FUND FOR PB,OMOTING FEMALE EMIGRATION. The sympathies of the public have recently been interested by de tailed accounts of the condition of the poor, and especially of the suf ferings f some of those who are among the most helpless of their sex—the werking women of the country. In the metropolis alone, 33,500 women are engaged In the single business of apparel 4naking. It is estimated that 28,500 of them are ander 20 years of age, and that of these a large portion are subsisting, or attempting to subsist, on sums varying from 434 d. to 2 3 ¢d. a day. Throughout Great Britain the male population is greatly outnum bered by the female. By the census of 1841 it appeared that there were 320,000 mere women than men, and so great has been the amount of male emigration during the last nine years, that the ex uss of females may be fairly supposed to have reached half a million. In the Brlt'sh Colonies, on the other hand, the inequality is re versed : in 1847 there were in New South Wales only 41,000 females to 83,000 males; in South Austra la only 13,000 females to 17,000 males. Similar disproportion exists in Van Diemen's Land and other Colonial dependencies. It is proposed to take measures with a view to abate this double vil ; to supply the Colonies with the population which is the crying want of society there, and at the same time to redress this increas ng grievance of the mother country, to rescue from penury and mi sery those who emigrate, and, by diminishing the unnatural excess of female labour, to better the condition of those who remain. With these views the following Noblemen and Gentlemen have formed themselves into a COMMITTEE. The Right Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT, M.P., Chairman. The Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P.

It is proposed to take immediate measuree for promoting Emigra tion t: the Brßisli Colonies on an extensive scale. Ass'etanee will, in the first instance, be extended to the class which, as the poorest and most helpless, has a reasonable claim to early consideration—the needlewomen and slop-workers. Oilices will be immediately opened, at which such parties may re gister their applications. Care will b taken to select such persons only as are well recom mended, and whose age and habits resler them fit subjects for emi- gra t ion. Such arrangements will be made as will secure for them every pos,ibla safeguard and care during the passage out. Communica tions will be opened with the colonies, with a view to the proper re ception of the emigrants on their arriv,l; for their temporary as sistance, aed to afford them facilities for placing themselves in respectable positions. The amount of the assistance, and the form in which it is to be rendered to the emigrants, whether that assistance shall be by way of gift or loan, or both, must depend upon the amount of contribu tions t.t the disposal of the committee, and be necessarily regulated by the circumstances of each case. A vast undertaking is proposed, a great and growing evil Is to be met an I remedied, vigorous action and large means are required ; but the Committee look with confidence to the public for support, doub ing not that in a land abounding with wealth, and in which there is a self-denying and a Christian spirit, means will be provided for accomplishing so great an end. They venture to remind the nation of the great arid grievous affi ction which, by the Providenek of God, they have just escaped, and they urge upon them the great duty of showing their gratitude to their Divine Benefactor by assisting, the moat helpless and needy of his creatures. Donations may, if it be desired, be paid in two, three, or four an anal instalments. The following hankers will receive money for the fund In the City. At the West-end. Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co. Messrs. Mares, Fleet-street. Messrs. Glyn and Co. Messrs. Courts and Co. ' Strand. Messrs. Jones Loyd a , d Co. Messrs. Ransom and Co., Pall- Messrs. Masterman and Cs. mall.

WIND S.NV.—dull rainy weather. admitted, moreover, in the columns of the reactionary newspapers of London, that the Pragmatic Sanction I in no respect altered the position in which Hungary stood towards its imcerial neighbour. In testimony of this it is only necessary to remark upon the cir cumstance, that even subsequently to that memorable treaty the Austrian Emperors have invariably ap plied to the Hungarian Diet for supplies to enable the Cabinet of Vienna to carry on their wars, alter natively, with one or other of the different Powers of Europe. As an evidence, in like manner, of the jealousy with which this isolation of the regal dig nity over the Hungarians is regarded by the Magyars themselves, it has been instanced by Mr. PAGET, in his work upon the great country bordering the Danube, that even in apparently the most trivial points of ceremonial etiquette, the members of the Hungarian Diet have always been exquisitely chary _ ... . . of affording to the Viennese Camarilla any one inci- dent which they might afterwards pervert into a precedent. For example, he has adduced, in illus. tration of this, the circumstance which first arrested his attention on reaching Presburg, namely, the dis- cussion then being carried on in the Diet for the determination whether the title of the new Emperor should be that of FERDINAND I. or FERDINAND V. of Hungary, he being at the moment of his accession to the imperial throne FERDINAND V. of Austria. After a prolonged debate, he observes that it was ultimately ..decided by the majority of the Diet that, in spite of the wishes of the Court party to the contrary, the title of the new Sovereign should be that of King FERDINAND I. of Hungary ; so punctilious have the people of that country shown themselves during the whole of their career in the retention of every tittle, token, or form of their national independence. Seeing that admissions are already making in this manner, on the part of the reactionary newspapers of England, as to the distinction necessary to be drawn between the powers of the two diadems even when combined upon the same head—which they cannot be in the person of the young Emperor FRANCIS JosEru, without a direct infraction of the Hungarian constitution—we are sanguine that when a little of the heats of factious animosities and predilections have cooled down the judgment of these same journalists ' may become equally rational in its consideration of the whole of the recent movement. By the Pragmatic Sanction it was guaranteed that the descendants of CHARLES, JOSEPH, and LEOPOLD " jurta stabilitatum primogeniture ordinem" should posse's the crowns of Austria, of Ilungary and its dependencies. Accord ing to that stipulation alone FRANCIS JOSEPH has no c'aim whatever to be regarded as the King of the Hungarians. It is the fortune, however, of the Red Emre !tort to be surrounded by many other obstecles to the attainment of that coveted distinction. Until the brow of the acknowledged heir to the diadem has been girdled by the crown of ST. STEPHEN, until the ceremonies of' coronation have been performed, until the oath of allegiance to the Hungarian Constitution has been pronounced, until the magitates and representatives of the race of the Magyars have given the customary pledges of their loyalty, the man is not King of Hungary ; he is only a claimant to that supreme rank in the Hungarian Com monwealth. Now it is, of course, sufficiently notorious that FRANCIS JOSEPH is not merely without any right to the royal diadem, not coining to it according to the direct descent by the right of primogeniture, but that he has never been invested with the purple in the cathedral at Presburg, and that the crown of ST. STEPHEN, in fact, is removed out of the reach of his government; so that the requisite ceremony of coro nation cannot be attempted by the ally of the AUTOCRAT. To say that he has never pronounced the oath of allegiance to the Hungarian Constitution is as unnecessary as it would be to declare that, if that asseveration were articulated by his lips, it would he credited by any man not confined ithout an asylum of lunatics. Equally no torious is it that so far from the mag nates and commons of Hungary having sworn obedience to the Pretender, they have protested against his insolent advances by words and, by arms, by decrees pronounced in the Diet and by pitched battles fought in the valleys and on the mountains. For all these reasons, therefore, the student of European history cannot but regard the Red EM PEROR of the Austrians as an usurper on the throne of Hungary—a prince possessed of one only right to the sceptre of the Magyars—the right of conquest. As conqueror, or rather as the ally of a conqueror and a traitor—the traitor GEORGE!' and the conqueror PASKEWITCH, the chief of the lieutenants of the Russian AUTOCRAT—FRANCIS JOSEPH has acquired the dominion of the land of the Danube. By fraud, by treachery, by lying and massacre, by pillage and arson, by cruelty and ferocity, the Red EMPEROR has pushed forward to the throne of the hero-King ST. STEPHEN. He has grasped the sceptre, held by so many noble and august potentates, with a hand incarnadined by his butcheries ; he has donned the semblance of the Hungarian diadem while his features are still reeking with the evil passions, while his whole counte nance is still overshadowed with the gloom of his still unsatisfied vengeance. The dais upon which he has raised his chair of state is nothing less than the elevation of the scaffold ; the lictors preceding him as he ‘ traverses the country of his invasion are turnkeys and headsmen : the only benefaction bestowed by him upon the land just subjected tohis sinister dominion is that of having enriched its soil with the heart's blood of its patriotic children. This is the precocious tyrant before whom the widows of Hungary are required to bend the knee in homage. The scourger of women is greeted as prince of chivalry. With lIAYIAu for his CARRIER and But la for his Nantes, he expects the evil disposed among the population to be removed—reaped down by the blade of the guillotine, beaten down to the dust by the leaden hail-storms of musketry. If he is to be viewed as King of HUNGARY, he is King by the grace of the guillotine! The infamy of his prema ture achievements has doomed him to renown amongst the princes of this generation—but his re nown is that of a despot, great only in his atrocities, As CHARLES ALBERT was the most heroic, as NICHOLAS is the most inexorable, as FREDERICK WILLIAM is the most faithless, and as Pius is the most unfortunate, so is FRANCIS JOSEPH, the Red Emperor of Austria, the most infamous and detest able. Hence it is that in our estimation the period of his dominion over the Hungarians must prove only marvel lously evanescent ; for twelve millions of heroes can not be so easily brought under a permanent subjuga tion even by the united agencies of perfidy, brute force, and ruthlessness. The day of retribution may be delayed, but its ultimate arrival is inevitable. The approach of Christmas is invariably heralded by two metropolitan exhibitions of no ordinary in terest to agriculturists—the Smithfield Club Show of fat cattle and farming implements, held at the Bazaar, King-street, Portman-square; and the annual meet ing of sturdy yeomen, at No. 17, Old Bond-street. These bucolic gatherings ntay be regarded as affording the best illustrations of the " sayings and doings " of those engaged in the cultivation of the soil throughout the entire coun try. The one furnishes a practical proof of the progress of agricultural pursuits, and of the great improvement that has been effected in the breeding and fattening of stock, no unimportant part of the farmer's business. The other shows the feeling en tertain6d, by the farmers themselves as to their actual state and condition. Nothing could be more propi tious than the former, or more gloomy than the latter. Never was there a finer show of stock of every description, both in quantity and in quality, than at the bazaar. Oxen and steers, cows and heifers, of the most approved breeds, long-horned and short-horned, Ayrshires, Devons, Herefords, and Galloways, were ranged together in goodly numbers and rich unc tuosity, enjoying their short-lived triumphs before they should go the way of all fat cattle by being consigned to the butcher's axe, and exciting savoury anticipations in the minds of epicures, who revelled in imagination on luscious sirloins or melting ribs. The sheep pens were not of inferior at- 1 traction. Leicesters and Southdowns, long wools (not Leicesters) and short wools (not South downs), and cross breeds afforded unequivocal evidence that the taste for mutton has not de parted from the shores of merry England, and that haunch or saddle IN ill still find willing consumers in the British metropolis. The swine, too, should not be overlooked or neglected. Every variety of the' animal which the negro considered the only "real gentleman " was forthcoming ; while, together with these, were clod crushers, scarifiers, bruisers, ploughs, harrows, &c., &e., every implement in fact that could be required to develop the ut►nost resources of the laud, and to make the soil give forth its produce, in luxuriant abundance. To judge from the entire proceedings, English yeomen have but little to fear from foreign competition. Every adjunct that could be required or Wished for is of easy attainment, and with such means at their disposal, and the best market in the world at their very thresholds, the farmers have only them selves to blame if they do not reap the legitimate rewards of their enterprise and industry. The proceedings et 17, Old 13cnd street, however. afforded a lamentable contrast to those at King• street ; the aspects of the one were as dark and lowering as the other were cheering and auspicious. We confess that we awaited with some curiosity the demonstrations that would be made at what may be considered the central agricultural society of England, attended by representatives from every district. The divisions and differences that exist among the Protectionists have been perceptible to the most superficial observer. At Bromley, Reigate, and a score of other localities the complete ruin of the country, and the utter inutility of any attempts to avert or retard a general bankruptcy, were loudly proclaimed. No thing but an immediate dissolution of Parliament, an a p peal to the country, a total change of the national policy, and the resuscitation of the principle of ma ; napoly, when all classes paid tribute to the territo rial aristocracy, could avert the decline and fall of Britain's glory. At Newport Pagnel, on the con trary, the assembled farmers, under the guidance and direction of their eloquent and accomplished repre sentative, were 'prepared to direct their exertions for the attainment of practicable alterations. The aboli tion or modification of the local burdens, the estab lishment of a real sinking fund, the ways and means being provided by additional duties on foreign pro ductions, would afford :very acceptable and sub stantial relief. A still more manly tone was adopted at the recent meeting at Cirencester; there was a spirit of self-reliance and confidence worthy of the utmost praise. The farmers were told in what manner they might meet the pressure of the times, with the means at their disposal ; that by employing additional labour they night, at the same time, in crease the produce of their lanes and diminish the poor-rates, and by raising double crops realise better profits, with wheat at 10/ per load, than formerly when the same quantity could be sold at 15/. It remained, then, to be seen which of these sec tions of the agricultural party would obtain the majority at the council of the " Society for the Promotion of Agriculture and British Industry ;" and among the orators that might subse quently address the meeting, there was but little expectation that the salutary example afforded at Cirencester would be followed, but some doubts might be entertained as to the fate of the propositions submitted by the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire ; whether, in fact, his leadership of the party would be accepted or repudiated. That point has been settled. Mr. DIERAELI'S policy has been effectually rejected by chairman, council, and members of the society. It is true that the language of compliment was used towards the Hon. Gentleman, but the result was no less decisive. They could not afford to throw over board incomparably the most talented member of their party—the only man qualified to exhibit the sophisms of Protection in a favourable light. The sharp blows were, therefore, accompanied by honeyed words ; he was patted on the head and called a good boy, while his suggestions were disposed of in the most summary and uncere monious manner by peer and peasant. After such treatment can Mr. DISRAELI longer remain among the party ? Can he waste his unques• tionable powers in favour of such ungrateful and rebellious followers ? The old distich bath it that " Who drives fat cattle Should himself be fat,* and the Protectionist leader must exhibit a stolidity and obstinacy suited to the mass. Mr. DISRAELI iS too keen sighted and intelligent, too acute and brilliant for the Protectionists. He should abandon their cause and apply his powerful intellect to the service of the community in general. One of the orators (a Mr. STONE) was exceedingly ira'e at the unceremonious manner in which Dr. BIiCALAND spoke of the agriculturists, when he described them as being "stupid as their own oxen." Whatever might be the opinion of the speaker, we believe that it is very generally admitted throughout the country that there is no better judge of " Stones" of every description than that eminent geologist, and that his decision on that " brilliant specimen" and his associates was not so great a mistake as the orator might fondly suppose. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The debate on the re-imposition of the duty on potable liquors was resumed in the National Assem bly on Thursday, by M. DE MONTALEMBERT, who spoke in favour of the re-imposition of the tax. At the conclusion of his speech the debate was again adjourned. Previous to the commencement of the adjourned debate, M. PARtstr, Minister of Public Instruction, ascended the tribune, and deposited on the table a project of law on primary instruction. The Govern ment, he said, was most anxious to propagate that in struction, but it thought that the personnel of the masters should be speedily reformed. Functionaries of the State, they owed an account of their mission to the Minister in whose jurisdiction they were placed. Übe clauses referring to them had been ex tracted from the Bill on secondary instruction which the Assembly had sent a moath ago to the Council of State. That examination was nearly termi nated, but the time its discussion would require rendered it imperative for him to submit to the As sembly several transitory measures respecting tho,c masters, which it was urgent to adopt in order to obviate the evils complained of. One of the articles provided that the primary master dismissed from the functions should not be permitted to open a school in the district where he had exercised them.—(Loud murmurs on the Left.) Primary instruction is to be placed under the surveillance of the Prefects,—(Fresh murmurs on the same side; " And of the gendarmes," exclaimed several Members." Here M. Dupin, addressing the Left, said to them, "The discussion has not yet commenced, and you are doing more for the adoption of the Bill then you are aware of." " The Prefect," continued the Minister," will choose the primary instructors from among the laymen or the members of the religious associations recognized by the State, after consulting:the Municipal Council of the district."--(Murmurs on the Left, applause on the Right. Voices from the Montague--" Vive Henry V.!" " Vivent lea Jesuites !") When the Minister bad concluded, _ _ M. Pascal Duprat combated the immediate discus sion of this provisional Bill, and demanded that it be referred to the Council of State, which, he understood, had modified the project in the liberal sense of the Bill prepared by M. Guizot in 1838. M. Parieu replied that the Council of State had adopted the principles laid down by the Cabinet, as the Assembly would perceive in a few days. After a few words from M. Beaune, the Assembly, on being consulted, decided the question of the urgency of the discussion by a very large majority. A debate then ensued on the mode of disposing of the Bill. Some proposed to refer it to the former Committee on Public Instruction, and others to the bureaux. M. Bourzat moved that it be referred to the Pope. —(Laughter.) After hearing MM. Lherbette, Parieu, and St. Hilaire, the Assembly referred the Bill to the former Committee. The Moniteur contradicts the rumour that was cir culated on Thursday in the Asst mbly, of M.M. FER DINAND BARROT and Dumas being about to quit the Ministry. The Evenensent says—" In consequence of the experiment made on the 11 th by the committee cf the Boulogne itailroad, the Minister of Finances has resolved to send an inspector of finances to Boulogne and Calais, to ascertain the means of accelerating the mail service between France and England." The Constitutionnel announces the appointment of M. DE PERSIGNY as Minister to Berlin, and of General CASTELBAJAC as Minister to St. Petersburgh. General lIERBELLON has sent three standards, taken at Zaatcha, to Paris. They are to be deposited in the Church of the Invalides. A grand dinner was given on Wednesday to Colonel FORESTIER, in honour of his acquittal by the High Court of Versailles, and a sword of honour was presented to him. During the dinner a commissary of police presented himself, and announced, in the name of the Prefect, that he would not suffer any speeches of a political kind to be delivered. The persons present submitted, after having protested against the act of the authorities.

Some of the most virulent opponents of the Magyars are even at this early pericd evincing a disposition to diminish the violence of their aspersions, and are actually recognising justice and reason in what they had up to the present moment stigmatized as a flagrant and unjustifiable rebellion. Within the pre sent week indeed it has been actually confessed by one of the principal among our morning Contempo raries, that in their estimation, the royal diadem of Hungary and the imperial diadem of Austria have never been united, although they have been settled upon the same dynasty. The acknowledgment is sufficiently significant : inasmuch as it is a virtual recognition of the rights of the Btagyars to vindicate their national independence, especially at a p er i o d when that independence is violated by shameful perfidies, and threatened openly with yet greater en croachments. Upon the settlement of the difficulty the merits of the question are dependant. For if it be demons rated beyond denial that the crown of the Hungarian monarchy has throughout past centuries emwspr r eil totally apart from the crown of the Austrian 'Pt is evident that any assumption of authority t . . - , - 7 7 .- pa of the latter Government in its relations Ik i , ‘ , l: ‘: . pr. : : .: !i rik , tl; , mer , is an arro g a n t p re t ens i on suc h as no submit to without an e ff or t t o re p e l ?.t,„.., _ 1 - i ftk e e .. e _ by the force of their indignation.

The Bolsa was closed on the Bth. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES, HANO VER. Upon the Bth instant the Second Hanoverian Chamber unanimously voted an address of condolence to the KING upon the demise of her late Majesty the QUEEN DOWAGER. The motion was made by M. BEUREN, and in the following terms, which, not only from their quaintness, but from their kindly and grateful sentiments, merit translation : " Mr. President,—Joys shared are double joys ! Grief shared is half relieved ! This consideration in duced the loyal Chambers of the Monarchy, which is united with its noble sovf reign house, to depose, upon s r.cent occasion (birth of a princess), its vows for blessings upon the cradle of a dear suck ling (aiuglings) of our royal race. This Consi deration, in my opinion, which justly prescribes to us representatives the duty of deposing, in like unity, a cypress wreath upon the grave of a Queen of this lane', with whose memory so many dear remem brances and ties of love are interwoven—upon the grave of the widow of that King, William IV., to whom Hanover owes her Magna Charts, the basis of her con• stttutional liberty, on which we are now building— upon the grave of a royal lady, whose high virtues were previously proclaimed in the warmest terms by the Chambers, upon the occasion of an addrf as of condolence on the 28th June, 1837—virtues which the elevated pages of history will now immortalize, whilst the tears of the poor and oppressed in her immediate vicinity will fall on her ashes as the holiest of all blessings that can be offered as a testimony to the beneficent actions of—in the utmost sense of the word—a most exalted lady." AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The last act of Baron HATNAU i 3 the acquital of all the employes who served the Hungarian Govern- ment from the Bth of October, 184$, to the sth of January, the day on which Prince WINDISCHGRATZ entEred Pesth. They are not held amenable for their acts during that period, unless crimes can be alleged against them. The only investigation of their con duct that will take place will bear upon the space of time dated from the Bth of January, of which they must give an account. _ _ _ Accounts from Vienna of the 10th do not confirm the rumours which were in circulation es to the order said to have been given to the Austrian troops to enter Saxony. PRUSSIA. The Paris journal the Ordre, the organ of M. ODILLON BABRoT, declares that there is no probabi lity of any war arising between Austria and Prussia on the German ¶uestion. " The armament:, are not made in contemplation'of a general war," say s the Ordre, " they are raised for another sort of object, and are directed against Parliaments." This journal says—" This campaign will be anti parliamentary. The army of Bohemia is, as all the world knows, destined for Saxony ; the army of the Tyrol, is destined for Wurtemburg. The Bavarian troops, being supported by the regiments of the Tyrol, will be able to keep down Franconia and Swabia, and as for i the rest of Germany, the arm of Prussia will suffice." HOLLAND. THE HAGUE.—Among the various projects of law lately submitted to the Chambers by the Minister of Finance, one of the most important is that of the navigation laws. By this project "The transit and navigation dues upon the Rhine are to be abolished, and the differential duties on colonial trade abro gated. All flags, on condition of reciprocity, are to be placed on an equal footing with the Netherlands flag. Premiums and other privileges hitherto en joyed by the Netherlands fl to be abolished; the coasting trade of the colonies is, however, reserved to the national flag alone. Shi?s of every nation, which act upon the system of reciprocity, shall not pay higher dues of any kind in the Netherlands har bours than is paid by Netherlands vessels; and vessels bui.t abroad may obtain home charters." If this project of law be passed, a gigantic stride will have been taken on the road to free trade, and would greatly diminish the incessant and frequently unjust reproaches now imputed to the Dutch colonial trading system.—Allgemeine Zeitung. LUXEMBURGH. LUXERIBURGH, DEC. 7.—Next week the Chambers will have to pass their judgment respecting the accession of the grand duchy to the federative state. It will likewise come to a decision, on the proposition of some of its memhers, as to whether the State shall charge itself with the guaranteeing an interest of 8 per cent. upon a capital of 6,000,000, for making Luxem burgh enter into the labyrinth of railways. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. COPENHAGEN, DEC. B.—The elections for the Second Chamber tortninftted on the ith. They produced a great agitation in the i apitil—an extraordinary sensation—to which we are not at all accustomed here. Since the revolution in the two Duchies the real interest ih Denmark is considered by one party to be the preservation of the whole of Schleswig, while others would be content with retaining the northern part, where the Danish language and Danish customs have ever prevailed. 'The two parties who split upon this ques tion have energetically disputed for victory through the electors, the former party, at the head of which is the present Ministry, have carried the day and turned all their competitors out of the electoral urn. Thus the party which wishes to retain the whole of Schleswig, and, according to the pro gramme issued, will not tolerate the severance of even a single village, will have a great majority in the Chambers. 'Whether, therefore, the negotia tions for peace be carried on at Berlin, at Copenhagen, or upon neutral ground, it may be regarded as certain that the proposition which has been so often canvassed, the division of Schleswig, is no longer admissible ; but the basis will be founded upon the plan that Denmark shall re tain possession of the entire province intact. A Copenhagen correspondent of the German Re form denies that the Danish Government has acceded to the proposition of the appointment of Danish end Schleswig-Holstein umpires, and declares that no , thing vs hatever has yet been submitted to the KING respecting the direct negotiations already commenced between the KING and the Stadtholdership, except that the KING has replied to the conciliatory letter of Messrs. Iteverimow and BISSELER in an equally con ciliatory tone. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, DEC. 14. The Right 11)0. Lord John Russell arrived here from London by the 2 r.m. train, and embarked from Southampton Docks on board her Majesty's steamer Fairy, Commander Crispin, R.N., for Osborne. The Premier hkeivise arrived here on Thursday week last, and embarked in a similar mar ner fur the island. APOTHECARIES• HALL—Names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs day, the 13th of llccember:—Edward Minder; Sturley Payne, Bury St. Edmunri's; Robert Gething, Newport, Monmouthshire; William Harrison, Bedford. ITALY. 'llto following letter from Rome of the 6th of December is published by the Paris Constiktionnel:— " I have just received a very important piece of news, which I hasten to transmit to you. The Marquis Sa chetti, who was to have sent this week to Naples a quantity of decorations which the Pope has ordered, has just received directions not to do so. A person, gene rally well-informed of what is going on, has just toad me in a positive manner that his Iluliness is expected here towards the end of next week, or the beginning of the week following. At an early hour this morning the large state carriage of the Pope was taken to the Vatican. Judge of the joy of Rome and of the Ca tholic world if this news of his coming beck turns out to be true ! We shall then see the horizon clear, and our hearts will open to some hope. The Pope once more at Rome, the European question will be hall solved, and wo may hope that everything will be ter minated in a pacific manner. You are aware that General Rostolon has received from the Holy Father the Grand Cross of the Ordina Piano, and that his side-de camp has also been decorated. It is stated that at the first non-official interview of General Baraguay hers the Pope asked him if he were married. The General replyieg in the affirmative, his Holiness totk frem seercery four precious chaplets which had b: en consecrated by himself, and gave thtm to the General fur his family. General Baraguay has not yet returnel to Re-me, but is expected evury day. M. de Corcelles, it is said, will come wiLla him." The Statuto of Florence of the 1511 states, how ever, that the POPE has declared to General BARRA GUAY D'HILLIERS, that he cannot return to Rome for the present, and the Paris Siecle adds that the reason is that he has no funds. General 13AnnAsukr D'lliL- LiEns was still at Portici. The Courrier des Alpes of the 11th announces the election of constitutional deputies to the Piedmontese Chamber by large majorities at Pont-Beauvoison, Albertville, and Annemasse. The Risorgimento of Turin of the 10th gives the following constitutional elections at Turin :—Cavour, Balbo, Galvagno, Pinelli, and Novelli. The President of the Council M. d'Azsglio has been elected at Strambino, General Dabormida at Avigliana, and Terenzio amiani at Pinerolo. Of the Democratic party, we notice the names of Josti, Meliana, and Ratazzi. A letter from Mi:an of the 4th contradicts the rumour of the resignation of ItADETZKY. In Naples the obscurantists are carrying every thing with a high hand ; the education of the people is given over exclusively to the priests. The Minister of Public Instrucion of Naples has issued a decree, dated the 30th ult , to regulate the re!igious discipline of the students of the cJllegeg and univenities. By this decree a commission of four ecclesiastics i 5 instituted to superintend the conduct of the students. Every student to belong to some religious congregation or society (Congregazione di Spirit,* No pern•ission of residence will be granted to a student unless he produces a cer tificate from one of the said congregations. lie is bound to attend the congregation on every holiday, and every month a certificate of at tenderce is delivered to him by the Prefect. The student is bound to present once a month to the congregation a certificate proving that he has followed the lessons of a master approved by the Minister of Public Inetruction. No stud:frit can obtain acade mical degrees unless he has attended a congregation for at least eight months. The same period of at tendance is required for every successive degree. The directors of institutes are bound to take their pupils above ten years old to one of the congregations, and to present once a month to the commission a certifi cate of attendance. The day-scholars frequenting the Lyceums and private schools are subject to the same obligations. - _ - LAW IN TELLIGENCE. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY. The Lord Chief Justice Wilde and a special jury were occupied during the whole of the morning at Guild hall in trying the cause of Whitfield and others v. Aland, which involved no materials to justify a detailed r. , port, the sole question being whether a bankrupt had given a fraudulent preference to some of his creditors. SPORTIN G INTELLIGENCE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 4,000 bales, including 500 American on speculation. The mßrket was quiet, but firm at previous rates. The sales ccmpriaed 3,500 American, 250 Pernam and Ma ranham, at 6ii. to qd., and 200 Surat at 4-id. to 44 1. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat, and prices had a downward tendency. The weekly statement to the Bth inst. of the Bank of England liabilities and assets is again well worthy of attentien. The accumulation of assets in nearly every shape, the steady addition to the public or treasury account, the falling iff in circulation, and the accumula tion of the precious metals, are all circumstances that presage an important future in the Money Market, unless some very unexpected change occurs. The com• parison of the present with the previous return is as under: Notes law. d Increase 29,983,955 ... 263,760 ... 3,108,687 Increase 2 064 Public Deposits ..• 1111. ... 8,931,249 Increase ••• 1111. ... 468,594 Other Deposits 9,519,954 Increase 129,948 Seven Day and other Bills 1,093,531 Increase ... 11,104 Goverment Securities ... .. no alteration Other Securities ... 10,016,316 Increase 1111. 1111. a. 246,126 Notes ... 12,062,290 Increase . . 368,960 Bullion 16 ; 772,798 Increese 260384 Addeo Circulation 1111. 1111. 17,921,665 Decrease ... 105,200 The Foreign Exchanges were quoted yesterday after neon for 90 (la) s' bills as follows:—Paris 25 60 to 62k Antwerp 12 2 to 2i, Amsterdam 12 2 to 2i, llamburgh 13 131,- to t e and Trieste 10 14 to 16. The rate on llamburgh was steady as compared with the previous post-da), but the quotations on the other cities could scarcely be called so good. It will have been observed by the last weekly railway returns that they contrast unfavourably on the whole with the corresponding period of 1848, the North- Western, Caledonian, and South-Eastern being instances to the contrary among what may be termed the great lines. The Brighton stands well, but is nevertheless a shade under this time last yesr, and the South-Eastern, thanks, ne doubt, to its important Chatham branch, in creased about 900/. The worst exhibit is that of the York end Beraick, and of the York and North Midland, the deficiency upon a much smaller total receipt being far greater then in the Midland, and competition probably has much to en with this. The Scotch lines generally are doing pretty well, and the Great Southern end Western of Ireland has a largely increased taking. though the opening of fifty eight additional miles ales be taken into account. 'the Amiens and Boulogne o the same mileage took 56/. more. The Exports of the precious metals from London during the week ending Thursday last, were very :large, comprising 4,000 ounces of gold, in dust and bars, to Dunkirk, and 612 to Rotterdam. Also upwards of 360,000 ounces in silver to France, Holland, Belgium, and the lonian Isles. The accounts recired from Manchester this morning state that business was good, but at Leeds the market was dull. It has been determined by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to send as- istance to the homeward bound trade detained in the chops of the channel. The Funds are without any particular alteration this morning, and not much is doing. Consols 968 to ex dividend. New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. 971- to 94. Exchequer-bills 51s to 54s premium.
