Morning .. 7 mia. after 6 Evening .. 26 vain. after 6 0 LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1848. We have this morning had sent to us a report of the judgment of Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in the case of , Mr. G. W. Dimom (to which we alluded on Saturday in our observations on Capt. DIXON'S letter), and I which appears in the Bristol Mirror of the 9th of September. As Captain DIXON states in his letter, Mr. Baron ALDERSON in his judgment declares that Sir GEORGE PREVOST'S conduct was highly praise worthy, and not the least to be blamed, and that the conduct of Dr. Fox in the transaction had been perfectly blameless ; but Captain DIXON omits to state that his Lordship also declared that he had nothing to complain of the society for having brought forward the case in question. This was scarcely ingenuous on the part of Captain DIXON, if we are to consider him in the light of an impartial observer, but if we are to consider him as the advo cate merely of Sir GEORGE PREVOST and Dr. Fox, then it may be considered allowable. The Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society, however, stands in no need of the testimony of even Mr. Baron ALDERSON to its character. It has only been in existence three years, and it ha , restored to liberty some scores of persons who, but for its interference, would at this moment have been unjastly incarcerated in lunatic asylums. Captain DIXON complains of the existence of self-constituted societies supplementary to the law of the land, and if the law of the land were perfect there might be some reason for his complaint ; but while such cases as those of Mr. DAVIS, of Mr. PATERNOSTER, of Mr. CAMPBELL, and of Mrs. CUMMING are of constant re currence, so long wit the existence of this society " supplementary to the law of the land" be necessary. But Captain DIXON is scarcely correct in calling the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society merely supplemen tary to the law of the land. It certainly is so in one sense, inasmuch as one of its objects is to procure by legislative enactment an amendment of the law, but, in the souse in which Captain DIXON alludes to it, the society is one not supplementary, but for en forcing obedience to the law of the land, and for ascer taining that those safeguards which the law has pro vided to secure the liberty of the subject from being trifled with under the pretence of insanity shall lie duly and properly; observed. We freely admit that Sir GEORGE PREVOST is a high-minded and an upright gentleman—we freely admit that he had a sufficiently painful task to perform; but that painful task and that painful responsibility which he assumed was forced upon him by the law. Had the law re quired that, previous to the incarceration of any person as an alleged lunatic, a public inquiry should take place into the sanity or insanity of the person so accused, Sir GEORGE PREVOST would never have incurred the painful responsibility which he was forced to incur, Dr. Fox would have been enabled to receive Mr. G. W. DixoN into his asylum, without sending his servants riding about the country hunting up an apothecary to sign a second medical certificate, and the society would have been spared the expense of instituting an inthvhesatviegation after incarceration, which the law ought caused to be instituted before. It is absurd to argue as we have heard it argued, that the feelings of relativ es would be greatly shocked by the institution of Well preliminary investigation.isnt Where property is concerned the law tender of the feelings of ' relatives. Then a public investigation is always insti tuted, and in many cases, the l case of M. CAMPBELL, (who was an inmate of a n 'a for fourteen years, but who at the end of that pseYriuorudLbecame entitled to Lure ice Inquirendo property, when a Commission de was issaed), it is discovered that the u person who has upon the st rengt h bee n been incarcerated. in a ma dh ouse of two medical certificates ha s never But in this, as in many other instances, mad a t a ll . our of the is infinitely more careful of the property than lib e rty of the subject. It m a y be said that the inspection by the Commissioners of Lu nacy is a safeguard, but that inspection, as at present managed, is worse than useless. In the neighbourhood of this very asylum of Northwoods, is another asylum, in which the visiting magistrates have discovered such irregularities that they have renewed the license for only six months, and that on the understanding that the proprietor shall dispose of it, while the Commissioners of Lu nacy, who have from time to time inspected, or pretended to inspect, this very asylum, speak of it in very favourable terms. The fact is, that from the paucity of their numbers, it is physically impos sible that the Commissioners of Lunacy can perform their duties. While the law continues in its present state the necessity for the existence of this society will continue, and it is only 'when the law shall perform those duties in all cases which the society, in spite of difficulties innumerable, endeavours to perform in some few, that the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society can safely cease from its labours. The last annual report of the Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages contains something more than an abstract of the births, deaths, and marriages registered during the last year. It contains a faithful but melancholy retrospect of the fluctuations of trade and the vicissitudes of th popular condition during recent years. It contains, moreover, what is far more valuable—a very lucid exposition of the causes which have contributed to the recent depression, or rather stagnation in trade, and some very valuable sugges tions, which, if generally adopted, would prevent any future recurrence of a similar calamity from being pro ductive of such a state of suffering as has recently afflicted us. The retrospect unfolded in this report, ranging from 1841 to 1848, embracing the years of plenty and the years of privation, presents a subject of deep importance and powerful interest to the con sideration of the political economist and the philan thropist. The former will exult over the records of such years as 1846, when trade was seemingly at the ne plus ultra of prosperity, and " demand" and " sup ply" went hand in hand in the race of reciprocal benefi cence, while the latter will sigh over the heart-breaking chronicle of the years Hof panic and privation. In order to facilitate his statistical explanations, and the better to illustrate the theory which he has based upon them, the Registrar has taken the case of one individual town, Birmingham, as an example for all the rest. In 1845, 1846, and 1847 trade was re markably active at Birmingham. Various causes co-operated to promote this activity ; but, whatever the causes, the effects were unmistakeably apparent, and are thus described in the Registrar's report : " Because there was a demand for double the usual quantity of goods the retailers' shelves were emptied ;' all the workmen were fully employed and worked over time ; the masters meanwhile realised liberal profits ; the men's wages were raised, and boys got the wages of men, for promotion among 'these gardes mobiles of in dustry is rapid in times of crisis. Youths married, and furnished houses or lodgings ; the expenditure of fami lies increased ; employers enlarged their establish ments, and young men opened new factories—for this extraordinary prosperity appeared at the time per petual." But a change was at hand. " Experience," so continues the Registrar, " proves that this prosperity has but a limited term ; and, viewed calmly at a dis ance, there appears no reason why all the world, if they buy twice as many lamps, buttons, fire-irons, &c., in any given three years, should do the same in the three years following, but, on the contrary, it is probable that the abundant stock of articles laid in will not be consumed immediately. Is it not quite possible, then," he asks, " that Birmingham, at the same time that its permanent trade was extended, did part of the trade, anticipated the profits, and earned the wages of future years in the three years 1844, 1845, 1846?" This is an exceedingly ingenious and most plausible supposition, but we should hesitate fully to coincide with it, nevertheless. According to the established doctrines of political economy, con sumption multiplies with more than geometrical progression. The greater the quantity of anything consumed, the more will be required, and the more will be consumed again, and so on for ever. This rule, however, like many others, works better in theory than in practice. But whether the Regis trar's supposition be correct or no, there cannot be two opinions as to the excellence of the advice that he has based upon it—namely, frugality in time of prosperity, as a preservation against suffer ing in the time of scarcity. This advice is, in the main, excellent, and, as we have said, there cannot be two opinions. Still, in accord ance with the doctrines of the political economist, we could not, even in this instance, entirely agree with the propositions of the Registrar. He says, and with sufficient plausibility, that it is only when wages and profits are expended, as well as gained in prosperous years, that the population is afterwards distressed, panic struck, and driven to the brink of ruin. This assertion is indeed not only plausible, but to a certain extent truthful. Prosperity, and especially sudden and un looked-for prosperity, too often engenders a wasteful and reckless extravagance, which, as.is daily evidenced by families and individuals, only results in ruin and mi sery. A sober frugality is, next to industry, undoubtedly , the best preservative against want. But the Regis trar's theory (if we do not misapprehend his mean ing) goes beyond this. He speaks of the " lean" years following the " fat" years, and it is evident he had the history of the son of JACOB in his mind. His proposition of putting aside the products of the day of plenty, in order to use them in the day of want, is an exact counterpart of the system by which Egypt was preserved. That system, originally most successful, would undoubtedly be similarly successful under similar circumstances. If it were as certain that the day of panic must suc ceed the day of plenty, as it is that winter must suc ceed to summer, then, indeed, the plea of hoarding up might be very advantageously advocated. But as it is such a system would only be productive of the evils it is now intended to counteract. The diffusion of capital is well known to be the best stimulus to trade, and the best preservative of prosperity. Hav ing thus expressed our dissent from this particular assertion of the Registrar, we can the more heartily concur in his denunciations of extravagance and im providence, and the more conscientiously commend the philanthropical tenor of his remarks. . • .a-.' .:. , ,-, :ty ' ... 4. v otoTv A I. ‘ ' ', ..,;: rjr,... ° • •A 4 ,, , , c;s,l --; • . 4 1Trw ' ~ 4) , Ok - Jo" -: ' 111liAt . .!.,'_ • - ... -y- .-- --.> • THE SUN, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The elections were going on, and Paris remained perfectly tranquil. The Nationa says that the list of the rotes of the army and the Invalides published in the Freese of the preceding day, and quoted in The Sun of yesterday, was incorrect, and that the real state of the poll is as follows: — Louis-Napoleon ... Edmond Adam ... Fould ... 4,758 ... 2,317 ... 2,310 Bugeaud I)elessert Roger Girardin Thore Say (Horace) Raspail Gervais ... Cabet Kersausie ... 2,228 ... 1,663 ... 1,132 ... 1,111 ... 968 900 ... 853 ... 755 ... 599 ... 331 The list published in the Presse gave to M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN the third place instead of the seventh. This is an electioneering trick worthy of a manager of the Carl ton Club. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN profits by the instructions of his Tory friends. More than 2,000 Invalides recorded their votes for the nephew of the EMPEROR. It is generally imagined that Prince Louis NAPOLEON and M. ACIIILLE FOULD will be the successful candidates, and that the contest will be between M. EDMOND ADAM and Marshal BuGEAVD for the third seat. Several of the soldiers who have served in Africa have recorded their votes for the Marshal. The Journal des Debuts says that upwards of 6,000 soldiers of the army of the Alps, who have votes for Paris, have voted for the Marshal. The number, however, is probably exaggerated. The funeral of M. CHARLES D'Aiteaori, the represen tative in the Assembly for Tarn, took place yester day. The funeral was attended by M. THIERS, to whom the deceased had been private secretary in 1830, and between whom the strictest friendship bad existed since that period. The funeral oration was pronounced by M. GARNIER PAGES. In consequence of the representations of the Austrian Ambassador, the mission of M. PASCAL Du- PRAT to Hungary has been postponed. For s ome d ays past rumours o f an a l arm i ng na turehave been cir cu l a t e d i n P ar i s , as t o the machi nations of the clubbists. On this subject we find the following in the Debate " Fo r Snrne days b past Paris has lost that aspect of calm and order not, for succeeded to the ten ible days of June. We do credit than it is or o ur parts, with to attach more which are in cir culatio n . reaso na blel to do to the 'alarming ru moursasserted, that the secretesu a . tio . n. If it be true, as it is are e cieties are more strongly or ganized than ever, and to:fresh combats, we are neverthe less to deliver over society willing to believe that they are far fr om h av i ng an intention to do so, and 1 that the chiefs themselves will recoil before the fright ful. idea of again plunging the capital into all the horrors of civil war. We are willing to believe that the agita tion which' is observable, and which causes great anxiety to all good citizens" is but the emotion insepa rable from a period when the right of universal suffrage is being exercised in the choice of fresh representatives. We cannot, however, conceal from ourselves that there are alarming symptoms, which with reason, cause uneasiness to the lovers of order. The clubs have for some time past again raised their tribunes, and served as the hotbed for the most incendiary pas sions. They have uttered the most guilty appeals; the most sacred laws of society have been there denounced to the misguided multitude as the cause of all their mi sery, and menaces of death have been there made against the most eminent men of our unfortunate country. The audacity of the anarchical factions has gone, if possible, still further; and only on Saturday they dared, in the Bourse, to violently attack a party of peaceable citiiens, who, under the protection of the law had assembled in that building to discuss the merits of the candidates who had solicited the honour of being elected to the National Assembly. The moderation and the spirit of peace which the electors of the 2d arrondissement displayed on this occasion alone prevented the salle from becoming a scene of outrage and violence. "If we were inclined to insi s t further on this deplo rable subject, we might bring forward many more symptoms equally alarming; but, we repeat, we are anxious to believe that the factions who thus conspire reckon too much on the agitation produced, both by existing distress and by the circumstance of the elections. " They will, we trust, be mistaken; but cruel expe rience should have taught all good citizens that to keep in check the eternal enemies of order and society, they must support and not abandon the cause of order them selves; let them then show themselves; let them not wait the appeal to the cannon and to the musket to show the country that the majority are honest men; let them, while there is yet time, perform their duties as electors and good citizens; let not a guilty carelessness, or sense less disagreements, come to the assistance of a dan gerous minority, for the sole reason that it is well dis ciplined by mischievous men. Will it be again seen that well-disposed men do not know how to concert together to effect a good purpose? Under circumstances so serious as those in which we are now placed it is im possible to believe that it will be so; all good citizens will surely comprehend what they owe to their country and to society.' There have been some riots at Metz, on account of a rise in the price of bread. In Dordogne there have been several cases of incendiarism. Several cases of Asiatic cholera have appeared in Paris within the last two days. In the National Assembly yesterday the sth and Gth clauses of the Constitution were agreed to, and the 7th was under discussion when the post left. The Assembly has rejected the proposition for the abolition of the punishment of death in all cases. PARIS BOURSE.-MONDAY, SEPT. 18. THREE O'CLOCK.—The business on the Bourse to-day was very limited, and there was a general indisposition to enter into new trans ac ti ons , b u t th e prices remained firm, and closed precisely at the prices of Saturday. In the Railway Shares the variations are so trifling that they are. not worth noticing: Almost all the .lines are firm. Bons du Ti*or remain at 22i per cent. dis count.

Madrid papers of the 13th have arrived, but they contain no news. LONDON, GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Letters from Vienna of the 10th state that Lord PALMERSTON has signified to Lord Poxsomn - that England joins France in insisting that the proposals made by Austria on the 9th of August shall be adopted as the basis of the negotiations on the subject of the settlement of the Austro-Italian question. These proposals included the abandonment of Lom bardy by Austria, and by them Austria refuses to abide since RIDETZIT'S victories. In reference to the disorders of which Vienna was :he theatre, on the 12th, the Wiener Zeitung says— " The events of to-day, the theatre of which was the Ministry of the Interior, cannot but deeply grieve every true lover of liberty. The burghers most cherished right—the sanctity of his domestic hearth—was grossly violated; and the circumstance is the more to be re gretted, for this house is a house of the nation, and the man whose privileges were thus invaded and (threatened was the First Minister of the nation. There can be no liberty without law, and no law unless the same is re spected. How can liberty become the sure bulwark of our people—after the noble example of England—if the first officer of the State is to be compelled by threats, demonstrations, and violence, to assent to that which the law does not sanction? "The National Guard, which was hastening to the protection of the Minister, was compelled to retire. The mob then forced the doors, and entered the apartments of the academic legion. " It is not liberty, but liberties, which are the aim of a certain party, and as long as this is the case we can not hope for any improvement in the state of our affairs." In the sitting of the Austrian Diet, of the 11th, questions were put to the Ministry relative to the affairs of Italy, and as to the conditions on which the mediation had been accepted. Baron Ds, WESSIIS. BERG, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, requested that he might give his reply in writing. M. Dcwalmoza, said that their mediation had been, in fact, accepted, andithat negotiations were going on. The Breslau Gazette has the following from Vienna, 11th instant : " The following are the demands made to the Empe ror by the Hungarian deputation, with his replies:— " May it please your Majesty to order-1. That all the Hungarian regiments who are not actually before the enemy may return ceive the orders of the Hungarian Ministry. 2. To or derimmediately into Hungary to re ii the army which is in Hungary, under pain of punish ment, to act against the insurgents, whatever name or whatever standard they may usurp, and to do its duty for the defence of the country and the maintenance of the integrity of Hungary. 3. The Hungarian nation wishes to regulate the question of nationality and administration between it and the Croation nation, according to the bases of liberty, equality, and frater nity. Croatia is now under military despotism, and its inhabitants cannot express their wishes or their desires to the Hungarian Legislature. Your Majesty is, in consequence entreated to order that the Croatian nation may be delivered . from this d espot i sm, in order that they may freely manifest their wi s h es, and that Finnie, which has been occupied in a perfidious manner, and the Sela vonian Consulate may be immediately given up. 4. The Hungarian nation feels no d ou b t b ut that your Majesty will not only oppose the effort s of the reactioni s t s w h o have only their own interests in view, but will punish them. 5. The Hungarian n a t ion demands, in fine, th at your Majesty will sanction the laws voted by the Hungarian Diet, will come to P esth, and s u pp ort b y your royal presence the authority of the Legislature and of the Constitutional Government. We the more anxiously desire that your Majesty should accede to our prayer, as a refusal would shake the confidence, and make it im possible for the Ministry to maintain internal tranquillity and public order.'" His MAJESTY replied in the following terms : " It is painful to me not to be able to respond to the desire expressed by the deputation of Hungary relative to my journey, in consequence of the delicate state of my health. I will carefully examine the laws Presented, as it cannot be imagined that I can have any intention to infringe any existing ones. I repeat, that it is my fi rm wish to maintain the laws, the integrity. and the rights of the kingdom of my Hungarian crown, conformably to my royal oath. As to the other points mentioned, they are in part settled conformably to the wish of the nation: with regard to those which are not so, I will make known my decision through the medium of my Ministry as promptly as possible." PRUSSIA. It was reported at Berlin on the 14th that BECKERATH had declined to undertake the con struction of a new Ministry, and that the KING had sent for SCHNASSE, the Procurator-General of Dusseldorf. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 15th the debate on the Danish armistice was resumed and again adjourned. The Ministerial crisis continues. HUNGARY. The Aix-la-Chapelle Gazette says, under date of Pesth, Sept. 9—" It is said that if the llungarian de putation do not bring a satisfactory answer from Vienna to-morrow, KOSSUTH has resolved to have himself proclaimed Dictator of Hungary. He is sur rounded by a host of his friends, and about 30,060 or 40,000 men of his so-called body guard are already in his house. The Breslau Gazette contains intelligence from Pesth, of the 9th instant, stating that in many of the towns and forts of Hungary the burghers have held conferences, and have resolved to send a deputation with a white flag, on the approach of the troops of the BANN, but at the same time to hoist the Hapsburgh Imperial flag on all the houses. Advices from (Edenburgh state that the inhabitants have refused to recruit for the Hungarian authori ties Land publicly declared that they will not fight for iiOSBUTII• POLAND. LEMBERG, SEPT. 7.—A most horrible crime has been committed here. All th• family of the rabbi of our city have been poisoned. For some time past a bad feeling has existed between the Israelites of the ancient faith and those of the reformed creed. The Government had given to the whole commune one rabbi, at the wish of the reformed Jews. This was vehemently opposed by those of the ancient faith ; the two sects became more and more alienated, and the Jews of the ancient faith also demanded a rabbi of their creed. A few days after this event they commenced a violent attack upon the Rabbi CoHEN, entered his house, and insulted him in the open street, and then the plan was conceived of getting rid of him altogether. A Jew, who had gone into the kitchen, threw a large dose of arsenic into a pot. After dinner the whole family and domestics, in all nine persons, fell ill. Medical aid was instantly pro cured, but the rabbi and one of the children are already dead, and little hope is entertained of the others. Several suspected Jews are taken, and have been confronted with the servant, who, however, has not been able to identify them. ITALY. PIEDMONT AND LOMBARDY , - The Piedynontese Gazette of the 14th announces the arrival at Turin of CHARLES ALBERT on that day. He issued the following proclamation to the National Guard : " When I placed myself at the head of the army, which was preparing to fight for the sacred cause of Italian liberty, I confided to you my family and the capital of the kingdom. The fact showed how worthy you were of my confidence; your patriotism proved that you were deserving of the new destinies to which our c c o a u n n no tr t y l n le f d r . om l returningenxpressng to among you my heart you my affection and gratitude. In these solemn moments we shall give a new proof of the concord that has existed f or so many ages in this country between princ e and people; of that con cord, that mutual confidence, which will prove us worthy of the liberty and independence to which I have dedi cated my life, to which all my thoughts, all my cares and efforts, are turned. " Turin, Sept. 14. " CHARLES ALBERT." The Genoa Gazette of the 13th contains the fol lowing article : " A person holding a high situation had a long con versation with M. Bastide, the French Minister for Fo reign Affairs, a few days since. M. Bastide said that Austria had accepted the mediation of France and Eng land, but he feared that she would not accept the propo sitions made by France, which were that no Austrian soldier should remain beyond the Alps. If Austria should refuse, it will become necessary for France to impose her conditions by her army, which was ready to com mance the campaign. France is at present negotiating with the great Powers to obtain their neutrality in order to prevent a general war. M. Bastide was confi dent that that question would be resolved within 15 days, and be relied much on the intestine dissensions of Austria and the sympathies felt in Germany for France for its pacific termination. If the other powers should oppose themselves to France she would proclaim a war of the people and of nationalities. M. Bastide con cluded by saying that France could not feel secure unless Italy was free." TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1848. MONEY and COMMERCIAL fNE S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales, including 500 for export. American ranged from 3fd. to 50. per lb. In railway shares there was very little doing, but prices were a shade better. The accounts received to-day from the Continent add nothing of importance to previous advices, but we learn that the negotiations between the Belgian and Prussian Governments were still in progress, with the view of settling the plan of introducing at the rates of the old tariff, the manufactures and products of countries which have not recently adopted the bounty sys tem. It is said that one satisfactory result already obtained is the appointment of several towns at which goods imported into the Zollverein States may be verified as being truly the manu facture of the country whence professedly coming, and to this end, certificates of origin will have to be trans. mated with the merchandize. The places decided upon at present are said to be Aix -la-Chapelle, Herbestal, Cologne, and Steinfort in the Grand Duchy of Luxem bourg. Letters from Leipzic of the 13th inst. state that the workpeople in the manufactories at Chemnitz had rioted and killed and wounded several of the military and civilians. The Discount Market is reported to be very easy, and the bankers were seldom in possession of such large ba lances, their customers evincing no inclination to with draw monies for purposes of investment, tempting as are the opportunities in numerous instances, or of spe culation. It is not to be imagined, however, that this state of things can last, because it is quite contrary to the habit of moneyed men in this capital to suffer their surplus means to lie idle and unproductive. For a long time the mercantile community will keep much larger reserves than usual, but this is no evil: it will rather tend to strengthen confidence and bring about solid improvement. Looking then at all cir cumstances we shall expect, if political affairs do not assume a worse complexion at home and abroad, some revival of activity in the money and commercial markets before long. The firm of Trueman and Cook, owing to the excessive depreciation in the value of produce, is to delay the payment of the instalment due, 10s. in the pound having been already paid, and we think the determination come to, under the sanction of the in spectors, is both wise and honourable.

MARKET NEW S.-( THIS DAY-) COLONIAL. SUGAIL—The market for British Plantation continuos heavy ; sales, 650 hogsheads, at rather lower rates. The public sales have comprised 3,200 bags Mauritius, 1,100 bags Bengal, 166 hogsheads and 120 barrels Porto Rico. The Mauritius was mostly realised at previous rates; yellow, of low to good quality at 35s to 375. Bengal brought 39s to 43s for middling to fine, and the Porto Rico from 36s to 41s for low to fine yellow, being easier terms. The transactions by private contract have been rather extensive, comprising 2,000 boxes white Havanna at 29s 6d to 30s, also 500 boxes mid ditto at 28s, and 400 boxes very low quality at 265, for shipment to St, Petersburgh. The deliveries of British Plantation from the Ist of January to the Ist instant was 54,951 hhds, 8,187 tierces agst 47,907 hhds 6,493 tierces at this time last year.

Trade dull, at the abose quotations. PROLONGATION OF THE ARMISTICE, A prolongation of the armistice for six weeks has been agreed on by the King of SARDINIA and the Emperor of AUSTRIA. NAPLES. The Alba, Florence journal, of the 12th instant, announces under date Naples, 7th instant, that the agitation occasioned by the prorogation of the Legis lative Chambers had continued some days. A colli sion had even taken place between the Royalist and Constitutionalist Lazzaroni, which would have been sanguinary if the troops had not interfered in time. On the 7th the garrison was confined to the barracks, and Naples resembled a city in a state of siege. ROME. The Roman papers of the 9th have come to hand. On the Bth the POPE went in procession from his re sidence of Monte Cavallo to the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, to celebrate the solemn festivity of the birth of the Virgin MAEr. Although a paper had been circulated during the preceding week, in viting the inhabitants to refrain from decorating their windows on the occasion, the festival was very generally observed, and the POPE was, in many places, received with applause. At one or two points flowers were strewed on his carriage as it passed in procession. The accounts from Bologna show that Cardinal AMAT was taking energetic measures for the sup pression of the seditious movement in that city. An edict had been issued, prohibiting the carrying of arms, and several arrests had been effected. Some ap prehensions were, however, entertained lest the Car dinal should be overawed by the military malcontents recently disbanded by the Government. The crisis continued on the 6th. WALLACHIA The new Wallachian constitution decrees equality of political rights, taxation according to property, a National Assembly, with a President elected for five years, and responsible Ministers, liberty of the press without limit, a national guard, abolition of corvies, or forced labour, abolition of corporal punishment, foundations of schools and colleges, &c. They pro test against any kind of occupation of their territory by Russia, and appeal to the Porte, to England, and to France to guarantee the inviolability of their country. TURKEY. Letters from Constantinople in the .Augsburg gazette, to the 31st August (six days later), state that IBRAHIM PACHA had arrived at the Court of the Sublime Porte for the express purpose of being in vested with the sovereignty of Egypt by the SULTAN, his father, INIEHEMET Au, having become childish. The cholera continued to rage in Constantinople. A fresh conflagration in Galata had consumed upwards of 200 houses. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before the RECORIER.) PERJURY.—This was an indictment charging Mr. John Brooks, a gentleman engaged in commercial pur suits at Liverpool, with wilful and corrupt perjury. The prosecution had been instituted at the instance of a Mr. Coward Howard, connected with mines in Corn wall and Devonshire. He had formerly been in partnership in an extensive linendrapery concern in Bath, with his brother Mr. Thomas Blanchard Howard, and the defendant had at one time been the clerk of the latter gentleman. Some difference had unhappily arisen between the brothers, and a dissolution of partnership took place some time before 1828, Mr. T. Blanchard Howard agreeing to pay his brother 7,0001. for his share, at instalments of 1,400/. a year. A bill was subsequently filed by Mr. T. Blanchard Howard, in the Court of Chancery, calling for a statement of ac counts between them from Mr. Coward Howard, and to restrain an action which had been brought against him by his brother, Mr. Coward. The prayer was granted on the payment of a certain sum into court. The matter was referred to Master Brougham, who refused to admit an item of 47/. 3s. 6d. claimed by Mr. Coward, and which Mr. Blanchard declared had been debited to him at his own request, without further proof. Mr. John Brooks, the defendant, was, therefore, sent for from Liverpool, l an d he declared upon his oath that on the 10th of Ap r il , 1844, he saw Mr. Coward in the shop at Bath, and desired that the sum might to be carried to an account which h e had with the f i rm. I n th i s statement consisted th e a l leged con tending that h e Wag not in Bath from January down to July, 1834, perjury, Mr. Coward Howard Mr. Coward Howard, who was examined at great length, swore that he was not in Bath at the time in question, and that he was not there during the time mentioned. Other witnesses produced books to show that he was at Redruth at the time, but owing to the lapse of time, they declared that they could not speak to the fact from memory, an d the prosecutor, after being much pressed, decla re d that, to the best of his belief, but he would not sw ear positively he had not deducted the sum of 8001., which he had received on account of some property, from persons named Chadwick, by whom the bill of 471. 3s. 6d. was contracted, but which it was alleged, on the part of the defence, the prosecutor had made his own debt. Mr. CLAnstsorr addressed the jury at some length on b e h a lf of the defendant. (Tho trial had not concluded when our report left.) NEW COURT. Before the Commo N SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman SIDNEY. The Court was occupied this m or ning in trying Min cases, whi c h contained no feature of public interest. The Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Constance Leveson Gower have arrived at Dunrobin Castle, from Lord Blantyre's seat, Erskine House, Renfrewsbire.
