The rate of interest at the Bank of England on bills not having more than three months to run, was yesterday reduced from 3k to 3 per cent. It will, we believe, generally be conceded that the di rectors of the great national establishment should not charge a higher rate of discount, or maintain a higher price for money, than the various bankers and great discount houses, by which they are surrounded, and who are not entitled to any exclusive or extraor dinary privileges. It is yet notorious that for some time past money could be obtained freely on first class paper on easier terms than at the Bank of England. If, therefore, the directors were not prepared to sacrifice the business of the concern, to disregard altogether the interests of the proprietors of Bank Stock, and to report at the next half-yearly meeting, a divi dend becoming " small by degrees, and beau tifully [less," no other course remained but to announce an immediate reduction. They have already disgu s t e d many of those who had been among their best customers by the stringency of their proceedings. Men who had successfully weathered the storm, and fully and fairly liability, were denied the accommodation they t everytheyhadjust reason to expect, and compelled to make heavy sacrifices, which a more liberal spirit on the part a the directors would which was have rendered quite unnecessary. Thescrew, was put on during a period of panic and general s ation of credit, was kept up to the fullest extent when there could no longer be the slightest necessity for a course so detrimental to the industrious classes generally, and mere especially to all those in any manner engaged in trade or manufactures, or earning their daily bread by the sweat of their brows. The di rectors, however, attempted to keep up the artificial scarcity of money at any loss to the proprietors, whose interests it might have been supposed it was their especial duty to protect. The Bank reserve was increased to an extent far beyond the amount which is generally considered to be fully sufficient for the business of the Bank, and which might have been issued to the public with the most perfect safety ; while at the same time large sums were drawn in every week from the public, to whom accommoda tion was meted out with a most nigiardly and sparing hand. Private securities were less and less in every week, until the amount was reduced in less than one short year from 20,400,8971. to 10,847,210/., the first being the average lent on private securities for the week ending the aOth October, 1847, the latter fur the week end ing fhe 21st October, 1848. Notwithstanding the above facts, which clearly and unequivocally prove that the directors should long since have adopted the course they have at length so tardily pursued, there are to be found persons, who condemn the proceeding, who would desire for their own vile purposes that the country should still be kept in a state of difficulty and distress—that want of confidence should be apparent on every side—that prices should k be depreciated—mills and factories idle and deserted— artizans and operatives unemployed—and everything low and unremunerative, save the interest of money. Those amiable men, the Moneyocracy of the country, loudly complain of the reduction, proclaim the impro priety and inexpediency of the Bank giving the signal for security, and thus taking the game out of their hands. They cavil and fret because the directors have " for the nonce," disregarded their narrow and restricted views, to which they have too long been the slaves, and dared to fol low the path which a due consideration of the inte rests of the Bank proprietary, and of the community in general, simultaneously indicated. They cannot conceal their vexation and disappointment, and, forgetful of the adage, " they bark where they are unable to bite." Those prejudiced and narrow minded men may, however, be treated with silent contempt. The motives by which they are actuated are too palpable to deceive even the most cre dulous. The nation will not be deterred by their croakings from taking full advantage of the improved prospects—of the more pro pitious seasons—" the good time coming "—which we hope and believe to be at hand. They will not be permitted to realise their own forebodings, to accom plih the evil they prophecy with such intense anxiety for the fulfilment of their predictions. The public may now be convinced of that which a careful ex amination of the Bank returns for some time past, and of the general prospects of the country, would have satisfied the more experienced, viz., that there is no immediate danger of monetary embarrassments ; that greater facilities for obtaining money at fair and reason able interest will be afforded ; that confidence and credit will gradually improve until they are at length fully re-established, and just and adequate prices may be obtained for every description of property. We again congratulate the public on the step that has been taken by the directors of the Bank of England, a step which was not only equitable in itself, and what the country had a right to expect at their hands, but wise and politic in the highest degree, and likely to prove equally beneficial to the Bank itself and to the nation. Really the contradictions and perversities of judg ment displayed by the gentlemen who stickle for the sanctification of the Sabbath are exceeding all reason able and bearable limits. We can endure the nui sance no longer. To squeeze the whole question into the compass of a very portable proposition, we say for once and for all—lf Mr. SO-AND-SO thinks that by shaving his chin upon the Lord's day, he is acting sinfully, why, in Heaven's name, let him go unshorn until Monday morning, but for GOD'S sake don't allow him the power of making his neighbour: equally unclean by compulsion ? Were the wh i ms o' half-a-dozen frequenters of the conventicler to coun terbalance the will of the multitude, we should soon enough have the whole fabric of society turned topsy turvy. We should exist upon biscuits and cold meat fifty-two days in the year; we should be shivering over our unlighted hearths for twenty-four hours in every one of the weeks of winter ; we should have not the permanent consecration of the Sabbath, but the periodical stagnation of the community. N( trains would run upon the railways, not an omnibus, a stage coach, a cab, a hackney carriage, not " A whisky, buggy, gig, or go-cart, Curriele, or tand-m;" nay, not even the most ramshackle brougham, the most ricketty clarence, or the most unostentatious chip of a wheelbarrow would break the monotony of our streets on a Sunday. Sadness and silence would descend upon the population of our great cities with the bolting of the last shutter on Saturday nights. Religion would doom horseflesh to the stables once every seven days, and would unconsciously promote the interest of the cobblers of England, Ireland, Scot land, and Berwick-upon-Tweed by the compulsory trituration of shoe leather. Every line of traffic and communication would be blocked up as effectually as by the barricades of the Parisians. The cooking of a cutlet would be prohibited as an infringement of the Commandments. The receipt of a letter would add an eighth to the seven deadly sins. The purchase o . a newspaper would require for its expiation some. thing more than the singeing influences of the " purgatorial fires" mentioned by the ghost in Hamlet. Now, we protest in teto against this enor mous humbug. We maintain, in defiance of di rectors of railways, of Secretary-KERS, of PLIIMPTEES, of AGEEWS, and of all the other godly individuals la ho are known under thr soubriquet of Sabbatarians, we maintain, we say, in defiance of all these very excellent gentlemen, the' GOD never intended our souls to pass through life it. a straight-waistcoat. The virtues inculcated by Christianity are persuasive, not peremptory. We are taught to be moral, not forced willi-nilli into this or that pathway of excellence. One of the divinest glories of the religion founded in Palestine is its non interference with the will exercised by humanity. Had it been otherwise, twelve unlettered fishermen would never have dissipated the sensuous charms of Paganism. To found Christianity (such as it is de picted by the Sabbatarians of Scotland) would have required an army greater than that of XERXES, a cunning more profound than that Of MACHIAVELLI, a military awe more overpowering than that of ALEX ANDER, the resolution of CIESAR, the daring of Harm HAL, and the dazzling pomps of NAPOLEON. As it was, the Gentiles were lured into a recognition of the divinity of CHRIST and of the truths of his religion, not by arbitrary enactments and rigorous penalties, but by the inspirations of eloquence, by the force cf logic, by the purity of precepts, and by the witcheries of example. But, No! The Sabbatarians can't, for the life of them, perceive one atom of all this. The truth which is as a shining light to the million is as an impenetrable blackness to themselves. Oculos habent, et non videbunt : aures habent, et non audient nares habent, et non odorabunt. To them religion i 2 as something intimately dependent on the temporary cessation of the labours of letter-carrying, engine driving, and the like diabolical operations. They are in the minority, it is true ; but they are moreover (to their own thinking) in the right—and therefore we must down all of us on our marrow-bones and submit to their adjudication. Wait a moment, however, and let us see whether these men, who expect the whole population of the United Kingdoms to yield obedience, without a murmur at the despotism of their evangelical whims, are consistent with themselves and their theory ! They say that all Sunday travelling is sinful—end yet they convey the mails very submissively on their railways, and in so doing employ stokers, and guards, and engine-drivers, and policemen, and a number of other subordinates! They deny a daughter travel ling to the death-bed of a father a seat in one of the empty carriages in a mail-train--and yet they convey the letters, and those letters may be filled, for aught they know to the contrary, with libels, and chal lenges, and and back-biting, and all abomina tions! One of the Sabbatarian lines is closed against a Duchess—while another facilitates the journey of a Queen! But here, take the following tidbit of practical morality. It is the record of a number of penalties inflicted only the other morning publicans DAY.—Two or three licensed mises beforegondraion'keilonegk With su n f t were charged in the police-court on Saturday itohfinthethfeaisrt_ day, a o n f d the ti at i r la n g oo w n that day haying been • lawful authority.' mr sel t apart for public worship by for two of the parties, a . nd Robertson, solicitor, appeared being a day set apart for public :c1 that h the fast-day, not rity, no conviction could take piac or e s lrful autho r: oheriff Dick son, however, entertained a differen't opinion, the complaints proven. Similar objeions b ajul found taken by Mr. Robertson in cases Of the same description, curring within the jurisdiction of the magistrafesu% 1 ?• Tullis concurred in the opinion given by the :hear'lfh substitute. Penalties were imposed in all the cases." l - And then read the subjoined paragraph as a testi mony of the consistency of these sanctimonious money. makers. " THE FAST DAY.—Thursday having been the half yearly sacramental fast, was observed in the city with the usual solemnity, all the shops end other places cf business being closed. The weather being fine, a con siderable number of people devoted the day to excursions of pleasure, for which the various railways afforded every facility. We learn that 6,450 passengers travelled by fr the Edinburgh and Northern Railway ; 5,000 by the North British ; 1,500 by the Edinburgh and Glasgow ; and 900 by the Caledonian. The Fast Day in Glasgow having occurred on the same dey, there was less at trac tion to visit that city than hitherto ; but on the North British Railway a source of amusement was found in Gullane races, which took place on Thursday. The various churches were in general well filled." The deduction .from all this is too obvious to be stereotyped. It reveals the perfect disinterestedness and the inflexible consistency of the godly individuals called Agnewites. Yet, as an additional token of their en lightenment we may observe that they have recently exerted their energies to prevent the transmission of the mails on all Sundays to and from Rothsay. On those doomed days the steamboats shall no longer, if they can help it, spoom across the Firth of Clyde on such errands of Satan. Bute is to be closed against the contamination of loving letters and impertinent journals. The Sabbath, in that quarter at least, is henceforth to be kept holy—a revival of the sanctity and seclusion of the once famous Icolmkill. The Sabbath ! And it is this day, encumbered with these execrable and most un-Christian restrictions, which is apostrophised by a Labourer's Daughter as The Pearl of Days ! The Pearl of Days, forsooth I they would soon render it the Curse of Weeks. But enough of this. The scruples of a few superstitious persons are not going to overrule the rational mo rality of twenty-six millions of human beings in the middle of the nineteenth century. The extra agita tion of the Sabbatarians is only leading the more ra pidly and the more inevitably to their own final dis comfiture. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Wednesday, being All Saints Day, was observed as a strict holiday in Paris, and consequently the majority of the journals did not appear. Among those published was the Demecratie Pacifique, which states that several quarrels have occurred between► the soldiers of the Gardes Mobiles and the soldiers of the Line, and that conflicts have, in many instances, ensued in which the ouvriers took part against the Gerdes Mobiles. The Gardes Mobiles were on Wednesday confined to their barracks in the Fau bourg Poissoniere to prevent the recurrence of these In consequence of a difference of opinion among the several members of the Clubs of the Rue de Poi tiers and the Institute, they have determined that, as clubs, they, will abstain from recommending any candidate. M. TRIERS supports the pretensions of Lours NA POLEON BWIAPARTB, being moved thereunto by the promise of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with, of course, full power to " wcrk the telegraph," as usual. Prince Louis NAPOLEON is already giving him self the airs of royalty—keeping himself aloe f from the profane vulgar, transacting all business through the intervention of his cousin, who acts as a sort of Prime Minister to him, holding levees, grant ing audiences, contracting loans, and drawing up lists of his future Cabinet. One of these Ministerial lists gives the Foreign Affairs, as we before stated, to TratERS, the Interior to ODILLON BARROT, the Finance .to FOULD, War to OUDI NOT, Marine to DUPETIT THOUARS, Commerce to LEON FAUCHER, the Post-office to EMILE DE GI HARDIN, and the Prefecture of Police to LEON DE MaLLEvILLE. In fact, it is the Ministry of the old Centre Gauche, which, presented by Louis PHILIPPE to the people rs a peace offering on the 24th of Fe bruary, was rejected by them with contempt. The only addition being the appointment of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN to an office of trust—an addition not at all calculated to add tai the respzctebility or the sta bility of the proposed Bonaparte Cabinet. General CHANGARNIER has published a letter, de claring that he will not permit himself to be nomi nated is a candidate for the Presidency of the Republic. A deputation of the wives of those who have been condemned for taking pert in the insurrection of June went through the streets of Paris yesterday, intend ing to present a petition for a general amnesty to the National Assembly. The procession was stopped at !he Pont de la Concorde by the police, and the peti tion was received by one of the officers and carried to the Assembly, after which the women quietly dispersed. The following are the candidates, as far as hitherto known, for the vacant seats in the National Assem bly the Charente-Inferieure, Marshal BUGEA.UD and M. PAILLET ; in the Tarn, the Abbe DE GENOUDE and M. FOREST; in Corsica, M. E. DE GIRARDIN, the Able DE GENOUDE, and LUCIEN BONAPARTE ; in the Yonne, MM. ALEXANDER DUMAS, FREDERICK GAILLAEDAT, and PINARD; in Calvados, M. GUIZOT is put forward, but without his own consent; no other candidate has hitherto been started. The election takes place on the 19th of November. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday the dis cussion on the revision of the Constitution was com menced. A motion by M. DEVILLE, to the effect that the whole Constitution should be re examined and re-voted by the Assembly, on the ground that during the former discussion Paris was in a state of siege, was, after a smart debate, withdrawn, and the first eight paragraphs were agreed to. On the ninth paragraph being proposed, M. FELIX PYAT moved, as an amendment, that the clause recognising the right to labour should he re inserted. The amend ment was, after a sharp and angry debate, rejected by a majority of 562, the numbers being —for the amendment 86, against it 638. The discussion on the revision of the Constitution had not concluded when the post left. BOURSE, PARIS, THURSDAY, Nov. 2. THREE O'CLOCII.—To-day there was again a heavy tall at the Bourse, which is attributed entirely to the uneasiness produced by the approaching election, and the bad state of the finances of the Republic. After the close of the Bourse the Five per Cents. fell to 671. 40c. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 40c. ; Five per Cents. 50c. ; and the Lsan, 75c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have also fallen 400. ; the Five per Cents. have fallen 55c.; and the Loan 75c. ; Bons du Ti ilor not quoted ; Bank of France Shares have fallen 40c.; Belgian Bank Shares have fallen 5f.; ditto Five per Cents. have fallen per cent. ; Spanish Funds not quoted ; Roman has advanced I per cent. ; Rothschild's Receipts are at 79. Exchange on London (30 days), 25 45 ; ditto (90 days), 25 27h. Railway Shares have again declined; Orleans have fallen 3f. 75c , and the Rouens 6f. 25c. In the others there is no mate rial change. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TB LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Nov. 2. Boulogne and Amiens, 6%—Namur and Liege, 43,1. THE ITN, LONDON, FR I DAY EVENING,N OVEMBER 3, 1818. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived. M. LEVRIER, the French police agent, who arrested ESCOSURA and the other Spanish refugees at Per pignan, has arrived at Madrid, and been feted by CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ. The accounts which have been received at Madrid from the insurgent provinces are of a very contradic tory character. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES, AUSTRIA, BOHEMIA, AND HUNGARY. We are still without any direct communications from Vienna. It appears, however, beyond a dot.bt that it has been attacked and bombarded by WIN DISCMGRATZ, and that his troops have suffered se verely, and when the last accounts left had failed to make themselves masters of the town. JELLACHICII has been compelled to retire, and the citizens are de• termined to destroy the city rather than surrender. The defence of Vienna can only be paralleled by the defence of Saragossa. The Breslau Gazette, of the 29th ult., gives the following letter from Vienna :—" A report was spread that the city had surrendered to Prince WINDISCII - ATZ on the 25th October, but this turns out to be false, as appears by the following letter, dated Lungerburg, Oct. 26 The brave Viennese are everywhere conquerors up to the present moment ; they maintain a murderous fire. The Austrian officers say, if it khou:d continue they will not have sufficient troops left to take the city. 11 ( re are only 150 men alive of the chasseurs who a tt ac k ed the ei'y by the Prater. Yesterday, between four and five o'clock, Prince WrelDrscir ccfientne t sc the 11,GRATZ was f orce d to susrend the attack by the want of powd er f or the small arms.

It f • xp• - •(..ted that a convoy y musk: a's to use of aTnniunition would start from 011mutz fo Vienna on the 27th. They are also in want visions. The firing will recommence this evening, and we expect a terrible night. WINDISCAGRATZ is continually pouring bomb shells into the city.: The great steam-mills on the Danube and the large edifice called the Swiss Buildings, have been burnt down. The Viennese fight like lions. The Imperial Castle (Burgers), the Bank, the University, and even the Cathedral of St. Stephen, are all mined. JELLA cnicu has retired. The Imperial pioneers attempted to carry a small redoubt near Florisdorf, but the Viennese destroyed it." The Berlin Deutsche Reform of the 30th publishes in a supplement the following letter from Breslau, for the authenticity of which, however, it will not pledge itself, and which, even if authentic, is but the ex parte statement of one of the pupils of METTERNICH, who, like his master, is no doubt exceedingly adroit in " dressing up " a statement, but even, according to this, the most favourable account for WINDISCUGRATZ, the Viennese have annihilated one batallion of his army, and he is not yet in possession of the city• The letter is as follows : "Breslau, Oct. 29, 4 P.M. " The following telegraphic dispatch was yesterday sent to 011mutz, and has arrived here to-day by the pas senger train from Vienna:— "' General Wilts to the Minister Von Wesienberg in 011mu:s. Yesterday, Oct. 28, at eleven o'clock, Field Mar shal Windischgratz made an attack from all sides. Tho battalion Schonhels, which, at, the entrance of the In gerzcil, stormed the first barricade, which was guarded t.y 12 guns, has been completely d es t ro y e d Th e barri cade was afterwards carried by the Jagers and grena diers. The military have penetrated as far as the Karls Theatre. The suburbs Lvuisentrasse and Franze Alice are in flames. The leaders of the students have fled.'" The Prussian Staats Anziegrer, of Octobsr 31, says the above is so far confirmed by authentic intelli gerce that the bombardment and attack of the city commenced on the morning of the 28th, soon after ten o'clock. Respecting the events s hich imme diately preceded it we have received the following intelligence from the environs of Vienna : " Prince Windischgratz had twice extended the time for deßeration—the last term expired on the evening of the 27th. On that day there was an almost entire ces sation of arms. Two large fires were seen iu the city or its immediate vicinity. The Prince had notified to the Communol Council that he should consid r it re• sponsible for a'l the damage which might be sustained by the city from the necessary measures of violence. Some individuals who eFeaped from the city with the g.-eatest difficulty, stated that the armed people forced their way even into the inns, and forced strangers to tyke part in the combat. " The Hungarians were posted on the 27iti nit,, with, it said, 40,000 men, on the other side of the Leitha." The Hanoverian Zeitaug of the 30th, in the after- I:°", says, "We have just learnt, from undoubted authority, that WINDISCBGRATZ has entered Vienna and disarmed the Aula, and that JELLACUICII has fallen hack southwards; that the EMPEROR, in a ma nifesto, guaranteed the liberties promised to the city, and the continuance of the Diet in Vienna." The date of this intelligence is of itself a proof that the statement must be premature. In Preran the report was current on the 28th that Vienna was bombarded ; but it was not g' nerally believed. At Oderherg travellers, who arrived there from Vienna on the 29th, stated that the terminus of the Northern line was occupied by 5,000 men, and th a t the first bombs were thrown into the city on the even ing of the 28th. At Ratisbon the intelligence was very similar, with the additional assertions, that the city was bombarded nearly throughout the whole day; that many streets were on fire, and that the flames could be seen at a distance of three miles off. A later report, given by the Berliner Nachrichten, as the lastititelligence;runs thus :—"From Florisdorf, Oct. 29.—Several of the suburbs of Vienna are lying in ashes. Negotiations have commenced." The deputation from the Vienna Diet succeeded in obtaining an audience of the EafrEston at 011mutz on the 28th. His MAJESTY refused to listen to their protest against the adjournment of the Diet, but pro mised to re-consider his determination for its convo cation at Kremsir. The deputation hacragain set off, but the Minister KRAUS had remained behind, and was to follow by special train. The Hungarians haie come from Pesth to Pres burg with nine steamers and 18 tow boats ; they had on 'hoard about 8,000 scythemen, who were for the third time approaching Vienna. We also learn from 011mutz thatthe EMPEROR has appointed Baron DonLuorr Minister of Public In eruption, Prince SCHWARTZENBURG Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Under-Secretary MATER Minister of Public Works ; Busu is to retain his portefeuille as Minister of Justice. RATISBON, Om 31, P.M.—The Vienna train ar rived this morning at half-past nine o'clock, and brought a traveller from thence on his wav to Cra cow. He stated that he had succeeded in making his escape from the city two days before, but gave us in formation as to what occurred there up to last night at a late hour, which he had obtained from a Vienna student. This young man stated that yesterday after noon he was taken prisoner by the soldiers, and was to have been hanged, but happily for him he was known to the major, and at his intercession, not only his life, but his liberty was granted him, and he was imme diately sent under an escort to the railway station, to e T s e h n e t l t a o te h s i t s i p u a t r e e ll n ig ts en a e t e T ersees h pee n ciing Vienna was as follows :—That four of the suburbs, namely, Lich tenthal, Landstrasse, Jagerzeil, and Erdberg are in flames, t o h n a t h t o h t eh sides cann otnharde ou g continued d a w y • i t ; h t o h u e t missiontroops are in possession of the nort h ern l i ne, and have not yet a g succeeded erzei a tremendousi n taking barricade ofthe h a s u s b beenur b s . erected, In the j defended by eight cannon and as many companies of burghers. A perpetual fire is kept up against the enemy, but they were beginning to husband the powder. There was still a supply of provisions. The western conduit, which is in the hands of the enemy, has not been destroyed. The dead are bu ried in the glacis, as the churchyard is • d the enemy. Unfortunately, there has been an encounter in the streets between the tri-coloured and the two-coloured Burghers, in which ,the latter were overcome, after they had set the streets on fire. This is, however, a solitary instance, as otherwise great harmony prevails. A captain in the National Guard has been hanged, because he wanted to inform the enemy of an intended sally from Nussdorf. There is no want of money. The Bank has not yet been attacked. 70,000 florins, which were destined for the military, have fallen into the hands of the National Guards. JELLACHICH and AIIERSPERG stand southwards. and WINDISCHGRATZ northwards. _ _ The Polish Legion has had considerable losses al .he Prater—from 60 to 70 dead. The Prague Zeitung contains the reply of the EM PEROR to the Moravian Diet and that d u ty "I see w ith p l easure t h at t he Moravian Diet has full confidence in m y paterna l sentiments and views for my People. It i s extremely pa i n f u l to me that the capital of Vienna has beco me t h e t h ea tre of such fearful disorders, the prot ect i on of the right-m i n d e d, a nd the restor a ti on of compels me to adopt severe measures for pence and legal order. Nevertheless, I cannot resign the hope tha t i it may yet be possible to lead beck my capital to peace and obedience, without having recourse to ex treme measures." The EMPEROR has also written an autograph letter to the Vice- President WOGROWSKY, in reply to the congratulation upon his MAJESTY'S arrival on hi, national soil, by a deputation of the Diet to Se lowitz "Dear Baron Wogkowsky,—lf the' reception given me by the Moravian people has already soothed my deeply oppressed heart, I received even mere comfort from the expression of its attachment and faithfulness, by the representatives of the United Diet in sj loyal and cordial a manner. " While 1 express my thanks to the united representa tives of the country for this proof of their affection, may they rest assured that the remembrance of thc unehaken truth and devotion with which the Margravito of Mo ravia faithfully stood at the side of my forefathers in all the portentous eras of older times are vividly im presstd upon my mind, and now depending on them, I have repaired with confidence into the midst of my Mo ravian and - Sileda n people. " May the representatives of Moravia tiu-st my Im perial word, with which I hereby reiterate to them the maintenance of their liberties already sanctioned by me, and assure them of my Imperial favour.

The Congress of the German Democrats, assem bled at Berlin, adopted, during the evening sitting of the 29th ult., the following resolutions :—" 1. The Assembly considers the cause of Vienna its own. 2. An appeal shall be made in the name of the A ssembly." The Zeitungshalle, of the 30th ult., says that during the sitting of the National Assembly of that day the Commission of Priority pro posed an extraordinary sitting to deliberate on a proposition concerning the events at Vienna, con ceived as follows :—" To invite the Ministry to use for the protection of liberty, compromised at Vienna, all the means of the State." The motion was car ried by 181 to 168. DENMARK. OPENING OF THE DIET.-THE KING'S SPEECH. COPENIIAGEN, OCT. 25.—111 s Majesty the KING opened the Diet on the 23d with the following speech from the throne : " Men of Denmark, " It is a great j.,y and comfort to me, for the first time, to be surrounded by the elected representatives of my faithful Danish people. " The love and unanimity with which they 'upheld the cause sacred to me and the country, in the perplexing days since I hare ascended my father's throne, are to me a pledge that a better time will soon dawn upon our suf fering country, which has been so severely visited by violence and dissension. " With a deeply-felt remembrance of Ouse past days, I now proceed to discuss with the representatives of my people that Constitution which, by my free Royal re solve, I promised them, by which it is my desire, my hope, and my pride to consolidate the ancient glory and happiness of Demark. _ submit to you, by my Ministers, to whom I re serve the free access to the Assembly, and the right of taking the lead therein, if you find it necessary, the draft of this law of the Constitution ; and I rely im ,plicitly on your faithful and energetic co-operation, in order that a conclusive arrangement of this important affair _may be accomplished by the present, Diet, who are here assembled for that purpose. Should this, how ever, not be the case, it is nevertheless not my intention to let that Constitution come into operation until I have first submitted it to a new Diet. " May the blessing of God rest upon you and your endeavours, so that our beloved country may obtain honour, happiness, and peace." At the conclusion of this speech the whole As sembly gave a long and reiterated shout of " Live Kongen 1" The KING returned thanks, and quitted the hall amidst continued cheers. On the 29th the project of the new Constitution was published. It is composed of eight tedious, divided into thirty paragraphs. The legislative power is to be exercised by the KING and by the Diet. The royal law of succession remains in force, and can only be altered by a majority of two•thirds of the Diet. In default of a successor to the thr,no, the Diet will elect a King and fix the order of suc cession. The electoral body to embrace all natives of thirty years of age, with a good reputation. ITALY. Some disturbances took place at Trieste on the evening of the 23d ult., but were promptly repressed. The .Arational Savoisien of the 30th ult. announces that the Congress of the Federal Association, which met at Turin, terminated its labours on the 28th, and voted the federal compact. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. ALLEN. This was a quo warrant° calling upon tho th fondant to show cause by what authority he exercised the office of one of the Aldermen of the borough of Southampton. The case was tried at IVinchester before Mr. Justice Coleridge during the last assizes, when a verdict was found for the detendant, with the leave of the Learned Judge to enter a verdict for the Crown upon one of the issues. Mr. BUTT now, moved in accordance with the leave re served, and stated the grounds on which he did so. On the 9th of November last there was a vacancy for five Aldermen. There were eight or nine candidates, the defendant being one of them. He had eighteen votes, and a person named Lefevre had fifteen. It was con tended that his election was bad under the Act, inas much as he held the office of assessor. The question, therefore, turned upon the point whether those who voted for Mr. Allen were aware of the fact. The Learned Judge told the jury if the parties were aware of the fact before the election, and forgot it at the time they voted, or were never aware of it, that they must find for the defendant. They accordingly did so. The Learned Counsel contended that this was a most dan gerous doctrine, and amounted to not rendering men responsible for their duties, if they excused themselves by saying that they bad forgotten them. The COURT took time to consider the evidence. EXCHEQUEIt.-- , (THIS DAY.) WGREGOIt V. REUEL This action was tried before the Chief Baron at the last sittings after term at Westminster, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, damages 3001. Mr. CROWDER moved fur a new trial, or fora nonsuit, or for leave to enter the verdict tor the defendant. The action was brought to recover an attorney's bill of costs incurred by the committee of the Midland Grand Junc tion Railway Company, of which the defendant was a member. The CounT, having listened to the arguments of the Learned Gentleman refused to grant the application. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY. MONAGHAN V. WALTER AND OTHERS. The plaintiff in this case was a Parliamentary reporter, and the defendants the proprietors of the Morning Ad vertiser. The case was tried before the Chief Justice at the last sittings at Guildhall, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 81. Bs. Mr. Sergeant BYLES now applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside. The action was brought by the plaintiff to rcco• ver four weeks' salary, which he alleged was due to him in fulfilment of an annual engagement entered into with the proprietors. It appeared at the trial that the plain. tiff, upon the recommendation of Dr. Sheridan, the editor, was appointed by the managing committee of the paper a sessional reporter for 1146. He continued to hold that appointment some time after Parliament rose; but was dismissed titer a month's notice, four weeks before the termination of the twelve months: The trial hl thatthe Learned Judge directed the jury to find whether it was a yearly or only a sessional hiring, and the jury found that it was the former. He also put it to them whether the contract was made with the Corporation of Licensed Victuallers,tasdne : t ie o carors ano w ttni h eoan i al c di h i.w.d t a h stT e h nah p toe a t belongs , p aLs e pe r ratohryneereded bwsyea rtsgh o eernaofinw finding dt written stated t l e f defendants, who are the registered proprietors ; and the intot twrii jury were inasmuch s o m p opinion that s i t it was was not sentered at dents had anything personally to do with the contract, pdttthhhleaeaef, iet jndnut:dirhiffaeyenn, which nag necessary under the 4th section of the statute of frauds, for services extending over a year, the plaintiff ought to be non•suitcd. The COURT granted a rule nisi. BO W-STREE Irishman, DAY was r a r th .— leti ( c T y li oun i : Thomas Mardy, an charged before Mr. Jardine, with cutting and maiming Michael Murphy. It appeared that both parties reside in adjoining houses in Langley -court, Long Acre, and for some cause or other their respective families have been at variance. Last night the prisoner went into• the prosecutor's room, and asked for some warm water, which Murphy's sister refused to give him, whereupon he swore that he would have it in spite of her, and laid hold of the kettle. Murphy went to hinder him, and .being a much larger and stronger man, Fuelled him away from the fire place, and desired him to leave the room. The prisoner pulled open the table-drawer in which he knew the knives and forks were kept, and took out a knife, ‘s ith which he struck the prosecutor, who was endeavouring to put him out, across the arm, and inflicted a long gash above the wrist through his coat and shirt-sleeves. The, prisoner said that he bad no intention of stabbing the prosecutor, but that the latter wounded himself in striving to take the knife from him. Mr. Staggles, the house-surgeon of Charing-cross Hospital, said that it was a very severe cut, and would keep the prosecutor from his work for at least a month ; but it was not likely to be attended with any danger. The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday. THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.—Yesterday morning the Lord Mayor elect (Sir J. Duke), accompanied by the Sheriffs and other City officers, proceeded to the resi dence of lila Lord Chancellor, for the purpose of re ceiving in t. Majesty's approbation of his election. Shortly after eleven the company arrived ; and after the usual formalities, Sir J. Duke was introduced to his Lordship, who was pleased to express her Majesty' s en . tire approbation of the selection made by the cit•zers of London in electing the worthy alderman to fill the civic chair for the ensuiugrar. PRESENTATION — DINNER OP Tun LOR D M AYOR ELECT.—Sir James Duke, M.P., the Lord Mayor Elect, entertained a large party, last ev< flin g , at t h e Al on, on the occasion of his presentation to Ve Lord Chancellor to receive the gracious approval of her Ma jesty. Messrs. Staples provided a splendid dinner, to wh.ch the company sat down soon after six o'clock. Among the guests were Sir William Burnett, Aldermen W. T. Copeland, M.P., Sir G. C arro ll , J. Ilumphery, M.P., Gibbs, Farneomb, Musgrove, Challis, Sid ne y, Moon, Alderman and Sheriff Finnis, and Sheriff Good hart ; the Under-Sheriffs, the Town Clerk, City Soli , citor, Mr. Commiesiontr Bullock, J.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bales, with a steady market for most sorts.—The railway sham market was lower again. The following remarks upon the state of the London colonial mark' te are furnished by Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury : " In the foreign and colonial markets during the early part of last month there was a large amount of business done; the quantity of produce brought forward was immense; dealers, however, refused to purchase at any material advance in prices, but at previous rates they bought freely, and business generally assumed a better tone. This state of things was, unfortunately, quite dispelled upon receipt of news respecting the disastrous condition of affairs in Germany, which bad a most de pressing effect upon the markets. The arrivals continue large, and the stocks are greater than they were at this time last year. The deliveries for home consumption have considerably increased, which is satisfactory. Importers have evinced a strong desire to realise, even at declining prices ; yet dealers purchase only for their immediate wants ; indeed, exi erience bas shown for some time past this has been the only way of safely transacting business under the almost constant downward tendency of prices. From the manufacturing districts in Lan cashire the accounts are rather more favourable within the last week, and prices are improving ; the chief part of the business now doing is for the India and China markets, the last advises thence being considered most favourable, as also those from the LTeited States. From the woollen districts the reports are, upon the whole, satisfactory, although there has been a considerable falling off since our last." From Manchester we have a report of the man ufacturing markets, from which we give the following:—" Consider ing the character of the month, its transactions have again been principally for exports, the demand for the country trade having throughout it been of a limited extent, although exceeding very considerably that which might have been expected. There is, as yet, no material increase of stocks, on the contrary, with a few excep tions in both cloth and twist, they may be pronounced generally light, and that in the absence of any diminu• tion in the production. Prices, as we stated in our last report that they probably would be, are in every instance lower than what they were at the end of September, and the generality of them ranging below the lowest rates previously known. To-day they have not only become firmer, owing to a slight advance in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, but in come instances a trifling ad vance was asked and obtained." The llamburgh mail has arrived, and brings intern _ __. gene° of the conflict having commenced at Vienne, whe• thee to terminate in a bombardment is a question yet to be solved, and respecting which all parties here, in any way connected with Germany, aro extremely anxious. The Corn Market is firm to-day, but tbere is no alter ation in prices. In the Colonial and general produce markets there is more activity to-day, but the sellers meet the buyers too freely to allow of any material improvement in prices, or of a small advance only that can be deemed permanent. The Funds have been higher again this morning, the effect of the Bank of England discount reduction being favourable. Consols have been done as high as 86i for Money, and are since 86-1 to Exchequer-bills nave touched 395. to 435. premium. Bank Stock has been 169 i.
