ravages of the great fire of London, which had de stroyed so many edifices of a similar character, and been often generously lent by its owners, the Car penters' Company, to other bodies when the calamity above stated left them destitute of a place of meeting for the transaction of their corporate business. He hoped that that ball, which had so long been disused for re unions like the present,would yet be the happy scene of such jovial gatherings amid the civic festivi ties of many a future generation of the loyal and patriotic citizens of that great metropolis. Mr. Sheriff NrcoLL proposed the health of Mr. Alderman Farncomb, the Lord Mayor Elect, who bad long stood before the world in the capacity of a sheriff and an alderman of that city, and of whose great ability and integrity the citizens had shown their high sense by selecting him for their chief magistrate.—(Cheers.) Alderman FARNCOMB returned thanks, and said that- his earnest desire should be to give satisfaction to the citizens in the►ery important office to which they had appointed him. Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE then proposed " the City Members," which was duly acknowledged by Mr. Masterman, Mr. Sheriff Nicol:se next gave " Sir John Key and the Magistracy of the city of London." Sir J. KEY returned thanks. " The Lite Sheriffs, Mr. Alderman Finnis and Mr. Goodhart," were then drank ; and after a variety of other toasts appropriate to the occasion the company disperse i. The musical arrangements added much enliven ment to the evening. Mr. Harker ably officiated as toast- master. It may not be out of place to annex to our report of the foregoing proceedings the following interesting description of Carpenters Hall : " The site of Carpenters' Hall was acquired by the company in the year 1428, and in the following year a great hall' was built by them. Whether any part of this original hall be still standing, cannot be posi tively ascertained ; but the records of the Carpenters' Company, which (with the exception of a few years during a portion of the reign of Henry VIII.) pre sent an unbroken series of the accounts of the com pany since the year 1438, contain no notice of the subsequent erection of any hall, though they include constant entries of disbursements for extensive replica and additions. The present hall, therefore, if not built in the reign of Henry VI. (1429), must at least be as ancient as that of Henry VIII. " The suite of rooms in which the Court now hold their meetings was built in 1664, from the designs of Mr. John Wildgos, a member of the Court. The en trance hall and principal staircase leading to the court rooms were erected about the year 1780, from the design of Mr. William Jupp, father of the present clerk, Mr. Richard Webb Jupp. The entrance hall is richly decorated in basso relievo with emblematic figures mnel irnplemnts used in carpentry, curiously and prettily grouped, and with heads of Vitruvius, Inigo Jones, and Wren, designed by Bacon. The archway forming the entrance from the street was also built by Mr. William Jupp, and is sur mounted by a fine bust of Inigo Jones, likewise the work of Bacon. . •• v • " In • 1668-71 the great hall was extensively re • paired and decorat-d, and the present rich and beau tiful ceiling was put up under the direction of Mr. Warden Pope. There are good grounds for belief that the hall originally boasted one of those master pieces of ancient carpentry, an open timber roof, similar to those which still adorn a few of our old public buildings. The only window in the hall which possesses any claim to antiquity in at the eastern end. The stained glass contains the Royal arms, the City arms, with the date 1586, and the names of the masters and wardens of the company from 1627 to 1684. " On the western side of the hall a series of four fresco paintings, from scriptural subjects, connected with carpentry, was discovered in the year 1845, by a workman, who, in repairing the hall, tore away a part of the old canvas, by which they were concealed from view. There is evidence in the records of the com pany to show that these frescoes were executed about the year 1561. " The great fire of London, which, among its other ravages, deprived nearly all the City Compa nies of their halls, and many of them of their ancient records, did not reach Carpenters' Hall. Some of the less fortunate companies—among others, the Drapers', the Gold-miths', the Feltmakers', and the Weavers'—soon made application for permission to hold their meetings there, and the account books show that their demands were complied with. Shortly after the hall was let for a more important purpose, as is seen by the following extract from the minutes of a Court held the 12th October, 1666 : " It is ordered by this Court that the Right Hon. Sir William BJlton, Knt., Lord Major elect for the city of London (being by oocasion of the late lamentable fire destitute of a . fitt and convenient house to keep his Maloralty in, and desiring our hall and rooms for that purpose), shall and may be accommodated with our hall and garden, &c. " Three successive Lord Mayors, Sir William Peek , Sir Willi.zni Turner, and Sir Samuel Ster ling, suhxquently rented the hall during the years of tLcir 'Mayoralty." CO U l' CIRCULAR.

Our principal contemporaries have this morning expressed opinions upon the rupture between Russia and Turkey, consequent upon the refusal of the ex tradition of the Hungarian refugees now in the dominions of the Ottoman, entirely coincident with those expressed by ourselves yesterday. We cannot but offer our felicitations even upon the oc casion of the most tardy conversion. Had a somewhat earlier interference on the part of Great Britain, in regard to the lawless invasion of Hungary, taken place, Europe would not have had to witness a spectacle of such bloody ferocity, of such horrible atrocity, and of such diabolical vindictiveness as must call the blush to the face of those who have any faith whatever in the truth of Chti.- tianity. Had this miserable Whig Government possessed a less regard to the delights of place, and a somewhat more earnest affection for the honour of England, we should have been spared the contemplation of w ars such as are a disgrace to huma nity, and which set at defiance all our wretched boasts as to the progress of civilization. Had the Noble Statesman the Foreign Secretary been unincumbered by the timorous policy of his colleagues—had he been left free to follow the dictates of his own pa triotic and chivalric nature, there would have been no necessity for that agitation in behalf of the heroic compatriots of KCSSUTH which has spread through out the United Kingdom, and which has gone very far, indeed, to shake the stability of the present Ca binet. Another opportunity is, however, offered to the members of the Administration— an opportunity by the judicious employment of which they may expiate their prolonged shortcomings and regain their bygone popularity. Thanks to the distinguished diplomatist now repre senting her Britannic MAJESTY at Constantinople, a final chance has been afforded to the advisers of his SOVEREIGN to redeem themselves in the face of Chris tendom by vindicating the power, the fame, and the magnanimity of England. Will they do this ? Will they at once place the navy of Britain upon a footing worthy of our maritime supremacy ? Will they dispatch to the Golden Horn a fleet sufficiently powerful to enforce the line of policy adopted by Sir STRATFORD CANNING ? Will they participate with France the glory of repelling the audacious demands and insolent intimidation of the AUTOCRAT ? Will they support the SULTAN, the VIZIER, the Divan, the Seikhs, and the Ulernas in a course as noble, as it is daring ? Or will they so act in this emergency as to cart a slur of cruelty and cowardice upon the dogmas of Christianity as contrasted with the generous, heroic, and humane principles inculcated by Mahometanisrn ? Later intelligence from Constantinople announces that on the occasion of the British and French Ambassadors being summoned before the Divan to declare whether their respective Governments would sustain Turkey in its refusal in regard to the demand of extradition, Sir STRATFORD gallantly stated that the SULTAN might rely on the support of England, whereas General AUPICK contented himself with ob serving that he would write to Paris for fresh instructions. No wonder that our French contem poraries are unanimous in crying out with indigna tion at a proceeding so little honourable to the Republican representative. No wonder that even the organ of M. TRIERS, the Constitutionnel, should condemn the French Ambassador at Constantinople in words almost as energetic as those employed by the renowned Abbe DE LAMENNAIS, the new editor of the Reforme. Among ourselves, the same dispo sition to be unanimous in regard to these occurrences at the Dardanelles is beginning to be manifested. That organ which has harried on the assailants of Hungary with yells of sa tisfaction since the rise of KOSSUTH and the dowufal of GEORGEY, at last does not shrink from pronouncing the proceedings of the two EMPERORS to be fl igrantly in violation of the laws of nations as expressed in VATTEL, and of the first dictates of humanity as experienced even by uncivilized commu- That organ, again, which has rendered itself anenviably conspicuous by becoming the panegyrist of the Autocrat NICHOLAS, confesses at length that the imputations here levelled at the CZAR are in truth so hideous as to be barely credible. The journal which is generally recognised as the mouthpiece of those fantastic gentlemen, the Apostles of Arbitra tion, does not shrink from avowing that the interposition of the British Government would at any rate in this instant be eminently justifiable; while another newspaper, so hysterically alarmed at the mere idea of democracy as to be Cisposed generally to rush for protection into the arms of Absolutism, cannot now restrain its senti ments of abhorrence and amazement at the monstrous ultimatum submitted to the Divan by the hands of Prince RADZIYILL. Neither in France nor in Eng land, neither among Radicals nor Conservatives, among civilians nor among the members of the two warlike professions, will there be found in the pre sent instance any difference of opinion whatever. Of that we are satisfied; and it is that convic tion which sustains us in tho belief that ni ties. SUN the two Governments now represented at t Constantinople, so inadequately by General AUFICK, and so nobly by Sir STRATFORD CANNING, will be compelled Lon gre mal gre to act as the good and faithful allies of the brave-hearted young Sultan- Caliph ABDULMESCHID• Before many weeks have elapsed, we shall doubt less be honoured by the presence in England of the indomitable BEM, the resolute DEMBINSKI, the de voted GUYON, the daring PERCZEL, the incorruptible MEssaaos, and, the most glorious man amongst them all, the great LOUIS KOSSUTH. Our countrymen, we doubt not for one instant, will know how to welcome these illustrious fugitives—these soldiers and statesmen for whose blood the Austrian and Russian EMPERORS are thirsting. During the whole period of the recent movements of Hungary it has been seen how the leaders of the Magyars have not tarnished their sacred cause by the commission of one crime. It has been seen that their policy has throughout been the reverse of that policy which in stigated the leaders of the first French Revolution to the perpetration of so many stupendous atrocities, which caused MARAT to yearn for 30,000 heads, which prompted DANTON to organize the hideous massacres of September, and which has branded the memory of ROBESPIERRE with everlasting infamy, as the democrat whose egotism and ferocity have cast the vilest slur upon the holy cause of Democracy. Unlike these men, the Hun garian patriots have excited the admiration of Europe by their valour, their statesmanship, their genius for strategy, and their freedom from a single imputation of cruelty. England will know how to receive such refugees from Hungary. Upon that we have not a moment's reason for anxiety. Would to Heaven we were as secure that the English Cabi net knows how to support the resolve of the Sultan- Caliph ABDULMESCHID. The Protectionists are already exhibiting symp toms of insubordination. They have been so long accustomed to oppose every proposition for the gene ral good of the community, that they cannot co operate with their recognised leader, incomparably the most brilliant and talented member of their party. Monopoly has been so long their guiding star, that any suggestion not based thereon excites their indig nation and provokes their hostility. The new motto put forward by the Hon. Member for Buckingham shire, which he desires should henceforward be in scribed on their banners—" Equal taxation and cheap capital"—is by far too equitable not to encounter the warmest opposition from the inveterate sticklers for ancient abuses. " Cheap capital," implying a moderate rate of interest for money, and a circulating medium sufficient to afford a proper stimulus to the national industry, and to provide adequate employment for the labouring ' population, is diametrically opposed to all their feelings and prejudices. They have too long im plicitly obeyed the orders and followed the directions of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tam worth, to join in a demand that would, if fully carried out, enforce the immediate abolition of the monetary code established under his auspices. They will, therefore, still look for exclusive advantages for themselves, but not co-operate in procuring altera tions that must lead to the welfare and prosperity of the community at large. They will not aid in pro curing a reform that would afford real "protection to British industry" in the most extensive signification of the terms. The standard of rebellion against the leadership of Mr. DISRAELI was unfurled by the Rev. Sir G. ROBINSON, Bart., at the meeting of the Northampton shire Agricultural Society, held at Kettering on the 27th of September. The Rev. Baronet, it appears, is a Tory of the good old school, who holds such heretical doctrines as " the greatest good to the greatest number" in the moat unqualified abhorrence. What is it to him if the farmers should be ruined and driven to bankruptcy by the heavy burdens to which they are subjected ? They must submit in patience, and not dare to utter the slightest hint in favour of a " reduction of rents," or conceive a schisma'ical notion against the "right divine" of the landlords. They must submit in silence, or at least only raise their " most sweet voices" in obedience to the instrootlows of thowe who desire to be looked upon, not merely as their "spiritual,' but also as their "political" guides. What is it to him if the labourers should undergo the deepest priva tions in their humble abodes, while they are remaining idle and unproductive, although both able and willing to give a "fair day's work in return for a fair day's wages." Let them endure their sufferings patiently ! Let them not murmur under the dispensations by which they are afflicted. If they cannot procure a sufficiency of the coarsest food, of the commonest necessaries of life, is not the union workhouse at hand ? Do not its gates stand invitingly open ? Let them have recourse to its tender mercies ! Let them submit to an incarceration more rigid than that which is inflicted on convicted criminals—to regulations more stringent than those by which even felons are bound. Let them consent to a separation from all that is dear or valuable in existence ; from the heartbroken partners of their cares and sorrows, more dear from the mutual sufferings in which they have participated ; from their helpless offspring. These necessary evils must be borne patiently ; but let them not venture to call out for " cheap capital," or to be permitted to bring their only possession, their labour, for free and open competition, into the market, or ask for fair employment at remunerating prices. That would indeed 132 committing the " un pardonable sin" that would justly provoke the pious wrath of the Reverend Baronet. In speaking of Mr. DISRAELI'S brilliant oration, the Rev. Gentleman said— " That accomplished orator appeared to him to make, in his recent spf ecb, a great( r use of his ingenuity than of his in:, , enuousness. Skilful as is the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Buckinghamshire, I much doubt whether his extraordinary theory of cheap capital' is very intelligible. I am at a loss to know where the farmer is to turn to borrow money to work the land. How he can gel it cheaper than the cotton spinner passes my comprehension. 1 would suggest to Mr. Disraeli that ho is duing harm rather than good by suggesting im practicable expedients, which distract our attention, and divert us from the only real source of relief. Thus, gentlemen, I can neither cut capers with Lord Brougham nor go to California with Mr. Disraeli." Here is the old Tory leaven with a vengeance. The valuable suggestions of Lord BROUGHAM, as to farmers' accounts, clod-crushing, application of steam to agriculture, or the various other improvements that flash upon that distinguished genius, cannot be accepted because they have not been originated by one of the right kidney, deeply imbued with all the Protectionist views and prejudices. Mr. DISRAELI must also be thrown overboard, because he cannot keep his " cheap capital" for the exclusive use of the farmers—because it "passes the comprehension" of the Rev. Orator how the agriculturists are to borrow money "cheaper than the cotton spinners." If manufacturers should partici pate in the general welfare and prosperity, it would not be welcomed by Sir G. ROBINSON. Better that there should be universal distress than that the hated race should enjoy any portion of worldly advantages. Like llAsure, the son of HAMMEDATHA the Agagite, although exulting in "the glory of his riches, and all the good things to which the King had promoted him," he might ex claim, " Yet all this availeth me nothing so long as I see MoRDEcm the Jew sitting at the King's gate." No change would be acceptable so long as the mill owners and factory operatives are not taxed for the benefit of the landowners. We trust, however, that the farmers will not be hoodwinked by such vague and empty declamation, or induced to join in the antipathies of the clerical " Boanerges" to the sacrifice of their own best interests. Their lots are cast with those of the people. They live by their honest industry, and they must rise or fall with the great body of the popula tion, who " earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brows." They complain, azi , with but too much reason, of the excessive taxa‘n under which they behold the fruits of their toiNtarried away in payment of some impost or another. Let them con sider that " cheap capital" is but another word for "cheap taxation." The burdens by which they are oppressed have been more than doubled by the great depreciation of money produced by the monetary codes of 1819 and 1844. Sir CHARLES WOOD may boast that thirty millions of taxes have been abolished since the termination of the thereof, so nine t millionso p ay n e ly have r is benefited en en b e e fited im t p o o t s h e e d il lieu 1 e x tent LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 2, 1849. of twenty-one millions sterling, but he can scarcely &my that fifty-six millions are now to all intents and purposes, as difficult to be obtained, and, indeed, in every respect equivalent to twice the amount in 1814 or 1815—so that in place of there being a reduction of twenty-one millions, there has been a practical increase of thirty-five millions in the amount of taxation. Twice the quantity of commodities, twice the corn of the farmer, or twice the calico of the manufacturer, must be given to realise the sums handed over to the tax gatherer. The ablest and most powerful organ of the bullionists recently admitted that the pound sterling will now. command twice as much of the necessaries or luxuries of life as it would hare done thirty-five years since. In other words, the " pur chasing power" of the pound is increased to that ex tent, and every tax, every debt, every fixed liability, rents, and, as Sir G. ROBINSON well knows, " tithe composition," are at least doubled. The appreciation in the value of money that has taken place has ope rated as a check to production. The farmer who is compelled to devote the price of one hundred quarters of wheat, when money is appreciated, to pay the rent and taxes of his farm, which he could formerly have done with sixty quarters, has forty quarters less for other purposes than he calculated on when he signed his lease. The millowner who must give a thousand pieces of calico in place of six hundred is also injured to the same extent. If a serious depreciation that reduced the value of money should inflict some degree of injustice on the few, " appre ciation" is injustice to the many, a fearful injury to the bees in the national hive, for the benefit of the drones, who would feast in idleness on the fruits of the labours of the meritorious industrious classes. The farmers are not such dolts as not to perceive on which side of the question their real interests are involved, and they will follow their true friend, Mr. DISRAELI, in demanding " equal taxation and cheap capital," rather than Sir G. ROBINSON, who, himself a capitalist and landowner, would naturally advocate the principles likely to increase the rate of interest for money and to enhance rents. 'r RE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They do not in general make any observations on the intelligence from Constantinople, waiting, doubtless, for some official announcement from the Government to the Assembly, on the subject. There is, however, one most important exception, and that is the Journal des Debate. This journal which, since the days of CHATEAUBRIAND, has under all circumstances manifested a chivalrous regard for the preservation of French honour, comments on the recent occurrences in Turkey in the following manly style -6 ` Civiliz?d Europe can have nothing but eulogies on this occasion for the Sultan and his Ministers, and we hope that it will not leave them to defend alone in this world the cause of honour, and humanity, and the sacred principles of public law. Should it be true, as it is said, and which we cannot bring our selves to believe, that the Russian Government has actu ally in a note to the Divan, pretended that France has herself betrayed hospitality, and that she has consented to surrender political refugees who have asked an asylum at her hands, we would protest with all our might against so astounding an assertion. If we have ourselves, as citizens, freely discussing in a free country, been sometimes obliged to say that power in France had not always fallen into worthy hands, yet speaking now to Europe, we believe the most dignified course would be, to affirm, as we do affirm, that of all the Go vernments we have ever yet experienced the very worst never proved itself capable of such shameful weakness. We accordingly believe that the Government will sane• ticn the simple and dignified attitude of its ambassador at Constantinople. The initiative which he has, in con cert with the British Ambassador, taken on himself, ought not to be disavowed; and if, above all others, we detest the most remote resemblance to propagandism, or a presumptuous interference in the affairs of others, we still feel that being consulted on such a question, and under such circumstances, the representatives of the two most liberal powers of Europe could not have made any other reply than that offered, by Sir Stratford Canning and General Aupick." The Journal des Debats expresses in this instance the s.mtiments of the great majority of the French people, and we trust that the Government of the Republic will not hesitate to show itself in accord ance with the French people, by at once interfering to protect the SULTAN against the attacks of Russia and her vassal. An intervention in favour of huma nity at Constantinople would go far to wipe out the discredit attached to the intervention against repub licaniam in 11...rne. The Riforme oc yesterday appears underltbe=editor ship of the Abbe LamENNAis, the former editor, M. RIBEYROLLES, having been obliged to exile himself in order to escape the prosecutions of Royalists whom he had opposed so energetialv. He will neverthe !eis continue his support to the Reforrne from a foreign land. The National publishes a letter from Brest which states that the war steamer Archimede is lying at anchor in the roads, fully equipped for sea, to convey to Madagascar the parties accused of having partici pated in the insurrectionary movement of June last. A new Democratic journal is about to he published in Paris under the direction of M. FLocort. It will be called the Revolution of 1848. It is announced that M. PIERRE, BONAPARTE has been sent on a temporary mission to Algeria. The French Ministry have adopted the de cided, and therefore, the safest plan, as regards the National Assembly and the affairs of Rome. The Assembly met yesterday, and immediately that it was ascertained there was a House the Minister of Foreign Affairs ascended the tribune and read as follows : " The expedition to Rome has occasioned certain expenses which were not foreseen by the law of May 19, 1849, and which require supplementary credits. Bills for that purpose will be presented to you by the Ministers of War and Marine. The bill I have the honour to present is for the like purpose, and demands 140,0001. This sum is destined to cover not only the expenses incurred up to the present, but those to be in curred to the 31st of December next. The Government of the Republic does not, as you perceive, think that the moment is come for recalling the army from the Roman states. A thorough examination of the motives for which the expedition was undertaken, the results obtained, and the present state of the negotiations will induce you, we think, to agree with us in tech opinion. In demanding credits to caner the next three months, we seek to provide for every eventuality, and we demand the means of being able to meet them without, however, renouncing the hope of terminating sooner an occupa tion which has been glorious for our arms, but which we should put an end to as soon as the political interests and honour of France are assured. The Government desir ing that all the questions connected with the affsir of Rome may be embraced in their ensemble, and seen in their true light, we propose to submit these demands for supplementary credits to the same committee." The Minister of War then presented a demand for a supplementary credit above the 1,200,000 francs already granted, for 6,607,900 francs. The Minister of Marine demanded 1,945,200franc5. Themotion for reference to the same committee was agreed to ; and, after the presentation of some local projects by the Finance Minister, the House adjourned. It is said that the French Government have ex pressed their cordial.'-upproval of the conduct of General AuricK in Constantinople, and that they have ordered the French troops to concentrate on the Piedmontese frontier, for the purpose of marching into Lombardy should Austria invade Servia. A dramatic version of the conquest of Rome by OUDINOT has been brought out at the Porte St. Martin. The representatives of the POPE, the Car dinals, and ecclesiastics are hooted at, while the actors who represent GAEIUALDI and MAzzol are received with shouts of applause. PARIS BOURVE, OCT.

'l' IT NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY. NnGENT has been recalled from the command of the besieging army before Comorn, and IlmrNAu has been appointed in his place. The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th ult. announces the nomination of the Archduke ALBERT to the com mand in chief of the army of Bohemia, which will consist of 40,000 men, with 12 batteries of artillery. The same official journal publishes an ordonnance by the military and civil governor, dated 24th, stating that resistance, even unarmed, to the police and municipal guard, shall be treated in the same way as unarmed resistance during the subsistence of the state of siege, and as such shall be amenable to the military tribunal. _ _ _ The EMPEROR has approved of the propositions of the Minister of Commerce for the i❑troduction of various postal reforms. The following are some of the principal proposi. tions The pre-payme.:t of letters by means of post tge stamps affixed is generally introduced. The postage of letters is reduced to three krentnrs (rather more than one penny) to the distance of sixty leagues inclusive, and to six kreutzers, 2+1., to every distance, however remote, exceeding sixty leagues. This rate of postage is applicable to the single letter not exceeding half an ounce (Austrian) in weight. The rate is doubled for every weight ex ceeding the half-ounce. The unfortunate Hungarians are every day subjected to fresh cruelties. JOSEPH VON RUDNIANSKY, Bishop of Marbeal, has just received his sentence from the court martial at Pesth ; he is not only to be deprived of his bishopric, but is to be placed in close confinement for six years. The ex-Minister TANG'S was carried in chains to the prison of Newgebande, where Baron TEEENGI, President of the Board of Magnates, is also confined. Mr. SCHWAB, the principal Rabbi of the Jewish community, has been sentenced to six years' close confinement for having preached a political sermon. RADETSKT is so disgusted with the vindictive course pursued towards the Hungarians that he has declared hii intention not to take any part for the future in the conferences on Hungary. A new customs tariff h about to be published, enacting among other reforms the abolition of the monopoly of tobacco. AUSTRIA, RUSSIA, AND TURKEY. VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—A Russian courier en route for Constantinople passed through the capital last night. He is said to be the bearer of an ultimatum to the Porte, demanding the delivery of the Hun garian refugees, and likewise defraying a portion of the expenses of the war from the fact of having fa voured and harboured the rebels. It is still positively asserted that the coronation of the EMPEROR will take place before the end of the year • it is probable that the taking of Comorn w ill decide the exact period of this event. The empowered Commission of Slavonia, which is now at Vienna, has presented a memorial to the Ministry, in which the two following points are given as the general „lesire of the Slavonian nation. " 1. That the Constitution Octroy ee of the 4th of March be solemnly published in the Slavonian nation in the German and Slavonian languages. " 2. That the Slavonian North Hungarian nation be severed from the Magyars under the ancient designation of Slowakie, Slowenski, and, together with the Servian Way wodina, be constituted into divided crown lands, and be subject immediately to the high government of the State."— German Papers. NORWAY. CEFRISTIANIA, SEPT. 2l.—The Norwegian officers of marine who took service in the Danish navy during the war have received permission to go on furlough to their own country. The Danish Minister of War, in writing to the Norwegian Commander of Marines, expresses the highest satisfaction at their nasal prowess, as well as at the personal character of those gentlemen. TURKEY. A letter, published in the French Journal des Debate, date& 15th September, gives the following history of the negotiations which had taken place up to that date on the sutject of the extradition of the Hungarian refugees : " Oa the day after his arrival Prince Radzivill was received by the Sultan, but the audience was one of mere ceremony. Two days after the council assembled. The sitting was a very stormy one ; opinions were di vided ; but the great majority, among whom were all the most influential members, and particularly the Grand Vizier, the Seraskier, and Seheik ul-Isittirs, were in favour of refusing the extradition. The Dragomans of Austria and Rtiss'a are every day besieging the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, demanding a positive answer. On Saturday a con ference took place at Batta Liman, between the Grand Visier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Ministers of Russia and Austria, and Prince Radzivill, which lasted a long time. Arguments on both sides were exhausted, when M. de Titoff, the Russian Ambassador, rose and said, Well, then, it is a refthal." No,' replied the Grand Vizier, only we beg the Emperor, since cur conscience will not allow us to give those men up, to confide them to our care, and the Sultan pledges himself to guard them faithfully. so that there can never be any danger for the tranquil lity of his states.' The conference was then broken up, and an answer to the above effact handed to the Minis ters of Russia and Austria. To-day Prince Ractilvill had an audience to take leave. Th.re is a talk of send ing a Turkish functionary on an extraordinary mission, with letters from the Sultan for the Emperors of Russia and Austria." A letter of the 16th says : " Yesterday, after the ultimatum handed to the Porte by the Russian and Austrian Ministers, Ge• neral Aupick decided on detaining the Telemaque steam-packet for twenty-four hours, in order to an nounce the result of that step to his Government. I take advantage of this circumstance to add some de• tails to those I sent you yesterday. It was only this evening that the reply of the Divan to that ultimatum was made known. This morning . the Minister of Fo reign Affairs addressed to the French and English Mi nisters a note in which he put the following questions to them;-1. Do the treaties of Kutchuck•liemardji, and of Passarovitch give the two powers, Russia and Prus sia, the right to demand the extradition of the Hunga rian refugees?-2. Would the refusal of the Sultan to deliver them up be an infraction of thcse treaties?-3. Could the two Powers, in consequence of such reused, declare war against the Porte?-4. In the event of the two powers declaring war, would England and France support Turkey with an armed force ?-5. Are the refugees claimed by Russia the /subjects of that power ?-6. In case the refusal of the Porte should only cause a rupture of relations between the avail and the Ministers of the two demanding Powers, and a state of coolness more or less prolonged of those two Powers toward Turkey, would France and England in • terfere to re-establish the relations on thi it former footing? Soon after the receipt of this communication the French and English Ambassadors had a con ference, and decided on replying by a collective note, which was delivered in the course of the day to the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs. The reply, if I am well informed, is as follows :—On the first question. No ; the treaties alluded to do not confer the right on Austria sad Rus;is. On the second ques tion. No; the refusal of the Porte would not be any infraction of the treaties. On the third question. It cannot be admitted that such a refusal c iuld be followed by a declaration of war, and such a declaration, if it took place, would be unjustifiable. On the fourth question. The two ambassadors cannot guarantee the co-operation of the armed forces of England and France without receiving special instructions. On the fifth question. It is possible that some of the refugees claimed by Russia may be still subjects of that power, but for the generality of them it is incontestable, that the refugees, whose extradition is demanded, are not Reagan subjects. On the sixth question. Yes, France and England will actively interfere with Russia and Austria to re-establish good relations between these two powers and the Porte. There can be no doubt, in my opinion, but that this note will powerfully contribute to main tain the Porte in its former determination ; that the ultimatum will be rejected, and that there will result a rupture of relations between the Russian and Aastriau Ministers and the Divan. But a declaration of war for such a motive would appear such an odious act that we can barely admit its possibility. There is, however, everything to be dreaded on the part of a power such as Russia, and Europe will do well to be on its guard." A third letter, dated tha 17th, says— " Yesterday, in consequence of the receipt of the col lective note of the French and English Ambassadors, in reply to the questions addressed to them by the Porte, the Council assembled at the residence of the Minister of War, when it was unanimously de cided that no change should be made in the previous resolutions. The minutes of the conference, signed by all the members except the physician in chief, Abdultez Effendi, who is devoted to Russia, and who was not present, was sent to the palace and received the signs• ture of the Sultan. Thus the refusal of the Porte to yield to the ultiniatuin of Russia and Austria is defini tive, and General Aupick to-day sends off an express to meet the Telemaque at Athens, and convey intelligence to his Government of what has taken place. Fuad Effendi, a commissioner of the Porte iu the principali ties, has been chosen to proceed on an extraordinary mission to the Emperor of Russia, to convey the answer of the Sultan to the letter brought by Prince Radzivill. He will set off immediately for St. Petersburgh, E ven t s are urgent—France and England have not a moment to lose if they wish to place in the scale the weight of their counsels and their influence, and thereby prevent more serious complications." The letter-carriers have agreed to memorialise the Post-office authorities for the purpose of puttin g a sto p to the present system of sending coin and enclosures of value through the post. They repudiate, as a class, although a badly paid one, wholesale strictures upon their honesty, founded upon the losses of whivh p q rtie s sending money in lettere complain. 1 T A Y. The Giornale di Roma of the 221 states that the affairs of the Roman Bank having been investigated, it is found that the interests of the proprietors have been completely protected during the late troubles. A meeting of the proprietors is eallcd by the directors for the 7th December next. The Concordia of Turin says, the pretended armis tice of the POPE is in fact an act of excommunica tion. Everyone is leaving Rome. Among the exiles most distinguished are MASI, MORELLI, GAucci, PASQSJALIS, CALDERARI, and General ZAMBONI• There is universal discontent and complaint, there being scarcely a family who does not smart under the miscalled act of clemency of the PONTIFF. M. DE CORCELLES has, it is said, taken several of the proscribed under French protection, and has engaged himself for their safety. The Chamber of Deputies of Turin have authorised the collection of the taxes for the ensuing quarter. I:ONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a pretty general trade demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, but not for large parcels. Brazil and Egyptian were 11,avy of sale at a decline of id. per lb. The sales were estimated at nearly 6,000 bales, of which 1,200 American NiN re taken on speculation and for export. The transactions comprised froth 4 500 to 5.000 bales American; 150 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 5P., 250 Surat at 44. to 40., and 50 Sea Island at 9,1 d. to l Id. per lb.—ln Railway Shares only a limited buainess was done. We regret to find by private letters received this morning from Manchester, that trade is quite as dull as the local journals have lately represented it to be, but still with a fair prospect of returning activity. Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, write us that " with occasional, but momentary alleviation, the aspect of this market from the commencement to the close of the month has been one of increasing dul ness and depression, a state of things rendered necessarily more manifest by the extraordinary activity which pre vailed two months ago. However, though operations have been conducted on a limited scale, and made available to existing wants, and though they are much behind those of August in extent, they are much greater than what might have been expected from outward appearances, as will be found verified by a reference to the sales, with the exception of nearly every range of Water Twist, and almost all descriptions of Long and 'l'. Cloths, with the heavy makes of Domestics and Moleskins, which are not only very heavy in stock, but unremunerative to the producers. Stocks are by no means large. Prices, which are generally lower than they were at the end of August, are becoming very irregular. Whilst one class of producers may be found demanding compara tively high prices, another class with the completion of existing contracts is anticipating lower rates by yield ing timely concessions. The demand for the country trade, though somewhat improved during the present week, has been very far from what it should be at this season of the year. We believe this to be the opinion of nearly all those engaged in it. The visitation of the cholera, now happily subsiding, has no doubt exercised in many districts a very prejudicial influence; and the results of railway speculation, with the present depreciated value of railway property, are not unattended with injurious effects upon this essentially important source of national prosperty. As regards the commercial ad vices by the last " Overland Mail," they arc favourable with respect to the markets of Bombay and Calcutta, but most unfavourable in reference to China. Beyond a little more inquiry, the accounts from it dia have produced no effect here; nor are they likely so to do, while prices abroad and at home continue to render adventures unprofitable nerally. We con tinue to recognize the elements of prosperity, and attri bute the present inactivity mainly to the high price of cotton, to the high prices necessarily demanded here, and to the extraordinary amount of business transacted during the preceding e:even months." The Royal Mail steamer Medway, from the West Indies, has unexpectedly arrived several days before she is due. The accounts as to the weather are for the most part satisfactory, and there is a prospect of fair crops. In Demerara sugar making was in progress,and in Barbadoes Trinidad and the neighbouring islands it had turned out well. An important period had commenced for Jamaica, viz., the opening of the Legislative session, but already there had been indications of a party spirit, at the very time when harmony is so essential. The Governor pro mised retrenchment and counselled reform, but the parrot cry of prJtection drowns still every call for energy. Lima correspondence, received by private firms here, states that the country was perfectly tranquil. The markets were rather depressed owing to the large quantity of goods sent for California. From South Australia there is intelligence of May 29 by ship direct. Four emigrant ships had arrived out, viz., the Stebonbeath, Ancient Briton, William Hyde,' and the German vessel Dockenhinden. The passengers generally were well. Burra Barra mine shares realised 162. Captain Beevor, a very old and highly respected settler, had been barbarously murdered in his own hut, by a party of natives, and wiihout the slightest pro vocation. Nothing has yet been heard of the steamer duo from Halifax. _ _ The Bourse reports, received this morning, ndvise a slight decline in prices at Paris, and very tittle doing at Amsterdam, where the Two•and-a-llalf per Cents, were quoted 54. The quotation at Vienna on the 26th ult. was 96 for the Mt talcs, and at Frankfurt on the 29 h there was no particular change. There has been a fluctuating market for public securities, and the decline taking yesterday's closing and this morning's lowest • value, is about one-halt per cent. Consols which left off yesterday at 92k have been done at 91i and 92 for Money, and are now 92 to Time bargains have been eff.cttd at 92 to 92i, and the quotation at present is 92i to k. 'The state cf the political relations between Rus sia and Turkey is of course the predispo:ing cause of the sensitiveness of the market, and upon it there have been rather heavy sales. Exchtquer.bills have realised 38s to 41%, and India Bonds 74-s premium. East India Stock has been quoted 257. The Foreign Securities have been flat, by sympathy with Consols. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 16/ and the Three per Cents. 23. Portu guese Four per Cents are nominally 29 to 30 ; Buenos Ayres are dull at 40, a Liurther decline ; Grenada Bonds realise 16i ; Mexican have been 2611 ; and Pe ruvian 53. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 5241 to 5* The Railway Share Market is without the least buoy ancy, and the business doing is very restricted. Great Western Shares hare not been quite so good. North• Western are much the same, and Midland nominal. North British are firmer, and South-Eastern and Cale donia barely so good. The French lines are lower. o.;t. O'OCLCR.
