We often ask ourselves how it is that this revolutionary mop ement of Germany in 1848 has not as yet had its historian in France. . was the German people themselves who suppressed the feudal .rights with such a spontaneity and unani mity that the governments were obliged to sanction the act of the people, and to regularise it. Thus, the Austrian Government was far from imagining that this great revolution was a fait accompli, when deputations arrived from all the provinces to thank the Government of the Emperor for having abo lished rights which the day before he had no idea of suppressing. It may be said that from that moment Anstria has really become a W es t ern Power, that the motives of political and social or ganisation which from 1789 to 1815 prevented an alliance with France ought to prevent her at pre sent from allying herself with Russia. The homo geneousness whim united her to the Cabinet of St. Petersbur g disappeared at the same time as the affinities u'hich bring her closer to the West became apparent. - It - is - Austria, now who in the order of providential destinies has the mission to inoculate ' the Russian people with the liberal virus which we infiltrated into her veins by our armies, books, and journals. Thus, the doubt which existed in conse quence of the terrible prophecy of the martyr of ' St. Helena will disappear. Europe will not be Cossack." Trustees. Richard Mathis, Esq., Q C., 31. P.

It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are minciples of personal management which cannot be violated without I leaning grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regrcit succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, hotv these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting °Moir bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, VI at there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. TheAnthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which haw. unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant empirics, who inflict greatwho arc induced to p lace faith in their pretensions . injury on those NERVOUS DEBILITv Brothers, and Co 23 P - may be had price 2s, of Messrs.

This annual display is one of the sights for which London Is cele brated. The prmuctions of the country and the wonders of the world centre in the metropolis. Science, art, manufactures, and agriculture are represented in the City—there their best samples are shown and sold. The visitors to the Cattle Show never omit their visits to the establishments of E. MOSES and SON, and their West-end Branch has an overwhelming share of patrons ;e• E. NOSES and Sow have the greatest pleasure In submitting their establlshments sad their manufactures to the inspection of r'l ':sitars, and feel themselves honoured by a careful observation of their stock and commercial arrangements, well aware that their business neads only to be un derstood to be appreciated, and fully t. mvineed that the prize pro ductions of all countries are incorporated with their own manu facture. It Is as impossible to particularise - the variety of styles, excel lences, and points of superiority in their manufacture, as it Is by words to convey an adequate impression of the cheapness of their goods. It is only necessary to remark that E. MOSES and Son are the first in new inventions for attire, the most punctual in their business transactions, and the most successful in secaring to their patrons and the public the best articles at the mo t rea,onable charges. N. MOSES and Sow have added to their Oxford-.trcet Branch a Hosiery Department, elaborately fernish:d with articles of the most elegant manufacture, and of the most useful kind.

CAUTION,—E. MOAEi and SON regret having to guard the Public against imposition, having learned that the nntradesman-like falsehooi of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have NOCONNEZION WITII ANT MIEN.

In the midst of the formidable elements which shake Europe to her foundation and move so pro foundly public opinion, the attention of statesmen and of thinkers is anxiously directed towards Aus tria, that mysterious power whose resolutions have remained so long impenetrable. At last behold a treaty is signed. Great delight at the Bourse. " Austria has decided on siding with the West," say some ; "No, no," say others ; " this treaty is subjected to such conditions that it will not be of any bona fide effect." What, then, is the explana tion of the enigma ? We certainly cannot define it. We live at a period when there is nothing to gain by playing the prophet, even when it is done in one's own country. And so we will wait pa tiently for the clauses to be known. We only wish to demonstrate here, by the simple statement of some facts not much inquired into amongst us, that the irresistible power of ideas and of modern principles draws Austria more and more within the orbit of civilisation and progress. Not that we consider the Government of Austria as having liberal tendencies, but we think that the move ment of men's minds in Germany will force it to draw nearer to us ; we think that the real inte rests of Austria and of all Germany will bring them towards us, and will withdraw them from Rus sia. Our opinion will be shared by all those per sons who will closely examine the immense • movement of revolution which is taking place in Austria, since 1848, a movement commenced by the people, and of which the Government has been forced to assume the direction. Thus all Germany, and in particular Austria, has abo lished the feudal system. She has done, under the influence of our revolution of February, what we effected in France in 1789, with this difference that we, in abolishing the feudal rights, showed that impetuosity which characterises the French organisation, whilst Germany attained the same end with the methodical calm which characterises the German temperament. How few persons in France imagine that the Austrian Government, so cold and cautious, has been led by the sole power of an idea, to occupy itself for five or six years with the most liberal task that a nation can undertake, that of its internal emancipation, and that the Austrian monarchy has been forced to devote to that work its most precious resources? The most marked glorification that has been given for sixty years . to the principles of 1789 has emanated from Austria,r and, in truth, that fact is a marvellous sabject for rtea reflection. The Grand Army, under the B d on r o a n n es , Hocnes Marcitaux, N ey-s, Murats, marked ' their way through Europe, and n left there the seeds of revolution. The flag of emancipated France made the tour of the world : The Emperor, notwithstanding all his genius, mistook the range and object of his m i s sion, he sowed the , seed, and thought he could at . on ce reap the harvest ; he thought he was forming a serious alliance with Austria because be married an archduchess. The i mos t obscure citizen was aware that t is impos sible to combine contrary elements, such a s fi re and water, for instance.' The all-powerful Empe ror, the profound thinker who astonished the In stitute and the Council of State by the lucidity of his views, never suspected that it was impossible to contract a bona fide alliance between a country which had freed itself from feudal rights and pri vileges, and a country which still was subject to them. And what was the consequence ? This, that Austria went where her traditions led her. Tho Cabinet of Vienna betrayed without the slightest scruple the.modern Ctsar and the daughter of the old Cesar. Napoleon succumbed. From 1315 to 1848 Germany was watched over by her 1 zings, princes, grand-dukes, and margraves, as Bar tholo watched over Ilosina. Fiance was placed. und-er ban, the German poets sang the Rhine, and defied us to take it again. During that time the 'corn P ROMOTIONS. Commander Richard A. Oliver (1844), recently serv ing in the Monarch, 84, when on the Baltic Station, is promoted to tie Captain. Commander Geo. Parker (1849), serving is command of the Barracouta, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, on tke East Indies Station, to be Captain. -- RETURN OF THE BALTIC FLEET. Two more screw-ships of the line have arrived from the Baltic. St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw, Captain the lion. Henry Keppel, arrived at Devonport yesterday morning, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Seymour. James Watt, 91, screw, Capt. George Elliot, arrived yesterday morning at Spithead, 14 days from the Mtn,. She met witk bad weather, and put back to a Norwe gian port. Captain Elliot landed to report himself t•o the Commander-in Chief, and awaits orders from th.e Admiralty. Sir Charles Napier, the Commander-in-Chief, in his flag-ship the Duke of Wellington, left Kiel Harbour on the sth ins t., for England. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP HIMALAYA AT MALTA. MALTA, Dec. 2.—By the arrival here on the 30tb, from the East, of her Majesty's steam-ship Himalaya, news has reached from Constantinople is the 25th, on which day, in the evening, in company of the Cambria, she left. The Cambria was ordered by Admiral Boxer to attend the Himalaya in case she met with bad wee,- ther, when, in consequence of her shaft working loose in the outer bearing, it was not considered safe to work her uuder steam, except in smooth water. Upon her being thoroughly examined, and probably tried here, when some sea is on, it will be decided whether she can be prudently sent to England, where a new shaft and fa* are ready for her, during the present uncertain season of the year. It is much to be regretted that though die notice of her increasing defects has from time to time been given to the proper authorities in the Bosphorus and Black Sea, by her commander and chief engineer, her services could not be dispensed with at a time when she could have gone with safety to Southampton, and been put, in a short time, into an efficient state of repair, and in consequence of her continuing to perfyrin her several voyages, the defect has at length obliged her to corns here, and probably to proceed to England. From the time the Himalaya was first engaged in the conveyance of troops (February,) she has ran a distance of 22,000 miles to the present time, and carried from England to Malta and the Crimea 5557 officers and men, and 1684 horses, with a loss of 4 only, 2 from diseased lungs, and 2 that were shot, a marked tendency to glanders having rendered such a measure imperative; so that, although the temporary loss to the Govern ment of her services is much to be regretted at the present time, her past performances are a sufficient gua rantee of what she will be enabled again to accomplish. when supplied with her new shaft. Captain Kellock has been compelled to resign the command, his health having given way in the Black Sea, before the harassing and anxious duties that he so successfully and satisfactorily accomplished. He is succeeded by Captain Russell, one of the most experienced commanders' in the Mediterra nean and the Black Sea, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, selected by the directors, in accordance with the request of the Loris of the Admiralty, that they would appoint another officer to fill the important post ; she arrived here under the command of Captain Russell. Several sick and wounded officers have arrived by the Himalaya. The Himalaya spoke No. 22 transport off Tenedos ; the True Briton in the Dero passage ; and a Canard steamer full of troops, 90 miles east of Malta. She en countered a heavy gale from the west, with a heavy Des running between Cape Matapan and Malta. Captain Kellock will proceed through France to Eng land. The Alipore arrived on the 30th. She had on board draughts of the 3d, 14th, and 62d Regiments. 3d, Capt. Hood, Assistant-Surgeon D. Wyer, 61 rank and file ; 14th, Ensign Graham, and 54 rank and file ; 62d, Lieu tenant Wombwell, and 107 rank and file. The 14th, the only regiment in Malta, has received orders to hold themselves in readiness for the Crimea, and will leave on the arrival of the 91st, daily expected from England. THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. Yesterday morning, at four o'clock, the steam•sbip the Empress, about 300 tons burden, left the London Docks, with stores for the French troops in the hospi tals at Scutari and in the Crimea. The cargo consisted principally of medicine and clothing. In the course of the afternoon, y es t er d ay, t h e Army and Navy steaut vessel left the docks for the same destination with so, cargo of provisions, also on account of the French Go vernment. Yesterday the . French ship Breslau was off Spithead, having arrived to embark wooden huts for the Crimea. Yesterday the steamer Norman sailed from Brixham, aad the Alma steamer from Cowes, both laden with wooden huts for the Crimea, they having been forced back by stress of weather. a a r n b d o A ur ls o te n r s s t u ea n m day tra e n ve sp n o in r a ts , a t !: rivTedheiLn Lady yortFsmraonkutln harbour embark stores and w ooden huts fur the Black Sea.
