Hungary—whether by treason, or by brute force, or by both combined, it matters not, as far as our present argument is concerned—has been invaded, desolated, and conquered, has been trodden down under the feet of a despotic coalition. One party to this great crime of cruelty and spoliation has with drawn her forces. The Russians have retired beyond the northern boundaries of Transylvania. The Austrians have been left sole masters of the van quished country. German soldiers have garrisoned the fortresses. German civilians are already being installed in all the lucrative offices of the Administra tion. German captains, headed by the ever-infamous lILYNAU, have erected their military tribunals in the principal cities, to stab and strangle, to shoot and hang, to destroy by the musket and by the gibbet, those heroic hut unfortunate patriots who, while repelling the advance of their assailants, only afforded them the noblest examples of magnanimity. Hence forth Austria must be regarded, in its relation to Hungary-, as •ccupying the position of a robber and an assassin. Henceforth the Austrian EMPEROR must be viewed simply and exclusively in the light of an Usurper. During the last eight hundred years Hungary has appeared in the history and on the chart of Europe as an independent nation. It has had during those eight centuries a Representation of its own, a Constitution of its own, and a Government of its own. Subject to no other kingdom beyond its frontiers, it has, throughout that long period, preserved all its popular rights intact, rights of immemorial antiquity. It is true, undoubtedly, that the royal office has been latterly filled by the reigning Sovereign of that heterogeneous assemblage of states called Austria ; but that union of the regal dignity in the person of the representative of the Hapsburg dynasty is of comparatively recent date ; and it must, moreover, be borne in recollection that it was conferred upon the descendants of RUDOLPH voluntarily by the Magyars —at first electively, and afterwards as a hereditary rank on certain conditions. Those conditions were to swear fealty to the Hungarian Constitution on the day of coronation, and to observe that solemn oath with truthfulness after coronation. Nov, according to the latter stipulation, FERDINAND the Faineant forfeited the crown of St. Stephen by breaking his engagement; and according to the former stipulation Frcaricrs JOSEPH, the Woman-Flogger, has no more right to that crown than we have, never having been selected as its possessor by the Magyars, and conse quently never having taken the requisite oath on the day of coronation. So glaring and preposterous is the folly of calling Hungary an Austrian province that it has been scouted as an absurdity by every rational juriscon suit. One has even gone so far has to declare em phatically—" If England is a province of Hanover, then, and not any more, is Hungary a province of Austria; and King ERNEST of Hanover has, at least, as much right to the throne of England as FRANCIS JOSEPH has to that of Hungary." Indeed the relative position in which Austria stands to Hungary could not have been more felicitously indicated than by this comparison between it and the relation subsisting between Hanover and England. Besides, even sup . posing FRANCIS JOSEPH to have been crowned, like his predecessor FERDINAND, with the diadem of St. Stephen, the Magyars would still retain the power possessed and exercised at intervals by them selves during no less than six centuries, the power of deposing their monarch at pleasure. For it is expressly decreed in the Magna Charta,of the Hungarians, namely, in the Bulla Aurea of 1222, that the people hold the right of resistance whenso ever the King or any of his successors fail to observe the terms of that ancient and venerable charter. FERDINAND (the first of Austria, the fifth of Hun gary) ceased to be king over the Hungarians so soon as his duplicity was discovered. FRANCIS JOSEPH in like manner, supposing he had been elected and crowned sovereign of Hungary (which he never has been), would ipso facto have been dethroned by drawing the sword, and causing his army to cross the frontier of his German territories. To talk of the revolt of the Hungarians is consequently to talk sheer nonsense. As has been said very forcibly and very admirably by one of our pamphleteers—' , Eng land would not be in a state of revolt because she resisted an invasion by King ERNEST (of Hanover), and the Emperor of AUSTRIA. is , so far as Hungary is conce rned, a mere invader of a foreign and inde pendent kingdom." Yet men babble about the " revolt" of the Hungarians as if the treason Was a the side of the M a gy ars, and not on the side of the Red Emperor of AUSTRIA ! As striking an analogy exists between the English revolution of 1688 and the Hungarian revolution of 1848 as between the relative position of England and Hanover and the relative position of Austria and Hun gary. King JAMES the SECOND forfeited his crown by his interference with the national Constitution. King FERDINAND the FIFTH (otherwise Emperor of Austria) forfeited his crown, not only by breaking the Constitution, hut also, in a more flagrant manner, by causing his Gcrnym legions to march against the rightful defenders of that Constitution, the Hungarian people themselves. JAMES endeavoured to enforce obedipaos to his perfidy by pitting against the frustrated, and, thank GOD, she still reigns—and we devoutly hope long will continue to reign—in the af fectionate, loyal hearts of her people, blessing and English people the Irish regiments marshalled under TTRCONNEL. FERDINAND strove also to enforce his tyrannous treachery by leaguing against the Hun- 1 garian people the Croat irregulars banded to g ether under JELLACHICH. In both cases the kingly treason failed ; but the Magyars were less precipitant than the British, in their ultimate decision. lieurax and his collegues not only de clared the Prince of the House of Stuart to have lost his diadem, but elected to the vacant throne WILLIAM the Stadtholder. KOSSUTH and his col leagues declared the crown to have been forfeited by the Prince of the House of Hapsburg, it is true, (though even that they did only after reiterated pro vocations, slowly and reluctantly), but they refrained from nominating any successor, confiding the destinies of the country for a while to the wisdom of a Dictator and a Provisional Government. None but a man demented by his adoration of Absolutism, and fanatical in his abhorrence of Democracy, will deny the truth of an assertion as perceptibly accurate as the first 1 axiom in arithmetic, namely, that if the treatment of JAMES the SECOND of England was just and laudable, the treatment of FERDINAND the Final of Hungary, was likewise just and laudable. Having seen, therefore, that Hungary has been for eight hundred years an independent country, and that FRANCIS JOSEPH is nothing more nor less than en atrocious usurper ; having shown that the Hungarian revolution of 1848 was no more a revolt than the English revolution of 1688 ; having proved that Hungary is no more a province of Austria than England is a province of Hanover, and that the Hun garians were as much entitled to repel the invasion of FRANCIS JOSEPH, or his predecessor FERDINAND, as the English would be to repel an invasion by ER TEST—we could easily enlist still f u rther the sympathies of our li beral-minded and generous hearted fellow -countrymen in the cause of the heroic but unhappy Hungarians. We could do this by de monstrating through the simple enumeration of facts patent to every student of continental history, that the Constitution of Hungary and the Constitution of England are little short of being absolutely identical. We have already alluded to the remark, that the Bulla Aurea is the Illag, - na Charta of the Mag yars. We might say, further, that, in regard to the freedom of the press, to trial by jury, to the exercise of the elective franchise, to the right of petitioning, to the right of assem bling, to the general administration of justice, and to the prerogative of local self-government, the Hun garians have possessed in many instances as great, and in some few instances yet greater advantages than ourselves. We shall rest contented, however, with referring the reader to an excellent pamphlet, very cleverly written,* in which these facts are plainly and succinctly detailed. It is to such a country as this that the docm of despotic government has been awarded by the savage hordes of the AU TOCRAT ! It is such a country as this that ARTHUR GEORGET has betrayed ! It is to such a country that KOSSUTH dedicated his genius and his patriotism ! It is in the cause of such a country that Kiss, and AULICH, and BAITHYANY have fallen ! The result of so much virtue deceived, and of so many atrocities triumphant, must be recognized at last in a bloody and appalling vengeance descending upon the monster HAYNAU and upon his detestable EMPEROR. `Ultra FRE ,NCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur announces the appointment of General D'HAUTPOOL to the command of the troops at present in the occupation of Rome, in the room of General ROSTOLAN, who has been recalled at his own request. In the National Assembly on Wednesday the dis cussion on the proposition of M. NAPOLEON BONA. PARTE for the release of the insurgents of June, 1848, was commenced, notwithstanding the desire expressed by the mover to postpone it to the following day. In the course of the discussion M. LAGRANGE read a long memorial from the insurgents confined in Belle- ' isle, complaining bitterly of; the manner in which they are treated by the authorities. The Minister of the Interior declared that the statements contained in the memorial were false and calumnious. M. LA GRANGE; retorted. The further discussion was, on the motion of the Minister of the Interior, adjourned blest. The loyal BEERS spares no insult, stops at no falsehood, in making the most preposterous charges against the . QuEEE's representative in Ireland—charges which every sane person in the empire will at once stamp as the coinage of an unsound head and a wicked heart. He accuses Lord CLARENDON " with sending the statutes which are to bind British subjects to the PorE of Rome for his revision, alteration, or annulling, as the case may be, and thus giving that priestly Potentate a share of the British throne." Can the force of false hood or folly go farther than this? Yet the blind followers of the Grand Master of the County Down Orangemen will believe these gross absurdities as Gospel truths. Mr. BEERS was anxious to exhibit before a British public. We have, we believe, pretty well discharged the nauseous task, and the people of England will be able to see what a vile compound of crime and folly, of falsehood and wickednes, the Orangeman of Ulster is. The miserable Orange press , in t he teeth of plain facts and reason, unscrupulously charge upon Lord CLARENDON the crime of countenancing the . Orange system and supplying the Orange assassins with weapons from the QUEEN'S armoury. We need scarcely say, this is about as true as that be gives the POPE a share of the British throne. His whole course of policy in Ireland is sufficient to brand this as a daring and unblushing falsehood. We need but refer to his instructions as to the distribution of arms in the year 1848, when the country was threatened with a rebellious outbreak, when it was deemed advisable to supply arms to those who were willing to use them in the defence of the QUEEN and the laws. In his instructions to the local authorities he says — "It is, however, of the greatest importance that the special constables should be selected from the inhabitants of the district generally without reference to religious opinions. The cause of order and the maintenance of tran quillity are equally dear to those who have anything to lose; and all good men, whatever their religious creed, have a just and natural motive for resisting revolution and maintaining the principles of loyalty against rebellion. The Lord-Lieutenant, therefore, desires to state that he considers it essential to the success of this organization that all sectarian differences should be scrupulously avoided, and that the special constables should be selected without reference to their religious opinions." Indeed a reference to these wise and prudent in structions would be quite unnecessary in, Iceland, for who is there in that country, from the Giant's Cause way to Cape Clear, that does not know that the murderous Orangeman was alisays armed—that his gun was treasured as a household god, and that he never wanted weapons when a Papist was to be shot, or a village to be wrecked and burned? Away then with these vile slanders against the,lrish Government —Lord CLARENDON can well afford to despise them. Let him pursue a high, impartial, and intrepid course —let him carry out the principles which he has enunciated, and which were so pointedly indicated by our Gracious QUEEN herself in her late visit to her faithful people of Ireland—let him not be deterred by the threats or slanders of a paltry and ruthless gang, who would respect no law that would put limits to their evil and malignant passions—let him energeti cally put the laws in full force and make them re spected. The blood of murdered innocence calls upon him for vengeance and atonement. He will have the co-operation of the good and wise, and future gene. rations will bless his memory as the true pacificator of Ireland. to the next day. At the meeting of the Assembly, yesterday, the debate was resumed , a nd, a fter a storm y discussion, the motion was rejected by a majority of 419 to 183. Dispatches have been received from St. Peters burgh, which it is said contain the important infor mation that the Emperor of RUSSIA is inclined to abandon his demand for the extradition of the refugees from Turkey. Six persons accused of having on the 14th June last taken part in a revolutionary movement at Stras burg, have been acquitted by the tribunal at Metz. Lord BROUGHAM, on his way to Cannes, is at pre sent paying a visit at the chateau of Tholouet, the seat of the Marquis of GALIrPET. Madame ACHILLE MURAT, widow of the eldest son of the King of NAPLES and of Princess CAROLINE, sister of NAPOLEON, has just arrived in Paris. M. MANILA, ex-President of the Republic of Venice, has arrived in Paris. The Madrid mail had not arrived in Paris when the pest left. PARIS BOURSE, THURSDAY, OCT. 25.

GbiItMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The EMPEROR reviewed on the 20th, at Vienna, the troops passing through the city, in their way from Comore to Bohemia. RADETSKY had paid his visits of leave preparatory to his return to Italy. Havrat will be absent for several weeks. JELLACHICII is suffering from cholera. The Lloyd says :—" On the petition of the Ser vianp, who, in their struggle for their country and the whole monarchy, have been deprived by the Magyars of all their property, the Patriarch has addressed a letter to the Imperial Ministry, in which he portrays the sad destitution of his people, and implores that the Government will minister to their relief ; and that, should their funds be inade quate, they will authorise the Patriarch to apply to other nations and kingdoms in behalf of the Servians." General ScHoNnaLs and Baron KUBECK have been definitively appointed representatives of Austria to the new Central Power. Again the sanguinary scenes of Dolly's Brae are forced upon our consideration. The blood-stained actors in that revolting tragedy have dared to threaten a renewal of their atrocities on the coming sth of November. The Orange press, the Orange magistrates, and their bigoted sympathisers, are in arms against the constituted authorities, and call for a demonstration condemnatory of the Government policy in the dismissal of Lord RODBN and his brother Orangemen from the commission of the Several fortuitous circumstances have unhappily tended to dissipate many of those sanguine hopes which were inspired by the accounts relating to Sir JOHN FRANKLIN'S expedition recently brought to this country by the Truelove. Reflection has con siderably shaken the public confidence in the veracity of the story told to the captain of that vessel by one of the more communicative Esquimaux. And, cer- PRUSSIA • The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 23d publishes a long statement of the sitting of the Council of the Administration. All the Plenipotentiaries, except those of Saxony and Mecklenburg-Strelitz, rejected the objections of law made by Hanover relative to the convocation of the Diet. The President then announced, that in the next sitting be would bring forward the projects of the Prussian Government relative to-1. Modification of the project of the Diet. 2. The fixing and immediate publication of the period for the election to the ap proaching Diet. 3. The place of meeting of the Diet. 4. The mode in which the Council of the Administration may negotiate with the Diet when it shall be assembled. peace. To calmly argue with the projectors and perpe trators of massacre, would be an useless waste o time ; to offer a word of argument or remonstrance to those who would countenance the cowardly slaughter of innocent childhood and feeble old age, would be worse than idle ; such monsters reason could not convince, nor kindnes a conciliate. But to that portion of the Irish public—and, thank Gon, they are still alarge majority, even in that ill-fated land —who believe murder a crime, and homicide unchris tian—who blaspheme not against religion by torturing the peaceful and love-teaching doctrine of CHRIST into the unholy Shibboleth of faction—to them we would say—For ages has your rich and lovely island been the victim of dissension ; the demon of discord has been stalking through your land, disorganizing the social elements, and scaring from your shores that wealth which would make your starving people peaceful and happy. Arise, then, in the might and majesty of patriotism ; strengthen the power of the laws, by aiding the Executive in crushing this fell and fiendish faction. Meet in your counties, in your cities, in your towns, and call with firm and em phatic voice upon the able and enlightened states man who represents the QUEEN and the laws in Ireland to persevere in the wise and firm policy he has hitherto pursued, and let these murderous fac tions be crushed at once and for ever. WILLIAM BEERS, the wretched man who organized the Orange procession to the scene of murder, has had the temerity to pour forth one of his furious tirades to the LORD CHANCELLOR of Ireland on acknow ledging his Lordship's supersedeas. He commences naturally enough by pouring vituperation on the able and impartial Commissioner who investigated the horrible massacre at Castlewellan. The only way in which Mr. BEERS could damage the fair fame of Mr. BERWICK would be by afflicting him with his appro bation. He says he did not hold the commission of the peace as " the partisan of this or any other Go vernment ;" we cau believe this truly, we can believe he did not hold his commission to aid any Govern ment in carrying out the laws ; we believe he held it rather as the partisan and instrument of a vile and wicked faction, and was allowed to hold it fifteen years too long. He says his commission was taken from him, " not because he bad dishonoured his magisterial functions, but because he had the honesty to avow himself the fearless supporter of the Orange institution, the glory and the bulwark of the land." Can the man who writes such gigantic falsehood and folly be of sound mind ? We would be almost disposed to think that the monstrous absurdity of this stilted nonsense would form sufficient grounds to sue out a writ of lunacy, and it would not greatly surprise us if the LORD CHANCELLOR gave a hint to the solicitor for lunatics on the subject. BEERS and his 400 ruffians the bulwarks of the land ! We, " the tailors of Tooley-street," is simple, bashful modesty to this. People of Britain, be no longer afraid of French invasion—you may. now burn your old wooden walls, for you have the gallant wreckers of Castlewellan who marched triumphantly to the battle field with an escort of police and Dragoons, and leaving their escort to meet the battle's brunt in the open plains, betook themselves to the more genial achieve ments of burning cabins and shooting old women and children—these are the bulwarks of Ireland " The LORD-LIEUTENANT," Mr. BEERS continues, "should not sympathise with assassins." No, we trust ho will not. We trust he will stretch forth the strong arm of the law and let it fall with atoning vengeance upon the assassins and their abettors. Can this man be alive to the common sympathies of humanity ? When he spoke of assassins did not the agonizing shriek of the poor] idiot ring in his ears—the crazed and sinless being afflicted with that fearful malady upon which all humanity looks with feelings of awe and pity—did no remorse seize him when he remembered how this creature, who stood unaccountable even before his GoD, had his skull battered in by his ruth less brothers ? Was this even considered no blot upon the triumph of the day ? Lord CLARENDON, be says, should not have stigmatised lcyal men ! How sickening is this vaunting of lip loyalty 1 We have soave faint notion of the quality of Orange loyalty. Might we hint to this loyal hero that the day is not long past since the true and loyal Orangemen would have ousted our Gracious QUEEN from the throne of these realms, and have placed the crown which now adorns her brow, and which she is so fit to grace and dignify, upon the head of their idol, the amiable ERNEST ? But their loyal intentions to their idol and brother CUMBERLAND were not successful, their machinations ainst our accomplished and amiable QUEEN were tainly, at the first blush it does appear strange tha the informant, speaking as an eye-witness, could produce not the smallest credential as to the truth of his narrative. A glance at the masterly chart of the Arctic Regions just issued from the establishment of Mr. WYLD, will neverthless show sufficiently well that from the supposed position of the missing expedi tion the navigators are by no means situated so perilously as many have been led to ima gino. Access to them is possible from two directions, either by Hudson's Straits or by Davis' Straits, either by proceeding from the latter through Baffins's Bay and Lancaster Sound, or from the former through Fox's Channel and the Gulf of Boothia. Of course these tracks are spoken of as possibilities, always under a contingency—the contingency that they are not rendered impenetrable by a barrier of frozen mountains. According to the calculation generally credited, the ships of Sir Jonr; FRANKLIN'S expedi tion are in that portion of Prince Regent's Inlet, lying immediately between Batty River and Point Bowen. What appears, however, to be the principal error, not only in the plan of affording succour to the distressed adventurers, but also in the entire scheme of all such exploring expeditions, is this—that all such enterprises are caused to run exactly counter to the currents in the Northern Seas. For whereas the currents flow from west to east—the struggles of our Arctic navigation are perversely directed from east to west. Hence all these delays, anxieties, and dangers. Hence this agonizing chance of a calamity. The blunder is altogether too glaring not to demand correction. The miscalculation is altogether too manifest not to require a speedy and permanent rectification. We shall await this with pro found solicitude. Meanwhile it is but due to humanity that no exertion should be spared to forward succour of any and every description to Sir Jour; FRANKLIN and his compa nions. Least of all should the daring and generous proposal which has recently emanated from Lieu tenant GALE, the enterprising aeronaut, be disre garded as impracticable and Quixotic. It should be remembered that that gentleman, by undertaking to carry out the plan he has himself voluntarily pro pounded, would be at once perilling his life and jeopardizing his reputation. That reflection alone is amply sufficient as a guarantee that his proposition is very far indeed from being wild or extravagant. Whatever may be the means adopted to carry assistance to the distressed mariners in the Arctic regions, it is earnestly to be hoped that some positive intelligence may be received, before many weeks have elapsed, assuring us of the safety of the expedition. * " Parallels be the Constitution, &C. o f En , land and Hungary."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS'. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady at previous rates. The sales were estimated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, including 1,000 American on speculation.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at rather higher prices. The Colonial markets have been firm this week, and the holders have refrained from pressing sales. Coffee and Sugar are dearer; Cotton has maintained its value; Rice has been somewhat cheaper, and the Indigo auc tions have been brought to a close under favourable cir -1 cumstances. There are arrivals from Australia and the Cape of Good Hope. The Sydney dates are to June 2. After a long period of drought refreshing showers had fallen. Trade was still inactive on the whole, but there were certain imported articles which realised good prices, bottled porter, iron, and currants, being in this category. Rum was lower than for years. Wheat was quoted 4s. to 4s. 6d. per bushel. From Van Diemen's Land our accounts are to June 6. The Lady Amherst had arrived out with immigrants, and married couples were obtaining engagements at 20, to 25/ per annum with board and rations. The anti. convict question was still the engrossing topic. The Capo aivices are to Aug. 21. On the frontier the new system worked admirably in preventing Kafir depredations, and Sir Harry Smith was highly popular. The state of affairs at Natal, if rightly described in the Graham's Town journals, is not satisfactory. The Lieutenant-Governor was not expected to live, an entire want of confidence is stated to prevail among the mercantile community, the treasury was empty, and all improvements were at a stand still. We shall have an opportunity, probably, of verifying or disproving these assertions by private sources, and especially from the verbal communications of a gentleman who has just arrived from the settlement, and intends to return. The report of the Amsterdam Stock Market, dated Wednesday, is favourable. A good business was done in Dutch Two-and• a-Half per Cents. at 53k. Spanish Bonds were rather better also.

It is said that the Bavarian Government will not assent to the treaty for the establishment of the nw Central Power. The Allgemeine Zeitung says, the report that the Netherlands Minister at the Court of Bavaria has been recalled is entirely without foundation, and originated in an error. RUSSIA. AUSTRIA, AND TURKEY. THE EXTRADITION QUESTION SETTLED. Letters from Vienna, of the 21st October, state that a Russian courier arrived in that city on the preceding day, and that shortly after wards the Eng lish and French Ambassadors were officially informed that the EMPEROII would not persist in demanding the ex tradition of his subjects now in Turkey, provided no menacing interference took place on the part of any European Power.l lONIAN ISLANDS. Letters from Corfu of the 10th say, " The rebel ringleaders are not yet taken , and the Lord High Commissioner, Sir GEORGE H. WARD, refuses to re lieve the islands from the ban of martial law. It was Sir PETER PETRIZZOPOULO who died suddenly on the 4th, after investing the Lord High Commissioner with the order of the Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George. Several arrests have taken place at Corfu. AUSTRIAN LOAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln a letter from your own correspondent at Vienna, dated Oct. 13, and published in the Times of Friday last, the 19th inst., I find the following passage : " The Times of the 9th inst. has this moment arrived, and the very first thing that strikes.my eye is the fol lowing passage in Lord Dudley Stuart's speech at the meeting held on the Bth at the London Tavern This Austrian loan was an im posture, for by the laws of Austria no loan could be contracted without the previous sanction of the Diet. That sanction was wanting; fur the loan was only signed by the Minister, without any legal au• tnority, &c. As it is not for a moment to be supposed that Lord Dudley Stuart would utter a deliberate false hood, I can but say that he, on the Bth inst., undertook publicly ' to discuss a subject of which he was not master. Facts are stubborn things;' and the Noble Lord will hardly be able to talk away the fact of the late Diet's having, in December last, at Kremsier, granted a loan of 80,000,000 conventional florins. I do not recollect exactly on what date, but I believe it was on the 28th. The Beichstags Blatt, however, contains the minutes of the proceedings connected with that grant. The foregoing simple statement is of course sufficient to show that the Noble Lord has taken up a totally false position; but even if the late Diet had not made the grant, I see no reason why a loan could not be contracted by a responsible Minister, for I believe that precedents are not wanting of a similar measure having been carried out in cases of emergency in other constitutional countries, without the previous consent of Parliament having been given." Facts, as your correspondent observes, are stubborn things ; but I believe that the facts of this case will be found fully to support the statement that I made. The Diet of Kremsier may, indeed, in December last, have voted a loan of 80,000,000 conventional florins. But between that time and the publica tion of the proposal of the new loan for 70,000,000 conventional florins, the whole of the first named sum, and much more, was raised ; as may be seen by the accounts of the Bank of Austria, officially pub lished. The vote of the Diet for 80,000,000 conven tional florins cannot legalise a loan for an additional 70,000,000 conventional florins. Moreover, the Go vernment of Vienna has forcibly dissolved the Diet of Kremsier, and denied the validity of its acts. How, then, can the authority of that Diet, which is denied for other purposes, be invoked for sanction this loan ? Your correspondent, howeve, while he endeavours to make out that the loan had the sanction of the Diet, seems to feel that this plea may fail him ; for he adds that he sees no reason why, without any such sanction, a loan should not b e contracted by a responsible Minister, and he talks of precedents for such a course to be found in constitutional countries in cases of emergency. I shall leave to others to debate with your corre spondent the propriety of such a course, merely re marking that I think if Sir C. Wood, or any other Chancellor of the Exchequer , wer e to adopt it, he would be likely to hear BO much boutat it, even in the columns of the Times, and at any at from the country at large, as would make him speedily desist from the attempt, and would drive him ignominiously from the office he had abused. On one point I confess myself to have been wrong. The error I fell into was in favour of Austria. I stated that the loan was signed by a Minister of State. The truth, however, is, that the official announce ment of the loan bears the signature of no Minister whatever, but only that of the Governor of Lower Austria. HAYMARKET THEATRE - Mr. Shirley Brookes has given us another laughter moving, witty, and in every sense of the word, original farce, under the title: of the Guardian Angel, which was produced at this theatre last evening with the most marked and deserved success. The Guar dian Angel, of whose protecting influences Mr. Shirley Brookes has made himself the chronicler, is a certain Moggy Snaggs (Mrs. Keeley), who to a devoted faith in fortune-telling by cards unites an ar dent love for a certain Mr. Dulcimer (Mr. Keeley), who at the commencement of their acquaintance was a humble clerk at eighteen shil lings a week. Dulcimer having had some property left him, becomes proud, apes the great, aspires to genteel society, and deserts Moggy. She, however, will not desert him ; she determines to be his guardian angel, and to watch over his morals ; and accord ingly, no sooner is Mr. Dulcimer installed in a lodging-house than we find Moggy there also, officiating as maid of all work to the esta blishment ; consulting her cards, which she always carries in her pocket, upon every emergency, and guarding Dulcimer's morals by intercepting every letter which is addressed to him in a female hand. There are other lodgers in the house; there is a Captain Myrtle and his wife (Mrs. Buck ingham), and with the latter a certain Mr. Delamere Lazytongs, who is also a lodger in the house, is endeavouring to carry on an intrigue, while Captain Myrtle is devoting himself to gain the good graces of Miss Kate Swynnerton (who found an admirable representative in Miss Emma Harding), the cousin of Mr. Delamere Lazytongs. Through the meddling protection of Moggy, Mr. Dulcimer becomes involved in these intrigues, and is suspected, and at last denounced by everybody, when Moggy comes for- ward and explains all, and Dulcimer marries his guardian angel. The whole weight of the piece fell on the Keeleys, who were both admirably fitted, and acted as though they liked their parts. The applause and laughter were uproarious and continuous, and at the conclusion Mr. and Mrs. Keeley were called be fore the curtain. We understand that the Government have serious intentions of taking into consideration the question of removing Smitbfield•market, and that a committee, composed of practical men, will be directed to report upon the practicability of such a course, after the fullest investigation into its several bearings. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN-E 1 [CHANGE-FRIDAY. A decided incre. Lae has taken place in the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market this week, coastwise as well as by land ca triage. The show of samples here to day, however, was not large, but full equal to the demand, as the attendance )f both town and country buyers was limited. Selected . parcels of both red and white were in moderate requ , ast, at about Monday's quotations. In the middling an& inferior kinds, very few transactions were reported, yet we have no actual fall to notice in value. From AI! , )ad, we have received 6,860 quarters of Wheat, chiefl• j from Dantzic. For most descriptions the demand was fn a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. In floatit ig cargoes no sales. Malting Burley hung on hand. 1 7his may be attributed to the low prices at which old Malt; is selling. Grinding qualities sup ported late prices, The supply of Malt was not large. All kinds were a dull inquiry at unaltered quotations. From Ireland 6,6; 30 quarters of Oats have come in this week. The suppl y from other parts is small. Selected samples were ate ady, at full prices. Damp qualities were neglected. Beans, Peas, Indian-corn, and Flour, as on Monday. . 4RRIVALS THIS WEEK.
