A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, received vester day, announces that the reinforcements expected at Vittoria have reached the army there. This news, brought by eye witnesses, is confirmed by the Spanish authorities. The sittings of the Procuradores now present much less interest than for some time past. In that of the 9th inst. the following motion, signed by the Count de las Navas and several other deputies, was read : " We call upon the Chamber to declare, by a third ar ticle of the Don Carlos Exclusion Bill, that if misfortune should will that the two most Serene daughters of Ferdi nand VII. and their descendants should become extinct, the Infante Don Francisco de Paula and his descendants shall succeed to the Crown." M. Martinez de la Rosa objected to the motion, as ori einating a new bill. The - Count de las Navas maintained that it was no new Bill, but an addition to the Bill already adopted. The motion was then put and negatived. The order of the day was the consideration of a petition relative to military recompenses, which was supported by Ministers, and after a brief discussion, and undergoing a slight modification, was adopted in the following terms : " The Procuradores are of opinion that it would be expe dient to reserve for the privates, corporals, sergeants, of ficers, and chiefs of the land and sea forces, a part of the civil and other employments ; they therefore pray ybur Majesty to be pleased to adopt to this effect a • general measure which may insure to the defenders of the throne and the country a reward proportioned to their merits." A petition, signed by Messrs, Gonzales, Trueba, and many other deputies, was then read, praying her Majesty to propose a Bill upon the most prompt organization pos sible of the municipalities, at the same time suspending the elections that are taking place at this moment. M. Martinez de la Rosa said that a bill on that subject would shortly be ready to lay before the Chamber. After a short discussion the_ Chamber decided that the petition should be postponed to the debate on the bill an nounced, and then be discussed at the same time. The Code of Procedure, the Civil Code, and the Penal Code, with the opinions of the three committees upon them, were read. The Chamber then adjourned. The Chamber did not meet on the 10th, in consequence of its being the day of the Queen's fete. In the sitting of the 11th, It was decided, on the motion of several deputies, that the provincial militia should be included in the petition on military rewards. The Count de Toreno brought up the budget, which was read and ordered to be printed. The Chamber then adjourned to Monday. Extract of a letter of the 13th inst. from Madrid : " The committee of the Proceres have adopted the Finance Bill as sent from the Proeuradores, with the following re serve :—` Although the committee proposes to the Cham ber to meet the urgent necessities of the Government, by immediately adopting, in order ,not to fetter its actual march, the bill, such as has been laid before it, without any addi tion or restriction, yet it has the intention to present to the Chamber the draft of a petition in favour of Guebhard's Loan, as well as the portion of the debts classed in the category of the passive debt.' The report of the committee will be laid before the Chamber to-day. It is said that in the report will be a demand for acknowledging the arrear. interest of the Cortes bonds, but this is merely report. M. Lionel Rothschild has concluded his business with the Government. He is to receive in payment of what is clue to him bonds of the projected loan of 400,000,000. There have been given to him as a guarantee, until this loan be contracted, 15,000,000 in Treasury bills, which are depo sited in the bank of St. Ferdinand. Yesterday the Mar quis de Cavalhero, one of our greatest speculators in the funds, became a defaulter, which produced a heavy fall in our money market." It is said that two new cavalry regiments are about to be formed on the frontiers of the Pyrenees, who are to scour the country. They will be denominated " E.!claireurs," as in the latter part of Napoleon's reign.—Courrier Francais.. The Indicateur of Bordeaux of the 18th inst. has the fol lowing from Bayonne of the 16th :—" Travellers from Na varre announce that Zumalacarregui has taken possession of Calahorra, a small town at the entrance of Castile; two leagues from Logrono. The Carlists have levied'contribu tions in money to a large amount, independently of military stores. They.caused six individuals to be shot, and carried off 35. The Queen's army has at length quitted Pam peluna and its environs in order to act against Zumala carregui. If this chief should wait its arrival, there will soon be a serious conflict. Count Armildez, Viceroy of Navarre, is recovering from the disease which caused rious apprehensions f r or his life. The Queen's troopS are fortifying Tafalla, where matters are in the same state as in the Bastan.. The garrison of the Misericordia is aban doned to itself, but is sufficiently provided with food and ammunition to resist the enemy. The cholera loses its virulence in Pampeluna, but all the surrounding villages are infected. It has appeared at Etchalar. The French Consul at St. Sebastian has communicated to the Sanatory Commission of Bordeaux that cases of cholera have ap peared in the environs of St. Sebastian." The Vapor of Barcelona of the 9th inst. contains a plan for a national loan of 1,200,000 reals, which has been pent from Cadiz to the Cortes. It is proposed to take in pay ment 400,000,000 in money, and 800,000,000 in debt without interest. This loan is to be raised by subscriptions, opened at the chief town of every province. Don Antonio Coma and Don Ramon Viton have undertaken to receive Subscriptions at Cadiz. Extract of a letter from Jassy, dated the 11th ult.- : " On the 7th the ceremony of the consecration of the Prince of Moldavia took place at the church of St. Nicholas, where, after the usual prayers, he took the oath prescribed in the middle of the church, and afterwards proceeded to the altar, where he' was anointed by the Metropolitan. The Prince then ascended the throne, and received from all the civil and military offiCers present the oath of alle giance. Two sermons were delivered, the Te Deum sung, and at twelve o'clock his Serene Highness returned to his palace, where he again seated himself on his throne, sur rounded by his Ministers and officers of State, and then delivered a short address to the assembled Court, in which, after stating that Moldavia ought to realize the benefits of the political existence which had been granted to her, but these could not be obtained 'by his single efforts, he calls upon all his fellow-countrymen to assist him. He then invites them .all to maintain social order, by performing fully the sacred duties of a good father, a good son, a good husband, and a good citizen. To this the Bishop of Romano, in the name of the Metropo litan, replied, and the Prince having received the congra tulations of all present, retired to his private apartments. The committee appointed to prepare the ceremonial of the day had caused to be brought from each town within the principality a pair of doves, and immediately on the conse cration they were let loose again with a note containing fur verses to the following purport :—' The dove of old brought glad tidings to Noah in the Ark. To-day, having taking my departure from Jassy when the sun was at its meridian, I have traversed the air to bring a no loss joyful report, that on this day Prince Michael received consecra tion.' The town was illuminated, and the festivities were continued for three days." According to a letter from Jassy, dated Sept. 14, on the 12th, when the guard at the Palace was relieved, the young. Princes Demetrius and Gregorius, sons of the new sovereign, were presented to the troops, previous to their departure for foreign universities, they having both been enrolled in the Moldavian militia, the eider in the first company of infan try, and the younger in the Ist company of cavalry. On this occasion his Serene Highness addressed those around Lim, declaring that ho had thus made his sons cadets in the National Militia that they might raise themselves; by learn ing obedience, to be worthy of promotion throitgh the other ranks, till they obtained the chief command. Turning then to his sons, he exhorted them to apply themselves dUring their absence to acquire knowledge, not merely for them selves, but for the benefit of their country. The Hetman, Theodore Balsh, made an animated and grateful reply in the name Of the militia, and of the people at large. Extract of a letter from Frankfort, dated the lath instant :—" Switzerland has become an object of attention to all the Governments of Germany. It is no longer to be doubted that the chiefs of the Propaganda have•made it the centre of their revolutionary machinations. The Uni versities will suffer in consequence, as all German subjects will be forbidden to resort to them ; and they will suffer still more when all communication is cut off. The nego tiations respecting the workmen are daily becoming of greater importance, because it is seen that the intriguers are endeavouring to gain an influence over this numerous class of society. The Government conceives that it is its duty to keep a watchful eye over them in order to pre vent a recurrence of scenes of bloodshed. All the Ger man Governments are taking measures to provide against such disasters." • The Carlsruhe Gazette contains an ordinance, dated the Bth instant, issued by the Grand Duke of Baden, which, after reciting that it was manifest that meetings of the workmen were continually held in the Canton of Berne, at. which expressions and acts in contempt of Princes and Mo narchical principles took 'place, exciting the workine , clasies against their respective Governments, preventing them. from 'pursuing their occupations, leading them into useless ex penses, throwing them back as a burthen upon their parents, and inculcating principles which, by being propagated, may compromise the tranquility of the country, ordains as fol lows ;—" All workmen belonging to Baden are, forbidden to go into the Canton of Berne, and all the foreign envoys of the Grand Duchy are directed to insert such prohibition in the passports and certificates of the workmen. All such workmen of Baden as are now in the Cantors of Berne are ordered to quit it within 15 days of the promulgation of this ordinance. All workmen who shall in future go into the Canton of Berne, or who shall be proved to have re mained there after the above time, shall not become mas ters till after the lapse of twelve months from the period they shall be out of their time. The Minister of the Interior is authorised to extend this ordinance to the other Cantons of Switzerland where similar meetings may be held, and the parents and guardians of such workmen as are now in the Canton of Berne are called upon to make its provisions known to them." PARIS, OcT. 21.—Yesterday morning at eleven o'clock, the Duke de Frias, the Spanish .Ambassador; and Lord Granville, bad long conferences with M. de Rigny. M. President Dupin is expected to-day at the Palais Bourbon. It is on Wednesday that M.

SCHWARZBURG-SONDERSHAUSEN.—In consequence of a resolution adopted in the 33rd sitting of the Diet, an ordi nance of the Government of this principality prohibits the sale and distribution of all works which have hitherto been or may in future.be published by Schuler and Silbermann at Strasburg, especially political pamphlets, under a penalty of twenty dollars. The subjects of the principality are likewise prohibited from attending the universities of Berne and Zurich, with:the threat that, in case of their disregard ing this prohibition, they cannot hope for any public em ployment. BERNE.—It is reported that the Polish refugee, Le lewal, who is employed by the Government, and was busy in the Commune of Schappen, with surveys and measurements for deepening the - three lakes, has come into an unpleasant collision with the people, who very significantly intimated to him that he would do well to quit the district of Schappen with all speed, other wise he might chance to make a disagreeable acquaintance with a hazel twig.

NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT. TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND. MY Loan--I humbly beg to inform you that the late new Bankrupt Act does not work well in the country, inasmuch as in this town we have only five Commissioners ; and to-day I wished to open a Fiat, and found three of them out of town, and therefore cannot proceed until their return on Saturday next. I beg to suggest that the Fiats ought to be as formerly, viz., directed to any attornies, but to all barristers resident in the place where the Fiat is worked, because when only two are put in the Fiat it has often happened here that both were in London. The present plan of opening Fiats, for the above reasons, are a delay of justice. I trust you will remedy the same forthwith. Your most obedient, WILLIAM WILSON, Attorney. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 22, 1834. PRECAUTIONARY SYSTEM AGAINST FIRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn—The letter I addressed you on the 19th inst., was restricted to inquiries on the measures employed to guard the Bank Building against fire. After further reflection on the subject, I am induced to suggest, that a Precautionary System against Fire should be adopted at all the principal Public Edifices in the Metropolis—such as the two Pa laces, the Post-office, the Treasury, the India-house, So merset-house, and the British Museum. This system should embrace a permanent establishment of engines, pro portionate to the magnitude of the respective buildings ; so that in case of a fire breaking out in any of them, these buildings may not be dependent (as many of them at pre sent are), on parochial engines, and on those from the dif ferent Insurance Offices. The engines attached to the above-mentioned public edifices, and constantly kept within the premises, should be regularly examined and exercised, at least once a week. The fire-plugs, also within the said premises, should be examined daily, and a sufficient number of firemen should be maintained for working the engines. The advantages of a Precautionary System of this kind are obvious. It is true, it would be attended with expense ; but when it is considered what immense destruction of pro perty may eventually be prevented by it, who would hesi tate to recommend the plan ? Birmingham, Oct. 23, 1834. Z. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1834. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—You have truly said that the destruction of the Parliament Houses is a national calamity. More commo dious places of assembly may be erected, but the old asso ciations cannot be restored—it remains to us to create new ones, and I suggest to the British people the plan of a National Contribution for the purpose of erecting Senate Houses ; let the lists be open to all, from the King to the peasant, and I have little doubt that all ranks and all par ties would unite with public spirit for such a purpose, and thus give to the new edifice an interest which it cannot have as a mere public building erected by taxes. Armagh, Oct. 20. AN IRISH RADICAL. THE LATE FIRE. BRIGADE ORDERS. The Field Officer in Brigade waiting has received the fol lowing communication from the Adjutant-General : " Horse Guards, Oct. 22, 1834._ " Sir,--By Lord Hill's desire I have the honour herewith to transmit a copy of a letter which his Lordship has received from Mr. Secretary Spring Rice, expressing . the satisfaction with which his Majesty has been graciously pleased to regard the conduct and services of the troops who were employed in aid of the civil authorities upon the occasion of the late cala mitous fire at Westminster. I am, at the same time, commanded to direct that the Secretary of State's letter may, immediately on receipt thereof, be communicated to the Foot Guards in brigade and regimental orders, and am to add, that it is most gratifying to the General Commanding in Chief to be autho rised to make to the troops a communication in all respects so honourable to them. " I have the honour to be, Sir, &c. " J. MACDONALD. " To the Field Officer iu Waiting, Brigade of Guards." (COPY.) " Whitehall, Oct. 21, 1834. _ _ _ " My Lord,—His Majesty, having taken into his consider ation the various reports that have been made to him on the subject of the late calamitous fire at Westminster, has been graciously pleased to express the satisfaction with which he has learned that the most zealous services were rendered by, the civil and military authorities employed on that occasion, as well as by many private individuals. " I am therefore commanded by his Majesty to convey to your Lordship His Majesty's marked approval of your Lord ship's conduct, and that of the officers and men whose exer tions on Thursday night contributed to am.t the progress of the fire, and to prevent the entire destruction of the public buildings at Westminster.—l have, &c., (Signed) "SPRING RICE. " To the General Commanding-in-Chief." ELGIN COURIER. On Friday last our neighbour and contemporary the El g in Courier terminated its existence, after a life of seven years. Its circulation had dwindled down to one hundred and-thirty subscribers, and the copy-right has been pur chased (merely to extinguish the title) for five pounds ! The types and presses brought 1301. The sale took place in Webster's Hotel on Friday evening, and as the roup of a newspaper is not an every-day occurrence, a considerable number of persons was drawn to the spot. The copyright was set up at 501. but was gradually reduced to five, at which sum, as we have already stated, it was kritcked down. A prospectus has been issued for the formation of a joint stock company, with a capital of 5001. to be divided into a hundred shares, for continuing a weekly Paper in Elgin, under the title of The Elgin and Morayshire Advertiser. It is generally believed, however, that the plan will not suc ceed. First, we suspect that a hundred 51. shares will not be easily obtained ; secondly, this amount - of capital will not suffice ; and thirdly, there is scar ce ly room in El g i n for a n ewspaper. The county is indeed, wealthy, and the inhabitants spirited ; but with the three Aberdeen Jour nals on one hand, and the two Inverness ones on the other, the field in Elgin is very limited. Even thii, too, is greatly divided. Local politics have shed abroad the bitter waters of strife on the beautiful little town of El gin, and great judgment, management, and forbearance would be required on the part of an Editor I&. unite even a majority of the people in support of his -‘‘ folio of four pages." In the meantime we promise to do our best to supply the vacancy. We have made arrange ments for reporting public meetings, and collecting .lOcal information, and the government and county adverAse ments will henceforth appear in our columns. The Elgin Courier for about five years supported Whig or liberal principles. The two last years it was Conservative ; but 1 its decease cannot justly be referred to any political prin ciple. It originated in private causes, and was hastened b y a system of local personality which alienated from its support many influential persons, who would otherwise be happy t o see a newspaper established an d fl our i s hi ng amongst themselves.—lnverness Courier. THE WOOL TRADE. Some interest is now manifested among those connected with the trade in Wool relative to the sales of Colonial and other Wools now in progress. The sales commenced on Wednesday, at Garraway s Coffee-house, were continued yesterday, and will be carried on the remainder of the week. There were a great many buyers from Leeds, Brad ford, York, &c., among those present at the sales ; and al though the scarcity of money is still felt in the country a desire to purchase was evinced. The amount of Wools announced for the first sale was nearly 4,800 bales, of which about half are Colonial produce, from Van Diemen's Land and Australia, the remainder were Portuguese, Spanish, German, Swan River, and other Wools. The first sale of the series comprised 700 bales, of which 527 were Colonial, 103 Tuscany, 50 East .India, and 80 bales of Turkey and German Wools. The Colonial Wools attracted principal attention; but throupli the quality being inferior not much activity was displayed by the bidders. Australian Wools of the finest sort realized from 2s. to 2s. 5-0. per lb., and the lower samples at from Is. 2d. to I s. 10d. per lb. The Wools from Van Diemen's Land were also of an inferior description, and went off heavily at from Is. 3d. to Is. 10i -d. per lb. East India Wools were offered at Bd. per lb., but no biddings were made. Smyrna Wools were inferior, and only realized from 34-d. to 4d. per lb. A second sale took place, consisting of 581 bales of Portugal, South American, Spanish, Russian, and other Wools, but in consequence of their being of so in ferior a quality they were mostly withdrawn. Allowing for the quality of the Wools in the present sales, there is a decline of from 2d. to 3d. per lb. on the quotations obtained for Wools at the sale in August last. An indisposition to purchase the Colonial Wools was evinced by the Yorkshire manufacturers, in consequence of inferior quality. Yesterday the 'second sale was well attended. and 1,160 bales were put up, of which 608 were Australian, 369 Van Diemen's Land, 75 Cape, 3 from the New Colony on the Swan River, and the other portion German, Vigonia, and other Wools. In this sale the Colonial Wools were rather of better quality, and more animation was displayed than on Wednesday ; but still there was not that disposition to purchase, which was the feature of the previous sales. The Colonial Wools, amounting to nearly 1,000 bales, were first put up for sale, and the finest qualities offered went off at from 2s. to 2s. 7id. per lb., while the lower qualities sold from Is. 3d. to 2s. per lb., and Wools in the grease from Is. 1 d. to Is. 2d. per lb. The Van Diemen's Land Wocil were' of low quality, and realized previous prices. The estimate formed of the result of the second sale is, that prices have gone about 2d. per lb. lower than at the sales which took place a few months since. From the mull of the future sales, which comprise Wool from some of the best flocks in the Colony, a more accurate opinion can be formed. The recent failures in the trade have had no effect, and purchases are almost entirely made for immediate con sumption. The demand for Wools, the produce of the British Colonies, continues on the increase ; and as the growth improves, the Wools from Spain will become less sought after by the manufacturers. SIR WALTER SCOTT. In a letter from a friend at Rome, to the editor of the Literary Gazette, previously to the last illness which concluded the career of the author of " Waverley," the writer gives the following interesting anecdote of the great novelist :—" When Sir Walter Scott arrived at Rome, he asked me for a book. I enumerated the few I had got, and he immediately pitched upon something by the author of Pelham. I accordingly sent him Eugene Aram,' which he returned me in a few days, saying that since he had left England he had not enjoyed so much amusement. He talked a long time about Bulwer and his productions, and I sincerely regret not having made a minute of his remarks. I recollect, however, distinctly his saying, Oh that is a man whose name always puts me in mind that I must look about me;' and after expressing his high approbation of the tale he had just been reading, he added, I can hardly conceive 'a greater proof of talent than this, that a writer should take for his sub ject Eugene Aram, a story well known almost to everyone of his readers, and that he should be able to work it up in so artful a manner as to produce such intense interest ; for this,' he said laughing, is the fault of the book. I read late, I could not lay it down, and twice it has spoiled my night's rest.' " These remarks do honour to Sir Walter Scott ; they at once attest his discernment, and his liberal senti ments towards one who was destined to succeed him as the master-spirit of the age. Had he been spared a little longet,,,how would his opinion of Mr. Bulwer's powers have been increased on perusing " The Last Days of Pompeii." A more difficult subject was never chosen by any writer of romance, and from no work have we risen with such admiration of the author's genius. THE LIFE RAFT. On Tuesday, according to — the public announcement of placards posted up in places adjacent to the river, Mr. Can ning, the inventor of the life raft, exhibited himself and his apparatus for saving the lives of shipwrecked mariners on the Thames. The placards announced that the experiment would take place at eleven o'clock, and that at that hour the raft, with the inventor upon it, would be dragged or towed by the Pilot steamer against one of the abutments of London-bridge. The state of the tide, however, did not admit of the experiment taking place at so early an hour, and it was not till nearly one o'clock that it was made. The raft is of the most simple contrivance, but is on that account the more useful, and the more capable of being speedily constructed. It consists of three booms or spars, or yards lashed together with ropes in the centre, and then bent out into the shape of two triangles, connected at the apices. At the extremity of the spars which form the lower triangle are fixed three casks or barrels, which render the whole sufficiently buoyant, and which arc defended from external injury by being covered in part by old bedding, &c. ; the whole floats high above the water, and in the upper inverted triangle Mr. Canning sat securely during the experiment, and appeared to be perfectly at his ease ; the extremities of the triangles are secured to each other by ropes. The Pilot steam-boat towed the apparatus through all the bridges, from London-bridge to Battersea, and brought it with considerable force in contact with the various piers of each ; at Blaekfriars, in particular, the shock was in great force, the machine, however, weathered every obstacle, and fully performed what•it was asserted it would do. Its principal merit is the facility with which it can be put together, and formed of almost any materials to be found in a ship, and its great defence against destruc tion is its extreme lightness, and its rather yielaing to,• by its elasticity, than resisting by its strength the force of a sudden shock. How it would succeed in a gale of wind upon a rocky shore, it is difficult, from the experiment of yesterday, to form a positive conclusion. It is said, how ever, to have been tried in a severe gale on the coast of Jersey, about five years ago, and to have answered most successfully the wishes of the inventor. London-bridge was crowded with anxious spectators, and the river, from the quantity of craft of all sorts below bridge, increased by its animated appearance the interest of the scene. AUSTRIA. METTERNICH'S SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT. The Augsburg Gazette contains the following reflec tions, occasioned by the 25th anniversary of Prince Met ternich's elevation to the high office of Prime Minister of Austria : " The Prince assumed the direction of the foreign rela tions of the vast Austrian empire a few days after the bat tle of Wagram, when the political opinions of Europe were in a state of total disorganization. On the 7th of Octo ber, thie6 . months later, the Prince was officially appointed 'to the Sadie -department, for which he had shown himself singularly , qUalified. At this time the power of Napoleon was at its height, and he wished to form an allianee with the nation which he had made so many attempts -to weaken. Napoleon was crowned with power and glory ; his power extended from the Vistula to Cadiz, from the ,German Ocean to tint, extremity of Calabria. That for idable seemed then daily to become more consoli 4itted, and promised ages of domination to hint and his iiiierity. Europe beheld with astonishment his rapid con quests, and the magic extension of his power. A few pro found observers, and, amongst the number, was Prince Metternich, discovered the secret of the weakness of the French.- " Gradually, circumstances, unforeseen by the mass of mankind, bi-ought about the overthrow of that gigantic empire. The legions which had penetrated to the Nile, and'had marched in triumph from the Tagus to Russia, at last succumbed under the load of victories. Then Sove -Vigns Wad nations united in the most sacred bonds of brotherhood against the unprecedented favourite of fortune. Tha battle of Leipsic relieved Germany from the yoke which" had, pressed so heavily upon her. Her injured sons avenged the thousand wrongs she had received at the hands of the licentious French soldiery, and the capital of their late oppressors lay exposed to a deservedly terrible retribution. " The Bourbons wore restored to the throne of their ancestors, apd, in an assembly of Sovereigns and statesmen the most memorable in the history of the world, the affairs of Europe were brought back to their natural state. The nations were a second time thrown into alarm, and a second time they restored peace to the world. The man who had been the cause of so much bloodshed, so much misery, was consigned to a barren rock of the Atlantic, there to end his days, the prisoner of the nation which he most detested. The Powers of Europe were then left in peace to turn thoir attention towards their people. " Spain became a prey to civil war in changing a long established system of government for one which she did not understand, and she found herself obliged to return to the former state of things. The attempt at innovation of to day will have the same end, for the moral state of things in Spain will not allow of such ameliorations. " Portugal founded an empire in the New World, and she herself is now the victim of revolutionary measures. France, after a repose of 15 years, was hurried into the course which formerly proved so disastrous to herself and. Europe. The day of the popular triumph was the day of her ruin ; the illustrious have vanished, and she is now fast re trograding. Italy attempted to follow the example of France, but happily for herself, she did not succeed in bring ing about her own destruction. " Turkey, distracted by foreign and domestic feuds, has lost many of her fairest provinces. Her hitherto natural enemy has now become her friend, and will remain such. The in terests of Russia arc now closely allied to those of the Porte. The Emperor Alexander died covered with glory, deplored by his people, and esteemed and regretted by Eu rope. Constantine abdicated the throne in favour of his younger brother Nicholas. who trod the hydra of revolution under his feet, and has lately succeeded in restoring peace to Poland. In this short space of time England has had her Castle reagh, Canning, Liverpool, and Grey. E ac h success i ve administration has been hesitating between the aristor:racy and democracy ; but the door of the revolution has at last been opened. In 1810 Austria found herself in a most critical position. Since the taking of Paris, until the present hour, she has followed the same political system. Her power and influ ence have changed, it .is true ; but neither reproach nor praise has been able to induce her to abandon her principles. " The country is happy in the enjoyment of the greatest plenty—the necessaries of life are cheap—and the people love their Emperor. The arts and sciences flourish, and commerce is in a flourishing state all over the empire ; the credit of the , Government is good, and order and tranquil lity reign everywhere. " Austria has always shown herself the implacable enemy of reckless innovations. The desice on her standard is Undoubted Right,' and every one will rally round it in case of need." _ " This undeviating policy of 23 years is a rare political phenomenon. History will mention it in terms of the highest praise, and the nam. of Metternich will ever lw associated with the P erseverin g diameter of his system." SECOND EDITION.

JUNCTION OF THE RHINE AND D AN The following particulars of a plan to unit the Rhine and the Danube by means of a canal arc given in a private letter from Munich, dated Oct. 8 : The Government of Bairaria is now anxiously occu pied with the consideration of a plan for uniting the Rhine with the Danube by means of a canal. This plan was thought of so long ago as the time of Charle magne, but various circumstances prevented its execu tion. According to thelaw which received the sanction of the Bavarian Chambers the canal will be completed by a company of shareholders, but the Government is to have the power to take one quarter of the shares.. The maximum of the toll which the proprietors of the canal are authorised to exact during ninety-nine years is fixed at one-third of the price which would he charged by waggon for the same distance. The canal will have its source in the Danube, near Kellheim. Its course will follow the valley of the small river d'Altmulil and the Sulz as far as Neumark ; from thence the canal will pass in the direction of Nurem berg, and pass the river Regnitz, by Furth and Bam berg. Its length will be 592,543 Bavarian feet, or 23.4 German miles. Its breadth will be 54 Bavarian feet, and its depth 34. The highest elevation of the canal will be 273 feet above the surface of the Danube near Kellheim, and 630 feet above the surface of the Reignitz, near Bamberg. This elevation will be at tained by means of ninety-four locks. It appears from an official calculation that the conveyance of a quintal of goods throughout the whole length of the canal will . not cost above a kreutzer and a half, including the ex penses of navigation. Adding to this 12 kreutzers for the toll of a quintal of wood, and 24 kreutzers for any other description of goods, it would appear that board; may be conveyed the distance of 23& geographical miles at the rate of thirteen and a half kreutzers for the quintal of wood, and 254 for the same weight of other descriptions of goods. Taking the average an nual quantity of goods conveyed in the same directicm, a saving of transport to the amount of 900,000 florins (about a million of francs) may be effected. Not only will this canal effect a saving in the price of transport, but it will also increase the numberof outlets for manu factures in that direction, and will be of great benefit both to consumers and producers: The economy in the means of transport will lead to a reduction► of the cost of the first materials, and the commerce of the whole of Europe will benefit by it. The expense of the construction of the canal is estimated at about 18,732,800 francs, and the expense of repairs at the annual sum of 175,921 francs. From various calcu lations it is supposed the shareholders will derive frail the canal a net profit of 600,000 florins, or about ,even per cent. upon the capital of the first investilient, it being supposed that in the first year at least 1,700,000 quintals of goods will have been conveyed along its whole extent. THE DISSENTERS AND CHURCH RATEs, We are glad to find that a resolution to the following effect wap. unanimously agreed to ti last meeting, and that e committee of deputies at their Government will be distinctly ap prised that such is t That,'ne unanimous feeling of the Dissenters : as I rJ church -rates, no measure can be satisfactory which . not relieve Dissenters from all compulsory contri :ution, direct or indirect, for the, maintenance of the edifices used by, and of the worship of the established church, and that they arc not able to devise any means of effecting this, but by the total abolition of church-rates." Of course care will be taken to prevent its being supposed that such an abolition of church-rates as Lord Altborp's Bill of last session affected hr enact would be satisfactory to the Dissenters. The substitu.. tion of a tax over which they would have no control, for one over which they would have a. powerful control—the present t.) the establishment of a good round charge upon the land-tax in lieu of a troublesome and uncertain church-rate, under the pretence of relieving the Dissenters—would not be tamely submitted to, and any repetition of a fraud of this kind upon the country will scarcely be attempted. But we cannot forget by whom such an attempt was made, and that Dissenters are indebted to the firmness of the House of Commons for resist n" a measure more worthy of Sir Robert Inolis than of Lord Althorp and Lord John Russell.—Patriot. whoe enti rel y on r l e e n v o i i v i a a td t e i Ii i sinces pos'el:lll(: before he of Norfolk, he lefttown,hasb his arrival at his favourit e retreat, F ornham St. Ge n ev i eve, near Bury, where his Grace lives in great seclusion.
