TWENTY T EIOUSAND SAILORS I I 0 I never did Thames en his waters unfold A eight se imposing —a movement so bold. Twenty thousand bold mariners—ocean's best gems— Assembled en mass* en the breast of the Thames. 'Twas astounding to witness the boats and the steamers, The " bonnie blue jackets," the colours and streamers. This aquatic procession would cast in the shade The sights of (neon Bess with her best cavalcade. The scene on the Thames was a scene tnat must cuuia ♦ thrill from the heart, be it ever so tame. And hundreds of thousands of different ranks, Throng'd Thames's broad bridges and mercantile banks. The spectacle seen was *Dennehy one To bring to the mind Messrs. MOSES and SON, As the newly-clad seamen appeared fore and aft, A moving assemblage in hundreds of craft. The smiling spectator must surely have thought, Of the outfits of MOSES, so skilfully wrought. 3tviry day at the warehouse of MOSES we view, The sons of the ocean in " Jackets of blue," And finding how MOSES and SON can equip, They neer feel inclined to " foresake the old ship." The scene on the shore was essentially one To remind the observer of MOSES and SON, Ito* ladies and gentlemen show'd In their dress, A beauty to rival the days of Queen Bess a And never did Thames on his waters unfold A sight so imposing—a movement so bold.

This state of things was likely to continue as long as the war continued. Stocks were rapidly depre ciating in value. The Government could not get money from abroad, because other nations had no money to spare, and, if they had, they would have no sympathy in this war, and would not aid in its prosecution by advancing money for that purpose. In every point of view in which the subject presented itself, he could only see an embarrassed Treasury and ad istressed community. Our accounts from Mexico are of a more satisfac ory nature. The New York Herald says " We have special news of a treaty of peace with Mexico. That a treaty has been made by Mr. Trist, in spite of his recal, in conjunction with General Scott, in spite of his suspension, we have positive in telligence of. This treaty has not yet been received at Washington, but is expected by the next arrival from Vera Cruz. The terms, however, are known in Washington, and they are disapproved by the Cabinet. We don't know positively what Mr. Polk thinks of it ; but he may offer it to the Senate. It is supposed that General Scott and Mr. Trist have made the treaty on their own hook, without regard or in oppo sition to the Executive." It was rumoured that Ilerrera had been elected President, and that an armistice for three months had been agreed upon. The following are the terms offered by the United States in the last unsuccessful negotiation : " Ist. The Rio Grande, from the Gulf to the in tersection with the southern boundary ofNew Mexico, in about latitude 32. " 2d. The cession of the provinces of New Mexico and tine Californias ; and " Bd. The right of way across- the isthmus of Tehuantepec. " The first two points were considered as a sine qua non, upon compliance with which the American negotiator was authorised to stipulate for the re storation to Mexico of all otaer conquests; and, further, for the payment of sucl additional pecuniary consideration over and above tie amount of claims upon Mexico as might be deem4d reasonable." It is reported in the Mexican papers that Santa Anna had embarked at Acapulco for the port of San Bias. General Scott had issued an order, assessing upon the states of Mexico occupied V the United States' troops an annual tax amounting to about 3,000,000 dollars. General Scott has been suspended. A court of inquiry has been ordered for the purpose of investi gating the recent difficulties in the army. A train, under the command of Colonel Miles, had been attacked and plundered by a guerilla party. The loss of goods falls principally on the merchants, one English house losing 54,000 dollars. The French and Spanish merchants recovered their goods by pay ing smartly. The portion of the train cut off had incautiously lagged behind. Colonel Miles could not wait for them to come up, but left a guard of 25 men behind, which was totally inadequate against the sud den onset of 400 guerilleros. From Canada we learn that the elections had taken place, and that the Radical party had gained the majority. In the city of Montreal formidable riots had taken place, and the mob held possession of the place for two days. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NE ►V YORK, JAR. 99. The state of the money market has been and continues to be deranged by the presence and competition of the United States' Government as a borrower. The Trea sury notes and past loans have absorbed many millions of capital usually available for commercial wants, and the new loan hanging over the market for 15,500,000 operates to the disadvantage of business. Money has been and continues very scarce. The banks, alarmed by the drain of coin for the Sub-Treasury —now, how ever, stopped by the fall of Treasury notes which are available for dues to the Government, and by the foreign exportation of it, which has been steady, though not very large for the last two months—have materially con• tracted their issues, and are very cautious still in their discounts. There has been no failure, however, of any moment, and the soundness of Ole business community has been tested by the severity of the pressure.

This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. By the Royal Mail steamship Cambria, Captain Harrison, we have advices from New York to the 29th ult., and Halifax to the Ist inst. The Cambria has brought 10,0001. in specie on freight. The steam-ship Acadia had arrived out. The Royal Mail steamship Thames arrived at Ship Island, New Orleans, on the lath ult., from Havannah. The steamer Yallabusha, with a heavy cargo of cotton, bound for New Orleans, was entirely de stroyed by fire on the 18th ult., and 40 persons are supposed to have perished with her. A great fire, consuming several warehouses, took place at Havannah on the night of the 13th ult. A Whig " caucus," held at Washington on the 29th, had determined to recommend a national con vention for the nomination of President and Vice- President. Congress is still in full deliberation upon the measures for continuing the war with Mexico. The Bill asking for the ten new regiments is still in the Senate. The Treasury would very soon need replenishing. According to the estimates of the Secretary 18,000,000 dolls. would be needed before the 30th of June next. Accordingly, a Bill has been reported in the I-louse of Representatives, authorising a loan to that amount, limiting the interest to 6 per cent. for a stock having 20 years to run, and which must not be sold under par. In Congress on the 20th Mr. Mangum submitted resolutions calling for the instructions under which General Scott's " order," No. 379, was issued, and also his opinion as to the efficiency of his means to carry the same into effect. The resolutions led to a sharp debate between Messrs. Mangum, Cass, Crit tenden, and Allen. Mr. Mangum stated that he had two objects in presenting these resolutions. First, to know the extent of the Executive purpose on the subject of the conquest of Mexico ; secondly, to ascertain the opinions of the highest military authority as to the means of carrying out this pur pose. He expressed his surprise at the tenderness of gentlemen on the other side whenever infor mation was sought for. Mr. Cass said he was not tender of the Executive, but of the honour of the country. He did not wish to enlighten the Mexi cans. Desirous as he was to give every information to Congress, he hoped the President would come out fully and plainly and say.it was his design to conquer the whole of Mexico ; but as to holding Mexico, that was a different question. Mr. Crittenden replied in a tone of strongssas ! casm on the subject of the Execu tive withholding light frotn-Congresa, lest the enemy should be benefited by it. All that was here asked for was only information necessary to enable the Senate to form a correct judgment 44 matters sub mitted to it for legislation. The resolution was then modified by Mr. Mangum, so as to leave it discretionary with the President to omit any disclosure which in his opinion would be detrimental to the public interests, and in this form it was agreed to. The House then proceeded to the consideration of the Ten Regiments Bill. Mr. Foote examined the proposition of Mr. Calhoun, and contended that the tendency of their policy was to re-nationalise Mexico, and showed that his (Mr. Calhoun's) predictions, made at the last session of Congress, in regard to the practicability of taking Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico, had not been verified. Mr. Calhoun ex plained, and said that in an interview sought by the Executive he had expressed the opinion that if Juan Vera Cruz and the Castle of San d'Ulloa were attacked and our forces defeated, the inevitable con sequence must be our withdrawal to a defensive line. Mr. Foote continued—after reviewing Mr. Calhoun's speech he had laid down his own plan, which was to annex Mexico by provinces, and admit her to the benefits of the American territorial system. He would establish depots at the principal kuarS• and export and trial by jury. He looked forward to a long series of years of prosperity if they adopted this course. He trusted that supplies would be voted, for, if they did nut avail themselves of their present power to subdue Mexico, but were content with a defensive line, they might ultimately find themselves engaged in a double war, with Mexico and Great Britain. Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, insisted that the Nueces, and not the Rio Grande, was the true line of boundary between the United States and Mexico. He asserted that General Taylor had never advised the march of the army to the Rio Grande, except hypothetically. The President was determined to make war, and had deceived the peo ple. He had given General Taylor orders to march the army beyond the Nueces ten days before he knew of Slidell's rejection by the .Mexican Government ; and the President knew that Mr. Slidell would be rejected before he sent him to Mexico. Mr. Thomp son was eloquent and severe in his denunciations of the Government, and Mr. Rhett followed, and replied ' to the constitutional argument that had been brought forward as to the distinction between the war-ineking and war-declaring power of the Government. Con gress could only declare war, whereas the waging of war could only be by the action of the Executive. On the 24th Mr. Baldwin's resolutions, calling on the President for informati6n as to the existence of any public domain in Mexico, and the power of the Mexican Government to cede any portion of the same to a foreign Government, were taken up. Mr. Hannegan requested explanation as to the object of the resolutions. Mr. Baldwin explained, that the President having informed Congress, in his annual message, that the republic of Mexico had no other means of indemnifying the United States than by the cession of her territory, the object of the resolutions was to ascertain the grounds on which the President founded the expectation of obtaining Mexican terri tory as indemnity. Mr. Hannegan maintained, that as Mexico was not a republic, but nothing more nor less than an anarchy, the United States had a right to take by cession any portion of her territory. Whether Mexico had the power to cede was not the question for them, but her, to decide. As to their own prat • tice, they had asserted that the disputed north-eastern boundary belonged to them. Yet they ceded away a part. The Executive had decided that the whole of Oregon was theirs, and yet they had given up two thirds. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the Army Bill. Mr. Clark spoke in opposition to the Bill, and denounced the origin and progress of the war. Ile calculated that by the passage of this Bill the army in Mexico would be increased to 95.000 men. He wished to know how this force was to be em ployed, and in what manner the Committee of Ways and Means proposed they should ha provided for. He believed that if the Bills now before the Senate were passed, they would require a loan of 40,000,000 of dollars for the present war, which could not be nego tiated on better terras than 90 cents on the dollar. The abstraction of so large an amount of specie from circulation would cause an alarming increase in the price of breadstuffs, and fall heavily on the labouring population of the States. He also objected to the annexation of Mexico, or to the destruction of her nationality, which were the only objects for which the I war could be prosecuted any longer. On the 27th the Ten Regiments Bill was again taken up. Mr. Phelps, having " the floor," went into a calculation to show the effect of the war upon the financial and commercial affairs of the country. He estimated that up to the Ist of July last the Treasury had fallen into arrears from the com mencement of the war 68,000,000 dolls. At the close of the present year this arrear would be in creased to not less than 80,000,000 dolls. He then examined the estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury for future revenues, all of which were too high. Having made deductions from each item in the Secretary's calculations, and having shown how the estimates of expenditure for the next two years might be expected to fall below the actual amounts required, he concluded that the Secre tary had oven estimated the receipts for the next year about 17,000,000 dolls., and under rated the expenditure 22,000,000 dolls. He did not believe that the money asked for could be obtained by loan or Treasury notes. The amount of specie now in the New York banks did not exceed 5,000,000 dolls. The Boston banks held about 4,000,000 dolls. and the Baltimore banks 2,000,000 dolls. It would be impossible for Government to find 20,000,000 dolls. in specie, and nothing else would be received for the proposed loan. The very large investmerei recently made in Government stock, railroads, and manufactories, had absorbed most of the active capital of the country. The money-market was un usually stringent, and specie was leaving the S No FEBRUARY i 4, 1848. 7 67c. to 68c. for good; 64c. to 661-e. for New Orleans; one cargo of very handsome white North Carolina brought 69c. for export.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT AS TO THZ TERRITORIAL ARRANGEMENTS AND PO LITICAL CONDITION OP ITALY, TOGETHER WITH THE Rama OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. No. I—(Translation.) PRINCE METTERNICH TO COUNT DIETEICHSTEIN. (Communicated to Viscount Palmerston by Count Dietrichstein, August 11.) " Vienna, Aug. 2, 1847. " M. Le Comte—The position of the central states of Italy engages, doubtlessly, the attention of the Court of London. These states are agitated at this moment by a spirit of subversion, the consequences of which are but too easy to foresee. The geographical position of our empire imposes upon us the duty to regard, with redoubled attention, the course of events in that country. " The Emperor wishes to explain his sentiments on this occasion with the frankness with which he has been accustomed to address the Government of Great Britain, and desires to know the determination of that Government on the state of things which his Imperial Majesty considers a proper basis for the future. "Italy is a geographical e x p ress i on . The Italian Peninsula is composed of sovere i gn s t a t es , m utually independent. The existence and the territorial limits of these states are founded upon principles of general right, and guaranteed by political acts of undoubted authority. The Emperor, for his part, is resolved to respect those rights, and to contribute all in his power to their maintenance. " You will communicate, M. Le Comte, this dispatch to the Chief Secretary of State, and beg of him to explain the views of the Court of London respecting the nature of those guarantees under which the possessions of the sovereigns who reign in Italy are placed. You will at the same time add, that the Emperor does not doubt of the complete accord which must exist in his opinions and those of her Britannic Majesty on this subject.—Receive the assurances, &c., (Signed) " METTERNICH." " Vienna, Aug. it, 1847. "M. Le Comte The preceding dispatch is directed at the same time to the Courts of Paris, of Berlin, and of St. Petersburgh. The subject is not _interesting to our empire alone. It has the importance of a great European question. " Central Italy is delivered up to a revolutionary movement, at the head of which are to be found the chiefs of those political sects which have for some years threatened the states of the Peninsula. Under the banner of administrative reform, to which the Roman Sovereign has yielded through undoubted benevolence towards his people, the factious have paralysed the steady action of power, and seek to con summate a work which cannot, to suit their views, be confined within the States of the Church, nor to any part of the Peninsula. These sects require a single political head, or at least a fedeaation of states placed under the control of a central supreme power. An Italian monarchy does not enter into their plans. An abstraction of Utopian Radicalism is the advance which they contemplate. No possible king of such a monarchy exists on either side of the Alps. It is towards the creation of a federative republic, after the model of North America or of Switzerland, that their hopes are led. " The Emperor, our august master, does not pre tend to be an Italian power. He contents himself with being the chief of his own empire. Some parts of his empire extend beyond the Alps. He desires to maintain them. Beyond them he demands no actual possession ; he but wishes to defend his own. Such, M. l'Ambassadeur, are the views of his Impe rial Majesty ; they ought to be the views of any Go vernment that wishes to maintain its rights and res pect its duties. " We place a great question of the day on the broadest political basis. We wish to know if the great guardians of political peace partake our views. We pretend to no social or governmental polemics ; but we speak of that which is equally valuable to kings and to people, and which must before long decide the peace of Europe. The subject is too grave not to render necessary an appeal to all Go vernments that are not willing to entrust the future to the incalculable chances of general disturbance. " Receive, &c. (Signed), " METTERNICH." VISCOUNT PLLMEISTON TO VISCOUNT PONSONBT. " My Lord,—Count Dietrichstein read to me yes terday two dispatches addressed to him by Prince _rue - arm - of tnese aispatchee expresses the wish of the Austrian Government to know whether her Majesty's Government admit the principle that the state of possession established in Italy by the Treaty of Vienna ought to be maintained ; and it also declares the determination of the Emperor of Austria to defend his Italian territories against any attack. The second dispatch relates to a scheme which the Cabinet of Vienna supposes to be entertained by some parties in Italy, to unite the greater part of Italy in one federal republic ; and the dispatch at the same time explains reasons—social, political, and geographical—which, in the opinion of the Austrian Government, must render such a scheme impracticable. " I have now to instruct your Excellency, in reply to the inquiry contained in the first of the above mentioned dispatches, to assure Prince Metternich that her Majesty's Government are of opinion that the stipulations and engagements of the Treaty of Vienna ought to be adhered to in Italy, as well as in all other parts of Europe to which they apply ; and that no change can properly be made in the territo rial arrangements which were established by that treaty without the consent and concurrence of all the Powers who were parties to it. This opinion her Majesty's Government hare had occasion not long ago to express to the Cabinet of Vienna, and this opinion her Majesty's Government still entertain. " But her Majesty's Government are glad to think that it does not at present appear to be likely that any events will happen in Italy to which the principle in volved in that opinion would practically apply ; for her Majesty's Government are not aware that any European power or state meditates any attack upon, or invasion of the territories of any Italian state ; and therefore her Majesty's Government, fully sharing that legitimate sense of the right of possession which leads the Government of Austria to declare its de termination to defend the Emperor's Italian posses sions, yet hope and trust that no event is at present impending which would render it necessary that this determination should be carried into practical exe cution. With reference, however, to the posture of things in Italy, her Majesty's Government would wish to observe that there is another right besides that of self-defence and self-maintenance, which is inherent in independent sovereignty, and that is the right which belongs to the sovereign power in every state to make such reforms and internal improvements as may be judged by such sovereign power proper to be made, and conducive to the well-being of the people whom it governs. " That right it appears that some of the sovereigns of Italy are now willing and prepared to exercise, and her Majesty's Government would hope that the Government of Austria may think fit to employ that great political influence which Austria legiti mately possesses in Italy with a view to encourage and support those sovereigns in such laudable under takings. " Her Majesty's Goverment have received no in formation as to the existence of any such scheme as that which Prince Metternich mentions in his second dispatch as being planned for the purpose of uniting the now separate states of Italy into one federal re public; and her Majesty's Government entirely agree with his Highness in thinking, for the reasons which he assigns, that such a scheme could not be accom plished. But, on the other hand,, her Majesty's Govern ment have been convinced, by information which has reached them from a great variety of quarters, that deep, w idely-spread, and well-founded discontent exists in a large portion of Italy ; and when it is considered bow full of defects, and how teeming with abuses of all kinds, the present system of government of those states. and more especially in the Roman s t a tes and i n the kingdom of Nnples, are known to be, it cannot be surprising that such crying evils should generate the strongest discontent; and it is very pos sible that men who feel the fall intensity of the grievances under which they nov r are, and have for a long series of years been sufferir ig , and who see no hope of redress from their prase nt rulers, should take up any scheme, however wild, from which they may fancy they could derive a chair( e 3 of relief. " This observation does not i i ndeed apply with full force to the Roman states, bee AUS6 the present Pope has shown a desire to adopt many of those much needed reforms and improv' ements which in 1832, Austria, in conjunction witl i Great Britain, France, Russia, and Prussia, urgent ly advised the late Pope to carry into execution ; and it may be hoped that if the Pope is encouraged and itssisted by Austria and. the other four powers in rem oving the grievances .ot which his subjects have lot ig coirsplained, the dis content which those grievano es hay a created will soon die away. " But there are other states c,f Italy, and more especially the kingdom of Naples , where reforms and improvements are required almo' i t as , much as in the Roman te rr itory; and her A t pajeaty s Government THE CONVICT PARKER. The following letter appears in the Sunday papers. It is said to be from the wretched woman who now lies under sentence of death for the murder of the two children of Robert Blake, to whom it is ad dressed : " Dear Robert,—This is the last time you will ever receive advice from me. My days are numbered; this day fortnight I shall be silent in the grave. Take, therefore these few lines into consideration; never again trifle with a woman as you have with me.

God in mercy forgive us 1 I freely forgive you all your wrongs to me. I have prayed that He will fit you for the heavy trial I have brought upon you ; and, oh, may we yet meat in that land in which sorrow and misery will flee away ! I only ask that you will some times shed the tear of pity and forgiveness over my unfortunate lot. You may yet be happy in this world with Esther. Your innocent children are, I trust, in Heaven. This is to me great comfort, and I pray that it may be to you. Awful as my fate is, I would rather die than live again the wretched life I have done for the last twelve months. Be assured, Robert, and remember that those who break the sacred tie pledged at the altar of God will never prosper; more than one within these walls can testify to the truth of this by bitter expe rience. It has brought us to misery, shame, and sorrow. The heart of man can hardly pity us: only one shed a tear of sorrow on my misery at my trial—that was Mrs. Moore. I wish you to pay some little debts for me. I shall die much happier if you will. I owe the milk woman eightpence.

MARTLEBONE VESTET.—On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone Vestry (the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair), Mr. Flood, the vestry-clerk, brought up the report fr Dm the Committees of Delegates appointed to wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer with respect to a repeal of the window duties. The details of the deputation heave already appeared in our columns. Mr. Joseph, in moving the adoption of the report, said he was anythini g but satisfied with the tone exhibited by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as leading to a belief that the Go , rernment would abolish the window duties. Mr. 11. C. Wilson seconded the motion, but must say that he entirely differed from his friend Mr. Joseph as to the probal oility of the Government removing the tax. He considered that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was evidently aware that he could not defend the continuance of the tax, and he believed that the Goven invent were most anxious to reduce the burthens of the people if possible.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution I% 'Bs adopted and entered on the minutes. The vestry-c lerk read a communication from Mr. George Daniell, stati ing that in consequence of the persecution and intimida' ion, not to say personal insults, he had to encounter ou t of doors, consequent on his determination to give free r ixpression to his opinion as a member of the vestry, he be gged to tender his resignation as a member of that board and as a commissioner of public baths and washhouses. Mr. H. C. Wilson expressed his very great regret that Mr. Daniell should have come to such a de termination. The vestry could ill afford to lose the truly valuable sore ices of that gentleman. He most reluctantly moved that the resignation be accepted. Mr. Potter ' suggested thi it the reception of such a resolution should be postponed!, in order to afford an opportunity for the friends of Mi r. Daniell to induce him to relinquish a determination which would be fraught with so much injury to th ti parish. Mr. Charles Elliott (deputy lieu tenant of the county) hoped that they would not accept this resignatiion, as the loss of Mr. Dauiell's services would be ase rious calamity to the parish. Sir James Hamilton concurred with the last speaker. The recep tion of the resignation was then deferred till Saturday next. THE AvietOEIL—COUET•hIARTILL ON LIEUTENANT ROOKE.—A court-martial assembled on the 31st of January on board the Trafalgar, to try Lieut. Rooke and the sure ivors of the Avenger for the loss of that ship on the 3 orelle rocks, off Galita, on the night of the 20th of De( iienber, 1847. The court lasted two days. The prisone t s were honourably acquitted, and Lieu tenant Rook s was highly complimented by the court for his skill and , gallantry in reaching the shore in a small boat, and sa ring even four lives. A question was put to Lieutenan i Rooke, " Whether the Avenger had any Moditerranei in charts on board?" He replied "He did not know!" ,It is a well known fact that, although the charts are • public property, and intended for the use of all the offict ire of the ships of war, yet in many vessels no persons belt the Captain and master over tee them; thus the vet mei is left to the infallibility of two indivi duals, and r,a eets with some catastrophe, which, had the charts been. open for the use of the lieutenants, mates, and second masters, would probably have been avoided.

Your Excellency will read this dispatch to Prince Metternich, and will give his Highness a copy of it.—l am, &c., (Signed) " PALMERSTON." " Foreign-office, Sept. 11, 1847. " My Lord,—The Cabinet ofFienna having recently addressed a commun i cat i on to t h e C a bi net of L ondon, for the purpose of ascertaining the sentiments and opinions of the British Government upon the present state of affairs in Italy, to which communication her Majesty's Government made, through your Excel lency, a reply, her Majesty's Government are con vinced that the Government of Austria will receive in the same friendly spirit in which it is conceived the further communication which your Excellency is by this dispatch instructed to make to his Highness the Prince Metternich in regard to these affairs. But indeed the ancient alliance and long-established con fidence which unite the Governments of Great Britain and Austria would at all events render it the duty of her Majesty's Government to explain frankly and without reserve, to the Austrian Government, the views and sentiments of the Government of Great Britain upon events which are either happening or likely to happen in Italy, and which, by their bearing and importance, must necessarily be of great Euro pean interest. " The Austrian Government has recently asked, and has received the assent of the Government of Great Britain to the principle, that the several states into which Italy is divided are entitled to maintain and defend their independence ; and that this inde mit to be respected, and to be held inviolate r illi yrtre other powers of Europe ; and her Majesty's Government, in expressing their assent to this indis putable proposition, coupled with it another which they conceive to be equa lly undeniable, that every indepen dent Sovereign has a right to make, within his own dominions, such reforms and improvements as he may judge conducive to the welfare of the people whom he governs ; and that no other Government can be entitled to forbid or to restrain such an exercise of one of the proper attributes of independent sove reignty ; and her Majesty's Government are convinced that the Cabinet of Vienna must be ready to acknow ledge so plain a political truth. 'Whatever reports, therefore, may have reached her Majesty's Govern ment u to late transactions and recent diplomatic communications in Italy, they are persuaded that the Government of Austria cannot contemplate or have authorised any proceedings at variance with the prin ciples above mentioned ; and that neither with regard to the King of Sardinia, nor with regard to the Pope, can the Austrian Government have any intention of converting any measures of internal legislation or administrative reform which those Sovereigns may think fit to adopt in their respective dominions, into an occasion for any aggression whatever upon their territories or rights. Her Majesty's Government, indeed, would deeply regret the occurrence of events which it would be impossible for Great Britain to view with indifference. " The Ciowns of Great Britain and of Sardinia have long been bound together by the ties of faithful and intimate alliance ; and Great Britain can never forget or repudiate claims founded upon such honourable grounds. " The integrity of the Roman State may be con sidered as an essential element of the political inde pendence of the Italian peninsula; and no invasion of the territory of that State could take place without leading to consequences of great gravity and import ance.

DEATH OF A LADi NaNOTP-ONII YEARS OF AIM —On Saturday evening, Mr. W. Carter held an inquest at the Swan Tavern, Stockwell, upon the body of lire. Caroline Beton, who had attained the extraordinary age of 91 years. Deceased resided with some of the younger branches of the family, at No. 10, Stockwell-villas. Her advanced period of life kept her confined to her room, which was the second floor back. She was, as might he supposed, exceedingly feeble, but enjoyed tolerably good health. The last time she was seen alive was on Wed nesday afternoon,' when she partook of her dinner in bed, and in half an hour after the servant had waited upon her she was found lying on the stairs in the yard, with her skull frightfully fractured,:her right arm bloke, and quite dead. The window had been opened to venti late the apartment, and it is supposed that the unfortu nate old lady had got out of bed to shut it, and over balancing herself, she met the death described. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

KING ARTHUR.—The leading public, we under blend, must be prepared to meet with some singular coincidences in certain of the principal characters intro duced into this new poem by the author of " The New Timon." Among them a Vandal King and his chief minister, are said to bear an extraordinary resemblance to a neighbouring monarch and his confidential counsel lor, whose political charlatanism has lately attracted the attention of the whole civilised world. Vire should net at all wonder if this were to be quoted as a new case against " Perfide Albion ;" nor be very greatly surprises should it so disturb the entente cordiale as to render the long threatened invasion inevitable.

COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT WEST BROMWICIL—A coroner's inquest was held on Friday at West Bromwich to inquire into the cause of the fatal catastrophe which occurred at this pit. Several witnesses who were in the pit just previous to the explosion considered the ven tilation perfect, and perceived no smell of sulphur. Until some of the men who were down at the time of the accident are sufficiently recovered to give evidence no decided opinion can be given on the subject. There wore two safety-lamps in the pit at the time of the explosion. Mr. Cooksoy, surveyor of colliery works, was examined, and has given an account 0 1 i the state of the pit. It is due to the lessees of the pit to state that the men in their employ, who were in tb e works on the morning of the calamity, speak of theru in terms of the highest respect, and make no charze against them of negligence or indifference to their sa'tety. Amongst the colliers the aocident seems to be treated as one of almost constant occurrence, to which all miners are more or less exposed, and which it is almost impossible by any precaution under certain states of the atmosphere to prevent. The inquiry was adjourned until ?riday next.
