He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the sabjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.

Very recently there has arrived in th!s country, from the dependency last mentioned, a gentleman entrusted with a mission intimately concerning the interests of its active and intelligent population —we allude to the Honourable JOSEPH HOWE, the Pro vincial Secretary. Himself deeply versed in the labours and responsibilities of the Nova Scotia Go vernment, and acquainted, moreover, with the extra ordinary capabilities of the colony, Mr. HOWE was perhaps, the fittest person that could have been selected from among the members of the local administration for the purpose of bringing its wishes before the home Government for its acceptance and approbation. As we understand, the principal object of the Honour able Provincial Secretary on arriving in the mother country is to urge individually upon the chief of the Colonial Department, and generally speaking upon the whole of her MAJESTY'S Government, the ad visability of affording every reasonable encourage ment to a projected enterprise of considerable magni tude, and one promising net only to NOva. Scotia itself, but in a greater or less extent to both hemi spheres a multitude of scarcely calculable advantages. The enterprise we here speak of is no other than a proposed intercolonial and intersectional line of railway opening up communications uninterruptedly between New York and Halifax. As an evidence that the project is in no respect chimerical, and that its anticipated good consequences are, in their nature, anything but illusory, it is only necessary to trans cribe the eulogistic opinion entertained of it by Earl GREY himself, her MAJESTY'S present Colonial Se• cretary. Upon the scheme of railway extension to the principal town of Nova Scotia, that statesman has thus written :—" I regard the work," says he "as one calculated to be of the highest ser vice to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and instead of considering it as likely to endanger by competition the still more important scheme which has been proposed for connect ing Halifax with Quebec, I believe that it is likely to prepare the way for the execution of the latter, and that it will contribute to the same end, namely, that of rendering Halifax the great port of communication between the two continents of Europe and America." So much for the estimate formed of the undertaking by the Right Honourable the Colonial Secretary—an estimate as earnest as it is, to our thinking, deserved. The Honourable JOSEPH HOWE therefore, the Pro vincial Secretary of Nova Scotia, is entitled to our congratulations for having arrived in England for the purpose of advocating the claims of that important province, provided to that end with a proposal of this golden and inestimable character. To the end that the enterprise under consideration may be the more fully appreciated, it will be advisable, perhaps, to glance at the social and political progress already made by this remarkable and im portant possession. A cursory glance at its develop ment in these respects is, indeed, almost essential, now that it is proposed to conduct through Nova Scotia the main trunk of all the United States and other North-American railways. The mere supposi tion that a time may arrive when the vast bulk of European intercourse with the new world shall be carried on by way of Halifax, invests the whole of the colonial province, of which it forms the capital, with an interest, it maybe, in some measure disproportionately greater than that attached to the other parts of our North-American possessions. However this may or may not be, we cannot but regard it as advisable to sketch hurriedly, but suc cinctly, the history of the rise of Nova Scotia under British domination. Nova Scotia then, it must be remembered, was ceded by France to England as recently as the year 1713—50 that all the changes that have been effected in its well-being since its passing under the rule of the Anglo-Saxons, have taken place within a period of 140 years, an insignificant interval in the existence of even the smallest and poorest dependency. When it is borne in recollection that scarcely any regard what ever was paid to the interests of Nova Scotia by its new possessors from 1713 to 1749, it will be seen that the time during which the development of the capa cities of the colony could be watched over by the British Government becomes very materially and ap preciably diminished. At the latter period, however, in consequence of the renewal on the part of the French monarchy of a disposition to interfere again with the partitioning of the North American continent, the ob servations of the English, multitude were directed to:the value of the colony, and a grant of 40,0001. was voted by the House of Commons for the support of a num ber of emigrants. Thereupon nearly two thousand of these emigrants, encouraged by the aid of Parlia ment, landed in Chebucto Harbour, and in 1750 (just one hundred years ago) erected the town of Halifax, directed in their hardy and resolute operations by their Governor, the Honourable EDWARD CORNWALLIS• Not long afterwards, namely in 1758, the value and security of Nova Scotia became very considerably enhanced by the capture of Louisburg and the occupa tion of Cape Breton ; and subsequently, that is to say in 1768, the strength of those dependencies was sig nally increased by the resignation on the part of France of each and all of her former possessions in the North-American continent. Prior to this final and crowning settlement of our colonial power in that quarter of the western hemi sphere, namely, in 1758, during the year signa lized by the seizure of Louisburgoi constitution based upon that of the mother country was granted to Nova Scotia—a constitution comprising a House of As sembly, a Legislative Council, and a resi dent Governor. Gradually, however, a num ber of evils and abuses sprang into ex istence out of this very constitution, the local administration at one time being led into a sys tem of deplorable extravagance. Nevertheless, there arose ultimately in opposition to this extravagance and to these abuses a vigorous opposition, out of ,which emerged in the end a great constitutional struggle of fifteen years' duration. Alluding to these events, the Provincial Secretary thus expressed himself, in his farewell address to his constituents, on the 31st ultimo : " Responsible government, administered through heads of departments, holding their places by the tenure of public opinion, has occupied, as you are aware, a considerable place in the public discussions of British America, for the last ten or fifteen years. We have lived, however, to see our principles triumph—to see them recognised, after full debate, by the Lords and Commons of England, to see them clearly enunciated by successive Secre taries of State, in Canada and New Brunswick, no less than in Nova Scotia, supplying new securities to liberty, and fresh vigour to every branch of the Administration." Furthermore, the Hon. Provincial Secretary ob served, after detailing a variety of economical ar result. rangements : " The past, with all its valuable results, is before you—but no political party, no Administration indif ferent to the duties of the present hour, and unmindful of future improvements, can live upon the fame of past achievements, and grateful reminiscences of bygone labours, however honourable these may have been. The cry and the great want of Nova Scotia, at the present time, is further industrial development— active employment for the people —new and improved facilities for business and social intercourse. To this fi e ld of honourable labour she invites all h er children, without reference to past differences of opinion, and in utter oblivion of the rivalries and ardent feelings which past contests have aroused. In this field there is work enough for us all for twenty years to come. Upon this field I am prepared to enter, as an humble labourer, in the spirit evoked at the great meeting held in the capital on the 25th of August. I believe that a Government fostering that spirit —nobly sustained by it, and dedicating the public treasure and the public credit to the work of indus trial development, may do much good. With a vie w to give form and direction to that spirit, I have ac• cepted the important mission with which I am charged. If I succeed, our country will reap the advantage —if I fail, the mortification will be my own ; but I shall bear it with the consciousness that I have done my best." For the better comprehension of the mission en trusted to the Honourable Provincial Secretary the following extract from the dispatch of the Governor of Nova Scotia, bearing date the 29th of August, 1850, ma y not be deemed unworthy o f especial consideration :—" In the meantime," says the Governor, "I should be glad to be informed whether, upon such pledges as have been regarded as satisfactory in other colonies being given, her MA JESTY'S Government would be disposed to aid Nova Scotia with its guarantee of such funds as she may find it necessary to borrow in England, in order to construct this road. These would not exceed 800,0001. sterling, and would probably be secured not only on the general revenues of the province, but upon the road itself. Such a guarantee would enable the province to enter the market upon the best terms, and effect a large saving in the accomplishment of the work. The revenue of Nova Scotia is about 80,000/. sterling, her debt but 87,8921. sterling, of which 47,892/. is represented by pro vince paper, on which no interest is paid. The per • manent and indispensable charges are about 40,0001., leaving about 40,000/. of surplus re• venue available for public improvements. The re venue has increased 4,4001. within the present year. The increase on the whole would probably be 10,0001." From all that we have here remarked, it must be sufficiently obvious that the period has at length arrived when her MAJESTY' Government may re lease themselves from the pressure of colonial difficulties by according a full and cordial support to enterprises like the one here indicated. Out of all which considerations we cannot but regard the ar rival of the Hon. JOSEPa HowE amongst us, on this important mission relating to the affairs of Nova Scotia, as a circumstance inaugurative of a new and happy change in our entire system of Colonial Go vernment. Our impression of yesterday contained a full report of the proceedings at the first annual meeting of the Retford Currency Society, including the admirable and instructive address of the Rev. JOHN TweLLs, whose name will be received by our readers as that of a familiar friend, with whose enthusiastic, indefatigable, and, we may truly add, disinterested exertions in the great cause of monetary reform they are well acquainted. To his efforts may be ascribed the success that has attended the society, of which he may be regarded as the founder, and which enabled the committee to issue a report in every respect so satisfactory to its members at the termination of the first year of its existence. It is, indeed, delight ful to witness in any infant association the full and efficient performance of the promises made at the time of its formation. Seldom, indeed, are the preli minary expectations realised—unexpected difficulties will arise that but too frequently defeat the best in tentions, and afford ample excuse for comparative failure. But on this subject the Retford Society had nothing to reproach itself; it had to offer no apologies, to seek no indulgence; it achieved more than even its most sanguine adherents and supporters could have ventured to anticipate. On no single point was there a deficiency or failure. At the time of its formation it was stated that its practical operation would be 1. To circulate information on the subject of the currency by means of cheap publications. 2. To promote lectures on the currency. 3. To impress their representatives in Parliament with the importance of an alteration in the exist ing laws. These were the modes of action indicated as best calculated to attain that great desideratum--a large and comprehensive measure of monetary reform, which would affurd the nation the inestimable bles sing of a currency adequate to its wants and exi gencies. A brief and cursory glance at the report itself will show how fully these pledges have been redeemed. On the first point several cheap and simple, but at the same time most useful and instruc tive publications have been published, of which about 15,000 have been circulated, and these, say the com mittee, " have succeeded in awakening much in terest on the subject." Much more might have been truly said in favour of these admirable little tracts without violating the truth, or in any degree infringing upon the laws of modesty, which forbid self-praise. We can say that they contain a variety of sound in formation, conveyed in a plain and lucid style, so as to be perfectly intangible to every person of ordinary capacity, and to afford a general insight into the merits of a question that has been erroneously stated to be of the most abstruse and difficult cha racter ; while even those who have studied the matter in all i;,s details will derive additional instruction from these unpretending little works. It is, indeed, delightful to find that there has been a demand for 15,000 copies, and that within so brief a period as has elapsed since their appearance. We may fairly calculate that, on an average, each copy has passed through at least four different hands; here, then, we find no less than 60,000 persons whose " interest has been awakened on the subject," which is shown to be of the most vital importance to their own welfare and happiness. It is impossible that any unprejudiced person can rise from their perusal without at least being desirous of investigating the matter further, and seeking addi tional information in case any doubts should remain. Now this is all we desire as monetary reformers. Convinced of the justice and expediency, the wisdom and policy, of a thorough revision of that iniquitous and inequitable code that double rivets the chains of the debtor, and deprives industry of its legitimate rewards, we only seek to excite a spirit of inquiry, For where that exists there can be no doubt as to the " Magna est veritas, et preevalebit." Truth is great, and will unquestionably prevail whenever there is full and free discussion. Our greatest enemy is that culpable apathy, the chilling indifference which is but too frequently exhibited, when persons, even men in comparatively high positions, who are perhaps looking for ward to a seat in the Legislature, profess their total ignorance on by fir the most im portant topic that can come before Parliament. When, however, the various constituencies become interested in the subject, when persons in the enjoy ment of the elective franchise have studied the ques tion and made themselves masters of its details, the would-be representatives will be compelled for very shame's sake to refrain from-such humiliating and dis graceful confessions, and to select a banner under whic'a to array themselves—to rank themselves among the friends or opponents of mone tary reform. And this will be achieved if other cur rency societies similar to that of Retford be formed in each district, and publications circulated in the lo cality calculated "to awaken the interest of 60,000 persons." On this point, then, no doubt can remain but that the It etford Society has faithfully and effi ciently discharged the obligation it assumed of "cir culating information on the currency." On the second point, we find that the services of the clear-beaded and talented JONATHAN DUNCAN, the efficient secretary of the National Currency Reform Association, were obtained. That gentleman delivered lectures— which it is almost a work of supererogation to say were "able," for what has ever fallen from him, in speaking or writing, that was not "able" and perti nent to the topic under discussion Newark, Work sop, Lincoln, and Retford. Public meetings were also held at Tuxford (two), at Retford (two), and at Worksop, 011erton, Carlton in Linderic, Market Bosworth, and Derby, in which Mr. TWELLS enlightened the auditors with those admirable addresses to which it has so repeatedly been our pleasing duty to direct the public attention. It is unnecessary to say how the duties devolving upon such men as Mr. DuiscAst and Mr. TWELLS were dis charged. Their assertions, sustained by the most convincing evidence, the most logical arguments, could not be controverted or denied, and it is not too much to say that they induced many thinking men to bestow serious consideration on this all- important document. On the third point various petitions to both Houses of Parliament were adopted, which were numerously and influentially signed, and which, we doubt not, will have considerable effect in bringing the subject under the consideration of the Legislature during the approaching session. In every manner and on every point,. then, the Retford Society has faithfully per formed its promises, and we only hope that the in creased means that must unquestionably flow to its coffere, not only from the inhabitants of the vicinity, but from all parts of the country, may be applied with similar judgment and discretion, and be , productive of Equal advantages to the good cause. We cannot conclude without expressing our apprecikion of the compliment paid to ourselves for the part we have taken on the all-important question. We have merely given utterance to our honest convictions, we have discharged the sacred duty which devolved upon us as public journalists of endeavouring to pro mote, by every means in our power, the attainment of those measure on which the prosperity of England mainly depends. We confess, however, that it i s satisfactory to find so handsome an acknowledgment of our labours as that contained in the report of the Retford Currency Society. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National has the following :—At the moment of going to press we received, with a request for im mediate insertion, the following letter, addressed by the Honourable General CAVAIGNAC to the editor of the Monitcur du Soir : " Monsieur le Redacteur,—l have just seen an article in 3 our journal this evening. I give a public contra. diction to whoever may pretend to have ever heard me inter a single word which was not expressive of the deepest respect for the fundamental law of the country. I give a formal contradiction to whoever shall pretend to have heard me say, directly or indirectly, that I should ever place my affections and my sword at the service t,f him, who, after having sworn to observe the constitution of the country, would accept a candidate ship, and an election prohibited by that constitution. Accept, &c." The following is the passage of the article in the Moniteur du Soir, to which General CAVAIGNAC gives such a peremptory contradiction " A representative of a southern department, ex pressed his astonishment to General Cavaignac, at the silence which he had observed relative to the opinion attributed to him by M. Savalette, on the subject of the prolongation of the powers of the President of the Re public. Why should I put myself forward,' replied the General; ' why should I correct inexactitudes of recital more or less intentional?' 'But, in fact,' again asked the representative, what do you think of the solemn election of 1852, and what will you do, if, not withstanding the terms of the constitution, the immense majority of voters should again confer tho Presidency of the Republic on Louis Napoleon Bonaparte?' If the majority of the country,' replied General Cavaignac, • were to declare itself in that way, I cannot admit the right of any one to place himself above the will of the country, freely expressed. What the country wishes every one should wish. If it be clearly and loudly shown that France, of her sovereign authority, again invests Louis Napoleon Bonaparte with the office of first magis trate of the Republic, I bow with respect and submission before the majesty of such a wish; I again place my affections and my sword at the service of the country and of its executive representative, and defend them with all the vigour of my patriotism against the attacks of the parties vanquished in 1830 and in 1848. The country and its will before all.' " The truce between the Bonapartists, the Legiti matists, and the Orleanists has already ceased, and their respective organs in the press are now a tt ac ki ng each oth er as energet i ca ll y as ever; the ALLAIS affair (ALLeis is the man who gave information to M. Yom of the plot for the assassination of General CHAN GANNIER), seems destined to be a perpetual source of annoyance to poor M. CARMEN; finding that his attempt to pooh-pooh the revelations of ALLAN did not succeed, he sent a physician to examine him, with orders to report as to his state of mind. Dr. Baoussals accordingly visited him, and reported that he was perfectly sane ; thereupon, finding his at tempts to ignore the plot unavailing, M. CARLIER wrote a note to the journals, stating that the club of which ALLars was a member was not a Bonapartist club, but was presided over by a celebrated Legitimatist. Had he stopped at this, M. CARMEN, perhaps, would have been safe, but, unfortunately, the worthy Prefect was so " left to hiniself"as to condescend to particulars, and in the foreign correspondence of a Belgian journal (the foreign correspondence of all the reactionary journals is inspired direct from the office of M. CAR- LiErt), he announced that the celebrated Legitimatist was the colleague of M. CIIAMBOLLE ; thereupon the Opinion Publigue, the organ of the colleague of M. CHAAIDOLLE, publishes the following defiance to M. CARLIER : " There has just happened what might have been ex pected. The prefect of police has written to a journal, by the hand of a hussier, that it was a well-known Legi timatist who presided over the Bonapartist society of,the Faubourg Montmartre. Two days afterwards the Pays, a paper whose relations with power are well known, in quires if this Legitiatmist do not happen to be a friend of M. Cbambolle? To-day wo find a Belgian journal giving insertion to a letter from Paris, written by friends of the prefecture of police, that the well-known Legiti matist, the 'colleague of M. Chambolle, is M.:Leo de La- borde. Our friend M. Leo de Laborde authorises us to give a defiance to the prefect of police to write his name at the foot of this allegation of the Belgian journal, which he declares to be an odious and cowardly calumny. which, as if ashamed of itself; hits token refuge in a fo reign journal because it could not be published here without a signature, lie calls on the prefect of police to explain himself publicly, and if he keeps silent the public equity will judge this unheard-of proceeding. which introduces into the French press an insinuation which, by travelling in the world, becomes at the end of three days a calumny." It was not to be expected that after such an assertion on the part of M. CARLIER, silence would be observed by the Orleanist M. CIIAMBOLLE, and accordingly we find the following in the Ordre : " Do you desire that we should for your edification tell you what the intrigue is that appears too most pro bable, and in which it is hoped to make you play the part 6f dupes. People talk about a very little committee, composed of diverse elements, but united by a common thought, that of bringing together through fear the men of your party, even those of different intentions, for the sake of voting the prolongation of the President's powers, and by the following method:—lnquietude would be exerted unceasingly as to the designs, and as to tho enterprise more or less near of the ancient Conservatives and ancient Constitutionalists, and as an act of suprrme ability the opportune moment would placing th e quest i on between legitimacy to s ei nd m t a h k z i e e s dy f p o ro u o j r r e s c e t l v o e f s . p t r he ol o instrumentsngat ion . il of i tsu suits thism your a manoeuvre, you may do so; but it is easy to foretell even at this day the effects. Need we try to lead our readers through the labyrinth of these inventions and tricks? One word is enough. Any intrigue, no matter what colour it may assume, or from what side it may come, or to what ob ject it may tend, will be openly condemned. Neither surprise nor violence! This was our maxim long before it found its way into the Message of the President.

ENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Advices which we have received from Rendsburg contradict the late statement, according to which the Cabinet of Berlin had desired the Stadtholders to submit to Denmark. The Stadtholdershave received no such notification from the Prussian Cabinet. Hanover has protested against the proposal to join its troops to the Federal army ; but no protest has been made against the march of that army through the Hanoverian territory. Our advices from Copenhagen are of the 16th inst. Thsy contain no neves of public interest. Baron Pechlin has arrived in the Danish capital. HOLLAND.

EFFECT OF RATIONAL AMUSEMENTS ON THE PEOPLE. The Queen's marriage was honoured at Manches ter by all the public institutions of the town being thrown open gratuitously to the public. More than 70,000 persons visited the Zoological Gardens; yet we learn from a speech of Mr. S. Greig, at the annual meeting of the Macclesfield Useful Knowledge Society, that no wanton mischief was done or property destroyed, the whole amount of damage sustained consisting of some of the grass sod being ,trampled down by the presence of this immense concourse of people; and as a sequel to all it is a fact that after this universal holi day, when the whole population had been turned out to enjoy themselves, the next morning there were fewer than even the ordinary number of cases of drunkenness brought before j the bench of magistrates.—Penny Magazine, Dec. 5, 1840. PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSE FUND —A dramatic per. formance, we perceive, is announced to be given by the members of the Printers' Dramatic Society, at the Strand Theatre, to-morrow (Saturday) evening, in aid of the en dowment fund connected with the above valuable institution.

THE GREAT SALE AT THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE. —MENAI STRAITS, THERSDAY.—The sale of the immense surplus materials at the Britannia-bridge, and which is being attended by a very large number of buyers and bidders from all parts, commenced on Tuesday rooming, amidst a storm of wind and rain, such as has not been witnessed in the loca lity for years past. The spring-tide was raised by the gale to an unusual height, overflowing the banks of the Menai, and the spray was carried by the storm in one incessant cloud beneath the arches of the bridge. It was some time before the subsidence of the waters enabled the purchasers to occupy the ground, but soon after the auction commenced with great spirit, the articles consisting of enormous balks and quanti- ties of timber, workshops, offices, sets of stages, fire-en; nes, and iron by tons on t ons , rea li s i ng f a i r p r i ces. The' first day's sale consisted of 258 lots. Yesterday (Wednesday)) the second day's sale, there was a very good attendance, and the prices were better than on the previous day. There were 250 lots, consisting of the 10-inch ropes and hawsers, from 100 to 200 fathoms each, manufactured expressly for the bridge by London and Liverpool makers. There were seve ral of Carter and Kisbee's life-buoys, anchors of from 5 cwt. to 15 cwt., cable stoppers, capstans, boats, and chains. The proceeds of each day's sale are estimated at upwards of a thousand pounds. To-day (Thursday) and to-morrow the most valuable articles, such as the hydraulic presses, chains, &c., will be brou g ht un d er t h e hammer. When marriage is founded on prudence and honour, life has a definite object, and existence becomes a substantial blessing. - Eliza Cook's Journal. We have reason to believe that the letter of Lord John Russell to the Bishop of Durham will lead to results which were little anticipated at the time of its publication. We are informed, from good authority, that it is likely to create very great confusion in the Irish Government. It is even whispered that one of the chief law officers of the Crown has either already resigned or is about to resign his situation, on the ground that he cannot with any satisfaction to himself retain his connexion with a Government whose head has spoken so slightingly of those ceremonies of his religion, which he regards with feelings of profound reverence, as to call them " nsummeriekl!".eslideertiser.

Among the numerous difficulties embarrassing the department of the Colonial Secretary, none are more important in their character than those originated by our possessions in the North-American continent. For the diminution of those difficulties we must continue most solicitous until such ;time as can be witnessed the revival of a cordial understanding be tween those colonies and the mother country. Un happily, this friendly feeling between ourselves and our scattered territories has now, for some conside rable period, been dissipated, or, at any rate , ,very ma terially injured ; and this, we are bold to say, entirely from the mismanagement of the central Government. Not that we attach the blame in any way exclusively to her MAJESTY'S present advisers, the ,‘responsibility of a l l these unfortunate mis understandings belonging, more or less, to a long list of past Administrations. In referring to the miser able and anomalous position now occupied by the British Cabinet towards the great bulk of our de pendencies, we are actuated in no manner by an idle predisposition to rake up old grievances, or to dis seminate unnecessarily ideas derogatory to the intelligence of our statesmen. Our intention is to direct nubile attention, if possible, to the consideration of projects calculated to remove I many of the annoyances referred to, and ultimately, ! if carried out with any degeee of enterprise, to place the whole system of colonial government upon a solid and satisfactory foundation. Conspicuous and, we might almost say, paramount among these beneficent projects is one affecting the prosperity and, is some measure, even the very sta-; GERMAN Y. Accounts from Berlin are to the 18th. O n th at day the terms o f the KING 'S speech for the op en i ng of the Chambers were settled at a Cabinet Council, over which the KING presided. The movements of troops in Austria, Bavaria, and Wirtemburgh have been temporarily supended. The National Gazette of Berlin of the 17th says :-- "It is reported that two opinions are formed in the Ministry on the subject of the ultimatum of Austria. M. de Ladenberg wishes that the mobilisation should not be merely a demonstration, as M. de Manteuffel desires, but that it should be made use of to act militarily. Se veral councils of Ministers have been held; they h ave trot yet led to any result, but it is expected that before the end of next week it will be known whether M . de Ladenberg or M. de Manteuffel will direct the Govern ment in the midst of the storm with which it is threat ened." The Austrian party (says the Indepentlance of Brussels) has triumphed in the Senate of liambutgh. That Assembly has declined the invitation of P russ i a to furnish its contingent of troops as having adhered to the Union. The Cologne Gazette states from Nuremberg, 14th, that on the previous day the Government had trans mitted orders to the directors of the railway to re establish the service in the regular manner. The transport of merchandise would imrnediate!y recom mence, now that there was en end put to the convey ance of troops. The Breslau Gazette has the following from Vienna, 14th:—" A military council is held here every day, at which the EMPEROR presides. Field- Marshal RADETZKY, the Minister of War, and the Generals of the Staff, are present at it. This council directs all the important measures connected with the army. A grand military review is to take place iu a few days, at which Field• Marshal RADETZXY will be presented to the troops as Duke of COSTOZZA. and NOVARA."
