GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, SEPT. 29.—Private letters from Prague state that Charles X. had suddenly quitted that city, and gone with the Duke of Bordeaux to Graetz, in Styria. It seems that the King was apprehensive of being disturbed in his retirement at Prague by the many young men corning from France, and on that account went to Graetz, where a palace has long been prepaeed for his reception. The Duke of Bordeaux, accompanied by some officers of his household, set out a few hours before Charles X. The Duchess of Berry, whom I. de Montbel met at Bologna, will now probably , Y 1 at Graetz instead of coming to Prague. The Duchess is accompanied by Count Luc chesi Palli, her husband. M. de Chateaubriand had arrived at Prague some days before, and had the honour of being presented to King Charles X. We do not know whether he will follow the King or return to France. The Duke of Bordeaux attains his ma jority to-morrow, an event which, if not celebrated pub licly, will be actually so in the hearts of his adherents. The friends of legitimacy have great expectations of this young prince. They affirm that he manifests uncommon intellectual powers, and a firmness of character very un usual at his age. We expect here Count Munch Bellinghausen, from Frankfort, after whose arrival it is probable that some thing will be decided respecting the conferences on the affairs of Germany. The Russian Aulic Councillor Van Paggensuhl has ar rived here from St. Petersburgh ; he is going to Madrid, with a special mission, it is said, to the Court of Ferdi nand VII. We receive more satisfactory accounts from Italy, and it is hoped that the people's minds will be gradually calmed, and the ancient spirit of order will return. It is true that it will he necessary constantly to have a watchful eye to the incessant efforts of the Revolutionists. These men leave nothing untried to mislead the great body of the people, and if they have not yet attained their object in Italy, the fault is certainly not theirs, but it must be ascribed to the good sense of the lower orders. The French Republicans are particularly active in Italy ; they be lieve, that if they could succeed in procliirning a Republic, then the throne of Italy or France might be very eadilv overthrown. NAPLES, SEPT. 15.—The Court Gazette announces the arrival of Prince Cat adza, Greek Councillor of State, who has been presented to the King as Ambassador Ex traordinary from King Otho. The special object of his coming is to return thanks for the friendly mission of Prince Bulera to Napoli. VENICE, SEPT. 26.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry, travelling incognito by the name of Duchess of Sagana, arrived here yesterday with her suite. On the following day she visited the most remarkable public establishments, curiosities, &c. VIENNA, SEPT. 30.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 93 11-16 ; Four per Cent. ditto, 83 7-16 ; Bank Shares, 1,200-k.—Allgemeine ,Zeitung, Oct. 5. VIENNA, OCT. I.—According to letters from Brunn, in Moravia, the Emperor, when present at the manoeuvres executed at the camp of Touran, arrived at a place satu rated with rain to such a degree, that his horses' feet sunk (1, ep into the gtound. His Majesty in attempting to ex tricate himself was thrown from his horse and received some slight contusions on the foot and knee. After changing his garments, which were wet through, the Emperor again mounted on horseback, and attended the manoeuvres, which lasted more than three hours longer.— Austrian Observer, Oct. 2. Musitru, SEPT. 30.—His Royal Highness Duke Au gustus of Leuchtenberg arrived here yesterday morning. Baron V. C-tto, our Ambassador at London, is expected here in a few day'. The Crown Princess of Prussia, who is to stop to-night at Landshut, will pass through Munich to morrow, on her way to Tegemsee to visit her mother, the Queen Dowager. SPIRES, OCT. I.—The new Journal of Spires says : --4. According to accounts from Durkheim, an affray, attended with bloodshed, took place on the 28th ult., between the citizens and the military. M. Von Stengel, the President of the Circle, went thither in person." The Spires Gazette of the 3d October says, however, The affair at Durkheim on the 28th seems to have been quite insignificant. According to what we hear, the quarrel was not with the military, but between some gendarmes and citizens, in which one per son was wounded. It has been confidently reported for some days past, that the 2d Binalion of the 15th Regiment of Infantry, now in garrison at Neustidt and Durkheim, will be with drawn from the Circle of the Rhine.—Frankfore Papers, Oct. 5. Major Napier, brother to Admiral Napier, is about to take the cotnmand of a regiment of 1,000 men, to be called " Napier's Highlanders," and will proceed at once to Lisbon. UPPER CANADA.—The population and wealth of this province are rapidly increasing. TLe Os wrya Palladium says that the sum of 600,0001. was de posited in the b inks of Upper Canada at York by the emigrants last year; and adds, that there are 25 steam boats belonging to the province, and that other first-rate boats are building ; that the towns and villages are in a most flourishing condition, &c. The Welland Canal and other public works have powerfully advanced the pro. sperity of the province, which, while being an outlet for a surplus population in England, is also becoming a valuable consumer of English manufactures. A large part of the produce of the North Western Stites and territories now passes into Canada to Montreal and Quebec, in aid of the navigation interest and maritime power of Great Britain.—Baltimore Register, Slit. 7. RAMSGATE, OCT. 7.—An unfortunate and fatal accident occurred near this town on Thursday Two me❑ were engaged catching wild rabbits on the West Cliff, near the residence of Sir W. Garrow, when one (of the mine of Piddoch), standing on the edge of the cliff, and directing his companion bow to fix the nets, sud dully lost his balance, and in one moment was precipitated to !he bottom, a depth of 50 feet, and nearly dashed to pieces, the unfortunate man having pitched on the crown of his head. An inquest was held on the body on the following d iy, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. —X entish Gazette. HEALTH OF THE INHABITANTS OF LON notc—Sir A. Carlisle, in his evidence before the Factory Commission, thus accounts for the comparative good health of the adult population of London :—" The great mass of the population of London have been brought up in the country. 1 would venture to say that half the shop-keepers and artisans in London have been born and bred in the country, and come to London at or after maturity to seek their fortunes, and to obtain their livelihood, or to assist some of their relations or connexions. Such persons will go on for a consPerahle time without suffering much from the injurious effects of a confined city, or from an unhealthy occupation ; but take an infant born and bred in London, and subject it to all the same vicissitudes, and that child will invariably become unhealthy." By the orders of the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police force, the station houses of the respective divisions have each been supplied with a stretcher, or sedan carriage, for the purpose of con veying, with the least possible delay, persons who may meet with accidents, or otherwise receive injuries in the public streets, to the hospitals, or nearest places ezrhere the required assistance can be obtained. This ar rmneement has long been wanted throughout the metro .podis, where the most serious accidents are of almost daily ;occurrence, and many lives have been sacrificed in conse ,quence of the delay that has occurred in procuring the , r(o , a,ns of conveyance, rendering sail gical aid when obtained ineffectual. The machine in question is the carriage part of a sedan chair without the body, formed of a suitable l e ngth, and much similar to the handbarrow now used fur carrying pictures, looking glasses, &c. It allows the pa tient to be laid at full length upon a sacking, or in the easiest position the injuries he has sustained may require. A pillow is placed for the head, and two straps from the outward frame work pass over, and prevent the body from rolling off. It is very light, and can be quickly carried by &so men with straps over their shoulders. A few days ago some children were playing in the Kent Road, near Blackheath, amusing themselves w i t h tasking grottoes of oyster shells, and, in order to give effect, one of the children went home and begged of hiy m other to Let him hake t wo o ld p i ctures that were ts c ut thconsid ere d* house, and but u s u se l ess lam lylPg a - • their grotto. This was readily grant e d, an d per, to adorn placed on each side of the grotto. In Ole ad I,iGtures w . came by, a n d, after looking h e ,:, , ffered to giv e the children a short time a J ew dealer the pictures for some t ime, tid. for them ; the ch i ldren refused, at last offeria t and said ti t n The Jew ed 54 , belonged to their pa rents,— :rot Went to the parents and but was still refused , and 'tit e e offered 104 , but the extreme eagerrnessa of time J w p were of morexcited value p=- than as cori lued by the some suspicion that the old than they were aware of, and this 17 Jew offering 51. ss. for them, which was also refused. The next day the father of the cbildrea tt . iok a le pictures to Mr. Angerstein, at Blackheath, to inquire if they were of any value, and that gentleman gave Mu] a letter of recommendation to a person in London , who purc hased them for 1,400/., and they have since been sold for eon siderably more. _ ktri of ir *stn . 44 LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1833. In another part of The Sun will be found the Revenue 'returns for the quarter just ended. As we stated yesterday, the result does not afford matter either for exultation or regret. There is a decrease on the quarter of 253,2761., and on the year, of 380,420/. Under all the eiretn stances of the reduction of taxation, the diminu tion in the Customs owing to non-importation of corn and other causes, we think the deficiency of no moment. The principal decrease this quarter has been in the Customs, which is partly coun terbalanced by an increase in the Excise, Stamps, and Post-office. When the affairs of Belgium and the Peninsula are once arranged, we may expect a large increase in our Customs, for the unsettled state of those countries has long curbed that spirit of enterprise for which our merchants and manufacturers are so celebrated. We may also hope, by a new and more equitable modification of our system of taxation in the next session of Parliament, that the springs of industry will be so much relieved as to add to the revenue of the country, while the comfort o f the people generally will be greatly promoted. The Paris Papers of Wednesday mention that the reports circulated at the Bourse, on the pre vious day, about an insurrectionary movement at Madrid in favour of Don CARLOS, were wholly destitute of foundation ; and that the disturbances which broke out at Bilboa on the news of FERDINAND'S death, were very partial, and suppressed with little or no difficulty. The Constitutionnel says, that General HARISPE has already been appointed to the command of the corps of observation in the Pyrennees, and that a corps of 22,000 men is to be sent into Biscay.

The Temps, a Paris paper, which is usually well-informed as to the intentions of the French Cabinet, states, that orders have been transmitted to direct upon the line of the Pyrennees several corps of troops which the late dread of a move ment in the south had caused to be placed so near the frontier. Thus, says the Temps, the turbulent Legitimatists have been unconsciously promoting the views of the Spanish QUEEN. These troops are not to be united in one body except in the event of any positive inter vention becoming necessary, such for instance as BOURMONT and the Legitimatist officers placing themselves at the head of the Spanish Carlists, in which case the French troops are to enter Spain. Several Prefects in the south-west of France, whose fidelity is doubtful, are to be changed. According to the statement of the Temps, M. de TALLEYRAND and Marshal SOULT have both declared for active and vigorous measures, and the temporizing portion of the Cabinet were left in a minority. Time will show. We refer our readers to another column for an account of the meeting of the Greek Bond. holders yesterday, to consider the letter of Prince SouTzo, conveying the refusal of his Government to recognise the loans, by means of which his master has been provided with a throne, and the Greeks established in their in dependence. This letter is a curiosity in its way, from the singular mixture it presents of the shuffling of the pettifogging lawyer, and the bare faced impudence of the piccaroon. It amounts to saying, "We won't pay ; and, further, you have no right to ask for payment, because, when the loan was made, we gave you besides securi ties which still remain, others no longer available." To an honest tradesman accustomed to pay his debts this reasoning may appear weak ; but we really think that it deserves some degree of praise. Any attempt at reasoning on the part of a man who stops you on the high-way, shows him to be ashamed of what he is about. The Royal Government of Greece contrasts somewhat badly with the Republican States of Ame rica, who made loans under precisely simi lar circumstances ; but let us hope that the excuse which accompanied the avowal of the intention to rob the bondholders may in time grow into an acknowledgment of their right. Any one that lends the Greek Government a farthing till that acknowledgment takes place will deserve to be Prince SouTzo's shoe-black. A Paris correspondent of that extremely en lightened Journal, the Morning Herald, writ ing " in the spirit of the Paper," has sent a long tirade against the practice of Englishmen visit ing foreign countries. Our contemporary often exhibits curious specimens of that kind of wis dom which dictated to Queen ELIZABETH the imposition of a restriction on the building of houses near London, " for fear the head should grow too large for the body ;" but that of this morning exceeds, in the richness of its absur dity, any thing it has for a long time published. The Paris correspondent, after desiring to have recorded, in capital letters, the fact that there are more English in Paris at the present moment than ever there were before, exclaims— " Let the tradeFmen of Lond-street, Pall-mall, Regent street, Oxford-street, and Piccadilly, w hil e s i tt i ng i n their deserted shops, read the above, for it is true. Let them ponder on it, and let them tell the starving artisans depending on them for employment and bread t o comp l a in of that crying evil, absenteeism., The writer has evidently made a mistake in his streets. He should have invoked the " tradesmen of St. Giles's, of Billingsgate, of Saffron-hill, and Shoe-lane, while sitting in their deserted shops," &c. How the misprin t could have been made it is difficult to conceive, for the tradesmen of Bond-street, &c., know very well that if there was no such place as Paris in the world their shops would be deserted at this season of the year ; and the " starving artizans dependant upon them for employment," suffer just as little from the desertion of the West End shops now as they have done for the last two hundred years. We may observe, by the way, for the benefit of the Herald's correspondent, whose constant residence abroad may excuse his ignorance of the fact, that there are at present no artizans starving ; that the great bulk of our ma nufacturers are, and have been for some months, in fuller employment than they were for a year or two previously. Perhaps they are working up goods to pay for the articles our countrymen are consuming in Paris ! We suggest the point for the consideration of the Herald's corres pondent. In the mean time, with praiseworthy self-devotion, he throws out the following hint:— " Let some patriotic Member of Parliament, early in the next Session, move for returns (as far as they can be made out) of ' the number and quality of absentees from all parts of the United Kingdom;' the amount of money drawn thence by them and spent on the Continent;' the number of them who shall have ruined their fortunes, their credit, and their principles, by a residence abroad ;' the number of females whose reputation for purity has been (not lost, for that would be invidious, but) enhanced by intercourse with the Continent ;' the number of British females who have married foreign scamps, schemers, and swindlers, and been made consequently wretched ;' and having obtained or been refused these returns, let the same Member of Parliatnent move for a Committee to inquire into the best mode of (not preventing emigration, but of) preventing the impoverishment of the country by the continual and increasing drain of money by absentee proprietors.'" Here is the rock upon which the patriotic writer has wrecked his judgment,—" the im poverishment of the country by the continual and increasing drain of money by absentee pro prietors." This continual and increasing drain has been going on for some hundreds of years ; but if what has been " drained out of the country" only since the peace were added up, it would, upon the principles maintained by our contemporary, amount to a sum of nearly a hun dred millions, the benefit of the expenditure of which has been lost to our artisans. If the Herald correspondent would but consider how his own salary is made up, he would at once see the fallacy under which he is labouring. As England does not grow gold to send him in return for his valuable correspondence, hove does he think the " money" he undoubtedly receives is obtained ? The proprietors of the Herald, or some one else for them, have, in the first instance, to sell British manufactures somewhere abroad in order to obtain what is agreed to be received among civilized nations as the representative of labour. In other words, he exchanges his labour for a certain portion of the labour of those who read the Morning Herald. Neither party has a right to complain as long as the exchange is made by mutual con sent. In the same way every other English man at Paris has to pay for the goods he consumes there ; that is, for the labour of other people by his own labour. The money an Englishman takes with him to France is merely the representative of his la bour, for he could not have obtained the money without labouring for it. The question is, then, whether a man has not a right to do what he likes with the produce of his own labour ? To say that he is a fundholder or landowner, is merely saying that he or his fathers have saved their labour and lent it to the state, or have embarked it in the particular fcrm called agri culture. But then the Paris correspondent objects to the way in which people spend their money (that is, the representative of their saved labour) in France, and draws the following picture of life in Paris " Let but a deputation of the West-end tradesmen (in particular) visit Paris at this moment, and if at every step they take they meet not with former customers in crowds, at every shop they enter if they see not English people purchasing as if possessed, at every theatre if they see them not occupying stalls and other of the most ex pensive places, if they find not alt the taverns, hotels, lodging-houses, job carriages, and horses, grooms, foot men, and other servants, filled, hired, and empl, yed by them, and by them nearly exclusively—if, I say, these things be not seen, I shall be content to be set down for the most arrant retailer of falsehood that ever wielded pen." He thinks it a monstrous thing that people should thus exchange their labour ; but as long as they are content to do so, what right has he, or any one else, to complain ? We may think his communications from Paris not worth the paper they are written upon,—we might declaim against the ignorant folly of sending him 3001. or 4001. per annum of " English money to be spent in France," for lette'rs, which, if they have any effect at all, can only be mischievous ; but as long as the English readers of the Herald are content to send a portion of their labour to France for a portion of his labour, it would be absurd in any one to interfere legislatively be tween them. We may think that one side has not made a very good bargain; but it is tho affair of the contracting parties, and of them alone. The story the writer tells about an " uncommonly fine youn g man—tall, well made, much known, and generally liked," who, being a native of Dublin and inheriting a tolerably large fortune, gambled it away, is as little to the purpose as the rest of his letter. But we must now bid our absentee arguer against ab senteeism farewell. There are, thank God, few in this country, except a►nongst time most ignorant of the community, likely to be convinced by his reasoning ; and we trust that even in France, where the light of political science has spread even more slowly than with us, there are not many who will consider his communications as indicative of the feelings generally entertained towards that country by this. The good accord, the friendly intelligence of two great nations, cannot, at the present age of the world's wisdom, be disturbed by the railing of monopoly or the rant of Toryism.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. RIGHT OF PERSONS TO DRIVE CATTLE INTO SMITHFIELD MARKET BY THEIR OWN SERVANTS. Mr. Goodbody, a salesman of Smithfield Market, ap peared this morning b,fore Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER, to complain of the conduct of one of the officers of Al dersgate-street, for having taken 17 sheep to the Green Yard, which were sent to him from Mr. Walton, of Cheshunt. The officer stated that about six o'clock this morning, in Barbican, be saw a person without a badge o❑ his:arm driving the sheep towards Smithfield Market, and under standing that that was not allowed, he instantly took them to the Green Yard. The ALDERMAN—Sending them to the Green-yard was rather sharp work, I very much doubt your right to do so. Mr. Goodbody said the course the officer had adopted would be productive probably of great inconvenience and loss to the owner of the sheep, as their sale to—day had been lost. He firmly believed that the only object the officer had in view in putting the cattle in the Green Yard was to insure himself half the fine. The AtnaxmAx, after looking at the Act of Parlia ment, said that the officer had exceeded his duty, inas much as the Act only referred to cattle being drive❑ from the market. The sending of the cattle to the Green Yard was most improper ; and the officer would he liable to make good any loss that had been sustained. The worthy Alderman ordered the sheep to be released immediately. BOW STREET.-(THIS DAY.) James Mitchell was brought berore Mr. MlNsflutr. under the following circumstances : Police constable, F 28, stated that last night, about nine o'clock, he found the prisoner lying in the street. Think ing he was drunk he went to him, and found that though be had been drinking he was not the worse for it, but appeared rather to be unsound in mind. He took him to the station-house, where he said he had been to a house in Monmouth-street, and had three pots of ale ; but having no money to psy for it, he had left a piece of silver plate. Inspector Dodd said he had been caught during the night attempting to strangle himself with his handkerchief. Afterwards they were obliged to set a man to watch him. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what bad hap pened. He had been robbed to a great extent, and had a trial coming on in a few days, for some papers connected with which he had been to Hicks's Hall. He had two of the witnesses with him, and they had some ale, which, with the grief, had preyed on Isis mind, and induced him to act in such a way. He was exceedingly sorry for it, and if the Magistrate would forgive him, it should never happen again. Mr. Misstfur.r. sent the policeman home with him to some place in Vauxhall, where he said he was a broker. LAW OF LIBEL. THE EFFECT OF THE LAW OF LIBEL IN THIS LAND OF LIBERTY UNDER A LIBERAL GO. VERNMENT, AND THE FIRST REFORMED PARLIAMENT. A meeting was called of the newstraders resident in London on Friday, October 4, at the Lyceum Tavern, Strand, to t'ke into consideration the case of a news. vender named Warne, now incarcerated in Whitecross street prison, at the suit of an attorney, for selling a Sunday newspaper, which newspaper was said to contai❑ a libel on the said Dicas party. The meeting, having been hastily called and not suffi cient publicity given, was but thinly attended, and no pre vious arrangement having been made, some difficulty in getting a chairman was found. At last Mr. Maggs took the chair and opened the business by reading the hand bill for calling the meeting, and also a letter from Warne, published in the Dispatch, of Sunday, Sept. 27. The Chairman was asked if council had been employed to defend Warne, and if the proprietors of the Sunday Paper had done any thing to prevent so unfortunate a transaction. A Gentleman present, who said he was a professional man, stated that he was in Court, watching the proceed ings, but not engaged in the defence, as his name was not on the record. He begged to inform the meeting that the defence had cost the proprietors of the Sunday paper up xards of 401. ; that the counsel for the de fendant agreed to a verdict for the plaintiff, with 101. da mages. lie was asked if the proprietors of the Sunday paper bad paid the 10/. ; he said they bad not ; that the action was brought by Dicas's son for the sake of costs, and that lie had immediately sent in an execution for the 10/. damages, and 85/. costs, for which two men were in posses sion fourteen days. Finding that the defendant's goods would not pay the landlord's rent and King's taxes, he withdrew the execution from the effects, an I took the defendant's body in execution. This was an illegal pro ceeding ; and, as such, the proprietors of the Sunday Newspaper were going to proceed against the plaintiff for perjury, he having sworn that no levy had been made. A gentleman stated he was one of the jury when the case was tried, and he, as well as bis fellow jurymen were surprised that the counsel for defendant should have agreed to a verdict for plaintiff with out consulting the jury, as, from what they had heard of the case, they would not find the defendant guilty. As the meeting was so small, and as further proceedings were still pending, the meeting was adjourned till the 22d October, that a general meeting of the trade might be convened, as it affected the whole body of the trade, and that a petition might be presented to Parliament for the alteration of the law of libel, or whatever a more numerous meeting might think best to proceed in. Sir,—l have, since the above meeting, called on Warne, in Whitecross -street prison, and he has confirmed the above statement. It must be evident to every one, that newsvenders can have no interest in, or control over, the contents of any newspaper; the proprietor, editor, printer, and publisher are the only persons who ought to be responsible for the matter therein contained, their names, with the exception of the editor's (unless he be also the proprietor, printer, or publisher) being registered, together with those of sureties at the stamp•offtce, in case they should offend against the laws. The nature of a newsvender's business is such that it is impossible he can kno v the contents of every newspaper that passes through his hand from the publisher to his customers. He attends the various offices at an early hour in the morning, in order to supply what is an almost indispensa ble article to the breakfast table. To furnish this luxury he must quit his bed (in winter before tiny-light) long before his neighbours are stirring, endure all weathers for hours, and perform his accustomed round of miles, before he can sit down to take a hasty mouthfull, without a chance of reading a single paper ; and wher, he has supplied his morning customers, he must be employed in collecting in his bills for his next day's wants, and when evening comes be must be on foot to supply his evening customers. Thus six days are spent; but the seventh, which should be a day of rest, is to him a day of greater toil than the other six. Can such be the law i❑ a land of freedom, that men shall be punished for that in which they have no concern, and of which they have no knowledge? As this is evidently the case, the sooner the law is altered the better; and as a meeting of the trade is about to be called, it is hoped that the proprietors of the respectable journals, and the public in general, will come forward to aid the newsvenders in their endeavour to get rid of such an unjust and oppressive liability.--I am, Sir, your bumble servant, Pentunville, Oct. 10, 1833. A NEWS-AGENT. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY•) Ellen Kay, the wife of William Kay, a shoemaker, was indicted for great cruelty towards her child, aged four years. Mr. BODKIN stated the case. Peter Lovegrove was a shoemaker, and lived in Nate . Head-yard, Blenheim-street. The defendant was the wife of a shoemaker, and lived in the next room to him. All the rooms opened into a common gallery. On the 24th of September he saw the defendant in that gallery about two or three o'clock. She had three children, one of whom, nam e d Willi am , was un d er f our year s' e l .`" (The child was here p ro d uce d.) Th at c hild was t hen i t " Ling under witness's window, and was very quiet.

There were bru'se'l his face, but whether f rom tho•.e kicks or not witness not know. The child's face was never free from bruise? indeed he was an outcast from the family, was ill-treat eot and kept without food.
