Austria is crumbling into anarchy from that anarchy will spring her regeneration. It is a lament able door, however, that no despotism so old and so lietetogezeosis is that of the House of Hapsburg car- he taansformed into a free and constitutional Government without the nation pas4ing through a tremendous erisis of ruin, blood, crime, rapine, and atrockY• That doom has descended upon Austria — it has overshadowed the capital—it has fallen with a blighting intensity upon the palace. The spectacle which is now visible in Vienna is as ghastly as that which, in Faris in 1792, affrighted the whole family of Europeans. Nor is the political resemblance merely superficial. The diverse and heterogeneous classes in France evinced as little tendency to cohesion, even when heated in the crucible of the liberal philosophers of the eighteenth century, as the (*verse and heterogeneous races in the Aus titan empire defy all endeavours to fuse them into one compact and uniform nationality. Whatever eratcessions have been made by the Emperor FEE. DINAND have been made as grudgingly as those which only lengthened the agonies of King Louis XVl.—tio employ the expressive phrase of one of our most distinguished jurisoensults, they have been con cessions " written in the statute-book with the trembling hand of Fear, or traced in charaetep of blood." In- like manner the Diet assemble in Vienna to inaugurate the new epoch has occu pied as precarious a position in regard both to the pee,ple and to the SOTEREIGN as the last States-General or the first Constituent Assembly. Do we loolt. for further marks of similarity? The head-riots of ninety-tat; ) We have had them re peated by the unemployed Viennese artizans. The inounting of tha tricolour at the instigation of Des 'MOULINS ? We have had the same incident renewed though without the interposition of a second young enthueAast and a German Vieux Cardeliers. The sacking and burning of the Bastile ? We have had it imitated in the seizure and destruction of the Arsenal. The murder of its unfortunate Ge vernor ? We have witnessed a murder as hide outs and diabolical in the recent assassination of the wrst4led Count LAMIEUG. The devilish cruelties inflicted on the Princess DE LAMDALLE ? we have seen cruelties as appalling and infamous perpetrated on klae person of the miserable Count LATOVR. Tie flight to Varrennes ? It has been fol lowed as unsuccessfully by the flight to Innspruck ; only that the EMPEReit, after negotiating with the Viennese, gild returning to the Imperial Castle of Sehocibrwan, has again fled from the principal city of his empire, oonducted by an escort of five thousand soldiers on the road to Linz. The particulars of the beet awful catastrophe which has befallen the dynasty of Hapsbnxg-Loriaine are characteristic not only of the porecysm of a revolutioa, but of the fate which inevitatry awaits a despotism. The recent occur renews in Hungary have only hastened a day which must ultimate* have arrived. The secret corres pondence between the Court and the Ban of Croatia has, On its revelation, excited a frenzy as terrible as that which followed the discovered complicity of the armed refugees and the ill-advised MARIE ANTOI NMTE. The appointment of the intriguing JELLA.- MUCH: to the rank of Civil and Military Governor of Itung.ary infuriated the population to a state of wrath such as defied all further restraint. It was an appointment as insane in its defiance of public opini on as the granting of the Ministerial portfolio of Jusface to M. HEBERT almost immediately before the doer nfal of Louts Pewearra. It required no in• spin al tongue to announce to the multitude that the viru s of absolutism had not been cleansed from the lb o( K 1 of the Government, but that, on the contrary, tha t virus lurked there, gathering together its latent Intl uences, and preparing to assert its old predomi net ice as soon as an opportunity was discoverable. Vie nna saw as clearly as Paris did in 1791 that soy alty only assumed the mask of generosity to ens ble it to tarry in safety until the arrival of that mix nent so long hoped for, the moment of royal retri• buti on. The consequences of all this lamentable bim idering have been tremendous. At a signal more significant than the banquet of February the people rose on Friday, the sixth of this present October- The; y rose—not as insurgents, not as rebels, not as marauders, but as revolutionists. Their signal was the departure of the troops from the capital as auxiliaries to tae Croatian army of jELLACTIICH—that army which had been organized to tread out the fire of freedom under the iron heel of war in the hot and melancholy ashes of the Hungarian nationality. Instead of allow ing the soldiers to proceed to the railway with out obstruction, the National Guard of the suburb of Gut. ependorf resolved to deprive the Ban of Croatia (noe v the Governor of Hungary) of that assistance. A Ix wricade was thrown up close to the Taleor Bridge on the highway, leading to Ganserndorf; and there, in the midst of enthusiasm, the Grenadiers fraternized. with the Academical Legion and the National Guard frote Hundsthurtn. Possessing, as they now did, a greitt numerical force, as well as the fervour of successful revolutionists, it is not surpris ing that they routed the Nassau troops after a brief encounter, killing tied wounding a very considerable number of their opponents, and shooting the General BRaDY, the commanding officer. After the conflict on the road to Ganserndorf, there era; a lull, but a lull as treacherous as the lull before a tem pest. An accident as deplorable as that which occurred before the Hotel des Cepucins, in February, awoke the storm of the population, and brought at once to its height a revolution which might other wise have been procrastinated. A few shots were exchanged between two detachments of the National Guards—the one fighting for the EMPEROR, the ogler for the people—and the consequence was, that a desperate battle boon began to rage in the Stephans Plants. Those who were in favour of the. Govern ment were driven into the Cathedral of St. Stephen's, and were massacred on the flour of the sacred edifice —the colonel of the regiment being butchered upon the steps of the high altar. Then it was, that, mad dened by the triumph of their arms, the rabble re sorted to deeds of atrocity, such as are happily seldom paralleled, bombarded the garrison of the arsenal, and dragging forth the unfortunate Minister of War, Count LATOUR, from his official residence, assas sinated him with a ferocity as brutal as that a savages, and as fiendish as that which we might attri bute to demons. He was kicked and beaten about the head with adzes and hammers, his throat was cut, his clothes and orders were torn from his body, and then, naked, mutilated, and still r„palpitating, he was hung up by the neck to a gibbet, where his limbs were riddled by musket balls, fired at him throughout the day by his murderers. The assassins of LATOUR seemed to emulate the assassins of LAMBERG, and the retuorse of crime, as in most revolutions, descended upon the capital to sadden the hearts of the citizens in the hour of their victory. While the revolution of October was thus ripening in their vicinity, while civil war was raging in the streets, while the SOVEREIGN was flying in consterna tion from his palace, the supreme authority of the Austrian Diet asserted its existence, and decreed that the national representatives should sit in permanence. STE OBACH was no longer recognised as their President. FR.ANZ SMOLLE was elected on the instant as his successor, and the Diet resolved at once upon those measures which the emergency seemed to demand must imperatively, to the end that order might be restored, and the law rendered above all things trium ph.ant. In the first flush of the intelligence, it is site. ge ther impossible to estimate the real importance of thi a revolution—this revolution, whose days were al moot as cruel as those of September, and whose results are• nearly as decisive as those of February. The observations of Mr. Sergeant ADAMS on the caae of THOMAS BARKER, a respectable young man who was tried at the Middlesex sessions on Wednes day last, and acquitted on the ground of insanity, are: well worthy of the attention of the humane and ch aritable, of those possessed of means sufficient to en able them to mitigate the sufferings, and to provide for the pressing wants of their less fortunate fellow croatures. Of the many afflictions to which the human ra , :e are subjected, there are none of a more painful area humiliating character than the mental alienations, the extraordinary delusions, by which men in the possession of health and strength, of intellectual and physical power, of all that can render life desirable, are so frequently seized and reduced in a, moment beneath the level of humanity. Such persons, although their friends may be enabled to provide for them all the comforts and enjoyments cif which in their fallen condition they are sus ceptible, must at once be considered objects of the deepest sympathy. How much more lament able, however, is the condition of those who are possessed of no private fortune, but who previous to ale attack of the malady under which they may be :suffering had earned for themselves a moderate com petence by their own honest industry. Such persons rare indeed worthy of compassion. Unless their friends tire in a position to undertake considerable expen diture, they must be classed as pauper lunatics, and deprived of the humble and moderate comforts which they had previously enjoyed. Their situation must be, in every respect, wretched, without any ray of light to enliven the gloom by which they are sur rounded, without one mitigating circumstance to lessen their misery. The immediate friends and rela tives of the sufferers are also:worthy of compassion. A man, perhaps earning by the most unceasing exer tions a sum barely sufficient to support his family with the strictest economy, no extraordinary ex penditure can be encountered, no extra sum sup , plied to a single member. Under such circum stances, a wife or child, a father or a brother, may be seized with the mysterious malady. The expenses of a suitable asylum cannot be defrayed out of the , humble profits that can be realised, and the entire family are compelled to submit to serious privations, unless they consent to see one of their body reduced to the degraded condition of a workhouse pauper. Surely something should be done to rescue innocent persons from so painful and humilating a condition. Surely those possessed of riches could find no more beneficial employment for their superfluous wealth than in alleviating the sufferings of such parties. In the case to which we have alluded, a report of which appeared in our impression of yesterday, the prisoner had maintained a highly respectable position and held situations in some of the most respectable houses in the metropolis up to the period of his ill ness. About twelve months since, however, he had been attacked by small-pox, and from that time to the pee sent had exhibited unequivocal indications of insanity to such an extent as to induce his medical attendant to recommend that he should be placed in an asylum for a short period. It was, however, thought that a long sea voyage might restore his health, and a pas sage was accordingly taken for him to Sydney, where a brother was settled who would receive him. Another brother in this country had exhibited the most fraternal disposition towards him, but from having a large family, could not afford to pay the amount required for his main tenance in a private establishment. On the day when the act with which he was charged was committed he left his brother's house very lightly clad, and came to London by the North-Western Railway. lle then wrote a letter at a neighbouring coffee-house, and took a carpet bag belonging to another gentleman. Medical and other evidence was submitted to the jary of various delusi o n s un d er which he had la boured since his recovery from the ~mall-pox, and the jury at once acquitted him on the ground of in sanity. The Learned Sergeant, whose e on . duct on the occasion was worthy of the highest approbation, spoke " of the dreadful want of an asylum for the reception of lunatics who were one or two degrees removed from pauperism ;" a want which, from the knowledge which he had him self personally acquired, was the source of more pain to his feelings than could be imagined; and stated " that in his judicial character many very pressing cases had occurred where such an asylum would have conferred the greatest possible benefit ;" and after mentioning several cases of great hardship, as well to the unhappy victims themselves as to their innocent families, added, " It was a lamentable fact that; not withstanding this country abounded with institutions of almost every description, yet there was not one which applied to these unhappy cases. There was, it is true, Bethlehem Hospital, where there was a fund for incurable cases, but at that establish ment the patients were discharged every year, for if that were not the rule, the place would soon become an asylum. If all the cases which had come under his judicial notice were to be put into a ca7endar, they would constitute such a list as would at once prove how necessary it was that an institution of this description should be founded." We believe that it is only necessary to direct the public attention to the subject to have means adopted for supplying a remedy. Sergeant ADAMS is a trust worthy wittr;:s, whose great experience and position sntitle him to the fullest credence. We hope that his statements will not be lost sight of, but that some steps may be speedily taken for the establishment of an asylum for those labouring under mental inca pacity, whose friends are unable to defray the ex penses incidental to their maintenance, and affording a reasonable prospect of a cure. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have :received the Paris papers of yesterday. The proposition for issuing paper money on landed security, was on Wednesday rejected by the As sembly, by a majority of 578 to 210. Afterwards M. XAVIER DURRIEU brought forward a motion to the effect, that. in n o case, not even during a state ( f siege, should tile Government have the power of sus pending the publication of newspapers. This propo sition, which was warmly supported by M. VICTOR IIr•Go and IV. SA/01ANS, was opposed by M. Maim and M. SENA RD, on the part of the Government, and, on a division, it was negatived by a majority of nine only, the numbers being for the motion 336, against it 345. This is, perhaps, the most severe blow that the Governmfmt has yet received, and some modification in the Ministry would -- a'tta pear inevitable. General CAVAIGNAC has, it is said, rent fir Gcncral BEDEAU, to whom he has offered the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, which M. 13AsrinE has held provisionally since June. AIM. GOUDCIIAUX and SENARD will also, it is said, retire, and MM. DIMAURE and VIVIEN are spoken of as their UCCCSSOTS. M. THOUAB,D, who on Tuesday attacked M. Bas- TIDE in the S.tlle des pas Perdus, sprat in his face, enC threatened to poignard him, has been committed to the Conciergel7ie, to teke his trial for having assaulted a representative within the precincts of the Palace of the National Assembly, and for having endeavoured to compass the death of a Minister. M. GourcnzAux, the Minister of Finance, has ad dressed the folloWing letter to the kforme : " Your number of to day contains an article which I cannot allow to pass unanswered. You ask whe ther it is true that, before the elections for tht National Assembly, and with the object of obtaininE. the votes of the adherents of the Central Society of the Banque intinabiliOre, I promised to propose the creation of bons hypoth4caires. I formally reject this charge. I did not in any way intrigue to obtain tht votes which carried me into the National Assembly, and if I sought them it was not at the price of the abandonment of an opinion which with me has never varied. I have never avoided a single opportunity of making it known. On the 16th June, that is to say, from the first day that I entered the tribune, I de Glared myself the enemy to all paper money, under whatever denomination it might be. Since that day, on several occasions, I have repeated that declara tion. An opportunity is about to present itself, and I shall avail myself of it to express once more on this subject the convictions which I have felt all m 3 life." M. PRovDEoN has distributed at the Assembly an amendment conceived in the following terms i--: " In case the universal suffrage should not give se absolute majority to one of the candidates for tht. Presidency of the Ilepubllc, the definitive nouiina►tion shall be made by the people of Paris." M. JULES I%IIIIE, the writer of the celebrated circulars of M. LEDELr ROLLIN, is at present suffering from brain fever of an alarming character. The intelligence of the success of the insurgents at Vienna has excited a great sensation in Paris. The Government immediately dispatched General REY to the army of the Alps, with orders that the army should hold itself in readiness to act at a moment's notice. The intelligence from Vienna was brought by M. Thinrunn, the Secretary to the Austrian Embassy. There are various rumours as to Ministerial modi fications. The negotiation with M.• DLIT/klutz has failed, and General BEDEAII refuses to take office. M. TRIERS has been actively intriguing to prevent the formation of any Ministry, and it is said that General CAVAIGNAC has determined to resign, in which case M. ARMANI3 MARRAST will, it is conjec tured, be appointed President of the Council. BOURSE-PARIS, THL'ItSDAY, OCT. 12. THREE o'Cnock.—The accounts from Vienna created considerable sensation at the Bourse to-day; and the Rentes opened considerably lower than yesterday's closing prices. Foreign politics have, however, not so much influence on the French funds as domestic affairs; and as it is believed that the Moderate party is likely to come to an understanding with the Government, both Rentes and Railway Shares continued steady during the day. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 35c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 10c.; and the Loan sc. For Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 10c.. Five per Cents. have fallen 5c., and the Loan 5c.; Bons du T4ior not quoted; Bank of France Shares have fallen 15f ; Belgian Bank Shares are at 645; Bel gian Five per Cents. remain at 78; Spanish Funds not quoted; Roman has fallen 4 1 per cent.; Rothschild's Re ceipts not quoted.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT Till LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Ocr. 12. Boulogne and Amiens, 5 5 A—Northern of France, 6 1 4 — Orleans and Bordeaux, —Tours and Nantes, 1%. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived. The .spans says, " According to the communi cations received yesterday, it results that a conspiracy has been discovered at Barcelona, in which two ex treme parties appear amalgamated. Amongst the persons arrested is a chief of the army. " The active Captain-General had proceeded throughout with the greatest energy, adopting effi cacious measures to render powerless the enemies of tranquillity and public order. Extraordinary precau tions had been taken at the Castle of Monjuich,at the citadel, and at the other forts,although, as the conspi racy was discovered in time and the greater part of the conspirators have been arrested, there was no cause for the slightest fear. Patrols were passing both within and without the place during the day." The Fomento of Barcelona, of the 3d, states that the conspiracy was got up in concert with the clubs (i. e., emigrant clubs) of Perpignan and Thoulouse, and that the parties received orders both from CABRERA and AMETTLER. It says the plan was to deliver over several fortresses in Catalonia to CABRERA, and to get hold of Montjuich, which having been effected, a heavy contribution was to be levied on the city of Barcelona, under threat of bombardment. It does not state who were the par ties arrested in consequence of the discovery of this plot, but says that the measures of the authorities were taken in secret. Four battalions of Cacadores were brought to Barcelona, and many persons were arrested, which was done so quietly that the public in general knew nothing of w llat was going on, but flocked in great numbers to .the yearly festival of Sarria on the Ist and 2d, as usual. The principal arrests must have been made on the night of the Ist. The Fomento adds that three battalions of infantry had left Barcelona, their presence there not being necessary. Letters from Algesiras and the Cadiz papers speak of a conspiracy having bet n discovered there, of which the Moderado account is, that it was intended to get pos,iession at first of a sum of public money amount ing to 9,000 or 10,000 dollars, which was coming escorted by a detachment of the Ceuta Rc-giment, some of whom had been gained over—to set at liberty 200 political prisoners who were in the Tolomo, not far from Algesiras, the soldiers that guarded them being in accord with the insurgents — to assassinate the military commander, General LARA, on his way to Tarifa—and to move off to the Serrania de Ronda, where a favourable reception was counted on, and also on the co-operation of 25 carabineers stationed there. Colonel GUERREA is said, by the Comercio of Cadiz, to have directed the plan from Gibraltar ; and he, with a person named GARVALIIO and a Colonel ANDIA, were to have been at the bead of it. A letter from Valencia, in the Clamor, dated the fld instant, speaks of one hundred and thirty Car lists having entered Moncada the previous night, and carried off some money and a prisoner. Moncada is only one league from Valentia. The Carlists had entered Segorbe, without any opposition on the part of the inhabitants, and carried off twenty • five uni forms of the civil guard from that place.

GERMANY AND TIC E NORTHERN STATES. INSURRECTION AT VIENNA, AND FLIGHT OF THE EMPEROR. The discovery of the intrigues of the Camariila with JELLACHICH—the advance of the latter into Hungary, and his appointment as Lord-Lieutenant to restore the despotic sway of the EMPFROR in that country—the horrible excesses committed by the serai barbarian Croatian troops whom the Emperor of AUSTRIA has taken into his pay—the intrigues which it is known the Camarilla has been carrying on with the Sclavonian chiefs, in order to obtain the aid of the &laves in repressing the spirit of liberty in Ger many, have produced the effects which every one must have anticipated as the results of intrigues so audaci ously, and yet at the same time so elumsi!y con ducted. In vain does the fowler set his snare in sight of the bird, and the Viennese plainly perceived that if JELLACDICII were aermitted to conquer the Hungarians there would be an end of liberty in Vienna. With JUL - LAM:IMR and his Croatians advancing from Pesth, with WINDESGRATZ advancing from Prague, and ItAneTesr from Italy, not only would the recently •lear-bought liberties of Vienna be annihilated, but all %A hh had endeavoured to secure those liberties vould inevitably fall victims to the vengeance of the lespot. It is not at all surprising, therefore, that the .ppoietrnent of JELLACIIICII to the govrtiment of Hungary, and the attempt to forward to him rein foreem,nts of troops from Vienna should have pro duced an insurrection in that city of a more serious ;haracter than any of which it has yet been the theatre. The fight was long and murderous, but at !ength the people were victorious. We lament to add that they sullied their victory by the perpetration of a horrible murder. Count LaTona, the Minister at War (the friend and protector of JELLACHICII), and who had been moving heaven and earth to send him reinforcements, was dragged from his house, stabbed in several parts of his body, dispatched by a blow from sledge hammer, and then his lifeless body was sus pended from a gibbet for some hours. The EMPEROR has fled in the direction of Lintz, and Vienna is at this moment in the hands of the Diet. The following are the details of the insurrection. On the 6th October, the German Grenadier Guards were ordered to march ind join the expedition against the Hungarians. They communicated with the corps of National Guards of the suburb of Gumpendorf, in which their barracks were situate, and with the Academical Legion, from both of which they received a promise that measures would be taken to prevent their de. parture. The National Guards: from the llundlthurm as• iembled at six o'clock on the morning of the 6th at ;ho terminus of the Northern Railroad, from which they removed the rails, for the purpose of preventing , he departure of the Grenadiers. The latter arrived won after, and the commanding officer, seeing that the removal of his troops by rail was impossible, gave orders for their proceeding on foot to Gansern iorf, a station on the line, from whence he hoped it would be possible to effect their conveyance by the railroad. But this plan too was resisted by the National Guards, the numbers of which increased with every minute. A barricade effectually stopped ;he march of the regiments near the Tabor bridge. They were ordered by their officer to storm this bar ricade. Instead of doing so they fraternized with the National Guard, who destroyed the bridge, and thus prevented the cuirassiers from advancing. The insurgents were reinforced by the Academic Legion, when the Nassau Infantry arrived with some pieces of artillery, and summoned the insurgents to surrender. The insurgents advanced and seized four pieces of artillery and a powder- wa ggon, without op position. The Nassau Infantry then fired three Tellies at the insurgents, who advanced from the bar ricades, charged the Nassau Infantry, and put them to flight, killing their Commander-General BREDY. At one o'clock a party of the insurgent National Guards were attacked on the Stephens Platz by a party of loyal National Guards, who stood by the Government, but after a short fight the latter were forced to retire into the Cathedral of St. Stephen's, the doors of which they then barricaded from within. But the insurgents battered down the doors, entered the church, and dislodged their antagonists, whose leader was killed on the very steps of the altar. One of the city gates, the Burgthor, still remained in possession of the Government troops. Three corn • panies of sappers and miners, with four guns, en. tered this gate at three o'clock in the afternoon. They were at once attacked and totally routed, in spite of the grape and canister which they fired from their pieces. Many of them were captured, disarmed, and confined in the University buildings. Formid able barricades were constructed while this fight was going on. The old fortifications of the city were occupied by the artillery of the National Guards. At six o'clock in the evening the insurgents, who were now ",victorious upon all points, attacked and carried the War• office, seized the cannon and arms deposited in that building, ;and captured the Minister of War, Count LATOUR. The wretched man was conducted into the street, and then be was murdered with blows from axes and sledge hammers. The people tore the clothes and orders from the bleeding body, and hung the naked corpse on a gibbet. Count LATOUR'S papers were seized and brought to the University. At half-past six in the evening the Arsenal was the only place which partizans of the Esti:1111oz. The People surrounded remained in possesslon of the the Arsenal, and demanded from the garrison they should give up the arms which it contained. They refused. A •combat commenced, in the course of which the garrison swept the Reengasse with grape and canister, and killed and disabled a great number of the insurgents, w hose fury increased after each unsuccessful attempt to gain possession of the build ing. The committee of students sent several flags of truce, summoning the garrison to surrender, but the bearers were shot dead on the spot. The people then commenced bombarding the Arsenal, and the firing continued all th e n i g ht through, till six o'clock o n the morning of the 7th, when the garrison sur rendered. The victory of the people was then complete. Those among them who had been previously unarmed procured arms from the capture of the Arsenal. At four o'clock in the afternoon of this eventful day the EMPIMOR and his family, finding their sup porters dafeated on every point, left Vienna, escorted by 500 cavalry. They took the road towards Lintz. The Diet was sitting the whole time the insurrec tion lasted. Th e f o ll ow i n g is a summary of thei r proceedings " Eleven o'clock, A.m. " Several Members of the Left assemble, and send an address to the President, .111. Strobach, asking him to summon the Members of the House, in order that the effusion of blood might be stopped. The Presi dent refuses to comply with their request. He does nut think that the matter is sufficiently important. Upon this the Diet assembles without him, constitutes itself en permanence, and elects another President in the person of M. Smolka. " Seven o'clock P.M. "An Ex( cutive Committee, consisting of Members of the Left, is appointed. N. Lohner moves an ad dress to the Emperor, demanding the formation of a new and pol molar Cabinet with Idessrs.

KRATT: I, one of the Ministry, ascended the tribune, and raid— "Au hour back one of the guards of the Palace handed me a tealcd letter, which contained a mani festo from: the Emperor, in nearly the following language :- - 4 1 have done everything that a Sovereign could to d o good ; I have renounced the absolute power left site by my ancestors. In the month of May I was 1 breed to quit the palace of my fethers, and afterwards I came back without any other guarantee than my confidence in my people. A small fracticn, strong from its baldness, has urged things to the farthest extremity. Pillage and murder reign in Vienna, and the Minister of War has beer; killed. I have confidence in God arid my right; and 1 quit the De ighbcurhood of my capital to find meens to afford as sistance to my oppressed people. Let those who love Austria and her liberty rally round the Emperor.' M. Kraus added, that a note from the Emperor invited him to countersign the manifesto, but ti Tat he had declined, preferring to ruler the matter to .thi? wisdom of the Chamber.—M. Bribil proposed to name a Committee (two members for each province) to decide on the manifesto. 'lnk. Committee was at once nominated. N. Borosci proposed, in the name of the Committee, that N. Kraus should enter the Ministry. This was adopted unanimously. The Committee decided :-1. That the Ministers Hornbosk, Dobhloff, and Kraus should treat all affairs, and make propositions to his Majesty to complete the Ministry. 2. That a proclamation should be addressed to the people, and a memorial sent to his Majesty on the events of the day before. This was adopted. The President read a telegraphic dispatch, in which it was announced that 1 200 workmen of the neighbourhood wished to arrive The committee proposed not to permit them. The following proclamations nave been issued by the Diet : " The Diet, informed of the painful events which have fallen on this capital, has assembled, and ad. dresses itself with confidence, to the population of Vienna, in order that it may second it in the accom plishment of so difficult a task. The Diet, in ex pressing its deep regret at a barbarous act which ha:- caused the violent death of the Minister Latour, ex presses the firm hope and resolution that from this time the law alone will reign. The Diet has declared itself en permanence; it will adopt all the measures required to secure order, and the security and liberty of the citizens, and will be careful to assure the fun and entire execution of its resolutions. It will address itself at the same time to the Monarch to recommend him to remove from his councils Ministers who d( not possess the confidence of the country, and to re place the present Ministry by a national on(.. Th€ Diet places the safety of the city of Vienna, its own inviolability and that of the throne, and conEequentl3 the prosperity of the monarchy, under the protection of the National Guard of Vienna. (Signed) " FRANCOIS SMOLKE, Vire-President. " In the name of the Diet." " The Minister of the Interior has just addressed a notice to the National Guard to announce to it that the Deputy Scherzeo is appointed Commandant of the National Guard of Vienna and the neighbour. hood, and expressing a hope that the National Guards will obey him and maintain public order. " The Diet announces that it is at this moment taking measures to remove the troops from the city, and to obtain a general amnesty in favour of all persons, military or civil, connected with all that has taken place up to this time. (Signed) " F. SMOLKE." " NOTICE.—The Diet has resolved to invite his Majesty to form a national Ministry, enjoying the confidence of the people, in which shall be included the Ministers Hornbosk and Dobhloff, and that a, an indispensable condition of the re. establishment of order, the Diet has, at the same time, expressed the wish to his Majesty that the manifesto of the 3d instant, which appoints Baron Jellachich Royal Com missioner of Hungary should be withdrawn, and that a general amnesty should be granted to every person, either civil or military, for all that has taken place up to this day. In consequence o f this his Majesty has given an assurance to the Diet that he will-form a national Ministry, of which the above named Ministers shall form a part ; adding that he will concert with the new Ministry all the measurees necessary for the welfare of the monarchy ; and his Majesty has expressed a hope that the people of Vienna will energetically contribute to the establish ment of social order. (Signed) " F. SMOLKE. " The Minister of the Interior announces that the Ministry has resolved to energetically maintain tran quillity and legal order, and invites the National Guards who desire to second it to adopt white scarfs as a distinguishing mark. The Ministry has seen with the most profound grief National Guards and citizens fight against;each other without any plausible reason. " The Diet has adopted the following resolution : The directors of the Northern Railroad shall re ceive orders not to admit any soldiers in the trains. This resolution shall be transmitted to 011mutz and to Brunn.' (Signed) " F. SMOLKE." The following from the Zeitungs Halle, is the latest from Vienna:— " A terrible event has occurred on the square of St. Stephen. An attempt being made to sound the tocsin, the National Guards (black and yellow) op posed it. Firing ensued, and a Captain and several National Guards were killed. Three o'clock—Grape shot has been fired ; a shot has just enter e d th e h ouse in which I am writing. The pioneers have made an attack on the Hof and Graben, and been repulsed by the National Guard, who captured twelve pieces of r cannon. Barricades are being erected on every point. The National Guard fights with heroism. There are a great number of killed and wounded. Half-past Five—The Minister of War, although surrounded by a deputation of the Diet, with the Vice-President Smolke at its head, has been massacred and hung up to a lamp-post. Seven o'clock—The Arsenal is attacked; a dreadful cannonade is going on. Four o'clock, morning cf the 7th—The cannonade lasted the whole night. The Arsenal has just capitulated." The same journal adds::— " The garrison surrendered under the condition that the Arsenal should be occupied:by the students and the National Guard. The people were itnme diately armed. £he Diet has named a commission to act as executive power; it is composed in general of th members of the Left. Last evening, at eight o'clock, the Diet determined to send fresh ammuni tion to the legion. At midnight it was announced that the Arsenal was on fire.._ At ten o'clock it was declared that the Emperor had quitted the palace of Scbceubrunn ; at half-past ten the Minister Kraus announced that the Emperor in departing had left behind him a proclamation, in which lie says that he quits Vienna on account of its tendency to revolt, and that he would adopt in another spot the necessary measures. M. Kraus refused to countersign it, de claring it appeared to him unconstitutional. The Diet has again assumed the constituent and executive power, and has decided to send commissioners into the provinces to carry there that resolution. All Vienna was armed, but, with the exception of some agitation, everything was quiet. The Bourse was closed on the 6th and 7th." The Breslau Gazette publishes the following : " BRESLAU, OCT. 7., TEN AT NIGHT.—The evening train had brought neither ptolengers nor mails from Vienna. All the intelligence we have re ceived from Vienna consists in an E xtract from the private letter of a merchant at Ratibor, received, if we mistake rot, from a postmaster at Agratli or Ga‘ zendorf. We have not sm a copy of this letter, but state what we have heard. " Yesterday, in the afternoon, different battalions were to leave Vienna for Hungary. The people endeavoured to prevent them, and destroyed the bridges. A detachment of pioneers and six guns were sent to effect and protect the passage of the troops. Three of these guns were seized by the people after a portion of the regiment Deutschmeister had joined the people. The rails as far as Gaz , _ndorf were torn up. The Minister of War, Latour, was sought for by the mob for a long time in vain, but at last he was discovered in his own house, disguised, and attempting to escape. He is reported to have received the blow of an axe on the hack of the head, and then to have been dragged out and hanged. In the same manner a General Breda is reported to have been shot (according to an Austrian officer, there is no General of this name in the army). The military is said to have been driven cut of the town, and to have assembled on the Glacil before the &hot tenthor." The Silesian Gazette publishes the following letter, ciLted liatibor, October 7 : " The train from Vienna has not arrived, thn rails having been taken up as far as Wagram. From a letter which a messenger succeeded in carrying across the Danube at great risk I learn the following: Vienna is in open insurrection since yesterday afternoon at two F.M. The origin of it was the departure of troops to join Jellachich, and which was opposed by the National Guards. A battle ensued between the Black-and Gold party and the democrats ; National Guards fought against Natioral Guards, and a portion of the regiment Deutschmeieer joined the democratic party. Count Latour, who was compelled to fly from his official to his private residence, was cut down, hewn to pieces, and then hanged upon a lantern by the men on duty at the principal guard house. Colonel Klein, who commanded the pioneers at one of the bridges, was shot. Thousands of peasants, armed with guns and scythes, are pouring into the faubourgs. No one knows what has become of the Emperor.' " HUNGARY. An extra supplement of the Wiener Zeitung says that an anti-Magyar movement has taken place in Transylvania. The c3nseription commanded by the Hungarian. Ministry for the formation of fifteen new Landwher battalions, has led to bloody scenes in Transylvania. In Lunat the people rose en masse, and opposed the Government officers; the military were called out and joined by the National Guard, which tended still more to exasperate the peop7e, who 'aegazi pelting the military with stones, which gave rise to a discharge from them, whereby forty of the peasants were wounded and thirteen killed. The General in command has, therefore, ordered that no further attempts at conscription shall be made for the present, as it is vehemently protested against by all the inhabitants of Saxony. PRUSSIA. The 15th of October is the birthday of the KING, and on that day his DIAJESTY will proclaim an amnesty for all political offences committed since the revolution. The Poles of Posen will be included in this amnesty. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, OCT. 9.—The new constitution of the kingdom of the Netherlands has been voted by the Second Chamber of the States General in double number, by a majority of three fourths of the votes. The First Chamber is convoked for to•day to ratify the vote given by the Extraordinary Legislature. This ratification of the new constitution in fact has been already attained, since that legislative body by anterior vote had approved all the projects of law. Our new social and political state now wants only the royal sanction to have the force of fundamental laW. The ardent and general solicitude which the King manifests in all that can consolidate the well being and prosperity of the country is a sure guarantee that we shall not have to wait long for the royal sanction. THE HAGua, OCT. 10.—The two new members of the First Chamber, Messrs. Bylant and Serenstern, took their oaths to-day at the hands of the King. At half-past one yesterday the Ministers assembled in council at the Home Department. The meeting lasted till three o'clock. Immediately after the Mi nisters of the Interior, of Foreign Affairs, and of War repaired to the First Chamber, which, having information that the Second Chamber had in double number adopted the twelve projects of law, was con voked for to-day to deliberate in sections. The deliberations will be short, for, as' we have already stated, these projects have been approved be forehand by this legislative body. It is expected that the legislative session of 1847 and 1848 will close in the course of this week. Conformably to what is prescribed by the new fundamental law, and especially by Art. 1 of the Provisional Electoral Regulations, the opening of the legislative session will commence on Monday, the 16th Oct. This chamber will occupy itself with the formation of its bureaux, the nomination of candi dates for the Presidency, and other ordinary business, after which it will adjourn. The Chambers elected according to the new con stitution will probably assemble in the month of December, when the new legislative session and the new Chambers will be dissolved by law. His Royal Highness PRINCE HENRI, of the Nether lands, set out this morning for Nieuwe Diep, to in spect the vessels which are to transport the troops to Batavia. We hear from Harderwyk that detachments of military, who have voluntarily taken service in the colonial army, continue to arrive there from all the provinces in the kingdom. The number already amounts to 12,000 men. On Friday MO embarked here from Nieuwe Diep. M. VON ALPHEN, Referendary of the Colonial De partment, who came from Batavia last March, has just arrived in this city, on his way Lick to India. His Majesty the King intends opening the sitting of the Chambers in person on Monday. Letters and papers have been received from Batavia, but they contain no intelligence of importance.— Dutch papers, Oct. 11. WALLACHIA. At Blasendorf great excesses have taken place among the Wallachians, or, as they now call them selves, the Romani. An insurrectionary meeting was held, at which they insisted that all political prisoners should be liberated, that the conscription should be suspended, and that the present meeting should be declared legal. Expresses were sent off by the Chapter for a supply of the military, and Baron VAT himself came to Blasendorf and addressed the mob in Hungarian. He said that he had full powers to redeem the political prisoners, that the conscription had already virtually ceased, but that as for the legality of this popular meeting he must obtain higher authority before he could declare it legal. The meeting, which consisted of from 8,000 to 10,000 men, appeared satisfied, and were about to disperse, when news was brought that the authorities not only refused to obey the Commander-in-Chief, Baron VAT, or to release the prisoners, but were re solved to shoot MIKEs, one of the State prisoners, at once. The commandant of the fortress immediately interfered, and MULES was instantly carried to the eselder territory. This caused fresh commotions, and the greatest apprehensions are entertained for the peace of the country. _ . - • Ihe official Wiener Zeitung of the 6th and 7th sa.7s nothing whatever of the revolution. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURGU, SEPT. 26.—The following Imperial letter has been addressed to the Grand Duke MICHAEL, as chief of the military colleges : "Your Imperial Highness—The extraordinary num ber of the students from the military colleges, who joined the ranks of officers, by which the army was furnished with able leaders at a time of unexpected need, led to the apprehension that the loss of the students who had joined the camp, and who had been especially accus tomed to front service, would be greatly felt in the front department of these institutions. It was there fur the more satisfactory to me to observe the ad mirable order and military bearing of this de partment of the military institution during the whole of their stay at Peterhof. A daily witness of the untiring exertions and enlightened policy by which your pupils were preserved from the cholera while it was raging in the capital and its environs, I was deeply moved, and recognised the evident blessing of God on your Imperial Highness's exer tions. " In the whole establishment only one pupil was seized with the cholera, and he recovered, and I was very much gratified to observe that not only the chiefs under your immediate orders but all the (tEcers without exception, animated by the noble example of your Imperial Highness, zealously dis • chargvd their sacred duties of teachers and in structors. " The thankful prayers of the parents whose sons lwere preserved to them by your exertions, are your high rewards. I rejoice in having this opportunity of expressing to your Imperial Highness my hearty thanks and grateful acknowledgments. " Krassnoze Szelo, August 27, 1848.

A visit each year from his Majesty. 9. In case of foreign in vasion, aid of 100,000 men; but, reciprocally, the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom should engage to fur nish an armed contingent to the monarchy, should it be menaced." SICILY. Advices from Sicily state that a Sicilian-ship, loaded with ammunition, was saved from being captured by a Neapolitan vessel by the British and French forces, who have also preventcd the landing of the reinforce ments sent by the King of NAPLES to Filangin. PIEDMON T. CIIOZANOWSLY, the well-known Polish General, has been named by CHARLES ALBERT Chief of the General Staff of the army. N APLES. Letters from Naples of the 4th inst. state that the ultimatum of England and France had not arrived, but that the status quo was maintained in Naples and Sicily. The quarantine of seven and fourteen days lately imposed on vessels from Palermo an Malta, and which was strongly suspected to have had only a political object, has been removed in consequence of the remonstrances of the British Admiral. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY). Frederick Herbert, who was formerly a Lieutenant in the Navy, and who has for souse time been vic timising the public under the assumed names, of Captain Welsh, Captain Howard, Wm. Corney, Henry Pettin gale, was brought up for final examination, charged with defrauding several tradesmen out of property to a large amount, by means of spurious cheques. Mr. John L , :adbetter,- ornithologist, 19, Brewer street, Golden-square, said, on the 21st of July last, the prisoner came into his shop, and said ho had been re commended to him by several persons in the trade as the most likely person to get the skins of humming birds from. Witness said he was unwell, and wished the defendant to defer his call till another day. The' prisoner replied that he was going out of town imme diately, and would not detain witness ten minutes. Wit ness then ishowed him a quantity of skins, and the pri soner selected sixteen, which came to, 61. Witness packed them up in a box produced, and banded it to the prisoner. The prisoner then put his hand in his pocket, t_ud said he had not got sufficient cash, but he would give witness a cheque upon his bankers. He then wrote out a cheque for 61., payable at Messrs. Childs, Temple-bar, and signed his name Frederick Howard. Witness presented the cheque the next day, and was in formed that no such person kept an account there. Mr. John Evans, a dealer in curiosities, No, 281, High Holborn, proved purchasing sever a l o f the skins of the prisoner, for which he paid him 11. 17s. 6d. The skins produced are a portion of those he purchased of the prisoner. Several other cases of a similar nature having been proved, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mary and Elizabeth Hinckley alias Broad, and Emma Jones and Mary Anne Allen, who had acted as their servants, were charged with having obtained, under false pretences, from various tradesmen in the metro polis, quantities of drapery and other goods to an im mense amount. John Messent stated that on Monday, the 25th ult., person called at the shop of his employer, Mr. Enoch Jones, linendraper, in Finsbury-terrace, and requested that a choice selection of family mourning might be sent immediately to the residence of the elder prisoner, Elizabeth, in Cavendish-street, New North-road, as her husband had just expired. Witness ac cordingly proceeded there with a quantity of Palmetta and Coburg cloths, crapes, and other articles, and was admitted by the girl Jones, who conducted him to a par lour, in which he found the elder prisoner and one of her daughters, who selected a portion of the goods and ordered two cloaks and two mantles to be made for them and sent home by the following Wednesday, as the funeral of the deceased would take place the day after. On taking the latter articles to the house, he received a further order for a quantity of black ribbon and six pairs of kid gloves, which he afterwards delivered at the door to the prisoner Allen, who told him th a t t h e l ad i es were so oppresed with grief that they were unable to see him. A fourth order: was afterwards executed for two boas and a muff, and also for four shawls two of which it was intimated would be selected for the ser vants, and the other two returned. An invoice for the whole of the goods was sent with the last parcel, and witness was directed to call on the following Monday for the amount, viz., 231. Bs. Bd., but on reaching the place, at the time appointed, he found the house shut up. Mr. George Mattley, landlord of the house in Caven dish-street, stated that he let the premises at Mid summer last, to a venerable-looking gentleman, who said he was a retired shipbrokcr, and having heard a few days since that his tenant was dead, he proceeded to the house to offer his condolence to the widow, and found that she and her family badclandestinely removed. Sergeant Brannan, of the G (division, deposed that he proceeded with other officers to a house in Park-row, Pentonville, in search of the elder prisoner's son, whom they accidentally encountered in the street, and took him into custody upon another charge. He (witness) afterwards endeavoured to effect an entrance into the house, but after knocking repeatedly at the deor without being answered, he made his way through the passage of the next house, and procured a ladder, which he placed against the back window of a room on the first floor, at which the prisoners were standing. On reach ing the window, the prisoner Jones pressed with her whole weight upon the sash to prevent his forcing it up, but he succeeded in raising it a sufficient height for the admission of his head, when she instantly seized him by the hair with one hand, whilst with the other she made the most strenuous efforts to strangle him by forcing the window upon his neck, and finding that ineffectual, she did her utmost to pitch him off the ladder; he, however, together with Sergeant Dubois, forced his way into the apartment, where were found several boxes, containing various articles of haberdashery, &c., about sixty pawn broker's duplicates, a flash note of Bank of Elegance, and numerous foimal agreements for the occupation of houses, in various names, and in all parts of the me tropolis. John Broad Hinckley, son of the elder prisoner, was charged with having fraudulently obtained a quantity of wearing apparel from Mr. Edwin Kenworthy, a tailor, in Shaftesbury-street, Hoxton. The prosecutor stated th-t on Tuesday week last, pri soner called upon him, and ordered a suit of mourning, which he requested might be seat to his mother's house in Cavendish-street, in sufficient time to enable him to wear it at his father's funeral. The order was duly executed, and the prisoner subsequently called upon him, and obtained a waistcoat and shooting jacket, the latter of which was sent him upon approbation. Witness afterwards found that the family had absconded from the house they had occupied. Henry Roberts produced ono of the coats which was pledged at his shop, a few hours after it had been ob carted from*the prosecutor. Several other eases were ready to be gone into against the prisoners, but the magistrate thought that enough already had been proved against them to justify him in committing them for trial. At the suggestion of Ser geant Brannan they were ordered to be brought up again. THE IRONMASTERS QUARTERLY MEETINGS.- BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY.--A co ns id era bl e num b er o f i the principal rontnasters and coal proprietors of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire assembled in the Town-hall to-day. There was also a fair sprinkling of persons interested in the iron trade and settlement of quarterly accounts from other parts of the kingdom; but the attendance was not more than an average one, and iu con!equence of the publicity already given to the deci sion adopted at the preliminary meeting held at Dudley a fortnight ago, no person anticipated any alteration of the prices of last quarter. Nene took place. It is next to impossible to state the precise figures, but as nearly as prices can be ascertained, they may be named after the following scale :—Bars, best quality, about $l. 10s,, hoops, 71., sheets, 81., and pigs from 31. ss. to 31. 105. It is satisfactory to know, more especially at the present moment, that the comparatively improved position of the iron manufacture is by well-informed people attributed, not - to any sudden railway demands, but to the re quirements of the general trade of the country. Thi s , as compared with former periods of improvement, is a favourable symptom. The settlement of acc oun t s , so far as it has proceeded, is satisfactory, and the p ros p ec ts of the ensuing quarter, if not brilliant, are at least en couraginc. BLACEIVALL RAILWAY.--The directors of this rail way intend altering the gauge, and using the locomotive instead of the stationary engine, and the workmen com menced taking up the north line yesterday, preparatory to the alteration of the gauge. The trains now leave either end every half hour, instead of every quarter, as heretofore.

Mrs. Ashe became her locum tenens, at au hour's notice, and acquitted herself extremely well. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING? OCTOBER 13, 1848
