In alluding, on Thursday, to the numerous agri cultural meetings held in various parts of the country, and the feeling of despondency prevailing among farmers, we indicated the nature of the remedy by which the distress and difficulties, not only of the agriculturists, but of the industrious classes generally, may be removed, and happiness and prosperity sub stituted. The great desideratum to be attained is the establishment and maintenance of a circulation sufficient to supply the wants of commerce and of active industry—to provide proper representatives of value, so as to facilitate the ordinary transactions of mercantile men, and to enable every p• r:on, able and willing to labour, to obtain remu nerative employment, to receive in fact "a fair day's wages for a fair day's work." Under the present unjust and impolitic system a considerable portion of the " real floating capital of the country," that which is contained in the thews and sinews of the labouring population, is suffered to remain idle and unproductive. Its possessors are exp ,sed to misery and privations of the most melancholy description. In place of earning their daily bread by the sweat of their brows they are driven by thousands and tens of thousands into the union workhouses, where they add to the public burdens and encumbrances, in place of being the great producers of national wealth. These untoward results are altogether ascribable to the undue "appreciation " in the value of money that has been occasioned by the Act of 1819, and the still more fatal measure of 1844, which has been by many regarded as its necessary corollary and supple ment. Through the operation of these statutes the value of the pound sterling has been affected to the extent of at least 50 per cent. That important fact has been fully admitted by the great champion of the bullionists among the public press, and corroborated by the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is therefore manifest that a single sovereign at present commands twice the quantity of the necessaries or comforts of existence which had been conveyed by a pound note in the average of transactions previous to the enactment of these statutes, and it follows that the pressure •f all taxes, contracts, and engagements that kAd been entered into have been increased in a similar ratio. The burden of the pablic debt, that incubus which weighs down the in dustry of the . nation, which paralyses our energies, and cripples our powers, has been at least doubled. Debtors are unable to meet the demands of their creditors. The owners of estates can no longer keep down the charges and encumbrances affecting their properties, which were contracted under very different circumstances, and tenants are wholly incapable of liquidating rents undertaken at periods when agri cultural produce commanded more than double the prices now to be ;obtained. If it require 100, quar ters of corn to satisfy the claim of the landlord, where SO would formally have been sufficient for that purpose it is clear that the farmer wi l l have fifty quart ers l ess for other purposes, for the clothing and maintenance of his family and for the employmext of labour, than he had calculated upon when he entered upon his holding. Ile is therefore obliged to curtail his orders to the tradesmen and shopkeepers of the neigh bourhood, and to discharge many of his workmen. The demand for manufactured articles, and for labour, is thereby limited—the supply speedily exceeds the demand, and prices of ev e ry kind are i;x;l4 , NS S 1 depreciated ; farms are thrown upon the hands of the proprietors, mills and factories are altogether closed or put upon half time, the labourers Are driTim to the workhouse, rents fall, the preeitin - _ 14. isS • •• of the taxes, in which there is but little variation, becomes intolerable, and there is wide-spread ruin and distress throughout the length and breadth of the land. These results, which are so painfully perceptible on every side, are not the consequences of the want of protection or the establishment of free-trade doctrines, but rather because the principles of the system have not been fully and fairly carried out. It is because " free trade in money"—the medium of all exchanges —is not sanctioned. So long as the price of gold is fixed it cannot be asserted that our trade is really unfettered and unrestricted. The money jobbers, who alone benefit by the atrocious system, who reap enormous profits from the fluctuations in the money market, which have been truly stated " to hare occasioned greater evils to the trade and manufactures of the country, pecuniary, social, and moral, than the direct failure of all the banks of issue since they were first established," have a direct interest in the perpetuation of the grievance, and will of course labour zealously and indefatigably to sustain it. " The few " will still desire to grind and oppress the many, if they can be permitted to do so with impunity. They therefore attempt to mystify the question, and to mislead those who, if they could take a correct view of their true position, would speedily enforce an equitable adjustment of affairs. Glaring fallacies are solemnly propounded—the acknowledged evils are in turn ascribed to every cause but the true one. The potato failure, and the enormous importation of bread stuffs thereby rendered necessary, over-produc tion by our manufacturers, and over-speculation by our merchants, the vast expenditure on rail ways, &c., &c., have been reiterated usque ad nauseam by these interested witnesses as the sources of the monetary crisis, and of the general distress that prevailed throughout the country ; and, unfortunately, the people have suffered themselves to be deceived, because they are unwilling to take the trouble of sifting the matter to the very bottom, and of entering upon a thorough and searching investigation into all its details. The failure of the potato crop was indeed a serious calamity, entailing much misery and wretched ness upon the inhabitants of the sister kingdom, and compelling this more fortunate nation to contribute largely to their assistance ; but under a sound system of currency the eight or ten millions sterling lent to or bestowed upon Ireland in the dark hour of her affliction and distress could not have materially affected the position of England, with her five thousand millions of accumulated and realised capital. We have somewhere seen it well remarked that the expenditure could have produced no greater effect than if a man worth 5,0001. sterling were to bestow 81. or 101. to save his brother from starvation ; or, than if a person worth 2501. per annum gave Bs. a year to keep his sister from the workhouse. It could, not, therefore, have been the cause of the commercial distress which, according to the well-considered evi dence of Mr. Jour; TAYLOR, before the Committee of the House of Commons, was "rather occasioned by a peculiarity in our coinage, which forbade our exercising the ability we ought to have to counteract that calamity." Had it not been for that grave and fatal mistake, the potato blight, by opening a new demand for our manufactures, in payment for the breadstuffs necessarily imported from foreign countries, by introducing improved modes of culture, and effecting a total altera tion of the social system in Ireland, might ultimately have proved rather beneficial than otherwise. It could not possibly have led to the general distress and suffering, the monetary crisis, the commercial embarrassments, the cessation of credit, the failure of employment, and the sacrifice of property to the value of more than 250,000,0001. sterling—in other words, the destruction of 251. worth of property for every pound contributed for the relief of Ireland. On another occasion we shall show that these calamitous results were not in any degree ascribable to over.production or over-speculation, which have been put forward as stalking-horses to fright the isle from its propriety, and to direct the public attention from the real source—the foes et origo—of these fearful calamities—the monetary code established by the Acts of 1819 and 1844. llow delightful it is to behold injured innocence come forward and defend its pure and holy cause against the libels and backbitings of the ignorant and unenlightened world ! The members of the Oxford Tradesmen's Association have lately thought proper to offer, through their secretary, " A Reply to the Accusations which have been brought during the Long Vacation against Oxford Tradesmen generally." They have made public the fundamental principles of their association, which we take the opportunity of making more generally known, because the inferred habits of this band of honest tradesmen previously to the following resolutions will give a pretty clear notion of what respectable shopkeepers are, and open our eyes as to the present character of those who cannot be prevailed upon to join the association. Ist. " The members are required to send in a full statement of all claims upon resident members of the University twice in the year.: 2d. " To abstain from personal solicitation for the sale of goods. 3d. " Not to lend money at interest to under graduate members of the University. " It is not the wish or intention of the members of this association to find fault with other parties," but merely to vindicate themselves; yet say they, in reply to the charges brought against them, " There are many who join in the outcry with no other motive than having a pretext for withholding their money who are willing that their sons should do as they please, so long as their parents need not pay more than they choose." The logic of the whole produc tion is, however, so admirable that it would be sacrilege in us to comment upon it. As a proof of a distinction in intellectual caste between town and gown we can conceive nothing more admirably adapted. But as their mode of reasoning has less interest for us than their mode of reckoning, we will take a glance at their three " fundamental principles," and while we lament the sad cause, we will be hopeful as to the effect, and most anxious that " great actions " may be " true sons " " of great and mighty resolutions." First, then, " members of the association are re quired to send in a full statement of all claims upon resident members twice in the year." If any such custom had hitherto prevailed, evidently no resolution would have been necessary. The tradesmen of both Oxford and Cambridge know very well that the greater part of them not only omit sending in any half-yearly statement of accounts to the college authorities, but eve❑ keep back such accounts when they are asked for. We know of tradesmen in both Universities who are receiving capital interest on accounts of twelve or fourteen years' standing, and who would be anything but pleased were these bills to be settled. We have seen orders from the Vice-Chancellor re lative to ready money payments, placed in the most conspicuous manner on shop dooors, and yet laughed at and derided by both seller and buyer. We know of tradesmen who made a point of calling on " fresh men" the moment they perceived any slight signs of extravagance, and telling them that they will not think of sending in their accounts until after " de gree." And these very men, probably, are the loudest in their hypocritical complaints and feigned indignation. Far be it from us to say that there are no upright and cautious tradesmen in the Universities. We know of several, as respectable and honest men perhaps, as any in the kingdom, but they are most singular exceptions to the general rule. The second resolution is, like the first, very plausible, and, if actually carried into effect, would be most admirable, viz., " To abstain from personal solicitation for the sale of goods." But how long will these less unprincipled tradesmen refrain from their touting. habits ? How long will the well•disposed tailors, for instance, be able, without envy and jealousy, to behold their greedy brethren gadding about from room to room unfolding with an in sinuating flourish their gorgeous and tempting yards of patterns ? We confess our doubts. Snug little college rooms are the paradise of " snips." " Uri sport your oak" f or a moment, and in struts a little, bowing, scrap ing man, with a l arge b lack parcel under his arm, and a most heavenly smirk on his engaging countenance. Before you can pos sibly persuade him that you are sufficiently well clad he has almost carpeted your room with little squares of every imaginable description of cloth, Tell him to go, he will gaze at his goods and look the picture of content. Rise from your seat and show that you really have coat, waistcoat, and trousers, he will eye you like WRIGHT at the Adelphi, look at your elbows and all your other weak points, and confiden tially whisper that you appear to forget that " the apparel oft proclaims the man." No hint, no per suasion, no force, can drive him from your room. You must put aside your mathematics for an hour or two, at least; you must hear bim harangue all the friends who may have accidentally called ; you must submit to this almost every day, and consider your self very well used if he does not send Sou in coats and trousers which you merely pretended to admire. Comparatively few clothes are ordered in the shops, and those few are, for the most part, necessaries ; consequently, we wish the second resolution of the Oxford Tradesmen's Association every success. With regard to principle number three, " not to lend (for the future, we suppose) money at interest to undergraduate 'members of the University," we must say we are amused with it. " Who," say the tradesmen, in their letter to the Times, " can distin guish the poor from the rich ? " Who, indeed, can half so well as the men who are asked to lend money? And who have been the money-lenders, according to the implied meaning of this third resolution? Why the very tradesmen themselves. They give the poor country "freshman" dandy " Wellingtons" instead of his unsophisticated " Bluchers ;"they strip him o f his rustic garments, and array him in all the colours of the rainbow ; they lend him money at exorbita n t interest; and then — perhaps rightly—they say that they cannot distinguish him from "the noble and wealthy." We will say no more; we will hope that these Oxford tradesmen are acting honestly; but our faith wavers, our prejudices are not quite extinct. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and Sunday. The Journal des Debats of Saturday publishes the following important telegraphic dispatch announcing the settlement of the Russo-Turkish question : " GENERAL DE LAMORICIERE TO THE MINISTER OF THE SON LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1849 FOREIGN ♦FFAIRS. " St. Petersburgh, Oct. 18. " The Count de Nesselrode has notified to the Ot toman envoy that the Emperor, taking into considera tion the letter of th© Sultan, limits himself to demanding that the refugees should be driven out of Turkey. " Fuad Effendi considers the affair as'settled." The intelligence of the resignation of M. Ds FAL- Loux in consequence of his continued ill health is confirmed, and this resignation will give rise to a Ministerial crisis. It is said that M. LANJUINAIS Will be his successor, but M. LANJUINAIS is obnoxious to the parti pretre. In some quarters M. DS CORCELLES is spoken of as likely to succeed M. DE FALLOUX. General RULHIERE, the Minister of War, will also, it is said, resign. The PRESIDENT desires that General MAGNAN should succeed him, but the parti-pretre do not approve of GeneraI,MAGNAN, and General CIIANGARNIER, who is the complete slave of the parti pretre, will resign the command of the troops, should a Minister of War be appointed of whom he does not approve. The Reforme has the following on the Ministerial crisis : " Grave events are preparing. The struggle between the majority and the executive power has commenced in earnest. The solution of the Roman question has rent the veil which covers the secret plottings of the different pretenders. Reconciliation is no longer possible; or if effected, can only serve the purpose of a mask. The President and his friends are now aware beyond all shadow of a doubt of the aims of the Bourbon factions. It is incumbent upon him to retrieve the moral forfei ture imposed on him by the late vote, lest politi cal forfeiture sh o uld f o ll ow . A c h ange of Ministry in the sense demanded by the majority could not dissi pate the gathering storm, and would indeed only preci pitate the conflict. It is quite idle, too, to evoke the phantom of Socialism, for the President knows too well the quarter from which the real danger comes. A supreme effort will therefore be made to get out of this position. On the other hand, the majority has flung off all restraint. Absolute mistress of the Chamber, it marches direct to its object, and insolently exhibits its objects and hopes. While the principle of legitimacy is openly proclaimed at the tribune, the party demands with loud cries, through the press, a radical change in the personnel of administration, and attacks the very principles which constitute our municipalities, on the pretext of raising a barrier against the ravages of Socialism in the provinces." _ _ - A meeting of the reactionary club was held on Saturday, at which M. Moms professed his willing ness to take office as the head of a reactionary Ministry, and a discussion ensued as to the propriety of at once making an attack on the Ministry in the Assembly. The discussion was adjourned to Tuesday. The Patric of Saturday evening contains the fol lowing announcement : " MT de Falloux arrived yesterday in Paris to make the preparations for the departure which the state of bis health renders indispensable. Before leaving Stors M. de Falloux was visited by M. de Persigny, sent by the President of the Republic, to inquire about his health, and to express his hopes for his recovery. The imperious prescriptions of his medical men oblige M. de Falloux to quit affairs for a time. This morning he went to the residence of the President of the Republic to give in his resignation, which he had already an nounced through M. de Persigny. To-morrow he will leave Paris for the south." The examination of the witnesses at the High Court of Versailles proceeded on Saturday without any remarkable occurrence beyond the reading of a letter from one of the parties implicated in the insur rection, complaining bitterly of the treachery of the Mountain in deserting LEDRU Romati and the others when the moment of danger arrived, on the 29th of January and 13th of June last. The Committee of the Budget adopted at its meet ing on Saturday the estimates of the Minister of Marine. PARIS BOURSE.—SATURDAY, OCT. 27.

The lleraldo of that day publishes the decrees from he Gaceta dismissing the Cleonard Ministry, and re appointing the Narvaez Cabinet, and also the follow ing decree : "Taking into consideration the reasons which my Council of Ministers have exposed to me, I have decreed as follows: " Art. 1. The charge of Superior Chief of my Royal Household, with the title of Governor of the Palace, is reestablished. This charge shall be annexed to that of Minister of Foreign Affairs. "Art. 2. The Governor of the Palace, as superior chief, shall be the only channel by which the orders that I may think proper to dictate in all matters relative to my royal household shall be communicated, and by which the appointments shall be proposed to me which I may think it advantageous to make for the service, and every class of einployis at the Palace, whatever their rank and denomination may be. " Art. 3. In what concerns my royal patrimony, there shall be an intendent n .med by her Majesty (sic.), and by the channel of the Governor of the Palace. The In tendent shall direct, under my immediate orders, every thing relative to the royal patrimony. " Given at the Palace the 20th of October, 1849. " Is signed by the royal hand. " The President of the Council of Ministers, "EL DUQUE DE VALENCIA." By this decree the KING CONSORT is dismissed from the office of Governor of the Palace. The Herald() also publishes the following : " It was natural that treason and perfidy could not remain without chastisement. Shortly after the reor ganization of the Cabinet, it was neces,ary to proceed to the imprisonment of various persons implicated in this plot. The following is the list of the persons who are in prison at the hour at which we write, 1. e., two ♦.sr.:—The Padre Fulgencio ; Senora Patrocinio, the famous nun whose impostures our readers will remem ber; Senor Rodon, Secretary to his Majesty the King; Senor Quirigo, Lord in Waiting on his Majesty; Senor Baena, and Senor Fuente Taga (the two last are gentle men of the King's household). General Balboa has been also arrested, and is going to Ceuta. The Conde de Clonard remains at liberty, but deprived of the di rection of the Military College, which is given to Ge neral Gallego. The other Ministers are so insignificant that the Government has not deigned even to think of them. They return quietly to their, insignificance, and Senor Manresa will probably go to prison to fulfil the five months to which he had been condemned by Senor Auriola, Judge of First Instance, for contempt of Court." The plot was a reactionary plot concocted by the King of NAPLES for the restoration of Absolutism. Queen ISABELLA was to have been deposed and placed in a convent. Father FULGENCIO, who was the agent of the King of NAPLES, worked upon the feeble mind of Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS by telling him that the soul of his mother was in torment, and that it could only be released by the restoration of Absolutism in Spain. FULGENCIO was aided in his schemes by a certain nun, named PATROCINIO, who pretended to see visions and work miracles. It will, however, prove, we suspect, beyond the miracle• working power of the holy sister to escape from the clutches of NARYAEZ. It is said that both FULGENCIO and the nun are by this time on their way to the Philippines. MADRID BOLSA, OcT, 22.—The Three per Cents. were done today at 271 cash. There is nothing doing in the other stocks, and the quotations are merely nominal. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AN D HUNGARY. HAYNAtr has been definitively appointed Governor of Hungary, and the murders have been renewed. It appears from letters from Pesth of the 20th, that on that day three persons were hanged in the Hun garian capital, viz., the Prince Niroawrrmtv, Com mander of part of the Polish Legion ; GIRON, a native of Pesth, and Commander of the German Legion ; and ARANCOURT, late Aide de. Camp to General DEMBINSKI. These three executions have caused great terror among the inhabitants of Pesth, who have now lost all hope of the Government adopting a milder course of policy. Nevertheless, neither PR RENTI nor STULLER have as yet been executed. They remain under sentence of death, for their punishment has not as yet been commuted. Several arrests like wise took place at Pesth on the 20th. Among the persons arrested are Messrs. BARKOSSY, NARAY, and KEzsETz, who in their time were among the most distinguished functionaries of KOSSUTH'S Government. It was also rumoured that M. MADARAS had been hanged, but this rumour requires confirmation. The Lloyd says that " intelligent and patriotic citizens will learn with pleasure that it is the intention of the Government to cover the public expenditure by the imposition of new taxes." The movements of troops towards Bohemia con tinue. The forces of Russia and Austria united occupy a line of territory from the Tessina to Ka lisch ; the number of troops under arms amounts to 700,000. VIENNA, OCT. 23 —The Weiner Zeitung of this day publishes the law proposed by the Ministry and sanctioned by the EMPEROR, relative to the provi sional organization of the Administration in Hun gary. Acting on the principle that the former Hun garian Constitution has been set aside by the revolu tion, a special statute, founded on the principles of the Government of the empire, viz., on the unity of the monarchy, on the equalisation of the Crown lands, independent of the kingdom of Hungary. In like manner the Servian Weyewodship is severed from Hungary, and its union with the other Crown lands intimated. Besides this the whole country is divided into districts, and these again into circles, which answer to the former counties. With reference to Art. 184 of the Constitution of the lands, and on the equal rights of all the national races, is to regulate the Constitutional relations of Hungary. By this the former neighbouring lands of Hungary, viz., Croatia and Slavonia, with the Croatian Litcrale, together with the Grand Duchy of Transylvania, with the Saxon land (including the territories formerly severed from Transylvania, and now again united thereunto), are constituted peculiar Monarchy of the 4th of March, and to the therein declared unity and indivisibility of the Executive, under the responsibility of the Ministry, th e admi nistrative of Hungary, by virtue of the ab o ve fundamental law, is subjected in all its branches to the supreme government and influence of the Ministry; but during the term of the extraordinary circum stances in which Hungary is at present placed, the executive authority is vested in . the Commander-in- Chief of the army.— Weiner Ze i tung. PRUSSIA. The dispute between Prussia and Bavaria respect ing the payment of the expense of the milit ary operations of the former Government on behalf of the latter in the Pfalz is not yet settled. Prussia, as chief controller of the funds of the Zollverein, has detained a quarter's payment due to Bavaria, in part settlement of the account, the justice of which Bavaria denies, and also asserts that Prussia did more than she was asked to do, which was only to take possession of the passage of the Rhine at Oppenheim and reinforce the Bavarian corps d'armee by a few Prussian battalions. The Prussian answer is, that had the military com manders waited till the Bavarian force came up, the whole province would, perhaps, have been lost, or hare had to be reconquered with much more difficulty. The Cologne Gdzette contains the following tele graphic dispatch, dated Berlin, Oct. 25 : "The Second Chamber in its sitting to-day decided respecting the formation of the First Chamber. " The First Chamber consists oc-1, the Princes of the Royal house, who shall be qualified to take their seat in the Chamber as soon as they shall have completed their 18th_year.. 2. Of 240 elected members.' " ill.. Riedel proposed that the Chamber should con sist of 180 members, instead of 240, which amendment was passed by a majority of 156 against 150 votes. Another amendment of Riedel was passed by the sam( majority this was— The Members called to the First Chamber are to be chosen to a third part among the landed proprietors who are most highly taxed, in such wise that in every province the number of deputies to be elected in propor tion to the number of the population shall be chosen by a fifth part of those landed proprietors who pay the highest taxes to the State. The other two-thirds are to be chosen partly by the provincial representatives, the latter to be constituted a permanent elective body by a special law." BAVARIA. An amnesty is about to be published which will pardon upwards of 8.000 persons concerned in the recent outbreak in the Palatinate. MUNICH, OCT. 20.—The Committee of the Cham ber of Representatives has completed its report on the German question, and declares in favour of a Sovereign Head. BADEN. FRANKFORT, OCT. 20.—The Baden Government is in no small dilemma. The Budget was granted only to the Ist of July, 1849. At this moment there is, therefore, no money whatever in hand, and the Government will not trust itself to elect a Burgo master without the Chambers. It would now do to convoke the Chambers which have not been dissolved, nay not even prorogued, as the greater number of the Members have resigned, and new elections must con sequently take place. The Carlsruhe Gazette pro poses a solution of the difficulty by an octrove of the electoral law, but this would scarcely be feasible, as the electoral law of March was not compulsory, but an integral part of the Baden Constitution of 1818. SAXE-MEININGEN. The Duke, on the 23d instant, suddenly dismissed the Minister DE SPESSHARDT and all the other respon sible councillors. This measure is regarded as the prelude of a re action. NASSAU. Three persons accused of high treason for publish ing writings reflecting on the King of PRUSSIA were tried by a jury at Wiesbaden, on the 24th, and acquitted. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. ALTONA, OCT, Z.—The National Assembly, which, according to article V. of the fundamental law, is to meet in ordianry Diet on the Ist of No vember, has been convoked by the PRESIDENT, in a circular, addressed to the members, for twelve o'clock that day, at Kiel. The inhabitants of Fredrichstadt have sent a pe tition, with 241 signatures, to the Stadtholdership of Kiel, to the tbllowing import : "That we now, as formerly, recognised the Stadtholdership as the sole legitimate authority, and that we recognise all the laws abolished by the so called Government Administration, especially the fundamental law of the State, of the 15th of Sep tember, last year, as still subsisting, and in full force." HOLLAND. Mx HAGUE, OCT. 27.—The Staats Courant is still silent respecting a new Ministry. The Handles. blad highly commends the nation for the perfect coolness with which it has been waiting for more than six weeks for the result of the commission given by the KING for the formation of a new Ministry. Not a word of blame is cast upon the KING for the lengthened duration of the crisis, and the expectation is expressed that it will have a speedy solution. M. VAN TWORBECKE has just addressed the follow ing letter to the members of the Second Chamber. It is dated Leyden : " Gentlemen,—l consider it my duty to give an ex• planation respecting the Ministerial crisis, in so far as I have been concerned in it. My silence at this moment ought to be appeciated by you. When the time shall have arrived, at all events as soon as the Chambers shall have reassembled, I shall hope to be able to dis charge this duty. B. TEIORBECIII." Doubt appears to be entertained whether M. Tuolt- BECKS has succeeded in the mission confided to him. M. VAN GOLTSTEIN, the President of the Sf cond Chamber, was summoned to an audience of the KING yesterday. Several conferences have taken place between him and Mr. VAN BEVEL respecting the formation of the new Cabinet. It is conceived that M. VAN GOLTSTEIN has been charged with this diffi cult task.—Dutch Papers, Oct. 27. TURKEY. The Island of Samos is declared to be in a state of blockade. THE CHOLERA.-Dr. Wiseman has signified to his clergy that, in consequence of the cessation of the cholera, the dispensation from the Friday abstinence, hitherto permitted, is to cease, and the prayer against pestilence to be replaced by a thanksgiving. It is also his intention to appoint a special day of thanksgiving for the members of his district, and to recommend a collec tio❑ for the orphans of those who have died of cholera. These notices were read yesterday (Sunday) in the churches and chapels of the London district. ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 23d officially an nounces the nomination of Chevalier PIETRO DE Rossi DI SANTA ROSA to the post of Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, with the provisional ma nagement of the portfolio of Public Works, in lieu of Chevalier MATHIEU, whose resignation has been ac cepted. M. DE Rossi has hitherto voted with the minority of the Chamber. The Legge of Turin, of the 23d, states that the prosecution of the persons arrested for political motives is in active progress, and that sentence is shortly expected to be pronounced. The Nazionafe of Florence states from Rome, 18th instant, that the French have applied for better barracks, on the ground that their stay is likely to be indefinitely protracted. The Osservatore Romano states that on the 15th M. CAPUTO, one of the chiefs of the late Neapolitan insurrection, was arrested at Rome, in order to give him up to the Neapolitan Government, who had demanded his extradition. But the Statuto of Flo rence adds, on the authority of correspondence from Rome of the 18th, that M. DE CORCELLES has protested against his extradition, and opposes it with all his might. The King of NAPLES has at length decided upon recognising the Mexican Republic. SICILY. The King of Naples has issued the following decree for the organization of the Government of Sicily : DECREE. "Art. 1. The administration of all affairs regarding alike the Home Service, Courts of Law, Finance, and the Church of our Royal dominions beyond the Faro, shall be distinct and separate for ever from those of our Royal dominions at this side of the Faro, on condition that the said parts of our dominion shall contribute in the pro portion of one-fourth to the ordinary expenditure, namely, that of the Royal Household, Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of War and Marine of the whole kingdom. _ _ " — Art. 2. The administration of our Royal dominions beyond the Faro, when we shall not reside there, shall be confided to a Viceroy nominated by us, who shall be assisted by a Council, composed of a Minister, Secretary of State, of three or more directors for the Affairs of Grace and Justice, Ecclesiastical Affairs, the Interior, Police, and Finance. " Art. 3. Our Viceroy in our royal dominions beyond the Faro shall be either a Prince of our Royal Family or some other distinguished personage. " Art. 4. Theaffairs, according to the instructions we reserve to ourselves the right hereafter to give, which cannot be adjudged without our Royal consent, shall be submitted to us by our Viceroy, with the opinion of his Council, and referred by them to our Secretary of State, resident near our Royal purson. " Art. 5. All our Ministers, Secrataries of State, and our Viceroy are charged with the execution of the pre sent acts. " Naples, Sept. 27, 1849. (Signed) " FERDINAND°. (Countersigned) " FoRTuNATo.' HER MAJESTY'S HEALTH. We are gratified to state that the accounts received at Buckingham Palace this morning from Windsor Castle, per a special messenger, state that her Ma jesty was well, but her medical attendants did not consider it advisable for her Majesty, although con valescent, to leave the Castle. Sir James Clark remains in attendance on the Queen. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman SIDNEY , . . Henry Thornton, a labourer, aged 17, pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with breaking into the dwelling-house of Mr. George Boorer, at Woolwich, and stealing therefrom a pistol, a tobacco-box, a pair of boots, and other articles, value 31. He WAS sentenced to one year's imprisonment with hard labour. STEALING LEAD.—Robert Holbrook, smith, 37, and Edmund Beddick, smith, 24, were indicted with steal ing, in the parish of Stepney, 241 b. of lead, the property of their masters. The prisoners, it appeared, were employed in making some repairs at the City of London Union, Stepney, and they took advantage of the opportunity afforded them to steal the lead in question, which they were about to dis pose of at a marine store shop when they were taken into custody. The defence was, that they had taken the lead to the shop, in order to ascertain whether it was of the weight reqnired for certain purposes connected with the works, and it was proved that they were in the act of weighing when taken-into custody by the policeman. Several persona who had known the prisoners for many years gave them a good character for honesty and sobriety of conduct. The jury found them both Guilty, but recommended them to mercy on account of their previous good con duct, and The RECORDER sentenced them to one month's impr, sonment in Newgate. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) ROBBERY AT A BROTHEL.—A girl of the town was charged with having robbed a young man named William Thomas Evans, a tailor, residing at No. 15, Carlisle street, Soho. The complainant stated, that about two o'clock on Thursday morning, he was accosted by the prisoner in Oxford-street, and after conversing with her for a few minutes, they agreed to pass the night together at a house in Church-lane, St. Giles's. They had not been more than a quarter of an hour there when some one came into the room they occupied and inquired for a key, and, under the pretence of finding it, the prisoner got up and left the room. Finding, however, that she did not return, his suspicions were aroused, and nn making search for his clothes, which he had placed on a chair, he discovered they were gone. He bad no alternative, therefore, but to go to bed again. But he had scarcely determined upon doing so, before the party who had inquired for the key returned, bringing with her his cloth,s, and he became aware, kr the first time, that he had been robbed of a silver watch, valued at 31., 3e., and a silk handkerchief. He immediately dressed himself, and, repairing to a station-house, gave the police information of the robbery and a description of the prisoner, whom he did not ace again till she was in custody. Mr. HALL asked him if he saw his clothes taken away. Was there a light in the roomy The prosecutor said he did not. There was no light in the room, but he felt about and found that although the girl's clothes were there his own were missing. Mr. fIALL asked him if he saw the second female bring his clothes back? The prosecutor did not, but after she quitted the room he searched about again, and found the girl's clothes had been replace d with his own. Police-constable A 66 proved arresting the prisoner, and the fact of her identification by the prosecutor. Mr. HALL asked the prosecutor if he was quite cer tain the prisoner was the woman? The prosecutor said he was. Mr. HALL asked the prisoner if she had anything to say? The prisoner said she knew nothing about the robbery or the prosecutor. She was quite innocent of the charge, and the prosecutor must have mistaken her for some one else. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accom panied by the youthful Heir-apparent and the Princess Royal (Victoria Adelaide) are expected to ar rive at Buckingham Palace to-morrow morning, at ten o'clock, from IVindsor Castle, to honour the ceremony of opening the Coal Exchange with their presence in state. Lieutenant-Colonel Francis H. Seymour and the Hon. Lieutenant-Colonel C. B. Phipps will at tend his Royal Highness the Prince, and the Sove reign's illustrious children will return to the Castle by special ladies' train early in the evening. Some of the Royal household will, we understand, proceed into the City from St. James's Palace tomorrow to attend the ceremony. THE ROYAL CITY VlSlT.—Notwithstanding her Majesty will not honour the City with her presence to-morrow through indisposition, yet the preparations along the water side during the forenoon have been most extensive for receiving company. Prices have lowered, and now may be said to be within the reach of many who had no hopes on Saturday. The regu lations with regard to the coal wharfs, &c., will be strictly enforced, no work to be done after six o'clock in the morning, which has caused the coal porters to work extra time this day, as also with most workmen at other wharfs. The arrangements of the Thames Police also were fixed this morning; indeed, every precaution has been taken by the Thames and land authorities to complete their plans this night. The whole of the Honourable Artillery Company met this morning at their head-quarters. ROYAL VISIT TO THE CITY.—WOOLWICH, OCT. 28.—Her Majesty having been indisposed for several days, orders were sent here to suspend the preparations making to give Mat to the ceremony. An Admiralty messenger arrived here yesterday, however, with dis patches for Commodore Henry Eden, announcing the pleasing intelligence that the preparations were to be resumed, and evt ry arrangement made for the procession on Tuesday, the 30th instant. The Admiralty messen ger, on leaving Woolwich, proceeded to Chatham and Sheerness with intelligence to the same effect, to the authorities at these porta. THE LATE GRAND DUKE MICHAEL.—A funeral service was celebrated on Friday at the chapel of the Russian Embassy, in commemoration of the lamented demise of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Michael. His Excellency Baron Brunno, the secretaries to the Embassy, and all the Russian subj 4 eta staying in town, were present on the occasion. The Rev. Mr. Popoff officiated. ROYAL THAMES REGATTA.—We have authority for stating that the treasurer will ere long make up his annual account of receipts and payments, and submit them to the auditors (Charles Lewis, E-q., and the Hon. G. Denman) for allowance, su that clubs and it,dividuals who have not already subscribed, but intend to do so, are requested forthwith to pay the amount of their do nations into the bank of Messrs. Coutts and Co., Strand, to the account of " 'rho Thames Regatta." Our readers hill probably recollect, that we sometime ago noticed a proposition that had been made, to have a public dinner in aid of the funds, and we understand that it will in all probability come off in the latter end of NoTEMber.— Bell's Life ix London. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a good demand for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. The sales comprised 7,000 American, at 50. to Bd., 500 Brazil at 6fd. to 7d., 1,100 Surat at 4d. to 4d., and 40 Sea Island at Is. lid. to Is. sd. per lb.; 4,000 American, and 1,000 Surat were taken on speculation.— Railway Shares were firm. There is a duller trade in Mark-lane to-day for most articles. Nothing is easier than to take a one-sided view of a question, and this the Protectionist party, whether en gaged in trade or agriculture, are doing constantly The best plan in such case is not to decline the invita tion given, as it were, to free-traders, but to meet at once the objections raised, and see if there is any validity in them. A case in point is now before us. A large and powerful joint-stock glass company, as we are told by certain aggrieved parties, is about to introduce a system of periodical sales by auction, as an outlet for their pro duce; such a system, according to the same parties, is unprecedented, not only in the glass trade, but in all the other great staple manufactures of this country, and accordingly our informants condemn it in the following terms : " This commercial novelty is the fruit of over The supply has greatly exceeded the demand, and, consequently, large stocks have accumulated, with the almost impossibility of effecting sales in the usual manner. This increased supply has arisen from very exaggerated notions having gained credence as to the effect of the repeal of the duty; from the speculative joint stock mania of 1845.6, and in no small degree from the poetry' of Sir Robert Peel, who sought to persuade the public that the duty being once repealed, everything would be made of glass, ' from a watch•spring to a water-pipe.' What was the result ? Previous to the repeal of the duty there were thirteen window glass (crown and sheet) manufactories in the United Kingdom, all working short time. On that measure taking effect, these were placed on full time, and also considerably enlarged; in addition to which 11 other manufactories were established, making a total of 24, in creasing the supply 300 per cent., while the increased demand did not exceed 25 per cent., except for a very limited time, until perties had replaced their stocks. Glass has consequently gone down to the cost price at the moat economical manufactories, at which rates 11 have been suspended at an estimated loss of 250,0001." Now, we have net sufficient acquaintance with the glass trade to determine positively how far these state ments may be correct, but we shall probably not be wrong in assuming that they are susceptible of a reply from practical men, that would materially weaken their force. Some of the fallacy they contain is apparent even to ourselves, who, in this instance, draw our conclusions simply from theory. The demand already, it is ad mitted, has increased 25 per cent. under the operation of lower prices, and what is more, our improvements and increased production and cheapness have alone kept us from being inundated with the foreign article. If, there fore, we are to extend our trade in glass, we must menu facture largely as well as cheaply, to have a chance in distant markets, and the first loss, after the opening of a trade is inevitable and almost invariable, the tea trade to wit, though the public as surely gain what individuals temporarily lose. Without giving any further opinion, however, we will allow the facts to speak for themselves, and give another extract from the adverse communication before us:— " The supply still greatly exceeds the demand, and the present prices are below cost at several manufactories now in operation. They in their turn must eventually retire, and those only who are situated in eligible localities for the cheap manufacture of glass can per manently- exist. Whether this company, with its auction sales, be one of that class may be gleaned from the fact of their having spent 70,0001. on their plant, when a manufactory, capable of l roducing the same quantity of glass, may be rented at 5001. a year, and in a locality superior by 3,0001. a year in the cost of manu facture." The steamer from the United States and Canada brings late and interesting news. The rate of exchange on London was still so high-110 to 1101—as to render it almost a matter of certainty that specie to some amount would be exported to Europe, and both upon London and Paris thero was an active demand for bills. The official notice of the United States Government that British ships should enjoy the same privileges as are accorded here under the new Navigation Act to Ameri can vessels, has given much satisfaction, although it was fully expected. . _ The Canadian accounts continue of an unsatisfactory tenour, more from the indication of future mischief than from present agitation. The continental accounts are of commercial interest. The rate of exchange on London at Hamburgh, last Friday, was 13 10 , and the price of gold 4371. Not much was doing in exchanges generally, but Bills of short date on London were in request. Stocks were firm, and in Shares not much was doing. At St. Petersburgh a larger business was do ing in Tallow, and yellow candle had advanced from 108 to 117. At Copenhagen, on the 24th inst., the New Danish Three per Cent. loan, contracted in Eng land, was quoted higher, viz. 711. The Amsterdam Bourse opened at an advance, but went back subse quently for the Dutch Two-and•a-Half per Cents. to 52 13-16ths. In the Three per Cent. Spanish Stock there were large purchases at / per cent. rise. At Berlin, on the 26th inst., the Three-and-a-Half per cent. Prussian Bonds were marked 381, and at Vienna, on the 24th inst. Austrian Bonds were 941. The new arrangements at the Post-office came into operation yesterday; the additional number of persons employed, however, being twelve only, all of whom were volunteers, and who succeeded, with the persons pre• viously doing Sunday duty, in sorting and forwarding by an early hour no less than 60,000 letters. The letters bear the stamp of Sunday, and no newspapers, we be lieve, are forwarded. It is expected that in future twenty clerks will be employed in getting through the new duty. The Funds have advanced again this morning, the pacific news from Russia having a favourable influence. Consols have been 921 to 93 for Transfer, and 92/ to 93 for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 921 to 921, and the Three per Cent. An nuities 911 to 1. Bank Stock is firm at 197, and India Stock at 257. Exchequer-bills are 425. to 455., and India Bonds 81s. to 82s. premium. Business in the Foreign Market has been extremely quiet. Spanish Five per Cents. are 161, and the Three per Cents. 34k. Portuguese Four per Cents. are marked 33. Mexican Bonds are flat at 261 i; and Peruvian have been marked 521 to 53. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 531. In Railway Shares there has not been much doing, but prices are firmly maintained in all cases, and there are several instances of an advance, and especially we may note Great Western, &c.
