The right of grura'oling is one of the most cherished privileges of Englishmen. It is the safety-valve that has prevented political explosions similar to those we have so frequently witnessed amongst our continental neighbours. The pressure of our grievances lcses half its intensity when we are permitted to complain of our sufferings freely and w ithout restriction. Our sorrows and afflictions do not seem so intolerable when we are permitted to give them free expression, and receive the sympathies of others whcse positions are by zo means better than our own. Thus it is that the agriculturists derive a melancholy satisfaction in declaring themselves to be utterly and irretrievably ruined, and that the sun of England's glory set for ever with the establishment of free-trade, and the abolition of the grinding monopoly which they have been pleased to term " protec tion." So long as all other classes were taxed for their exclusive benefit they ascribed the evils, the existence of which were then as fully admitted as at present, to a variety of different causes. Bad harvests, overspeculation, railway expenditure, in turn, were declared to be the causes of the national distress ; but now all these have been completely for gotten, and the want of protection is alleged to be the source of all the misery and wretchedness which the country has encountered since the year 1846. The artizans and operatives of the manufacturing districts have justly complained, because they have been compelled to eat cheap bread, the price of which bas not been artificially increased by heavy duties ; merchants and tradesmen have been obliged to sus pend payments, because they were not permitted to contribute large sums to keep up the price of farming produce ; the State machinery: has completely gene astray since the stoppage of the wheel, that made all others contributory to the high price of land. Such are the complaints that are reverberated from agricultural meetings throughout all parts of the country. Notwithstanding the rules that prohibit political discussion at the festivities of the various societies, no orator will be listened to with any degree of attention who does not expatiate upon the irretrievable ruin that has fallen upon the landed in terest, as well upon the owners as on the occupiers of the soil. These salutary regulations are manifestly regarded as " more honoured in the breach than in the observance," and if any satisfaction is to be derived from knowing the full extent of the mischief, then should the British farmers be tho. roughly and completely happy. Many noble and distinguished orators have chaunted the bucolic grievances in different parts of the country within the last week. At Loughborough the Marquis of GRANBY has proclaimed how utterly useless it is for farmers to hope for fair remuneration for their labours. He has announced that it is absurd to look to " increased production" or " cheaper production" as the means of meeting the additional competition to which they are subjected ; they cannot succeed either by high farming or low farming, by employing much or little labour in the cultivation of their lands. One resource only remains, they must adopt a system of exclusive dealing, in order that the manufacturers may be involved in one common ruin with themselves. If they have any money they must expend it in foreign countries, where a certain amount, 10 or 15 per cent. of their payments, will be returned to the exchequer in the shape of duties, and by means thereof the amount of taxation that presses so heavily at present may be reduced. Does the Noble Marquis for a moment suppose that the British manufacturer, who can at present successfully compete with the foreigner in his own land, although subject to great disadvantages in the expenses of freight and costs of transit, and even in import duties, will fear that competition in his own country, where bis position is reversed and his rival is obliged to encounter similar impediments? or does he imagine that English farmers will pay much higher prices for inferior articles, in order to avenge the fancied wrongs inflicted on him by the refusal of his fellow subjects any longer to subsidise the landlords? For, after all, these are the only parties who benefited by protection while it existed, and who must now sustain occasioned by its removal. The the loss, if any , British manufacturer only requires a clear stage and no favour—he seeks no more for himself, and he will nut readily be disposed to yield it to others. The remedy proposed by the Noble Marquis i s , therefore, as vain as is the hope, if any such there be, that protection can again be restored, and that the trading and com mercial classes will consent to the re-imposition of the trammels and fetters by which they were formerly restricted. At Saffron Walden, Major BERESFORD took an equally gloomy view of the position and prospects of the country. i, " They might talk of good times corning , raid the Hon. and G a ll an t G en tl eman , "b u t un til they saw the rising of som e super i or star to open t o them a brighter horizon, and to show them a plan by which the farmers would be enabled to en dure the load under which they had to labour, be belie roil it wa s im p ossible to expect better day,„,, In West Surrey , too, the Earl of EGMONT, after E xpres:,inga hope " that thz., meetingwould rememb er thechairman's inju nction to abstain from touching an politics," was the first to violate it himself by free trade and inveighing bitterly agains.; rties. At Tavi.stock, the reelite and Cobdenite r Mr. of Prince FLU, the chairman of the meeting also dwelt in the most despond i ilg strain upon agricultural prospects. The litter gentleman, however, offered practical sugges tion:, that were much more acceptable to an assem blage of tenant-farmers than they would have been to a body of landlords. Ho insisted upon a general re- THE auction of rents, and not of rents merely, but of taxes also, a reduction of every kind. Did it not, however, occur to Mr. FOWLER, that his object might be attained in another and more simple form—that the wide-spread and general distress, which is not peculiar to the agricultural body, but in which all classes, merchants, traders, manufacturers, and, be yond all, labourers participate—has been occasioned by the undue appreciation of money, under our pre sent iniquitous monetary code, by which the pressure of taxation, and of every public and private charge or incumbrance, has been increased to twice its former amount ? When the purchasing power of a pound is double what it formerly was when twice the quantity of broad cloth, of calico, and of almost any description of ma nufactured goods, must now be given that was for merly required for the same nominal sum, how, we say, can he suppose that agricultural produce should form the sole exception to the rule ? The value of the quarter of corn, of the ton of hay, of oats, or of turnips, is not more reduced than every other species of commodity. It is not that they have depreciated, but that the general measure of value—money—has been appreciated. The movement that will be really beneficial to the country will be one in favour of a free and unrestricted currency, by which the life-blood of industry, a circulation adequate to the wants and exigencies of the people, will be supplied to the nation. That is the object for which every honest man, every true friend and well-wisher to the country, should struggle. When that is obtained trade will be rendered really free, and there will be an equitable adjustment of the public burdens. The money lender and usurer will indeed be• deprived of the "protection" and monopoly he has hitherto enjoyed, but the industrious classes, without exception— farmers and agricultural labourers as well as trades. men, the manufacturers and operatives—will receive the fair fruits of their labour, and there will be full and remunerative employment for all who are able and willing to work. FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Avignon and Marseilles Railway Bill was read a first tune by the Assembly on Tuesday. The High Court of Versailles was on Tuesday the scene of another scandal, in consequence of the gro,:s mi3conduct of a witness, M. VALOIS, who, instead of confining himself to facts, abused the prisoners, who were representatives, calling them not representatives, but wretches—hereupon the prisoners, as might have been expected, loudly protested against the insults of M. VALOIS. Theso protests were renewed in the course of the day in consequence of the manner in which a certain Cap tain GOUBEAU gave his evidence. The Captain stated that upon his arresting a couple of individuals, one of them said "Take care, I am a representa tive ;" on which he (the a itness) exclaimed, " You a representative ? rye, a representative of the Ca naille !" Hereupon the prisoners rose, en masse, and protested against the shameful insults to which they were subjected, and one of them, LAMAZIERE, de - nounced the witness as a liar, for which he was immediately sentenced to three months' imprisonment. and a fine of 100 francs. The Counsel for the defence energetically denounced the insulting con duct of the witnesses. The Republique and the Democratie Paeffique of Tuesday were seized for publishing the following letter from Louis BLANC and his companions in exile:— " Citizen,—The sentence which has, in the person of citizent Caber, just struck one of the most pure and courageous,servants of democracy, has not surprised us. Whatever opinions may be formed on an attempt at colonization, inspired moreover by so elevated a feel• ing of devotedness, every Socialist considers himself as jointly attacked by the judgment pronounced against Cabet. It belongs to those who have sanctified the pil l-ry and the hulks to re-establish also the benches of the correctional tribunal. Each of us henceforth has paid his debt. The musket, the hulks, exile, imprisonment. the galleys, and infamous condemnations are the conse cration of new ideas. It is still the gibbet of ignominy transformed into the standard of victory ; the cap of the slave become the glorious symbol of liberty. Health and fraternity. " The members of the committee, "Lours BLANC, President ; J. CAZIVANT, Se cretary ; CAUSSIDIERE ; Louis MENARD ; RATTIER ; J. P. BERJAEU ; A. BOLTRA ; DELEAII) A. Dußois (a journeyman ca binet-maker) ; A. WATRIPON ; MARTIN BERNARD." Notwithstanding the seeming reconciliation between the parti-pretre and the Ministry, it is evident that the breach is becoming every day wider between the dif ferent factions of the so-called party of order. It will be remembered how energetically M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN exerted himself to secure the election of N. Loses NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to the Presidency of the Republic at the time that M. TRIERS declared that such an election would be a disgrace to France. No sooner, however, had the election taken place than M. DE GIRARDIN was discarded, and M. TRIERS, the man who had laid the Boulogne guet-a-pens for LOUIS NAPOLEON, was feted at the Elyste. The apparent friendship of N. 'JCIIIERS in 1849 was merely another guet-a pens, into which the PRESIDENT has again unwittingly fallen, and M. THIERS now endeavours to degrade the PRESIDENT, and to make him appear powerless and ridiculous. The object of these mano3uvres of M. 'rums are thus explained by the Presse:— " Do you desire to know what is the hope of M. Thiers? We will tell you. M. Thiers hopes that the day shall come when the domination of his own virtual Presidency becoming insupportable to the President, so only in name, the latter will, in a violent access of pas sion, attempt some inconsiderate enterprise. " Such is the calculation. The whole edifice is built on this supposition, on this eventuality, which they reckon upon as certain. The report of M. Thiers is the first stone of the edifice—the vote of the majority is the second." The health of M. DE FALLOUX continues in such a precarious state, that bis resignation is considered inevitable. It was said that the portfolio of Public Instruction would be offered to M. VATISMENIL, who had been one of the Ministers of CHARLES X. ; but the DE FALLOUX and the MONTALEMBERTS object to N. VATESMENIL, because he is not a Jesuit. Thus do these pseudo-Republicans, in their zeal of Jesuit ism, out-do even the priest-ridden CnannEs X. himself. There are rumours of an approaching change of Ministry, the PRESIDENT being, it is said, determined to surround himself by his friends all the members of the present Ministry will, it is said, retire, with the exception of M. ODILON BARROT ; and MM. VICTOR HUGO, DARU, DE LA MosuowA, and MATHIETJ DE LA REDORTE, will enter the Cabinet. The Patrie, however, states that these rumours are without foundation. The Constitutionnel says that, according to letters from Venice, a rumour was current in that city that the Austrian Cabinet bad determined to condemn the Hungarian Generals in their absence, and to abandon the demand of extradition. The Evenement states that dispatches have been addressed by the French Government to General AUPICIL, at Constantinople, instructing him to act in conjunction with the British Ambassador. The same journal states that the object of the mission of M. PERSIGNY to Vienna was to ask for the remains of the Due DB BEICHSTADT, in order to have them laid by the side of the EMPEROR. Had the request been complied with the intention was, that there should take place a magnificent funeral ceremony on the 25th of December, the anniversary of the translation of the remains of the EMPEROR to the Invalides. The young EMPEROR, however, gave a point blank refusal to the request, on the ground that it would not be becoming to remove the son of an Austrian Archduchess from the side of his mother. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday the dis cussion commenced on the proposition of M. CRETON, for abrogating the laws of proscription against the members of both branches of the Bourbon family. The Commission had recommended its not being taken into consideration. M. CRETON spoke at some length against this conclusion of the Committee, and disclaimed any idea of sowing the seeds of division between the moderate men who had brought the country back to a state of calmness and security, and to render an act of justice to unmerited mis fortune. M. Berryer said that though he had always opposed laws of proscription he should vote for the rejection of the present measure. He did so from the firm conviction that the families alluded to would not avail themselves of the abrogation of these laws. Under the present system which pre vailed in France, no member of the house of Bourbon would ever consent to return to the country. To recal them from exile at this moment would he considered only be to make "confusion worse con founded." M. Pascal Duprat said that he had intended to oppose the proposition, but the speech of M. Berryer had induced him to change his opinion, and he should now vote for it unless the Government, who would doubtless speak on which the subject, should point out any glaring dangermlgkt arise. It was not tne wish of his pa r ty to efface the past, but merely to of the princes said destroy in the minds he fromprinees of the fallen s houses all hopes which must The Minister of the Interior henceforth vain. thattl-e st p a r te opo o - f sition was good in itself, but in the present affairs he was opposed to its adoption. Th e Govern ment had clearly stated its views to the Committee on the subject, and on that opinion doubtless the Committee had come t o the resolution to oppose its UN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING , OCTOBER being taken into consideration. The Republic had, it was true, put an end to the exile of the Bona parte family, but that of the Bourbons stood in a very different position. He should therefore oppose the proposition. The opinion of the Government was founded on present circumstances only, for when the proper time should arrive it would consider it a point of honour to bring forward a Bill on the subject. M Napoleon Bonaparte said that the speech of M. Berryer was a complete war cry of two principles. —(Agitation.) The intentions evinced by the pro position, he thought, merited to be regarded in quite a different light. He would ask where were he and his party to defend the Bourbon family when the victory decided in favour of the Republic.—(Loud cries of " Order, order.") The principle of legitimacy was maintained against the wishes of the people.— (Hear, hear, on the Left.) M. Napoleon Bonaparte was left speaking when the post left. The Assembly was the scene of much tumult. The Assemblee Nationale publishes the following letter from Barcelona, dated 18th Oct. :- " The too celebrated Lola Mentes is at present in this city, and placed in a very critical position. Madame Heald adds to the interest of it by the manner in which she relates her late adventures. It appears that since her separation from the King of Bavaria she has re ceived from him an allowance of 50,000 f. a year, and a letter every three or four days. She affirms that the king has never been to her anything more than a bene factor, a real father ! Nothing can be more romantic than the manner in which she relates the circumstance attendant on her marriage with Mr. Heald. She was living a retired life in London, receiving very few vi,i• tors, and taking an airing almost every evening in the Parks. One day a Mr. X- spoke to her of Mr. Heald, who had followed her every day, and threw towards her the most amorous glances. She replied that she had not remarked him ; she had merely observed that be always had a very pretty dig in his carriage. Oa the following day the pretty dog was at the residence of the fair Lola, and then-but you know the rest. Some weeks after Lola Montes, after having refused the most magnEceet oilers, ac esf4potie,danthdeahlaitned a o n t oo l‘ it l y r. o H f e 2 al s d ,o , o a of. dl i a n tn i a e n r t e l rs ri o n n g t w o •o h rt e h r children. In contracting this marriage, Lola Mentes broke definitively with the King of Bavarin, and relin quished the pension of 50,0001, which she received from him. You know the history of the charge of bigamy which came to disturb the first joys of this union. You are aware of the journeys which the amorous couple took while the proceedings were going en. It appears that it was during their late resinenee at Boulogne that their first &mosaic disputes took place, and that Mr. Heald, tired of the burden imposed on him, resolved to leave his wife. However that may be, they loft Bou logne, together for Marseilles, and thence proceeded to Barcelona, where they arrived on the 7th inst, I saw Mr. Heald on the day of his arrival. Ile is a tall young man, thin and fair; he users rouge to conceal his pale ness. Five days since Mr. Hesid called on the English Consul, and said to him, I come to ask your advice. I have some friends here, who recommend me to abandon my wife; what ought Ito do? I am. afraid of being assassinated or poisoned. At Perpignan she stabbed inn' (he then showed a waistcoat stained with blood). The Consul replied, I cm astonished that after the attack you speak of you had not laid a complaint before the police at Perpignan, and that you have since lived with her here on such intimate terms. But if you wish to abandon your wife I have no advice to give you.' He offered, however, to ri.e his passport for any direction which ho might think proper to take. On the same day the parties had the quarrel which I mentioned yesterday, but the stab of the poinard appears to have been an invention of the person who related it. The scene was confined to reproaches and insults. On the following day, the 16th, Mr. Heald sent his passport to the English Consul, begging him to give him a new one, and at half-past four he had disappeared. To-day Lola Montes received an anonymous letter in English, beginning with these words-" Use discretion or you are lest.' It informed her that her husband still loved her, and that if she would go to join him, she was sure to bring him round to her. Lola was on the point of leaving, and had even token a place in the mail, when it occurred to her that it was perhaps only a trap laid for her, and that when they had got her into France a demand might be made for her extradition. Many people blame Mr. Heald. But why should he be now blamed? His fault was long since committed. Others pity the lovely Lola. They little know the age we live in. The celebrity of this lady is a fortune for her." PARIS BOURSE, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 24.

Madrid journals of the 19th have arrived. The Clamor Publico announces that in the evening of the 18th General NARVAEZ and the whole of the Ministers gave in their resignations, which were ac cepted by the QUEEN, after which she went to hear a new opera, the performance of which had been de• layed till half-past eleven o'clock, waiting her arrival. According to the Clamor Publico, and private letters, the QUEEN had, at the request of her husband, desired her her first major-domo to intorm her Ministers that there must be a change, as the KING, " her dear husband," did not approve of them, and in conse quence of this intimation General NARVArZ, after a Council of Ministers, went to the Palace and ten• dered the resignation of the entire Cabinet. The QUEEN instantly charged General CLEONARD with the formation of a new Cabinet, and on the 19th it was announced that it had been formed as follows : President of the Council and Minister of War, Gene ral CLEONARD ; Interior, General BALBOA ; Finances, M. ARMESTA ; Justice, M. MANREZA ; Foreign Affairs, the Count DE COLOMBI ; Marine, M. Bus- TELLOS ; Commerce and Public Works, to be united with the Interior. A letter of the 21st, by express, states that this new Cabinet had already ceased to exist, and that General NARVAEZ and his former colleagues had resumed the direction of public affairs. ANOTHER MINIS LERIAL CRISIS. A telegraphic dispatch, received in Paris, an nounces that the NAUVAZZ Ministry, which had been recalled to office on the 21st, had been again dis- missed. The Spanish Five per Cents., on the 19th, were at 26i. sonic Lodge, al i at which the Prince of PRUSSIA was present for trTae hours. The mceting was very numerous, and the PRINCE met with an enthusiastic reception. He replied at great length to a speech addressed to him on his entrance, and spoke of the mission which he had had to fulfil in combatting revolution. At the banquet the PRINCE proposed the first toast To the KING,' and afterwards said that his son had expressed a wish to be admitted into the lodge, but that as he was still a minor, he, the PRINCE, did not consider it necessary to demand for him a dispensation on account of his age, reserving to himself, if his son should persist in his resolution, to introduce him at a later period into an association whore he had been himself received with such love and friendship." YIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWZ3. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American, 500 Egyptian, and 500 Surat were taken on speculation. The transactions comprised 5,500 American, 200 Brazil, at 6kel. to 7d.; 600 Egyptian, at 64d. to 9d.; 600 Surat, at 4/d. to 5d.; and 50 Sea Island, at Is. to Is. sd. per lb. The market closed tamely, and, compared with Friday's rates, prices of American and Egyptian were nearly Id. higher, and Surats P. —Railway Shares were firmer. The Grain sales in the provincial markets were last week to a much larger extent than at the corresponding period of last year, those of Wheat being 121,654 qrs., and the six weeks' average price is returned at 425. Accounts from Germany state that emigration has been going on there this year to an enormous extent, chiefly to North America. From the port of Bremen alone no less than 57,000 persons have taken their de parture this year, and 8,000 of them left last month. In a recent communication from New York, it is re marked:—" An idea of the number of emigrants that have reached this city this year, may be formed from the fact, for which we are indebted to Major Fraser, that between the first of April and the first of October this year, the number of arrivals averaged eight hundred and ninety- six per day, or a fraction over thirty-three per hour. This is an increase of about thirty-five thousand on the number of arrivals during the same period last year. We have not, at present, the means of 'estimating the arrivals at other ports; but we should not be at all surprised if the in crease of cur population by emigration, will amount to 250,000 for the year 1849. When we consider the dis turbed condition of Europe fur the last year or eighteen months, we must infer that the emigration from that part of the world, during the next twelve months, will be much greater than it has been, or will be this year. Well, let them come. Both sides of our continent are settled, and the intermediate gap is open to the oppressed people of Europe." The Penguin brings advices from Rio de Janeiro. The elections had gone off well. The Coffee market was firm up to the 6th ult. On London tho rate of Exchange was 26d. Cape of Good Hope papers of Aug. 14 are still greatly occupied with the convict question, which loses, how ever, much of its interest, from the understood determi nation of Earl Grey to abandon the attempt. The Cape people, however, may yet carry a reasonable prejudice to en unreasonable extreme, for they bad sent abroad most damaging reports as to the character of the free immigrants just arrived, and according to the statement of the official emigration agent, upon the mere slight ground of one boy having Leen punished here for picking up in the streets a parcel, which he should have sought an owner for. The suspicion cast upon one or two other parties was proved to be wholly unfounded, and it will be no very encouraging welcome to an honest man to be inquisitorially visited noon his arrival in the colony. The Continental Stock Markets are reported still to have been rather dull. At Vienna Austrian Bonds on the 20th were at 95; and at Frank fort on the 22d, 86k. In the Amsterdam Market on Tuesday there were some important purchases of Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents., which closed well. The new Ministry was stated to be formed. The English Stock Market continues as quiet as for some days past. Consols have been 92 to 92k for Transfer, and 92 to 921 for Account. The New Three and a Quarter per Cents. have been 92 to 92k; and the Three per Cents. 904 Bank Stock has been rather dull at, 197 to 198. • Exchequer-bills have been litter at 425. to 453. premium. The market can barely be ca led so good either for funded or unfunded securities. India Stock has been 257. The Foreign Securities have been neglected, and even the important news from Madrid of the sudden changes in the Ministry have led to no speculation in Spanish Bonds, The Five per Cents. have been 16,-} and the Three per Cents. 34; Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 321 to 33k. Brazilian Small Bonds have been quoted 83k. Equador Stock ix 3,i, and Grenada 16. Mexican have declined to 26k Russian Bonds are steady at 107. Austrian Five per Cents. have been marked 90k, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 531 4.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY lIATNAU has retired in high dudgeon to Gratz, because the Red EMPEROR, terrified at the cry of execration with which Europe echoed against the murderers of the Hungarian patriots, dispatched Count GRUNNE to Pesth to put a stop to these judi cial assassinations. Who will now venture to sneer at the power of public opinion ? The material forces of the Red EMPEROR quailed before it, and the victor has been compelled by the expression of public opi nion to pause in his career of murder, and to recal from Hungary the hyena HAYNAU with his thirst for blood yet unslaked. The Magyars are, however, still subjected to every species of persecution short of death, and to every imaginable insult. A nephew of Count BATTHYANY has been incorporated as a Hussar in a squadron which forms the garrison at Tirppen, in Silesia. Many other noble Magyars are in the same regiment. It is rumoured in Vienna that several Ministerial changes are on the eve of taking place. Count Gyulai will, it is said, receive a high appointment in Italy, and be succeeded as Minister of war by Count Dahlcn. General :Schlick is spoken of as Civil and Military Governor of Hungary ; General d'Aspre as Military Governor of Gorz; Baron Kubeck and Ge neral Schonhalz are spoken of as the representatives of Austria, members of the Commission of the Interim Central Power. It is stated in a letter from Vienna of the 14th that the domain of Kcenigswarth, in Bohemia, belonging to Prince DE METTERNICH, has been sequestrated for delay in the payment of the taxes. Another letter from Vienna states that the Austrian Cabinet, after mature deliberation, had come to a resolution not to recognise any of the paper money issued by KOSSUTH. The same letter informs us that orders have been gig en that no more political executions are to take place without fresh instructions. The Austrian Government has just appointed the two Commissioners who, according to the terms con cluded with Prussia, are to represent Austria at the Central German Government. They are Baron KUBECK. and General DE SCInENALS. The Austrian Lloyd's says there is no truth in the account given by the Prussian Moniteur of the arrest of the ex-Minister PILLERSDORr. The subscriptions for the Austrian lean have reached the amount of seventy• one millions; but the subscribers not being able to make the payments in full within the time prescribed, which is ten months, the period has been extended to twenty months, and the Bank will take on itself to make the advances. PRUSSIA. We find the following in the Emancipation of Brussels :—" There is much talk at Berlin of the ifete which took place on the 19th at the Head Ma- HOLLAND. THE HAISUE, OCT. 22.—80th on Saturday night and on Sunday morning the KING had long con , ferences with the Councillor of State and Director o the Royal Cabinet, M. VON RAPPARD. It is asserted that M. TRORBECKE has presented to the KING the programme of those gentlemen whom lie recommended to his MAJESTY as Ministers. There is to be a Cabinet Council this afternoon at three o'clock. Prince FREDERICK came to town early this morning for the purpose of attending the Council. Many circumstances lead to the inference that the Ministerial crisis is near its termination, and indeed it is high time that the legal advisers of the Crown should be nominated. In regard to the prolonged Ministerial crisis the Handelsblad says— " It is now about a month since the Ministers ten dered their resignations, and all the steps which have hitherto been taken to form a new Cabinet have proved ineffectual. To whom must we attribute this fact, hitherto unparalleled in the constitutional history of kin{.,fdemtl? "Is Holland destitute of able and devoted men? We attribute this delay to other causes. The choice of his Ministers is one of the noblest prerogatives of kings, but the King, instead of himself naming the persons whom ho c ,, ttsiders worthy of being taken into his councils, deputes a third person to make thia selection, sad hence all the steps hitherto taken have been useless. "In our cpinion M. Thorbocke is the man for this critical moment, and he alone is capable of forming an energetic Cabinet. If he does not succeed in this ho will proceed to other measures; for instance, the disso lution of the Chambers, but we can expect no good result from either a compromised Cabinet or a coalition." The Stoats Courant publishes the supplementary nrticles of the Convention of I\layence for the navi gation of the Rhine. The document is dated August 30, and is countersigned by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Von LIGHTENVELT, in lieu of the Minister of Justice. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURGII, OCT. B.—The Pruss ian Invatia „ e publishes the order of the day addressed by his Tin perial Highness the GRAND DUKE, heir apparent, in his newly- appointed office of Commander in-Chief of the Military School. After adverting to his prede cessor in that office, the Grand Duke MictiAEL, who is justly eulogised for his fidelity and zeal in the dis charge of his dut3 , the GRAND DUKE goes on to say that his present appointment is the more agreeable to him, since he commenced his military career from those schools. His chief aim in his new office will be to maintain all those regulations which were made by the late GRAND DUKE for the benefit of the schools, and which have placed them on their present high footing Lastly, he calls upon the military them selves to testify by their daily walk in life, as well as by their military conduct, their gratitude for what was done for them by their departed paternal friend. All reports of these institutions are in future to be sent to the Grand Duke ALEXANDER.—Wiener Zeitung. A Russian corps of 60;000 men is to be cantoned during the winter along the Warsaw- Cracow line. A similar body is to he quartered in Warsaw and its en virons, and a corps of 40,000 men is to occupy the for tress of Zamosk.—Cologne Gazette. The Paris Presse, in a letter from Constantinople, 6th inst., gives the following details of the strength of the Russian and Turkish navy : "The present strength of the Russian navy in the Baltic is 1 ship of the line of 120 guns; 3 of 110; 15 of 84 ; 12 of 74; 30 of from 60 to 74; some corvettes and brigs, and about 20 steam-boats. In the Black Sea there are 3 ships of the line of 120 guns; 3 of 110; 7 of 74; 8 frigates of 60; and 10 of 44; some corvettes and brigs, and 25 steamboats. Tho latter of these two forces would be the only one with which Turkey would at present have to contend, for the Baltic fleet will very shortly be blocked up by the ice. The personnel of the Russian navy consists of 63 admirals, 72 captains first rank, 80 of the second rank, and 211 lieutenants ; the number of seamen is about 50,000. The officers are wanting in instructions and theory, and the men in practice. A proof of their want of skill was clearly shown at the battle of Navarino. The Turkish squadron under the orders of Mohouk Pacha consists of two vessels of 120 ; two of 100; three of 90; one of 84; one of SO; one of 56; and one of 44. ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 20th officially an nounces the modifications that have taken place in the Turin Ministry. M. GALVAGNO, late Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, has accepted the portfolio of the Interior, and M. MAT THIEU, Intendent- General of Cuneo, has been named ➢l.inister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Wcrks. The following circular has been addressed by the Prefect of Florence to the Gonfaloniers of his pro vince : Sir,—By a dispatch of the 14th instant, the Minis ter of the Interior directs the Gonfaloniers to revise and rectify the electoral lists according to Chapter 3 of the law on the subject of the 3d of March, 1848. This is a fact. which under the present circumstances is rather political than administrative, and affords a new proof of the straightforwardness of our excellent Prince and of this Government. He puts an end to the doubts and insinuations which the evil intentioned have spread in the minds of many good citinns, and thus deprives them of every hope of seeing their treasonable designs realised. You will understand the value of such an -act destined to rally all virtuous men around the constitutional throne, and to secure to Tuscany the advantages she deserves by her state of civilisation. —I have the honour, &c., " The Prefect, ZAMMINIATELLI. " Florence, Oct. 16." The following proclamation has been published al Piacenza, Duchy of Parma:— " Hi s R o yal Highness the Duke, desirous of pro. moting the wellatc of his subjects, has several times ordered the publication of the laws concerning the state of siege, that no one might plead ignorance of them. I take the opportunity thus offered me by the tender solicitude of the Prince to express to the inhabitants of this town and fortress all the satisfaction their good con duct and strict observance of th© laws bas caused me. However, in order to fulfil the excellent intention of his Royal Highness, and desiring to spare every one th e danger of incurring punishment, I think it my duty to remind the inhabitants that the articles 1,2, 5,8, 9, 10, and 11 of the proclamation of the 13th of March, 1814, are in full vigour. " The Commander of the fortress, Count TOROK. "Piacenza, October 4," The Legge of Turin of the 20th states that the Duke of PARMA has given the galley-slaves a new costume, and a hat exactly resembling the Calabrian one adopted by the Liberal party. Letters from Peschiera state that very extensive fortifications are being added to that fortress, with a view of preventing besiegers from taking possession of the heights which overlook Pesehiera. We read in a letter from Rome of the 14th, quoted by the Legge of Turin, that the late Deputies of the Constituent Assembly are to be divided into three classes—the first, consisting of those who voted against the Republic, is to be recalled ; the second, consisting of the moderate Republicans, is to be also recalled, but kept under surveillance ; but the third class is neither to be recalled nor amnestied. PAS QUALE DI ROSSI is the only ex-Deputy who at present remains unmolested at Rome. The .Genoa Gazette of the 19th announces the arrival at Ferrara of 300 Neapolitans, with some artillery, who had been at Venice. They again took their departure for Naples on the 14th. --- SUNDAY LABOUR. AT THE POST-OrrlCE. — We un derstand that within the last few days returns have been received at the General Post- - office, showing the great extent to which Sunday labour will be dimi nished in the country post-offices by the measures about to be brought into operation. It appears that in more than 200 offices at least one delivery on the Sunday will be abolished , and that in many cases the abolition will extend to two, or even three deli veries. This change alone will liberate several hundred officers. We learn also that of the regular post-offices alone there are nearly 500 where the time of duty on Sunday will be reduced, the average reduction being nearly four hours. The returns do not yet include the sub-offices, where there will be a decrease of duty; but of these there must be some thousands. These facts are sufficient to give some idea of the large number of persons who will be either partially or wholly released in the country offices from the performance of duty on the Sunday ; and we are assured that the s mall addition to the force in the London office required by the measures which will effect this great reduction will consist entirely of volunteers, and not, as has been. asserted, of persons acting under compulsion. Their work, too, as has already been stated, will be so arranged as not to infringe upon the hours of divine service. His Excellency Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer, the newly accredited Minister to the United States, accompanied by the lion. Lady Bulwer, leaves town tc-day for Liverpool, there to embark for New York, to enter on his diplomatic duties at Washington. Mr. Bulwer Lytton, son of the celebrated novelist, will also depart with his uncle, having been appointed `attache to the British Legation. Liverpool, Cro3by and Southport , - ..... • ••' ...

This morning, between one and two o'clock, a fire; broke out in the shop of Mr. Nelson, a tailor, of Flagon—, row, Deptford, and for a considerable time much anxiety • prevailed for the safety of the family. Messengers were sent to London for assistance, and in a short time tha-1 Southwark-bridge-road engine, as also that of the Wept of England, arrived. By this time, notwithstanditig-: very valuable aid was rendered by the authoritie s and a Deptford Dockyard engine, the entire property and. house of Mr. Nelson were one burning mass, and file names had also reached two adjoining houses, those of Mr. Cherry, stationer, and Mr. Brooks, butcher. The supply of water from the Kent mains having been made available for every engine, the London powerful reachinc threw their torrents on the flames, and, fortunately, by • three o'clock, the danger subsided, not, however, until, great loss of property and damages by removal.

Sut,—My prediction on the Criterion was verified to the letter, The Nigger, Pitsford, and Nutshell, running home first, second, and third. The Nigger's victory, as a matter of course, immediately advanced his stable com— panion, Ghillie Callum, to the premiership in the Derby betting, and I think it not very improbable but what he may head the favourites throughout the winter, and_ should Bee Hunter win the 2,000 Guineas, up to the• hour of starting; I will venture to predict Ghillie Cal.- lum's being priced in the Derby market at as little as 3- to 1 on or before the all-important day. The only stake in the present Newmarket meeting that now claims my attention is, " The Nursery," for which sixteen have accepted, out of thirty-nine nomina tions, viz : st.

Derby, and not altogether forgetting The Italian and Pontilex, take them as " forlorn hopes." Pitsford , Hardinge, Pontifea, Brother to Epirote or Bee Hunter must win the 2,000 Guinea Stakes; The Hunter for choice.

Macready appeared as King Lear last evening, for the first time this season. Lear has always been one of the most popular and picturesque of Macready'a Shaksperian impersonations, and he played Lear last evening perhaps better than he has ever played it before. The scene in which he curses his daughter was perfectly awe-inspiring, from the intensity which he threw into it, and the storm scene was give!' with a pathos that was heart-rending. The agonizing manner in which he bangs over the dead body er Cordelia was most touching, and the death scene of the " poor, weak, and despised old man," was one o f the most affecting ever witnessed on the stage. He was called for at the conclusion, and applauded to the echo. King Lear was acted, as it always should be. acted, from the version of Shakspere ; and the part o f the Fool preserved, which was admirably performed, by Miss P. Horton, who gave the little snatches 01 melody with which the part is interspersed with the most exquisite taste imaginable. Mrs. Warner gall to Goneril all her natural cruelty and arrogance; and Miss Reynolds made a most interesting Cordeba• Wallack's Edgar is the best that has appeared since the days of Charles Kemble, and Stuart as Kent we * excellent. The tragedy was admirably put upon the stage, and the house was crowded to suffocation. Miss Cushman made her re .appearance before An American audience on Monday, Oct. Bth, at th e r Broadway Theatre, New York, in the character °' Mrs. Haller. A more brilliant and enthusiastic re ception was never bestowed on an artiste. The Nev, York papers announce it as " a splendid triunlph, and state that " thunders of applause" greeted t he gifted lady on her entrance, and that " unequivoce; demonstrations of excitement and admiration market' the whole of her performance." The house vv6e literally crammed to suffocation, and hundreds Wer e unable to procure standing room. At the co nclusion of the play she was called for with a sort of n ational furore, furore, and American hands did ample honour icit American talent.
