NOVEMBER 28, 184^. The Gazette de France states that a telegraphic dispatch from Valanciennes had been received in Paris on Monday, anncuncing the abdication of the King of Paussia. in favour of his nephew, the Prince Royal. It is scarcely necessary to state that this rumour stands in need of confirmation, more especially when we consider that the journal in which it appears has always been particularly favourable to Austrian views and Austrian policy ; indeed w ere it not for the vacillating character of the Prussian Monarch, we should at once treat the rumour as without founda tion, but we have seen so many changes of late came over the spirit of FREDERICK WILLIAM, that we cannot absolutely refuse to credit the rumour. There is no thing stated as to the causes which have induced FREDE RICK WILLIAM to adopt this step ; indeed, it is hard to imagine what could have induced FREDERICK WIL LIAM to abdicate at this moment save mere caprice. His Ministers have a majority in the Chambers, his octroyed Constitution has been accepted, his troops have been victorious in Baden and the Bavarian Palatinate, and the Sovereigns of Saxony, of Bavaria, and of Baden owe the restoration of their authority so self-evidently to Prussian assistance, that they must render their:pilicy entirely subservient_to the policy of Pfussia; for were the military support of Prussia to be withdrawn from them, in one week they would be driren from their thrones by the people. There remains, then, the Austrian question, and so far from shrinking from, it would be for the interest of Prussia rather to court a collision with Austria, of which the result must necessarily be the speedy destruction of the Austrian empire and the permanent ascendancy of the House of Hohenzollern over that of Hapsburgh. That such must be the inevitable result must be manifest to any one who for a moment contem plates the relative situations of the two Houses which now dispute the empire of Germany. Both have, during the last year, come into military collision with their subjects, both have been actively engaged in reactionary measures, both have promised consti tutions. But while Prussia put down the revolution by her own unaided forces, and thus acquired the prestige of strength and power, Austria, after suffer ing a series of disgraceful and disastrous defeats, was obliged to proclaim her weakness to the world by calling in Russia to her aid ; the Hohenzollern having gained the victory used it as mercifully as perhaps, on the whole, any one had a right to ex pect. Berlin was tarnished by no -such disgraceful scenes as those enacted at Vienna, at Pesth, and at Arad—the ,name of ETAILNAti soils not the military annals of Prussia; and thus while the Hapsburgh is regarded throughout his own dominions, and through out all Germany also, with feelings of personal hatred —whilst he dares not withdraw a single regiment from one of his garrisons, lest an insurrection should break out at te point thus left unguarded, the Hohenzollern is not regarded with feelings of personal dislike by his subjects, and he has on more than one occasion been enabled to lend military assis tance to his neighbours ; he Las, moreover, kept his promise with regard to constitutional institutions— he has called together the Chambers, and the Parlia ment has for some time past been actually assembled; while tho Austrian Constitution, although published in March last, is still a dead letter, and is likely so to remain. The credit of Prussia is good, while Austria is a bankrupt, and would be unable without pecuniary assistance to keep an army in the field. For these reasons we cannot believe that the state of relations between Austria and Prussia is of a natur e calculated to occasion the least alarm to FRBDERICK. WILLIAM, and were it not for his notorious character fur vacillation, we should at once treat the rumour of his abdication as a clumsy fabrication. A spirit of inquiry into the Sources of that sad under-current of sorrow and corruption which flows beneath the surface of our national wealth and mag nificence, is now happily making itself generally manifest. The subject is one of such vital import ance to the whole community, that it cannot be toe often or too generally discussed. We owe it, doubt less, to the recent pestilence that the condition of the poor has become the popular theme of the day. We hear of it from the pulpit, it fills the columns of the journals, it forms the topic of general discourse. It is true there is a vast difference betwixt talking and doing there is a wide step between profession and practice ; yet in this instance one might reasonably suppose that evils so flagrant require only to be known in order to be remedied. Experience, however, far from corroborating the supposition, sadly attests to the contrary. Many social plague-spots have long been manifest to the world—their evil nature hag been fully recognized, and yet they hare been suffered to e x i s t i n all their o di o us enormity, continually increasing i n s t rength and infecting the whole body politic. Shall it be so from henceforth ? The correspondent of a morning Contemporary has recently published /many revela tions of London life—of the life of that half of the world of whose manner ofj living the other half knows so little, and, we were about to add, cares so little, but perhaps it would 1)3. more correct to say, Viinks so little, for, as the poet of the poor—Tom Iloou—so truly says,— " Evil i 3 wrought By want of thought, As well as want of heart." Melancholy, indeed, are the results of these and all similar investigations. All hope of effecting any remedy is for the moment paralysed by the rppalliQg enormity, of those evils which we have neglected to check in their first beginnings. We have suffered the tiny rills to flow on and mingle tcgether, and now the swollen waters threaten to engulph us. The greater the evil, however, the more imperative and the more urgent is the necessity for action. We have had enough of fine words, let us now have decd to match them. In place of the philanthropy which sounds so well in speeches and looks so well on paper, let us now have a little genuine self-denial and . exertion. Some years have passed . since the appearance of the famous " Song of the Shirt," which, for the time, excited such a vivid interest in the sufferings of thatynbappy class—the London needlewomen. That song unquestionably did good ; it found an entrance into drawing-rooms, where the scenes it told of were unknown ; it drew tears from eyes unused to the melting mood, and yct— and yet, after so:rnany 'lamentations and professions, how much better is the condition of that class now than then ? A few days back the correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, in describing the meagre earn ing and laborious toil of these poor creatures, often working eighteen and twenty hours a day, Sundays and all, and earning (the best of them) on an average twopence-halfpenny—has depicted a scene so sorrow ful in itself, and rendered so doubly sorrowful by the circumstances connected with it, that its bare contem plation is enough to sadden the heart of the most joy ous, and to damp the ardour of the most sanguine. Is this a picture of London ? we involuntarily ex claim—is this a fragment of the history of the nineteenth century ?" No longer let us boast of ca.r public charity, and our national religion, while we fail in the commonest principles of common jus tice. The poor—the hardworking and industrious poor—are driven to sin in order to obtain the most wretched means of subsistence. Let us close cur Bibles and build no more churches and hospital. while such pictures as the following disgrace the ,and " I now come to the second test that was adopted in order to verify my conclusions. TH3 was the conven ing of such a number of needlewomen and slop-workers woulJ enable me to arrive at a correct average IN to the earnings of the class. I was particularly anxious to do this, not only with regard to the more reqcctsb'e portion of the operatives, but also with referenc3 these who, I had be,n given to understand, resorted to prostitution in order to (ko out their sub sistence. I consulted a friend who is well acquainted with the habits and feelings of the slop-workers ss to tip; po,sibility of gathering together a number of women who would be willing to state that they bad been forced to take to the streets on account of the low "nines for their work. He told me ho was afraid, from the shame of their mode of life becoming known, it would be al most impossible to collect together a number of females who could be ready to say as much publicly. However, it was decided that at least the experiment should be made, and that everything should be done to assure the parties of the strict privacy of the assembly. It wes arranged that the gentleman and myself should be the only male persons visible on the cecasion, and that the place of meeting should be as dimly lighted as possible, so that they could scarcely see or be seen by one another or by us. Cards of admission were issued and distributed as privately as possible, and to my friend's astonishment, as many as twenty-five came, 'on the evening named, to the appointed place—intent upon Tn.:king known the sorrows and sufferings that had driven them to fly to the streets, in order to get the bread which the wretched prices paid for their labour would not permit them to obtain. Never in all history was such a sight seen or such tales heard. There, in the dial haze of the large bare room in which they met, sat wemen and girls, some with babies suckling at their breasts—others in rags—and even these burrowed, in order that they might come and tell their misery to the world. I have witnessed many a scene of sorrow lately; I have heard stories that have unmanned me; but :lever till last Wednesday had I heard or seen anything so solemn, so terrible as this. If ever eloquence was lis tened to, it was in the outpourings of those poor loan mothers' hearts for their base-born little ones, as elch told her woes and struggles, and published her shame amid the convulsive sobs of the others—nay, of all present." Any comment on such sz statement is unnecessary. We have all, doubtless, hearts to sympathise with the sorrow of these poor sufferers. Let us prove that we have also the wit/ to help them. The tear of sym pathy may attest a tender nature and the donation of charity may effect a momentary benefit, but better than either--better than all other remedies—is tha t spirit of justice which gives the labourer his due, and rewards a fair day's work with a fair day's wages. In bringing about this great desideratum we may a in our ioveral ways, co-operate_ The dread artillery pointed against the ancient castle of Dublin by the Irish Orangemen still hangs fire, " the great gun of Athlone though rammed and crammed," one would think pretty well by this time, has as yet but given a sort of flash in the Fan in the shape of an address of condolence, and sympathy with the dismissed brethren of Dolly's Brae notoriety. The " purple marksmen," under the command even of an Enniskillen, hare not been able to bring their fire precisely to bear upon the Irish citadel. Lord CLARENDON stills bolds the reins of government, and we suspect, despite the hilly threats and furious vaunting of the Leitrim House Caballists, is likely to hold them " a little longer." In common with our Contemporaries who take an interest in Irish matters, we have been sadly disap pointed at the torturing procrastination with which the collective wisdom of Orange-land has delayed giving to the world the results of its deliberations. The high crimes and misdemeanours charged against the Irish Viceroy do not appear to run so smoothly in the proofs as the Orange organs would lead the public to suppose they would. The wiseacres of Lei trim House find, it would seem, that it is very easy to make a charge, but sometimes very difficult to prove it. They have rushed into a dilemma, which may perhaps ultimately eventuate in good ; for if they fail in sustaining every count in the indictment preferred against Lord CLAREN.. DON, what man of truth or honour can remain amongst them ? What man having the smallest re gard for character, public or private, can give them countenance ? And we believe it has oozed out, not withstanding the strict privacy with which their pro ceedings have been conducted —notwithstanding that the Lodge was duly " tiled," that many of the charges so rashly and unscrupulously made by the Orangemen and their organs have been unsustained by a shadow of proof. 'l he Orange organs inform us that the cause of this great delay, the reason for taxing the public patience by so long withholding the promised " report," is the necessity of examining a great number of witnesses, and digesting the voluminous evidence, so as to make assurance doubly sure, and leave his Excellency no mode or chance of escape. Every worthy member of the brotherhood who formed part of any deputation to the Viceroy in 1848 has been separately examined before the Select Com mittee. They have been obliged to detail every cir cumstance that occurred, every word that was uttered on the occasion. Mayhap we shall be enlightened with the interesting intelligence that one of the worthy brothers exchanged the " grip and word" with the state porter ; we don't know whether the successor of "BARTHOLOMEW " has been duly initiated in the sublime mysteries of Orange-craft. A stray brother may still be found perhaps in the precincts of the castle. In the good old times some of those merry officials were wont to regale themselves over a stoup of old port, or a brim mer of the " native" in wishing a warm corner to the POPE, or toasting the glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good King WILLIAM. But though a member of the deputation from Ulster should happen to meet one of those obsolete crafts men in the neighbourhood of the castle, it will scarcely be sufficient to prove that the QUEEN'S representative entered into secret negotiations for arming the Irish Orangemen." One of the charges would go far to prove that Lord CLARENDoN had really established a new order of Orangemen in Dublin. He is charged with ad ministering an oath, or what is the same thing, doing it by his agents—qui facit per alium, facit per se, and communicating a secret sign and pass word by which these worthies were to be distinguished by the military from their less fortunate and uninitiated fellow-citizens. The scum of Whitefriars-hall, and the" liberty," were regularly organized and sworn in as a sort of Vice-regal body-guard. We . should not wonder if his Excellency had intended that these new household Lops should replace those doughty heroes the ancie e n x t eel i l ' e ß n a t tt e l a e p ra ta e in " TEESHAM GREGG would make an of the new corps ; he would be a most worthy suc cessor of "NOSFY NORTON." Uow glorious it would l , e to see this gallant band of loyal brothers rushinr, thr o ugh Ship-street, at the three distinct stroke s o f t he bells of St. Anne, to rescue Brother CLARENDON from the hands of Popish rebels) If we happened, how ever, on such an occasion to be within ear-shot of tLe Chamberlain, we would strongly recommend a sharp watch over the contents of the cellar and larder, for we do not believe the Very Rev. Dr. SrßATT—the Father IIIATHEw of Dublin—has many of the White friars hall folk on hi 3 teetotal list. It is difficult to be serious when compelled to notice such absurd and ridiculous charges—charges again and again reiterated and bruited through the land not only by the organs of the Dublin Orangemen, but by political partizans of a different hue. Lord CLAREN DON will suffer little from such ridiculous absurdities as these. The only way in which his fair fame might be likely to be damaged would be, if he shut his eyes to the atrocities of Dolly's ,Brae, if he allowed inno cent blood to be shed, if he allowed the ma jesty of the law to be outraged with impunity. If the RODENS and the BRERS were allowed with impunity to countenance scenes of crime and conflict resulting in burning and massacre, and then shield themselves and the wicked members of their unholy fraternity from the penal consequences of their mis deeds by virtue of their high oftices—if such men were allowed to go unpunished, and were enabled to perpetrate crime under her MAJESTY'S commission, then,- indeed, would the QUEEN'S representative be guilty of a grave violation of the high trust confided to him ; then, indeed, could Lord CLARENDON be fairly charged with treason against the laws which he was sworn to administer in a just and impartial spirit, and which we trust and believe he will continue to diepense with a firm and steady hand, alike un affected by the threats of the Leitrim House con spirators, or their senseless and unscrupulous abettors. The men now holding secret conclave in Dublin, the heads and leaders of the Orange confede racy, have at this moment a glorious opportunity of serving their country. If they wish to raise her from her prostrate condition, if they would save her from continuing a blot upon the page of history, a by.word among the nations of, the earth ; if they would banish dissension from their soil—the admitted curse of Ireland—if they would sow the seeds of peace and order i❑ the land, let them not lose the present opportunity of dissolv ing the unmeaning and puerile society of Orangeism. Drinking clubs, with the, absurdities of secret signs and pass-words, may be tolerated and laughed at in schoolboys or college " jibs," but they are quite un worthy of grown-up men of comtnan sense. Let them, ►then, put an end to these nests of folly and wickedness; they will thus have achieved a triumph over Lord CLARENDON, by depriving his Lordship of the plea sure of putting the law in motion against them, and thus adding another leaf to his Vice-regal laurels. This, trust us, is the only way in which they can triumph over Lim ; doing this they will earn for themselves the praise of all good men, and the blessings of a peaceful, united, and prosperous country. TIIF, SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28. 1849 Elm FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Credit publishes an address stated to have been delivered by the PRESIDENT of the Repub:ic to the new Prefects, before their departure for the depart ments. The following is the concluding portion of the PRESIDENT'S speech : "In face," says the President, as reported by the Credit, "in face of the reactionary and revolutionary parties, which hold in reserve for the day when the public pow; rs are to be renewed, solutions of a nature to cause the greatest perturbation in the country, and to again throw everything into doubt, the agents of the Government, in every degree, have at present another solution to support and forward—s solution of a pacific and organising character, and which, in the opinion of the greatest number, is looked on as a guarantee of order and security. That solution is the maintenance, the continuance of what now exists. If the power elected by five millions of votes hesitated to intervene in the most menacing eventuality, in the name of the common safety, it would be on its part an unpardonable act of weakness and incapacity, a veritable desertion; if it sought to so intervene by othtr means than constitu tional ones, it would be an odious folly. It is between these two shoals that you will have to steer, in preparing from the present moment the future and constitutional re-election of the head of the executive power, by aiding it with zit ycur efforts to merit by the strengthening of order, and n) a positive improvement in the well-being of the people, the affection and confidence of the people." The Credit, in remarking on this document, declares that if the above words differ by chance in some degree from what the PRESIDENT really uttered, the purport is most faithfully given. The Credit, for its own part, states itself to be in favour of continuing the PRESIDJINT in power. Several very important Bills were introduced into the Assembly on 3ionday by the 3linisters. The Minister of the Finances brought in a Bill for the purpose of authorising the Bank of France to in crease the circulation of its notes to 425 millions of francs. The Minister of Commerce brought in a Bill for the establishment of a pension fund for old men. The Minister of War brought in a Bill for the for mation of an additional battalion of the Foreign Legion, into which the men of the six battalions of the Garde Mobile, which are to be disbanded on the 31st of December, will be allowed to enter. The Minister of Public Works brought in a Bill demanding a credit of 75,000 f., for the arrangement of the old Chamber of Deputies as a place of meeting for the Legislative Assembly. The second Bill contains a clause, introduced by the PRESIDENT himself, authorising an advance of money by the State for the formation of a pension fund for old workpeople. Some of the reactionary Members of the Assembly, on the ground that this was the introduction into the Bill of a new principle, moved that it be referred to the Council of State. They were defeated by a small majority. A number of Legitimatists were arrested on Sunday night at a house in the Rue Runfort, where they were assembled in secret conclave. MM. CREMIEUX, Met's'. (de Bourges), and JULES PAYEE, representatives of the people, and the other advocates engaged in the defence of the prisoners of Versailles, with the exception of M. ConALLI and M. HENRI ARMAND, are cited to ap pear on the sth of December before the Council of Discipline of the Order of Advocates, to answer for their conduct in protesting against the decision of the High Court and abandoning the defence of the prisoners. The Council is competent to inflict the graduated punishment of admonition, reprimand, censure, suspension, and expulsion from the Order, according to the offence committed. The Session of the Council-General of the Seine was opened in Paris on Monday. M. FRANCOIS ARACO was elected President, and M. LANQUESTIN Secretary. The .Patrie states that the resignation of General LAMORCIERE and M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT has been accepted, and that their successors will be ap pointed at one of the first Cabinet Councils. The illoniteur announces that M. WALLON has been appointed Professor of Modern History of the Faculty of Letters of Paris, in the place of M. GUIZOT, who has been pensioned off. " Several journals," says the Constitutionnel, " speak of differences between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the new Ministry, or between the members themselves of the Ministry. These rumours have no kind of foundation i • and the Bill which had served as the pretext for this piece of news is pre cisely that which was presented in the Assembly yesterday by the whole Cabinet." The magnificent Castle of Luneville, built by the Dukes of LORRAINE, and formerly the residence of StArasLs.us, King of Poland, was burnt to the ground on the 23d inst.

TUEQUAND, OFFI C IAL ASSIGNEE.—This morning, about half-past eleven o'clock, Mr. Turquand, one of the official assignees in the court of Mr. Commissioner Shepherd, died suddenly. It appears that he left home at Norwood in his usual health this morning, and on alighting from the omnibus at the corner of Birchin-lane and King William-street he felt unwell and went into a chemist's shop, and while waiting for a dose to be made up he suddenly fell off the chair, and although prompt assistance was rendered be expired in a few minutes. Mr. Turquand bad been one of the official assignees since the Act for their appointment came into operation, and by his death a third vacancy occurs under the new Act, no vacancies being filled up to have above the number of eight official assignees. ST. JAMES'S THEATRP..—Madetrioistile Rachel re sumes her eng?zement at the Theatre Fret Path, and will be probably included in the list of Mr. Mit chell's engagements for the ensuing season, at the St. James's Theatre. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Breslaw Gazette states, from Vienna of the 21st, that a schism has arisen between the Ban JEL• LACUICH and the Austrian Government, on account of the refusal of the latter to make modifications in the Constitution in favour of the Sclavonians. The letter adds that it was only on the pledge of JELLA CHICII, that such modifications should be made, that the Council of the Banat consented to promulgate the Constitution of the 4th March. The Gcrman Reform says that both in Servia and Croatia great irritation still prevails against the Government. The Wanderer of Vienna states that the commer cial restrictions adopted by the Russian Government have recently become so severe es to threaten to deprive the Austrians of the Russian markets. The Breslau) Gazette states that Count ZICIIIE hss been sent by the Austrian Government to Warsaw, to receive from Princ PASKIEWITCH an account of the expenses of the Russian expedition in Hungary ; but this journal expresses the opinion, that as Russia declared that she would bear the expenses herself, the Austrian Diet will not vote them. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Journal des Dibats • 'publishes the following, under date of Copenhagen, 10th instant:— " We have to-day a piece of news of the highest im portance. The pretended Lieutenant-General of Schles wig-Holstein, who supported with so much obstinacy the unjust pretension to erect the two duchies into an inde• pendent state, and which only a few days since threat ened us with a new war, now begins to relax in Lis exigencies, and demands to come to an understanding with Denmark on the subject. The person whom the Duke d'Augustenbourg has charged with the delicate mission of opening negotiations with the Danish Govern ment on this affair, is the Baron de Biome do Falken berg, a Schleswig noble, who formerly fulfilled the func tions of Danish Minister at London and at St. Peters burgh, and who himself has always IKen one of the greatest opponents of the Schleswig-Holstein insurrec tion. In choosing M. de Biome, the Duke d'Augusten • buurg doubtless had the intention of sender g to Copenhagen what may be called a persona grata, for this gentleman is allied to our most illustrious families, and is generally highly esteemed. M. do Blouse arrived here yesterday, and in the evening the Austrian and English Ministers called on him. This morning M. de Biome waited on the Count de Munro de Bregentved, the Minister of Foreign Relations, who received him with marked distinction, and a long conference took place. Nothing official is known of the result of this interview, but persons who from their position are ge nerally well-informed on political matters, positively state that the Duke d'Augustenbourg has declared himself disposed to accept the proposals made by our Government before the war, vz , that the Duchy of Schlesaig shouli receive a distinct constitution, mid a distinct national representation, and that there should be nothing, in common between Schle swig and Denmark, except the army and the financial administration." Letters from Hamburgh and Berlin confirm the statement already made of direct negotiations between the Government of the Duchies and that of Denmark being about to be opened, and hopes are expressed !hat they will lead to a favourable result. JJANUBIAN Pito V INCES. A letter from Jassy, of the 2.2. d inst., contains the important intelligence that General DUIIAMEL, the Russian Commissioner iu the principalities, has been recalled by his Government. It is supposed that. this has taken place in cony pence o'F the efforts of Fu AD Erremm, the Turkish Envoy Extraordinary at St. Yetersburgh.— German Reform. GREECE. Letters from Athens of the Bth instant state that the KING has dissolved the Chambers and called new Parliament for the 221 of December. Russia has protested energetically against the hospitality given by Greece to the political refugees of different nations. ITALY. A letter from Rome of the 20th, published in the Debats, gives the following account of the state of affairs in that city : " General Barraguay Millers arrived here yesterday morning. At ten o'clock he went to Monsignor Saville, the Minister of Interior and Police, and at noon to the Quirinal, where he was received by the three Cardinals. In two hours afterwards their Eminences went to the Palais Colonna, where the General has fixed his resi dence, to return his visit. Nothing has yet transpired as to the plans of the new General, nor as to the subject of his conferences with the high personages be has visited since his arrival. All I can therefore state is, that a certain degree of uneartalati, and even uneasi ness, has been felt at his nomination. Ido not suppose that this feeling will last long, for the appointment of a new commander to the army can change nothing in the state of affairs. All we have to with for is the return of the Pope, and an honourable motive for the with drawal of the troops. These two objects, far from cal;ing for the employment of violent measures, exclude them, since the mote proprio was accepted by the Assembly. All that the Pontifical Governmest has, therefore, to apprehend will be confined t• advice more or less agreeable, to insinuations more or less energetic, and to demands more or lees persisting. If anything else is attempted the position will become more complicated and the solution be driven off. The Roman question, as has been already found by experience, is not one of those affairs which can be settled by the sword. It is a gordian knot, but one which will turn the edge of the steel which attempts to cut it. The return of the Pope i s indefinitely postponed. Without believing, as there was a report of yesterday that Cardinal Antonelli had written a letter to contradict that determination of the Pope, we do not throw doubt on it. No one will be astonished at it under existing circumstances; and nevertheless, at least in our opinion, it is much more prejudicial than useful. Setting aside the greater number of the questions which are con nected with the presence of the Pontiff in his capital, there is one of the greatest urgency, which should hasten his return, and that is the financial question. The man ner in which the different services have been kept up to the present time is really a miracle, but it is one which must come to an end. A few days since the coffers of the treasury were completely empty. It was compelled to have recourse to the Mont-de-Piete, which advanced 10,000 piastres (50,000 f.); that will suffice for the wants of the moment—but how will the expenses at the end of this month, and for the next month, be provided for ? No one knows, and no one can foresee. Two plans have been presented to the commission of Cardinals to obviate those difficulties—a loan or fresh taxes. The former does not appear capable of realisation. Several agents have presented themselves to offer their assistance in contracting it, but no direct offer has yet been made. As for new taxes, at the present time, they would be both an economical and a rolitical fault. The presence of the Pope at Rome might to a certain degree improve the sate of affairs. The confidence of capitalists depends on the Pontifical Government. The re turn of that Go vernment into its normal conditions would offer them a moral guarantee, the first basis of which is the residence of the Pope at Rlme. Froth that moment, and only from that moment will the Papal restoration be complete, and as the territory is rich enough to offer security for certain reimbursement, the lenders, who are now alarmed, would eagerly come forward. General Rostolan relinquished his functions this morning. Lest evening the proclamation of his departure was posted up. He will leave behind him the most honourable souvenirs. He leaves to-morrow for Portici, from whence he will proceed to France. M. de Corcelles will also leave, for Naples, in a few days. The medals in commemoration of the Pontifical restoration are ready for distribution to the different corps of the expeditionary army. A medal of the same kind, but larger, and in gold, of a value of 1,000 f., will be struck for each of the diplomatists who took part in the conferences of Gaeta." A letter of the IGth from Rome, addressed to the Naziogale of Florence, speaks of the arrest of the mother and three sisters of Paw.° NARDUCCI, who had been killed in the defence of Rome on the 30th of April. The French soldiers, it states, took a part in the arrest. The Statute has a letter to the same effect, and adds that the above arrests produced great excitement at Rome. The Tempo of Naples, a Ministerial journal, which is understood to be under the special patronage of Cardinal ANTONELLI, contains, in its number of the 15th, the following remarkable passage on the French PRESIDENT'S late message : " The message, in so far as it relates to the Roman question, can only be looked upon as a dead letter. As the policy of the Holy See is not subject to change, obstacles would only inspire it with renewed vigour. All Europe, and the vote of the French Legislative As sembly, the true and last expres!ion of the will of France, are in its favour. It has no need of concen trating itself in the conscience of its own right, in order to triumph, since no one will think of opposing it, and of complicating a position which is on the point of being simplified. We know, besides, how positively the President of the French Republic has de nied the false interpretations attributed to his letter, and the assurances he has personally given to the Di plomatic Corps at Paris. We therefore confide in the words and the good sense of Prince Louis Bonaparte, and hope that the preparations for the return of the Su preme Pontiff in his dominions will take place at the same time that the evacuation of the States of the Church will be effected by common agreement." The Giornale cli Roma contains the following announcement of the discovery of a masterpiece of ancient art in a small street in the Trastevere : "A few days back Signor Camillo Jacobini, Minister of Commerce and of the Fine Arts, ordered the exca vations lately commenced to be continued in the Traste vere, end particularly in a small street called Vicolo dello Pekoe.' In the middle of that street, not far from the spot where the celebrated horse of bronze was discovered, the workmen dug up a naked statute of Greek marble, and of a semi-colossal s!z?. In the opinion of several distinguished ar:hts who have seen it, it may be elasstd with any of the chefs (Pceuvre of Greek sculpture, on ice:it - Int of its grcat b rats and ex treme elegisece. Although both the arm and rite I,b,s were broken, fort u n a tely none of the pieces were missing, and Signor Tenerani, who was employed to restore the statue, is of opinion that it represents an athlete cleaning his arm with a ' strigil.' Signor Canine, the director of the excavation in which so esteemed and beautiful a work of art has been found, de clares it to be the work either of Polycletus Sicio nius, or of Lysippus, both of which artists employed similar subjects for their statues, as is described by Pliny in the 34th book of his Natural History, or that it may be a representation of a work of this last artist, if it cannot be allowed to extend Pliny's description of labours in bronze to those of marble. In this manner this statue may have the additional merit of being one of the few mentioned by Pliny. Such pictures of athlete may be often found designed on cups or on Estrucan vases, but a statue made in this way of a young man wbo is smoothing or polishing his skin has never been found up to the present time. " The alhlete is standing up, and, holding the strigil' with his left hand, polishes the skin of his right arm, which he holds extended. His countenance is ideal, his head is rather small, his neck is rather thick, his shoul ders show vigour and force, and his legs hardly surpass the natural size. " And on this there is this observation to be made, that the artist, wishing to represent not only a wrestler, but also a runner, has shown his strength by the sizeof his shoulders, his small head, and his short neck, as may be seen in the forms of Hercules, and his lightness and quickness in running by bis legs, which are strong, nervous, and rather lung. his having the head formed in that way, and his body sufficiently active to match its siz a would be another prouf that this is the statue of Lysippus which, according to Pliny in the aforesaid book, so plessed Tiberius that the Emperor caused it to be transported from the baths of Agrippa to his room; besides, a similar style pervades all bis works. And, in fact, on observation of the marvellous work of the whole figte - e, and on reflecting that although the limbs there sculptured are intended for the wrestling ground and the race-course, they are nevertheless light and graceful, it may not be far from the truth to say that of all the works made by that artist this is the first which is ar rived to us. And from this may be derived the truth of what the author says, that he, Lysippus, sculptured men, not as they were, taut us they ought to be." The Piedmontese Gazette of Nov. 23, contains a circular, addressed by the Minister of the Interior, GALVAGNO, to the intendants of provinces, the object of which is to explain to them the course which the Government desires them to pursue with regard to the approaching elections of members to the Chamber of Representatives. The Minister says that a crisis has arisen from the dissolution of the late Chamber and the necessity for an immediate election of another to take into consideration the grave circum stances in which the country is placed, and that he feels that silence on his part at such a time would be a fault ; he, therefore, thinks it his duty to declare to them with frankness that it is the determination of the Government to maintain the statuto (constitution) at all hazards, which consists in a progressive ame lioration of legislation in Parliament and the preserva tion of the institutions of the country, in order that they may obtain those excellent fruits of perfect civilization which liberty has already bestowed upon other lands. Under these circum stances the Government could not look with indifference upon the ensuing elections, but wishes to explain the duty which it conceives belongs to the intendants and their subordinates. They must ex plain, in the first place, to inferior employes of all classes that they are not to consider that tneir duty consists in promoting the election of this or that can didate, and above all that they are not to intrigue so as to secure the election of any particular candidate, as if they do so, they will do it at their peril. Another thing the Government insists upon is, that no intimi detion shall be practised against any elector, as the consequence of which intolerable oppression is to drive t►cm the hustings peaceable and moderate men, who are conscientiously liberal, as they do not wish to expose themselves to the wrath and the calumny of partisans, from whom the agents of the Government ought to protect them. The Minister disclaims all idea of making the Govern ment the centre of intrigues, but it will do all in its power constitutionally to prevent the intrigues of others. The authorities, however, are bound to en lighten the electors and the country on the actual state of public affairs, on the difficulties that surround the Government, and the good faith by which it is animate d, they ought to press upon the electors to vote and to do their duty at the hustings, and teach them that their true interest lay in acting sincerely with the Government in this crisis, so that a Chamber may be elected that will endure for five years, as the Government deplores the necessity of calling together the electoral colleges so frequently. This document thus concludes : "I pray you to keep me informed as to what you shall have done in this matter, and, above all, what steps you shall have taken to induce the electors to take part in the elections, either through the mayors or by means of manifestoes, or by such other methods as you shall deem proper, and agreeable to the importance and the dignity of your functions." COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, TUESDAY. The Queen and Prince walked early this morning in the Park and grounds of Osborne. The Prince of \Vales and younger members of the Royal Family walked and rode as usual. There was no addition to the royal dinner party yesterday. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, and Prince Alfred, attended by Miss Hildyard and Colonel the lion. A. Gordon, are expected at Osborne this day. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign office. It was attended by Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lans downe, Sir G. Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis Baring, Sir John Hobhouse, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, the Marquis of Clanri carde, and the Earl of Carlisle. The Council sat two hours and a half.

O'Donnell had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday, at the Home office. Mr. John Ellis, M.P., and Mr. Paget, had an in• terview with the Commissioners of Railways yester day, at their office in the Board of Trade. HEALTH of the QUEEN DOWAGER. (From the Court Circular.) " The Priory, Nov. 2/. " The Queen Dowager slept at intervals in the early part of the night and towards morning, bat during several hours her Majesty suffered consider ably from restlessness. "There is no improvement in her Majesty's symp toms this morning. " DAVID DAVIES, M.D." In our List of Gentlemen called to the Bar on the 24th instant, by the Benchers of the Honourable Society of the Middle Ten ple, two names were misprinted, and stand corrected thus :—Michael Prendergast, Esq., and J. Stewart Thorburne, Esq. WEST LONDON ANTI- ENCLOSURE SOCIETY.—At the last meeting of this society, held on the 26th inst., at the Literary Institution, Carlisle-street, Edgeware road, Mr. Patlenden in the chair, letters from Earl Stanhope and Lord Dudley Stuart were read, each ex pressive of satisfaction that the society had not been split into useless branches, the former nobleman recom mending that some precautions should be taken against the recurrence of any such mistake. A vote of thanks being given to the Noble Earl for an additional present to the library, it was resolved that a special meeting of members should be held in the institute that day three weeks, for the purpose of improving the laws and re ceiving the secretary's report of the society's proceed ings from the commencement. By the connexion of this society with the institute, members of the latter have the privilege of reading all the books in the library of the former, free of expense. CLOSED MAIL TO HOLLAND VIA BELGIUM.—The following notice was posted at the,General Post-office this morning:—" On and after the Ist December next a closed snail will be made up at this office for Holland, and transmitted daily (Sundays excepted) by way of Belgium, The correspondence for Holland which the public may desire to forward in this manner should be teldressed, 'By closed mail vialßelgium.' The rates of postage to which such letters will be liable will be a combined British and foreign rate of ls. 2d. when not exceeding half an ounce in weight, 2s. 4d. when above half an ounce and not exceeding or.e ounce in weight, and so on, according to the scale for charging inland letters. This postage may be paid in advance, or the letters sent unpaid, at the option of the sender. News papers and prices current will be chargeable with a postage of one penny each, which must be paid in advance." STATE OF TRADE.—MAECIIESTEE, TUESDAY.-- We had a tolerably quiet market to-day; prices, how ever, continue firm, and the rates offtred last week are generally adhered to. Buyers are using every exertion to obtain goods at lower prices; but where parties have yielded, the sales have been limited, In extremely fine yarns there is inquiry, and prices easily obtained; but the demand for coarse yarns and heavy goods is still very dull, and no advance, compared with the price of cotton, can be obtained. Advices from India refer to coarse yarns as not being profitable to the exporter. Many mills are gradually approaching short time, and on the whole things do not wear a very bright aspect, although the general opinion is, that high rates must uWmately prevail, Printing cloths are more difficult to tell, and prices are a shade lower. Madapollams and 36-inch skirtings are quiet, and in the latter sorts prices are considerably lower; 40-inch shirtings are more in quired for, but the prices offered are too low, therefore little has been done. JECCODet3 are quieter, especially the lower descriptions. There is no change in do mestics. Birmingham was yesterday visited by one of the densest fogs mitzessed in that town for several years. It commenced ab,ttr, twelve o'clock, and gradually in .Ll,:zl the wrapped in the most uncomfortable darkness. 'Towards six o'clock in the evening it seemed to be gradually dis appearing. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very dull, the sales being estimated at only 1,000 bales, in cluding 100 Brszll, 50 Egyptian, and 150 Surat. Prices remaiced without alteration. Railway Shares were rather firmer. In Mark-lane business this morning is excessively dull, with large arrivals of foreign. The murkiness of the atmosphere has interfered with business in the produce and geeeral markets. This morning Mr. Turquand, of the Bankruptcy Court, died suddenly, and, as we hear, on his way to business. The Continental advice's state that at Amsterdam, on Monday, Dutch Two- and-a Half per Cents. were 53 9.16 to 4, with a good business doing. Spanish Three per Cents. were 27 7-16. Portuguese Bonds were again in request. At Vienna, on the 23d inst., Austrian Bonds were 93i. the exchange on London being 10.57. The determination of the English shareholders in the Sambre and Mt use Railway Company to suspend the working of the line after the Ist of next month, owing to the illiberal policy of King Leopold's Government, said indeed, to be in violation ot the original contract, appesrs, as well it may, to have occasioned no small consterna tien among the working classes, the ironmasters, and the owners of other industrial establishments around Plaillipvisle. The Minister of Public Works, it is like wi e stated, was endeavouring to prevent the closing ut the line, but had not been successful; and a deputation of the proprietors of mines had waited upon him with representations ar.d proposals which it was hoped w ould lead to some arrangement. The English shareholders i❑ these foreign railways must have learned by experi ence long era this, that those undertakings will not b) any means realise the expectations formed of them, and, as far as the Belgian Government is concerned, that very little encouragement is offered to them to embark in further undertakings. Even if the 1 , tter of the law were with the Government, we should have thought that in this, as in private deal ings, a liberal policy, in accordance will the altered and adverse circumstances of the case, would have been most politic as well as just. The steamer New World, from the United States, brings layer accounts, but no news of importance. Money matters were easy. The West India Mail furnishes advices which, in some respects, may be deemed more satisfactory. In Jamaica, however, the difficulty concerning the Import Duty Biil can hardly be said to have been surmounted, although the Assembly was endeavouring to make a provision to meet the case, so that vessels arriving during the interreg num, and before a new Act could be passed, might not have their cargoes landed duty free, to the prejudice of those having stocks on hand. In Demerara and other possessions there was a more satisfactory feeling, but not amounting to confidence, and it is evident that the colonists at large must discard t all party spirit and work ardently under the new regime, if they desire not to sink still lower in prosperity. The English Stock Market has not been quite so good owing to a few sales made upon the supposition that there may yet be an unpleasant feeling between Austria and Russia upon the subject of the proposed political union is Germany with the latter power ut its head, and to the exclusion of the former. Consols have been 951 and arc now 95 Exchequer-bills have not been ttieher than 445. to 48s. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 200, and India Stock at 261. The New Three-at d qt-Quarter per Cents. have been 9111- to In Foreign Securities there is no particular move'. went. The remittance from Mexico for the dividends has not made the stock better, which may arise from the state of the account; but it is ramoured that a large araoun', possibly the collection from the tobacco duties, is likely to come by the next packet. Certainly there is a good sum accruing, but when it will be forwarded we cannot pretend to say, and will depend partly perhaps on the vigilance of the bondholders here. The prices have been 26i to 271. Spanibla Three per Cents. are worth 37i, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 35 to Danish liunds are 724. Belgian Four-and-a Halt pt r Cents. are worth 861 to 87. Railway Shares are much the same, but Brighton are not quite so good, nor Great Western and one or two others. The foreign lines are somewhat heavy. BRITISH FUNDS Tlll6 DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.
