SKETCHES OF CAN TABS. Now ready, price 2s. 6(1., in cloth, gilt edges, SKETCHES OF CANTABS. By JOHN SMITH (of Smith-Hall), Gent. London : George Earle, 67, Castle-street East, Berners-street, Oxford-street. " We have laughed heartily at Mr. Smith's Sketches, and are moved to recommend them to the reader who has a taste for real mirth, sly humour, and gentlemanly good•natured satire. They have much of the manner of Mr. Thackeray, who is evidently a favourite with the writer ; but they have nothing of common-place imitation about them, and beneath their surface ofbanter and persiflage there is a good spirit and useful intention. The little work comes opportunely In aid of the grave and excellent advice of the ' Times,' on occasion of the freshmen's commencement at both Universitles."—Examiner. " A mae entertaining little book we scarcely ever remember to have read. Many a well-known character, and well-remembered scene, is here depicted with great spirit, and will be recalled with Interest to the minds of those who have been familiar with such scenes."—Observer.

Friday, the 12ch October inst., was celebrated as a fete day in the metropolis of the north of Scotland. On that day the Municipal and University authorities of the ancient city of Aberdeen vied with each other its rendering honour to the statesman by whom the glorious doctrines of free trade had been carried into practical operation, who gave the death-blow to mo nopoly, and completely and for ever abolished the iniquitous bread tax. The Senate of the University and King's College, Aberdeen, unanimously conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws on Sir Ro - BERT PEEL ; and the magistrates and Common Council, with a like unanimity, bestowed on him the highest mark of respect in their power—the freedom of their city. The high honour thus conferred may be best estimated by the fact that the last p• - •rion thus distinguished was the Princely Consort of our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN, who rejoiced to find his name associated with the many eminent men—" high in the ranks of science, literature, arts, and genius"—who had previously been enrolled amongst the burgesses of Aberdeen. These compli ments were paid to Sir ROBERT PEEL, the commercial reformer. They were homages rendered to him who had crushed the power of the Protectionists and broken up the party who had long battened on the spoils of the industrious classes. It was that great act of his political life which elicited the heartfelt thanks, the grateful commendations of the citizens of Aberdeen. The Lord Provost, in proposing the health of the newly-elected citisen—" the youngest burgess" of Aberdeen—expatiated, forcibly and eloquently, on the national advantages of the " great and important measures which marked the period of the Right Hon. Baronet's last occupancy of office"— measures which, he had no hesitation in saying " had placed the trade and commerce of the country on a solid and permanent foundation, and which will be found in every succeeding year more and more to improve the comfort and happiness of the people of this country." Such was the spirit in which the honours were bestowed, and they were received in a simiiar feeling. Sir ROBERT PEEL did not presume to regard them as indicating an unqualified approba tion of all his measures, or an adhesion to his political views and opinions. He well knew that among those he addressed there was a deep impression as to the absolute necessity for Parliamentary and financial recorms far more extensive than any that had hitherto received his countenance and support ; he did not, therefore, incur the risk of disturbing the unanimity and harmony of the meeting by introducing or adverting to any of these sezata fuestionrs ; he was well contented to accept the expression of esteem and confidence in the purity and integrity of the motives by which he had been actuated in bringing forward tha wise and salutary measure that led to his resignation of office, awl the disruption of the great party of which he had previously been the recognised and almost uncontrolled leader. if any doubt, however, could have been enter tained as to the liberal feelings of the citizens of Aberdeen, and the true point of view in which the plaudits bestowed upon the ex Premier should be regarded, it would be entirely di.sipated by the cor dial and cheering reception three days subsequently accorded to the deputation from the National Par liamentary and Financial Reform Association. It proved beyond the possibility of dispute that the great majority of the burgesses and the inhabitants of the good city of Aberdeen sympathised with their unenfranchised fellow-subjects; and that, in the lan guage of the resolution, which was enthusiastically carried witiOut a single dissentient, they " ap. approved of the association, believing that if the ob jects contemplated by that institution b© realised the people will ultimately be fully, fairly, and freely re presented in Parliament." The LORD PROVOST, who, on Friday had been the panegyrist of Sir R. PEEL, would have been present on the Monday, but that he was prevented from attending by unavoidable causes, and through the chairman of the meeting be declared " that his heart was with the objects of the National Association. Many - of the most influential members of the municipality aealously and energetically par ticipated in the proceedings, and the spacious hall in which the assembly was held was crowded to excess, no available spot being left unoccupied. The most cheering feature of the evening was the complete unanimity that prevailed between the middle classes. Some might possibly hav e and the working desired that the association had demanded a still greater extension of the suffrage—that it had claimed the elective franchise for every adult male who had not forfeited his civil rights by the commission of crime ; they did not, however, endanger the harmony of the meeting by pressing their own views. They would be well contented to accept the large instal ment of justice offered by the association, and to co-operate zealously and energetically for its attainment rather than sacrifice all by grasping at too much in the first instance. They have become too painfully aware of the folly and inutility of isolated exertions ; they have seen how often the " substance" has been relinquished in endeavouring THE to obtain the shadow. They have in turn tried the effects of moral force and of phy sical force, but in vain. Henceforth they will adopt a wiser policy, and the result will prove the prudence of the determination. An arduous struggle is before them. The privileged classes have too long enjoyed the sweets of power to surrender at the first summons. " The few" have too long con trolled " tle many," not to resist to the uttermost any invasion on their cherished usurpations. While they could sow dissensions among the people, while they could contrive to keep them disunited, their efforts were crowned with success. Some slight con cessions were from time to time made when the people exhibited a real earnestness of purpose, and proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that they could no longer be deceived or resisted. It was thus the Re form Bill—the modern charter of our liberties—was achieved. Then, for the first time, the democratic element was admitted into the Legislative Councils, and, in some slight degree, entered into the govern ment of the country; but care was taken to preserve 1 so large a portion of aristocratic influence as to neutralise, in a great degree, the popular strength. It is true that rotten boroughs were abolished, but it is unfortunately too notorious that there at are present no less than forty-two boroughs returning sixty-nine members, in which the representatives are nominated by a few noblemen and wealthy commoners ; and many of the counties still obey the dictates of some territorial autocrats, who "still do as they please with their own." Hence it is that we have so many of the immediate relations and connexions of Peers holding seats in the House of Commons, who but reflect the views and opinions of the heads of their respective houses, and vote in obedience to the dictates of Members of the Upper House ; for, unfortunately there are but few DUDLEY STUARTS or NUGENTS, who, notwithstanding their high rank, array themselves on the popular side, and fight the battle of the people at all times and under all circumstances. Now that the middle and humbler classes have resolved on combined action, the movement will attain irresistible force. They can no longer be weakened by their internal divisions, by the want of discipline that induced a few ardent men to resist the opinions and despise the tactics of tried and experienced Reformers. Large and extensive measures will be triumphantly carried through Par liament, and there will, at length, be real practical truth in what has long been the theory of the Constitution. We shall find the "Vox populi suprema lex." Yesterday we briefly noticed the opening part of ' Mr. BERWICK'S able and honest report in reference to the fearful massacre at Dolly's Brae, on the 12th of July last, and, if stern duty permitted us, gladly would we refrain from again reverting to the hideous detail of crime and blood which that document dis closes. 'We deferred going into the fearful subject with that feeling which naturally influences us to procrastinate anything disagreeable, and that may be calculated to give us pain, but the unavenged blood of imbecile ago and feeble infancy calls upon us to steel our hearts to the task, and to follow Mr. Ban- WICK through his dreadful history of Orange crime and cowardice, ferocity and murder. We closed yesterday at that part of the Learned Commissioner's report which went to show that pre vious to the celebration of the last obnoxious anni versary—we trust we may truly call it the last—the Orangemen openly avowed their intention of march ing over the battle field of bygone feuds by a route which they had a not ventured through for thirty years : they were determined, if the Ribbonmen would not leave their own stronghold, to seek them even there. They might have paraded their tarnished and insult ing frippery along a fair and level road, but there they might be disappointed in a row. Perhaps the Papists might not give them an opportunity of being i shot at, so they were resolved to go'where they knew they would not be disappointed. The Ribbonmen were not idle; guns and pikes, and all the weapons with which fary supplies the wicked, were brought into requisition, and it was determined to dispute the pass of Dolly's Brae with the Orangemen. Thus, in the nineteenth century, in a Christian land, under the protection of British law, wore two hostile factions allowed to trample upon the laws, and openly prepare for a deadly conflict. Is there a human being, with the smallest claim to common sense or common understanding, much less to the most trifling knowledge of the laws of the land, that must not have at once seen that these warlike preparations must have tended to a breach of the peace ? We have not a high opinion of the intellect of the Orange magistrates of Down, but we do not believe there is one amongst them so ignorant as not to know that armed gangs of ferocious ruffians parading through the country are calculated to create terror and alarm in the minds of her MAJESTY'S peaceable subjects; and no principle of law is more clearly defined, or more generally understood, than that such bodies are illegal. Yet, can it be believed, that one of these savage factions was allowed to rendezvous in the demesne of a man then holding the QUEEN'S commission of the peace ? Another magistrate actually arranged and directed the line of march through Dolly's Brae, where he knew there was an armed body posted to oppose him, and where he must have known a collision was inevitable. Are not these men accountable before GOD and man for the awful consequences that followed ! Yes, we fear lessly say they are, and we trust that they will be made to render a full account to the laws they so flagrantly violated for the innocent blood they were instrumental in shedding. The police and Mr. F. Mums headed the procession, while the Dragoons followed close in the rear ; in this order they marched through the disputed pass, where there was a strong Ribbon party, but, owing to the judicious arrangements of the police and the great exertions of the Catholic clergymen, no collision then took place, and the procession reached Lord RODEN'S demesne without molestation. A number of magistrates as sembled on the hill, seeing the wicked intent of both parties—all agreed that it would be most dangerous to allow the Orange party to come back by the same road, and they arranged that Mr. FITRAIAURICE, the stipendiary magistrate, should proceed to Lord 1 RomEN's, and request that his Lordship would induce them to return by some other way. Mr. FITT• aratraicE proceeded to Lord RODEN'S and made this request, to which his Lordship replied that " be feared he had not himself sufficient influence to effect this object, but that he would speak to the party and also to Mr. W. BLnas on the subject." Mr. BEERS, how ever, not only did not advise them to return by a 1 different way, but he actually advised them to go back by the same way they came, although he ad mitted he could have influenced them to return by a i different one. This man, WILLIAM BEERS, a magistrate, bound by his office to preserve the peace, and from his posi • tion of Grand Master of the Orangemen, possessing sufficient power and influence to induce them to follow his advice—in fact, we believe they were bound by their oath to obey him—issued his fiendish order, despite all remonstrance, and hallooed his bloodthirsty followers against the Ribbonmen that he knew were posted _to resist their return by the old road, and panting for the deadly encounter. Ile knew there was a long account of burning and massacre to be settled between these sanguinary factions ; he knew that collision was almost inevitable, but his gallant brothers were well armed and thirsted for Popish blood, and the Grand Master was resolved to gratify them. After spending some hours in marching, speechify. ing and drinking. The procession commenced its fatal course to the battle.ground, and we shall give the account of the scenes there in the words of the Learned Commissioner. He says -- " The Orange procession—some of whose members appear not to have been so peaceably con d ucte d as i n the mo meg—was preceded, as before, by body of police, and the re " Was g a o l o se n rot ( lcted by another a bodyof p ;olice road immediately under the and by the Dra arriving at the point of the where the opposing force e wn row of MaghQramuyo-hill, up atrongly entrenched, the police who were in front d rew: lr eng the side of the procession to road, and stopped to allow the passed n forward, gnangtaifn to march past, which they did withouthlannleerruption. Un fortunately, after the whole body and while the police were in the act of forming follow them, a squib or blank shot was fired, which party I am unable to say, several trustworthy from flosses having stated their belief that it came from the rear of the Orange party; and others, equally credible, having stated that it came from a place on the hill about half-way between the Ribbon body and the road. Almost immediately after two shots were fired, SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1849 . and as contradictory evidence was offered, to show from which party they came, I shall only say that the weight of the evidence appeared to me to favour the opinion that they were fired by tw o of the Ribbon party posted on the hill at the Orange party. Imme diately after a volley was discharged from the main body on the hill, which appeared to have been indis criminately directed at police, military, and Orangemen, and the firing from both sides then became general. It was then deemed necessary, and I think wisely, to dis lodge the body posted on the heights. and accordingly the police, under Mr. Hill, charged upon and gained the first intrenchment, firing as they ascended at the men who were placed behind it. Immediately after it was carried the body there posted fled, and the police, who had fired in all 18 shots, ceased firing, and took a number of prisoners, among whom were five mounted; several of the prisoners were found crouching, with arms beside them, behind the walls " While this was going on above I lament to say that the work of retaliation, both on life and property, by the Orange party,wasproceedinglower down the hill and along the side of the road, in almost brutal and wanton manner. reflecting the deepest disgrace on all by wham it was perpetrated or encouraged. One little boy, ten years old, was deliberately fired at and shot while running across a field. Mr. Fitzmautice stopped a man in the act of firing at a girl, who was rushing from her father's house ; an old woman, of went y, was murdered, and the skull of an idiot was beaten in with the butts of their muskets. Another old woman was severely beaten in her house, while another, who was subsequently saved by the police, was much injured, and loft in her house, which had been set on fire. An inoffensive man was taken out of his house, dragged to his garden, anti stabbed to death by three men with bayonets, in the sight of seine of his family. The Roman Catholic chapel, the house of the Roman Catholic curate, and the National School-house, were fired into, and the windows broken. And a number of the surrounding houses of the Roman Catholic in habitants were set on fire and burnt, every article of furniture having been first wantonly destroyed." _ . And now, in the name of common humanity—in the name of the GOD of Mercy—in the name of out raged law—let us ask how was it that these inhuman and demoniac atrocities were allowed to be perpe trated in the face of such a force of police, military, and magistrates ? Why were no prisoners of the Orange party made ? Did these authorities assemble at Dolly's Brae to give countenance and protection to the slayers of innocent children and the murderers of helpless old women ? The tomahawk and scalping. knife of the ruthless savage was never employed in more revolting and barbarous cruelties. We blush for our common nature. We shall never hear the name of Orangeman again without shuddering; the execrable sound will call up the horrid picture of innocent childhood and feeble age calling in vain for mercy. Orangeman in future shall be in our mind but another name for cruelty and cowardice, and the man who would not blush to belong to that sangui nary gang should be branded as the hater of his kind —the enemy of GOD and man. The wicked assassin of the south will respect age and sex ; he stabs no old women, he shoots no innocent children. The mur derous Orangeman " robs the assassin of his crimes, and makes him spotless." Yet these are the fellows who dare to boast their descent from the men who fought at the Boyne and Aughrim. Oh no I it is impossible, they are the feculent issue of the camp followers, those human carrion crows who hover in the rear of armies to rob and strip the dead. There is no touch of the generous mercy of the brave in their composition, and we feel convinced there is no true drop of soldier's blood in their veins. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSI A. Prince FREDERICK WILLIAM became of age on the 19th, and was solemnly admitted by the KING into the order of the Black Eagle. Immediately afterwards a chapter was held of the knights of the order, at which Count BRANDENBURGLI and General vox WRANGEL were elected, and immediately after wards the solemnity of their investiture took place. The whole of the Prussian line infantry is about to receive a new organization, or rather change, of bri gades and garrisons. The 40 regiments, consisting each of three battalions, will form 1G brigades, each of two regiments or six battalions, excepting the 2d, 15th, and 18th brigades, to be quartered at Dantzic, Cologne, and Trives, which will consist of three regiments each, leaving five regiments (15 battalions) for the garrison of Luxemburg and Mayence. Two brigades form a division, two divisions a corps d armee, exclusive of the 15 battalions in the Federal garrisons; which, in case of need, could form the 17th and 18th brigades. The line cavalry is divided into sixteen brigades, each of two regiments, forming eight divisions (exclusive of the Guards), one division attached to each corps darmee. The artillery is similarly organized, and consists of eight divisions—each division of two brigades ; each brigade of two batteries of eight field pieces each ; and a reserve brigade per division, giving forty-eight field-pieces per division ; with two bat teries for each division of cavalry. So that a corps darmee, without reserves, may be taken at 23,000 infantry, 2,400 sabres or lancers, and sixty-four field pieces, including the reserve park. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was very animated, and the sales were estimated at 15,000 bales, including 7,000 on speculation. Prices of till kinds were id. to id. per lb. higher since Saturday last.—ln Rail way Shares a fair business was done at advanced quo tations. In the colonial markets to-day, there is a fair business doing in Coffee, and the accounts from abroad are all is favour of the article. From the appearance of the Liverpool Market, Cotton also seems to be again likely to attract much notice. The private letters from Canada still teem with com plaints of the state of trade, and of the spread of an nexation doctrines. The foreign accounts received this morning are tole rably satisfactory. At Amsterdam on Saturday not much was doing. Spanish Three per Cents. brought 26 . i. The Frankfort Market on the 20th inst. was at 89i for Austrian Bonds; and at Vienna, on the 18th, Austrian Stock was quoted 95i, the Exchange being at 10.50. The receipts of the railroad from Antwerp to Ghent were last month 35,532 francs. There has been much sympathy expressed in com mercial circles at the suspension of payments by Messrs. Enderby, long and honourably known from their connexion with the whale fishery and various branches of trade, besides being esteemed for their talent and truly English energy. This house ranked very high formerly, and the father of the present part ners, who are brothers, we believe, was very wealthy. Unfortunately, however, it is not always an enlightened or spirited prosecution of an undertaking that commands success, and Messrs. Enderby have sabred like other firms from the severe trials of the last two or three years, and from the special misfortune, besides, of the destruction by fire of a rope manufactory in which they were largely in• terested. One of the partners received an appointor nt to the Auckland Islands, and sailed last August. Accord ing to the statement made, the liabilities will fall chiefly among the relatives of the firm. The Turkish political difficulty is occasioning incon venience in mercantile circles, and there is some disin clination among the Lombard-street houses to,receive paper connected with the Bank of Constantinople unless otherwise secured. This may be more a matter of pre caution than the result of any known risk, but confidence is most sensitive, and we have good proof of the injury almost instantaneously occasioned by the apprehension of war. There has been a statement forwarded from Mexico by the agents of the bondholders, and which shows the extent of the duty collections, although nothing new is communicated upon the subject of the plan before Congress fbr an arrangement of the debt. Mr. W. B. Robertson returns to England, however, by the next packet, and will be able then to render an account of his stewardship, the judicious administration of which the committee here seems likely to dispute. A bill of lading for 23,000 dollars comes from Tampico, and for 62,275 dollars from Vera Crux. The Funds are very quiet again, but steady. Every hour we are expecting later news from Turkey.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) BUROLA.RY.—A young man, named George Archer, pleaded Guilty to having broken into the house of a lady named Williams, and stealing a pepper box, two spoons, and other articles, and was sent ence d t o two years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. Joseph Bowel!, a youth aged 17, also pleaded Guilty to stealing 431. 10s. 9d. from his employer, and recaired a like sentence. John Parker Jones surrendered to an indictment charging him, under Lord Campbell's recent Act, with threatening to publish a libel on Francis Robert Martin, a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines, Woolwich. Mr. CLA.RKSON (with whom was Mr. Bodkin) stated the case to the jury. Ile said the prosecutor was s ung gentleman, un d er twenty years of age, and the attendant, ho believed, had recently been called to the bar. Mr. BALLA-NTINE (who conducted the defence) said, this was not so. Mr. Jones some years ago was a mem ber of a respectable legal firm; but was now in inde pendent circumstances. Mr. CLARKSON said, it appeared that the youth had been introduced by a Mr. Grey to the defendant, and that card-playing had taken place on various occasions at the house of the defendant at Plumstead-common. The prosecutor gave an I 0 IL to Mr. Jones for a sum of 321. 103., which he had lost. The money was not paid, and several communications had taken place with respect to it. As it remained unpaid, the defendant addressed a letter to the prosecutor, dated from No. 1, Lower Purk. place, Plumstead-common, to the effect that he had laid the whole matter before the commanding officer, Colonel Parker; and that should his reply be inconclusive, ho should have 100 circulars printed like the one he ordered, and send one to every officer in the barracks preliminary to giving the matter to which it related further publicity. Tho circular was headed, " To be sold cheap;" and went on to say, " a long over due I 0 U of Lieut. Francis Robert Newton, Royal Marines, Woolwich, given for a lengthened card account, and towards the liquidation of which he has never had the honesty to pay one farthing." Parties were to apply to a party in Hemlock-court, Carey-street. Ile would not go into the whole of the circumstances under which the debt was alleged to have been contracted, but simply observe that, in law, no person was bound to pay debts incurred at play. Mr. Newton, the prosecutor, was then examined by Mr. BODKIN, and detailed the particulars in connexion with the giving of the I 0 U. At one sitting ha said he lost 981. or 1004 at play. The REcoRDEn-- - -And what was the amount of your salary? Witness—My what? The RECORDER repeated his interrogatory. Witness 1001. a year. The RECORDER—Then you lost the whole amount of one year's salary at one sitting at cards. The witness acquiesced in the fact. In crosi-examination he stated that his father's name was Augustus Newton; that he was a barrister; and that he had drawn the indictment in this case, and had applied for the warrant against the defendant. The RECORDER said the COUTIO pursued by Mr. Newton, senior, was a very natural one under the cir cumstances. Colonel Pack and other witnesses were called, who proved the facts stated in the opening speech of the eounsel fir the prosecution. Mr. BALL&NTINE then addressed the jury on the part of the defendant, and The RECOIIDER having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the Corium SERGEANT and Mr. Ald. Firms.) The Court was occupied during the morning in trying Mint prosecutions for uttering counterfeit coin, but none of them possessed any feature of importance. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The October adjourned sessions were commenced this morning, before the Assistant-Judge, at tho Sessions house, Clerkenwell-green. There aro sixty prisoners for trial. William Ellis, a boy, pleaded Guilty to an indictment for stealing two pewter puts, value 25., the property of Mr. David Hughes, a licensed victualler. It appeared that the prisoner had before been con ♦icted of a like offence, for which he underwent the punishment of three months' imprisonment, with hard labour, and The JUDGE now sentenced him to six months' im prisonment, in pursuance of the intimation given last session, that the Court would visit the increasing offence of pot• stealing with increasing severity, until the gmetice be checked. SURREY SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY.) (Before THos/As PUCYLE, Esq., and a full Bench of Magistrates.) James Bulpit, 16, was indicted for stealing two pair of boots from the shop of James Banter, a bootmaker at Bermondsey. The wife of the prosecutor stated that while she was sitting at ber tea in the back room, on the evening of the 27th ultimo, she heard a noise in her shop, and on look ing up she perceived the prisoner creeping out of tlee shop with two pair of boots under his arm. Sh• instantly followed him, and after a smart chase captured him, but he had thrown the boots into the street. In defence, the prisoner denied being in the prose cutor's shop at all, neither did ho know anything of the boots. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—siz months at Brixton, and to be once privately whipped. BOW-STREET.(THIS DAY.) CAUTION TO SERVANTS OUT OF PLACE.—A respec- , tably attired middle-aged woman, who had anything but the appearance of a prostitute, was charged with being drunk and annoying gentlemen in the Mall of St James'a Park. Police-constable A 187, stated that last night ho was on duty in the Mall, in plain clothes, when he observed the prisoner accost and annoy several gentlemen, and requested her to go away, telling her that he was an officer; but instead of doing so, she commenced abusing him. She was drunk at the time, and, knowing i her to be a prostitute, he ultimately thought it right to take her into custody. Mr. HENav asked the defendant what she had to say to the charge? She indignantly denied that she was the character the officer had described her. She was a virtuous woman, having hitherto been in the service of several respectable families, and to•morrow sho was going into another situktion. Mr. HENRY wished to knew how it was that she was drunk in the Park? She replied that she was going home from a brother's in Wardour-street, Oxford- street , where she h a d b een s p en di ng the evening rather plea-• santly ; but although she bad been drinking s h e was not in the least intoxicated. _ _ repeated that she was, while the de impossible that a respectable woman like fen T d h an e t p r o t i i i t c e i r ; at : e ; d iT tat she was not, adding her opinion that it was -fir .m... 0 Mr. HENRY did not doubt that she was what she herself could get re presented herself to sbteh;crttoriet r w ea a s s on r b i i t o o tcolebaerliesvhee thats drunk. not sober, and it wa she had been guilty of the charge imputed to her. Still the fact of her having been arrested was a suffi cient punishment for the offence, and he should order her to be discharged. The defendant complained bitterly of having been dragged through the public streets as an offender against the laws, and accused the police constable of having un necessarily pulled her clothes about. Mr. HENRY thought that the drink she had taken must hare had some tili et upon her senses, and her own violence might have caused that. To some extent she ought to be thankful that she was allowed to go away without a penalty, but he hoped the night's imprison ment she had suff , red would be a warning to her to keep sober in future. She was then discharged. = FOREIGN PoTAToEs.---Largo arrivals of potatoes are now taking place from the continental ports, the production of France, Belgium, and elsewhere.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Univers, the Union, the Assemblee Nationale, and other organs of the parti-pretre, are in ec3tacies at what they consider the triumph of their party over the PRESIDENT in the affair of the Roman ques tion (a triumph to be attributed rather to the cha racteristic indecison of that man of words, ODILON BARROT than to any other cause), and the unqualified adhesion of M. TRIERS to the doctrines of the DE Mon- TALEAIBERTS and the DE FALLOUZ. Unfortunately, however, the value of the support of Al. TRIERS has been considerably diminished by an incident which occurred at the very time they were congratulating themselves on the great advantage their party was to derive from the alliance and support of the betrayer of the Duchesse DR BERRI. It will be remembered , that oil Friday M. Timm emphatically denied, in the Assembly, that he had ever, on any occasion, declared that the election of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE to the Presidency of the Re public would be a disgrace to France (une honte pour la France), and that he called out M. Bum because the latter declared he had heard M. - ,Tunis utter the words. The duel was fought, and it was hoped by the friends of M. Timms, that, as he had declared his honour satisfied without having received any apology or retraction, the incident might have been permitted to blow over. Not so, however, thought those who were cognizant of the truth, and the Journal du Havre of Monday, contains a solemn declaration, signed by the Mayors of Havre, Tugon ville Graville, and other authorities of the de -1 partment of the Seine Inferieure, who waited on M. TRIERS as a deputation in December last, in which they declare that on that occasion M. TRIERS did say, that the election of Louts NAPOLEON would be une honte pour la Frans.. We wish the parti-pretre joy of their new recruit. The PRESIDENT is said to feel exceedingly annoyed at the conduct of M. ODILON. BARROT, in not pro perly supporting him in the debate on the Roman question. Two Cabinet Councils were held on Sunday, and at the conclusion of the last couriers were dispatched to St. Petersburgh and Vienna. The Papal Nuncio had a long interview with M. DB Toc jUEVILLB on Sunday. General CEIANGARNIER has promoted Lieutenant PETIT to the rank of Captain, as a reward for having stabbed an unarmed man, and publicly insulted the civil power, by addressing the High Court of Ver sailles in language of abuse too indecently and dis gustingly gross to be repeated. Viscount D'ABLINCOURT arrived in Paris on Sunday from a visit to the Count DE CHAMBORD. The United States Ambassador, accredited to the Court of Spain, was turned back on the 17th by the police authorities at the French frontier, whilst en route to his post at Madrid, because his passport did not bear the visa of the Sub-Prefect of Bayonne. It is said that accounts have been received from Vienna, which state that Lord PONSONBY has assumed a very firm attitude with regard to the extradition question, while M. DE BEAUMONT has by no means exhibited a similar boldness. Galignani's Messenger says : " Several of the Paris journals have remarked upon the alleged absence of certain numbers of the corps diplomatique from the Marquis of Normanby's soitti in consequence of political motives; we have ascertained there is no foundation for the statement, the dis• tinguished persons alluded to having been present on both occasions." _ The v Moniteur publishes an account of the imports and exports for the first nine months of 1849, with a comparison with the corresponding periods in 1848 and 1847. In 1847 the receipts of the Customs fur that period were 99,847,2991.; in 1848, 62,826,1001. ; and in 1849, 95,152,863 f. The re ceipts for the months of September, 1847, 1848, and 1849 were respectively 10,855,9401., 8,733,6541., and 10,876,111 f. A letter from Toulon, of the 18th, has the follow ing—`• It is to-day announced that the squadron has left its anchorage at Hyeres, and it is generally be lieved that it has gone to the mouth of the Dardanelles, though reports are current that it ln.s sailed for Gaeta to escort the POPE to Civita Vecchia." PARIS BOURSE, MONDAY, OCT. 22. The market has been firmer to-day, and prices at the close were marked higher—Threes at 55f. 90c., and Fives at SSE 10s. The market closed as follows : Threes, fur cash, 56f. 90c. ; for account, 56F. 90e.; Fives, for cash, $3l. 15e. ; for account, 88f. 10c.: Bank of France Shares, 2,339 f. 50,!.; Neapolitan, 88f.; Spanish not quoted.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Weiner Zeitung of the 16th publishes the convention between Austria and Prussia on the German question. It is followed by a declaration signed by the Archduke JOHN, to the effect that " when the assent of all the German Governments shall have been accorded to the Convention, he will be ready to resign the dignity of Vicar of the Em pire, and give up to the Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PnusslA the rights and duties conferred on him by the National Assembly on the 12th of July, 1848." The Zeitung adds that the Austrian and Prussian Governments will, without delay, take measures for obtaining the consent of the other Governments to the Convention. The same journal states officially that, in conse quence of the requisition of General VON HAYNAU, his MAJESTY is pleased to grant the officers of the insurgent garrison of Peterwardein, who sur rendered unconditionally to the Imperial army, the same privileges that were awarded to the officers of the garrison of Comorn, on their capitulation on the 27th September. Those persons only are excepted against whom proceedings are to be adopted for special misdemeanours. The effective force of the Austrian army is about to be considerably augmented. The Breslaw Gazette states that Count LEININGEN WESTERBURG, father of Count LEININGEN, who was recently executed at Arad, has died of grief. His age was 80. 'l' U HKE Y. The Deutsche Zeitung has letters from Constanti nople of the Bth inst., announcing the arrival in the Bosphorus of a British fleet of observation. A salute of 20 guns was fired by the Turkish ships in honour of the British flag. ITALY. According to letters from Rome of the 13th, the POPE is expected to return to the Vatican in a few weeks. The French troops are, it is said, exceed ingly desirous of returning to France. It was hoped that the POPE might be induced to appoint a respon sible Ministry, which would include a fair proportion of laymen. PINELLI has tendered his resignation to the King of SARDINIA, which has been accepted. The vacancy occasioned in the office of Minister of the Interior by his resignation has not yet been filled up. La Legge of Turin asserts that emissaries, pretend ing to be refugees, have been sent into Piedmont by the King of NAPLES (who is acting in accord with Austria and Russia), for the purpose of exciting troubles and disorders, in order to afford the the Absolutist Powers an opportunity for interfer ing in the internal affairs of Piedmont. L'Opinione of Turin, contains correspondence from Saples, announcing that the Minister Foa- TUNATO has sent a copy of the letter of Mr. 'AzarLs, the English Minister, and of his answer to all the European Powers. The CZAR, who was already cognisant of the dispatch of Lord PALAIEI STON, had dispatched a courier to the Neapolitan Go vernment, calling on it to remain firm, and that Aus tria and Russia would support it. Mr. TEMPLE had replied to M. FORTUNATO'S note. The arrests in Naples continued to take place on the 14th ; even the Ministers disapprove of the violent conduct of the King of NAPLES. FORTUNATO and Duns° have, it is said, remonstrated, and Zuccui has resigned. There are great fears entertained for the safety of the prisoners confined in the dungeons of the King.of NAPLES it is considered not impro bable that the Jesuits may incite the lazzaroni to break into the prisons and massacre the prisoners; and the KING, it is said, would have no objection to an Absolutist September massacre. The Presse of Vienna of the 16th states that the port of Trieste is to be fortified and widened. The Conetitutzionale of Florence of the 14th states that on the previous evening an assemblage of people took place before an Austrian guardhouse, in which some persons accused of theft had been confined. The Austrian soldiers fired on the crowd, killing one man and wounding two others, by which much exaspera tion in the public mind was raised. The people broke into the l3argello Palace. lONIAN ISLANDS. Cephalonia was still under martial law on the 4th instant. VLACCO, NODERO, and BOBATTT, the three insurgent leaders, had not been taken but as they were without followers, and as the island was strictly blockaded, it was considered impossible that they should escape. Major SIMONDS was pursuing them from mountain to mountain, and the peasantry, who had been plundered by them at the commencement of the outbreak, every where j o i ne d i n th e p ursu it. On their apprehension the island would be released from martial law. ebitia /Titian NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Fifty Pounds, for two yrs old a feather, &c.

GREAT WESTERN FISHERIES COMPANY OE IRE LAND.—A company of .14,,nd0n merchants, under the above title, was formed and incorporated, according to Act of Parliament, in June last, having for its object the working of the fisheries of Ireland, which, when pro perly managed, and with sufficient capital, would afford such a mine of wealth, not only to the company itself, but would be the means of giving profitable employment to thousands of our able-bodied and hardy countrymen who are at this moment, with their families, in a state of destitution. I understand that some eminent members of the company have arrived in Ireland during the last few days, iu order to make the necessary preliminary arrangements, and from the importance of the question and the utility of the undertaking, the project must be hailed by all with universal satisfaction. — , Freeman's Journal.
