And, besides, do you not see that in giving to each citizen the right to choose his head, you give him at the same time the right to judge and to punish ? I now stop, gentlemen, not because I have exhausted the series of considerations which I had to bring forward in support of the opinion I defend, but because the clock warns me to come to a close. I. stop, therefore, declaring to you that for my part I have confidence in our Republic, in the rights which it has given to all citizens, and in the respect which they will feel in exercising them. For my part, I have thrown into this Repnblic my whole lite—my whole soul—all that I have of strength and will.— (Rear, hear.) r firmly believe that all they who had the unspeakable happiness of proclaiming with me the republican era, will protect it with all their powers. If there are dangers in consulting the masses—if the multitude can be fascinated and led away, we shall perhaps perish.—(Cries of " No, no.") I say perhaps ; but should the Republic perish and we with it, we shall exclaim, with the conquered hero of Pharsalia, " Victrix causa diis placuit, sed victa Catoni,' and posterity shall be our judge.—(Loud applause, which lasted for some time.) It being now past six, the Assembly rose. This speech is the subject of comment, of eulo gistic comment, in all the journals. The Bien Public thus glories in the triumph which has been achieved by its great leader— "At this moment, when the whole Assembly, carried away in this torrent of eloquence, still vibrates with admiration of one of the finest victories that logic, that reason, inspiration and wisdom had ever achieved in any tribuae, we feel all the reserve which our old friendship for M. de Laraartine imposes on us. Yes, we who have remained faithful to him through all the vicissitudes of his popularity, in his good and his adverse fortune, be cause we see in him the living idea of the Republic, we cannot give expression to the personal emotion which we felt at this speech, we can merely state the effect of it. The effect was, and we do not fear a contradiction from any one who was present, that that admirable discourse produced in the Assembly not only admiration, but con viction." The Debats says that the system of M, DE LAMAR TINE is "undoubtedly the most in ccnformity with logical reasoning and republican principles --it is marked by a certain nobleness and grandeur. 11.1. DE LAMAUTINE defended it with a marvellous eloquence; and in particular was triumphant in his refutation of the contrary systems." The Presse thus describes the effect which the eloquent outpourings of the Poet-Orator produced on the Assembly : " The Assembly allowed itself to be led away by the eloquent language used, and when he said that the Pre sident, if elected by the Assembly, would only be the band of the dial to mark its will and caprices, applause burst forth from every part of the hall. But M. do La martino went on to show how envy would attack the mo tives of the persons voting for the President —one, be cause he was a relative; another, a friend; and a third, because he wanted an embassy! ! I At these words shouts of approbation - issued from every bench, and the Assembly, rising by an electric movement,_ rushed rotted the tribune, disputing with each other to grasp the hand of the eloquent speaker; amongst the most foremost we beheld MM Dpclerc, Garnier-Pag, s, and Pagnerre." The National thus explains the reasons which in duce the Government to support the election of the frst President by the Assembly. It will be seen that those who are opposed to M. DE LAMARTINE on the present occasion only argue the question as one of expediency, they admit that in principle M. DE LA MARTINE is right. The National says— " Justly alarmed at the perils which may be caused to the young Republic by the immediate election of the President, we are disposed to accept a middle course, a temporary measure, which, as we have already said, con jures away without any compromise of principle the transitory dangers of the situation. We humbly admit that the weakness of our mind does not go the length of saying—' Perish the Republic rather than a principle!' We do not, in fact, believe that respect for principles should place in peril the Government which is the object of all our views, all our efforts; but it it were true that such a circumstance should demand, in its application, the postponement of a proclaimed truth, we should resign ourselves to the case, as we have already done in other occasions. We have no other thought but to pre serve the Republic, because it is the most perfect form of government that we are acquainted with, be cause it alone appears to us to contain the safety of France for the present, and its development and pro gress for the future. The general interest is our only moving power, and if we are democrats, it is because our instinct and our reason have shown us that out of the pale of popular sovereignty, there is for nations only disorder or usurpation. What, then, do we seek in the difficult question of the presidence ? The conciliation of principle and fact. But there is nothing to oppose that conciliation. The Assembly decides that the Pre sident shall be nominated by direct universal suffrage, but on account of present difficulties in the interest of public safety, it modifies, it temporarily adjourns the exercise of the right. We are quite aware that absolute minds reject these solutions de eirconstance, but general good sense accepts them, and we consent willingly to be mistaken with it. It has been often said that reasoning carried to excess may lead to absurdity. In metaphysics an error is reparable—in politics it cannot be the same. Human societies live by compromises; they tend to absolute good, but they aro governed by relative ross!- bilities. Such is the infirmity of our mind that what is true in principle, from deduction to deduction, terminates sometimes in the most dangerous falsehood when it is applied in all its logical rigo — ur." If we may judge from the following, which appears in the Union, the besotted Bourbons of the elder branch are just where they were sixty years since— they have learned nothing, they have forgotten nothing : " M. de Lamartine might have abstained from putting into his inventory of pretenders, as candidates, the legi timate heir to the house of France. He might have dispensed, he was bound to dispense, with naming him, for sill fear on this head is, to say the least, superfluous, not to say absurd. What, the heir of Henry IV. and Louis XIV. put forward as a competitor to M. Ca vaignac, or any other aspirant to the Republican Presi dency! The heir of Henry IV. and Louis XIV. de scending from the heights of monarchical principle, to have his crown stamped with the stamp of the Republic! There can be no serious fear of that. The Republic has nothing to do with the Monarchy; the Monarchy, in those who represent it, has nothing to do with the Republic. It was, then, to say the least, useless to place the representative of the true principle of monarchy on the list of candidates for the Presidency of the Republic." There is something exceedingly rich in the indig nant outbreak about " the heir of HENRY IV. and Louis XIV." being put forward "as competitor to M. CAYAIGNAC, or any other aspirant to the Republican Presidency." It almost equals in its absurdity the pathetic complaint of the Queen of ETRURIA on the indignity to which she, a Princess of the House of Bourbon, had been compelled to submit, when, on one occasion during her flight from the revolutionists, she had been actually obliged to eat her dinner off a porcelain plate. The Democratic Pacifique, while applauding the principles laid down by M. DE LAMARTINE, doubts the policy of carrying them out in their entirety at the present moment. It says-- 4 We applaud the deductions which M. de Lamartine drew from that formula full of the future —popularity is the entire power. Yes, the sympathy of a grateful and enlightened people will be one day the only consecra tion, the sole force of the powers, and the Government thus consecrated will be stronger than the best armed t) rannies. But we separate ourselves from M. de Lamartine when, even without taking into conside ration the actual state of the country, he declares in favour of the nomination of the President by the electors. Citizens the most eminent, the most dis interested, and the most devoted to the country, may, without knowing it, submit themselves to the influence of personal situation. Did M. de Lamartine, in eulogis • ing the understandings and the patriotism of the whole electoral body, think that he was himself one of the most worthy candidates fer the Presidentship, and that this candidateship had less chance within the Assembly than out of it ? In getting rid successively of all the preten ders to that post, or of all who were suspected of being so, including M. Louis Napoleon, did he wish to clear the road for himself ? We can scarcely dare to think so, but there are many who will not hesitate to say it, they will even add that Providence, in giving to M. Thiers skilfulness and dexterity for strokes of political address, and in endowing M. de Lamartine with frank ness, generosity, and poetry in his heart, and with an honourable want of tact, has notwithstanding given to the latter the better portion." What the Democratic at the conclusion of this ar ticle hesitatingly insinuates the Republique "openly and advisedly" says, viz., that the speech was intended as an electioneering address. "M. dE LA M A RTINE ," says the Republique, " was powerful, and rarely has he ever reached and supported such a height of elo quence. It has been said of M. TRIERS that he made ministerial speeches; may it not be now said that M. DE LAMARTINE made a presidential one. It is a manifesto of candidateship hurled from the tribune. Assuredly, if generosity of ideas, grandeur of forms, and all the seductions of oratorical art were sufficient to make a political man, no one would have more legitimate right to our votes than the poet-orator. Unfortunately these brilliant qualities are not enough for the necessities of the present state of things. It is necessary to have a man of idea and action, of vigour and of se]f-denial, to place at the head of the Republic ' • it is a man of principle that is required. M. DE LAMARTINE cannot be that man ; he is too easily acted on, too variable ; he is like the Eolian harps, which send forth their sounds no matter from which side the wind blows." This magnificent oration has finally settled the question. Several Members of the Assembly who were waverers, announced that, convinced by the eloquence and the logic of M. DE LAMARTINE they should vote with him. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY WV ENING, OCTOBER 9, [B4B. At the conclusion of the sitting on Saturday, it was determined by a majority of 602 to 211, that the President should not be elected by the Assembly, an amendment proposed by M. GEYRY to the effect that there should be no President of the Republic having bean previously rejected by a majority of 643 against 158. There still remain upwards of eighty articles of the Constitution to be voted. It is supposed that they will be voted in about a month, and that then the election of President will take place. The Union, in its number of Friday, having stated that Lord NORMANBY had had a long conference with General CAVAIGNAC, in which the intentions o f the English Cabinet were completely explained ; that Great Britain had come to an understanding with the Cabinet of Vienna ; and that the Italian question was decided on in a sense not in accordance with the engagements of General CAVAIGNAC towards the National Assembly, the Moniteur of Saturday says— " The Union has published an account of a pretended conversation between General CAVAIGNAC and Lord NORMANDY. All the details given by the Union are completely false." The ilaroniteur adds—" The Go vernment cannot take on itself to contradict all erroneous assertions ; it will be, therefore, wrong to infer that because a statement is not contradicted it acquires a character of authenticity." A letter from Perigueux, of the 4th, states that 200 men of the 35th regiment of the line and a brigade of gendarmerie had that morning marched to St. Pierre-de Chignac, where fresh disturbances had broken out, in consequence of the collection of the 45c. tax. The Procureur of the Republic and an examining magistrate have also proceeded thither, to institute inquiries. The Committee on Algeria, on Friday, examined a proposition relative to the creation of departmental colonies in Algeria, which has been referred to it by the Assembly. Every department would be called on to found in Algeria an agricultural colony, farm, or village, which should bear its name. The Council- General would determine the number of persons it should contain, and regulate its internal organization and its chiefs, securing to it, by means of subscrip tions from private individuals, towns, and from the department, a sufficient capital to support it for eighteen months. The author of this proposition, M. BRUNET, developed his plan before the Committee, who received it favourably, as completing the Bill on colonization just voted by the Assembly. The Presse, speaking of the place to be fixed for the negotiations on the affairs of Italy, says : " The difficulty of reconciling the views of the belli gerent powers has suggested to the French Government the idea of proposing as a place of meeting for the Con gress, a territory which is entirely neuter, namely, Rome. If we are well informed, it was in the council of Ministers held the day before yesterday, at the residence of General Cavaignac, that it was unanimously decided to propose this choice to England and the belligerent powers. The same evening couriers were sent off for London, Turin, and Vienna, to get the adhesion of the respective courts, whose answers we shall know by. and bye. In the meantime we know from goad sources that England and France with to restrict the diplomatic ne gotiations to the proportion of Ministerial conferences, which differ essentially from the meeting of a congress. Thus the separation of Belgium, the question of the East, and others, were regulated by means of confer ences specially established at London between the British Cabinet and the powers most deeply interested in the question. In such a case it is the habit in diplo mac)), that the final result should be simply brought to the knowledge of the other courts of Europe, not to ob tain their sanction, but merely to give them the infor mation." BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, OCT. 7. THREE O'CLOCK.— The business done at the Bourse to-day was very Bruited, but the Funds maintained their prices pretty well. The Railway Shares, how ever, continued to droop, which is hardly to be won dered at, considering that money can be invested in the Funds at prices yielding a higher rate of intereA than anything that could be hoped, even in ordinary lines, from these speculations. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have risen 10 c.; Five per Cents. are the same as yesterday; Loan has risen sc. For Money, the Three per Cents. have risen 5c., Five per Cents. 10e., and the Loan 25c.; Bons du Tr6sor are at 23 to 22i discount. Bank of France Shares have risen sf. Belgian Bank Shares not quoted; Five per Cents. have risen If. Spanish Active is quoted at 134; Three per Cents. remain at 234; Passive is at 24. RlJ man remains without any change. Rothschild's Receipts have risen y per cent. Exchange on London (30 days), 25f. 40c. ; ditto (90 days), 251. 20c. Railway Shares continued very weak. Orleans have fallen 7f. 50e., Rouens 2f. 50c., Havres 21. 50c., Vierzons 2f. 50c., Strasbourgs, 2f. 50e., Nantes Af. 25c., Northerns, Mar seilles, and Lyons maintain the prices of yesterday.

Count REVENTLOW also is to act ad interim, and a fifth member is to be chosen by them as President from among the neutral party, nominated by the Kings of DENMARK and PRUSSIA. Dr. STEDMANN is to introduce the Government here, which is to be recognised by the Assembly, which will probably be prorogued immediately after. According to the assertion of M. VON RIEDTZ the immediate commission is to be set aside. MONEY and COMMERCIAL N. 6 WS-. CITY, QUARTER TO Tfli ?EE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Sat= lay, was steady, but quiet. Sales, 4,000 bales.—ln 3 Railway Shares very little was done. Prices general ly were much lower again. Intermediate dates from South Australia to Oa a end of April, advert again in the highest terms, to the] regress of mining pursuits. The South Astralian Mira g Com pany, during the nine months ending the 7th at March, had paid five dividends, making 600 per cent., t pen the paid up capital, and it was the intention of the d irectors to pay 200 per cent. on the first day of es , er, y third month, being equal to 98,560/. per annum. B esi des this company the Greencck Creek, and others, A •er a doing excellently, and copper was found onl y a few feet below the surface of the grout id. Most valuable clay had been discovered in ; Ara tum at three different places, and it had been declare d 'by com petent judges that it could be worked to the fin est con sistency, so as to vie in quality with any of Cl tine manu facture. A statement of the foreign trade of France daring the eight months of this year, compared with the c orrespond log period of laet,!shows a great falling off in aim num ber of vessels employed. The arrivals come mired with the like period of 1847, were less by 779,568 tons, and the departures by 164,544 tons, an settraordi nary decay, even allowing for the extr a ordinary circumstances that occasioned it. In the stoclra of pro duce in the French Government warehouses, Ch ere was at the end of August, notwithstanding the dint inished arrivals, a very great increase, the strongest peas iblo il lustration we can have of the derangement of t usiness and its effect upon consumption. The Moniteur Beige denies that a new loan is; sehout to be brought out by the Government of Leopold. The vessels arriving from Hamburgh boin g now placed in quarantine, the attention of Govern mei it must be immediately directed to other places on the• continent whence the cholera may reach us. It is evide ns, for in stance, that a traveller from Hamburgh will now come over via Ostend, and as there are reports this . enorning of the disease having appeared on board a c att.le ship, there is no time to lose. Still alarm, we tl . ink, need not be entertained. It is precaution that is IN leded. The knowledge that the revenue returns. for the quarter closing to-morrow will be more sr itisfactory than could have been expected, and that there will be a decided increase upon the corresponding perio cl of 1847, has not counteracted the feeling of anxiety wb ion is ex pressed at the approaching election for Pr, ssiflent in France, but a more direct cause, we conceive s , may be the belief that the Chancellor of the Excht quer will have to sell stock, as the public deposits in tale Bank are greatly below what they were in October, 1847. The rapid depreciation in railway property wild _likewise compel sales of other securities better maintain ed in the market, and upon which, therefore, the sacri6 ce will be less. Consols opened at 86k I, and upon ss lFs being attempted, have dropped suddenly to 854. :Then_ e bar gains have been made as low as 85 i; Bank.. Stock is worth 192; Exchequer-bills of March have bean 325., and those of June 295. to 32v. premium. The Foreign Securities have been more deaf in than English Stocks; but sa les-are, being pressed, and the quotations are 'lower generally. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 24 to 24f; Brazilian.

Danish Three per Cents. have been 66 1 1 ; 'Belgian Four-and-a Half per Cents., 72; and Dutch Fur .per Cents., 69i ex dividend. The Railway Share Market is worse now than at any time this year. ,Sellers, both real and speculative, are, vicing with each other in . , forcing their securities upoii the reluctant jobbers, already oppressed by the b weight of Railway Stock brought; forward during the last eight or ten days ; and since there is no longer any reasoning upon the subject, ewe must assume that holders are either under, the influence of panic or suffer from want of pecuniary means. Even parties—and the badness of trade makcs them numerous—who anticipate a probable want of cash a month or two hence, are swelling the stream a sellers which, until arrested, will affright the man eh' means who otherwise would buy.

An extremely small supply of English Wheat was recm;ved up to our market last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage. The receipts of all other articles of bc,me preduce, including Flour, were trifling, yet of fair .average quality. Scarcely any grain reached us, either from Ireland or Scotland; neither is any worthy of notice expected to arrive hither for some time hence, as our market offers no temptations to the producers. The foreign importations, though not so extensive as in tl2e previous week, were large; viz. 23,671 quarters of Wheat; 12,539 ditto cf Barley; 10,701 ditto of Oats; 755 ditto of Rye; 783 ditto of Beans ; 1,1;94 ditto of Peas; 49 ditto of Tares; 13,025 ditto of Linseed; 751 ditto. of Rapeseed ; 2 ditto of Bran ; 137 ditto of Mustard-Seed ; 1,082 ditto of sundry other Seeds ; 1,402; barrels and 6,226 sacks of Flour. Fresh up this morning, we received a very moderate quantity of English Wheat from Essex, Kent, Cam brik:eshire, and the various other counties. The con ditio n of the principal portion of the supply was inferior, and unfit for grinding purposes, without a larger ad rcix•mre with foreign parcels. Th e a tt en d ance o f b ot h town and country buyers was by no means large. Se lect ad parcels of home-grown Wheat moved off readily at frilly last Monday's quotations. The middling and ill-scnditioned samples, however, were a very dull in qui,ry, at a decline in the prices of last week of fully is per quarter, and at which a total clearance was not effected. Notwithstanding the supply of fine foreign Wheat was large, the best descrip tions commanded a steady, though not to say brisk, sale at full rates of currency. In all other kinds, ex ceedingly little business was doing, at, in some instances, a decline in value of ls. per quarter. The principal portion of the sales effected to-day were for inland con sumption. No English Barley was at market, and the supply of foreign was far from extensive. Fine malting parcels were in steady request, at full rates of currency. Grinding and distilling sorts were dull, and is. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. Scarcely any foreign Barley is now under lock. Although the supply of all kinds of Malt was small, that article was very slow in sale, at unaltered quotations. Compat atively speaking, the supply of Oats was small. Really fine dry Corn moved off' steadily, at late rates. In all other kinds exceedingly little was doing, and, in some instances, the rates had a downward tendency. The sale for Beans was far from active, at last week's prices. White boiling Peas went steady, but other kinds of Peas were neglected. Indian Corn and Meal went quite as dear. In Flour we have no change to notice. The demand for it was slow.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 2d and 3d inst. have arrived. Senor PIDAL, the Foreign Minister, intimidated by the haughty position assumed by the American Minister:(fortunately for the United Statesthere are no great landholding Protectionists ready to sacrifice the honour of their country to keep up their rents on the other side of the Atlantic), has truckled to the " stars and the stripes," has apologised in the most humble manner for the proceedings of the police agents, who are to be punished and dismissed, and has exempted FERNANDO from military service. NARVAEZ, it appears, was aware that America had neither a House of Peers nor a Lord STANLEY, and that not even M. GUIZOT himself could bamboozle an American Senator, and therefore he wisely gave way in time. The Gazette of Madrid, of the 2d Oct., publishes the weekly account of the Bank of San Ferdinand : —2,925,800 reals of notes had been paid off, leaving the amount in circulation, 115,570,000. From the 25th to the 30th ult. there had been exchanged for cash 3,559,600 reals of notes. The Carlists in the Northern Provinces and in Catalonia are receiving daily reinforcements from France.

The most contradictory reports are circulated as to the state of affairs in Hungary. The Breslau Gazette quotes, from Vienna, a bulletin, which it says had been published there, of a battle between three re;i•. meats of Hugarians and a body of Croats under JELLACHICH, near Stuhlvveissenburgh, in which the Croats are said to hare been repulsed. According to the bulletin, however, the battle was not over when the accounts left. The Cologne Gazette, on the other hand, quotes a letter from Vienna of the Ist instant, mentioning a report that the Austrian Ministry had received news of the surrender of Buda to the Croatians, after a bombardment of two hours. The following is the bulletin alluded to by the Breslau Gazette, it is dated Sept. 30: — "Battle of Stuhlweissenburg.—The whole garrison of Pesth advanced towards Stuhlwcissenburg. Three regiments of hussars attacked the Croats. With heroic courage these brave hussars rushed upon the enemy ; blood flowed i❑ torrents, and many corpses strewed the ground. The army of Jellachich was driven back. The battle still rages, and the victory is still un certain." VIENNA, OCT. 3.—The widely-spread report of the entry of JELLACHICH into Ofen is not confirmed up to this moment. Our latest accounts from Pesth, dated Ist inst., state that he has made a lateral march with the main part of his army, and is already at Voroswar, consequently about a league and a half from Pesth. It is confidently asserted that the Ilungarian troops have retired towards Pesth. On 'Change to-day it was stated that the Hungarians had concluded an armistice of three days with the Croats. The last accounts from Pesth give a me lanc,holy picture of the state of that city. Baron VERG is appointed the future President of a new Ministry, but it is doubted whether he will under take the formation of a new Cabinet. The new manifesto of the EMPEROR is now looked for in Hungary. It is said that it is to be conter signed by F. M. Baron KRENS, who is also to be a Minister. It appears that the combined depart men t, agriculture and Trade, is to be separated, an d t h e latter confided to the Governor of Styria, Count WICKENBURG. A Vienna correspondence of the 2d, in the Berliner Nachrichten, says that JELLACHICH has been appointed by the EMPEROR General in Command of Hungary. The Pesther Zeitung, of the morning of the 30th, announced that the decisive battle had commenced. The Allgemeine Oesterreischische Zeitung asserts that a courier had announced to the people of Pesth that the Hungarians had triumphed at Veleneze, and that the Ban had retreated beyond the Platten Lake. It is asserted, too, that ESTERITAZY and PEREZELT at tacked the Croatians with 12,000 National Guards, and contributed to the " victory."_ The Breslau Gazette, under the head, Pesth, 29th September, says, " The city is perfectly tranq u il ; KOSSUTH, NYARI, PATAI, and ZEMBERI, govern ab solutely in the name of the Commission for the Defence of the Country. The situation of Baron JELLACHICH is becoming desperate; the Croatians desert en masse, but as we have less to do with him than with the Court, an armistice of four days has been granted him, during which we shall receive the answer to the ultimatum of our Government. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. KIEL, OCT. 3.—The Provisional Government, BADEN. The Posthampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date of Friburg, Ist, says that for the purpose of protect ing STRU VE from the fury of the soldiers of that place, he had been removed to the fortress of Rastadt. The soldiers, to the number of four hundred, assembled before the place where he was confined, and de manded that he should be delivered up to them, that they might execute him. The officers on duty dis played the greatest courage and energy, declaring that STRUVE should not be taken without passing over their dead bodies. In order to calm their fury, it was necessary to take STRUVE from his bed, and make him lie on straw. The next morning he was removed to Rastadt. FRANKFORT. Letters from Frankfort of the sth inst. mention that the state of siege still lasts, and that the troops were reinforced that day and kept ready for action. The city was in a state of great excitement. PRUSSIA. The following resolution, proposed by M. ROD.. BERIUS in the Prussian Assembly, has been carried by a msjority of 275 to 17. " The National Assembly declares that it must elicit an assurance, that in conformity with the law of the 28th of June (Frankfort), relative to the establishment of a Provisional Central Power, his Majesty's Govern ment will strenuously, and as in duty bound, co-operate with the Provisional Central Power and German Na tional Assembly in all such resolutions as they may adopt in regard to the threatened complications of the Danish question." This resolution involves the principle of submission on the part of the Executive of Prussia on every occa sion to the Provisional Central Power; in fact, it makes of the King of PRUSSIA a mediatised German Prince. According to an official return just published, the otal amount of voluntary loan has reached 104 mil ions out of the 15 millions demanded. BAVARIA. Fresh assemblages of the people took place at Munich in the evening of the 27th ult. They were dispersed by the cavalry, and several of them wounded. SWEDET. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 29 . —Yesterday being the an niversary of his MAJESTY'S coronation, he held a grand review of all the troops. The whole of the Royal Family were present to witness tho ceremony, and the weather was most propitious. • The health of the capital is perfectly good. 11A1VIB HAMBURGII, OCT. 4.—The electric telegraph com menced its operations to-day. This morning the names of the steamers which had gone to sea were telegraphed for the first time, and made known on Change. The speed and accuracy of the communica tion leaves nothing to be wished for. The liamburgh papers make no mention whatever of the health of the city.—Harnburgh Borsenhalle, Oct 5. SWITZERLAND. The following is a note from the Ambassador Of Austria to the Federal Directory of Berne : " The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary, &c., has had the honour to receive at the same time as the letter of the Federal Directory : of the 24th, the copy of the note which that authority addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Vienna. Conformably with the desire expressed by the Directory, the undersigned has done all that depended on him, witlP-a view of re establishing, as soon as possible, international con nexions and good feeling between the Lombardo-Vene tion kingdom and the Swiss confederacy. Such has been the object of his correspondence with Field-Marshal Radetzky, and his communications with Vienna, for if he be fully convinced of the loyalty of the intentions of the Federal Directory and the Confederation in general, the same conviction should also exist at Vienna and Milan. Marshal Radetzky has expressed his regret at the in terruption of good understanding, and admits that the later decrees of the Swiss Diet have been well inten tioned. As soon as the Marshall have the certitude of these decrees being acted upon and executed, he will revoke his orders. And this certitude the Commissioners of the Tessin can speedily procure him. (Signed) " B. DE KAYSENFELD. " Zurich, Oct. 1." ITALY. TUSCANY. The differences between Leghorn and the Tuscan Government still continue. The . Patria of the 30th ult. says—" We had hoped that legal Government would have been re-established at Leghorn, but it seems otherwise. The new Governor and authorities have been refused admittance at Leghorn and have returned to Florence They have made an official report to the Minister of the Interior, in which they state that so s oon as th ey h a d arr i ve d they found the Gonfalonier, who announced that their entry at Leg horn would certainly lead to disorders—that some of the most influential o f th e p eop l e h a d assured h i m that resistance would be offered to their reception, and that the people were coming armed to conduct them as prisoners to the fortress. The banker ADAMI, who had promised. to supply the necessary funds to the municipality had, from the fear of disor ders occasioned by their presen ce , w ithd rawn hi s promise. The chief of the municipality had gone to Florence to prevent their coming, and to communi cate the actual state of affairs to the Central Govern ment. The new authorities had therefore returned to Florence for new instructions. The new Gover nor, who was thus rejected, issued a proclamation, in which he says that he came to re-establish order, f psente rrae d himself without being accompanied by any ternity, and respect for the law. That he had force, and he offered on the part of the Prince a com ph l o e r t n e , a a m n n d e amnesty." .' is' said Perfect tranquillity o n r ewi s ll b eatseLnetgto the GRAND DUKE to endeavour to bring all differences to an amicable arrangement. LOMBARDY. The following address, says the Augsburg Gazette, has been issued at Milan, in the name of the Austrian Government : " In the hope of speedily beholding tranquillity .re stored in all the provinces of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and animated by the desire of causing their populations to participate in all the liberties enjoyedby the other provinces of the empire of Austria, we consider it right to at once make our intentions in that respect known. We have already accorded a com plete amnesty to all the inhabitants of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom, for the share that they may have taken in the political events of the present year; we have ordered that they shall be neither prosecuted nor punished, attention bei ng, p a id t o certa i n considerations at which it may be deemed necessary to stop in the confirmation of public employments. Our will at the same time is that th e i n h a bi tants o f t h e L om b ar d o - Venetian kingdom shall receive a Constitution, suited not less to their nationality, and to the wants of the country, than to their union with the empire of Austria. To that effect, as soon as order and peace shall have been sufficiently ensured, we shall convoke in a place to be hereafter designated, representatives of the nation, who shall be freely elected by all the provinces of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom." NAPLES. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 2d, mentions a rumour of a new insurrection in Calabria, and particularly in the provinces of Cosenza and Catanzaro, where a sort of political brigandage has been organized, in which the property of the Liberals is respected, and the Royalists only put under con tribution. WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.—In this branch of commerce but little novelty has been produced if placed in comparison with the gigantic efforts made in favour of cotton, its great modern rival; indeed, since the days when Alva and other Spanish persecutors drove the in dustrious Flemish artizan to our shores, causing us to be manufacturers instead of exporters of the raw material, but little progress can be traced; however, an entirely new make of cloth for Paletot purposes has been recently manufactured in this country for an eminent London firm, the Messrs. Nicoll of Regent-street, and else where; the principal advantages appear to consist in the amalgamation of foreign wool, to which the Vicuna and other members of the Llama tribe seem to have been chief contributors. The specimens now offered in the market are evidently intended for winter use, and present an unusual arrangement for a de fence against inclement weather, by means of the back of the cloth or that part when it is made into a Paletot which is not seen. This was suggested by, and made from, nature's model, for like the feathers of a bird or the fur of an animal, the several particles are attracted together upon the application of water, and the body is thus kept dry and warm. The injurious effects arising from the use of waterproofed materials may thus be obviated.—Gloucestershire Chronicle. MYSTERIOUS FIRES.—On Saturday Mr. Payne, Coroner, held a Court of Inquiry, respecting two very mysterious fires which occurred during the nights of Wednesday and Thursday last, upon the premises be longing to Mr. Samuel Jackson, an oil, colour, and varnish maker, No. 75, Blackman -street, Borough. The first fire was pretty clearly shown to be accidental; but with regard to the second it was ascertained that a quan tity of paper had been fired i❑ one of the cupboards, but by whom was a mystery. At the request of the jury the inquiry was adjourned for additional evidence. SMITHFIELD. Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were as under:— From Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves. Pigs.

At Hull and the other northern outports about 2,000 head of stock have come to hand, in, for the most part, average condition. Comparatively speaking, the supply of foreign beasts on offer here to-day was but moderate. That of Sheep 'and Calves was smaller than for some time past, and of very middling quality. The primest of each kind of stock moved off steadily, at full prices; but all other qualities were somewhat easier to purchase. About 1,000 head were landed from the Dutch steamers this morning. There was a considerable falling-off in the number of home-fed Beasts on offer here to-day, and their general quality was by no means prime, the time of year considered. As the dead markets were tolerably well cleared of their last week's arrivals, and the attendance of buyers—especially of those residing in the country—was good, the Beef trade was steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last, the primest Scots producing from 4s to 4s 2d per 81bs, being an advance in the quotations obtained on Friday of 2d per Sibs, and at which a good clearance was effected. We seldom recollect to have seen so few really prime Scots in the market at this season as to- day. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, including the Western and Midland counties, we received about 1,000 !Scots, Herefords, runts. Devons, Irish beasts, Sce. ; from the northern districts, 1,200 short horns ; from other parts of England, 350 of various ' breeds ; and, from Scotland, 40 Scots. Although the' number of sheep were on the increase, compared with those exhibited on Monday last, the supply of that des cription of of stock was very moderate, the time of year considered. On the whole the Mutton trade was in a very sluegish state, at a fall in the currencies of 2d per 81bs. The general top figures for the best old Downs rated from 4s led to 5s per 81b. With Calves we were scantily supplied, nevertheless the Veal trade was rather heavy, at prices about equal to those paid on Friday. Prime small Porkers moved off steadily at lute rates, otherwise the Pork trade was in a very sluggish state. Per 81bs. to Volt the offal. d. to e. d. s. d.

Cur markets continue to be well supplied with country-killed Meat. During the past week we received upwarda of 200 carcasses of Beef, 600 carcasses of Mutton, 220 carcasses of Veal, and 700 carcasses of Pork from various quarters. The supplies on offer, slaugh tered in the metropolis, are tolerably good. Prime Beef, Mutton, Veal, and Pork have been in mo derate nilquest, at full prices.

Our market is seasoably well supplied with new Hops of good colour. Selected parcels moved off slowly, at somewhat improved currencies; while the value of the secondary qualities is well supported. Yearling and old Hops are almost nominal in value. The duty is 205,0001. to 210,000/.

The demand for English, and the best qualities of Colonial Wool, continues steady at fully last week's q uo t a ti ons.

Two cases of robbery on the Eastern Counties Rail. way were this morning brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The first delinquent was a foreigner who gave the name of Hanway, and it appeared, from the evidence of Merton, an assistant police-inspector at the terminus, that at about half-past nine o'clock on Saturday night he perceived the prisoner lurking about the platform, and watched his proceedings. A train arrived, which for a moment obscured the sight he had of the pri soner, who, however, had also been noticed by a gentle man. A box, w hi c h was understood to contain a large amount of valuable property, and which had been brought up by the train, was deposited upon the plat form, which the prisoner no sooner saw than he called to a porter, and pointing to the trunk sa id, "T a k e t h at immediat e ly to a cab." The porter was hastening away with the property, followed by the prisoner, whose pro gress was, however, arrested by the gentleman, and he was taken into custody by witness. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the trans action, was remanded. T: e next prisoner was named Bastow, charged with stealing tw•o great coats from one of the first-class wait ing-rooms, at the above terminus, on the afternoon of Saturday. He had been watched by Kennedy, ono of the employe s of the company, who followed him into the street with the property in his possession. Witness asked him where he was going with the coats. Prisoner replied that he was going to take them to the " Lost Property Office." Witness then took him into custody. Mr. George Richardson, chief superintendent of the line, said he had been watching the prisoner for some time lurking about the platform previous to the robbery. The prisoner was remanded, in order to give time to make inquiries respecting him. EAST SURREY REGISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) Mr. Fish, the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the Eastern Division of the County of Surrey, held his Court to• day, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of revising the list of voters for the parishes of Streatham, Lambeth, and Clapham. Mr. Meymott appeared as the agent for the Conser vatives. Mr. Corner and Mr. Jeans were in attendance to pro tect the interests of the Reformers, and Mr. R. Russell attended to protect the interests of the Free Traders. The revision of the lists of voters for the parishes of Streatham, Lambeth, and Clapham did not possess a single point worthy of notice. The consideration of the case of Dr. Byber, who claimed the right of toting on account of receiving the pew-rent of a district chapel at Roehampton, and which :,as adjourned from Wandsworth to this Owe was pro ceeded with. Mr. Russell, on the part of the Free Traders, ob jected to the doctor's vote, on the groun d t h at the receipt of pew-rents did not constitute such a qualification as was required by the Reform Act. Dr. Byber attended the meeting, and stated that he had been six years incumbent of the chapel, and was greatly surprised at the objection that had been made to his vote. The Rev. Doctor produced his license as perpetual curate of the chapel, the Gazette in which the chapel was' registered, and the Act of Parliament un der which he claimed the right to vote. Mr. Russell submitted that, under the Act pro duced, Dr. Byber had no right to have a vote unless ho could clearly show that he had a legal right to let the pews in the church, and that it was incumbent upon parties to pay the rents to him. Dr. Byber said that her Majesty's Church Commis sioners had directed him to appoint church wardens to collect the pew rents, and that that was pretty clear evi dence that he was entitled to them. Mr. Frsa said he would read the documents produced by Dr. Byber, and when be had done so he would de cide the point. . _ _ Dr. Byber said that two years ago he had been ob jected to by a man at Wandsworth; he was now objected to by a man at Mitcham, and he felt convinced, unless the party objecting to his vote was visited with costs, be would be subjected yearly to the annoyance. Mr. FISH postponed his judgment. NEWMARKET RACES. NEWMARKET, SUNDAY NIGHT. ENTRIES FOR MONDAY. (First class) 50 sovs. Plate.; T.Y.C.

A man, named Saunders, employed in the Castle as a painter, and re siding in Cl ewer -l ane, had, with his son-in-law , engaged a boat for an excurs i on, and despite the warning of the boatman, incautiously ventured in that part of the river below the bridge where the current runs strong, and to the unskilful is always attended with danger. In this instance, the parties, on approaching this spot, lost all control over their direction, and impelled by the impe tuosity of the stream, were hurried with fatal and irre sistible speed towards the weir here crossing the river. Their screams and distracted cries for assistance on per ceiving their inevitable danger were most piercing and. incessant, sadly and gratingly contrasting with the joyous operatic air at the instant performing on the Castle-terrace by the cavalry band. Sympathising crowds were soon attracted on the bridge, along the banks, and upon the Castle walls, and some boats, punts, &c., were hastily put off ; but all their praise worthy efforts were ineffectual, and the wretched men, in the sight and amidst the muttered prayers of hun. dreds, were hurled over the obstruction—one of them, as the boat disappeared from under them, hastily clutched a part of the frame-work, and retained his hold until rescued from the shore. The father, uttering one imploring but unavailing cry of " William l" was carried away by the stream, and for some distance was seen. convulsively splashing, till at length he :wholly disap. peered, leaving a lamenting wife and family. At a late hour in the evening the body had not been recovered.. Such catastrophes are not unfrequent, and it should be for the consideration of the authorities whether some repressive regulations should not be adopted. A case of affiliation was heard at Hull on Thursday, in the magistrate's private room, before Mr. Cookham. and Mr. Palmer, justices of the borough. It was a com- , plaint preferred by Mi ss Ell en G as kill Ch apman , calling upon Lord Frederick Peter Charles Beauclerk, why be should not be adjudged the father of her illegi timate child, born at H u ll i n April last. She sa i d - that Lord which company, Frederi ck for an the d th a l t a s n two h e o r course three years o of O ehtaodb er hre h s e ul dt sought last _shhe: i unfortunately f s submitted m fe i m t te a d l e t c o h hi ild s caresses , in nApriilast. hic T fondant did not, we understand , deny having spent many hours in complainants company, but added his &sane. ante that he was not the father o f th e child. He was not at Bull at the time the complainant alleged the in.. tercourse to have taken place. The magistrates, after some discussion, agreed to adjourn the case, so as to hoar several witnesses which the noble defendant wished to have examined. THE QUARTER'S REVENUR.—Of the quarter's re. venue, which is to be completed on Tuesday next, it may be said that it bears favourable comparison with, the corresponding quarter of last year. There will, probably, be a net increase on the quarter of more than half a million; the chief source of which is the Ex cise, and, in a less degree, the Customs. There is Es falling off upon stamps of about a quarter of a million. THE MISMANAGEMENT OP HORSES.—OR Satur. day an inquest was held at the Tulse Hill Tavern, Tulse Hill, Lambeth, on the body of Mr. James Hill, a cow. keeper, aged thirty-seven, who was killed under the fol. lowing dreadful circumstances :—The deceased resided at Brixton, and on Wednesday had gone to the cemetery at Norwood, for a load of grass, with which he loaded his cart, and was on his return home with a neigh. bour, who accompanied him. When the cart reached Tulse Hill„;the deceased took the reins, and got on the shafts to keep the horse up in the descent. which is very rapid, but he found the weight in it forced the horse on, and he was unable, by mere pulling, to keep him in. Ho then most imprudently, in ord..r to obtain a greater purchase, put both his feet on the rump of the horse, but no sooner was this done than the animal commenced kicking most violently, pitched the unfortunate man off into the road, and, before his friend could render any assistance, the wheels passed over his head and crushed it in a frightful manner. The horse could not be stopped until he got into the hollow of the hill, near the above tavern ; surgical aid was promptly obtained for the deceased, but it was of no avail. His death was almost instantaneous. It was stated that on that day eight years a brother of the deceased had lost his life in nearly a similar manner, on Clapham Common. The Coroner and jury remarked on the singular fatality which had attended the two brothers by their management of horses, and a verdict of " Acci• dental death" was returned. SALE AT STOWE.—Saturday was the concluding day of the sale at Stowe. The amount produced up to the end of the first catalogue was 71,303/. 3s. 3d. In addition to this, Tuesday produced 2,471/. 10s. 6d.; Wed. nesday, 3214 15s. 6d.; Thursday, 4591. ss. 6d.; Friday, 5341. 9s. 6d.; Saturday, 4751. 101., making the stun realised 75,564/. 14s. 3d. The only habitable portions of the mansion at this moment are two or three rooms used by the Marquis of Chandos when at Stowe. The chapel has not escaped in the general wreck. The altar piece and the organ have both been sold, but the colours of the Royal Bucks Militia, bequeathed by the Marquis of Buckingham to the care of his descendants, which hang over the gallery are yet untouched. What is to become of the mansion and estate nothing authentic is known, though a variety of reports are iu circulation.
