It is not sufficient, in order to prevent a return o, that epidemic, the ravages of which are now happily diminishing every day, that we should pay every attention to the sewage and drainage of the metro polis. Even with the most perfect system of sewage and drainage that the wit of man can devise, we shall be still liable to an annual visitation of cholera so long as the putrefying dead are permitted to poison the air breathed by the living; and such must necessarily be the case so long as intramural interments shall, under any pretence -whatso ever, be permitted. Those whohave vested. Interests in the propagation of plague and pestilence—the licensed poisoners of their fellow-creatures—the patrons and the allies of cholera and typhus, have recently had their hopes revived by what we cannot but consider the most extraordinary decision of Mr. JARDINE, who seems to imagine that the proprietor of a burial ground has a right, not only to fill it with corpses, but when the earth is thoroughly saturated with putrid matter to go on piling corpse upon corpse, and to pack them, without any regard to decency, ad infinitum. Such is the only logical conclusion to be deduced from the decision of Mr. JARDINE, a judgment which would legalise the horrors of the Spa fields burying-ground and the unmentionable abomi nations of Enon Chapel. We firmly believe that the decision of Mr. JARDINE is as contrary to sound law as it is to right reason, and we hope the Board of Health will, without loss of time, adopt the proper measures for getting it reversed. If, however, it should turn out that Mr. JARDINE is right in the eye of the law, then most certainly was Mr.Bultims justi fied, when he denounced the law as "a Hass and a Ilidiot," and expressed a wish that " his eye might be opened by experience," and we would respectfully suggest, as the best method of opening the eye of the law on this occasion, that all magistrates and justices, and all those engaged in drawing up Acts of Parliament, should be condemned to live in houses abutting upon graveyards until such time as the law on this subject should be so altered as to bring its dictates in accordance with those of common sense. Were not the subject of such, literally speaking, vital insportance to every inhabitant of the metropolis, the perusal of the defence set up for each particular graveyard, by the individuals who happen to have a vested interest in the continuance of that particular pest-shop, would be really amusing. None of these gentry attempt to justify the practice of intramural interments —they all admit that such interments are a nuisance ; but then each pleads for the continuance of his own nuisance on the ground that it is " a very little one," and that the great ones should be abated in the firstinstance. One person, and one person only, has greatly dared to stand forth as the DixoN of grave yards, to contend that the inhalation of the emanations from a mass of putrefying animal matter is rather healthy than otherwise. This singular individual is the Rev. HENRY STEBBING, Minister of St. James's Chapel, Hampstead-road, and to the burial-ground attached thereto. It appears, from a letter addressed to the Times, that " This burial-ground is bounded on the north by Car dington-street, on the east by Whittlebury-street, and on the south by Little George-street. " The last.named street is inhabited by a very poor class of persons, nearly every house b e i ng tenanted by sever al families. It is separated fram the burial-ground by a low wall, distant from the backs of the houses certainly not more than two yards. Cardington and Whittlebury streets have a sl ight advantage, inasmuch as the houses are some five or six yards distant." The inhabitants of these streets complain that the exhalations arising from this graveyard are of a most offensive, disgusting, and unwholesome character, and that " upwards of thirty newly-made graves are to be seen near the wall which separates the yard from Cardington-street, many of these graves being not more than two feet distant from the. wall. The average number of interments in this graveyard is 700 , according to the grave-digger's statement." Such being the state of the case, one of the inhabi tants of Cardingtou-street addressed a letter to the Times on the subject, urging the necessity of imme diately closing the graveyard. Thereupon the Rev. HENRY STEBBING indites a letter, in which he con tends for the peculiar salubriousness of this graveyard, because himself and his family, who have lived in a house attached to the burial ground for fourteen years, " have never suffered sickness from their con- I iguity to the burial• ground"—(mark, he does not say have never suffered sickness at all, but sickness from their contiguity to the burial ground, he taking upon himself to decide whether any sickness from wbich they might have suffered was or was not occasioned by their contiguity .to the burial-ground) ; and then he goes on to declare the superior salubriousness of the neighbourhood of a graveyard in thefollowing words : " I have every reason to believe, well knowing my poor neighbours as I do, that if a statistical inquiry were instituted, it would be found that sickness and death in this now crowded neighbourhood have been less, on the average, than in almost any other similarly populated district of the metropolis." Doubtless the Rev. HENRY STEERING is a very extraordinary man. So was the late K CXIABERT THE he could drink prussic acid, dine off corrosive subli mate, seasoned with arsenic, and revel in the luxury of a hot bath of melted lead, even as Dr. STEBBING luxuriates in inhaling the rich and pungent odours which emanate from his pet graveyard, and sighs not for the perfumes of Araby the blest. But all men are not CBABEBTS, neither are all men STEBBINGS ; and, therefore, without fur ther allusion to Dr. STEBBING'S extraordinary powers or to Dr. STEBBING'S peculiar tastes, we take Dr. STEBBING'S facts as he himself states them, and from those facts we draw the conclusion that public health and public decency alike require the imme diate closing of this graveyard. " I have performed the chief duties" (not all the duties) "of this ground for twenty years," says Dr. STEBBING ; he after wards informs us that he has also the assistance of a curate. "My predecessor," continues he, " inhabited this same house upwards of 40 years ;" and in another part of his letter he says—" I may ven ture to say for myself that I have performed the funeral service over more than 10,000 persons:' Now, allowing the same proportion to his predeces sor, who was in office 40 years, we shall find that there have been interred in this graveyard the bodies of 30,000 persons, by the principals alone, without counting those buried by the curates. Taking into account those buried by the curates, we shall not be far short of the truth if we assume that putrid emana tions of from 50,000 to 60,000 corpses at this mo ment saturate the mould of the St. James's burial ground in the llampstead-road, and, rising in vapours pollute the atmosphere of the neighbourhood. Surely Dr. STEBBING himself has shown sufficient cause for the immediate closure of this hotbed of cholera, fever, and pestilence. A meeting marked by circumstances of more than ordinary importance at this moment, took place on Monday evening last at the Mechanics' Institute, Southampton-buildings, having reference to a subject to which we have frequently directed public attention through the columns of this journal. At the close of the last session of Parliament we noticed an in teresting statement, made to the House of Commons by The O'Goasay AlexoN, of the results of experi ments made upon Irish peat, showing the many valuable articles in every-day use into which it was convertible, and we had hoped that we should have heard ore this that many capitalists would have di rected their attention to a project calculated to give them a safe and large return for their invested capital, while it would give employment to the suffering poor of Ireland, bring its waste lands into cultivation, open new sources for the production of human food, and thus confer a blessing not only upon that country but upon the empire. It was also our gratification upon many occasions to notice the incessant labours of Mr. JASPER ROGERS—a gentleman well known to the scientific world—in his laudable endeavours to ameliorate the condition of Ireland by giving employ ment to her famishing poor in the con version of peat into charcoal, a substance which his scientific ingenuity has discovered to be applicable to many very useful and important purposes, and amongst others to the paramount one of neutralizing and deodorizing the offensive and poisonous effluvia exhaled from the cesspools, sewers, and other receptacles of feculent excretions and im purities with which our city abounds. The meeting at the Mechanics' Institute, on Monday evening, was convened under somewhat peculiar circumstances, to test the value of peat charcoal as a deodoriser, and to examine the project of Mr. ROGERS before a public, disinterested, and competent tribunal. Mr. ROGERS, it would appear, was challenged to the test by a gen tleman of considerable agricultural knowledge, and connected with one of our metropolitan journals. The challenge was accepted, and from the meeting thus convened a judge and jury were indifferently chosen, to whom the issue was submitted, which resulted in an unanimous verdict in favour of Mr. ROGERS by the gentlemen selected, many of them professional, and no doubt perfectly competent to de cide upon the point. The experiment was tried upon six pounds of night soil, mixed with twelve pounds of peat charcoal, which was passed through a mill of 1 simple construction, in -wialcii they were ti.osongiA 3 mixed, the result being a dry blackish powder, not unlike the peat charcoal in appearance, and giving out a faint ammoniacal smell, which speedily passed off, leaving the poudrette inodorous and capable of being handled and carried about without any inconvenience. There was a small loss in weight, the product weigh ing something more than 171 b. for 181 b. put into the mill. The gentlemen chosen to watch this experiment, and decide upon its merits, delivered their opinions to the meeting seriatim. The first was Dr. ALFRED KIIcG, who said— " The process appeared to him extremely satisfactory. The product had a slight ammoniacal smell, and no doubt some ammonia and other gases were given off. It had completely answered the object in view, and for his part he had been very much surprised and pleased at the result, and was of opinion that a most glorious discovery had been made." Mr. LYON, secretary to the King's College Hos pital, said, "he also was of opinion that the experi ment had been perfectly successful." Mr. GRIFFITHS, surveyor, joined in the approval of his fellow-judges, " And thought the application of charcoal to cesspools would be a very important benefit, as he had witnessed in the course of his house-to-house visitation, many cases in which the removal of the night soil would be more likely to produce evil and danger than allowing it to remain. By mixing the charcoal with it all danger would be obviated, and he trusted the matter would be taken up by public bodies in the metropolis." Mr. YARROW followed in the same strain of ap proval, as did Mr. NISBETT. Dr. WALKER, M.A., of Maidstone College, said the result exceeded his expecta tions. Mr. Swirs BOURNE, a barrister, said though averse to the principle, " He did not hesitate to say, that as a deodoriser the charcoal was perfectly efficacious. He had tested the matter privately, and was satisfied that it was one of the most complete deodorisers they possessed." Mr. GARRETT, one of the Commissioners of the parish of St. James, and one of the committee of the Sanitary Board, entirely concurred in the success of the experiment, and thought it would be most de sirable if the charcoal could be introduced into the cesspools of the metropolis. Mr. NISIIETT, an ana lytical chemist, also bore testimcny to the success of the experiment. We have been thus precise and circumstantial in placing before the public the strong testimony in fa vour of this project of Mr. ROGERS, seeing how emi nently it is calculated to improve the sanitary con dition of our city, what a powerful agent it may prove in the hands of Sewers Commissioners, Boards of Health, and Sanitary Committees. The fearful pestilence which has committed such ravages in some of our metropolitan districts has, for the present, al most disappeared, but we fear only for the present. The winter's cold will check it. The morbific poison will remain pent up during the cold in the reeking and foetid cesspools of Lambeth, Rotherhithe, and Bermondsey, only to be excited to fatal activity by the first heat of summer. The spread of the potato blight and other causes lead us to believe that we are still surrounded by the same atmospheric conditions which have proved so fatal to animal and vegetable life for some years past, and it will require all our best exer tions during the winter to prevent the recurrence of the deadly epidemic next season, with aggravated ma li gn ity. All who have paid the smallest attention to the progress of cholera can trace its fatal steps through the filthy, squalid, low-lying, drained, and ill-watered portions of London. The Registrar General's return of deaths would be a sure and safe guide to the state of sewage and drainage in any particular district. These pestiferous nests of typhus, diarrhoea, and cholera, must be thoroughly cleansed and purified ; water must besupplied in better and larger quantities. Every means placed within our reach by art or science should at once be adopted to counteract the fearful effects to be apprehended from a recurrence of the plague which has, we fear, only abated, and which but slumbers, or rather smoulders, in those hideous dens which deal poison and death around. We would look upon it as a tempting of PROVIDENCE to neglect a trial of charcoal on the plan of Mr. ROGERS. It is calculated that at least 150,000 tons of impure and noxious matter, independent of cesspools, is daily poured into our river, poisoning air, earth, and water in its unseemly course, while a quantity of the most valuable manure is lost. Now, by the mixture 01 ... charcoal in proper proportion with this feculent stuff it at once becomes disinfected and deodorised. O ne great cause of disease and death would thus be cured at its source, while the curious property charcoal SUN, LONDON,' possesses of being able to absorb gas many times the extent of its volume, enables it to retain the several gases so useful in agriculture, without destroying their properties by any chemical combination or alteration. Thus, if the plan of Mr. ROGERS be sound, and we see no possible reason to doubt it, there is within our reach an effectual and safe mode of stopping the great sources of disease, while we form a new material, more valuable than the much-talked of guano, to fertilize our fields, and to add to the agricultural wealth of the land. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur contains the following : " An evening journal makes the appointment of M. Bois le Comte to Washington coincide with the diplo matic incidents that occurred to the French Minister in the United States, and the news of which only reached Paris yesterday. The meaning intended to be conveyed is completely erroneous. The Government was totally ignorant of what had passed in America when M. Bois le Comte was named." The PRESIDENT gave a grand diplomatic dinner on Thursday. The Marquis of NORMANDY and MM. MOLE and TRIERS were among the guests. The Governments of France and England are acting in the most perfect union and with the greatest energy in the support which they are afford ing the Porte in resisting the demands of Russia. The Journal des Debats has the following article on this subject, in which the substance of the note of Lord PALMERSTON to the Russian Minister is given almost as if from authority. The following is the article of the Debats : " From letters received from Constantinople, and from information derived from a good source, we are led to believe that the affair of the Hungarian refugees in turkey will be terminated much more promptly than was imagined. For our part we have never believed that a serious quarrel could arise from such a cause; but we thought that after having broken forth in such a violent manner Russian diplomacy would atleast take its time to make an honourable retreaty.nd:endeavour.te with draw its amour propre from the game in the most akil• 1 ,u 1 manner possible. We have reason to believe that after the departure of Prince do Radzivil, M. Titoff made overtures to the Divan which wero equivalent to a complete withdrawal of the pretensions of Russia. If this be the effect of an honourable repentance we cannot but congratulate him on it. It is, however, possible that this sudden veering about may be intended to veil some deep combination, which escapes our knowledge. Rus sian diplomacy is so skilful, and the Government of the Emperor Nicholas follows such strange paths I It is, in ,'act, said that when the idea of making the exorbitant demand for extradition was started, the Ministers and the advisers of the Czar endeavoured to turn him from the project, by representing to him the disastrous effect which it could not fail to have among the free people of the west, and that the reply which they obtained from their master was nearly as follows: Let me alone; I have my designs; I know the advantage I may one day derive from putting forward these pretensions, although I know very well that if I were the Grand Turk I certainly would not submit to them.' If this anecdote is correct, and we have reason to believe it to be so, the Emperor Nicholas has the merit of having justly foreseen, and has the advantage of seeing his prediction already partly realised. It is for liberal Europe to be on its guard, if it would prevent the other part of the prophecy from being accomplished at its expense. In the mean time it appears to s have resolutely adopted its plans, if we may judge from the note which the English Govern ment has addressed to St. Peter burgh, and which is no longer a secret to any one. This document, which has been ;already communicated to the French Government, and almost even to the public, with an eagerness which is the proof of an inflexible determination, begins by ad .nitting the great services which Russia has just ren dered to the cause of European peace by lending the aid its army to suppress the Hungarian insurrection, and the incontestible right which she has to demand that the rebels should not remain near her frontiers on the Turkish territory. But does she not hazard to compro mise the fruit of her efforts and of her victory, by put ting forth claims against the vanquished which wound the principles of liberal Europe ? The note adds, that without wishing to discuss the question of right, although it is open to discussion, the English Government cannot admit that, in the nineteenth century, with the progress which universal civilization has made, any State could demand from its neighbours the extradition of political individuals who, after their defeat, had sought an asylum in a foreign land. It concludes by expressing the firm hope that reasons of honour and of generosity will find an echo in the magnanimous heart of the Em peror Nicholas, and that the English Government, al ready solicited by its ally, the Sultan, will not be forced, by the persistance of the Russian agents at Constanti nople, to adopt means for maintaining principles, the defence of which is important to its political interests, and to its consideration in the world. The French Government up to this time has given less éclat to its proceedings than the Cabinet of Lord John Russell has done, but we are persuaded %lint ii lies been usUl..er firm nor less resolute. Besides, the opportunity was too good for it to be possible to allow it to escape ; the conduct to be pursued was too clearly traced out, and success too certain. The only thing which is yet in explicable to us in the whole affair, is the motive which could have induced Russia to advance so boldly on a ground where she was so certain to be compelled to draw back." The Patrie announces that the Turkish Ambassa dor at Vienna had received his passports. The organs of the Legitimists and parti pretre are full of eulogies of Russia and denunciations of England and the English, who are assured by the Assemblee Nationale, the organ of M. DE PALLOR', that they shall soon have to suffer for all they have inflicted on France. This feeling on the part of the parti pretre is quite as much religious as it is political. In the sitting of the Assembly on Friday, M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE announced that the Commit tee having blamed the form of a proposition be had lately presented to the Assembly, he had thought pro per to withdraw it and substitute for it three distinct , propositions—namely, one to the effect of repeal ing the law of April, 1b32, which banished the Bourbons of the elder branch, as also the Imperial family; a second, to repeal the decree of June, 1848, applicable to the Orleans family; and a third, to abrogate the decree of the Constituent Assembly of the 27th of June, 1848, condemning the insurgents of June to transportation. General D'HAUTPOUL, a Royalist, is appointed to succeed General RoszoLax in the command of the troops at Rome. It appears that the Piedmontese Chamber has re fused to vote the funds for paying the Austrian in demnity. The Conatitutionnel says : " M. u'Azeglio, and the sincerely liberal and honour able men with whom be is associated, have received, as we are told, with serenity the blow inflicted by the de. magogical majority. They are not shaken by it, and they will persevere with firmness in Carrying on the work confided to their hands. Upon them at this mo ment rests the fate of constitutional institutions in Pied mont. The triumph of the present opposition would be a signal for convulsion, and for deficit which would drive this country to seek for repose in the suppression of the representative regime." There has been but little business done at the Passage de l'Opera. Fives, which had fallen to 87f. 20c., have been done at 87f. 30c., but there appears to be a very gloomy feeling amongst speculators.

The demand of Russia for the extradition of the Hungarian refugees has created an intense feeling of indignation throughout the length and breadth of Fatherland. The whole population is with France and England in this quarrel ; and even in the Aus trian dominions the people are most indignant against their vassal EMPEROR, who has betrayed his country to Russia. CENTRAL GERMANY. --- - PROBABLE AGREEMENT OF AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA ON THE SETTLEMENT OF THE GERMAN CONSTITUTION. The following reached Cologne on Friday evening by the Berlin electric telegraph, and was immediately forwarded to the French Government : " VIENNA, OCT. 2.—The resignation of Prince Schwarsenberg is considered likely on account of the disposition manifested in a high quarter to come to a settlement with the principal Governments of Germany for the establishm en t o f a G erman const i tu ti on , an d it is affirmed that Baron de Schmerling, who had been the Prime Minister of the Archduke Vicar-General of the Empire, at Frankfort, will succeed the Prince Schwarzeaberg. " BERLIN, OCT. 4.—We learn th a t th e rep l y o f t h e Austrian Government concerning the important question of the German constitution, reached Vienna to-day. Austria proposes some new modification to the last pro ject of our Government. The Council of Ministers is now actually sitting in deliberation on these proposals. It is considered most likely that the two principal Sove reigns of Germany are on the point „ of coming to an un derstanding on this grave question. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Austrian Lloyds announces that the Austrian fleet in the Adriatic has been ordered to sail for the Dardanelles. The rumour of the assassination of GEORGET is contradicted. SCHWARZENDERG is, it IS said, to retire from the Ministry, and SCUMER. LING is to be called to the head of the Cabinet, of which COLLEREDO is to be a member. COLLEREDO has for months past been in London intriguing with our Tory reactionaries, and with the other enemies of liberty, who, like METTERNICH, have taken refuge in this country. The appointment of a Schmerling and Colleredo Ministry is equivalent to a withdrawal MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1849 of the Constitution, and to an inauguration of a reign of terror as the normal state of the Austrian Empire. The woman-flogger, FRANCIS, still continues his brutal cruelties towards women and children. Madame GUYON, the wife of an English subject, has been seized, with her children, and thrown into a dungeon. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was more active, the sales amounting to about 10,000 bales, including 8,000 American, 200 Egyptians, and 1,000 Surat. Of the above, 2,000 American were taken on speculation, and 1,000 ditto and 500 Surat for export. Prices of all kinds were firm.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done at previous quotations. In the Corn Market there is no change this morning. We have the fol:owing report upon the metal trade from Mr. W. Short:—"lron.—English bars:havelbeen in moderate request during the month, and are now to be had readily at 51. per ton, free on board, in Wales. For Staffordshire iron there has been a fair demand, and prices have scarcely altered during the month. Scotch pig iron is extremely flat; of mixed numbers, there are sellers for cash at 425. per ton free on board at Glasgow; no buyers beyoud 41s. 61, and few even at that. No. 1 Gartsherrie may be quoted 445. per ton. In Welch pig iron there is no business doing. Of Swedish iron several nice assortments offer at the moment at 11/. to 111. ss. per ton. Swedish Steel.—Kegs are held far better prices, the quantity in stock being greatly re duced. Copper is firm at quotations, and the copper houses not anxious sellers. Tin.—English is in fair de mand, but foreign continues flat. Tiu Plates.—Coke plates are still in great request. The tin-plate makers have not yet obtained a plentiful supply of water, and the production in consequence continues very limited. Lead is in fair demand, both for consumption and ex port. Spelter.—ln this article there has of late been a limited business, but the market is at present firm at my quotations. The stock is 2,920 tons, against 282,880 tons at this period last year." The accounts per Europa steamer, from America, are to Sept. 25. The Stock market was rather heavy at New York, owing to a report that the United States Minister for Foreign: Affairs, Mr. Clayton, was carry ing on a sharp and interesting correspondence with the representative of England relative to our alleged inter ference in the affairs of the South American Govern. ments. The rate of exchange on London was 109 - to 1091, with a moderate inquiry for bills. The value of dry goods entered for consumption into New York for the week was 433,504 dollars. Cotton was active and dearer, and Flour for local use more in demand. It is stated from New Orleans (September 1) that the aggregate value of produce :received, for the year just closed, was 2,210,541 dollars in excess of the year pre vious, and 8,043,564 dollars less than for the year 1847- 1848. The value of the exports from New Orleans, for the year ending June 30, 1849, was 65,363,571„d011ars against 67,182,323 dollars for the previous year. The improvement in prices for cotton, and the large receipts of flour and grain, have bad a very great influence in keeping up the aggregate value for the year, and to these items alone we attribute the excess over last year.: There haebeen an important;falling offin the past year, compared with 1847-48, in bacon, cotton, hemp, hides, hay, lard, lime, lead, pork in bulk, sugar, tobacco, and whisky; and an increase to some axtent in beef, corn, flour, pork, tierces, barrels, boxes and hogsheads, staves, tallow, and wheat. Considering the great variation in the receipt of many articles, compared with the previous yesr, the aggregate value continues very uniform. Average prices for corn, during the year 1848 and 1849, were higher than for the year previous; cotton higher, sugar higher, molasses lower, flour lower, and pork, mess and prime, higher. The difficulty with M. Poussin, the French Minister, was expected to be adjusted amicably, and the whole correspondence was published in the newspapers. The state of political affairs in Canada was still unsa tisfactory, and trade suffered thereby. At Montreal, on the 21st ult., trade was dull at 21s. 6d. to 225. for super fine.

We learn from Mexico that General Paredes was dead, but the United States papers state that there was no other new& The accounts from liamburgh are of Friday's date. The exchange on London was still at 13s. 10 d. The funds were flatter, but shares generally were firm. A further report of the Leipzic fair, to the 2d inst., states that a most excellent demand prevailed for British man factures, which had a preference over domestic fabrics, and commanded a greater advance, the quality being better, and the supply more limited, while the German manufacturers seemed anxious to dispose of their goods. From St. Petersburgh we have the exchange on London quoted 37i to 9.16. A return of the circulation of the principal Belgian banks gives the amount on the Ist inst. at 42,772,975 f., and the discounts at four millions. The English Stock Market has been heavier this morning notwithstanding the semi-official information of a probable revenue return for the quarter which ex pires on the 10th; but the tact is, that the Russian question is still viewed with anxiety, and acts as a weight upon the market in opposition to other favour able circumstances.

The merchant-ship Devon, from the Cape of Good Hope, has arrived, bringing two days' later news from that colony. The convicts in the Nelson had not then reached the Cape, but the Kent, with troops from Cork, which arrived on the 3d of August, reported having spoken a vessel three weeks pre viously with convicts for the Cape. The Brilliant sailed for England on the 2d of August. CABINET COUNCIL (THIS DAY).—A Cabinet Council (the third within a week) was held at the Foreign-office, this afternoon. There were present the Marquis of Lansdowne Lord John Russell (wh o arrived in town from Pembroke Lodge this morning), Earl Grey, the Earl of Carlisle, Viscount Palmer ston, Sir George Grey, the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Labouchere, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir Francis T. Baring. The Earl of Minto, the Mar quis of Clanricarde, and Sir John C. Hobhouse were absent from the Council, the first-named nobleman being at Minto Castle, the Marquis of Clanricarde at Portumna Castle, and Sir John Hobhouse, at Erlestoke Park. It is rumoured that the Russian and Turkish question has led to then repeated re-tinions of the Cabinet. BADEN. The official Carlsruhe Gazette contains a pro visional law relative to the war tribunals and courts martial. It is thus worded : " The Minister of War will confirm the sentence with reserve of our sanction, Ist, when the tribunal of war shall pronounce any penalty or sentence of ignominy against an officer or other official having the rank of an officer; 2(1, detention in the hctvie of correction for ten years at least against other military individuals in active service. " The Minister of War is authorised to mitigate the sentences passed by the tribunals of war, and which ho is called upon to confirm." The same gazette publishes another provisional law on the composition of a tribunal extraordinary, charged with deciding on affairs of honour that con cern Baden officers and military officials. This tribunal will consist of 1.5 members, from the rank of lieutenant-general to that- of lieutenant, both inclu• sive. The half of this latter grade may be chosen from the army of any other German state. The GRIND DUKE has appointed the Prussian Lieutenant-General SCHARNHORST to be Governor of Rastadt. PRUSSIA. The overbearing conduct of Russia has excited the most intense indignation in Berlin. In a note relative to the affairs of Switzerland, M. DE NESSEL• RODE introduces the following expression :—" The European action of Prussia depends entirely on her good understanding with Austria." Now, seeing that Austria is herself under the thumb of Russia, this sentence actually amounted to a threat of so obvious a kind as to need no illustration. The reply of the Prussian Minister was as bold and spirited as if it had been dictated by the great FREDERICK himself. HOLLAND. TUE HAGUE, OCT. 6.—The Ministerial crisis still continues. Their deliberations respecting the new combination were again continued with much energy. Yesterday several conferences took place, in which M. DONKEE CUETIUS, M. Lion- BECKE, and several other gentlemen took an active part. It is asserted, with every appearance of probability, that the new Cabinet will be com posed as follows :—Foreign Affairs, Lightenvelt; Interior, Thorbecke ; Finance, Von Bisse ; Colonies, J. C. Band ; Marine, Van Den Bosch ; War, General Knoll; Reformed Religion, Baron Ilemsha ; Roman Catholic Religion, Matsherts ; Justice, Severnstern, Procurator-General of Groningen. Up to this mo ment, however, this intelligence has not been officially confirmed, but it is confidently expected that the above list will terminate the Ministerial crisis. A long conference had taken place between the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the French Ambas sador, after which the Ambassador set out for Paris, at two o'clock in the morning. The Staats Courant publishes a Royal decree, which fixes the number of Protestant ministers in the Netherlands West Indies at twenty. They are to receive a stipend of 3,600, 4,800, and 6,000 florins. M. PFELIPOEE has been appointed ruler of the Uni versity of Leyden for the scholastic year 1849-1850. T ORKEY. The French journal the Temps, of yesterday, publishes a letter from Constantinople, which states that nothing can exceed the enthusiasm of the Turks for Sir STRATFORD CANNING. It was rumoured in Constantinople that Russia was endeavouring to back out of the affair, and that the refugees would be fur nished with British, French, and American passports. The French Constitutionnel has the following letter from Constantinople, dated Sept. 19 : " At the conclusion of the Council, which was held on the 16th, in order to deliberate on the kind of ulti matum presented by the Russian Minister, the Porte forwarded to M. de Piton a note, in which it said that it did not consider it its duty to make any change in its resolution not to grant the extradition of the Hungarian refugees. In this note it again insisted on the motives which had determined its conduct, particu larly the refusal given by Austria and Russia on several similar occasions to deliver up Turkish subjects, and on its offer to send the refugees into the interior, and to enter into an engagement to take such measures as would prevent them causing fresh disturbances, either in Aus tria or in Russia. By the same note the Porte informed the Russian Minister that Fuad Effendi, who was then at Bucharest as Imperial commissioner in the Danubian principalities, had received orders from the Sultan to proceed to St. Petersburgh as envoy extraordinary. with an autograph letter in reply to that of the Czar, and that 1.. 1... t ..a.i i., 7 this means to arrive at a solution satisfac tory to both countries. The fact is, that the nomina tion of Chekib Effendi having raised certain objec tions, the Porte hastened to nominate Fuad Effendi in his place, but kept this determination a secret, in order that no fresh objections might be raised. In the morning of the 17th the ministers of Russia and Austria announced officially to the Porte the suspension of diplomatic relations between their legations and the government of the Sultan. On the same day Prince Radzivil left Constantinople. The Turks continue to send considerable reinforcements to their army of the Danube, at the same time that they have enjoined on the general commanding thelzarmy at Roumelia, 40,000 strong, and to all the pachas on the frontiers to hold themselves in readiness to march at the first signal. It has also ordered the governors of the provinces to assemble the provincial militia, forming a considerable army of reserve ; and preparations are also being made to fortify the Bosphorus. The fleet is in a state to go to sea, and may in a few hours be at the mouth of the Black Sea. The intended voyage of the Sultan will not take place, or, at all events, it is post poned." It appears that the Hungarian refugees, to the number of 5,000, are still at Widin. Russia, before demanding their extradition, had scattered her gold among the Ottoman functionaries, and had actually secured a majority of the Turkish Council. The Cabinet, thanks to the high sense of honour of the SULTAN, overruled the decision of the Council. The refugees were, however, urged to embrace the ilohametan religion as a means of safety. Rem alone, it is said, seemed incli ne d t o li s t en t o th ese overtures, and he said that he would make any sacrifices to secure a command which should enable him to bear arms against Russia. We may therefore, expect to hear in the event of a war that' BEM has been entrusted with a high command in the Turkish service. He has, it is said, assumed the name of AMURATH, and is a three-tailed Pacha. In accepting the proposition made to him by the Mollah, BEM declared that his life was devoted to hostility against the Russians, and th a t h e wou ld adopt any steps by which he might be enabled to indulge that hostility. A council was held at Kos ' sum s to consider the Turkish offer, and when KOSSUTO'S turn came to speak, he briefly reminded his companions, in his impressive language, that now, in a strange land, where all authoritative bonds were sundered, each one was at liberty to act according to his own views, but that, for his part, welcome, if need be, the axe or gibbet, but curses on the tongue that dared to make him so infamous a proposition. GUYON, DEMBINSKI, and ZAMOYSKI declared them selves equally determined; this settled the waverers, and the Turkish propositions were rejected by all save BEM. KOSSUTH has written to Sir STRATFORD CANNING, asking to place himself and his compatriots formally under the protection of England. ITALY. The Chamber of Turin has rejected the credit of sixteen_ millions destined for the payment of the first in stalment of the Austrian indemnity, on which M. D'AZEGLIO resolved upon a dissolution of the Cham ber, with the view of having the Constitution revised. The French Ministerial journal in making this an nouncement says— " The firmness of the Cabinot saves the country, and saves true liberty; our warrant is the liberal sentiments of the Piedmontese Ministry, and especially of its chief, the Count D'Azeglio, whose noble antecedents place him in the first rank amongst the regenerators of Italy." The Chambers will, it is said, be immediate dis solved, and a charte octroyee published. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 2d announces in a postscript that a telegraphic dispatch had just brought the news of the arrival off Spezia of the Monzambano steamer, with the body of CRAELES ALBERT on board ; the Monzambano was waiting. for orders to proceed to Genoa. The Ministers were to leave Turin for Genoa on the evening of the 2d. The Riforma of Lucca states from Leghorn, 29th ult., that the British Consul had protested in the name of the English merchants settled at Leghorn against the forced loan which the Chamber of Com merce had directed to be levied upon merchants. The English are ready to pay the taxes, but refuse to contribute to the forced._ loan. The goods of several have been destrained upon in consequence ; some have paid and protested at the same time. The whole affair has been referred to the British Government. lONIAN ISLANDS. The Oesereatore Triestine has advices from Corfu up to the 25th ult. On the preceding day the British fleet, of three three-deckers, three two deckers, a first-rate frigate, a steam frigate, and another steamer, cast anchor there. Soon after the steam frigate weighed anchor, and proceeded in the direction of Trieste. The other steamer and the lonian one set out at the same time, with his Excel lency on board, for Cephalonia, where new distur bances, it was said, had broken out. Vessels from the lonian Isles have been subjected in Greece to 15 days' luarantine. PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS. ONE O'CLOCK.

Advices from New York, to the 25th ult., state that more business was doing in Wheat and Flour for ship ment to England, at slightly improved rates. In the near continental ports very few transactions took place last week; but at Dantzic and Odessa about 40,000 quarters had been taken for the United Kingdom. The principal country markets held on Saturday were well supplied with English Wheat in excellent condition. All kinds were a dull sale, and again lower to purchase. In Spring Corn, except fine Malting Barley, very little was passing. Up to our market last week, the receipts of English Grain, coastwise, were very moderate; but upwards of 4,000 quarters of Oats reached us from Ire land. The foreign imports amounted to 27,457 quarters of Wheat, 7,862 ditto of Barley, 16,562 ditto of Oats, 130 ditto of Ilye, 300 ditto of Beans, 1,112 ditto of Peas, 22 ditto of Tares, 3,142 ditto of Linseed, 90 ditto of Mus tard Seed, 379 ditto of sun.lry seeds, and 296 sacks of Flour. Fresh up to our market this morning, the arrivals of Wheat from Essex was comparatively small—that from Kent, tolerably extensive, and of full average quality. From Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, &c., the supply was trifling. The market, although the attendance of buyers was by no means large, opened steadily for the best English Wheats, and a clearance of the Essex stands was effected, at prices equal to those obtained on Monday last. The finest Kentish Wheats sold without difficulty, at full currencies; but the damp qualities hung on hand, at barely late rates. It will be seen, therefore, that we have no change to notice in the value of the general runs of home-grown Wheats. A few offers came to hand from the eastern districts to ship Wheats at ruling prices. There was an increase in the supply of foreign Wheats ; but a large portion of it was much ' out-of-condition. Fine qualities were tolerably firm, at full quotations ; and there was a Improve ment in the demand for middling red parcels. All other kinds were slow inquiry, but not lower. The Sound list shows a large number of vessels as having passed the Great Belt. In floating cargoes very few transactions were reported. With English Barley we were very scantily supplied, but the show of foreign was good. For malting qualities, there was an improved in quiry, at very full prices; but grinding and distilling sorts were a slow sale, at barely late rates. The supply of Malt was again small; nevertheless, it was quite equal to the wants of the buyers, all kinds ruling dull, at unaltered currencies. The aggregate quantity of Oats was tolerably extensive. Sound Corn was in fair re quest, at fully last week's prices. Damp samples were somewhat neglected. For Beans the inquiry was wholly retail, at last Monday's quotations. The quantity offering was on the increase. In Peas, very few transactions took place, but we have no t,ctual fall to notice in value. Indian Corn and Meal were offered freely at late rates. Fine Flour was tolerably steady; but other kinds were heavy. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.
