MONDAY. NOVEMBER 12, 1849. Very recently we had occasion to comment in tne strongest terms of imEgnation on the tyrannical pro ce_diogs of a superior officer in the naval proression. It is now our disagreeable duty to make allusions to similar misconduct on the part of a superior officer in the military profession. In consequence of the arbitrary hearing of the then Commander PITMAN, st veral individuals were driven to the commission of such serious offences as suicide and desertion on board her 11I.IJEsTv's ship Childers. In consequence of th? equdl desk otic regulations of Colonel ARTHUR, a nu rnkJer of soldiers have lately been goaded en to acts of the most culpable insubordination in the 31 Dragoon regiment. The result of both series of occurrences has been the convocation of courts martial, from whose authority the different offenders have received punishment. Meanwhile, hots ever, a PITMAN has been ignominiously dis missed the service of his QUEEN and country, whereas it remains yet to be seen whether an ARTHUR is deemed worthy to hold his present high position under the colours of his SOVEREIGN. Doubtle:s the unfortunate Lieutenant GRAHAM was culpable to a very considerable extent, insomuch as he permitted his feelings so far to master his better judgment, as to induce him to fly from his post whila holding a commission in the Royal Navy. Doubtless, also, the various privates who have been convicted of the grievous fault of " break ing from barracks" are guilty of offences deserving the most serious reprehension. For neither the sea service nor the land-service could be preserved in any reasonable condition were proceedings such as these to be connived at, or to be allowed to pass by alto geter unpunished. Martial law is compelled to take cognizinee of acts amounting to the great crimes of desertion or insubordination. To dream for one moment of permitting such criminality as that of parties setting at defiance the ordinances of either service, no matter upon what plea, would be wholly idle and preposterous. Obedience to orders is the vitality of both the naval and military professions. To that supreme martial dogma everything must be rendered subordinate, otherwise the navy becomes no longer a navy, hut a body of salt water mutineers ; the army remains no longer an army, but a rabble of lawless fighting men. During times of war, in deed, the submission to authority is observed with such necessary strictness that the slightest act of self- will on the part of a subordinate is punished with the most rigorous severity, the drum head court-martial sentences the prisoner, in 99 cases out of every 100, to death, and the execution' is so summary that it is absolutely iMmediate. We are very far indeed from being disposed in the smallest particular to quarrel with this stern and inexorable system. It would be a sheer absurdity to question its advisability. We recognise, of course, the impera tive necessity of maintaining discipline in an armed multitude, .at any cost short of simple justice. We see the wisdom of the decree as clearly as we perceive the judicious nature of those very admirable remarks made by Mr. Macau- LAY somewhere in his historical criticisms, where he says—" If there be any truth established by the universal experience of nations, it is this, that to carry the spirit of peace into war is a weak and cruel policy. The time of negotiation is the time for deliberation and delay ; but when an extreme case calls for that reme d y w hi c h i s , i n its own nature, most violent, and which, in such cases, is a remedy only because it is violent, it is idle to think of mitigating and diluting. Languid war can do nothing which negotiation or submission will not do better; and to ac t on any other principle is not to save blood and money, but to squander them?' Now, the principles which the historian has here applied to the conduct of war may with equal telicity be applied to the materials and appliances of war. If a severe and decisive policy be the only reasonable and effectual one for the prosecution of warfare, then most certainly upon the same ground a severe and decisive policy is the only rational and effective course to be adopted in the management of an army in all its several proportions, divisions, regiments) and companies. Nevertheless, while it is altogether undeniable that discipline is essential to the existence of an armed force, that armed force naval or military, it is equally indi,putable that obedience to authority must be ac companied by the administration—we will not say of clemency but—of the simplest justice. Relax the bonds of authority in a regiment or on board a man• of-war, and you will soon see the character of the crew or of the soldiery become degenerated. Evince a perverse tyranny, a habitual unfairness, or a total indifference to the merits of the men under command, and you create all kinds of inducements to insubor dination, you foster the evil spirit of mutiny, you goad many on even to flagrant acts of violence or desertion. This was not long since most lamentably shown by the result of the cruelties of the Commander of her Majesty's shipChilders. The same effect has yet more recently been witnessed in certain deplorable occur rences at Nottingham. On the 9th of October, while inspecting the troops for a field-day, Lieut.-Colonel ARTHUR issued a peremptory order that the whole regiment should be confined to barracks for imperfect grooming of the horses, there to remain in durance until such time as he, the commanding officer, should feel satisfied with their appearance. By this harsh, abrupt, and most arbitrary proceeding, innocent and guilty were alike subjected to a very irksome punish ment. The whole regiment, without any discrimina tion whatever, between right or wrong,were treated by the colonel as offenders. As an instance of the shame ful and monstrous injustice of the proceeding, it is only necessary to refer to a single individual out of the many who were with peculiar hardship rendered ame nable for the slovenly grooming of the really culpable. Private THOMAS HOLMES (who himself conducted his own defence before the court-martial, and who did so, moreover, with the most admirable temper and the most intelligent circumspection) proved from the cross-examination of no less a personage than Lieutenant-Colonel ARTHUR, and of his own com manding officer Captain DYSON, that he (H.owiss) was, on the 9th of October, employed in looking after the young horses, none of which were on that day's parade, and that consequently he was punished for the imperfect grooming of his horses when his horses were not even inspected—much less found to be imperfectly groomed. After remaining four days patiently under this disgraceful ill• treat ment, in a moment (as he himself acknowledges) of extreme impatience and irritation he "broke from barracks," as the phrase is, and for that offence is sentenced by court-martial to 84 days' incarceration ! Now we put it to any rational person if, with all possible consideration for the necessity of maintaining discipline, such proceedings as these are not calculated to breed a spirit of open mutiny and insubordination ? We are anxious, moreover, to learn from the subse quent acts of the authorities at the Horse Guards, whether, if a PITMAN was deemed unfitted to continue in the service of his country, an ARTHUR is regarded as a proper person to continue in his present rank as colonel of a distinguished regiment. The Wiener Zeitung, an organ of the Austrian Government, has in a, laboured article attempted to justify the atrocious murder of the Hungarian patriot Count LOUIS BATTRYANY. That sanguinary and infamous butchery has, indeed, elicited the marked condemnaticn of men of all classes and parties throughout the civilized world. Even those who were opposed to the gallant Magyars who so gloriously struggled in defence of their violated nationality, who justified the invasion on the liberties of that oppressed and long-suffering nation by the myrmidons of the lied Emrauort, and even the unwarranted intervention of the Russian AUTOCRAT, had not a word to utter in favour of that most tyrannical and illegal massacre. No second opinion was entertained by any save those who participated in the woman-floggings and the wholesale cold-blooded slaughters of the hangman HAYNAU. Even the modern NERo, callous and hardened as he has proved himself to be to the sufferings of the heroic people who dared to dispute the despotic authority of his house and Government, and to insist upon the maintenance of their constitutional liberties, could not remain indifferent to the reproaches and curses which his blood-thirsty conduct provoked. Hence the elaborate effort to vindicate this most cruel and infamous act of a cruel and infamous administration. For among the nume rous cases of shooting and hanging that have disgusted Europe, there was not one in which the semblance and pretence of justice was so wholly wanting as in that of the martyred BITTLIYAN Y. That. mn%t completely and signally failed. It exhibits, even in a stronger light, the unmitigated atrocity of the execu tioners of that high- minded but unfortunate nobleman, whose memory will long be enshrined in he hearts of his countrymen, and of the lovers of freedom and haters of oppression throughout the world. The weakness of their cause becomes most apparent when viewed through the flimsy veil of sophistry, by which the hireling scribe has en deavoured to conceal the worst and the most distorted features of the heart-sickening trans action. 'The document will speak for itself. No language that we could utter would render the failure more conspicuous than a simple perusal of the futile attempt to justify a crime of so deep a dye. We should not now refer to it in any manner were it not that the motive is revealed that led to the premature and dishonoured—hut not dishonourable—death of the patriot statesman. We say not dishonourable, for the shame and ignominy rest upon his accusers and judges, and no death can be disgraceful that is sustained in the cause of a bleeding and oppressed nation. It had previously b een a matter of astonishment how Count BATTRYANY had excited so deadly a feeling of animosity in the mind—we cannot say in the heart, for heart there is none—of the Austrian. What were the extraordinary services he rendered in the gallant but ineffectual struggle for Hungarian independence ? His whole soul was undoubtedly with his compatriots, and, if permitted, his life and fortune would have been freely devoted to the cause. But he was made a captive when, trusting to the faith of the Austrian, he went as the envoy and messenger of peace and re conciliation. In his person the universally recognised principle of the sacred character of an ambassador was violated, a principle which even barbarians and savages have respected. Ike was immured in their dungeons during the most stirring and eventful scenes of the campaign, and was unable to act on behalf of his unfortunate country. By no code of laws could wishes or feelings be rendered punishable ; there should be some overt acts in support of those desires before they could be considered criminal. What, then, was his offence ? It is now stated in the columns of the Wiener Zeitung. By his counsels, it is said, the sinews of war were provided for the contest. "He was found guilty," says the writer, "of having, by a treasonable issue of Hungarian bank-notes, created the most efficient lever of the rebellion." And he adds, "this measure bears the stamp of illegality, for it wanted the consent of the Sovereign, and its purpose is generally allowed to have been the giving Hungary the means of seceding from Austria." Here, then, it is shown hew potent an instrument in the regeneration of a nation the much despised rags, against which the bullionists sneer, might be rendered. The issue of inconvertible notes, not based on large deposits of gold or silver—but resting on the honour and integrity of a people struggling for their birthright, created the most efficient lever of the movement. It gave Hungary the " means of seceding from Austria." " Why, then," as a correspondent of a morning contemporary has pertinently asked, "when so much can be done by the issue of an inconvertible paper money, why should we English be so simple as to adhere to crude monetary Acts, which every five years create commercial panics, without affording the least possible security in another direction ? The inquiry is worthy of mature and attentive consideration. if all the expenses of a war can be borne by means of a paper currency, if the people can make the most extraordinary exertions by its assistance, why should we not resort thereto in time of peace ? We could reclaim our wastes, improve the fertility of lands already under cultivation, afford full and remunerative employment to every man able and Willing to work : the real capital of the country would be brought into active operation. As we have already explained, there is no want of that capital. A measure of value alone is required; and the bank note that would be received in payment of taxes and rendered a legal tender, would answer every beneficial purpose. It may be asked, what security there would be for the redemp tion of these notes ? 'We answer, the same security that is now afforded for thein th te e r r e e s s t ou o r f e t e h s e of p e u v b e l r i y c debt—the national faith, and on description of this mighty empire. Bank of England notes were received with implicit confidence during the entire war. The credit of the Bank for all do mestic purposes was perfect, simply because it held a certain quantity of Governrcent securities. How much superior would be the notional notes, issued from the Exchequer of Great Britain, for which every Englishman was responsible with his entire property and labour. Lord ASHBURTON has told us that "we could not have carried on the war against France without the Bank Restriction Act." Let us have a new Restriction Act, that will enable us to gain a glorious victory over distress, destitution, and misery throughout the British dominions, in all parts of the globe. In another part of the paper will be seen a Letter containing extracts from the Confession of Augsburg in the original Latin and the contemporary translation, bearing on the question of Sabbath ob servance. Having been made with care, they may usefully be preserved by any desirous of collecting documentary evidence on the opinions of the fathers of Protestantism and the Church of England. :11E FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur contains the following :—" The PRESIDENT said in his last Message—' I am resolved to be worthy of the confidence of the nation in main taining the Constitution which I have sworn to.' These words are clear and precise, and ought to be safe from any misinterpretation or doubt. Notwith standing this, in certain journals, in drawing-rooms, at the Assembly, everywhere in fact, rumours are circulated of a pretended coup trete. This menace is kept suspended, as if intentionally, over the heads of the persons most easily alarmed, and in this way public security is wickedly and maliciously troubled. . . We are authorised to declare that in all this there is perfidious intention, odious calumny, and insult to the loyalty of him who never broke his word." The Moniteur contains a long report, dated Nov. 9, from M. A. FOULD Minister of Finance, addressed to the PRESIDENT of le Republic, relative the mode of paying the interest of the rentes into which the money of savings' banks, the bons du tresor, and the Lyons railway shares have been converted. The re port states that this vast operation is now rapidly approaching its term, and that not less than 600,000 new inscriptions have been created throughout every part of the country : " The Government, however," says the report," would but imperfectly perform its task if it did not devise means of having the dividends paid exactly. Already a first experiment was made in the last payment on the 5 per cents., into which the above values were almost all converted. By means of temporary measures, and by organizing at Paris a sort of auxiliary commercial service, the payment was effected without any com plaint being made, and without any change of import ance in what had previously taken place in paving the dividends and their arrears. But it having been evident that in order to provide for such a mass of pay• ments the ordinary means of execution were insufficient, M. Passy appointed a Committee of experienced men— selected from the court of accounts and from the oen- tral administration of finance, to examine the question and to see what course it would be necessary to adopt. That committee was finishing its labours when I (M. Fould) took possession of the post of the Minister of Finance, and I now, after having attentively investigated its deliberations, come forward to propose to you a series of provisions calculated to meet the case. One of the Inncipal inconveniences of the present system is to oblige the administration to assign every year nominative warrants tor each portion of rente—a labour of immense extent, and which has to be repeated with the payers and receivers general, with other documents in such numbers, that the administration considered it necessary to dispense with a part of them for 1849. The Bill which I adjourn to the present re port will remedy this state of things by substituting from 1850, in the place of nominative statements of arrears, transferable nominative bulletins which will remain in the hands of the payers and which will be available for ten years. On their side, the receivers general, who in the departments will continue to be charged with the payment of the dividends to the par ties interested, will receive, in place of a copy of the nominative statements, a list of these same papers by numbers in series and by the sums due, which in like manner will serve for several years, being modified only in what regards rentes newly inscribed or annulled. This modification, and some others which have been decided on, will produce a notable simplification of labour, and the additional work can thus be effected without any augmentation of expense. It is also in- tended to introduce mehsures to enable the holder& of the rentes in the departments *to obtain at the chef-lieu, by means of third parties, with facility and without ex pense, the sums coming due to them. A simplification of this extensive nature will, it is believed, constitute a ..w element of public credit, by inducing persons having money to invest to purchuae more readily into the public funds." [he report is followed by a Bill, in six articles, car rying out the plans set forth in it, and bearing the approval of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The following proclamation by the new Prefect of Police, M. CARLIER, has been posted on the walls of Paris this morning : " Inhabitants of Paris,—The high confidence of the President of the Republic has just called me to the post of Prefect of Police. It will be for me an eternal honour to have been considered worthy of seconding in those delicate functions the great and straightforward policy inaugurated by the acts and declarations of the head of the State. I am about to demand from my fellow citizens their co-operation and support, in proMising them my zeal and energy. Peaceable men of all classes can only see in me a friend ; I am, mad always shall be, I do not say the enemy, but the courageous and inde fatigable adversary of perturbators, both chiefs and in struments. Pro ection to religion, to labour, and to tamily ties, to property, to good institutions, to repent ance even; vigilance and rigour towards Socialism, im morality, disorder, improper publications, and the ob stinacy of the factious—such will be the rule of my conduct. "National Guards, heads of manufacturing and in dustrial establishments, fathers of families, tradesmen, workmen, assist me in the accomplishment of my mis sion; it belongs to the initiative of good citizens to faci litate the action of the laws and of authority; the internal discipline of families and workshops is the most power ful auxiliary of the police of the State; our cause is the same; you wish for a protective Government; we wish for enlightened liberty; moderation founded on force will, doubtless, daunt bad passions. The most trying days are passed; but we must nut slumber on a first success; nothing has been done while there yet remains anything to do for order and security. Inhabitants of Paris, the question now is to form a league against Socialism; that is the cause of every interest. Let us revive private confidence by restoring public security; let us secure the future welfare of all by the stability of institutions faithfully respected, but firmly applied; it is between us all a mutual assurance; we have therefore a right to rely on each other. You may rely on me. (Signed) " CARLIER. "Seen and approved by the Minister of the Interior, (Signed) "F. BARROT." The proclamation of M. CARLIER is severely criticised by the Republican journals. The Constitutionnel of Saturday publishes an elaborate defence of the PRESIDENT of the Republic against the attacks of those who impute to him im proper motives for the dismissal of his late Ministry. It mentions two imputations in particular which it regards as calumnious. The first is that he aimed at the empire, and had therefore resolved to appoint Ministers who would support this project. This im putation, says the Constitutionnel, is refuted by his Message. The second imputation assigns to him a wish to obtain a Cabinet which would support a demand for an increase of salary as chief magis trate. To this the Constitutionnel gives a very conclusive answer by stating that M. DUFAURE and his colleagues had unanimously agreed to demand a salary of three millions of francs per annum for the PRESIDENT of the Republic, rand were certain of obtaining it from the majority. If, there fore, Louis NAPOLEON had been actuated by merely pecuniary considerations, he would not have changed his Ministry and incurred the risk of failure. It must be evident, therefore, adds the Constitutionnel, that if, as some persons say, the majority may hesitate to do for M. FERDINAND BARROT what they would have done for M. DUFAURE, Louis NAPOLEON had patriot ism enough to attempt the formation of a Government which would strengthen the executive for the public welfare, even although by doing so he should sacri fice his own personal interests. The Constitutionnel, however, does not believe that the majority will act so unworthily as to resist now what they would have acceded to the late Ministry. It would seem, from the above article, that M. TIIIERS regards the new Ministry as likely to last, and the experiment of the personal government of the PRE SIDENT as at all events feasable. The following scene took place at the High Court of Versailles, duringithe sitting of Friday : The Judges took their seats at eleven o'clock. M. Suin, Avocat-General, resumed his requisitory, and proceeded to recapitulate the charges proved against the accused who belonged to the Artillery of the National Guard. Having had occasion to mention that it had been proved that some National Guards, who took part in the demonstration of 13th June, had changed the plate of their shakos for others bearing the number of the sth Legion— The accused Schmitz interrupted him with the exclamation—That was never said I The President—Accused, you have not the right to interrupt. Schmitz—Nor has he the right to lie.—(Agitation.) The President—Accused, I shall be obliged to cause you to be removed from the court. Schmitz—l shall be glad if you do. M. de Royer, Avocat-General, said that the outrage the prisoner had made to a magistrate was unpardonable. Besides, he was wrong, in point of fast, Duteuil bad ,deposed to the circumstance THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12 1849 mentioned. It was, consequently, by alleging a lie that he had given the lie to a magistrate. He (the Avocet- General) required that Art. 222 of the Penal Code should be applied to him. The President—Accused, present your justification. —(Movement of attention.) Schmitz—l maintain what I have said. The witness Duteuil was never able to prove what he asserted. The President—Accused, I recommend you to weigh your words. Do you maintain what you have said ?---(Agitation among the accused.) Several of the accused—No, no! He does not ! Guinard, Forestier, and other accused seated near Schmitz, here recommended him to withdraw his words. The accused Lemaitre—What my co-accused Schmitz said did not apply to the Avocat-General, but to the deposition of the witness Duteuil. The Preident—Accused Lemaitre, you have no right to speak. It is to you, accused Schmitz, that I address myself; do you maintain what you have said ? Schmitz --I do, Monsieur le President. The President—Will any advocate undertake to say something in favour of the accused? M. Jules Favre rose and said that though every accused owed respect to the law, to the High Court, and to the jury, some allowance should be made fur one in Schmitz's position. At the moment at which the jury was about to decide on the fate of the accused, it was not becoming to demand an act of severity which, no doubt, would prove not to be in accordance with the verdict which would be given. The President—Accused, will you retract what you said ? Here every eye was turned to the accused, and every one expected that he would retract ; but Schmitz said, when the witness Duteuil was examined, I defied him to name the citizens who, as he said, took without right the number of the sth legion ; but he could not do so. This incident should be reserved to the end of the trial. That would leave the matter open, and, at the same time, be an act of indulgence worthy of the magistrates who compose the High Court. The Avocat- General, de Royer, insisted that judg ment should be passed on Schmitz at once, if he would not retract. Schmitz—When man, whoever he may be, violates the truth, it is the right of every one, and especially of a person in my situation, to tell him that he lies. The President—Sit down. You have no longer any right to speak. • Schmitz—A man should not be struck when he is down. The Avocat- General said he persisted in his demand, and the judges, amidst great agitation in the court, retired to deliberate. The accused seemed to reproach Schmitz with his obstinacy. After half an hour's absence the judges returned, and The President read a judgment condemning Schmitz, in virtue of Art. 222 of the Penal Code, to two years' imprisonment.—(Agitation.) M. Suin, Avocet- General, then proceeded with his requisitory, and insisted that the evidence established the guilt of Guinard, Forestier, Achintre, Delahaye, Lemaitre, Merliot, Isloubet, Fradoulet de Chalandar, Vernon, Angelot, and Schmitz. He concluded by telling the jury that the Republic was not in ques tion inthe case, and that the accused were partisans of doctrines destructive of society. Whilst the Avocat-General was stating the facts proved against Forestier, that accused rose several times and insisted on speaking, but the President said he could not be allowed to do so, and his co-accused persuaded him to be silent. The case for the prosecution being now fully com plet ed, the court adjourned at a quarter-past four o'clock. Great indignation is expressed by some of the jour nals at the severity of the sentence passed on Schmitz. On Saturday M. Michel del Bourges opened the case for the defence by declaring that his course would be to prove that all violation of . the Constitu tion by a Government gives the right, not only of protestation, but of insurrection and resistance; and as the Court reminded him that he could not be allowed to follow such a course, the advocate de clared that he would decline altogether to plead. The Court having deliberated on the advocate's pro posed line of proceeding, rejected it, and all the prisoners' counsel at once threw up their briefs and withdrew. The President of the Court then announced that he would assign counsel to the prisoners, on which they all declared that they would not permit counsel chosen by that court to conduct their defence. M. FARINA has addressed a letter to the jour nals, in reply to the note in the Patrie, contra dicting his evidence before the High Court of Justice, relative to General CHANGARNIER, in which he positively maintains the correctness of the language which he affirmed that officer employed on June 13. The Constitutionnel says :—The Minister of Marine has just restored Colonel FIERON to the post of Go vernor of Guadeloupe. The Abbe OILLA.NDI, peraonal friend, and ono of the constant advisers of the Pore, has just arrive d in Paris, it is said, on a private mission from his Holi ness to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. We find the following in the Siecle :—" We have already said that the return of the POPE to Rome would not be the signal for that of our army to France. That anticipation is fully confirmed by the accounts given by M. FRUIT, representative of the people, who has returned from Italy, where he had been charged with a mission to Pius IX. The Holy Father spoke in terms of gratitude of our army ; he is impatient to thank it personally, and far from de manding its removal, he considers its presence as a pledge of security, and as an element of strength for his government. Hence, our poor soldiers must un derstand what mission is destined for them. They will have to bend the Roman people under a despotism which the hand of Pius IX. will doubtless soften, but which not the less will be despotism, since no limits can, assorting to our new fathers of the Church be opposed to the temporal omnipotence of the POPE. The Union publishes the following letter from Toulon, of the 6th :—" The steamer which left to day for Civita Vecchia with the mail, carried out several officers and surgeons to join their respective regiments. She also takes dispatches from the Government for General ROSTOLAN, and is doubtless the bearer of instructions from the new Ministry for the Commander in-Chief of the army in Italy, which, it appears. is to pass the winter in the Roman States. Several French officers who had entered the Egyptian army have been dismissed from their services by the new Pacha, and after having returned here have now gone to the Regency of Tunis, where they have found employment." In the Assembly on Saturday the Lyons and Avignon Railway Bill was read a second time. The departure of General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS for Rome has been postponed until Monday, to enable him to attend a Council of Ministers on Saturday night, and to have an interview with the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Constitutionnel states that the Government, as yet, had received no reply from M. DE RerSzvAL to the dispatch :of the 31st ult., informing him of his nomination as Minister of Foreign Affairs. The PRESIDENT of the Republic went yesterday in grand state to the Palais de Justice, and after having attended High Mass in the Sainte Chapelle, proceeded to diiitribute the prizes to the exhibitors of manu factures in the exposition of 1849. The PRESIDENT afterwards entertained at dinner 80 of the exhibitors, 49 of whom received the Cross of the Legion of Honour. There were various rumours of an intended coup d'etat, propagated by the disappointed parti pretre, but the people of Paris attached no credit to them ; on the other hand, it is stated that a correspondence of a treasonable character between an ex-Minister of the monarchy and the Emperor of RUSSIA has been dis covered by M. CARLIER, who has been in consequence rewarded by being appointed Prefect of Police. A new play, entitled Ccesar s Testament has been produced at the Theatre Francais, and has occasioned much excitement, as the audience applied many of the passages to the existing state of public affairs. The PRESIDENT was present at the representation,:and was very well received. There was a great deal of business done at the Pas sageTHE LONDON de l'Opera yesterday, but p rices hav e further im proved.

The Minister of Finance of Spain, on presenting the budget to the Cortes on the 3d, declared that the Government would not be able to prevent the ex penses from exceeding the receipts ; but that it in tended making all the reductions possible. He also announced that the Government, in order to reduce the expenses, would propose to the Cortes to take off one month's pay from the c ivil and military func tionaries, and two from the arrears due by the Trea sury. The rights of the parties would, however, be reserved. With these deductions, the budget of receipts for 1850 is estimated at 1,147,029,274 reels, and the ordinary expenses at 1,146,907,536 real?, and extraordinary expenses at 80,000,000 reels. The Herald° of the 4th announces that the QUEEN had presented General N ARYAxE w ith the finest hor se in▪ her stable. Knowing that the animal was a fa vourite of her MAJESTY, the General at first declined to accept it, but the QUEEN insisted. The municipal elections in Madrid had terminated in • the complete triumph of the moderate party. It was positively asserted that the greater part of the army in Italy had been recalled, and it was even expected that it would reach Spain between the 15th And 20th. On the Sth, in reply to an attack :by OLOZAGA on the general policy of the Cabinet, NARVAEZ undertook the defence of the Government, saying that with regard to the omission of the opening speech from the Throne, it was often a puerile, and almost always a useless ceremony. With regard to Rome, Spain had only acted in conjunction with the other Catholic powers, and had not sent an army until the troops of the other powers had arrived in Italy. Spain, as a Catholic power, felt the necessity of hastening to the succour of the POPE, seeing that his throne was sur rounded with assassins (rodeado de asesinos). As to the expenses of the expedition, an account of them should be laid before the Cortes, when all the details were received by the Government. In the sitting of the 6th i\.TenvaEz made allusion to the late Ministerial crises, and said that as respon sible advisers to the QUEEN, they had felt themselves, compelled to act as they had done, particularly taking into consideration the actual circumstances of the country. "It has been said," added NARVAEZ, " that the Ministry has been weakened by these movements; but I do not hesitate to declare (and the country knows it to be the fact) that the Cabinet possesses ample power to fulfil the mission which has been confided to it by the QUEEN." After some further observations explanatory of the views of the Cabinet, he concluded by saying the basis of the policy of the Government would be an enlightened toleration to all, and a forgetfulness of party distinctions. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 6.—Three per Cents., 27k; Five per Cents., 111; both paper. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. A letter from Vienna of the sth says—" The news of the change of Ministry in Paris, which arrived here to-day, has produced a great sensation, without, however, causing any considerable fall in our funds. The Five per Cent. Metallics are 941 I ; Bank Shares, 1,196 to 1,200." . . . At Vienna, on the 4th, was celebrated the twenty fifth anniversary of the marriage of the Archduke FRANCIS and the Princess SOPHIA, father and mother of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. At four o'clock the Ministers and high dignitaries of the army, the latter headed by the Ban JELLACHICH, arrived at the palace and were admitted to the royal table. Of the civil authorities the Municipal Council of Vienna was alone admitted to present its congratulations. The Gazette of Vienna of the sth publishes a pro clamation from KOSSUTH, signed by himself as Go venor of Hungary, and which was posted up at Widdin on the 18th ult. KOSSUTH announces to the Hungarian refugees that, according to an official declaration of the PACHA, the SULTAN had resolved not to deliver up to the enemy any of those who wished to remain in Turkey ; but, on the con trary, to protect them and observe towards them all the duties of hospitality. He also holds out a hope to the officers of their being able to enter with their present rank into the Turkish army, without being obliged to change their religion. KOSSUTH concludes his proclamation by begging his compatriots to bear in mind that the principal thing now to be thought of is, how the emigrants can be provided for, whether by colonising or some other means. The Vienna Gazette announces officially that Hun garian refugees to the number of 3,17 1 , had left Widdin to avail themselves of the amnesty granted by the Austrian Government. Only 700 men have declined the offers of General HaussLAß and remained at Widdin. The Paris Constitutionnel has the following on the subject of the Austrian loan : The loan recently contracted in Austria begins to be realised. Seven millions of florins have been already paid into the Bank of Vienna ; but it is, nevertheless, thought that the wants of the service will necessitate a new loan. The plans of organizations are rapidly pro gressing in the Ministry of the Interior. Baron (ieh ringer is occupied in forming committees of the different branches of the service in Hungary. Galicia will, in a short time, also receive a new organization. The Go vernment has decided on repurchasing for the State all the railways of the empire. That from Milan to Venice will be reimbursed, capital and interest, in Four per Cent. Rentes. The negotiation on this subject will be ter minated in a few days. The railways in Hungary will be subjected to the same charges." We learn from the Osservatore Triestino of the 3d that the cholera has almost completely disappeared at Trieste. Only six new cases had been declared on the 2d - throughout the territory, none of which had occurred in the town itself. CENTRAL GERMANY. Some of the. journals of Cologne and other places appeared with black borders, as a sign of mourning, on the anniversary of the execution of ROBERT BLum. Religious and other ceremonies in his honour were to take place in Cologne, Berlin, Frank fort, &c. The Constitutional Assembly of the Free City of Frankfurt, on the 7th, decreed the abolition of the 1 penalty of death except in time of war, and in case of condemnation by a court• martial. The Diet of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg was opened on the 6th, on which occasion it was an nounced that the Grand DUKE had acceded to the alliance of the three Kings of 26th May. The National Gazette of Berlin states that the Provisional Federal Commission is to be installed at Frankfort on the 15th. PRUSSIA. The King of PRUSSIA left Berlin on the Bth for B reslau, to have an interview with the Emperor of AUSTRIA, who accompanies the Queen of Paussr.t. The convention between Prussia and the Grand Duchy of Baden relative to the re-organization of the Baden army is concluded. In consequence Prussia will augment her troops to the amount of the con• tingent of Baden. The expense of the increase will be borne by the duchy. HANOVER. The States of Hanover were opened on the Bth instant. M. BENNIGSEN, the President of the Coun cil, addressed them, congratulating the country on having been preserved from the anarchy which had prevailed in so many other kingdoms, and promising to lay before the States the negotiations relative to the general constitution, which: had been a subject of anxious consideration, but had not yet been finally arranged. MEIN IN GEN. Nov. s.—The Diet opened yesterday. The Speech from the Throne announced the definitive accession to the alliance, of the three Kings. A committee of five Members was appointed to investigate this question. _ _ . - In a private sitting of the Chambers an announce ment was made of the betrothment of the Hereditary PRINCE with the Princess CHARLOTTE of Prussia, the daughter of Prince ALBERT. The official announce • ment will not take place till the consent of the mother of the Princess, who is now in the Palatinate, shall have arrived.—Cologne Gazette. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, Nov. B.—A Cabinet Council was held yesterday, at which Prince FREDERICK pre sided. The PRINCE will start this evening for Berlin. The Ministers are now engaged in examining the various projects of the financial law for the Budget of 1850, which was presented in September last. _ _ • It is not yet known whether the Government will introduce any modification or not ; it is generally supposed that they will be withdrawn, and that laws of credit will be submitted for the regular course of the administrative service.—Dutch Papers. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Faderlandet asserts that the Danish Govern ment demands that the Cabinet of Prussia shall immediately dissolve the States of Schleswig-Hol stein, which are in direct opposition with the admi nistrative authority of Schleswig, in violation of the armistice. This dissolution ought to be enforced, even by the Prussian troops if necessary; the Prus sian Government is morally and legally responsible for all that takes place in Holstein. The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the 7th says— " In reply to the interrogatory of the Prussian Go vernment, the Danish Government has sent in a declara tion in writing, that it will not make any attempt what ever to re capture the Gefion. In consequence of this declaration the frigate will remain in the harbour of Eckenforde. The intelligence that the German fleet is to winter in the German harbours of the Baltic is fully confirmed. We learn that the harbour of Geste is con sidered sufficiently commodious to accommodate the greater part of the German navy. The principal Hano• verian surveyor has been sent by his Government to make the necessary arrangements for the works which will be required." A letter from Kiel, of the sth, says— " Yesterday deputations arrived here from 75 com munes of Schleswig Holstein, in order to submit the sentiments of the country to the National Assembly and to the Stadtholderschaft. They dtcided unanimously upon an address to the National Assembly, the main points of which are also to be submitted to the Stadt holderschaft. " The Schleswig-Holstein Government at Kiel has announced, by placards, that the department for the Interior has received the sanction of the Stadtholders chaft for the commencement of a branch line of the Altona-Kiel Railway, to run from Atona to Lubeck." PERSIA. Accounts have been received by letters from Tabriz of the 13th September that Teheran was in full in surrection; that the people, led on by an influential and fanatical Mollah, had even attacked the royal palace. GREECE A letter from Athens of the42Bth ult. states that there were upwards of 1,500 Italian refugees in different parts of Greece and the islands. They proposed to demand.a grant of land from the Chambers to establish a colony. The same letter states that the Princess BELGIOIOSO, who is in that city with her daughter, was at Athens without pecuniary resources. She had intended, the letter says, to go to Constan tinople to open a school as a means of livelihood ; but the Duchess of PLAISANCE, who is established at Athens, had persuaded her to postpone the design. TURKEY. On the 24th ult. the Odessa steamer arrived at Constantinople, and a special messenger brought dispatches to M. Moir on the state of things at St. Petersburgh. FouaD EFFENDI had been received by the EMPEROR with marked honours, and, in consi deration of his distinguished guest, his MAJESTY has not as yet made known his ultimatum. On that night the Dragoman of the British Legation was clo• seted for several hours with the Grand Vizier, and it is said that affairs, which were so aggravated a few days back, are likely to take a favourable turn, on account of the pretensions of the Emperor of RUSSIA having, in a certain sense, been slightly modified. On account of the holidays of the Porte, consequent on the great festival of Cororban Bairam, we have not much in the shape of news, although the Ministers of the Divan and foreign ambassadors are in constant com munication. 1 T A. L Y. Intelligence has been received from Rome to the 4th. It was at that time thought probable that the POPE might postpone his return to Rome for some time longer. The Piedmontese Gazette states from Rome, 31st ultimo, that the first military division of Pontifical troops has been placed under the command of General LEVAILLANT, who had the command•in-chief of the Papal troops before the Commission of Cardinals thought proper to entrust a Roman officer with it. The same paper says that the POPE intended to stay four days at Benevento, and thence to proceed to Monte Cassino. It was generally believed he would be at Rome on the 15th. . The Nazionale of Florence says that the French troops at Rome have taken up their quarters in the edifices belonging to the Jesuits, in order, as they say, to prevent the Reverend Fathers from claiming them on their return. _ _ The Chamber of Deputy of Turin, in its sitting of the. 6th, voted 400,000 f. for the cost of the funeral ceremonies in honour of CHARLES ALBERT. A conversation afterwards took place as to the propriety of a further adjournment of the discussion on the treaty of peace with Austria ; as the Commission intrusted with the investigation of the subject had but lately received further documents deserving of attention, the adjournment was agreed to. The King of SARDINIA has just conferred on M. de REISET, First Secretary of the French Legation!at Turin, the Cross of' Commander of the Order of St. Maurice and St. Lazarus. . M. MASSIMO D'Azaamo, Minister of Foreign Affairs at Turin, has addressed a letter to the Mayor of the commune of Azeglio, stating that he intends applying a sum of 16,000 fr., which have been awarded to him as chancery fees, for the conclusion of the peace with Austria, to some public purpose. He then asks the Mayor, whether the interest of the said 16,000 fr. added to what the commune could contri bute would suffice to found a free-school at Azeglio. He further places at the disposal of the inhabitants of Pobia a medal which he gained in the defence of Vicenza, to which an annual pension of 100 fr. is at tached. The inhabitants of Pobia will thus be enabled to pay a clergyman for their new church, according to a wish they had expressed to that effect. The Legge of Turin states that General GUGLIEMO PEPE had, on the sth, a private audience of King VICTOR EMMANUEL. The Tuscan Monitore publishes regulations con cerning the institution of a general audit-office. These regulations are to come into operation as soon as they shall have been discussed and approved of by the legislative assemblies. The Costituzionale of Florence publishes corres pondence from Bologna of the Ist, stating that Car dinal BOFONDI is to succeed Monsignor BEDINI in the office of the Legate of the province. The Opinione of the 6th says that General WIMPFFEN, while at Ferrara some time ago, declared to several persons that Austria looked upon the con duct of France at Rome in a favourable light. 11 Resorgimento of Turin contains a long state tnent of the persecution carried on at Parma by Duke CHARLES 111. Several hundreds of his sub jects have been flogged to death. No one is safe from arrest ; the simple declaration of a dragoon or of the guard alone is sufficient to lead to the denounced being dragged and tried before the council of war in the fortress, the trial being a mere mockery. These harsh proceedings the Resorgimento ascribes to the Duke himself, and exculpates Austria of all share in I them. HORSEMON GER-LANE. (THIS DAY.) A stranger passing along Horsemonger-lane to day, ar.d who was ignorant of the awful drama on the eve of its enaction, would imagine that some vulgar meant, such as a village fair or an exciting open air meeting, had drawn the vast concourse of people who stood in groups opposite the county gaol of Surrey, or sauntered up and down, gazing at the prison. There were hundreds of low woman, and men, and young people—as many women as men we may say; well-dressed persons of both sexes passing to and fro; and though the gaol wore its wonted aspect—though no hideous engine of death was erected over the porter's lodge, the usual place of. execution for the county of Surrey, fur the populace to feast and descant upon—though all was peace within, "the busy note of preparation" resounded outside the prison walls, for the erection at any point where a view could be obtained of the place where the execution is to take place, of scaffolding and seats, was being rapidly proceeded with. Some came, no doubt, to behold the scene who would not come to behold the actors. Indeed, the comfort of those who might be disposed to pay well for a sight of the public strangulation of the convicted man and wife seemed to be much cared for by the con s'ructors of the places of exhibition, for tarpauling was being raised to keep the cold away. At a few of the houses bills were exhibited, setting forth that seats might be had, and the windows of one or two were being completely cleaned, in order that the view might not be impeded by a speck of dirt. Large bills were exhibited at the stands to the same effect. Seats were being prepared on the top of one or two of the houses. It is due to the persons who were gathered this morning in the front of the gaol, to say that, as far as we could see, no inde cent levity marked their conduct. The awful punishment seemed to awe the mass into partial solemnity. Whether, however, when the shades of night have fallen upon the spot, and when the scaffold will be in busy preparation, riot of the most boisterous kind, mirth the most,unrestrained, and mimickry the most indecent, will not burst out, and make the place a modern Pandemoneun, we will not undertake to say, but will only express our fear that the great moral lesson to be inculcated to the populace in the morning will not restrain the orgies of the preceding night. It may be well to state, and the argument issome what forcible, that the erectors of the scaffolds referred to justify their proceedings, which have been stigma tised by many, on the ground that the execution of Manning and his wife on the top of the prison, in the seeing of,the public, is done for a great purpose—to show " God's revenge against murder," and to exhibit what will be the fate of those who shed human blood, and that the more facilities they offer to effect that purpose the better citizens, and truer and more practical moralists are they. IRELAND. THE CORK ELECTION. DUBT.IN, SUNDAY MouNING.—The nomination of candidates for the vacant seat in the city of Cork took place yesterday. John Colter, Esq., proposed Colonel Chatterton as the friend of British industry in preference to those of foreigners. The proposition was seconded by Captain Westropp. Mr. Alexander M'Carthy, the Whig-Repeal can didate, was proposed by Dr. Lyons, and seconded by R. Dowden (R). Mr. J. F. Maguire, the proprietor of the Cork Examiner, was proposed and seconded for the purpose of making a speech in favour of Mr. M'Carthy, which he did in due course. The addresses of the Gallant Colonel and of Mr. M'Carthy were listened to with much more attention than is usual at Irish borough elections. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of the Repealer. The polling is to commence on Tuesday morning. VISIT OP HMI ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT TO BIRMINGHAM. —THIS DAY.--His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, attended by his Equerry in Waiting, Lieut.-Col. the Hon. A.-Gordon, and accom panied by Secretary Sir George Grey, left Windsor Castle this morning shortl y after eight o'clock, and proceeded by special train to Watford station, and thence to Birmingham, in order to inspect the exhibi tion of arts and manufactures in that town. The Prince and suite are expected to return to the Castle at five o'clock from Birmingham. SWAFFBAM, NORFOLK.—The coursing at this place has just taken place, and drew together nearly 200 of the leading fashionables from all parts of the county. The greatest attractions, however, were the balls which took place on the nights of Tuesday and Thursday, aud, as usual, John Weippert's band was retained by the stewards. Al ON .10 Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were from 9,000 to 10,000 bales, of which speculators have taken 1,200 Egyptian. Among the transactions were 800 Pernatu and Maranhams, at 61d. to 61c1., and 1,700 Egyptian at 7d. to 71d. per lb. The market closed very firmly.—Railway Shares were steady. In Mark-lane to-day Wheat has advanced Is. per quarter, and other grain is firm. The advices from the Continent are not of a very inte resting character, and, in reference to commercial affairs, they are generally satisfactory. At Paris the feeling ap pears to be particularly favourable just now, as evidenced by the improvement in the funds, and they stand higher at present, we believe, than at any period since the Feb ruary revolution, and money is extremely easy at Paris. With the revival of confidence it is natural that capi talists and others should come forward more freely to seek some investment; but at the same time there is just solicitude expressed at the condition of the national finances, and the means that must be resorted to for bringing about something like equilibrium between the income and expenditure. The quotation for Austrian Bonds at Frankfort on the Bth inst. was 87, and at Vienna on the 7th inst. the Metallics were 93,i, and the rate of Exchange on Lon don was 10: 51. The Berlin price of the Three-and-a- Half per Cent. Prussian Stock was 88/. At Amster dam the Funds were firmer on Saturday, and business was tolerably animated, the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 531 to 7-16. It is probable that we should have heard something of the Niagara steamer from the United States, but that she comes home under the disadvantage of one wheel only being serviceable. The following is an extract from a statement in Aris' Birmingham Gazette of to-day concerning the Stafford shire iron trade:— " In the early part of the fortnight the disposition to give way noticed in our last account of this trade con siderably increased, and purchases of bar iron were known to be made at 5/. 10s.,Swith usual discounts for cash payments ; but during the last week a better feeling has again prevailed, induced in some degree per. haps by the returns of the Board of Trade, which show a large increase of exports for the month of October in wrought iron, as well as in all the various hardware manufactures our district. This is, however, not sup ported by any accumulation of orders here, or any pro spect of any immediate demand ; while the Liverpool market is stated to be in a very languishing condition, and the prices of Welsh iron unsteady. Scotch iron, also, is said to be rather receding, with the make considerably beyond the demand. It is, therefore, still a matter of speculation what course events may take, whether the lost ground will be recovered, or what may be the result of anther week or another month. Under these circumstances little business is doing, both buyers and sellers being unwilling to enter into extensive engagements." The English; Funds have been very steady, but have not advanced upon the strength of the rise at Paris. We shall have the account adjusted on Wednesday, and it appears to be the more general impression that the Bears have operated more extensively than their op ponents, and consequently will have to make arrange. ments to close their speculations. If such be the case, an advance is certain, for with the abundance of money stock is not likely to be plentiful; and, indeed, this morning Consols for transfer have realised 93/, whereas for Wednesday they have not been higher than 931. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per ;Cents. have been quoted 921 4, and the Three per Cents. 914 to 92. The premium. on Exchequer-bills continues firm at 455. to 485., -and on India Bonds at 81s. to:B4s. In the Foreign Market there is not„much life, but the quotations have been well supported. Mexican Bonds are 261 1. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 161, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 331 to I. Buenos Ayres Bonds have been quoted 401, Cbilian Three per Cents. 55, and Equador 31. Dutch Four per Cents. have been at 82. The Railway Share Market is very firm, and some of the old lines are higher again. There is, however, not much doing. It deserves to be repeated, for general information, that although Wednesday will be the settling day for Con sols and Bank and India Stocks, the differences will not be payable until Friday; and that the Share settlement will take placelon Wednesday also, though no Shares:will be:publicly bought in, if not delivered, until fourteen days from Thursday. The secretary of the Orleans, Tours and Bordeaux Railway has written to contradict the report of an ,in tended immediate call. Bainsa FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.
