LATEST FROM IRELAND. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] character for manhood, or to entitle him to the " epitaph" which he so clearly foresaw. Mankind have, generally speaking, a strong par tiality for anything "out of the common way." No matter if it be a disadvantage or a deformity, any thing in any way remarkable or unusual will not fail to excite extraordinary interest, and perhaps admira tion. For example, every one admits that the human frame is exquisitely proportioned and admirably adapted to the purposes for which it is destined,—no one would alter the ordinary stature of man one cubit if he had the power, and yet, solely from a love of novelty, wondering and admiring crowds in variably throng around the show-booth where a giant or a dwarf is being exhibited. It must be that plea sure is afforded by the exercise of the faculty of wonder, or men of all ages and all characters would t be so invariably eager in pursuing, and so de lighted in contemplating, the unusual and the extraordinary. These reflections are suggested to us by the sudden announcement of the existence of a moral or mental phenomenon, quite as extraordinary in its way as the men with two heads or the men with no heads at all, which heve so repeatedly amazed and enchanted the fre quenters of fairs. To those persons who experience a pleasure in being astonished, we are happy in being able to recommend a most infallible means of pro curing that delightful sensation. They have only to' read a paragraph in the Aix-la- Chapelle Gazette of the 30th ultimo, and they will there find chronicled the worde and actions of a man who, mentally or morally (we will not say which), is as great a marvel as any lusus natura that ever existed. The gentleman in question is one Count Bueow, an officer in the Prussian Hussars. This Count Bueow, according to the assertion of our Aix-la-Chapelle contemporary, has delivered an address to his soldiers, expressing many most extra ordinary sentiments. One single sentence will he sufficient for us to repeat, for that sentence conveys an idea of the meaning of all the rest, and that sen tence alone is enough to " astonish" every one in England. "For my part," said Count Bueow, calmly and deliberately, addressing his soldiers, " for my part, I know not what ' a people' means. I know only a king, obedient soldiers, and faithful subjects." Count Bueow does not know what "a people" means. In listening to such an assertion we hardly know whether to feel pity for the stupidity, or indig nation at the impertinence of him who uttered it. But in either case the enunciation of such a sentiment ex cites our most unfeigned astonishment. We cannot but be annoyed that any man should have the auda city to pronounce such syllables, calling in question the existence of " a people," when the thunders of an indignant people's wrath were reverberating in his ears ; and when the very ground beneath his feet was quaking with the mighty movement of an awakening people's resurrection. Look at it as we may, Count BuLow's assertion fills us with wonder. Count Bueow does not know what a people " means. Perhaps be may allege, as an excuse for his ignorance, that the word was not in the:dictionary from which his first ideas were gleaned. And it may be so. It was once said, in compliment to a great conqueror, that he had erased " impossible" from the dictionary, and in like manner it may very justly be said that despotic rulers have done their best to blot out from popular dictionaries all words that have evidence of popular rights. But this will not suffice to excuse Count BuLow's ignorance. If the Emperor of Aus- TRIA or the King of PRUSSIA chose to say that a belief in the sun's light was a freak of imagination, would Count Bueow believe himself to be blind ? And it would be just as easy for a royal ordinance to put out the sun as to annihilate an exist ence as palpable as the sunlight, and declare " a people" to be an unmeaning word. Be this as it may, Count BuLow has been brought up in most deplorable ignorance, and so baneful have been the effects of his early training, that no combination of circum stances can apparently now convince him—not even such an extraordinary combination of circumstances as that presented by Europe at the present moment, for, in the different countries of Europe, the existence of the people is now manifested in all its various phases. Whether writhing in their blood-rusted chains as in Poland—whether struggling with the desperate temerity of self-preservation as in Italy— whether as in France, terrible in the might of newly-acquired conquest, or as in England, calm in the consciousness of power—in every country, or in almost every country of Europe, the existence of " a people" is just now unmistakeably manifest— manifest to all except Count Bueow. He alone is blind to what passes before him, he alone is deaf to :what , occurs around him. He does not know what a people" means, - he "only knows a king, and obe dient soldiers and faithful subjects." He only knows "a king," such a king as children picture to them aelvts, with a crown on his head and a sceptre in his hand, and a crowd of courtiers bowing round him. As we anticipated yesterday, Lord CLAIIENDOR most peremptorily refused to enter into any parley or compromise with an outlawed traitor until he had recorded his unconditional submission to the consti tuted authorities by an immediate surrender, and by doing all in his power to remove the veil that had so long been held before the eyes of the misguided peasantry. Meantime the pursuit for the criminals will be continued with undiminished ardour, and con ducted with so much zeal and energy, that there is scarcely a possibility that the delinquents can long evade the keen-scented detectives who have been close upon their track on more than one occasion. The unfortunate, but high-minded Satins O'BaIEN, the moment he learned that the slightest assistance rendered to him would involve his entertainers in the crime and punishment of treason, determined to abstain from accepting the hospitality, which, at any risk, would have been:afforded to him ; and, without consideration of personal consequences, virtually sur rendered himself by adopting a course that rendered his capture a matter of certainty. He made no stipulations for his OiClt personal benefit, he disdained even the slight claim for mercy that would have resulted from an unconditional surrender to the mili tary or police, because he might damage the pros pects of those who still remained at large. So far as he was concerned, there was a total absence of every selfish feeling, but it is far otherwise with the " Hero of the Sword"—who exposes others to the most serious dangers for his own especial benefit, and then opens negotiations on his own account, without making any stipulation for mercy to his associates. The proclamation warning all persons against sheltering or harbouring the traitors, or in any manner facili tating their escapes, and of the serious responsibi lities that will thereby be incurred, have been re peated, and extensively circulated,land an additional caution has been addressed to captains of emigrant ships, packets, and sea-going vessels, to the effect "that the penalty of treason will likewise attach to them if they should be concerned in favouring the es cape of any persons whom they shall know to have been concerned in treasonable practices." These vigorous steps will effectually prevent that active as sistance which the proscribed leaders might otherwise have hoped to obtain, and by which they might have continued at liberty until the intensity of the pursuit had relaxed, and they might have found their way to some seaport town, and thence to the Western Hemisphere, where they would have been cordially received by the American sympathisers. That, however, will now be impossible ; and their wisest, indeed their only course, will be to make a prompt and unconditional submission, and to induce the multitude to surrender their arms to the proper officers appropriated to receive them. Should this be done, we doubt not that mercy will be extended to all concerned in the recent outbreak, and that the rebellion of 1841 will be suppressed without the loss of a single life on the part of the loyalists in the field, or the execution of a single one of the insurgents on the scaffold. This is a consummation, indeed, devoutly to be wished for, and we most earnestly desire that it may be fully realised. The gentle and lenient sentences that have been passed at the Commission on those who pleaded guilty to having illegal possession of arms proves that the Irish authorities are disposed to use their triumph with moderation, and affords the greatest encouragement to those who have been involved in guilt to cast themselves upon the mercy of a mild and paternal Government, who will deal with them as erring children if they furnish the best evidence of the sincerity of their repentance. A reward of SOO/. has been offered for the ap prehension of Richard O'Gorman. The following proclamation was issued by the Lord-Lieutenant yesterday:— " Whereas we have received information that Richard O'Gorman, jun., has been guilty of treasonable practices. Now we, the Lord-Lieutenant, being determined to bring the said Richard O'Gorman to justice, do hereby offer a reward of 3001. to any person or persons who shall secure and deliver up to safe custody the person of the said Richard O'Gorman, junior, and we do hereby strictly command and charge all justices of the peace, mayors, sheriffs, bailiffs, and constables, and all in her Majesty's service, to use their utmost diligence in apprehending the said Richard O'Gorman, junior. " Given at her Majesty's Castle of Dublin, this 10th day of August, 1848, by his Excellency's command. " T. N. REDINGTON." 'O'Gorman yesterday crossed the Shannon in a boat, and is now supposed to be in Clare. A cargo of gunpowder has been seized in Dun garvan. In the case of the Queen e. O , Doherty, yesterday, after various objections and arguments regarding the jurors, a jury was sworn at three o'clock, and at half past five the case for the Grown was closed. The proceedings were adjourned to ten o'clock this day, and constables were sworn in to guard the jury for the night, who were ordered to be provided with every accommodation at Gresham's hotel. He never heard of a Count DE NEDILLY, he kaows nothing of Inspruck. Happy Count BuLow ! And happy are we, wonder-loving generation, in having a Count BuLow to astonish us. He stands before us in his blissful ignorance like a being of another world. The enchanted Princess, awakening from her sleep of five centuries, could not have evinced a more pro found unconsciousness of what had transpired in the world around her, nor could her narve remarks have filled her hearers with more bewilderment and asto nishment. This must be the solution of the mystery• Count BuLow has been asleep since the days when people were made for kings, or rather (we beg his pardon) since th• days when " people" were nor, and there were only " kings and faithful subjects." But now, having amused ourselves at Count BuLow's expense, let us attempt to enlighten his ignorance. Before, however, we can inform his countship of the exact meaning of the word people we must inquire if he be acquainted with the correct definition of the word man ?—of man, as contradistinguished from serf, or subject, or slave. If to this Count BuLow will reply that a man is a descendant of him who was created in the image of his MAKER, and appointed lord over all created things, with none save his MAKER. to be lord of him, and that, there fore, a man is, by his birthright, equal to every other man—that be may differ from his fellows in wealth, or talents, or station, according to the individual temperament with which nature has endowed him, or according to the conventional distinctions of society (distinctions made by common consent for mutual advantage), but that differ as he may in these adventitious characteristics, one man is the same as another—he is " the goud for a' that." Does Count BuLow believe this; and does he believe, moreover, that no " right divine" can make one man a tyrant from his cradle, and another his " born thrall," but that to enjoy a freedom of thought and freedom of action without any restraint, save what is necessary to insure to others a similar freedom, is the born right of every man as much as to enjoy the air he breathes, or the sunshine which enlightens him ? If Count BuLow will grant so much, his difficulties of comprehension will be very speedily overcome, for " a people" the term which mystifies him so greatly is only an aggregate of the word man. A people is an assemblage of men united for their mutual advantage, each con scious of his own rights, and willing and anxious to recognise the equal rights of his companions. And, furthermore, Count BuLow, in this "people" you may find comprised those classes with which you are already acquainted, " obedient soldiers" and " faithful subjects," but soldiers and subjects whose pride and whose duty is not to fight for or serve any one indi vidual or hereditary ruler, but to defend and submit to laws and magistrates which themselves have framed or which themselves have appointed. More over, among the magistrates of such a people there may perchance be numbered a king, but not a king such as Count BuLow dreams of—a king the best definition of whose duties is contained in the admi rable coronation oath of the ancient Arragonese, "We who are as good as you," said the people of Arragon when they invested the King with his sovereignty, " we, who are as good as you, make you our king to preserve our rights—if not, not." Whether this right , of tenure be practically abandoned or not, Louts PHILIPPE can answer. Whether or not the mental blindness of Count BuLow be ever dispelled, he may have the satisfaction of reflecting that he has given utterance to the most astonishing declaration pro nounced in this year of marvels, 1848. SPAIN. Little news even of the smallest interest is contained in the Madrid papers of the 4th. Letters from Madrid of the 6th state that M.

We have received the different Paris journals of yesterday. According to the National the French Government are resolved that, in the e►ent of Austria rejecting the mediation of France and England, France will draw the sword and save Italy from the grasp of the Germans. A great dinner is spoken of, in order to effect the conciliation of all parties, at which MM. L AMARTINE , CAVAIGNAC, LEDRU ROLLIN, and MARRAST will be present. The results of the proceedings in the Assembly yesterday have been of high importance. The pro ject of law put forward by the Government, in spite of an obstinate and animated resistance from the ultra-democrats and members of the Mountain, led by M. LEDRU RoLLIN, and brought up in the rear by his satellite, M. FLOCON, was adopted by a ma jority of 407 against 342. Up to the evening of the 7th, the Military Com mission on the insurgents had decided the - fate of 2,718 accused. Their decision WPS as follows:—Ac quitted and liberated, 1,396 ; to be transported, 1,206 ; to be sent before courts-martial, 116. Several of the Paris journals have raised the price of their subscription, that course being rendered necessary by the great diminution in the receipts for advertisements in consequence of the stagnation of trade, and by their great expenditure. The mediation of England and France in the affairs of Lombardy is, according to the Dikats, placed upon:the basis which had been already admitted by Austria—the basis of the old treaty of Campo Formic,. Now that RADETZYT is master of Milan it is very doubtful whether the conditions will be accepted. : A consultation was held yesterday upon the in teresting case of General BEDEAU, the physicians present being MM. ALQUIB, PASQUIER, BLANDIN, and CLOQUET. We are rejoiced to say that the opinion unanimously expressed by these gentlemen was a conviction of the certain cure of the distin guished soldier. Much uneasiness prevailed on the Paris Bourse yesterday lest the Austrians should refuse acquies cence in the proposed mediation of France and England. The impending publication of the evidence of the Committee of Inquiry enhanced the gloom that hung upon the money market. Nevertheless the funds fell only -1 per cent. The Moniteur publishes a decree by the chief of the Executive Government, removing the suspension on the Representant du Peuple, the paper edited by M. Proudhon. The rumours respecting the mission of the Rev. N.r. MacxAy to the Irish Government, to which we alluded in The Sun of yesterday, appear to have been at least "founded upon facts." It is certain that the Rev. Gentleman proceeded to Dublin, and went to the Castle for the purpose of opening his communica tion to the authorities. His propcysition, however, only concerned Air. T. F. 11.1EAGilEN, the young gentle. man who language was the most fervid and glowing of all thetonspirators, and whose constant appeals to the " God of Battles" might have induced the Public to believe, that when the time for action ar rived, he would not be found wanting, retreating from an unpleasant proximity to the military and police, whose disaffection to their SOVEREIGN he so repeatedly and so untruly (as the event has proved) dared to insinuate, or stipulating for personal immunity, so far as his own wretched life was con cerned, regardless of the more daring associates with whom he had formed plans for the campaign. It is but a few short months since, when, after he had fled from the s t ones an d bl u d geons o f th e a d voca tes o f " moral force" in Limerick, and when he had con sented to leave JOHN MercuEL, who, with the single exception of Mr. SMITH 013111131 v, was the most sincere and enthusiastic of th e en ti re party, t o hi s m i sera bl e f ate, that in a vein of p rop h et i c i nsp i rat i on h e excla i med, " Call me coward, ca ll me renegade, I accept these titles as the penalties w hi c h a fidelity to my convic tions has imposed upon m e . I t will be for a sho rt lime only. At the end I see the path which I have been oaed to walk. N o o bj ect intercepts nm m view, and on the grave that closes upon that path I can n t re ad no coward's epitaph." We know whether his present proceeding can be regarded as the realisation of that " peep into futurity," whi c h h e detailed with such graphic force—whether he w in b e called "coward" and "renegade" for " a short time only," or what may be the character of the epit ap h on the grave that closes his mischievous career. The proposition which solely concerned himself, which only stipulated for the remission of the extreme pe nalty of death which his conscience too truly in formed him he: had most richly deserved, and which declared his willingness to drag on the remainder of his existence in the convict hulks or the penal settle ments, provided only his life were spared, can scarcely be regarded as the act which was to re-establish his , " A letter from Messina," says the Idessager, " states that the French and English admirals have, in concert, announced to the President of the Go vernment, that their Governments will continue to give their protection to Sicily, and will not permit any of the troops of the King of NAPLES to effect a landing." Two individuals, named FAUTREL and BAUD; the one a shoemaker, and the other a dealer in horses, who are said to have taken an active part in the cold blooded assassination of General BREA and his aide de-camp during the insurrection of June, have at length been arrested and lodged in prison. The following five persons charged with having acted as chiefs during the insurrection of June have been transferred from the Conciergerie to the mili tary prison of the Rue de Cherche-Midi, preparatory to their trial by court-martial :—PINBL GRAND.

CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE. Tho Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed heavily. American was 1-16 d. per lb. lower. Other sorts were also heavy. Tho sales were 4,000 bales. Railway Shares were very dull, but there was rather an improved feeling. The holders of Portuguese Bonds will not be very well pleased t..) hear of the proposed substitution of the decimas impost for the Customs duties formerly hypo thecated to the Board of Public Credit, because the latter are regularly paid, while the former are ex tremely difficult of collection. The Committee of the Cortes, to whom the proposition was referred, seems, however, to have disapproved of it, consequently, there may be no alteratio❑ made. The Mexican Bondholders have need, it seems, of the advocacy of the Spanish American committee, because of the intimation given by M. Luis Mora that the amount received from the United States in payment of the territory ceded will not be available in whole, or even in part, for the satisfaction of the claims of the foreign creditors, because, when the last arrangements were entered into with the Bondholders, no sale of territory was contemplated. This is but poor reasoning when the engagement pledged " the entire revenues" of Mexico, whether proceeding from lands, revenues, mines, or any other source. We are inclined to hope, however, that Senor Mora has too precipitately interpreted the ♦iews of his Government, the more so as we took pleasure some few days since in adverting to the prompt recognition of the claims of the Bond holders by the new authorities of Mexico. Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, the agents of the COW • mittee, confirm this view of the case, and express themselves rather sanguinely as to the " dispo sitions " of the Ministers of the Republic. Mexico is a rich country despite its recent troubles, and mining pursuits have been prosecuted almost as industriously and successfully as ever, throughout the late war. The debt is not large, comparatively, and we shall look for better times, after the forbearance manifested by the shareholders. In the value of Grain to-day there is no alteration, the market being simply "steady." The supply is good in Mark-lane, and this has been also the case recently at most of the provincial markets. The sßlec of Money Stock hewn been continued to-day, and cash is consequently rather scarcer in " the house. The payment of losses upon the Consol Account ar• ranged to-day has doubtless some effect, but there are sellers quite independent of the market, and it seems to be thought that money will become rather dearer gene rally. We can assign no special reason for this beyond the uncertainty of the weather, and a partial ex portation of specie to meet loan and exchange operations. The Bank of England has ,ample reserves at present, but in these times no one likes to see them diminished, however, gradually. Consols have been 861 to 864 for Transfer, and 86i to for Account.

Only a moderate supply of English Wh eat has been received for our market this week, and the show of samples to day was small. Owing chitfly to the un settled state of the weather, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, and Monday's prices were well supported. The best samples of Foreign Wheat, free of duty, were in good request at extreme rates. In the middling and inferior kinds com paratively little business was transacted. Barley was in moderate supply, and steady request, at last figures. There was a better inquiry fur Malt. In prices, how ever, wo have no advance to notice. Oats, Beaus, and Peas moved off freely, at extreme prices. Indian Corn and Meal quite neglected. The Flour trade was steady. ARRIVALS. Wheat . I Barley 4,740 . Oats. I Flour qrs. -- qrs. 1,810 qrs.

Notnithstandin g our market to-day was but mode rately supplied with beasts, both as to number and quality, the Beef trade, owing to the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering, was very dull, at a de cline in the price of Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The highest figures for the best Scots were only from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs. With foreign stock we were very scantily supplied. The supply of English Sheep was seasonably good, but deficient in quality. On the whole the Mutton trade was firm, and the quotations were well supported. In Lambs, next to nothing was doing, at a fall in value of from 4d to 6d per Bibs. We can quote no more than 5s per Sibs for the best breeds. Calves were in full average supply and moderate request at late prices. In Pigs very little was done. Mulch Cows sold at from 15/ to 181 each, including their small calf.

The hops do not look so well as last ; cold nights and strong gales do not suit them. I have stated. before that the crop would fall short of last season two bags per acre. I now say it will be nearer three, and without a great change in the weather will not stop there. I confine my remarks to my. - own neighbourhood, Farleigh, as I have not seen other districts, but I hear the same account of them. In the early part of the season the bine came away well and presented a fine healthy appearance. Since then it has in_ many places turned yellow. Even those grounds which have grown and held their colour are beaten about and injured. LOOSE.—We have a great deal of lice in the hops, up to the very burr. The duty must be much over-rated. BOXLEY, AYLESFORD, AND BIRHAM.-- , The late rains and strong winds have very much improved the bine and burr. YA.LDING, FARLEIGH, AND CHART.--Tbere are some lice, but not to injure without an increase. Mould is greatly on the increase. . ULCOHRE.—The continued rains and cold nights, ac companied with strong gales of wind, have had a most disastrous effect on the hops this last week, causing the burr to look knitty and very sickly. Many poles are blown down, and from the bine being so much bruised with the wind, the leaves look almost like the blight of the potato-haulm. The mould is making its appearance in the burr, in some instances where it has not appeared on the leaf. Without more congenial weather, there is doubt if the duty will pay more than half the estimated amount ; for we have reason to expect a great increase of mould, and no one would think of picking any hops at all, so affected, at the present prices. BRENcHLEE.—The hops in this parish are feeling the effect of the late few cold nights very severely. From forty to fifty lice are to be seen on the last shoot leading to the burr, in Mr. R. Fuggle's garden ; and if we should get any frosty nights the duty must come down considerably. WROTHAH, SHIPROURNE, AND IGHTHAH.—The Un kind weather,rain and high winds, have done much injury to the plantations generally. The burr seems very loth to come out into hop, although a few fine days would soon cause what is not injured to develope itself. If we have much more wind, rain, and cold nights, it is almost impossible to grow a quarter of the duty of last year. SETENOAKS AND ADJOINING PARISHES. --The hops have not made much progress lately. It is now quits certain that this district will be, at least, one-third short of last year's growth. GoIIDHUREIT.—The wet weather this last fortnight with the wind has affected the hops, and if such wea th e r continues much lon ger t h e crop will be very short. The duty is much over-rated. IioLvENDEL—Our bine has made but little progress the last fortnight. The gardens that were fire blighted cannot do much, the late winds and cold nights are very much against them. CANTERBURY.—The heavy rains, high winds, and cold weather of the put week have occasioned great damage to the hops, and all sorts of diseases are appearing. The duty is declining.—ltlaid.stone Journal. Mr. D'Eyncourt, M.P. for Lambeth, was prevented by illness from attending the House of Commons to vote on Mr. H. Berkeley's motion on the Ballot last Tuesday, having indeed been ordered out of town by his medical adviser last week. REVISING BARRISTERS.—The Lord Chief Justice Denman has been pleased to re-appoint Lancelot Shad. well, Esq., Francis Bailey, Esq., and Thomas Young 161 4 Christie, Esq„ to revise the hats of voters for Meal* bers to serve in Parliament for the county of Middle sex, the cities of London and Westminster, and the boroughs of Marylebone, Finsbury, and the Tower Hamlets.

Manufactured at 168, Drury-lane, under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Defries, the inventor and pa ten tee. SECONDARIES' COURT.—This Court did not sit to-day. THE MINING DISTRICTS OF LANARICSIIIRE.—We regret to be informed that the mining districts of this county are in a very disturbed state, in consequence of the agitation which has been kept up . for some ti me Fas t by the mining population, with a view to an advance of their present rate of remuneration. D uring t h e last week large meetings of colliers have been held in the principal districts, at which the wages question has been discussed, and on account of th e employers showing little or no disposition to com e to terms with the men, strong disaffection prevails. The demand of the workers is, to have Is. 6d. per day in advance of their present rate (which is 2s. 6d.), and from all accounts they are resolved to gain this increase, which they allege the masters are perfectly able to give, with a very little ad dition to the market price of coal and iron. We under stand that the Lanarkshire Yeomanry Cavalry are under arms, and stationed in troop in Holjtown, Bell hill, Their appearance amongst the colliers has rather in creased than lessened the excitement. A collision be tween the yeomanry and the people occurred near Holy town yesterday, but did not turn out so serious as was at first reported.—Glasgow Saturday Post. RATTLESNAKES.—It was by means an unusual oc currence for us, after a heavy dew, to kill, in the morn ing, within a quarter of a mile of a camp (in the country bordering the Arkansas), more than twenty rattlesnakes which having come out to imbibe the dew, had become benumbed by the cool night air, and so were an easy prey. Our Major awoke one morning with one of these reptiles coiled up against his leg, it having nestled there for warmth. He dared not stir until a servant came and removed the intruder. I had now an opportunity of test ing the truth of what I heard, but never before believed: in the month of August these snakes are not only doubly venomous, but totally blind. An old hunter will tell you that the poison then is so virulent as to deprive the reptile of sight.—Edward's Campaign in New Mexico. OPENING OF TIIE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY TO ARBROATH AND MONTROSE.—On Tuesday the Castleary branch of this railway was opened for public traffic, thus completing the direct line between London, Perth, Dun dee, Arbroath, and Montrose. The express trains from Dundee arrived at the Euston-square terminus in 15 hours, and from Arbroath in 151. The line of railway is continued from Arbroath to Montrose, coaches con veying passengers on to Aberdeen. BIRTI7B. On the sth inst., at Ninfield, Sussex, the wife of the Rev. E. H. M.

AUSTRIA. Little credence can be attached to the rumours which we gave yesterday respecting the abdication of the EINIFEROK in favour of his nephew, FRANOIS JOSEF. The intelligence received from Vienna says not one word upon the subject. Other reports, of a very conflicting character, were afloat in that capital in reference to the supposed movements of his Imperial and Royal MuesTr ; some asserting that he would return from Innspruck on the 10th instant, others that he was already on his road to Vienna, and others that he had proceeded southwards to his Italian kingdom. Much discontent agitated the metropolis of Austria, posters being placarded upon the palace walla denouncing the Israelites and the Innspruck Catna rilla. A Cabinet Council had been held for the purpose of deciding whether the Austrian troops forming the German contingent should wear the old tricolor— black, red, and gold—of Germany. The question was regarded as of great importance, and disappoint ment was expressed that the Ministers had as yet arrived at no definite decision. PRUSSIA. Accounts from Berlin to the Gth inst. state that four cases of cholera had already appeared in that capital; and that the epidemic was spreading with terrible rapidity in Gallicia. News two days later, namely of the Bth, says not one word, however, respecting the cholera, so that the above announcement may possibly be prema ture. Demonstrations continued to be of hourly recur rence, either in favour of German unity or of Prus sian isolation. The Linden Strasse are still the scene of this aoisy ebullition of political enthusiasm. It would appear that the potato disease has begun to devastate the crops of East Prussia and West phalia. The Prince and Princess of PRUSSIA had returned from their visit to Stettin. According to present arrangements the KING, but not the QUEEN, will honour with his presence the ap proaching festival at Cologne. The Bourse, on the 7th, continued to show signs of improvement, particularly in the railway quotations, and more especi a ll y and the Upp er Sil esian. in the Potsdam and Magdeburg FRANKFORT-ON-T HE-MAINE. On the 7th a stormy discussion took place in the Constituent Assembly, upon tile question of a general amnesty for political offenders. HERR BRENTANO in the course of the debate infuriated a large por tion of the Assembly by making a sneering allusion to the Prince of PRussu. Ia vain the Vice• Presi dent endeavoured to restore order; not only his voice but his bell was drowned in the uproar and the confused cries of " Down with the speaker" (herunter it den. Redner) and "Go on, go on." The Vice-Preside n t at last put on his hat and declared the sitting closed. On the 6th inst. there assembled together on the Rossmarkt the whole of the Frankfort battalion,which first swore the oath, and then defiled before the ARCIIDUKI 'Vicegerent of Germany.

Little doubt, however, is entertained as to its accuracy. The Risorgimento of the sth announces the resignation of the old Provisional Government, and a proclamation subsequently issued by the new Council declares that it is composed of Lieutenant- General OLIVIER, President, with Signor STEDGELLI, and Marquis MONTEZEMOLO. Later intelligence confirms the account of the taking of Milan on the sth, by the Austrians ; though it would appear that the city capitulated, and was not taken by assault, as had been reported. It is probable that RADETZIET will have pushed on to Turin ; but, except as calculated to wound feelings, his movements are now of little consequence, for the mediation of France and England will put an end to the campaign, and by negoti a ti on on l y, for i t i s not believed that a single French soldier will cross the frontier.

Throughout the island the vege tation is of unequalled luxuriance. If any exception ; exist it is i n th e h ay cro p s , somewhat injured by the want of snow i n th e w i n t e r ; but even these will, it is believed, affo r d a f u ll avers ge return. The potatoes and rye esp ec i a ll y but, in general, all the other crops are magnifi cen t, and, should the weather continue fa vourable a forinight longer, will be advanced towards the point where they may be considered out of danger. —Montreal Herald.
