- experience of the world. Ireland has 50,000 armed men; but it has almost no industry, pays no direct taxes, I and is sacrificed to the privileges of the land and to the supremacy of the Church. In Great Britain we have periodical insurrection, showing a wide-spread discon tent. To all this Government can apply no remedy. Constituted as it now is, it is powerless to grapple with these evils. It is almost wholly aristocratic, and there fore it cannot remedy evils which arise chiefly from aris tocratic predominance and privileges. The Hi:v.Be of Lords is not a representative body; the House of Com mons is really so only to a small extent; the Cabinet is selected from one class, and dare not act against that class. Government is at a dead- lock. It can look on, but eannot act. The democratic element must be called in to save the Government and the country. It has effected past reforms, and future reforms must come from it. The question then arises, how is this new power to be brought in? There is opinion in the coun try, but it requires to be concentrated and directed. The constitution offers a mode of doing this: the register and the 40s. freehold qualification are the pathway to further reforms. By this mode of working, boroughs m ay be secured to he Liberal party, and counties may be gained; and then , by legitimate and moral means, a steady advance may be made towards honest and good government.

In, 13"1011X LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 184, The inhabitants of Manchester have ever assumed a Prominent position when abus es were to be reme died, or the nation restored to rights that had been unjustly invaded. In the present instance they are not unworthy of their ancient reputation. They have assumed a prominent position in the great struggle that has already commenced. They have joined their brethren of Liverpool and Edinburgh in a t e mperate but Arm demand for financial reform, and have expressed their determination " to cooperate w ith the Liverpool Association and other similar bodies in their efforts to reduce the public expenditure to it least the standard of 1835, and to secure a more equitable and ecenomwal system of taxation?' And the men of Manchester will accomplish what they have thus undertaken. The magnificent meeting held last night in the Free-Trade Hall ; the vast numbers by which the doors of that spacious edific e were besieged, and its area and galleries crowded to excess long before the hour appointed for the com mencement of the'proceedings, afforded the most com plete and satisfactory evidence of the strength of purpose, the unflinching resolution by which they were actuated. It was, indeed, a cheering spectacle to behold the ch itnpions of free trade assembled together, in the ec , ne of their former labours, and their former triumphs—to witness GEORGE WILSON, the respected and indefatigable chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League, again presiding over an assemblage of many thousands of his fellow-citizens, and RICHARD ConnaN, and JOHN BRIGHT, and TROMAS MILNER GIBsoN, and ALEXANDER HENRY, again addressing the people in fervent and eloquent language, and again teaching their associates the manner in which political victories may be achieved. The good old days of the Anti-Corn -law League were forcibly recalled to our recollection —the same earnestness and decision were perceptible on every side, and the same machinery will be brought into operation to attain their objects. After such a demonstration we cannot entertain—who can entertain ?—a doubt but that the most complete success will attend their exertions ; that peaceful and constitutional agitation will again obtain the required reforms, and that Parliament will recognise and submit to the voice of public opinion clearly and unequivocally expressed. The Chairman stated the objects of the meeting, briefly but intelligibly. There could be no mistake or misunderstanding. He told the assembled multi tudes that "he bespoke their co-operation in favour of no ill-advised scheme, of no immature project—of nothing which should involve violent changes, or changes to be accomplished by violent means, that "their aim was to collect into one focus the mass of floating opinion in the district—to give it force and direction—and to concenti ate it, for a time at least, upon the practical objects of economical and financial reform." The torrents of applause with which the state ment was received evidenced the unanimous assent of the hearers and how fully and cordially they par ticipated in the sentiments of their Chairman. The Honourable Member for the West Riding proposed the first resolution, and we rejoice to say that its terms were not limited to measures of economy and retrenchment merely, or to bringing back the national expenditure to the standard of 183 i, but that coupled therewith was the determination to secure a more equitable and economical system of taxation. This looks as if the Honourable Gentleman had reconsidered the opinion put forward in his letter of the 18th ultimo, and that he no longer considered it inexpedient to propose any " modifica tions or substitutions of existing taxes." The resolu • tion implies not only that a more economical, but a more equitable, system is required ; and no system can be equitable or just that places the greater por tion of the burdens upon those least able to sustain them—that impedes production—that subjects the people to domiciliary visits on the most frivolous and vexatious pretexts—that imposes restrictions upon our commerce with other lands—that makes the precarious earnings of the merchant or trader contribute as largely to the exigencies of the State as the certain income of the possessor of landed estates or of accumulated thousands. The resolution means that direct taxa tion is to be sought for, that there is to be a total alteration of the present system, or it means nothing. We rejoice to find that Mr. COBDEN has in this respect yielded to the general feeling, and that he has sacrificed his own views in order to ob tain general unanimity. We are, perhaps, wrong in saying " has sacrificed his own views," be cause we cannot dcubt that his keen and vigorous intellect clearly perceived not only the inexpediency, but the injustice of the present system. He has found, however, that there is " a very great force of public opinion in favour of direct taxation,' that it has been " already created and organized,'• that the nation is ripe for an onward movement, in that respect, as well as in the demand for economy and retrenchment. It is not now necessary to enter into the argu ments adduced by the Honourable Gentleman in support of the resolution, they are already familiar to the public, having been put forward in the letter to which we have just alluded, and commented upon by ourselves and other journalists. The second resolution, proposed by Mr. INIILNEu GIBsoN, related to the franchise; it stated that no per manent reduction of taxation could be effected until the people obtained a more direct control over the House of Commons by an extension of the electoral representation. This important subject has, there fore, again been supported by the men of Manchester, and on a fitting occasion. Taxation and representation have been intimately connected together. "No taxa tion without representation," has been a well-known watchword, and they will again be united together. The third resolution, proposed by JOHN BRIGHT, spoke of the manner in which the contest is to be carried on. The extension of 40s. free holders, which was found so efficacious when adopted by the Anti- Corn-Law-League and the system of watching the register is again to be pursued, and the Chairman was authorised to take steps for the promotion of an association to secure the objects of the meeting. Again, we congratulate the inhabitants of Manchester and the people of England on a demonstration so glorious, one that must excite such lively feelings of hope—such joyous anticipa tions in the heart of every Briton. Her MAJESTY'S Chief Secretary for Foreign Affairs may rest assured of this, that before the approaching session of Parliament has very far ad vanced he will be severely catechised by his anta gonists. It is the evil fortune of Lord PALMERSTON to have more rancorous and petulant assailants than any other statesman among the present ad visers of the SOVEREIGN. It is his good fortune, however, to possess at the same time a perfectly inexhaustible share of equanimity, and to be less liable to be sur prised into a dilemma, whether in the toils of diplo matic correspondence or in the collision of political debate, than any one amongst the Ministers who hold office under Lord JOHN RUSSELL. Never, perhaps, will these invaluable qualities prove of more signal advantage to the Foreign Secretary than during the spring of 1849, for never, we are satisfied, will his opponents be more vituperative in their attack or less scrupulous of infringing the delicate bounds of secresy hitherto preserved round the administrator entrusted with the duties devolving upon the office of the Foreign Department. Although our appreciation of the Noble Lord's ability in warding off the blows levelled against his line of policy is, if possible, more full than ever, in consequence of the success with which he has recently passed through so many and such extraordinary difficulties, we must, nevertheless, confess that we look forward to the cross-examination to which he will be most certainly subjected with a considerable degree of trepidation. For human nature is still human nature, even in a bosom steeled against the ordinary weaknesses of irritability by a lengthened familiarity with the invigorating in fluences of, government. Lord PALMERSTON will require an almost miraculous amount of self-com mand to baffle the wiles of a fierce and infuriated Opposition. He must strengthen himself against the seductive warmth of his indignation, by a re membrance of the integrity of his motives, by a conviction that the decision of posterity will be more just than the judgment of contemporaries, and by the reflection that the very policy which is being now traduced as un-English, and almost unconstitutional, has maintained peace between Great Britain and the insurgent nations of Europe, without derogating in any manner from the dignity of his own country, or interfering with the respective interests of the popu lations of Christendom. Latterly it has become actually and literally the fashion to condemn the Ministerial acts of Lord PALMERSTON. No matter what may be the course adopted by this eminent statesman, simply because that course has been followed according to his sug gestion it is at once vilified as odious to humanity and disgraceful to civilization. And against the man who has steered the fortunes of England through the hurricanes and the revolutions of 1848, is pitted that excellent ABERDEEN, whose character has been damaged, as visibly as the rind o f a bad orange. The under - secretary of the middle-aged gentleman who is endeavouring to lull the anguish of his conscience by writing sophistical pamphlets in a back drawing-room in Brompton, is seriously matched against the man w h o has proved himself a Master of Diplomacy in the Administrations of RUSSELL, of MELBOURNE, of GREY, of WELLINGTON, Of GODIRICII, of CANNING, and of LivEizcooL. To show the consistency, moreover, of those dis sentients who mention the policy of Viscount PAL MBRSION either in abusive or in depreciative lan guage, it is only necessary to look to a few of the charges levelled, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly, against that policy during the course of the great Year of Revolutions. In refer ence to one country he was too Conservative, while in regard to another he was too Democratic. One while he interfered too much, at anot h er too little. If through t he medium of his brother, as Minister Plenipotentiary, he strove to compass the escape of the Sicilians from the grinding and de basing tyranny of the Neapolitan despot, he was at fault. If, through the lips of the same relative, in an unofficial capacity, he expressed sympathy to Pits IX. in his undeserved misfortunes, he was still more grievously and irredeemably in error. In every quarter, according to these Smolletts of politicians, those Smellfunguses of diplomacy, he committed state crimes, and—worse than state crimes—mistakes. Yet, beyond all his other atrocities, he has been more incessantly accused of being guilty of the most flagrant acts of lize majeste against the various Sovereignties of the Con tinent. Like M. DB LAMARTINE, be has been taxed with participation in the infamous labours of the re volutionary propaganda. Lord PALMERSTON has his risquons tout as well as the poet-statesman of Fe bruary. Like that eminent man, the Noble Lord has found his conciliative efforts distorted into struggles for the excitation of an universal rebellion. Both have been attacked as the arch-enemies of peace—the one a secret and the other an avowed conspirator. Both in their several degrees have experienced the un caused animosity of the multitude. Both have tasted the bitterness of a systematic misrepresenta - tion. Both have discovered to their sorrow, that with the fickleness proverbial among all races and in all times, it has become the fashion to assail and reprobate two of the most illustrious servants of the French and English peoples. Against this mania—this mania so degrading to France and England—we lift up our voices unceasingly in tones of earnest regret and profound in dignation. For the justification of M. DE LAMARTINE we refer again and again to every one of the gene rous measures which marked the three months of his Government, and to every one of those eloquent syl lables which fell like oil from the lips of the great orator upon the troubled waters of a general and appalling insurrection. For the justification of Lord PALMERSTON we point to the brilliant success with which he has for upwards of thirty years participated in, or guided, the administration of the foreign affairs of Great Britain, and last, but not least, of all his Ministerial achievements—the felicity with which he has conducted the destinies of his native country through the perils of 1848, that memorable year which will be known for ever as the Year of Revolu tions. Traduced to• day—both these men will be I estimated correctly hereafter. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In the National Assembly on Tuesday, M. GREVY presented the report of the Committee appointed to consider the proposition of M. RATEAU for a dis3olu don of the Assembly. The following is an abstract of M. GREVY'S re • port : M. Grevy—Our Hon. Colleague, M. Bateau, pre sented a proposition, couched in the following terms:— "Art. 1. The Legislative Assembly is convoked for the 19th March, 1849. The powers of the National Con stituent Assembly shall expire on the same day. " ' Art. 2. The election for the nomination of the 750 members, who are to compose the Legislative Assembly , shall take place on the 4th of March, 1849. Each de partment shall elect the number of representatives deter mined by the table annexed to the present Bill. " Art. 3. Until the period fixed for its► dissolution, the National Assembly shall occupy itself principally with the electoral law, and that relative to the Council of State.' " This proposition was referred to the committee of legislation and of justice, where it gave rise to very animated discussions, and opinions were divided equally upon it. The committee of justice, charged with the report, has confided to me the mission of making know n to you its conclusions. The duration of the Constituent Assembly is determined by its mandate ; it can neither withdraw before it has fulfilled it, nor can it prolong its existence beyond that period. In the first case it would be guilty of desertion, and in the second of usurpation ; in both cases it would betray the confidence placed in it by the people.—(Hear, hear.) The question as to whether the Constituent Assembly should dissolve itself is, therefore, reduced to this e—Has it ful filled its mandate ? The National Assembly itself at the moment of commencing the discussion on the constitution decided that with it should be adjoined the organic laws, both of which were necessary for the well being of the Republic ; in fact, without these laws, the Constitution itself would be but a dead letter. At a later perioi the Assembly decided by an article in the Constitution that it should itself pass these laws. It cannot either dissolve itself without having finished its work, or tear up one of the articles of the Constitution which it has voted. It has been said that in presence of the election of the President his power was incompatible with that of the Constituent Assembly.—(Hear, hear.) But where then is that incompatibility? It existed neither in a legal nor in a political sense. Apprehen sions had been entertained that the National Assembly would be hostile to the President of the Republic; and certain persons even had at last persuaded themselves of the fact, in consequence of so earnestly desiring it; but the attitude of the Assembly in presence of the power of the President has given a contradiction to that supposition, and its late votes bear testimony to its desire to maintain concord between the great powers of the State. This question of the dissolution is one of life or death for the Republic. Those who entertain any doubts on the subject may be convinced of it by the ardour of the party spirit and by the violence of their attacks against the Assembly. Is it necessary for it to justify itself against the reproach addressed to it of wishing to make its sittings permanent? Who is there that is ignorant that its mandate, and consequently its duration, are exactly determined; that a little time will suffice it to complete its task, and that its existence will be much shorter than the Constituent Assemblies which have preceded it. In consequence the Committee of Justice, in accord with the Committee of Legislation, has the honour to propose to you not to take the propo sition of M. Ratean into consideration. " After a few remarks the report was ordered to be printed and distributed, and the discussion fixed for Friday." In the course of the sitting the Works in Prisons Bill was passed, and the election of M. LUCIEN NA POLEON BONArARTE for Corsica declared void for ir regularity. The efforts of the re-actionaries to get up a sham display of popular feeling against the Assembly are likely to prove abortive. The old system of " enor mous lying" is, as usual, with the re actionary party unscrupulously resorted to, a sort of free trade in ca lumny being established among the re - actionary organ s on both sides the Channel. The falsehood, too bare faced for immediate production in the French market, makes its first appearance in the English re-actionary journals, and is immediately copied into the French organs of the conspiracy. This, however, has been tried too often. The French people are becoming aware of the existence of the reactionary conspiracy ; they know the conspirators and their motives, and they will not suffer themselves to be duped so easily as here tofore. It is true a great splutter is kept up by the Phillipists, Legitimists, and Parti Pretre about the unpopularity of the Assembly, and petitions got up after the fashion of the Chartist monster petition, and bearing fictitious signatures, are every day pre sented from places of which no one ever heard, pray ing for its immediate dissolution ; but when any at tempt is made to get up a bora Vide petition, or a lona Jide demonstration against the Assembly it signally fails. Several lithographic petitions, praying for a dissolution of the Assembly, have been hawked about the Bourse but without success. The touters were Indefatigable, but they did not get ten persons to attach their names to them. It would be well that the Assembly should adopt some method for testing the genuineness of the signatures attached to petitions presented to them. The associates of the CURIBRES, the TESTES, and the PRASLINS, and the defenders of the Freres LEOTADES would not scruple to forge a signature to a petition. M. ODILoN BARROT is still desirous of being appointed Vice-President. Should he be no minated to that office, the PRESIDENT of the Republic will, it is said, confide the task of constructing a new Ministry to M. DUFAURE. In the course of the sitting of Assembly on Tues day M. Bixio gave the following explanation of the causes which led to his secession from the Ministry. He said, " The Assembly will do me the justice, I think, to allow that I seldom abuse its patience. In the late dis cussion, relative to the ministerial modification not hav ing been personally referred to, I did not think myself called on to make any statement. Yet I had a serious interest to give some explanation, for I was perfectly aware that the cause of my resignation had been vari ously interpreted, and that calumny had even seized on that act of mine, to attribute it to I know not what embarrassment in my private affairs.—(Movement.) As long as this calumny remained in the state of a rumour which could not be laid hold of, it was my duty to despise it; but at present, when It has assumed a palpable form in an article of a provincial journal, the organ of the most flagrant defamation, I am obliged to notice it. It is, no doubt, an artful system of tactics to depreciate certain men, in order thereby to undervalue the work in which they are concerned—in which they have taken part. I have considered myself called on to lay before the Procureur of the Republic the number of the Courrier de la Gironde of January 5. In doing so, I obeyed not only a sentiment of personal dignity, but, at the same time, a feeling of respect for the National Assembly, which frequently honoured me with its suffrages, and with the Cabinet, which I had the affliction to leave. Since I am in the tri bone, I will just say a word relative to other rum ours which have been in circulation. It is altogether false that during the time that I was a member of the Cabi net, any difference arose amcngst the persons composing . it; we were always perfectly in accord , both men and things. The same accord did not cease to exist amongst es when, in consequence of the conflict, much . to be re fretted, between the President of the Republic and . the Minister of the Interior, the whole Cabinet thought itself _L THE SUN, _LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JAN UARY 11, 1849, called on to tender its resignation. The Honourable M. de Malleville was of opinion that he ought to persist in that step. In accepting the joint responsibility of his resignation, I obeyed the suggestions of my conscience, and have not to give here any explanation on the matter. My Honourable Colleagues thought other wise : they yielded to feelings which cannot be too much applauded, and the generous motive which actuated them has been looked on with honour by the country. As for myself, permit me to assure you that I resume my place as representative without the slightest feeling of annoyance, and my support is certain to be given to the honourable men whose devotedness and patriotism I can appreciate better than any one else.—(Loud approbation.) M. 0. Barrot, the President of the Council—The Hon. Gentleman, in considering himself obliged to ascend the tribune to repel a miserable calumny, did not sufficiently calculate on the strength of public opinion; that calumny could not possibly affect him.—(Hear, hear.) As to us, in the retirement of M. Bixio, we saw only one thing—an honourable sentiment, carried perhaps to excess.— (Hear, hear.) The incident then terminated. On Tuesday evening there was a numerous party at the palace, at which all the members of the BONA PARTE family were present, as well as the President, Vice-President, and Secretaries of the Assembly, and the Cabinet Ministers. On this occasion the ladies of the Ministers were presented, the Princess MATHILDE DEMIDOPY doing the honours. General Duroua, Commander-in-Chief of the federal troops of Switzerland, has arrived in Paris, and has paid a visit to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. It may be remembered that M. Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE served under General Durouß, and re • ceived from him instructions in what concerns the military art. On Monday evening the first Ministerial receptions were given at the Ministries on the right bank of the Seine. That which took place at the Ministry of Justice in the Place Vendome, was by far the most brilliant re-union which has been witnessed in Paris since the revolution. Every eminent man of every political party, the members of the Mountain alone excepted, was present at one time or other in the course of the evening, besides a considerable number of ladies.

Madrid journals of the 4th have been received. On the preceding day, during the course of the debate on the Address, Senor CORTINA directed the attention of the Cortes to the state of the relations between Spain and England. He unhesitatingly condemned the conduct the Spanish Government had pursued towards Sir HENRY BULWER, declared that the Ministers had brought forward no sufficient evi dence to prove the charges which they had brought against hill* ridiculed the idea that the life of Sir HENRY BULWER could have been in danger in Ma drid, and hinted that the resignation of IN ARYAEz might facilttate the arrangement of the differences subsisting between Spain and her old ally. Senor PIDAL, in reply, adverted to the great dis advantage in which the Government was placed in speaking on the subject. He insisted that no offence had been intended to the English nation, and alluded to the special mission of the Count of MIRASOL in proof of it. He said it was more a personal question than one of Cabinet to Cabinet, that Senor CORTINA. had admitted the right that every Government had to take such a step when it had well-founded reasons for it, regretted that he had not seen the present case under that point of ♦iew, but declined going into the merits of the case as desired by Senor CORTINA, who asked where were the foundations of the conduct pursued. Into that question he declined to enter.

The following note has been transmitted by the Austrian Prime Minister to the Plenipotentiary at the Central Government at Frankfort t " Without entering into a deep discussion of the pro gramme presented by the Minister, M. de Gagern, to the German National Assembly, which we reserve for ano ther period, I think it my duty at once to call the atten tion of the Minister to the following points. Mention is made in this programme of a supposition that Austria is unwilling to form part of the future federal state; that is to say, that she intends to exclude herself from it. Nevertheless, in the exposition of the policy of the Aus trian Cabinet, made on November 27, at Kremsier, it is expressly said that the settlement of Germany shall be the object of ulterior negotiations, and nothing is said of any views similar to those attributed to us in the programme of M. de Gagern. From this it results, that, as we do not admit the premises, itlis impossible for us to admit the consequences. Austria is still one of the federal powers of Germany. This po sition, which results from the natural development of re lations which have existed for a thousand years, she has no thought of renouncing. If, as we sincerely desire, the interest of the different parts of Germany become more intimately assimilated, if the work of the Constitu tion, in which Austria concur; be brought tto a good end, Austria will know how to hold her place in it. The authorisation for opening diplomatic relations with the Austrian empire, which M. de Gageru has solicited from the National Assembly, is a consequence of this supposition which we have repudiated. We have, like all the other federal states of Germany, a plenipotel3- tiary to the Central Government. That will be sufficient as for the past to keep up relations of affairs with the Mi nistry. I consequently invite you to communicate with M. de Gagern to induce him, for the reasons above set forth, to abandon his project of having diplomatic rela tions with Austria. What we desire is a satisfactory solution of the great question. Attempts shall be made to obtain it, as the Minister may be assured, by means o f a n arrangement and understanding with the German Governments, among which that o f A us t r i a occ upi e s the fisrt place. We are well disposed to extend him the hand t o as sist him in his difficult task ; but we hope also, as we have reason to believe from his rare statesmanlike qualities, that he will know how to appreciate exactly all the circumstances, as also that accommodating spirit which alone can bring about a satisfactory result." The Diet was to re-assemble at Kremsier on the 7th. FRAN KFORT. The Committee on the Austrian question did not receive the Austrian documents until the evening of the sth. GAGERN has sent in a s pi r it e d a dd ress t o th e Austrian Committee, ably justifying himself and his interpretation of the liramsier programme, and de nouncing any and every attempt of the reactionary party to restore anything like the old Diet of Confe deration, as certain to be both a failure and a disgrace. He speaks very nobly, and finally modifies his former motion so far as to req ues t perm i ss i o n to commence nego tiations with Austria, in the name of the Central Fower, for the adjustment of the relations of Austria and Germany, without insisting on the instrumen tality of ambassadors. The debate was to commence on Monday. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Borsenhalle of the 6th says, the evacuation of Schleswig seems to be confirmed. A native of Altona also, who has just returned from Schleswig, says, that it was spoken of at the head-quarters as an undoubted fact. The Schleswig-Holstein Gazette publishes a long address of the ladies of Haden;leben to her Majesty Queen VICTORIA, in which they entreat her to inter fere and prevent the intended partition of Schleswig from Germany. The address is signed by 61 4 per sons in Hadersleben, 580 in Apenrade, Gravensheim, and Lygurnkloster ; 518 in Tondern and Leek, and 500 in Flensburg. All these signatures are those of ladies of the higher ranks of society. A similar address has been sent to the German Central Go vernment, and to the Provisional Government of the Duchies. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. In Wallachia no change of importance has taken place. The reports of the removal of the Russian troops are anything but confirmed, and the Imperial Commissioners begin to lord it more and more over the Turkish officials. They hare appointed a com mission to inquire into the causes of the Wallachian revolution, and the report of that commission will necessarily involve fresh rigour. The relation be tween the Divan and Russia is, therefore, becoming weaker. _ . _ The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs had written a note on the subject to the Russian Minister at Constantinople, complaining of the conduct of the Russian Commissioners at Bucharest, interfering in its polity; and in the internal administration ; making arrests ; issuing decrees—in fine, acting the superior in everything, without even consulting the local authorities, or concerting ?with the Commis sioners of the Porte. The Russian Alinister replied, in a very high tone, that there was no need of consulting any person about arresting and punishing anarchists and revolu tionists ; that besides, since his arrival at Bucharest, the Turkish Commissioner acted just as he thought proper, ss ithout consulting any person, and that he, the Russian Minister, had adopted the same course. The Porte did not reply to the second note, but the Minister replied verbally, with a good deal of spirit, that at Bucharest the Commissioners of the Porte were at home; that the SULTAN was sovereign prince of those provinces ; and that he was astonished to see Russia place herself on an equal footing with the SULTAN in regard to the rights which he exercised in the province. This reply did not calm, nor, indeed, is it calculated to calm the which reigns be tween the Porte and the Russian mission ; but this reserve in favour of the rights of the SULTAN was necessary. ITALY. It was reported in Rome on the 3d that great dis sensions existed between the Cardinals and the Pore. LAMBRUCSHINI (the Austrian agent) and ANTON ELLI urge the POPE to have recourse to an armed inter vention. The POPE himself and the other Cardinals are opposed to the proposition. On the 41st De cember and Ist January there were grand civic fetes in Rome. The Dieta Italians of Bologna gives an account of the events that took place there on the 30th and 31st ult., in consequence of the act of adhesion to the POPE'S protest voted on the preceding day by the Communal Council. On the 30th the clubs were assembled, and the battalion Zambeccari was under arms. After a brief discussion, a protest against the address of the Municipality was adopted by the clubs, in which, after observing that the members of the Communal Coun cil, not being elected by the people, have no right to protest in the name of the people against any political act, the late events at Rome are passed under review, the acts of the Legislative Assemblies approved as measures of necessity, and the Communal Council advised either to retract their declaration or to resign. On receiving this menacing document, supported by an excited population, Senator ZUCCHINI took twenty four hours' time to decide; and meantime the Pro• legate published the decree of the Junta convoking a Constituent Assembly. The Provisional Government of Venice has issued a decree establishing a permanent Assembly of the representatives of the State of Venice, with the power of deciding upon everything relating to the interior or exterior condition of the state. The representatives are elected by direct universal suffrage, in the proportion to the population of 1 to 1,500. All citizens twenty-one years of age and upwards are electors. The elections will commence on the 20th of January, and the representatives will meet immediately after; their mandate is to last six months. The _Alba of Florence states, from Parma, 31st ult., that the Civic Council of that city had protested against the contribution of 752,000 f,, recently im posed by the Austrians. By a decree of the 3d, of the Tuscan Minister of War, a battalion of veterans is formed. The Courrier of Leghorn says, " There are alarm ing reports here. It is said that on the 4th or 9th inst. the Red Republic will be proclaimed. The chiefs are named, and the cockades ready. Citizens do not suffer yourselves to be misled; stand fast; no Red Republic, but the Green Republic. The Italian Constituent and the War of Independence,' that is our du vice." The emigration from Lombardy to avoid the con scription is immense, Private letters have been received from Milan, dated the ad, which speak of active preparations for war. RADETZKY has assembled between Peschiera and Milan his reserves, and a large advanced guard, of from 12,000 to 15,000 men, extends to Piacenza, whilst a third division of the army, stationed near the Lake of Como, is destined to take Piedmont on the other flank. The number of troops is from 60,000 to 70,000, with 70 pieces of cannon. The Field-Mar shall announces that he will march on Turin at the first orders of the EMPEROR. A division from Pia cenza will attack Genoa, which is strongly fortified on the side of the sea, but very vulnerable on all points on the side of the land. The Field-Marshal is only waiting the entire pacification of Hungary to develope his plan of campaign, unless CHARLES AL BERT will treat directly with Austria. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. (RY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH FROM SOUTHAMPTON.) Tug CAPE, Nov. 11.—The Legislative Council met on the Ist. Sir Harry Smith, in his opening address, observed that Earl Grey was pleased with the flourishing state of the finances of the colony. He regretted his Lordship had ordered a cessation of emigration to the Cape. The Kafirs of the eastern frontier were to be compensated for loss of territory. The vagrant Fingoes were to he restrained from wan dering, and located. Engineers were expected to decide on the breakwaters at Table Bay and Algoa Bay. Roads and harbours are to be made and im proved. The treatment of prisoners was barbarous, and is to be altered. The Hottentots are to be re lieved from missionary bondage. A Militia Bill is to be introduced to relieve the colonists. Restrictions on holding public meetings are to be removed, and municipal laws amended. Sir Harry submitted a supplementary estimate of 22,000/. The colony, he said, was only chargeable with 10,0001. for putting down the insurgent Boers. The Boers had been heavily fined ; they had already paid 6,0001. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY. Tne Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning in the Eastern Terrace and Slopes. The Royal Family took their accustomed walking and pony exercise. Prince Albert went out shooting this morning. His Royal Highness was accompanied by the Mar quis of Douglas and Sir Robert Peel, and was at tended by the Earl of Morley, Lieutenant-Colonel Ole Hon. A. N. Hood, and Captain the Hon. A. Gordon. His Serene Highness Prince Lowenstein, and the Earl and Countess Fortescue, are expected to arrive at the Castle this evening, on a visit to her Majesty and the Prince. The royal dinner party at the Castle this evening will include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene Highness the Princess Amelia of Hohen lohe Schillingsfurst, her Serene Highness the Princess Elise of Hohenlohe Schillingsfurst, his Serene High ness Prince Lowenstein, the Marquis and Mar chioness of Douglas, Lady Fanny Howard, the Earl and Countess Fortescue, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord James Murray, and the Right Hon. Sir Robert and Lady Peel. The band of the 2d Life Guards will attend during dinner. The Queen's private band attended yesterday even ing in the Castle, and performed the following pieces : Overture—" Der Beherrscher der Geister" _ (first time) Finale, Second Act "Figaro" Marien Waizer (first time): A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office. The Ministers present were— Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Minto, Sir George Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon.

Earl Granville arrived in town on Tuesday nigh' from Aldenham Park, Bridgenorth. GOLD REGIONS OF CALIFORNIA !—An admirable map has just been published by the ever-enter prising geographer, Mr. Wyld—giving a very clear and legible representation of the Torn Tiddler's ground of North America, where the gravel is gold dust and the clay streaked with quicksilver. The localities in which the precious metal is being dis covered are msrked with yellow streaks agreeably significant. There are, for instance, the Feather River, the American River, the Stanislaus River, the Pass Creek, the River De la Merced, the River De los Mukelemns, &c., &c. When almost everybody is going stark mad about the golden bubble of the United States, this excellent map will prove right welcome. TIIE ELECTION OF ALDERMAN FOR DOWGATE WARD.—This morning the Lord Mayor held a ward mote at the Tallow Chandlers' Hall, Dowgate-bill. for the purpose of electing an Alderman in the place of John Johnson, Esq., deceased. J. Calvert, Esq., proposed, and J. C. Prior, Esq., seconded, the nomination of R. W. Carden, Citizen and Cutler, of Royal Exchange-build ings, Cornbill, as a fit and proper person to be Alderman of the ward. No opposition being offered, the Lord Mayor declared Mr. Carden duly elected. Mr. Carden then returned his thanks for the cordial and unanimous support given him through his recent canvass. A vote of thanks was then gives to the Lord Mayor, and the wardmote broke up. QUEEN ADELAIDE.—Some of the houses connected with " King William's Naval Asylum" at Penge, near Norwood, founded and endowed by Queen Adelaide, being now completed, her Majesty has oeen graciously pleased, through Lord Howe, to nominate to two of them the widow of a commander of 36 years, who entered the navy in 1773, and the widow of a master, who at his de mise held the office of master attendant at one of our royal dockyards. Each widow will also bo entitled (on a certificate signed by a beneficed clergyman that they are of sober life and conversation, and members of the Church of England) to an annuity of 301., payable half yearly at Messrs. Coutts's.—Herald. iVIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather duller, owing to the larger quantity offering. Sales 5,000 bales, including 3,500 bales of American at 3/d. to 5/d. per lb.—The Railway Share Market was rather dull. Complaints are made of the statement of a morning journal that the Mexican Mining Company's shares were selling at ss. each, when in fact they rule at 3i to 41. This company had paid off its borrowed capital, and divided since 1840 a sum equal to 10s. per share per annum, a dividend of 7s. 6d. per share being now advertised. We find that there is some curiosity expressed to learn the exact position of the Chancellor of the Exche quer in respect to his last loan. From appearances, it is contended even to this (Lite that the whole of the two millions of stock has been sold in a way not to be brought at any time into the weekly statement of the Bank-of England, and although it is impossible to give a confident opinion upon the subject, it may be fair to presume that the money would be paid away as soon, or almost as soon, as obteined, the deficiency in the in• come for the year, ending 10th October, being over 1,700,000/. The arrival of the ship Windsor from the Cape of Good Hope puts us in possession of dates to Nov. 16. The colony was quiet, and neither Kafirs nor Boers were disposed to cause further disturbance. How long this may continue it is not in our power to say, but appear ances are deemed highly favourable. The people of the Cape are not at all disposed to encourage the introduc tion of convict servants, although they stand much in need of hands, the labourers of the colony being described as only half civilized, consisting principally of Hottentots, and therefore peculiarly liable to contami nation. The inhabitants of the eastern province ap peared to desire a governor and council for themselves, but not a separation from the older colony. There is a further rise in the duty upon foreign Wheat, the amount now being 10s. per quarter. Some account of the present state of the iron trade, with a glance at its past condition, is given in a state ment furnished to us by Mr. William Short:- " Iron.-The year opened;with a considerable demand for English iron of all descriptions, and with every reason to expect a continuation thereof ; but the dis astrous effects of the French Revolution de stroyed these anticipations, and brought business to a pause. The price of bars, which was 71. per ton, free on board, in Wales, in January, remained nominally at that figure until May, when the price was called at 61. ss. to 61. 10s.; in June business was done at 5/. 15s. per ton, but with a comparatively small amount of business, the price gradually declined therefrom, touching its lowest point it the beginning of December, when some parcels were sold so low as 41. 10s. and 4/. 12s. 6d. per ton. Since then the demand for, this article has much in creased; a considerable business has been done at 51. and 5/. ss. per ton, and with the improved prospects of the general trade of the country, ironmasters are now firm at 5/. ss. per ton." The accounts received to-day from Wolverhampton respecting the orders for iron received by the trade, are very satisfactory, and promise good employment. Mr. Carden, the stock-broker, has been elected Alderman. The Stock Market is exceedimgly quiet, but firm. Consols realised 89* New Three-and-a. Quarter per Cents. are 891- to 90.
