The proprietors of railway stock are at length beginning to shake off the apathy under which they have so long remained quiescent, while the value of their property has been depreciated, and they have practically been plundered by those who have assumed the right to deal therein without being the actual and iota fide possessors of a single share. The extent of the grievance is now felt by all really in • terested; and directors and shareholders will co operate together for the purpose of arresting the pro gress of the evil that, if suffered to continue, can only terminate in the ruin of their undertakings, and also in .inflicting severe injury to the community in general, who will at length be deprived of the extraordinary advantages now enjoyed, of facilities for locomotion which could not have been credited even twenty years since. The shareholders may be the first to suffer, but the public ill in turn have to lament the extraordinary delusion that prevailed, by which a body of reckless and unprinci pled speculators were enabled to destroy, or even materially to lessen, the beneficial results of the greatest monuments of national enterprise and naticesal industry that had ever been constructed. For some time past it would appear as if the holders of railway stock were regarded as public enemies against whom every device was lawful—that, in fact, it was a meritorious action to injure their property in any manner whatever. The Legis lature was called upon to establish new and most stringent regulations for the management of the different lines. The companies were by law compelled to give certain advantages to the humbler classes of passengers by starting tl4ird•class trains at c heap fares every day. We do not quarrel with that ruls; on the contrary, we believe it to have been a very proper enactment, and that its extension even be, end the present limits would be not only beneficial to the public, but to the shareholders themselves in a stilt greater degree. It must, however, be allowed that there has been no such interference with any o their description of private property, as to oblige elirestors to run certain trains whether they would be likely to prove remunerative or otherwise. A special tax was imposed on the transfer of shares, which has proved in the highest degree injurious to their interests. Other sug. gestioni Fare also been made, which, if adopted, would have the effect of creating new and most vexatious restrictions. But it is not from the Legislature only that they hare been exposed to annoyance. The usual facilities grutted in the money market to those possessed of any other description of property have been withheld from the holders of railway stock. The majo, city of bankers refuse to make any advance even upon shares in bona fide dividend paying lines. They are ac cursed things, which must not be meddled with, and no assistance, however trifling, will be given if it is suspected that the parties requiring it intend to devote any portion thereof to the payment of calls. Bills of the most solvent parties will not be locked at if suspected of being in any manner connected. with railway dealings or a railway origin. Hence, when calls are made, which could easily be met at a season of greater commercial activity, they can only be provided for by sacrificing a portion of the stock at far less than its real value, to maintain an interest in the residue, and frequently such a sacrifice is inade quate. The stock cannot be disposed of at any price, in consequence of the panic excited by the operations of the "Bears." Those circumstances must be duly regarded by the railway interest, and measures adopted to provide suitable remedies. One of the chief impedi ments to successful operations has, we be lieve, been recently removed. Amicable re lations have been restored between the directors of the great companies, and there is no longer a proba bility of large sums being wasted in useless conflicts before a Parliamentary Committee, or works of doubt ful expediency being undertaken, not on account of their intrinsic value or the benefits that may be de rived from their construction, but merely in order to prevent a rival company from obtaining a footing in their territory. Considerable losses have been sus tained and difficulties occasioned by this practice, but it has at length virtually been brought to a conclu sion, and there is little prospect of our witnessing a renewal of the battle of the gauges, or that a similar amount of the shareholders' money should again be transferred to the pockets of their legal advisers. The curtailment of the Parliamentary and legal expenses that may be expected from the improved feeling between the different companies, will at once get rid of one of the heaviest outlays which materially affected the shareholders. It may safely be concluded that no new undertaking will be projected or carried into execution unless the beneficial results that may reasonably be calculated on are of such a character as to render it manifestly the interest of the share sholders that it should be constructed. The fear, therefore, of new liabilities beyond the means of the parties will thus be avoided. A vague dread of these unknown amounts has induced many persons to dispose of their shares at prices which under other circumstances they would not have thought for a moment of accepting. If the example set by the directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway be generally followed, as we believe it will be, and that the actual position of the affairs of the several companies, and the extent of their present and prospective liabilities, be fully and fairly set forth, the alarm would Le immediately dis sipated and confidence restored. We are convinced that the true position of any single company is not so bad as a vague and unfounded terror has ascribed even to the very best. An important question—a question involving the preseivation or rupture of European tranquillity— was discussed on Saturday last in the tribune of the National Assembly, and elicited in that sitting a very brilliant, oration from the lips of the Historian of NAPOLEON. The subject of this extraordinary discussion was one calculated to affect, in a material degree, the vigour and organization of the army of the most military people on the face of the globe. It was nothing less than the practice of reneplacement, or substitution, in the working of the great system of conscription. I;pen the settlement of this remark able section in the martial code of France is de pendent the efficiency of her troops, and con sequently the security and stability of the Republican institutions. As if to add, more over, to the exceeding interest of the debate, the advocates of the contrary opinions—those who maintained the advisability, and those who in sisted upon the evil consequences, of allowing the citizens to find substitutes when called upon to par ticipate in the duties of the soldiery—comprised the names of men who have a hundred times distinguished themselves, either theoretically or practically, in the science of battle, and the art of military organisation. It is a circumstance to which the French Parliament, whether monarchical or republican, has been long habituated—to behold M. THIERS discoursing on war and its exigencies to an auditory among whom are captains who have grown grey in campaigning, and whose visages are tawny under the influence of the march and the bivouac in the arid solitudes of Algeria. If ADOLPHE TIMERS has not experienced the vicissitudes of the profession, if his very mannerisms as an orator are indicative of the habits of the civilian, if he has never donned the uniform except within the circumference of the boulevards, when shouldering the musket against the epaulette of the Garde National, he has been intellectually nur tured into a warrior, his imagination has traversed Europe in the track of the Imperial army, he has, to employ figuratively one of the most striking pas sages in one of the most eloquent proclamations of the Youthful Conqueror BONAPARTE, " made forced marches without shoes, crossed rivers without bridges, captured fortified towns without artillery, and bivouacked through the refrigerating nights of winter without bread or brandy." Theoretically M. TRIERS is a soldier, and a soldier remarkable fir his experiences. He has revealed in the closet, if not in the camp, much of the versatility of the eloquent and heroic TAClTLYS—wielding in turn the sword of the commander and the pen of the historian. Speaking then, not certainly ex cathedra, but as suredly 1 . histoire a la twain, M. TRIBES grappled with his subject vigorously, notwithstanding the formi dable opposition of a SUBRRVIE and a LAMORICIERE. In defiance of all official assertions to the contrary, he laid down the following very axiomatic deductions that among those races, such as the Arabs, where every one is a soldier, the army consists of nomad - and barbarian troops—that wherever it was the practice with a nation to render military service compulsory upon, every individual, that nation acquired no military distinction—that, on the contrary, wherever, as in Rome, the military pro• fession was a speciality, a caste composed of the civic ronzani, a division distinguishable from all the other divisions of citizenhip, that nation reaped glory from victory, and emolument from conquest that in England, for example, the military profession was a special profession, rendering the national army so efficient that its only fault was its want of extension —that the soldier acquired skill from repetition, and discipline from habit, quite as much as the mechanic, the artizan, the sailor, or the agriculturist—and that all the great captains without exception, NAPOLEON, FREDERICK, TURERNE, MONTECUCULLI, and Prince EUGENE, coincided in regarding long service as essen tial for the development of the efficiency and vigour of an army. In testimony of this, the orator referred to the capitulation of Baylen, where the unfortunate General DUPONT, who had proved himself a hero both at Ulm and at Friedland, was paralysed into a dis graceful submission in consequence of the youth and inexperience of his forces. As an additional corroboration of the correctness of his argu ment, he reminded the Assembly of the remark addressed to his Majesty NAPOLEON by Admiral TEUGUET, " I require old seamen, while you, people of the earth, w i t h con scripts of a few months' enlistment, can gain great battles I" To which the EMPEROR replied, m on _ sieer r Ansiral, you know not what you say. . . Yes, it is true people have declared that six months can make a soldier, but that is false; men who say that know nothing about armies ; soldiers are not made in six months, neither in nine months. Ah I certea, have good soldiers ; but they did not become go o d and even eight years' service." until after six, seven, And further on, as an appropriate corollary to the foregoing, M. TRIERS entertained his auditor s with an anecdote, recounting a remark addressed by NAPOLEON to his Marshals, when, standing upon the field of Austerlitz, immediately after the victory of Wagram, he exclaimed musingly and abstractedly, "Yes, I have no longer my army of Austerlitz !" " Sire," observed one of the officers, interrupting him with the respect due to his august position, " Sire, you have no longer your army of Austerlitz; but are you not content then with your army of Wagram ?" Thus replied the EMPEROR—" Yes, it is heroic, it has given me proof of its heroism ; but yet it is not the army of Austerlitz ! If I had had the army of Austerlitz at Wagram, the Austrian monarchy would be no longer in existence, for there would no longer be an army of Austrians." And the explication of this memorable remark was simply the youth and inexperience of the soldiers of Wagram when contrasted with the veterans who had fought so gloriously on the day of Austerlitz. Such is the skeleton, the epitome, the tendency, of the remarkable oration pronounced by M. THIERS on Saturday. It was a brilliant argument in favour of a system which, in its best moments, has, rendered the French soldier the first soldier in the world " as to vivacity, as to spontaniety, as to military apti tude." It is a splendid advocacy ofa system which has en rolled the names of HOCIIE, of KLEBER, of LANNES side by side with the sons of the aristocracy ; those of DESAIX, of DAVOUST, side by side iwith the children of the bourgeoisie ; those of JUNOT, of Meacnau, of MuRAT, of MASSANA, of MOREAU ! And it WAS a mag nificent panegyric upon a system which has secured to England the glory of her military as well as of her maritime puissance. Still, in the moment of our egotistic pleasure while listening to the eulogiums of M. TIIIERS, we must remember that even with ourselves the system is very far from being perfected; and that if the profession of arms in England is a profession as distinct as those of law or medicine, it is still de plorably deficient in the great desideratum of edu cation. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the French papers of yesterday. The noble manner in which General CATAIGNAC came forward on Saturday in defence of General L AMORICIEItE, and the characteristic and disin terested words which he uttered on that occasion, have won for him " golden opinions from all sorts of men," and are the subject of eulogistic comment in almost all the journals. The National gives the fol lowing graphic account of this remarkable incident : " A serious and most unexpected incident sud denly interrupted the debate. General Lebreton rose to speak, and quitting the subject before the As sembly, took the liberty of making a most unbe coming personal attack on the Minister of War. After a reply from General Lamoriciere as clear as it was well expressed, General Cavaignac ascended the tribune, and with that accent in which is easily distinguished the warmth of soul and the nobility of heart, he said, ' Ge neral Lebreton, regarding General Lamoriciere with affectation, spoke of fortune and hazard. General Lebreton made war in Africa with us, and he knows better than anybody by what services that man (pointing to the Minister of War) has succeeded in arriving where he is. As for my part, if anything astonishes me, it is to see him in the second rank whilst I occupy the first.' We should in vain endea vour to describe the impression which that generous speech produced upon the Assembly. It appeared as if an electric spark had run through all the benches of the assembly, and caused every soul to beat in unison. No. Whatever dangers may menace the Republic, as long as it shall have such noble cha racters at its service the Republic cannot perish." The adjourned debate on the Constitution was resumed in the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, and it was supposed that the discussion would be concluded, and the Constitution passed, before the conclusion of the sitting. On the 1 lgth Article being proposed, which enacts that the election of the President of the Republic shall take place immediately after the voting of the Constitution, M. DUPIN, at the request of the Committee en the Constitution, moved that the article should be altogether emitted, thus leaving it to the Assembly to fix, by special decree, the day when the election is to take place. The motion was agreed to, and the Committee ordered to present a decree, in the course of the next sitting, fixing the day for the election. When the post left the Assembly was engaged in the discus sion of an article proposed by M. PUTSEGUR, to the effect that the Constitution should be submitted to the approbation and sanction of the people. There can be no doubt but that the motion of M. PUTSEGUIt will be rejected by a large majority. PARIS BOURSE—MoNPAY, OCT. 23. ThREE O'CLOCK.—The accounts received from Vienna are much more pacific in their character. It appears probable that there will be no collision between the people of Vienna and the array. Accounts of the 18th, trom Vienna, are said to have been received by an eminent banker, which stated that the Bourse opened that day, and that the metalliques rose two per cent. These rumours had a favourable effect, and the prices both of the Rentes and Railway Shares were exceed ingly firm all day. In domestic affairs there was no news of any kind. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have advanced 25c., the Fire per Cents. 35c., and the Loan 25c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have advanced 20c., the Five per Cents. 40c., and the Loan 20c. Bons du Treisor are at 22 discount; Bank of France Shares have advanced 20f.; Belgian Bank Shares are at 645; ditto Five per Cents. are higher; Spanish Funds not quoted; Roman have risen * per cent.; Rothschild's Receipts are at 79f. Exchange on London (30 days), 25 45; ditto (90 days), 25 27k. Railway Shares for the Account, settling of the 31st of October:—Orleans have risen 7f. 50c. ; Northerns, If'. 25c.; and Strasburgs, It. 25c. The others not quoted. For Money, Orleans have risen 15f., Rouen* 10f., Bor deaux and Northerns 2f. 50c., Versailles (Left Bank), Ilavres, and Strasburgs, If. 25c. each. Marseilles have declined 5f., and Nantes If. 25c.

SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1848. THE LEVANT. Advices from Malta of the 14th state that news had reached that island on the 13th, by the royal yacht schooner Gitana, that an outbreak had occurred at Cephalonia, where the populace had risen and fired on the soldiers. An express had been forwarded to his Excellency Lord SZATON, at Corfu, who had pro ceeded in person to the theatre of the disturbance with 500 men of the garrison there, a force, it was thought, more than sufficient to quell the insurrection. The Board of Health continue to give clean bills of health, and Leghorn and Naples have taken off the quarantine recently imposed on vessels coming from Malta. GERMANY ♦ND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. Advices frem Vienna have been received to the 19th instant, at which time affairs continued in etatu quo. The deputation from the Diet had an audience uf the EMPEROR on the 15th. The Wiener Zeitung of the 18th publishes the following telegraphic dis patch, dated Floridsdorf, October 16, two o'clock rat., from the deputy of the Diet, FIESCEER, to the per manent Committee of the Diet:— " The audience took place yesterday evening, at half•past six. His Majesty gave the following reply to the deputation :-- "' It is with much satisfaction that I learn from the address of the Diet presented to me that it has at heart the common weal of all countries belonging to the Austrian empire ; and the endeavours of the Diet to suppress the threatened anarchy deserve my most cordial acknowledgments. I Will, on my part, concede everything in order to re-establish the peace and security of my capital, and to guarantee to the constitutional Diet the utmost security fo; its future undisturbed deliberations.' " WINDISCHGRATZ is advancing towards Vienna. On the 17th the troops under his command occupied Angern. In the meantime the Viennese are pre pared to give him a warm reception, should he attack the city. The National Guards display great energy and activity, and their commanders are soldiers of experience. Four corps of Gardes Mobiles have been formed, and the artillery is under the direction of able and experienced officers. In the Belvidere, formerly occupied by AUERSPERG and his troops, since the 16th inst., 7,000 Gardes Mobiles were en camped, which were to be increased to the number of 15,000. They were commanded by General BERM. The cause of the Viennese is becoming daily more popular throughout Germany, and even in Moravia and Bohemia. The EMPEROR, on his entry into 01- mutz, where he has for the present taken up his residence, was received by the people with mournful silence, although the military occasionally set the example of cheering. The dzy before the arrival of the EMPEROR the National. Guards of Olmutz got up a requisition, declaring their adhesion to the cause of the Diet, and several students had set off armed to go its assistance, but were stopped at the railway by the troops of the EMPEROR. All the stations from Olmutz to Vienna, and from Olmutz to Prague, are occupied by the soldiers of WiNniscii- GRATZ. The EMPEROR is, it is said, inclined to en tertain the proposal of the Deputy BORROSC,H, to call a National Congress at Vienna for the adjustment of the national differences. It is supposed that very shortly an army of 90,000 men will be concentrated under the command of WitiniscifoasTz, in the neighbourhood of Vienna; but the probability is that instead of attacking the Viennese they will attack one another. The, Czechs 1% ill hArdly be content to obey WI/1),frO1IGR• TZ, ho so recently bombarded their capital, Prague. TI le Poles of Galicia and of Cracow will scarcely fight for an EMPEROR who not two years since caused to be organized in their country a series of the most atro cious murders that were ever committed. The Italians most assuredly will not draw sword in tho cause of the master of RADETZKT, and the Germans will not aid an unprincipled Camarillo in its endea vours to subject one of the fairest portions of Alle mania to the dominion of hordes of plundering Croats. The beginning of the end is already per ceptible. A letter from Prague of the 16th Oct. says—" Twenty-two thousand men and six batteries are to be dispatched to Vienna. The soldiers mani fest displeasure in marching for a civil war, and the Grenadiers, who are not liked, had been ordered on quitting Prague to make a detour, instead of passing through the city, on their way to the railroad, pro bably to avoid a conflict with the people." According to intelligence from Cracow of the 17th instant in the Breslaaer Zeitung, orders had been received there, on the 15th, to send all the artillery and cavalry from Lemberg, Przemgol, Przeschow, and Tarnow, to Vienna. It was further asserted that, in consequence of an agreement with Russia, the Russian army under General PAUL/ITM would march into Cracow as soon as the Republic should be proclaimed in Vienna a. or a rise should take place in Galicia. The Hungarian frontier is swarming with Magyar troops under the command of KOSSUTH, MESSAROS, and MoGA, who only await the permission of the Viennese Diet to cross the Austrian frontier, and advance to the assistance of the capital. The Magyars have now expelled every Croat from the soil of Hungary. PRUSSIA. Accounts have been received from Berlin to the 19th instant. The city was perfectly quiet at that date. The recovery of Major VOGJIL, who was wounded in the attack on one of the barricades during the recent ineute is considered doubtful. In the sitting of the National Assembly, on the 18th, the petition of the workmen was fully discussed. The first article—viz., Inquiry into the reasons which led to the results of the movement, was refused by the Minister of Justice. On the second article, the majority of the committee were of opinion that the decision of the cause which led to those events could not possibly be given ; tor that, by doing so, the committee would be anticipating the examination, and passing their verdict on the subject which is in volved in the second point. That the maintenance of the widows and orphans of those who had fallen by the Communal Council was a matter of course. The interment of the deceased at the general expense mu s t be declined. The minority were of a diametrically opposite opinion. They demanded that the provision of the families and interment of the deceased should be provided for by the State. The petition of the workmen, to be paid for their work on Monday and Tuesday, was declined. After a leEgthened discussion, in which Deputy liNvrn stated that a solemn interment, at the ex pense of the State, would be an inference that the deceased had fallen in defence of their country; that as the rising of the workmen was not occasioned by any political motives, but was solely an Esseita, he was of opinion that there could be neither a solemn nor a common interment. The majority decided that the Minister of Justice should undertake an impartial investigation, and the communal authorities should provide for the inter ment of the deceased, and for their families. The Communal Council will publicly inter only the burgher guard Rho were killed, and will follow the funeral in a body. The corpses of the workmen hare been placed at the disposal of the democratic clubs, wh• hare united in order to give them a public funeral. According to the official returns, the number of wounded at two of the hospitals amounts to thirteen, of whom ten at least are in a dying state. The number of dead at La Charity already amounts to eight. BAVARIA. Letters from Munich, of the 10th October, state that several riots have occurred in that city in con sequence of the increase of the duty on rice. ITALY. LOMBARD Y. The National Savoiaien of the 19th inst.announces, from a private letter, that an insurrection has broken out at Como. The people have driven out the Aus trian garrison ; but the same letter states that 10,000 men had been directed to the spot by RADETZLY. THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

MO E Y rind CONI tj -1.9 F S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, at Friday's quotations. The sales were about 5,000 bales, a small portion of which was taken by export, rs. —For Railway Shares there was a very dull and gloomy market, and prices were again lower. The state of the dried fruit trade in London becomes interesting as we approach the winter season, and Messrs. Witherby and Hanson, brokers, have furnished us with the following particulars The clearances here for home consumption exceed those at this period of last season, and there is no rea son to apprehend much, if any, diminution in our deli veries before Christmas, as compared with former years. On the contrary, the consumption is likely to be stimu lated by the superior quality of this year's crop and by a short supply of raisins. Though the arrivals will soon be heavy, it must be borne in mind that, during the month of November of last year we received at this port by twenty-eight ships no leas than 4,000 tons of currants, and that the clearances for consumption from 20th September to 20th December reached that quan• tity, and for export 700 tons. Had the quality of the fruit been equal to this year's crop, the consumption would bare been larger." Of raisins, it is said that they have again fallen in price, although the arrivals are small, and likely to be inadequate if a good demand sets in. There are later dates from the Cape of Good Hope, viz., to August 12. Major Warden, who, with his small force, had been allowed by Pre torius to retire beyond the Orange river, had posted himself to wait for reinforcements. There was still a hope of an amicable settlement with the Boers, for, although Pretorius was determined in his bearing, he had committed no hostilities. The America, from New York, brings advices of dull markets for grain and cotton. It is mentioned in the New York accounts, that— " The value of merchandise and amount of specie im ported into this district for the week ending the ith instant, exclusive of that sent to the warehouse, and the amount of duties on the same, in each of the past three years, were as annexed:— Commutcz or VIE POIST •r NIR Tom.—WEEKLT IIL2OIIII.

Of the imports for the past week, 437,560 dolls. were in dry goods; and the value of dry goods warehoused was about equal to the amount withdrawn. The amount of drafts on the Treasury, for the week, was 531,057 dolls., which exceed the amount received fur duties 231,806 dolls." New Grenada papers have been received via New York. The most prominent subject in these files is the progress of the Presidential election now going on in New Grenada. General Lopez seems to be the favourite candidate—out of the 1,293 votes of the Houses of Assembly of the provinces of Bogota, Tueja, Velez, Pampeluna, Mariquita, Nerva, Cauca, and Socorro, the General received 593. His most formidable opponent is Dr. Gori, who received 320. The remain ing votes were scattered among five other candidates. The election was not as yet concluded. From all that we can gather from our files everything was going on quietly and prosperously in New Grenada;and it is to be hoped that it will long remain so, as the unhappy con dition of Venezuela ought to be a lesson to the other republics to avoid all civil dissensions. The Funds have had a firmer tone, a natural reaction after a sudden decline, but the transactions are more limited than yesterday. The accounts from Vienna are somewhat tranquillizing, though by no means decisive. Consols are 84k for 'Transfer, and 84i for Account. Exchequer-bills realise 365. premium for those dated in June. Bank Stock has improved to 184 and 1841. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 834 to 84. The Foreign Securities are dull. Spanish Fire per Cents. bare been as low as 103.

Mr. Parry was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner. From the statements of the counsel for the prosecu tion and the evidence called in support of it, it appeared that the prosecutrix had been a servant in the house of the prisoner for three weeks previous to the evening on which the offence was alleged to have been committed; that on the evening of the 18th of August the prisoner came down inte the kitchen, and that there the offence charged in the indictment was committed. The evidence of the prosecutrix in chief was not fit, in many parts, for publication, but went to prove the state ments made by Mr. Parry of the attempt on the part of the prisoner. The prosecutrix underwent a severe (cross-axamina tion by Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of the prisoner, but her evidence in chief was not shaken by it with respect to the attempt of the prisoner. The prosecutrix denied that she had ever been discharged from situations she had previously held on account of dishonesty or a habit of telling falsehoods. After the examination of two other witnesses for the prosecution, Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the prisoner, contending that no case had been made out against him, the evidence of the prosecutrix being unworthy of belief.
