Germany appears to be destined to suffer from an interminable series of embarrassments. At the mo ment when additional calamities have fallen upon the Confederation in consequence of the mal-administra tion of affairs in Hesse-Cassel, the nation is startled by new di,:asters arising out of its Quixotic enterprise in behalf of the Schleswig-Holateiners. That enterprise has met with its just retribution. The war of spolia tion has been attended, from its commencement up to the present moment only by discomfiture. Denmark has proved true to its ancient and glorious reputa tion. Attacked by the soldiers of the German al liance, the SOVEREIGN of that venerable and chivalric monarchy has found himself aided by the unconquer able valour of the Danish lieges, and by the loyal devotion of the Government of Copenhagen. His armies have fought in every encounter with that daunt less hardihood befitting the custodians of the Baltic, and by a series of brilliant strategic manoeuvres have wrested from a superior force all the principal strongholds of Jatland. Their prowess in this regard has, in some measure, been alone comparable to that evincad ,by the brave Hungarians when, retreating slowly , stAly by step to the rallying point of De breezin, they at length responded to the signal of attack by hurriedly driving back the invaders beyond the frontiers of their outraged dominion. •Acting upon a scheme of campaign similar to that adopted by t he 11l qyars, the Danish forces withdrew at first to the , n..rtneni extrrtnity of the peninsula, and then by a sutl.ltn and sinialtuneoui movement southwards coitydlt,l their z.lntagonit,ts to retire with precipita tion. (dice curnmei.eed, tht: retribttive vengeance rk Aked kipen tkic iirrnalnt xiti has been con- . • t:nu d u;ii.iter;uptedly.

From the dis • patches of General Wenusern the Commander-in- Chief of the army bombarding the city, it would appear .indeed that the success of the panes in this last struggle against their antagonists has been as great as it has proved sanguinary. The storming party has been driven back with a loss, according to the lowest estimate of 400, according to the highest of 700, the actual number -being most probably inter mediate. From about half-past five o'clock in the evening of the 4th, until midnight, the firing con tinuedalniost unremittingly—the Germans advancing upon .Friederichstadt in three columns, one by the Seeth-marsh, another by the Treene-dyke, and the third by the Eyder•dyke. In each instance the ad vanoieg battalions were repulsed with slaughter, the insurgent troopers being at length compelled to take up their original position, and leave the city in the possession of its valiant defenders. Taking the report of General WILLISEN to the Staathalterschaft as the text of our observations, the Danes have in every detail of the encounter proved themselves es dauntless as they are actually victorious. Speaking of his own troops, he says, they executed the attack with "distinguished bravery"—consequently the' victors must have fought with proportionately yet greater energy. Indeed the German Commander in-Chief acknowledges as much when he observes that `f the enemy conducted his defence with coolness and determination." Summing up the whole results of this eventful day, General WILLISEN says that it " will have no decisive effect on the operations of the war," proving by, so many syllables that it already appeared to himself most disastrous. One passage in this report to the Staathalterschaft we cannot but view as a melancholy token-of the ferocity engendered by warfare. We recommend it seriously to the consideration of the Peace Society. It is where the defeated • Captain writes, almost as it were incidentally, and with a scarcely suppressed exultation—an exultation but partially concealed by a pretence of commiseration—" Unhappily, it was impossible to avoid setting fire to the place, and a great part of the unfortunate town is destroyed." A similar affectation of sentiment might have In en displayed by the burglars at the Frimley vicarage, if they had exclaimed, , when escaping from their bootless attempt at robbery—" Unhappily, it was impossible to avoid firing in the confusion, and the unfortunate clergy man, the master of the house, is destroyed." When iti is remembered that the Danes, in defending Friederichstadt, were only defending their inalienable right?, their property, and their independence from the grasp of lawless and pitiless spoliators, it becomes sickening to bear the leader of this army of pil lagers thus commemorating the wanton destruction perpetrated during the bombardment. So important is the new disaster which has just befallen the Schleswig-Ilolstein armament under the walls of Friederichstadt, even in their own estimation, that their Diet has immediately authorised- the Staathalterschaft to inhrease the number of troops by new enlistments, and has placed an additional sum of 3,292,687 marks at. the disposal of the War Department. It becomes manifest, consequently, that the pertinacious course which has been pursued thus obstinately during no less than three years in succession, will be persisted in by the German confederates, unless the great European powers interpose at length to prevent the continuance of such unnecessary carnage., That some such beneficent interference wily take place we are sanguine, seeing that rthe war against Denmark is one so notoriously unjust and execra ble, that its iniquity has been asserted by the Republican rulers of France, by his Majesty the Russian AUTOCRAT, and by the Liberal Government of England, represented in the Foreign Department by. Lord. VALMERSTON. Surely the atrocity of the at tack must be great indeed, when the criminality of the insurgent Schleswig-Holsteincrs combines toge ther in one opinion men of such different sentiments and states of such incongruous characters. It must belborne in recollectiun o moreover, that the gallant Danes have earned for themselves the sympathy. of the European Governments by the loyalty, the valour, an the self-sacrificing enthusiasm with which they have sustained the cause of their SOVEREIGN. Gladly should we learn that the chivalrous defence of ' Friederichstadt was the last warlike exploit which the soldiers c.f Denmark were required to ac cornplish in vindication of their national independence. 1114tters might then revert to their original position. Schleswig would still remain, as it has done from tide immemorial, an integral portion of the Danish te4itory ; Holstein would still continue to acknow ledge the King of DENMARK. as her Ducal Chieftain, while herself remaining at the same time a member of the Germaa Canfederation ; and the latter would the be enabled to dedicate her enormous energies, no to the lawless spoliation of her neighbours, but to the august work of her own social and political re ge eration. . The happy, careless schoolboy, the careworn, toiling lawyer, alike enjoy their vacations. At those welcome periods books and cares are flung to the winds. The grave, used-up senator, after months of midnight legislation, enjoys his Parliamentary recess ; the spruce official of the Treasury enjoys his six weeks' tour ; while the plodding cit tries to forget the schemes and speculations of the counting-house in the peaceful repose of some sea-side villa. There is a seaso❑ of rest and recreation for all save the hapless editor. Even now, when the romantic hills of Scot land and the rich vallies of merry England re- echo the spirit-stiring sounds of the rifle and the fowling-piece, and while our Hibernian friends are in full chase after the great " sea-serpent" round the coast of the Emerald Isle, alas ! still here we ure plying our toil some and eternal task, exercising our ingenuity to eke out of the dull round of passing events some sub ject of interest—a matter of no ordinary difficulty even with the most microscopic eye. The hippototamus has ceased to be a novelty, and even the sea-serpent—that monster myth of our face tious fellow-subjects of the sister isle—is become a thrice-told tale. The grumblings of the Protectionists are drowned in the operations of a fruitful harvest ; the cry for repeal is too faint to be heard beyond the precincts of that little place miscalled CONCILIATION HALL, and the Chartists have ceased to talk of fighting. Indeed, the whole political world is just now as dull and calm as any nervous old lady could desire; yet at no season can the public journalist exercise his high calling with greater efficiency. In the lull of party and of passion he can with greater facility lead the public mind to the calm con sideration of such questions a; concern the common weal. In such a season of tranquillity the better feelings have full play, and all are less likely to be affected by sordid and selfish influences than when the angry elements of the political atmosphere are in agitation. Impressed with the importance of the mo ment, we would then call the attention of the people and ot the Legislature to those measures of deep import ance likely to come under the consideration of Parlia ment early in the coming session. We very willingly give credit to the Government for having carried many enactments of deep public interest during the last session; and we have no doubt many other useful measures then before Par liament would also have become law were it not for the ill-timed introduction of the discussion on our foreign policy—a discussion forced on both Houses at an advanced period of the session, in the bitterest spirit of fiction, without any other apparent object than the damnification of an able Minister, and the ob,tructiun of the public business. tide can look with feelings of gratif►cation to the successful issue of such whelcsoim and necessary alis as that for Austra,li,►n self-government, the Extramural Internmits Bill, the Bill for the regula tion and amendment of our mercantile marine, the issue of Ihe Royal Commission to inquire into the stAte of the Universities. We must also rejoice at the discomfiture of the pha risaical Sabbatarians, yet we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that much has been loft undone. No meet provision has been made for tie general education of the people; the common air and light of heaven are partially shut out by reason of the window-tai remaining still unrepealed ; the principles of citiil nod religious liberty cannot be fully recognized or car ried out while the Jew remains disqualified to enjoy the rights and privileges of free citizenship ; tl - e English franchise imperatively demands extension; the affairs of our Ceylon colony must be adjusted ; railway audits must be placed under proper control ; and there is scarcely any department of the law which does not require practical reform. These are the measures to which we would call the attention of the people of England ; they are measures which must receive the attention of the Legislature in the next session of Parliament, and upon which the public mind should be prepared and instructed. We shall, per haps, refer to them more in detail on some future oc casion. Just now our attention naturally turns to the great difficulty—lreland. England has no doubt many social and political grievances to redress. But it is the unfortunate story of the fair land of Ireland that has ever " blotted the leaves" of British history. The richness of her soil, and the sufferings of her people, have been for ages the themes of praise and pity throughout Europe; while the anomalous state of her social and physical condition has imperilled the fame of every statesman from STRAFFOED to Lord CLARENDON. No doubt the Irish Elective Franchise Bill will make some ad dition to the present number of electors, but nothing like a just or fair proportion comparatively with her population and resources, and one totally inadequate to any emended system of constitutional representa tion. The Security for Advances Bill, with some few amendments, we should like to see receive the sanc tion of Parliament, as we think it would eminently tea(' to secure the efficiency of the Bill for the Sale of Encumbered Estates. Of the Bill for the Sale of Encumbered Estates our opinion has been fully and frequently given to the public. We fully agreed in the wisdom and policy of a measure which we thought calculated to exchange an embarrassed proprietary for a wealthy one by a cheap, simple, and speedy process. We indulged in the sanguine hope that English capital would have flowed into Ireland, but up to this moment we have been unable to discover that any English capitalist has vested a single shilling in any purchase under the provisions of this Bill, and we have seen that sales in several eases could be effected by the entire sacrifice of the interest of both the inheritor and puisne creditor. Upon this subject we have seen a most startling manifesto from Mr. THOMAS O'BaIEN, late stipendiary magistrate for the North Riding of Tipperary, addressed " to the Tenantry of Fairfield, Kilmore, and Cloyboy." It may be natural that Mr. O'BRIEN should feel sore at the prospect of losing the ancient in heritance of hi 3 fathers, but we think he has pursued a very unwise course in issuing to his tenantry this inflammatory and incautious document. If the -pro perty of Mr. O'BRIEN be in the market, and must be sold, surely it is most imprudent to stick up thi s scarecrow to frighten away purchasers already to o timid. It is notorious that Englishmen have hitherto refrained from investing money in Ireland from the strong notion that life and property are . not suffi ciently secure in that unfortunate country, and we must say that Mr. O ' BRIEN ' S appeal to the feudal feelings of his excitable tenantry will not by any means tend to remove this feeling from the minds of cautious Englishmen. Indeed we will candidly con fess that we should deem him a bold man who would, under the circumstances, bid for Fairfield, and we cannot for the life of us see how this can at all sub serve the interest of either creditor or inheritor. "'To await the coming of the stranger at the old gate way during the short days and long nights" is, in deed, but small inducement to the capitalist, and we trust Mr. O ' BRIEN will either disavow the document or re-consider his rash resolves. Our space will not permit us to-day to enter into the consideration of the monster grievance of Ireland—that griev ance which nearly absorbs all others in the magnitude of its importance the land ques tion; for until the relations between land lords and tenants be fully and fairly adjusted, by the interposition of Parliarnent, there can be no hope of peace or prosperity in that ill-fated land. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,-1 enclose my card, and beg to offer 10/..to wards a subscription for offering a reward for the dis covery of the other policeman who was engaged with S-rgeant Eaton Bushell in the horrible murder which was perpetrated on the uncffending young man Geary ; and I bt g to suggest that all the news papers in London give the case as it appeared at the time in which this infamous transaction took place, and the name of the magistrate who was on the bench on that occasion.—l Bth, Sir, &c., Pamsgate, Oct. 8, 1850. P. MONTGOMERYSHIRE ELECTION.—The election of a Member for the representation of the county of Montgo mery, in the room of the late Right Hon. Charles Wynn, has been proclaimed to take place at the Shire-hall, Machyn lleth, on the llth inst. (Friday next). The only candidate that has appeared is Mr. Herbert Watkin Williams Wynn, nephew of the deceased Member. Mr. Wynn comes forward on the Conservative interest, and it is understood that his election will be entirely without opposition. DESTRUCTION OF A LARGE STEAMER BY FIRE.— By the arrival in the river yesterday of the William. Mr. Barras, master, from Quebec, the authorities at Lloyd's have received intelligence of a large •sized steam-ship being de stroyed by fire on the banks of Newfoundland on the night of the 13th ult. Unfortunately the name of the ill-fatQd ves sel has not been ascertained, or whether the passengers and crew succeeded in preserving themselves. _ . MEMORIAL TO THE LATE BARONESS ROTHSCLIILD. —At a public meeting, held last evening at the Sussex Hall, Leadenh all. street, an address of condolence was voted to Baron Lionel de Roth :.AU, ➢1.1'., on the death of the Baroness de Rothschild; and it was also resolved to found by subscrip tion a perpetual scholarship in the Jewish Free School, to be called " The Hannah Rothschild Scholarship," in commemo ration of the deceased lady. ne sad' the W , 11 d E c of x O ci e r to b 'r e t r i in the county of Gl oucester, M r . J ames Ingram, proprietor and landlord of the F ox I nn, i n t h at village. Mr. Ingram was 93 years of age, a n d was t h e l ast surv i vor o f the crew of , E R died ° a Y t A l ,L V G oo E dfo li rd GE n .—On —Bnerl Wed ay, Berkeley, the Royal George, which sank at Spithead on Aug. 19, 1782. His escape on that memorable occasion was almost mi raculous; be was below at the time the vessel capsized, but was fortunate enough to get out at one of the port-holes. As he was swimming to the shore one of the persons who was on board at the time of the accident, and who, like himself, was struggling for life, caught hold of his foot and dragged him towards the bottom. By a desperate effort he freed himself from the deadly grasp, one of his shoes having come oil in the struggle, and by this means he was released from his perilous situation ; the other shoe he retained as a relic to his dying day. Before reaching the shore he saw a wo man struggling in the water, and being an expert swimmer he brought her safely to land with him. Mr. Ingram had seen a great deal of service, having been at the siege of Gi braltar when it was attacked by the combined fleets of France and Spain, and also in many naval actions. His sight and health were remarkably good up to within a short time of his death. Deceased was well known to travellers on the old coach road from Gloucester to Bristol, as the coachmen used frequently to pull up to allow their passengers to see a veteran whose life had been marked by so miraculous an incident. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The steam-ship Diana, arrived from Harlingen, has brought 253 pigs as a part of her cargo, which is the largest importation of this description of live stock that has taken place from the continental state of Eu rope on one occasion, in addition to 110 beasts, 89 calves, 850 sheep, and general provisions, altogether a very large cargo of Dutch produce; and the steam-ship Tiger, just arrived also, from Tonningen, has brought the extraordinary large number of 235 head of oxen and cows, and also 20 sheep, the produce of Denmark. LORD BROUGHAM AND THE SOLWAY AUT.—PEN EITH, TUESDAY, OCr. 8. - The illegal netting transaction which took place on the 16th ult., at Nine Kirk Holme, in the river Eamont,. and which created so muc h i nterest and exc i t ement, was in's day brought to a fi na l term i nation, so far as the magistrates are cnneerned. It will b e remem bered that on the investigation of the aff a i r at t h e P etty Ses sions held at Penrith on the 24th ult. five informations (amongst others under different Acts of Parliament) under the Solway Act were preferred against Lord Brougham's party for using an illegal net in the river Eamont, and that one of them, according to an arrangement between the par ties, was only investigated, and that the magistrates took time to consider the evidence and to give their decision, which, before a full bench of magistrates, was delivered by the Rev. W. 11. Milner, vicar of Penrith, at great length. The result was that Armstrong, one of Lord Brougham's party, was fined 51. ander the Solway Act. CAUTION TO STEAM-BOAT PASSENGERS.—On Tuesday evening Mrs. Anne Coleman, of :30. Queen-street, Ilorselydown, S ou th war k, was l an di ng a t th e London-bridge Steam-packet 'Wharf from a steamer, when in her anxiety to get ashore before the vessel was properly secured, she slipped overboard between the vessel and dummy, and (ming to the darkness sunk and was drowned. She has left a numerous family to regret her untimely end. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—On Tuesday evening, as early as a quarter -past nine o'clock, a middle-aged gen tleman, in passim , . through Great George-street, West minster, was hustled by a path: of men and a N+ Oman, in ap pearat.ce a servant-girl. The woman pretended to be an iloyed at the Jude joke of being thrust against the gentle man. lie was thrown to the ground, and in falling thought lie observed the party making oil in ditlerent directions. As ,u on as Le recovered his feet he found one of his hands and one leg above the knee were considerably bruised, and, on looking for his purse, that it was still in his pocket, but that his watch, an antique repeating one, and a small dark eor nelian gull seal, attached 1.3 , a ribbon to it, were gone. From the indistinctness of his recollection of how long he was upon the ground, though probably nly part of a minute, it is supposed that chloroform or s o m e s i m i larly deleterious agen t was used in aid of the dexterou s h an d t h at stole the watch. GRERNLAn) EtsnEwr.—The Eclipse arrived at Peterhead un Saturday, being th e l ast of the Buchan fleet from Greenland. The Eclipse has 10 whales, 95 tuns of oil, and a trilling number of seals. The Greenland fishing has been very successful this season, and the consequence is, that a decided impetus has been given to the trade, no fewer than four new vessels being added to the fleet for the coming year. Tfi TEITTRSDA Y EVENT NG I OCTOBER lO, 1850,, TEE FEE CH RE P C . We have received the Paris journals of yo , terday. The Committee of Permanence, dissatisfied with the explanations of General DITAUTPOTIL regarding the seditious cries raised by the soldiers at the review, and with his refusal to issue a general order On the subject, and distrusting his assurances that measures should be taken to prevent a recurrence of the scandal, deputed three of their members to wait on the PRE SIDENT at the Elysee, to request him to countermand the review fixed ior the lOtTh inst. The PRESIDENT declared that it was impossible to comply with this request, but pledged himself that nothing should occur *to occasion the slightest uneasiness. It appears that General D'HAUTPOUL at first treated the interro gations of the Committee with unbecoming levity, and was even so unguarded as to give the fullowieg reply to M. DUPIN'i interrogatory :—" Similar questions are asked in the Charivari. They are there in their pro per place, and you ought to leave them there." This answer drew forth a severe rebuke, both from M. ODILLon BARROT and M, DUPIN. The latter said " Monsieur le Ministre—La legerete de vos paroles n'est pas faite pour nous rassurer." (The levity of your answer is not calculated to restore our confidence). General D'HAUTPOUL then assured the Committee that no sfditious cry had been uttered in his presence. The PRESIDENT of the Assembly asked General D'lLeuTroun if he did not think that the cry of " A has le President!" was a seditious cry, and whether, in the event of its being uttered by the soldiers, he , would not only not tolerate it, but would take the most severe measure to enforce respect for discipline and for the Constitution ? If that was the case—and he could not doubt it—the cry of "Vive l'Empereur" was fully as seditious as that of " A bus le President. The Minister of War -replied that he had not heard the cry of " Vive l'Empereur !" that, besides that, he thoroughly disapproved of any such cry, and that he could not imagine that the Committee could suppose that he had authorised any cry of the kind. Addressing himself to General CRANGARNIER, the Minister added—" Let the Coinmander-in-Chief of the army of Paris be asked the question if he (General CHANGARNIER)gave any such permission or authority?" General CUANGARNIER begged General D'HAUT- P in O - U c L hi t e O f 0 0 f b s t e h r e v e a r t m h a y t, o i f n p h a i r s i i a t 1 i t w y a s o f n o C t o m b e n f l o a r n e d t e h r e - Committee of Prorogation that he was bound to give explanations to the Mipister of War; and that, in his quality of representative and of member of the Com mittee, the Minister had no right to put any such question to him. General DE LAMORICIERE then addressed the meeting, and demanded of the Minister of War what "he intended to do , as respected the future, and suggested . that the Minister of War should issue an order of the day reminding the troops of the ,ne• cessity of respecting discipline, and the law. General D'HAUTPOUL, however, peremptorily refused to issue any order of the day, and contented himself with re newing to the C omm ittee his protestations that he blamed the cry which created so much uneasiness and susceptibility, and he promised that no seditious cla mours should henceforth be uttered by the soldiers, or tolerated by him. The Committee took note of the protestations and promises of the Minister, and recorded them on their minutes. It would seem to be the fate of the several aspirants to monarchical or quasi-monarchical power in France, to have their respective causes irretrievably damaged by the blunders of their supporters. General D'HAUT POUL is the BARTHELEMY of the Bonapartists, and his conduct before the Committee is as damaging to Louis NAPOLEON as was the circular of Wiesbaden to the Cotnte DE CHAMBORD. As though to back up the blunders of General D'HAUTPOUL, we have a re velation made us by the new law of the press, which shows the poverty of the intellectual support at the service of the PRESIDENT. Tbere is a long article in the Pouvoir, full of abuse of the Committee of Permanence, and of fulsome eulogy of the PRESIDENT. This article, which extends over three colt mns,is signed GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC; and in the Constitutionnel we find an article of four co lumns on the same subject, similarly signed. M. GRANIER DE CASSAGNAC was, it will be recollected, the editor of M. GuizoT's journal, the Epoque; and the gentleman at whose house, and with whose pistols the "practice" took place before the fatal duel between DUJARRIEH and DE BEAUVALLET ; in connexion with which duel the Viscomte D'ECCOILLEVY, GRANIEE DE C ASV AG N Ac's friend, was convicted of perjury; during the course of whose trial GEANIER DE CASSAGNAC him self was severly reprimanded by the court for at tempting to intimidate the witnesses for the prosecu tion by threats of violence. The advocacy of this gentleman is not calculated to promote the interest of any cause. Louis NAPOLEON may with truth exclaim " Save me from my friends." Each day brings forth its press prosecution for a violation of the Tinguy and Laboullie clause ; the Univers is to-day to be added to the list of the pro secuted. The whole of the fleet at Cherbourg ha sailed fur Brest. The ship of the line La Ville de Paris was launched at Rcchefort on Saturday, with full success, and with extraordinary pomp. There were more than 2,000 people present. The Nepaulese Ambassador arrived at Marseilles on Saturday lab.t. PARIS BOURSE, OCT. Q.—Latest.

The Cologne Gazette states the loss of the Schles wig Holstein army, in the late unsuccessful attack upon Friederckstadt, to have been at least 500 men. Up to the 7th there had been brought into the hos pitah cf _A Itona 161 wounded. The Gth battalion penetrated into the town, and reached the Deck house, from whence it was driven back with terrific loss. The Schleswig-Holstein army occupied its old position on the 7th, but it was supposed they would withdraw, as they Cannot complete the investment of the place so as to cut off its communication with the main body of the Danish army. HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE STATES-GENERAL. The opening of the Assembly of the States-Gene ral of Holland took place at the Hague on the 7th instant. his MAJESTY pronounced the following speech : " I am happy to behold myself once more surrounded by the elect c f the people. " Our relations with foreign Powers continue on a friendly footing. " In the cl.fliculties which have arisen in Germany, as regards Limburg, we follow the steps indicated by treaties and the interests of the Netherlands. " Our foreign trade is prosperous. The recent changes in our navigei ion laws will, w e flatter ouvelves, serve not only to increase our own energies, but they will strengthen the bonds of good will and fruitful relations with other Powers. • " The Republic of Venezuela, conformable to the commercial policy recently adopted by that state, has denounced the treaties of commerce and navigation with the Netherlesnds. The Government endeavours to ob viate any prejudice that might arise from that measure to our commerce. Meantime, that Republic has satis fied the claims and complaints addressed to it by us on other causes. " The army and navy honourably fulfil their duties. "A law on the salaries and pensions, advancement, and retirement of military officers, will be submmitted to you. " Suitable reductions in the naval administrations and establishments will provide means for increasing our naval force next year without additional outlay. "Preparatory measures, which promise good results, have been adopted far the formation of a better system et national defence; that question has been the objEct of my solicitude for some time. " The state of our colonial possessions is satisfactory. Projects of law for the regulation of our colonial inte rests will be presented during the session, according to the fundamentAl law. "The position of affairs at home is of a nature to in spire us with courage and satisfaction. A reduction in the price of many of the principal articles of food, in consequence of the abundant harvest of last year, has greatly contributed to the relief of the poorer classes. " Some districts have suffered considerably from storms and inundations during the winter of last year. These disasters, which, thanks to Providence, spared other districts which were threatened, brought forward public benevolence in its brightest aspect. This assist ance, which. I invoked, gave relief wherever relief was wanted, and those unfortunates who could not help themselves were indemnified for their losses as much as possible. " If, according to anticipatory reports, the harvest this year is only a middling one, other symptoms of a more stable nature present themselves. " The cultivation of waste land continues uninter rupted; agriculture, generally speaking, is making pro gress scientifically and in production; development is visible in our trades and manufactures; many branches are in a flourishing condition; the means of communi cation by land and by water are constantly increased, and favour the growing activity of our internal com merce. " I am seriously occupied with plans for facilitating our communic aims with neighbouring states by the ap plication of the invention of modern seiepce (railways). I shall ask your aid for this purpose during the present session. " The state of our rivers demand precautionary mea sures and suitable improvements. In the budget which will be shortly presented to you this question will be especially recommended to your particular attention. " Bills are ready on the communal law, on the poor• laws, and expropriation, on the grounds of public uti lity. These Bills will be presented to you without delay, as also Bills on the right of meeting and association, on Ministerial responsibility, and the new judicial orga nizAtion. " The new provincial representation which has as• sembled in all the provinces has zealously commenced the important task entrusted to it. " The situation of our finances is sati.factory. Nearly all the sources of the revenue of the kingdom respond largely to the - provisions. This circumstance, added to the, results of an economical administration, holds out the prospect, unless unforeseen _events should occur, that the excess of the budget will amply cover the remainder of the deficit of a previous year. Bills will be presented to you for a reform in the system of taxes, and of the execution of Articles 122 and 176 of the fundamental law. "I confidently hope that, in the examination of all these important questions, you will give proofs of that spirit of union which, with the blessing of Providence, will enable us to accomplish what the country expects from us." On leaving the Assembly th© KING was loudly cheered. ITALY. The Gazzetta del Popolo of Turin, of the 4th, an nounces that the judicial authorities, have determined to proceed against a priest, named IiUMIANO, curate of Vfflar-Almese, by appeal for abuse (the same plea on which Monsignor FRANZONI has been exiled), for having refused the sacraments to Sig. GIUSEPPE DARIO, the tag-collector of that parish, for having contributed to the subscription for the monument to be raised in honour of the Siccardi law. Some time ago the Opinione, of Turin, mentioned an attempt of Monsignor CONTRATO, Bishop of Acqui, to punish a priest for having adhered to the Siccardi law. The facts of the case are as follows :—Advocate Cmtaozzr, a priest, one of the Syndics of the Com mune of Cassins; and Director of Public Instruction, had subscribed to the monument for the Siccardi law, and invited the municipality, of which he is president, to do the same. On hearing this, the Bishop of ACQUI summoned him to make a public recantation by declaring his conviction that his adhesion to the Siccardi law was contrary to the laws of the Church. Sig. CARROZZI demurred, upon which the Bishop wrote to him, enjoining him to have the required protest inserted in the Gazzetta del Popolo,within five days, on pain of suspension a divinis. Instead of complying with this injunction, Sig. CAR.. ROZZI had now appealed to the laws of the country against it, and we learn from the Opinione, of the 4 . h, that the Advocate-General of the Magistrate of Appeal of Monferrato has declared his intention of taking into serious consideration the case presented by Sig. CARROZZI. The position of Monsignor CON TRATTO is further aggravated by the circumstance of his having intimated to another priest, Don Mott- BELLI, who is not in the habit of saying mass, and who therefore would be little moved by a suspension a divinis, that he (the Bishop) would refuse him the Sacraments in case of an illness befalling him, because he, too, had subscribed to the Siccardi monument. The Opinione mentions several other similar cases that have occurred in the diocese of Fossano, Novaro, and Genoa. LORD COCKBURN.—We are happy to learn that the latest aceounts of his Lordship's health are favourable, his recovery being gradual, though necessarily tedious. We learn that his Lordship is expected to be able to undertake the journey homewards from Dumfries to-day or to morrow. HEALTH OF THE LORD ADVOCATE.—We under stand that while there is not much apparent improvement in his Lordship's health, he has been no worse during the last few days. Monday's account represented his Lordship as no better. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.--A quarterly meeting of the governors of the Royal Free Hospital was held yesterday in the board-room of the institution (Captain Roxburgh in the chair), when the report from the weekly board stated that 6,591 patients had been under treatment during the last quarter—that the expenditure had exceeded the income by 227/., but that the committee felt the strongest hope that, through the benevolence of the public, there would be no necessity for diminishing their sphere of usefulness. ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The usual monthly meeting of this society was held on Monday evening, Mr. G. R. Waterhouse, president, in the chair. Mr. Guyon and Mr. Potter were elected subscribers to the society. Mr. S. Stevens exhibited some beautiful new Lepidoptera he had received from Mr. Bates, from Ega, on the Upper Amazons; Mr. Shepherd exhibited specimens of Aphomia nuella, from Dover; Mr. Bond exhibited an Hermaphrodite, Arctia Caja, and a curious variety of Sphinx, Ligustri; Mr. Westwood exhibited a Coccinella Septem-punctata, and a Lepidopterous larva impaled on the thorns of furze bushes; these had been found in Scotland by Mr. Gould, and in this case they could not have been so impaled by shrikes, as those birds are not known to occur so far north. An extremely interesting paper by Mr. Newman, on the various ways different species of bees have of abstracting honey from snap-dragons, was then read. _ _ --- FATAL ACCIDENT.—WOOLIVICIf OCT. 9.—Abou half-past twelve o'clock yesterday a boat belonging to the Dolphin revenue cutter, containing five men, one a custom house officer and five rowers, when leaving a brig they had boarded off Woolwich Dockyard, cast off at the moment the Sylph, Woolwich Company's stea m- packet, was approaching, and before the boat could get out of the way arid the steamer eased, it was cut in two, and the whole of the men went under the wheel of the steamer. Four of the men were saved with the as,istance of the boat belonging to her Ma jesty's dockyard lighter the Ann, and taken on board the Lightning steam-vessel. One of the men, namzd Manning, was drowned, aod cno her severely hurt. There is no blame whatever attached to the Sylph, as her captain and crew did all in their power, under .the circumstances, to avert the melancholy ,ccident. The drowned man has left a wife and three children to lament his less, and the body has not yet been found. THE FRIMT.EY MURDER.—We have been informed that in the chain of evidence accumulating against the parties in custody for this atrocious crime, not the least important will be the incident that a token, which might be mistaken for a penny, has been found on one of thorn, and can be iden tified by Mrs. Holiest as haying been given to her the day before by the village schoolmistress. COLOSSEUM.—The PlAlorarna of Paris, which has been so attractive, is about sborily to be removed, to be re placed by another picture by Danson and Sons, and which is now in a state of great forwardness. We would, therefore, strongly recommend a visit to this extraordinary work of art before its final removal. ONLY arid COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The, , ales of C tton et L.verpool yesterday were esti r:ated at 5,000 bales. The market closed with more animation, and prices of ali kinds were firm. The sales too:prised 200 Pern,m and Mart - Alban:l at 7icl. to Eqd.; 150 Bahia at 811., 200 Egyptian at 8: 1 ;d. to 9d., 400 Surat at 57L to 63., :Ind the remainder American.—ln Railwmy Shares a good business was done, but the market closed rather easier. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 425. 10d. per quarter, and the sales officially reported last week amounted to 117,025 qrs. Accounts have been received from South Australia ky a vessel arrived direct to the 10th June, and from Mait land to the 1 t June. The former colony was doing well, and there appears to have been full employment fur the labouring population. It is curious to remark, however, how much capital must be needed even in this flourishing possession, or how large must be the profits of trade, fur we find discounts quoted at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum, and the premium on gold two per cent. The rate of exchange at 30 days was 2 p,r cent. premium fur Bank bills on London. Burra Burrs shares were at 1591. From Maitland we learn that trade W. 13 rather dull, and that the newly arrived immigrants did no; iip, - ..etr to have found engagements so leadil as was oxi d. Samples of go ld bu been discovered in the Bathhurst district. The Amsterdam Bourse was heavy on the Bth instant, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Ceets. were 56 5 16. Alterations in the :•:wedish tariff, affecting principally Hemp and Flax, came into operation recently by virtue of a law passed July 18. A very curious development of the principle of assurance is centereplated at present, upon the basis of a plan tried with great success in France, b e in g - tie guaranteeing of debts, or assurances against failures, and which is rep resente d as h av i ng ren d ere d the greatest possible benefits to trade through an un paralleled period of commercial calamity. The precise objects are explained in the following supposed case:— "A credi:or under ordinary circumstances may be seriously embarrassed by the failure of a debtor, say to the extent of cue thousand pounds. It covered to a certain extent by a policy (the premium on which may be paid in the first instance by the creditor fur the sake of convenience, and charged by him to the account of the debtor), the creditor re ceives the insured proportion of his debt from the company at the period stipulated in the policy, and gives, in exchange, an assignment of his claim on the estate of the debtor, with the option of selling to the company the dividend on the remaining portion of the account, which he had taken at his own risk ; for instance, a debtor fisili g to a creditor for 1,0001, and his estate being safely estimated to produce ss. in the pound—assuming two-thirds of the amount to have been covered by guarantee—the creditor would receive 750/., being the amount insured, in addi tion to the dividends on his own uncovered portion of the liability. The following results ensue : The widening circle of alarm and actual commer cial distress usually caused by re-action, receives at this early stage a timely and effectual check. The embarrassment of the insured creditor being prevented, his means and credit are maintained—a sacrifice of his property is avoided—his operatives are continued in employment, and his creditors receive protection by vir tue of his own insurance, whilst the essential moral restraint on the part of the insurer is still pre served, E 0 as to secure protection to the interests of the company. The necessary caution on the part of the company will be found to act beneficially to the in terests both on the part of the insurers and the insured. If a failure has resulted from an avoidable misfortune, the company will guarantee a resonable offer of • compo sition, fsr the purpose of winding up the estate in this form ; but not fur the purpose of carrying on the trade. The insolvent is spared the alter native of application to private friends for suretyship, and the creditors receive a speedier and larger dividend under composition than under bankruptcy. If gross fraud has been committed, the special clauses of the Bankrupt Act are enforced, not by the obnoxious oppnsitiiM of a private individual, but by the judicious interference of a public company. A credit or may hold no policy, and his debtor may become insolvent. The estate may be administered under assignment, com position, inspection, bankruptcy, or insolvency. The company would purchase the reversion of the dividend, assist the creditor in proof of debt, and take an assign ment of the future dividend." The East India and China Association have made up their stotement of the number of British ships entered inwards and cleared outwards from and to places within the limits of the East India Company's charter, from the Ist January to the 30th September, 1849 and 1850, and this shows an incrcase of 25,352 tons inwards, and 45,639 tons outwards. The English Funds are looking up, and have rallied full per rent. Consols have been done at 961 and 4, and are now 96:1 fur Transfer, and 97 buyers for Novem ber. The opinion is rather favourable in the market, Exchequer-bills have been quoted 655. to 685., and India Bonds 88s. to 89s. premium. Foreign Stocks have been very dull. Spanish Three per Cents. are nominally 381 5 -e, and the Five per Cents. 18i -a. Mexican Bonds have been at 311 Buenos Ayres have been 57i to 58i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 571 to 4. In answer to au inquiry from the Committee of Spa nish American Bondholders, Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and have stated that after completing the payment of the dividend due June, 1848, on New Grenada Bonds, they will have 6,2004 surplus, and they expect to realise a further small sum from the sale of some bullion, avail able for future dividends.
