MISS PARDOF. This day is published, in 2 vols. Svo., w ith n u merous Portraits, rrIIE COURT and REIGN of FRANCIS the FIRST, KING of FPANCE. but by the unanimous animadversions of the public press in every case that may come under their observa tion. Above all, we insist that it is an imperative duty THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. By Miss PARDOE. Author of "Louis the Fourteenth and the Court of France, The City of the Sultan," &c. Richard Bentley, N Burlington-street, (Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty.) We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur du Soir announces that the Council of State is engaged in devising a project for the settle ment in Algeria of the convicted of June, 1848, who are at preient imprisoned in Belle Isle. The official Zekoniteur publishes an announcement of the raising of the blockade of Venice by the Austrians. The improvement in the health of M. DE FALLOUX, noticed on Tuesday was not permanent. He had a relapse on Wednesday, and recourse was again had to bleeding. The Patrie of last night says, " The state of M DE FALLoux continues to be of a rather grave character; nevertheless we are assured that it is not of such a nature as to occasion serious uneasiness." The Committee of the National Assembly on the Budget met yesterday. It is said that they expressed an opinion that there was no necessity to have imme diate recourse to a loan. According to the Evenement, the Greek Govern. ment has applied to the Government of the French Republic, requesting that no more passports for Greece may be given to political refugees. The negotiations at Borne still continue. The Assemblie Nationale boasts that the POPE will make none but mere formal concessions, and of the nature of those concessions we may judge from the following letter addressed to the National, by its Roman Cor respondent : " The concessions said to have been accorded at Gaeta, so far as the amnesty is concerned, amount to this—that the Pope, on his return to Rome, early in No vember, will grant an amnesty, from the benefit of which shall be excluded all the members of the Constituent Assembly, the TriumverP, the Ministers of the Republic, the leaders of the popular clubs, and the chiefs of the National Guard ; so that the amnesty would, in reality, embrace only those who have no need of it. As to the secularization of the Government, it will only admit laymen to offices that the clergy do not consider of much importance. In the same partial manner the Napoleon Code will only be applied in the reform of certain tri bunals, and to matters which do not infringe on the power which finally had turned tre ceived h of esanction of i h the elergy .Tthe nPope, municipalw i b w into a consultative body, to be elected by municipalcipal councils with power of deliberation on financial ques tions only." A number of Poles in Paris, desiring to quit France and proceed to America, to establish Polish colonies in that country, addressed a letter to the Prefect of Police, to be permitted to meet in order to discuss the means of carrying their plan into exe cution. The first meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon, in the Rue des Poules. The Commissary of Police of the quarter, attended by several agents, assisted at the meeting, which terminated by the nomination of a commission of six members, who are to occupy. themselves immediately with the prepara tions for their departure. There were rumours rife in Paris yesterday of an impending Ministerial crisis. It has been finally resolved on that M. DE FALLOUX shall definitively retire from the Ministry ; and it is said that another of the Ministers, M. PASS; has also signified his intention of resigning in consequence of the opposition which his scheme for the imposition of an income-tax has encountered; his colleagues have strongly urged him to withdraw his unpopular proposition, after the example set by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in 1848, but M. PASSY is of a firmness almost approaching to obstinacy, and he refuses to hold office except on con dition that he shall be permitted to propose his in come-tax. It has been determined to re-enact ‘ the tax on potable liquorz. JACINTO MORENO, an aide-de-camp of General ORIBE, has arrived in Paris. It is stated that he is charged with an extraordinary mission relative to the affairs of La Plata. The Princess DE LIGNE has arrived in Paris. Signor DELLA Roca, ex-Minister of War in Pied mont, has also arrived in the same city. The Algiers journals of the 15th announce the total defeat and flight of a pretended Bou Maza, who was endeavouring to excite the Kabyles of the Ju jurra to insurrection.

THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI. odor the direction of Madame Celeste, THEE EVENING, Will be performed the popular Drama of MARIE DIICANGE Prlncipal characters by Messrs. Boyce, 0. Smith, Wright, Worrell and Madame Celeste. It is the duty of the State to protect me against foreign competition, says the Protectionist. It is the duty of the State, says the Socialist, carrying out the argument a step further, to furnish me with the instruments of labour (meaning thereby capital and tools), and thus to protect me against the tyranny of the capitalist. It is the duty of the State to render the tyranny of the capitalist impossible, and to give to every indi vidual a fair, that is an equal chance, in the race of life, by confiscating all capital, says the Communist ; and the Communist is the most consistent logician of the three. Communism is the ultima ratio of Protec tion. Three years ago we should have considered this reductio ad absurdum sufficient, but now-a-days there are to be found many Protectionists who, rather than give up their darling doctrine, would accept it with all its absurdities—who prefer marching under the banner of M. PROUDHON to accepting the common sense of Sir ROBERT PEEL. It behoves us, therefore, to demonstrate the fallacy of the argument which is common alike to Protectionists, Socialists, and Com munists. The State is bound to do so and so, say they all. What is the State ? Not a Prince Fos- TUNATUS, wandering about the world with an inex haustible purse—not a lord and master bound to maintain all mankind, and authorised to demand the proceeds of the labour of all mankind in return. The days of l'Etat c'est moi are gone; even NICHO LAS of Russia would not venture to announce himself as the Moi if he were-to be held responsible for all the obligations which Protectionists, Socialists, and Communists would force upon 1 'Etat. The state is not a person—n n t an abstraction possessed of certain rights different from the rights possessed by individuals, bound to perform certain duties different from the duties which devolve upon individuals, and having property distinct and separate from the property b e l ong i ng t o i n dividuals. The state is simplystate tate; buttheit aggregateby no m means sfollows the persons that theaggregate composing th e of the properties of the persons_ PRo composing ng o th h e im st s a e t l e t are the property of the state. M M. does not carry out his principles to this extent. Even M. FROUDHOR contends that he has a right of pro perty in his own hat, his own boots, his own coat, his own waistcoat, his own shirt, his own unmentionables, therefore we take it ex confesso that the cggregate of the property of the indi viduals composing the state is not the property of the state. Of what, then, does the property of the state consist ? Simply of the contri butions which are levied by the state from indivi duals, and those contributions can be justly levied only from all the individuals composing the state, according to their means, for purposes from which each individual derives a benefit. Thus all the indi viduals composing a state are equally interested in its defence against foreign aggression; therefore the expenses attending the maintenance of the army and navy are justly defrayed out of the %xes, that is to say, out of the contributions levied rom all the individuals composing the state. Each ndividual is equally interested, and therefore each bears his fair proportion. The same with regard to the administration of justice, the same with regard to the preservation of the public peace. These expenses are all most justly defrayed out of the common con tributions of all. But there are certain other ex penses which, although large portions of the indivi duals composing the state benefit from them, yet as all do not benefit, are not defrayed out of the taxes, thatis out of the property of the state—(for the state can possess no property but that which it levies from in lividuals) : such are the expenses of lighting. The citizens of Liverpool are not called upon to defray any portion of the expenses of lighting the city of London, but the citizens of London, who alone desire the be eefit, are alone called upon to defray the expense. the Protectionist, however, demands that taxes shall be levied upon all for his especial benefit. He is a corn-grower, we will suppose, and he asks that every Ildividual in the community shall be forced to give him, say two shillings per bushel more for his corn than it could be purchased for in the open market of the world, that is to say, he asks that the shoemaker, the tailor, the cotton-spinner, &c., shall be robbed of a certain portion of their wages, the pro ceeds of which robbery shall be handed over to him, the corn-grower. This he calls protection. rile Socialist demands an organisation of labour. M. Louis BLANC, the head of this sect, proposes to or pinize the cabinet-makers in the first place, and he proceeds to organize them after this fashion. An un :ertain number of cabinet makers associate them adves in a workshop, the state is to furnish them with capital for the purchase of materials, of shop. room, of tools ; they are to work together, the idler is to receive the same wages as the industrious nan, the idiot as the clever man, their wages are to be sufficient for the maintenance of all the men em ployed, and the remaining profit, if any, is to go not to repay the debt to the state, but to the formation of a fund for the maintenance of broken down cabinet makers. Thus all other trades are to be called on to contribute to the support of the cabinet- makers, for be it remembered that the state has no property but what it levies from the individuals composing the state—all the other individuals composing -the state are to be called on to take shares and pay up on those shares in this joint-stock cabinet-making concern, without any hope of a dividend ; and among those so called on to contribute, be it remembered, are all those cabinet makers who are not members of this joint -stook company, and who are thus called on to pay towards the support of a concern in opposition to themselves. Ile propounders of this scheme call it the organiza tion of labour—we call it the organization of robbery ; and yet, if we admit the doctrines of Protection ism, we cannot argue against the doctrines of socialism. If you protect the corn-grower against foreign competition, you are equally bound to protect the cabinet-maker and every other producer ; and if you protect the labourer against foreign competition, you are equally bound to protect labour itself against the competition ex cited in the home market by the capitalist, and you can do this effectually only by accepting the doctrines of Communism and destroying capital altogether. Communism is the logical deduction from Protection. Free trade, and the rights of property, or Communism, such is the choice we have to make; there is no middle term, for Protection fairly carried out, that is to say, equal protection to all against all is Com munism ; if not fairly carried, i. e., if more protection is given to one than to another, it is robbery. It is very true that Protectionists, Socialists, and Com munists, alike seek to hide the truth under the flimsy veil of a pious care for the interests of the poor, but this hypocritical pretence has not even the merit of originality. It is now more than eighteen hundred years since their great prototype expressed a desire that the offerings of the faithful should be " sold for thirty pence, and given to the poor ; but this he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and carried the bag " After which a new Farce, entitled A BIRD OF PASSAGE.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1849. at :ravity of the occasion ; and those who mistook its firmer leniency for weakness, will perhaps believe me n future, when I tell them that what I say as her lajesty's representative, I most assuredly mean to erform. In the present instance, there shall be no ainesty until justice has been done upon the men whose crimes have disgraced the community to which hey belong. I call upon all good citizens. to assist we in this task. I call upon them to r. fleet upon the eischief already done to the material interests of this stand, by the interruption of its trade and industry it this most critical season. To all who are willing o aid in putting an end to this miserable insurrection, I )romise protection, encouragement, and reward; and it 's most consolatory to me again to advert to the excel lent spirit shown by many large districts, and to the !xertions made by them in support of order and law. f'he criminals are now surrounded by her Majesty's troops, the coast is blockaded, and every boat in the worts of the island has been sent into the harlTiur o! trgostoli, or sunk. Their escape, therefore, if they should succeed in escaping for a few days, will be due co the smallness of their numbers, and the nature of the .;‘)untry in which they are concealed: but all may aid in bringing the matter to an end, by giving infor ea.tion to her Majesty's officers, and by withholding as si,tance from the rebels, whose demands for food and .eelter they must resist, if needful, by force. Those ' who furnished assistance of any kiwi to Vlacco, or his band, will do well to recoil• et that martial law is no longer a mere word. It is at full force in seals, and the adjacent districts of Coronus, Valtt s, Racli, Leo, and Catuleo. It is in force throughout Omala, Icossimla, Talamies, Samos, and Pirgi; and ceeir inhabitants will learn, if the slightest provoca tion be given, the terrible powers with which powers are now armed. It will be most painful to me to see those powers long, or largely, used, and I have abstained on that account, from proclaiming any 1 district that has not been actually visited by the rebels. But whatever be necessary to crush the insurrection must be. done. The Government feels that it has a sacred duty to perform towards those who have trusted it, and who are entitled to its aid, and in the execution of that duty I shall shrink from nothing that I find requisite for the complete re-establishment of the authority of the law.

BANKRUPTCY. -(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE PINKERTON. IMPORTANT TO BANKRUPTS.—This bankrupt had carried on business as a dealer in glass, &c., in High street, Borough, and to-day applied for his certificate under very peculiar circumstances. Mr. Turquand, the official assignee, said, that the fiat was issued in 1840 under the old Act, but the bank rupt did not obtain the necessary number of creditors to sign, but bad gone into business and obtained credit; he now only bad property to the amount of the new debts, but as the now Act was coming into operation in a few days, he sought his certificate at the hands of the Com missioner. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked the:bankrupt why he had not applied before? Bankrupt said it was neglect on his part, and he had not been able to engage a solicitor for want of means. His HONOUR said the bankrupt had acted very un fairly to his present creditors, for, being an uncertificated bankrupt, all the property he now possessed could be claimed by the creditors under the first bankruptcy. He (his Honour) could not certify that the bankrupt had conducted himself properly or conformed to the Act. The solicitor to the assignees said he was not in• structed to oppose. His HONOUR said ho should adjourn the case till Mr, Commissioner Pane (the Commissioner to tho fiat) re turned after the vacation. The bankrupt had been with out protection which was now granted. RI•MINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR T. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) MANSLAUGHTER. —James Newton, aged 36, described as a labourer: was indicted liar the manslaughter of John Jones, alias Richard Gunner. The prisoner pleaded '• Not guilty." Mr. BODKIN stated the case for the prosecution. The I prisoner, he said, was what was called a dog-whipper, having the charge of a number of men engaged in the construction of a railway, and had recently been em ployed in that capacity in the East and West India Docks, and Birmingham Junction Railway. At one point of the line it crises over the Great Northern Railway on an embankment, and the occurrence which formed the subject of• the present inquiry happened at that spot. A temporary timber bridge had been erected for the purpose of conveying one line over the other, which, from some cause or other, became unsafe for ballast waggons to cross over it, but, although the attention or the pri soner had just previously been directed to that circum stance, he ordered one of the men under him to drive a truck over it, and the consequence was the bridge gave way, and the truck and its contents falling on the de ceased killed him on the spot. Had the prisoner bee❑ absent from the spot, or ignorant cf the dangerous state of the bridge, no blame could have attached to the pri soner; but the tact was, as the truck advanced a man engsgel upon the Great Norther❑ line called out " Don't go over, it is not safe," and in spite of this warning the prisoner insisted upon the driver's proeet d ing, which rerdered him legally responsible for she con sequences that ;ollowed. Mr. CLARKSON, who defended the prisoner, insisted that the indictment could not be sustained, inasmuch as the death of the deceased did not result from any act of the prisoner. There were, however, one or two facts connected with this case which the Court ought to be in possession of before the point of law it involved was argued and decided upon. The bridge in question, the Court would remember, was erected in the first instance, by the contractor who employed the prisoner, in a good and substantial manner, but the Great Northern con tractor finding some of its supporters impeded his pro gress, had them removed, and thus rendered it unsafe. That was the state of facts the case would disclose; but before the prisoner could be tried on such an indictment as this, the Court must decide whether or not the order given by the prisoner could be viewed in the light of an act. ) Mr. Baron PLATT thought it would be much better for the prisoner that his case should go before the jury than that it should be decided on the technical objection raised by his counsel. Witnesses were accordingly called to prove the facts mentioned by the Learned Counsel for the prosecution. On cross-examination the w itnesses who were present when the accident happened admitted that there had been some squabbling and legal disputes between the Great Northern and East and West India Dock contractors about disturbing the bridge, which was perfectly safe, before the Great Northern men began to meddle with it. There was a noisy engine at w3rk near the bridge, and it was doubtful whether or no the prisoner, heard the voice of the man who warned the driver of the truck of the insecurity of the bridge. Previous to the acci dent waggons had been continually passing and repas sing over the bridge, and the deceased during the whole of this time was employed underneath in raising sup porters for the bridge. Mr. ljAabouttoaddress the jury for the defence, b eJury, but r he z( w s b ' W N b a s s a was tdb they e interrupted y by Thad made up their minds upon the case, and were satisfied the prisoner was not guilty. Fie wai accordingly acquitted. Mr. Baron PLATT intimated that he had felt it would be more for the benefit of the prisoner that his inno cence should be declared by a jury than that he should escape upon a technical point of law, and it was that keeling which induced the Court to let the case go on. 1V E W COURT.

TLe prosecutrix, a widow, re•.iding in Shadwell, stated that on the afternoon of the 15th inst., she was standing in a court near her home, when the prisoner, who keeps an oyster stall in the same street, came up and spit at her. Upon asking her the cause of such conduct, she said, " do for you;" and taking a knife out of her pocket stabbed her in the arm. The wound was an inch deep, but was not of a very seri, us nature. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an aggravated assault. It was understood that the prisoner was enceinte. The FOREMAN, after a pause, said, on second con. sideration the jury recommended her to mercy. The RECORDER sentenced her to one year's imprison. ment in the House of Correction, care being taken that her situation should be taken into consideration. DELIBERATE MURDER. evcry possible means for upwgrds of an hour to restore animation, but unfortunately all efforts to restp:eitate the deceased were fruitless. after the discovery of the murder, a large body police arrived from the station in Kennington lane, when the nasn Weston (who had previously been conveyed to Lambeth workhouse, and phced under re straint) was taken into custody at a late hour last night, and conveyed to the place last named, where the charge of wilful murder was preferred against him. This morning the summoniLg-.Afieer r. V. Roberts) proceeded to Mr. I. Carter, the coroner, with informa tion of the murder, and that gentleman has issued a warrant for the inquest, which will be held in the boaid room of the workhouse te-moi row (Saturday) forenoon. The mother of the deceased child is in a state of great mental excitement, and the sad affair has completely shaken her. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotten market at Liverpool yesterday was ex ceedingly dull, and pric es o f A mer i can were a shade lower. 'fhe sales were estimated at on]; 4.000 bales, I 000 of which were taken for export and on speculation, and included 3,500 American; 150 Pernarn and Maran ham, at sd. to 6d.; 200 Bahia, at 51 I. to 6d.; 200 Surat, at 4d. to 4ii.; and 60 Sea Island, at Is. Oil. to Is. 3d. per lb.—The Railway Share market was greatly de pressed, and prices of every descriptien were lower. The Colonial produce markets have been tolerably firm this week, and there has been a steady demand f, z. home consumption with a fair inquiry for export. The prices of Indigo, &c., have not varied much. Very favourable accounts reach us this morning from the Frankfort autumn fair, and the result, compared with the fairs held previously this year, has been highly en couraging for cotton and woollen fabrics especially, as they realised an edvance of Bto 10 per cent. Leather also sold well. The Belgian journals contain the particulars of a plan for building a workmen's village upon the common lard of Ixelles. A private capitalist has undertaken the task, but the Government gives certain essistneee, The Foreign Stock markets were rather dull still at the latest advices received to day. At Amsterdam on Wednesday the Dutch Two-end-a. Half per Cents. were quoted 54*. The Vienna Bourse on the 16th inst. was depressed in consequence of the expo of the Minister of Finance, in which the new loan was adeerted to, and being Sunday private bargains were made in the sub scription. rooms at a material decline, viz., to 96i for the Five per Cent. Metallics. The flenehurgh mail of Tuesday brings the rate of exchange on London at 13 10. It is really something delightful to hear of a plan for easing, much less paying off, the National Debt, and since Sir James Graham's book, advocating the right of the country to wipe it off entirely, these plans have never found much favour, intolerable as is the evil which they are intended to meet. A citizen of Edinburgh, nothing daunted, however, comes forward with his views, and states that " the na tional creditor, as a holder of national capital, is en titled to bear his share of the burden. It has already been stated that the debt is divided into several different kinds of stock—Five per Cent., Three, Three-and-a- Quarter, Three-and-a-Half, all bearing a different price in the pubic market. It would, therefore, be manifestly unjust to secure to the holders of stock, in each case, the same amount of capital. The Five per Cent. Stock is clearly more valuable than the Three per Cent. Stock. Besides, in order to prevent juggling in the Money market, at a time when the arrangement shall come to be made, it will be necessary, before stating the tax to which the debt itself should be subjected, to state the principle on which it should be levied, and the debt paid. Every one knows how on the Stcck Ex change prices can be raised or depressed. To prevent any improper action of this nature, it is right the holders of stock should be informed that the nation will never pay 1004 for 60/. or 701. which they received a few years ago, of which the interest has been regularly paid. Our proposal is to lay a tax of 7i per cent. on the capital debt of the nation, whether funded or unfunded, and to limit the capital on which the charge should be made to 801 for every 100/. of the Three per Cents., 851. on the Three-and, a -Q uarter an d Three-and a-Half per Cents., and 100/. on the Five per Cents.; or, in other words, to pay the whole debt at 7i- per cent. below the prices here fixed. It is necessary, whatever precise sum may be adopted as the basis, that distinct warning be previously given, otherwise the gentlemen on the Stock Exchange would run up the Three per Cent. Stock to 100/. and then cry out robbery. The prices above fixed are a fair valuation. In this proposal there is no breach of national faith—neither honour nor justice re quires more. The amount to be provided for-658,432,945/. A tax of 7i per cent. on this sum amounts to 49,332,470/., but instead of carrying this to the credit side of the account, it will simplify the matter by at once deducting it from the amount of the charge, as the easiest mode of collecting the tax, aid thus fixing the claim of the public creditor 49,332,470/., leaving 609,100,475/. to be provided for by the country at large." The ways and means to be made available our author considers would be Church property, as well as that un der the control of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, a tax of 5 per cent. on railways and other pro. perty, and 10 per cent. on land, yielding altogether 678,225 0001.

After repeated adjournments, by which that unfortunate young gentleman's incarceration has been prolonged to no less than four months, and very heavy expenses been incurred, the Learned Chief Commissioner of the Insolvent Court has declared that he is entitled to an unconditional discharge. Mr. THOMAS RANDALL and his compeers, the champions of the credit system at the Universities, still continued obstinate, and refused to accede to the arrangement proposed by the afflicted parent of their victim—an arrangement which the Commissioner declared to be perfectly " f air and reasonable." They adhered firmly to the rule adopted by the Oxford tradesmen : they would accept no compromise that involved the abandonment of any portion of their claims. • It would be totally con• trary to their principles to relinquish their liens on the future earnings of their debtors until the accounts, made up at " west-end prices and interest at five per cent. after two years," should be liquidated even to the last farthing. They would have the "pound of flesh" or nothing, and in the present instance their pertina cious and obstinate determination has met with a fitting reward. In vain the presiding Judge recom mended, nay almost entreated, that they would, for once, relax their stringent regulations. In vain, to use his own language, he laboured for what he had conceived to be the interests of all parties." Actuated by a laudable anxiety to carry the intentions of the father into execution, and thereby to free the unfor tunate young man from future liabilities, and at the same time to obtain something for the general body of creditors on account of their demands, he departed from his ordinary functions, and essumed the cha racter rather of an arbitrator anxious to effect an amicable settlement than of a judge adjudicating on the real merits of the case before him. The unexpected inflexibility of some of the creditors defeated his praiseworthy intentions, and compelled him, unwillingly, to resume the position from whence —we say it with all respect—he should never have departed. His futile effort only prolonged the im prisonment of an innocent young man for some seven weeks additional, during which period he was not merely enduring the loss of liberty, but was exposer to the dernoralizltion inseparable from a continued association with the class of persons to be met with in a debtors' I rison. If ever there was a case where the insolvent w& entitled, according to the true spirit of the code, tc an immediate and unconditional discharge it was the one now under notice. There was nothing of fraud deception, or falsehood, that could even be hinted at. The Chief Commissioner, in delivering his first judg rnent, declared that " he was happy to exonerate tht insolvent from any charge of contracting his debt , by false representations, or by any means tine trenched on morality and gentlemanly con• duct beyond his having involved himself it unnecessary expenses." That declaration, impor tant as it might be in ordinary cases, was su perfluous in this instance, for the slightest imputatim of the kind had not been put forward—his creditors in fact, had sought him, and not he his creditors—ne inquiries were made. The greatest competition ex isted to obtain the honour of his custom, and to sup , ply him, not merely with necessaries, but with every luxury and superfluity that fancy or extravagance could dictate. Had he been desirous of so doing, or of w hat is termed " victimizing" tradesmen, there can be no doubt but that he could have obtained credit for as many thousands as he was indebted hundreds; but we find it admitted, even by Mr. RANDALL him self, " that the supply of goods were such as at, undergraduate, in the insolvent's circumstances, might fairly require, and that, after the first year, he became more sparing of his orders, and only had what was necessary." Here, then, the opposing creditor himself acquits the insolvent of any undue extravagance. If it could be at all ascribed to him, it was only during his first year, when IR was but nineteen years of age, and, by the policy of the law, exempted from liability; for had he chosen to have availed himself of the plea of minority, he could have set aside by far the greater portion of hi , debts and paid twenty shillings in the pound on al , demands for which judgments could have been ob tained with the 3001. which his father was willing to advance. It may be said that such a course would have been extremely disgraceful and reprehensible, but it would have freed him from all annoyance, and he should not be punished because his honourable and gentlemanly feelings induced Him to confirm these liabilities after attaining his majority, and not to hare repudiated them, as he might have done, with full impunity. The only ground assigned . by the Chief Commis sioner that could possibly warrant a remand was that "he had incurred debts extravagantly and without reasonable expectations of payment." We must totally dissent from this view of the case. Mr. THROSBY, sen., was at least reputed to be possessed of a considerable fortune, which would have enabled him to bestow a much larger sum upon a favourite child than the amouet for which his son was respon sible. Where no less than 6001. was actually sent over to satisfy the demands in the first instance, the aggregate of the debts only amounting to 7501., and where 3001. was freely offered to the last moment, notwithstanding the unfavourable decision, by which Mr. TUROSBY, sen., was reported to have had more then 15,000/. s t er li ng, i t cou l d not be said that the debts were contracted without " a reasonable expecta tion of payment," as seven shillings in the pound were still forthcoming. And even if it had been so, which we totally d eny, there would still be the fact of " nonage," which was not in any degree alluded to in the course of the judgment. We have now dune with the case. We nothing whatever of any of the parties concerned,know either debtor or creditors. 'We took the etlen entirely on public ground:, believing that the (Ne e l) . tionable system wa4productive of the moat injurious re • cults to more persons even than to the victims, who in too many instances have their prospects in life blighted, and who are compelled to submit to the greatest priva ,„--strthey have attained maturity, through the , thaegbtlessindiscretions of their early years, and the fatalefacilitiee afforded for incurring unnecessary debta. We '6Clieve that the credit system i 3 Cora trary, to public policy, and that it should be discouraged in every legitimate mode--not only by, the leetaions of Insolvent Commissioners, - The Rev. J. Aspinall, M.A., of Althorpe rectory, Lincolnshire, who is to be the successor or Dr. Hind, Dean of Carlisle, is, we believe, a moderate high churchman, and the author of several volumes of ser mons which are greatly esteemed both for their elo quence and orthodoxy. He has also written and spoke much on the subject of popular education; and we be !love that the appointment will not be unsatisfactory to churchmen.— Chronicle.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. CENTRAL GERMANY. We find the following given in the Cologne Gazette as the basis of the arrangement proposed to be entered into by Austria and Prussia for the ad interim settle ment of the question of the Central German Govern ment " 1. There shall be established between the German Governments, in accordance with the administrators of the empire, a new ad interim Central Government, which shall be exercised by Austria and Prussia to the Ist May, 1850. 2. The object of this is to maintain the German Confederation as the indissoluble union of all the German States. 3. During the interim the affair of the Constitution of Germany is left to the free arrangement of the States. 4. If at the expiration of the interim nothing be done, an understanding shall be come to with respect to the continuation of the new Central Govern. ment. 5. A Commission of the Empire, composed of four members, two of whom shall be nominated by Austria, two by Prussia, shall direct, under the presi diney of Austria (which presidency, however, shall be only an affair of etiquette), the affairs which were attri buted to the Special Council of the old Diet; the other governments of the Confederation shall send plenipoten tiaries to the Commission. 6. The Commission of the Empire shall only be responsible to those by whom it is nominated. 7. As soon as the Governments shall have given their assent to the preceding propositions, the Administration of the Empire shall deposit its dignity and powers in the hands of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia." The Kings of \VURTEMBERG and 13AvARLI have consented to this. PHU SSIA. The Berliner Nachrichten states :—" It has been confirmed that a new Russian note has been received, in which it is proposed that the affairs of Germany should be - regulated by a Royal Congress, composed of those Sovereigns who signed the Alliance of 1815. 'We have, however, learnt that the Ministry is re solved to maintain the policy hitherto preserved, and not to place the decision of a point of domestic German character in the hands of foreign Powers." A USTRIA. - - VIENNA, SEPT. 16.--Count RADETZKY paid a visit to the Minister of the Interior, D. BACH, to-day, as also to Baron HESZ and General VON BENEDICIC. Ile will attend the theatre this evening, and by his desire " The German Warrior," Dir Deutsche Kneger, will be acted. According to some, the veteran Marshal h as fi xe d upon Presburg as his future home, that being the residence of his daughter, the Countess VON WENRHEIM ; according to others, he will resume his command in Italy. The Wiener Zeitung announces the sentence of the Supreme Military Court upon Generals MAZA and SALtxr for their share in the Hungarian insurrection. Both the generals are deprived of their military rank and pensions, and are further sentenced to five years' imprisonment. The conferences for the re -organization of Hungary were to commence on the 17th, under the presidency of the EMPEROR. The number of Hungarians who have taken refuge in Moldavia is between 3,000 and 4,000 men. The Turks have finished the tents, and they are encamped near Width. The Emperor of AUSTRIA (who appears to resemble in situation and character CHARLES IX. of France), acting under the inspiration of his bigotted and vin dictive mother, has determined to show no mercy to age or sex in Hungary. He has actually set a price upon the head of KOSSUTH'S wife I I Surely the representative of such a savage ought not to be re ceived at any civilized Court. The besieging force 3 are assembling round Co morn, under the command of NUGENT and of the Russian General GRABBE. The garrison have 500 cannon, 8 batteries, 8 field-pieces, 1,400 horses, and provisions for twelve months.

The insurgents have kept the fortress of Bihac so closely encircled from the 21st to the 25th of August, that it was impossible to reach it without risk of life. On the 2d of September a pary of the insurgents retired into the mountains to shut up the psssage against the VIZIER, who has arrived at Bukswaz with 30,000 men and 24 cannon. Ditches have been dug and trenches cut in the defiles. RUSSIA. ST.

TURKEY. REFUSAL OF THE SULTAN TO DELIVER UP THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES TO AUSTRIA. Honour to ABDUL AlEsuin ; honour to the Turkish Ministers! They have nobly done their duty, and have refused t o b ecome the panders to the vindictive blood - thirstiness of FRANCIS JOSEPH and of NICHOLAS. The Russian and Austrian Am bassadors at the Porte demanded 'the extradition of the Hungarian chiefs, KOSSUTH, DEMBINSKI, MESSAROS, and th e i r compan i ons. A arrived in C ons t ant i nople in the l missi on , t h at special mission being tPIOSEt bullyon Russian the General sseuLi T4is into a compliance with the de mands of Austria. A council was held, and the ' Turkish Government resolved not to surrender the Hungarian refugees to either the Russian or the Austrian Government, and on this decision being communicated to the SULTAN, he declared in the most impressive and determined manner that the refugees should not be given up, let the consequences be what they might. We trust that Lord PALMERS• TON will do tis duty as nobly as the SULTAN has done his, and that Russia and Austria will be given dis tinctly to understand that war with Turkey for such a cause • mears war with England. We are rejoiced to find that KOSSUTH and his companions are fur nished with passports from the English Ambassador, and we trust that every assistance and support will be afforded by England to the SULTAN which he may require, to defend the independence of his country against the attacks of Russia and of her vassal, Austria. THE INSURRECTION IN THE lONIAN ISLANDS. We have received the Extraordinary Gazette of Corfu of the 7th, and extract the following : "Cephalo n i o t s "Argostoli, Sept. 5. ,—:n my Message to the Senate recom mending an rimiest; for the events of September, 1848, I expressed the feelings with which my first visit to your island had inspired me—my sense of the industry and en- terprise displayed there, and my hopes that the new r ra, upon which we were entering, would be marked, on both sides, by confidence and peace. I visit you a second time under very different circumstances. In the midst of profound tranquillity, and at a moment when the whole population ought to have been employed in securing that harvest, upon which its prosperity, and even its existence, during the coming winter, depends, an outbreak has occurred in the districts of Leo, and Scala, marked by crimes of so atrocious a nature, that, if I could suppose them to indicate the spirit of the peasantry in general, I must deem unworthy of the name of Christians, or of men. Between the 28th and the 31st of August, the houses of seven resident proprietors were destroyed—murders of the most dia bolical character were committed. The Cavaliere Metaxa, a man universally respected, was burnt, with four servants, in his own house, while the whole popula tion of Scala looked on. Citizens well known to all of you were seized and imprisoned, in order to enforce compliance *ith the most iniquitous demands; and, although the actual outrages were confined to the dis tricts of Leo, Scala, and Valtes, attempts were deli berately made to extend the system of terrorism through out the island, there being hardly a family residing upon its estates that was not warned that its turn was coming, while the wildest reports were circulated of intended attacks upon Argostoli itself. The first information of these excesses reached Corfu on Thursday, the 30th of August, at 8 A.M. At 11 A.M. I wrote to his Highness the President, and proclaimed martial law in the dis turbed districts. At 3 r sr. the lonia sail, d with the troops on beard who were to carry this proclamation into effect. They reached Argostoli early on Friday, the 31st, proceeded to Scala at 11A.M., landed at 3 P.M, and, though resisted by the ruffians— who, after disturbing and desolating their own country, had the audacity to fire upon her Majesty's troops—they were in possession of the vil lage by seven post meridian, and will now proceed to iuflict upon it the chastisement, which it has so justly des, rued. Anxious to see the measure s resolved upon by the Government promptly and effectually carried out, I left Corfu on the night of the Ist of September, and 1 ended in Argostoli on the 2d, at nine Liu. I found you in a state of unprecedental excitement and alarm. The rebels were said to be advancing in large numbers upon the districts of Icossimia, Livato, and Ornate, while a combined movement of the disaffected upon the town was talked of, in which the mountain villages were to take part. The ships in the harbour were crowded with the families of your citizens. All busi ness was suspended, and the Custom House closed. My first care was to ascertain to what extent these appre hensions were well founded, an d I give you here the re in so gr ave a case , I Ire perso na ll y , as will o wt n oh y iinc o h' f the military detach meats, the primates. and the police. I believe that in Scala the number of robbers and murderers—for I will not honour them with the name of insurgents —in arms amounted, at one time, to between two and three hun dred. They were headed from the first by Theodore Vacco, and the Papa Gregorio Nodaro, justly surnamed ' the Assassin, who has been unceasing in his efforts to poison the minds of the peasantry, and to involve them in a struggle which would have made Cephalonia a de sert, had it been possible for it to be attended with suc cess. '1 here is ample evidence to prove that secret socie ties were connected with this movement—that it has been many months in preparation, and is countenanced by persons still resident amongst you, who fancied that they could guide the passions which they stimulated and let loose. It was probably in the hope of giving a political colouring to crime that the rebels, on their marches during the short period of their impunity, were received by a flag and a cross —never so horribly desecrated before. After the occupation of Scala by Major King, Vlacco and the Priest Nodaro fell back upon Icossimie and Livato, where they endeavoured to induce those vil lages to join them by entreaties and threats. The first were resisted ; the second they had, happily, not the power to enforce, the number of their folios, ors having been reduced from 300 to 42, with whom Vlacni arrived at Pirgi on Sunday morning, Sept. 2. n Sunday eve ing, it was reported in Argostoli that thensurgents wer n e crossing ,the mountains with large masses of men, and had reached San Liberale, on their way to San Gerasimo. A strong detachment marched to occupy the convent of San Gerasimo that night, and was pre ceded by Captain Middleton, one of my aides-de-camp, and Mr. Fyers, the head of the police, who ascertained at Valsamata that Vlacco, Nodaro, and forty-five men, bad arrived in their neighbourhood on Sunday after noon, and invited them to take part in en attack upon Argostoli, but that the Contadini of Valsamata and Frangata had refuse to have anything to do with such projects, and had desired Vlacca to leave their district, which he had promised to do the next day. In order to satisfy hi mse lf that this information was correct, Captain Middl e t on proceeded on foot to the spot where the party w as sa id to be encamped, and having ascer tained that th ey were actually, at midnight, in the place, and in a b out the number stated, returned to meet the tro o p s, who arrived at three A.)!, on Mon day—just half an hour too late to capture the whole band. Having followed the troops to San Gerasimo at four AM ' and d ou b ts b e i ng en t er tained as to the route taken by Vlacco in his flight from Valsamata, I directed the village of Trojanata to he searched by Captain Nugent, on his return to Argostoli. I have to regret there the death of the Primate, who was killed while executing my orders, by a ball fired, from a window, and aimed at those who were standing with me near the entrance of the church. He died al most at my f eet. The two other men were killed, drew th e i r fate upon themselves, by resisting the en trance of h er —ai'ety's troops into their houses, and firing up on Captain Lawley, while forcing open a door. It b e i ng now nearly certain that this infamous M gang of marauders is in the Black Mountain with its two chiefs, and it being most essential for the interests of Cephalonia that an end should be put, as speedily as possible, to a move men t which is not more remark. able for the smallness of its means than for the great ness of its guilt, I have offered, on the part of the Go vernment, a rew ar d of 1,000 dollars for Theodore Vlacco or Gregario Nodaro, if brought in dead or alive; and the gallant officer who commands her Majesty's forces has directed a combined movement to he made, for the purpose of hunting them down. Your excellent archbishop Las not hesitated to excom nrahicate a p r i est whose garments are steeped in the blood of the Motaxa famil fled, if tak. ti alive, lie Shall certainly expiate his crime upon the spot where the bodies of four of his victims are now buried, as tw o o f his associates will do th i s day, t h e clearest ev id ence of their guilt having has alreadyrazed to the been ground, in the been obtained. His haus° 1 J presezice of the whole of the inhabitants - of Scala, and one of the men about to be hung is the Abate Eustachio Zapandi, N o d aro ' s follower and pupil, who assisted him 1 in carr)ing the cross, and in administering unlawful oaths. The peaceable and well-disposed inhabitants of Cephalonia, whose lives and properties have escaped a danger which no efforts of their own could have averted, will see, by this pl a i n rec i tal o f f acts, t h at t h e Govern ' ment has gicale its duty with nn energy b e fitti n g the Last night, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, the inhabitants of Princes-road, Lambeth, were thrown ' into a state of the greatest excitement in consequence of a report being forwarded to Lambeth Workhouse to the effect that a man named Henry Weston, a waiter at the United Service Club, Piccadilly, who resided in Wood. street, Lambeth-walk, had deliberately murdered his daughter, a fine child about eighteen months old. It appears that the man Weston wsei a waiter at the United Service Club, but for some reason he had not been engaged at that place for some time past. He re turned home in the afternoon and partook of tea, when he seemed in his usual state of health and spirits, and after he had sat for a short period, Mrs. Weston stated that she should leave the child in bed and go into Lambeth walk for a few articles that she required for house hold use. She had pieced the infant on the bed, and having put on her shawl and bonnet she left the house for about a quarter of an hour, and when she returned her li-:band was st-.7l , iing at thu doer. They both en tered the Iront parlour, when Aim Weston asked him where the child was, when ho coolly replied, ‘• I have murdered her, and you will find her in the :water-but." He afterwards added, " You may give me i n c h arge i f you like." An elarin was raised by Airs. Weston, when several of the neighbours came to her a id, an d a li g h t having been procured they repaired to the garden at the rear of the house, and upon looking in the water-but the body of the poor child was found at the bot tom in its night clothes. The child was imme diately rescued and carried with all speed to Lambeth workhouse, and in the meantime messengers were dis patched to procure the aid of Mr. John Jeffree, the sur geon, of Paradise -street, Lambeth. walk.

CORN-EXCHANGE—FRID AY • Up to our market coastwise the arrivals o f En g lish Wheat durirg the present week have amounted to 3,420 quarters. By land carriske the receipts h ave been tole rably' good. The show of samples here to -day was d't ate. Selected r•!4'S were mostly held at fully Monday' quotations. In the middling and out of con dition parcels vet), few transactions took place at late rates. The imports of foreign Wheat have exceede 13,000 quarters. Fine qualities were tolerably steady, but other kinds were neglected. In prices we have no change to notice. We bad a moderate inquiry for grind ing Barley; malting and distilling sorts ruled dull. The supply of EnOish was small, that of foreign good. Although the supply of Malt was . small, that article was a slow sale, at barely last week's quotations. The arri vals of foreign Oats being somewhat large, '28,030 quar ters, the show of Oat samples was on the increase. Good sound corn ruled steady, at very full prices. La damp qualitivs very little.
