Nor was this surprising, when it is remembered that the olive was said, by one of the most popular myths of the " violet-cro wn'd city," to have been originally a gift from the hands of the preaiding goddess of the Parthenon. To render the incarceration of the un fortunate railway labourer at Aylesbury at all reasonable in our estimation, however, it will be necessary to show that the turnip was originally bestowed upon the agriculturists of Buckinghamshire by some MINERVA of the vegetable kingdom, whose wrath was dreaded by the magistrates present at the pet)) , session. Seriously, we regard such decisions as the one to which we are here alluding as a direct and flagrant violation of the principles of justice; and we would here hold the incident up to the merited indignation of the public. Had the gentlemen upon whom devolved all the judicial responsibilities of the session taken into their consideration the trivial nature of the charge, the misrortunes of an industrious labourer, the instigations of a craving appetite, and the very fact of the prisoner having been taken while in the act of eating one of the pilfered vegetables, they would surely have arrived at a very different con clusion—at a conclusion more in accordance with the generous tone of the criminal laws of the country. At the ',cast they would never have dreamt of compelling an un fortunate labourer to expiate such an offence by an imprisonment of twenty-one days' duration in default of payment of fifteen shillings and sixpence. It is in consequence of arbitrary proceedings of this cha racter that the industrious classes are frequently estranged from the existing institutions. Poor and ill-informed men, witnessing such acts of tyranny inflicted with impunity upon themselves, can never be brought again to regard the Government under whose authority they are thus ground into the dust as a benign or paternal Government. They look upon each other as justided in setting the cruelties of the law at defiance, and are ultimately induced to wink at schemes of insubordination. A general improvement in railway stock of almost every denomination has been the result of the clear, straightforward, and satisfactory statement of the London and North- Western Railway Company, a copy of which was contained in The Sun of Saturday. The complete and decisive refutation of the erroneous cnlculations and unfounded rumours that had been circulated has enlightened the public mind as to the folly and absurdity of giving any credence to malicious insinuations, put forward by in terested parties for their osn vile purposes. It his proved that " the panic" rested on no sufficient foundation, and has entirely re-established the con fidence which our own exposure of the " sayings and doings" of the "Bearish" Fraternity, and the admirable letter of Mr. lleneoei, to which we have repeatedly alluded, had partially restored. Cautious, h it l headed men, who kept their money lying idle and unproductive, at a time when they might have purchased at the cheapest rate, now willingly invest at prices ten or twenty per cent. higher than those of the early part of list week. Their over-prudence caused them to let slip the golden opportunity, to evoid taking advantage of circumstances of which "they may never see the like again." Bargains are, however, still to he obtained. The present quotations are yet far below the real value- oflNseeharee,.,and there is every probability that the:tiae::!ilfibthas at length turned, after ebbing so long and so continuously-, will in like manner flow without let or hindrance for a prolonged period. The reaction is generally proportioned to the violence of the crisis. When the tide is unusually low, it may safely be prophesied that it will speedily rise far beyond the ordinary high water mark. So, in all probability, the reaction may be most conspicuous in the shares which have been most widely depreciated The prices on the chief lines may be said to have improved from 15 to 20 per cent. during the lay; week. North-Westerns, which on Monday last were sold, perhaps we should rather say quoted, at 1 discount, realised 18 premium on Saturday. Within the same period Great Westerns sprung from 671. to 81/.; Midlands, from 66 to 78; Eastern Counties, from to 13i ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, from 21 to 26; York and North Midland, from 42 to 52 ; South-Eastern, from 20 to 23 ; 'London, Brighton and South Coast, from 25 to 28} ; Loielon and South-Western, from 36 to 40 ; Chester and Holyhead, from Itif to 21k. A similar improvement took place in almost every other line, so that the " Bears " will have to provide for heavy claims, more especially if the stock which they have undertaken to supply should be demanded at their hands, and the purchasers should refuse to accept the differences. Such a course would, indeed, completely turn the tables, and convince those gentlemen bow dangerous a game they have been playing. They have al ready sustained a most signal defeat. It will probably be even more decisive, when " the statement " has circulated throughout the country, and provincial capitalists send instructions to their London agents to make ionti fide purchases on their account. But, although " the snake is scotched, it is not killed," and those interested in railway property should spare no exertions to complete the discomfi ture, and to destroy the evil influences of their mortal enemies. This can only be effectually achieved by legis lative enactments, such as those to which we have already adverted, and which will undoubtedly be passed, if the great interest that has been so unscrupulously assailed, and which suffered so fearfully thereby, should de mand protection from Parliament. Much, however, may be dine by the parties themselves. If, as was suggested by an esteemed correspondent, whose let ter appeared in The Sun of Saturday, every purchaser of shares insisted upon the transfer being effected with all convenient speed, and intimated that if any unnecessary delay took place he would consider his order cancelled, and the stock purchased at the risk of the broker, the " Bears" would be deprived of their great oppor tunity. The subterfuges to which they resort in order to avoid the fulfilment of their contract until they have had an opportunity of depressing the market, and inducing timid shareholders to dispose of their property at any price by their infamous inven tions and unflinching mendacity, is now unfertunately but too notorious. A stern and uncompromising spirit should be exhibited towards them, and the slightest indulgence should not be afforded to those unprincipled gamblers who take upon themselves to sell that which is not in their actual possession, and who can only obtain the profits they seek by the injury and de preciation of their neighbours' property. They are a common enemy, and should be dealt with, without compunction, whenever they fall into the power of their intended victims. In fact, like the Ishmselites, " their bands are against every man," and every mans hand should be directed against them in turn. Excuses for theft are, without question, calculated to render society lax in its moral character. And hence it has always been that the virtues of Lace deernon have shone with a spurious lustre amidst the beautiful sobriety of the Hellenes. When the Spar tan youth, hiding the stolen fox under his chlamys, allowed his vitals to be devoured without a groan rather than reveal the fact of his larceny, it is impos sible not to regard the robber with an admiration very materially modified by disgust. The incident is as revolting as that recounted by the Greek histosians of the Helots being soddened to a state of intoxica tion by wine in order to render them repulsive examples of the effects of drunken ness. Wherever, in short, virtue has been incul cated through a vicious medium, or vice ennobled by a feeble colouring cf morality, the effect has in variably been to deteriorate the character of those among whom such noxious principles have been propagated. One excuse, however, there unquestionably is for theft, or rather, we should say, one decided palliation- It is a palliation, too, such as no moralist whatsoever will have the hardihood to deny. We mean, of course, the excuse or palliation of hunger. When a man dressed with a slang affectation of fashion—his coat a paletot, his cravat a Joinville-tie , his hat gossamer, his rings mosaic, his cane M a ca steals your purse or your snuff-box while seated n e xt regard him in an omnibus, y ou are certa i n l y prone to him as more culpable than the unfortunat e wr etch who has just been driven unrelie ve d f rom th e porch of the workhouse, and has incontinently purloined a penny loaf from the next baker's. And the culpabi lity of the latter is still further diminished if, in proof of his destitution, he is found to be devouring the bread when captured by the policeman ; while the just ma gistrate is disposed to mitigate the punishment if the offender is shown to be no idle vagabond, but an honest and industrious labourer, thrown out of em ployment by illness, by calamity, by stagnation of trade, or by any one of those countless casualties to which the poor are at different intervals subjected. An occurrence of precisely this character will be found recounted in another part of this evening's im pression, in a paragraph relating to the petty see :lola of Buckinghamshire. It will be perceived from this paragraph that a railway labourer, deprived of work is consequence of the temporary suspension of the local railway, pulled two growing turnips in a field belonging to a farmer o f Steeple Claydon. The poor fellow was munching one of those crude vegetables when taken into cus tody on Friday. On Saturday he was tried before the Buckinghamshire petty session, and—for this miserable theft of two growing turnips, a theft per petrated under the influence of extreme hunger—the man was sentenced to twenty-one days imprisonment in the Aylesbury gaol, in default of payment of two shillings and of thirteen shillings and sixpence ex penses! Really one would imagine that the growing turnips of Steeple Claydon were as precious as the esculents growing in the magic garden of ALADDIN. Or, at the least, that there was a pro portionate penalty to the idle lopping, or tearing up by the root s , o f a stip pli ng as h. In Attica, according to rNUCIDIDES (or, as Mr. GROTE and his admirer, the schoolmaster of Pisiatratus Caxton, would have us CARRYING OUT THU LAW WITH VEINOBANCII.— At the Buckingham petty session on Saturday last, James Robinson, a railway labourer, out of wo r k f rom t h e temporary suspension of the Buckingham s hi re Railway in conseq uence o f the unfavourable weath er , was committ e d to Ayles bury gaol for twenty-one days in default of payment of two shillings penalty and thirteen and sixpence expenses for having, on the previous day, stolen two groe in turnips from a field in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Harper, farmer, Steeple Claydon. It appeared he was taken into custody when coming from the field with the turnips, one of which he was eating at the time, because, AS he told the officer, he was so hungry. When searched ho was found to be without money. He had worked for a few days in the last few weeks for Mr. Clark, a sub-contractor on the above railway line. The cause alleged for pressing the charge was that the prosecutor had been robbed of turnips to a great extent- The Observer of Oct. 29 contained—Official State ment of the North-Western Railway, two columns, rise of 151. share—lnsurrection at the Cape: Defeat of the Boers—Latest from Paris, Vienna, and Italy—The Drama: Salaries of Performers—Doings of the French Guards in London—Trial and Conviction of G.

We have received the French papers of Saturday and yesterday. The approaching election fir President occupies almost exclusively the attention of our Parisian contemporaries at the present moment. The question of the candidateship of M. DR LASIARTINE is at length ret at rest. He will serve if elected. M. DB Lama's'nem has addressed the following letter on this subject to the Journal des Debats : "St. Point, near Macon, Oct. 26. " Sir,—l read in the Debats an article borrowed from the Courrier de la Gironde, and beg permission to correct it. I made the following answer to a cor respondent at Bordeaux do not put myself for ward as a candidate for the Presidency. I pray to God and my friends to keep from me a burthen so mach beyond my strength. But, if the country should thirk proper to appoint me to this magistracy, I do not think I have any more right to refuse it than I thought myself warranted on February 24 to refuse the designati on o f t h e peop l e, an d h ave P ar i s without a Gevernment. Ido not believe that lam in any degree threatened with such a danger, and I only correct the Courrier de la Gironde in order to avoid all misunder tending. To solicit the Presi dency wool 1 he ridiculous; to desire it would he rash ; to reuse it would be wan'ing to the Republic and the couetry. lam devoid of this ambition, but incapable of such an set of cowardice. " A.MARTINE.' " The National Guards of Cluny having gone to the country seat of M. DE LAMARTINE to congratulate him on his arrival, he addressed them in a speech, from which we give the following extract : " De not believe, citizens, that in responding to the idea. of your commandant, and speaking to you on the election of the President of the Republic, I make the heist allusion to myself. France has hundreds of citizens; much more capable and worthy than I am to preside over her sublime but difficult destinies I repeat to you that I am far from desiring that a burthen so disproportionate to my powers should ever he cast upon me. I desire but one title, but one epitaph on my tomb, when I shall repose in it up 'n these hills whence I can view the towers of Cluny— the title of being the founder, with you, of that re public of order, security, humanity, and peace, on which I have, in fact, twenty times risked my life, and for which I am still ready to risk a thousand times more than my life--my share in the remem brsnces of posterity. eitizsns, before we pert permit me to say a few words en the general affairs with which your minds are so legitimately occupied at this moment. Every day since my return here I have been accoeted, questioned, and interrogated—' Whit think you of the Republic? luill i. endure ? Will it become regulated ? 11'ill it become victorious and calm after the clouds of doubt, the convulsions which alive) s agitate great and new-born things in their cradles ? Will it bring forth the happiness and welfare of a suffering people— the glory of tke nation, the admiration of Europe ?* Citizen', this is the answer I give to all, as I have given to myself 'r.quently when reflecting upon our futurity. I have sail to my-elf—either the people will he worthy, or th y will be unworthy, the enjey inent of the republieao in.titee ions which we nave given to them. If they do not comprehend the mean ing of the word' republic'—if they confound republic with revolution in permanence, with agitation with out end and olj-•ct—if they confound it with agitati--n of classes against classes, of the rich against the poor —if they see a perptual flood of wilful idlers on the public a's, misusiny, in demonstrations, reclima tions, conspiracies against the public pence, that time and those energies which God has bestowed upon them to be employed for their families and their country—if they listen to these blunderers in dates, confounders of times and sense, these Epithenides ef 1792, who, like the firs , . Epiaienides, slept for .50 years without being aware of the progress which had in the meantim e b een ma d e i n soc i ety , d ur i ng their sleep of half a century, in reason, in knowledge, in experience of self, in conscience, in patriotism, in moral and religious feelings—if toasts be given to the sinister day s o f 1793, w i t h th ose p os thamous tribunes of a terrorism which filled every man with dread and horror—if, with them, outcries be raised for N var without enemies, violence without pretext, blood with - out thirst—oh ! then, indeed, the Republic will and parish, false s patriotism; t itl:d w dth thfeo for scandals drunkennessa are e o n f t ievilns tdoctrinesinstitutions, and last only a very short time. Europe and our children will with blushes call upon us, say ing, Bat what is this France which has exhausted so many efforts, so much heroism, so much blood, to conquer order by the people for the people., and yet did not know, after having made the conquest, how to preserve it from the excesses of faction ?—(Ap plause.) But, if the people he worthy of the Republic, as your presence here attests (as the conformity of your sentiments and mine here and elsewhere certi fies); if the Republic is in your eyes only the sove reignty of the law, justice, and order; if, instead of sapping the eternal bases of the state, of family ties, of property, of morality, and good sense, the people would join us in raising up on these bases the en larged and improved edifice of popular and practical institutions, which are progressive and profitable to all—in a word, if the people resembles in its immense majority, you citizens, who are here applauding these sentiments because they are yours—if they resemble those admirable populations of the towns and eoun tries whom I have seen for successive days coming to hail their own ideas of a republic in mine —then, citizens—yes, then, be assured the Republic will en dure, will become regulated, restrained, consolidated ; for you will be its defenders, and the children of your children will one day come, as we do both here and elsewhere, to salute upon these hills one of the cradles of that revolution, which will become the last dynasty of the people and the monarchy of reason and the law !" The Prase supports the candidateship of Louis NAPOLEON, and that it would do so was evident for two reasons; first, the committing the destinies of the Republic to a man who, according to the Prase of 1841, " has no more intellect than heart, who paraded like a mountebank at the tournament at Eglintoun, and displayed every evening his nullity among the dandies of Drury-lane," who is "not even the chief of a party, but only the wretched caricature of one" (thus was Prince Louis Narnuoic designated by M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN in the Presse of 1811), could not but be damaging to the cause of the Republic; and secondly, Prince Louis N APOLEON is the candidate of the Emperor of RusslA, and M. EMILE DE GIRAR DIN has never disguised his desire to see France Cossack. The National has the following on the support given to the cause of Louis NAPOLEON by La Presse:— SPAIN. AND THE 8 (IN, LON DON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 131.9. speech of M. Louis Bonaparte in the Assembly, a very animated discussion took place in one of the lobbies of the Chamber between the above gentleman and M. Etienne Arago. The latter was in conver sation with M. Jerome Bonaparte when his cousin joined them. M. Etienne Arago, aldresdng him, said, 'I have been telling your cousin that our reason for opposing you is, that, even should you wiela to remain in th,e pale of Republicanism, you will he driven by the mass behind you to rorreh towards monarchy ; for what impels you forward is the igno rance of the country people and the Imperial fetish ism." But, M. Arago,' replied Louis Bonaparte, must not attention be paid to the majority ?' And it is for that reason,' said M. Arago, that I 'would postpone the election of the President, in order that the nation may be told that you have no claim, either personal Cr even borrowed, to the Presidency of the Republic ; that tha reflection of the extinguished star will wheh you seek to light yourself will b- but repliedda anon arclii al re flection.' It appears to me,' r `that I can find in the past life of my uncle same re membrances of the Republic.'—' Ah !' saA M. Arago, 'I understand what you mean. Your uncle was Consul before he was Emperor. Yes, but that remembrance is not encouraging for us, for the Consul coon transformed himself, and the monarchies have only left in our recollection the idea of Em peror. Look at the poor country people on whose votes you reckon ; they have in their humble cottages plaster hu.-.ts and coloured prints ; but ‘vhern do they represent ? Is it Bonaparte or Napoleon ? And the lithographic prints which are now hawked about from village to village, and from workshop to workshop, paid for by I know not whom, what period of the life of your uncle do they represent? Is he shown to the people as a general of the Rapablic, with the military costume of the immortal campaigns of Italy? No; it is with the grey greatcoat of the Emperor and King ; in a word, it is Napoleon, always Napoleon, and never Bonaparte. That, stir, is why no sincere and enlightened Republican iv II vote for you.' M. Louis Bonaparte turned on his heel and walked away without saying a word. The above dialogue took place in a group of at least .50 representatives, the greater part of whorl expressed their approbation to E•ienne Arago of what he had said." The Bill on the transportation of the insurgents of June to Algeria was, on Friday, taken into consi deration by the Committees of the National As sembly. The principle of the Bill was at once adopted as an act of hUrnanity, good policy, an d cecessity. Most of the speakers upon it insisted upon its necessity, as both moral and p o liti ca l, i n maintaining the severity of the penal laws ; and they expressed a hope that the convicts may ere bog become useful members of society, by forming establishments in Algeria, or by returning into the mother country. M. Mosraon, the author of the primitive proposition, called attention to the report of the Commission instituted by the Minister of Marine, which states that the Committee could not find at any point of the globe a locality better cal culated then Algeria for insuring health and security. expense of transporting 4,000 convicts frone Brest to Algeria was estimated at no more than 500,000 francs, while that of conveying them to M. idagasear would amount to more than ~r 3 e o n o i o ,t ey o n o t oi a f r . R T e ha f jr membersmb have n o o f un th c e edati Commission o spos ition to recommend that all convicts should be transported into Algeria, which would thus become the general Penitentiary of France. Bat in this CASP the incur gents of June would not be min.a;led with the ordi nary convicts. 111. MARTIN (StrAsburg), though supporting the Bill in general, expressed a wish that some of the insurgents of the departments who had been seduced into the insurrection, and „hose rela tions wished to have them restored to their families, should be exempted from transportation. A few of the members belonging to the ultra-democratic party of the National Assembly, as MM. BUVIGNIER, GERM UN SARRUT, and others, • declared themselves to be adverse to the Bill, in the hope of a general amnesty. M. Da Moot, the new Sardinian Envoy, presented his crzdantials to General CAVAIGNAC on Friday. Toe Moniteur notifies that the certificates of origin which, Pursuant to the convention of I}w 16th of September, 1846, with Russia were necessary for the admission to Russian ports of French merchandise, in exemption of the surtaxes on ;navigation, cease to he exacted. Moreover, French vessels sent from the French ports in the Channel and the Atlantic will enjoy in Russia the same treatment as nilional ves• sds, even if they should have stopped at a port on their way, provided they do not take anything on board. France, on its part, accords to ll,n3ian yes • sets reciprocity of these measures, favourable to the commerce and navigation of the twp uur;rics. The Moniteur a!so Announces the appointment of M.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, °cr. 28. Nerthern of Franco, 61 41—Paris and Lyons, s —Ditto, ditto, 4% —Rouen and Havre, 71,. Madrid journals of the 24th have arrived. All Madrid was startled from its propriety on the morning of that day by the announcement that NAR VAEE had suddenly left the city in the course of the preceding night. The hangers-on of the Court were at great pains to impress the public with an idea that he had only gone on an excursion to Alcala, and would return shortly. The prevailing opinion, how ever, was, that he had set out for Catalonia to take the command against the Carlists, who are making great progress in Catalonia and Arrag-m. On the 22d Senor MONTANES, a Progressista De puty, was arrested in the palace, close to the QUEEN'S bedchamber. He was unarmed, and was evidently insane. it appears he had arrived from Saragossa, where he had been under medical treatment for some time. The unfortunate lunatic was conveyed to the hospital. had officially declared that he would consider the bombardment of Vienna as a cases tell with France. The English envoy is also sta'ed to have protested against the seine of Vienna. The Viennese are said to be in possession of 120 pieces of artillery. The passenger trains on the Northern Railway were to be completely suspended on the 22d, and no one was to be allowed to leave Vienna. Part of the army of WINDISCHGRATZ had arrived at Florisdorf, where the inhabitant.; had removed pa of the bridge. On the 20th the Austrian Diet at Vienna issued the new proclamation to the people, which we yes terday stated it had adopted. In this document it states " that it had done everythinz in its power to effect a pacific solution of existing differences, and had in vain endeavoured to procure the retreat of the Croatian army." The proclamation then justifies the arming of the people of the capital by the forcible disarming by the imperial troops in the environs of Vienna of the National Guards legally organised, and the arreat and detention of some Members of the Diet. The proclamation concludes by an earnest exhortation to the people to have confidence in the Diet and abstain from anarchy. In the sitting of the Diet on the 21q the President stated that the address to his MAJESTY had been sent by a courier to Oilinutz, and that the following letter had been received from the deputation of the Central Power at Frankfort. " In announcing their arrival by these presents the Committee have forwarded their proclamation. They wish that it may be provisionally published, in order to their having a welcome, and that hostilities be suspended. " The deputation of the Central Power, " \ITEM( E R. " MOLKSE." The Minister stated that, in consequence of 'tha receipt of the Imperial manifesto, and the letter from the Plenipotentiaries of the Central Power, it would be expedient to remain in state quo for the present, and wait for further overtures. The journal of the Austrian Lloyd gives detailed accounts of the state and excitement of Vienna. The Imperial palace, it was reported, and all the other public buildings, were filled with gunpowder. They were to be blown up as soon as the first piece of artillery should be hoisted against Vienna. It was also said that the Hungarians, by order of Kossuth, had fallen back four miles (German), and that they sent a deputation to Vienna, stating that they merely intended to reorganise their army, and were ready to fly to Vienna at the first signal ; but as it was (o:pected that this appeal would not he marls, by the present Committee for Public Safety, who are in dined for peace, Dr. ScuuTTE convoked a popular 'Assembly for the 23d instant, for the purpose of constituting another committee which should act with more resolution. Accounts in the Dor senhalle of the 26th intltant state, that WINDISCHGRXTZ had notified to the Vien ' nese, that if they did not surrender by the evening of the 24th, he would bombard the city on the next day. The. Viennese replied, that, if he carried his threat into execution, they would immediately frang the two Imperial vnerals who were in thk.ir own hands. Letters from Vienna of the 21st instant in the .Tcolnische Zeitoong, state that the conditions laid down by WINDBORGRATZ fur a peaceful agreement with th 4 city are—The complete disarmament of those who have taken arms since the 6th of October, the dispersion of the Academical Legion, the closing of the University, and the extradition of Count LATOUR'S murderers. A letter from Breslau of th 4 231 says :—" The Imperial troops are beginning to construct a bridge at Kloster Newburg. A deputation of students h is set out for 011mutz with proposals for a mediation." A letter in the Augsburg Gazette of the 20 - h says :—There is no longer any doubt as to the entry ' of the Itu , sians. The two Hungarian regiments gar risoned at Lemberg, which appeared inclined to set out for Vienna, as well as a regiment of infantry, which testified sympathy for Vienna, ha•i been de ' dared in a state of mutiny.

The EMPEROR refused to receive the deputation of Common Council at 01-nutz, but published Count WESSENBERG'S reply to this deputation, which is as follows " The address of the Vienna Common Council has been laid before his Majesty ; but as it contains re quests with which his Majesty cannot comply at the present moment, I am directed, therefore, that all further requests respecting the restoration of tran quillity at Vienna must be addressed to the Genera li:simo of the army, Windischgriizz, who is furnished with the requisite full powers.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 27.--In the sitting this day the President announced to thf-) Assembly that the First Chamber had adhered to the project of the address in reply to the speech from the Throne, and that the Committee charged with presenting this address to the KING was present to give au account of its mission. M. VAN DAM VAN ISSETT, President of the Coin mittce, stated that after the Committee had been re ceived by the KING, and his :MAJESTY had heard the address, he made the following reply : _ _ _ `• Noble and Mighty Lords, I receive this address with very lively satisfaction. I hare ever attached much value to a p?rfect concordance of opinions between representatives of the people and myself, but, under present circumstances, this unanimity of opi nion assumes a double value in my eyes. " I must express to you the gratitude and satis faction which I feel at this moment. I cherish the firm conviction that, so long as the Prince and the nation shall continue to walk together in the same road, and have no other object than the general welfare, the blessings of the Almighty will never be invoked in vain." In the sitting of to-morrow the project of law for covering the deficit arising from the ways and means will he discussed. STATES OF THE ZOLLVEREIN. The resolution taken by the French Government on the 10th June last, according to which a pre mium of exportation is granted to some products of national industry, has induced the Union of the GL-r -man Customs to make reprisals, and it has charged these same articles with higher duties on their im portation into the States of the Zollverein. Inde pendently of this, in consequence of the general tendency which the decree of the Customs' Union indicates, several Governments, besides that or the Netherlands, have addressed the Cabinet 7,t Berlin respecting the proposition on which the resolution of the Diet was framed, and have made representations against the application of this measure on the mer cantile products of other countries. However, as it is probable that the resolution which will be adopted on these divers representations may be yet retarded some time, it is probable that increased duties may be de manded also on these same products on their impor tation into the Zollverein. It is therefore the interest of Dutch merchants that they provide themselves beforehand with the neces sary certificates of origin. These documents will afterwards be available for reclaiming the restitution of the increase of duty which they may have been obliged to pay, if, as may be anticipated, the mea sure in question may be made to extend to products of Netherlands manufacture.

The Prease contains an article given as communi cated which states that the German central power has just made by its representative, M. llacnscuEe, overtures to the Sardinian Cabinet for the purpose o f facilitating an honourable peace between Austria and King CUARLES ALBERT. In order to prove that this step only emanates from a sincere desire to maintain universal peace in the common interest of Europe, M. llacKscliza is charged to inform the Court of Turin that the German central power has already taken all the necessary measures to aid Austria to repel a new aggression on the part of Sardinia. Whilst the troops of the German Confederation have been placed at the orders of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, in order that this latter might not need either to call to his aid against the insurgents of Vienna Alarshal RADETSR.Y, nor to weaken the Austrian army in Lombardy, the Bavarian contingent, the communication declares, is ready to enter the Tyro and Styria, as soon as Mar shal RADETZKY should demand reinforcements to sup part the struggle in Lombardy with energy. After having thus warned the Sardinian Government of fir dangers which it runs in continuing a war, the chances of which have not hitherto been favourable to it, the central German power declares a conviction that no foreign government is more naturally called on to act as mediator than itself, and expresses a hope that its efforts may be successful. The Piedmenteae Gazette of the 231 inst. announces that King CHARLES ALBERT had appointed Baron EUSEBE BAVA General-in Chief of the royal army; Lieutenant-General CEIRZANOWSKI Chief of the Ge neral Staff; General A.

These dispatches contain in sub stance, that an armed demonstration is in progress at Leghorn, and emissaries are being sent to the differ ent parts of Tuscany; that the people in arms are occupying the forts and the gates ; that hostages will be required; and that the Governor has no more power, and wishes to leave, but is retained.

MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY. With the exception of the supply of English Barley being somewhat on the increase —though it was small, the time of year considered—the arrivals of all kinds of groin, as well as flour, of home-produce, during the last we to, were on a lr cry limited scale, and of but middling quality. A few cargoes of Oats came to hand from Ire -1 end; but the receipts from Scotland were unusually - small. Owing to the boisterous weather, and the change's in the wind, the imports of Grain from abroad exhibited ! a falling off, compared with those in the two preceding weeks; but those of Flour—principally from France- - wore rather heavy. The total quantities were as follow: r: —Wheat, 15,260; Barley, 1,618; Oats, 1,578; 1,860; Beans, 947; Peas, 513; Tares, 81; Linse. d, 12,901; and sundry Seeds, 967 quarters. Flour, 1,0 ack barrels, and 8,633 sacks. From Essex, Kent, Ca 31. bridgeshire, &c., a very limited quantity of Wheat ca me fresh to hand for this morning's market, coastwise as v tell as by land-carriage, and sample. As the bulk of the silt ply shown on Friday was disposed of, very few stale pan to wore brought forward to-day; hence, the stands w, •0 scantily supplied with samples of both red and wh it e.

The quantity of free foreign Whe it on offur was not to say large, considering the heavy sup plies lately received for home consumption. F rime qualities commanded a firm inquiry, at fully last w ark's quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds, a :fair average amount of business was doing, at :late rates. Prior to the rise in the duty on Thursday last to 5s per quarter, 80 .000 quarters were released from the bonded wareho m sea. There was a et - Tided improvement in the sale for the best malting Barley, at a rise in value of from is t ta, in some instances, 2s per quarter. Grinding and dist Ming sorts were in moderate request at fu ly last week's eur reee:u. The supply of Barley, both English and fo reign, was seasonably good in quality, but small in qua laity. For most kinds of Malt, ready for delivery, we I tad a fair inquiry,. at prices quite equal to those realis td on Monday last. For forward delivery but few sales took place, yet the holders were very firm. The total • quan tity of Oats on show was small, neverthelt as it proved quite adequate to meet the want a of the dealers. Sound Corn produced fully late rates. Otherwise, the Oat trade was in a fiug gish state, but without alteration in value. :For Beans the inquiry ruled dull, at last week's prices.

A very extensive supply 'of country-killed meat has been received up to these markets since Monday last. it having amounts d to nearly 800 carcases of Beef, 1,500 ditto of Mutton, 900 ditto of Veal, and 1,800 ditto of Pork. The supplies on offer slaughtered in the metro polls have been large; owing to which, and the prevail ing damp weather, the general demand has ruled ex cessively heavy, at a decline in prices of from 2d to, in some instances, 41 per Sibs. Great difficulty has been experienced, on the part of the salesmen, in effecting a clearance. About 700 carcases of foreign meat kayo appeared on sale.

Our market rules firm for the best New Hops, in pockets, at fully last week's quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds, as well as yearling and Old Hops, comparatively little business has been transacted. The duty upon a few unimportant districts has been declared at 9,5171 16s 61d. That for the whole country is still called 205,0001 to 210,000/. New Hops_ Sussex pockets, 44s to 60s ; Weald of Kent ditto, 48s to 70s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 56s to 107 s; Farnhams, 107 s to 112 s per cwt. OL. The imports of Wool'W into O London, last week, con sisted of only 150 bales from Hamburgh t 73 ditto from the Cape ; 49 ditto from Rotterdam ; and 8 ditto from Oporto. The demand in the private contract market is tolerably steady, but owing to the large parcels of Colonial Wool we have not the slightest improvement to notice in prices. TALLO On tho wh ( l o our market must . be considered firm, at fully the late depression in the quotations. The imports last week were only 641 casks, but there are upwards of 10,000 casks now on their way from St. Petersburgit. The stock is one of the largest on record, yet the im porters are by no means anxious sellers at present prices. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 443 9d to 45s per cwt. Steady sales have been done for all the year at 448 3d to 44s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow, 45s per cwt net cash; Rough Fat, 2s 7d per Sibs. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—The Privy COUR.. cil for further proroguing Parliament from Thursday, the 2d of November, has been appointed to be held to morrow, at half-past two o'clock in th e a f ternoon, at Windsor Castle. The Cabinet Ministers, and the great Officers of State of the Queen's Household, have been summoned to attend her Majesty on that day, and a special railway train has been ordered for the convey ance of the Privy Councillors from the metropolis. Se veral of the Ministers have, however, taken their depar ture from town, and have returned to their country seats, after attending the Cabinet Councils held last week. COVENT- GARDEN TREAT RZ.—Air. Sims Reeves having been labouring for the last two days under a slight cold, the op r t of Ilaydie, from which so much is expected, h is been judiciously postponed until Wednes day next. There is no truth whatever in the statement which has gone the round of the papers, respecting the erec. tion of a new Colonial-office on the site of Lady Dover's mansion in Whitehall.
