Another extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Overland Bombay Mail, brings additional intelli genee of the position of our forces under the gallant and indefatigable EDWARDRS. It is a circumstance not unworthy of observation, that we look with in terest to the events transpiring in the suburbs of Moolfan, notwithstanding the remarkable occurrences which every day, and almost every hour, transpire in the different kingdoms and principalities of Christen dom. Leghorn may be sacked by a gang of political incendiaries ; Palermo may be bombarded by the mercenaries of the Ne.tpulitan tyrant ; Baden may be temporarily transformed into a Republic; Frank fort-on-the-Maine may run with the blood of massa cres, and ring with the shrieks extorted from its citizens by the torturing weapons of insurgent murderers ; Toulouse may resound with the shouts of Terrorism ; Catalonia may be dis tracted by the movements or CABRERA ; Denmark in one quarter, and Sardinia in another, m iy stand at hay before the formidable armaments of tkeir Auitrian and Prussian assailants, Whether on nit froatiers of :Schleswig or on the boundary line of LothlArdv.—yet the public attention f.,f Englishmen can find leiuro at intervals to gaze beyond the limits of Eur,:pe, bey ::ci Tu. k, , y and Persia, to the coun tri:-5, situated south o; - the vast. pains of the empire of art7ry. thi irnt kttiOng "NT,. the fur: no.tint ve .itilut , ,tratedi the oo 1 arpri6ing whe yt to oune:yes er in r L'. e movernen provinces or tb :1 7 ID oreovc ) the circutnst ;,nctn whit dokt tlf the rebilion'of n"p.pt lit Eir, I'o prey as reet t v at Caic ~~ r, ~;; u to t nsiOr EDWA g.tit 'd .nffr tU•a.f . l We i g lii( S t M:, , lTan, have bees cii,proved by the later lvices reeeiv , , , l triou Bombay. So far frog. awthing approximmi,: g ti calamit-us having tended to damp the etithwia-La of the soldiery, under ti eommz.nd of Meior EDWARDLS, CoioDel CORT LARDT, LietVenant LAKE, EMA.UM.COD-DEEN, and the repreentative of the Nswaub of Bahawulpore, it is certain that renewed courage and confidence had been imparted to them by the arrival of reinforcements front Lahore, and by the approaching increase of their farces by still further aid hastening towards Mooltan along the rivers of Sutlej, Chenab, and the Ravee. Nothing can therefore impede the progress of Major ED. WARDIS to a complete and decisive victory, espe cially when it is undoubted that the MOOLRAJ has only a few light four and six-pounder field-pieces to oppose to the eighteen and thirty-two pounders of our heavy artillery. It is expected, in consequence, that by this period the city has been captured by the English, either by storming it at the point of the bayonet, or by affrighting the inhabitants to a eapitulation by throwing some bombs and rockets over the ramparts. In either event the bloorateJ will find but a miserable protection in his ten thousand ruffianly supporters, the very scum of the Seikh population, men who w ill be as little disposed to yield before the muskets of the Europeans as were the Beloochees at the battle of Meeacee. Altogether the insurgent chief appears to be completely surrounded and circumvented. The jungle has been beaten in a circle—the circle has been gradually narrowing—by the next account we fear that we shall be infonneFl of a terrible battu of the Orientals. Whatever may be the result, the ultimate dispersion or extermination of the rebels appears to be inevitable. Precautions have been taken too systematically by Major EDWARDES to admit of merely a partial engagement. In a smaller way, the struggle at Mooltan promises to be as signal in its consequences as the tremendous encounter at Sobraon. A protracted cessation of conspiracies will follow tha destruction of the powers of the MoonnAJ. The guile of those Eastern Poten tates who are secretly inimical to our authority will be driven into an unnatural torpor for a period, and the distinguished behaviour of the subaltern En- WARDES will be recompensed not only by the presen tation of a gold medal from the Directory in Leaden hall-street, but by the renewal of a long interval of peace and prosperity. That such may be the conse quence is most earnestly to be desired by all those who can sympathise with the ambition of the late philanthropic DWARRANAUTII TAGORE in regard to the permanent civilization of the Asiatics. For the advancement of this civilization peace is the only possible medium, and with peace we doubt not that the footsteps of civilizA ion might be soon tracked even into that extraordinary capital, consisting of " a labyrinth of lofty alleys, rich with minarets, and bal conies, and carved oriels, to which the sacred apes clung by hundreds, and in the leiziars of which the muslins of Bengal and the sabres of Oude were min gled with the jewels of Golconda and the shawls of Cashmere"—that capital which is known and reve renced throughout the East as the holy city of Benares. In this respect our merchants are the pre cursors of our warriors, arid our warriors are the pioneers of civilization. The trial of Mr. SMITH O'BRTEN was proceeded with on Friday and Saturday, and it is now, in all human probability, verging on irs conclusion. Indeed, it may reasonably he expected, that the verdict will be returned this ♦ery day. The first question that arose on Friday morning related to the composition of the jury. The Learned Counsel for the defence having failed in the challenge to the array, which he had preferred the preceding day, applied to the Court that the jury should be selected by ballot in place of being taken in the order in which they had been placed by the High Sheriff. A similar application had been successfully made in the case of the Monmouth Chartists, the then Attorney-General, Sir JOHN (now Lord) CAMPBELL, having made no objection thereto. The Attorney-General for Ireland, however, resisted the motion on the present occasion, stating, " that if he yielded thereto it would imply that he conceived the Sheriff had not fairly and impartially discharged his duty in arraying the panel, and that he must, therefore, object to any departure from the usual practice." Now, with all respect for the opinion of the Learned Gentleman, we cannot conceive that any such implication could for a moment follow the con cession. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL did not cast any censure upon the High Sheriff of Monmouth when he declared " that it seemed to him a matter of the most perfect indifference in what manner or order the several jurors were called to the box." Neither is it supposed to imply a condemnation of that officer, that the juries, in Nisi Prius cases, where civil questions only are disposed of, are inva riably ballotted for from the general list. In Scot land, too, in all cases the jury are chosen by ballot from a list, a copy of which is furnished to the pri soner fifteen days before the trial, and the practice has given universal satisfaction, and has altogether prevented any of those imputations which, we regret to say, are so common in Ireland against the com position of the juries selected to try political cases. Where the ballot is allowed you hear nothing of packed juries, or of parties entering into an investi gation whose minds were previously made up as to what should be the result of the inquiry. It is true, that these complaints and insinuations are, in the great majority of cases, without any just or adequate foundation; but the administration of justice should be beyond the reach of calumny—far above suspicion. And any course that would effect that great deside ratum should be immediately adopted, and no matter of trivial importance or ancient practice should be permitted to stand in the way of a consummation so devoutly to be wished for. Another point was subsequently raised, it having been contended that the prisoner was entitled to his common-law right of challenging peremptirily thirty fire jurors, notwithstanding the provisions of the Act for the better administration of justice in Ire land, which especially limited the right of the accused, in cases of treason, murder, or other felony, to twenty challenges only, except upon due cause assigned. The Learned Counsel argued that the word treason in that statute applied to cases of petty treason only, and that it was so limited in conse quence of the context, the words " other felonies implying that the preceding crimes were of the nature of felony only. This point was, however, imme diately overruled. Indeed petty treason was abo lished by a previous Act, passed in the same session, by which it was- enacted (9 George IV., cap. 31, section 2) " that every offence which before the commencement of this Act would have amounted to petit treason, shall be deemed to be murder only, and no greater offence, and all persons guilty in respect thereof, whether as principals or accessaries, shall be dealt with, indicted, tried, and punished as principals and accessories in murder." This would clearly imply that the word " treason " in the subsequent statute (9 George IV., c. 64) could not mean " petit treason," which at that time had no existence. The jury was at length formed, the pri soner having exhausted the challenges allowed him by law ; and several parties having also been set aside on various grounds of objection, twelve gentlemen of high respectability were sworn in to return a true verdict in this most important case. We shall not now, while the case remains sub judice, make any allusion to the evidence brought forward in support of the charge, or the statement of the Attorney- General on behalf of the Crown. Although, in all human probability, any observations we might offer could not reach the hands of any parties in the immediate vicinity where the trials are taking place until after the termination of the proceedings, it is at all time 3 more prudent to avoid any topic which, by the remot&st possibility, could in the slightest degree interfere with the administration of justice, and create a prejudice for or against the person whose trial is r,ctu:.‘lly ~ .endiug. We sh,ll therefore ab .s!:ain from ali comtucet the suli,:et until there is a znc•Fz!..l (;crtiiity that !:.ur tth-trk , ;n any ipterrkl% , the , re .‘tilt 0! the proceedings. (FR , R[ A C')RhESPONDF.NT.) Momlay, the 10i:l! April, 1843, a day for ever memortthie in the history of am cou7,try, is a day to which every Eeglishman will recur With heartfelt exultation. It was a day which instantaLeously dis .pel!ed the long•Fatlierkg mists of apprehension, and G 6 Mr. MACAULAY has it), thin crash of empires, and the fail I,f thrones, attested the security of the British Constitution. Such were the happy conse quences of illonday, the 10th April ; but very different are the feelings with which we shall recur to Saturday, ' the 30th September. In our opinion, the events of the latter day for ever tarnish the glory or the pre. ceding. On the 10th of April the Chartists met with the fate their fully well deserved ; on the 30th Sep tember, on the contrary, they have been visited with a severity most uncalled for and most unjustifiable. The Chartists have been condemned to transportation for life ! to transportation for life, all but the severest penalty which the law can inflict—to trans portation for life, which is now generally deemed severe enough for the murderer! The severity of the sentence fills us with astonishment; with astonish ment and sorrow—and, we might add, with indigna tion also—but that we cannot believe that it will be really carried into effect. We cannot, we will not, believe it possible that under the auspices of a Liberal Government—of a Russell Government—such an act of unnecessary tyranny will really be carried into execution. Of unnecessary tyranny, we say ad visedly, for nothing can ever justify or sanction tyranny but necessity. The legitimate objects of the Chartists are progressing towards their attainment in a manner more consonant with the dignity ,of the interests they concern. The National Convention has done its worst, the monster petition is forgotten, or only remembered to be ridi culed. The triumph of peace and order throughout the British dominions is assured. Is this a time when arbitrary measures are sanctioned by expediency ? Not so. A worse moment could not by possibility have been selected. In the universal triumph of liberal principles, when thrones sacred by age, and Monarchs and Ministers, venerable for sagacity, are overthrown and annihilated because they pre sume to infringe upon the popular liberties, this inauspicious moment is seized upon by the liberal Government of England—a Government, be it re membered, which came into office by opposing Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Coercion Bill this moment is seized upon for the execution of an act of injustice, which, were they in opposition, that minority would be the loudest to denounce and the most vehement to oppose. But we are loath to bring our selves to such a belief—it will not be so. The sen tence has been passed, why we will not pretend to say ; but the sentence is not yet carried into execu tion. There is yet time for the extension of the saving hand. There is yet time fur the exercise of mercy and of justice also, and that mercy and that justice will not fail to be exercised if the Government but recal to mind the liberal principles to which they have pledged them selves—if they will but ask themselves how they would act if in opposition now. And, by the way, we would advise them not to let the acts of a Whig Ministry be always so much less liberal than the acts of a Whig Opposition, or the country will begin to reflect that, to all intents and purposes, the latter is productive of more public benefit than the former. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Journal des Debats publishes the following letter from Naples of the date of the 24th of Sep tember:— " The progress of our mediation between the King of Naples and Sicily is for the moment suspended. Unlooked-for exigencies have been raised, and those on a side from which we had a right to expect every facility to be given towards accommodation. The last accounts from Palermo announce that conferences were still going on between General Felangeri and the Sicilian Government; that the suspension of hostilities was mentioned, and that the French and English squadrons, stationed on the coast, still re mained in their respective positions. It is here, therefore, that the great interest of the question lays —it is here that an important difficulty has arisen. " The King no longer accepts the intervention of Franci and England in his quarrel with Sicily. After a formal acceptance of it, this sudden change, for which there is as yet no explained reason, has produced the most painful impression on every impar tial mind, because it is thought that it may lead to the most disastrous consequences. The mediation of France and England had for the last ten days been regarded as a fait accompli, and in reply to the account which Admiral Baudin forwarded to Paris he had received the most formal and explicit directions; there is, therefore, no doubt, that France will show herself to the mission of humanity which has been traced out to her by the late events at Messina. That mediation, at first accepted and now refused, France will be compelled to impose on the King of Naples; but whatever may be the reports in circu lation, we hope that things will not be allowed to proceed to that extremity." The letter then pro ceeds to show that all the difficulty which has arisen is to be attributed solely to the Court of Naples, the Sicilians having shown themselves willing to listen to terms, and proceeds The work of peace under taken by England and France, under the most fa vourable auspices, is for the moment impeded. We are willing to hope that the difficulty which has arisen will not be insurmountable, although it is said that the refusal of the King is most formal, and that orders have been given for the immediate commence ment of hostilities. It is further said (but it is the most violent Royalists who have spread the report) that the King will not recoil before any injunction, but will maintain his right of repression with regard to Sicily. But in spite of all this it is still hoped by many that the firm and energetic observations which will be made by the commanders of the French and English squadrons, will not fail to produce a salutary impression on the mind of his Majesty. " Admiral Baudin, whose health is completely re stored, will to-day leave Ischia and hoist his flag on board the Friedland, and Admiral Trehouart, who has the command of the division before Messina, is on board the steam-frigate the Panama." This vacillation, or, to speak more correctly, this gross breach of his word on the part of the Bourbon who at present misgoverns Naples is to be attributed mainly, if not solely, to the intrigues of the English Tory aristocracy, who have formed an alliance offen sive and defensive with the "Man of Ghent," the object of which is to restore to the Foreign Office eet excellent ABERDEEN, with M. GUJZOT as his Mentor. The Ne,,politan Bourbon, however, has gone too far; after the mediation has been accepted by both parties, it is not in the power of one alone of them to withdraw; and if France chooses to enforce her award by arms, and to blow Naples about his ears, the English people would not permit any Mi nister to interfere to prevent it. The Democratic and Socialist Banquet, at 21. a head, was held on Saturday, at a wine- house, at the Barriere de Sevres, and mustered between 1,000 and 1,200 guests, among whom were MM. Joly and Mule (de la haute Garonne), and several other representa tives. A great many toasts were given, and among them—' A. nos Freres absens,' Au Droit au Tra vail,' Ala Regeneration Sociale,' Ala Republique Democratique et Sociale,' Aux Democrates So cialistes du Quatrieme Arrondissement.' M. Joly, who presided at a large square table placed in the garden, because the saloons were not spacious enough to accommodate the number assembled, proposed Ala Fraternite et I l'Alliance des Peuple!' This toast was drunk with loud cheers and cries of Vive la li•Spublique Deinocratique et Sociale ! Vive Res pell! Vive les Martyrs ae Juin qui getnissent dans lee cachots At nine o'clock the banquet broke up, after having made a collection for the benefit of the families of the insurgents of June, and returned into Paris making the air resound with patriotic songs. The authorities had taken every necessary measure for the preservation of order; strong detachments of troops of the line with their arms piled were stationed in the environs; but happily those precautions were needless. Socialist banquets have been held at Aveyron and in other parts of France. The following speech, made at the Lyons banquet, in proposing the toast— " To the Abolition of Financial Feudality," is another proof of the existence of an alliance between the old Nobility and the Communists for the plunder of the industrious classes : " Aft r three revolutions, the object of which was the abolition of all privileges, France is still subjected to the regime of financial fcudality. The Govern ment of the Republic has recognised its right of sovereignty, and France will pay a budget, which, according to political economists, will amount at least from four to five milliards a year; that is to say that she will take, as in past days, the half of the value of the national produce. Feudality of the nobility had tbr motto noblesse oblige;' financial leuiality Chaeun pour sot*: Ihe latter does not rep, se on like the former ; it has neither country nor religion; in place of a heart would be found a crown piece. During the rig'ateen years which have ju.t expired, everything ha , be::;ome a pr,.y to imatiahle cupidity, it has scalped up all the mud to seek for gold. Where is reacti,n ? It is in financial feuda liry. The retOrm s that are required are the abolition of commercial monopoly, and the despoisin of the wrong box. Citizens , f all cias , es, join my voice in demanding the abolition of financial feudality, and the Republic is safe. Vice la Republique.' " The Moniteur publishes the following contradiction of a report that the French Government had, at the request of England, deli vere d up one of the Irish I • rebels, who is said to have taken refuge at Havre : " Several journals have spoken of the extradition of an Irishman, who is a refugee at Havre, in conse quence of the Liberal movement of which Ireland has just been the theatre, and in which he had just taken Hart. The only answer to make is this —no extra dition has been granted nor even demanded of the Minister of Justice, who alone is competent in such a case. Every demand of that nature, from whatever side it might come, could not fail to be repulsed. French hospitality, which at all times has covered political proscripts, will not abandon them under the Republican Government." The Committee on the Constitution have deter mined, by a majority of 10 to 4, to recommend that the election of President of the Republic shall be by universal suffrage. The board of directors of the Strasburg Railway have published a notice formally contradicting certain rumours which were in circulation, of its being the intention of the Government to take possession of the line. The notice declares that the company is quite able to finish the line without any assistance from any quarter, and that the section from Paris to Epernay will, before long, be opened to the public. At the commencement of the sitting of the Na tional Assembly yesterday,M. DUVIGNIER, according to notice, brought the Italian question under the notice of the Assembly, and asked if it was true that the French Government had recognised the rights of Austria over Italy ? General CAYAIGNAC replied that if France had recognised the rights of Austria over Italy, there would be no occasion for the mediation in which they were now engaged; but he asked of the Assembly, in the present state of the question, for leave not to enter into any further explanations. M. LEDRU ROLLIN then rushed to the tribune, and in a very violent speech attacked the foreign policy of the Government as too tame, and denounced the treaties of 1815. M. CRETON found fault with the foreign policy the Provisional Government. General CATAIGNAC, in reply to M. LEDRU ROLLIN, declared that he did not like the treaties of 1815 more than M. LaDRU ROLLIN himself, as was shown by his entering into a mediation, the object of which was to destroy those treaties. M. DuvioNIER then proposed a motion to the effect that France ought not to regard the pretensions of Austria, and that she ought to demand the complete emancipation of Italy. This motion was rejected, and a scene of some confusion followed, in the course of which several motions were made and rejected, but ultimately the order of the day was carried by a majority of 441 to 836. Louis NAroLvoN and his two cousins voted in the minority. The report of the Finance Committee has been pre sented to the Assembly ,by M. BINEAU. The total amount of the estimates for the expenditure of the current year, and the credits already voted by the Assembly for that object, amount to 1,836,849,915". The committee proposes that this amount shall be reduced to 1,776,935,277 f. The total amount of the estimated receipts for the whole of the current year amount to 1,407,682,8181., including the 45 centimes tax. Consequently there will be a deficit for the year, supposing the expenditure do not exceed the estimates (which is not at all likely), of at least 309 millions of francs. To cover this deficiency, says the report, the Treasury will have, in the first place, a sum of about 20 millions derived from the loan of 450 millions, and applicable to the public works, the execution of which is regulated by the Act of 1841. ,Besides thia, it has the following resources. The loan of the 24th of July will pro duce 177} millions of francs; the loan given by the shareholders of the Lyons Railway will pro duce 54 millions, and the loan advanced by the Bank 160 millions. The whole amounts to 381 millions and a half of francs. These several loans add 65 millions of Berates to - the consolidated debt, but they assist in diminishing the floating debt. After the general resume of the financial position for the year, M. BINEAU then examines the question as to the expenses to be diminished, and declares that, in respect to the public debt, there is no saving to be effected. He also de clares that no saving can be made in the budget of the army, and very little in that of the navy. The budget for the war department is in fact aug mented to the amount of 207,984,342 francs. It will, therefore, amount for the present year to 432,254,724 francs ; and the army at the end of the present year will amount to 502,715 men and 100,295 horses. The principal reductions proposed by the Committee are in the general service of the different departments of the Administration. The salaries of all ambassadors, judges, prefects, council lors of state, 'professors of colleges, bishops, clergy men, &c., are to be cut down to a great extent. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, OCT. 2.

CABRERA is again up and doing in Catalonia. After having conveyed to a place of safety in the mountains a quantity of treasure and several horses, the fruits of his various recent expeditions, he made a descent upon the town of Garniga, six leagues only from Barcelona, burned the gates, entered the town, drove the garrison into the citadel, and levied a heavy contribution. Several arrests of persons connected with secret clubs took place at Madrid on the night of the 26th September. MADRID BOLA, SEPT. 27.—Threes, 19/ ; Fives 10i. Exchange on London, 48. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES, AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND CROATIA. It was rumoured at Vienna, on th e 27th, that the BAN JELLACHICH was under the wa ll a o f P es th. Th e Cologne Gazette of the Ist Octob er h as th e f o ll ow i ng under the athrefahtee must adPesths, 2 3i September:-- be de c id e d. E ac h cour i er brings bad tidings. Archduke Stephen left the army, assembled at Stuhlweissenbur g , in great haste, or in other words, he fled—in the hour of danger he proved false to his country. An immense responsibility, however, weighs on his shoulders; his flight was the signal of the breaking up of the army. Jellachich has this day entered Stuhlweissenburg, and without one blow from our cowardly troops ; he is now eight short miles (German miles) from Pesth—and what will ilcome next ? The Emperor will dissolve the Hungarian Diet, the Ministries will be removed once more to Vienna ; the short dream of Hungarian independence is past. But that is not all. The wildest passions have been aroused. The Slovaks of the south have been aroused, and their battle-cry is resounding in all the de files of the Carpathian mountains. Will all these wild hordes retire to their dens at a wink of the Emperor as early as they come Out of them ? Does the Servian and the Slave fight only for the Hunga rian Ministries to be removed to Vienna? No, that is only the first act of the tragedy; the war between the imperial royal armies may then be at an end, but the war of races will then commence, and the nation alities of all will have to be placed on an equal foot ing, or this holy kingdom' will be divided Into two Slavonic and one Magyar state." The Allgenceine Oesterrischiche Zeitung of the 27th ult. contains the Billowing : " It has pleased his Majesty the Emperor .to ap• point Lieutent Field-. Marshal C mot Larnberg (a born Ilungarian) to the functions of Royal Hnnpta rian Commisary, placing under his orders the t' °" P% Granter (frontier r- giments) and guards, not excepti ng t h e Croatians. His Majesty d ema nds toe i mmed i ate suppress ion of the civil war in Iluegary, and h as t h ere f ore ordained that an ar tnistice do take place forthwith between the contend ing parties, and that troops be in.imediuely sent to It is doubted grea tly w hether JIELLACIIICII will put down the Scla von i e i nsu rrection in Moravia." obey this order and withdraw his Croatians, or whether they will obey him, should he order them to retire. In the meantime the Hungarians are not inactive. KOSSUTH has addressed a proclamation to all honest Hungarians, inviting them to unite with him in saving ;he country. In the sitting o f the Lower H ouse on the 24 th KOSSUTH mounted th e f o rum, and stated that he had received authority f rom the Prime Minister to egaeltihteirpean them ," roundhi e tn xe t l h a e im ieldunhgea, "to exterminate the Hungarian people. " I shall fiendish brood.

If any one is desirous of accompanying me he must do so instantly.— (Cries of 'I, I.') There are others, also, who will be more useful in another sphere ; let them also depart, and the people will flock round the standard of freedom. It will be assigned to each individual the district in which he is to work. If I look around me at Pesth I see many capable of bearing a rms , which alone can inspire the enemy with respect. L e t all come, and if they have no weapons at least th e y have cudgels and stones, with which each may kill his man, and we shall be saved. Here, in Pesth, not one tradesman shall sell his goods while the rest are.carrying arms. All the magazines shall be closed for a time.—(Applause.) The public authorities will this day hold a popular assembly. Finally, the Legislative Assembly may, if needful, suspend its sittings for a time, and name a period for re commencing them. Up! up ! (to the people.) Follow me who can." Thus saying, KOSSUTH left the Assembly. The sittings are not to be suspended, but the Mem bers are to appoint a committee from among them selves. No deputy is allowed to leave the city without permission. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. In the sitting of the Frankfort Parliament of the 29th ult. the following resolutions were adopted : " A member of the Constituent Imperial Assembly, reckoning from the moment of his election, or his substitute, reckoning from the moment on which the commission of the member expires, cannot be either arrested or prosecuted in a criminal court during the session of Parliament without the assent of the Impe rial Assembly, saving and excepting he be surprised in the commission of an act. In this latter case the Imperial Assembly is to be forthwith apprised of the measures that have been resorted to, and it has au thority to order the suspension of the arrest or prose cution until the close of the session. The Imperial Assembly may also apply the same authority to the case of an arrest or prosecution that was already pend ing against a member at the tine of his election."— Carried. 2. " No member may at any time he prosecuted in a court of law or otherwise called to account, beyond the precincts of the 'louse of Assembly, either for his vote in the Imperial Assembly, or for expressions he may have given utterance to in the exercise of his vocation."—Carried. The last two motions were then taken together, and adopted almost unanitnously as a definite law. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. ICIEr, SEPT. 27.—The Prussian Major-General BONIN is to be Commander-in-Chief of the troops of Schleswig-Holstein. The Provisional Government intends to establish itself at Schleswig. The deputy, STEDTMAN, has arrived as commissary of the empire at Rendsbourg. PRUSSIA. Baron STOCKMAR arrived at Berlin on the 28th ult., in order to confer with M. REEDTZ, the Danish agent, and with the Prussian Government, on the affairs of the Duchies. The National Assembly has rejected the clause of the Constitution declaring that titles of nobility shall be abolished, and adopted an amendment of JAcouy's, by which all privileges or exemptions claimed by the nobility shall be done away with. The conduct of the Governor of Cologne, i❑ pro claiming that city in a state of siege before any con flict whatever had taken place, has been disapproved of by the Assembly. The proclamation of the state of siege will be immediately revoked. BAVARIA. The city of Munich was in a state of great excitement on the 27th ult., in consequence of the arrest of several persons, accused of being republicans. BADEN. The Gazette of Carliruhe, of Sept. 30, says that STRUVE is in the hands of justice, and that some persons call for his immediate execution. This course it deprecates, and asserts that the legal forms should not be departed from in his case. The Mercury of Suabia, of same date, says that it was reported he had been condemned by a court-martial, and shot at ten in the morning of the 28th, but doubts the accu racy of the report. The same journal publishes two reports from General florist" announcing the re establishment of order. A letter from Wiesbaden, of the 27th ult., states ;hat— "The Nassau troops, on their return from Schles wig-Holstein, marched in here this morning from Schwalbach, en route for Mannheim, but upon being ordered out again towards Erbenheim and Bierstadt, they positively refused to obey, and in the presence of the General and his aide-de-camp, declared, that if they were obliged to go, they had made up their minds to join the rebels, and actually called out 'Es lebe die Republic' in the presence of the Duchess, who with one of her daughters happened to be passing at the moment. One of the officers, addressing his men, begged that they would not disobey old officers under whom they had served with so much honour, and commanded them to march on, but several, whom I heard myself call out to the others to halt, seemed determined to set their superiors at defiance, and I expected every moment to see them deprived of all command. They did, however, march at last, though in a state of great excitement and apparent disorder. The artillery, in particular, hare of late exhibited anything but anti-republican principles, with every disposition to riot and disobedience." ITALY. ROME. The Roman Gazette of the 24th contains the pro gramme of the Rossi Ministry. The following is the political profession of faith of the Count Rossi " To the Ministry belongs the obligation to protect the governmental institutions, as well against the at tempts of those who would desire to retrograde towards principles and usages which have now ceased to exist, and which cannot again be revived, as against the attempts of those, obeying the impulse of art over excited imagination, or moved by a perverse will, would go beyond the limits assigned by the en lightened and generous restorer of our liberties. Such is the office and the duty of the new Government of his Holiness, and this duty it will accwrplish to the extent of its power; but in order to obtai❑ success it will require the co-operation and moral adhesion of all well-thinking minds. The Statuto di Stato is the corner-stone on which our political edifice reposes. That stone has been placed by Pius IX , and who ever shall attempt to move it would be guilty of in gratitude and outrage against the Sovereign. We repeat that respect for and observance of the laws of the State is the rigorous rule of duty which the new Government has imposed on itself to follow !" The first care of the new Government (says the Gazette) will be directed to the restoration of the finances of the State. This embarrassment of the public treasury has been principally caused by the bad management of its resources. According to re ports current M. Rossi will provide for actual wants by a loan with a great northern Power, which has shown a disposition to grant the required as istance. General Zuccm will, it is said, be appointed nister at War. LOMBARD Y. A letter has been received from Peschiera, of the 221 ult., which states that at the moment when the great park of artillery belonging to the King of SARDINIA wai about being rctriowd on its return to Piedinout, it WRti again brought back, and the com missaries of war- who accompanitd it were made prisoners. NAPLES. Tlle King of NAPLES, after having accepted the mediation of Fiance and Eng►land in the affairs Sicily, has without reason ibsigned, repudiated his iormer acceptance, and ordered the immediate re sumption of hostilities. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Richard on, a woman of notorious character, was placed before Mr. Hint-ham, charged with annoying and assaulting Mr. Archibald _Hamilton, short-hand writer and reporter, residing in Bedford -street, South wark-bridge-road. The complainant stated, that last night, about seven o'clock, he was proceeding through Leicester•square, when the prisoner came up to him, and annoyed him by her importunities. lle desired her to go away. She refused, and calling him by the foulest epithets, struck him several blows in the face. A constable at that moment came up, and took the prisoner into custody. In defence, the prisoner said that the complainant in sulted her in a very indelicate manner, and because she resented the insult he gave her in charge. Complainant indignantly denied the prisoner's asser tion, and Mr. Bingham committed her to the House of Correction for seven days, with hard labour. LORD J. RUSSELL.—The Premier, after enjoying himself for three days at Inverury Castle, us the guest of the Duke and Duchess of Argyle, left on Friday morn ing last, via Dslmally, on a . visit to Mr. M`Dougall, of Dunolly Castle, the lineal representative of the Lords of Lorne. His Lordship intend( dto leave Oban on Satur day morning on a trip to St4ffa and lons. His Lord ship's subsequent movemt nts were not precisely known; but it was expected that before leaving this part of the country, they would visit Glencoe and the Black Mount, where he would be received by the Marquis of Breadal bane. Lord John performs his marine trips in the Ban- shee, one of the swiftest of the Government steamers. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 2.—The royal mail steam • ship Great Western, under the command of Captain Clarke, left this afternoon for the West Indies, with the usual West India mails. She had about eighty passen gers, and a large and valuable cargo, amongst which was specie to the value of 44,2631. The Ocean Steam Navi gation Company's steam-ship Washington, having left New York on the 20th tilt., may be looked for in the course of tomorrow. Some of the oldest dry goods jobbing-houses in New Yoi k had suspended ps) merit, but most of the suspen sioni were of new houses, which had not been in busi ness above two or three years, and overtraded. The commerce of New Orleans during the year end ing the Ist September amounted in value to 79,779,151 dollars, against 90,033,256 dollars in 1846-7. The Corn Market in Canada had been higher, but sympathised with that of New York, and became flatter before the date of our present advices. The accounts from Calcutta, Bombay, &e., have not belied the expectation excited by the previous arrival. A very fair sale was obtained for cotton and woollen manufactures, metals, and other articles imported from England, while a decline in freights and an easy state of things in the money market would assist the produce markets. The Union Bank affair, like too many other similarly disgraceful occurrences, was expected to sink into comparative oblivion, though not to be soon forgotten by the unfortunate shareholders. One would think that shareholders generally must be the most good-natured people in the world to put up so tamely with such malpractices, and it would almost seem desirable to appoint a public prosecutor of delinquent or even careless directors and managers. They should answer with their purse, if not in their person. The following brief reference to the state of the pro• duce markets during the last two or three weeks is fur nished by Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury:— " Latterly a better business has been done, at full rates; importers have shown every disposition to meet the views of the buyers, and have supplied the markets freely; the stocks continue to accumulate, notwithstand ing the increased deliveries for home consumption, which have been considerable. From the manufacturing dis tricts the accounts continue favourable, particularly from the woollen districts, where large orders are in course of execution, chiefly for the Home trade. The state of the markets, as received by the last accounts from India, which, though they show an improved demand for British manufactures, at better prices, are not so encouraging as at first appeared, the low rate of ex change, viz. Is. 9d. to Is. 91d. more than compensating for the advance upon goods ; this, together with the gloomy aspect of affairs on the continent, have caused prices for cotton yarn, &c., to give way a little, the German merchants being almost totally disinclined to operate under present circumstances." The English Stock Market has been very dull to-day, but tolerably firm considering the importance which some would attach to the state of affairs at Naples, but which we have no doubt will prove " a nine days' wonder," and result in the re-acceptance of mediation, supposing, which may be doubted, that such has been positively rejected since it was acquiesced in.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. Sales, 3,500 to 4,000 bales. American sorts realised 31d. to 6,1. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done, but without any improvement in prices. We have voluminous accounts, per Hibernia, from the United State s an d C ana d a, b ut we need only add a few !items to what appears in another colamn of The Sun. The exports of specie from New York during the week to Sept. 16 amounted to 171,000 dollars, chiefly to France and Bermuda. The exports of goods during the same period was estimated at 605,000 dollars, of which 183,000 dollars to England, and 47,000 dollars to France. Thu exports to the latter country were increasing. In the /mice of State Stocks there was no particular alteration, and the dealings were limited. The amount of Government Stock (the new loan) issued on foreign account was nearly 2,000,000 dollars in six vreeeks. This amount was issued direct from the Treasury, besides what had been bought in the open m irket, and the discredit lately thrown upon European securities has no doubt contributed to that result. It is supposed that about 5,000,000 dollars will be held by foreigners, and as the loan is for the federal Government, not for any particular state, the security is undeniable. Still we could wish that our capi talists sought employment for their surplus assets nearer home.
