One of the wiliest sophisms promulgated by the reactiovry party, in reference to the triumph of the imperial candidate for the Presidency is this—that the success of the Prince Loins NAPOLEON is tanta mount to a declaration against Republicanism, and to a demonstration in favour of Legitimacy ! The fallacy of this is something monstrous. And to demonstrate the of the assertion, it is only necessary to reflect for a moment upon the principles identified with the cause of Bonapartism. NAIPOLEON was the incarnate spirit of the Revo lution. He was the crowned champion of democracy. He was the direct emanation from the people whose symbols were Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. He was the sword wielded by the free millions of France for the punishment of their assailants, for the subju gation of kingcraft, for the dissolution of many suc cesive coalitions. In his Code were digested the sub lime truths contained in the crudeffpandects of the philosopher and the demagogue—in the Central Social of Rousseau, and in the Droits des Bommes of Ro- BESPIEIZRE. The glory of NAPOLEON belonged to the peell, because he himself was the hero raised up on the buckler of the Republic and crowned with the golden circlet like the ancient kings of Attica. When NAPOLEON was anointed an. Emperor by the hands of the Sovereign PONTIFF, the people felt that in that ceremony they themselves were exalted into the nominees of royalty. When NAPOLEON placed on his head the iron crown of Italy, the people knew that in his person they themselves were adorned with the heroic decorations of CURLEMAGNE. When he flung a diadem to MURAT, they exulted at the de basement of the tyrant of the two Sicilies. When he lobed JOSEPH with the purple of Navarre and Cas tile, they saw only the ignominies inflicted upon an emasculated and licentious dynasty. When he took upon himself the Protectorate of Switzerland, they recognised his identification with the cause of federal liberty. When he assumed the Government of the Germania Confederation, they found themselves in.the perAon of th e i r S overe i gn invested with the authority of the Northern. C2ESLES. When he elevated Louis to the throne of Holland, and entru s t e d J EROME With they scept re of Westphalia —wh en he trans formed', electorates into kin new dignity t o th e d princedom g orlis and grant e d espoused a daughter o f t h e Housofet.tru Hapsburg, hen he u see and named their offspring e ven i n his erad. people e the e successor Of "TAILQUINIUS SUPERBIIS--the saw in a ll this only the glorification of D emocracy and th e d • :1 , . • ation of hereditary Despotism. And th ey vie 'fly—the dictatorship of NAPOL EON was tilesw ne cessity of the nineteenth century. Without that dictatorship the revolution must have been trodden into ashes.. With it the cause of the multitude acci(ised the prestige of glory, the awe of power, the vitality of strength, and the elevation of intellect. Monarchs were taught to respect the grandeur of the revolution if they continued to abhor its principles. And they were taught this through the medium of their own tremendous vicissitudes ; they were taught it by the victorious legions of a Conqueror, whose triumphs extended." from Memphis to Vienna, and from Cadiz to Moscow." That such is the only rational estimate of the cause of which the supre macy of. NAPOLEON was the embodiment, is attested by the coincidence in that estimate of the most stern and uncompromising of all the advocates of Demo cricy. It was the sense of this great fact—that the imperial diadem of NAPOLEON was the helmet of the Revolution—which induced WILLIAM lIAZLITT, the London, radical philosopher of to become the pane gyrist of the King cnd Emperor. Others failed to anticipate the judr.er , t of posterity upon the victor of Austerlitz ; but before the conclusion of his reign of fifteen years, even they re cognised the error of their opposition.

'THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER l5, 1848.7 truth had been hitherto enigmatical ; it was under stood at that period, even by the democratic and cynical LITCIEN BONAPARTE. With the EMPEROR, fell for thirty-three years—from 1815 to 1848—the hopes inspired by the Revolution. At length Repub licanism has revived ; and now—while NAPOLEON reposes " on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people whom he loved so well"—that people are offering the most noble act of homage to his memory by electing the representative of his once powerful, dynasty to the office of their first President. Prince Louis NAPOLEON has an opportunity such as was seldom,f if ever, before granted to mortal. Without exertion he is lifted from the quietude of domestic life to the summit of a great Government. Educated in misfortune, his mind cultivated in child hood under the care of the beautiful and accomplished HORTENSE, his ideas enlarged by the prolonged con templation of the genius of the wonderful founder of his family—he is now, in the ripeness of his man hood, raised to the direction of the destinies of hi s country. The prisoner of Ham in 1845—in 1848 he is the President of the French Republic ! It is im. possible but that the mind of the Prince, at this solemn moment of his existence, must be impressed with an awful and almost overwhelming sense of the responsibility of his posi tion. Finding himself already installed in the chair of Presidency-1,100,000 votes out of 1,500,000 having been counted, even now, out of i lthe urns of election—he must take courage from the imminence of affairs, and, by a judicious selection of subordi nates, consolidate his administration. One circum ' stance has transpired within the last few hours which augurs well for the prudence of the suecessfal candi date. This very day, December the 15th, being the anniversary of the entombment of the remains of the Emperor NAPOLEON in the Church of the Inialides, would have been commemorated as usual by a funeral service, attended :in great state by the veterans of the Imperial army, clothed in their ancient uniforms—but that the PRINCE has issued an order of prohibition ; and the anniversary which might have led to incalculable disasters will pass off in profound tranquillity. Another act, emanating, according to report, from the mind of the future President, may be viewed as the omen of a felicitous circumspection on the part of his Government—we mean the ru moured promotion of General CAVAIGNAC to the rank of Marshal, with either the command of the army of the Alps or the Governorship of Algeria. By such measures the sway of the Prince-President might be inaugurated with conciliation ; and by a disinterested selection of _Ministers from all " parties," without prejudice, the Republic might be perma nently consolidated under the direction of a Bo- ' NAPARTE. The Liverpool Currency Reform Association have assumed a prominent position in the great con test that has already commenced. Their manifesto— a copy of which will be found in another column—is a document of peculiar value, to which we invite the attention of all unprejudiced and impartial persons. The propositions therein contained are cf a plain and simple character, and, if carried out in their integrity, will afford an easy and satisfactory solution to the great problem by which the public mind has so long been agitated, and supply the great desideratum, a circulating medium based on valuable property, which cannot be depreciated in value, and which will be adequate to the wants and exigencies of the nation. We have long insisted upon the adoption of a national bank, and the issue of national notes, secured upon the resources of the country, and which shall alone be received in pay ment of taxes and of every description of impost. The Liverpool Association have adopted the principal features of our plan, and, although there may be some minor differences as to details, they are of a trivial and unimportant character. Their sugges tions will, we trust, obtain the support bf all persons anxious to obtain a comprehensive alteration in our monetary code, and will unite the various sections of currency reformers. The association calls for " the establishment by Act of Parliament of a national bank, authorised to issue bank-notes on the receipt of consols, such notes varying in amount from one to a thousand pounds, to suit the convenience of the receiver," these notes to be the only legal tender throughout the United King dom, and to be convertible into value, that is to say into consols on demand it the National Bank. The consols to bear a fixed rate of interest, which will cease during the time they are in the bank." Such are the suggestions that have excited an extraordinary sensation in the camp of the bullionists, and which have called forth the strongest animadversions of one of the leading organs of the party. It was easily conceiv able that any proposition to dethrone the golden image that has been set up, and be fore ;which the nation has been prostrated for nearly thirty years, should provoke the anger of those who desire to maintain the present unjust and impo litic system in all its stringency. We would, how ever, scarcely have supposed that their ire could have blazed forth so strongly, that English consols should be compared with French assignats, the ordinary bugbear by which parties showing symptoms of re bellion against the potent sway of gold are to be frightened into submission. We are, however, told " that the proposed currency would be even less substantial than French assignats." Thus then, the funded property of the nation, that stoek in which so many thousands of our fellow subjects have invested the savings of their industry, by the possession of which they have confidently anticipated the enjoyment of the otium cum dig,nitate when retired from active pursuits, and relied upon leaving their wives and children in easy and inde pendent circumstances when deprived of their natural protectors,—all these, according to the bullionist theory, are perfectly visionary, affording no real security, of no actual value. We are told " that the assignats had a basis, a real, physical, subsisting capital, upon which they were issued"—that the national domains and lands which they professed to represent had an existence in rerum natura, though being unrealisable at the time, they possessed no present value. But the 800 millions of capital are in nubibus, the contem plated paper-money would represent a nonentity, and the projected National Bank is an institution worthy of "Utopia." And again, the case is compared to that of a landowner, who, with a rental of ten thousand a year, has borrowed 100,0001. and spent it, and has mortgaged his estate for half its value, and it is asked triumphantly, " Can the debtor establish a bank, and issue notes upon that founda tion ?" It is easy to expose the fallacies of these arguments. If they possess any real weight or authority, what becomes of the boasted securities for the convertibility of Bank of England paper, afforded by the Act of 1844 ? Are not notes to the amount of 14,000,000/, sterling issued by the Bank upon no better substratum ? Away with the flimsy pretext. L e t th e p a l pa bl e S a a n ti ind windle b e exposed forthwith in all its barefaced auda city. Sir ROBERT PEEL , Sir CHARLES Woo D , d M r . 0 cjionligxtsheLOYD have been gulling the people, n g rnrn m of the s t erline t o accept v il e counter f e i ts i n p l ace odity th a t s h ou ld alone b e Consols have no rea sanctioned or tolcrated • ;let is now p roc l a i me d t h at l vin sistent, bank -notes must 1:e and if the parties are con withdrawn, and nothing but gold circulated fro hand to hand ; tgold deposited areaeetiyond or atteligt there must be an am ou r' : in the coffers of the Bank equivale:fa amount issued, as it is at present, For al l entire 14,000,000/. sterling. If the parties the argument must be carried to that extent. consistent can be no halting between . two opinions. Lithe; Consols are a sufficient security for the entire circu. lation, or they are not for any portion thereof, however trifling. Which side of the question will th e builionists advocate ? Whatever side they m ay ad ;pt they must throw overboard the Act of 1844, and join the agitation for its abrogation. MISS JULIA BLEADEN'S CONCERT.—The first con- Ent of Miss Julia Bleaden (one of the most promising of:the pupils of Mr. Howard Glover) takes place at the Loudon Tavern, on Tuesday next. The talented deutante will be supported by Miss Rainforth, Miss Poole, Mr. Alien, and several other of our first vocalists and Gerhard Taylor, the most wonderful harpist of the d,3•, will perform a grand fantasia, with brilliant 1113. variations. Mr. Howard Glover is the conductor; anti from the arrangements made we anticipate that Miss,, Julia Blcaden's concert will be one of the most crowded of the season. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. It is calculated from the election returns, already received that Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE will be found to have received 66 per cent. of all the votes polled; General CAVAIGNAC, 21 per cent. ; LEDRU ROLLIN, 6 per cent. ; RASPAIL, 4 per cent.; and LAMARTINE, 3 per cent. The Committee of the Assembly appointed to inspect and cast up the votes have chosen M. ARMAND MARRAST for President, and M. Ducos for Secretary. They will not have completed their labours until Monday, and on Wed nesday the new President will probably be pro claimed. The official returns for Paris, published yesterday at the Hotel de Ville, are as follows : Louis Napoleon ... ... 198,484 Cavaignac ... 95,567 Ledru Rollin . 26,618 Raspail ... 15,871 Lamartine 3,833 Prince Louis NAPOLEON has experienced, it is said, much difficulty in restraining his too-injudi- ' cious friends, who, intoxicated by his unparalleled and unexampled triumph, already begin to talk of proclaiming the Empire. The Prince himself appears to be acting with great prudence and judgment. It has hitherto been the custom, on the anniversary of the funeral of the EMPEROR, for the remnants of the grand army to parade in their imperial uniforms, and to march to the tomb of the EMPEROR. The Prince has appealed to them to abstain from any celebration this year, as it might be made a pretext for disorders ; and, consequently, no celebration of the anniversary will this year take place. It is said that General CAVAIGNAC will be created a Marshal of France. Several of the members of the Assembly have called on Prince LOUIS, to congratulate him on his success. Marshal BUGHIUD has arrived in Paris. M. DUFAURE, it is said, resigned office yesterday. The Journal des Debats has the following on the question of the new Ministry : " The majority in favour of M. Louis Napoleon Bo naparte leaving now no doubt in the minds of any one as to his election, lists of his probable Ministry we re yesterday in circulation at the Chamber, and which will be published immediately after his proclamation as Pre sident of the Republic. In these combinations, none of which we, however, give as exact or definitive, M. Odilon Barrot is mentioned as Minister of Justice; M. Drouhyn de L'Huys, Foreign Affairs; M. de Malle vine, Interior; M. A. Fould, Finance; M. Leon Faucher, Public Works. These five gentlemen have, it is said, accepted their several portfolios. That of Finance, had, it is said, been first offered to M. d'Audeffret and M. Hy polite Passy, who refused it. General Oudinot is men. tioned as Minister of War, but he has not yet defi nitively accepted it. In the event of his refusal, General Rulhieres will be appointed, and General Oudinot sent as Ambassador to St. Petersburgh. The portfolio of the Marine has not yet been disposed of. M. Fr. Arago, Admiral Dupetit Thouars, and even M. J. de Lasteyrie, are severally spoken of. The department of Public Instruction has caused some unforeseen difficul ties. M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire was at first thought of, but now M. de Seze, the representative for Bordeaux, and M. de Falloux are mentioned as lik e l y to b e se lected. MM. de Tracy, Pagnerre, or Bineau, are the names sug gested as Minister of Commerce. General Changarnier will retain the command of the National Guards of the Seine and the troops in the garrison in Paris." With regard to numbers, the Debats says— " On Tuesday the advantage of Louis Napoleon over Cavaignac was as 2 to 3, or even as 3to 4. Yesterday (Wednesday) it might have been considered as 4 to 5, or even 6 to 7." The Siecle says—" France has willed that M. Louis BONAPARTE should be President of the Re public, and he will be so; and that with such an immense number of votes as must smooth away many difficulties, and give force to his government. But how will he employ that force ? Will it be to con solidate or weaken the Republican constitution ? If to affirm it—we shall aid him. But how can we persuade ourselves that such has been the intention of those who elected him, when we see that the greater number, and the most ardent, have used his name as a protest against the Government of the Republic ?" 'this paper dwells on the impossibility of Louts lioNApearz to bold together the mass of his sup porters, asking— " Partisans of the empire, do you believe that you alone are entitled to proclaim an Emperor? Conser vatives of the last reign, are you sure that your majo rity has returned, and that you can restore the consti tutional monarchy with a Prince or a Regent? Legi timists, do you think you can bring about a third resto ration? Certainly all these desires cannot be satisfied at once. The triumph of one of the three monarchies must be the humiliation of the rest. Your common interest, then, would be to sustain the institutions that exist on the basis of civilization and a fusion of all classes." On the morning of the election a deputation of Socialists and Red Republicans waited on M. LEDRU ROLLIN, and announced to him the intention of the Socialists and Red Republicans generally to vote for Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, for the purpose of securing for him an absolute majority, and thus en suring the defeat of General CAVIIGNAC. The Aioniteur contains the following " It is false that General Cavaignac has had, as stated by the Evenement, an interview with M. Ledru Rollin." M. ARMAND MARRAST was yesterday re-elected President of the National Assembly for the ensuing month. It is said that M. PASSY has accepted the Ministry of Finances, and M. DE FALLOUX, a Legitimatist, that of Public Instruction. RETURNS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SEINE. LOUIS NAPOLEON. CAVAIGNAC.

It has there been received with the greatest joy; everybody seems satisfied. Should the Prussian Government succeed in arriving at an amicable arrangement; and the conflict between the Crown and the people terminate peacefully, there is no doubt what ever that the measures adopted by thy-Prussian Govern ment will be pursued by the Austrian Government, as these two powers have, on the whole, been placed in very analogous circumstances during recent events. It is now more probable than ever that the sitting of the Diet will be speedily removed from Kremsier, not as we had hoped to continue its deliberations at Vienna, but to be dissolved. The Prussian Go vernment was impelled, by the conduct of the Assembly on the Brandenburg question, and on the refusal of taxes, to resort to a dissolution, and to give a constitu tion, which the Chambers, with their more than oppos ing elements, would in all probability never have brought to light. "The Diet of Kremsier will split on the Ministerial demand for SO millions. To judge from the Ministerial proceedings, we should say that there is only one of the following alternatives for the Chambers—either to refuse the 80 millions, in which case it will be dissolved as use less, or to grant the sum, after having done which it will be politely informed, that its services can now be dispensed with. It is confidently stated that two Czesch Ministers, without portfolio, are to be appointed, in order at all hazards to gain the Czeschs. Report still asserts confidently, that Francis Joseph intends to head the Hungarian army." The Pesth House of Representatives has declared the throne of Hungary vacant, and the House of Hapsburg unworthy to reign. PRUSSIA. The Berlin State Gazette of the 11th promulgates the following Royal ordonnance :—" From the Ist of January, 1849, the stamp duty imposed on political journals by the law of the 7th of March, 1822, shall cease, in conformity with Article 24 of the Constitu tion, to be laid upon the national journals, or upon foreign journals. A letter from Breslau of the Bth says, that Dr. BORCHHA.RDT was, on the preceding day, found guilty of high treason, and sentenced to imprisonment for twelve years in a fortress, and the loss of the na tional cockade ; and Dr. Oscu was condemned to one year's confinement in a fortress for attempting to ex cite insurrection. SOMMERFBLD, who commanded the detachment of soldiers that drove away the members of the National Assembly from the Schtitzenhaus on the 13th ult., has been dismissed the service for not reporting to head quarters the letter which he received from a lieute nant of his company, declaring that all persons who took part in the proceedings against the National As sembly were traitors to the state. As for the lieute nant (Herr TON WIEDBURG), he has been sent to the fortress of Spandau. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. An extensive demand sprung up for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday, speculators operating to the extent of 3,000 bales. The market closed with much excitement, and prices of all sorts of American were full id. per lb. higher. Other sorts unchanged. The sales were esti mated at 10,000 bales, via. 7,000 American at 31d. to 51d., 500 Pernam, &c., at 41d. to 51d; 1,000 Bahia at 41d. to 51d, 250 Egyptian at Sid. to 61c1., 1,000 Surat at 3d. to 31d., and 40 Sea Island at lid. to 141—Railway Shares were considerably better, and rather an animated and good business was transacted. Prices were also higher than on Wednesday. The Hamburgh mail has arrived, but the letters do not appear to bring any important news. In Germany affairs are considered to be settling down, and peace and good government are held to promise future prosperity. The attempt to " try back" upon free-trade principles is not only made here, but likewise in the North Ameri can colonies. We are informed that— On a requisition to the Mayor of Montreal, signed by upwards of 160 citisens, including the president, vice president, and eight other members (out of upwards of one hundred it is said) of the Board of Trade, for a pub lic meeting "to take into consideration the sub ject of the repeal or modification of the Na vigation Laws of Great Britain, as far as they relate to Canada, and the throwing open of the river St. Lawrence to vessels of all nations," his worship has called a meeting. The object is, apparently, to induce the British Government to throw open to foreign ves sels, the carrying trade between British ports, " a pri vilege granted to foreign vessels by no other Go vernment in the world, unless it be under treaties of reciprocity. Would the Government of the United States, or that of France, for instance, permit British or Canadian vessels to participate in the carrying trade between their own ports ? We doubt it very much. We have no objection, however, to the British Go vernment being petitioned to act more liberally in this respect than any other - Government does." So writes a colonial editor, and if we look to what is occur ring in Yorkshire, we hall find reason to conclude that the cause of free trade is likely to be vigorously assaulted and to require vigilant support, especially in the way of commercial facts, of which there are plenty, that might be occasionally brought in aid. These we shall not neglect to produce whenever opportunity serves. The Funds have been firm again this morning, but there is not much activity in the market, and for the moment the rise has received a cheek.

EMILE DE GIRAEDIN having been refused the Prefecture of the Police for himself, asked for the Ministry at War for his father, General DE GIRARDIE, and was also refused. M. EMILE then asked for the Ministry of Finance for himself, and of course met with a point blank refusal. The virtuous man threatens to go once more into opposition, and, like PAUL PRY, vows never to do a good-natured action again. — The first act of the new President will be, it is said, the proclamation of a general amnesty, from which the prisoners in Vincennes will be alone ex cepted. The National Assembly on Wednesday repealed the decree of the Provisional Government abolishing imprisonment for debt. M. ETIENNE ARAGo has, it is said, resigned the office of Postmaster-General. The most complete tranquillity prevails in Paris. There was one vote given in Paris to ABD-EI,. KADER. The supporter of the Arab chief for the Presidency of the French Republic was, it is said, M.

At the sitting of the Austrian Diet at Kremsier, on the 7th, the President read the following reply from the Entrzuou to the address presented to him by a2deputation of the Diet " I receive with veritable pleasure the address of the Constituent Diet. Though I have scarcely ascended the throne, my wishes and my inte n ti ons are we ll k nown to oy oo r . on l e, made you acquainted, in my manifesto, and by the declarations of my Minist ers , wi th m y fi rm an d ir revoca ble resolutions. It is for you, gentlemen, to complete with as little delay as possible the high mis sion with which you are intrusted for the welfare of the State. I hope that you will soon p resent f or my i mper i a l sanction the project of, a Constitution so impatiently expected by my people." Count STADION, the Minister of the Interior, then rose and made the following reply to the interpella tions which had been addressed to him a few days before by M. SCHUSELKA " Austria is not under a military dictatorship. The Executive power in every respect is exercised by the Monarch, under the responsibility of his councillors. All the organs of that po wer act in con cer t w ith th e Mi nistry, and its acts are in no manner swayed by uncon stitutional influences. Ext raor di nary c i rcumstances gave rise to exceptional measures at Vienna and Lem berg; the maintenance of the laws rendered them neces sary. The i nterests, not only of A us t r i a , b u t o f th e political civilization of all Europe were at stake. Liberty can only flourish on legal ground! " The Government of his Maj es t y, fi rm l y reso l ve d t o act engergetically against the internal and external ene mies of one great constitutional Austria, is aware of its rights and its duties, and, acting up to the latter, will never hesitate to accept th e responsibility of its acts and those of its organs. As re gar d s the except i onal state of Vienna, the Ministry has taken care that it shall be limited to what is imperiously necessary, and that no obstructions shall be thrown in the way of commerce and industry. " The addresses we have received from the legal au thorities and most important corporations of the capital, express their gratitude in this respect. Warlike prepa rations are on foot to put down insurrection, and it is to be hoped that internal peace will soon be re-established, and measures adopted to put an end to the present la mentable state of affairs. " The council of war sitting at Vienna to try' tbe in dividuals implicated in the late insurrection is one of the consequences of the state of siege. Martial law bas already been suspended, and the military jurisdiction been modified by the introduction of civic members. "The execution of a member of the German National Assembly, Robert Blum, took place in virtue of a sen tence of the council of war. The Central Pro►isional Power of the confederate states of Germany have sent two deputies here, , with full powers to confer on this subject with the Austrian authorities, and to take measures to see respected the laws passed on the 29th and 30th of September by the German Na tional Assembly. These commissaries, on their ar rival, requested to be shown the wits of the trial. This was immediately granted. The communication they made to the Ministry, after inspecting these documents, leads to the presumption that they were convinced, after their perusal, that in the sentence pronounced against Blum and Frobel, no violation had taken place of the martial law of Austria, but that the court had acted faithfully to its duties, and conformable to the law. Without contesting these facts, the commissaries have protested against the event, on the grounds that the laws of the 28th and 30th September had been disre garded. "Instructions have been given to the Austrian Pleni potentiary to the Central German Power to confer with it 'on the subject." The following was the last official document issued by the Emperor FERDINAND " Dear Count Dietricbstein,—For many years you have faithfully and loyally devoted your services to me and to my house. I wish you to enjoy the evening of your days, which God preserve, in the calm conscience of the services you have rendered, and of my gratitude, and as a mark thereof, I relieve you from your heavy duties in these stormy times, and confer upon you the Grand Cross of my Royal Hungarian order of St. Stephen. 2 FERDINAND, " FRANZ Count STADION. " 011 Milt; Dec. 1, 1848." The Moravian Diet has resolved 'to inscribe the late EMPEROR, in its archives, as " FiIEDINAND the Mild and the Good." The representative of the United States has, it is said, presented a lettter to WINDISCIPSEATZ from KossuTtr, asking for an armistice for three months. The Cologne Gazette has the following, under the head Vienna, Dec. 7 : " It is impossible that the announcement of the con stitution granted by the King of Prussia to his subjects amble e occasioned greater surprise in his own capital SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. RENDSUURGI, DEC. B.—The extraordinary com mission charged with investigating the case of the Pontoneers has not yet pronounced a verdict, but the inquiries are still being actively pursued. It is affirmed that after having duly investigated all the facts the extraordinary commission will make a re port to the ordinary court martial, by which the prisoners will then be tried, and receive sentence from that tribunal. The town itself has been quiet since the sth. The men who, as we have before stated, were disarmed, are now confined in the arsenal, where they are closely guarded by two companies. Fresh reinforcements of troops marched in yesterday. No popular tumult is again apprehended, but there ap pears to be some suspicion afloat relative to the troops. The Frankfort Journal states, in a letter from Co penhagen, the instructions which hare been given to the Danish Ambassador, who has gone to London for the purpose of carrying on the negotiations for peace. In the first class is the corporation of the whole of Schleswig, as laid down at the programme of the late Ministers ; in the second class is that of constituting Schleswig an independent State, indis solubly united to Denmark by personal union and equal hereditary succession ; and, thirdly, the accep• tance of the project for the partition of Schleswig, and on this point Denmark depends upon England, because that proposal emanated from her. This, however, is the very extreme to which Denmark will consent. ITALY. The Ministerial crisis at Turin still continues. Letters from that city of the 9th state that Gioia had given up all hopes of forming a Ministry, and that the KING had in consequence sent to MOFFA DE LISEO, who, however, had not returned any positive answer to his MAJESTY'S request. It was rumoured that the POPB would go to Maj orca. THE POPE. The Tempe of Naples of the Ist inst. says, that when the POPE admitted the officers of the garrison at Gaeta to kiss his feet, he said to them, with the greatest dignity and kindness, " Gentlemen, you form part of an army which is a model of discipline and fidelity, which, at the cost of its own blood, has maintained the supremacy of the laws, and preserved the kingdom from the scourge of anarchy." To the Marines, he said, "My children, you have been faithful to your Sovereign—remain faithful to him unto death.' The Holy PONTIFF then invited the KING, QUEEN, and Princes to dine with him. The Cardinal ANTONELLI also received at his table the French Ambassador, the Bavarian Ambassador and family, the Portuguese Ambassador, the elder diplo matists, the commander of the Tenare steamer, and their Majesties' suite. The King of NAPLES has placed at the command of the Holy FATHEZ Colonel NUNZIANTE and Major YOUG. In Trinity Church, after the first mass, the POPE proceeded to worship, when, with feelings of the highest emotion and extraordinary fervour, he was heard audibly to pray—" Eternal Gon, my August Master and Lord, behold, bending before you, your very unworthy Vicar, who, from the inner chamber of his heart, humbly solicits Thy benediction upon him, from that eternal throne upon which Thou art seated. Direct his footsteps, 0 Gond sanctify his intentions, overrule his mind, govern his actions in the place to which Thou hast conducted him by Thy inscrutable Providence; preserve him everywhere in Thy sheepfold, and cause him to be instrumental in promoting Thy glory and the good of Thy Church, now, alas ! sadly attacked by its enemies. If Thy just anger could be appeased— which has been excited in consequence of the indig nity cast upon Thy Church by the words, acts, and writings of the misled people—Thy servant would this moment willingly offer himself as a sacrifice be fore Thee. Thou gayest him life, Thou alone bast the right to recal it whenever it shall please Thee. But 0, my GOD, let thy glory be triumphant, and let thy Church be the conqueror. Maintain the good and the weak ; and sustain with thy Almighty arm all those who are in darkness and the shadow of death. Bless, 0 LORD, the Sovereign now prostrated before TREE (King of NAPLES) ; bless his dominions and his family ; bless all his subjects, and his faithful and honourable army ; bless the cardinals, the clergy, and the episcopacy, in order that they may all walk in the way of Thy commandments, and thus promote the holiness of Thy people. In this hope we shall be delivered, not only from the hands of the wicked and impious in this world, but we hope to be admitted into the realms of eternal glory, where we shall be safe and secure through the never-ending ages of eternity ."

Linder of the hydraulic press intended to be used at Ban gor to raise the tubes of the bridge at the Chester and Holyhead Railway was cast at the Bank Quay Foundry, Warrington. This cylinder is, we believe, the largest ever made for hydraulic purposes, and weighs about 25 tong. It will have to sustain a pressure of upwards of 1,000 tons when at work. THE MURDER AT BRIDGNORTH.—BRIDGNORTII, DEC. 13.—A1l the evidence that could ho adduced touching the death of Ann Newton was heard yester day, and at seven o'clock - last night the jury retired to consider their verdict. They were locked up for nearly eighteen hours, but could not ogres as to what verdict should be returned. At the expiration of that period, in consequence of some of the jurors becoming ex hausted, the Coroner adjourned the inquiry for a fbrt night. The prisoner, Mary Newton, was this morning apprehended on a magistrate's warrant for wilful murder, and the inquiry is now going on before a full bench of magistrates, and the prisoner, in all probability, will be fully committed to Shrewsbury gaol to take her trial at the next March avizea for wilful murder.
