tion now to open the Post•office, yet it is impossible to say what may he intended a few years hence if this measure be persevered in, because it might then be urged that such a step would only be an extension of the principle which had already been sanctioned by her Majesty's Government. I must state, in illustra tion, one point which is most interesting to me. My brethren of the clergy who are acting as Ministers in poor districts have a strong opinion upon this subject, because while they feel it their duty to enforce upon their poorer brethren —and not without success—the sacredness of the duty which binds them to observe the Lord's-day, and to press upon them the advantages, temporal as well as spiritual, which will result from such an observ ance, they will henceforth be inevitably met by this argument—how can you ask us to desist from pur suits which are partly remunerative and partly sources of recreation, when we see the Government increasine , labour in the public establishments on Sun day ? I ° do not say that is an argument which cannot be met, but it is a very plausible one, and one which I fear will be extensively used. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—With respect to the delivery of letters on Sunday, no person can be more opposed to it than myself, and to prevent any thing of the kind being resorted to, express orders have been sent to all the country post offices that letters addressed to London should not be sent forward to London. There will, therefore, be no temptation to deliver letters arising from this measure ; and the Bishop and other gentlemen will see that if afterwards it should be resolved to have a delivery of letters on the Sunday, it will not only lead to an increased labour in London, but also to an increased labour in the country on Saturday nights. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I wish to say a few words on this subject. The Lord Mayor and Mr. Masterman have both talked as if this mea sure would increase the revenue. Now I beg to say it will not make the slightest difference one way or the other. • The LORD MAYOR—I said if it should be supposed to increase the revenue. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—It will not increase the revenue either by the one system or the other—it was not treated as a question of revenue, but :imply with a view to diminish Sunday labour. In answer to the Bishop of London, I must say it is my full belief and conviction that the effect of this measure will be a considerable diminution of Sunday labour throughout the country. I do not say if an increa:e., of labour in London is an infraction of a great principle, that a diminution of labour in the country would be any counterbalance to it; but as I saw it well put in a newspaper the other day, as one public bakehouse diminishes the labour of a number of fami lies, so the labour of 25 additional clerks for a few hours morning and evening on a Sunday, will enable the Postmas' er. General to dispense with a great deal of Sunday work throughout the country. But this, you will observe, does not touch the question of principle which has been started by some of the speakers—the question of shutting the Post-office all over the country on Sundays—(Hear, hear)—but that is not the question before us now. The question is what will be the effect of the measure now before ui ; and my sincere decided opinion is, that the effect will be considerably to diminish Sunday labour throughout the country. Some doubts appear to exist whether more letters are written on Sundays than on other days ; but it must be obvious from the fee, of which lam assured, that the letters delivered on Monday amount to 25 per cent. more than on other days. Mr. PALMER impressed upon Lord John Russell the great importance of his allowing the country mcre time to express their feelings on the matter, and of not permitting the deputation to go away with the conviction that the measure would be carried out on Sunday next. The Bishop of LONDON thought that, on a question of so much importance, a little delay might be con ceded. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S opinion was, be must con fess, that people would not have a right understand. ing of the measure till it was put in operation. He should, however, in deference to what had been said, consider the matter with the Postmaster-General, and me what his opinion was as to any delay of the measure, though he could not say anything as to withdrawing the measure, as his opinion was that it would diminish Sunday labour. The Bishop of London had observed that when the clergy were exerting themselves, as they bad done most usefully, in promoting the proper observance of the Sabbath, they might be met by the argument that the Govern ment were introducing Sunday labour in the metro polis. He thought it would be but fa i r t o sa y should Oh objection be raised, "that, though it may appear to you Sunday labour is increased at the Post offices by this measure, it is the opinion of the Government that, on the whole, Sunday labour will be diminished at the Post offices by it. The Bishop of LONDON, in explanation, said, he was satisfied the Government would not sanction the measure if they thought it would increase Sunday labour. The deputation then retired. BURIAL OF THE DEAD IN THE MIDST OF THE LIVING• TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. SIR,—In your report of the proceedings of the National Society for the Abolition of Burial in Towns, which appeared in The Sun of last evening, instead of two acres, it is stated that the churchyard of St. Giles-in-the Fields, contains ten acres. As I know that the number of interments therein might be put down, without any risk of exaggeration, as amounting to many thousands more than the number stated in the report, I shall feel obliged by your al lowing me to correct the error as to the space occu pied by St. Giles's churchyard ; it is two acres and not ten. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, G. A. WALKER, St. James's place, St. Jame's-street, October 11th. TORTURE IN SWITZERLIND.—A few days ago M. F—, examining magistrate of Zug, in Switzerland, had to investigate a charge of robbery against a servant• girl named Wildenberg, and, as the case was clearly made out against her, he called on her to avow her guilt. She repeatedly refused; whereupon he ordered that she should be subjected to torture. Accordingly, her two thumbs were fastened in a vice, and this being attached to a cord which passed through a ring in the ceiling, sho was lifted from the ground. The examining magis trate then called upon her to confess her guilt; but, as she again refused, he caused her to receive two heavy blows from a stick. This, however, had no effect; but, after twelve minutes' torturing, she cried for mercy and avowed herself guilty. A report of this affair was made to the Grand Council of the canton, but all that was done was to pass a severe reprimand en the magis trate, to warn him not again to exceed the lew, to quash the interrogatory, and order it to be recommenced before another magistrate. THE NEWSVENDERS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVI DENT INSTITUTION.—Last evening a quarterly general meeting of the members and donors of the above b3ne volent and provident institution, established in 1839, for the purpose of granting temporary relief and assistance to masters and servants engaged as vendors of news papers, who, from age, in fi rmity, or distress, may require the aid of the benevolent, was held at the Newsvenders' Hall, in Black Horse-court, Fleet-street, for the trans action of general business. The report for the past year, bring the tenth of the society's existence, congra tulated the members upon the steady progress of the funds, whilst at the same time the committee urge the ne cessity of an increase, in order that the growing claims of the infirm and needy may be met. Duriag the last twelve months 15/. was dispensed for temporary relief cases to members and their widows (the standing rules of the society limiting such relief whilst the funds were under 1,0001, the dividends of the funded stock being only applicable for benevolent pur poses). The invested capital now amounts to 1.0001. Thera is at present only one permanent pen sioner at 161. per annum. The financial statement for the past year showed that (including the previous be• lance) the receipts from all sources had been 1111. 9s. 11d.; the expenditure, including the purchase of 501. ad ditional stock, left a balance of 111. 10s. 93. The report concluded with the expression of gratitude to the various daily ,journals for their support and assistance, and an appeal to the members of the trade to extend th e bene ficial influence of the institution. ATTEMPT IT SCICIDE BY A LADY IN HYDE PARR. —Yesterday morning, shortly after eight . o'clock, as the superintendent of the Ro y al Humane So ciety was proceeding along the north bank of the Serpentine river he saw, at some distance from him, a well dressed female who appeared to be divesting herself of her outs ide gar ments, and before he could get up to her, she rushed towards the water, and uttering; a loud shriek threw her self into the deepest part of the river and directly sank. An alarm was immediately given, and Hill, one of the watermen, pushed off in a boat, and on arriving at the spot caught hold of the female by the hair of her head just as she was going down the second time. She was speedily conveyed to the receiving howe, ee iere the usual remedies were resorted to, and att , .r some time she wile so far recovered as to inform the s uperintendent that her name was Newell, that her friends wore highly spectable, and kept their carriage, and that the cause of her attempting the rash act was, th a t her lover had proved unfaithful to her. Had not the s up e rintendent been n ear the spot, sh e , no do u bt, wou ld have carried her ob ject into effect, as at the spot where she sank the water is m ore than 14 feet deep.

But no rebuff, no sarcasm, no sharp commentary seemed to daunt or affe c t him, till Mr. Ward, the present Secretary to the Admi ralty, brought against him the soft, but undeniable im peachment, that he had been seen travelling in a public coach himself; in one of those very vehicles, whose 1 momution on Sundays he had denounced as sinful, while entirely silent as to private carriages; and further more, that when the coach stopped for dinner, he had ordered a special beefsteak for himself; thus causing servile work to be done, in flagrant violation of the spirit and teachings of his own legislative essays."

Stage Manager, Mr. W. Welt. The Irish Executive has discharged an act of public duty, which will be hailed with satisfaction by every right-thinking man in the British isles. The Orange magistrates, who manifested such real or affected ignorance of the laws of the land in the investigation of the Dolly's Brae massacre, have been removed from the commission of the peace. Stern justice and sound policy alike demanded .this manly, straightforward course ; and we know no act, which State necessity required, more calculated than this is to give to the able administration of Lord CLARENDON the impress of equal and impartial justice. The Orange magistrates of Castlewellan were either really ignorant of the laws which they were bound to administer, or they were so besotted with bigotry as to misinterpret them—in either case they were to 'tally unfit to hold the high offices with which they were entrusted ; and we hope the Lord Chancellor's supersedeas has ere this relieved all the clerical justices who figured on the same occasion from their magisterial functions, and enabled them to devote more of their time to the exercise of their holy calling. Scenes of strife and blood are not meet places for the priests of a religion of peace ; the sword is an un seemly weapon in the hands of a minister of the faith of CHRIST, whose most earnest precept was that "ye love one another."

When, on a former occasion through the columns of this journal, we energetically called upon the Irish Government for the dismissal of those men, we gave expression to the feelings of regret we felt for the position of Lord RODEN. We felt no sympathy with the unchristian fury of political parsons ; they should be made to feel the power of those laws which they disregarded and abused. The nauseous and frothy efervescence of Mr. BEER'S bigotry should not be allowed to evaporate from the seat of justice. It is much better suited to the wayside Shebeen of some jovial brother, where, in their midnight orgies, he may join the worthy fraternity in offering unholy sacrifice to the demon of bygone feuds. With such men as these we have no sympathies, but we confess we do feel a degree of sadness at the melancholy fate of the venerable nobleman of many years, and many virtues, upon whose declining age these wretched parasites have brought the marks of dishonour. The creeping parasites in the vegetable world, unable to sustain themselves, will twine round some noble tree, sapping its vitality until they leave it a withered and useless trunk ; so have those parasitical weeds of Ulster twined round this time-honoured Nobleman," till they have stripped him of the honours due to his station and his virtues." But while the age and virtues of Lord RODEN awaken our sympathies, the rigid justice with which his offence has been visited calls for our warmest com mendation ; we feel that grey hairs cannot sanctify crime, or make folly respectable ; we feel that the ami abilities of private life cannot and should not shield a man from the consequences of his public wrongs, and And what, after all, is the meaning of this bragga. contested for the Crown of England on the banks of the Boyne. The Irish fought for their lawful Sovereign, the vacillating and weak-minded Jesus WILLIAM was supported by the tried veterans of THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The trials at Versailles seem to excite scarcely any interest. The split between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Legitimatists is said to be complete. The PRESIDENT, who has become completely aware of their intrigues has, it is said, resolved to expel them altogether from his councils. The Constitutionnel has a furious attack on the Debats on account of the publication by the latter of the proceedings before the committee on the affairs of Rome. It is evidently from the pen of M. TITTERS, and would seem to prove the-existence of some still further split in the ranks of the reac- tonaries : " The Journal des Debats which, as its antecedents ea plain, is a better Republican than we, yesterday published an account which is perfectly incorrect, of what took place in the committee on the credits for the Roman expedi tion. There is in its recital one of those underhand attacks which it too often directs, no one knows why, against one of the most energetic defenders of society. One may not partake in the opinions of M. Thiers ; but it is to do more wrong to oneself than to him to impute to him ridiculous opinions. This, nevertheless, is what the Debats does in its report of the proceedings of the committee. The words which it puts in the mouth of M. Thiers are ridiculously false, and we have no neces sity to affirm that that gentleman did not utter a word of what it imputes to him. Besides, an opportunity will soon present itself for hearing what he has to say on the subject, and it will be seen that what he said, instead of being a foolish exaggeration, is marked by truth and good sense. We warn the Del ats that the member of the committee who furnished it the information has been guilty of two things—falsehood and breach of faith; for he has stated what did not occur, and he bad, like all the other members of the committee, engaged himself not to reveal what took place during a discussion with closed doors." M. DE TOCQUEVILLE, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, gave a public assurance yesterday that he had received no intelligence from Naples of the occurrence of any disturbances, neither did he en tertain any apprehensions that any such had occurred. Count LADISLAS TELEX' has addressed the follow ing letter to the editor of the Dix Decemere, in answer,to,the attacks upon the Hungarians which hare recently appeared in that journal " Monsieur,—ln your publication of Oct. 4, I find the following words:—' Is it this Hungary, so little worthy of her heroes, that all Europe would have supported with transports of holy enthusiasm, had she addressed herself to what constitutes the true strength of Europe, the party of order and of progress ? Is it the fault of the President of the Republic, if the letters addressed to the Government by the Hungarians were only the mis interpretation and the reverse of those previously ad dressed to the red committees, who were consulted and supplicated before France?' As regards Hungary, _I desire not to discuss the question Whether or not - she is worthy of her heroes. Hungary, Monsieur, has laid herself bare in the face of the world. The world has seen her struggling and bleeding. The world knows what she has been. A constitution has existed for eight centuries; that consti tution has maintained itself amidst great vicissitudes; it has equally resisted the invasions of barbarism and the encroachments of despotism. It has developed itself in accordance with the spirit of the present age, and that without disorder, without popular risings, without dan gerous symptoms of any kind. Had this constitution vitality, or, regarding the very interests of civilization, was it to be overthrown ? A nation had arisen as one man for the defence of her time-hallowed institutions, of her laws, and of ;her legally-guaranteed independenee. She triumphed over one powerful enemy; she has been the victim of a coalition of two great powers. Was this a nation of cowards, or of revolutionists ? Was this a nation to be crushed, to be deprived of the inheritance of her fathers, and this in the interest of a society based upon family and property ? The question will soon be answered, if indeed it be not already answered. "Truth, Monsieur, will come to light, will dissipate unjust impediments, and Hungary will be judged of as she has been, and not as people shall have wished to make her appear. Those are strong, Monsieur, who are without reproach; and who have the right to stand before the pan of history within sight of that other immortality whose view, though it gives no consolation, gives repose. No; what concerns Hungary in the above passage cannot form the subject of any opposition on my part. For the rest, there is but one opinion. But it is not so as regards me personally. It is evident that if the letters addressed to the Government by the Hungarians were only the misinterpretation and the reverse of those pre viously addressed to the red committees who were con sulted and supplicated before France,' a 3 is asserted in the article in question, it is I alone who am responsible, because I was the sole representative of the Hungarian Government in France; and if the Hungarians deserve to be taxed with duplicity and manoeuvring in their relations with France, there can be but one guilty party, and that one must be myself. This, therefore, is an ac cusation from which it is necessary for me to clear my self; and you will allow me to ask upon what it is founded. All that I have said, and all I have written, since I came to France, could tend but to one end—that of bringing out the Hungarian question in its true light, I and of showing Hungary as I know her to be, attached to her past, strong in her good right, and the champion of loyalty, order, and true liberty. I have sought to ar rive at this result by means of notes addressed to the Government and by publications; but I have never ad dressed myself to committees of any party. I have al ways felt that I ought and could address myself only to the Government and to France; and I accept the respon sibility of every one of nay words. Let a single one be cited against me in proof of duplicity, and of intercourse with party committees, et victus dabo snanus. But, meanwhile, you will allow me, Monsieur, to affirm re that Lord CLARENDON has but done an act of solemn justice in dismissing from the commission of the peace the Orange magistrates of Castlewellan. We remember when many of the gentry of Ireland were dismissed from the commission of the peace for merely joining an associa tion, the professed object of which was the repeal of an Act of Parliament by legal and con stitutional means—an Act too which the majority of the people of that country believed injurious to their interests, and the repeal of which they were led to believe would prove a panacea for all their wrongs and sufferings. There was no violation of the laws, no open defiance of the Government, yet any magistrate who sent his adhesion to this body was forthwith unhesitatingly struck off the magisterial list by a predecessor of the present Viceroy. Could then Lord CLAEENDON allow the magistrates of Castlewellan to parade at the head of an infuriated, armed, and illegal mob with impunity ? Could he, with a shadow of a show of justice, or with the smallest claim to an impartial administration of the laws, allow those men to go unpunished—men who first openly instigate to crime, and then indecently use the powers with wbich they were entrusted to turn aside the sword of justice ? No, Lord CLARENDON has acted with courage and wisdom ; social order, impartial justice, the peace of Ireland demanded that the majesty of the law should be vindicated in Down as well as in Tipperary, and that the besotted bigots of Castle wellau should receive as wholesome a lesson of obe dience to the laws as the insane conspirators of Ballingarry. solutely that the accusation is without foundation Agriez, &c.

A plantation of two centuries ought to become racy of the soil. It is time the Orangemen of Ulster should forget their foreign ancestry, and remember the rich and interesting land of their birth. It is time they should feel they are now and for ever Irish. It is time they should join the true and loyal in a glorious effort to raise their prostrate country. If they will do this none will more heartily rejoice than we shall; if they will not—if they will still keep alive the recollection of old feuds, that lead to strife and blood, none will more loudly call down upon them the strong arm of the law. Dissension must cease in the land, the days of an unjust ascen dancy are passed away for ever. Orangeman and Ribbonman must alike understand that Ireland is in future to be governed by equal laws and equal rights, without distinction of sect, or class, or creed. After centuries of misrule Irish legislation has taken a step in the right direction. Let us hope, then, iden tity of interests will combine all Irishmen in the bonds of peaceful brotherhood for the benefit of their common country. By such a holy union they would secure the blessings from GOD and justice from man ; heal the wounds of their bleeding country, and bring peace, content, and happiness to their hearths and homes.

The Grand Duke of TuscANY will, it is said, pub lish an amnesty on his return to Florence from Vienna. GUERRA= will be included in this am nesty, from which, however, MONTANELLI, MAZZONI, and MARMOCCIII will be excluded. The Tuscan loan is concluded with a Dutch house for 25,000,000 livres, at se. Dr. MILLENGEN, an English physician, has been forced to quit Rome, nominally because, residing at Albano, he had, in common with every other inhabitant of that place, been compelled to serve as a National Guard, but in reality because of his endavours to recover the children of his brother from a seminary and a nun nery, into which they had been kidnapped, and where they were detained by order of the Vicar-General, avowedly to prevent their being brought up by their father in the Protestant faith. The Minister of Finance, GALLI, has given notice that the Government intends to resume the payment of the half-yearly dividends due on Roman Consols, and fixes the days for the holders of different series to apply for the money. Letters from Naples of the Ist announce the arrest Of RUGGIERO, who was Finance Minister in the BORELLI Ministry. These letters make no mention of the occurrence of any outbreak at Naples. FINSBURY REGISTRATION. (THIS DAY.) Francis Bayley, Eq., the Barrister appointed to re vise thn list of voters for the borough of Finsbury, held his Court to-day in Lincoln's Inn. The Learnt d Gen tleman sat in the Vice-Chancellor of England's Court. and was occupied the whole morning with receiving the lists of the different parties in the borough. There are very few olkctions, claims, or corrections to be made in the lists, and the proceedings appear to excite no interest, exccpt among overseers and parish officers. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 20,000 bales, including 1,000 American and 4,000 Brazil on speculation. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of American are id. to 4d. per lb., Brazil nearly as much, and Surat and Egyptian id. per lb. dearer. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 10,000 Brazil, at 6d. to 6j1.; 1,000 Egyptian, at 6d. to 604 600 Surat, at 44d. to 41d.; and 300 Sea Island, at 11d. to ls. 3d. pot' lb. The market closed tamely for short staples, but firm for other sorts.—ln Railway Shares a limited business was done, and prices had a downward tendency. The Corn Market is steady to-day. The arrivals are small of foreign grain, if we except wheat. There is again no foreign intelligence of interest in a commercial point of view, but we may mention, by the way, that the idea propagated with respect to the.pro bable adhesion of Hamburgh to the Zollverem is not deemed of much weight in the best in formed circles here. Indeed, we have had the opportunity this morning of conversing with a gen tleman who has just re turned from Frankfort, and who, by the way, describes trade as being very active, and the result is, that the step is much more unlikely than many would have us infer. The salvation of Hamburgh de pends upon its adherence to free trade principles, and we shall see if its magnificent foreign com merce will be lightly thrown to the winds, merely for the doubtful advantage of conciliating the duty-ridden states that surround it. The quantity of produce offered this week at the public sales has been moderato, but to-day more is pressing on the market, and there has throughout been a disposition to sell. This is especially the case with Coffee, which is decidedly lower. The articles most in favour have been Cotton and Indigo, and in the former the specula tion has been excessive, and such as to lead to the im pression that a reaction must occur. The manufao turers obviously cannot afford to pay such enhanced values, unless they get much more for their goods.

(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) A FLAW IN THE NEW ACT.—The new Bankruptcy Act came into operation this morning, and several pe titions were filed in accordance with it. In the course of the morning his Honour observed that there was a most important omission in one of the clauses, which di rected that the bankrupt should be examined on his declaration in lieu of an oath, but did not give any power of commitment in the event of his refusing to make the declaration. All that the Commissioner could do was to refuse the certificate. Mr. CooKE said that the making the declaration was precedent to any proceeding by the bankrupt, and that he was bound to take it. . _ _ His HONOUR said it was very true that the refusal to comply with the Act of Parliament was an indictable offence. MUSIC AT RAMSGATE.—IN RE WEBIL—The bank rupt was described as of Albion-place, Ramsgate, music seller. The debts amount to 450 L, assets nil. Mr. BEARD, clerk to Mr. Buchanan, now applied for bankrupt to be allowed to pass his last examination. The bankrupt's losses had principally been on two con certs he had given. By one, in 1848, he lost 701., and in 1849, 631. There was no opposition, and the bankrupt passed. kIA RLBRO'-ST REET 7 -( THIS DAY Harriett Newell, a young female, Said to be well con: netted, was charged before Mr. Bingham with attempt• ing to drown herself in the Serpentine, Hyde , park. about 92i I.

Three minutes reflection must convince every ra tional mind that the indignation expressed by the Sabbatarians, in regard to the new Post-office regu lations, has originated from a total misconception of those arrangements. It needed not the explanations of the first Minister of the Crown to demonstrate this fact, although, considering the annoyance caused by this preposterous agitation, it is gratifying to hear the refutation of so many absurdities from the lips, not only of Lord Joust RUSSELL himself, but also from those of the Marquis of CLA.IIIIICARDB and of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Of the temper of the deputation which - yesterday waited upon the Premier at his official residence in Downing-street, we shall say nothing, beyond this simple observa tion, that to our mind there is something rather unseemly in the " lie direct" given in vociferous cries of "No, no," to the as sertions of the Postmaster-General, that the measures recently adopted in his department have been misunderstood. That the Marquis of CLAN. RICARDE was quite correct in making that statement is sufficiently proven by the very fact of the late excite ' ment among the sanctimonious. Why, what are the circumstances of the case ? Here is a new system of arrangement contrived with great skill by one of the most distinguished of our public benefactors, Mr. ROWLAND HILL, the author of the Penny Postage, here is a system, we say, contrived by , him with singular ingenuity for the express purpose of diminishing the amount of general labour through out the country on Sundays. And no sooner are these new regulations announced than these eminently moral wiseacres, the Sabbatarians, without pausing one moment to reflect, without waiting for any elucidation, without knowing a single tittle of the proceedings, rise up in a paroxysm of religious stupidity and make the welkin ring with their yells against Sabbath desecration. Sabbath desecration I Why, the new regulations have been proposed for the express purpose of diminishing what you are pleased to call Sabbath desecration. The arrangements ad ventured upon by the authorities at St. Martin's-le- Grand have originated not less from a solicitude to prevent the continuance of great evils to a large portion of the community, than from a de sire to decrease those labours on the Sunday, which you are pleased to designate Sabbath desecration. The plan against which you are bellowing with such very Christian meekness and suavity will—effect what changes ? It will add twenty five more clerks to those already engaged at the General Post-office in Sunday occupations—while, at the same time, it will release from all Sunday labours two thousand others at present occupied throughout the provinces. The matter, therefore is reduced to a consideration of the difference between twenty five and two thousand. Surely the question is of a sufficiently comprehensible simplicity ? But, no. The sticklers for the " bitter" observance of what they call the Sabbath are blind to a demonstra tion as visible as the heavens at noonday—are deaf to an argument as brief and lucid as a syllogism. They set posters in every shop window calling down abuse on a Godless Government. They get up meetings for the noisy and the sanctimonious. They chalk upon the walls maledictions dedicating all who do not co-operate in their wretched movement to the sudden death caused by that modern plague the cholera.* They " split the ears of the groundlings" with their most obstreperous morality, and at last must needs carry their, ideal grievances up to the leaders of the Government. Both the Prime Minister and the Postmaster-General were most generously pleased to avow that, although they differed entirely with the reasoning of these malcontents, they nevertheless regarded with respect the feelings in which their remonstrances had originated. Now we must candidly acknowledge at once that we do participate in this sentiment of respect. .anythingnotat all so gratuitously meddlesome, so intolerably opaque, so ostentatiously pious, is calculated to elicit any feelings rather than those of respect from ourselves. We should like vastly to know if, in the opinion of the Sabbatarians, the observance of religion is to be regulated according to the locality—otherwise their conduct is altogether inexplicable. They remain, for instance, in an attitude of exemplary patience so long as the post-office clerks are labouring in the provincial offices on Sundays. But directly it is proposed to increase the number of g theirag ed r in e el L e o e n s d t r o a n n , t e h s e . y A a r r e e t v h violent u l a s nd vociferous of clerks s i oe n n the provincial clerks of no account, while the souls of the metropolitan clerks are of superlative importance ? Again, we should be gratified to know whether or 4 ' A fact visible in Pimlico; and one w e thi n k not uawo rthy the attention of the police. tri) Ottton NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.)

The royal carriages were in waiting at the Nine Elms station, to convey the illustrious party to Bentley Priory, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, where the Queen was to partake of luncheon. Her Majesty is expected to return to Buckingham Palace this afternoon, at five o'clock, from the Priory. The dinner party this evening, at the Palace, will be limited to the royal suite. The Duke of Norfolk, Master of the Horse, arrived in town this afternoon, to receive the Queen. The youthful Royal Family are still at Osborne. The arrival of Miss Cushman in America has afforded great exultation to her countrymen and women, and caused strong excitement among rivals theatrical managers. One of the American papers justly observes, " She brings home no more talent than she carried away, but she brings a proper and high appreciation of that talent ;" and the anxiety to secure her services is a pretty good evidence that her genius bas earned a just and elevated position in the school of legitimate drama which few can reach. W e are glad to find she is so proudly welcomed in her own land; but we shall be still more glad when she has gathered her native laurels, and again honours Old England with a sojourn. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The cotton market at Havre yesterday was extremely animated, caused by the arrival of advices from Liverpool an nouncing the large sates and advance in prices of Wed nesday last at that port. The sales at Havre were yes terday,' at t w o o ' c l oc k, 4 , 312 b a l es, at an gclranp.on Previa* day's quotations of 2 francs, GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Wiener Zeitung of the 6th Oct. states that on the 4th of October the sum of 26,141,1003. was sub scribed in Vienna alone to the new Austrian loan. The return from the Branch Treasury Bill has yet to be added. The result will be published in a few days. The subscription to the new loan closes on the 4th. The Wiener Zeitung of the sth contains the official announcement that M. JocTEAu, Secretary to the Sardinian States, has arrived at Vienna as the be lrer of 60,000,0001. of the mortgage of the Sardinian debt, which he delivered to the Austrian Minister as guarantee for the exactitude of the payment at the time fixed by the treaty of peace. The Emperor of AUSTRIA went on the sth to 'Bch], on a visit to his father and mother. It was confidently stated on the Vienna Bourse that the differences with the Porte were on the eve of set tlement. Nothing certain is known as to the fate of AuLicu Kiss, and the other Hungarian generals prisoners at Arad. It is said to be the intention of the Austrian Government to give to the Slovaks an organization distinct from Hungary. The fortress of Comorn is now in complete posses sion of the Imperialists. The last of the Hungarian garrison evacuated it on the 4th. VIENNA, OCT. s.—The two political topics of the day are Count STURMER'S placard at Pere, of the cessation of all further diplomatic communications with the Porte, until the delivery up of the Hungarian prisoners; and, secondly, the refusal of the French Ambassador to furnish the people of Comorn with passports for France; consequently, they have no alternative but to seek an exile in England. The Pesth Zeitung of the 29th, in speaking of the death of GEORGEY, observes that Count EDMUND ZICHY had passed the whole of the week at Pesth, and had only left there for Stuhlweiszenburg on the 30th. It is now definitively fixed that his MAJESTY will pass the winter at Vienna. According to credible information, there is no longer any obstacle to the constitution of Waywodina as Crown land. Field-Marshal RADETSKY arrived At Presburgh the day before yesterday in strict in cognito, on a visit to his daughter the Countess MEN THEIM. This visit was not unexpected, but the veteran General earnestly requested that there might not be any public demonstration. Baron JELLACHICII also arrived here from Vienna to-day. VIENNA, OCT. 7.—Field-Marshal HAYNAU arrived here yesterday to deliver the keys of Comorn to the EMPEROR. His MAJESTY is expected here to day from his visit to Ischl. The report of the sentence and execution of the Hungarian insurgent Generals AULICII, KISS, POTTENHERG, and DAMJANOWICK, the latter of whom had the command at Arad, is again circulated here to-day. It is also rumoured that the former Prime Minister, Count LOUIS BATTHYANY, has been sentenced to death, and, as some assert, was executed yesterday at Pesth. PoSEN, OCT. 3.—A Pole, writing from Widdin in the early part of September, says, after passing fifteen days here we received the intelligence from Estambol that the SULTAN had refused to deliver us up. The Island of Carlra has been assigned to us, and to all the fugitives from Hungary who desire to remain in the country, as a place of residence. There is no doubt that the Porte will not offer us monthly payment, but simply the means necessary for forming new colonies. PRUSSIA. On the evening of the 9th the ratifications were exchanged at Berlin between Austria and Prussia, of the treaty for the establishment of the new German Central rower ; the Council of Administration having given its consent to the confederation of the three Kings, by a majority of six votes. The Second Chamber in its sitting of the 9th agreed to the 1&5 paragraph of the amended Constitution, by a majority of 237 to 63. It is as follows : " Laws and decrees are binding when promulgated in the forms prescribed by law. Only in such cases when the preservation of the public safety demands it, or in urgent cases of exceptional necessity,can, in so much as the Chambers are not sitting, under the responsibility of the whole Ministry of State, decrees, not contrary to the terms of the Constitution, be issued with legal effect; the same are, however, to be immediately brought be fore the Chambers at their first meeting." General RODOWITZ has returned to Berlin. SAXONY. The fair of Leipsic, which has just concluded, is the best that has been known for many years. All the manufactured articles—the cloths, stuffs, leathers, went off in general at from 10 to 15 per cent. higher than on former occasions. Objects of luxury, and all kinds of work in the precious metals, found many purchasers for exportation. This re-animation in trade is attributable as the result of the previous stagnation into which all production had fallen, in consequence of the revolutionary agitations through out Europe. The consumption of the masses call forth positive wants, and these wants must naturally be satisfied. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Copenhagen, of the 4th says— " Baron Hugo Von Plessin has left for Berlin, to ob tain a categorical answer from that Cabinet respecting the intervention of the Prussian military. The Berlingshe Zeitung states that the commanding officer at Tondern, on being called upon by Baron Von Plessin, stated that he neither could nor would employ the military force in quelling the disorders, as his instructions did not fur nish him with positive orders. Fadrilandal, says Baron Von Plessin, has worked so effectually upon the Com mandant at Tondern, Major Von Wusson, that, upon his demand, he produced his instructions, although he is specially enjoined in the same to keep them secret from everybody as long as possible.
