The first of the State trials in Ireland, that of Alr, SMITH 013austi was commenced on Thursday, but no progress was made beyond the disposal of certain technical. questions that were raised on behalf of the prizoner. Those questions were, how cver, of considerable interest, and involve consi derations of no ordinary importance to the fair and just aLkninstration of the law of the land. The first point raised by the Learned Counsel for the defence was one which may probably eventually come before the highest tribunal in the land. It was simply whether a person charged with the gravest offence known to the law, whose life may not only be forfeited if a conviction should take place, but whose lifeless body may afterwards be mu tilated and exposed with every mark of ignominy and disgrace, itid whose blood would be corrupted, so that his innorkiik children could not inherit honours or estates derived through him, should be entitled to the same rig its and privileges, which he could demand if the trial were to take place in this more-favoured land— whether in aU.nitod Kingdom indictments framed on the very same statute should be tried in dif ferent manners, so that the party accused is dvrieed of the same means of defence in one part of the country which he most undoubtedly possesses in another. The application which Mr. WratTesrna made on behalf of the prisoner was immediately overruled by the Court ; but the question was, after some discussion, placed upon the record in such a form as to enable the party, if oc casion should arise, to bring a writ of error on the proceedings. We do not by any means desire to impeach the soundness of that decision. The reasons adduced by - Lord Chief Justice in stating the opinion of their Lordships appear very strongly to sustain the judg ment of the Court, and to show that the statute of ANNE, by which the prisoner in cases of high treason or misprtekn, of treason is entitled to have a list of 4112 Wikaellieb to be produced on the trial, and a co py of the jury panel delivered to him at the sacra time with the copy of the indictment, and ttt least ten clear days before the trial, does not extend to Ireland. It is, however, extremely unfor tunaJoio that such a discrepancy should exist—that thexe should be any pretext for the assertion that every degree of fair play was not shown to the prisoner. Irishmen are easily excited, and char ges and assertions which have no valid foundation too fre quently receive a degree of credence in that country' and operate upon the public mind in a manner th a t can scarcely be conceived on this side of St. George's Channel. The simple fact that he was denied a list of the witnesses to be produced against him, that his professional advisers were de prived of the opportunity of inquiring into their characters and previous histories, by which the credi ' bility of their statements might be impeached, and the weight of their testimony materially affected, will be commented upon in every part of Ireland, and it will be adduced as evidence, that Irishmen are not placed upon an equal footing with their English fellow-subjects, that they do not obtain the same unbiassed and impartial justice which must be afforded to every man accused of similar offences in Eagland. There can be no valid reason why these absurd distinctions between the countries should loe maintained. If we desire that the bonds of union by which they are united should be more closely cemented and perpetuated, no step could be more effectual than the assimilation in every respect of the laws and institutions under which they are controlled and governed. Certain circumstances might exist to render necessary the temporary enforcement of a law in one part of the country, which might not be called for, or in any degree required in the other ; but there should be no permanent or lasting distinctions, either in the laws themselves, or in the mode of their administration. If such were to be the case, the heart burnings and jealousies that have so long existed, and with such injurious results to the kingdom in general, would also most undoubtedly be perpetuated. We trust that the attention of the Legislature may be directed to this point with all convenient speed, and that early in the ensuing session we may witness the .introduction of measures calculated to effect this most desirable object, and to make the same laws applicable to all the European dominions of our most Gracious SOVEREIGN. The other questions brought forward related to the composition of the jury panel, that fertile cause of complaint and dissatisfaction in Ireland. Two points were raised in support of the challenge of the array taken on behalf of the prisoner —the one a question of law, the other one of fact. The first was grounded upon an alleged noncompliance by the clerk of the peace for the county of Tipperary with the statutary enactments regulating the composition of the j urors'- book. This, which even if established would only show a mere informality, was at once overruled by the Court, who held the objection to be " utterly un tenable." The second point was of a graver and more serious character; it directly impeached the fairness and impartiality of the array, which it declared to have been framed with reference to the religious opinions of the parties summoned. This was attempted to be sustained by showing that 288 jurors only were summoned in place of 380, the usual number, and that of those only seventeen or eighteen were Roman Catholics ; whereas, on ordinary occa sions, one-third of the number consisted of persons of that religion. After hearing some evidence, and amongst others that of the Iligh Sheriff himself, and the Sub-Sheriff, the triers appointed to decide thereon re turned a verdict in favour of the panel. The Court was then adjourned until yesterday morning, when the trial most probably was proceeded with. After witnes6ing the loss of time thus occa sioned, and the opportunity afforded of charging partiality against the prisoner, it is deeply to be regretted that the practice in force in Scot land has not been adopted in the remainder of the British Islands. From tho letter of our esteemed correspondent " A Scottish Solicitor," published in The Sun of yesterday, it will be seen that a prisoner shall, fifteen clear days before his trial, be served with a copy of the indictment, together with a list of articles (if any) to be produced at the trial against him. He is also to receive a list of the witnesses and of the jurors, from whom fifteen are to be selected by ballot to try him. These are indeed admirable provisions, which afford every fair facility to the party, and render it impossible to charge any surprise, or partiality, or other reasonable grounds for impeaching a verdict. No person either is suffered to remain undefended because of his poverty ; if unable himself to defray the expense of obtaining professional assistance, there are certain agents and counsels appointed by the Court, from whom he may select the parties to whose advocacy he is willing to entrust the defence of his life or liberty. There is also what Lord BROUGHAM so happily termed the " admirable institution of public prosecutor," and the iniquitous system of private prcsecutions, against which we have so repeatedly uplifted our voice, is wholly unknown. Would that the Scottish system, in these respects, were introduced into every British court of justice. However much the friends of M. ODILON BARROT may congratulate thcmselve• upoa his brilliant dispiny of oratorical ability in the sitting of Wednesday, it is certain that thirty millions of Frenchmen will exult 'in the utter failure of his arguments. Not thirty millions only, but numbers infinitessirnal ; not the present generation only, but all posterity. For the principle advocated by M. ODILON B.RROT was (as applied to the present posture of the country) a principle directly subversive of the institutions of a Democratic Republic like France. Had not the pro ject of Two Chambers been negatived by an absolute majority of 410, had the National Assembly, in com pliance with the demands of M. ODILON BAHROTI decreed a duplex Legislature instead of a Legislature unique in form, in power, and in operation, we do not hesitate to say that a flaw would have been struck in the orb of the Republic which must have caused it ultimately to split into fragments, and have left its ruins the sport of ambition or accident. The truth is that a principle of retrogression under the mask of Moderate or rather of conservative repub licanism has taken possession of the whole soul of M. Tnimis and his colleagues. M. ODILON BARROT, in particular, has recently illustrated the fact of a metamorphosis more surprising than any that was ever conjured up in the lively and ingenious imagina tion of the author of the Fasti. A Radical Reformer in the old Chamber of Deputies, he is a retrograde Conservative in the young National Assembly. The failure of his pet scheme of a Regency has soured his political disposition. He owes a grudge to republicanism, which his self- sufficiency cannot very easily forget. Hence it is that his allegiance has the reserve of insincerity, and his language the acrimony of vengeance. If, however, the project of Two Chambers has failed, notwithstanding the talent displayed by M. ODILON BABROT in the tribune, the triumph of the principle in favour of One Chamber is, in a very great measure, attributable to the logic, the genius, and the eloquence of his illustrious predecessor, DE LAMARTINE• Splendid as have been the orations delivered by this eminent citizen since that moment, on the 23d of February, when he first proclaimed the necessity of endowing France with the sublime pri vilege of universal suffrage, his speech of 11 ednesday must in all essential particulars be regarded as his masterpiece. Speaking of this great speech the Na tional—the organ of the Government—has said, "M. DE LAMARTINE defended the system of a single Chamber with that solid democratic instinct, which, more even than his surpassing eloquence,;will constitute his chief glory in history. His discourse, and above all its introductory passagesv breathed all that gran. deur of ideas, and all that magic of style, to which he has rendered us habituated. It is one service the more performed by him in the cause of truth and of the Republic." The impression of the National is the impression of the Government, and the impres sion of the Government—that Government which, although dictatorial, is intimately identified with the cause of moderate republicanism is just now the impression of the French mul titude. France will feed upon the glorious truths embodied in the magnificent harangue to which we are making allusion, and she will recog nize in the sentiments expressed throughout its every sentence, that the tendency of that political reli gion—that religion of Government whose cardinal dogmas are Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity—is the only spirit which can impart vitality to her Consti tution. The orator, in the induction to his harangue, revealed the insincerity of those who endeavoured to argue for the establishment of two Chambers by tracing out an impossible analogy between the political posi tion, political wants, and the political institutions of France, England, and the United States. He insisted that such an analogy only existed in the fantastic dreams of those whose intellects were inca pable of little more than a servile imitation of the past. Such plagiarism in legislation, he continued, was un worthy of France in its present state of advance ment, and particularly unworthy of it, after its seventy years of experience. Perhaps the most feli citous portion of his speech, however, was that in which he ridiculed the proposition that the popular representatives both in the Senate and in the Lower Chamber should be elected by the people themselves. To demonstrate the absurdity, and, in fact, the utter impracticability of this proposal, he inquired what would be the distinctive marks by which the multitude could discriminate the capacity of one man for the Senate and another for the Lower Chamber of the Republican Legislature. Is it wealth ? said he—that would be a vicious reference to a material criterion, that would be a brutal method of tracing out a distinction ; the whole country would rise up against such a proceeding with a single roar of indignation. Is it profession ? that would be a miserable degeneracy to the old sys tem of castes, that would be a melancholy imitation of the:system of the.. Orientals, and we, tee are in France, remember, and in France in 1848. Is it chance ?—but chance is blind, and blindness can never be a guarantee of safety for traversing the perilous paths of legislation. Is it age F—but no ! that would be destroying that beautiful equili brium which is observable in nature, that equili brium which results from the presence of all ages in the same generation, from the boy to the philosopher, from the infant to the octogenarian. It would be the concentration of all the - wisdom, the calmness, the dignity, the experience to the one Chamber, and the abandonment of all the impulse, the heat, the inex perience, the rashness, and the uncontrolled enthu siasm to the other; it would be an arbitrary decree against whatever was venerable in oratory—it would be saying to FRANKLIN, and to ROYER COLLARD, " Away ! you are not of the popular Assembly, you are of the Senate !" In a strain of equally felici tous inspiration M. DR LANIARTINE subsequently apostrophized the evil Demon of Communism as one of those monstrous ideas which sometimes appear in the world to affright mankind, but which, like the monstrosities in the animal or vegetable kingdoms, have no powers of reproduction. Towards the pero ration, again, he broke out into an impassioned strain of eloquence, warning the National Assemby from delegating its sovereignty into the hands of a single man, by the establisment of a personal dictatorship. " There are two names in history," he exclaimed, " which are alone sufficient to warn you from such a proceeding. One name, in England, is that of MONK ; the other name, in France, is that of Box).- PARTE." Upon these considerations the orator repudiated the notion of an irresponsible President under any circumstances; and voted for a single Chamber as the most compatible with the unity of the Republic, the liberty of elections, the equality of representation, and the fraternity of ideas. Thanks to his eloquence and patriotism, France is surmount ing another crisis—the crisis of legislative retro gression. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The National Assembly was engaged on Thursday in discussing the 28th Article of the Constitution, which enacts that the places of election for each de partment shall be the chief town in each canton. To this an amendment had been moved, to the effect that there shall be provided a polling place in each com mune (or parish), in order to give greater facilities to the rural electors to record their votes. The report of the renewal of the armistice between CHARLES ALBERT and RADETZKY is officially con tradicted by the Presse, which says that a tacit agree ment has been come to that the armistice shall be re newed every eight days until the negotiations on the Italian question shall be concluded. The same organ of the reactionary party also states (and from the in timate connexion subsisting between M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN and the Bourbon family, we presume also officially) that the King of NAPLES has accepted the mediation of England and France in the Sicilian question, only on condition that his right to the submission of Sicily should not be questioned. Banquets were given both at Toulouse and Bourges to celebrate the anniversary of the foundation of the Republic, on the 22d of September. These ban quets were attended by the Prefects and other mu nicipal authorities, and under their sanction Socialist toasts were given and Socialist speeches were made of the most anarchical tendency. The rumour that Al. GENT, the newly elected representative for Vauclause, had died of the wounds he had received in his duel with M. LEON DE LA BORDE, is incorrect. He has had his arm amputated, and great hopes are entertained of his recovery. In the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday the debate in the 28th clause of the Constitution was continued, and the amendment proposing to take the votes in each commune instead of in the chief town of each department, was negatived by a majority of 528 votes to 271. A discussion then took place on the affairs of Italy, which had not concluded at the hour the post left. M. VIYIER, a distirguished member of M.THIRES'S party, who held the office of Minister of Justice un der the last Ministry of M. TUIERS, has been ap pointed to represent France at the Congress, which is to be held on the affairs of Italy. It is not yet decided whether the Congress will assemble at Inn spruck or at Geneva. BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, SEPT. 29. THREE O'CLOCK.—Thin has been a day of great ex citement at the Bourse ; the Rentes have further de clined, and have dragged the Railway Shares in their train. Bank of France Shares have fallen no less than 75f. This is owing to a meeting of the Bank directors, held this morning, at which it is said that they came to a resolution that, in the event of the National Assembly passing a measure now before it for t he . creation of two thousand millons of bons hypothecaues, the Bank will at once close business, and wind up its accounts. This resolution has created an immense sensation, as it is thought probable that the measure in question will be adopted by the Assembly. The Bank returns pub lished this morning, though by no means favourable, are not of a nature to assist in the fall. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 25c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 60c.; the Loan has fallen 75c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 60c.; Five per Cents. have fallen 60c. also ; and the Loan has fallen 80c.; Bons du Tr6sor are not quoted ; Bank of France Shares, which closed yesterday at 1,615 f., closed to-day at 1,550 f., after having been as low as 1,540 f.; Belgian Bank Shares not quoted ; Five per Cents. remain as yesterday ; Spanish Three per Cents. are at 24; Roman and Rothschild's receipts are the same as yesterday. Exchange on London (thirty days), 25f. 32c.; ditto (ninety days), 25f. 17ie. Railway Shares have suffered severely, and especially the heavy Stocks. Orleans have fallen 10f.; Rouens, 15f.; Havres, 7f. 50c. ; Nor therns, lf. 25c.; Marseilles, If. 25c.; Bordeaux, 3f. 75c.; and Nantes, If. 25c.; Strasburgs remain as yesterday. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGF,, Sexr. 29. Paris and Lyons, 4 t 4—Sambre and Meuse, VA. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 24th have arrived. CABRERA was in the Lampurdan. Intelligence had reached Madrid of the entry into Spain of a band of refugees by the Valley of the Anso. It was ;umoured in Madrid that unfavourable news had been received from the disturbed dis tricts, and that a body of troops had been cut off by the Carlists. The 24th, being Sunday, there was no Bolsa. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. A body of 1,200 recruits, Poles and Germans, who had entered the Russian service, cut their way through the Russians at Elizabethenord, in the government of Cherson, during the night, and joined the Turks, in consequence of an attempt made by the Russian General to disband them. The Hungarian Minister of War has received the following intelligence : " ORTOVA., SEPT. 9.—The re- establishment of the armed force in Wallachia i 3 proceeding very slowly, whereas the Russian army has lately been increased by 50,000 men, and according to undoubted informa tion entered Wallachia on the 7th. In the vicinity of Widden a Turkish corps of 12,000 men has been con centrated, and SoLomen PACHA, who was encourag ing the Wallachians, was repulsed by SOUT ErrEnni." h*,........ , s.j . :,' 1;1:4:;'ITI :N , 4.". . , . tr- TURKEY. Intelligence has been received from Constantinople of the 15th, and from Smyrna of the 16th. The cholera at Smyrna was fast disappearing, but it was committing terrible ravages at Salonica. GREECE. Letters from Athens state that the Chambers are endeavouring to investigate and expose the system of peculation and plunder, of which the Coletti Ministry, acting under the inspiration of M. GUIZOT and his agent M. PISCATORY, have been guilty, and which was carried on principally at the expense of the foreign creditor. King OTno, for reasons best known to himself, throws every obstacle in the way of the inquiry which the Chambers are so anxious to institute. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. BADEN. The insurrection is completely unsuccessful. The insurgents were defeated by General HOFFMAN near Stauffen, pursued, surrounded, and STRUVE and 80 of his followers were taken prisoners on the night of the 24th, and tried by court-martial and shot the follow ing morning. The following is the official account published by the Baden Ministry : "According to advices just received, a heavy can nonading was heard in the directio❑ of Freiburg. 'We have received, by a special engine, the news that our troops have defeated and put to the rout the rebels who had entrenched themselves at Stauffen. Near Heitersheim our troops came up with a body of 700 insurgents, and drove them back into Stauffen. After a somewhat obstinate resistance, the town was taken by storm. Some houses were burnt down ; a great number of the rebels were slain, with some lois on our side. Fuller details are expected. "Karlsruhe, Sept. 25, 1848." The Ober-Post Anipt Zeitung of the 25th says : "We are enable d to state that Struve has been tried by court-martial, and shot this morning. Ile was seized, with 68 of his followers, who await their fate." The Frankfort Gazette has a postscript to the following effect : " Struve, with eighty of his followers, has been made a prisoner and shot. The whole of his corre spondence has been seized. The same journal adds in a supplement—We are able to confirm on good authority the news of the execution of Struve. The same sentence has been pronounced against the eighty rebels who were made prisoners with him." A letter dated Freiburg, the 25th inst., says— "The Free Corps have been exterminated all but one thousand, who have sought shelter in the Mun zerthal, where they will probably fall into the hands of the Wurtemberg tNops." AUSTRIA. The Zeitungshalle, of the 22d, says, that in the sitting of the Assembly of the previous day, the Deputy RIEGLER interrogated the Minister of War on the subject of the reactionary spirit exhibited by the officers of the army, and asked if he intended Publishing an order of the day, warning the army against taking part in any reactionary proceedings. The Minister of War rudely replied, that was his affair alone, and that he understood his duty ; whereupon REIGEE gave notice of a motion on the subject, adding, the Minister of War must then submit to the resolution of the Assembly. VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—The Hungarian deputation refused to hare merely a written communication with the Diet, and therefore returned to Pesth with out accomplishing their mission. In the Diet the Minister DOBLIIOF F declared that there was no truth in the report that there was any intention of abo lishing the High School of Innspruck. The proposition has been made that Innspruck is to be the Austrian place of congress for the settle ment of the Italian difference. Prussia will take part in these conferences. Austria, however, insists that the foreign diplomatic intervention shall be con fined to the affair of Sardinia, and can by no means interfere in regulating those of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom, for that the regulation of this must be left to Austria, which has reconquered its own province with its blood. All are, however, most anxious that steps should soon be taken for conciliating the minds of men, for emanci pating the people, and, in short, for founding the Government on a more secure basis than that of the sword. RADETZKY has done more than could pos sibly have been expected of him ; but what has the Ministry done, and what is it doing, in order to con solidate that peace which has been so wonderfully achieved by the sword ?—Allgemeine Zeitung. 1 AUSTRIAN FUNDS.- I VIE4NA, SEPT. 22. 5 per Cents. •••••• • • • • • • 79 3 per Cent...—. .• •• .• •• -......• •••• .• 47 2% per Cent. .............. • • .• 41% 1 per Cent.

Count MOLTKE has gone to Alsen, where, under the protection of Danish bayonets, he has formed a new Provisional Government, and issued a procla mation calling upon the authorities to refuse obedience to the existing Provisional Government, and to recognise him and his constituents,JoHANNsax and HANSEN, as the sole existing authority of the Duchies. All are looking forward with the greatest anxiety as to the result of the procedure. The Provisional Government of Rendsburg in tends to remove its seat to Schleswig, in which case the Assembly will remove thither also. From t h the presenttatwar s mtateoayfthings appreh ens i ons are entertained again break out with Denmark. The commission appears to confine its immediate operations to the island of Alsen, where, during the King of DERMARXIS late visit, he had been received with great enthusiasm. ALTONA, SEPT. 25.—The Federal auxiliaries have now. all left the Hamburgh territory ; the last, the FiankfOrt battalion, having crossed the Elbe yester• day morning. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. The rumour of the defeat of the Ban JELLACHICH and his Croatians by the Hungarian troops is con firmed. The Prussian Slaats Anzeiger of the 27th says— " Major Vobar, who commanded the Hungarians, apprised by his scouts of the advance of the Croats, lay concealed, with three battalions of infantry, u n d er quartersc 01-er o f o some n low hour,brushwood.thooutposts 0 ntp of the enemy ap peared.

PRUSSIA: The cholera continues to diminish at Berlin. On ;he 26th there were only twenty-fire cases. Cologne still continues in a state of siege. A pro clamation was issued on the 27th calling on all persons to deliver up their arms, and threatening those who should neglect to do so with severe punishment. The Cologne Gazette of the 28th says— " Our garrison has been reinforced by three bat talions, viz., of the 13th, 14th, and 17th regiments of the line, and a division of Rifles. The 6th Uhlanen regiment has been ordered to Deutz as long as the state of siege lasts. Here at Cologne the troops were joyfully welcomed by their comrades and joined in the bivouac in the streets. The night passed by without the slightest disturbance. We are sorry to say that some of the outposts ill treated some persons near the New Market, one of whom is reported to have since died. The guns before the Government offices have since beeen withdrawn. More arrests were made to-day." " Sec. 20. Every one is atliberty to choose his own trade or profession, and to educate himself how and where he likes. "ART. 6. " Sec. 21. Germans have the right of assembling peaceably, and without arms. They need no parti cular permission to do so. 4 . People's meetings in the open air may be forbidden, when public order or the public safety is in imminent danger. " Sec. 22. Germans have the right of forming unions. This right 'shall not be limited by any pre ventive measures. "The order of the Jesuits, as also that of Redemp tores and Liguorians, is for ever banished from the territory of the German empire." Before the discussion commenced on the funda mental rights, Mr. Sistorr, of Treves, proposed a mo tion, having for its object that the sanction given to the armistice should be annulled. This proposal was not recognised as urgent. Mr. ZIMMERMANN, of Spandau, then put a series of questions on Schleswig- Holstein. The Minister, Vox ScnmERLING, said he would give explanations on the following Monday in the meanwhile he would state that the Central Power would take care that the resolution taken by the Assembly on the 16th should be executed, and he further said that the Commission which had, it was stated, been named by the Danish Government, would not be recognised by the Central Power, as the nomination of such a Commission had not been stipu lated in the convention of the armistice. ITALY. NAPLES. Intelligence from Naples to the 21st has been re ceived. In consequence of the refusal of the Minister BOZZELI to carry out any of the proposed reforms great discontent had been excited. It was rumoured that there had been an outbreak at Cosenza. FRANKFORT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the 25th, the following sections of the fundamental rights were carried : " Section 19. Instruction and education are alto gether under the superintendence of the State. " The right of receiving a general education, such as men and citizens require, is guaranteed to the German youth i n th e f orm of adequate public schools. "No one may leave the youth committed to his care without that degree of instruction which is pre scribed for the lower class of schools for the people. " The matter of instruction and education is alto gether divested of the superintendence of the clergy, as clergy. State. Com munes " Public t eac h ers h ave the r i ghts of servants o f t h e (or communities) choose their teachers i n th e pu bli c schools from among those who have been tested."—Carried. Ayes, 176 ; noes, 147. Nothing is paid for the instruction in the public schools, nor in the lower class of schools of industry. Free instruction shall be given to the indigent in all public establishments of education. There shall be no poor schools. "Each parish (or commune) pays its teachers adequately ; and to this end the State helps poorer parishes (or communities). 4 al Week Last a a, 74 ending NAME OF RAILWAY. week. 0 Sept. - Aberdeen .. • ••••.. • • .. - 24 Amiens and Boulogne . •...... ..... 1,889 755 23 Belfast and Ballymena •• •• •••• • • • • 396 - 24 Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire 868 777 23 Caledonian.... - 23 Chester and Holyhead 2,104 - 23 Cockermouth and Workington.... • 138 - 21 Dublin and Drogheda ••• • • • ••••• • • • • 795 893 26 Dublin and Kingstown . 959 985 23 Dundee, Perth, and Aberdeen • 1,099 873 24 East Ang1ian........ ................ 710 - 23 Edinburgh and Glasgow .• • • ........ 4,494 4,270 23 Edinbnrgh and Northern .. •• •• •• • • 2,046 - 24 Eastern Counties and North Eastern • • 15,777 14,807 23 East Lancashire 1,728 1,011 23 Eastern Union- • • ••••..•• • • • • • • 1,402 1,199 23 Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ayr ••• • • • 2 ,7 18 2,704 23 Glasgow and Greeneck• ••••• • • • •• •• 1,140 1,265 23 Great Southern and Western •••• • • .. 3,508 2,120 24 Great Western.

The views, as exhibited to the spectators, cover a space of some thirty feet square, and moving figures are intro duced in a very ingenious manner. The colours and various effects are admirably developed, and the whole exhibition was loudly applauded by the audience last evening assembled. It is understood the Bank of England have made some advances on Exchequer. bills until the middle of October, at the rate of 3 per cent., obviously with the usual vi ew o f equa li z i ng th e c i rcu l ation as muc h as possible in connexion with the payment of the divi dends. THE NEIV FRENCH CONSTITUTION.----A new cari cature has appeared in Paris, representing Armand Marrast in the year 1888. The venerable president, his eyes protected by a green shade, and holding a bell with a feeble hand, is addressing the following words to an assembly of old men fast asleep .—" The sitting of to morrow will again be devoted to the discussion on the Constitution. Come, gentlemen, we must at length have done with it." LOMBARD Y. The Opinione states that the beautiful little city of Manza has been delivered up to the semi•bar barian Croats of the army of RIDETZHY for pillage, and that they have perpetrated the most horrible massacres. Several persons have been shot, and many of the principal inhabitants have been tortured by the bastinado. One unfortunate boy, named BIM' SATI, received sixty blows, and was left for dead. The reason given for the infliction of this barbarity was that he was not of the legal age to be shot. Among the persons thus shamefully tortured was a French gentleman, a nephew of M. BASTIDE, who appealed to his Consul. His crime was endeavouring to avoid the attack of four armed men, and he was stated to ,b. punished for endeavouring to escape from the public force. He received fifty blows with a stick, and was afterwards conveyed to Milan bound hand and foot, like a felon. RADETZKT has given POLTINGER, the Commandant at Manza, permission to shoot whomsoever he may judge right. ANNIBAL GRASSELLI has been seized by the Austrians at Cre mona, notwithstanding the amnesty, and conveyed no one knows whither. TUSCANY. The Alba of Florence states that 1,000 Piedmontese are to garrison Leghorn. This, says the Alba, will be a breach of faith on the part of the Tuscan Go vernment, and it is to be feared that the new Gonfa lonier and Guerr‘azzi will be unable to appease the wrath of the people of Leghorn. ROME. The Contemperaneo of the 19th of Sept. says that the National Circle of Rome met yesterday, and unanimously gave its adhesion to the protests of the Circles of Ancona, and of the other States, which declare that the popular sanction shall never be given to any negotiations on the Italian question which do not adopt for their basis the entire and definitive cessation of foreign domination in Italy and the in tegral independence of the country. MONACO. On the 22d, at Monaco, a revolution, or rather an amicable separation took place between the PRINCE and his subjects. When the news arrived that the towns of Menton and Riquebonne were to be taken possession of by Piedmont, a rumour was spread that the son of the Prince of MONACO, who i 3 at Turin, had gone there for the purpose of selling the whole principality to the King of SARDINIA. The conse quence was a riot in the town of Monaco. The in habitants went en incase to the palace of the PRINCE, who came among them, and declared that the reports in circulation were a gross calumny, and that he should be glad, if they were not satisfied with his declaration, that they should place themselves under the protection of France ; or, if they chose, make themselves over to France altogether. On this there was an immediate cry of " \rive la R6publique Fran• csise," and the city was illuminated, and the feeling of the inhabitants of the town of Monaco, most of whom are French, appears to be, to place themselves under the Republic. At Menton, however, the dis position of the people is in favour of Piedmont. That town was also illuminated in honour of its being taken possession of by the Sardinian Govern ment. VANCOUVER'S ISLAND. Another important map has just been published by Mr. Wyld, the distinguished geographer—the subject of the map being the island of Quadra or Vancouver. At a time when so much anxiety is experienced as to the fate of this remarkable possession, it is impossible not to feel in a measure grateful for an opportune sketch, such as that which has now been issued from the establishment at Charing-cross. The Honourable Member for Bodmin has manifestly not allowed his interest to relax in regard to a question in which the advantage of the whole country is opposed to that of the Hudson's Bay Company. The map is complete in every detail, even to the extent of minuteness. It constitutes of itself an unanswerable argument against the proposed transference. RAILWAY RETURNS RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following are the Total Receipts of Rail. ways for the past week—that is to say, up to the date to which the respective returns are made, together with the receipts of the cams week in the previous year: MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales. Prices this week have been barely supported. Railway Shares had not been much dealt in, and prices were very flat. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were rather higher. In reference to the proposed French loan, noticed a day or two since, under this head, Messrs. Devaux have forwarded the following letter : " Sir,—As the article which jou extracted from the Moniteur, in reference to a French loan, might lead to an erroneous conclusion respecting some representations contained in the circular we issued, on the 25th instant, for private circulation, but which found its way into the public papers, we are unwillingly compelled, in jus tice to ourselves, to submit at foot copy of the letter written yesterday by Mr. C. Devaux, to the French Minister of Finances. "Trusting you will oblige us by inserting the present, we remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, "C. DEVAUX and CO. " 62, King William-street, Sept. 29. " COPY —(Translation). " London, Sept. 28. " Monsieur le Ministre,—l have ri ceived the letter which Monsieur Salvador, the chief of your Cabinet, addressed to me yesterday in reply to the one I had the honour - to write to you on the 25th instant. "You inform me that the French Government is not disposed at present to contract a new loan. "In conformity with that announcement we immedi ately made the following notification to the Stock Ex change:— _ _ _ " London, Sept. 28. " Messrs. C. Devaux and Co. beg to give notice, that in consequence of official communication received this day from the French Minister of Finance, they with draw for the present their proposal to open a list of sub scription for effecting a French loan.' "In this state of things I can only regret having ac tually called the attention of our friends and corres pondents to this subject. " I must however call to your attention, that the con ferences which I had the honour to have with you, Mon sieur le Ministre, clearly established, that if a loan of three hundred millions of francs was offered to you, you were disposed to negotiate it. You ever expressed to me your readiness to negotiate at once, with the understood reserve of the approbation of your colleagues of the Chamber, if I could support a firm offer by a deposit; and as I was not yet in a position to do so, you engaged me to leave at once, and to lose no time, as from day to day an offer might be made to you. " I was, theretive, justified in taking, within the limits of reserve I imposed upon myself, the necessary arrange ments for making you an effective offer. I should have done so earlier it I had not feared, by addressing myself to our friends for a new loan, obstructing your conver sion of the Paris and Lyons shares, and the payment of the call which was to take place on the 20th, and on the last loan.—l am, &e. (Signed) " CHARLES DEVAUX." It will be remarked from the above that the loan, as far as the present parties are concerned, has been aban doned, but with the certainty almost that either here or in France it must speedily again be brought forward. The Bank of England averages are affected at the close of the quarter by other causes than those which usually act, and the decrease of circulation arises from augmented public deposits as much as from dullness of trade. The bullion last week was augmented a little, and there were more loans made upon Government Securities, or else purchases were affected. The following are the items in the return compared with the previous week:— Notes issued 27,237,435 Increase 38,695 Rest Increase Public Deposits 6,799,283 Increase Other Deposits 8,691,777 Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Increase 100,433 Other Securities Increase Notes Increase Bullion Increase 42,400 Active circulation Decrease The amount of bullion and specie exported from Lon don this week has been 18,400 ounces of silver and 654 ounces of gold. In the Stock Market there is very little doing to-day, and the quotations remain as nearly as possible the same as yesterday. Consols are 854 to 86 for Transfer, and 86 to for Account. Exchequer-bills of March have been 295. to 325. prem., and India Boads 28s. to 30s. premium. The Foreign Securities have been very firm. Portu guese Four per Cents. have realised 24, and Spanish Three per Cents. 234. Mexican have improved to 17-i and 18. This Stock is in favour just now. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 454, and the Four per Cents. 714. Peruvian Stock is at 291. The Railway Share Market has been heavy again to- day.
