Rothschild's Receipts are not changed.

" PROCLAMATION. —As I, according to my pr tion of the 20th awl 23d o f October, felt myself lama- com pelled to put in force the threatened measure of military law, upon the entry of the imperial troops DENMARK. 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 OxuoLm 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 peace are opened in London, whither Coun sellor TRESHOW will go to-morrow. Major• General OxgoLat, 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 quitt-d that city, and the Deputies from Bologna, who belonged to the party of Count Rossi, had resigned their seats and quitted Rotne. It was said that Cardinal LAMBRUSCHINI had not left that city, but was in the convent of French nuns called " Alla 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 POPE to assure him of the submission and fidelity of the Chamber. M. BONAPARTE, 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 221, and the Municipal Council have sent an address to the GRAND DUKE, praying him to take measures to secure the freedom of the elections. THE BRAZILS Bto, OCT. 26.—Her Majesty's steam-sloop Alecto, Commander V. Massingbird, sailed from Rio on the 28th of September with Mr. Southern, the British Minister, and suite, for Buenos Ayres, where she ar rived on the sth of October; and by the last dates from that place (7th of October) Mr. Southern con tinued on board the steamer, but would land on the Bth it was expected. The barque Partheon (North American) was lost near Cape Frio a few days since on her passage from Liverpool. It is expected she will go to pieces before anything can be saved, on account of the high surf. The Crane packet has not yet arrived. One of the boys of the Kestrel packet was drowned off this harbour on the 24th ult. Exchange on London at 24. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER HALL. Handers glorious and sublime oratorio, the Mes siah, was performed here 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 voice, 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.) LONDON.
