The University of Cambridge has ma de a rapid stride in advance. The p rocee di ngs o f the Senate on Tuesday, the graces adopt e d i n b ot h h ouses by large and and decisive majorities, the p ar ti cu l ars whereof were contained in our impression of yesterday, will b e re ceived with approbation throughout the entire country. Henceforward every person aspiring to the honour of a degree from the University must devote some portion of Lis time to the acquisition of really useful knowledge, and opportunities of distinction are opened to those who, although they might not be qualified to take high honours in mathematics, or who could not aspire to ascend the Classical Tripos, would yet gladly devote the hours that, under the late system, were wasted in idleness, or, still worse, consumed in dissipation, to a pursuit better suited to their tastes and habits, and which may prove really valuable in th:., course of their future career. It is in youth only that the rudiments of many sciences can be attained. In more advanced years, when met, are emancipated from any control or discipline, and when a considerable portion of their time is required for the discharge of indispensable duties and daiiy avocations, few will submit! to the drudgery that must b 3 encountered before the first difficulties C3ll overcome. With the great majority a certain degree of coercion jos necessary to induce them to sftbmit to the toil and labour that is essential in the first instance. The approaches to any branch of learning are rugged and wearisome. When a little progress is made the path becomes smoother, diffi culties that at first appeared insurmountable are easily passed, an interest is speedily awakened, and the ascent is voluntarily .continued, until perhaps the very summit is attained, which would never have been commenced unless some power ful stimulus had been applied in the earlier stages of the journey. We are by no means disposed to slight or despise THE SUN, the advantages of mathematical acquirements, or of a thorough acquaintance with the rich stores of classical literature, that will survive through all time and all ages. The former exercises and matures the intellect, and prepares the mind for future exertion of almost any description ; the latter cultivates and refines the taste, gives a keen perception of the sublime and beautiful, and materially assists in developing that natural eloquence that may afterwards be required in the Senate, the bar, or the pulpit. But a mere superficial knowledge will not be sufficient, that which alone entitles its possessor to a place among the "of vciAAot," will be of little utility in after life. Men who, perhaps in their freshmen year, aspired to academical honours, and looked forward to taking a high degree, sunk into apathy on the first failure, and became disgusted with studies in which they could not hope to excel. No other portal to distinction was, however, open—no other branch of learning was recog nised by a proficiency in which they might be enabled to attain a prominent position. All study was then abandoned, or only followed sufficiently to avoid the disgrace of a " plucking" or the wooden spoon, and habits of indolence were acquired that operated most injuriously in after life, and blighted the prospects of many promising young men, the hopes of many fond and anxious parents. Such were the causes that made many a father fear to entrust his child to the chances of a residence at either of the eminent seats of learning. Such were the causes that deprived a university of its chief value, and in the great majority of cases, rendered it of little practical utility in after life Thy mathematical problems and the Greek and Latin authors were speedily forgotten, and nothing remained as an equivalent for the heavy expenses and the valuable time consumed in going through the under graduate course. Henceforward, however, things will be essentially changed. Reforms have been introduced, from which the most satisfactory results may be anticipated— they do not, perhaps, proceed to the extent we should have desired, but they are steps in the right direction, and will open the way to other and still more important alterations. They will not be the less acceptable either, for having been introduced under the auspices of the illustrious Chancellor of the University, the Prince Consort of our Most Gracious SOYBREIGN. Within little more than one single year from the inauguration of his Royal Highness these reforms were proposed and, stranger still, were carried intact by large majorities on every point. The University has long possessed the means of affording instruction in the different branches of science and learning, which were neglected because it remained optional with the students whether or not they would avail themselves of the opportunities within their reach, and no inducement was held out to persuade them to enter upon pursuits that would require a certain amount of labour and application, without any immediate or adequate recompense from the University. Hence the professorships were lite rally sinecures ; and although the most distinguithod and talented men were appointed, loud com plaints were made of their inefficiency and inutility, and Parliament was repeatedly ap pealed to on account of the positive waste of public money in paying their salaries. All students for the degree of 8.A., or for the honorary degree of M.A., who are not candidates for honours, must, however, in addition to whet is now required, have attended, before they shall be admitted to examina tion for their respective degrees, the lectures deli vered during one term at least by some one or more of the professors of the different sciences enumerated in the resolution, amongst which we rejoice to see that natural and experimental philosophy and political economy have a place. The candidates for the degree of 8.C.L., who do not pa-s the examinations for the first class in that faculty shall, in addition to what is now required, also have attended the lectures of certain professors. But the most satisfactory of all is the establishment of the " Moral Sciences Tripos," and of the "Na tural Sciences Tripos," the places to which shall in the former case be determined by an examination in moral philosophy, political economy, modern history, general jurisprudence, and the laws of England ; and in the latter in anatomy, comparative anatomy, phy siology, chemistry, botany, and geology. If, in ad dition to these imeeefeet,tsese el--; ise e pis ges were auiy cuitivatea, and the acaaemicpoetets to all, without exception of creed or religion, England would, indeed, have cause to be proud of her Univer sities, and the rising generation would possess many important advantages of which their predecessors were deprived. Nothing could be more simple, more straightfor ward, and more dignified than the brief letter addressed to the Journal des Debats, in which M. DE LAMARTINB expresses his sentiments with regard to the Presiden• tial election—sentiments worthy of LAMARTINE and of the high circumstances which have elicited their expression. M. DE LAMARTINE does not solicit the suffrages of his fellow-citizens, but neither does he emulate the questionable humility of the Roman who "thrice refused" the proffered honour he was but too desirous to accept. In brief but most emphatic terms M. DE LAMARTINB thus declares his conviction —"To solicit the Presidency would be ridiculous ; to desire it would be rash—to refuse it would be want ing to the Republic and to the country. I am devoid of this ambition, but incapable of such an act of cowardice." Satisfactory as this assurance is it ss as not required. Those who in any degree appre ciate the character of LA/LAI/TINE must have felt assured that under no possible combination of circum stances could he hesitate when his country summoned him to her services. He is pre pared with equal willingness and equal cheerfulness, as has been already unmistakably attested, to assume the post of dignity and danger, or to sink into insig nificance and political annihilation. He is ready, as he declared the other day to the National Guards of Cluny, to sacrifice for the Republic not his life only, but " a thousand times more than his life—his share in the remembrances of posterity." This entire for getfulness of self, which is his peculiar and most beautiful characteristic, ceases to astonish us when we take into consideration the fact that LAMARTINE is a poet as well as a patriot. The patriot, that is he who truly deserves the name, forgets himself in his country ; his hopes and interests become identified with hers. The poet, with a similar, or perhaps more active devotion, surrenders himself to his ideal. He who can give to airy nothings a local habitation and a name, forgets his actual existence in the ideal world which he has called into being. He lives no longer for himself, but for the thoughts which inspire him. Somewhat of this nature are LAJIARTINB'S yearnings for Republican France. Other patriots exult in the promised rege neration of their country, but LAMARTINE, while he testifies for the interests of France all the anxious devotion of the patriot, watches over the destinies of republicanism as the poet cherishes the development of his idea—of the one ruling passion of his life. The historian of the Girondists—he who has pondered over the mysterious teachings of the past until the meaning of their mysteries became revealed to him— he whose earnest eye discovered truth despite the blood which disfigure and the crimes which dis guise her—be who could recognise the Chris tian philosophy which gleamed through the stoic creed and savage cruelty of ROBESPIERRE —he whose intellect became convinced, and whose heart was enraptured by the excellences of Republican ism, of Republicanism founded by liberty, cemented by equality, and sanctified by brotherly love—of Re publicanism, as its ideal virtues were discerned by him even when shrouded by the mists of a sanguinary revolution—the historian of the Girondists is hence forward as wholly and heartily devoted to this one great idea—the development of the true principles Of Republicanism, as is the poet to the beloved creations of his genius, the philosopher to his theory, or as was the believing Genoese to that far-off land which existed for a time only in his belief. Therefore it is that LAMARTINB makes no idle boast when 1 1 he speaks of life, and of fame even, as being less to him than the welfare of the Republic. We can well conceive, viewing as we do the character of LAM kETINE, that the certain consolidation of a truly great and liberal Republic in France would induce LAMARTINE to regard every personal condition, even life, wealth, celebrity, power, and fame, not as treasures to be willingly sacrificed, but as matters of supreme indifference. In the triumph of one great object of his ambition all else would be ' valueless to him. If there be any truth in our sup position—and that there 'is not who that has conned well the events of the last twelve months will dare to• say ?—then to whom could the consolidation of the Republic be so fittingly entrusted as to him who has the well-being of Republicanism so warmly at heart ? From him could neither be apprehended the dangers of a BONAPARTE or a G'eneral MONK. What allure ments could personal ambition have for cne all whose aspirations are concentrated in the well-being of the Republic ? Who,'again, would be so fitted to render France respected' among foreign nations as he who in the , hour of supreme difficulty and danger — when all Europe looked on the young Republic with alarm and almost abhorrence—converted mistrust into confidence and abhorrence into admiration ? Who would be so likely to still the clamours of the factious as he whose solemn eloquence has already in the moment of agitation acted with the stilling in fluence of - oil on troubled waters ? The French people, notwithstanding recent tokens to the con tray, have confidence in LAMARTINS. His unswerving faith in the principles which he advocates has not been without, effect. Men always believe those who be lieve themselves. It is to LAMARTINE the people al most involuntarily turn in the moment of doubt and apprehension. "Every day since my return here," he said ire his address to the National Guard at Cluny, "I have been accosted, questioned, and inter rogated, - What think you of the Republic—will it endure—will it become. regulated ? Will it bring forth the happiness and welfare of the people ? Citizens, this is the answer I give to all, as I have given to myself frequently when reflecting upon our futurity. If tl.e people do not comprehend the meaning of the word Republic'— if they confound Republic with revolution in permanence (a signification too often attached to this word)—if they confound it with agitation of classes against classes, of the rich against the poor—if outcries be raised for war without enemies, violence without pretext, blood without thirst, then indeed the Republic will perish—for scandals are net institutions and last only a very short time." Contrasted with this gloomy view M. LIALARTINE then drew a picture of what the Republic would be if Frenchmen united to do their duty, and although he did not say it, it requires little sagacity to declare that the first step towards the realization of such a picture would be the confiding the destinies of the Republic to him who has been hitherto its guardian genius. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. 'The discussion on the Budget, and the probability of the Minister of Finance being enabled to carry out his scheme of proposed reductions, are the subjects o! comment in many of the journals. Among other alterations, the Minister of Finance proposes to sub stitute an income-tax and a legacy duty for the tix of 45 centimes. In observing on the various proposi tions of the Minister of Finance, the Journal des Debats says— "He includes in the calculation of his budget of re ceipts the legacy duty and tax on revenue for a sum o horn 150 to 170 millions. The produce of these tuxes replaces that of the 45 centimes. In the second place. he supposes that the Writes belonging to the Sinking Fund, dotation, and reserve will be applied entirely to th wants of the Treasury, as was done last year; and, as a third hypothesis, he calculates on a reduction in the expenses equal to the deficit of 1848—viz., from 300 to 350 millions. On these three conditions, in fact, the estimate of 1849 will add nothing to the eetleit of 1848. Let ws now examine these three hypotheses " We will admit that the Income and Legacy llut. Bills are adopted by the Assembly, but they will be far from being equivalent to the tax of 45c.—v:z., 170 mil lions, the former in this season of distress cannot be es timated at more than 80 millions, and the latter at from 19 to 20 millions. Suppose the two to realise 100 mil lions, that will leave a deficiency of 70 millions. But is t certain that the Assembly will vote these two Bills? Can the country, already exhausted by the payment of the 45 centimes tax, bear 100 millions of extraordinary taxes? If those are the conditions oa which the Minister proposes to establish the equilibrium, the country will rind them very onerous. " As to the use to be made of the Rentes of the Sink ing Fund, that also requires reflection. We are not fanatical in our ideas of the Sinking Fund; in our opi nion it does not merit either all the praise or all the dispraise that has been wasted on it. The Chamber may, however, agree to what has been proposed by M. Good chaux on the subject. " The third hypothesis is the most serious and the L a utte a u d Fti ll tt l e ° xpenses ''fie entreat the Minister to hasten the presentation of his budget if it will prove that this saving is possible. Nothing could be more calcu lated to calm the uneasiness of the country. In the meantime we will remind him, that if the budget of 1819 does not have to support certain charges which buy, weighed on that of 1848, it will have others and fur heavier ones. "It will thus be seen how uncertain and imaginary is the equilibrium of 1849. A considerable deficit may In calculated on, to which will have to be added the deficit of 90 millions of the previous estimates. This is the real state of the case, and it would be childish to dissimulate; it is a serious one, but we may look at it without dismay. The floating debt has, by the consolidations which were effected in the month of July, been brought to remit wt.,- portions which will, it may be hoped, permit it to sup port a portion of the new deficits, and then there remains the last resource of fresh consolidations and new loans. We shall thus appear to get over tho crisis, but God knows how much it will have cost us and for what a long time we shall have to suffer from its effects. The Constitutionnel has at length hinted that it is probable that M. TIIIERS may give a quasi support to the candidateship of Prince Louis NAPOLEON for the Presidency, and. if the expression of popular opinion in Paris may be taken as an index of the popular opinion of France, Prince Louis NAPOLEON Will probably be the future President of the Re public ; but in the provinces of France, more parti cularly in the southern and eastern provinces, the popularity of General CAVAIGNAC is very great. The inhabitants of the south are in general Legitimatists, but they feel that the time for the restoration of the Due DE BONRDEAEX is not arrived, and they prefer the continuance of the Republic to either the restor ation of the Orleans or the Bonaparte dynasty. Admiring and esteeming M. DE LAMARTINE, they yet feel the necessity of having for the first President of the Republic a man of energy and ability, a man who possesses the will and the power to settle the moderate Republic on a firm foundation. They, therefore, support General CAVAIGNAC on this occasion, and it is probable that the exertions of the provinces will more than counterbalance the efforts of the capital, and that general CAVAIGNAC will be returned by a consideradle majority. A remonstrance signed by all the principal inhabi tants of Perpignan has been addressed to the French Government, complaining of the arbitrary and illegal conduct of the French police of that town, in arresting and imprisoning in the citadel of the city Don PA TEICIO ESCOSURA and other natives of Spain residing at Perpignan. These police, it would appear, acted, without orders from the Central Government, andi, according to the Indicateur of Bordeaux, were bribed by NARVAEZ to make the arrest. The same journal says that the French police authorities along the frontier are all in the pay of NARVARZ and CHRISTINA ) a circumstance well worthy the immediate attention of the Government of the Republic, as the partisans of CHRISTINA are also partisans of the Orleans dy nasty. a I is, s in The report of the Committee of Revision of the Con stitution yesterday " one concern." ay distributed to the members of the National Assembly. The alterations proposed are, in general, of little importance. The most important are the following :—The 26 th Article , which stated that all Frenchmen were eligible as representatives, is altered to the extent that it is all electors who are eligible. The object of this is to exclude bankrupts and persons who have been convicted of crimes im p'yiag infamy, who, by the clause as it originally saiod, were eligible, like other persons. The most important addition, however, is the follow icg, which is added to the 68th Article Every measure by which the President of the Republic dissolves or prorogues the National As sembly is a crime of high treason." It is fur ther declared that by this act alone the Pre sident ceases his functions ; the citizens are herd to refuse him obedience ; the judges of the High Court of Justice are instructed to meet immediately, in places pointed out for •that purpose, under pain of forfeiture; and they are to convoke a jury, to apply to the President and his accomplices the punishment awarded by the law. It is prObable that tho revision of the Constitution will occupy several days. The Club of the Palais National has adopted General CAVAIGNAC as its candidate for the Presi dency of the Republic. On this subject the Bien Public says-- "It may be remembered with what a strong expres- I LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1848. sion of repulsion was received the project of sending commissioners into the departments. Why was that epulsion? It is as not, certainly, against the men—all perfectly honourable—it was against the secret idea of the measure. The departments suspected these !,.miais•sioners to be election agents, who were coming 0 direct and discipline the public mind; and their in tele-ndence was indignant at that appearance of moral pp?. ession which was about to invest itself with the scarf of representative. Will hot the solemn de edit: es.! ion of the Palais National produce the same re ? That appi ars to us probable. The departments regard Paris with distrust—they are France, and they are determined to be a voce—the voice of France, and not any longer the echo of a single city. There is ano ther inconvenience in this designation—that it will im part too exclusive a character to the canii,lateship of General Cavaignac. The Cl u b o f th e R ue T a itb ou t h a s adopted M. Ledru Rollin; that of the Institute has not yet pronounced; that of the Rue de Poitiers hesitates, And will hesitate for a long time still. Here, then, is General Cavaignac the exclusive candidate of a fraction if the Assembly. In this way, the struggle is narrowed. A party candidate is proposed at the very moment when coteries ought to be set aside, and sentiments of pa triotism, liberalism, and conservatism be appealed to, in (3rder to concentrate on a single name the votes of those who mingle together thecause of the Republic with that of society." _ While the Constitutionnel gives a sort of half support to Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, the Siecle, the organ of M. ODILON BARILOT, gives its warm and cordial support to General CAVAIGNAC, as does Count MOLE, who has expressed his opinion openly and in no very measured terms on the impolicy of General CIIANGARNIER and of Marshal BUGEAUD offering themselves as candidates for the Presidentship. M. LEDILU ROLLIN is very sanguine as to his own suc ces., and in consequence of these divisions among the friends of the moderate Republic,lit is not improbable but that he may slip in. We read in the Moniteur:—" The Breslau Gazette announced a few days ago that a Frenchman, named Marchand, had 'aeen condemned at Warsaw, in the course of last mmth, by a military commission, to 1,000 strokes of a rod, and that the consul of the Republic in that town had refused to interfere with the authorities in favour of the unfortunate man. The same journal added that Marchand had succumbed in consequence of the punishment. The Government of the Republic hastened to invite our consul to send it information respecting these facts, and it yesterday received a letter from that functionary, which allows the facts to be re-esta blished in all their exactitude. In the first place, Mar chand did rot succumb, and half of the punishment mentioned above was remitted. In the second place, the criminal proceedings respecting the affair in which this individual was compromised (seducing oldiers from their duty) having been secret, our consul did not learn his arrest and trial until the punishment had taken place. Finally, Marchand, who was born in Russia, it is true of French parents, had never set forth his nationality at the consulate of France at Warsaw, and was not inscribed on the matricular register. The consul, in conse quence, was ignorant of his presence in that place, However that may be, as soon as the facts in question were known to M. Thiers, the consul, he at onc e hastened to make to Prince Paskewicz all the repre sentations which the gravity of the affair required, and demanded with energy that the condemnation to hard labour in Siberia pronounced also against Mar chand should be altered by a pardon.". Yesterday being All Saints Day, the Boum wa s closed. A few transactions were done at the Passege de I'Opera in the Five per Cents., first at 67f. 90c., and afterwards at 68f. At this last-named price the Five per Cents. were more offs red than demanded. evil-minded men, befare these men be disarmed, without immediately causing a bloody engagement in the streets? I ask whether those who offer me peace—who call upon me unhesitatingly to enter Vienna, even if they are sin cere with me, whether, I say, they would be able to command moderation and tolerance to those who have for r. e: ks, with arms in their hands, terrorised the city? "It is my duty to inform the well-disposed portion of the inhabitants of Vienna of what has taken place since the short time of my appearance here, and pre vious to it. " For several days continued attacks are made upon my troops, who are under orders to answer them only in case of the most urgent need, which has in fact already occurred at several places. "The party who are the authors of that unexampled deed of crime, which was perpetrated on the Minister of War, Count Latour, and was even perpetrated on his corpse—who demanded an amnesty of his Majesty and the withdrawal of the troops, which had been so scandal ously attacked—who made a proposition for the banish ment of several members of the Imperial House, and who lately protested against the full powers confided to me by his Majesty the Emperor, and even declared the whole of my mission illegal—this party sends to me an embassage of peace, for the purpose of enticing me to enter the city with all my troops without any guarantee. "Far from me be the thought of employing unneces sary compulsory measures. My heart is filled with grief that I am compelled to act hostilely against the capital of the monarchy ; but I again ask the right minded inhabitants of that city Is mediation pos sible in the form proposed to me, and under such auspices ? (Signed) " Prince WINDISCHGRATZ. " 'Lad quarters, ristsdorf, Oct. 25, 1848," —Prussian Stoats Anzeiger, Oct. 30. The Prague Gazette of the 26th ult. publishes the following Imperial decree, transferring the sittings of the Diet to Kremsir " We, Ferdinand, first constitutional Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, &c. " The painful events which have taken place in the capital of our monarchy, and the continuance of this anarchical state, have reduced us to the s:,d necessity. for the security of our throne and the weal of our people, to suppress this rebellion by force of arm, as we have already announced to our people in our mani festoes of the 16th and 19th of October this year. " From the disturbed state of legal order in the capital, and the impending intervention of military measures, it is impossible for the Diet there to continue its delibera tions. We are, therefore, induced to command that the Diet shall forthwith susrend its sittings at Vienna, and we convoke the same to meet on the 15th of November, in our city of Kremsir, where it will be able, without disturbance or interference, to devote itself exclusively to its important work, the framing of a constitution com mensurate with the interests of our States. " Therefore all elective representatives of the people, elected for the Constituent Diet, are by these presents commanded to appear without fail on the 15th of No vember, in the city of Kremsir, for the purpose of there continuing the interrupted discussions in reference to the constitution, and of setting aside all secondary business, to bring it speedily to a happy conclusion. " We feel persuaded that all representatives of the people who have been elected to the Constituent Diet, anxious to do their duty to their country, will consider it incumbent upon them to appear at the above-named time, at the temporary prescribed seat of the Diet, for the purpose of their seriously employing themselves, in stanter, in the mighty work imposed upon them. " Olmutz, Oct. 22, 1848. " FERDINAND. " WESSENBERG." " This Imperial manifesto, which I received this day from the Imp-rial President Wessenberg, is hereby made generally public.

MALES KASSIM AltazA, uncle to the late and grand uncle to the prk.!F:ent KING, has been appointed to the vacant governorship of Azerbidgan. T URKE Y. A new military council has been instituted at the Seraskier Capoussi ; all the Ministers have been named members of it, and, among the rest, several ex- Viziers, such as Rour PACFIA, SARIM PACNA, &c. On the 15th ult. the council assembled for the first time, under the presidency of the SULTAN, who made a pretty neat speech, recommending economy, order, and industry to be the maxims of the State. The Wallachian question remains in stole quo, but another blow has been struck unfavourable to the in terests of the Divan, by the removing from power EMIN EFFENDI, the ex-Commissioner in Wallachia. This honourable and wpright individual has been sacrificed to appease Russia. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived. The Palace of Buen Retiro is preparing for the reception of the Duke and Duchess of .MONTPENSIER, who are coming to Madrid at the pressing instance of CIII2ISTJNA, and much against the wishes of the Duke ,f MONTPENSIER, whose health suffers considerably from the sudden alterations of temperature which are of such frequent occurrence in the Spanish capital. MUNOZ Duke of Rianzeres, who was never in action in his life, has, thanks to Queen CHRISTINA, been made a Generald The Prince and Princess of CAPUL are still at Madrid. The Spanish political exiles, who on their way out to Cuba rose upon the captain and crew of the ,hip, and carried her into Bourdeaux, and who were given up, contrary to the law of nations, to Spain, have arrived at Santander. NARVAEZ has, it is said , Tdend the ringleaders to be shot on the deck of th e ship. The news of tIA: risintr in Arragon Ana we insurrection is becoming every day more general. The Carlists, after an action of some dura tion, entered the important town of Falcet, in the province of Tarragona, and compelled the garrison to take refuge in the church. Notwithstanding the defection of CALETRUS, the army Of CABRERA is daily increasing, and he will soon be in a condition to undertake otTersive operations on a large scale. MADRID Boise, OCT. 27.—Threes, 181 ; Fives, 101 ; Exchange, 48 90. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA, _ BOHEMIA, AND HUNGARY. We are still without any direct accounts from Vienna. At Breslau accounts bad been received from Vienna to the 27th ult., which stated that there had been some smart skirmishing between the troops and the citizens, and that a partial bombardment had taken place, but that no decisive steps had been taken byWlNDiscuGnkrz to compel the surrender of the city. By the way of Berlin we have received more de tailed accounts of these transactions. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger, of the 30th ult., publishes the fol lowing : "Intelligence which was received in Berlin on the 29th ult. from the environs of Vienna, by way of Bres lau, is positive that no attack had been made upon the town up to the 27th at noon. On the other hand, the Viennese had made several attacks upon the imperial troops, and a great deal of fighting had been going on in the Brictensee, and the faubourg of Larchenfeld. In cons' quence of the continual repetition of these attacks a portion of the Moravian corps d'armee had been im pelled to advance, and had fallen upon the city with a brisk cartouche fire, at the Schmilzer churchyard, against which a battery was directed, and the churchyard taken by the fusiliers ; but they subsequently retired in conse quence of its exposed .situation. On the Missdorf side the citiz-ns completely forced the ranks, and beset all the points in the environs, as well as Funfhausen and Sex- hausen. " TOrince Windischgretz bad given the command that the firing should be every where suspended, wherever it wits not unavoidably called for by an attack from the city itself, and no bombs whatever had been thrown into the city. " The Ban had garrisoned the Luathaus, in the Prater, and likewise the powder magazine, and was resting on the Danube, below the city. " The water and gas conduits had been cut off from the city. The former had been taken on the Missdorf site by a most energetic attack by the citizens, but was afterwards retaken by the Imperial troops. It was stated that six steamers, with Hungarians, had come down the Danube, but had turned back again, as the foremost of them had been received with a very brisk fire. " Deputations from the city were continually coming to Prince Windis chgratz. I n consequence of one of these, whi c h was headed by a Depu t y of Pillereclorf, Prince Vindiscbgratz issued the subjoined proclamation to the inhabitants of Vienna. "From the Diet a deputation of three members, headed by the Minister Kraus (who had been previously summoned by the Emperor to 011mutz), repaired to the Imperi a l court to re m onstrate against the removal of the Diet to Kremsir. "It was asserted that the Prince had given in to the Communal Council a list of the persons who he demanded should be given up to him. "In the night of the 26th and 27th the thunder of heavy artillery was heard from many quarters, and on the morning of the 27th the firing continued. At noon, however, all was quiet; and it was stated that a depute tation had again repaired to the Prince. " The Northern Railway and the Prater, nearly as rue as Leopoldstadt, were, at the departure of the last travellers, occupied by the Ban; and it aas stated that 50 or 60 prisoners had been seen being taken from the city to the head -quarters. "From all accounts the c itizens fought with great valour. The Poles, especially, are said to have been re cognised as capital shots. On the other hand the Im perial troops are said to be extrr mely exasperated at the repeated attacks which are made upon them, and which they are not permitted to return." " PRccLAMATIoN OF PRINCE WINDISCHORATZ TO THE INHABITANTS OF VIENNA. "Proposals have been made to me to come to an amicable mediation with the city, and to enter Vienna with my troops, in order myself to bring into operation prescribed conditions. " I appeal to the sense of justice of I am sure a large proportion of the inhabitants of Vienna, and I ask them whether it be possible, after all that has passed, my troops without giving any provocation being fired upon at their very first appearance whether, I say, it is possible for me to enter Vienna with them —to enter that city which, according to the assertions of all, swarms with armed, BAVARIA. MUNICH, OCT. 25.—T0-day a deputation of five Burghers presented themselves at the Palace, with an address which was signed by 3,000 persona. The deputation was, however, not received, and the Aide de-Camp of his MAJESTY stated that the tone in which it was conceived was of such a nature that it was impossible for the KING to receive the deputation 1.1.

Tns HAGUE, OCT. 30.—The first Chamber of the States General in their sitting of this day passed the three following projects of law : 1. The regulations of the funds of the consignments of 1841 to 1847. 2. The provision for the deficit of 1843. 3. The transfer of the funds recovered from the Netherlands Mint for the estimates of 1845 to 1849. After passing these three projects of law, thi s Cbamber also adjourned, and it is generally considered that unless special circumstances should arise the operations of the present Chamber of the States General are now finally terminated.—Amstorda tnsche Courant, Nov. 1.

The cholera was abating in all parts of the Prussian dominions. RUSSIA. The Frankfort Gazette says that a private letter from Stettin contains an account of the Ernipv eror of Russi♦ having made peace with Circassia ; it is sup posed with the intention of being able to wit hdraw his troops from thence, and send an army of two or three hundred thousand men into the principali ties of the Danube. PERSI A. Intelligence from Teheran was brought to Con stantinople on the 18th ult. by a Tatter, who left Tabrez on the 19th of September. On the 13th of September the new SHAH, i vho at the time of his father's death resided resit led at Tabrez, was proclaimed as successor to his f ather's throne, under the title of NESSER-UD-DEBN..S/lAll.

I, he latest accounts from Tabriz confidently anticip a,te that for the present, at least, public tranquillity vri,Jd be preserved. ITALY. The accounts which we yesterday gave of an insur rection in the Valteline are confirmed. The Concordia of the 28th ult. says the Valteline is in a state of insurrection. The bridge over the Adda is destroyed. For some hours the sound of the tocsin and the firing of cannon have been heard in the direction of Orgegno. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 26th Oct. says, " Letters from Milan report that Chiavenne has risen, and that one of the brothers DOLZINI, at the head of 600 or 800 men, had come down from the mountains, and made prisoners of the Austrian garrison, and proclaimed a republic. DOLZINI is causing part of the military road from Lecco to be blown up, and fortify himself from the lake of Como to Colico. The inhabitants of Chiavenne seeing themselves thus isolated, wish DOLZINI to give up the undertaking. In the provinces of Branza and Bergamo a guerilla war is incessantly carried on against the Austrians. Como also is in insurrection. The Austrians have been driven out of the town, and the Italian tricolor floats from the cathedral tower. The two following proclamations have been issued by RADETZKY. The first is addressed to the soldiers of the garrison of Vienna, the second to his own army : " Milan, Oct. 16. "I am not your Commanding General. You are not accustomed to the sound of my voice, or to follow me to battle ; but as Field-Marshal, and as the oldest sol dier of the army [lladetzky is nearly eighty years of age], I feel that I have a right to address you. Un heard-of events have taken place under you eyes! Aus tria's spotless banner has been tarnished by treason and blood. Your Emperor has been compelled a second time to fly from his capital. The War Minister, Master• General of the Ordnance, Count Latour, has been barbarously, scandaloualy murdered, and his corpse dishonoured. A brave General fell, as they say, by the hand of a grenadier ! A grenadier battalion forgot its duty in the midst of orgies and shameful drunkenness. It refused obedience, and—oh, eternal shame —fired upon its faithful comrades. Soldiers of the Vienna gar rison ! in the name of your comrades of the Italia❑ army, I call upon you to tell me—have you done your duty ? Where was the guard that ought to have de. fended the murdered General Latour, who ought to have perished to the last man, at his feet, ere they abandoned him to the bloodthirsty fury of an excited populace ? Where aro these traitors that have cast shame upon our standards ? Have they met with deserved punishment, or do they drag on their trea cherous existence, concealed amidst the ranks of the insurgents ? Soldiers ! anguish overcame me, tears fell from my aged eyes, ashen intelligence of infamy, unheard of hitherto in the annals of the Austrian army, came to my astonished ears ! One consolation remained, however, to me. It ss as only a small band who thus scandalously betrayed their honour, and basely forsook their duty. On you, ye true and valiant men, depends the safi guarsl of the throne of your Emperor, and the consolidation of those institutions which he, in his fatherly goodness, accorded to his people, and which an insurgent horde base shamefully abused. Soldiers, open your eyes to the abyss that yawns at your feet I Everything is at stake. The foundation of the social edifice is shaken. Morality, religion, and property are menaced with destruction. They seek to annihilate everything that men hold dear and holy—everything which constitutes the basis of general welfare and pros perity. That, and not freedom, is the object of these agitators, who seek to entice you into shame and destruc tion. Soldiers, in your hands rests the defence of the throne, the maintenance of the empire! May Almighty Providetcc grant me the favour to live to see the day when it shall bo proclaimed aloud, The army saved Austria.' Then, and then only, will the unhallowed days of the Oth and 7th of October he atoned for and obliterated —then will the army of Italy, now engaged in defending the frontiers of the empire, extend to you the Land of ibrothrb,,nd (Signed) "RADETZKY." "IL—GENERAL ORDER. " Milan, Oct. 18. " Soldiers—l communicated to you in a general of der the appeal which I addressed to the garrison of Vienna. You will have seen by that general order that the Gre nadier battalion (Richter) betrayed its duty, mutinied, and fired upon its comrades. I have since then received intelligence, that this battalion, fully repentant, has re turned to its duty, and as a convincing proof of its re pentance, has demanded to be placed at the head of the first column of attack. Soldiers! I made you acquainted with the disgrace of this battalion, it is just that you should hoar of its repentance. (Signed) u RADETZKY." LATEST FROM IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

HOUSE OF LORDS. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. Parliament was prorogued to-day, by Commission, to Tuesday, the 19th of December. Shortly after two o'clock the Lord Chancellor, Lord Langdale, and Lord Campbell, took their seats in the House of Lords, as Lords Commissioners, for pro roguing the Parliament. The Commons having been summoned to the bar by Mr. Pulman, the deputy usher of the Black Rod, The LORD CHANCELLOR, in her Majesty's name and by her Majesty's command, declaredithe Parliament prorogued to Tuesday, the 19th of December.

THE TOWER HAMLETS AND MR. GEOEGIII THOMP SON, M.r.—Last night a ,meeting of the electors and non-electors of the Tower Hamlets was held in the Royal British Institution, Cowper-street, City-road, fir the purpose of affording Mr. Thompson an opportunity of rendering his constituents an account of his Parlia mentary conduct during the last session. The large room was densely crowded on the occasion. After having hoard Mr. Thompson render his Parliamentary account, a resolution, expressive of the unabated confi dence of the meeting in Mr. Thompson's political con duct, was proposed by Mr. John Scoble, secretary to the Anti-Slavery Society, seconded by Mr. Brook, and carried by acclamation. We have prepared a full report of the proceedings of this very interesting meeting, but, from a press of matter, we are unavoidably compelled to postpone its publication until to-morrow. LORD CLARENDON'S GENEALOGY.—Iiis Excellency derives his descent from Oliver Cromwell, through his mother, Theresa Parker, who was the great•great-grand daughter of Frances Cromwell, the Protector's youngest child. Tracing the line downwards, it may be stated thus :—Frances Cromwell married Sir John Russell, of Chippenham, Cambridgeshire. Their daughter Eliza beth married Sir Thomas Frankland, Frances Frankland married Thomas Worsley, of Hovingham, and had a daughter Frances, who became the wile of Sir Thomas Robinson, afterwards Lord Grantham. Of his Lord ship's children, Theresa married John Parker, after wards Lord Boringdon, whose daughter Theresa mar ried George Villiers, of the noble house of Jersey. And their eldest son, George William Frederick, succeeded his late uncle as Earl of Clarendon, and Baron Hyde, of Hindon, in the county of Wilts. WOOLWICH, Nov. I.—Captain Henry Eden (1827) is to succeed Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.8., K.C.H., on his retirement from the duties of superin tendent of this dockyard. Captain Fitzroy, at present acting superintendent, will remain for four or five weeks, and render his able assistance until his vessel to which he is to be appointed, the Arrogant frigate, 46 guns, is ready for commission.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday was very firm, but not so buoyant as on Tuesday. Tho sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, including - 5,000 Ainei ican. of which 500 were on speculation; 150 Bahia realised 41d., and GOO Surat 24d. to 2-Z-d. per lb.—There was not so good a demand for shares, the transactions being more limited, and prices towards the close of the market gave way. The decline which is noticed in the accounts from America as having occurred in the rate of exchange at New York, has led to some refli ction as to the probability of an exportation of the precious metals from England, but upon this score we think there is no present cause for apprehension. Money in the London Discount Market is exceedingly cheap upon Government and first-rate mercantile securities, but second-class bills are charged with rather free latitude. On the Continent there is an ample supply of bullion generally. At Amsterdam the rate for loans has this week been 24, and for discounts 3 por cent. At Ham burgh cash continues abundant, but there was an in creased demand for bills on London, which may ere long have some effect in absorbing a portion of the floating capital. REDUCTION OF DISCOUNTS. That the Directors of the Bank of England have no apprehension on the head of bullion exports may be in ferred from the fact of their having this morning dis counted good bills as low as 3 per cent., their previous minimum being 31 per cent. We remarked yesterday that we did not think the railway crusade would terminate immediately. Further attacks and continued vigilance will be needed to oppose the active researches of the parties inimical to railway property, or only professedly anxious to improve it by investigation. Were such conducted upon fair promises no one could object, since nothing is safe as an invest. ment that will not bear the severest probing. To calcu late unflinchingly and conclude dogmatically from an undigested mass of figures designedly made, for the purpose of elfrct, to include abandoned branches, was obviously so disingenuous as to merit in its fullest extent the reprobation awarded to it. A Mr. Robert Frank Cleveland has now published a pamphlet on the North- Western line, and as it is right the public should have the earliest opportunity of hearing all sides, and of judging for themselves, we give one or two extracts " bearing" the line in question. Tho writer, alluding to the company's statement i❑ detail that has just appeared, observes that the capital paid, and yet to be raised is 30,234,419/., but that the mortgage (debentures we presume) amounts to 9,186,6721., and he thus asserts that— " The detailed account, now published, of the engage ments and liabilities of the concern, (if we take for granted that the calls will be regularly paid up, and that the estimate of further outlay is not to be exceeded), shows that the total funds of the company will fall short 4,814,2654 of the amount yet required. The future traffic of the lines, consequently, is to provide not only for the dividends, but for this deficiency of 4,814,2651., in the event of the public confidence in their undertaking mot being sufficient to enable them to.Tenew their loans. With respect to this future traffic, the re marks upon the guaranteed lines may be considered satisfactory by the sanguine portion of the shareholders; but, as the directors justly admit, they do not offer any early or flattering prospects of ' profit,' the re• sults being necessarily problematical, and therefore the directors merely ' assume that the liabilities will be met by the proceeds.'" _ _ It is almost impossible hero to avoid asking it. ques tion which must strike the mind of every reader, viz., " What prospect have these unfinished lines in the way of remuneration which the lines now working to not possess? Cannot a line from London to Birmingham or Liverpool pay; or must it be carried through Scotland to make it remunerative?" Now the pamphlet in question comes so hastily under our notice, that being anxious to give shareholders the earliest intimation of any matter affecting, or likely to affect, their interest, and not to allow speculators to get the first " hint," we give the above statement without having had time to verity it. The Federicton (New Brunswick) Reporter says:— " We are informed on the best authority, that our Canadian Boundary Line difficulties are at last settled, and on terms which recognise the full rights of New Brunswick. We believe the difference between this lino marked out some time ago by the Honourable Surveyor-General of this province, and that now adopted is very trifling." From Pictou, Nova Scotia, we have the following : " The crops are now pretty generally housed through out this country, and from anything we can learn re specting the quantity of grain in the country, it appears that owing to the unfavourable weather that wo have had for the last few weeks, both for ripening and harvesting the grain, the crop is far below an average. This is the case more particularly among the back set• tlements, from some of which we learn that the wkole of the crop secured by the farmers this season will not more than feed their families till the month of February or March. There is no doubt that much distress; will ho found in the country unless some means be devised by the Legislature to enable the people to obtain money with which to buy food, and to enable them to save, from what lade they have, a sufficiency of seed for next season."
