Numerous as are those grievances in the manage ment of the British Navy to which we have already very recently made allusion, they constitute only a fractional portion of the evils requiring to be gradually rectified and ultimately dissipated in that department of the public service of England. The impossibility of promotion to junior officers without interest is sufficiently deplorable. The extravagant increase of admirals and post-captains to a number preposterously superfluous when contrasted with the maritime forces of all the other nations of Europe, or even with our own marine power during the time of our bloodiest wars with NAPOLEON, is a piece of prodigality and ostentation enough to provoke the reprehension of the least economical. The total absence of any rational system for the manning of our vessels of war is another and an ample testimony of the want of some complete re-organization in the conduct of the Admiralty. Important, however, as are these themes for consideration, among those who would further the cause of reform in the Royal Navy of England, they are nevertheless in a great measure subordinate to a matter not . yet, or at least not very recently, referred to by ourselves, a matter affecting the very basis of our strength as an empire, at once insular, colonial, and commercial. We allude now to the egregious want of all reasonable forethought, of all wholesome thrift, and of all mo derate circumspection in the construction of those great instruments of our national grandeur, of our imperial supremacy, and of our mercantile aptitude, upon the conservation of which not only our fame and our vigour, but our influence and our very existence are dependent. We allude to the faults perceptible in the regulation of our dockyards. We allude to the deficiencies visible in the plans from which our war vessels have hitherto emanated. We allude to the squandering, the blundering, the timi dity of improvement, and the destructive procrastina tion which glare upo❑ us whenever we have the heart to investigate the chaos of our arrangements fur ship building, the labyrinth of our schemes of naval archi tecture. _ _ According to the notorious custom of our maritime administrators, the vessels of war constructed to sustain our greatness on the ocean, to protect our enormous commerce, and to bind together our vast and scattered dominions, are brought forth through more perils and agonies than man himself, the grandest of all the miracles of creation. In the navy of England the labours of animal parturition are unutterably surpassed. Talk of the sufferings and difficulties consequent on utero-gestation, forsooth, hear tell of those coming under the cognizance of our maritime accoucheurs, of the male midwives of the dockyard, and be dumb ! Of all the disclosures of a like kind, commend us to the obstetric revelations of our shipwrights for whatever is most marvellous, preternatural, and very nearly b!?yond the limits of comprehension. It will there be seen, that while humanity requires at the most only a preparation before birth of some nine months, a vessel destined to bear "the flag that's braved a thousand years the battle and the breez-," must needs be allowed tarrying. time before birth of a period of the most unconscion• able duration. It is calculated that on the average— just as the gravedigger iu Hamlet says, ruminatively, " a tanner may last you some seven year"—a ship of war may last you some fifteen or twenty years. And yet, knowing well enough the abbre viated existence of this noble species of machine, our sage and most circumspect shipwrights, with the connivance and it may be the direct encouragement of the Admiralty, allow the vessels to continue year after year on the stocks until the wood is positively decayed—new (I) frigates and three deckers sometimes absolutely rotting before they are launched " Thrift, thrift, Horatio!" these superintendents of our national supremacy over the seas are assuredly testifying very conspicuously in all this their incapacity to sustain the maritime , character of England. Here, for example, they lessen the already sufficiently brief vitality of our ships of war on the shallow pretence that delays are necessary for the purpose of seasoning the timber ! although they know well enough t h at not merely the difference between allowing wood to ripen or to rot, to become seasoned or to decay, but that absolutely no delay whatever, or, at least, no delay worthy of the name, is requisite.to effect any such object. That consideration, however, only calls to mind another odious and miserable characteristic of the high, mighty, and puissant Seigniors presiding over Admiralty—namely, their disinclination to to any project of improvement, how ever fe i nfiible, however simple, or however economical ; nay, the very circumstances of • THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 20 1819. its feasibility, its simplicity, and especially of its , economy, appear to raise insurmountable obstacles to its adoption in that department. This was sufficiently shown, we conceive, in the instance of that felicitcus invention by which the necessity of delays for the purpose of seasoning the timber would have been entirely obviated. Those who are familiar with ' the records relating to the efficiency of the British Navy, cannot possibly have lost a recollection of the first disclosure of this important invention. A. ship, called if we recollect rightly, the Samuel Enderby, was subjected to the preparation of corrosive subli mate employed in the system called Kyanizing, and after going through the customary voyages it proved to be not only sound throughout, but, on examination, not a single sick case had been recorded in the log book, and even the very bilge-water was found to be sweet and limpid ! Yet an admirable discovery like this is permitted to pass by unadopted, and the vessels of war, with a limited existence before them of only fifteen or twenty years' duration, are still retained on the stocks, rotting under sheds erected to keep them from the inclemency of the weather, before they are attempted to be launched ? While this wretched economy is still persisted in, we are gratified to observe some tendency to improve ment in another direction—namely, in the adaptation to vessels of a larger size of steam, working through the aid of the screw propeller. By such an arrange ment as this it is obvious that a marvellous increase of capability must result to some of the noblest ships in the navy of England. Fitted up with the screw, each of them is transformed, as it were, from an in animate log, dependent upon tide, wind, and canvass, into a creature literally " walking the water like a thing of life"—breathing, palpitating, and gifted, so to sptak, almost with the faculty of volition. An extenion of this provident scheme of blending the powers of steam with those of the el(11,r system of navigation cannot but effect much towards the development of the long abused and still dormant capacities of the maritime service of Great Britain. On& glimpss of improvement, one long vista of mismanagement has here been disclosed to the realer ; other evils of an equally prejudicial character, relating to the structure of our war vessels, still remain unnoticed--evils which we shall not fail to particularize, demanding as they do our most serious reprehension. Notwithstanding the assertions of those who de clared that it is utterly useless to bring encumbered estates in Ireland into the market for sale, purchasers, it appears, can still be found, and that at fair prices. The refusal of the House of Lords to sanction the clause fixing a maximum poor•rate has undoubtedly deterred English as well as Irish capitalists from malting investments in what ure popularly , termed the " distressed unions." It could scarcely be supposed that any persons would assume upon themselves unlimited liabilities, that might possibly absorb the entire rental of the lands, on the forlorn hope of Government assistance. But whenever really well circumstanced estates are .übmitted to public competition there is no lack of bidders at reasonable rates. A vast amount of pro perty, to the value, it is said, of 3,000,0001. sterling, is about to be disposed of under the orders of the Commissioners for the Sale of Encumbered Estates. When the market is so fully supplied the demand must be very considerable indeed to prevent a great depreciation in prices ; yet we find that certain por tions of the Blessington estates, which were sold on Friday last in Master LITTON'S office, realised an average of 22 years' purchase, the aggregate rents sold being 8881. per annum, for which sums, amount ing in the whole to 19,2001., were obtained. It was also remarkable that not a single lot remained unsold, although reasonable prices were reserved in every , instance, the amount of which were publicly an nounced. It should also be borne in mind that the sale did not take place under the late Act, and that consequently no Parliamentary title would be conferred upon the buyers. It was carried on under the Court of Chancery, according to immemorial custom. It is true that the title had already been investigated in the Master's office, and objections taken to the report in its favour. These objections had been overruled, and the purchasers had in every instance been satisfied with the sound reasons adduced by Master Luzon in support of his decisions, and bad declined to en counter the expense and delay of taking exceptions to his judgment. The well-known ability and profes sional knowledge of the Learned Master gave the utmost weight to his decision, but even that decision, strengthened and confirmed as it was by the refusal of the purchasers of property to the value of 200,0001. to enter any appeal, could not be deemed as satisfactory as a conveyance from the Commissioners, which could never by any possibility be impeached, and which would constitute a " new root of title," that would materially diminish the expenses of any future transfer of the property so acquired. If, therefore, the sale had taken place under the new Act, it is more than probable that still higher prices would have, been obtained prices which, considering the general depreciation of every description of property, would prove how little foun dation there is for the croaking of the alarmists, who prophecy the complete and irreparable ruin of the landed interest. From the above facts it is manifest that Ireland only requires the satisfactory settlement of two great questions to be placed in a condition of comparative prosperity, with the prospect of an early relief from her most pressing difficulties—an equitable arrange ment of the poor-law, and a large and comprehensive measure of reform in the law of landlord and tenant. The former is necessary to protect the property from being eaten up and destroyed by the poverty t>f the country. The latter to prevent the agrarian outrages, and the frauds practised even upon the most liberal and kind-hearted landlords—men, who are as willing to discharge the duties as they are to claim the rights incidendal to their position. Let it not be supposed that we desire that the poor and destitute should be deprived of a legal right to support whenever their necessities might require it. The " poverty" should be the first charge on " pro perty," even beyond that of mortgages, or other incumbrances. But there should be a fixed and ascertained limit beyond which no claim could possibly be made, the surplus being provided for by a national rate that would fall on the entire country, or even on the Consolidated Fund. Every encouragement should also be afforded to those who were disposed to provide for their own fair proportion of the poverty of the district. That paramount duty would not be discharged by "clearing their estates, by depopulating the country, making a desert and calling it peace," but by giving ample employment to the labouring population, improving their own estates, and developing the natural capabilities of the country, while they are enabling those who would otherwise become burdens on its resources to earn their daily bread by their own honest industry. Again, the . Landlord and Tenant question should be placed on a new footing, so that all parties should have a common; interest in the improvement of the toil, and that they should mutually co-operate for the general benefit. This can only be attained by the recognition of the tenant-right custom, and its ex tension throughout the entire kingdom. When every tenant, whether holding under lease or not, has a certain right of property in the occupa tion, from which he cannot be removed so long as he performs his part of the contract, the best stimulus will be afforded to permanent and lasting improvements, and there will no longer be any motive for the abduction of crops, or nocturnal removals of produce. The occupier will always be enabled to dispose of his good-will for more than the arrears due to the landlord, who will then receive the full amount of his rental without being compelled to make a large deduction for bad debts. When these great points are satisfactorily arranged, there will be no lack of competitors for the purchase of lands in any district in Ireland that may be offered for public sale.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. General LAMORICIERE, the Minister to St. Peters burgh, and M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, the Minis ter to Vienna, have tendered their resignations, incon sequence of the dismissal of the late Ministry. The Patrie says— " After the incident in the sitting of Thursday, in which M. Pierre Bonaparte pointed out M. de Persigny the adviser of the measure of the Government against him, the latter gentleman went to the President of the Republic, and told him that, as he had been unjustly attacked by one of his cousins, and could not :demand satisfaction from a Bonaparte, after fourteen years of devotedness to his family, and eight years of captivity for its cause, he had brought him his resignation as an efficer attached to his person. The President of the Republic positively refused to receive the resignation of M. de Persigny. The papers of Sunday publish the following official account of the duel fought on Saturday be tween M. PIERRE BONAPARTE and M. DE ROVIGO : " The undersigned certify the following facts:—A rencontre has taken place between M. Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, representative of the people, and M. Ret 4 de Rovigo, homrue de lefties, editor of the Co-saire. It had been arranged between the seconds of the two par ties that the duel should commence with the sabre, and continue with the small sword after the first wound. The adversaries, with the sabre in their hands, having been placed at a distance of three paces from each other, marched the one upon the ether. M. Pierre Bonaparte having attacked, was stopped at the second pass by a coup de poinle, which touched him on the left side of the breast, and on the corresponding hand. But at the same moment the sabre of M. de Rovigo fell to the ground. and on the cry of the seconds, ' arretez, M. Bonaparte,' the hand raised stopped in fact. The wounds of M. Bona Pa rtcrot having appeared to his seconds sufficiently grave to put an cud to the duel, they proposed to him to continue the combat with the sabre, on the ground that the circumstance of the disarming should neces• earily modify the first conventions. The seconds of M. de Rovigo, relying exclusively on the first conditions, declared that the combat should take place, and take place only with the sword. To take a middle course, the seconds of M. Bonaparte proposed, in the name of M. Pierre Bonaparte, who was consulted, to continue the combat with the pistol, and the seconds of M. do Rovigo thought it their duty to reuse. " For M. Bonaparte—M.M. AUGUSTE POLL, MARCHAL (de Calvi). " For M. de Rovigo—M.M. Louis PAIRA, ALBERT (de Cotte)." The duel between M. PIERRE BONAPARTE and M. VALETTE was to take place yesterday. The Assembly has rejected the proposition for re storing the statue of the Duke of ORLEANS, which formerly stood in the courtyard of the Louvre. The PRESIDENT of the Republic, en the report of the Minister of the Marine, has ordered the formation of a Commission to be presided over by M. de Broglie, and to he composed of the following members : MH. 11. Passy, de Tracy, Admiral CeciF.le, Admiral Laine, de Laussat, Betting de Lancastell, Fournier, and Hubert de Lisle, representatives; MM. Jubelin and Behic, Councillors of State ; M. Isamt,ert, Councillor of the Court of Cassation ; M. Calos, ex- Director of the Colonies; M. Mestro. Director o f th e Colonies ; M. Sully-Brunet, ex-Delegate of the Colonies; M. Dernoly, Councillor of the Court of Appeal of Martinique; and M. Lepelletier Saint Remy, Chef de Bureau of the Direction of the Co loni:s as :Secretary. The object of the Commission is to consider the best mods to be adopted in con sequence of the change in the colonies by the aboli tion of slavery, and the alteration in their legislative and judicial regime, from their being admitted to be represented in the National Assembly. The Committee on Public Assistance has taken into consideration the Bill on the creation of a pension fund for workmen. The amount of funds required for such a plan being estimated at not less than 200 millions, whilst it might even reach 700 millions, it is not supposed that the Minister of Finance will consent to affix his signature to such a measure. This project for the creation of a pension-fund for aged workmen has long been a pet scheme with the PRESIDENT of the Republic, and has already nearly occasioned a rupture between him and M. ACHILLE FOULD, who is a determined opponent of all propositions of this nature. The Siecle says— " According to the rumours which are afloat, the President of the Republic called on the Minister of Commerce to present his project touching the caisses de retraites to the Assembly, without speaking of it to the other Ministers. The Minister of Commerce, instead of doing so, handed it to the Committee of Public Aid end Assistance. This middle course only served to offend the President and Ministers alike, and especially the Minister of Finance. It was the annoyance expressed by the latter which served to give riso to the rumour of his intended resignation. The Committee, it appears, disapproves of the project, which to have carried into effect would require a grant from the State of several hundred millions of francs." The reactionary club of the Conseil d'Etat met on Friday under the presidence of M. Moi..v, when it was decided that the club would take no part in the forthcoming elections. _ _ The PRESILENT of the Republic is extremely de sirous of proclaiming a general amnesty, from which those only would be excluded who had taken flight and not purged their contumacy. He, however, reluc tlntly yielded on Saturday to the representations of his Ministers, and deferred putting his intentions into execution for the present. The ground on which the Ministers opposed the project of amnesty was the danger to be apprehended from the turning loose upon society such men as BAnnss and BLANQUI on the eve of the thirty elections which are now about to take place. Accounts from Tangiers state that the Morocco Government has given all the satisfaction demanded by France: The Reforme publishes the following letter, dated Nov. 22, from 111. CHASER; the founder and director of the Cites-Ouvrieres : " Sir,—You inserted in your yesterday's journal an ar ticle:which I wrote to rectify. You have been quite misin formed relative to the state of the CiNi's .Ouvriere, in the rue Rochechouart, and the cause of the cessation of the works. The President of the Republic, whom you men tion as not having fulfilled his engagements, has paid the whole of the 50,000 fr. which he subscribed, as did the editor of the Presse, who, like the President, an ticipated the time of his payments. The other payments being made slowly have caused me to diminish the num _ ber of the workuien; but the works have never been stopped. The building has arrived at the point of put ting on the roof, which will shortly be effected, and the CiA will be terminated towards the end of January. I am certain, Sir, that you would not wish to be the echo of a rumour which might in soma measure be injurious to the work of these Cit4s; and consequently I have to request you to insert this little rectification in your next number." The Constitutionnel has the following remarks on the affairs of Algeria : " The siege of Zaatcha, as we see by the accounts given by the Moniteur Algerien, continues to proceed with tha same slowness, but also with new complica•ions. The defection of the Nomade tribes is now fully con firmed, and is a most important fact. After having forced the passage of the Megaouss, their numerous horsemen have arrived to the assistance of the revolted Arabs, and we much doubt whether the convoys reach the French camp so regularly as the official organ of the Government of Algiers pretends. If we may credit our letters from that quarter, the road from Constantino to Ba thua and Biskara is at this time completely intercepted. No error, however, should be allowed in the Mon iteur Alge rien ; the Governor-General is near to watch over and prevent any incorrect accounts. We are told to hope that the negotiations of the Chiek-el-Arab will be successful in bringing the misguided men to reason, but we dare not hope that such will be the case. Will the Arabs, who become so intoxicated by the first appearance of success, be disposed to lay down their arms when, for the first time, they have thus suc ceeded in paralysing the action of our forces? The in decision and the inertness of those who command are an encouragement to revolt, and these people whom Mar shal Bugeaud had accustomed to such prompt and ener getic repression, must now put faith in the words of the Marabouts who translate the word republic, unknown in their language, by an Arab jet, de mot (raibon beylik), cett;ate 11,000 of thi b n a g y s o ha s ne ar overthrow of the Government. This i s th e fi rs t t i me such a occurred united to vanquish urredin the historyof our oncoes a re sistance which has already cost us 800 men in killed and wounded. Marshal Bugeaud had not so many when the whole force of Morocco advanced against Algeria. But t h en the Marshal had considered it his duty to be on the spot in person. He called to mind that if, in the council his peu signed orders, his sword was necessary in the hour of revolt."

Letters from Berlin of the 23d state that Austria has made a formal protest against the convocation of the German Parliament, and has even hinted of an intervention by that power. A Cabinet Council was immediately assembled, and, after having adopted the project of law relative to the elections to the German Parliament, the Ministry agreed upon a reply to Austria. This reply was instantly sent to Vienna. It maintains energetically the rights of Germany, and declares that Prussia will wait for the carrying out of the threats of violent intervention contained in the Austrian note. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of this day con tains a royal proclamation denouncing all persons who shall be guilty of insulting the soldiers, or in ducing them to desert or disobey the commands of their superiors. The First Chamber of Prussia on the 21st was again occupied in the revision of the Constitution. It adopted the articles enacting that the legislative power should be exercised in common by the KING and the two Chambers. The Second Chamb9r completed the revision of the Constitution on the 20th. An ordinance of the King of PRUSSIA, dated the 21st, threatens any person who may excite the soldiers to disobedience with from six weeks to two years' imprisonment. compromises the liberties of the country; they aro ander the protection of the venerated memory of Charles Albert, my father; they are confided to the honour of the House of Savoy; they are protected by the sanc tity of my oath; who will dare to fear for them? , Before the meeting of Parliament I addressed to the nation, and particularly to the electors, my real sentiments. In my proclamation of July 3, 1819, I exhorted them to act in such a manner that the Constitution should not become an impossibility; but a third part of the electors only took a share in the elections; the rest neglected to exercise a right which is the strict duty of every one in a free state. I have performed my duty ; why did they not perform theirs ? In a speech trom the throne, I laid before the country — and it was but too needful—the melancholy position of the state. I proved the necessity of making a truce with the passion of party, and to resolve promptly all questions that touched the vital interests of the public. My words were dictated by a profound love of my coun try, and by a loyalty without stain. What fruit have they obtained? The first acts of the Chamber were hos tile to the crown. The Chamber used its right; but if I had blotted certain things from my memory, ought it not to have done so likewise ? I passed in silence the unreasonable opposition of the policy that my Ministers acted upon loyally, and which was the only policy they could adopt. I pass in silence its last acts, directed against the prerogatives granted by the law of the land. But I have a right to demand a severe account from the Chamber of its last acts, and I appeal against them to the judgment of Italy and of Europe. I have concluded with Austria an honourable—and not a ruinous treaty—one such as the good of the country required. The honour of the country, and the sanctity of my oaths require that it should be executed faith fully, without reservation, and without subterfuge. My Ministers having demanded the ratification of it from the Chambers, which in inserting one condition rendered the ratification unacceptable, and destroyed the recipro cal independence of the three powers, and violated the constitution of the kingdom. I have sworn to do jus tice aid to preserve to every ono the free exercise of his rights. I have promised to save the nation from the tyranny of parties, whatever might be the station, the name, or the rank of the men who com pose them. These promises, these oaths I have kept in dissolving a Chamber which refused to do its duty—l have fulfilled them in convoking another Chamber ; but if the country, if the electors refuse me their aid, the responsibility of the future will no longer rest on me ; and from the disorders that may spring up, they will not have me to accuse, but must themselves bear the blame. If I have thought it my duty to speak severely on this occasion, I hope that your good and the just feeling will recognise that they boar marks of tho profound love of my people and of their true interests, and that they will derive strength from ,iny firm resolve to maintain their liberties, and to defend them against all enemies, foreign and native. Never to this day has the house of Savoy had recourse is vain to the fidelity, the good sense, and to the love of its people. I have then the right to reckon on them in these circuie:- stances, aed to be convinced that, united, we can save the constitution and the country from the dangers that menace them.

THROWING STONES AT THE TIIAIN:S ON THE SOUTH WESTERN AND WINDSOR LINE.—On Saturday George Fletcher, William Stuckley, and hoary Harris, boys varying in age from twelve to fourteen years, were brought before the mag;strate at Twickenham, charged with throwing stones at a train on the South-Western and Windsor Railway, and thereby injuring Wm. Dear, the fireman of the "Charon" engine. The offence was proved by the evidence of several witnesses, and it ap Feared that the practice was one of frequent occurrence. A young gentleman was at present an inmate at the Ophthalmic Hospital, at Charing-cross, who had been struck in the eye by a stone whilst travelling on this line, and it was feared he would lose the use of that organ. The prisoners made no denial of the charge. The magistrates observed that under the General Rail way Act they had the power to commit the prisoners for trial, for the misdemeanour, which rendered them liable to two years' imprisonment with hard labour, and were it not for their youth they would have been com mitted, for this was a most dangerous nuisance, and if not suppressed people would become so alarmed as to cease travelling by the railways. In this instance the prisoners were committed to the Westminster Bridewell for one month each, with hard labour, but in all future cases they would put the extremity of the law in force. We have great pleasure in announcing the ap• pain t m ent of Mr. W. Langdon, jun. (son of Mr. Lang don, of Union-street, Stonehouse), as Chief Accountant and Assistant Secretary to the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company, at a salary of 500 rupees per month, about 6001. per annum. We understand there were fifty candidates, therefore the appointment has the test of merit.

RUGBY HEAD MASTERSHIF.—The election to this office, vacant by the appointment of Dr. Tait to the deanery of Carlisle, will take place at Rugby, on the t 7th cf December next.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about 4,500 bales, including 3,500 American at 54d to to 6g 1; 300 Brazil at 61 to 7d; and 200 Surat at 4/ to 4i. —Railway Shares wore very dull, and prices had a downward tendency. The Grain market is slow to-day. The arrivals of wheat last week were large, including 35,614 quarters of Foreign. The following is a statement upon the subject of the Iron-trade, contained in Aris's Birmingham Gazette of to-Jay : "The improved tone of feeling that we reported as existing here a fortnight ago, appears not to have entirely subsided, although at present scarcely any beneficial results have followed. Among the manufacturers more inquiry for pig-iron has shown itself, and several parcels have been placed, but not at higher figures. It is re ported that active preparations are in progress for resuming work at four of the blast furnaces belonging to Lord Ward, at present idle. In the meantime other works have been brot, - ;ht to a standstill through total absence of orders, and two furnaces have been blown out. Tho dealers and merchants in London, Manchester, and Liverpool, aro excessively reserved, and although they appear to hold some orders for parcels of various descriptions, they will not give them out except at a concession in price. We have heard of bars delivered at Si. 155., and hoops at 61. 155., which, with carriage anti usual allowance, could scarcely have realised 51. ss. and 61. ss. at the workq. "It may afford matter of surprise to some that the iron trade should still continue in so languishing and unreteuneratiee a condition, and that, in the face of the immense increase of activity, the additional half mil lion of exports during the past nine months would appa rently indicate, prices should even yet exhibit rather a declining tendency. To account for so anomalous a position, we must turn from representation to reality, from a visionary future to the actual future, from the dreams of the theorist to the history of facts awl the relation of every-day transactions. " Labouring under as c x:;ess of make, and controlled by the cheap unwieldy produce of other districts, with which, through the improved facilities of transit, Staf fordshire is now continually coming in collision, our manufacturers are dispirited, or recklessly disposing of their wares at prices below the bounds of prudence, if not of actual cost. In every branch underselling is com plained of, and unfair advantages are taken to monopolize the scanty supply required by an inactive market." The Cape of Good 'lope accounts of September 26th furnish nothing important in a commercial sense, the colony being as much excited as ever upon the trans portation question. A fact is mentioned, however, whicli requires to be noted,_because similar disgraceful cheats have occurred before. A bale of wool intended for shipment to England was opened at Port Elizabeth, and found to contain a huge stone, weighing 571bs. The name of the farmer who sent it is publicly announced, but he shifts the blame on to somebody else. Minor frauds have bees frequently complained of here by the brokers and wool-buyers. The reports from the Continental markets state that at Frankfort, on the 23d inst., Austrian Bonds were marked 87, being rather lower. The last Vienna quo tation was 941, the exchange being 10 56. At Berlin, on the 23d inst., Austian Stock was 89. At Madrid, on the 20th inst., the Three per Cent. Spanish Bonds were 28 9-16.

East India Buds aro 81s. to 845., and Exchequer-bills 475. to 50s. premium. The speculators are generally in favour of a further rise, although a few sales have been made to realise profits, but the market will depend more upon investments. In the Foreign Securities the transactions have been at variable prices, but with rather more inclination to do business. Spanish Three per Cents, have been 36i to 37k, and the Five per Cents. 174 to 4. An answer has been received, it is said, from General Narvata to the petition of the bondholders, but we cannot learn that it is of a definite character.

The Austrian Lloyd's publishes a letter from War saw of the 19th, which states that in consequence of several demands of amnesty ha%ing been addressed to the Government of Poland by Polish refugees, an invitation had been issued by the Government to the refugees abroad to return forthwith to their country; adding that, in default, they will have to undergo the sentences pronounced on them. HOLLAND. The Dutch Government has announced that, from the Ist Deceuiber, the mails are to be sent daily to England, by OstEnd and Dover, in addition to the direct communication between England and Rotterdam. Prepayment of letters is no longer obligatory. The overland mail has brought intelligence from Java to the 29th September. The island of Java has suffered greatly from earthquakes ; in some districts of Radoe the tobacco crop is destroyed, and the coffee plantations almost ruined. The Governor-General has issued a procla mation, from which it appears that he was again preparing for an expedition, by which he hoped to incorporate the greater part of the island of Celebes into the Netherlands possession. DANUBIAN PROVINCES. On the 14th the solemn anointing of the reigning Prince of MOLDITIA took place at J,ssy, as a sub stitute for a coronation. TURKEY. RESUMPTION OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA. The Constitutionnel of yesterday publishes a letter from Constantinople, dated Nov. 7, which announces that the diplomatic relations between the Porte and the representatives of Austria and Russia have been resumed, M. DS TITOW, the Russian Minister, having paid a visit to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, on the sth, and Count STURMER, the Austrian Internuncio, having visited him on the day following. They stated to that Minister that their respective Sovereigns, having heard the explanations of the Ministers of the SULTAN, were willing to resume negotiations. These advances on the part of the Russian and Austrian representatives were met with cordiality by the Turkish Minister. Austria appears satisfied with what Turkey has already done by transport ing the Hungarian refugees to the interior, and does not demand anything further. Rus sia, on the contrary, demands that the Polish refugees shall be expelled from the Ottoman empire, and that the chiefs shall be imprisoned in a fortress, the Porte being responsible for their safe custody, without excepting even those emigrants who, like BEM, have embraced the Mahometan faith. It is said that Russia also requires the expulsion of a cer tain number of Poles, who have been for many years inhabitants of the Ottoman States. The Porte re ceived these propositions in such a manner as to show that they would not be accepted i • and a council was to be held on the 7th to take them into consideration. The Russian Minister is excessively annoyed at the presence of the British fleet in the Dardanelles, which he declares is a violation of the treaty,_ and has, it is said, refused to enter into negotiations until the English fleet shall have quitted the Straits.

The Chamber of Deputies was dissolved by Royal decree on the 20th; the elections are to take place in Piedmont and Savoy on the 9th, and in 6ardinia on the I3th December, and the Chamber, is to meet on the 20th. The decree of dissolution was published in the Gazette, preceded by a Ministerial report, and fol lowed by a Royal manifesto. The following is the report of the Ministers to the KING : "Sire,—When your Majesty, faithful to your pro mises, and firm in that good faith which is the pride and glory of the illustrious house of Savoy, summoned in July last the Chambers of the Kingdom, the Ministry had the most flattering hopes from that measure. It was not able to have the least doubt but that the pre servation of the public franchises, being the best means of maintaining union between the Sovereign and the nation, it was fit to place them in safety against all attacks, by calling the representatives of the nation to participate in the guarding of that sacred body. "The Chamber of Deputies, according to the opinion of the Council of Ministers, has not properly understood its mission, which was ono of peace and concord. The deliberations of the legislative body has not answered the expectations of the country. Its last vote is uncon stitutional; and it is not befure an unconstitutional vote that Ministers ought to resign,—a Ministry whose in tentions have always tended to the consolidation of the liberties granted to us by the magnanimous Charles Albert. _ _ _ " The Ministry requested the Chamber to approve of the treaty of peace, and it had reasonable hopes that it would have been approved, the Chamber having already authorised the payment of the first instalment of the war indemnity, and handing over to Austria the bonds for the other 60 millions. A contrary course has, however, been pursued. After four days' discussion, in which the necessity of accepting the treaty was acknowledged, it was proposed, by a resolution of the Chamber, to provide for the refugees of the provinces which had been united to the state in virtue of the laws passed last year by the Parliament. The Ministers, of course, pointed out that it was impossible to make these special dispo sitions a condition of accepting the treaty; at the same time it stated that the intentions of the Government were favourable to these refugees, and especially those who were excluded from the armistice. The Ministers also represented to the Chambers that the approval of the treaty was a matter of great urgency, and declared its readiness to present a project of law relative to the refugees, insisting, however, on the necessity of the de liberation it required. " The promise of the Ministry having been accepted, and the suspension of the deliberations having been post poned till a law of this nature should be prepared, the suspension of the session was decreed. The unconstitutional nature of the vote is evident to whoever reflects that the vote encroaches on the inde pendence of the three Powers, while the approbation of the treaty is made to depend on the acceptance of a law by the Senate, whose acquiescence in it the Ministry is not able to guarantee, and moreover without taking into account the grave difficulty which the Ministry would have to encounter in the presentation of a law in face of the 56th article of the statute, fur a similar law had already been discussed and rejected by the Senate. " It was in this state of things that the Ministry pro posed to your Majesty the prorogation of the session of Parliament contained in the proclamation of the 17th inst.; and now, after the most mature consideration, proposes to your Majesty to make a fresh appeal to the country by the means of a dissolution of the present elective Chamber, and the prompt meeting of a new one —a meeting the more necessary as, on the Ist of De cember, the power given from month to month to raise and apply the taxes will eetve. " A longer delay would lead the country into great difficulties. The country will easily comprehend the position of the Ministry. It will know how to come in aid of the true and loyal by seduntary meetings, and assisting it to defray the ordinary charges of the State. Nevertheless, the Ministry do not wish to dissemble the gravity of the circumstances in which the electors are called to elect deputies for the fourth time in less than two years. But, on the other hand, it has confidence that the nation will comprehend that it ought to be ap plied to in such grave circumstances, and that in an swering to the frank appeal of the King, it (sill be able to consolidate for ever the free institutions which should be its happiness, as they are already the greatest glory of the sovereignty, and that each elector Rill perceive that the welfare of the country is in his hands. " I have the honour, &c., (Signed) " GAIXAGNO, Minister of the Interior." The following is the Royal manifesto to the nation : "Amidst the circumstances in which we are placed, the good faith of which I believe I Lave given proof to this day, as well by my w:irds as by my acts, ought to suflLe to banish from your minds all uncertainty. I suffer, nevertheless, if not the want et Last the desire to address to my poplo a now ple4ige of eccurity, and at the same time an expression of my justice and my truth.
