ANOVELTY for the approaching season is in preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimens can be seen at 114, 116, and 120, Regent street, and 22, Cornhill, as also THE TREBLE Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65) Ix its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice versa, at the pleasure of the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre• elated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in this variable climate. 'I'HE NICOLL has been secured by Royal Letters Patent in ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTL kND, and the COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or shroud, et elessrs NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENT and in LONDON only of thentselve 4 , viz., at 114, 116, 120, REGEN r-STREET, and 22.

Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar York, " To Mr. Thomas Prout, " 14th June, 1847. "Stn,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six ye . ars from repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best Medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have also very tauch improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tl , ey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my Case worthy of insertion among the many cures cffec7.ed by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully. " J. J. WILSON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complains, speedy and certain relief. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of " Thomas I'rout, 22), Strand, London," im pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Genuine Medicine. T HE FIRST OF . OCTOBER TO SPORTSMEN. While the Autumn dew-drops glisten On the grass and fading tree, Listen, fellow-sportsmen, listen, To a word or two from me. Nature now is calm and sober; Autumn's beauties are revealed— 'Tis the month of pale October, When the sportsman seeks the field. New delights are now presented To the man that loves his gun; Other favourite game is scented, Other sporting havoc done. But, I pray you tell me, brothers, Whether you're prepared or not? Have you changed your coats for others, Like the one which I have got If you've ne-er been to MOSES' For a stylish coat, and strong: Py your pointers' tails or noses, I declare you've acted wrong. MOSES' for a moderate figure, Far outrival all the trade ; And I'd never touch a trigger In a coat by others m ide. No one in his serses sober Messrs. MOSES could condemn, Therefore, since 'tis now Octooer, Buy your shooting-coats of them. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and arc as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM.—By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p tid for th• first five years—the retained halves,•being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted. whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy: continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER 411IP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. Os the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representativei of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until It can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission •r Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

Reader, remember, this letter was put Int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. IT. Grimstoie, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is lunch stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. 131.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any Lady of respectability to the above fact •.-3, Swan-street, Borough." — ln eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, at° w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair front coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the meet aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few apoplications. If need on infants' toads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Bee pamphlet of testimonials.

On Saturday evening a special meeting of the Sanitary Committee was held in the Board Room in Lichfield-street, to consider the propriety of discon tinuing the house to house visitation. Mr. Pooltan was in the chair, and Messrs. Dee, Allday, Waters, Guest, Wright, Mills, Ilebbert, Johnson and Maiden, attended. A deputation from the district medical officers, consisting of Dr. Ilinds, Mr. Simons, and Mr. Hill, were also present. Mr. Jones likewise attended. Mr. CORDER, the clerk to the guardians, reported that he had transmitted to Colonel Arbuthnot a copy of the vote of thanks passed on Thursday, and that he had received the following letter of acknowledgment from the gallant Colonel : "Birmingham, Sept. 29, 1849. " Sir,—l had the honour yesterday evening to receive your letter of the 28th instant, transmitting to me a resolution passed by the Sanitary Committee of the Board of Guardians of Birmingham. "I beg you will be so kind as to thank the gentlemen composing the Sanitary Committee from me, for the resolution they have passed, and assure them I feel highly gratified at this mark of attention to me on their part. "I have the honour to be, sir, "Your most obedient, humble eervant, " C. ARBUTHNOT. "J. Corder, Eq., Secretary to the Sanitary Committee, Birmingham." On the motion of Mr. ALLDAY, seconded by Mr. DEE, it was resolved that Colonel Arbuthnot's letter be entered on the minutes. The Committee then proceeded to consider the propriety of discontinuing the house-to-house visita tion; and after carefully examining the various medical returns made up to Saturday evening, the Committee, on the motion of Mr. WATERS, unani mously came to the following important resolution : " That the Committee, in taking a retrospective view of its labours, is satisfied that it was imperatively called upon, under existing exigencies, to institute the house-to-house visitation, so strongly recommended in the 7th notification of the General Board of Health; but that, from the present highly satisfactory state of the public health in Birmingham, as is obvious from the me dical returns and other evidence before this meeting, this committee does not deem it necessary any longer to continue such house-to-house visitation, and hereby directs that it be discontinued accordingly," Amongst other returns from the medical gentlemen, the follow ing extremely gratifying report from the medical officer of the 1( district was read : " September 29, 1849. " Sir,—This afternoon I visited those parts of my district where diarrhoea has been most prevalent, viz., London 'Prentice street, Lichfield-street, Old Cross street, Tanter•street, and Vauxhall-street, and have found but three cases. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " J. G. SPROSTON. " To the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee." We presume, therefore, that the labours of the Sanitary Committee, and those acting under them, which hitherto have been most arduous, will now be somewhat relaxed, and the nightly meetings dispensed with ; but we hope the committee will continue to watch over the health of the town, and adopt all ne cessary measures for removing, as far as practicable, everything prejudicial to it.—Aril' Gazette. COURT or ALDERMEN.—A discussion, we are given I to understand, took place with closed doors on Saturday amotzst the members, upon the subject of certain errors in the Act recently passed " to amend an Act passed in the eleventh year of the reign of George I. for regulat ing elections within the city of London, and for preserv ing the peace, good order, and government of the said City." Alderman Sidney had given notice of motion to draw the attention of the Collet to what appeared to be the objectionable clauses, and to obtain the opinion of the law officers of the corporation upon the construction to be placed upon the wording of them; but as the Court was cleared of strangers, and it was his belief that the public was deeply interested in the matter, especially as some of the clauses of the Act had a disfranchising effect upon the constituency, as well as incapacitated the aldermen from performing some of their most important duties, and altogether calculated to produce confusion and embarrassment, he would :move that the Court be counted. As he persevered in his motion, the Court, in which there were at the time no more than ten members present, was necessarily declared to be no longer a Court. Previously to the conversation on a subject which has made so much noise in the City the following business wv.s transacted. The Sheriffs reported that all the City prisoners were in a clean and healthy condition, and free from fever and other infectious diseases. The thanks of the Court were voted to the Rev. Mr. Catley, the chap lain to the Lord Mayor, for his excellent sermon preached at the church, St. Laurence Jewry, previously to the election of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, and the Reverend Gentleman was requested to cause the same to be printed, and to send copies to the members of the Court. SCIENTIFIC FISIIING.—Great surprise has been expressed upon the number anti cheapness of red mul lets that have been in the Loudon market this season (1849); it arises from a circumstance which, though trivial in itself, shows the necessity that exists for some means of giving instruction to fishermen, so as to en able them to prosecute their avocations with more faci lity and certainty. A well-known gentleman in the west of England, noticing that the mackerel and red mullet arrived on the coast together, and that there was a large fishery of the former and none of the latter, en deavoured to find out the reason; he ascertained that the red mullet obtained its food from the mackerel, and consequently they swam lower; he therefore directed the fishermen to have a deeper Seine net, by which means they will be enabled to take both kinds at the same time. —Soyer's Modern Housewife. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF TIII3 DAY. TIMES.—The issue of the Hungarian war has been followed by consequences for which we were wholly unprepared, and which threaten to disturb, if not the peace of Europe, at least the amicable rela tions of the Western Courts of Europe with that of St. Petersburgh. There seems to be no reason for doubting that the Russ;an Ambassador at Constanti nople has made a formal demand of the Porte for the surrender of the Hungarian revolutionists who took refuge within its territories. There seems to be just as little reason for doubting that the demand has been rejected, and that the Russian Ambassador has re ceived orders from his own Court to quit Constanti nople immediately. Should these reports prove to be as well founded as we believe them to be, a rupture between the Porte and the Court of St. Petersburgh is at hand, which will very possibly terminate in a general European war. On the course pursued by Russia on this occasion it is hardly necessary to dilate. There can be but one opinion upon it, whether it be regarded in its relation to the comity or the equity of nations. It transgresses, it tramples on, both. It violates the established rules by which the inter course of civilized countries has been heretofore guided. It perils the peace of Europe while it violates its laws. We can the more easily afford to speak thus of Russian policy, because we have sup ported it in the recent Austrian dissensions. We regarded—as we believe every person at all acquainted with the state of eastern Europe must regard—the prospective dismemberment of the Austrian empire as one of the greatest calamities that could possibly afflict Christendom. It would have been felt through the whole length and breadth of the civilized world. It would have torn up by the roots all order, all law, all political science—everything in the form of government or society—in those scattered fragments whose cohesion forms the united Austrian empire. Whatsoever may have been the faults and delinquen cies of Metternich, or the vices of the Central Government at Vienna, they were slight and trivial compared to the terrible calamities which the disso lution of that Government must have produced. It would have given loose to the most absurd jealousies and the wildest aspirations, to projects of visionary commonwealths and schemes of impossible na tionalities, to intestine dissensions, to tumults, and almost uninterrupted wars. The pre vention of such a catastrophe was a consummation to be desired as much by other states as it was by Austria herself; and we thought, in common with the friends of rational and well-tempered freedom throughout the world, that even necessary and just reforms in the details of the Austrian polity would wisely be postponed until after the destruction of the anarchy which menaced the existence of the empire. The intervention of Russia under such circumstances was not only in accordance with the ordinary privi leges of a friendly Power, but was actually demanded by the security of Europe. But the present aspect of Russia is a very different affair. She appears in a character, for which if there be precedent there is no justification. In the demand which she now makes upon the Turkish Court Russia asserts a right of interference which has never yet been accorded to any nation. She actually seeks to extort from Tur key a violation of that which has always been considered a law binding on all civilized communities. The very admission of foreigners into any state whatever be their descrip tion—is a guarantee that the Sovereign of that state will extend to them the rights of native subjects. I'his generally understood law can be neutralized or modified only by special contract. "The Sovereign," says Vattel, " ought not to grant an entrance into his state for the purpose of drawing foreigners into a snare ; as soon as he admits them he engages to pro tect them as his own subjects, and to afford them perfect security as far as depends upon himself." (Book IL chap. 8.) If there has been any clause in a treaty either secret or avowed by which refugees are to be mutually given up by each of the contracting Powers, then this general law is specially abrogated. But, in the first place, these treaties for the most part refer to felonious crimes, which it is the interest of all civil societies to punish, and not to political misconduct, of which a foreign state can hardly be supposed to be a judge. In the second place, they make mutuality a condition of the contract. So that, supposing a treaty does exist between Russia and Turkey, by which Turkey is bound to give ur Russian refugees, the same treaty would compel Russia to surrender Turkish refugees to the demands of the Porte, If this be not the state of the case and Turkey be bound to make concessions which she is not entitled to exact, then the position in which sh .tands to Russia is not that of an ally, but of a de pendent. This would be the case if the refugees vs le had crossed the Turkish frontier, and domiciled them selves on Turkish soil, were Russian subjects. Bu in what relation do the two Powers appear to each other, when the exiles whose bodies Russia demand are aliens, whose subjection she does not pretend to claim, and whose homage she has no right to enforce? If any Power has a right to make this claim, it i, Austria; and Austria could do it only by virtue 01 treaties. The Emperor of Russia has no more right to do so than the Emperor of China—unless it be on the faith of some clause in the Treaty of Unkiar Ske lessi, or on the faith of the weakness and helplessness which suggested and dictated that strange compact. This is the true solution of the problem. Russia strong and the Porte is weak. Russia exacts with the view of obtaining a servile concession or provok ing an unequal conflict. The answer of the Porte has been worthy of its former greatness. The mo rality of Moslem shames the profligacy of Christian morals. The Hungarian refugees are beaten, van quished men. As such, they are entitled to the pity of all nations. They are strangers, seeking the hos pitality of a people with whom hospitality is an article of religious faith. As such, to abandon them would be an act of impiety as well as of inhumanity. The Porte will not surrender the exiles, who have thrown themselves on her soil, even to the powerful Sovereign who can bring into the field 700,000 men. Stripped of nearly all her strength—with little but the tradi tions of her past splendour remaining—distracted from within and menaced from without—Turkey'still clings firmly to the noblest article of her faith, and holds it like a shield over the helpless and the humbled against the Autocrat of the strongest empire in the world. And the Power which does this i 3 the ally—the ancient ally of England. True, we have not always behaved to her with the honesty or the affection of allies. There have been untoward events in our relations which we should take an opportunity of repairing. She is the ally also of France. France, too, has a reputation to repair. The two countries have blustered and declaimed much about upholding the liberties and civilization of the world. The time has now come when these pro mises should be made good and these boastings justified. The question is, shall we, or shall we not, abandon an ancient ally and acquiesce in an arrogant dictation which insults all the states of Europe ? Having decided what is the proper course to take, shalt we content ourselves with peddling protests and peaceful jeremiads ? On our decision and our action hang the immediate fate of Turkey, and it may be the prospective destinies of India and of England herself. CHRONICLE.—When the last revolutionary flood swept over Europe, we deprecated the hasty removal of the old boundaries and landmarks: we sedulously laboured to impress upon the champions of innovation that order was essential to real progress ; and the fear of being called " Absolutist? did not check the expression of our gratification when (to borrow Canning's fine image) the spires and turrets of ancient establishments began to re-appear above the subsiding wave. History and experience had taught us that it was impossible to improvise constitutional governments or free states; and there was one pro found remark in M. Lamartine's famous Circular, which confirmed, instead of revolutionizing, our views : " Governments are the expression of the dif ferent degrees of the maturity of the genius of the different nations. This is a question of time. A nation goes astray in outrunning the hour of that maturity, as it dishonours itself in allowing it to escape without seizing it." For example, we were and are strongly impressed with the conviction that Lombardy outran its hour ; and there is a single circumstance, placed, by the testimony of Manzini and other unimpeachable witnesses, beyond a doubt, which outweighs all the impassioned eloquence ever levelled against the " iron yoke" of the " heavy handed and heavy-headed Germans" across the Alps. The grand object of all social or political institutions is justice; and justice has been better administered in the Aus trian provinces than in any other part of Italy. We, therefore, regarded the ultimate success of Radetzky not as the triumph of matter over mind—of brute force over intellect, hut rather as the restoration of law, order, and authority, the only sure guarantees for reason, art, science, commerce, education, industry, and peace. The merits of the Hungarian contest must be decided upon somewhat different grounds, although the future destinies of the House of Hapsburg — an essential member of the modern continenttasltasys tem, as settled and understood by the wre admire men—were far more seriously involved. their chiefs ; but we cannot join valrous gallantry of eror for resisting their thespirit, m c a o g n y st a a r r a , ni tn e. en s in blaming the youthful Enna i o " s u k r il a l g a e n o d f chi insurgentdt re r t iengg claim of independence; and we know no code of in ternational law which forbade his calling in the assis tance of an ally. Neither did we discern any marked sign of grasping ambition, or unbridled lust of uni versal empire, in the readiness with which the Czir responded to the call ; for the panics cum proximus (inlet principle will go a long way towards justifying such a course. But the rights of self-preservation have their limits ; they do not extend to punish ment, much less revenge ; and there are sanctuaries which the mightiest potentates must respect. No monarch can be allowed to bestride the narrow world like a Colossus, to punish an offence of laze majeste ; and the Czar demanding, in his own name or in that of his youthful protégé, of a weak neigh bour, that Hungarian refugees shall be instantly handed over to their tender mercies, i 3 a spectacle by which, the most exalted Absolutist might be shocked. Before hazarding a definitive judgment, however, it may be as well to make certain of our facts. Ac cording to the most authentic accounts Bern, Dem binski, Kossuth, Perzcel, and other Hungarian lead ers, have taken refuge in the Turkish fortress of Widdin. Baron Sturmer, the Austrian envoy, requested the Sublime Porte to surrender them; a request with which the Sultan, after consulting with the English Ambassador and the French Envoy, declined to comply. Baron Sturmer was still quietly pressing the demand, when Prince Radzivil, an aide-de-camp of the Emperor of Russia, arrived at Constantinople. The instant surrender of the re fugees was his ultimatum ; the offer of the Sultan to confine them to the fortress, or to send them into the interior under strict surveillance, was pronounced unsatisfactory by ,the Prince; and when the latest intelligence left Constantinople matters seemed ripe for a general quarrel—Russia and Aus tria, preparing for an unjust aggression, whilst Great Britain and France stood pledged by their representatives to maintain the sacred cause of reason, justice, and humanity. It will be observed that no distinction is drawn between Poles and Hun- garians, or between Russian and Austrian subjects. It is not alleged that the refugees belong to Lord John Russell's " circulating society of revolutionists," nor is any complaint advanced or proof offered that they have made an undue use of their reception in a friendly territory, with a view to the renewal of the war. The treaty on which Russia is said to rely has consequently no application to the case ; and that treaty, even as regards subjects of the contracting powers (Turkey and Russia) gives the alternative of " driving persons, guilty of treason, &c., out of the states of the power where they have taken re fuge." On this state of facts, the Czar might just as rationally require Great Britain to deliver up M. Louis Blanc or M. Ledru Rollin ; and if Red Republicanism should gain the upper hand in France or Germany, we might be required to deal in the same manner with M. Guizot or Prince Metter- nich • since any recognised Government would be en dowed with the same privileges as the Czar. The civilized world might then witness once again the state of things which the Roman historian describes as existing under the Caesars; when every man of independent mind felt oppressed by the crushing consciousness that the despot's arm could reach him in the remotest corner of the globe. Nor let it he thought a sufficient answer that Great Britain may laugh unjust demands or foolish menaces to scorn. It is one thing to interfere officiously ; and another thing to hold aloof from controversies involv ing the progress of society and the permanent inte rests of mankind. The manner in which the rule of international law in question has operated on both civil and religious liberty was admirably exem plified by Mackintosh in his defence of Peltier. After dwelling on the constant wars in which great States were engaged, he says : " Smaller States, exempted from this cruel necessity, directed themselves to the arts of peace. They became places of refuge for free and fearless discus sion. They were the impartial spectators and judges of the various contests of ambition which from time to time disturbed the quiet of the world. They thus became peculiarly qualified to be the organs of that public opinion which converted Europe into a great republic, with laws which mitigated, though they :ould not extinguish, ambition ; and with moral - ribunals to which even the most despotic Sovereigns were amenable." . . . . " These Governments were, in other respects, one of the most beautiful and interesting parts of our ancient system. Their weak ness was protected only by the habitual reverence for justice, which, during a long series of ages, had grown op in Christendom. Consider the situation of Geneva, rowded with exiles from &Hands Call to mind, if tges, crowded into years, have not effaced them from your memory, that happy period when we scarcely lreamt more of the subjugation of the feeblest republic of Europe, than of the conquest of her mightiest empire, and tell me if you can imagine a ,peetacle more beautiful to the moral eye, or a more striking proof of progress in the noblest principles of rue civilization. We would fain hope that the facts may have been mistaken, that some explanation may yet reach us, or that the offensive ultimatum will be withdrawn. We cannot believe that Russia and Austria will make a casus belli of the Sultan's tem perate refusal to do what would dishonour him in the -yes of the whole civilized world. Hospitality to the listressed wanderer is a virtue which it would be barbarism to proscribe; and the alleged disinclination of the Czar to listen to the remonstrances of France or England, when deprecating a general war for so inadequate an object, is utterly irreconcilable with the moderation he has displayed throughout the whole of the late revolutionary disturbances, or with the amicable relations he has sedulously maintained towards both countries. HERALD.—The news from Constantinople con veyed yesterday by our Malta and Constantinople correspondents, is undoubtedly grave and menacing ; but we believe it to be infinitely less grave and menacing in consequence of the manly attitude taken by our able and excellent Ambassador at the Porte, Sir Stratford Canning. If England were now repre .ented at the Porte by some such nonsensical dandies tnd fribbles as we have seen abroad in high diploma tic places in the service of England, there might be some danger that the peace of Europe would be dis turbed ; but in dealing with such nations as Russia decision and firmness are real wisdom and real strength. No diplomatist in our service is better aware of the tactics and tricks of the Russian Chanecileric than the able man bearing the name ,and inheriting with it much of the spirit and vigour, of his illustrious relative the late George Canning. Fortunate, indeed, it is for England—fortunate also for Turkey— that at this peculiar juncture, an able and experienced, as well as a determined man, is our Ambassador at the Sublime Porte. In order, however, that our readers may understand the actual position of affairs, Tthhee Congress , of it is necessary that we should somewhat recapitulate. At the close of the Hungarian struggle, in which be it remembered, the Magyars were combatting for the literal fulfilment of their ancient constitution, the Emperor of Austria and his Cabinet, unable to cope with a dependency which had right and law on its side—the Emperor of Austria, we say, who had illegally availed himself of the services of the Croats, was, after a long straggle, fairly checkmated, when, in an evil hour, he was counselled to apply for aid to his Imperial brother the Emperor of Russia. Rus sian assistance, after much preparation and some delay, arrived. After a gallant and glorious contest, in which the Magyars exhibited—what they always have exhibited—consummate bravery, and the very highest strategetical talent—dissension and division began to prevail in their ranks, and, at length, Georgey, one of their leading generals--but more conspicu ous for commanding the largest and best appointed corps d'armee,—deserted the national cause, and sur rendered on conditions to the Russian army. The precise nature of these conditions has never been made public, nor is it necessary that they should be here set forth. On conditions, however, the largest and best disciplined portion of the Magyar force surrendered to the Russians. But another portion of the Magyar army still continued the war, and though harassed by two large armies, sustained the Hun garian cause even against hope itself, retreating towards the Transylvanian and Turkish territory. At length the undaunted and adventurous Bern, so full of energy, promptitude, and resources—at length the more patient and calmer, but not less tenacious. Dembinski—at length the melancholy and enthusi astic Kossuth—the quick and fiery Perczel—the faithful and chivalrous Guyon, with many others toco numerous to mention, after many hair-boedh 'stapes, crossed the Turkish territory and arrived rued by the on neutral ground.

But the Porte was firm,and refused to accede to so unreasonable a request. The rage of the Czar now knew no bounds. He dispatched on a special mission to the Porta a Pole by birth, but whose family are now chiefly domiciliated in Rus sian Poland, a Prince Radziwill, who haughtily de manded that Bum and Dembinski should be delivered up within thirty hours to his Imperial master, at the same time candidly declaring that it was the humane intention of his Sovereign to hang these Poles, on possessing himself of their bodies, without an instant's delay. The well-bred Sultan, in dignified terms, responded tl the arrogant autograph letter and to the indecent threat, that he confided this delicate question to his Ministers, in whom he placed every confidence. Radziwill, on this, retired and sought the Grand Vizier, demanding a categorical answer. The Ministers of the Divan were accord ingly convened, and after a discussion it was resolved not to comply with the Russian request, a determi nation that was approved of by the Sheik-ul-Islaem, and the whole body of the Ulemas. On this state of facts the two ambassadors presented an ultimatum, and intimated that diplomatic relations would be broken off, if the Divan did not yield to the demands of the two Governments. The Turkish Govern ment holding to its firm and honourable resolve, the Russian Ambassador announced the suspension of intercourse between the two coun tries, and Prince Radziwill, it is said, immediately took his departure for St. Petersburgh. It remains now to consider whether there was the shadow of a pretence for requiring the delivering up of these fu gitives • and it is our deliberate opinion that there is not and cannot be the least shadow for requiring such a monstrous perversion of all international law, justice, and hospitality. A stranger flying into any country, though a criminal, is entitled to hospitality. Even though he has offended the municipal or cri minal laws of the country to which he belongs, still no proceedings can be taken against him (if not made the condition of special treaty or convention) unless with the consent of the Sovereign in whose territory he is momentarily abiding. Thus, the de livering up of forgers and murderers by the English, French, and American Governments, respectively, is made the subject of special convention, and is, more over, regulated in France by the " ode d'lnstruc tion Criminelle." But the delivering up of political refugees is a principle repudiated by all civilized Governments. Such a demand could only be made by a Government so hyperborean as that represented by the Czar of Muscovy. It is a proof of advancing civilization that the demand is indignantly scouted by the Grand Turk, the Divan, and all the Ulemas. Neither the treaty of Kutschuk Kamaradji nor the treaty of Belgrade have any bearing on the subject, or are in the least in point. The conduct of Bern and Demsbinski in 1831, 1832, and 1833, in Poland is dehors the Hungarian question, and cannot be im ported into it. But even though it might be prayed in aid, one would think with a magnanimous Prince there was an international Statute of Limitations. Any efforts of Beni or Dembinski in 1848 or 1849 were not against the Emperor of Russia or his Government, but in support of the Hungarian con stitution. The Czar, therefore, cannot call these efforts lam nzajestatis against his Imperial crown and authority, and with no show of right or reason can he persist in his demand of what the French call (the word is not English) extradition. The demand, however, is probably made, not with a view to immediate war, but with a view, for the present, to the occupation of some portion of Turkish territory. Should the design not be gra dually to make aggression en the Turkish territory— should the desire of the Czar really be to throw down the gauntlet to Western Europe—why, then, every civilized power in the world will aid with its good wishes and hopes the Porte, and the two greatest Powers in the world will not suffer either a just prin ciple or an independent nationality to perish without a struggle. We are well aware that Russia has thirty sail of the line in the Baltic—fifteen sail in the Black Sea, with as many frigates, and troops enough dis posable in Transylvania, Wallachia, Poland, and the southern provinces of her empire. But though she is proximate to the scene of action, and England far removed, with only five or six sail in the Mediterra nean (one of which is detached to Gibraltar), yet the Czar must be conscious that the people of England will not, even under the imbecility of a Whig Go .. vernment, permit an ancient ally to be spoliated, or the balance of power in Europe to be destroyed, either by him or by the Emperor of Austria, or by both Emperors united. In reference to this subject we may, in conclusion, remark that that very Russell, whoso feebly sneered at Mazzini a few days ago, will within four months be driven from office, unless the navy of England be now speedily put on a footing commensurate with the exigencies and the fame of this great empire. POST.—Very considerable alarm is felt or affected by some of our contemporaries on the subject of the existing relations between Russia and Turkey. The Czar, it is said, has demanded in terms the most peremptory and offensive the extradition of the Polish and Hungarian, refugees. The Prince Radzivil is reported by the Times to have "openly declared the intention of the Emperor to hang every one of these persons the instant they fall into his hands." In one part of the statement of the sapient contemporary this marvellously judicious and persuasive argument, with all that belongs to the alleged requirement, is assigned to the Russian Embassy. "As to Austria," he says, "she has sunk into complete insignificance, her name is not even mentioned in the present negotiations." In proof of this we are told that the Porte communicated to the Russian and Austrian Embassies its final deter mination of rejecting the demand." We are elsewhere informed that the Russian and Austrian Ambassadors (the latter, of course, having sunk into com plete insignificance, and never having been even named in these negotiations) forwarded to the Divan on the MCI their ultimatum, which inti mated that relations would be broken off in thirty hours unless the Divan should consent to deliver up the refugees. The Austrian note demand ing the fugitive Hungarians, we further read, was based on the treaty of Belgrade of 1739, though that treaty provides for no such case, while the Emperor of Russia is alleged to have relied on the second article of the treaty of Kutschuk Kahnardji of 1774. The article in question is as follows, and can have no application at least to the Hungarians as demanded by the Czar " Art 2. If, after the conclusion of this peace, and the exchange of ratifications, any subjects of the two em pires who may have committed: capital crimes, or have been guilty of disobedience or treason, shall seek an asylum with one of the two Powers, they shall not be received by it under any pretext whatever, but shall be delivered up on the instant, or at least driven out of the states of the power where they have taken refuge, in order that such malefactors may not occasion any cool ness of friendship or any useless disputes between the two empires, excepting only those persons who shall embrace the Christian religion in the empire of Russia or the Mahometan religion in the Ottoman empire. In like manner, if any of the subjects of the two empires, as well Christian as Mahometan, having committed any crime or misdemeanour for any motive whatever, should pass from one empire to the other, they shall be at once delivered up when claimed." The proceedings, therefore, of Russia, which are declared to be real, and those of Austria, which are said to be and not to be at the same time, are not more devoid of humanity and of justice than of policy and of common sense. We have no doubt, then, that there is egregious misrepresentation of the facts f this important case, and that the "imminent danger" of a European war exists in the prolific and haply not unprofitable imaginations of the self-elected curators of European peace. is it probable that the Nicholas who, on receiving the submission of Georgey, made it his first care to intercede with the Emperor of Austria for the merciful use of victory, shoul d p ursue a course at once so repulsive to his well-known; "io senti ments and so contrary to the author it y o c , ay or tional law ?

He con gratulated the successful candidates on being able to par ticipate in the benefits of the fund. The meeting then separated. LIFE DEPARTMENT.

C UGURATION OF THE NEW SHERIFFS. .er the swe;ring•in, le inaugural dinner of the new Sheriffs took yesterday evening in the ancient ball of the ,nters' Company, London-wall ; Mr. Sheriff .ence in the chair. Covers were laid for about 160, and among those present we noticed—The Right Hon. Sir James Duke, M.P., Lord Mayor; J. Masterman, Esq., M.P., Sir John Key, J. Williams, Esq., M.P., Geo. Bankes, Esq. (the Cursitor Baron), Alderman Farncombe, the Lord Mayor elect), ex- SLeriffs Finnis and Goodhart and the Under-Sheriffs, Charles Pearson, Esq., M.P., Aldermen Kelly, Sir George Carroll, Hunter, and Musgrove, W. F. A. Delane, Esq., Messrs. J. 'Walker and W. Tite, civil engineers, &c. The banquet-hall, of which we give a detailed de,cripticn below, which, singular to relate, has never been used for an entertainment of this description for the last three centuries, was tastefully decorated with flags and banners bearing appropriate mottoes and devices, and thronged as it was with clusters of happy guests, interspersed with here and there a civic functionory costumed in his gorgeous robes and insignia of office, presented altogether a pleasing and animated coup ( f ceil. The hospitality of the worthy Sheriff, on the occasion was of the most liberal and sumptuous character; and the entire arrangements for the table, which were under the direction of Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the London Tavern, fully sustained their high and widely extended reputation. On the removal of the cloth, the customary loyal and national toasts were fitly given from the chair, and cordially honoured; after which Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE rose to propose "The Health of Sir James Duke, the present Lord Mayor." He said he had to thank Sir James for honouring him and his brother sheriff with his company at that board. It had been a usual practice—a practice so usual that it had almost acquired the force of law—for Lord Mayors attending the inauguration dinner of the sheriffs to preside over the entertainment. But on this occasion their excellent Lord Mayor had thought fit to deviate from that custom. He had said that this was a sheriffs' dinner, and that he would prefer attending as their guest.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor had so conducted himself during his mayoralty at to win golden opinions from all quer. ters. He had not only performed his magisterial functions to the satisfaction of the citizens of London, but they bad conferred on him, in the exercise of a sound discretion, the honour of sitting as one of their representatives in Parliament. He was sure that all present were :rejoiced to see their Lord Mayor so highly honoured, and that they would all heartily join him in drinking to his good health.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in rising to express his grate ful acknowledgments for the kind manner in which his name had been received, as proposed by his excellent friend Sheriff Lawrence, could assure them that he should have done great injustice to his own feelings if any official etiquette had deprived him of the pleasure of meeting his excellent friend and that distinguished company.—(Cheers.) The chairman had correctly stated the practice on these occasions to be for the chief magistrate to be honoured by filling the chair ; but he confessed—and he hoped that his fellow-citizens would agree with him—that in this instance the rule would be " more honoured in the breach than in the observance ;" for he con sidered that on the occasion of the sheriffs entering for the first time on their important public duties they would be the best interpreters of the feelings and intentions that actuated them in undertaking the responsibilities of their high office ; and that it would not, therefore be proper that their functions there should be delegated to a third party—(Hear, hear) — especially as they were themselves so well quali fied to discharge them satisfactorily. He (the Lord Mayor) was obliged to hi 3 ex cellent friend for the kind terms in which he had spoken of him, and he could assure them that as the period of his official career was now fast draw ing to a close he should endeavour to finish the remainder of his mayoralty as he had humbly striven to continue the preceding part of it—to the entire satisfaction of his fellow-citizens.—(Cheers.) IVith regard to the other high and responsible position which the citizens had recently conferred upon him, he could only say that, although not gifted with the superior qualities that distinguished many Members of the House of Commons, he yet hoped he would not fail in an honest desire to discharge his duties faithfully to the best of his ability. On all occasions when the important interests of the city were at stake, he hoped they would find him ever ready of access and zealous to render his best services whenever they were required. As he would not have an opportunity of addressing them again in his pre sent capacity, he wished to say that he was quite sure that both of the respected gentlemen who sat on his right would be found acting most cordially together and endeavouring to be useful to their fellow citizens. —(Cheers.) With these observations, he begged to return them his most grateful thanks, and Le trusted that when he retired from office he %could leave behind him some public testimony of his usefulness. After a brief interval, The LORD MAYOR again rose, and said the com pany would be ready to anticipate the toast which he had now the honour of proposing to them. And though that honour devolved upon him in the public office he held, he could yet assure his honourable friends and that distinguished company that it was not less gratirying to his feelings on private grounds to propose the health he was about to give. It had been his good fortune and privilege to be long ac quainted with his excellent friend Sheriff Lawrence ; and he had some acquaintance also with his junior colleague, who belonged to the company over which he (che Lord Mayor) had the honour to preside.— (Cheers.) And while he had to congratulate Sheriff Lawrence on the assemblage around him on this occasion of a distinguished company acquainted with his many merits and public services, he had to express a hope that his junior colleague would endeavour to trace out for himself an equally honourable and praise worthy career. Of the former gentleman it would be presumption in him to speak to them in the lan gusge of eulogy. Mr. Sheriff Lawrence bad long presided over the ward of which he was now Alder man, as a most useful, intelligent, and independent member; and he was sure the citizens of London would feel that they could not possibly have selected a gentleman who could discharge with higher honour to himself, or greater advantage to the public, the im portant duties attached to the office of sheriff. It was with great pleasure that he bad that day heard from a gentleman sitting on the left of the Sheriffs (Mr. Bankes, M.P., the Cursitor Baron, we presume), the approbation of her Majesty of the choice which the citizens had made, and also to hear from the Recorder a recital of the high character of the ancestry of Sheriff Lawrence, some of whom had been chief magistrates of that city. But however honourable and distinguished had been the fame of his ancestors, he (the Lord Mayor) would venture to say that his own high character would leave behind him a name at which none of his lineage who had gone before him would have need to blush. He was sure that both of his excellent friends would faithfully serve their fellow-citizens in their responsible situation, sad that, when their term of office should expire, they would both retire with that meed of approbation which the citizens of London were always forward to bestow upon those who were entitled to it. 'He had, therefore, much pleasure in proposing, with all the honours, the health of the Sheriffs.—(Drunk with loud and hearty plaudits.) 1 Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE, in returning thanks, said he owed his fellow-citizens a heavy debt of gratitude for the confidence they reposed in him. He should eadeavour to deserve their esteem by the faithful discharge of his duties as far as he was able ; but he must trust to the good feeling of the magistrates of London, and those with whom he was ass ociated, for their kind support to enable him to perform th e duties of his office as he should wish. Mr. Sheriff Nicom. also acknowledgetdhatthehecowma; pliment, and said he need scarcelyhich y : t inned to hold one of that numerous cla ss in great respect the times nhonwoured c ustoms and inlai d he should endeavour to tutions of this co untry, .o p t o r w us e t r, t o ether committed w i t t o h support the dignity t f t i h s e his e charge to the utmo.s li ly hospita connected therewith . associated customary He rejoiced to find that he Wa s with a gentleman whose worth and LC h h i e s ers o .) 6ce recognised--(H ear, hear.) had been so frequently kear.) For himself, he trusted that his fellow•citi zens would accept the zeal and perseverance he hoped he had in some measu re acqu i red in t he course of a somewhat energetic commercial caree . r, i n the place of those higher qualifications which might have been found in other candid ates o r his office. . His worthy . colleague had so feelings in . well . described his (Mr. Nicoll's) expressing his own, that little was left for him to say ; but he desired most emphatically to as sure them that he would never be found to flinch from doing what he believed to he right in itself, from fear of political cr conventional considerations; and that he would ever show himself sensitive alike of their honour and his own, so long as he continued in their service.— (Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE then proposed, in a warmly commendatory speech, the health of George Bankes, Esq , M.P., Cursitor Baron of the Court of Exche quer, and commented upon the excellent manner in whicl he discharged his duties in connexion with the ceremony of presenting the Sheriffs of the City of London to the Lord Chancellor at the Court of Ex chequer, Westminster, preparatory to their being duly sworn in there. Mr. BANYES, M.P., returned thanks, and referred to the heartfelt gratification it afforded him to find that his efforts in his official capacity as Cursitor ' Baron gave satisfaction to the distinguished company ' which surrounded him. He adverted to the history of the municipal institutions of the city of London, i and alluded to the fact that the ancient hall in which they were assembled bad fortunately escaped the NOTICE !
