Mr. Bethell stated that the trade-mark " Wedgwood" had been used by the family of the Wedgwoods for centuries ; he would not, havrever; go further into the matter at present, because Mr. Parker appeared fur the defendants, and it might became unnecessary, whit Mons and himself it had been arranged by consent, on Mr. Parker's ifrp l ication on behalf of the defendants for time to answer the plain tiffs' affidavits, that the motion should stand over until the second Seal in Michaelmas Term nett; and that, in the mean time, the defendants should be vestrained as above stated, except that for the words " since tae month of December, 1846," the words " since the month of July, 1847," should be substituted.

Rumours of the most extraordinary character were afloat- in Berlin, according to our latest intelligence. Some whispered that Magdeburg was in a state of siege; others went so far as to assert that Sans-Souci had been committed to the flames like the residence of the COll4 VO'N BRAIIDEN BURG. When the des perate positioj of the monarchy of Prussia is taken i n t o odksideration, it becomes anything but surprising to find Such reports as the foregoing circulated among the inhabitants of the capital. That the people should receive the despotic and retrogressive measures of the SOSTBRBIGN with an appearance of submission, or that they should protest against the abhorred policy of the new Administration, merely by assuming as attitude of passive resistance, is about the most improbable thing that can well be imagined. /I ,, lt At werf, as, reasenable to anti ci p ate an enthusiastic „,-- 'At (ii-ne for the Schvvartzenburg Ministry from the / 41:::',.-,,-.-__ l riennese, as to look for obedience to the .13randen i4•7:1k..r-'7;l_,. ,I` : itni,i • „. from the Berliners.

FERDINAND remains at 011mutz, issuing frem his seclusion those edicts which result in the shedding of the blood of the bravest children of Austria. FREDERICK WILUELM continues at Potsdam, developing in that base retreat of his hypocrisy the schemes which tend to the subjuga tion of the heroic Prussians. WRANGEL holds his sword in a threatening posture above Berlin. WIN DISCHGRATZ exercises the same inexorable authority over Vienna. SCHWARTZENBURG has assumed the reins of the Austrian Government, and gathers them up with the distracting and unendurable tension of Absolutism. BRANDENBURG has gratified his con servative, or rather his repressive and retrogressive, predilections, by occupying in Prussia the same office of danger and unpopularity. In both capitals there are the ecattered members of a Diet at open war with the minions of the re spective sovereigns. In both then are the ripening seeds of a new and final revolution. In both are men weighed down by circumstances among the ranks of criminals, their only atrocity being their patriotism, their only title to the abhorrence of the ruling powers being their exalted civism and their unequalled audacity. Suddenly, in the midst of this tremendous crisis, the great Germanic Parliament at Frankfort-on-the- M a i ne has interposed ; and with their paramount voice the representatives of United Germany have declared for the People and against the Sovereigns. An abrupt change has con sequently taken place in the situation of affairs both in Prussia and in,Austria. The doom of both.dy nasties, the dynasty of Brandenburg as well as that of Hapsburg-Lorraine, has been pronounced, unless the present despotic adventures of the soldiers of PUEDE.. RICK Wrhuskst and of FERDINAND be at once and permanently abandoned. It has been resolved upon by the Diet of Frankfort, that the Assembly at Berlin has acted in a manner worthy of the admira tion of contemporaries, and of the gratitude of pos terity, in resisting the unconstitutional proceedings of the Prussian Sovereign. In the same sitting, the Su preme German Parliament has declared the execution of Bhum, the celebrated publisher of Leipzig, to have been nothing leis diabolical than murder, and have, in addition to this declaration, dispatched two com missioners to the city of Vienna ,to demand satisfac tion for the insult thus offered to the Germanic na tionality, as well as to insist upon the instant punish ment of those who have dared to become the murderers of a German representative. To demonstrate that the latter resolution is not an act of superfluous rigour is by no means difficult, seeing that the newly ap pointed members of the Austrian Cabinet! have themselves appealed to Fieli-Marshal the Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, beseeching him to behave less rigorously to the unfortunate Viennese. A powerful argument will be Lund in our foreign correspond ence from Vienna, proving the coldblooded murder of BLUM to have been not only a ferocious act of assassination on the part of WINDISCHGRATZ, but one of matchless treachery on the part of FERDINAND. In expiation of that grand crime against the sove reignty of the people and the nationality of the united fatherland, the Austrian Generalissimo and the Austrian EMPEROR will have to bow down to the decision of the Frankfort Parliament. Before, however, we refer to the insurmountable nature of the . embarrassment thus thrown in the way of the tyrannous and retrogressive Sovereignties of Prussia and Austria, we would incidentally allude to one of the preposterous pleas advanced by the Conservative journals of London in behalf of the Government of the house of Brandenburg. It is argued by our Contemporaries that the gentlemen of Pomerania, and the merchants of Saxony, and the agriculturists of Silesia, should feel themselves called upon by their ancient senti ments of loyalty to rally round FREDERICK WIL HELM IV., the head of the house of Brandenburg, the last representative of an ancient dynasty ! Why, throughout the length and breadth of Christendom, there is scarcely to be found a more upstart dynasty than that of the mushroom house of Brandenburg! Scarcely a hundred years ago the comparatively insignificant Electorate of Brandenburg had not emerged to anything approximating to either dignity or independence among the dominions of Europe. Subsequently the little kingdom of Prussia extended merely from the mouth of the Niemen to the mouth of the Vistula. Next came the partitions of Poland and the absorption of the principal portion of Silesia, together with the seizure of Lusatia, a part of Saxony, and the whole of Pomerania! The Robber-Dynasty of Brandenburg emerged from its obscurity, and the diadem of Prussia was adorned with the jewels pillaged from the sur rounding territories. The Electorate, aided by the unprincipled policy of its Government, by unparal leled good fortune, and by the military genius of the Great FREDERIEK, abruptly rose to distinction as one of the principal kingdoms of central Europe. And it is this parvenu dynasty of Brandenburg that sixteen millions of people are called upon to environ with the protection of their ancient loyalty. Instead of look ing for encouragement from the population of Prussia in his present tyrannous and atrocious pro ceedings, it would be well for FREDERICK WILHELM to consider whether he may not speedily be called upon to subside from the pomp of royalty into the in ferior state attendant upon an Elector of the petty Duchy of Brandenburg. The proceedings of the United Diet at Frankfort on-the-Maine are not less paramount than they are peremptory. Austria and Prussia are alike pledged to submission : the EMPEROR, by the circumstances of his uncle the Archduke JOHN being installed in the supreme dignity of REGENT of all Germany , without taking into account the other guarantees afforded by him of his adhesion to the High Parliament assembled in St. Paul's Cathedral at Frankfort, such, for example, as his previous submission to the decrees of the Diet and the sending of Austrian deputies to participate in its delibera tion ; the KING, in like manner, is pledged irre trievably to obedience by all his preceding efforts towards the proclamation of one indivisible nationa lity. Between the decrees of the Frankfort Parlia ment, therefore, and the enthusiastic patriotism of the people, the KING and the EMPEROR, are at this moment situated. They must either yield or perish. Supposing them to be insane enough to set at defiance the will of the Germans and the commands of the German Parliament, Austria and Prussia will very speedily be in one vast conflagration. The "Bears" are still labouring in their vocation zealously and indefatigably. The game which they had carried on with so much success for a consider able time, was by far too profitable to be relinquished without a determined struggle. The enormous gains they had realised during that period enabled them to sustain losses which, under other circumstances, would have proved absolutely ruinous, and driven them with disgrace from the precincts of Capel- court. They are now making a despe rate, and it is to be hoped a final, exertion to retrieve their recent losses, and to bring matters again to their former condition, when they can dip their hands into the pockets of bona fide shareholders, and plunder their victims with complete impunity. Unwarned by the results of the two last settlements of accounts, they still persist in selling property which they have not in their possession or power, hopi ng t h at they will be enabled at the last m o om e e r n , t to borrow stock sufficient to carry them through their difficulties' in the event of thefpur chasers insisting upon an actual delivery shares which they have un d ertaken to transferuPon the th e a ppointed day. Th e y may perchance find them selves mistaken in this respect. If those interested in railway stock are only true to themselves, and adopt the most simple precautions for their own pro tection, their assailants must be signally defeated. It is manifest that stock cannot be lent for even a few days without the consent of the actual pro prietors thereof. The latter may, perhaps, b e tempted by the exorbitant price offered for She temporary accommodation, but a mo ment's consideration should induce them to reject any temporary advantage, however tempting, when the object of the parties by whom it is offered rust be to occasion a serious depression in the value of the property they are borrowing at the moment. As we have repeatedly pointed out, it is necessary that railway proprietors should co operate tcgether fur their common benefit. They have a formidable enemy to contend against, who will not scrupl , 3 at any means by which their object may be attained. Any isolated exertions will be wholly inefficient against a foe so persevering and malignant. They may derive instruction from the old fable of " The Bundle of Sticks ;" singly, they will fall easy vic tims, but united, they will be invincible, and may defy every attack that can be made. One of the most obvious precautions that should be taken by railway proprietors would be to adopt a fixed resolution that nothing shall induce them to afford any facility to the " bearish " operations, that they will not suffer their shares to be made use of, for the purpose of supporting the credit, and strengthening the position of their assailants. They should therefore issue the most stringent instructions to those intrusted' with the custody of their stock not to lend it under any circumstances, or for any ►urpose whatsoever, to those who desire to use it for purposes so detrimental to the interests of the general body of shareholders. Indeed, a loan even to inno. cent parties, who might seek it as a means of obtain ing pecuniary assistance for a brief period is to be deprecated, because the shares so borrowed must be rent into the market to be disposed of. The supply will thus be increased, and, as a natural consequence, prices diminished in a proportionate degree. It will be manifest to any person looking atten tively to the proceedings in the Stock Exchange that the general fall which took place yesterday is ascribable in a great degree, if not altogether, to speculative sales by the " Bears," who have thereby succeeded in depressing the quotations. The account day had just ;one by—nearly a fortnight must elapse before an other settlement will take place. The former one had been got through by borrowing stock, payment of differences, and the various other devices in which the "Bears" are such practised adepts when matters press severely upon them. There is, therefore, ample time for the operations with which they are so familiar. They are well aware of the value of combined action, and therefore no sooner had the last account been arranged than a determined line of action was adopted. Several parties simultaneously appeared as sellers, and thus prices were generally quoted at a decline, although the various " statements" that have been issued from the most influential companies afforded the most con vincing and satisfactory evidence of the soundness and stability of the undertakings, of the handsome dividends that might be expected by the share holders, and of the comparatively small amount of the expenditure for which they will have to provide. There were other circumstances, also, which should have had a favourable ten• dency. Money was abundant and at an easy rate of interest, and there was a considerable improve went in the public funds : all these considerations should have materially increased prices, but on the contrary, a considerable fall took place, and there was a general appearance of languor and depression. this, however, cannot last. If persons rush reek iessly into the market to sell that which they have not in their possession, of course it will, for the time being, diminish the nominal value; but the day of reckoning will at length arrive, and unless the share holders should be so silly as to fall into the nets spread for them, the "Bears " will again have to deplore their rashness, and to pay largely for their iniquitous efforts to plunder their fellow-citizens of their property. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Parisyagers of yesterday. In the sitting of the Assembly, 20 additional cones were granted to Members. In putting the question, M. ARMAND MARRAST announced his in tention of addressing a letter through the Moniteur to those Members who had been absent more than a fort night, requesting thom to return. It is said that M. LEDRU Romax is no longer a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. He has resigned in favour of M. RASPAIL. There was another banquet of social and demo cratic Republicans held on Thursday, 1,300 persons attended ; M. CADET presided. In the course of the proceedings M. D'ALTON SLUE declared it would be an immense disgrace to the country ,if Prince Louis NAPOLEON were elected President, but that in the event of such an election taking place, he would not he able to march for a single month within the limits of the law, and then insur rection would no longer be an affair of individual appreciation, it vi ould be a duty. In the National Assembly, yesterday, it was resolved that none of the functionaries in the Department of Public Instruction should hold more than two places, the salaries of both of which should not exceed 12,000 francs. M. M. GARNIER PAGES, BARTHLEMY ST. HILAIRE, PAGNERRE, and DUCLERC have withdrawn from the club of the Institute, in consequence of the resolu tion of the vast majority of the club to support General CAVAIGNAC as their candidate for the Presi dency. They declare that no Member of the Na tional Assembly ought to &dare in favour of any par ticular candidate, and that they are equally opposed to CAVAIGNAC, BONAPARTE, and LEDRU ROLLIN.

PRUSSIA. Up to nine o'clock in the evening of the 14th mat ters remained in statu quo at Berlin. The National Assembly, which on the previous day had been ex pelled from the Schufzen Haug, met on the morning of the 14th at the Town Hall under the presidency of UNRUH. Several motions were made accusing the Ministers and the military authorities of having violated still further the rights of the Assembly; these motions were all referred to the committee already appointed to draw up the accusations against We Ministers. Hitherto the National Assembly of Prussia has sustained its position solely by the pru dence of its Members, without having received any external support. The Parliament of Frankfort has now, however, come forward to declare in its favour, and the moral support which the National Assembly will thus gain must be very great. It is in vain for the Icing of PRUSSIA now to deny the supremacy of the German Parliament, he has acknowledged it, he has submitted to it, he has regulated the affairs of his dominions in accordance with its orders, he has expressed his willingness to accept from it the office of Regent of Germany, if it had been pleased to have conferred it on him. But, even should the King o f PRUSSIA refuse to acknowledge the authority of the German Parliament, General IVRANciu. will be bound to obey its behests, in preference to those of the King of PRUSSIA. He admitted that histirst allegiance was due to the German Parliament, and his second only to the King of PRUSSIA, when he refused to obey the orders of the KING to evacuate the duchy of Schleswig, remained, contrary to tke King of Prussia's orders, in military occupation of that duchy, and only retreated when ordered to do so by the German Parliament. the Ge p n u e the stat e o f s i ege. The time for the d e li ver i ng up of b r l a i l ca lV tio a n Azi o o f E a L ll ha t s he or L de ib re e c r i al th j e ou s r u n s a p l e s ns d io u n rin o g f their arms by the Burgher Guard has expired, but only 500 have as yet been delivered up. The people maintain their attitude of passive resistance—they assemble in the streets unarmed, disperse immediately that they are summoned to do Fo, and re assemble when the patrol has passed. The troops are nearly fagged out by their constant patrolling, and to add to their discomfort, on the afternoon of the 14th there was a heavy fall of snow. It is by no means certain that the troops would act against the people if called upon to do so. Sevcral soldiers have been placed under arrest for openly declaring their intention nut to act, and on the 13th, when a whole company was ordered to fix bayonets, six only obeyed the com mand, the remainder standing at ease. On Monday night an attack was made on the Palace of Sans Sougi, the usual residence of the KING at Potsdam. The - Royal Family had timely notice of the attack, and retired into the fortified town of Potsdam on Sunday. The affair at Sans Sougi was so serious that WRAIIGEL was obliged to dispatch a battalion of Guards and an entire battery of Artillery from Berlin to disperse the rioters. At Halbestadt, at Halle, and at Stettin, the Burgher Guard and armed peasants have risen in arms, and have prevented the marching of reinforce ments to Berlin. The Pomeranian and Brandenburgher Landwehr, consisting of eight regiments, have been called out ; they have declared, however, in their preliminary meetings, that although they shall assemble in com pliance with the summons, their only duty is to meet an external enemy. In the memorial adopted by the National Assem bly in their sittings of the 13th instant, a protest is entered against 10 different measures of the new Mi nistry as unconstitutional and treasonable. This document was sent to the Solicitor-General, M. LETAE, with the following letter : " The Solicitor-General hereby receive 3 e, memorial adopted by the resolution of the National Assembly, re garding the treasonable attempts of the Brandenburg Ministry, in order that he may do his duty. " Thus resolved by the National Assembly, in its sit ting of to-day. " THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. " THE PRESIDENT, VON UNRUH. " Berlin, Nov. 13, 1848." The ex- President of the National Assembly, GRADOW, bad an audience with the ICING, on which occasion the latter is said to have uttered the follow ing words : ,‘ I know that my crown is at stake, nevertheless I am iirmiy resolved not to yield." A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 15th inst. announces that the Assembly bad refused to grant any further taxes by a majority of 216. AUSTRIA. Our accounts from Vienna are to the 12th. The Vienna Gazette Announces officially the exe cution of EDWARD PRESSLERN, aged thirty-two, o Vienna, and of EDWARD J.E.Loveui, an inhabitant oi Russian Poland. The cruelties practised by the command, or, at all events, with the connivance, of WiNntscricliATz, have excited such indignation throughout all Ger many, that the Court of 011mutz has dispatched some of the Ministers to Vienna, to order him to abstain from hi s caree r of massacre and to put an end to the reign of terror, murder, and rapine w hi c h was inaugurated on the entry of JELLACHICII and his Croats into the suburbs. Count STA DION, who has been appointed Prime Mi nister, with the portfolio of the Interior, ar• rived at Vienna on this mission on the llth, accom panist; by BRUCE, Prince SCHWARZENBERG, and HELFERT, and proceeded at once to the head quarters Of WINDISCHGRATZ. Two Deputies have also arrived from Frankfort, to inquire into the circumstances attending the murder of Ihum—a murder perpetrated in violation of the law of the 10th October, which declares the inviola bility of the Members of the German Parliament, and that they cannot be even prosecuted without leave asked and obtained from the Parliament. That the Emperor of AUSTRIA has acknowledged the su premacy of the German Parliament is evident from the fact that he has sent representatives to it, that he has obeyed its orders, and that he has applied to it as to his suzerain for assistance against the Italians, that he did not accede to the Anglo-French mediation urtil he had obtained the permission of the German Parliament, that he acknowledged his uncle, th e Archduke Jonx, as Regent of Germany (and Ger many includes Austria), and consequently as a power superior to his own, such power being derived solelyfrom the German Parliament ; the execution of &vat, therefore, was not only an act of murder, it was an act of treason on the part of the EMPFROR and his subordinates, inasmuch as BLuM was at Vienna in a capacity superior even to that of the EMPEROR him self. The Emrsztou is sovereign merely of Austria, BLUM represented the sovereignty of the Parliament of united Germany, of that power to which the Ens PEROR himself owes allegiance. The EMPEROR'S Ministers are evidently shrinking from the responsi• bility of the murder of BLUM, for they have ordered his companion,' PRontL, who was also sentenced to death, to be immediately set at liberty. FRANKFORT. The proceedings in the German Parliament at Frankfort, in the sitting of the 14th, were most inte resting. The intelligence of the treasonable murder of ROBERT BLUM, the Member for Leipzic, by the authorities of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, lud been re ceived that morning, and various interpellations were addressed to the Minister on the subject, and a no tice of motion given calling on the Parliament to adopt measures to bring his murderers to punishment. The news of the proclamation of the state of siege at Berlin was also brought under consideration, and resolutions were adopted approving of the con duct of the Assembly, and calling upon the King of PRUSSIA to dismiss his present Ministers, and to return to constitutional courses. The Parliament assembled at twenty-five minutes to ten, and shortly afterwards SIMON of Troves put the following question to the Ministry :—" Has the Imperial Ministry received any direct information to the effect that ROBERT BLtmt, Deputy from Leipzic, was shot in Vienna op the 9th ult., by sentence of a court-martial, and what steps does the Imperial Ministry intend to take in consequence of this ?" /Violin, the Minister of Justice, said—lie would remind the Assembly that the news of the arrest of BLust and FROEBEL reached them first through the evening papers of the Bth. If, therefore, the execu tion really took place on the 9th, it must be evident to all, that the Ministry's interference in his behalf, whatever character it had assumed, must have proved futile. At that moment, excited as he was by the intelligence, they certainly would not require any particular statement of the further measures in tended by the Ministry. If the letter which had just brought the intelligence reported truly—(Cries of " Here it is confirmed," and BERYER was seen press ing forward with another letter, which he handed to the President.) The PRESIDENT row' an extract from this letter aloud. It confirmed the tidings of BLUM'S execution. After some less important matter, the Assembly pro ceeded with the order of the day, viz., the discussion of the Prussian question, when Mom, agahi craved an immediate hearing. He said the Ministry had been asked what they in tended to do. Two of their body were to set out at once for Vienna, for the protection of all members that might be in Vienna, and to insist on the recog nition of the law passed by the Assembly for its own protection.—(Cheers, even from the Left.) The discussion on the Prussian question was then resumed, and the following resolution, recommended by the majority of the Committee on Prussian Af fairs, was adopted : " The National Assembly, agreeing with the mea sures taken by the Ministry of the empire, declares th at it is nece ssar y—fi rs t, to en gage the Prussian Ministry to revoke the order for transferring the National As sembly to Brandenburg, as soonasmeasures shall hav e been tak en t o guarante e the dignity and liberty o f i ts deliberations a t Berlin ; secondly, that the Crown of Prussia should surround itself as soon as possible with a Ministry possessing the confidence of the co un t ry, and fit to re move a n f e ar on the subject of re-actionary tendencies, and the infringements of the liberty of the people," There were several amendments proposed stigma.. tising in still stronger language the conduct of the King of PRUSS I A, but the above was ultimately adopted. At the close of the proceedings an urgent motion was announced by Srasom of Tr6ves, viz., "In consideration that three separate letters had arrived from Vienna, detailing the fate of 1 . 1 0Vit'c,1314134 and in c - msicleration that, according!: to - the enacted on the 10th October, for the protection of the Assembly, the execution of BLUM becomes Mut ' der, the National Assembly is called upon to delibe rate at once upon measures that shall ensure the punishment of the murderers." Mom., the Minister of justice, immediately stated that the envoys of the Ministry had started at 2 r.m., for Vienna; that they had instructions to demand the surrender of all papers and correspondence referring to Ihust's affair; and to send these, together with a full statement of all relative particulars forthwith to Frankfort. Till then, he thought, matters must stand as they were. The motion was ultimately referred to the Co) n rnittee on Austrian affairs. The names of the members sent to Vienna ftre 134up,a, of Augsburg, and Posx., of Munich. A large fraction of the left and left centre had, on the evening of the 14th, resolved to send a deputation to the Imperial Minister of Justice, requesting the ad ditional dispatch of an Austrian member on the same mission, one who is altogether of a more resolute character, and better acquainted with the affairs of Vienna. OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. (From the Chronicle.) We have received advices from. Bombay to the 17th, :mud Calcutta to the 7th, October. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) BOMBAY, OCT. 17. The position of affairs at Moultan, and in the Punjaub, has not materially changed since the de parture of the last mail. There has been no more fighting of consequence—little intriguiug of which we were not before aware—and scarcely any additional complication of relations, which, to say the truth, were confused enough before. General Whish, after two or three movements of his camp, has managed to secure a good posi tion, where he awaits the coming reinforcements, steadily refusing to give battle in the mean time. It is reported that Dewan Moolraj anti Shere Singh:place no confidence in each other, and that a Iseparation of their interests and their forcea is by no means an improbable contingency. As yet, however, the alliance is maintained; and though Shere Singh's men have never been admitted into the fort, yet, when skirmishing is the order of the day, they are usually found in the post of danger. Chittor Singh, the principal of the rebel chiefs, is at a place called Hurreepore ; Captain Abbott, who expects art attack, is at Nara; Captain Nicholson at Futteh Jung. In Peshewur, notwithstanding the comparative help lesseiess in which Major Laurence had been left, there had, up to the latest accounts, which ex tend to the 26th of September, been no actual euthreak. When the news arrived of the defec tion of Shere Singh, and the consequent raisin7a. of the siege of Moultan, Major L., apprehensive of the effect which this disastrous intelligence might pro• duce, concealed the tidings for a whole day from the Seikh troops, and meanwhile made all neces sary preparations fur the departure of Mrs. Laurence, who left, with two children, on the night if the 22.1, with a strong Affghan escort, under the personal command of Sultan Mehomed Khan. Lt is stated, on native authority, that this lady reached Lahore in safety on the Ist of October ; and I have little doubt that the next accounts will confirm this statement. The Nonpore rebel, Ram Singh, has been totally defeated by a party of Fer ris's hill rangers. Ho was severely wounded, and traced by his blood for nearly a mile, but, neverthe less, managed to effect his escape. At Bunnor, the Seikh troops have mutinied ; and though there is a report that their commander, Futteh Khan Tawana, has succeeded in suppressing the revolt, the news— which is almost " too good to be true "—is as yet al together without confirmation. In Cashmere, war like preparations are said to be going on, and the Maharajah Golaub Singh (who is alleged to be still in secret correspondence with his former tool, Chuttur Singh) has assured the resident that his men are induced to desert by the high rates of pay offered by the rebel chiefs ; and that, however desirous of controlling them, he has not the power to do so. The President's reply to this assurance ap pears to have been a sort of official amplification of the old proverb, " Where there's a will there's a way." At Lahore all has remained quiet, and we have had no intimation of the discovery of any fresh evidence of treachery on the part of the Durbar. L'nough, however, is said to exist already to implicate the majority of them in the origination of the present disturbances. Sir F. Currie refuses to allow of the withdrawal of any portion of the Lahore garrison, feeling his po sition, no doubt, the r everse o f secure ; and, though the " Council of Regency " still exists in name, and young Dhuleep Singh continues to be surrounded by the glittering symbols of sove reignty, neither the Durbar nor the Monarch possesses an atom of real power; the former are suspected—the latter is a mere shadow I The cele brated Fortress of Govindghur has been taken possession of—a measure, undoubtedly, o f "mili tary and political wisdom ;" and, according to the papers, our troops found, concealed under ground, upwards of fifty guns, together with a supply of provisions sufficient for two years! A lady has been stopped and robbed close to Lahore, and the country generally is believed to be in anything but a safe state. The Dusserah—during which artificial means of excitement are largely used—is the season usually distinguished by riots and sanguinary out breaks; and it is by no means unlikely th a t a t t h e present critical posture of our affairs, the Seikhs may take advantage of their ordinary period of saturnalia, to proceed to extremities in the vicinity of the capital itself. The supreme Govern ment, in anticipation, no doubt, of the necessity of annexing the Punjaub, has ordered a large increase of the Bengal army, each infantry regiment of which is to be raised, as early as possible, to its full strength of 1,000 men, while the corps of irregular cavalry are to be brought up to their proper standard of 500 sowers (horsemen) each. The Earl of Dalhousie is, no doubt, by this time, on his way to the north west. It is said his Lordship will take his abode at Umballah, but I believe his place of residence has not yet been fixed. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief is expected to be at Ferozepore by the 2d of November. All the arrangements have been made for the formation of a Bombay force, to co-operate with that sent from the Bengal provinces. The force is to as semble at Roree on the Ist proximo, and to consist of four brigades, one of artillery, one of cavalry, and the two others of infantry. Major-General Auch mute C. 8., is to have the command. The d e t a il s of, the Bengal force have not yet been finally ar ranged. It is believed, however, it will consist of at)out 25,000 men, and be headed by the Commander in-Chief. • Lord Gough wishes it to assemble at Fe rdzepore, while Sir F. Currie thinks Lahore is the ptoper place. A brigade, under Colonel Eckford, witch was to have left without delay for Moul tan, and for whose arrival General Whish is represented to have been anxiously looking, has recently been oidered by the Commander-in-Chief to stand fast for the present. It is to be hoped our arrangements will be so concerted as to economise time, for should the hot weather come round again, and find any p ar t of the huge t as k b e f ore us unperformed, our position will be one of great disadvantage and hazard. That the Punjaub treaties are no longer binding us, now that we have to deal with a treacherous Government and a revolted durbar, seems to be the general belief amongst well-informed parties ; and, it is quite evi dent, that if we adopt the step which policy and interest alike demand, we shall, without hesitation, take the country, and annex it to our dominions. To effect this object in a single season will require the exhibition of no mean degree of energy, activity, and vigour on the part of those who have the conducting of the campaign. We have made a bad beginning as witness the doings before Moultan I But it is to be hoped we shall now make up, by wisdom in the cabinet, and valour and generalship in the field, for the blundering and incapacity hitherto displayed. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMPAY MARKETS. FROM THE 3D TO THE IGTH OCT., INCLUSIVE. MONDAY AFTERNOON, FIVE O'CLOCK, Ocr. 16, 1848.—The extent of business transacted in imports during the past fortnight shows a material falling off, as compared with that of the last fortnight of S o pt,, n _ her. This may in a great measure be attributed to the near approach of the Dewalleo holidays (whi c h commence on the '2sth instant), when it is the cus tom of the natives to close their accounts, for the preceding twelve months, and at such a time they are naturally unwilling. to come under new en gagements. We have since our last report been visited at the Presidency by a heavy and timely fall of rain, which makes the fail during the monsoon, now brought to a close, an average one, and should this rain have extended to the northward, especially t o t h e Marwar Aistricts, the fears entertained of a decrea se i n t h e trade tt that fertile province will be materially dissipated. In Our Money Market we have no change to notice. It continues easy, 1 'COTTON PIECE GOODS.-40 inch Grey Shirtings, of low quality, arts not so readily saleable as they were, and in most cases prices show a small decline ; 45 inch, of similar quality, have likewise given way one ut two annas per piece. Higher qualities of b ith widths main tain their former value. Grey Madapollains ar_ in very good inquiry, and quite realise former prices. Grey Jaconets of all qualities, especially very low, attract the notice of dealers. Grey Domestics, coarse and heavy, are in a little inquiry, but the finer descriptions are entirely neglected. Grey Longcloths, 40 inch 36 yards, continue in good demand, and former prices are firmly maintained. Bleached Good s —Shi rt i ngs o f all qualities aro scarce 1 and much wanted. On these we have to quote an ad -1 vance of two at si x annas per p i ece i n value. Madapol lams and jacconets are also in good inquiry, and readily i find purchasers. In light Scotch fabrics generally we }unto not much change to notice; prices continue un satisfactory. Turkey red cloths, plain, are in good re , quest, but twilled are dull. Prints, of favourite styles, 1 much inquired after. Cotton Yarn of good quality has been in excellent request, and for some numbers an advance of 4 to i anna has been established. The market for cotton twist ge nerally is firm. Dyed Yarn—Prices of Orange are well supported, although we have not heard of any sales. Turkey Red 1 on the contrary, is quite neglected. Cochineal has declined a little in price. Sales of about 7,0001b5. silvers are reported at from Rs. 2 11 0 at Rs. 213 3, according to quality. The latter is our quo tation for good quality of silvers. Saffron is in steady demand. Metals—British bar iron is firm, but without improve ment in value. Swedish bar continues scarce, and in good inquiry. Nail rod iron is dull, and prices have given way. In speller we have no change to notice. Lead, both pig and sheet, are in demand, and on the former we have to quote an advance of 4 rupee per cwt.—Copper is in steady inquiry. We do not alter our quotations except for sheathing, which is slightly lower. Stocks of all descriptions are very light. Spirits—Sales of 100 dozen of French brandy, at Rs 11 per dozen, and 5 hhds English, at Rs 2i per gallon, are reported,. Gin is in good request, but no sales have come to our knowledge. Beer—Prices do not show any change. Allsopp's and Bass's aro firm at our quotations; and we have heard of a sale of 50 hhds. Whitbread's brand at Rs 50 per hhds, and 10 casks of same brewer's porter at Rs 40 per hhds. A sale of 250 dozen of All so pp' s English-bottled beer at Rs 41, is also reported. Marine Stores—Under this head we lave to notice a sale of 60 cwt. White, green, and black paints, at Pies 13 per cwt. EIPORTS. Cotton—Although the news brought from China by the last mail was favourable for the staple, the large supplies lately gone forward to that market deterred shippers from operating as freely as they would other wise have done. On the other hand, holders having been unwilling to give way in price, purchases have consequently only been made to a small extent. For Eugland we hear of nothing doing. The late heavy rain has tended in some measure to keep back supplies, but we expect, now that the weather is completely settled, that they will come forward freely ere many days are over. We have to report the following pur chases:— 50 bales DoHera!) at lis. 86 0 per candy. 300 „ ditto tf 8 6 8 ~ 200 „ Broach 17 84 8 ~ 50 eds. Mangalore ft 74 8 SI 50 „ ditto ~ 78 4 ~ Opium--Since the encouraging accounts for the drug which came to hand by last steamer, prices have given wny, and purchases were made, but only to a very small extent, at Bs. 1,250 per chest for b , .st quality. tiince yesterday a still further decline has taken place, and our quotations now are Bs. 1,200 per chest for best quality Mutelleisir, and Es. 1,175 per chest for the produce of Indore. The P. and O. Company's steamer Pekin, ap pointed to sail on the 19th instant, will take above 1,300 cbests, chiefly on importers' account. FREIGHTS. Fcr England, cargo is with difficulty obtained. We quote the rate at 21. 10s. per ton for both London and Liverpool; for the former port ss. more would be given for dead weight. To China, the rate has declined to Rs Si at 9 per candy, after having been as high as Its 12 per candy. This fall is attributable to a considerable quantity of tonnage previously engiged on speculation by the freight brokers having been thurst upon the market. EXCHANGES. Tile supply of bill brought from China by the last not being to the extent that was anticipated, we have only a slight improvement to advise on the rates quoted in our last. The rate opened the day after the arrival of the steamer at ls. 9 11-16 d., but quickly de clined to Is. 9id. per Rs., at which rate a considerable amount of paper changed hands. Remitters having sup plied their wants, rates rallied a little, and transactions to a fair amount took place at Is. 9id. To-day the rate has again receded to Is. 9 9-16 d., and Bank paper is quoted at Is. 9id. six months' sight. FINE ARTS. PORTRAIT OF ELIZA COOK. Lithographed by Brittan Willis from a Painting by .1. Watkins. What is the surest evidence of any individual's popularity ? The question might elicit a variety of answers. The Grecian hero would say a public as sembly standing up on his appearance, and the modern author would place it in a call for a dolmen editions of his work. Yet, admitting the former to be an act of very gratifying homage, and the latter a very substantial proof of satisfaction, we are inclined to think there is no more convincing attestation of the popularity of any person, whether prince or poet, than the rapid diffusion of his portraits among all classes of the people. This is a mark of popularity of a peculiarly gratifying kind, for it declar es a t once th at the people's favourite is not the object of a passing admi ration but of a homely and heartfelt affection. This evi dence of popular regard has been bountifully lavished upon Eliza Cook; her earnest features are almost as familiar to us as her eloquent words ; her intelligent eyes have beamed upon us from portraits of all descriptions. But no portrait has yet appeared which does such justice to the intellectual counte nance of the young poetess as that which has just been lithographed, and in the most effective manner, be it said, en passant, by Mr. Brittan Willis, from a painting by Mr. J. Watkins. Not only is this portrait a most admirable and accurate likeness of Eliza Cook, but it is peculiarly interesting to the public, because it represents her in that character in in which she is best known anallibest loved by the public—it represents her as the poetess. We are already familiar with her in the character of daughter leaning upon her mother's " old arm chair," and that situation, associated as it is with one of her most heart-touching songs, irresistably elicits our sym • pathy. Nevertheless the idea of this new lithogr a ph is infinitely better. It is as a poetess that Eliza Cook is beloved in the homes of England ; and this portrait, which represents her in a moment of inspira tion, will therefore be doubly welcome to her innu merable admirers. She is seated on the sea- shore, at the foot of an overhanging cliff. A large Newfound land dog, crouched at her feet, is looking up earnestly in her face ; her bonnet is thrown aside, her hair is abandoned to the sea-breeze, and her countenance is suffused with joy—. with a joy natural to the poet when brought into close companionship with the wild beauty of nature—" The rapture of the lonely shore." At the foot of the picture are appropriately inscribed her own beautiful lines descriptive of the very emotions which her pictured features here portray—. My ocean altar, here my heart once more, Yields the rapt worship that it did of old ; Again I dream upon thy lonely shore, With spirit joy all wordless and untold." This " spirit joy" is beaming in her earnest eyes, and illumines her countenance with the glow of in spiration. Infinite credit is dne to the artist for the admirable manner in which he bas depicted these peculiar emotions. With a masterly hand he has in fused into the features the very look of inspiration-- the very semblance of vitality. The lovers of Eliza Cook's inimitable poetry cannot have a happier opportunity of possessing themselves with her portrait. the portrait of no favourite of a coterie, no " star," no " lion," but the portrait of a friend—for Eliza Cook is a familiar friend by many a fireside. Uer songs are among the first lispings of infancy and the con solatory mutterings of age, and no wonder, for they are true to nature from the first syllable to the last. By many a fireside, therefore, this new portrait of the favourite poetess will be right welcome. It will be greeted with gladness, and treasured up among the choice memorials of absent friends, memorials fraught with many endearing associations— " The charms of the household—the lares of home." SADLER'S WELLS. - - - Shakspere's delightful comedy of Much Ado about Nothing was revived here last night for the first time under Mr. Phelps's management, and was produced with all that strict attention to accuracy, and that fixed de termination to do justice to the productions of our immortal &bard that has always distinguished Mr. Phelps's Shaksperian revivals. Mr. Henry Marston was the Benedick. It was in this character that he first won the favour ;of a London audience when ho made his debut at Drury-lane ander the management of poor Hammond. Were it not for his unfortunate voice, Mr. Marston's Benedick would be the best since Charles Kemble. It is evident that Mr. Marston not only loves but understands Shakespere. Miss Cooper made a lively and sarcastic Beatrice ; and Mr. Younge and Mr. Scharf were admirable as Dogberry and Verges. Mr. Scharf is a true Shaksperian low-comedy actor. The play went off admirably. The house was well attended , SALE OF PRINCE ALBERT'S LIVE _ STOCK.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert's annual.s.ale of live stock; s4ected from Norfolk and Flemish Fari4i;'.and also from the Honte Park, at Windsor, has just4iketi-4alace:itc, g Norfolk Farm.
