The so-called Religionists are at it again ! Again are our ears stunned with the cries of" Sabbath Desecration !" Of all elasses certainly in the United Kingdom these gentlemen are the most thin skinned and sensitive. Call a mackerel in the streets, and they are all but fainting. Let the potboy go his rounds precociously, say by two minutes, rattling his cans against the area railings, and summoning the cook with his feline cry of " Be-er !" and they are very nearly in a state of asphyxia. Let an ungodly engine come wheezing up to any one of the platforms on the Scottish Central Railway on a Sunday, and they are ready to expire, or explode, or give some other alarming indication of their astonishment. It is recorded of EBENEZER SCROOGE that when he saw the two back buttons of his coat through the transparent ghost of JACOB MARLEY, he then recognized for the first time how true the neighbours had been when they declared of his deceased partner that he had no bowels. We require no such evidence from an apparition to remove any incredulity as to the same observation applied to thewsanctimonious Sabbatarians. After their humane and magnanimous proceeding towards her Grace the Duchess of SUTHERLAND it would be rather difficult to view each a remark when directed towards them as in any degree libellous. We have learnt by a • bitter experience that although they might, and would unquestionably extricate, on any day out of the seven, the ox who had fallen into the pit for the sake of their pockets, they would be disposed to bellow out ',pretty loudly against whosoever might presume to cull the ripe corn• ears in harvest time, at any hour between sundown on Saturday and sunrise on Monday. For all that they would do to remove the possibility of such calamities—the aged parent might breathe his last without seeing his children, the victims of sudden disease might remain unaided by the skill of a physician, the merchant might be ruined, because a train should not run, a hack should not be saddled, a letter should not be posted at certain weekly intervals. Manifestly these persons pray according to a punctilio. They may disclaim any sympathy with the " mummeries" of this or that order of the priesthood, but it is never theless sufficiently clear that they are themselves im measurably more stringent sticklers for the forms of worship and the ceremonies of morality. They dream of escaping condemnation by a strict attention to the rubric—they dream of going to heaven by the card. 01 a truth these men must be none other than the lineal descendants of those foolish Galatians whom Saint PAUL reprimanded fur their excessive attention to rules, days, and seasons. They would love GOD according to the Rule of Three. They would work out their salvation as they would the veriest sum in arithmetic—the laws of the Kirk the " Divisor" and everlasting felicity the " Quotient." It may be that for inasmuch as we cannot remain silent when Cant b3comes thus rampant, and when Humbug assumes a tone so exquisitely and intolerably domi neering, it may be that we, for protesting thus ditinctly and emphatically against the dictum of Hypocrisy, stall fall under their reprobation as among „,,, the outcast and the reprobate. As ErHaAm SMOOTH, -P' - in thocomedy, avers to Lady AMARANTH, "Verily, I was blireeted by SATAN in the form of a young maiden ;" these EPURAM SMOOTHS of society may ex claim that verily they were buffetted by BEELZEBUB in the guise of a carnal-minded and heathen journalist. We care not—but must speak, and speak plainly too, for our whole soul abhors this miserable mockery of religion, this pestilent assumption of sanctity, this contemptible and pitiable masquerade of holiness. Away with it ! or we shall witness here, us elsewhere, the excessive recoil produced by the principle of reaction. If these Sabbatarian folks be permitted to rush into one extreme, the rest of the community may be driven into the other, out of tha t . ' sentiment of sheer opposition. Loving and ,reve rencing goodness as •we do from the innermost core of our nature, we are compelled ) by the very depth of that devotion, to protest against this wretched affectation of sanctity—this atrabilious pretence of sobriety—this cynical sham of all that is pure, and beautiful, and divine in Christianity. Recent improvements in many of the venerable Country edifices dedicated to the service of the Omni potent GOD have brought to light proofs of .an ignorance, a pig-headedness, a stupidity, and a barbarism in some intermediate generation of our ancestors, such:as it would be found impossible to exceed or even parallel elsewhere, we believe, even in the most benighted community. Exquisite tesselated pavements have been found to have at some period or other been caked over with earthen tiles; the sculptured. shafts .of marble pillars to have been covered with the commonest plaster; and very lately, in one of the village churches of England it was dis covered that the rich oak pews and reading-desks had been whitewashed t Now, morally these Sabbatarians are to us as these tiling,'plastering, and whitewashing dolts were actually ; the hiders of all that is most lovely, attractive. and effi cacious in the ordonations of religion. We feel towards them (only in an infinitely greater degree) as we have always felt towards that miseral ignoramus who had SHAKSPERE'S bust at Stratford-on -Avon —a bust originally giving the colour of his eyes, the hue of his hair and beard, and the bloom of life upon hi s countenance—scraped, or washed, or treated in some other equally horrible and sacrilegious manner. Pre cisely in this way, only to an intensity multiplied in proportion to the degree in which our reverence for morality exceeds our homage for SHAKSPEKE, do we feel towards these miserable little emmets of Sabba tarians. They have been putting themselves out of the way vastly during the last day or two, And all about 90me- cock-and-a-bull Story respecting a reported alteration in the arrangements of the General Post office. Meetings have been agitated, petitions have I been drawn up for signature, abusive letters have been written and printed, elaborate diatribes have been concocted and put into circulation. SATAN had got hold of the authorities at Saint Mar tin's .le-Grand ! Ungodliness had: descended like a pall upon the Government ! There was to be joy and exultation in the ranks of infidelity, for the abomination of desolation had already entered into the heart of London, within the very shadow of Saint Paul's Cathedral—there was to be a metropolitan delivery and transmission of letters on Sundays, the sorters, the clerks, the postmen were to be given over en masse to the Wicked One, seeing that henceforth they would be prevented from attending Diviue service on the " Sabbath." Well I and after-all this fuss—the- whole affair turns out to be a mere flarn ! No little shrimp of a schoolboy was ever more egregiously cheated by a tallow-candle, a sheet, and a turnip. Here have these pious gentlemen been roaring about another desecration of the Sabbath enough to split the drums of our ears—and lo! the cause of all this unearthly hubbub proves on examination to be—nothing more than a false report! In another colunin of this very evening's impression of our jourual will ,be found an authenti cated statement that the measure in question has been " altogether misunderstood." The new ar- .. rangements, it will be :seen from that announcement, " instead of adding to' the SandaY duties In the Post-office department, will, on :,Me.. whole, s _very greatly reduces them; end will not bring in or take out a single • London letter." So I Messieurs the Sabbatarians, having made yourselves supremely ridiculous, we have the honour to wish you good day for the present—and no more nightmares ! When in former leading articles we adverted to the distressing massacre at Dolly's-brae, and the subsequent investigation, we did so with a gentle hand—we were unwilling to wound the feelings of those who gave countenance and support to a demonstration termi nating in so fearful a catastrophe. We wereun willing to believe that men of high st ation, and amiab le in private life, could knowingly and wilfully sanction and encourage proceedings if they could have anticipated that such proceedings would eventuate in scenes of spoliation and bloodshed. We did not give them credit for wisdom, but we were unwilling to believe them wicked ; we had hoped that when they saw the fearful results of their folly that, impressed with feelings of the bitterest remorse, they would submit to the laws they had so disgracefully violated, and which many of them had sworn to vindicate and maintain. With feelings of pain are we obliged to confess our error. We now see that we gave those men credit for feelings which they did not possess. We are now constrained to believe that their wicked ness is paramount to their folly, and that there can be no peace in Ireland—and we would aimost say there ought not to be—while such men are allowed to exercise the slightest power or authority fiver any portion of their fellow-subjects. To these conclusions we have been led by the appearance of one of the most rampant and atrocious manifestoes that ever disgraced the pen or lips of even an Irish Orangeman, emanating from a Mr. WILLIAM BEERS, one of the Orange magistrates, who took a most active and disgusting part in the law-breaking and blood-shedding at Dolly's-brae. This gentleman, holding her ]MAJESTY'S commission of the peace, ap pears to glory in the valorous achievements of his blood-thirsty brothers. He says, " The defeat and capture of the dastardly and contemptible ruffians are things to be gloried in and to be thankful for." Yet this is a magistrate, sworn to dispense equal and impartial justice between those same "dastardly and contemptible ruffians," in the shedding of whose blood he glories, and the deluded and ignorant Orangemen of the North, whom he holds in a blind and servile obedience, stirring up their worst passions by keeping alive the remembrance of bygone feuds, and holding them ever ready to be hallooed against their fellow man, to gratify a base", unmeaning, and malignant spirit l This minister of piiace reminds his inof fensive brother Orangemen of the memory of Scullabogue, tells them of the musket, the pike, and all the deadly armoury of " Popish miscreants," uses every ferocious epithet tending to stir up rancour, hatred, and ill-will amongst her MAJESTY'S subjects. He omits no scene of strife or blood calculated to make the sanguinary scenes of Dolly's brae per petual. This justice of the peace goes farther. He dares—defies the British Government to interfere with his loyal and harmless brothers in the gallant sport of shooting their fellow- subjects. He says— But, brethren, be convinced that the impudent and artful dodge will not do; and that if the Government of the country, through any pretence whatsoever, to please either priests or rebels, lend any, the slightest counte nance or suiction to any foul play against the Orange body or Orangemen, they will be only cutting their own throats, weakening their own power, showing forth their own inconsistency, and earning for themselves both the distrust and scorn of those on whose strong right arms their chief reliance was placed in 1848." 'We cannot follow this gentleman farther in his fa tuous strain of brutish bombast—the cool audacity with which he puts forward the preposterous notion that the Government of this country mainly relied on the strong arms of a handful of paltry bigots, in a narrow corner of Ireland, to put down an anticipated insurrection. Our forty thousand troops were as nothing compared with the loyal heroes of Dolly's brae, with two or three parsons and the valorous BEERS at their head. This man's braggadocio under other circumstances would only excite ridicule or con tempt, and we should be disposed so to treat it, if the due administration of justice were not concerned. We believe the British Government is well aware where to seek the support of unconditional loyalty. We believe the British Government would place more re-' liance upon the moral influence of that slandered and loyal priesthood which Mr. BaEus, in his rampant bigotry, places' in the category of rebels than in the arms of Mr. BEER'S "ragged regiment." These Ulster Loyalists would find themselves more at home, regaling themselves on the good things of their Grand Master at Tollmore Park, than in facing the deadly pike the weapon they appear to hold in such horror—on the mountains of Tipperary, one-half of the stalwart na tives of which county would, we believe, charge every Orangeman in Ireland into the sea. We trust the Government of this country will know how to: deal with Mr. BEERS and his brother justices. It is im possible to suppose that that this gentleman can any longer be allowed to bring discredit on the justice. seat, the law into contempt, and the country to ruin. Can this man, who could scarcely prevail on himself to call the shedding of the blood of; his .fellow-man " a blot on the triumph of the day," be longer con tinued a justice of the peace? If so, we can only say we can neither expect peace nor justice in Ireland. POST-OFFICE SUNDAY DUTIES. We are authorised to contradict the statements which have appeared in several of this morning's papers as to the intentions of the Postmaster-General with reference to Sunday mails. The object of the measure in question has been altogether misunder stood; instead of adding to the Sunday duties in the Post-office deortment, it will, on the whole, very greatly reduce them, and it will not bring in or take out a single London letter. It is unnecessary, there fore, to say that there will be neither delivery nor collection of letters in London on the Sunday. Out of London the Sunday deliveries will be reduced. COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. GRAHAM AND MASTER ELLIOTT. TO TEE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Owing to a fatal mistake in pronouncing sentence on the above persons, I think that a court of law would liberate them on a writ of Habeas Corpus. The mistake consists in first dismissing them the ser vice, and then sentencing them to imprisonment. By the sentence of dismissal they became civilians, and no longer amenable to martial law, consequently they are illegally imprisoned Had the Court first sen tenced them to twelve months' imprisonment, and after that period to be dismissed the service, no person could cavil at the sentence. I am, Sir, your constant reader, SPECTATOR. THE Brsnor OF LLANDAFF.----- We are gratified to learn that accounts were received in town yesterday morning from Hardwick° Hall, near Chepstow, which convoy more favourable news o f t h e Right Rev. Prelate's health, Most sanguine hopes are entertained of his phi• mate restoration to health. THE SUN, LONDON, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The manifesto of the POPE and the proclamation of the three Cardinals appears in several of these papers, and is commented on in almost • all of them. The general feeling expressed in Paris is. one of wounded pride at the manner in which France has been treated, and of bitter indignation against the. PopE for the manner in which he has deluded the French Govern ment. The Journal des Debate thus comments on th manifesto : "This proclamation has turned out as things generally do which have been long waited for, a deception. We feel ourselves divided between a sentiment of personal, dissatisfaction and of grief for the Papacy. If on the one hand, we can obtain nothing better, it is by no means satisfactory for our dignity ; and if, on the other, the Papacy can grant no better without fear of suicide, it affords no great proof of strength or vitality." In speaking of the amnesty the same journal re marks that "the first article appears to grant a general amnesty, but the articles which follow create so many exceptions as to entirely destroy the effects of the first." The publication of these decrees in Rome produced, according to the Debats, an immense in , crease of irritation. Many of the proclamations were torn down by the people and covered with mud: It was rumoured that . General ROSTOLAN was so dis gusted with the proceedings of the Cardinals, that he bad broken, off all communication with them, and had again tendered his resignation to the,PRESIDENT of the Republic. The Constitutionnel has the following on the subject of the proposed new Roman loan : "'There has been a talk of a loan contracted by the Pope for withdrawing the paper money-and thelfal,se money which the Roman Republic put inko-cireuhaidn. It has been said that the bankers of Raine had tired to take up the revolutionary moneys, in return for the concession of the monopoly of salt and tobaccO. These statements are inexact. The Emperor of Russia b"us offered a loan of 5,000,000 crowns, guaranteed by the King of Naples, to he repaid by annuities, and bearing only two and two-and-a-half per cent. interest. We are assured that this offer will be accepted." A. letter from Toulon of the 23d instant announces the departure of several military surgeons, ordered by the Minister of War to proceed to Rome, to. the expeditionary army in that city; the tender Marsonin has likewise sailed for Civita Vecchia with supplies, from which it is inferred that the. French troops will occupy Rome for some time. The same letter adds, that chaplains have been appointed to the ships of the line in that barbour. La Patric contains the following paragraph relative to the refusal of the SULTAN to surrender the Polish and Hungarian refugees :—" We believe that we are authorised to state that the Porte, relying on existing treaties, refuses positively to accede to the demand of extradition of the Hungarian refugees made by the Emperor of RUSSIA. This refusal may produce serious complications. Couriers have been dispatched from Paris to the different Courts interested in the question." The greater number of the Representatives hive arrived in Paris, among them is M. Durix. hi. DE FALLOUX has gone to Ile Adam for a few days. PARIS BOURSE, SEPT. 27.—Business has been again almost null to-day, the attention of speculators being mostly taken up in preparing for the approaching settle ment.

The Hacienda has the following on the subject o the tariff : " The Council of Ministers has gone on assiduously revising the project of the general tariff which the direc tion of that branch presented, being accommodated to the bases of the law of the 17th July. All the parts relative to articles of importance, and worthy of consideration, whether from the amount of tbeirinteckluction, the °vanish products or manufactures which they affect, the transition from prohibited tto lawful ones, tb4ir necessary relation to the encouragement of the marine, or any other economical or political consideration, have been carefully examined and discussed, suffering some alterations and Modifications, the duty being raised or lowered according as the interests of the country have required it in the judgment of the same council. This task has been terminated re specting the general tariff of importation and exportation, the cotton part alone being wanting, with which the council was to occupy itself on Wednes day (le th), beginning by hearing the Count of Romera (Senor Orlando, who was in effect heard, and is stated to have stoutly defended the Catalan interests). The Ministers have manifested that they recognise all the importance of this law, and all the advantage and ne cessity of its prompt publication, dedicating lung sittings to it in consequence. The Direction of Customs and Tariffs, on its side, does not neglect to copy out and prepare the project for the press, with the variations which the resolutions taken have produced. We trust, therefore, Ithat it wi'l be fit to be published by the be ginning of October."

On the 25th the Second Chamber restored to the people the important right of self-taxation, of which the Ministry and the First Chamber had attempted to deprive them ' • this right guaranteed by the oc t ro y e d constitution, having been subsequently struck out. The revising committee restored this right by omit ting the first seven words of the 108th article. The debate occupied two days, and the result is that 212 have voted for the motion of the committee and 93 against. Ia the minority were the three ministers who have bean returned to the Second Chamber. The report of the revising committee of the First Chamber have modified the article so as to split the people's right, and therefore to maim and render it ineffectual.

The speakers against it were VON KLEIST, STIEHL, VON FOCK, BREITHAUPT, VON KLUTZON, Count ARNIM, TREDLENBURG, and SCHEERER. There is as yet no probability of any agreement taking place between Prussia and Austria on the subject of the German question. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Intelligence has been received 'from Vienna of the - '2oth. The rumour of the sur render of Comorn prevailed'' in Vienna, and it appears that considerable credit 'was attached to it. It Was also rumoured that BEM had died of his wounds in Wallachiii.. RADETZRY re viewed the girrison of Vienna oti 'the 20th. General WouLGEmyru, the Governor of Transyl vania, has - published a severe' proclamation, in order to put a stop to the brigandage of the Wallachs. In this he says, that several robberies and. murders having taken place, in spite of his repeated warnings, ,he feels himself called upon to take some decisive measure in order to suppress once for all these deeds of violence, instigated by hatred of race and personal revenge. Therefore orders have been sent to the commanders of the military stations, in all cases, where such offenders are caught in the perpetration of such acts of violence, to proceed according to the most summary form of . court-martial and shoot them on the spot. FRANKFORT, Letters from Frankfort state that on the evening of the 23d inst., in the village of Oberrad, near that city, the soldiers of different German nations came to a collision. Bavarians and Austrians fought against the Prussians, all of them with drawn weapons, killing and wounding several on either side. Prompt and energetic measures, however, were re sorted to by the military authorities for suppressing the outrage and punishing the guilty. FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1840. fine, those who, in addition to political offences, have rendered themselves guilty of other crimes provided against by the laws now in force, are excluded from the benefit of this amnesty. Tho present amnesty does'not imply the maintenance in the employment of the Go vernment, or in provincial or municipal posts, of those who have rendered themselves unworthy of them by their conduct during the late events. The same mien vation is applicable to the military and employes of all arms. " Given at our residence at the Quirinal, this 18th o September. " DELLA GENOA SER3IATTEI, VANNECELLI CASONI, ALTERIRE." The,indignation excited among the Roman people by the perusal of this mockery of an armistice was intense, and was only equalled by the deep feeling of wounded pride and anger manifested by the French soldiery at having been unwittingly made the instru ments of the restoration to power of such tricksters as those from whom these documents emanated. The state of Rome is becoming worse and worse every day that it continues under the dominion of the priests, of whose proceedings the following may be taken as a sample : " A lad of sixteea ' belonging to a respectable family of tradespeopl e in th e Via C, who had borne arms, like many other youths of similar age, in the ser vice of the Republic, disobeyed the order issued by General Oudinot for the surrender of arms, and concealed his musket. The circumstance came to the knowledge of his grandfather, who men.' tioned it in confession. The priest declared. that he must refuse the penitent absolution, except upon - condi, tion of denouncing the fact to the police, in which con sitted his only hope of salvation e .T ru t r o , an ldni d a g n av c e o i tn h; - plied with the i n j unc t ion of his on formation to the police—the old Gregorian staff, as you are already aware, hardened to such things. ' 4 party of carabineers entered the house to search for the weapon, to the-great consternation of the inmates, and bore off the juiciiiile culprit to prison. Such was theterand remorse of the old man at the unhappy consequetce his imprudence, that he had recourse to suicide, and threw himself into the Tiber." Into which, we may add, the whole of the priests, from the Cardinals downwards, =will find themselves throWn by the people some fine morn ing, if they do not speedily amend their ways ; and we believe that the French soldiers would " assist" at the ducking . without attempting to interfere to prevent it. - The Government Commission of State had issued a notification abolishing the corps of gendarmerie in all the Pontifical States, and substituting in their place a new political force, under the designation of Pontifical Velites. The Ministers of the United States t 6 Rome and Naples have been recalled for taking part with the POPE during the recent transactions, and the Com mander of the United States frigate Constitution has been severely reprimanded for losing hiti time at Gaeta in doing honour to his HOLINESS. - - The Grand Duke of FLORENCE will visit Vienna before he returns to his dominions. Two battalions of Austrians entered Florence on the 18:h. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. On Thursday evening Mr. Alderman Farncombe, the Alderman in rotation for the mayoralty, gave a dinner, in the hall of the Mercers' Company, to nearly a hundred of his constituents in the ward of Bassishaw, and his private friends. Alderman Hum phery and other members of the corporation were prevented from attending by indisposition, but there were present Mr. Alderman Gibbs, Mr. Sergeant Merewether, Town-clerk, the Master of the Cloth workers' Company, the Master of the Tallowchan dlers' Company, the Master of the Coopers' Com pany, the wardens and officers of several other companies, the deputy and common council of the. ward of Bassishaw, Mr. Jeremiah Carter, Mr. Hazard, Mr. Hyde Clarke, Mr. S. J. Ald r i c h, Mr. Buckler, Mr. Drew Wood, and several of the leading inhabitants of the neighbouring wards of Coleman• street and Walbrook. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. FARNCOMBE gave " The Magistracy of the city of London." Mr. Alderman GIBBS, in returning thanks, re minded the company that he was the colleague of Alderman Farncombe, in the shrievalty, in the year 1840, and bore testimony to the zeal, industry, and hospitality with which he had discharged the duties of the office, and the attention he had devoted to his aldermanic duties, as well as the esteem in which he was held by his brethren of the Court of Aldermen, who would no doubt return him to the Livery on Saturday. He concluded by giving the " Ward of Bassisbaw and Mr. Wadd, the Father of tile -Ward" Mr. :Wimp said, that during the`nine` sears Mr. Farncombe had presided over the ward, ,the„citizens had never once reason to regret their choice—that they considered they owed him a debt of gratitude for hi,p uniform courtesy and hospitality, and it was their intention to attend him to the hustings on Sa turday, and to omit DO means to secure his election. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER, whose health was drunk as Town Clerk, and a resident, congratulated the gentlemen present on the approaching election, for he considered Mr. Farncombe most fully qualified for the office, on the ground of his integrity, independence, and adhesion to principle, no less than by his social virtues. Mr. Hale, Master of the Tallow Chandlers' Company, whose health was drunk, stated that he had long known Mr. Farn combe, as a member of the court of that company, and as having discharged every office with zeal and liberality. Mr. Drew, on the part of the Master and Wardens of the Cooper's Company, offered their hall for the assembly of Alderman Farncombe's friends on Saturday, and the party broke up at a late hour. Mr. Turner, Mr. Farquharson Smith, and Mr. Holmes had charge of the musical arrangements, and Mr. Harker officiated as toastmaster with his usual efficiency. CO WES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

OPENING OF THE LYCEUM.--The Lyceum opens on Monday, under the management of Madame Vestris, on which occasion the National Anthem will be sung by the whole of the company. The pieces chosen for the openiug are The Sentinel, The Follies of a _Night, and The Garrick Fever. We understand there are various novelties in preparation. At a meeting of the Dundrum Railway Company, in Ireland, a few days ago, it was moved that the chair man be thrown out of the window; an amendment was proposed, that he be shoved down stairs; the original mo tion was, however, adopted, and was about to be car ried into effect, when a general fight ensued, and di riutors #ua hbarcholtier# appeared next day at the police (Act'. BOSNIA. Tha Agram Gazette publishes further accounts re ceived from the Bosnian frontier up to the 14th Inst., of the events that have taken place at Bibac, from the 6th to the 13th inst. inclusive. After the sanguinary action at the Klokot on the sth, there was no more fighting on either side. The cholera had been committing great havoc among the Turkish troops, and it was n o t until a thunderstorm on the night of the 13th that the scourge began to abate. The fatalism of the Turks seems to have given way to fear, to despondency, and desertion. The reinforcements for the Vizier " had not arrived yet, though promised. He had consequently thought fit to come to a parley with the insurgents, grant or promise them all their demands, and arrange the dispute peaceably. The Wanderer, in its repoo from the same_ localities, makes 49 men. tion of the Vizier's submission, though it admits him to be seriously worsted, so much so, indeed, as to afford him no chance of defeating the rebels, unless he calls in an Austrian force, which has been assembled hard by for the express purpere. The Vizier was in Bihacz, to which fcrtress the Austrians sent him, every day, 800 rations of bread. SAXONY. The Leipsic fair has commenced, and is the best that has been known for years. There is a brisk __de mand for all sorts - of commodities. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. A deputation from the parishes of the Angela, which lie north of the provincial line of demarcation laid down in Schleswig, have arrived at Berlin, for the purpose of praying the K ING no t t o a ll ow these German districts to be severed from South Schleswig, in the event of the line of demarcation being defini tively agreed upon in the treaty of peace. The deputation was admitted to an audience of the lirNd on Sunday, after Divine service. Pastor SCIIMIDT stated the case in detail, and was listened to by his royal hearer with evident interest, The deputation afterwards had the honour of dining with the KING, and on their return home have expressed themselves in the highest terms on the affability and warm sympathy of the KING. " SWEDEN. Accounts from Sweden of the 21st state'that much displeasure' has been expressed at Stockholm at the treatment given by Denmark to the Swectish. and Norwegian :-volunte+rs.

Indeed the question is seriously Can vassed whether Germany will subinit tacitly to such an indignity from so small a kingdom as Denmark. !There is evidently much bitter feeling on both sides, which time alone can allay. The Michaelmas fair at Hederslaben was unusually riotous; but thanks to the strenuous exertions of the neutral troops, no serious excesses were committed. HANOVER. ITAMBUIIGIT, SEPT. 23 —Hanover, it is stated, has withdrawn from the alliance of the three Kings, and on this account delays the convo ca ti on o f the Chambers. It is apprehensive that they will express themselves in fa vour o f the alliance, and thereby compel the Government to issue orders for the elec tion of deputies to the Diet. It, will, however, scarcely be possible to defer the meeting -of the Chambers beyond the next month, as much public business has to be settled.—liamburgh Borsenhalle. ITALY. The following documents were posted on the walls of Rome on the 20th : MANIFESTO OF THE POPE. POPE PIUS IX. TO HIS WELL-BELOVED SUBJECTS. Scarcely had the valiant armies of the Catholic powers, who, with a true filial devotedness, have co-operated in the're establishment of our liberty and of our independ ence in the temporal government of the States of the Holy See, delivered you from that tyranny which oppressed you in a thousand ways, than we not only addressed hymns of gratitude to the Almighty, but we at the same time hastened to send to Rome a governmental commis sion, in the person of three considerable prelates. They were charged to resume in our name the reins of civil government, and to advise on the measures which were called for by circumstances for the interest of order, security, and public tranquillity. We are occupied in establishing the bases of institutions calculated to secure to you, our well-beloved subjects, suitable liberties, and at the same time to secure our indepen dence, which we are obliged to preserve intact in the face Of the universe. This measure has for object to satisfy those who have merited our kindness and our esteem, and to undeceive those unfortunate, misguided men who had taken advantage of our concessions to overthrow social order. To convince every one that we have only at heart your true and permanent prosperity, we have, of our own accord and with the full know ledge and plenitude of our autaority, decreed as follows: " Art. 1. There is instituted at Rome a Council of State. It shall give its advice on bills before they are submitted to the sovereign sanction. It shall examine all important questions in each branch of the public ad ministration on which it shall be consulted by us or by our Ministers. A special law shall determine the num • ber and the quality of the councillors, their dsities, their prerogatives, the rule of their discussions. atia all, that may be conn , i'cled with the regular working•of s impor tant a concession. " Art. 2. A State Consulta shall be institufea fi5V the finances. It shall give its opinion of the budget° of the State, it shall examine into the expenses, it shall advise on the establishment of new taxes and on the reduction of existing ones, on the best mode of assessment, on the most advisable means to be adopted for the re-establish ment of commerce, and on all which concerns the ia terests of the public treasury. The members of the Consulta shall be chosen by us from lists presented by the provincial councils. Their number shall be propor tioned to that of the provinces, which number may be increased by a determinate addition of persons which we shall reserve to us the right to name. A special law shall determine the mode of presentation cf the members of the Consulta, their requisite qualifications, the mode of managing the affairs of the finances, and all which may effectually and promptly contribute to the re organisation of that important branch of 'the public service. " Art. 3. The institution of the provincial councils is confirmed. The councillors shall be chosen by us from lists presented by the communal councils. The provin cial councillors shall discuss the local interests of the province, the expenses to be laid to its charge, and the accounts of receipts and expenses of the interior admi nistration ; that administration shall be directed by an administrative commission chosen by each provisional council, and for which it shall be responsible. Some of the members of the provincial council shall be chosen to form part cf the council of the chief town of the pro vince, to assist in the functions which fall on the munici palities. A special law shall determine the mode of pre sentation, the qualifications and the number of the coun cillors for each province, their duties, and the relations which are to exist between the provincial administrations and the great interests of the state, and the limit to which the latter is to extend. " Art. 4. The representatives and the municipal ad ministratiors will enjoy the most extensive franchises as far as regaris the local interest of the communes. The election of the municipal councillors shall be based on a largo number of electors, principally having regard to property. Those elected, besides those qualifications which aro intrinsically necessary, must he iu the pay ment of a certain amount of taxes which shall be deter mined by a law. The chiefs of communes shall be named by us, and their deputies by the governors of the province from a triple list presented by the communal council. A special law shall determine the qualifica tions and the number of the communal councillors, the mode of election, the number of members of the mu nicipal administration, and shall regulate the duties thereof, making them consistent with interests of the province. " Art. 5. The reforms and ameliorations shall also extend themselves to judicial. order, as well as to the civil, criminal, and administrative legislation. A com mission shall be named to occupy themselves with this important object. "Art. 6. Finally, being always led by the inclination of our paternal heart towards indulgence and pardon, we wish on this occasion to perform an act of clemency towards the misguided men who were impelled to felony and ,to revolt by the seductions, the incertitude, and per haps by the inertness of others. We must have, present to our mind in this circumstance what is walled: for by justice, by the rights.of others oppressed•or destroyed, by the duty which is incumbent on us.to protect yol against the return of the, misfortunes. which have eve:re whelmed you, by the obligation to resoles you itiom the pernicious influences of the cornuptera of all morally, and (Tom the en em i es o f th e C a th o li c re li g i ose , th a t e t erna l source of all happiness, of all social prosperity,_ which has caused your glory, and. . which distinguishes you as an elect family of God, and favoured with his especial gifts, With these feelings we will that there shall be published in our name an amnesty, for the penalties incurred by all those who, within limits which shall be determined, shall not be ex cluded from this benefit. Such are the dispositions which, for your welfare, we have thought it our duty to publish b e f ore God. At the same time that they aro compatible with the duties of our Apostolic functions, we have the firm conviction that they may, if faithfully executed, produce the happy result which is desired by enlightened and honest men. I have for guarantee the just sentiment of each of you, whose heart sighs for happiness in proportion to the trials undergone. But, ;shove all things, let us put our confidence in God, who, even in the midst of a just anger, never forgets his mercy. " Done at Naples, in the Faubourg of Portici, the 12th September, 1849, and in the fourth year of our Pon tificate. "Pius P.P. IX." With the moth proprio of his HOLINESS has been published the following notification " GOVERNMENT COMMISSION. " His Holiness our Lord the Pope, having regard to the circumstances which extenuate in a certain number of his well beloved subjects the culpability of their par ticipation in the political troubles which have recently afflicted the Pontifical States; desiring to show more and more the truly paternal kindness •of his heart, and using his full power in favour of misguided men, rather seduced than seducers, has ordered us to make known, in his august name, what he has deigned to decree in con sequence of Art. VI. of his sovereign motes proprio of the 12th of this month. We, therefore, in conformity to the venerable command of his Holiness, hasten to publish the following dispositions, according to the terms of the sovereigh idea expressed to us:—To those who have taken part in the last revolution in the Pontifical States is granted the pardon of the penalty to which they will be liable for the political offences for which they shall be responsible. The members of the Pro visional Government, the members of the Consti tuent Assembly who have taken part in the delibera tions of that assembly, the members of the Triumvirate, and of the Government of the Republic, the chiefs of the military corps, all those who, having already . on a former occasion enjoyed the benefit o f th e amnesty granted by , his Holiness, have forfeited their w or d o f honour to Joining in the late political inovementa ; in MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. • CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 7,000 bales, with a heavy market. Speculators have taken 1,000 American, and exporters 500. Prices of American vvera maintained. Brazil kd. lower, and other sorts without alteration. 5,000 American realised 4p. to 60.; 200 Pernam and Maranham, Sid. to 6d.; and 1,500 Surat, 4d. to 4d. per lb.-Railway Shares have generally advanced, and the market closed firm. The Corn market has been very dull, and the supplies of Foreign continue to press upon prices. The business done this week in Colonial produce has been to a fair extent, but sugar has ruled rather lower. An inquiry appears to be springing up for rice on speculation, and brandy is still in favour. Coffee has ruled lower, and dye goods have had a fair sale. According to the following the British have resolved to deal decidedly with the Venezuelan Government,. in relation to the law putting off the payment of debts eight or nine years:- " British Consulate General, Caracas, July 28, 1849. " Sir,-I have the honour to state to you, for the in formation of all British subjects residing within your consular district, that her Majesty's Govern ment, having had under their consideration the Venezuelan law of 9th of April last, for enabling debtors to obtain from their creditors a period of from six to nine years for the payment of their debts, have resolved not to permit a law so inconsistent with the spirit of the treaty between Great Britain and Vene zuela, and so much at variance with the fundaments' principles of international intercourse, to be applied; either retrospectively or prospectively, to transactions in which British subject!' are concerned, and that her Ma jesty's subjects have therefore deemed it their duty for mally to declare to the Government of Venezuela that the state of Venezuela will be required, by Great Bri tain, to make good to British subjects all losses and damages which they may at any time sustain by reason of the operation of so unjust and unprincipled a law. ' J. ItriaDis.." The Ilamburgh mail has arrived withe±uesday's iavices. The rate"of Exchange on London had again risen, having touched 13 104, and sold was , at 4371. Money was easy. 'From St. Petersburgb, under date of the 19th inst., we learn that the arrival of more ships had givengreater activity to the export trade. The Amsterdam Bourse on Wednesday was still inactive. The Dutch ,Two-and-a• Half per Cents. , were quoted 531. At Frankfort, on the 25th instant, the quotation for Austrian Bonds was 894. The letter of Mr. Cobden, as we stated yesterday, is exciting a good deal of controversy, and the Times' assertion that the Hon. Gentleman is seeking to destroy free trade in money, has been laid hold of by those who take assertion for fact, and are glad of any palliative. Assuredly capitalists may do as they please, but the public should be cautioned and instructed. Foreign loans have proved a source of loss to this country, however interested parties may seek to prove to the contrary, but it is not the contractors, or even the original sub scribers, who ordinarily suffer, but the humbler indivi duals who subsequently become holders in the hope of obtaining a higher rate of interest. As to the principle of lending money to such powers as Austria, or to any other despotic countries which crush their own people, and distress ours by maintaining enormous belli gerent establishments, none but absolutists can defend it, and the only ground of justification we can see for the private participation of some few English capitalists, is the stake they may already have in the securities of foreign countries, and their desire conse quently to support their credit. Mr. Cobden and his party have no intention, we feel perfectly satisfied, to interfere with any such individual subscriptions, but it is obvious that these were not alone what was to be dreaded, for an appeal by lengthy advertisements has been made to the public at large. The English Funds opened well this morning, but upon the Paris news of the Pope's promised concessions, which are deemed very meagre, have gone back a little. Consols have been 92i to 93* for Transfer, and aro now 92a to 921. Time bargains have been effected at 92k to 93* 4, and the price now is 924 k. Exchequer bills are 375. to 405.; and India Bonds 735. premium. The fortnight's settlement in the Foreign market oc cupies exclusive attention. Mexican are dull at 27* 4.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN - EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast wise, has been confined to 2,730 quarters. By land carriage and sample, the receipts have been but mode rate. To-day the stands were by no means well sup plied; yet, owing to the continuous importations from abroad, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of honie pro duce was in a very inactive state, and, in some instances, rather less money was accepted for the inferior qualities. From abroad we have received 10,750 quarters of Wheat. That article commanded very little attention, and large purchases might have been effected at is per quarter decline. In floating cargoes ►ery few sales took place. Wo were scantily supplied with English Barley, but the supply of Foreign was good. Grinding and Malting eamples were steady, but distilling sorts ruled dull. The show of Malt was trifling. That article moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. The best sound Oats moved off steadily, all other kinds heavily at late rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were very dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Oats. Malt. i Flour. Barley. Qrs. Qra.
