which was the intellectual and beautiful movement of the public mind most industriously directed for self-ad vancement.—(Cheers.) When he used the word "el aMaing," he protested on the part of members of all mechanics' institutions against this, that they insisted upoe it as a right from their superiors, if he might use the term, or those classes who did not choose to co operate with them, that they should administer to them those groat advantages.—(hear, hear, and applause.) He delighted to look upon the movement, and he ap pealed to Mr. Baines, who was conversant with the sub ject, and to all who had known anything of the teach ing of men grown up to read and to think, and to make se for the first tine of their minds and understandings, which Lad been so long in abeyance, from their ne glect_ed education in early life, whether the ef fect had not been to make them yearn after advance yearn after more than they could teach them— ( flear)—whether they had not found that what they had taught them, were it ever so little, had placed them upon a pinnacle which had enabled them to rise higher and higher, and that their gratification was to rise higher and higher, not beyond the common object which was supreme over all, still that their minds were impressed with the gratification, and benefit, and desire of know ing more tho,n they did.—(Appletne.) Now this was all the claim which the operative, working, and lower depa: trasnts of the middle classes put upon you—to help them to 050 those f,culties which God has given them, to employ those minds which a gracious Providence bas dispsused to them; they only asked their equals and superiors to enable them to make use of that which was their o:cn, to assist them in getting the benefit of that which was their human birthright, that they might occupy, and improve, and enjoy their stations in life, and minds, and reflections, and advantages which the gra cious GO has dispensed to them. The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean then proceeded to show that the preju dice which yet prevails to some extent against institu tions of this class is entirely groundless, and said that their own regulations, which they most faithfully adhered to, as their father, Mnßaines—(Laughter)—could testify —their own stringent adherenee to theirregulationsput a positive bar to the imagination that any sinister traitor could be at the bottom of this glorious movement.— (Hear.) They excluded purposely controversial religion and politics from occupying any place in their delibera tions, and he did not enter into the question why they did this generally; but he took it upon the surface that they had this particular reason, that in the first place those two all important questions, the one of which led us to live for God and for eternity, and the other guided us as, suijt cis and citizens on earth—nevertheless, those two all important subjects did generate party.—(Hear, hear.) Party produced division—division, disunion.—(Hear.) Now, if there was any person who was leading a move ment, you would find him under one of those classes. Either he was an active religionist, or an active politi cian. You had nothing to fear from an active promoter of science and knowledge.—(Neer, hear.) Well, then, it was only because of those classes, who might use those two important subjects for the purpose of disunion and division, and therefore for a mischievous and dan gerous purpose, that they said they hal nothing to do with these topics which were likely to promote disunion and disagreement amongst them.—(Hear, hear.) He really e. fished to ask those who always seemed to smell a rat wherever anything national was undertaken—he wished to teAk those persons whether they thought these institutions having excluded religion and politics from their deliberations, could do any manner of mischief to any of the established institutions of the country? He was dorireus that all who really wished well to this country, and for the happiness and improvement of our fellow-countrymen, would seriously take this subject into mind, and it it was a fact that the middle and lower classes were really desirous for improvement, that they were determined upon improvement, and that that im provement should only be bounded by the measure of their intellect and the extent of their time—if this was a fact, then that the higher classes would follow out the hint given by Mr. Baines, and rather take the lead and guide the movement, than throw cold water upon it without any well-meant intention.—(Applause.) The Han. and very Rev. Gentleman concluded by proposing " Success to the North-West Sub-Union of Mechanics' In iiutes."--(Cheers.) Air. G. L. BANJO, general secretary and lecturer to th:4 sub union, returned thanks, and expressed his deep ohligstions to George Cruikshank, Esq., the Dean of Ripon, Lord Goderich, Mr. Baines, the Mayor of Ripon, un i other gentlemen who had responded to his invite tation to be present at the proceedings. Although his mission had, as yet, been a brief one, and he hid not, many opportunities of testirg the capabilities of the rural population of this country, yet wherever he bad gone he hal found the population ready to throw their hearts and the little learning they had into the cause which it was his duty to Icy before them; and it was his firm c‘oivicti , an that there was not a village or hamlet in YoTkshire that was not prepared to receive the blessings whish it was sought to confer upon them by the estab lis!irnent of institutions to enable them to improve their education. Ile, concluded by submitting the concluding toast of the aftarnoon, " The East Riding Sub-Union of Institutes."—(Cheers.) Mr. Joss Dusting'', secretary and lecturer to the Eaq Itch nil Institution, returned thanks, and at the close of his speech the company retired, about half past five. THE SOIREE.

The CHAIRMAN said ho had felt some difficulty in getting through the business in the morning, in conse quence of not being a very fluent speaker, but he felt a greater difficulty that evening, for instead of having the ordinary duties as chairman to go through, the secretary had handed to him a theme upon which be was to speak. It was " The fine arts—how the taste for them is to become universal." The Chairman then proceeded, in a very humorous manner, to repeat the fable of the be sieged city, certain of whose inhabitants recommended for its defence bricks, or stone, or timber, or leather, in accordance with their respective trades; and he con tinued, amidst much laughter, to say that the best way to make the taste for the fine arts universal was for every one to learn drawing, to purchase largely works of art, especially his.—(Much laughter.) The Rev. Mr. RYLAND, of Bradford, detailed the pro ceedings of the Bradford institution meeting, held there on the previous day, and recommended the giving of rewards to the learners, a plan which had produced the best results at the institution with which he was con nected. He then spoke at great length and with much effect to the sentiment—" May the cause of Mechanics' Institutes become more generally known and better understo xl." . . E. BAINES, Esq , alluded to the new experiment now making by the hub-Union of establishing mechanics' institutions in the villages of the agricultural districts — an experiment in which he wished them God speed, and trusted they would be the means of establishing these associations for the mental improvement of the numerous ranks of society in the midst of which they are placed. In order to succeed, these institutions must have fair play ; their reading-rooms must not be com fortless, with dusty book shelves and fireless grates, but they must be put upon an equality with the public. house. They must have a good room for the workmen to assemble in, and have it well furnished. Then they must invite the working classes to joiu in the manage ment, and they need not be afraid of their coming for ward too fast to do this; he could assure them; from experience, there was not the slightest ground for appre hension on that point, the great difficulty being to draw them unto it. In conclusion, he referred to the press — its results in the past and present state of society. The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of of RIPoN next, amidst much applause, delivered one of his effective speeches en " The moral and intellectual elevation of the working classes," in the course of which he strongly urged the claims of the working classes to all the ina provem.:et and elevation for which their nature is fitted, and after which there was now manifest so strong a yearning on their part. Mr. G. DAwsorr, of Birmingham (who arrived during the delivery of the Dean's speech), then addressed the assembly on the " Characteristics of the Age—Progress." He apologised for the delay caused by his not earlier arriving in Harrogate, which, he said, was entirely owing to the mismanagement of the railway, he and five others having been detained in the Church Fenton station, horseless, almost houseless, arid certainly dinner less, since five o'clock. He then proceeded to deliver one of his pithy and sententious speeches on the text given him. Mr. JOHN DUNNING spoke on " The Advantages of Union," at great length and with much energy. The Chairman now left the chair, which was taken by It.. Pollock, when, Mr. JAMES HOLE moved, and Mr. Bstitts seconded, a vote of thanks to G. Cruickshank, Esq., for his kind ness in presiding over the meeting. The vote having been passed by acclamation, The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the same. In allusion to a remark by Mr. Banks about his age being guessed at 30 and at 50, he said that it was his birth-day, and though his mamma had intended to have honoured it at home, she had allowed him to come there instead, to attend to his public duties—in fact, she had given his a holiday.—(Laughter.) He then expressed the great gratifaction which his visit had afforded him, and declared though the first time, it should not be the last time of his visiting his Yorkshire friends, who could enjoy what the people of no other nation could, a laugh even against themselves. He concluded, by wishing to each and all health and happiness.—(Loud cheers.) Dancing commenced soon after ten o'clock, and was kept up to a late hour. TIIKACRE ROYAL HAyMARKET. M. B.

THE SUN, Those, consequently, who happen to be exquisitely sensitive in consience may snap their fingers at both the new and the old regulations, and refrain entirely from any participation in labairs regarded by them as desecrations of the " Sabbath." Beyond this, however, it should be particularly borne in recollec tion that simultaneously with the addition of these twenty-five clerks to those already engaged on Sun days, at the central establishment in the metropolis, the new arrangements issued by the authorities—(those new arrangements about which the Sabbatarians are creating such an into lerable disturbance)—will release from all Sunday occupations somewhere about two thousand individuals hitherto engaged on the Lord's Day in the provincial offices. So, while the system of working on the Suudays is 25 plus, it is no less than 2,000 minus ! And yet these evangelical humbugs create such a hubbub and " to-do" that one might reasonably think , that the Man of Sin had appeared in the person of Lord CLANIICARDE, and that the year of grace 1849 was nothing less than the commencement of the Abomination of Desolation. Hitherto we have spoken of the new arrange ments at the General Post office simply in their relation to their interference with the worship of GOD ALMIGHTY on Sundays; and we have shown that so far from tending to occupy the subordinate officials during the hours of Divine service, these recent regulations will release no less than 2,000 persons from employment in the provinces, while, by the simple increase of the number of clerks from, say 50 to 75, the individuals engaged at work in the capital will be enabled to attend to their religious devotions between ten o'clock A.M. and five o'clock P.m. on Sundays,—bearing . in mind all the time that those hitherto employed, and those to be employed in future, have been, and will be employed, not compulsorily but strictly and solely as volunteers. But, it is said—there is the horrible profanation of a Sunday delivery in London! Now, bluntly and plumply we tell these good, stupid people, that there is nothing of the sort. The ques tion has nothing whatever to do with a metropolitan delivery on Sundays. We have it on the authority of the Postmaster that not one single letter or newspaper will be forwarded to its destination in London from Saturday night to Monday morning. Not one single letter or newspaper ! And yet these Sabbatarians are going into hysterics about a Sunday delivery in the metropolis. Really, these individuals seem to be particularly solicitous to ren der themselves ridiculous. They know well enough that now-a-days, and for many years past, there is and has been an uninterrupted Sunday delivery in all the hundreds of provincial towns throughout the United Kingdom ; and we cannot but regard it as somewhat anomalous that they should remain obdurate and un interested in regard to what (according to their idea) is such an immense actual desecration of the Sunday, and find themselves afflicted with a tender conscience solely within the boundaries of mortality, and solely in reference to a case altogether hypothetical. Besides enabling the clerks at the General Post office to attend to their religious duties during the hours of Divine service, and besides releasing no less than two thousand persons in the provinces from working at the money• order offices on the Sunday, the new regulations issued by the Postmaster will remove from a large portion of this immense mercan tile community a variety of very intolerable grie vances. For example, they will prevent the recurrence of those evils which have hereto. fore been of continual occurrence at South ampton. They will render it unnecessary for the mail-bags to remain in that port from Saturday night till Monday morning; and will so far facilitate the communication so essential to commerce be tween Leeds, York, Bristol, Exeter, Bradford, Li• verpool, Manchester, and Birmingham on the one part, and on the other, the East and West Indies, China, Egypt, Peru, Chili, Spain, Portugal, South America, the United States, Venezuela, and all parts of the Mediterranean. Steamers will consequently no longer have been lying in Southampton Water forty-eight honrs before the delivery of the letters brought by them from distant quarters of the globe, at so much expense, and with such extraordinary expedition. For an the reasons here enumerated by ourselves we cannot but regard the new regulations made by the Post .office authorities as real boons to the actual community, while they are calculated to enforce, rather than to interrupt, the ordonations of Chris The accounts from Ireland are of the most gloomy character. The potato blight has again set in throughout the entire country, with a destructive virulence scarcely exceeded during the memorable year 1846. Scarcely a hope remains of saving suffi- Jeient from the doomed crop for the support of the wretched inhabitants—all is dismay and consterna tion as to the future prospects of that unhappy land. Extraordinary efforts are made to save even a portion from the general destruction, but the exertions are prompted by despair—to snatch something, anything, that can be made available for food, from the decay ing mass—to defer, until the last moment, resorting to the cereal produce, :appears to be the only expecta tion. The struggle is merely to protract a miserable existence amid suffering and destitution similar to that which they have endured during the last three years. Pestilence and famine will again perform their deadly work on those who are unable to fly from the fated land. The inevitable evils occasioned by the mysterious visitation of PROVIDENCE would require the cordial co-operation of all to afford even the slightest chance of weathering the storm ; but unfortunately that co-operation cannot be obtained. A wide spread conspiracy has been organized by the occupiers throughout the southern and western pro vinces to carry off the entire crop, and to leave the landlords and rate collectors without any means of recovering the large arrears of rent and taxes now due and owing in respect of the premises. Those who have been here tofore regarded as solvent and improving tenants, in whose honesty and integrity the most implicit confi dence might be reposed, are participating in the movement, and preparing to seek other homes across the Atlantic, abandoning landlords and labourers to their fate. They feel that a total wreck has taken place, all subordination and discipline is at an end, and their conduct is that of wreckers, plundering a stranded vessel, rather than of courageous and manly minds, bearing up with fortitude and unflinching resolution against a severe calamity. " Some qui peat" appears to be the general cry, and the mischief is quadrupled in consequence of the confusion and panic accompanying the disgraceful abandonment of their posts. In place of an ordinary retreat, it is a total rout, a wild flight— each fugitive snatching what he can from the common stock, caring only for his own miserable existence, and disgracefully deserting his colours in the hour of emergency and danger. There can be no hope for Ireland so long as a course so reckless and insane is persisted in. We have it on Supreme Authority, that "a house (or a kingdom) divided against itself cannot stand"—and the "Emerald Isle" is unquestionably placed in that melancholy category at this moment. Class is arrayed against class in internecine strife ; landlord and tenant, the owner and the occupier of the soil, are mutually striving to ruin each other, and both are succeeding to the utmost extent of their wishes. Costs are heaped upon costs, which the de faulting tenant cannot and will not pay, and which must ultimately fall upon the impoverished and in solvent landowner. Half the produce of the land is wasted and destroyed in the attempt to run away with the remainder, and what is captured scarcely suffices to pay bailiffs' fees, and the expenses of the replevin that is almost invariably commenced; and if, after litigation is exhausted, the " distress " is brought to the hammer, no bidders can be obtained, a threatening multitude attend the sale, and the worst features of the anti-tithe war are forcibly re called to the memories of the spectators. We explained the wholly yreal ascribable aus es to this fearful have state repeatedly of affa the Law of Landlord and Tenant i n the sister king dom, which has been well decribed by one rs. tis w ho of the most eminent Judges of Ireland as a one-sided code, in which the interests of the proprietors are alone considered. The Irish are a keensighted and intelligent people, not easily deceived or blindfolded.l They perceive the palpable injustice of the legislation to which they have been subjected; they know that they cannot obtain equitable decisions under the ex- , Wing laws, and they accordingly combine together MOD WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

Very considerable excitement still continues to be manifested by those who are over-timorous as to the chances of Sunday desecration, in regard to the new arrangements at the Post-office, originated by Mr. ROWLAND HILL, and authorised by the Marquis of CLANUICARDE. Generally speaking, the sticklers for the better observance of the Sabbath, or, as some more correctly pronounce it, for the bitter observance of the Sabbath, are so carried away by the zeal of or thodoxy as to be rendered deaf to anything at all like serious discussion or sober argument. With these phrenetic gentlemen we do not attempt for one mo ment to debate the advisability or the non-advisability of the new regulations. Our remarks are exclusively addressed to those who still pre serve their common sense in all its serenity in the midst of their profound reverence fur religion. Of them alone, and fortunately they constitute the majority of the population, we would inquire the force and reason of their present outcry against the changes making in the great establishment at St. Martin's-le-Grand. What are the actual facts which have been so distorted as to have excited all this hubbub against what is ridiculously called an infidel Govern ment ? Why, we will here state the matter in the plainest possible language. Now for some consider able time past, and up to the present period, there have been on the average from 30 to $0 clerks and messengers employed on Sundays at tbeGene a r n a d General Post office, and in too many instances these clerks mes sengers have been engaged at work during the hours of Divine service. To correct this, together with a num ber of other grievances, the authorities have introduced several new regulations. According to these new regulations, the number of officials already employed on Sundays will be increased by an addition of about twenty. five others. From the facilities of operation afforded by this means it is calculated by the au thorities in St. Martiti'sle-Grand that there will no longer remain any necessity for these clerks and messengers continuing the duties during the intervals of public worshiu•—namely, from ten o'clock A.M. to fiVO o'clock P.m. on Sundays. Whatever work is requisite will b e done before or after those hours, in the morning and in the evening. It should be remembered, moreover, that the employ went of these clerks and messengers is not in any respect compul sory, as is represented, but altogether voluntary. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1049 and conspire to defeat these laws, which they cannot resist by other less objectionable means—hence the determined resistance, the universal hostility to the law. Every wrongdoer is looked upon as a cham pion of popular rights, who receives sympathy and assistance from the people. Agrarian outrages have long been prevalent in Ireland, although they have never, perhaps, reached to so frightful an extent, or afforded such evidences of general demoralization, as at present. The " move ment" is spreading through all parts of the country, the districts in which the " Ulster tenant right" is recognised alone being excepted : there, indeed, friendly relations are still continued between landlord and tenant, and although the struggle will be arduous, we doubt not of the result. Difficulties must necessarily be encountered, but they will eventually be overcome. A sturdy and energetic race, whose interests are one and indivisible, whose objects are the same, and who are thoroughly united, musteventually prove successful. Their strength is not wasted against each other, but turned against their common foe, and their triumph is certain. But there can be no hope for Munster or Connaught, nor even for Leinster until the landlord and tenant question is placed upon a secure and satisfactory basis —on a basis that will content the " many " as well as the " few," and which will prevent the wholesale clearances—the flagrant acts of oppression and in justice which, although they have only been resorted to in isolated cases, have tainted the entire system, and produced an outcry against the general body of landlords, which few, indeed, of their number have merited. The good, however, have been confounded with the bad ; the considerate and reasonable pro prietor has been classed with the spoliator and exterminator, and devices that should scarcely be put in operation against the most cruel oppressor have been resorted to against the most deserving and meritorious. Again we reiterate our decided conviction that there can be no hope for Ireland until the custom of tenant-right is legalised and extended to the entire country. Then, and not till then, there will - be a reasonable prospect of her social regenera tion and of her ultimately attaining to the welfare and prosperity of which she has been deprived by the misgovernment and mal-legislation of bygone ages. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur announces that M. LOUIS FREHAULT, principal surgeon of the second class, at the Royal Hospital, at Toulon, has been sentenced to one month's imprisonment and to dismissal from the service for having "on the invasion of the cholera committed an unheard-of act of weakness in quitting his lodging in the hospital:to withdraw to the country, and leaving the service to subordinates." The Assembly met in their bureaux on Wednes day to consider the credits demanded by the different Ministers for the expenses of the army of Rome, which gave rise to a discussion on the subject of the PRESIDENT'S letter. The parti-pretre, as might have been expected, expressed their disapprobation of the PRESIDENT'S letter, which General D'HAuTpooL considered unconstitutional. That MM. PISCATORT, BONNIER DE L'ECLUSE,_ VERGIN, and BENGNOT, should follow in the wake of the General does not surprise us ; but we must con fess that we are surprised when we find the ci devant esprit fort, M TRIERS, speaking after the following fashion :—" That the expedition could have no other object than to restore the PoPE, and that if the language of the President of the Council had not been explicit, it could only have been understood in that sense." He expressed his satisfaction at the motu proprio of the PorE, and considered that the concessions granted were perfectly suitable to the Roman people ; and that the object of the expedition being now fulfilled, the troops should be withdrawn. Perhaps we ought rather to pity this unfortunate gentleman than to blame him. Like CHARLES X , he bath done those things in his youth of which he would fain blot out the memory. 'When the age is in the wit is out, and your ci-devant young sinner is in general the best material out of which to manufac ture your old bigot. Strange that M. THIEES should in his old years become the very thing which, in the case of CHARLES X., was the object of his , unmitigated contempt. M. BAROCHE, who followed M. TRIERS , was of a different opinion to that gentle , man.—" Hei (M. Baroche) was of opinion that the French troops shoull not leave until some guara n tee land. beer cAotop:‘,.....l foe tin.. futowte., and to. more ex.- tended amnesty obtained." MM. Victor Lefranc, Benoit Chumps, Victor Hugo, De Casa Biancha, De la Moskowa, ascal Duprat, Churamaule, Laratet, and Charras, would vote the credits demanded on condition that the Ministry followed the policy pcinted out in the letter of the PRESIDENT. The Committee named are MM. Thuriot de la Rozere, de Montalembert, llerbert Delisle, General Oudinot, Bengnot, Jaudier, Thiers, Victor Hugo, Chaper, De Langrene, De !a Moskowa, de Casa thanes, General d'llautpool, Mole, and Broglie. The most cordial understanding subsists between the French and English Governments on the subject of the Russo-Turkish question. The French Govern ment has declared its entire approval of the con duct of General Auricx, and on Tuesday Lord NORMANDY submitted to M. TOCQUEVILLE the pro posed draft of a joint note to Russia and Austria, which is couched in the most energetic and unmis takable terms. The unanimity of opinion prevailing on this subject among English journalists has produced a marked effect. The Journal des Debats says : .‘ The effect produced in England by the news of the diplomatic events which have just taken place at Con stantinople has not been less ardent or profound than in France. The English press was f rom t h e fi rst moment unanimous in stigmatising, as it deserved, the cruel exi gencies of the Cam.. From the lilornihg Chronicle, which is almost absolutist with respect to continental policy, to the Radical Daily IVezcs ; from the Morning Post, the constant defender of Russian policy, to The Sun, the organ of the extreme Liberal party; all the Conservative papers like the Times, and the Protectionist Herald, or Ministerial, like the Globe, have pronounced with an energy that does honour to the morality of public opinion in England, against the implacable cruelty which would seek gratification by intruding on a foreign soil, and violating the sacred rights of hospitality—a virtue practised by the most barbarous tribes of the desert. All party questions have, as in France., disip peered before this one_ question of honour and morality.' The differences which have unfortunately arisen between the French Republic and that of the United States will not lead to any unpleasant consequences. The mediation of England was offered, and at once accepted by the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, and there can be little doubt but that it will be also accepted by the PRESIDENT of the United States. It is said that the embassy to the United States will be offered to M. MARRAST. The PRESIDENT of the Re public is much pleased with the manner in which Colonel CHARRAS, M. DUPRAT, and other members of the MARRAST party, defended his letter to M. EDGAR NET, against the attacks of the parti-pretre in the bureaux of the Assembly. Dispatches have been received from M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, the French Envoy to Vienna, which are ofa very unsatisfactory character. It would appear that, having crushed liberty in Hungary and Italy, Russia and Austria meditate an attack on the French Republic. The Bill for the completion of the Louvre has passed. PARIS BOURSE.—THURSDAY, OCT,. 4. The market has been somewhat firmer to-day, and prices are rather higher, with but a moderate share of business doine, Thrace for the account closing at 55f. 60c.; and Fives at 88f. 15c.

PORTUGAL. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 29th ult. Thebody of CHARLES ALBERT was removed, with much ceremony, from the Cathedral of Oporto, and placed on board a Sardinian war steamer, which immediately sailed for Genoa. CABINET COUNCIL ( DAY).—A Cabinet Coun cil was held at the Foreign-office this afternoon, at one o'clock. There were present the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, Viscountralmerston, ' Earl Grey, Sir George Grey, Mr. Labouchere, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Carlisle and Sir Francis T. Baring. The Ministers were in deliberation when we went to press. Several of the Ministers and great Officers of State leave town by special train to-morrow, to attend the Privy Council at Osborne. E it M. A A 'lt AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. DEATH OF GEORGEY. The Vienna journals of the 30th ult. state, that GEORGEY has been shot at Klagenfurth, by Count EDWARD ZIOUY, whose brother was hanged by GEOR.. Gres order in the Danubian island of Csepel. The account is, that Count ZICIIY walked up to GEORGEY, who was sitting in a coffee-house, and :hot him dead on the spot. The Austrian Lloyd's of the 29th ult. publishes a dispatch fro General lEvriatt, dated Acs, Sept., 27, which announces the capitulation of Comorn. The terms are not given. The brutal murders perpetrated by order of the EMPEROR Still continue, and Generals Auucu and Bess have been shot at Arai. The representative of the House of Hapsburgh-Lorraine and his Ministers would, it is evident - , fain force us hack to the institu- tions of the middle ages. It would be well that they should remember that " the family feud" was one of the most honoured of those institutions, and that the pursuit of La Vendetta was in those days considered a sacred duty. CENTRAL GERMANY. The Frankrort journals of the 3011 ult. state that more conflicts had taken place b3tween the Prussian and Bavarian soldiers in that city, and in one of them serious injuries were inflicted on several of the combatants. Patrols had to be called out to re establish order. According to the Cologne Gazette, the Government of Wirtemburg has definitively refused to accede to the treaty of the Three Kings. M. DE BEUNIGSEN, President of the Council of Ministers in Hanover, has left for Vienna, to take part in the conferences on the German question. Hanover has, it is said, declared that she will not continue to adhere to the Constitution of the Three Kings, unless authorised by the States. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, OCT. 3. THE NETHERLANDS COINAGE.—In consequence of the law adopted by the Leg:slative Chambers of the Netherlandi for the calling in of the gold five and ten florin pieces, and their exchange for paper money, which shall be subsequently exchanged for silver coin, the Belgian Chambers have determined that this measure, having been adopted in anticipation of an immense depreciation in gold, at a period more or less remote, the Chambers decide to engage the Minister of Finance to decree that, at an epoch coincident with that which the said coin is to be exchanged in Holland, it shall also cease to have legal circulation in Belgium. The Chambers, also, decided to suggest to the Minister whether, on the same ground, it would not be prudent to suspend every ulterior issue of national gold coin. TURKEY. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Vienna of the 27th ult. :—" We have received intel ligence from Constantinople that KOSSUTH and his companions have been embarked in English vessels at Constantinople. The Ambassadors of Austria and Russia, as also Prince It ADZI NULL, have left Constantinople. Previous to doing so they declared that a Russian fleet was prepared to enter the Bosphorus. The Ambassadors of England and France have acted in accord in the affair. Sir STRAT FORD CANNING has given orders to the English Admiral to proceed with his fleet to the Dardanelles, and to the Governor of Malta to send him all the ves sels of war that he can dispose of." Letters from Naples of the 28th state that intelli gence had been received there that the Hungarian refugees had escaped from Widdin, and had embarked on board a Greek vessel. ITALY. We learn by the Concordia of Turin, of the 2leth ult., from Alessandria that General FANTI and Colonel SANFRONI have been arrested for having dis obeyed the orders of General RAmortirio during the late campaign. The same journal states that when GARIBALDI arrived in the port of Tunis the authorities would not allow him to land. This measure was said to have been recommended by the French Envoy. The BET, however, offered GARIBALDI a steamer to take him to Malta if he liked. GARIBALDI, after some reflection, declined the offer, recollecting that other Italian refugees had not been received there. The Sardinian steamer then took him back to atgliari, where he arrived on the 22d ; and, after having been in quarantine till the 24th, he was taken to the small island of Madalena, where he now is, under the surveillance of Colonel FoLcuir, but free upon parole to ramble about at his leisure. The above journal quotes the following letter, dated Mad dalena, the 25di ult., which it has received. from GARIBALDI:— " Brother,—l have not been received at Tunis. I have been lintled here till further orders from the Govern - ment. Remember me to my friends. I have been very well treated by Captain Mitteline tend tho to me. "Yours faithfully, " GARIBALDI." In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin, of the 28th ult., M. BATTINI a!ked a question of the Minister of the Interior concerning the manner in which liberty of conscience was understood by Go vernment, since the bishops had threatened deaers who sold DIODATI'S translation of the Bible, and the Minister of the Interior had prohibited the sale of that book. The Minister very laconically answered that the measures alluded to were perfectly constitu tional. The subject then dropped, and the Chamber proceeded to consider the Bill for the payment of 15 millions to Austria. The discussidt was adjourned to the following day. The Tuscan Government, says the Coatituzionale of Florence, has concluded a loan of thirty millions, with the guarantee of Austria. The Tuscan Monitore of the 26th ult. announces the arrival of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY at Sehon brunn on the 20th. M. BLENDOFF has arrived at Rome as Rusin Envoy Extraordinary. CEPHALONIA. The French Cofistitutionnel gives a letter from Cephalonia, without date, which mentions that three journalists had been banished by the LORD HIGH COMMISSIONER, and that five prisoners, including the priest ZAPAIIDI, had been hung. The two chiefs ULVERO and Nomtuo had not yet been arrested. A great number '6l insurgents had then whipped, a mode of punishment which had excited the utmost exasperation, those who suffered it calling out to be put to death as they had been dishonoured. TILE LILY AND THE STREAM. (From Eliza Cook's Journal) A lily-cup was growing where the suet/Inlet tide was flowing, And rich with grace and beauty there it bent; And pass'd the whole day long in dancing to the song Which gurgling ripples murmured as they went. Though rush and weed were there, the place was fresh and fair, And wavelets kissed the Lily's tender leaf; The Lily wood the water, and drank the draught it brought her, And never wore a tint of blighting grief. A strong hand came and took the Lily from the brook, And placed it in a painted vase of clay; But, Rh! it might not be, and sad it was to see The suffering Lily fade and pine away. The fountain-drops of wealth ne'er nursed it into health, It never danced beneath the lighted dome; But wofully it sighed for the streamlet's gushing tide, And drooped in pain to miss its far-off home. Now human hearts be true, and tell me are not you Too often taken like the gentle flower; And do ye never grieve, when Fortune bids ye leave Affection's Life-stream for her gilded Bower? Oh! many a one can look far back on some sweet brook, That fed their soul-bloom, fresh and pure and shining, And many a one will say, some painted vase of clay Ras held their spirit, like the Lily, pining. EEIZA COOL TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut,—May I ask you the favour to correct a slight, though to me not unimportant error, in the gratifying intelligence which appeared in your journal of last night, respecting the Arctic Expedi tions, and which I had the honour of being able to communicate personally to the Lords of the Admiralty yesterday. It is stated that the communications were made to the Admiralty by the Editor of the Mercantile and Shipping Gazette, instead of the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, the correct title of the paper. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your very obedient Servant, WILLIAM Shipping and Mercantile Gazette Office, 54, Graceehurch-street. Oct. 5, 1849. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MormisG.—By the steamer just arrived from Havre our corresnondent in forms us that the sales of cotton yesterday at that port received a considerable impetus from the New York advice/ per the Niagara,vid Liverpool, and that a rise of from I f. to lf. 50e. took place, the sales amounting to 1,528 bales; still, however, the market was anything but steady. The St. Dennis, from New York, the France et-Brazil. from Rio Janeiro, and the Adele, from Porto Rico, arrived yesterday at MN re. NEW YORK, SEPT. 19.—Mr. James Hudson, the eminent Irish comedian. who has just arrived here from London, appeared on Monday evening at the Broadway Theatre, and was extremely sueeetsful. The audience was large, and greeted him with enthusiasm. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a quick, yet steady, market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, at firm prices. The sales, how ever, were on a limited scale, say 5,000 bales, including 500 taken on speculation, and comprised 400 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham, at to 61, 1W Bahia, at 511. to &id., 100 Egyptian at qd. to 6id., and 200 Surat at 4d. to 4p. per lb.—ln Railway Shares there was no alteration. The Corn Market is quiet to-day, the arlivals of foreign being large, and iucludin,,,e. 21,050 qrs. of Wheat, 7,860 of Barley, and 13,930 of Oats. In the Mincing-lane Produce Markets this week, business has been comparatively dull, the supply of most articles being larger. The consumption, however, is good, and there is a healthy tone among the dealers, who can keep up their stocks at convenience, such are the facilities afforded. Tallow is particularly flat, the quantity available at St. Petersburgh being 155,000 to 160,000 casks, the home make being large, and the im ports from Australia and South America considerable. There seems every prospect of tallow, in future years, ruling permatently lower, much to the advantage of our poorer classes, though to the detriment of the producers. There are accounts per Seagull, arrived at Falmouth, to the 16th Au.guit from Buenos Ayres. The exchange was at 2 17-321 At Rio do Janiero on the 15th Au gust budness was brisker, the elections having termi nated peaceably. We observe in the last advises from Canada still more current reflections upon annexation, &c., and rather painful statements of the depression in trade. The Canadian Independent informs us that upwards of 50 respectable workmen had just left Quebec for the Western States. A steady emigration of French Canadians towards these happy regions has been taking place every summer for the last three or four years. The Canadian Independent suggests that a public meeting should be held to inquire into the causes of the present depressed condition of the colony, and to recommend a remedy. "We believe," writes the editor of the Quebec Gazette, "the French Canadian would readily adopt the hint, end declare in favour of inde pendence or annexation, if any other Ministry were in power than the present. " The main article with which we could supply the States in case of annexation is timber, and it will be through this consideration alone that America will con sent to afford us reciprocity if she does ever consent. This year alone, up to the beginning of July, upwards of one million feet of timber were shipped to the States from Canada, and in all probability certain branches of the trade, such as deals, will, we believe, ultimately trust to the United States markets alone." Mr. Lafontaine had returned from Montreal, from his reciprocity expedition. A telegraph notice in some of the United States papers says that the delegates had hit upon a scheme,:which they thought likely to attain the object of their meeting, reciprocal free trade in raw pro. duce with the United States. We agree with the Montreal Herald, from which we quote, in doubting the truth of this statement. Accounts received this morning from Holland state that the new Cabinet was reported to have been formed, and to be composed as follows:—Foreigu Affairs, M. Lightenvelt; Finance, M. Van Bosse; Colonies, M. J. Band; Interior, M. Thorbecke. A lengthened conference is stated to have taken place between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the French Ambassador, and at two o'clock in the night of the 2d inst. the latter left the Hague for Paris. The Funds at Amsterdam on Wed nesday were dull, and the Twc-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 53 15-16ths. Russian Bonds were firm, at 105. The English Stock Market is firm, but exceed ingly quiet. Consols have been 92i and are now 921 for Money and 92i -a for Account. Exchequer bills have realised 395. to 425.; and India Bonds 80s. premium. East India Stock has been marked 2 ) 55. The Bourse at Paris was firm yesterday. In the Foreign Market the quotations have been variable. Peruvian Bonds have realised 52 to 52k, ex dividend. Mexican are 264 j, fled Grenada 16i. Buenos Ayres Stock is at 43. Spanish continue to he offered, and are prevented from rising. The Five per Cents. have been 164 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 33,1. Portuguese Four per Cents. have touched 294 and 80. Dutch Four per Cents., ex-dividend, are 82. In Railway Shares there is no general movement. Celedonian are steady, and likewise Eastern Counties, Great Western, and Midland. York and North Mid land are better, and North Western and Great Northerns have improved a little. O.E O'OCLCK.
