THE QUEEN'S VISIT to tho CITY It is with peculiar gratification that we announce the gracious intention of our SOVEREIGN to honour the City of London with a state visit on the occasion of the opening of the New Coal Exchange, that ceremony being fixed for Tuesday, the 30th instant, namely, this very day fortnight. An official communi cation from the Prime Minister, received this morn ing by the Right Honourable the LORD MAYOR, intimated to him, in his capacity as chief representative of the metropolitan Corporation, the intention of her Most Gracious MA JESTY, accompanied by her Royal and Illustrious CONSORT, to enhance by her presence the ceremo nials of the inauguration of a great national struc ture, second only in civic importance to the noble edifice of the Royal Exchange. We cannot but regard this gracious determination of the QUEEN as a signal mark of her estimation for the commercial greatness and the mercantile enterprise of the chief city of her Empire, the mercantile capital of Eng land, and the commercial metropolis of the world. The announcement, we are satisfied, will be a matter of exultation to the loyal citizens of London, and not less a source of interest and pleasure to all classes of the community. It will be a fitting and brilliant termination to a year in which the great Queen of ENGLAND has made the tour of her insular dominions. Having, in 1849, crossed St. George's Channel, to extend the generous influence of her popularity to the enthusiastic millions of Ireland ; having retired for a period to Balmoral, one of the Most secluded, as it is also one of the most picturesque localities of Scotland; having subsequently traversed several of the most beautiful shires of Old England on her return to the home of ber palaces, it is well to witness the close of these movements in the state visit of this august Lady to her ancient and loyal city of London. The occasion is to the citizens of the metropolis one deserving of our cordial felicitations. After a reasonable postponement, the new arrange ments made by the Post-office authorities will come into operation. It is unnecessary to remark that we are heartily rf-joiced at this circumstance, and it is, doubtless, equally superfluous to observe that our gratification originates in a conviction that the recent regulations will tend very much to simplify and even to diminish the labour on Sunda 3 s of the Post office officials throughout the United Kingdom. Twenty-five more clerks will undoubtedly be added to those alrea,ly employed in St. Martin's-le-Gra n d, but simultaneously two thousand others will be released from their provincial occultations. In defi ance of the trumpery opposition of the wretched little minority known as Sabbatarians, the humane and ingenuous project of Mr. ROWLAND HILL, sus tained as it is by the coincidence of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE will be carried into immediate effect, dissipating many very urgent and irksome grievances in the commercial world, and enabling 1,975 employees to abstain henceforth from those Sunday labours which have hitherto been regarded as essen. AL We speak advisedly when we term these, Sabbatarians A wretched minority, for thanks to the `a ,ou. common sese and the rational morality of ti ae lation, they do constitute a miserable and ab solutely contemptible minority when contrasted with the rest of the community. In illustration of this, it is only necessary to refer to the fact which transpired on the eccasion of the remonstrance made the other morning to the Prime Minister, at his official residence in Downing-street, when a person proclaiming himself the representative of the opi nions of Islington sub mitted a petition to Lord Joan RUSSELL. Now, be it observed, this vaunted p etition was paraded before the Premier as expressive of the opinions of the inha bitants of that immense district—and yet, though lying open for signature for several days—How many names, gentle reader, do you imagine were subscribed ? Why, two thousand two thousand out of a population of seventy thousand! Was there ever a more impudent pretence of repre sentation ? A representative of Islington empowered to speak for the opinion of that locality by 2,000 individuals out: of 70,000 inhabitants WE, the tailors of Tooley-street—talking as the people of England—is the only instance of impertinent imbe cility comparable to this ! Happily, however, the regulation of the public service of the country is not altogether dependent on the whims of fanaticism, or on the ipse dixit of such representatives of Islington. Our mind being now thoroughly satisfied that the Government has no intention whatever of rendering the plans of the Postmaster-General subservient to the caprices of this little hysterical squad of Sabbatarians— we can contentedly and conscientiously pronounce our views as to what we regard as the proper observance of the Day considered by some to be so liable to Desecration. On a previous occasion we remember to have observed that the ejaculation of ROBESPIERRE, "If GOD had not really existed it would have been necessary to invent him," is singularly applicable to the Sunday. The remark is not unworthy of repetition, if only as ex pressive of our opinion that, even viewed simply in a social point of view, the ordination of a day of rest like the Sunday is admirable beyond all terms of panegyric. Of course in a religious aspect the matter is still more highly deserving of consideration; yet merely regarding it, we maintain, in a social light, the ordinance of the Sabbath under the Jewish, and of the Sunday under the Christian dispensation, is indicative of profound wisdom, of the most judi cious economy, and of the most exalted beneficence. It enables the toiling millions to pause at due inter vals, to refresh their jaded energies by relaxation, to strengthen their thews and sinews by repose, and to invigorate themselves for a repetition of their efforts, their labours, and their anxieties. It is the green spot in the wilderness of each returning week — the halting-place for mental, for bodily, and, what is yet more, for spiritual refreshment. Each Sunday is one out of a long succession of oases—where, each of us, travellers in the journey of life, travellers from the starting post of the cradle to the goal of the grave, may tarry awhile at appointed intervals to drink deep draughts of consolation from the inexhaustible foun tains of Religion. Such is our estimation of the day prdained by Christianity for the repose of the body from lab,iur and for the prostration of the soul in homage before the Omnipotent GOD. Rational repose and solemn adoration are the aims of this great ordinance of religion. Observed, therefore, with proper respect, the Sunday would become a day replete with solace and gratification—the holiday of the form and of the intellect, not the wretched festival of superstition— a day to be yearned for with eagerness, not to be rendered repulsive by an overlading of irksome and frivolous regulations. Those who would be instrumental in transforming this bene ficent occasion into one of a severe, an austere, and an unattractive character, 'are militating against the beautiful scheme of Revelation, are blurring the bright mirror of morality, with the miserable effigies of their own sanctimonious hypo crisy. We are against them, not as scoffers, but as among those who reverence the majestic lineaments of Christianity. We are against them, not as contemning the observance of the Sunday, but as solicitous that its observance should not degenerate from a decent and elevating celebration into a grim and despicable mummery. We are against them, because we abhor the shallow assumption of superior sanctity, whether it squanders ostentatious alms in the purlieus of the Poultry, or blows the trumpet of its adoration in the precincts of Downing-street. Away with them! They are not more the exponents of the opinions entertained by the inhabitants of London, or by the population of Great Britain, than that very absurd gentleman who had the impudence to call himself the representative of the 70,000 residents in Islington—than the three pragmatical tailors of Tooley-street, who called them selves the People of England. WILLIAM BEERS and the Orange magistrates of Castlewellan notoriety have flung down the gauntlet to the QUERN'S representative in Ireland, and if we may augur from the past conduct of Lord CLAREN DON, the engagement will be accepted. Jowl MITCHEL, with certainly higher objects, did the same, and is now paying the penalty of his temerity in painful_ exile, witb the felon's brand upon hie name, MITCHEL inscribed on his re bellious standard the proud watch-words of national indepe nelence, and bearded British authority under the inspiring guise of Patriotism and Liberty. BEERS and his confreres would defy British power, and trample upon British law, under the blood-stained rag of a paltry faction, inscribed with the Shiboleth of a narrow and ruthless bigotry. Are the doughty BEERS and the " Tollymore Park cheese-eaters," likely to do with impunity what MITCHEL could not do with the spell words of nationhood and freedom ? 'We believe not—we believe the Irish Viceroy will act with energy, wisdom, and dignity, and will maintain the supremacy of the law through the length and breadth of the land. WILLIAM BEERS, ex-J. P., has issued a se cond manifesto, more rabid, more intolerant, and more bombastic, if possible, than his. first. The ignorance of historical facts, and the reckless and wilful blind ness to recent events manifested in this swaggering rhapsody, would be fit subjects for contempt or ridi cule ; but the atrocious truculence with which be gloats over these scenes of strife and blood, the demoniac malignity with which he puts forward his vile intention to continue them, calls upon us to brand him as the enemy of his country and his fellow-man. He says he anticipated his first letter would have driven a certain portion of the press into "paroxysms of fury and madness." It would seem the " Grand Master of the County Down Orange men" loves to feed his sanguinary appetite upon fury and madness. What chance is there for peace in in Ireland while such men are entrusted with place or power ? What respect can there be for laws while such men hare any share in their administration ? There can be none, and we trust that ere long we shall see the magisterial beneh, from one end of the island to the other, purified, by strik ing from the list every Orangemen in the land. We would put the Orangemen and Ribbonmen in the same category, we would rigorously enforce the laws in existence against secret societies, and if they were found insufficient, we would advise the enactment of new ones. Orangeism, since its introduction into Ireland in 1795, has been one of its most baneful and fatal curses. It has done more to create dissension and bring hatred and contempt upon the laws than the misgovernment of centuries. At first it consisted of a set of low, brutal savages, who, under the name of " Peep-of-Day" or " Break-of-Day- Boys," attempted by actual force to expel whole sale the Roman Catholics from Ulster. The cry was raised to " Hell or Connaught," and the barbarous cry was enforced by wrecking the humble homes and frequently sacrificing the lives of the Catholics. The Government of the day connived at these atrocities. The Orange Society, encouraged by impunity, arising from this connivance of the authorities and the supineness of the magistracy, spread rapidly, and soon embraced in one unholy brotherhood all the ignorance and bigotry of the land. The tribunals of the law became polluted, at their source ; the magistrates, the sheriffs, the jurors were Orangemen. Thus fostered and countenanced, they resorted to acts of the most re volting and intolerable aggression against the Catholics ; they drove them from fair and market, assailed life and property, desecrated their places of worship, Vaned their houses, and in many instances SUN, LONDON, shed the blood of their fellow men, for no earthly reason but because they chose to worship their GOD 'heir fathers had done, according to the dictates of as ,_ their co: 4C i e nCe• Th e R om ,, , u Catholics, despairing of getting any redress or pro!Rotion against these flagrant abuses and aggressions, seeing that the fountains of law were corrupted, that the Bench and the jury-box were alike tainted with the leprosy of Orangeism, were driven, in self-defence, to follow the baneful example of their enemies, and in 1812 formed the Ribbon Society—a society which in many parts of Ireland has gone far to rival its Orange parent in wickedness and crime. These two vile confederacies must be crushed by the strong arm of the law, parent and child must be put under ban, Orangeism and Ribbonism must be extirpated from the land, and the man who belongs to either branded as the enemy of Ireland. In 1835 some charges against Orangeism were investigated by a Committee of the House of Com mons, and in the report we find these remarks on the system : " The obvious teniency and effect of the Orange institution is to keep up an exclusive association in civil and military society, exciting one portion of the people against the other—to increase the rancour and animosity too often unfortunately existing between persons of different persuasions, to make the Protestant the enemy of. the Catholic and the Catholic the enemy of the Protestant, by processions on particular days, attended with the insig nia of the Society; to excite to breaches of the peace and bloodshed; to raise up other secret societies among the Catholics, in their own defence, and for their own protec tion against the insults of the Orangemen; to interrupt the course of justice and to interfere with the discipline of the army, thus rendering its services injurious instead of useful, when required on occasions where Catholics and Protestants may he parties. All these evils have been proved by the evidence before the House in regard to Ireland. Where the system has long existed on an extended scale, rendered more prejudicial to the best interests of society by the patronage and protection of so many wealthy members, high in office and in rank, taking an active part in the proceedings of these lodges." In 1815 Judge FLETCHER, one of the best and most able judges then in Ireland, took occasion to declare from the bench— " That the Orange lodges were the source of great evils in Ireland, that they fermented much of the dis order which existed—that the effect of their proceed ings was to rake up embittering recollections, and in flict wounds upon the feelings of others—that they had produced the most mischievous effects in the north of Ireland, and had tended to keep the country in the de graded state in which it then was—that they prevented the due administration of justice, and poisoned its very fountains—that magistrates, under their influence, had in many instances violated their duty—and that, in his opinion, until they were put down, and their arms taken from them, it was in vain to expect peace in the north of Ireland." In these wise and honest senticreats of the Learned Judge we fully concur, and we earnestly trust speedy and energetic steps will be taken by the Irish Go vernment to carry them into full, wholesome, and efficient effect, and thus give that poor prostrate and famine-stricken land some chance of amelioration by the establishment of peace, law, and order. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday and Monday. The report of M. LITERS on the Roman expedition is the subject of comment in all of them. It is con sidered as "the outward and visible sign" of the abdi cation, on the part of the Orleanists, of all their pretensions, and of a complete surrender on the part of the THIERS party to the Parti Pretre. M. TRIERS never yet embraced any party that he did not betray, and he has now betrayed, the PRESIDENT of the Republic and M. ODILLON BARROT, as he formerly betrayed King Lows PHILIPPE and M. GuizoT. The Journal des Debats expresses its surprise at the absence from the report of all allusion to the PRESI DENT'S letter ; and the National concludes its com ments on the subject in the following words :—" One last act of apostacy was wanting in the life of M. Tnisas. He has just accomplished it on the altar of Catholicism, with his Lead upon the knees of the clergy and his feet in the blood of our soldiers." The Patrie declares that the Ministry will oppose the adoption of the course recommended by M. TRIERS in his report. M. MOLE has had several interviews with the Rus sian Minister of late, and it is said that intrigues are on foot for the deposition of the PRESIDENT, the dis solution of the Assembly, and the immediate restora tion of the Count DE CDAIABORD as " absolute King," to be effected by the arms of Russia, should her gold not prove irresistible. The Akbar of Algiers, of the 7th, announces the death of the Cherif Bou CIF, who had of late called himself Bou Maza. It appears that on the 3d this chief and another, having under him a fraction of the Zouaouas, concerted measures together near a village of Beni-Hannoun, and there descended into the plain towards the country of the Cherfa and Beni-Manou. But the movement INcame known at Aumale, and the Governor of that place, led on by Lieutenant BEAUPRETE, went out to oppose their progress. lhe inva ling party were repulsed, and Bou Cir, attempt ing to cover the retreat with some horsemen, was killed, and his flag taken by the French. His body was after the encounter found on the spot where the resistance had been most stubborn. PARIS BOURSE.-MONDAY, OCT. 15.

Several Carlist officers have been restored to their rank in the army. The publication of the tariff continues. Among other things, horses and harness are now admitted, the former at duties varying from 80 to 1,600 reels in Spanish vessels, and from 100 to 2,000 reals in foreign ones; the latter at 30 percent. ad valorem in Spanish, and 40 per cent. in foreign vessels. The duty on salt fish (baoalao) is higher than in the former tariff. Bacalao imported direct from the fisheries of Europe and America was valued at 80 reels per quintal, and taxed 30 per cent. on that valu ation under the Spanish flag, and 40 per cent. under a foreign flag. In the new tariff the duty is fixed at 35 reals per quintal in a Spanish and 48 in a foreign ship. The duties imposed on most articles are rather higher than before. In the previous tariff cast-iron was valued at 40 reals per quintal, and the duty in a Spanish ship was 15 per cent. on that valuation, and one-third more in a foreign ship; fine metal ditto, valued at 60 reals per quintal, with a duty of 25 per cent., and one•third more if in a foreign ship, and wrought iron 100 reals per quintal, with 40 per cent. duty in a Spanish ship, and one-half more in a foreign ship.

MURDER OF COUNT LOUIS BATTHYANI The Red EMPEROR and his accomplice ILtyptAu, who, it appears, boasts that " he is a tiger, a blood• hound, and a hyaena," have perpetrated another murder, and now the blood of Count Louts BATTHYANI has to be avenged upon the head of the Red Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH, :the woman flogger., The murder of Count Louts BATTHYANI has pro duced the most int ense s ensa ti on at Vienna. From the Vienna journals of the 9th and 10th we gather the following details respecting the commission of this most atrocions crime : " Count LOUIS BATTRYANI,"says the 031-Deutsche Post, "had voluntarily surrendered to Prince WIN DISCLIGNATZ. Ile was one of the members of the deputation from Pesth that waited upon the Imperial Commander-in-Chief to eff.ct, if possible, a peace able solution of the struggle against Austria. Since then he remained a prisoner, and his name was scarcely ever mentioned. Suddenly it is upon every lip, and the report is spread, that B&TTIIYANI is sen tenced to die upon the gallows. The eflect produced by the report was visible in the countenances of all, and many looked anxiously forward to the morning fixed for the execution; for although the energetic measures of the state of siege set any great demon stration at defiance, still something unusual was ex pected—either an act of mercy or an act of despair. The morning came, and the dawn broke upon an TUESpAY EVENIN'a OCTOBER 18, 18,10. assembled multitude of many thousands round a gallows erected on the Holz Platz. A rumour suddenly spread through the crowd that BATTHYANI had attempted suicide in prison. It proved true ; but either the hand of the unhappy man or his energy failed him. Though he gave himself various wounds he did not deprive himself of life ; he, how ever' escaped the rope. Twelve hours later, at night fall, he was led out and shot. As yet it is a mystery what influence prccured the substitution of poWder and lead for the rope. Common report says that the wounds in the Count's neck prevented the rope being used. BATTIIYANT, however, walked, it seems, with a firm step to the place of execution ; and, before he fell, shouted in a clear voice, "Eljen a haza," or long live my country ! A fearful silence pervaded the multitude at this solemn moment. Some ladies, ap parently of the highest classes, endeavoured to steep their handkerchiefs in the blood of the dead man,but were driven back by the guards." Another account says The Count appeared very emaciated, and if possible paler than usual ; he nevertheless walked with a firm step and calm coun tenance to the fatal spot. The soldiers employed were Jiigers. The silent multitude were much moved. It would appear that the substitution of powder and ball was not a modification of the sentence, but a necessary consequence of the wounds inflicted upon himself by the Count." Lloyd's says :—" The condemned was dressed in a suit of full-dress black. Though evidently very weak, he advanced without support to the place of execu tion ; there was a large assemblage of people on the Homok. Having uttered a short prayer, the roll of the drum was heard, a sharp volley, and all was over. The crowd then separated.' The Prrase, though reputed a Ministerial journal, condemns the execution of Count BATTHYANI in strong terms. A letter from Vienna of the 10111, says—" You must not chide your correspondent if his letter con tains nothing but accounts of executions. BAT THYANI'S only led the way; many others have fol lowed him to the scaffold. On representations being made to HATNAU against these executions, he replied by holding out the parchment which conferred un limited powers upon him. They style me, ' he said, a bloodhound, a tiger, a hyaena; I am ready to take upon myself the responsibility of my acts.' So much is he feared that the officials in Pesth trembled for their lives because they bad not hanged BATTHYANI at once, instead of postponing the execution for twelve hours. HAvissu is said to have been greatly incensed when he heard of the postponement." The official Gazette of Pesth of the 7th publishes the sentence as follows : "Louis Count Battbyani, native of Presburg, aged forty years, a Catholic, married, avowing in part, and legally convicted of having, in his quality of Prime Minister of Hungary, taken, executed, or caused to be executed, measures greatly outstripping the administra tive limits of Hungary, as guaranteed by the laws of March; of having weakened the legal bonds between Hungary and the hereditary States of the Empire estab lished by the Pragmatic Sanction; of having created dangers threatening violently to overthrow the constitu tion of the State; also of having, after having resigned on the 3d of October of last year the post of Prime Mi nister, by joining the ranks of the insurgents, by making a public appeal to armed resistance, by re-assembling the Diet dissolved by his Majesty, fortified and main• tained the cause of the revolution; has been for the crime of high treason sentenced to the confiscation of all his property, and to death by strangulation; and, after confirmation and publication, that sentence was carried out to-day. " THE IMPERIAL AND ROYAL COUNCIL OF WAR. " Pestb, Oct. 6, 1849." We would direct the particular attention of our readers to this official record of the sentence, as it gives the lie to the abominable calumnies with which the reactionary correspondents of the London re actionary newspapers have loaded the unfortunate man, to the effect that he was particeps crirninis in the death of LATOUR. The Vienna Presse says, " The late Count Louis BATTHYANI was descended from one of the most ancient Hungarian families. Richly endowed by fortune, and stamped by nature with all the marks of chivalry, he was an aristocrat in the fullest sense of the term. His political opinions were more anti- Austrian than Radical. In many sessions of the Presburgh Diet he shone as a leader of the Opposition in the Upper Chamber. Though not conspicuous as an orator, his speeches were always listened to with interest, and carried weight with them on account of the position he occupied. At the election for the member for the Pesth county, in the autumn of 1847, the anti-March Government raised heaven and earth to turn the scale in their own favour. The Opposition had put up KOSSUTM, and they succeeded in carrying him. It is supposed that next to Count CASIMIR BATTHYANI (now at Widdin), his cousin Count Louis contributed the most to the issue of this election, so pregnant with disaster for Austria. When the revolution broke out in Vienna, the deceased was one of the deputation that obtained the famous March concessions. When the EMPEROR had taken from the Palatine Archduke STEPHEN the almost unlimited power of executive, which had been accorded him for a time, a monster de putation, headed by BATTIIYANI, came to Vienna, for the avowed object of obtaining the royal sanction to laws passed in the Diet of Buda-Pesth, one of which was the celebrated Bill for the levying of recruits and altering the credit of the country. The sequel is known. in the last moment of external peace between Austria and Hungary, in the first moment of conflict for life and death, Count BAT THYANI resigned the Ministerial office, entered as a common soldier in a Hussar regiment, and took no part in the proceedings of the National Defence Committee. On the arrival of Prince WINDISCH GRATZ at the head of his army in Pesth, a deputation, consisting of Louis BATTHYANI, Archbish , p LONOWICi, and DEAR, came to entreat him to spare the town, and to enter upon negotiations for the pacification of the country. He was arrested, and has ever since remained in confinement." THE NEW CENTRAL POWER. CONVENTION BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND ____ AUSTRIA. The following is a translation of the Convention between Prussia and Austria, signed on the 30th September at Vienna, and ratified by Prussia on the 10th October : " Sec. 1. The Government of the German Confedera tion, in concert with the Administrator of the Empire. agree upon an interim, during which Austria and Prussia take upon themselves the exercise of the Cen tral Power fur the German Confederation, in the name of all the Governments of the Confederation, until the I s t May, 1850, for reason that this power cannot be transferred to a definiti►e Power before that period. " Sec. 2. The object of the interim is the maintenance of the German Confederation, as of a union based upo❑ the right of nations, of the pri❑ces of Germany, and of the free towns, for the conservation of the independence and integrity of their States, comprised in the Confede ration, and for the maintenance of the internal and ex • ternal freedom of Germany. "Sec. 3. Pending the duration of the interim, the affair of the German Constitution is left to the free con certation of the individual States. " The same as regards to those matters which, accord ing to the sixth article of the Act of the Confederation, appertain to the full assembly of the Diet. "Sec. 4. Should, at the expiration of the interim, the affair of the Get man Constitution not yet be settled, the German Government will concert together for the pro longation of the present convention. " Sec. 5. The affairs hitherto conducted by the Provi sional Central Power, insomuch as, according to the le gislation of the Confederation, they come within the competency of the reduced council of the Assembly, are made over, pending the duration of the interim, to a commission of the Confederation (Bundes-commnis•sion) for which Prussia and Austria will each appoint two members, to hold their deliberations at Frankfurt. The other Governments may have themselves represented by Plenopotentiaries to the Commission of the Con feration, each State individually, or more States con jointly. " See. 6. The Commission of the Confederation conducts its affairs in art independent manner, under i:s responsibility towards its committees. It takes its resolutions after deliberation in common. If its members cannot come to an agreement, the decision is to be made by a negotiation between the Governments of Prussia sad Austria, who, should the case requite it, will submit the question in point to the arbitration of three Governments of the Confederation. In such case, Austria will appoint one, and Prussia another Government. The two Govern ments thus selected to appoint the third to form the court of arbitration. The members of the commission of the Confederation divide the affairs assigned to them in this sense, that according to tho legislation of the existing Confederation, and especially according to the military constitution of the Confederation, they conduct them themselves, or direct and superintend the manage ment of them. " Sec. 7. As soon as the consent of the Govern ment shall have been given to the present proposition, the Archduke Administrator shall resign his high office, and place all the rights and privileges of the Confedera tion intrusted to his taro in tho hands of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, and of his Majesty the King of Prussia." The Frankfort Journal announces that the Arch duke Vicar of the Empire has adhered to the treaty between Austria and Prussia on the German question. PRUSSIA. General RAUCH is about to start from Berlin to St. Petersburgh on a mission to the CzAR. He is, it is said, charged to offer the mediation of Prussia between Russia and Turkey. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Government Commissioners have just pub lished an ordonnance, dated the 4th, commanding each member of the magistracy of Eskeronforde to receive ten Prussian soldiers, who shall be billeted in their houses until such time as the magistrates shall have consented to publish the ordonnance of the Government Commission which abolishes the fundamental law of the state. Very aciive communication is being carried on between the Government Commissioners and the Cabinet at Berlin. General VON BorcaN immediately on his return from his mission to Berlin had a con ference with the Commissioners, which lasted several hours. This mission chiefly had reference to the position of the Prussian officers in the Scleswig- Holstein army. It has been determined that no ob stacle whatever shall be opposed to their remaining in that army, but as soon as the differences now sub sisting between the Government Commissioners and the local administrations shall have been settled, a distinct ordonnance will be published by Prussia, according to which the officers have the permission of their Government either to remain in the Schles wig-Holstein army, or to re-enter the service of Prussia. 111* VON HANNON, also the chief of the depart ment for Foreign Affairs, is gone to B er li n , an d unless appearances are altogether deceptive, there will speedily be a perfect understanding between the Commissioners and the Prussian Government, and consequently, also, with the local Government, a consummation which is most heartily to be desired. A body of Danish troops embarked at Copenhagen on the 6th for Olsen. This is merely a precautionary measure called for by present circumstances. It was reported at Hensburg on the 10th that the Danes had thrown two pontoons across the river from Sonder burg to the Sandewitt. We have not been able to ascertain the truth of this. lIAMBURGH, OCT. 12.—The rew press-law, which on the 4th was posted at all the corners of the Streets, came into operation on the 10th.—German Papers. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was in a very excited state, and compared with last week's rates, quotations of American and Surat were ad., and Brazil id. per lb. dearer. The sales were estimated at 25,000 bales, including 5,000 American, 2,000 Brazil, 500 Egyp tian, and 4,000 Surat taken on speculation. The trans actions comprised 15,000 American, 3,500 Brazil, at 6d.; 1,200 Egyptian, at 6id. to 74d.; and 5,000 Surat, at 4id. to sd. per lb.—Th ere was a dull and heavy market for Railway Shares, and prices generally continued to decline. The accounts from the Continent state thattn most of the stock markets business was tolerable active. At Amsterdam there was not much doing, except in Portu guese Stock. Dutch T wo - an d- a -H a l; per Cents. were 53k. The Frankfort market on the 13th instant was better for Austrian Stock, viz., 89i, and in the Vienna Bourse on the 11th inst. prices were heavy at the com mencemont, but firmer afterwards. There are no later ship arrivals from the colonies or other distant parts. The publica . tion by the North-Western Railway Com pany of the ameunt of transfers effected during the nine months ended the 30th Sept. last, and to the like date of 1848, serves to confirm what indeed has for some time past been apparent, via., that they are far smaller than many would suppose, and that time bargains exceed them ten, aye, perhaps twentyfold. The statement before us shows that with an additional two millions of capital paid up, making over 17 millions now, the trans iers have not amounted to half a million sterling, and that they are less than they were last year. It ❑ow behoves the other companies to make the like returns, and a check may then possibly be put upon the Bearing system, although we much fear that nothing will prove effectual, so far, but an increase of traffic or fares. There is an apparent settled disincli nation to buy for investment, and, until this is removed, the market cannot assume the least buoyancy, or, at any rate, any permanent stability. We have so many unfortunate examples of railway embarrassment, some of them, we hope, tempo rary, that we cannot feel surprised at the general mis trust prevailing. The Caledonian Company not having paid any dividend on the ordinary shares has fixed nu date for the liquidation of the interest guaranteed upon the Clydesdale Junction, although it was due on the 15th of August last, and warrants, in the ordinary course, should have been issued a month afterwards. It appears that it is discretionary with the company when they pay, but what are we to say of railway investments when such uncertainties arise where least expect( d? The Great Northern Railway Company recently issued the following notice:—" The Scrip 'Certificates for the 12-1/. Five per Cent. Preference Shares of 7th June, 1849, will not be ready to issue until the 12th October, when those parties who have paid up the full amount of the shares can receive them in exchange for the banker's receipts." From inquiry at the office, it appears unlikely that the scrip can be issued before Thursday next. The head direction of the Dutch Rhenish Railway announces to the shareholders—lst. That the advertise ment of the 31 September, addressed to those who had at that period not paid the sixth call of 10s. per share (making 8/. per share paid) is withdrawn and cancelled. 2dly. That the very latest period for the payment of that call, which, according to an advertisement dated the 19th July, was fixed for the 24th of August, is now extend to the 20th November next. The English Stock Market has been rather fluctuating, the intelligence from Paris of the asserted compli cation in the Ministry having led to a slight reac tion. Consols have been 921 and are now 921 seller©. To-morrow being account-day has the usual influence on prices. Exchequer-bills are 445. to 465., and India Bonds 81s. to 845. premium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 921 to I. In the Foreig❑ Investnientsthere is a fair business doing. Mexican Bonds have touched 27 and 27i, owing to the official information of the further amount likely to be received for the dividends, viz., 80,000 dollars by the packet after the next due here. Peruvian Bonds are 53i Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 331, and Spanish Three per Cents. 33i. Dutch Four per Cents. are 82i.

The Corriere Mercantile, of Genoa, of the 9th inst., says : The amount of capital offered for the purchase of Rentes to meet the loan exceeds all expectation. It may be affirmed, without any fear of mistake, that the thirty millions and more placed at the house of Rothschild would have been all easily taken by the capitalists of the country itself." _ _ A fetter from Naples, of the 3d inst., states that orders had been given to arrest P. DENTICE PRINCE DE St. GiAcomo, a Conservative Deputy, who had always voted with the Bozelli Ministry. Lately he declared that the Ministry in question had acted illegally, and could not any longer be supported. Information of the intended arrest having been com municated to him he took to flight, preferring exile to prison. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. Accounts reached us this forenoon of a bloody conflict which took place last night at a place called Killoughy, in the King's County, originating in an attempt of a body of country people to carry off the crops. The police, about eleven in number, inter fered, when the plunderers fired a volley, by which one policeman was killed on the spot, two more mortally wounded, and four more severely so. The police fired in return, but with what effect is not yet known, owing to the darkness of the night. Another account says, at the first ,fire three po licemen fell, and while some of their comrades assisted to carry away the wounded men, those who remained were overpowered by numbers and obliged to retreat into their barracks, into which several valleys were discharged after them. The entire booty was carried off in triumph to the House of Keys at Rahan, with the exception of one load of corn, which was thrown off on the road side to make room on the car for the wounded banditti. ELECAMPANE. Sonnets and Odes have been echoed in praise Of many grand doings on many grand days; Days when a victory-scroll was unfurled— Da) s when proud princes were born to the world; But I've just tuned my harp to the lightest of notes, And so smile as ye may while its melody floats: For I must and I will play a merry refrain On the red-letter days of sweet " elecampane." Famed honey of llvbla, oh! where's thy renown To the almond-stuffed hardbake's, so lusciously brown? Olympian ambrosia, oh! what wert thou worth, Compared with the " Everton toffy" of earth? And the ox eyes of Juno! did ever they flash Like the " bull's eyes" we bought with our Saturday's cash? Oh, tell us, Anacreon, was not thy strain First awakened to rapture by " elecampane ?" Who forgets the quaint shop, or the street-corner stall, Where he purchased his " brandy" condensed in a " ball ?" Where his tongue ran on politics freely and glib, In the earnest destruction of " Bonaparte'a rib;" Where the " peppermint twist" its fair rivalry tried With the quite as fair "lemon twist" close by its side. Tell me, men "upon 'Change," have your glory and gain Yet extinguished the halo of "elecampane?" How we crammed and devoured the treasures we got, Rock," "candy," and " comfits," and heaves knows what, That were no Dead Sea apples with ashes beneath, For the innermost morsel stuck most to the teeth. What bites of ecstatic enjoyment we had, With a "something to suck" we could never be sad; The school and the lesson, the book and the cane, Were endured by the tonic of " elecampane." Say, who of us paused with the terrible question 01—how such indulgence would suit the digestion ? Whoever asked whether such doses were good For the " tone of the system " or " state of the blood?" Whoever at that time turned nervously faint O'er the drop of molasses and streaks of red paint? Whoever discovered the weight of a brain, When its trouble was balanced by " elecampane." You may set us down now at the feast of a night, Where " temples of sugar" gleam out in the light; Where the " bons-bons" of France in pro!usion appear, And the saccharine " crackers" come thick on our ear; But whoever dreams there of beginning to eat, Whoe'er thinks the mysterious things are as sweet As the " stuff" that we craved, in King Lollipop's reign, In the vulgar formation of " elecampane." The Bard that's immortal has plainly averred, That the man whom the breath of soft music ne'er stirred, Who hears nothing divine in Eolian reeds, Is fit for nought else but the blackest of deeds, I as truly and firmly believe that the child Will grow into a monster, all dark and defiled, A Lucretia or Nero, where hope is in vain, If its heart is untouched by sweet "elecampane."

I3ROUGLIAM ON ITUNGARY.—A letter from Paris says:—" On Thursday evening Lord Brougham dined with the Marquis of Normanby at the British Embassy; all the Foreign Ministers, except those of Austria and Sardinia were present. An animated discussion of the extradition question took place between Lord Brougham and Kisseleff. On the latter asserting that all the noise in England was made by the 'Liberal press,' his Lord ship assured the Russian Minister that Whig and Tory, Lord Aberdeen and Sir Robert Peel, were united as one man upon the question, and resolved to support Turkey. This silenced Kisseleff, who abstained from pronouncing another word on politics." ABERNETHY'S COURTSHlP.—Abernethy, the cele brated surgeon, is stated thus business-like to have wooed and won his wife:—While attending a lady for several weeks, he observed those admirable qualifications in her daughter which he truly esteemed to be caleulated greatly to make the marriage state happy. Accord ingly, one Saturday, when taking leave of his patient, he addressed her to the following purport:---" You are now so well, that I need not see yeu after Monday next, when I shall come and pay my farewell visit. But in the meantime, I wish you and your daughter seriously to consider the proposal I am about to make. It is abrupt end unceremonious lam aware, but the exceFsive occupation of my time by my pro fessional duties, affords me no leisure to accomplish what I desire by the more ordinary course of attention and solicitation. My annual receipts amount to 10,000/. and I can settle 5,000/. on my le ife, my character is ge nerally known to the public, so you may easily ascertain what it is. I have seen in your daughter a tender and affectionate child, an assiduous and careful nurse, a gentle and ladylike member of your family; such a person must be all that a good husband could covet, and I offer my hand and fortune to her acceptance. On Monday when I call I shall expect your determination, for I really have not time for the routine of courtship." In this way, however, the lady was wooed and won, and the union proved a happy l one in every respect.
