Unsuccessful in their effort to produce a weekly stagnation at the Post•office, the Sabbatarians are actually driven to the necessity of pouncing upon some unfortunate cattle drover as a delinquent. Be fore the City Police Committee on Saturday, a poor fellow was arraigned for a violation of the laws of Christianity, for inasmuch as he had driven a number of cattle from Brewer's Quay to Tower-hill at twenty minutes past eight of the clock on Sunday evening. The charge, be it observed, was trumped up on an old Act of King CHARLES the SECOND. Now, tlin examination, it turned out that the unfortunate animals in question were foreign cattle imported for home consumption. From the vessel pitching, and from the cattle having to stand throughout the voyage, they appear to have reached the metropolis in a very distressed condition late on Sunday after noon. It was therefore for the purpose of preventing any unnecessary cruelty, and to the end that these poor dumb creatures might obtain food and rest in some temporary place of shelter, that they were driven by the prisoner, a dis tance of some Fix or seven rods. Yet, lo! in the name, forsooth, of Religion, he is forthwith taken into cus tody, and brought up before the authorities to receive punishment. Which of you has an ox that bath fallen into a pit on the Sabbath doth not get cords and drag him out ? Of course this wretched piece of rampant and. ostentatious piety was summarily snubb:ed by the presiding Alderman, the complaint being at once dismissed. We should like excessively to know, however, when all this Pharisaical humbug is to be brought to a termination. Is the public to be perpetually subjected to the impertinence of any sanctimonious numskull who pleases to arrogate to himself the right of chalking out the rules of some arbitrary scheme of morality ? Are all the emotions of humanity, are all the dictates of common sense, are all the principles of rectitude, are all the decencies of life, and all the rational impulses of the community to be ignored and set at naught, because some wiseacre, fancying himself better and more orthodox than his neighbour, happens to be subject at interval* to paroxysms of ethical hysteria ? Pshaw! the farce has been allowed too long to pass with impunity, casting a slur •upon the national judgment, and acting as a mockery upon all that is holy, and venerable, and loveable, and adorable in Christianity. An able and argumentative communication, ad dreFsed to ourselves, will be found in another portion of this evening's impression. It will be perused with attention, as coming avowedly from a representative of a town of some commercial standing—a diztin guishEd and influential member of the Commons' House of Parliament. In examining into the rea sonableness or unreasonableness of the demands male by the Sabbatarians in regard to the regulation of duties at St. Martin's-le•Grand, our esteemed correspondent has fairly placed the whole question as one arising between PAWL of Tarsus and JAMES of London. Well may he express his astonishment that there are men so egregiously fatuous as to be fear ful of "lifting up their voices for CHRIST'S Apostle against a sectarian Bishop." Nothing but the grossest and most crass stupidity, nothing but the stoniest and most wilful blindness, nothing but the profoundest and most impenetrable igno• ranee can induce those persons to prefer the words of JAMES the Bishop, to the ordinations of PA►JL the Apostle. And yet this they do virtually and actually. With regard to the observance of Sun days, according to the-Apostolic writings, there really is nothing to be found in them, as our correspondent sententiously and sagaciously remarks, beyond a recommendation that the first day of the week is to be called " the Loma's" or CHRIST'S Day, in comme moration of the Resurrection, and that on it the faithful should assemble and make charitable collections. "All the rest," says our correspondent, " is aforgery"—or as the Roman Catholics would say, " all the rest is tra ditional." In defiance of all this, however, the Sab. batarians exult, while JAMES the Bishop, at their head, saith to the contrary. Saith to the contrary, remember ! although the Seventh Article of th e Church of England solemnly declares that neither the ceremonies and rites, nor the civil precepts of the law given to MOSES are binding on Christians ! Surely here is in truth and in deed, as our correspon dent (himself a Member of the Imperial Legisla ture) asserts, "the hubblyjock of a sacredotal false hood !" expose the f Besides helping to jo , ght even say the heterodoxy sime Sabba ofth" itY' and we suggestion tari,ins, our correspondent advances consideration, eminently deserving that Jewish employes should perform l t r o ) namely, duties which appear to be so repugnant to some consciences they themselves being permitted to stand ex= 1 empt from the customary toil on Saturday x : By this method of regulation no violence what ever would be done to the Quixotic punctilio s of any individual_the Jews and their Christian colleagues alternately relieving each other on the first and the last day of each successive week. The advice is not unworthy of serious Attention, although to our thinking it evinces rather too generous a NEWeiglatgiteppixery intolerant and intolerable class. To ",,,...-erytorl it-ilas rather too much the appearance of a . &;;:. o k4olv*,,i-‘ind seeing that the Sabbatarians never IgtV i ltalfcio show a disposition to give qua rt e r, 4 1 7, ia ; at, as a matter of justic e an d fair- 4 TEE SUNS dealing, they should be encountered upon their own inexorable system of warfare. The report of Mr. BERWICK, although placed in the hands of the Irish Executive on the 22d of September, and acted on by the dismissal of Lord RODEN and the Messrs. BEER from the magisterial bench, has only just been given to the public. It is a singularly able and well-considered document. The amiability of disposition - for which the Learned Gentleman is remarkable is strikingly exemplified in every paragraph. He forbears to comment on the atrocious transactions which he was deputed to investigate with the intense indignation that must be felt by every person pos sessed of the ordinary feelings of humanity. But he has narrated facts which exhibit the horrible details in even a stronger light than any in which they had hitherto been placed. He goes through the whole case with the calmness of an unbiassed mind and the acuteness of an eminent lawyer. He com mences by stating that, for a great number of years, animosities existed and: collisions occurred between the Orange party and the Roman Catholics of the county of Down, caused chiefly by the recur rence of party processions at stated periods in each year, the 12th of July being the principal obnoxious anniversary celebrated by the Orange party. The temporary dissolution of the Orange Society led to a better disposition on both sides ; the feelings of mutual animosity that had pre viously been so painfully perceptible had subsided to a great extent, and would no doubt have eventually disappeared had nothing occurred to revive the bygone differences and dissensions. The Ribbon Society, which, as we have already explained, was the offspring of the Orange Confederacy, declined in numbers and organization. All would have been peace and tranquillity had not the Party Processions Act, which led to such happy results, been unfortunately suffered to expire in the year 1845. It was hoped that the extreme sections, having witnessed the practical effects of this most salutary law, would have continued to respect the spirit of its provisions even after its expiration. Our law givers, however, knew but little of the fell and malignant feelings of these wicked factions. Scarcely had the Act expired, scarcely had the Le gislative prohibition been withdrawn, when the Orange Society was re-organized. At first they were contented to meet in the secret recesses of their lodge rooms, and to give expression to their , vindictive party .feelings in drunken orgies, where there were no indifferent witnesses to be disgusted or enraged at their wild and reckless fanaticism. At length, emboldened by numbers, and encouraged by the countenance of men of some rank and standing, they determined to make an exhibition of their strength. There was at that period at least a plausible pretext for their determination. It was in the year 1848, and the Young Irelanders had proceeded to lengths which their leaders bad subsequently so much reason to deplore. Revolutions were springing up in every nation in Europe, and ancient dynasties trembled on their thrones. The Orangemen pretended that they were anxious to strengthen the hands of the Crown and Government, to exhibit their loyalty and devotion to their SOVEREIGN, and to the laws and Constitution of the United Kingdom. They wished to make a counter-demonstration to the revolutionary party then formed in other parts of Ireland, and for these alleged objects they determined to walk in processions on the 12th of July, 1848. We say such were the pretended objects of the association, for had they been really sincere in their professions, they might have proceeded in a more legitimate and unobjectionable manner. There was, it appears, a certain spot in the neigh bourhood where peculiar jealousy was evinced to Orange exhibitions. Dolly's Brae bad long obtained an unhappy notoriety, as a scene of san guinary outrage and disturbance. Thirty years pre viously blood had been shed in one of the many murderous conflicts that took place between Orange men and Ribbonmen in the country, and it was well known that the Roman Catholics, by whom it was exclusively occupied, had made it a point of honour to prevent Orange processions from defiling through their mountain pass. Nothing but a reckless deter mination to insult their Roman Catholic brethren could have induced the Orangemen to select the mountain path. A wider and more convenient road wound around the foot of the mountain, which, although more circuitous, was infinitely better suited for a numerous assembly than the straight and narrow defile to which we have alluded. It is, therefore, by no means surprising that the Orangemen, even in the plenitude of power and insolent domination, should have gone out of their way to cast a gratuitous insult upon the inhabitants of the district. For thirty years no Orange procession had passed through Dolly's Brae, and it was scarcely supposed that the disputed territory would again be invaded. A rumour was, however, spread in the beginning of July, 1848, that the Orangemen would march by the mountain road, and sworn informations were promptly laid before Mr. FRANCIS BEERS, a magistrate of the county and a leader of the Orange faction, stating the danger of a serious collision if' a course so in sane were adopted. Mr. BEERS, in 1848, had some slight portion of common sense. Even his brother, the doughty FRANCIS, was not quite given over to his own vain imaginings. The latter, therefore, called on Mr. MORGAN, the Roman Catholic clergyman of the district, requesting his influence to prevent a breach of the peace, and promised that the disputed position would not be assailed ; but that they would march by the new road, or the way from Ballyround to Castle wellan, whereupon Mr. MORGAN at once undertook, on behalf of the Roman Catholic party, that no interruption would be offered to the procession. Both sides remained faith ful to these engagements, and the day passed off in comparative tranquillity ; a few stray shots at the Roman Catholic clergyman who had interfered to restrain his own party being the only achievement of the Orange heroes. This insult to their beloved pastor inflamed the passions of his congregation, and great indignation was naturally excited among the peaceable Roman Catholics there assembled. As they could not avenge themselves by force of arms, they resolved to do so in the manner so agree able to Irish hearts ; and a doggrel song was accord ingly composed and chaunted in derision of the Orangemen, who, in turn, felt deeply exasperated at the ridiculous lampoon. Such was the state of feeling on both sides in the beginning of the present year. We regret to be obliged to postpone our notice of the subsequent proceedings which led to the san guinary disturbances and outrages of the last anni versary of the battle of Aughrim. TURKEY. The Levant mail brings advices from Constanti nople of the sth instant. M. DE TITOFF and Baron STURMER were still residing in the city, although all diplomatic communications with the PORTE remained suspended. On the 2d the Turkish army, stationed in the neighbourhood of Constantinople, was reviewed by the SULTAN in person ; a sham fight took place, in which the whole of the troops took part. The num ber of soldiers on the ground was upwards of 53,000 besides MO pieces of artillery, and their appearnce, as well as the enthusiasm they showed on the occasion, is described by the Constantinople papers in glowing terms. The English, French, Prussian, and other Ambassadors were present on the occasion. The Russian and Austrian Envoys were absent. The disturbances at Samos had not been put down. Additional troops had been sent to the island, and a Turkish frigate had been ordered to co-operate on the coast. _ vv M.

We have received the French papers (if Saturday and yesterday. The debate on the Roman question ;'¢ Y3S con tinued on Friday, and the report - the dis cussion up to the conclusion of the speech of M. VICTOR HUGO appeared in the Third Edition of The Sun of Saturday. He was replied to by the great Jesuit orator, M. DE MONTALEMBERT, who commenced his speech by a gross insult, which roused the indignation of every member of the As sembly, except those belonging to the parti-pretre, and for which even M. DUPIN felt himself compelled to call the most Christian and religious orator to order. This incident was also reported in the Third Edition of The Sun of Saturday. M. MONTALEMBERT then proceeded in the most enthusiastic strain to justify not only the present POPE, but all his predecessors, even the BORGIAS. The following short extract from his speech will show the lengths to which M. DE MONTALEMBERT and the obscurantists are pre pared to go in their support of sacerdotal mis government : " Where are the executioners and the tortures he talks of under the reign of Pius IL, or even under his pre decessors? " A Voice—History will tell you. " M. de Montalembert—Yes, and history will prove that for a long time past there has n ot been a single Pope' who was tyrannical and oppressive — p, m . de mta n the Left—Andonembr—T t e he t ßor h gi e Pope a.—(G a Borgia.—(General nel always s Latig pardons;Laughter.) he is obliged to pardon. "A Voice on the Left—Yes, when he is paid for it.— (Murmurs.) " M. de Montalembert—That is why, in the amnesty which you so insultingly designate , as a proscription, h e is compelled to make exceptions. ' It would appear that M. DE MONTALEMBERT never heard of the execution of the unfortunate Uao BASSI, it would appear that he has never heard of the arrest of Dr. Acainni, and of hundreds of others, and of their transference to the dungeons of the Inquisition, of that prison which, when examined at the suppression of the Inquisition by the Roman Republic, was found to have in its passages a series of trap doors, through which unfortunate persons fell a great depth into the dungeons below' in which dungeons, when examined, were found not only human bones, but human bodies in various stages of decomposition, a proof that the murders which had been there committed must have been some of them at least of recent date. Even the acts of HAYNAU, albiet admitted by M. DE MONTALEMBERT to be detestable and de plorable, are justified as acts of reprisal. "As to the massacres in Hungary," says the Jesuit orator, " if what the journals say be true, I condemn them, detest them, deplore them ; and I add, that after all they are but acts of reprisal."—(Movement.) The pious and most Christian vindicator of acts of reprisal does not condescend to particulars ; he does not ven ture to state for what crimes these acts of HAYNAU are acts of reprisal, although the Re publicans and Orleanists also French may learn the fate that is in store for them should the parti-pretre ever get into power.. M. DE MONTA LEMBERT will, no doubt, be severely reprimanded by the Jesuit fathers for the incautious candour with which he has broached this doctrine of reprisal. This speech was received with frantic enthusiasm by the members of the parti pretre, and by the abbes, priests, and women who occupied the galleries. M. VICTOR HUGO rose to explain, but the members of the parti pretre, both those in the Assembly and those in the gallery, drowned his voice by their interruptions, and the debate was adjourned. It was resumed on Satur day by M. VICTOR HUGO, who having explained, was followed by M. EMMANUEL ARAGO, who condemned the policy of the expedition in toto with regard to the expulsion of foreigners from Rome. M. Em manuel Arago having retorted energetically on,M. de Montalembert,contended that the French installed in Rome a greater number of foreigners than they had expelled. Cardinal Lambruschini, for instance was not a Roman ; he was born at Genoa. Out of the 57 cardinals who composed the Sacred College, only 30 were natives of the Roman states. Considerable laughter was produced by this palpable bit, after which M. E. Arago proceeded to stigmatise the conduct of those Ministers of the French Re public who had presided at the restoration of the absolute 'government of priests at Rome as an act of treason. M. ODILON BARROT then rose and said, that he could not allow the discussion to close without specifying the nature of the vote the Cabinet claimed from the Assembly. He demanded a reasonable and enlightened adhesion. The Roman question was now known. Enough had been said on the subject. In the demands it had addressed to the Pope, and of which it pursued the realisation, had the Cabinet exaggerated its rights, compromised the inte rests of France, made any unreasonable application, or were the means employed unjust or impolitic ? Such was the question. He then examined the cir cumstances under which the expedition was under taken, and - agreed with General Cavaignac that had France abstained she would have disgraced herself. There was only one alternative left, besides sending an expedition to Civita 'Vecchia, that was, to recog -1 rf ze the Roman Republic and conclude with it an of fensive and defensive alliance. That plan had been proposed to the Constituent Assembly by M. Ledru Rollin, and supported only by a very small mi nority. Its adoption would have been an act of 1 unpardonable folly. Universal war would have been its inevitable result, and a political and religious war at home. It would have been, he repeated, an act of insanity—the greatest of crimes. The Cabinet was charged with not fulfilling its engagements with the Roman people. The French army had entered Rome without a capitulation, un conditionally. It might have dictated terms, but, in spite of the guet-apens of the 30th of April, the 1 ' insults and murders to which that army was exposed, France had redeemed her pledge, and France alone, under existing circumstances, would have acted as she did. General Cavaignac repudiated all idea of inter vention. Now, when no revolution had yet occurred at Rome, and, on the mere report that the Pope's person was in danger, the General told M. de Cor celles, " We place a brigade at your disposal, with which you must secure the person of the Pope and bring him to France." This was not an interven tion, it is true ; it was a direct insult to the Pope. Austria was preparing to march upon Rome. Her assistance had been claimed by the conference of Gaeta. The denouement Has imminent, and huma nity and liberty would have been menaced had France not interfered in their behalf. No protest had arisen against her intervention, not even at Gaeta, where it was tacitly approved of. When the three Cardinals took possession of the Government their first acts alarmed not only the French agents but public opinion itself. At that moment the Presi dent of the Republic did what he had already done on a previous occasion. He raised the cry of French conscience in the face of influences which seemed to compromise the influence of France. His loyal and generous sentiments were heard, as they were, when an order of the day of the Constituent Assembly spread discouragement in the ranks of the French army under the walls of Rome. The President was nut afraid to proclaim those sentiments in the face of passions and at the risk of incurring the hatred of parties. He could not sanction private vengeance and the re• establishment of old abuses, and he protested in favour of the French diplomacy, and he had already protested in favour of the French army. M. Victor Hugo had declared that that letter was in complete opposition with the motu proprio. M. Odilon Barrot admitted that it did not realise all the expectations of the Cabinet, and it was for that reason it continued to negotiate. tHe then referred to the rumours which had circulated of late relative to alleged differences between the Cabinet, the President of the Republic, and the majority of the Assembly, and indignantly denounced the culpable hopes of those who speculated on a probable collision. The Government was not, he said, pursuing at Rome the realisation of chimeras ; it demanded for the Roman people all the liberties compatible with their wants and degree of civilization. The representative government was impossible at Rome; the sad ex periment made of that form of government was an insurmountable obstacle to its establishment, and it was moreover incompatible with the sovereignty of the Pope. His Holiness and Cardinal Antonelli, as early as the 14th of July, had consented to grant the Consulta of State the right of discussing and voting the budget, with certain restrictions, it was true, which he trusted the noble-minded Pontiff would speedily remove. But he here declared, in the name of the President of the Republic and his Mi nistry, that the idea of extorting by violence any con session from the Pope had never been entertained by them ; and he was authorized by M. Louis Bonaparte to give those who perceived a menace in his letter a formal contradiction. The Pope had, moreover, con sented to the reform of the courts of law. In a con versation he had had with M. de Corcelles the Pontiff thus expressed himself :—" You French are always in a hurry. We Romans proceed more slowly ! Let this not frighten you. I have a good piece of news to tell you. A code of laws has been of late in progress of preparation, but we wished: to do something agree able to France. We have accordingly resolved to adopt for our model the best of codes—the Code Napoleon, with a few modifications in certain chap ters, such as that of marriage„Acc." Tim Pope had likewise conceded the most extensive municipal liber ties ever enjoyed by the Romans, or, indeed, by any nation. In conclusion, M. BaTrot said that, now that the Assembly knew the acts and demands of the Government, and the object it pursued at Rome, it behoved it to approve or disapprove its conduct ; but the Cabinet was determined to reject any amendment at variance with the explanations he bad given. After short speeches by MM. CHARLES LAGRANGE and Eatu. BARA.ULT, the whole of the amendments were rejected without a division, and the first credit demanded by the Government was voted by a nthjo rity of 469 to 180. The second and third items were subsequently voted by nearly the same majority, and the Bill was passed without a division. The state trials at Versailles still continue. The Court was occupied on Saturday in hearing evidence of the proceedings of M. LEDRU-ROLLIN and the re presentatives at the Conservatoire. The steam-frigate Tenare sailed for Toulon with dispatches for the French Minister at Constantinople, on the 16th. The Constitmtionnel publishes a letter from Constan tinople of the sth, which states that although no dis patches have been received from St. Petersburgh, yet that it is known for certainty that the conduct of the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors is approved of by their Courts. The former has received instruc tions to withdraw, and only waits for the authoriza tion of M. DE TITOFF to keep him company. It is stated that, in case of war, Sir S. CANNING had pro mised English officers for the Turkish fleet, and General AUPICJIC French officers for the land service. M. DE TITOPT had sent away the Russian merchant vessels. There was a rumour of news being brought by a steamer of the sailing of the English fleet from Malta for the Dardanelles. The departure of the French fleet from Hyeres was to have taken place on the 12th. The Patrie publishes the :following letter from Rome, dated 12th inst.:— " The Holy Father has just consulted the Sacred College on the opportuneness of his return to Rome. The discussion was very long; it commenced on the 6th, and was resumed awl terminated on the following day. The majority decided that the residence of the Pontiff at Rome was desirable, and that it was necessary that he should instal himself at the Vatican during the occupa tion of Rome by the French army. The return of the Pope, unless fresh diplomatic complications should arise, will take place in the course of the month of December. It has been decided that the effective strength of the army will be reduced after the lit of January, and only a garrison necessary to secure public tranquillity in the city be left." There has been but little done in the Passage de l'Opera, but prices were rather better. Fives were done at 88f. sc. • BUSINESS DUNE IN . FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TdE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Ocr. 20.

The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, including 8,000 American at 50. to Bd. ; 500 Per nambuco, &c., at 61d. to 7d. ; 200 Egyptian at 64d. to ; and 300 Surat at 4p. to 4id. per lb. Of the above American 4,000 were taken on speculation.—ln Railway Shares a large business was done at a slight advance. The Grain market is not so firm to-day for inferior wheat, but much the same for other samples. The steamer America brings the United States and Canada mails, but we have no letters in town yet. From the outline of the news received, it would appear that money was in request at New York, although there was a fair supply of it. The markets were inactive for bread stuffs, but a good deal was doing in cotton at a slight advance. Business generally is still favourably spoken of, and there was more than the usual briskness after the dull period occasioned by the hot weather and the pre valence of cholera. The Exchange on London was firm, at 110 to 1101. Respecting railways in the United States we are told " There has been an increase in each of the past three years, and it is altogether likely that the running ex penses per mile will this year, 1849, exceed that for either of the previous years. According to the returns of receipts, for the first six months of several years past, the earnings of the last six months in 1846-47, and 48, have been a little larger, and the same rate of receipts for the last six months of 1849, will give an income of 374,998 dollars, which added to the receipts already reported for the first six months, give an aggregate for the year of 696,426 dollars. Now we are prepared to show, upon the data of previous returns, that nearly or quite the whole of the income will be used up in the payment of running expenses and repairs, leaving the interest on the debt and stock of the company to be paid out of or by an increase of the capital. It appears that the expenses in the first three years ranged from 63 to 68 per cent., on a short road, where the earnings per mile were to a fair amount, but that proportion will not hold good on a long road, where the earnings per mile are so much reduced. To make a calculation upon such a basis, the receipts per mile should be the same. We, therefore, base our estimates upon the expenses per mile in 1848. The Erie Rail road is now two hundred and forty miles long, and the same facilities for travel and transportation of freight have to be kept up as though the traffic was dou ble what it will be. In 1848 the running expenses and repairs per mile amounted to 2,642 dollars, and at the same rate this year, the aggregate expenditures under these heads would amount to 633,080 dollars. " These expenditures will use up the whole of the in crease of capital. The railroad companies of New Eng land are rapidly increasing their capitals and adding largely to the cost of construction. Unfortunately their receipts, or earnings, do not increase in a corre sponding ratio, and the prospect of better dividends is by no means promising. The cost of some of the railroads in New England has been doubled within the past five years, and the greatest extravagance has been exhibited in some of the expenditures. The building of magni• ficent depots has added largely to the capitals of several companies ; and if the increase of roads creates a greater competition and reduces the income of all, we think railroad property in New England has seen its best day s." The Continental advices are not generally of interest to-day, but there is satisfaction expressed among the jobbers for a rise at the issue of the question raised in the French Legislature upon the Roman affair. There is a dull but firm market for Public Securities, Consols being 92i to 4. The French advices are in favour of prices, but the report that the Russian fleet bas orders to be ready to sail at the shortest notice from Sebastopol, deters speculators. The market is still looked upon favourably, all things considered. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92k to I, and the Three per Cents. 901-,' to 91. Bank Stock has been rather weaker, viz., 1971 to 1981. Exchequer bills have been 435. to 46a., and India Bonds 80s. to 83s. premium. In the Foreign Market business is entered into at rather reduced quotations. Mexican Bonds have been 264 to 27. Peruvian have been marked 531 to t. Brazil Bands have realised 821 to 83; and Portuguese Four per. Cents. have receded to 33 to 331. Russian Stock has been flatter likewise, viz., 106} to 107. Dutch Four per Cents. have been quoted 82. Railway Shares have been firm, but the transactions are not of any moment. The North British Railway secretary has given no tice that the interest payable on the preference shares, to parties who have paid all calls regularly, is a mere fraction under Is. 51. per share, from which the income tax will have to be deducted. The dividend warrants are expected to be ready in about a fortnight. BRITISH FUNDS THLS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 197 1 ,( 198 k 3 per Cent.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY. Letters from the leading country markets held on Saturday state that a steady demand prevailed for all kinds of Wheat, at, in most instances, an advance in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. Spring Corn and Flour were held at full prices. The general supplies were by no means extensive. We have later adrices from New York ; the market for bread stuffs was very inactive, at barely stationary prices. The demand' in the western ports was equally dull. The continental markets have been tolerably firm for most articles, at fully previous rates. Several purchases of Flour have been effected for our market. During last week the re ceipts of English grain into the port of London were small, those from Ireland and Scotland trifling. The imports from abroad were-5,803 quarters of Wheat, 4,512 do of Barley, 15,568 do of Oats, 6 do of Rye, 538 do of Beans, 944 do of Peas, 10 do of Tares, 4,580 do of Linseed, 40 do of Mustard Seed, 33 do of sun dry Seeds, 2,571 sacks and 657 barrels of Flour. The quantity of Wheat of home produce received fresh up to our market this morning coastwise from Essex was considerably in excess of that reported on Monday last, but the receips of that grain from Kent, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire were only moderate. By land carriage the arrivals were slightly on the increase, and of fair average qual'ity. Although the stands were by no means heavily supplied with samples, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was in a very sluggish state. Selected qualities of both red and white sold without difficulty, at prices equal to those paid on this day se'nnight, but the quotations of the middling and inferior kinds suffered a decline of Is per quarter, at which a fair clearance was effected. A few offers came to hand from Essex and Cambridgeshire to ship Wheats at ruling prices. With Foreign Wheat we were but moderately supplied. Fine dry samples moved off at full rates of currency. In the inferior kinds very little business was transacted, and the quotations were in some instances, Is per quarter lower than last week. Very few transactions were reported in cargoes afloat; hence prices ruled almost nominal, but certainly the turn in favour of the buyers. The show of English Barley was trifling; that of foreign comparatively small. Malt ing and grinding parcels moved off steadily, at full cur rencies. Distilling sorts commanded scarcely any attention. Notwithstanding that the supply of Malt was very small, that article was dull in the extreme, at barely stationary prices. Very few home-grown Oats were on offer. The supply of foreign was moderatel extensive. Sound parcels sold at fully la s t week's quotations. In all other kinds very little was doing, at unaltered figures. There was a fair inquiry f or Tick Beans at full prices. All other kinds were dull. The sale for alt qualities of Peas was heavy, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Indian Corn and Meal were much neglected, although the supply was trifling. Fine Flour was quite as dear. S(e)nd qualities ruled heavy. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

During the week just concluded the imports of forei . g 9 Beasts into London have bee n unusually extensive, vlz* , 1,479 head, chit fly from Denmark; but those of Sliceg! Calves, and Pigs, have cxhibit(d a decided falling 0 "; The total arrival has amounted to 4,608 head, being 48 ' less than in the preceding week. At the same time J ° 1848 we received 5,056 ; and du r i ng th e same week . 1847, 3,471 head; hence it will be perceived that t.ho supply has been seasonably large. The general qualltY of the stock has turned out interior. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Wiener Zeitung of the 14th, publishes a long list of promotions in the army. The Breslau Zeitung says that Baron PILLERSDORF, the ex-Minister, was arrested on the 11th at Aoslare, and conveyed to the criminal prison. His arrest took place in consequence of the accusations of Dr. FISCHOFF. The following is an extract from a Vienna letter in the Kolner Zeitung : " Hanging and shooting—shooting and hanging ! Such is, at present, the manner in which the men in power say good morning and good night to the nations of Austria. The noble and generous Messaros, the patriot Beothy, Palaczy, and many others, are either executed or in the act of meeting their doom. The strong hand in Austria is a blocdy hand, and the slaughter once begun is so tempting that our rulers cannot think of leaving off ! Nay, more ! Some people there are so mean that they dare to defend Bat thyany's execution as an act of justice. Perhaps the Feldzeugrneister Baron Haynau is going to have a crown of laurel. But truly the men who form the Government are to be pitied, for true and honest men withdraw from them, and toadies and informers surround them. Formerly it was said that Kings bad no chance of hear ing the truth. We are far more justified in lamenting the infatuation of the councillors of the Crown, which prevents them listening to the voice of the people. The whole of the civilized world protests against the present doings in Hungary. But the Ministers do not hear the voice of public opinion; they bear but the voice of the creatures that throng their offices, and and the voice of a press under the guardianship of martial law. All other opinions are prejudiced and revolutionary. I wish Prince Schwarzenberg would condescend to act the part of Ali Baba. Let him come among the people in disguise, and he will hear the voice of the people. Even the freeest press could not publish the expressions which would greet Prince Schwarzen berg's ear. It is true he and his colleagues will pass away, and make room for other men of equal power, and perhaps of an equal want of wisdom. But Schwar• venberg and his fellows cause public opinion to extend its imprecations to a greater person—to the Emperor, whom the people ought not to be taught to ally with cruelties and deeds of blood, violence, and vengeance. Under the absolute Government of former times the people of Austria were fond of their Emperor; for what ever they suffered they threw the blame upon the aris tocracy and the bureaucracy.
