Although we have repeatedly maintained that the energies of the Financial Reformers should be directed rather to the reduction of the civil expenditure of the country than to the diminution of either army or navy, we are, nevertheless, free to confess that there is ample room for innovation in the conduct of those departments, in consequence of certain very useless and extravagant disbursements. Either of the two professions regarded alone, will afford sufficient illus tration of the correctness of our argument. Take, for example, the Navy. According even to the showing of the enemies of the association presided over by Sir JOSHUA Waemseee, and jointly originated by the Honourable Gentlemen the representatives of Montrose and the West Riding of Yorkshire, no less an amount than 1,250,0001. is acknowledged to be squandered without any adequate compensation. In corroborating this estimate, how ever, it must not for one moment be imagined that we wish to be enrol'ed amongst those who are labouring to diminish the maritime forces of the country ; on the contrary, as might be expected from our " antecedents" upon this subject, we are pro foundly solicitous that that, the most important ot all the elements of our national vigour, the chief surety of our greatness, the paramount source of our influence, and the principal reason for our insular security, should be augmented instead of deteriorated, should fostered instead of opposed, should be enhanced in efficiency instead of being stunted to the standard of an insane and suicidal eclnonly. To realise these aspirations, however, it is mainly necessary, we conceive, to exercise a judicious thrift, and to apply the resources already placed at the disposal of the Board of Admiralty in a manner such as will tend to develope the most important branches of the service. In the culture of a plantation, in the prosecution of the arts of gardening or agriculture— whether it be in reference to the development of the smallest shrub or of the lordliest tree in the forest— it is alwae s, of course, found requisite to lop off every one of those suckers. saplings, and off , shoots, which exhaust the vitality of the plant, and thereby defeat the end of the farmer or the forester. In the ordinary practice of medicine, the efforts of the physiologist and the physician are continually directed to assist nature in such a digestion of the aliments of the body as will enable the various glands to make their re spective secretions, and impregnate the different organs with the materials essential to their healthy maintenance. Otherwise the food is consumed to no purpose and fails to afford the requisite nutriment. Now, in regard to the maritime profession ot England, we would gladly witness the diversion of the sap squan dared upon the support of unnecessary saplings, off shoots, and suckers, to the sustentation and invigora tion of the main trunk, the chief branches, the foliage and the fruit. We would gladly observe the em ployment of some measure which would secure the public from the evil of supplying funds or nutriment to he lavished upon an organization which, in its present condition and according to its present system, derives no proportionate advantage from the national munificence. For instance—we have pre mised that even the opponents of Financial Reform are compelled to avow that no less than 1,250,0001. are wasted annually on the navy of Great7 - Britain. How this monstrous prodigality in the managemen t of the naval exchequer originates may be easily re cognized after the enumeration of a few unanswerable and very cogent facts. Compare, we will say, the naval power of France and the naval power of England. France supports one full admiral, and England thirty-one! France has ten vice-admirals, and England forty-five France has twenty rear-admirals, and England seventy-two 1 France has one hundred captains, and England five hundred and fifty four ! France has two hundred commanders, and England eight hundred and seventy six ! France has six hundred lieutenants, and Eng land two thousand three hundred and fifty three Altogether France has in her navy 931 officers, while England in her navy has no less than 3,931—an enormous, nay a preposterously enormous number, considering that, comparatively speaking, only a small fraction out of these 3,931 officers can ever hope to be simultaneously employed. Compare, again, the navy of England with the navy of Russia. While England has altogether about 194 admirals-151 on full pay and 41 on the retired list—Russia has—(how many do you sup- Pose?)—just sixty-three! To 1,430 captains and commanders in the British navy—Russia has 152, namely, 72 of the first rank and 80 of the second! While England has her 600, Russia is contented with 211 lieutenants! Nor is this all. For look at the naval power of the United Stares contrasted with that, of Great Britain. JOHN Bum. must needs be kept sa f e by all these superflu , nis admirals, vice admirals, rear-admirals, post" ea ptains, commanders, and lieute uanti, while JONATHAN feels in a state of sufficient security with not one admiral, not one vice admiral, not one rear-admiral, with 67 captains, 47 Cou. manders, and 327 lieutenants ! The folly of all this ostentatious extravagance on our part is surely suffi. eiently mani 4 est when it is remembered that out of our 151 admirals on full pay only 15 are Omployed —only 15 out of 151 !I It reminds one of the gag in the comedy, where one ser vant says he'll go and do nothing, and a crowd of other servants say they'll go and help him! Recollect that, while England was fighting with her whole might and strength against the treated conqueror of modern, or, perhaps, ancient times, she had thirty-six admirals and so on pro perionately, to constitute the navy with which she opposed the gigantic power of the Emperor NAPO LEON. In other departments of the service the same wasteful and thoughtless expenditure is visible; as, for example, in that of ship-building, where, accord ing to the calculation of Mr. Humis, if a rational eco nomy were observed, the estimates :might be reduced from 8,000,0001. to 4,000,000/. annually. Seeing these melancholy blunders in the arrangement of the mari time power of England, many voices have become clamorous of late for a sweeping naval retrenchment. We ask, on the contrary, for no large reduction in our naval expenditure, but simply for that reasonable distribution and rational arrangement of its resources and energies which should tend, not as it does now to its enervation, but to its invigoration and its develop ment. This redistribution and rearrangement of our naval resources and energies must take place forthwith, for the people are not just now in the humour to wink at financial extravagance—more especially when that extravagance tends to deteriorat e that heroic and glorious service which has covered England with imperishable glory, and elevated her to her present greatness. The case of FORD V. JONES has been finally dis posed of in the Palace Court. As we had anticipated, the unfortunate defendant, whose case has been so fully before the public, and who received so many substantial marks of the general sympathy entertained for his unmerited misfortunes, and the cruel persecu tion he had undergone, did not obtain much benefit from his appeal to that notorious tribunal. He has, however, fully substantiated the accuracy of his state ments, and proved to the benevolent parties who re lieved his distress, that their charity was not mis applied, or bestowed on an unworthy object. The worthy secretary of the loan society has also been compelled to disgorge a portion of his profits, and to pay the costs of the application—a lesson which might be attended with beneficial results, but that the favourite tribunal being happily on the verge of extinction no new case of oppression can arise under its rapidly waning jurisdiction. The chief object of the unfortunate victim was, however, defeated. lie did not succeed in setting aside the proceedings under the judgment, or ob taining restitution of or compensation for his pro perty, which, although of the value of 501. sterling, was sold for a debt of 31. 18s., and costs to the extent of 91. is. in addition. The fearful oppression to which he was subjected has been deliberately sanc tioned by the presiding judge, who apparently ad judicated under the impression, which he entertained when the application was first made, that " in the early part there appeared to have been great leniency shown to the defendant." What, then, was the extraordi nary forbearance that elicited such strong commen dation from that learned functionary ? It is worthy of notice, as indicating the usual routine of proceed ings the fearful losses and irreparable ruin brought upon the unfortunate victims of Palace Court " moderation " simply this, that in adding no less than 1/. 10s. for costs to a debt of 31. 18s., or about 40 per cent. on the en tire demand, before a single application for payment had been made, the plaintiff had exhibited " great leniency ! " that in accepting the only sovereign in the possession of the wretched defendant, and giving time, for a single week, for the balance of the costs, the tender hearted secretary had afforded considerabl e indulgence ; and, finally, that when the undertaking was not strictly and literally complied with at the appointed time (owing to the fearful visitation of the dread pestilence, by which the metropolis was then afflicted, and by which six members of his family were stricken down on the bed of sickness, from whence three were destined never to rise), the proceed ings should be hurried forward and further costs, amounting to 71. 11s. accumulated. Then, indeed the triumph of compassion and of mercy was complete. Verily, there must be something in the Palace Court atmosphere which renders the moral vision of those accustomed to its influence strangely oblique and distorted, or we should never have heard conduct such as that we have described lauded and commended as being exceedingly lenient. The points of the case on which the application on behalf of the defendant was founded lay within very narrow limits. They were, first, that the plaintiff in the suit, in consideration of the sum paid to him per sonally, including the balance of the coats, and a payment on account of the original debt, had under taken that further proceedings should be stayed for a reasonable time, and that, consequently, the subse quent seizure and sale of the defendant's goods under the execution was contrary to good faith, and should be set aside ; and, secondly, that under any circ um- ' stances 11. 3s. had been unjustly detained from the defendant—that there was, at least, extortion to that extent, and that the sum in question should be imme diately handed over, together with the costs of the motion. On the first point JONES sustained and verified by his affidavit the truth of the statement he had previ ously made before Mr. ARNOLD. He deliberately swore that he had made the payments of 1/. and 13s. respectively, on the clear understanding and in con sideration that further proceedings in the suit should stayed. He was, however, unable to produce any additional evidence to corroborate his assertions. No person save the secretary and his clerk were present at the interviews that had taken place, and, too happy in having succeeded in exciting the compassion of the secretary, JONES was contented with the verbal pro mise, and did not venture to demand a written under taking. On the other hand, although the receipt of the money was not denied, the secretary and his clerk unhesitatingly declared on their oaths " that no such undertaking was given," and the Judge decided in accordance with their affidavits, and declared that the breach of faith was not made out, and, consequently, that the entire of the proceedings—the judgment, the seizure, and the sale, remained valid and unim peachable. Now, it may be permitted to look a little further into the probabilities of the case, in order to ascertain how the matter really stood, and to discover whether there had been wilful and deliberate perjury on either side, or whether there had been any mistake in the transaction. Up to the present time JONES has maintained an irreproachable character. During the searching and stringent investigation into the truth of his statements, directed by the worthy magistrate, nothing was elicited to his discredit, and HOLLAND, the warrant-officer of the police-court, who had con ducted the inquiries, declared himself fully satisfied of the general accuracy of his story. Every point capable of corroboration by other and disinterested witnesses was fully and distinctly sustained, although the greatest doubt was attempted to be cast upon every portion of the case by prejudiced parties. It was declared that the visitation of the cholera was a pure fiction, and that none of his family bad perished under its fatal attacks. Mr. BENNETT, the respec table surgeon who had attended them during their illness, not only certified that " the two sisters of poor JONES, their husbands, his only brother, and his infant nephew had been attacked, and that his brother, one of his brothers-in-law, and his nephew had died," but added the following testimonial to the behaviour of JONES himself during these painful events :—He said, " I now certify with much pleasure to the admirable conduct of WILLIAM JONES, when placed in such an awful crisis. He attended upon his unfortunate relatives night and day, with untiring affection, and not only exhausted his own re sources in providing such comforts so much needed at such a time, but defrayed the greater portion of the funeral expenses. And I may add, in addition, that his aged mother chiefly depends upon him fur her maintenance." His carpe t was also given back, and Mr. ARNOLD, after hearing various witnesses, declared that there could be no doubt whatever " that the bed sold at the sale was not that which had been taken from JON ES under the execution." It is not likely, then, that such a person, whose entire conduct had been such as we have de scribed, and whose statements were all sustained by evidence, would have put forward such infamous falsehoods as these must have been with respect to the !tore . _ tsry if actually unwarranted by the facts. 'lgaln) the p ayments were not, we believe denied. The secretaryacknowl e d ge d them, but denied his undertaking. For what purpose, then, did JONES pay over all the money in his possession to that ex cellent functionary ? Would he have given 13s. on adcount of the debt and costs if assured that the Palace Court officials would have seized his furniture on the following morning? It is certain that he at least be lieved he obtained a promise from the secretary such as he alleged the latter functionary, to whom the result of the interview was not of such deep and absorbing interest is it was to poor JONES might possib!y have forgotten the nature of his promise, and supposed it very unlikely that he should have so far deviated from his ordinary course. It is, therefore, we say, more probable .that the " mistake," as we hope it to have been, was on the part of the secretary and not of JON ES. On the second point, judgment was unhesitatingly given in favour of JONES, and the secretary was ordered to repay U. 3s. and the costs of the applica tion. In that there could be no possible mistake, and poor JONES is relieved to that extent ; but those who have perused his simple and touching narrative can say how inadequate is such a remedy for the suffering he has undergone and the grievance he has sustained. We may at least be thankful that such cases are henceforth impossible, and that we shall not again have to direct the public attention to similar instances of Palace Court justice and Loan Office "leniency." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday. The programme of the new Ministry is commented upon in all of them, and from present appearances there is every reason to augur that the experiment made by the PRESIDENT of the Republic will be, for the present at least, successful ; the parti pretre seem cowed by his boldness, and have wonderfully abated that braggart tone which at first they were inclined to assume. Thus the Assembles Nationale of Saturday, which on Thursday indulged in big words, " full of sound and fury," and, as it now appears, " signifying nothing," on Saturday eats the leek with most Pistol-like humility. " Everybody knows (says the Assembles Nationale) that we have never offered a systematic opposition. We will never be ungrateful for proofs of devotedness given to the country. The President of the Republic has assumed to himself Governmental responsibility, and in this determination we desire only to see an act of courage, and a wish to consecrate himself without mental reservation to the safety of the country. When amidst the tempest he puts his hand to the helm and engages to conduct us into port, we dare not ask him if he has measured the extent of the task he encounters, or if his strength will be equal to his courage." The opening sentence of the above extract is most amusing from its impudent mendacity ; it is truly characteristic of the parti-pretre. The Presse, which had contented itself with simply announcing the change in the Ministry, thus comments on the change in its number of Saturday:— "The journals which appeared yesterday morning expressed astonishment at the silence observed by the Presse on the message of the President of the Republic, and on the formation of the new Cabinet. Nothing, however, is less extraordinary. After the contradictions which M. Odilon Barrot and M. Dufaure had given to their former conduct when in opposition, after their accession to power, the Presse had no motive fur espous ing the cause of the fallen Cabinet against its successor. Article 67 of the Constitution declares that the acts of the President of the Republic, with the exception of those by which he names and dismisses ministers, are invalid, unless they are countersigned by a minister ;' but article 64, giving to the President of the Republic the right to name and dismiss his ministers,' article 67 is, in reality, nothing but a superfluous formality. It is in that light that we regard it. We have not, therefore, to inquire either the names, or into the merits of the new Ministers. In the Cabinet of the Ist of November wo only see it as it really is—the docile instrument of the will of the Presi dent of the Republic. He has the right to appoint his Ministers; he has the right to dismiss them. That right is positive, and to contest it would be to fall beck into the old beaten track of the constitutional monarchy. Strange inconsistency of parties! If there is one journal that might consider the dismissal of the old and the formation of the new Cabinet a thing perfectly simple, it assuredly is the National, since the double fact consecrates to all its extent the American principle of the personal responsibility of the President of the Republic. The 11 ational, however, is indignant, just as if it had lost the recollection of a revolu tion having been accomplished in France on the 24th of February; and that the Republic, as in America, had succeeded to the Monarchy, as in Eng land. That the President of the Republic has a right to choose as his auxiliaries—that is to say, for his mi nisters—whoever he chooses is incontestible; but what is not less indisputable is, that he has not the right to have a personal policy—to have a will different from that expressed by the Parliamentary majority, that living representative of the national sovereignty. The President has his right, and the majority has also its own. In protesting against the selection of the new Ministers, the Legislative Assembly would deviate from its orbit, as the President of the Republic has departed from his by the terms of his message. That deviation Rill inevitably bring about a shock. Will it be an 18th Brumaire a VII. (9th of November, 1799), preceded by an 18th Fructidor ? Will it be a 27th of July, 1830, followed by a fourth revolution ? We confine ourselves to state the question such as it is laid down." M. THEIRS, with M. MOLE and M. DurtN, was at first inclined to in-ist upon the acceptance by the PRESIDENT of a Ministry nominated by the reaction ary club, but has become now better advised. He says he thinks the new Ministry may "work well; that although they may talk less they may do more." In fact M. TRIERS is having recourse to all those subter fuges which are the common-place resources of a discovered bully when be is afraid to stand to what he has said. He thus concludes a lengthened article which appears in the Constitutionnel of Saturday : "In fine, the policy which the composition of the Mi nistry led us to expect is confirmed by the programme. The Cabinet desires, it tells us, to awaken the sentiment of duty in the minds of functionaries—it desires to in spire itself more profoundly than ever with the spirit of the majority. So long as the Cabinet follows this line it shall have our support." The journals of the left express their dissatisfac tion with the ministerial programme, and in this ex pression of dissatisfaction they are joined by the Journal des Debats, which pithily remarks— " The message of the President promises a new policy sad announces that action will take place of talk. It is only natural that the Assembly should feel that it ought to wait until it is better informed before it can judge of this new policy and these new acts. The vague character and meaningless tone.of the manifesto presented by the Ministry is such as to throw no light whatever on the motives why the late Government ceased to exist, or the new Ministry has come into office." The PRESIDENT has appeased the anger of M. ODILON BARROT, by conferring on him the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. The following official communication appears in the Ministerial journals, the Petrie and the illoniteur du Sole:— " Certain journals are accustomed to seek to mislead public opinion by commenting with bad faith on the acts of the Government, or by inventing a mass of news which is entirely void of truth. For instance, all the reports propagated of portfolios having been offered to certain persons not included in the present Ministry, either by the President of the Republic or in his nacre, are entirely without foundation, and we are authorised to give this formal contradiction to them." The reactionary Club of the Council of State met on Friday, and notwithstanding the opposition of M. BERRIER and the ultra members of the parti-pretre, it was decided by a large majority, on the proposi tion of MM. TRIERS, MOLE, and DE B ROGLIE , th a t for the present at least no opposition should be offered to the new Ministry. The grand ceremony of the inauguration of the magistracy took place on Saturday. The magistrates who were assembled to take the oaths of fidelity to the Republic were thus addressed by the PRE. SIDENT " Gentlemen,—l am happy to find myself this day in the midst of you, and to preside at a solemn ceremony, which in reconstituting the magistrature, re-establishes a principle which a momentary blindness of judgment could alone have permitted to be slighted. In agitated times, when the notions of what is just and unjust ap pear confounded together, it is useful to maintain the p7siiye of grand institutions, and to prove that certain principles contain within themselves an indestructible force. It is cheering to be able to say—the fundamental laws of the country have been renewed, all the powers of the state have passed into other hands, and yet in the midst of these destructive shocks and shipwrecks, the principle of the immoveability of the high law dignita ries of the country has remained untouched. "In fact, societies are not transformed at the will of human ambitions—the forms change, but the thing itself remains. Notwithstanding the political tempests which have succeeded each other since 1815, we still live on only in consequence of the widely-based institutions founded by the Consulate and the Empire ; dynasties and charters have passed away, but what has sur vived and what now saves us, is religion—is the or ganization of the courts of law, of the army, and of the admistration. "Let us then honour what is immoveable ; but let us honour also what may be found beneficial in the changes which have been introduced. To-day, for in stance, that you have come from every point of France to take an oath before the first magistrate of the Repub lic, it is not to a man that you swear fidelity, but to the law. You come here, in the presence of God and of the great powers of the state, to swear to fulfil reli giously a high duty confided to you, the austere ac complishment of which has always distinguished the French magistrature. It is consolatory to think that outside the pale of political passions, and of the agita tions of society, there exists a body of men having no other guide but their conscience, uo other passion but that of well-doing, no other aim but to ensure the reign of justice. " Yuu are about, gentlemen, to return to your depart ments; carry back with you the conviction that we have finally quitted the era of revolutions, and that we have entered on the era of ameliorations which prevent catas trophes. Carry out with firmness, but also the utmos:: impartiality, the tutelary provisions of our codes. Let the guilty never remain unpunished, nor the innocent be persecuted. It is time, as I on a late occasion re marked, that they who yearn after what is good should be re-assured, and that those others who are attempting to force their opinions and their passions in the place of the , national will, should make up their minds as to the ne cessity of desisting. " By distributing justice, in the most noble and most extensive acceptuian of that great word, you will have done much, gentlemen, towards the consolidation of the Republic, for you will have strengthened in the country respect for the law, that first duty, that first quality, of a free people." The delivery of this speech has, it is said, produced the best effect; the funds rose at the Bourse on Satur day and yesterday, although there was but little doing in the Passage de l'Opera. Prices remained at 87f. 90c., as they closed at the Bourse. BCSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Nov. 3.

CITY. QUARTER TO THREE. _ _ . The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, including 2.000 on speculation. The market was,steadyiwithout elteration in prices.— Railway Shares were steady. There was rather a firmer tone in the Grain market to-day. The further advices from the United States by one of the Ocean Steam Navigation Company's vessels, are still of a favourable character, politically, except in rela tion to Canada, of which the condition is anything but satisfactory. The probable removal of the seat of go vernment to Toronto was still exciting attention. It is pleasant, amidst the din of party warfare, to turn to some evidence of material progress, and the attempt to cultivate any new production cannot but be gratifying. It ap pears that samples have been shown of mustard grown and prepared for use in the Eastern province, which is actually stronger and better flavoured than that ge nerally imported. By far the most important experi ment, however, is that for the cultivation of coffee, and although the samples produced were not equal to West Indian, they are such as to promise future excellence, and is pronounced already to make a wholesome and palatable beverage. The Canadian coffee plant is an annual grown from the seed, exceed ingly productive, and not attended with an unusual amount of labour, and it is urged that the Canadian farmers should sow a small quantity in their gardens, the produce:of which would supply, at least, their families for the year. Complaints are made that a: most extraordinary piece of legislation had been permitted to take place .during the last session of Parliament without the slight est notice having been taken of it, but which most ma• terially alters the position of the landed proprietor and his creditors in case of mortgage. By this Act the interest of a mortgagor in the mortgaged property may be seined by the sheriff under a writ of fi. Ja., and sold in the same way as any other real estate might be taken in execution and sold, the purchaser receiving a good title upon his discharging the mortgage. The operation of this Act will be, as is asserted, that a mort gagee or other creditor will enter a common action, ob tain judgment, and cause the land to be put up at public sale, at which he can himself become the purchaser, as by claiming immediate payment of the debt be will probably deter others from buying. Under this Act one-third of the whole landed property of Canada West may, it is said, be brought to a sheriff's sale. The English Stock Market has been rather firmer, but there is a dulness observable. Consols have been quoted 921 to for Transfer and Time. Bank Stock has been supported at 1981, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realized 92k 1. The state of affairs at Paris engrosses now more attention than the political news from other places, although there is some renewal of the unsettled feeling with regard to the attitude of Russia towards. Turkey. Not much doubt is enter tained of the arrival in England of the Hun garian prisoners, but whether this will cause a cessation of the Emperor,Nicholas's hostility remains to be seen. The premium on Exchequer bills has been steady at 445. to 475., and on India Bonds it has been 84s. There is an inanimate market for Foreign Securities, but they have not varied much. Spanish Three per Cents. have been firm at 341 to 35. Portuguese Four per Cents. are nominally 33 to 34. Brazilian Small Bonds have been quoted 83k, and Chilian 54. Mexican Bonds have been depressed again at 25k to 26*. Russian Bonds have been up to 1071. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 53i. The Railway Share Market is firm, with one or two exceptions. North Stafford have declined to 81 ; Aberdeen are dull at 14 ; Caledonian have ranged from 121 to 13 ; South-Eastern are quiet at 18k ; North- Western firm at 115 to 116 ; Great Western 60 to Al ; Midland 47i to 48; Brighton 721 to 731; and York and Berwick 17f t.

MADRID BOLSA, OCT 30.—Threes, 271; Fives, 111. Exchange on London, 40 U. GERNAN AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Hungarian correspondent of the Paris National gives the following particulars of the murder of Kiss and his companions at Arad, by order of HAYNAU : "Kiss and his three companions were shot as early as four o'clock in the morning; the death of the former was horrible; three vollies had to be fired at him, and his suffer ings endured for more than ten minutes. At six o'clock the same morning the nine Hungarian generals con demned to be hung were brought to, the place of execution, and the melancholy scene was not completed until ten o'clock. Count Vescey, whom it was wished to punish as severely as possible, in consequence of the damage which his cannon had done to the walls of Temeswar, was reserved for the last, in order that for four hours he might witness the sufferings of his compa nions in arms. There were nine gibbets erected in a line, but there was only one executioner, with two men to assist him. About eight o'clock Count Charles . Leiningen, was to be the third in order, became impatient at the intentional delay, and said, in a tone of gaiety, I think at least they ought to give us some breakfast.' General, will you drink,' said a soldier, tendering him ;his gourd.' Thank you, my friend,' replied the. Count, Ido not require wine to give me courage; give me a glass of water.' He :then wrote with a pencil a few lines to bis brother in-law, protesting against the calumny which had been published against him of having fired on the prisoners, declaring, on the contrary, that he had used every effort to protect the Austrian prisoners. He recommended to his brother his wife and his two children, and declared that he died for a cause which he considered just and holy. He concluded his note by saying, that if hereafter his friends might seek to avenge his death, they should remember that humanity was the best poliey. In a few minutes after writing this note he had ceased to live. Some time before his execution every arrangement had been made for his escape, but ho refused, as his brother-in-law oould not fly with him. General Leiningen was a man of athletic stature. In battle he was careless of his personal safety, but always anxious to spare the lives of his men, and for that reason must be loved by them. He was a German by birth, but had acquired the affection of the Magyar peasantry. His wife is a Hungarian. Imprudent Austria to make so many martyrs! The people pardon many faults in their government, but they keep a strict account of executions. All these generals perished without one—even the slightest indi cation of fear at the awful scene. Baron Jessenack, who was executed at Pesth, evinced a courage almost superhuman. Neither the rolling of the drums, nor the threatening injunctions which were given him could prevent him crying out with a stentorian voice, I die a martyr for liberty—may every drop of my blood fall on the heads of my executioners!'" It is said that the Austrian Minister of Commerce is about to publish a new tariff, abrogating the pro hibition system. The Wiener Zeitung of the 28th contains letters patent decreeing the levy of an income-tax. It is of course, merely a provisional measure, the Diet of the Empire being alone entitled to decree a new tax, or alter the system hitherto adopted with regard to the payment of direct taxes. The scheme of Minister KRAUSS comprehends all classes (except the military and a few other cases of exception), whose incomes are derived from capital or from labour. In the former case the per centage will not exceed the English limit ; in the latter the Prussian model, of a variable scale, seems to be pre ferred. Incomes or salaries which do not exceed 300 florins (80/) are not subject to the tax. CENTRAL GERMANY. An article in the Weser Journal announces that the extraordinary plap of sending the German fleet to winter in the Scheldt has been abandoned, and that this fleet will remain, the smaller craft at Brake, on the Oldenhurg side of the Weser, and the larger vessels at Geeste, lower down upon the Hanoverian shore, where there is a tolerably sheltered berth at the mouth of the. small river Geeste. OLLAAD. THE HAGUE, Nov, 2.•—"l'he new Ministers, MM. THORBECKE, VAN SONSBEECK, STRENGLER, and PAHUD, took the oaths yesterday, at the hand of the KING. M. VAN BOSSE, having been a member of the former Cabinet, was of course exempted from taking the oath. MM. VAN ROSETHAL and LUCAS have not yet arrived in this capital ; the former is expected on Monday. The Second Chamber will not commence its sit tings on the 6th, for which day it had been convoked. "The session is prorogued until the 13th. This pro- rogation was considered necessary in order to give the new Cabinet time to prepare their programme, which is anxiously looked for.—Handelsblad. The Stoats Courant publishes some intelligence received by the Government by the last overland mail, from Java and Madura, of the Customs dues. It appears that during the first seven months of the year 1849 the import and export duties brought in a net sum of 3,837,987 37ifl. This result shows an augmentation of 458,668 05f1., compared with the same period of 1847, and of 715,633 05fl. compared with that of 1848. RUSSIA. The French Patrie publishes a letter from St. Petersburgh, dated Oct. 24, according to which the Emperor NICHOLAS had manifested profound an noyance at the order given the British fleet to ap proach the Dardanelles. Count NESSELRODE had received orders to address an energetic remonstrance to the British Government. ARRIVAL OF SIR J. ROSS FROM THE ARCTIC REGIONS. " Her Majesty's ship Enterprise, at sea, becalmed about 40 miles to eastward of Scarborough, Nov. 4th, 1849. - - " Dear Sir,—We have been boxing about the North Sea these last seven days, having made the Orkney Islands on the 28th of October. We got clear of the ice on the 25th of September. I have nothing interesting to communicate to you beyond the fact that we have neither heard nor seen anything of Sir J. Franklin. We win tered in Port Leopold (entrance of Prince Regent's Inlet). Sir James C. Ross and a party of seamen set out on a journey to the westward along the coast of North Somerset, and was absent from the ship 40 days, during which time they must have travelled somewhere about 200 miles—a journey un paralleled in the Arctic regions—saw nothing to lead to a belief that Sir John Franklin had touched on that shore. We are all well and hearty at this present time, but we lost four men during our stay in Port Leopold, which place we entered on the 11th Sept., 1848, and got out into open water, Barrow's Straits, on the 29th August, 1849, having been shut up in our winter harbour 342 days." (From the Nautical Standard.) RETURN OF THE ENTERPRISE AND INVESTIGATOR. —These ships, forming the expedition under Captain Sir James floss, put into Scarborough on Saturday night, on their passage home from the Arctic regions, having been perfectly unsuccessful in ,their search for the gallant Franklin and his brave companions. The two ships wintered at Port Leopold at the entrance of Prince Regent's Inlet and Barrow's Straits. On the 15th of May last, Sir James Ross, with a party of seamen, set out . and travelled 200 miles along the coast of North Somerset, south side of Barrow's Straits, on land never before trod by civilised seen. The expedition returned after being out forty days, during which time not the slightest clue was obtained of the lost navigators. The Enterprise has lost four men during the voyage, and her consort, the Investigator, three. The two ships got clear of the ice September 25, and made the Orkneys October 28. On the Ist of November the Investigator was spoken by a vessel, and informed that no news of Franklin had been received at home. This announcement spread a gloom over the crews of the ships, and Sir James Ross was deeply affected. THE POLAR EXPEDITIONS. YORK, SUNDAY EVENING.-Sir J. Ross's two ships put in at Scarborough on Saturday night, atter a severe voyage. Sir J. Ross left York by mail train this evening for London. He brines no accounts of Sir John Franklin. WAR EAGLE.—This celebrated racer , the pro. perty of Mr. Bou ver ie, has been purchased at a large price by the Russian Government.

CORN - EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.) In the leading country markets, held on Saturday, fine Wheats were mostly disposed f at full prices, but the middling and inferior kinds had a downward ten dency. No change worthy of notice took place in the value of spring corn. Later advices from New York state that several large parcels of Flour had been for warded to England on owners' account. Very few speculative purchases had taken place in any article. Coastwise, as well as by land carriage, a fair average quantity of English Wheat, Malt, and Flour came to hand last week. From Ireland and Scotland very little Grain reached us. The imports from abroad amounted to 16,830 quarters of Wheat, 3,8,5 ditto of Barley, 13,907 ditto of Oats, 247 ditto of Beans, 1,616 ditto of Peas, 61 do. of Tares, 1,030 do. of Linseed, 438 do. of Rape seed, 439 do. or sundry seeds, and 3,098 sacks of Flour. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morn ing's market, horn Essex was small coastwise and by land carriage. From Kent the supply was somewhat on the increase, but that from Lincolnshire. Cambridge shire, Etc., was trifling. As a large portion of last week's receipts went direct into the hands of the millers, the show of samples of both red and white was rather limited, owing to which, and to some of the leading millers being short of stock, the demand for most de fcriptions ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those ob tained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was readily e ffected. Several offers for forward ship ment came to hand. With foreign Wheat we were to lerably well, but nut to say heavily supplied, consider ing the extent of imports last week. Fine dry qualities, fit for mixing with new English, sold readily at very full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds only a limited business was transacted at late rates. The quantity of English Barley on show was trifling; that of foreign very moderate. Fine malting and grind ing parcels moved off freely at fully last week's curren cies. In other kinds of Barley only a limited business was transacted at late rates. We were somewhat ex tensively supplied with old Malt, but the quantity of new was small. The former description was a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices; but the latter was in good request at fully previous rates. The transactions in Oats were by no means large. Good sound Corn was firm. In damp qualities very few trans actions were reported. No change was observed in prices. The sale for Beans was inactive, at last week's curren cies. The supply of foreign was very moderate. White Peas moved off readily, at is per quarter more money. Grey and maple qualities were quite as dear. Indian corn and meal were nominal in value. The best Flour was steady at full prices. Secondary parcels ruled dull, CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The quality of the foreign stock at hand since our last report, especially the Pigs, has been by no means first race. No supplies have reached us direct by sea from Ireland. The number of foreign Beasts in to•day's market was seasonably good; but that of Sheep and Calves was comparatively small, and of middling quality. The arrivals of home led Beasts fresh up this morning were somewhat on the increase, and there was a decided improvement in their general condition. The weather being favourable for slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers large, the Beef trade was somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last Of quite 2d per 81bs. The very primest Scots sold without difficulty at 4s per 81bs. Prior to the close of business, nearly the whole of the stock bad been disposed of. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about 2,000 short horns; from the eastern, western, and midland districts, 600 Herefords, Runts, Devons, Sects, Sze.; and from the other parts of England , 400 of various kinds. The remainder of the supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of London. Notwithstanding, that the supply of sheep was larger than that exhitsited on this day se'nnight, we had a good inquiry for all kinds, at a❑ improvement in prices of 2d. per 81bs. The best old Downs produced 4s 2d, and the best half-breds, 4s per 81bs. Very few Calves were on off-ir. The Veal trade ruled active, and prices were quite 4d per Blbs higher than last week. There was a better sale fur Pigs, the value of which had an upwrad tendency. Prime small Porkers produced 3s 10d to 4s 2d per 81bs.
