M. de Fitzjames says— " Legitimatists, myrriends, whose hearts beat like:mine for the welfare and grandeur of France, forget for an in stant your affections, to think only of the country so long delivered! up to the hands of intriguants, the refuse of all the parties who divide it. Do not allow yourselves to be dragged after them, for calamity would result to you, and you would disgrace yourselves in this im pure combat. In the vote which you are about to give, let there be no arriere pensee, no subterfuge unworthy of the noble party whom you represent, and which must remain the party of honour and probity. Have patience, for God watches over France. His decrees are unfore seen, his justice prompt, his chastisement terrible. He gave a proof of this on the 24th of February. Have pa tience; with universal suffrage fear nothing for the future of your country.lThe people become more enlightened every day. Do not be terrified at the momentary en thusiasm which directs them towards a great souvenir i letter !et of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY ETENIN&, DECEMBER 8, 1848.: AUSTRIA. It appears that Prince Windiscbgratz and Baron Jellachich received a special summons on the Ist inst., in obedience to which they both immediately set off from Vienna for 011mutz, and on their arrival there they were informed of the abdication of the Emperor Ferdinand. The following are the proclamations of the two Emperors : " WE FERDINAND L, BY THE GRACE OF GOD EMPEROR, &C. " When after the decease of our father, the late Etn. peror Francis 1., we succeeded to the throne, we were deeply sensible of the sacred nature of our office, and prayed to God to assist us. To deal justly and promote the happiness of the Austrian nation was the end and aim of our government. " The cares and anxieties of government were richly rewarded by the love and gratitude of our people. Even of late, when criminal intrigues succeeded in disturbing legal order in some parts of our empire, we were satis fied to find the majority of our subjects persevere in the loyalty they owed to their Sovereign. Proofs of affec tion, which comforted our anxious soul, were frequently given us from all parts of our empire. " But the pressure of events, and the immediate want of a comprehensive reformation of our forms of State, and which we, in the month of March instant, endea voured to meet and promote, have more and more con vinced us, that more youthful powers are needed to com plete this grand work. " After mature deliberotion, and convinced of the im perative necessity of this step, we have most solemnly resolved to resign the imperial crown of Austria. " Our brother and legitimate successor in the Govern ment, the Lord Archduke Francis Charles, who at all times faithfully assisted us, has declared, and now de clares by these presents, and by signing his name to this proclamation, that he too resigns the Austrian Crown, and that he does so in favour of his son and legi timate successor, the Lord Archduke Francis Joseph. " Thus freeing all servants of the State from their oath of allegiance, we claim their faith and loyalty for their new Sovereign. "We bid a grateful farewell to our brave army. Mindful of their oath, our soldiers were at all times a bulwark against foreign enemies and domestic traitors — a pattern of fidelity and persevering and dauntless courage, the safety of threatened monarchy, the pride and glory of our common country. They will .be equally faithful and devoted to the new Emperor. " In freeing the various people; of our empire of their duties towards us, we herewith solemnly, and before the face of the world, transmit all our duties and rights to our beloved lord and nephew as our legitimate successor, and we recommend our people to the grace and especial protection of God. May Almighty God vouchsafe to restore them to domestic peace, may He guide the misled back to their duties, and enlighten those that are foolish ; may He re•open the dried up fountains of prosperity, and may he bless our country with his richest blessings, enlightening and strengthening our successor, the Emperer Francis Joseph 1., that he may prosper in his solemn and ardu ous vocation, for his own honour, for the glory of our house, and for the welfare of his people. " Given in our Royal residence of 011miits, this day, the 2d December, 1848, and in the 14th year of our reign. "FERDINAND " FRANCIS CHARLES. " SCHWARZENBERG." "WE FRANCIS JOSEPH 1., BY THE GRACE OP GOD EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA, &C., " By the resignation of our beloved uncle, the Em peror and King Ferdinand 1., in Hungary and Bohemia of that name the Bth, and by the resignation of our beloved father, the Lord Archduke Francis Charles, and summoned on the strength of the Pragmatic Sanc tion to assume the Crown of this empire, proclaim hereby solemnly to our people the fact of our ascension to the throne under the name of Francis Joseph the First. " We are convinced of the necessity and the value of free institutions, and enter with confidence on the path of a prosperous reformation of the Monarchy. "On the basis of true liberty, on the basis of the equality of rights of all our peoples, and the equality of all citizens before the law, and on the basis of their equality partaking in the representation and legislation, the country will rise to its ancient grandeur; it will ac quire new strength to resist the storms of the time, it will be a hall to shelter the tribes of many tongues united under the sceptre of our fathers. " Jealous of the glory of the Crown, and resolved to preserve the Monarchy uncurtailed, but ready to share our privileges with the representatives of our people, we hope by the assistance of God and the co operation of our people to succeed is uniting all the countries and tribes of the Monarchy into one integral state. We have had several trials; tranquillity and order have been dis turbed in many parts of the empire. A civil war is even now raging in one part of the Monarchy. Preparations have been made to restore legal order everywhere. The conquest over rebellion and the return of domestic peace are the first conditions to the great work which we now take in band. "IR this we rely confidently on the sensible and undid cooperation of the nation by its representatives. " We rely on the sound sense of the loyal inhabitants of the country, whom the new laws on the abolition of servitude and imposts have admitted to a full enjoyment •f civil rights. " We rely on the loyal servants of the state. " We expect our glorious army will persevere in their ancient fidelity and bravery. They will continue to be a pillar of the throne, and a bulwark to the country and its free institutions. " We shall be happy to reward merit, without any distinction of birth or station. " People of Austria ! It is an awful time in which we mount on the throne of our fathers. Great are the duties of our once, great its responsibility. May God protect us. " FRANCIS JOSEPH.

According to the state ment of the ferryman, Charles Ireland, there were upwards of twenty-five persons in the boat besides himself—consisting of men, women, and children, the latter from twelve to fourteen years of age. As the boat was very full, and the tide running strong at the time, the boatmen desired them all to be as quiet as possible, as danger might be the consequence. There was a vessel moored near the spot, which turned the cur rent of the river, and just as they pushed off, and when they had got a few yards across the river, the current, j of national glory. It is a respectable error, but you who do not share in it must not deceive the people by giving destructive votes. In voting for the honest and moderate republic represented by General Cavaig nac, you will not perjure yourselves ; for the Republic resembles in nothing the monarchical cheat which fell into dust and contempt at the first breath of popular justice. As to me, I de clare solemnly that I desire the triumph of my cause only by legal and honest means. The Count de Cham bord said to me a few years ago, in London, when I went to him to present the homage of my fidelity (which you know gained for us the honour of afietrissure): 'I will only accept the crown of my ancestors when th e . entire country shall have placed it on my head. I will not profit by its divisions to obtain it by trickery (rs cainoter); above all, I will never owe it to foreign aid.' The pure blood of Saint Louis and Henry IV. can never violate its word; from the moment at which I should do so, it would no longer reckon me as one of the number of its servants. I con j ure you, also, my friends, not to abstain from voting, for this would not only be an unpardonable fault, it would be wanting in duty to the country to which you owe all, and which relies upon you. Do not suffer your selves to listen to scruples which, though no d ou b t honest, are unintelligible. This would be to throw the game into the hands of your enemies, causing them the greatest exultation, forit would facilitate their triumph. The country would be the first victim. Observe whether they are so scrupulous in their conduct. Prince Louis, whom they dragged through the mire be cause at one time, in the name of a grand souvenir, he endeavoured to overthrow a bastard G overnment to w hich they put up incense because they were paid for it, has suddenly become in their eye s a great man, a hero , because he may serve as a n i nstrument of their destruc tive projects. No! Do not abstain from voting!" which was impeded by the vessel, caught the stern of the boat in which they were seated. The boat im mediately heaved aside, and a simultaneous move ment was immediately made to the other end, and all crowded together in one corner. The boat, as mi g ht be expected, immediately capsized, and every soul was precipitated into the stream. The shrieks and cries of the unfortunate people were heartrending, and brought several persons who were near the spot to their assistance ; but it being dark at the time very little help could be extended to them. Eight of the individuals only were saved out of the 26 who were in the boat. The rest endea voured to save themselves by clinging to the boat or anything that might be within reach, but were almost immediately carried down the river by the tide, and were no more seen. The boatman managed to reach the shore with the greatest difficulty, and was saved, but he is now in a very dangerous state. The others who were saved were all more or l ess i n j ure d b y com ingin contact with the vessels, stones, and pieces of timber that were in the river. Immediately after the occurrence no time was lost in getting boats out with grappling irons in various parts of theriver wher e was likely the current would carry the bodies, every possible exertion was made to drag them up. About half-past seven o'clock the first body was found near Mr. Harrison's timber-yard, on the garrison side, and was shortly afterwards identified as the body of Jane Moore, a married woman residing on the Sutton-bank. About eight o'clock the bodies of two other women were found near Mr. Gibson's ship yard in the Groves, named Catherine Dunn, 20 years of age, residing in the Groves, and Mary Dunn, 21 years of age, of 12, Hood-street. Three other bodies were afterwards dragged up near the same spot, named Eliza Williamson, of Sutton-bank ; William Smith, of Hood-street; and Hannah Bink, 16 years of age, also residing on the Suttoa-bank. On in quiries being made at the Kingston Cotton-mills it appears that the following are the names of those who are missing :—William Smith, Elizabeth Jack son, Catherine Dunn, Mary Dunn, Maria Dunn, Maria Clark, Edward Spider, Emma Place, Sarah Wood, Hannah Bure, Mary Pye, Elizabeth William son, Jane Moore, and Ann Moore. MR. COBDEN. (From the Liverpool Mercury of this day.) During the last few days, the Hon. Member for the West Riding has been visiting his friends in this county, and has been the guest, among others in the district, of Mr. James4Mellor, of this town. It being known that Mr. Cobden was contemplating some measures of public economy, such as a reduction in the estimates, and a re peal of many duties injurious to agriculture and com • merce, the Financial Reform Association requested a conference with him, which took place yesterday, at the usual meeting of the council of that body. In the course of a very interesting interview, which lasted an hour and a half, the Honourable Gentleman stated his opinions on many points of financial policy, and also heard those of the association, to whose labours, and to whose extensive effect on the public mind in the short time which had elapsed since those labours were commenced, he bore most willing and most encouraging testimony. It is understood that Mr. Cobden will make a public communication to the chairman of the Council in a few days. and the quantity sold is only 80 hhds, at 2s to 2s 2d for 33 to 38 over proof.

Wheat 403 to 475; barley 26s to 30s; oats les to 19s; beans 35s to 40s per qr. SPALDING, DEC. s.—This day's market was badly supplied with dry wheats ; indeed of all kinds there were few samples, the time of year considered. Sales generally were not pressed by the farmers; consequently the millers, contrary to their expectation, were obliged to give the full prices of the previous market, and in some instances a little advance ; say for 17ist. red Wheat 42s to 44s ; 18st, 44s to 46s ; 17ist white 44s to 465 ; 18st, 45s to 48s.

NEWARK, DEC. 6.—The decision of the new Corn Exchange proprietors as to closing the doors for business on fair-days (except falling on a Wednesday) made this day's market large. The supply of Wheat consisted principally of qualities out of condition, which were re luctantly taken at a decline of is to 2s per quarter; fiat quality is dearer. Fine malting barleys were in limited supply, and commanded 6d per quarter advance; second qualities is cheaper; which also applies to grinding bar. ley. Oats, beans, and peas had a downward tendency, and little was doing in them. The quotations below were the ruling prices of the day :—Wheat, new white, 50s to 525, red 49s to 50s; barley, malting 32s to 32s Gd, grinding 28s to 295; old beans, 43s to 44s • peas, white 42s to 465, blue 50 s t o 56 s p er quarter.

At Grangemouth, about 1,002 quar ters of wheat and 130 quarters of beans ;, and peas reached from foreign ports. Business during the past week continued dull and lifeless; part of the late Cana dian arrivals b e i ng p resse d on t e market at 24s to 24s 6d per 2401 b for wheat, and 28s to 28s 6d per barrel for flour, in retail even, caused the trade to operate with still greater reluctance than heretofore. This day's market was thinly attended, and the sales effected were of little importance. Wheat and flour have to be written 6d lower per boll or barrel. Barley nominally unaltered, the stock, both of malting or grinding descriptions, being light, but neither kind a ready sale. Oats and oatmeal in slow demand, and the turn in favour of buyers. Beans - - and peas in moderate request at last week's prices. I adia corn and meal neglected.

Yesterday, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the visitors more than doubled the numbers of the previous day.

His Royal Highness arrived at the bazaar at one o'clock, and was received by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, the pre sident; Mr. Gibbs, the secretary; Mr. Kendall, and other members of the club committee; and by Mr. Boul nois, the proprietor of the bazaar; and was by those gentlemen accompanied through the exhibition. His Royal Highness paid particular attention to the Here ford ox belonging to Prince Albert. His Royal High ness next proceeded to view the stupendous picture painted by Mr. James Ward, R.A., of the "Alderney Bull, Cow, and Calf," executed in competition with the " Bull" of Paul Potter, at the Hague.

P. Joddrell, the Earl of Verulam, Sir Thomas Leonard, Colonel Sibthorp, &c. During the evening the electric light was exhibited by Messrs.

The experiment was so successful that it is understood that during this day and to-morrow it will be used in lieu of gas. It is 'aid that there could not hare been less than yorn 20,000 to 30,000 visitors during the day. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS BRISTOL, DEC. 7.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 8.) SUGAR.—Today West India Sugar was dealt in with more readiness, still holders were compelled to accept former rates.

This morning, Amos Armitage, aged 32, weaver ; James Brown, 24, weaver; Isaac Cheetham, 35, coal dealer; James Hall, 25, railway plate layer ; Jonathan Hindle, 35, weaver ; John Ralph, 36, machine-maker ; James Shore, 28, machine-maker ; J. Shaweross, 32 ; Joseph Doane, 40, labourer ; Peter Collier, 37, collier ; Robert Markland, 30, nail-maker; Peter Mattocks, 28, weaver; Thomas Schofield, 34, shoemaker ; Samuel Shaw, 17, tailor ; Isaiah Cheetharn, 23, cotton-spinner; Edward Wilde (out on bail), and Charles Sellars, 35, bobbin-turner, were charged with having at Hyde, on the 14th of August last, unlawfully and seditiously con spired to levy insurrections, riots, and tumults, and to overthrow the Government of the country as by law es tablished, and to carry out their p'ans obtained large quantities of arms, ammunition, and other weapons, and did riotously assemble, being so armed with guns, pis tols, and pikes, and committed several breaches of the peace. The Attorney- General, Mr. Wclsby, and Mr. David son conducted the prosecution; and the prisoners were defended by Mr. Temple and Mr. Townshend. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proceeded to state the case on behalf of the Crown. The prisoners were guilty, on the 14th of August last, of a conspiracy to obstruct the Go vernment of the realm, and also that they were guilty of a riot. He should be able to show the jury that there parties had been in the habit of drilling in the neigh bourhood of Hyde for some time, and that on the 11th of August 500 or 600 men were drilled, and went through military exercise. Being prepared by some previous organization and secret communications, a general rising was fixed for the 14th of August, and on the morning of that day several thousand persons turned out armed with guns and pikes in the neighbourhood of Hyde, and by public processions and riots overawed the inhabi tants. They stopped persons in the streets and searched them for arms, and went round the town to the va rious mills, where they put out the fires and drew off the water, expecting, no doubt, that those employed at those mills, being thus thrown out of work, would join them in the attack they were making on the per sons and property in the neighbourhood. The work people, however, did not do so, and, to their credit he said it, that out of eighteen who were included in the present indictment only seven were cotton spinners, and the rest were tailors and colliers. Had these con spirators been uninterrupted their object was to have marched upon Ashton and ransacked the barracks. The time chosen for these designs being carried out was at that period in August when they knew that the police were, to a great extent, engaged at the assizes, and when the magistrates were also absent upon the same errand. If the gentry and the trading classes had not promptly enrolled themselves as special constables the conse quences might have been most disastrous. It was under these circumstances that the case came before them, and he thought he should be able to establish both the con spiracy and the riot, and the only question then left would be that of identity, of which there would be little doubt. He should call a person who was present amongst them, himself a Chartist, and he would tell them that all the prisoners were present. Tho Learned Gentleman then called Daniel Lee, a cotton-spinner at Hyde, who said that, about five weeks before the 14th of August last, he was a member of the Chartist body at Hyde. Meetings were held in the Land Company's Room, at which about 500 persons were present. After the meetings were over they commenced drilling. Capteins were appoited over every ten or twelve men, and Sellars was the head driller. He had been a soldier in the army. Witness had seen him drilling in the room several times. He had told them that they could do nothing with the military in short nights; they must wait for long nights and short days. He said this because a portion of them wished to attack the army at once. On Saturday, the 12th of August, he went to Godley-hill, and found several hundred people practising drilling. They were moving in companies, and lines, and squares. Sellars was then showing them bow to step. They had pikes, guns, and pistols. Mark land told them they must get pikes. Ile was a captain over seven men. On Monday night, about twelve o'clock, I heard a noise at my door at home, and, on looking, Samuel Shaw was at the door with a gun on his shoulder, and Markiand with a sharp pike, about On feet long, shaft and blade. They told me to come out, for there was to be a row that night. Witness went with them. H e was o bli ged to go, for ho was charged with being a Government spy. There were twenty others close by with guns and pikes. They put him in front, and they then went in procession to a field op- Ammwi p 7n o eeeab s nernro i eact t u e hcoftwhu: cafirh r t oo . n: n attd T ethhpe h teeanh o pne s ayfiy. companies layw field. edf w nrsh a otdue r myr cl fi enir' said mpa h n eroigordoou:dttsehh:ess:e, armed.ri in hoemna I luittlsl y eo: d iit e waji ti-tneaolyoldamluontageide calleds attention y T clqloaiu h iuli tilr e i gcehlt r dkylhe e . out " Halt," and told fifteen of them to go to the lodge door of the mill. If the watch man came out they must rush in, and if the dog came out they must shoot him. Samuel Shaw was ono of the fifteen men. He had a gun. Isaac Cheetham was another of the fifteen men. Hough told them to break into the smithies when they got to the mill, and get the hammers and working tools that would be useful. Another party went to the back aide of the mill and let the boilers off there. Four of the men got on the top of the walls, each with a pistol. They got over the wall and broke the gates opon. The watchman was en the other side. A gun went off, and How came out and asked them if they had shot the watchman, and Shaw said no, but he had shot at the dog. James Hall was at the back side of the factory. Though asked why he had stayed at Denton Wake's so long and not brought his tackle. He said he could not come sooner. Howl!' gave him a pistol and told him it was charged. From Woodly they went to Houghton Dale factory, about a mile and a half distant. They let the boilers off there by pulling out the plugs. On going through a narrow wood to Apethorn Mill, they saw Joseph Shawcross with an axe cutting down a tree. Hough came up to him and asked him if his pike was broken? Shawcross said, " Yes." Shaw cross said, " Don't say anything of it; there's ono of Brown's spies here." They then went to Apethorn Mill and let the boilers off there. Peter Collier threatened to run his pike into witness if he did not go along with them. Doane came up to witness and said he must go with them, for they had threatened to destroy him. Six men then came up to him with pikes, and said he must go up to the party. He went up. They then came away and went to the Gibraltar Mill. They could riot let the boilers off there. They broke the doors open. Hough told them to break into the smi hies and take all the tools they could get hold of. The witness then stated the further proceedings of the prisoners and others on the 14th, and afterwards swore to the identity of many of them. Cross-examined by Mr. TEMPLE—Have attended several Chartist meetings. I spoke once in August, and was put out of the room for it. Did not prick Markland with a pike on the 16th of July. I never said I was ready, and would stick some of the bloody tyrants. Since the 14th of August I have been living with a person for whom I have worked. Mr. TEMPLE—Where?—(The witness hesitated to an , swer the question.) Mr. TEMPLE—There can be no difficulty in answer. ing the question, surely. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I may at once say that the witness has been in the custody of a certain apecia, high constable, whoso name I do not wish to have dis. closed. Mr. TEMPLE—Oh, I don't wish anything revealed to which the Attorney-General has such an objection. By Mr. TOWNSLIEND—When charged by the men with being a traitor I always told then] I was not. I was in the habit of communicating to the policeman Brown all I knew. The JUDGE—It is not likely he would tell the mob he was a traitor. Like your clients, he pleads not guilty to the charge. You may call it a lie, if you like; I don't call it a lie. By Mr. TOWNSHEND—I never received any money from Brown. I did not see a man named Fanell on the night of the 14th of August, and ask him to join the mob, saying, " The blow is going to be struck to-night in all the capital towns i❑ England." Did not say to him that " the Government are going to hang all the State prisoners, but we'll prevent them." Thomas Brown, police-officer at Hyde, John Ogden, watchman, and several other witnesses were called, who spoke to having seen the prisoners armed, and parading the town as descrbed by the first witness. This closed the case on the part of the Crown. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL consented to a verdict of acquittal being taken in the case of Doane. He did not think the evidence warranted a conviction, Mr. TEMPLE then rose to address the jury on behalf of several of the prisoners, and was proceeding when our report was dispatched.
