But here, as has been well pointed out by the Morning Post, our production for export purposes is more than seventy times as much per square mile as that of itussia, while the demands for internal consumption are iu a still higher ratio. What, then, can be the prospects for handsome dividends, apart from the Govern ment guarantee? That is 5 per cent. for a limited time—the whole property at the end of 85 years reverting to the State ; and French and English clpitalists are nibbling at tie artfully-constructed bait, although they may obtain nearly as large a lividend in English trunk lines, which aro held n perpotuiLy for the benefit of the shareholders. heard the dreadful tale as it has been told by the historic pen of Mr. RUSSELL, of the Times, and as it has been since then sung by the earnest voice of the Laureate TENNYSON ? Lord CARDIGAN, as Major-General iu com mand of the Light Brigade, leading officers and men into the Russian Battery, leading them beyond it, until "the belted Earl" came suddenly with his followers upon a large force of Russian cavalry, and being in person attacked simultaneously by two Cossacks, was there and then slightly wounded and nearly dis mounted. After which, the remnant of the glo rious Light Brigade, the few survivors of that valiant band (Lord CARDIGAN among them) re traced their terrible path, littered by the dead and the dying, horse and man, and ploughed up by the balls of the Russian artillery, returning at a blown and jaded gallop along that disastrous Valley of Balaklava. Yet it is the man who actually led this charge, who was wounded in it, who passed through the whole of its dread perils, and who, in so doing, looked at death face to face for " what you will," for honour, for glory, for his QuEE - N or his coun try, for a soldier's obedience, cif, what SIIAKS • PERK has called with such magnificent scorn, the bubble reputation—he it is who, ever since he set foot again upon the soil of his native land, has been the chosen target for every species of base innuendo in the way of paltry and despicable sneers of depreciation. Lord CARDIGAN, it has been insinuated, rode fast ! Lord CARDIGAN never leaped his horse across a gun carriage I Lord CAR DIGAN did this, and did not do that, and thus with every spiteful comment and malicious insinuation his name has been coupled with " the whispered hint, the shrug, the hum ! the ha ! those petty brands that calumny cloth use." The fact being all the while that Lord CARDIGAN " wont through" the Light Cavalry Charge—that ho was wounded in it—and that having passed through its glory and its dangers, he has earned, like every other man in the Brigade, dead or ' living, from the Private upwards, from the General down wards, the glorious fame (deserved by each on that day, if ever man deserved it) of a Hero ! Honour to the brave Earl, then, say we—honour to the gallant Soldier who led the Light Brigade to Glory and Death down that fatal Valley of Destruction. We, Ultra-Liberals, Radical Re formers, veritable Democrats, if you will, pay this unstinted meed of our admiration to the Valour of a Dauntless Gentleman—what though he be, as JAMES BRUDENELL, Earl of Cardigan, has long been (we might almost say notoriously) an exaggerated Tory of the old school—a Tory pur sang, a Tory of the blue blood, and if any one peer of the realm may be so designated, the haughtiest of haughty aristocrats. But—sneers some malignant whisperer again-- Lord CARDIGAN, since his return to England, has gone to public dinners in the very uniform he wore during the Light Cavalry Charge at Ba laklava ! And has he not earned the right t wear it— But it is not merely the construction of the railways in Russia, and the immense increase of power thereby conferred on the AUTOCRAT that is the worst phase of the transaction. There will be a permanent drain of specie for many years to come, and when we consider the present state of the money market and the impending monetary crisis, we may, as the Americans say, begin faintly to "realise" the full extent of the mischief. The CZAR is well aware that he is aiming a blow at England in the tenderest point. There is already a rapid drain of bullion. Notwithstanding the discoveries in Australia and California, and the immense produce of "the diggings," we cannot hold our own. The precious metals are exported more rapidly than they can be obtained. There is already a perceptible alteration in the relative values of gold and silver, and the smaller coinage, so vitally important to the working, is becoming more scanty every day. While France and England are thus paying the piper, Russia is accumulating vast quantities of bullion, which she is far too sagacious to employ in her own do mestic affairs. The foreign shareholders provide the funds in specie. The Russian labourers who are to do the work will be paid in paper roubles, the gold and silver being accumulated in the Treasury. Austria also is hoarding up for a mo netary crisis. But while we see and feel the evil —while we can without any pretext of vaticina tion predict the various changes of the cycle from a tightness in the money market and raising the rate of interest, to the reckless panic that must inevitablyoccur if means be to not taken to avert it, we are rendered powerless to avert it by the pro- visions of the Bank Charter Act of 1844. long as the fixed price of gold is maintained, that we are compelled to sell in the cheapest, and pur chase in the dearest market, there can be no help for us. We must see the vessel of the State drift ing on the rocks without the chance of averting the catastrophe. With a paper currency expanding according to the wants of the country, we might check the exportation without sacri ficing the welfare and happiness of our own people. Under the present system we can do nothing, but must submit to see the Ozer. and RED EMPEROR making everything ready for another desperate attempt to Cossackise Europe, while we shall be fettered and rendered helpless by our insane adherence to the bullionist theories, the interested doctrines of the "Mercator" school of cu rrency. " Tarnished, too, and dim, As if hot battle's cloud had lately circled him," —if lie so pleases, has he not earned the right to wear it as well as any other heroic soldier has earned the right is wear a star at his breast or a ribbon in his button hole ? Away with all this miserable rubbish, the rubbish of envious malignity— The Right Honourable JAMES THOMAS BRIIDE NELL, 7th Earl of Cardigan, Inspector-General of Cavalry, may, after all, be no great strategist, may not have the smallest modicum of what is called Genius for War, may be in no respect at all the malice that mutters and the envy that shrugs its shoulders. Lord CARDIGAN may be—not much of a Commander ! He may havo slept on board his yacht while other men were shivering through the night hours in the Crimean encampment. He may have been most culpable in sacrificing the horses of his Brigade in the Dobrudscha and before Sebastopol. He may be guilty of all thi, and of much more—but still, when all is said and done, he has incontestably won for himself the glory due to a brave and unblenching Soldier. outitled to credit as a tactician. BUT—without :tiny manner of doubt, and beyond the possibility question, his heart is that of as brave, and gallant, and daring a gentleman as ever wore upon his heel the golden spur of knighthood. In demonstration of which it is only necessary to remember—what some people really appear never to have heard of—that Lord CARDIGAN " went through" the terrible and glorious Light Cavalry Charge at Balaklava. A deed of daring absolutely and literally without any parallel. A miserable blunder on the part of the Coin rnander in-Chief ; but a matchless and heroic achievement ,n the part of those by whom Lord RAGLAN'S Order was carried into execution. An achievement so astonishing from its te merity, that Marshal BOSQUET, looking down upon it from the hill top, exclaimed in very amaze, an amazement at once of scorn and admi ration "C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre " Yes, but at the same time reversing that most truthful definition of it—lf it Was not war, it was magnificent !

DEATH or LORD DE FREYNE.—The Death of this nobleman, long known in the House of Commons as Mr. Arthur French, of French Park, Roscommon, is re ported. DEATH OF COLONEL SHEWELL, C.B.—We regret to have to announce the death of Colonel Frederick George Showell, C. 8., of the Bth Hussars, which took place on Wednesday, near Guildford. Colonel Shewell had been 30 years in the service, commanded the Bth Hussars at the famous Balaklava chart,e, where he brought a por tion of the brigade out of acti in, and subsequently held the rank of Brigadier-General in• the Crimea, for which he was made a C. 8., and awarded a pension for distin guishel services. Colonel Shewell was in every sense of the word a good officer, and was high in the esteem of all who knew him. He was 47 years of age. THE HEALTH OF LORD EBRINGTON.—At the annual meeting of the West Buckland Agricultural Association, held on Wednesday, Earl Fortescue stated that Lard Ebrington had been positieely forbidden by his medical aelvisere to attend any candlelight meeting, and he was also obliged to abstein from reading and writing ; and, to prevent the possibility of his transacting any business, he had been advised to withdraw himself from England for the next six months.

THE MAILS.—The British and North American steamer Persia, Judkiris commander, took her departure for New York on Saturday with a large cargo of fine goods and 209 passengers. Yesterday the Donald M'Kay, belonging to the "Black Ball" line of Australian mail clippers, sailed for Melbourne with 500 passengers and 2,000 tons of cargo. THE NIams.—SOUTHAMPTON, Oct. 4.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Pera, Captain Soy, with the India, China, and Mediterranean mails, sailed this afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alex andria. She has on board 135 first, and 25 second class passengers, 778,7631. value in specie for India and Chine, 1,0001. for Alexandria, and a full general cargo. Among the passengers are General Lowe, Archdeacon Pratt, Hoe. Mrs. Campbell, Dr, Duff, General Tomkins, Corn mansler Mould, R.N., and Captains Mainwaring, Morgan, Walker, and Atkinson. The Madrid, Captain Brad shaw, will convey the Vigo; Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar mails on the 7th inst. The Sultan, Captain Cook, will be despatched on the 16th inst. as an extra ship to Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria, with passen gers and cargo. The Indus, Captain Brooks, with the next homeward India, China, and Mediterranean mails. is expected about Wednesday next. The United States' mailsteamer Hermann, Captain Higgins, will sail from this p , rt for Now York next Wednesday with the Ger man, French, and English mails, passengers, and cargo. SOUTHAMPTON, October s.—The screw steamer [lam bi]. go, Cspt. Logier, from the Spanish ports, arrived this afternoon, with 19 passengers and a large cargo, cen sisting principally of dried fruits and wine. Among the passengers are 17 4 shipwrecked sailors from Malaga. The dates by the Hamburg° are—Barcelona, Sept. 14 ; Va lencia, 15 ; Alicante,t6 ; Malaga, 18 ; Cadiz, 23 ; Corunna, 26 ; and Santander, Oct. 3. During the voyage the ve , sel experienced generally fair weather. After dis charging her cargo, &c., for England, the Hambur so will leave for Hamburg. The steamer Barcelona, be longing to the same line, reached Santander, from Seuthampten, on the morning of the Ist inst. GRAVESEND STAR STEAM PACKET COMPANY.—The final annual meetirtg, of this once flourishing company was held on Friday last, et the Clarendon Hotel, Graves end ; Chas. Becket, Es'q,, the chairman of the directors, presiding. It appeared from the report presented that, during the past yen-, the directors bad been actively en gagcd in realising the assets of the company, and dis , po,ing of the stock, in which they had succeeded, though at a great saarifica upon original cost. Upon the whole the directors recommended the payment of a dividend of 94 per Si. share, and that the company be forthwith dissolved.—Mr. Marriott complained that the directors 112.1 sold the boats at a great sacrifice, and advocated the necessity of appointing a committee of shareholders to examine most rninueely into the affairs of the com pany.--Mr. Dobson, the secretary of the company, in reply, stated that a few gentlemen had offered to pur chase some of the boats, with the intention of getting up \ , another company. The directors, however, had refuseu to accept the prices offered, arid had since obtained I better terms. One of the boats for which these gentle men offered 1,0001. was sold for 1,5001. After some discussion, a resolution to dissolve the company was unanimously adopted. On Saturday we pointed out the ingenious scheme by which the CZAR expects to obtain a well-arranged steam fleet in the Euxiae ; and what renders the project still more alluring, at the expenee of his late opponents. By offering subsidies to the amount of between 400,0001. and 5 00,000/. per annum, he hopes that the capitalists of France and England may he induced to take shares in a variety of Steam Navigation Companies in the Black Sea—the single rendition being that all the vessels engaged should be so constructed as to be capabl e of carrying guns ; or, in other words, they should be vessels of war without the arma ments, which could, however, lo added on short notice whenev-r it suited the AUTOCRIT to cast aside the mask, and to press into his own servic the navy so considerately provided for him by the enemy. It is true that few if any of these corn panies could hope to pay the mere working ex penses, to say nothing of a dividend on the capital embarked. But the liberal CZAR provides for alt that. lie offers a subsidy of nearly half a million per annum-25 per cent, on the two mil lions required —so that the pecuniary interests of the shareholders will be secured, so far as they can be by a Muscovite guarantee. A. judiciously contrived excitement, which, by various contriv ances well known in the City, has run the quota tions up to 10 premium ; and the object of the AUTOCRAT may be regarded as accomplished, for no amount of Capel court protection could resist so tempting a prize. Cavalry Charge, in its glory and in its perils, the Earl of CARDIGAN personally participated, participated as fully as any one among the rest of the immortal Six Hundred. He not merely took a part in it, but a very conspicuous ?art in it. He led it. He rode his horse— 'ike the rest of them—at a trot, at a canter, at a ;allop, through that "hell fire" of flame and :Ails, right through the serried ranks of the oattled army of the Russians, infantry, cavalry, trill artillery, striking down the gunners beside heir cannon, and clearing a deadly path out to the open ground in the rear of the enemy— md so, more than decimated, returning "hrough the same diabolical storm of shot, back through the Valley of 1/2ath, to the fatal point of departure. And throughout the whole of this appalling feat of arms, Lard CARDIGAN led the Brigade, to and fro, across that long Mile of De struction, stretching down to the Russian battery in that awful, and thenceforth evecinenaorabba Valley of Balaklava. During the double. passage along which fatal mile of ground—mark what were the deadly effects wrought upon the Bri gade by the Russian cannon and musketry !

Captain WINTER and Captain WHITE (both of the 17th Lancers) were struck to the earth a few seconds earlier, the former killed, the latter severely wounded. Captain GOOD and Captain JENYNS (both of the 13th Light Dragoons) were about the same time nu horsed, theformer dead, the latter maimed.

Baron Martini arrived here on the 29th. The King returned the following clay to Gaeta. There had been a council of Ministers. It is affirmed that a Ministry with General Filangieri at its head will be formed, as he is con sidered acceptable to France. All, however, is agitation and uncertainty here. It was reported by the Royalist party that the King of Naples is supported by Russia, Austria, and Prussia. VIENNA, OCT. 4. Baron de Hubner arrived yesterday evening, and this morning had a conference with Count Buol. Naples perists in its refusal. The resig nation of Prince Petrulla has been accepted.

The divisions of Generals Renault and Yusuf have had a brilliant engagement with the insurgent Kablyes, in which the loss of the latter was very considerable. The majority . of Commissioners for the Danubian Principalities have refused to discuss the proposed questions until the Austrian troops evacuate, and autil the Sultan decrees the meeting of the Divans on such terms as are embodied in the protocols of the Peace of Paris. The English fleet was, awaiting in the 130E phorus its orders to depart. The Sultan had been invested with the Order of the Garter. The political embarrass ments of the Porte were increasing. Lord Stratford de ftedcliffe's influ ence prevailed one day, and that of M. de Thou venel the next, till it was superseded by that of M. von Prokesch. M. de Thouvenel was dissa tisfied with the turn which had been given to the question of the navigation of the Danube in the Magnan case, and- insisted on the observance of The 211 - oniteur contains a list of subscriptions, received from Huddersfield, Yorkshire, for the in undation fund. It amounts to 11,820 fr. 50 c. The total, amount received has now reached the sum of 11,291,80 . 4 fr. 33 c. The Freuch squadron is at Toulon expecting orders every day to sail for Naples. The vessels are—La Bretagne and TAlgesiras, with the steam frigates Isly-, Duchayla, l'Ulm, and Napoleon. The following letter appears in the Constitu tionnel the privileges which were alleged to have been' disregarded. On the . other hand it is beyond doubt that an Austrian circular has been privately issued which prohibits the Austrian officials to give any relief or assistance to either Turkish or French vessels navigating . the Danube. The truce between Turkey and Montenegro is to expire on the 12tIL inst. In spite of the pacific assurances of Prinice Danilo, three attacks have been made by thel Montenegrins on the Turkish position near Spug. An Austrian Colonel has repaired to Cettinge to keep the Prince quiet by persuasion if he can. M. de Talleyrand and Sir Henry Bulwer have returned from Broussa. Letters from the Black Sea describe a tre mendous storm at Varna, and they also state that several casualties have occurred in the Sea of Azoff, by vessels running upon the sunken ships there. BERLIN, OCT. 4. The Archduke Albert met with an accident yes terday at the camp at Biramberg. His carriage was upset, and the Prince received some slight contusions. General Count de Leiningen died the day before yesterday at Cracow. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 4. "GENOA, Sept. 30.—Sardinia claims the right of joining in the ,naval demonstration intended against Naples. The Ministerial crisis is at an end. The Cabinet is reconstituted as follows :—M. Andrea, .Presi dent of the Council and Foreign Secretary ; M. Fenger, Finance Department ; M. Scheele (Mi nister for the German Duchies) and the other members of the late Cabinet, with the exception of M. Bang, retain their portfolios. " With regard to Austria here fleet is alr3ady sailing for ithe Gulf of Naples ; and we conjecture that it oust now have arrived ftom Malta, where it touched lately according to the lisst accounts, under the order of Vice-Admiral Count de Bourguignon. The Austrian 'hips would then be the first at the rendezvous, for the French and English fleets have still orders to receive oefora aivancing to the capital of the Neapolitan States. " There are also some Piedmontese, and Piedmont is 4oing to send four of her frigates with the four ships and Four frigates of Great Britain and France. A letter dated Paris, Oct. 4, says A good many persons, some say 100, were arrested the night before last in the Rue Mouffotard and in other streets of the 12th arrondissement. The parties are charged with being implicated in the posting up by day, and particularly by night, pla cards of a very menacing character. These placards threaten death to the proprietors, demand "cheap bread or —," recommend the most summary measures against the owners of house property, and several of them used very disrespectful and even menacing expressions towards the Emperor himself. Such an g ry ebullitions of popular feeling, occurring at the moment when the work ing classes are called on to pay their rent, show the sort of relations which exist between them and, the proprietors. Those relations are the worst that can possiby be imagined. Political economists tell us that things find their level, and are of general benefit sooner or latter. They are, no doubt, right, but the classes I speak of have rather loose notions on political economy ; they only feel that they are ground down by high rents and as high taxation, and they are discontented. It may be true, as the Moniteur lately stated, that for every house . pulled down four or five new ones have been built ; but it is equally certain that those who occupied the old houses could no more become tenants of the new edifices which have arisen on their sites than they could take up their quarters in the moon. Rent has quadrupled within the last four years, and the condition of thousandS whose income has continued stationary must be deplorable. In the newly-constructed houses rent is enormously high ; in some of the principal streets it is not uncommon to find a second and even a third floor, unfurnished, let for 10,000 f. (400/0 which a few years "ago might be had for less than one-fourth. But it is not merely in new con structions that this increase is found. Houses which have hardly undergone any repair--which have been untouched by the brush of the painter or varnisher —have risen with the same rapidity, so that any thing like cheap or even moderate lodging is out of the question. People who invest capital in building do so unquestionably for profit, and they have a right to fix whateVer value they please on their property ; but it is undeniable that many house proprietors are most grasping and remorseless in their exactions. What with the high price. of pro visions of all kinds and enormous house-rent, it is difficult to understand how not merely the working classes, but also the small employes under Govern ment and clerks in commercial houses, can manage to live. At this conjuncture, so critical to so great a portion of the public, I am assured that many families have been thrown upon the street. They know not where to go for shelter, for the new landlord will be -found as exacting as the one that ejects them. This hatred, just or unjust, against the proprietors, is intense and general, and if ever any disturbance takes place these, I fear, will pass a mauvais quart d'heure. I have seen the tran scripts of one of , the placards torn down by the police the night before last, with the words, " Tug ton proprietaire ; je tueraile mien !—Mort aux proprietaircs ;" and some other specimens of the same kind. The Moniictir publishes two decrees—one ex tending to the .31st December, 1857, the delay ixed by the decree of the 19th September, 1855, for the modifications in the Customs tariff in the colonies of Martinique, Guadeloupe, Ile de la Re union, and Senegal, as far as regards corn, flour, and pulse ; and the other adding copper, either pure or m'xed, with zinc, and sheet z;nc, for the use of ships' bottoms, to the list of articles admitted free of duty when intended for naval constructions. BOURSE, Oct. 4. The following were the last quotations : MADRID, OCT. 3, The Government of O'Donnell is showing the greatest energy in the Mexican affair. The Qneen has declared the cbilslof the Ditchers of Montpenitier to be Infanta of Spain. • A decree for the free cultivation of tobacco in the Philippine Islands is gazetted. To-morrow, the 4th, is the King's name-day, en which occasion there w.;11 be a reception and kissing of hands. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " A Council Ministers has been held this day at St. Cloud, under the presidence of the Emperor. The affairs of Italy, and particu larly of Naples, were again under deliberation. What resolution has been come to, if any, we have not yet means of knowing. It is cer tain, however, that the question has now ac quired the grc .test importance and causes much anxiety. Recent and trustworthy accounts describe the condition of Italy at this moment as most critical, and the greatest fermentation extends from Cape Spartivento to the States of Tuscany. I doubt whether the unhappy Sovereign, whose cruelty and obstinacy are the cause of all, win make any concessions worth speaking of, and I do not lc-,rn that the hopes expressed for the last few days are likely to be realised. There are rumours of an approaching modification of the Neapolitan Ministry in a liberal sense. I am unable to say whether these rumours are entitled to credit, but I believe this Govern ment would bo very glad if they were. " The Epoca, of the 30th of September, men tions that the Emperor of the French intends, one of these days, to visit St. Jean de Luz, in order to examine the situations and condition of its fine harbour.

It does not require much intelligence to understand that a military and fortified port at St. Jean de Luz is just the thing that France wants, and ever has wanted, to command the whole Calabrian coast. With a steam fleet there, and with the stores, arsenals, and appurtenances of a maritime establishment of war, the Basque pro vinces are at the mercy of France, though the numerous little ports along them aro, compara tively speaking, without defence. The Vienna Presse, of Oct. 1, has a leader on the Russian Circular, whic'h contains passagn well worthy of noti ce . After a passing allusion to the " prond s3lf-confidence" which pervades the Russian Circular, the Vienna journalist thus speaks of the present attitude of Russia : " The assurance that Russia is not brit collecting herself, is most satisfactory. Le,t her collect the whole force of the nation, though not as heretofore to direct it against her neigh bours, but in order to derive every possible ad vantage from the natural resources of the coun try, to develop its industry, to civilise its inhabi tant:), to emancipate its serfs, and to create a re spectable middle class. Let her do this, and the whole of Europe will hail in Alexander 11. a second Poter—A regenerator of the gigantic em pire over which he has been called by Providence to rule." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. Last night an attache of the British Embassy left Paris, with despatches for London. A Cabinet Council was held on Friday, when the Neapolitan question was discussed ; and again yesterday some further decisions were arrived at. The despatches therefore which left Paris last evening report the result of those Cabinet deliberations. On Friday the Neapolitan Ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries had a private interview with the Emperor before his Majesty's Ministers left ; and on the same day Admiral Trehouart, who commands the fleet at Toulon, also had an interview with the Emperor. M. Brunow frequently visits the French Foreign-office, and a second note or pro test on the Neapolitan question is said to have been read to M. Walevvski within the last week. Austria 48 menat?rs (33 Government Republicans end 15 Independent Republicans) against 32, 25 belong ing to the Royalist faction and seven to the Independent petty; The, Grand Council has like wise pronounced the definite suspensioh of the Ad. ministrative Councils of two other distiicts, which had joined in the insurrection. It, moreover, de cided that an inquiry should be instituted into the cone let of the officers, who, although holding their commissions from the Republic,had made no exertion to re-establish order and restore the legal rule in their respective localities. Finally, it decreed the distribution among several important localities of the canton of the war materiel of which the capital had bon) hitherto in possession. The number of pri soners confined at Neuchatel for having te ken part in the Royalist insurrection is reduced to 32. Amont , them are four Protestant ministers. Many have been liberated on bail or on parole." PORTUGAL. LISBON, SEPT. 29. _ _ orriis tereeted. It s ill be my imperative duty to see that these sugg,atiens are carried into effect. In my offi cial action here I wilt do justice at all hazards. Influence by no other considei ation than the welfare of the whole people of this territory, I desire to know no party, no section, no North, no South, no East, no West—nothing but Kanstli and my country. Fully conscious of my great rci.ponsibility in the present coudition of affairs in Kansas, I must invoke your aid and solicit your gener ous forbearance. Your executive officer can do little without the aid of the people. With a firm reliance upon Uivine Providence, to the best of my ability I shall pro mote the interests of the citizens of the territory, not merely collectively, but individually ; and I shall expect from them in return that cordial aid and support without which the government of no State or territory can be administered. Let us all begin slew. Let the past l I buried in oblivion. Let all strife and bitterness cease. Let us all honestly devote our3elves to the true interests of Kansas—develope her rich eilricultural and mineral resources—build up manufactui:ng enterprises—make public ror is end highways—prepare amply for the c lo cation of our children—devote ourselves to all the rrt, of peace—and make our territory the sanctuary of those cherished principles which protect the inalienable rights of the indiVidual, end elevate states in their severing.) capacities. • " Then shall peaceful industry soon be rcitored— population and wealth will flow upon us the desert will blossom as the rose'—and the State of Kansas will. • soon be admitted into the Union, the peer and pride of her elder sisters. " JOEN W. GEARY." The government has directed its financial agent in London to apply to an eminent English house; and -in its default to another with the object of in viting offers for the, projected loan. It is said that the high price of-Portuguese bonds leaves too little margin to tempt speculation in this country, for it is obvious that the government will found their calculations upon the current value of the Three per Cant. Stock. Signor Corradi, Spanish minister at this court, formerly editor of the Clamor Publico, has been decorated by the King with the order of Christ. It is understood that this gentleman, being altogether opposed to O'Donnell's policy, asked for his recall after the coup d'etat, and that he will shortly be superseded—some say by Pastor Diaz. Such a mark of favour to a minister whose political views are so well known may show with some significance the bent of the royal mind upon Spanish affairs, for there is no question that Dom Pedro V., young though he be, has conceived some very decided opinions on the subject of stars and crosses, and sees little use in idly disposing of them, a fact which he proved on more than one occasion to the late ministers. Apropos of this, during the Sal danha administration an agent applied for a title on the part of a wealthy Portuguese, resident abroad, who had deputed him to open the official doors with that key which had never failed before ; but on calling to learn the result, he was told by the minister that had the application been made during the Regent's rule there would have been no difficulty, but that things had altered, and, in short, the young King did not wish it. By a notice of the Board of Health, promulgated on the 27th inst., the city is declared free of cho lera, and clean bills are now given to all vessels leaving the port. There is some doubt if the Span ish consul will yet pass clean bills of health to ves sels bound to that country, or even if he does, it is probable the Spanish authorities will continue the quarantine on the vessel's arrival, and it will not be surprising if the British packets are still hampered by sanitary regulations. In foreign exchanges, with the exception of Lon don, which has falln / this packet, no material alteration has occurred. Paper continues very scarce on all places, and in some demand. The following are the quotations for this mail :—Lon don, thirty days, 53 ; ninety days, 54. Paris, one hundred days, 530. AMERICA! The new Governor has issued a proclamation disband ing the volunteer militia, which has attempted to enforce the territorial laws under the directions of his precTeess• sor, and commanding all ths Fr silte men to disband aVonce or quit the terr;to)y, and commanding all male citizens between 18 and 45 to or 6 4niss at once into a militia and to bold themselves in readiness to be sum mon-1 into the service of the United States, The Old Line Whig State Convention had ad journed after norn;uating Mr. Fillmore.

Mr. George Peabody had declined the public . . dinners tendered +r him by New York, Philadel phia, Boston, end other citie3, in consequence of tis efforts to promote international good feeling between Great Brita;n and the United States. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING. The Arabia arrived here at noon tc day. She sailed from Boston on the 24th, and from Halifax on the 25th of September. She brought 61 pas sengers, $777,899 in specie, and four days' later news. The political news is of little importance. Both parties were canvassing Pennsylvania vigorously. The new GoVernor of Kansas has issued the fol lowing address and proclamatian on entering upon the duties of his office : " Fellow-citizens,—l appear among you a stranger to most of. you, and for the first time I have the honour to address you 29 the Governor of the territory of Kansas. The position was not sought by me, but was voluntarily tenderc I by the preterit chief magistrate of the nation. As an American citizen, deeply conscious of the blessings which ever flow from our beloved Union, I did not consider myself at liberty to shrink from any duties, however delis -..te and onerous, required of me by my country. With a full knowledge of all the circum stances surrounding the executive office, I have delibe rately accepted it, and, P 9 God may give me strength and ability, I will endeavour faithfully to di charge its varied requiremente. When I recsived my commission I was solemnly sworn to support the constitution of the United States and to discharge my duties as Governor of Kansas with fide'ity. By referen , :a to the act for the or ganisation of this territory, p. used by Congress on the 30th day of March, 1854, I find my duthl more par ticularly defined. Among other things, lam to teke care that the laws be faithfully executed.' The constitu tion of the United States and the organic law of this territory will be the lights by which I will be guided in my executive career. A careful and diepassionete ex amination of our organic act will satisfy rny reesonable person that its provisions are e'ninently just and benefi• cial. If this act has been distorted to unworthy pur poses it is not the fault of its pro The great lead ing feature of that act ;stile righttherein conferred upcn the actual and bona fide inhabitant, of this territory in the exerc'se of self-government to determine for them selves what shall be their own domestic institutions, sub ject only to the constitution and the laws duly enacted by congress under it.' The people accustomed to self government in the States whence they came, and having removed to this territory with the bona fide intention of making it their future residence, were supposel to be capable of creating their own municipal government and to be the best judges of their own loc.:l necessities and in stitutions. Tuis is what is termed 'popular sovereignty.' By this phrase we simply mean the right of the majority of the people of the several States and territei.es, being qualified electors, to regulate their own domestic concerns and make their own municipal laws. Thus under stood, this doctrine underlies the whole system of repute lican government. It is the great right of self-govern ment, for the establishment of which our ancestor; in the stormy days of the revolution pletleed 'their liv , their fortunes, and their sacred honour.' A doctrine so emi- Pently jest should receive the willing- homage of every American citizen. When legitimately expressed and duly ascertained, the will of the majority must be the imperative rule of civil action for every law-abiding cirizen. This simple, just rule of action has brought order out of chaos, and by a progress unparalleled in the history of the world has made a few feeble infant colo nies a giant confederated republic. No man conversant with the state of affairs now in Kansas can close his eyes to the fact that much Civil disturbance bee for a long time past existed in this territory. Verious reasons have been assigned for this unfortunate corrlitica of affaite, end numerous remedies have I :en proposed. The House of Representatives of the United Slater hitee ignored the claims of both gentlemen clehning the legal right to represent the people of this territory in that body. The Topeka constitution, recognised by. th e House, has been repudiated by the Senate. Various measures, each in the opinion of its respective advocates suggestive of peace to Kansas, have been alternately pr e . posed and rejected. Men outside of the territory, in various sections of the Union, influenced by reasons best known to themselves, ' have endeavoured to stir up in ternal strife and to array .brother againct brother. In this conflict of opinion,. and. for the promotion of the most unworthy. purposes, Kansas is left to suffer, her people to mourn, and her prosperity is endangered. Is there no remedy for these evils ? Cannot the wounds of Kansas be healed, and peace be restored to all her bor. tiers Men of the North, men of the South, of the Beet, and of the West, in Kansas, you, and you alone, have the remedy in your own hands. Will you nut suspend fratricidal strife ? Will you not cease to re gard each other as enemies, and look upon one another as the children of a common mother, and come and reason together ? Let us banish all out side influences from our deliberations, and assemble around our council board with the constitution of the country and the organic law of the territory as the great charts for our guidance and direction. The bona fide inhabitants of this territory alone are charged with the solemn duty of enacting its laws, upholding the Go vernment' maintaining peace, and forming the founda tion for afuture commoeweelth. On this point let there be a perfect unity of sentiment. It is the first great step towards the attainment of peace. It will inspire confidence among ourselves and iasnre the respect of the whole country. Let us show ourselves worthy and re pable of self-government. Do not the inhabieante of this territory better understand what domestic institutions 'are suited to their condition, what laws will be toast conducive to their prosperity and happiness, than the citizens of distant or even neighbouring States ? This great right of regulating our own affairs and attending to our own business, without any interference front others, has been guaranteed to us by the law which C on . gross has made for the organisation of this territory. This right of self-government—thie privilege guaranteed to us by the organic la w of our territory, I will uphold with all my might, and with the entire power committed to me. In relation to any changes of the laws of the ter ritory which I may deem desirable I have no occasion now to speak ; but these are subjects to which I shall direct public attention at the proper time. The territory e of the United States is the common prop er t y o f the s vt; o - ral States, or of the people thereof. Thi s b e i ng so no obstacle should be interposed to the f ree settlemen't of absolute right righthis of territory, this common property, while in a territo r i a l con di tion. I snaking under their c h e erfully adroit that the the p e e Inthuenoiergipaanl laws, and have and from citizens who deem themselves aggrieved by recent legislation I would invoke the utmost forbearance, and point out to them a sure and peaceable remedy. You have the right to ask the next Legislature to revise any and all laws ; and in the meantime, as you value the Peace of the territory and the maintenance of future laws, I would earnestly ask you to refrain from all viehrtion of the present statutes. lam sure there is patriotism sufficient inthepeople of Kansas to lend a will ing obedience to the law. All the provisions of the con stitution of the United States must belen.eredly observed, all the acts of Congress having reference to this territory must be unhesitatingly obeyed, and the decisions of our AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna, in the Boersenhalle of Hamburg, says :—" A courier arrived here on the 27th ult. with despatches from Count Stackelberg, Russian Ambassador at Turin. It is said that he conveys to Baron de Budberg the intelligence that an interview has been ar ranged at Nice, during the residence there of the Empress Dowager of Russia, between the Em perors of Franco and Russia and the ling of Sardinia. It is not true that the Emperor of Austria has any intention of visiting Rome in his approaching excursion into Italy. He will not proceed farther than Milan. Another letter from the Austrian capital, in the Post Arnpt Gazette, says :—" The budget has been iTproved of by the Emperor. A considerable economy has been effected in the military department, but that of the navy has received an additional sum, in con sequence of its intended augmentation. Au in crease has likewise taken place in the Department o' the Minister o:: the Interior and in that of the Minister of Public Instruction." A third letter, in a Berlin journal, says :—" Since the return ben of the Emperor of Austria from Hungary, several councils of ministers have been held, at which the affair of Naplcs and the present state of the public funds were discussed." NAPLES. NAPI ES, Sept. 28.—The Neapolitan Goveia ment had sent, or was about to send, a Neapolitan_ volu minous despatch to the great Power, which was to be considered as a defence of the King and his Government. The late State trials had terminated ; most of the accused having been found guilty. Captain Acuti had retracted his assertions about the King having ordered the prisoners to receive so many lashes, by which means he he s, no doubt, saved himself from imptisonment. We find the language of the Neapolitan Govern ment thus shadowed forth in the Debats : "We beiieve that the wi ,ngs attributed to the King of Naples have been exaggerated, and that the number of political prisoners is far less numerous than has been stated. Two and even three thou - end untried prisoners have been mentioned ; but this appears improbable. It is not conceivable that so large a number, belonging almost exclusively to the superior classes of society, can have been separated with violence from their families and :placed in dungeons where they have been rotting for years. According to reliable inf.)r illation, it appears that the Neapolitan Government held in confinement less than 206 political offenders, and that, as soon as the protocol of the sitting of the Bth April hee-neknown in Naples, the King ordered more than half the prisoners to be released ; thus, when Austria made her first step, not above remained 100 in prison. Since that step, and the notes of France and England, the King has accorded other pardons, but with a secrecy which he believes calculated to preserve the tranquillity of the kingdom and his personal dignity." SWITZERLAND. The Independanee Beige publishes the following letter, dated Neuchatel, 29th ult.:—"Our Cantonal Grand Council adopted in its zwo last sittings various resolutions, referring to the Royalist insurrection of the 3d. The Administrative Council of the capital of the canton, which remained completely passive, during the nocturnal invasion of the baud of La Sagae, and obeyed with extraoidinaly conde scension the requisitions of the insurgents, has been not only :impended, but the ruweiful cor poration over which it presided, the bourgeoisie of Neuchatel, has been abolished as a political and ad ministrative body, to make room for the municipal authorities, at the same time that the considerable prof erty it possessed is to be applied to the wants of the citizens. The decree, erecting the city of Neuchatel into a municipality was voted by COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Flour has been dull, and pric-i declining since last dates.

Stocks are depressed, the recent rise having been succeeded by a decline. The following letter has also been received : NEW YORK, SEPT. 23. It seems to be pretty well conceded on all sides that Dame For:arne has turned the wheel far enough round to biinE, , the ft:ends of Fremont up- permost in Pennsylvania, so far rs the chances for the October election are concerned. The Reput • licans reason that it will be an indication of the Presidential vote in the following month ; that a decisive victory in October will not only insure a triumph, but a rout of the Administration in No vember; that the influence will extend to other States ; that the Fillmore party, who are strong enough in New York to be formidable even alone, and still more so if uniting with the friends of Buchanan, will be disorganised by the defeat of Buchanan's supporters in his own State ; and that in the doubtful States of the West ell doubting men, all waiting voters, will be sucked into the vortex of Republicanism. On the other hand, the Deirwerata reason that if the State of Pennsylvania is carried for the supporters of Mr. Fremont by aid of friends ;of Mr. Fillmore, the union. between the two will be dissolved by that election ; that when they separate and vote for their respective candidates for the Presidency the result will be different—Fremont's vote will be diminished below that of Buchanan, and the vote of the State thus given to the latter ; that the in fluence on the vo'.e of New York will not be such as the friends of Fremont anticipate ; that the friends of Fillmore in . New York being more friendly to Buchanan than to Fremont will vote for the latter if they see that his election is seriously imperilled, and that therefore an unfa vourable result to Buchanan iu October will insure a favourable issue in November. Another movement in our local politics also may have a decided effect upon the national result. This State is to elect its Governor ou the same day that it chooses electors for President. The Reput licans have no iinated Mr. King for the office, and tho New Yo.k Herald has liken exception to the nomination, and lends its influence and support (which is undeniably great) to the democratic nominee. The new Governor of Kansas has entered upon the duties of his office with an address full of peace ful professions and exhortations to the settlers to cease strife, to lay down the sword and resume the plough. But it recognises the Missouri Legisla ture, and points to that as the only means of relief. When it is remembered that one of the qualifica tions of an elector to vote upon the choice of mem bers of this Legislature is an oath to support the Kansas Nebr.? la Bill, the Fugitive Slave Law, p.id the acts of the territory, it is plain that the' Free State men have little to hope for beyond the right to get pcisession of such of t heir property es • has not been destroyed or carried away by the in vaders. Robinson and the other State Prisoners have been released on bail, and thus for the moment peace is restored in Kansas. Mr. Corwine, the commissioner sent to Panama to report upon the Mass?lre of the California pas sengers, concludes his report with a recommenda tion that possession be taken of the Isthmus. LOSS OF THE ROYAL WEST INDIA MAIL STEAMER TAY. A telegraphic despatch was posted late on Saturday at Lloyd's, announeog the lose da this splendid steam- ship, one of the fir 3t of the ROyal Mail (West Ind:a) Steam Packet Company. Toe intelligence was brought by the Arabia steamer , which arrivcd yesterday forenoon at Liverpool, 4 -UM ew York, ald from the account brought by her it appears that t'ie Tay was lost on the 30th of last August, on Lope.; Isllnds. Happily, all her passengers, crew, and mail were saved. The Tay was 1,858 tons registered, and had engines of 440-horse power. She is supposed to be insured. THE GREAT WROUGHT-IRON GUN.--We were enabled last week to announce that a series of trials were to be made on Wedn , aday, the let inst., at Shoeburyness, with the monster wrought-iron gun manufactured by the Mersey Steel and Iron Company. The experiments were conducted under the direction of Colonel Mitchell, i n the presence of the select committee of Artillery officers feom Woolwich. They were eminently suc cessful. The practice consisted of about 27 rounds with solid shot and heavy charges of powder, the range, with 18 degrees of elevation, and a charge of 501 b. of powder, exrJeding at first graze 5,000 yards. We have not yet had information r s to the range obtained in each round, but we believe all were exceedingly satisfac tory, bein g f ar super n r to anything ever obtained by the or di nary guns i n her Majesty's service. The line of fi re was a l s o most admirable, the shot fol lowing each other with surprising accuracy. M. r. W. J. Horsfall and Mr. W. Clay witnessed the experiments, as representi n g the Mersey Company. Since it was l as t tried a new and very beautiful carriage has been made for the gun, combining the recent excellent applia nce s introduced by the Woolwich authorities, and which ren dered the working of this immense weapon of destruc tion as easy as that of an ordinary 68-pounder. Some experiments were also made \vier various descriptions of rifled guns, including the celebrated weapon by Whitworth, of Manchester. On this occasion it seemed to answer admirably. We understand that the Mersey Company are now engaged in mak ing another wrought-iron gun, but of what size and for what destination we have not heard. This trial comes at an opportune moment, when the ques tion of introducing larger pieces of ordnance into our men ~f war has received much attention, owing to the presence in the South ampton waters o f th e A mer i can frigate Merrimac. Her guns, which are 11-inch bore, are of such a formidable character that it is believed her. oaa l i n ly the greater e t v e i r eit strength of a sire our most vaunted shi ps of war cou ld scarce l y cope w i th n ,j engagement would he withaa to keepvessel at a a distance which would prevent the risk of being boarded, while she would be able to direct a destructive fire against her opponent. Surely it is time for Govern ment to consider the necessity of keeping a-head of other nations in those matters which have made - her mistress of the seas. tb hal tb Stoi Von pric has 3 i ladl pe e Di COIIS, ES Di Brazi Dii Chili; Di , Russi Dii Dii Sardi Dii span Dll T trlti bit 11 ") it Dit Dutel Dit Ta Ch op Abbc Wed Rev.
