These two exceptions, wonderful to relate, are the members of the naval and military professions. According to the existing system the finding of a naval or military Court-Martial is to be considered altogether ultimate and irrevocable. However glaring may be the cruelty of its decision ; although the whole country may ring with the voice of indignation; though the organs of every party or of every phase of public opinion may coincide in pronouncing the decision of the court to be atrociously harsh and undeserved—that decision must, nevertheless, be regarded as final, and its victim must submit from sheer despair to all its evil consequences. Every effort to demand a revision of the sentence is treated as an infringement upon naval or military discipline ; and supposing any one to have sufficient temerity to forward a " Memorial " to the " most reverend, grave, and potent seigniors '' at the Horse Guards or the Admiralty, ten million chances to one but what the document is returned unperused, with a note of the most polite tenor but of flae most insolent brevity. Hence there remains not the faintest possibility of com pensation, unless the journalist proclaims the necessity for a revision through the medium of the Press, or the legislator forces that revision upon the authorities by an ex posure of the abuse in Parliament. So far as this respuubibility fur exertion reposes with ourselves, we have endeavoured, and shall unceasingly endeavour, to agitate for a change in the present organization of Courts-Martial; and, thanks to those principles of justice which penetrate everywhere throughout the community, there is every prospect of the matter being brought, shortly after the open ing of the next session, under the consideration of the ianperial Legislature. Out of the misfortunes of ind'asiduals will arise in this, as in so many preceding rsstances, :the general advantage. So far we are sanguine as to the beneficent result of the present movement. Our anxiety as to the ulterior removal of the enormous evil now pressing so heavily upon our two heroic professions has almost entirely been dissipated. What, in that particular, continues to be the sole object of oar soli citude is the uncertainty whether, in the prevention of future injustice, the rectification of past injustice may be overlooked—that in tine destruction of a general system, so far as it affects large classes of the population, cur national defenders, both land and maritime, the administration of solace to the victims of that system may ba regarded as unnecessary and superfluous. Supposing the present system of Courts-Martial to be destroyed—as destroyed it inevitably will be by those triple vindicators of justice, the People, the Press, and the Parliament—its clownfal at this particular period will be attributable to the indignation excited. by the wrongs endured by Captain DOUGLAS, late of the 16th Regiment, and by Lieute nant GRAHAM, late of 11. M. S. Childers. But for the monstrous sentences pronounced upon those offi cers, one by a naval Court-Martial, the other by a military Court-Martial, the prepostrous evils of the code regulating, these arbitrary and almost irre sponsible tribunals might have remained for yet a con siderable time longer unobserved and consequently unassailed. Fortunately, however, for their gallant professions, but most unfortunately for themselves, these gentlemen have fallen under a despotic and in competent authority, which, as at pre sent organized, should long since have been obsolete. In referring, however, simultaneously to the case of Captain DOUGLAS and Lieutenant GRA. HAM, it must be remembered that we do not thereby wish it to be understood that we regard the absence of culpability in both instances as equivalent. For, while it is indisputable that the late Lieutenant of the Childers was guilty of the high crime of desertion (a desertion, the heinousness of which was no doubt materially dimici3lied by the desperation to which he had been driven by his tyrannical Corn mannder), the charge laid 2gainst the late alptain in the 16th Regi- meat was not less contemptible and frivolous in its character than it was glaringly false as an accusation. We refer simultaneously to the two cases, therefore, not because we recognise any parity in the complete innocence of the accused, but because we regard both as instances of extraordi- hary hardship—one of them showing the necessity for reform in the naval, the other in the military regime. That Captain DOUGLAS should have been tried at all upon such idle and paltry imputations, unsupported as those imputations were by any admissible evi dence, is to us matter of serious astonishment. But that Lieutenant GRAHAM, having demonstrated the accuracy of hi s s t a t emen t s as to the provocation received from his C l o . mtuander, by con ducing to th w e hich ex h pu expulsion of that person from the servi ce Gr e had disgraced by his cruel ties—that Lieutenant we say, having veri fied his assertion s to the satisfaction of the Court- Martial lately sitting mouth, should still be allowed to remain in the Exeter .)m Gaol, classed among felons and subjected to a felon's punishment, un to every generous heart in the communiPtyaishnelt sub i je l et of profound indignation. The nature and tendency, therefore, of our soli ci t ude in referenceato the toC g d e p n t e a r i a ;n DOUGLAS, to Lieutenant GRAHAM, n question of Courts-Martial, are obvious. That the latter tribunals, as they have been hitherto or ganized, are doomed we regard as an abso lute fact. They are doomed by the will of the People, by the word of the Press, and by the approaching decree of the Parliament. Our solici tude, therefore, in that regard has become null, has given place to a sentiment of sustaining confidence. We ara no longer solicitous upon that point, becauze we view the existing system as at this moment virtually annihilated. All our feelings, therefore, have merged into a deep and earnest anxiety lest, in looking to the end of this re-organization, the means should be unobserved, lest, in looking at the mark i o which the arrow of reform is being propelled, we should lose sight of the bow which has been the medium of its propulsion, lest, in bear ing in mind the general injustice of Courts- Martial, we should forget the individual injustice wreaked by those execrable institutions upon the two unfortunate gentlemen we have particularised. Hence we would recal these two remarkable cases to the attention of the Noble Lord and to the Honourable Representative who will at the outset of the next session bring the subject of Courts-Martial before both Houses of the Imperial Parliament. When will Irishmen learn that the welfare and prosperity of their native land can only be attained by good faith and integrity on the part of the people, and the cordial co-operation of all, without exceptions for the benefit of their common country ? So long as class is arrayed against class, so long as those whose interests are ;one and indivisible shall aim at out witting and defrauding each other, there can be no hope for unhappy Ireland. However auspicious the auguries that may be afforded, however favourable the legislation, there can be no beneficial results until the relationship between landlord and tenant be placed on a better foundation, and a complete and cordial union be established [between them : divided they are powerless. No good can arise from the most earnest and zealous exertions of either party so long as these efforts are not only not participated in, but opposed and rendered nugatory by the others. The best land lord can scarcely be expected to expend his capital on the improvement of his estate, if the tenantry will not avail themselves of the opportunities placed within their reach, and if he cannot entertain at least a rea sonable expectation that they will punctually and honestly perform the contracts into which they have deliberately entered. On the other hand, the tenant will have no adequate motive to increase the best retasethefertilit fertility of the soil or to bring his hol din g pro ductive condition if subject to be ejectedhis g a ent. The mat the mere caprice of his landlord, or one must be satisfied that he will in ordinary seasons receive the amount of rent agreed on to be paid ; the other that he himself or his children will be permitted to enjoy the fruits of his skill and industry, either by being continued in possession of his farm, or receiv ing full compensation in money for the value of the unexhausted improvements. When these conditions are performed, both landlords and tenants will really have a community of interest that will lead to the most beneficial results. Hitherto, save in some dis tricts in the northern province, these conditions have not been fulfilled in any part of Ireland; and the me lancholy consequences are but too plainly perceptible in the rude and defective system of agriculture, in the barren and unproductive condition of the soil, and in the sufferings and misery of the inhabitants. A mere cursory inspection of the farms in the south and west of Ireland will afford the best evidence of the absence of a proper understanding between the owners and occupiers, while the flourishing ap pearance of the various holdings in many parts of Ulster will show that there, at least, the'great problem has been satisfactorily solved, and that the solution has materially advanced the interests of all parties concerned, as well of landlords as of tenants, and of the labouring population residing in these more for tunate localities. Recent accounts from Ireland prove beyond the possibility of doubt that there is, at least in some of the southern districts, an organized conspiracy to defraud landlords by carrying off the crops, and !caving them without any adequate remedies for the recovery of rents. There is, in fact, in Tipperary , and some of the adjoining counties, an anti-rent move ment going on that must lead to the most deplorable consequences, unless speedily arrested in its progress. The produce of the lands has in many instances been completely swept away in a single night, by large and , well-drilled parties, who come in sufficient force to overawe and defeat any opposition that can be offered by the police of the vicinity, while the main body hurry off with their plunder to the haggards of some sympathising neighbour, from whence it may subse quently be borne to market. A detached corps will keep the constabulary in check, and distract their attention from the real object of their pursuit, while the baffled and defrauded landlords are not only deprived of their rents, but left respon sible for the large arrears of poor-rates, tithe rent -charge, and other taxes payable in respect of the denuded tenements. A similar operation is performed night after night in different localities, so that there are few proprietors who have not been victimised in turn. These atrocious pro ceedings naturally excite general distrust, so that even the really honest and well•disposed tenant is unduly pressed and made answerable for the back slidings of his neighbour. His crops are seized, and legal expenses accumulated before any opportunity is afforded for the legitimate disposal of his produce. Injured and aggrieved by the apparent hardship of the case—although it is merely an act of self preserva- tion on the part of the landlord, who cannot discrimi nate between the innocent and well-disposed tenant and the reckless and dishonest conspirator—the man, who would otherwise feel disposed to act fairly, enters into the movement heart and soul, and becomes a willing agent in the agrarian outrages that dis grace his district. This system, so disastrous to all concerned, so con trary to public policy, and subversive of the best interests of the nation, can only be checked by a judicious alteration in the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, by giving the occupying tenant full com pensation for his outlay in all unexhausted improve ments of a permanent and lasting character ; in fact, by extending the custom of " tenant-right" to the entire kingdom, and giving it the force of law. Even in the North itself it is essential that the custom should be legalized and rendered compulsory upon the landlords, in place of being a mere voluntary grace on their part. Even in the most favoured districts the salu tary custom is subject to daily encroachments by needy and embarrassed landlords that threaten its existence. We have long and zealously advocated this cause, which we believe to be of the most paramoun importance to the sister kingdom, and which, if not affording a panacea for all the evils by which she has been so grievously Lfilicted through ages of mis government and oppression, is a.t least one of the chief remedies by which her maladies may be healed and new vitality restored to her almost paralyzed energies. We rejoice to find that the ques tion is brought prominently forward by a society established for the purpose of defending the custom of "tenant-right" where it already exists, and of introducing it into districts where it has not hitherto been recognised. Mr. S. Al. GEER, the secretary to the Coleraine Tenant Right Association, has published two adrai- cable letters on this all-important subject, which have been given to the public through the columns of a respected provincial contemporary, the Coleraine Chronicle, and which discuss the disputed points with the utmost clearness and ability. Four letters have already appeared, and we trust that, when the series is completed, it may be published in a separate form, so that the English and the Irish nations may be made thoroughly 'acquainted with the real merits of the question, in which the best interests of Ireland, and through Ireland, of the United Kingdom, are so deeply concerned. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.—The election of Lord Mayor for the city of London will take place on Saturday next, being Michaelmas day. The number of aldermen who have not passed the chair is ten, all of whom will be put to the choice of the livery. Thomas Farncomb, Eiq., of Giffin's- wharf, Tooley-street, elected alderman of the ward Ba , sis,thaw, 1341, being the next in rotation, if rc!urrn d to the Court of Aldermen, will be declared Lord Mayor. The choice rests between him and Aldermen IMusgrave and Hunter. LORD BROUGHAIL—The Noble and Learned Lord completed his 71st year on Wednesday last, and on the occasion of his natal day, a large party assembled at Brougham Hall, WeAtraoreland. The Duke and Duchess of Bean'ort, and Lady Henrietta Somerset, the Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Duero, lion. Mr:Vane, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brougham, &c., have been emoting the recent guests et the Hall. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. —The royal mail steam ship Canada, Captain Judkius, departed from the Mer sey at two o'clock to-day, for Halifax and Now York, with the usual mails for North America, and about 80 passengers. The homeward mails, &c., per the Cale- Ceptaia Leitch, which would leave Boston on the 12th, and Halifax on the 11th instant, may be expected to arrive here on Tuesday. TILE SON, LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, 1 We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. It would appear that there is an intrigue en foot to restore to power M. DE FALLOUX, and the parti pretre, and to drive from the Cabinet not only MM. I)UFAURE, PASSEY arld . :DE TOCQUEVILLE, but even M. ODILON BARROT himself, who is considered not sufficiently reactionary for those who would fain bring back the days of the Ministere deplorable of Charles:X., with their infamous laws of sacrilege, their cruel perse cutions of Protestants and Liberals and their odious supremacy of the parti-pretre. The " Council of Bishops and Priests," now holding in Paris, was assembled for the purpose of endeavouring to oust from the Ministry all but the most obscur antist of its members, in order to give to the parti-pretre the monopoly of po litical power. An endeavour has been made to keep the proceedings of this Council a profound se cret, and it has been so far successful that as yet no regular report of their sayings and doings his been published. A letter, which appears in the Semaine of Saturday, gives us, however, an inkling of the objects of this Synodal Council. "The only question," says the writer of this letter, " which is seriously consi dered in Council, is how we may best turn to profit the presence in the Cabinet of that dear son of the Church, M. DE FALLOEX ;" and, as one of the means of turning it to profit, he is to be urged to give to the clergy the monopoly of education, so that the priest may have, as he had in the time of CHARLES X., the power of shutting up any school in his pariah; that is to say, of depriving Protestants of all school education for their children, unless they choose to send them to the schools conducted by the Jesuits ; and in return the priests will pay the greatest attention to the state of opinion in the various families in their respective polishes, with a view to further the cause of order ; that is to say, they will organise a system of espionage in the bosom of every family, and report the results to their excellent friends in the Ministry. This notable intrigue is already begin ning to bear fruit. The Univers, the organ of the Jesuits, declares with much complacency, that there is a probability of the Roman question being satisfac torily settled. M. DE Fonnoux ' the state of whose health may be considered as the barometer of the prospects of the parti-pretre, is convalescent. ," The third dose of the quinine has quite subdued the fever. The patient passed a very good night." Such was the bulletin issued on Friday, and in the Evenement we find the following significant notifi cation : "M. Mole, it is said, has manifested to his friends his willingness to accept the Presidency of a new Cabinet, if the members of the different moderate portions of the Assemby will enter into an engagement to bring about the dissolution of the present Ministry." The unpopularity of the proposed income-tax of M. PASSY among the proprietary classes has encouraged the parti pretre to make this bold stroke for power. That which they falsely asserted of the Red Republicans in May is true of themselves in September. They are intriguing at Rome against the honour, the dignity, and the interest of France, and they rejoice at every check that their country receives. The following letter from Rome, which 4pears in the Journal des Debuts, will chew the abject state to which the intrigues of the parti-preire has reduced the influence of France in Rome : " ROME, SEPT. 14. " We are still expecting the decision of France in reply to the notification of the 23d of August. The boat bearing it appeared at Civita Vecchia on the 1 lth, from whence it made its way to Naples, where M. de Cor• cellos still remains. " fly the courier of the 12th General Rostolan received a dispatch from the Ministry, which he immediately communicated to the three Cardinal Commissioners. It Ls said that this dispatch was relative to the official pub lication of the Presldent's letter, which has not yet taken place. lam forced to confess that the publicity given to it by the Pitdmentese and Florentine journals, and the agitations that it has caused amongst a certain party, induce the fear lest its tendency should be to adjourn a friendly solution. Justice requires me, however, to ad mit that a rupture seems to me fatally necessary, seeing the extreme point to which the daily relations between the French authorities and the Government of Rome have come. Nay, more; some of the most influential members of the Pontifical Administration seem to act according to a pre-arranged system; and Mon signor Savelli is mentioned as one of those who is' engaged in that path. Monsignor Savelli, Minister of the Interior, is a Corsican, and he perhaps desires to show his new nationality by embar rassing his own country. Be that as it may, since his assumption of power his acts, his words, and his ten dencies have been hostile to us; and this is the more extraordinary, as the Government Commissioners suffer, without approving of it in tote, the ab irato conduct of the Minister. Is it possible that he is more than any one else the personification of the ideas of Gaeta and Portici? This is not impossible. The error of our expedition has been to count on a moderate party which never existed, and which is not now in existence; which wo shall never succeed in (treating, whatever efforts we may make. The population of the Roman States is divided into two well-defined factions—the red and the black. No doubt there are shades between; a little red in the black here, and a little black in the red there. But the intermediate party does not exist: there are but two 'lugs, on one of which is written ' Destroy all,' on the other Re establish all.' France seeks to unite them. The task seems to me a difficult one. Let us hope that it will succeed. Sympathy and cordiality between our offic,,rs and the Roman youth are making progress, though slowly. There have been, indeed, some scenes in coffee-houses and theatres which may be regretted, and which elsewhere might have led to conflicts much to be regretted. But thanks to the measures taken by the General-in- Chief, all that was done there was to shut up the theatres for three nights. M. de Corcelles will, it is said, arrive here to morrow. His presence, whilst it gives more unity to the action of France, will perhaps enable us to get out of the endless lane into which we had entered. The personal esteem in which he is held by the Pope is of a nature to facilitate his relations with the papal agen:s here. It is :;aid that, for reasons of health, General Rostolan solicits his recall. If our Mi nistry grant his request, Rome will regret this general whose rectitude of mind and energy all here have had an opportunity of admiring for some time past. The Aloniteur publishes a notice of the reduction of interest on Treasury Bills, to commence from Saturday, to 4 per cent. on bills of from three to five months ; 5 per cent. on bills from six to eleven months ; G per cent. for bills of a year's date. The effect of this will be to turn the attention of specu lators more to stock, and so give elasticity to the Funds. The Moniteur also publishes returns of the exports and imports of the last eight months, as compared with the corresponding periods of the years 1847 and 1848, from which it is evident that trade is steadily improving.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The conferences for the settlement of the affairs o: llungary commenced on the 18th, under the Presi dency of the EMPEROR: RADETSKY, JELLACEIICII, VON lIESS and Baron GEKSINGOR were present. HAY.. ItiALT was prevented from attending by indisposition. The Slovacks have petitioned to have their country erected into a separate crown-land, independent of Hungary, The Russian and Austrian forces are assembling at Raab, for the seige of Comorn. On the 14th the garrison of Cornorn made a successful sally, in which they captured an immense number of scaling ladders, and other materiel of the besieging army. The Imperialists were very roughly handled, and great numbers of wounded arrived at Vienna on the 15th. A frightful hurricane burst over Pesth on the 13th, accompanied by hail and lightening. 200,000 panes of glass were broken, the cattle grazing in the neigh bouring fields were killed, and all the vineyards round about Pesth and Buda. utterly destroyed. The German Gazette contains a letter from Tuna Severin, of Aug. 2, stating that Generals BEM, GUYON, and STEEN, arrived there with 25 officers, _ _ _ 1,500 men (infantry), and 1,800 cavalry, and had sought the protection of the Turkish troops stationed here. They had been sent to Widdin. It is not said what is to become of the soldiers. The Austrian Correspondence gives the following as the leading points of the letter said to have been addressed by Prince CZA I2TORY SKI to General DLM BINSKI on the subject of Hungary and Poland : "Paris, June 5, 1849. "Honoured General,—l believe that Poland, which has been oppressed by Fo many losses, and enchained by so many mishaps, must be left in the rear as long us possible. May the Poles light under the ba❑ners of the Magyars, but the kingdom of Poland itself should be kept in reserve for the dealing out of the last blows, and not utterly ruin herself by partial and ill-prepared in surrections. We know that even in Russia the germs exist of discontent and convulsion. These would be de stroyed, were the Poles to rise before tho proper mo ment. They have now merely the Hungarian war in prospect. It is necessary that the requisite time should be allowed to them for forming their own con clusion. Warlike expeditious to Lithuania and into the Ukraine must be expedited, before we can think of insurrection in the kingdom itself; Ind the rest of the country. The Reuscs of Cra cow and Gallicia also should not rise before the regu- MONDAY EVEN! PRUSSIA. Several communications on the subject of the Prussian intervention in Baden have taken place be tween the Prussian and Austrian Governments. On the 13th July the Count VON BRANDENBURGH sent the following instructions to Count VON BERNSTOFF, the Prussian Minister at Vienna The report of your Excellency, of the Bth and 10th inst., have safely reached me. " Your Excellency, for instance, mentions the excited feeling created in the mind of the Austrian Ministerial President, Prince Schwarzenberg, by the intelligence, that H. R. H. the Prince of Russia had protested against the auxiliary aid of Austrian troops in Baden for the protection of the Wurtemberg frontier. " This not a just mode of viewing it, and I doubt not but that Prince Schwarzenberg, on being better informed, will see that nothing was designed to wound or offend the Imperial Austrian G overnment. " In order to give y our E xcellency complete informa tion of the facts, I transmit to you herewith the copies of a letter from Prince von Wittgenstein of the 2d instant, and of the answer from his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia on the 3d inst. " The motives for declining the proposition made by the Prince von Wittgenstein are already explained in the last. " They are based on the adequacy of the troops pre sent in the Grand Duchy of Baden to fulfil their task, and on the position assumed by the King's Government towards the existing provisional central power. "It needs, therefore, only to be taken into considera tion, that the proffer of auxiliary aid could only be con sidered as tendered, not by the Imperial Government, but by the Ministry in Frankfort. The protest—in so far as the declining of a material, but not necessary co operation, can be called a protest —was not directed against Austria, but against the Ministry of the provi sional central power. That a proffer of co• operation made by the latter to his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia could not be accepted, necessarily results from the position so assumed, and as Prince Schwarzenberg will assuredly himself admit. " The King's Government did not enter the Grand Duchy of Baden at the re quest of the Central Power, but at that of the Grand Duke himself. This was the ground which the commander of the King's troops could not surrender to Prince Wittgenstein. Practically, not the slightest necessity prevailed for summoning a greater number of troops than what was already disposable there. The complete pacification of Baden, as well as the protection of the Wurtemberg frontiers, could be adequately effected by force at the disposal of his Royal Highness; neither from Baden nor Wurtemberg was any doubt raised, or a wish expressed for an additional auxiliary force. " The Prince of Prussia could hence do nothing else save decline in his answer the attempt on the part of Prince Wittgenstein to mix himself up in an affair which we could necessarily only regard as a question purely between ourselves and the Government of the Grand Duke of Baden." Prince SCHWARZENBERG'S instructions to Baron PROICESCH in Berlin, dated Vienna, July 22, 1849, ran as follows : "In the inclosed copy of a dispatch to Count Bern • storff, of the l3th inst., the Prussian Government ex presses the wish to explain the motives to us which in • duced the Prince of Prussia to decline the offer made to him on the part of the Ministry of the empire, rel a ti ve to the co-op era ti on of an Austrian corps for putting down the Badea insurrection. " The proffer of the ;co-operation of our troops pro ceeded from the Provisional Central Power, under whose disposal we had placed these troops. Consequently the declining of that offer does not affect us, and we co u ld consistently recognise therein neither a protest i ssue d against Austria nor any other unfriendly design. " The Baden Oberland (highlands) up to the 11th in stant, when the Prussian troops entered Lorrach and the vanguard of the Imperial troops Constance, were ex posed to hardships by so much the more aggravated, inasmuch as the inhabitants had testified their devotion to the just cause; the leaders of the insurrection have nearly all of them escaped the arm of justice, and have found a refuge on the Swiss soil, where they are preparing new misfortunes for the German Fatherland, about to dis seminate by so doing new seeds of discord between Ger many and the Swiss Uoufccl.ration. "How serious the dangers are which threaten us all from that quarter, the Prussian Government has itself already recognised, for it has invited us through the medium of Count Bernstorff to forestall such danger by energetic steps against Switzerland. The President of Ministers, Count von Brandenburg, judged it even ex pedient to express the ardent wish to your Excellency that we should forthwith take military occupation of the Swiss frontiers. " This evil alight have been obviated, if our well equipped and disciplined army corps had entered on the 3d instant the Grand Duchy, occupied the Swiss frontier, and cut off the enemy's retreat. "If we are compelled to lament from these grounds alone, that the essential advantages have escaped us, which so well combined a plan of operations would in fallibly have pregented, we can also lament besides, that at the same time this so favourable an opportunity was neglected of proving to foreign countries, as well as the revolutionary party in Germany, that Prussia end Aus tria, in spite of their difference of views still existing as to questions on certain princi:Aes, were nevertheless in perfect accord when it is requisite to act against the common enemy. " This opportunity would have been most welcome to us, since we are convinced that the moral impression of that unity of the two powers, as evinced by such joint operations, would necessarily be of importance and of great effect for the good cause. " The ministry of the empire,' acting:from powers en trusted to it by the Vicar of the Empire, most assuredly contemplated only the good cause, without coupling with it other intentions or objects. " We are by so much the more justified in this assump tion, since the acceptance of this offer by Prussia would not in the slightest degree hare deranged its position with regard to the central power. On the breaking out of the insurrection in Baden, the Grand Duke applied, first of all, to the provisional central pottier for assistance. In order to afford it to him, the Imperial army corps at that time concentrated in and around Frankfort-on-the-Maine immediately took the fold, for the Arch• Duke Vicar of the Empire, at the urgent request of tho King of Prussia, entrusted the chief command of it to a Prussian officer, Lieutenant-General von Peuck;_x. " This Imperial army corps it was that first prevented the revolutionary bands from trespassing beyond the confines of Baden; and thus it rendered a great service to the rest of Germany, when, hereupon, the appearance of the Russian columns on the field enabled the Imperial troops to assume the offensive.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21.--In the sitting of the First Chamber of the States General this day, the PRESIDENT said the commission appointed to draw up the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, had sent it in, together with the observations of the committee. The Address was then read and adopted unanimously, with two amendments. In the sitting of the Second Chamber, on the 21st, M. VON GJBERLEIN accepted the presidency of the Chamber, to which he had been nominated by the KING, and delivered an appropriate speech on the oc casion.—Staats Courant, Sept. 22.

Ar.ISTERDAM, SEPT. 21.—An alarming fire broke out . here last night, at half-past six, at a sugar refiner's, and in half an hour the flames gained such an ascendancy that there Wil3 no possibility of extin- ar Hungarian troops enter there, at their own good time. and not prematurely. The most vigorooe ugainst Itui.4ia however, because this is least of all conjectured, would be an expedition into the Caucam::. Polish officers have been sent in numbers to the Cauca sus. There an understanding must be come to with them and the Cossacks. The funds can alone be fur• nished by the Magyars. You have thought of that already, General, and show, that they will pay to your signature some tens of millions. The whole difficulty consists in the manner of getting these funds converted into ready money. It appears that Hungarian paper circulates only on the spot and in Vienna. Could not some millions be sent hero by way of experiment? I would try and get them cashed in England, or get up a loan on them. I adjoin a special note respecting the concessions, that must inevitably be made to the Slaves, if they are to join the Magi ars. I must menti , n to you that the Croatians have sent to me, and declared their wish to separate from Austria, but that 9 5,000 carbines must Le sent to Ancona for them. They thought that Frsnce would furnish these, but which could net even be spoken of here. This is so important a subject, that it would be worth while laying out the Hungarian money on them. You can send them the arms by Fiume. " CZAR,TORYSKI." guishing them ; '24 fire-engines were speedily on the spot, and the most prompt ;rid praiseworthy assistai:ce was rendered by the scldiers. ILipily the wind, which was very hi g h and strong at the commence ment, changed, and thus the opposite houses, which were ready to ignite, had time to -cool, while the inhabitants of those in the opposite direction had hsd sufficient time to make efrective arrangements. About eleven o'clock the fire was got under. The property that was thus destroyed was insured for 20,000 florins.—Anzsterdamsche Courant, Sept. 22. G-1 SEPTEMBER 24 . , 149. BELGIUM. - BRUSSELS, SEPT. 22—The Prince of CALLIMACIII, the Turkish Ambassador to the French Government, who is to Le accredited to the Belgian Government, is expected here next week. He is now at Paris awaiting the arrival of hip credentials. EGYPT. The Sharkee arrived at Alexandria on the 23d August.

THE WEST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY EVENING. —The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship Trent, Captain W. Clarke, arrived here at five o'clock this evening, with the usual West Indian and Mexican mails. She brings on freight 90,712 dollars for account of the Mexican bondholders, and 1,152,862 dollars on mer chants' account, and the usual cargo. Our Jamaica advices by this arrival are to the 22d ult. The general elections were progressing. Up to the time of the packet's departure thirty-five members had been returned, of whom twenty-three were advocates of retrenchment; and there was no doubt the final result would show a considerable majority in fz.vour of the popular cause. Two new daily papers had been started in Kingston, advocating retrenchment principles. The weather had become rather more agreeable, and some fine showers had fallen. The crops promised fair for 1850. The island was rather unhealthy, and some deaths by dysentery and yellow fever are reported. The commercial intelligence is again generally un favourable. Business in all departments was very dull. Sugar was quoted 19s. to 225. per 100 lb. Rum was also in active demand. We learn from Demerara that :the Tax Ordinance for 1847.48, which expired on the 30th of September last, had been revived by the Combined Court for three months from the Bth of August, imposing the old scale of duties for that period. The effect of this measure was to throw the market into a state of confusion, and an advance in some description of articles resulted. The weather was more favourable, and produce was expected to become more plentiful. Our accounts from Barbadoes are to the 25th of August. Agricultural affairs were in a highly gra tifying condition. The sugar crop for 1849 was finished and exported, and fine rains having pre vailed during the past two months, an excellent yield was expected in 1850. The brig Liffy, from Newport, laden with coals, was wrecked on the 19th ultimo, on the rocks in Long-bay. Trade was rather depressed, and transactions were chiefly for home consumption. In Antigua the weather was very dry, and in some parts of the island the distress for want of water was very great. Agricultural prospects were in conse quence of a disheartening nature. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, SEPT. 22 , 1849. REMOVAL OF THE COURT TO OSBORNE HOUSE.— er Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite are ex pected to arrive at Osborne on Friday. The stay of the Court in the Isle of Wight was originally in tended only to be for a week or ten days, but in con sequence of the appearance of the cholera at Windsor, the Royal Family, it is now expected, will remain here some weeks, probably till nearly the middle of November. SAILING MATCH FOR 200 GUINEAS.—UN FORTUNATE ACCIDENT. About half-past eleven o'clock this morning (Sa turday) the two yachts Tartar and Drift were started from off Cowes Castle, with a fresh breeze from the eastward, so fresh indeed that all thought that there was no chance for the little Tartar; but she showed the knowing ones how easily even they are to be deceived, for in beating up to the Nab she weathered the big 'un, and but for standing too far in would have continued ahead, but on rounding the light vessel she was 3i minutes astern. In running for the Noman she gained a minute on the other yacht, though the large one had her gaff topsail set : in attempting to set the Tartar's, the topsail yard got foul of back stay, and one of the hands attempting to clear it, fell from the masthead on to the deck. Ile pitched on his shoulder and side—a most terrible crash—breaking his ribs, &c. The yacht immediately bore up and ran into Portsmouth harbour. The unfortunate man is still living, but senseless : so great was the fall that the deck was splintered. His name is said to be Munday. SEPT. 23 - . - ►SIIICIDE.—A lad by the name of Godsell was taken up this morning andivlaced in the station-house for stealing a coat. On the policeman going to the cell this- afternoon he found him dead. Ile had hung himself with his braces. Ile was an old offender. TilE PUBLIC nEALTIS ACT....—Many who would gladly avail themselves of the benefits derivable under this Act are deterred by their fears of the probable expense of obtaining and working it. It, therefore, cannot be too generally known, that the having a superintendent inspector down, if the Act, after in quiry, be not adopted, would be no expense to them whatever, as no charge would be made to the place ; if it were adopted, the expense chargeable would be the time of the superintendent inspector, an engineer, at the rate of 3 guineas per day, and of the report— probably from 401. to .50/., or perhaps 801., while a bungling local Act would cost 800/., without any examination, engineering, plan e or report, and from which not one.half of the benefits could be derived. The usual estimate, the maximum estimate, for com plete drainage, including the abolition of cesspools, and the substitution of a soil-pan apparatus, is - about 51. per house, payable by a rate of about 63. per annum, or a little more than a penny per week, which is cheaper than the emptying and cleaning the cess pools. When better known, we have no doubt but this Act will be generally adopted; by it the inha bitants of towns may obtain a better and cheaper supply of water than by any other means. Mono polists naturally oppose its introduction. THE SOUTH-WESTERN (WINDSOR) RAILWAY.— ' By a recent arrangement the system which was adopted on the first opening of the Windsor extension of the Richmond Railway for such of the trains as were not to proceed to Datchet, has been abandoned, and the whole of the trains from Waterloo on the Richmond and Windsor line proceed beyond Richmond, such of the trains as do not proceed to Datehet making Twickenham the terminus, where an extensive depot is being formed for the reception of the trains on their arrival at that place. In consequence of this alteration in the arrange. menta Richmond is now only a station, although the most important ono on the line, and the branch rail which led off the main line into the Richmond terminus, as well as the original terminus itself, has ceased to be of present public service. The new station at Richmond on the main line is handsome, includes every requisite for the conv( fiance and comfort of the public, and is in every way in accordance with the im portance of the place. COLLECTION FOR SUFFERERS BY THE CHOLERA.— The collections in the Scotch National Church, Crown ccurt, yesterday, after the solemn services of the day, amounted to nearly 1001., which Dr. Cumming an nounced was to be divided among the medical practi tioners in the congregation for distribution at their dis cretion among families known to them who hare suffered by the epidemic. INCENDIARY FIRES IN FRANCE.--A letter from Montargis states that incendiary Brea are becoming of alarming frequency in the department of Loiret. On Saturday last two farmhouses at Artenay, with their offices and a vast quantity of agricultural produce, were totally consumed. Assistance was afforded by the troops in the neighbourhood. On the same Jaya farmhouse was burnt at Olson, and property to the amount of up wards of 20,000 francs totally consumed. The following placard was extet.sively posted at Rome two nights after the publication of the letter of the French PRESIDENT to Colonel NEY : " We have rend the letters of the President to Colonel Ney; it is very good; it is excellent. But now for the facts! "Do you aid, yes or no, in the re-establishment of the Holy Inquisition? "Do you aid, yes or no, in the re-establishment of the tribunals of the Vicariate of the Sacred Consults, and of other exceptional tribunals? "Do you aid, yes or no, in the institution of a Com mission to mako a judicial inquiry into the religious and political opinions of every citizen? " Do you aid, yes or no, a Government formed by priests, for the exclusive benefit of priests, and which is opposed to every idea of progress, of liberty, and of civi lizttion? "Do you, yes or no, afford active assistance to a Gregorian police, to a commission of Cardinals, among whom is one who i 4 a personal enemy to Pius IX. and to his family, whom he prosecuted at the time that he was Bishop of Pesaro? " The letter of the President is very good, but the facts are very bad; therefore your flag is draggled in the mud. MONF,..Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY Q IJAR2 ER TO TIIREE. There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday, and the sales were estimated at about 5,0)0 balks, including 4,000 American, 150 Peruam and Maranharn at 5,-rd. to co., end 300 Surat at 40. to 4 1. per lb. The market closed shadily at former prices.— The market for Railway Shares was better at a con siderable advance in prices. In Mark-lane to-day there is a steady trade, and prices are fairly supported in every instance. The steamer from the West Indies brings advices which in some respects may be favourably interpreted. In Jamaica the attention of the planters and others was more than ever directed to the cultivation of staples, which will pay better than sugar, and are now obtained almost exclusively from foreign parts. There are complaints made that the Europeans are too aristocratic in their notions, and too little inclined to work themselves, or to instruct others in new branches of agriculture. Sugar and coffee have hitherto engaged their almost undivided at tention. Even the ereoles had bean taught that it was digraceful to labour. The weather had been very dry and sultry, and agriculture had suffered in consequence, but before the packet left fair rains had fallen, which, if they continued, would be productive of much good. The people of Trinidad were being stimulated by Lord Harris to the improvement of their estates. His Excellency had offered premiums for the best essay upon the mineral and vegetable capabilities of the island. The inhabitants expected to obtain, more than any of the other colonies, au advan tage form the alteration in the navigation-laws, being well situated for trade with the Spanish Main, and ex pect a vast increase in the commerce carried on with the adjacent continent The colony of Demerara was still unsettled by the disputes between a portion of the Combined Court and the Governor as to the estimates, &c. A Bill had been intrroduced into the Legislature to enable the Demerara Railway to borrow 50,000/, 'and there was a project for a joint-stock company, which was intended to introduce the new system of culti vation, with drainage, &c., by means of cattle and machinery. Several of the colonies had petitioned for the more energetic suppression of the slave-trade, and had re ceived favourable replies from the home Government, and an intimation that the recognised independent State, Libatia, would assist materially in suppressing slavery along an extensive coast. The Hamburgh mail of Friday last brings the rate of exchange:on London at 13:101, being 1 higher again, and with bills; in request. Stocks were firm, but shares gene rally lower. The report of that Leipsic lair to the 18th inst. is exceedingly favourable. The business for the eastern trade had almost been concluded, and for years there had not been such a large attendance of buyers from Moldavia and Wallachia,. A great deal had been done it German silks and English textile goods generally. The Poles were extensive purchasers; and altogether it was long since such extensive sales had been effected, or such full prices realised. We learn from Vienna that bargains had been made on the new loan, eeliverable a month after the issue of the scrip, at 85k. The Stock Market is extremely quiet, but there is the same firm tone as was perceptible on Saturday, and the advance then realised is fully maintained in expectation of some demand for re-investment upon the opening of the Transfer-books. Consols have been 9211 to 92i for Transfer, and 92-7.,- to 93 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 355. to 38s. premium, being about ls. lower. India Bonds have realised 74; Consols now are about 92-a to 924 for Money, at,d 92-',l to 92i for Account. The Foreign Securities have been rather fluctuating, principally as regards Mexican, which have alternated from 27 , a to 271. The remittance of over 90,000 dollars received for the dividends is another earnest of good in tentions, and whether the recent proposals of Mr. Ro bertson are agreed to or not will be of little importance, provided the money comes. It is said that Messrs. Schneider have had part of the money forwarded to them in order to complete the payment of the dividend which they had commenced. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 29 to 29k, Brazilian small, 864; and Buenos Ayres, 48;,1. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been film at 884. The Railway Share market has been decidedly higher this morning for both the old and new lines, with more doing. The Aberdeen Company's arrangement with the Scottish Midland will yield, it is said, a profit of 5,0001. to 6,000/ per annum to the former. It is ascertained beyond a doubt that the Beating in shares is very exten sive, and the outside speculators have quite as much to do with it as people in the house.
