FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1850. Next year Ministers will require from the national representa.ives a renewal of the income-tax, the most iniquitous and unpopular impost ever levied upon the multitude. It will be just as well, before this demand is laid before the House of Commons, for the advocates of economy to consider, a little more than they have done recently, the purposes to which the millions of money thus obtained from the very vitals of the national industry are dedicated. It will be judicious at least to contrast in some measure the luxu ries which much of this hard cash goes to swell with the necessities out of which it is wrung by the collector. We doubt not that in many instances such a scrutiny would result in showing two most lamentable and important facts—first, that among numerous classes of the population the payment of the income-tax is almost as bitter a grievance as if they had literally to " drop their blood for drachmas ;" and, secondly, that the recipients.of the . revenues thus accumulated are raised far above the want of any such superfluous disbursements. An announcement made within the last few days io our naval_ intelligence goes far to demon strate the shameless extravagance of the Exche quer in squandering among the opulent the moneys extorted --in the shape of such odious imposts as the income-tax from the pockets of the ne cessitous. Our more observant readers will not need to be reminded thatthe paragraph alluded to had reference to the promotion of his Grace the present Duke Of NORTHUMBERLAND to the rank of Rear- Admiral. In consequence of one or two recent deaths among the fag-officers in the royal navy, it had come to the turn of this 'nobleman to pass from the list of post captains to the position of the youngest among the arLiiir4l3 of Great Britain. We have no intention whatever of inveighing against his Grace in particulsT ; we merely take his case into consideration as being conspicu - ikly illus. trativt of, the inirin,qrcui system so long prf;ctisd in t h e mar .agawnt of -VA' maritime Fe r oE. gland. We men. iuti,the eiti!nui:4tnice we are about to refer to merely as a case - i!: point, not at all as a , l excep tional occurrence. The grievance oi which we would here complain must loudly is unfirtunsfely but of too frequent occurrence. B.: it said then, without any intentkn to be personally invidious, that his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND has, in consi deration of just eleven years' service, been rec4ving hslf-pay as a poet-Captain for a period of no less than Wit-A° years' duration? For the payment of i this _Wary, or we 'should rather call it this pen- I -zwat4 THE SUN, NON DON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER l5, 1850. THE FRENCB REPUBLIC. We hive received the Paris journals of yesterday. The entente cordiale established between the Presi• dent and the As - ,trnbly, by the cone' iatory tone of the Message, and by the recusal of the Committee of Permanence to present any report which might raise a discussioo on the awkwmd questions of the review at Satory, and of the di,missai 01 General NE ()MAYER, is already brcken. A quarrel has arisen between MM. BAROCHE and CARLIER on one side, and the Questors of the A , serobly on the other, which bids fair to revive all the old heartburnings with increased force. The Questors, it will be remembered, pro posed that the Assembly should take under its pro tection M. YON, the police agent, (who denounced to the Committee of Permanence the alleged Bona• partist conspiracy for the assassination of General CHAIN GARNIER), by voting him the salary of which M. CARLIERhad mulcted him, and also that the Assembly should nominate and pay its own police independently of the Executive; this proposition was referred to the committee of initiation, and they have decided on re commending its adoption. This decision is considert-d by M. CARLIER as a vote of want of confidence in him, and that worthy successor of FOUCHE and VIDOCQ at once called on M. BAROCHE and threatened to resign should this motion be proposed to the As sembly. M. BAROCHE therefore went brfore the committee and declared that the adopt* of the pro position would produce such confusion in his depart ment, and would look so like a want of confidence either in his honesty, his watchfulness, or his skill, that if adopted he should feel it incumbent on him to resign his office ; and, on the other hand, the Questors declare that if the proposition be not adopted they will resign, and in this fix matters stand at present. M. His DE BUTTaNVAL has been appointed Minister in Turin, in the room of M. FERDINAND BARROT, who resumes his duties as a representative of the people. M. THOUYENEL, the Minister at Athens, is re moved to Munich, snd M. LEFEYRE supersedes M. DE PERSIGNY at Berlin.

During the last few years, indeed, the payment may be regarded as attributable to moneys forthcoming through the regulated extor tion of the income• tax. It would be difficult to con jecture to their full extent the grievances which the industrious part of the community has had to undergo since the revival of this unpopu lar tax, in order that the pension of the Gallant Nobleman should be duly paid in to his account. Multitudes of similar instances might be readily adduced from the long catalogue of post-captains and flag officers in the" Navy List." 'the circumstances relating to his Grace of NORTHUMBER LAND will, however, be amply sufficient to illustrate the justice of our argument. These circumstances, moreover, have not been dragged in for the purpose of patching up a specious and ricketty sophism ; they have presented themselves to our observation in the due course of things, and must, consequently, be ac knowledged as of a character quite as apposite as they are unquestionably conclusive. The truth is, as we have already so fre quently insisted, that all these evils, evils most detrimental to the interests of the naval pro feKion, are most embarrassing to the practice of true economy in the management of the Exchequer, and are attributable to the entire system of promotion, Instead of going by merit, as at the bar, or by money, as in the army, promotion in the nary is owing to the favour shown towards those possessing aristocratic influence. This kind of indis criminate favour is more or less evinced in the conduct of promotions in each of the three fashionable professions—in the church, in the army, and in the navy, but in the navy especially. Pur chase may carry a young cadet forward rapidly in the attainment of military promotion. The editing of a Greek play, or the accident of becoming tutor to a royal stripling, may transform a poor vicar some times into a rich bishop, adding to the modest broad cloth the silk apron and the lawn sleeves. In the nary money can do nothing, neither will the offices of the pedagogue or the penning of annotative remarks on ARISTOPHANES. Advancement in that profession is almost exclusively owing to the good luck of favour arising out of aristocratic connexions. Without this passport to promotion the most gallant and the most intelligent may remain throughout a long life in the subordinate ranks of the profession. Lieutenants, generally speaking, are presumed to be young men in a fair way to advancement. In the Royal Navy cf England they are, unhappily, but too often veterans entitled to respect, fur their years and their misfor tunes. Greyheaded midshipmen, even, have not un frequently been found serving in the ships of war of the greatest maritime nation on the face of the globe; and what is more, a nation equally prominent for its wealth. With justice might these ill-starred victims of a cruel and iniquitous system exclaim— " My country's blind—Coruption veils her eyes, Or paints her heroes in a strange disguise. Her tars are brave, intrepid, and so torth— But mourn the bar opposed to friendless worth." Against the continuance of an evil so apparent and pernicious every nerve of the economists in the House of Commons should be exerted. A refusal should be given to the continuance of any such severe and inquisitorial imposts as the income-tax, at any rate until such time as the miserable malpractices to which we have directed attention shall have been dis continued. To ourselves it appears somewhat indecent for the Government to look for taxes like this, wrung, as we have already said, from the very vitals of the industrial population, when the proceeds of their taxation go to the payment of pensions, during periods as long as five-and-thirty years, to men as opulent and powerful as his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND. The unnatural ness, the cruelty, and the extravagance of the system is altogether too flagrant to be any longer tolerated. For its destruction we look at once with hope and anxiety to the ensuing session of Parliament. No great question can be properly or equitably de cided during a period of panic and excitement. No important measure of reform can be settled upon a (fife and judicious basis, if the public mind be in a state of disturbance and irritation respecting the sub jPct-rnatter then under consideration. Hasty reme dies arising from the want of any better alternative, and adopted rather from the preesure of circum stances and the emergency of the moment, will seldom bear the test of sober examination, when the reason can be applied, without bias or prfjudice, to the calm and dispassionate investigation of truth ; and yet it is but too frequently necessary to take advantage of such crises. The apathy and indifference exhibited on questions of the most vital importance, if there be a temporary absence of suffering, may well dis- hearten the must zealous and enthusiastic re former. No matter how great the misery and retchedness previously produced by causes still in operation, no matter bow great the certainty that similar scenes will again be witnessed at no very distant period, the majority of the people will remain quiescent, contented to " let well alone," until, when the danger, of which they have been repeatedly forewarned, at length appears—. when the day of retribution arrives, they are, when too late, awakened to a painful and humiliating sense of the folly as id absurdity of their conduct. Such is the case at ()resent with respect to the cur- rency question. Three years since, when the country was brought to the verge of ruin, when a national bankruptcy was actu4lly impending which might have convince d the rnoneyocracy of the truth of the adage that "honesty is the best policy," all classes in society, from the highest to the lowest, were fully aroused. Monetary reform was the topic of the day. Pamphlet after pamphlet, many of them written with great ability, and disclosing much sound iuformation, issued from the press, while almost daily articles appeared in the public journals. There were few, indeed, of any weight or influence in the country that remained neutral. And for the honour of " the fourth estate," we are happy to be enabled to say that the great ma jority concurred in the unequivocal condemnation of the existing system, and adduced the most satisfactory reasons, the most convincing arguments, with respect to the necessity of substituting one better suited to the wants and exigencies of the country. Where now are these champions ? What voices are at present uplifted on the most interesting topic that can attract the public attention ? A few of our con temporaries alone continue faithful to the good cause—not that they have deserted the stan dard erected in 1847, or that they have changed sides, but that they appear to shun the subject, and seem disposed to let it sink into oblivion, to slur it over sub silentio. We need sacrcely say that there are honourable exceptions, chiefly to be found among our provincial contemporaries, prominent amongst whom we may class the Derbyshire Courier, which has never relaxed its exertions even for a single moment. We need not say that there are many others entitled to similar praise, and we trust that our readers will acknowledge that we ourselves have never exhibited any indifference in the good cause. There are also private individuals (would we could s ay many) who, actuated by an ardent spirit of pa triotism, by an unflagging zeal for the prosperity and happiness of their native land, devote themselves, with an energy and enthusiasm beyond all praise, to the enlightenment of the public mind and the awakening of the public attention to the injuAtice and impolicy of our monetary code, and th e propriety, nay, the imperative necessity, of a large and comprehensive measure of reform. Such a person is the Rev. JOHN TWbLLS, the respected vicar of Eaton, to whose unwearied exer tions in the great cause of monetary reform we hare borne repeatui testimony—who has done more to ke.e2 the public attention st-dily dirk cted to the topic I.han any other person in the ULited Kifig , iom—who 'bay justly be.termed the "C . .b(len" of tile movemnt. We Lii.lll not say, " Of the thee., htr4c7;el, grant but three To mv.ko a tiy./v Thermopyiae— , but we will affirm, that if we had such a person in er4ry county, who, with eqqal informe.ion and abiliv, would eenibit similar energy and devotion, the, question wild,' spedily be brought before • the Legislature, and the pressure from with out would compel an early settlement. The monetary reformers do not, however, appea r to .~„VL'Qi{~j know their own strength. They have never hitherto made the question a test as to the fitness of the ca,i didates for their suffraces; they are contewed souse vague promife to 1.)ok into the subject, or to nisk , , , future inquiries. But they do not, as trey ought to, make it the sine qua non, the question of paramount importance by wilful the merits of the candidates should be tested. Mr. TwELLs is unf)r funately disqualifi:d from bring sent to Parliament ; but if those who have profited ny his teaching, are only true to themselves, they will take care that they have none to represent them in Parliament who are opposed, or even indifferent and careless, with respect to the currency question. It was by such means that free trade was carried—it is by such means that monetary reform can alone be achieved. In another part of this day's impression will be found the report of an important meeting held on Friday evening in the lecture-room of the Mechanics' Institute, Derby, in which Mr. TwELLs attended as a deputation from the Retford Currency S ,ciety. We earnestly entreat the public attention to the admirable address of the Rev. G,,ritleman, which will well reply perusal Mr. TWELLS cited two high authorities as to the vital importance of the subject—the late Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM. The (le ceased statesman declared that " there is no contract public or private, no engagement, national or indivi dual, which is unaffected by it ;" while his talented colleague in the Ministry, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, long since, shortly after the fatal Act of 1819, said that " the real difficulties of the State, and the present danger of the landed interest will be found to lurk under the question of the currency." There could, however, be but little necessity for any authority on this point, which enters so deeply into the concerns of every individual, which forms a por tion of every transaction into which he may enter in the ordinary business of life. But still the "diffi culty" of the subject, as it is termed, appears to be considered a sufficient excuse for neglecting it. There is certainly, as Mr. TWELLS justly remarked, " no royal road to learning" on this more than on any other point. A. little attention must be bestowed on the point of controversy ; but we valture to say that the difficulties are more apparent than real, and that any person entering upon the investigation without bias or prejudice, without suffering his mind to he influenced by the clap-traps put forward by the bul lionists, will speedily begin to see his way with tole rable accuracy. The light will not be withheld from the anxious student, who seeks information in a proper spirit. Ttie nation has been retrograding—we have surrendered the advantages derived from civilization, and are going back to the condition of ages long since past by, when credit was Unknown and the world was in a state of barter. If the paper representatives of value are so worthless as the bullionists allege, may not g..ld and silver also get into disrepute? for they likewise are but the representatives of value, and the same reasoning that condemns paper may lead to their deterioration rather sooner than the bullionists desire.

A TREATISE UPON THE MECHANISM AND GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF THE FLUTE. BY J. CLINTON.—A work having this title has just appeared in the shape of a pam phlet. The author, Mr Clinton, already known as an ac complished player upon and writer for the instrument in question, ha! extended his studies much beyond the usual range of the artist; he has thoroughly investigated the nature and construction of the flute, and explained the causes of the difficulties which have beset amateurs in their choice of an instrument. The explanation is simple, lucid, and sensible, while the method adopted to elucidate the abstruse and obscure parts of his subject is so clear as to leave no doubt of the author's complete fitness for his task. Mr. Clinton also describes a new flute of his own invention, which offers great advantages to amateurs both for correct ness of tone and facility of execution. We are much pleased with the unassuming and modest manner in which Mr. C. has introduced himself and his flute to the public, and we recommend a careful perusal of this little pamphlet to all who are interested in the history and perfection of the flute. ROMANTIC CASE OF LOTS AND SUlClDE.—Yes terday afternoon Mr. William Carter, the Surrey coroner, held an inquest at the Mitre, Broadwall, Lambeth, on the body of Emily Nott, aged 21, late in the service of Mr. Van Buren, at Chelsea, who committed suicide at Blackfriars bridge. The inquiry lasted upwards of three hours. The brief facts of the case may be thus narrated :—The deceased formed an attachment to a constable of the M division, who being already engaged to another young female, eculd only see her as a private friend. In spite, howeve r , o f ? which she wrote, on a beautifully enamelled card, some verses fur the officer, which commenced— " You were the first and only one my bosom ever knew; And it is my present prayer to live alone for you." On Monday last she left her situation and went to the Borough, where the officer was, but before doing so, she placed on the window-sill a letter, which ran as follows " Dear Madame,—By the time you receive this I shall be no more. I am, Madame, your unhappy servant, EMILY Norr." The deceased, after leaving, inquired the way to Blacktriars bridge, and having reached there, mounted t o th e t o p, an d plunged head foremost on to the causeway below. The poiiceman on duty at the bridge saw her fall, and on going to her, found her head battered in. He lifted her up, when she groaned twice and expired. The jury returned a verdict —" That the deceased destroyed her lite whilst labouring under temporary mental derangement, and they were further of opinion that the police-constable was entirely exonerated from any blame." We hive much pleasure in announcing the ap pointment of Mr. George Arbuthnot to the Auditorshio of the Civil List, one of ,he most important offices in the free sury. Mr. Arbuthnot has fulfilled the labori us and respon sible duties of private secretary to several successive Chan cellors of the Exchequer. We believe that he served under Lord Althorp, Sir It Peel, Mr. Gou!burn, and Sir C. Woo. The importance and the confidential character of the duties di.charged by the private secretary of a Cabinet Minister were well desclibed by Sir H. Peel in his evidence betiae !fie Committee on Official Salaries, and can only be rewarded by such appointments as that now most appropriately con ferred on tar. Arbuthnot. Mr. Stephenson, one of the private secretaries e s p ec ially r e ferred to by Sir R. Peel, will succeed Mr. Arbuthnot as private secretary to Sir C. Wood. Field-Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, accompanied by the Alarchionese of Douro, left Dover at two o'clock yesterday afternoon by the South-Eastern Railway, and arrived in Loudon at six o'clock. INTERMENT OF SIR R. PEEL'S BROTH FR.—The remains of the late E. Peel, brother of the late Sir Robert Peel and of the Very Rev. the Dean of Worcester, were last week interred in the parish church of Drayton Bassett. The dean, with the other members of the tamily, , attend, d the funeral. Mr. Peel was the third son ot the first baronet, and was in his 60th year. The deceased gentleman was Lieutenant-Colonel in the Queen's Own Royal . Regiment of Staffordshire Yeomanry, and represented the borough ot Newcastle-under-Lyme in several Parliaments, but has for some years past retired from ptiblic life.-- Worcester Chronicle. Robert Murray Campbell and William Pomfret were yesterday remanded by the Lord Mayor on several charges of having obtained goods fraudulently from several tradesmen. The prisoners represented themselves to their victims as respectable merchants, carrying on business as Campbell and Co., 8, liilliter-street. EASTERN COUNTIES JUNCTION AND SOUTHEND RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Mr. Ewart, the official manager, attended before Master in Chancery Sir William Home, with the list of contributories in this company, in number about 1,200, but its settlement was not proceeded with in consequence of the various cases and decisions of the superior courts, on the liability of different classes of contributories, and bearing on the adjudication of various questions to be decided, not having been brought before his Honour in the form required. GENERAL SCREW STEAM SHIPPING COMPANY.-- A special meeting of the proprietors of this company took place yesterday, at their offices, 2, Royal Exchange-build ings, City. It appeared that tenders having been invited by the Admiralty for the establishment of a steam postal com munication, by means of screw vessels, with the Cape of Good Hope, a tender for that service had been presented on behalf of this company on the 13th of August last, and had been accepted. The contract taken from the Government for the carriage of the royal mails to the Cape of Good Hope was submitted to the proprietors, and received their unani mous assent. The first ship will leave England on the 15th of December next. mother through the street, DISTRESSING ACClDENT.—Yeaterday a f ternoon, an accident of a most d i stress i ng character m r oncacurerdedmianryßlaAcnkn- L m e o w o t r w e a e s t, p D r o r ti c e r e y d - i l n a g n e w . t h A h h e t r t l it tle a when a hoop the child was trundling escaped from her con. trol, and rolled into the road; she was in the act of recover ing it, when a heavily-laden coal •waggon knocked her down.

Commodore MARTIN sailed from the Tagus, with the experimental squadron, on the 7th, on a cruise to the A est ward. GEttMAN Y. The Paris Journal des Debats gives the following resume of the progress of the negotiations between Austria and Prussia. It should be recollected, in reading this sketch, that the Journal des Debats may be considered as almost the °E:jai gazette of the Austrian embassy : We have received several letters from Berlin under date of 10th instant. The information furnished by our correspondents is derived from the best sources, and may be summed up as follows:—It was in the evening of the 3d November that the King accepted the resigna tion of M. de Radowitz. On the same day the Kieg con- tided to the 'President of the Council, Count de Bran- denburg, the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, thus become vacant. M. de Brandenburg having fallen ill in the night of the 3d, that department was confidEd provi sional!), to M. de Manteuffel, Minister, of the Interior; but already, on the very day of the retirement of M. de Radowitz, the Count de Brandenburg had sent a courier to Vienna with fresh propositions, founded on the prin ciples and on the rule of conduct agreed on at Warsaw. These propositions had three objects-1. Prussia to en gage herself definitively to renounce her sy stem called the restricted Union, and to henceforth consider the constitution of the 28th May, 1849, as null and void. 2. If Austria consented wit to demand for the moment that Prussia should recognise at present the deerces of the Diet of Frankfort, and consider them as binding on her, Prussia de, Glares that she is ready to withdraw any opposition to the execution of whatever military measures it mly suit Austria to take conjointly with her allies for the re- establishment of order in Electoral iielBse. Prussia also expresses a hope that a similar understanding may be come to for the arrangement of the affairs of the Duchies. 3. Prussia makes known her views with regard to free conferences; she makes known what she understands by these conferences, and how and when they are to be held. These propositions of the Prussian Cabinet %ere for warded from Berlin to Vienna on the 3]. Count de Brandenburg, who was taken ill a few minutes after he departure; of the courier, died in a short time after, and his aeath became the signal for a violent reaction in the councils of the King of Prussia. The note of the 3d had scarcely had time to arrive at Vienna; it had not yet been communicated to the Imperial Cabinet, when the Prussian Government decided on the mobiliza tion cif the army, including the Landwehr: it issued the necessary orders for this m easure , so th a t th e arm y in a sew dass might be carried up to an effective force of 340,000 men. It did more ; G enera l G roe b en, w h o h a d previously received instructions .to c -irefully avoid any colithet between the two a rm i es , rece i ve d or d ers to act, militarily sod without delay. It is known that the Pius ian general, in confirmity with his fresh instruc tions, commenced hostilities on the Bth, and opened the posts. The reply of the Imperial campaign by' a sudden attack against the Austrian and t t o ret a ip n s Bavarian advanced communication e of the 311 reached Berlin Cabinet to the . en the Bth. Austria accepted in a great part the propo tete, of Prussia, but she demanded the immediate eva cuationPo ers of nearly b e b by t m h e thing, the ref .re, appears to announce that the two of d:rhsattandPi7ge, Power. E d ve that these bases will bs definitively adopted es the foundeiien f the arrangement which will cause the disappearance of the last chances of a war. It is doubtless to the ini oression produced by the reply of the Imperial Cabinet hat we may attribute the sudden end unexpected eve • cuation of Fulda and of C assel by General Groeben. the news of which re a led Paris se.terday. At Berlin a two-fold tendency may s be remarked ; the a rmy and the people, excited by the military spirit which holds such a great place iu the character and in the manners of the Pressians, have warmly en tered into the quarrel against Austria, and they impel the Government towards war, the perils of which they certainly have not calculated; whilst the more enlight ened and independent classes do not see without uneasi ness the development of a movement to which they never for a moment believed that the Government would yield. Now it is thought that the counsels of wisdom and mo deration will prevail. This will be to the glory of M do Manteuffel, who accepted without hesitation the post of successor to the Count de Brandenburg, and who will probably secure the triumph of the policy of peace which he supported with his regretted colleague. M. de Man isuffeil is now the only one of the Minister s o f th e Ki ng of Prussia who never despaired of the victory of good sense and right. He is also the only on o w h o h as constantly opposed that sort of impulse of public opinion which was systematically fellowed by M. de Radowitz, sup ported, and encouraged by t he coterie of Gotha. M. de Manteuffel may be said to have saved his King and his country in November, 1848, by uniting . him se lf w i t h t h e Count de Brandenburg in the difficult and glorious struggle in which that statesman engaged against the re volutionary passions which were everywhere triu m phi ng. His King and his country will a second time owe th eir safety to him if he succeeds in defending them agai nst the illusions of a still more dang erous feeling—the blind exaggeration of a national patriotism : which would er.- gage in an unjust struggle, the chimerical object which is the conquest of Germany aed the more probable Mlle of which would be to give a severe blow to the glory and power of Prussia. This is what M. de Manteuffel un derstood; it is this tendency which ho has undertaken to oppose. It must be said that he has been seconded by the conduct of Austria—conduct full of moderation, calmness, and firmness." It is amusing to find these absolutist ,. , powers talki ng about the restoration of " order Hesse. When and how has order ever been disturbed in Hess e save by the entrance o f the Austrian, Bavarian, and Prussian troop s ? It i s the old story of the pickpocket raising the cry of " Stop thief." Intelligence has been received from Berlin of the 12th. The differences remaining between Austria and Prussi a are ve ry s light, and there is every pro spect o f a sett l ement . Thi s intelitgence is confirmed by a letter from Vienna of the same date, which states that Count Doru4sor had brought decisive and acceptable propositions from Berlin, and from an article in the semi-official Austrian Correspondence, which states that the Austrian agents at Berlin has been met with a feeling of justice and moderation. This sudden cessation of the arrogant tone hitherto as 'timed by the Emperor of AUSTRIA is due, it is said, to the art ival of RADETZICT, who censured the Cabinet in the strongest terms for the arrogant tone they had assumed, and the aggressive policy they had adopted, and pointed out to them that the inevite. ble consequences of engaging in a war would be the certain loss of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and probably that, of Hungary; and GJLicia als o . From Fratikfort the intelligeece is to the 12th. The PrusSian troops will continue to occupy Cassel. The Prussian' head • quarters-are at Friedrreld. Hers. feld is garrisoned by the Prussians, who thus corn mend the roads leafing to Thuringia and to Cas*el. Tne King of BAvAutA has giv.-n orders for the immt dive mobilizitiou of the whole of the Bavarian I at my. The military convention between Baden and Prussia will be riicontinued. The whole Prthoian army is on a war footing ' • large masses of tr oo p s a r e marc hi ng f rom th e Rh en i s h Provinces to the south. A letter from Hamburgh, of Nov. 10, in the Ade pendance of Brussels, says :—" he new liinoverian Alini,try has inaugurated its entry into office by an act which renders it unpopular in Germany. The ratifica tion by all the German states of peace with Denmark being at present accomplished, subscriptions amongst the inhabitants in favour of the duchies have just been severely interdicted in Hanover. In the midst of the grave events arising in Germany, it is easy to remark thel during the last tew days a notable change has taken place in Hanover relative to the course to he pursued with respect to Austria and Prussia—a change which places it in a strict neutrality. Before long we may ex pect to see diplomatic relations rt , sumed between Prus sia and Hanover. A Minister Plenipotentiary will be mutually accredited at the two Courts. The King of PRUSSIA lately wrote a long letter to King ERNEST, to which a friendly reply was made. Prussia is consequently gaining ground in that direction, as, in place of having on her flank an armed enemy, she will henceforward find in Hanover a neutral power, but amicably inclined. To the summonses sent by the Diet of Frank- fort to Holstein to disarm, this latter has replied by new military measures and various nominations of officers. Since the late change of views at Berlin on the 6th, the men at the head of the movement in the duchies have taken fresh courage, and although an armed intervention into the duchies is looked for from Austria and Bavaria, every thing indicates that the resistance will be desperate. Our city has been since this morning free from Prussian soldiers. After an occupation of fifteen months, which cost Hamburgh 2} millions of francs, the last battalion left the city to-day, to join the troops which are being concentrated at Gerleberg with those coining from Meeklenburgh-Schwerin. It is only just to say, that during the period of their occupation the Prussian troops preserved the strictest discipline at Hamburgh." SWITZERLAND. The elections at Geneva have terminated in the complete triumph of the Liberal party. M. JAMES FAZY has been returned at the head of the poll by a majority of upward* of 1,200. Not a single reac tionary candidate ha* been returned. TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople, of the 2d, states that a riot against the Franks had broken out at Aleppo, and that much property had been destroyed and seve ral persons killed. ITAL Y. The steam-packet Maria Antoniette, which arrived at Marseilles on the 1011 instant, brought accounts from Naples of the 6th, stating that at three o'clock P.M. on that day the magistrate presiding over the Board of Health had removed the quarantine imposed upon vessels coming from the south of France. The steam-packet Vale de Marseilles, which reached Nan'es:on the 6,h, was immediately admitted to fibre pratique. The Croce di Savoia of the 9th inst. states that the Chamber of Deputies, on that day, was engaged in examining petitions. Towards the close of the sit ting, and on the proposition of the Minister of the Interior, the Chamber declared urgency in favour of the discussion of the Bill relative to the collection of the taxes. The Bill, it was believed, would be discus , ed and voted on the 11th; and, calculating that the Senate would adopt it in the course of two or three days, the session might be closed at the end of the week. The Roman Journal of the 5.11 inst. announces the departure for Civitit Vecchia of the 25th rt-gitnent of French Light In r antry, which was to embark there for Algeria. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Macready played Virginius last night, and we believe, for the last tune. The tragedy was written upwards of thirty years ago for Edmund Kean, who, however, did not appear in the part until some }ears after the play had, thanks to the admirable creation of the part of Virginius by Mr. Macready, been a permanent favourite with the public. It was origi nally produced at the Glasgow Theatre, and Mr. John Cooper was the original Virginias. The great success attending its representation at Glasgow at tracted the attention of Mr. Macready to the play, and he caused it to be produced at Covent-garden in the year 1820, when he appeared as Virginius, and made the play and made himself at the same time. In the year 1829 Edmund Kean appeared for some nights as Virginius, but it was fur from being the most successful of his impersonations. It is some two or three years since the tragedy was performed in London, and the interest upon the present occasion received therefore an additional impulse. It is one of the best of the Sheridan Knowles repertoire, and one of the most attractive specimens of the school to which it belongs, that we know of. The principal part has al wa3 s been identified with Mr. Macready as its repre sentative, and it will always he recorded among his most attractive triumphs. There are some situations in the play that come out, in his hands, with terrible force—for instance, his first hearing of the violence offered to his chiJd by Appius Claudius, the assassination in the Forum, and the interview with the tyrant in prison; while the final scene, in which the ashes of his daughter are brought to him in the urn, has never been surpassed as an exemplification of a void and broken heart. The applause bestowed upon this admirable artist throughout the whole of the performance—particu larly in the great scene of the third act—evinced the deep sympathy of the audience ; and it is to be rc gretted that the arrangements of the manager do not permit the repetition of a play abounding in so much genuine feeling and heroic elevation of sentiment. A better Icilius than Mr. Davenport we have never bad, not forgetting the manly and hones , grace of Mr. Wallack when in his best and most energetic days. The Dentatus of Mr. Stuart was bold and sturdy, and Miss Reynolds gave a touching interest to the delicate little part of Virginia. Mrs. Warner was the Servia. DRUR -LANE THEATRE. M. Jullien devoted the first part of his promenade concert last night to Metidelsshon—every incident in it being from the pen of that lamented composer. He began will the A minor symphony, stid concluded with the music of the Midsummer Nights Dream— the intermediate pieces consisting of the war march from Athalie, and a pianoforte monde executed by M. Billet, who is one of the must intelligent interpreters of music of this high and imi:ginative class that we have. The great instrumental pieces we have enu merated above were played with great spitir, taste, and accuracy ; and the attention which they received from an audience of vast numerical proportions was al! that could be wished. The charming little Borg of " The First Violet," and a Volkstied, were sung between whiles by Jetty Treffz, and both were en cored, though the former only was repeated. We trust another Mendelssohnian Festival will be given before the "month" appropriated by Jullien is ex busted. The public, judging by its deportment last night, would, we are sure, welcome such a notifica tion with pleasure. _ The second part of the concert was made up of the ordinary light and evanescent materials, The Bri tish Army Quadrille was the principal feature, and it was played, the programme told us, for the last time this season. THE Pops's BULL IN ENGLAND.—An admirable caricature with this title has just been published by Mr. Clayton. The artist has, in allusion to the flight of Pio Nono from Rome, disguised as a footman, re presented him as a flunkey driving his bull into the rich pastures of Mr. John Bull, wbo stands with his bull-dogs in the leash, keeping guard over the Crown, the Bible, Civil and Religious Liberty, and the Pro testant Faiih. Mr. John thus gives expression to his feelings on the occasion : Weil, if that bean't the imperdentest thing as ever I knowed ! ! Why, if Old Pope. the run-away Footman, aint sent his Bull to teed in my fields. Aye! aye! I see what it is, he wants to fatten his Beast on my nice but. tercups and daisies; but I aint a going to stand that wither : I ha ve d ruv hi m out once afore; and if I let my bull-dogs at 'un, I'll be bound I'll boon drive the ugly brute out again." While the Pope's Bull declares that he does not half like the looks of Farmer Bull and his dogs. COST OF THE PURCHASE OF A LIEUTENANT•COLO NS:EST.—It is confidently reported in military circles that the large sum of sixteen thousand pounds • has been offered y the Major of a Lancer Regiment, recently quartered here, ' for the purchase of the Lieutenant Colon AY, and re f used after two days' deliberation. The highest sum ever given for the purrlisse of a step, was, we believe, twenty thousand pounds. Brighton Paper. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE BY A LADY OT FORTUNE. —Last evening Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at the King's Head. Swinton -street, St. Pancras. on Miss Matilda Roberts, aged 2 , . For the last IS months deceased had been rapidly sinking from consumption, which greatly affected her spirits, so much so that she threatened suicide. Monday night, in t la,!. temporary absence of her nurse, she flung her self out of her bed-room window into the area, a distance of 20 feet, and sustained concussion of the brain, which caused her death.—Verdict " Insanity." A nursP of Bethlent Hospital, named Susannah Clark, was yesterday remanded from the Lambeth Police court, on a charge of plundering the hospital of considerable quantities of tea, sugar, meat, and other provisions. In the course of the inquiry it transpired that a moat lax system prevailed with regard to the custody of provisions in the institution, and Mr. Norton animadverted in strong terms on the carelessness exhibited in that respect.
