Plunder and robbery seem to be the chief objects of the participators in the new Irish insurrection. The " boys " do rot manifest the slightest inclina tion to encounter a military or police force, or to try their chances in the field with the troops. The lesson taught by Inspector TRANT and his gallant associates, at Boulagh Common, too clearly proved the impossibility of an undisciplined and unofficered mob coping with a well-trained and organized body of men, however inferior in point of numbers they might be. The decisive defeat which the rebels sustained upon that occasion must have convinced any sane man how utterly hopeless was the attempt to extort concessions by force of arms, or to maintain an armed force in the field in opposition to the con stituted authorities. The leaders, who up to that time suppaaed that something might have been effected, were then convinced how utterly fallacious were the expectations they had cherished. The mis taken but chivalrous and high-minded SMITH O'BRIEN, thereupon virtually surrendered himself to the authorities. He despaired of carrying out his views; he saw that his continuing at liberty could be productive of no advantage to the country, that it could only involve those who might afford him shelter and protection in the.most serious consequences, and with an utter disregard of self he adopted a course that could only end in his appre hension. So long as he was at liberty property was strictly respected—no robberies were sanctioned by him—the food that was required for his associates was paid for to the uttermost farthing. Matters, however, now assume a very different aspect; there is no recognized leader of the misguided men who have joined the insurgent ranks. Various bodies move from place to place, carefully avoiding any conflict, and flying before the parties of military and constabulary that are in daily pursuit. The range of mountains in the disturbed districts of Tipperary and Waterford afford every facility to the fugitives to baffle any pursuit that can be instituted, they send forth their spies and scouts, who bring them the fullest intelli. gence of the movements of the police, and are pre pared to make predatory excursions on any point where there is a probability of obtaining a good booty. Notices are sent out to the neighbouring farmers, requiring them to bring in provisions of every description to the camp,! . and threatening the most stringent punishment if their commands should be disregarded, or if the produce of the farms should be sent to market, and not retained for home conscription. Cattle, whether belonging to friend or foe, are unhesitatingly carried off, and cooked in a summary manner for the use of the " patriots." Iron gates taken off the hinges are con verted into gigantic gridirons, over which whole oxen and sheep are dressed, and the rebel encampment for the time being is a scene of carousing and revelry. If a movement is made by the police, their camp is broken up for the time being, the insurgents disperse, and remain sheltered in ravines and bog holes until the wearied troops return to their barracks, when they re -assemble again, and the feasting and robbery are again commenced. Domiciliary visits are paid to those who have not forwarded their contributions and arms, money, and provisions are plundered without seiruple or ceremony. Now, although there may be nothing very dan gerous to the State in all this, it is intolerable that horde s of idle and reckless vagabonds should thus preyv upon th e i r b etter disposed and more orderly neighbours. The brigands must be put down, and protection be afforded to property in the coun try. The " black mail " system cannot be permitted t o fl ourish in the middle ' of the 19th cen tury. The nuisance has reached to too great an ex tent, and it must be abated at any cost. Simulta neous movements should be made so as to prevent the escape of the banditti, and stringent punishment should be infli c t e d upon those who may beca captured, Each day som e o f t h e robbers fall into the hands of . the authorities, but the, arrest of a few scoundrels is not sufficient to put an end to the system. A strik ing example must be made, that will instil terror into the minds of those who cannot be taught to respect their neighbours' goods. The Irish Government have the full power of doing this, let them not slumber bbeir posts. If the constabulary force is not suffi cient to scour all the ravines and mountain passes, to protect property, and enforce submission to the laws, let it be augmented to any extent that may be neces sary. The district where the additional force is tmutred must bear the entire expense thereof. It , quiet." will not fall upon the tranquil and peaceable locali ties; but were it otherwise, and that the amount should be satisfied out of the national exchequer, far better that such should be the case than that cow ardly miscreants should be permitted to carry on their atrocious doings with impunity, and hurl a contemptuous defiance at the law and the authorities. The majesty of the law must be vindicated, and its habitual violators must be promptly and efficiently put down. The Chartists, by mixing themselves up with the Communists, the physical-force plunderers et hoc genus omne, have thrown back the cause of the en franchisement of the working classes by a quarter of a century. They have enabled their enemies, the sticklers for exclusion, to give them " a bad name,' and we all know how the world is misled by a name. The more sensible among the Chartists themselves are aware of this fact, and have carefully abstained from mixing themselves up with " the physical-force" leaders, who are, we may ob serve, en passant, monopolists to a man, and whose aim appears to be to make the Chartists be con sidered only as the legitimate successors to the old Tory mob—that mob which obeyed the orders of Lord GEORGE GORDON in 1780, which sacked Dr. PRIESTLY'S house in 1790, and which has formed the staple of the " meal mobs" of Scotland from time immemorial. In fact, we strongly sus pect that the majority of these physical force advo cates are Tories in disguise, who have joined the Chartist movement solely for the purpose of betraying it. Under these circumstances it cannot but be gratifying to all those who are true friends of liberty, and who have the cause of the enfran chisement of the working classes at heart, to find that there are men of thought, men of talent, and men of influence, who are willing to consider the demands made by the the People's Charter, to discuss the document on principle with out reference to the misdeeds of many of its misled supporters, and to reason upon a great constitutional question after a constitutional manner. 'We congratulate the friends of peaceful pro gress, the " moral-force Chartists," those who seek to obtain their ends by reasoning, and by rea soning alone, on the circumstance that so high a constitutional authority as Professor CREASY, the Professor of History in University College, London, should have discussed the subject of the People's Charter in his recently-published and most valuable work, entitled "The Text Book of the Constitution."* In this book, after giving verbatim the Magna Charta, the Petition of Right, and the Bill of Rights, that code which CHATHAM called the Bible of the English Constitution, and after deducing from them those great principles which may be called par excellence constitutional, Professor CREASY pro ceeds to consider the People's Charter, and first he asks— " Is this new Charter constitutional ? " In the first place we may observe that in its terms in no way violates the constitution. It neither pro 'esses to attack the Crown, nor the House of Lords. The letter of no one of its articles contravenes any of those primary principles which we have deduced from the original Magna Charta of King John, and traced through our subsequent constitutional history. But the litter of a proposed measure is not solely to be consi dered. We must examine its spirit also ; and if we find that its certain effect would be to render the future peaceful working of our constituti.in impossible, we are bound to reject it as unconstitutional." He then proceeds to discuss the various points of the Charter. Ile considers the abolition of the pro perty qualification and the payment of Members as un objectionable, but unimportant. He prefers triennial to annual Parliaments on the score of convenience only, but considers that annual Parliaments are not unconstitutional, and will never produce a revolution. He approves of the ballot as an attempt to make elections quiet, pure, and harmless to the voters, and adds, " to call such an attempt un-English and un constitutional is one of the worst pieces of ig norant cant ever canted in this country." He objects to the equal representation by equal electoral districts as being "a gigantic development of the principle of centralisation, to the jealous restric tion of which our capability for free government is considered to be mainly owing," and also " as destroy ing the repreentation of the landed interest." There remains the claim for universal suffrage —a claim which Professor CREASY thinks every lover of the Con stitution is bound most peremptorily to oppose, as incompatible with the existence of either a House of Peers or a SOVEREIGN. But while rejecting uni versal suffrage, Professor GREASY admits that it is unjust to refuse to those of the hard-working mil lions who do not possess a 101. house in some favoured borough, or hold a forty-shilling freehold, all voice and influence in the choice of the People's Parliamentary representatives, and he pro poses to meet the difficulty after the following manner : " Let the present representative system of counties and boroughs be in the main preserved; but out of the representatives of the smaller and notoriously corrupt boroughs, and of the smaller counties, pare away fitt) members. Divide Great Britain into fifty electoral districts, according to the population, and let each of these districts return one Member, for whom no pro•• perty qualification should be required. Let him be paid wagt s by his constituents, in order to give working men the chance of becoming Members. Give a vote in the election of the district member to every male aged twenty-one years, who has no vote for any county or borough, who has resided for a year in the district, who has not been convicted of any criminal offence for the last seven years, or received parish relief for the last year, and who is able to read and write. Let there be an annual registration of district electors, according to these qualifications, and require of every district elector, at the time of registration, the payment of sixpence, to defray the Member's wages, and the expense of re gistration and election. Let the voting he by ballot. " This would give a vote to every man in the corn tnunity who is really desirous, and really fit to possess one." We by no means d es i re i t to b e understood that we coincide on every p o i n t w i t h P ro f essor CREASY. We think his objections to equal electoral districts are untenable, and we also think he greatly exaggerates the effects of universal suffrage, but we have felt it our duty to direct attention to this work of Professor CREASY, in order to show to the thoughtful, and honest, and high principled among the Chartist body, that their physical-force leaders are wilfully deceiving them when they state that the middle and upper classes deny them a fair hearing, and that if they are willing to discuss the principles of the Charter calmly and dispassionately, there are those who will enter into the discussion with them ; and we are firmly convinced that such calm and dispassionate discussion cannot but result in the adoption of measures which shall benefit all classes of the community. LATEST FROM IRELAND. The Electric Telegraph Company's express of this morning contains the following extract from the Dublin Pilot of the 20th inst. : " At a late hour yesterday we received a commu nication from our correspondent, giving details of the meeting of the peasantry on the hill of Mealiff after the withdrawal of the troops on Monday. We are assured that the hill was covered with people. " An immense meeting was to take place yester day at Drombane, and a gentleman who travelled that part of the country yesterday assures us that the chapel bells of the districts were ringing for the purpose of assembling the people. Other meetings are spoken of in the district of Castle Ot way, &c. " iVe have heard that many of the persons at yesterday's meeting were armed. " The guards of the trains report everything THE PARISIAN NATIONAL GUARD IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY.—This morning, the visitors to Westminster Abbey were astonished at the appearance of some officers of the Paris National Guard. On entering, their eyes were fixed on its lofty construction, and the monuments and its beautiful stained glass windows, but for a mo ment were surprised by the gownsman requiring some of their party to leave their sticks and canes till leaving the sacred edifice, a rule laid down for all for preventing the disfiguring of the monuments; ultimately an expla nation by their guide removed their surprise. They paid particular attention to the monuments of our naval heroes, and examined most minutely the various neatly cut naval and military figures on them. Their arrival here has been through the liberality of the South- Eastern Company only charging them half-price to and from England. • "The Text-book of the Constitution.

Creasy, M.A., Bar rister-at-Law, Professor of History in University Col lege, London, late Fellow of King'a College, Cambridge. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. 'We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. It appears certain that Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, M. ACIIILLE FOULD (the Ministerial candidate), and one of the Socialist candidates (either RASPAIL or TuoRE), will be returned for Paris. The National gives the following as the result of the poll ing within the arrondissements of Paris : Louis Napoleon ... ••• ... 74 727 , Fould ••• ••• •.. ... 58,761 Raspail ••• ... 55,273 Thor 6 ... 53.963 Cabet ... 53,490 Roger (du Nord) ... ••• 46 130 Adam ... 39,770 Bugeaud ••• 36,794 Delessert ••• 35,388 Girardin . . ... 21,011 Gervais (de Caen)... ... 7,897 The votes of the Banlieu, however, have yet to be reckoned, but the only variation they are likely to cause is the substitution of one Socialist candidate for another—of TIIORE for RASPAIL. The Deniocratie Pacifique gives the following as the latest statement : Louis Bonaparte ... ••• ... 76,641 Fould ..• ••• ... 61,776 'Chore ••• ... 59,462 Raspail ... 56.337 Cabet ••• ••• ••• ... 55,685 Roger (du Nord) ... ... 45,467 Adam ... •... 40,055 Bugeaud ••• ... 39,157 Delessert ... 38,135 Girardin 20,249 LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has also been elected in the department of the Moselle, in that of the Yonne, and in that of the Orne. M. PAILLET has been elected for Charente. Nothing positive is known as to the result of the elections in the depart ment of the north. In some of the arrondissements Colonel NEGRIER headed the lists by a large ma jority; in others Louis BONAPARTE and the Abbe DE GENOUDE were nearly on an equality with him. The sitting of the National Assembly on Tuesday was devoted to the discussion of the proposition of General LAMORICIERE for a vote of 50 millions of francs, to encourage colonization in Algeria. The vote was agreed to. The walls of Paris were on Tuesday placarded with a proclamation, purporting to be addressed by Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON to the French people, and announcing his arrival at Boulogne. The Prince's cousin, N APOLEON, has published a letter in the Prease, declaring this proclamation to be a forgery, as the Prince has not left London. The Constitutionnel says that the Government has received dispatches from Admiral BAUDIN, asking for instructions as to the course of conduct he is to pur sue towards the Austrian forces, which he knows for a certainty are preparing to occupy Venice. It was reported (although not upon good authority) that the Government, in reply, had ordered the Admiral to proceed with all his forces to Venice, and to defend that city against the Austrians if necessary. It would appear, however, that the Government enter tains no apprehensions of any disturbance of the present tranquillity, as all preparations for war have been ordered to be discontinued, and the army of the Alps is to be reduced by one-half. The Government has sent orders to the Commander of the fleet off Sicily to prevent the continuance of hostilities in that island. According to the Democratie Pacifique, Toulouse is at this moment the focus of numerous Legitimatist, intrigues. The conspirators are endeavouring to make Toulouse the centre of a Royalist movement which shall extend over the south of France. They have agents in numerous towns, and among the most conspicuous of them is a notary of Toulouse, who has long been " the man of business" of the clergy and the aristocracy of the neighbourhood. The Committee on the indemnity to be granted to the colonists for the emancipation of their slaves have completed their labours, and have appointed M. CRS^ MIEUX reporter. The Government proposed to grant an indemnity of ninety millions of francs. The Com mittee propose an indeminity of a hundred and twenty millions, eighty millions in money and forty millions in stock. The proposition of the Committee was warmly opposed by the Minister of Finance. The state of the Paris poll at four o'clock yesterday was reported to be as follows : Louis Napoleon ... ... 111,192 Fould ••• 75,518 Raspail . . ••• 66,815 Cabet ••• ... 64,815 Thole ••• 64,449 Roger (du Nord) ... 61,218 The following is given in the Cours iluthentique of the Paris Bourse as the state of the poll for the first three candidates on the list, or in other words, for the new Members for Paris : Louis Napoleon 100,000 Achille Fould 78,900 RasPail ••• 77,000 M. RIVET, a member of the Thiers' party, has been returned for Lyons. The Patric says—" 'We are informed that fresh disturbances occurred last night at Elbeuf, on the occasion of the law respecting the hours of work. A battalion of the line and another of the Garde Mobile have been sent off to that town." PARIS BOURSE.—WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20. THREE O'CLOCK.—The election again occupied the attention of the Bourse to-day, and general satisfaction was expressed at the success of M. Fould. An uneasy feeling is, however, prevalent here; and it is generally believed that we are on the eve of another political crisis. The coupon on the loan was detached to-day, which explains the apparent fall in that species of security. The Rentes close 4 per cent. below the clos ing prices of yesterday. Bons du TI Cur are at 21i dis count; Bank of France Shares have risen 51'.; Roman have risen per cent. ; Roth sc hild' s R eceipts are the same as yesterday.

They mention nothing of the accouchement of the Duchess of MONTPENSIER, although it had been sup posed that the event would have occurred ere this. The run on the Bank of San Fernando still con tinued, but hitherto every demand had been promptly met. The Carlists are represented as assembling every where in strong force. In Catalonia alone there are from 3,000 to 4,000 Carlists in arms. They are also congregated in great numbers in the Basque Pro vinces. Gallicia and Andalusia are ripe for revolt.

Letters from Smyrna of the 2d of September state that the cholera was snaking great ravages, but it was hoped that it had passed its culminating point. The deaths which for souse days amounted to upwards of 100 daily, came down on the 29th to between thirty and forty, and the last accounts were satis factory. At Magnesia, Cassaba, Salonica, and other places, the ravages of the epidemic were also very great. A letter from Salonica of the 23d of August says— The cholera is proceeding here in a frightful man ner. Yesterday between 100 and 110 bodies were car ried to the cemetery. For several days past the greatest mortality reigns among the Jews and Greeks. The deaths among them have been forty, fifty, and even as high as sixty per day. Yesterday and the day before it was the Turkish and Armenian quarters which suffered the most. There are also several Europeans dead, but there are no English among them. The whole of the family of M. Toselli, the Belgian Consul, have been attacked. Two of the daughters are dead, another has had a narrow escape, but is zecovering, and Madame Toselli is in great danger. The panic is incredible. Fathers run away from their children, and children from their parents, to escape the dreadful contagion. Among the Jews and Greeks the dead bodies have in many cases been left for 30 or 40 hours unburied. The English, French, Austrian, Sardinian, Spanish, and Dutch Consuls have not quitted have posts, e r tiect.A tho tL ug a h ris g sa re , a s t numbers errea,and Bitalia,of the iha the ee b h i e ta le n r t a s is also raging with great intensity, and great numbers are dying." Letters from Beyrouth, of the 25th of August, state that the cholera is decimating the inhabitants of Aleppo, Damascus, &c. The Earl of Eldon has returned to Hamilton-place from Shirley House, near Croydon. The Earl and Countess and family leave town shortly for Enoombe House, Dorsetshire. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRANKFORT. A monster meeting was held on the Ira, at which resolutions denouncing as traitors the members of the majority of the German Parliament who had voted in favour of ratifying the Danish armistice were agreed to, and the members themselves were called upon to resign their seats. The language used by the speakers was of the most inflammatory cha racter, and those present were to re-assemble the next morning. On the 18th they again met and pro ceeded to acts of open insurrection. Troops were called in, and after a severe conflict, they succeeded in dispersing the insurgents. PRUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette contains the following:— " BERLIN, SEPT. 15 —lt appears that the Earl of Westmoreland, immediately after the arrival of the in telligence from Frankfort of the first decision of the Diet relative to the armistice, sent a note to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, stating that he believed that he was acting according to the with of his Cabinet in declaring that the Queen of Great Britain, in her quality as gua rantee for the armistice of Malmo, would adopt every requisite measure for the maintenance of that armistice, even if It should involve an active defence of the rights guaranteed to Denmark by the Contention, and that he would send a definitive note to this effect as soon as he was informed of the resolutions of Lord Palmerston. It was probably this declaration which fortified Prussia in the resolutions which she announced at Frankfort. It is affirmed that our Cabinet has declared positively to the Central Power that without deviating in the least from its obligations as a German Government, it would, nevertheless,. eventually regard the armistice of Malmo as a distinct treaty with Denmark, and maintain it at every cost." " BERLIN, SEPT. 16.—A courier has arrived here by a special train from Hamburgh, bringing the intelligence that a Danish frigate has appeared at the mouth of the Elbe, and that three other ships of the line were ex pected there. This intelligence occasioned the greater sensation, as we have not yet received the definitive rati fication of the armistice from Frankfort, and the more so as we bare not at this moment a responsible Ministry at the helm. It was, however, considered that this mea sure, adopted by the Danish Government, was directed solely against the disturbances which had taken place in the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, and that no decisive measures could be adopted till we should receive more definite information. Nine days have now elapsed since the fall of the Ministry, and up to this moment we know nothing certain respecting their successors." O❑ the 17th, on the occasion of the return of one of the regiments from Schleswig-Holstein, there was a grand loyal demonstration at Potsdam, at which the KING and Royal Family were present, and were received enthusiastically. The noncommissioned officers and privates of the '2d Guard Regiment, with the consent of their colonel, have published a notice declaring that it is a gross calumny on the part of those who asserted that men of that regiment signed, or were even dis honoured by being asked to sign, an address to Stein or the Chamber; and that it is utterly false that the regiment was confined to barracks, or broke their arrest on the night of the riot. The number of cholera canes has considerably les sened in Berlin. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna of the 14th says—" The storm is over. The Ministry has given in. They have voted two millions as guarantee for the shares of Swobada's Industrial Aid Association. Fearful de vestation was committed in the Home Department, but the Archives were left untouched. M. SWOBADA'S plan is to issue shares to the amount of four millions. These shares are to have the value, and not only the value, but, what is more important, the validity, of current coin; they are to be accepted as such by the public, and be paid to th• members of the association as current coin, similar to i3ank•bills and Exchequer-bills. These shares will be given to artisans as a loan, and every receiver of such loan is bound to return four florins in every fifty per month, into the bank of the association, which re payments enable the association to redeem the shares issued. Knots of persons continue to assemble. The students and the workmen fraternize. The city is in great fermentation, and a serious conflict may yet be apprehended. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. The Agram Gazette publishes the following:— " HEAD QUARTERS OF TUE. CROATIAN SLAVONIAN ARMY IN WARASDIN, SEPT. 11.—This morning, at half-past five o'clock, our army and the Kempen division cressed the Drave. The Bann and his train hare al ready returned to the head• quarters, having been every where received with acclamations by the people. Redelie and Cakaturn have submitted to our troops without a blow. The third battalion of Ernst has joined our troops. To-morrow our head-quarters will remove to Redelie." WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. A letter from Bucharest of the 4th inst. says— " It is known that Soliman Pach a , a f ter h av i ng for mally recognised the new Governm ent e l ecte d b y the bad invited an people, under the n ame o f the lieutenancy, the consuls of foreign powers to enter into official relations with that Government, The following is the note addressed on that subject by Soliman Pacha to the Russian Consul, M. Kotzebue, who had retired to the Wallachiats frontier, after protesting against the late events at Bucharest: — .4 Th e undersipned Soliman Pacha, charged with an extraordinary mission in Wallachia, has the honour to officially inform the Consul-General, that the Provi sional Government created at Bucharest in consequence of the late events, has just been dissolved and replaced by a lieutenancy, composed of three members. Soli man Pucha invites the Consul-General to re-establish his official relations with the said lieutenancy, which the undersigned now recommend in the name of his Highness, the Sultan, as the legitimate Government of Wallachia. " SOLIMAN PACIIA.'" The Russian Consul not paying any attention to this note, has returned to Bucharest. On the other hand, Russia, by a note delivered to her Ambassador at Constantinople, M. TITOFF, has declared to the Porte, that if the former order of things was not re-established in Wallachia, if a Prince was not immediately named, not by election, but by autho rity; if martial law was not proclaimed, and the leaders of the revolution executed; if the Principali ties did not pay the expenses of their occupation by the troops of the EMPEROR, she would declare war against Turkey, and give orders to leaders to march with the army encamped in Bessarabia. Whilst Rus sia is holding out these threats against Turkey, the latter is organizing an army of 300,000 Turks and Egyptians, to be placed under the orders of IBRANIM PACIIA, and preparing for the struggle. An aide-de camp of SOLIMAN PACHA has in consequence carried to General DULIAMEL, at Jassy, a request to with draw his troops from Moldavia, in order to leave the field free to introduce there order and indispensable reform s as in Wallachia. The Prussian General re plied that he could only act on the orders of M. TPTOFF, and SOLIMA N lIACIIA then left for Constan tinople. The ac counts f rom T ransy l van i a are very the satisfactory; h agitation e ki u o n f g t a h r e i a n p s their e of R°llinania has had its effect , ncritical position, have felt the necessity of at length proposing a frank and fraternal alliance with the Roumanians of Transylvania and Hungary. Count IVEsuEurir and the Minister of the Interior have made two speeches in the Diet to this effect. The Roumanians say that " they have the same right to liberty as ourselves, and, like us, they fi nd themselves placed in a dangerous state of isolatio n . United we should be strong; di vided we shall b e swallowed up, both one and the other, either by the Sclavonians or the Germans." ITALY. A letter from SICILY. Naples of th e 11th g i ves th e follow ing description o f t h e bombardment of Messina : " The Neapolitan squadron, which is composed of twenty steamers, two frigates, and several gun-boats, was moored to the south of Messina, under protection of the batteries of the citadel, from the Ist, and did not commence a serious attack until the 3d. To the well sustained fire from the citadel, the forts commanding the town, which were in the hands of the besieged, answered but feebly. Until the 6th nothing very decisive took place, the Neapolitan steamers cruising about, and the cannon roaring. About 500 Swiss, landed on the beach, gained possession of a small redoubt at the entrance of the town; but they were driven out of it with a loss of sixty of their men killed. Tho small column, nevertheless, retired in good order. At this mo ment the enthusiasm of the Messinese became unre strained, and their shouts of victory reached the ships in the roadstead. Several of their chiefs went on board the French ship Hercule, and their exultation was so great that nothing less than a terrible conflict could be expected. D uring the 6th the cannonade became hotter and h o t ter. The citadel kept up an incessant shower of shells upon the city, making great ravages, and the least e xasperated among the Messinese began t o be discouraged, an d the same evening a great number took refuge on board the French and English ships of I war. In the m orn i ng o f t h e 7th all order and confidnee i were at an end; doubt and uncertainty prevailed, and the cause of independence sunk. A capitulation was proposed. Captain Nonay, of the Hercule, and Cap tain Robb, of the English steam-frigate Bulldog, has tened to offer their mediation, but were unable to bring General Filangieri, Cominander-in-Chief of the Neapo litans, and the delegates from the Messinese, to an un derstanding. The cannonade, which had for the mo ment been suspended, was resumed, and became more tremendous than on the preceding day. The army was landed, and the steamers ran into the port to support its operations. In a few more minutes the Neapolitans were in the town, and took possession of all the forts without having to fire a shot. On the Bth the firing ceased, and all was calm. The country around pre sented the aspect of desolation, and several quar ters of the town were on fire. A very large portion of the population —more than 10,000 persons of all ages and both stxes—sought refuge on board the Hercule, Panama, 'and Bulldog. Numerous families went into the country. The pen refuses to trace the horrors com mitted on both sides. There were actually acts of can nibalism; bodies were seen cut up into pieces, roasted, and eaten! Thus were about sixty prisoners, both Neapolitans and Swiss, treated by the Sicilians at the date of these accounts. All the Neapolitan army had landed and taken possession of Messina, which naturally becomes the basis of operations. We learn that the greater number of persons who had taken refuge on board the French and English ships at the moment of the taking of Messina have returned. Those who are most compromised, about 200 in number, will be con veyed to other parts of Sicily. A telegraphic dispatch from Messina, of the 9th, states that the fires, which had broken out in different parts of the town, have been extinguished, that order has been restored, and property respected. Meluzza is stated to have given in its sub mission." PIEDMONT AND LOMBARDY RADETZKY has declined to consent to the proposed prolongation of the armistice for six weeks without instructions (for which he has written) from the Austrian Government; but until these instructions arrive he will not break it unless he is attacked. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 15th announces the arrival at Ancona of the Sardinian fleet on the 9th, with 2,000 men of the Piedmontese garrison of Venice on board. Major• General DELLA MARMORA is among them. The Pensiero Italiano of Genoa, of the 14th, pub lishes a protest signed by the Royal Commissioners of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza, dated from Castel San Giovanni, Sept. 9, against a decree of the Austrian military governor, Count Tutatic, instituting a Provisional Government at Piacenza. TUSCANY AND ROME. All was quiet at Leghorn on the 11th. The Go vernment has got the upper hand by persuasion and conciliation. The municipality are assembled; the extraordinary commissions are dissolved, except that for public security, which is necessary in the absence of the police. A provisional civic guard is re organizing. The Conciliatore of Florence, of the 9th, announces from Rome that the political league between Sardinia, Tuscany, and Rome is all but signed. In the project a Diet is instituted, with the right of declaring war and concluding peace. PARETO, ROSMINI, and the Tuscan Minister are armed with full powers to sign the document. The assent of the other Italian powers is expected. The PONTIFF is glad of such a means of saving his responsibility on the subject of war, which he could not conciliate with his office of Supreme Pontiff. THE METROPOLITAN COMMIS SIONERS OF SEWERS.—(TIIIS DAY.) The Metropolitan Sanitary Commission held a Court of Sewers this morning, at the Court-house, Greek street, Soho, to authorise the quarterly pa)ment of their officers' salaries and the expenses of their executive. It was intimated that the Lord Chancellor had not yet issued his warrant nominating the Commissioners under the new Act, but it was expected every day, and the moment it was received a Court would be held to enable the present Commissioners to surrender their functions into the hands of their successors. Mr. Thomas Mitchell, of Beresford-street, Newington, was fined !M. for neglecting to obey the order of the Court in reference to the removal of a nuisance on his premises. The Court adjourned till Thursday, October 12. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO - SCOTLAND. BRIDGE OF CRATHIE, MONDAY EVENING.---HeF Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, ac companied by Lord John Russell, Sir James Clark, Mr. Anson, Lady Gainsborou g h, an d L a d y C. Mur ray, attended Divine service in the parish church. An excellent sermon was preached by Mr. Anderson, the parish minister, from the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians, chap. ii., ver. 3—" Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." The church was well filled, and among the congre gation was most of the visitors in this locality. We are glad to learn that her Majesty has suffered no inconvenience from the cold and wet on her visit to Lochnagar on Saturday. CO URT CIRC ULAR. OSBORNE, TUESDAY. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alice and the other younger branches of the Royal Family take their usual exercise about the grounds. On Saturday last her Serene Highness the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenburg, the Princess Eliza, and Prince Victor, accompanied her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent to Englehurst in her Majesty's yacht the Fairy, attended by the Baroness de Speth, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, the Hon. Miss Lyttelton, Lord George Lennox, Sir George Couper, and Colonel Berkeley. The royal party landed on the beach under the Old Tower, and after walking about the grounds honoured Mrs. Berkeley Drummond with their company at luncheon. At four o'clock they re-embarked on board the Fairy and returned to Osborne. Count de Revel, the Sardinian Minister, transacted business yesterday at the Foreign•office. Dispatches were received yesterday, at the Colo nial-office, front the Governor of Canada, and also from the Governors of the other North American Colonies. Dispatches were sent off on Tuesday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of Malta, and also for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. STATUE OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—Yester day preparations commenced within the Tower of Lon don for the erection of a colossal granite statue of the Duke of Wellington, similar to that of King William the Fourth at New London• bridge. It is to be placed mid way between the white tower and the green, fronting the noble flight of steps leading from Traitors'-gate. The pedestal will occupy a space of 144 square feet. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A marriage is said to be on the tapis between Mr. George Cavendish, of the Ist Life Guards, youngest son of Major-General the Hon. Henry F. C. Cavendish, and Miss Rumbold, only daughter of the late Sir William Rumbold, Bart., and niece of the Baron and Baroness de Delmar. THE HAMPTON COURT VlNE.—This noble vine, more than 120 years o ld, near l y as ma ny feet in length, its stem 32 inches in circumference, is now laden with more than 2,000 bunches of fine grapes, rapidly ripening, and weighing on an average 17 ounces each bunch, or in the whole nearly one ton. They are of the finest black Hamburgh kind, and are said to be reserved chiefly for the Queen's table. ST. IVES.—Mr. John Stevens, of Treve, Phillack, has a ewe now in his possession that yenned a fine lamb last February, and on Monday it yeaned another—an unheard-of case in this neighbourhood. Both lambs with their dam are well.— Western Luminary. WINDSOR CASTLE, WEDNESDAY EVENlNG.—Yes terday, so early as eleven o'clock in the morning, the persons in attendance for the admission of visitors to the :ate apartments were taken by surprise, by the sudden appearance of more th an a th o usand visitors in one body, who had just arrived by the new line of railway from Waterloo-bridge to Datchet. Each of these persons had been furnished with a day-ticket, of which the following is a copy:—" Special Express Train—Excursion to Windsor and back, on Tuesday, the 19th September.— This ticket will admit the bearer to view the state apart ments on presentation at the Lord Chamberlain's Offic e , Windsor Castle, between the hours of one and four. Ticket, 3 5 . Signed, EDWARD RICK ETTS ." I t appears that the directors of the railway had given no notice to the persons in attendance of this extraordinary consign ment of visitors, and considerable delay took place whilst the written tickets for their admission were being filled up. SALE OF A CHAPEL.—The Wesleyan chapel in St. Mary-axe, which is held under the Skinners' Company for an unexpired term of twenty years, was sold by the trustees at Garraway's yesterday. There was but a thin attendance, and a sale was eventually effected at 704 INFLUX OF VISITORS TO INVERNESS.—S O great was the influx of visitors last week to Inverness that not a single bed could be got on Tuesday night, either in the Caledonian, Union, Royal, or Commercial Hotels, for love or money —every bed room in these respective hotels being taken at a large extra charge. Indeed, throughout the season, the influx of visitors to the High land capital has been greater than during any season before.—Scotch paper. THE BRAZILS.— The Willian Russell, Captain Golding, arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday, with com mercial accounts from Pernambuco to the 12th of August. Trade at that port was rather dull; freights had a downward tendency, and exchange on England was nominal, at 25d. The Swordfish, Captain Green, was to sail from Pernambuco for Liverpool on the lath of August. The Earl and Countess of Aboyne, who are staying with the Marquis of Huntly at Aboyne Castle, Aber deenshire, are expected to return to Orton House, mar Peterborough, early in the ensuing month for the winter, 1848, oNE plucEs OF BRITISH FUNDS.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather firm. Sales, 5,000 bales. Railway Shares were somewhat steadier. Yesterday afternoon the letters per Britannia were delivered, and upon the whole it cannot be said that they give a very favourable representation concerning the state of many departments of trade. The manu facturing interest in the United States appears to suffer greatly, although they have found some new outlets for their goods. The fact appears to be, however, that fo reign competition presses them very sorely. In the week ending September 1, the imports of merchandise at New York were valued at 3,143,743 dollars, against only 2,522.333 dollars in the corresponding period of 1847. It is made a subject of complaint by one writer that the manufacturers of Europe force their fabrics upon the United States markets, in whatever quantities they deem fit, and that it is no more than fair that we should take their breadstuffs in return. No objection can be made to this system of reciprocity, for it is precisely what free trade, without the aid of special treaties, is intended to bring about; but, at the same time, we may be permitted, in a spirit of nationality, to desire that our food requirements may be confined within reasonable limits. It is attested by recent Parliamentary returns, that when we take the largest quantity of breadstuffs from America, we export to that country an increased quantity of textile and other goods; a proof that Brother Jonathan is a liberal cus tomer, and parts freely with cash when he has it. No nations in the world are better adapted than England and the United States to carry on trade upon a footing of liberality and mutual advantage. The following article from the Quebec Chronicle con firms the statement which we noticed yesterday, that in future goods destined for Upper Canada were to be allowed to pass up from Quebec without being ware housed or paying the import duties in Montreal:— " The steamer Comet arrived here on Sunday morn ing from Hamilton, having discharged her cargo at Mon treal, where she again took in a full freight from that port from Quebec. She left there again last night on her return voyage to Hamilton, deeply laden with freight and passengers, the fare right through being only 20s. We are informed that a portion of her cargo was taken from the bonded warehouse for merchants in Hamilton, the only expense attendant on a transaction of this nature being the payment of a Custom-house broker for obtain ing the requisite permit, the parties for whom the goods are intended paying the duties on their arri►al at the port of destination. By this means goods can be trans shipped from the vessel into the steamer, and sent direct either to Hamilton or any intermediate port, thus ob viating the tedious process which has hitherto obtained with reference to freight for Canada West, namely, dis charging them at Quebec and reshipping them for Mon treal, to undergo another transshipment there. The enterprise so judiciously commenced by the proprietors of the Comet has opened the eyes of the mercantile com munity in Canada to the vast saving in outlay as well as time by the facility thus afforded; and we have not the least doubt but that next year we shall witness a brisk trade in operation between Quebec and the Western country, which is even now shadowed forth by the suc cess which has attended the trial trips of the Comet and the Britannia." Accounts of May 6th have been received from Sydney, and to corresponding dates from other parts of Australia, but as far as our examination extends of the various files of papers, we find nothing important therein. The colonies generally were flourishing. Cape of Good Hope advices of July represent affairs as being tranquil, both on the frontier and at Natal. A very fully attended meeting of Bank of England proprietors has been held this morning, and it has been a subject of warm debate whether the dividend and bonus should be 3} or 4} per cent. The result seemed favourable to the higher rate, and a ballot has been demanded. A report of the proceedings appears in another column of The Sun. The Esiglish Stock Market is exceedingly quiet again. Consols are 86A-to for Transfer, and about the same for Account. At present 86i f is the nearer price. Ex chequer bills of March are 30s. to 335. premium. Ihe Foreign Securities are steady. Spanish Three per Cents. are 23 to k, and the Five per Cents. 11i Portuguese Four per Cents. are 22, and Brazilian 75. Mexican Stock is 164 and Russian 99. Dutch Two and-a- Half per Cents, have been at 444. Railway Shares are looking rather better again to day, with a moderate business doing.
