The Feuile du Commerce, published at Port-au- Prince, gives the following account of the proceedings at the nomination of President Soulouque to the title and dignity of Emperor of Hayti : " The Empire! Such is the event which occupies all minds. Last Sunday, August 26, at the moment that we were distributing our journal, the cannons reaound ing from every quarter saluted the nomination of the President Rada Soulouque to the title and dignity of Emperor. " Since the 231 of August there has been circulated in the capital an address to the Members of the Chamber of Representatives and the Senate, demanding, in the name of the people, the title and dignity of Emperor for the President of Hayti. This address was covered with signatures. In the afternoon of the 24th it was sent to the Chamber of Representatives, and the next day two declarations to the same purport, signed by the general officers, colonels, and subordinate cificers, who were at the capital, were also sent to the Legislative body by General Vil Lubin, commander of the place. On the same day the Chamber, after having examined the peti tion, brought in a Bill conferring the title and dignity of Emperor on the President of Hayti. The day after, the 26th, in the morning, the Senate adopted it. " Immediately thereafter that body went to the Pa lace, where the representatives and civil and military functionaries were already assembled. The Emperor and Empress did not delay in making their appearance. The President of the Senate then paced the Imperial Crown on the head of the Chief of the State, and placed a cross of gold at his button-hole. Next he placed around the neck of the Empress a chain of great value, after which the shouts of " Vise r Empereur !" re-echoed in the hall. Mr. Larochel delivered an address to the Em peror to which ho briefly replied. " The public functionaries then accompanied their Majesties to the parish church, where a Te Deem R as immediately chanted. For several evenings subsequent the city was illuminated." The decree of the Legislative body was worded as follows : " Considering the wish manifested by a majority of citizens and officers of every rank. and addressed to the Chamber of Representatives and Senate to receive the sanction of the legislative body; " The Chamber of Representatives and Senate, uniting in the wish of the people and the army. " Decree as follows : " Art. 1. The title and dignity of Emperor are con•. fcrred on the President of Hayti, lfaustin Soulouque, as a mark of gratitude for the eminent services which that illustrious chief has rendered to the country. " 2. The present laws and institutions will remain in force until the Li gislative body shall be called on to re vise them in order to render them conformable to the new state of things. " Given at the Chamber of Representatives, August 26th, 1849, the 46th year of independence." (Signed by the President, Secretarics, and twenty-nine Members.) The Senate adopted the Bill the next day,rand its vote is similarly signed by all its officers. The Em peror accepted his elevation in the following lan guage : " The President of Hayti declares that he submits to the wish of the nation, which, by the agency of the Chamber and the Senate, confers on him the title of Em peror. In consequence, he orders that the above law of the Legislative body be promulgated and executed throughout the territory of the Empire. " Given at the Imperial Palace at Port-au-Prince, August 26th, 1849, the 46th year of independence, and the first of our reign. SOULOUQUE. " By the Emperor." (Signed by the Secretary-General and other officials.) The Senate, on adopting the decree, prepared an address, stating that the act was done in obedience to the wish of the nation, and telling Soulouque that his profound love for the public weal and high sense of duty had entitled him to the dignity, his elevation to which would assure the future prosperity of the nation. The proclamation of the new monarch to his subjects is as follows : " LIBERTY, X O , 17,793.] LONDON, THURSDAY suc , - 7 OCTOBER 4, 1849. ATLAS ASSURANCE COMPANY, 92, CIIEAPSIDE, LONDON.

(From the Bristol Gastte.) The memorials from the inhabitants of the parish of Clifton to the Poor-law Commissioners and the Board of Health, the former praying that the name of the Clifton Union, may be changed, and the latter that the districts in which cases of cholera occur may be specified in the returns, have been numerously signed. On Tuesday W. H. Gore Langton, Esq., proceeded with them to London, where he expected to be joined by our city Members in presenting these documents to the authorities to whom they are ad dressed. The memorial to the Poor law Commis sioners we published last week. The following is the one addressed to the Board of Health : " TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH, " The Memorial of certain inhabitants of the parish of Clifton, in the Borough of the City of Bristol, asso ciated together under the name of Clifton Improve ment Association.' " Slieweth,—That in the publication of the returns from time to rime of deaths from cholera and diarrhm', reported to your Honourable Board, a very large number is made to appear as having occurred in Clifton, to the serious detriment of its inhabitants. "That a public meeting of the inhabitants of the parish of Clifton was held on the 20th of September, inst., the Mayor of Bristol presiding, for the purpose of adopt ing measures to correct the erroneous statements thus circulated with regard to the Sanitary condition of Clif ton, at which meeting a resolution was unanimously adopted, to present a memorial to the Poor-law Board, respectfully requesting that the name of the Clifton Union might be changed, whereby the reports oF the sanitary state of the whole district might no longer unjustly appear under the head of Clifton only. "That under the provisions of tho Poor-law, the fol lowing twelve parishes, namely, Clifton, Westbury-upon- Trym, Heubury, Compton Greenfield, Winterbourne, Horfield, Stoke Gifford, Stapleton, Saint George, Saint Philip and Jacob (out) and Saint James and Saint Paul's (out), containing together according to the census of 1841, a population of 64,231 persons, and an area of 27,189 acres have been united under the name of ' The Clifton Union.' " That the above-mentioned parishes of Stapleton, Saint Philip and Jacob, as I) Saint:na Ipopulation 1 s t o a rl m e ro e a s t Saint George, awl Saint Paul, containing in 16 , 11 , parishes, appear f from 35,740, are those in which all the deaths returns e o these of pa t r h i e she r s eg i i s s t d r i a s r t s an o t f n t e h a c r s i and diarrhoea for the most part have occurred, as may each the four miles from Clifton,, t- 1 .RAin I - -..-. ... .- .--..lR.t*Teui Ithourable Board, except on two occasions, all the deaths from the above-mentioned causes that have occurred in any of the parishes forming the Clifton Union, are stated to have occurred in ' Clifton,' without the addition of the word ' Union' or any other description to designate that such deaths have occurred elsewhere, than in the parish of Clifton itself. " That the number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea which have been reported to the registrar of Clifton, as having occurred within his district, from the 9th of July last to the present time have been twelve only, and of these twelve cases it is known that only eight were actually cholera. With one exception, and that on the 6th of August, all these cases occurred in the Poor District of the Hotwells, and not in Upper Clifton. " That the number of deaths in Clifton which have actually occurred in the quarter just ended, including the above-mentioned twelve cases reported as cholera, is considerably below the average—from this it is evi dent that the health of the inhabitants of the parish has been during the summer and is still exceedingly good. " That Clifton, in consequence of the beauty of its scenery and peculiar lccal advantages, is a place of great public resort, and is highly recommended to in valids by Sir James Clark, and other medical practi tioners of celebrity, on account of the salubrity of its climate. " That the returns of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea which have lately been published by your Honourable Board, as having occurred at Clifton, have not only de terred many families and persons from resorting to the place, but have so much alarmed many persons as to cause them to flee from it, to the very serious injury of the tradesmen, lodging-house keepers, and persons pos sessing property in the parish, and that, as appears by the facts above-mentioned, without any just reason, in asmuch as instead of being a place to be shunned, it should be, in consequence of its comparative immunity from the prevailing epidemic, one of attraction. " That a memorial to the above-mentioned effect, re spectably signed, has been presented to the Poor-law Board, in pursuance of the resolution of the public meet ing already referred to. " That at the same meeting it was also unanimously resolved, that the Committee of the Clifton Improve ment Association, be instructed to memorialize your Honourable Board, to publish the returns in such a form as shall indicate the parish in which the cases of cholera may occur. " Your memorialists therefore humbly pray that your Honourable Board will bo pleased, in making your returns of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea, which may in future occur in any of the parishes forming the Clifton Union, to distinguish the parish of Clifton from the Union which goes by its name, thus, ' Clifton, none,' or otherwise as the case may be, and ' Clifton Union' so many, whereby this parish may no longer be erroneously and unjustly stigmatized, nor its inhabitants and the owners of property therein serionsly injured, as they have hitherto been. " Your memorialists are encouraged to hope your Honourable Board will comply with their request, by the fact of your having adopted a similar distinction with regard to other districts, and twice a partial hough incomplete one with respect to the Clifton Uni)n, "(Signed) Wie. HENRY GORE LANGTON, " Chairman of the Committee of the Clifton Improvement Association. "Clifton, 29th September, 1849." SCOTCh RECONCILIATION. —A Scotchman, who was supposed to be at the point of death, sent for a neighbour with whom he was in feud, in order that he might depart in peace with all mankind.

MURDER. AT RESTON.—The eastern district of Bsrwiekshire has this week been startled by a most atrocious and deliberate murder. On Monday morning the body of a man, named Walter Linn, was discovered in a field in the neighbourhood of Reston, a village be tween eleven and twelve miles from Berwick, and situ ated on the line of the North British Railway. From a wound upon his head it was discovered that he had met his death by violent means. A sum of money which he was supposed to have on his person seems to have led to the commission of the deed, and immediately on the discovery of the body general suspicion was directed to a man named ISl‘Quee, who was accordingly appre hended and lodged in Dunse Gaol. Tho particulars of the case aro as follows:—Walter Linn, the man who has been murdered, is an Irishman, about 26 or 28 years of age, and came to reside in Reston four years having obtained employment on the railway line which was then in course of construction. He formed an intimate acquaintance with William M'Quee, also an Irishman, to whose sister ho was said to be p a y in g his addresses. They were seen together at Chirnside, and they were also seen in company returning towards Res ton, by two persons at different places. M'Quee returned home about eight o'clock. Nothing was seen of Linn till next morning, when Messrs. Sinclair, butchers, at Ay ton, went to a field near Reston-hill, the property of Mr. Bishop, to exarniao some sheep grazing there. They reached this field at a quarter before eleven, and in a ditch they discovered the body of the unfortunate victim. As we have already mentioned, suspicion immediately fell on William M'Quee. The police on the railway line found, on inquiry, that he had that morning gone by the train to Dunse. He returned home on foot, and on entering Reston, about one o'clock, was taken into custody.—Berwick Advertiser THE WRONGS OF HUNGARY. The following document has been issued by the London Hungarian Committee :- 1. Hungary is an ancient constitutional monarchy which used to elect its Kings. Every new King was solemnly crowned with the crown of St. Stephen, after taking the coronation oath on Hungarian soil, in which be swore to uphold the Constitution. In the year 1687 the royalty was made hereditary in the family of Hapsburg; but, so far was Hungary from becoming a province of Austria, to this year not a single Austrian has been allowed to hold office in the Hungarian kingdom. An Austrian is a foreigner in Hungarian law and practice. 2. The Kings of the House of Hapsburg have, notwithstanding, made various attempts to overthrow the liberties of Hungary. After repeated attempts to fuse Hungary into Austria, and repeated insur rections, a long struggle begun by Leopold I. was ended in 1711 by Joseph 1., who was constrained to confirm the old constitution. Again, by the efforts of Joseph 11. to enforce the German language, and suppress the municipalities, a revolt was kindled, which his successor Leopold 11. finally pacified (in 1790) only by withdrawing all his brother's innova tions, and by making a peculiarly distinct avowal, that (Art. 10) " Hungary with her appaaages is a free kingdom, and in regard to her whol3 legal form of Government (including all the tribunals) inde pendent; that is, entangled with no other kingdom or people; but having her own_ peculiar consistence and constitution, accordingly to be governed by her legitimately crowned king after her peculiar laws and customs." Nevertheless Francis I. dared to violate his coronation oath by not assembling the Diet from 1811 to 1825. At last he was compelled to give way by the passive resistance to all government. From that year on ward the Hungarians have struggled successfully for internal reforms by constitutional methods, though perpetually thwarted by the bigotry, ignorance, and perverse ambition of the Austrian Cabinet or Crown. _ _ . 3. The internal reforms which they desired were chiefly the following - :—To remove or lessen the dis tinction between the privileged and uprivileged classes ; and improve the principles of taxation and the tenure of land. Next, to extend perfect tolera tion of religious creed to all. The high Magyar no bility are generally Roman Catholics; yet they have been as willing to concede toleration as the lower nobility and middle classes, who are generally Pro testants. Thirdly, to establish free trade with all nations. For the Austrian Cabinet choose to confine this great country to Austria for its market, while treating Hungarian produce as foreign. Fourthly, to maintain a free press, and the right especially of publishing the debates and proceedings of the Diet. Fifthly, in general to develope the great resources of Hungary by all sorts of material improvement in agriculture, in roads, in bridges. To this of late has been r dded a struggle for general education. 4. One mode of resistance applied by Austria, was to extinguish Parliamentary Bills by the veto of the Crown ; the fear of which paralyzed the Upper House—a body always naturally disposed to lean to Austria. Against this the Hungarians had no ade quate constitutional weapon to use, since the Austrian Cabinet was not responsible to the Hungarian Diet. The often repeated legal declaration of their indepen dence, and in particular the distinct compact of Leo pold 11., in 1790-91, justified them in desiring, by peaceful and constitutional means, to attain an inde pendent Ministry directly responsible to their own Parliament. 5. Such a Ministry had long been talked of and claimed in the Diet. In fact the Conservative party and the opposition had differed little as to the objects at o which they aimed, but chiefly as to the vehemence with which they should press them; the Conservatives pleading to " give time" to the Austrian Cabinet. But in March, 1848, the Conservative, as a separate vote,t i h nfr o a totphmpe thetsfhi forei g n e in constitution r o eeit g . enr alli possessionsos su o t hf imachinations iou carried fngtha a eor Crown, couldy rh o u e wn Austrianni m s o unanimous never s party, vanished, by the great mass of them acceding to the h i e s a l l i l fl e .e d e e t, until constit u ti on al government was estab to restore the legal status of the period at which the Diet freely conferred the royalty on the House of Hapsburg, Ibie eeetaaea—a--e:2 aea ix National Guard were enacted. The Hungarian Diet immediately claimed for itself also a responsible Ministry. This was granted without delay, and Count Louis Batthyany was made premier. But on the very same day, March 15, Jellachich was ap pointed Ban of Croatia. In a letter to Vienna, dated March 24, 1848, the Archduke Stephen, viceroy of llungary, is found to have suggested three modes of destroying the Hungarian Constitution ; either to excite the peasants against the nobles, as in Gallicia, and stand by while the parties slaughter each other ; or, to tamper with Battbyany's honesty ; or to invade and overpower Hungary by military force. A tran script of this letter in the Archduke's handwriting, was afterwards found among his papers when he fled from Pesth, and was officially published with all the necessary verifications. The Austrians have not dared to disown it. Before March ended, a deputation of all the leading members of both houses from Hungary appeared in Vienna, carrying to the King their unanimons claim that he would consent to various bills. In these, the greatest constitutional change was the restoration of the old union between the Diets of Hungary and of Transylvania. But socially the most important laws were the equalising of all classes and creeds, and the noble enactment which converted the peasant into freeholders of the soil, quit of all the old feudal burdens. This Bill had passed both the Houses by Feb. 4, 1848, before the French revolution had broken out ; so little had that great event to do with the re forming efforts of the Hungarians. The Austrian Cabinet, seeing their overwhelming unanimity, felt that resistance was impossible. Accordingly Fer dinand proceeded with the Court to Presburg, and ratified the laws by oath. This is the reform of April 11, 1848, which all patriotic Hung arians fondly looked upon as their charter of constitutional rightg, opening to them the promise of a career in which they should emulate Great Britain , a s a pattern o united, legal, tolerant, free, and loyal country. 6. Croatia is a province of the Hungarian crown ; and there Jellachich, as Governor, openly organised revolt against Hungary, by milita r y terroism, and by promising Slavonic supremacy. On Batthyany's urgency, King Ferdinand declared Jellachich a rebel, and exhorted the Diet to raise a n army against him but always avoided finally to sanction their bills. Meanwhile Itadetzky defeated Charles Albert. Jellachich dropped the mask of Chroatianism, and an nounced to Batthyany that there should be no peace, until a Ministry at Vienna ruled over Hungary. In September, as the King would neither allow troops to be raised in Hungary, nor the Hungarian regiments to be recalled from Italy for home defence, a Hungarian deputation was sent to the Austrian Diet; but it was denied admittance by aid of the Slavonic party. To catch stray . votes (it seems), Latour, Austrian Minister at War, in the Diet, Sept. 2, solemnly disavowed any connexion with Jellachich's movement; yet on Sept. 4 a royal odinance (officially published in Croatia only), rein stated Jellachich in all his dignities, who soon after wards crossed the Drave to invade Hungary, with a well-appointed army 66,000 strong. As he openly showed the King's commission, Batthyany resigned, Sept. 9, since he did not know how to act by the King's command against the King's com nd ma. No succe ssor was appointed; and the Hungarian Diet had no choice but to form a committee of safety. To embarrass them in this, the King re-opened negotia tion with Batthyany Sept. 14, but still eluded any practical result by refusing to put down Jellachich. Meanwhile, Dec. 16 dispatches were intercepted, in which Jellachich thanked Latour for supplies of mo ney and material of war. The Hungarian Diet published them officially, and distributed them by thousands. But Hungary was still unarmed, and Jellachich was burning, plundering, slaughtering. Sept. 25 Lemberg was sent to Pesth, in the illegal character of Imperial Commissary of Hungary, but was immediately murdered by the rage of the populace. Masses of volunteers were assembled by the eloquence of Kossuth, which, with the aid of only 3,000 regular troops, met and repulsed Jellachich at Sukoro, Sept. 29, and chased him out of their country. But Latour was far too deep in guilt to recede. A royal rescript of October 8 dissolved the Hungarian Diet, forbade all municipal action, superseded the judicial tribunals, declared Hungary under martial law, and appointed Jellachich civil and military governor of that country, with discretionary power of life and death, and an expressly unlimited despotism. It likewise distinctly announced the determination of the Crown to incor porate Hungary into Austria. Troops from Vienna were publicly ordered by Latour (Oct. 6) to march against the llungarians. This order, cou pled with alarm inspired by the approach of Jellachich (whose defeat was kept secret), led to the emeute in Vienna, in which Latour was murdered, a murder which was made a pretext for bombarding Vienna, and destroy ing the newly sanctioned constitution. Windisch grata, the agent in this work, joined his forces to those of Auersperg, who mea n w hile bad shelt Jellachich. At deposing all this isinthe the H generalsungaria were so in yi f e u r roiatrAte ke edh v a e l after , traitorously to have allowed Jellachich to escape), with inferior artillery, and with forces not half of the Austrians, who were 75,000 strong besides their re serves, they fought and lost the battle of Schwechat, October 30. This was the first and last battle fought by the Hungarians on Austrian soil, fought only against those who were protecting a ruthless enemy, who had desolated Hungary by countless outrage s : yet this is trumpeted by the Austrians as Hungarian aggression. Jellachich (November 2) entered Vienna in triumph, and was entrusted with a great army in the course of the whole war that followed. It is then impossible to doubt that the Austrians had supplied him with arms, money and authority from the beginning, and that they began this bloody war by combined violence and treachery, while Hungary was in profound peace. 7. The Cabinet now tried to obtain from Ferdinand a direct permission to carry into detail the rescript of October 3, and seize Hungary by right bf conquest. But as Ferdinand began to be troubled with religious scruples, they resolved to depose him, and put his nephew on the throne—a youth of eighteen, edu cated by the Jesuits, and accustomed to obey his mo ther the Archduchess Sophia, who was so identified by the Viennese with the Cabinet as to be called the Lady Camarilla. By intrigue of some sort they induced the half witted Emperor to sign the Act for his own abdication, and at once seated Francis Joseph in his place, who, not having taken_ the coronation oath, might be as sured by his shas he ....urea no wron g in invading the laws and constitution of Hungary. An Austrian army marched into the country, and in the course of January and February overran and occu pied it as far as the Theiss eastward and as high as the Marosch northward ; the Russians meanwhile pe netrated into Transylvania. Thu usurpation of the Archduchess and ,Cabinet seemed to have triumphed. 8. On March 4th, 1849, Count Stadion published his new constitution for fusing down Hungary into a part of the Austrian empire. If previously Hun gary had been under Russian despotism, this consti tution would have seemed highly liberal ; and from an Austrian point of view, such it was ; but to the Hungarians it was an intolerable slavery. First, it virtually annihilated their municipalities, and subjected their police to Vienna. Next, it would have called the Austrian Cabinet to put in Austrian civil and military officers everywhere in Hungary—an innovation as odious to the Hungarians, as would 'French police magistrates, excisemen, overseers, colonels and lord-lieutenants, be to the English nation. Thirdly, it swamped their parliament among a host of foreigners, ignorant of Hungary and its wants, and incapable of legislating well for it. Fourthly, it was enacted without the pretence of law, by the mere stroke of Count Sta dion's pen. If the Hungarian constitution, fourteen times solemnly sworn to by kings of the House of Hapsburg, was to be thus violated, what possible security could the nation have for this new-fangled constitution of Stadion, if it were ever so good in itself ? If they admitted such a right in the Austrian crown, in six months a new ordinance might reduce them under a pure despotism. In the face of wrong so intense, it is not worth while to name secondary grivances ; but it was most bitterly felt that such was the reward of the constant loyalty of Hungary to the House of Hapsburg, and such the sequel of that so lemn act by which Ferdinand had so happily ratified their recent glorious reforms On reviewing the constitutional question, it was clear to the Hungarians, first, that Ferdinand had no legal power to abdicate without leave of the Diet, which leave it was impossible to grant, since, in the course of nature, Ferdinand might yet have direct heirs ; secondly, that if he became incapacitated, it was the right of the Diet to appoint a regent ; thirdly, that if Ferdinand had died, Francis Joseph was not the heir of the Hungarian crown, but his father, Ferdinand's brother; fourthly, that allegiance is not fully due to the true heir, until he has been crowned ; fifthly, that if Francis Joseph had been ever so much the true heir, and had been ever so lawfully crowned, the ordinances would be a breach of his oath, essen- tially null and void, and equivalent to a renunciation of his compact with the peoige_:_sixthie hbith ova. , _ko 3overelgn to grasp a despotism for itself ; while over Hungary it had no more ostensible right than had that of Prussia or France. All Hungary therefore rose to resist, Slovachs and Magyars, Germans and Wallachs, ;Catholics and Protestants, Greeks and Jews, nobles, traders, and peasants, rich and poor, Progressionists and Conservatives. Ferdinand was still regarded as their legitimate, but unlawfully de posed King. 9. Between the Theiss and the Marosch, Kossuth had organised the means of fabricating arms and money ; and in the course of March and April a series of tremendous battles took place, in which the Austrians were some fifteen times defeated, and with out a single change of fortune their armies, 130,000 strong, were swept out of Hungary with immense slaughter. Only certain fortresses remained in their power, and those were sure to fall by mere lapse of time. The Austrian Cabinet was desperate at losing a game in which it had risked so much. Its more 1 , scrupulous members had retired, including Stadion himself. Bloodier generals were brought forward, and the intervention of Russia (long promised, and ran ted as early as February in Trans y lvania) was publicly avowed. This act finally alienated from Austria every patriotic Hungarian. 10. Upon the entrance of the Russians with the consent of Francis Joseph, the Hungarian Parlia ment, on the 14th of April, after reciting the acts of perfidy and atrocity by which the House of Haps burg had destroyed its compacts with the nation, solemnly pronounced that house to have for ever forfeited the crown. During the existing crisis Kos suth, according to constitutional precedent, was made Governor of the country. 11. We all know how Hungary—deprived of her ports, taken by surprise, isolated, and abandoned — has been overwhelmed by the combined hosts of her unscrupulous foes. But has England nothing to say to this ? For three centuries at least Hungary has been a prominent member of the European family of nations. Her constitutional union to the House of Hapsburg has been a notorious public fact ; and in the Emperor of Austria, as King of Hungary, Europe has long seen a powerful barrier against Russian encroach ment. That Hungary is not Austria—that the Em peror of Austria has no right in Hungary except as it s constitutional king — is as publi c a fact in Europe as that Hanover was never part of England. When Hungary proclaimed to us that the Emperor of Aus tria was no longer her king—that she had found the House of Hapsburg traitorous, and had legally deposed it; and when the Hungarian nation had by a unani mous effort actually expelled her invaders, there was the very same reason for eur acknowledging the indepen dence of Hungary, as we ever had for recognising the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary at all. We have grievously neglected our duty by supine ness ; but the Emperor of Russia has perpetrated a breach of international law, most cruel and dreadful ; only less wicked than the outrage of Austria, because it was not also treacherous and ungrateful. Indig nation and pity for the Hungarians is for a moment swallowed up by admiration, when we contrast their humane generosity towards prisoners of war with the ferocious cruelty of the Austrians towards the armed and unarmed of both sexes. 11. The English Crown is peculiarly affected by these events;. because they destroy the confidence of nations in the oaths of princes; especially considering that Hungary was the only great community on the continent, whose ancient liberties had not been vio lently and treacherously annihilated by its King. No guarantees of right any longer exist, except those which have been wrested out by popular violence, and established on some doctrinaire basis. The aristoc racy of England are deeply concerned, when the only remaining continental aristocracy possessed of consti tutional rights and taking the lead of a willing na tion, is remorselessly trampled under foot. Our com monalty is concerned, when deprived of commercial intercourse with fourteen millions of agriculturists. Our religious feelings are shocked, when Hun garian seal for universal toleration, is overridden by the Romanist bigotry of Austria. Our liberties are endangered by the spectacle of two sovereigns tearing in pieces a noble nation from pure hatred of its constitutionalism which nine centuries have not made sacred in their eyes. The security of all Europe is endangered by the virtual vassalage of Austria to Russia, which this calamitous outra for Austria is now so abhorred in Hunggstshiai! she for cannot keep her conquest except be Ling; the Go- Every one foresaw this from the g! il as that of St. vernment of Vienna knew it, ausltwseof the conspiracy Petersburgh.

Acs, IN FRONT OF COMORN, SEPT. 21.—The weather has cleared up beautifully, and I can now give you some idea of the position and environs of this most formidable fortress. First of all, cast your eye on the map of Hungary, and observe how the greater Danube from Presburg to Comorn runs in an easterly direction, with a slight inclination to the south, while the smaller arm of the Danube below Presburg, diverging to the left, forms the island of Schutt. At right angles with the Danube the Wang comes from the Carpathians, that is to say, from the north to the south, but before its junction with the Great Danube it falls into the Little Danube, to the north of the island of Schutt, and both conjointly flow into the Great Danube, under the walls of Cotnorn. The fortress which the united Austrian and Russian forces are now block ading is situated on the eastern tip of the island of Schutt, on ground which is in the form of the head of a fish when drawn on paper, or an acute r a l n!l:, b :ne . s o i t t er of by 'ab t i h e e b uisritfeodrini.vtabgy and de Little Danube ; while the base of the triangle is a very strong line of fortifications carried right across from one river to the other. The only side, therefore, on which Comorn can be entered by storm is from the island of Schutt, for at the other sides are the rivers. At the very tip, or apex, of the triangle is the citadel ; further west, where the Wand of Schutt is broader, is the town ; while between the town and the so o ef u c t tu e hr r ei t f yl o ,. r z t o i fioTc Two e o n n b s d a h g r i mt es th e he a e d ng o c v r ro s o no n en t w p which c a ita p d o e r l ti o o n n possess graze in the north across the Waag with the tete-de-pont on the left bank of that river, and on the south with another tete-de-pont on the right bank of the Danube. These totes-de pont are not mere fieldworks, but are of masonry, with a central fort in each, and sur rounded by bastions. To open trenches from the island of Schutt is difficult, on account of the marshy ground in front of the so-called Palatinal fortifications; and even the possession of the totes de pont still leaves the breadth of the Danube and the Waag between the besiegers and the defenders. Even these out works would be very difficult to take, for outside the one, over the Great Danube, is a fortified camp on two hills, one called the Sandberg, the other the Schwarzberg, which the Imperialists at tempted to take from Georgey in July, not only without success, but with the loss of so many men that in some places the dead had scarcely room to fall without being on the top of each other. This was commonly called the battle of Acs, the bloodiest in the whole war, in consequence of the very strong position that Georgey held, with Comorn at his back to retreat to in case of a reverse. As I stated in my last, 5,000 Hungarians at this moment occupy the intrenched camp that crowns these heights. Two islands, one in the Great Danube, and another in the Waage are also occupied by the Hungarians, which places at their disposition a considerable amount of meadow land for the pasture of their oxen, in addition to the "Meadow of the Gypsies," as it is called, within the fortifications on the island of Schutt. lrou o w f il i , a t n h t e u r a e fo is re e , g e u a a si l ly to u i n t e c r o s m ta o n r d i ll a a s t a Co e m en o t r r n e is Austrianb ey ond monarchy, a ll defensive fortress of the ca pacity ve within Now, operations, ai nn Comorn to io m l rl n u b c rt h ehae i k n i n o o r vu e ets formidable agmniyd circle adbilree direction and t house ttb o t a hho l f e e t e although invest.t offensive ouencirngsnhc considerable, choose, w a anaa i sd s tn t s difficu ltfhoroomcaswriting ethine these hAe t sus t gt a ru k os take, , g ; t l le i st s te dsooenpet the Klapkaoutotherletter,before were to hanpen now t` come, to t nounng incon venience which the stoppage of the navigation of the Danube occasions, for it is the great artery of this country. In spite of all this the position of the besieged is a desperate one. Like Mantua, Comorn is one of the most unhealthy towns in Hungary, and those very swamps that render it so difficult of access to a besieging force are terrible allies by the slower process of disease. By authentic accounts the sick in the hospitals of Comorn amount to 5,000 souls, and in spite of their large present supply of bread and butchers' meat the consumption of 40,000 mouths a day is making rapid inroads on it, and the certainty of nothing turning up to enable them to hold on has demoralized them. But Comorn having become the last receptacle of.the desperate Ultras, Klapka, who is disposed to surrender immediately, has been repeatedly threatened. The armistice has been prolonged till 12 o'clock this day, and at this m'ment, while the clock of the village of Acs is striking 11, the negotiators are with General Nugent in discussion, so that I hope by post hour to let you know the result, for if the surrender is to take place, the good news will not fail to prove acceptable to everybody, and I am sure to none more so than General Nugent himself, who is too old and too brave a soldier not to deplore every life that may be uselessly lost in a civil war. ThEte can be no doubt that if they surrender uncondition ally, no executions for high treason will take place ; at the same time I think it highly unreasonable that they should make (as they are doing) the compensa tion for the bank-notes they have been printing at such a rate one of the conditions of surrender, as well ' as payment in good Austrian bank-notes or specie for the paper they have expended for the new works laid out in enabling them to keep the King of Hungary out of the fortress, which was built .by Austrian money, and furnished with those immense Imperial stores at the expense of the Austrian war chest which enabled the scot free Magyar nobles to give the uni ted monarchy such a tremendous shake. I do not blame them for asking the best terms they can get, hut it puts one a little in mind of the Albanian, who takes the run of a Bulgarian larder, and then with a cocked pistol demands a recompense for the wear and tear of his teeth. These negotiators, whom I saw after the bandages were taken off their eyes, are certainly noble, warlike looking fellows, dressed in dark blue surtouts, with crimson silk thick cords braided on their breasts, hussar fashion, and fur calpaks. Their names are unknown to fame, the principal one of them being a colonel. Klapka, who commands in Comorn, is not a Magyar, but a Bohemian, and was an Imperialist Lieutenant in the Archduke Stephen's regiment of cavalry. Last night being moonlight, I took a turn through the camp, all the country around, as seen from any rising ground, being a great semicircle of fires, stretching round Uj Szony, opposite Comorn from the Danube round to the Danube again; so that it puts one in mind of the blast furnaces in the environs of Birmingham ; and this morning Comorn itself looks bright and beautiful from the outside, its white spires seen in the broad sunshine against the clear blue sky. All nature smiles, and it is difficult to associate its walls with such an amount of suffering as now exists within and without their precincts. Wherever we ride or drive we are struck with the fat black garden loam, which could bear crop after crop of wheat without manure and little cultivation, and cannot help wishing the dawn of a more favourable pacific period for this noble land. The village of Acs itself, so renowned in the military history of Hungary, straggles on a slight eminence, one side of it being the fatal bog into which the Magyar sortie of August drove the Imperialists, and the other a small park attached to a hunting lodge of Prince Lichten stein,the-servantsnobleman has neverat p h r e e a s r e d n , t the man y writertenants ot hs o eu f srep s! b hg; esta here, and learned that the Prince had at' and that the blishment here for his race-horse s ' up the language had I' The helping 1 3°Ya The houses of the village to hear a great deal of English spor from the English gr : t c) i x. d and are mostly thatched are all whitewashed street is a constant movement of Up and down the of mud almost knee-deep glisten in troops, and squadron of cuirassiers slaps through them, the an as a k s o e r ry a waggons.

Tux HIBERNIA.—This powerful ship, which struck upon a rock, and had to be sent back from British Ame rica for repairs here, went into the Sectional Dry Dock, n ear Pike•slip, on Monday,' under the care of Messrs. M'Pherson and Gray, shipwrights and caulkers, who have about fifty men at work on her stem and keel, which have received so much damage that it will pro bably to the end of the week before she gets afloat again. Had not the Hibernia been a very strong-built vessel she would have been wrecked; no ordinary ship could ever have got off that rock again. The copper is stripped off in part, and all the heel of the stem and the forward part of they eel, and deadwood and heels of cants are carried away; ll eight feet up the stem, and about thirty feet aft, of the keel, is destroyed. The rock, on which she remained half an hour, she must have struck upon with terrible force. To prevent the water from filling the ship, they promptly built a box and caulked it carefully forward near the leak, and thus prevented the waters from gaining on them all through the ship. They then put back for Halifax, and in a I very few days this tight steamer will be just as sea -1 worthy as if there were not a rock on the whole coast of America.—New York Herald of 19th Sept. MR. TIDD PRATT AND THE BALLOT.—It iS not so generally known as it should be t hat from 1,000 to 1,200 societies arc at the present moment in active ope ration for the purpose of enabling members of them (who comprise about half a million of the purely industrio to classes) to convert the rent which the y pdy for their us laments into capital for their purchase, w hich is effected by the immediate payment of about ten years' rent. _ the funds of these Building Investment and Fre sn eh r . p la .

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—We have had a week of most splendid weather for the completion of the harvest. The crops, which everywhere have proved most abundant, are now nearly all safe under cover. The accounts of the potato crop are disheartening. From all quarters we hear that the disease is making serious havoc amongst the " tubers." Some farmers say that at least one half their crops is already destroyed; others say that even if one - half b e gone, there will still be an abundant supply left, on hand.—Carlisle Journal. A stout, red-faced gentleman, in a white beaver, blue coat, and buff vest, offered to wager a /nn that h e would close his eyes , a nd, simply by taste, ame any kind of liquor in the house. The bet was taken, cad the process of winning or losing commenced forthwith. " This is genuine port, ' said the fat gentleman, tasting from a wine glass. " And this—this is whisky," and so on through the hotel's " manifest." A wag then poured a few drops of water into the glass, and handed it to the connoisseur. " This is---ah—ah—this is (tasting it) — by Jupiter! gentlemen, I lose the bet. I never tasted this liquq Wore." LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The Rates of Premium are calculated noon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PRE tIIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p for the first fi ve years—the retained ha lves, 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. PARTS ERSHIP POLICIES arc granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested.
