man who would surround the throne with devoted subjects, and give to'society good:citizens, must, on : the ground at least of a w ise State-policy, sincerely desire to see the youth of Ireland brought up according to the strict principles of the Catholic faith." This language comes somewhat strangely, with the signature of that arch-agitator, John of Tuam, and promises, doubtless, in case of a second Young Ire land movement, the aid of the graduates to assist the police. It would look well for an LL.D of the Catholic university to rank as Detective Learned in the Law in the police force, and to aid in arresting another Daniel O'Connell, or another Thomas Francis Meagher. POLITICAL LIBERTY. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vole., post Bvo., A NOVEL. 0 0 D. " The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusias tic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. 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 i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on 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. " Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter )f Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the sorest voucher of the truth of what we have said.

CINDERELLA and her glass slipper, wonderful as is the history of their adventures, dwindles into insig nificance when contrasted with Britannia and her glass palace. The imagination becomes irresistibly fascinated by the conjectures arising out of the pros pect of the latter spectacle. Any one in the slightest decree acquainted with the extraordinary influences of emulation, even when those influences are deve loped among mere individuals, will inevitably be dis posed to anticipate great things from such an indus trial emulation as that likely to be superinduced by nexlyear's exposition, seeing that in this instance the whole of the nations of the world are to be the com petitors. Out of a rivalry of so gigantic a nd conspicuous a character it is impossible that strange consequences should not emerge, consequences calculated to effect in a surprising manner the interests of both hemi spheres, and to expedite, in a no less astonishing man ner, the onward march of civilisation. While we are counting, however, thus confidently on the beneficent advantages likely to accrue to our selves and our world-diffused contemporaries, we should bear particularly in mind the circumstance that the arena of this memorable competition will be our own metropolis. To the capital of the British empire, therefore, the representatives of all the _principal powers of the earth will be attracted for the purpose of observing the relative value and 1 excellence of their productions.. Intelligent foreigners from the north and from the south, from the east and from the west, will hasten to London with a pre determination to exercise an unusual vigilance and a more than ordinary discrimination. Their endeavour to be present on the banks of the Thames on an oc casion so momentous to themselves, as well as to England, will be greatly facilitated by those increased powers of locomotion which man has acquired of late years by the scientific employment of steam in its application to machinery. Added to the fact of these railways threading the continents of Europe and America, and of these steamers travers ing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans—the almost universal peace just now pervading the chief countries of the habitable globe, will tend in a peculiar degree to multiply the number of our visitors. Thu enter- THE prising Yankee, as well as the indolent Mexican, the active Frank, as well as the enervated Spaniard, the astute German, the wily Italian, the Swede, the Dane, and the Russian, the minions of the Shah and of the Caliph, the Gaiour and the Mussul man, the Buddhist and the Catholic—wanderers from the coffee-plantations of Ceylon and from the tea gardens of China, from the sugar fields of the western and spice groves of the eastern Archipelago—will congregate in more or less numbers within the Bills of Mortality, prepared to criticise as well as to be criticised, to submit the products of their own skill to examination, but at the same time to scruti nize the general aspect of ourselves and our institutions. It behoves us consequently, so to speak, to " set our house in order" before undergoing this somewhat perilous inspection. We should remember that while the foreigners will contribute their most precious and ingenious fabrications to the palace of the Exhibition, our whole system, social and moral, industrial and political, will be laid bare to their ob servation. In the building itself they will see us as it were in our gala dress—that is true enough. But without its circumference they will be enabled to traverse the streets of our metropolis, and there to witness the English multitude, as it were, in its every-day attire, and en gaged in its ordinary avocations. Without arrogating to ourselves, as a nation, any unconscionable or un deserved superiority, .we may be permitted to say that, in the majority of instances, we await this review of our general appearance with no very timo rous anticipations. As if to afford encouragement on this head to the least sanguine, we have witnessed the favourable impression produced upon a mind such as that of M. Du LAMARTINE, OR his very recently sur veying the aspect of our capital and the surrounding provinces. In point of industry, of enterprise, of sobriety, of decency, and even in some degree of cleanliness, England may look with confidence to the results of any reasonable comparison. Our healthy agriculturists, our thriving manufacturers, our shops crowded with purchasers and filled with the costliest materials of merchandize, our numerous schools and churches, and mechanics' institutes and charitable es tablishments, cannot fail to excite the wonder and admiration of our visitors, as they have already called forth the earnest panegyrics of M. DE LAMARTINE. Nevertheless, with all these reasons for satisfaction, on our part, at the prospective arrival of the fo reigners in this metropolis, there are several eyesores and blemishes which, either from their grossness or their magnitude, must glare upon the eye of every stranger immediately on his entrance to the capital, and the mere thought of which fills our minds at the same moment with shame and indignation. Nu merous as these eyesores and blemishes are, we shall only refer to one or two of the most conspicuous, in the hope that efforts may be made betimes, either for their removal or diminution. For instance, it were idle to expatiate further upon the disgraceful insufficiency of drainage throughout London, and upon the abomi nable practice persisted in of polluting the waters of the river Thames. Equally fruitless would it be to demand just now the destruction of Middle-row, Holborn, that most ungainly and inconvenient ob struction in one of our principal thoroughfares. Neither would there be much utility in calling upon the Commissioners of Metropolitan Improvement to cart away the old rotten houses of Holywell street to some waste land, where dry rubbish can be shot at pleasure. Farringdon-street must still remain flawed by the empty space once occupied by the Fleet Prison, now a void as ugly as the socket of an eye long removed, or the hollow of a tooth long extracted. Parties must still continue to squabble about Smithfield ; and St. John's-gate, one of the most precious relics of metropolitan antiquity, must still continue a dilapidated tavern of the homeliest cha racter. Such useless pomps as the marble arch, again will of course remain huddled together in some out of-the-way corner, a mere heap of damaged bricks and splintered marble. What we would see, how ever, actually placed beyond the reach of derision before the arrival of the foreign visitors to the Exhi bition, may be very easily enumerated. We would see— First—NELson'S COLUMN COMPLETED! Secondly—THE CENTRAL PART OF LEICESTER SQUARE REDUCED TO SOME SORT OF ORDER AND DECENCY! Thirdly—THE EXTERIOR, AT LEAST, OF ALL OUR PUBLIC BUILDINGS RELIEVED FROM ALL US NECESSARY HOARDING AND SCAFFOLDING! Fourthly—THE DISCONTINUANCE OF THE DIS GRACEFUL SYSTEM OF TARING HALFPENCE AT THE PORCHES OF OUR CATHEDRALS! Before the opening of the Exhibition of 1451 these four improvements at the very least should 14 0 effected, unless we are desirous of appearing in the eyes of our visitors in a very paltry and disgraceful predica ment. That the monument erected to commemorate the national homage for "the darling hero of Eng. land " should remain at this moment unfinished is a circumstance reflecting shame upon an empire gifted with maritime supremacy. Let it not be said that this miserable token of our parsimony and ingratitude remained in 1851 to excite the ridicule of all intelligent foreigners I That the other changes before-mentioned should be accomplished in like manner must be ; equally obvious—especially in regard to Leicester square, when it is remembered that among 1 1 all the localities of London, that is the one most frequented by foreigners. Experience has shown, moreover, the ill effects of the long esta blished hoardings in front of such slowly improved structures as Buckingham Palace and the British Museum. As to the mercenary conduct visible in the guardianship of a great ecclesiastical edifice like St. Paul's Cathedral it were unnecessary to argue against an evil so glaringly and painfully conspicuous. Im provements such as these should be forced upon the acquiescence of the different authorities, and the me tropolis of England be thereby at length relieved from evils reflecting disgrace upon our economy and our civilization. For a considerable time past we have endeavoured to direct the public attention to the Currency question, We have done so from a thorough conviction of its immense, its vital importance to the industrious classes. The commercial, the manufacturing, the agricultural interests, and the labouring population of the country are alike concerned in the proper solution of the great problem. It is eminently the people's ques tion, on which their condition—whether it be one of prosperity or distress, of happiness or misery—mainly depends. A circulating medium sufficient for the wants and exigencies of the country is indeed the very life-blood of industry. With it, trade is brisk and active ; the products of the loom, the anvil, and the farm are in full demand; the skilful artizan and the agricultural labourer are certain of remune rating employment, of obtaining a " fair day's wages for a fair day's work." It is unnecessary to dwell upon the reverse of this picture—of the inevitable consequences of a scarcity of the representative and measure of value. It has been too recently and painfully illustrated to require further notice, and those who are disposed to remain indifferent or apa thetic will be startled into activity by the remem brance of the commercial monetary panic of October, 1847. That untoward state of affairs was directly pro duced by a reckless and improvident tampering with the currency. It was the natural result of the mone tary code established by the injudicious and impo litic Act of 1819, and rendered more stringent and intolerable by the Act of 1844. We do not desire to accuse the parties by whom these enactments were carried through the Legislature of any dishonest, in tentions, or of any wish to increase their own fortunes at the expense of the community ; but if such bad been the object no more efficient means could have been adopted for the purpose. By means thereof the drones were enabled to extract an in creased proportion of honey from the bees in the national hive ; the burden of every public and pri ' vats obligation was more than doubled—the chains of the debtors double-rivetted, and themselves and families handed over to the tender mercies of their insatiable creditors. It was, in fact, the triumph of the moneyocracy, to whom the rest of the community were ruthlessly sacrificed. It was declared by a competent witness that the Act of 1819 was carried by the power and influence of the landed proprietors—that it was the result of a compact between them and the great capitalists. The corn-law was the equivalent for which they bartered the welfare and prosperity of the country. They vainly hoped that war prices could be main. SUN, tamed by means of these protective enactments, ruHE that the burden of the public debt could be doubled without they themselves being the sufferers. They erroneously supposed that they could still obtain iose or 1 ls. per bushel for wheat, when a metallic cur rency had been substituted for a paper currency, a gold pound worth 203. for a paper pound worth 133. Their fatal mistake was speedily apparent. It was found that neither a fixed duty nor a sliding scale, neither an absolute monopoly nor heavy import duties could afford adequate protection to agriculture. From that time to the present they have maintained a hope, less and ineffectual struggle for that which they themselves rendered impossible ; and the Acts of 1815, 1822, Z. and 1842, succeseively failed to produce the intended effects, because, as Sir JAMES GRAHAM truly declared, it was " absurd to talk of price without reference to money, and impossible to alter the quantity of money without affecting prices." The corn laws and the money laws were an tagonistic. The object of the former was to raise prices—of the latter to prevent prices rising. And the farmers too late discovered the potency of the spirit they bad evoked, which eventually worked out their own destruction, The Act of 1844 consider ably increased the effect of that of JBl9. The one restored cash payments, and reejuired that all liabilities; should be liquidated in bullion, or in notes redeemable on demand—the other limited the quan tity of these notes, and created an artificial scarcity of bullion, by compelling the Dank of England to keep a large stock of specie lying idle and unproductive in its vaults, as useless for all practical purposes as if it still remained buried in the Ural mountains or min gled with the sands of California. But while the money interest thus increased their power, and obtained more than they had contracted for, the agriculturists were deprived of the ' fruits of their improvident bargain. The corn-laws were abolished. Free trade in corn and in COMRIO.. dities of every deseriedon was established, while the restrictions on money were rendered more stringent titan ever. The contest that had been maintained for thirty years between the manufacturers and agriculturists_ was brought to a conclusion. Their interests are no longer conflicting. The nation is not MOW divided against itself, and both parties may co operate together in order to obtain a sufficient supply for all, in place of struggling, like the children dee scribed by Locxx, to procure for themselves an undue proportion of " the scanty coverlet," which the im providence of the parent had alone provided. It is incumbent upon the agriculturists, therefore, to t site a prominot and active part in obtaining the repeal of these Acts, as it was through their own culpable folly that the curse was inficted on the country, through which they are themselves suffering so severely. Never was a legislative measure of such vast im portance so hastily or recklessly adopted. Parliament was distinctly and impressively warned in 1819 of the probable, the inevitable results, of the Bill then pend ing for the restoration of cash payments. The direc tors of the Bank of England, the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London—all who were best qualified to form an accurate judgment of its effects, uplifted their warning voices, but in vain. No atten tion was paid to their remonstrances ; greater weight was attached to the flippant assertions of the currency quacks than to the emphatic cautions of these expe rienced men. Never was a prophecy more fully and completely verified than that contained in the petition of the merchants, bankers, and traders of the metro polis, presented in the House of Commons by the first Sir ROBERT PEEL. They declared that the measure would " tend to a forced, precipitate, and highly in jurious contraction of the circulating medium of the country ;" and " that the consequences of that con traction would be to add to the burden of the public debt—greatly to increase the pressure of the taxes — to lower the value of all landed and commercial property—seriously to affect both public and private credit—to embarrass and reduce all the operations of agriculture, manufactures, and commerce—and to throw out of employment (as in the calamitous year 1816) a great proportion of the industrious and labouring population of the community." Alas! the truth of the prediction was but too speedily and too painfully established to leave any doubt as to the real cause of the distress and suffering, the riots and disturbance that prevailed throughout the entire country in 1819, 20, 21, and 22—the price of wheat in the latter year being 385.1 d. per quarter, notvvith• standing the law which was to keep it up to 80s. What, then, do we now demand ? It will not be sufficient to repeal the Acts of 1819 and 1844, with out adopting a substitute; and it is essential that all monetary reformers should agree upon a measure establishing a suitable and well-secured circulating medium. Any differences in this respect would re tard, if not prove absolutely fatal, to the realization of their anxious hopes. For this purpose, we strongly recommend the plan proposed by Mr. JOHN TAYLOR, and advocated by the Rev. Mr. TWELLS, Mr. JONA THAN DUNCAN, and many other enthusiastic and de voted currency reformers. The " commercial money" suggested by Mr. DUNcAN would be found a valuable adjunct. As we are always desirous of rendering honour where honour is due, we wish to mention that in a very able pamplet,* published in 1847, Mr. THOMAS BANISTER, of the Inner Temple, proposed " that Government should issue paper, confined to the extent of our taxation, which should be taken for taxes, and in every transaction, and paid for salaries in common with the metal coin." This little brochure will be found well worthy of attention, re :erring, as it does, to our colonies, our trade, our cir culating medium, and our railways. It has, we believe, already passed through several editions, and we trust that the talented author will speedily give an enlarged edition to the public. Under the present circumstances of the country, we cannot dispense with the services of so efficient a collaborateur as Mr. BANISTER. * " Memoranda relating to the Present Crisis as re gards our Colonies, our Trade, our Circulating Medium, and Bailways."

STRIKE OF THE SMITHS AT THE EXHIBITION, HYDE PART.—This morning, at eight o'clock, a number cf the smiths employed on the building for the Exhibition in Hyde Park struck for an advance of wages from 4s. to ss. per day. Fresh hands were taken on, and there was an at tempt made to intimidate them, but the police soon restored order. THE LATE SIR WILLIAM H. FREMANTLE, G.C.H. —The Right Hon. Sir William Henry Fremantle, G.C.H., whose decease took place at his seat, Holly-grove, in Wind sor Park, on the 19th instant, was the youngest son of John Fremantle, Esq., of Aston Abbots, in the county of Bucking ham, and was born on the 28th of December, 1766.

RAILWAY AND OMNIBUS REVENUES.—It Will scarcely be credited that the threepenny fares of the Bays water omnibuses produce a larger mileage revenue than the London and North-Western Railway. Yet such is the fact. A few figures will explain it. There are 41 omnibuses on the Bayswater-road. Their average receipt is 21. 103. each per day. That amounts to about 7171. per week from the 41 ' omnibuses. As the length of the road which they traverse is about seven miles, this makes a mileage receipt of about 102/. —a receipt which the London and North-Western Railway does not average. It should be remembered that we only take into account the traffic on the road from the Bayswater omnibuses alone. If we took into account what all the other omnibuses which travel on the same road produced, the re ceipt would be infinitely higher.—Hereputh's Journal. THE HUNGARIAN HEROINE, THE BARONESS VON BECK.— This courageous lady, who was employed in some of the most perilous secret missions between the commanders of the Hungarian army, during their late heroic struggle to preserve their independence, arrived a few months ago in England, and has been ever since occupied, almost exclu sively, in writing a narrative of her adventures, and sketches of many of the distinguished characters with whom she came in contact. The Countess lost her husband at the bar ricades at Vienna, where he was slain by a cannon ball. As another instance of female heroism and fortitude, the Ba roness Von Beck's vivid impressions of the strange and ro mantic scenes through which she passed cannot fail to be welcomed with deep interest. This work will be published immediately.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING-, OCTOBER 22, 1850. I I L k .J II REPUBLIC The mercantile markets abroad are reported to have been tolerably brisk, and at the Leipzic fair trade was active at the latest date. The papers from the United States furnish a copy of a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury upon the subject of the measures taken to prevent frauds upon the revenue since the passage of the Act of 1846, which was expected to lead to serious results, inasmuch as it effected a change from specific duties to duties levied upon the foreign value of imported merchandise, and some of the anticipated difficulties seem to have arisen, and fraudulent invoices continued to multiply, and the Customs authorities were compelled to issue very stringent regulations, declaring, for example, among other things, that forced sales by auction, ssc„ could not be taken as the true market of such goods. The following is one case in point:—Mr. Secretary Walker decided that the 16th section of the Act of 30th August, 1842, prescribed that the date, in reference to which the value of foreign merchandise is to be esti-. mated, was the period cf exportation to the T Q - L ik'd States, and very clearly exhibited the consequences of any other construction to the " _avenue and the importer. ems Matter wag ;uvelved iu a suit commenced by Thompson and Forman, of London, extensive manufac turers of railroad iron, against Philip Greely, jun., col ' lector of the customs at Boston. Thompson and Forman shipped a cargo of railroad iron from Newport, in Wales, to Boston—the invoice and bills of lading for the same bear date the 2i th of February, 1849, and the price per invoice was 44. per ton. The United States appraisers appraised the value at 61. per ton. On an appeal to merchant appraisers, it was appraised at 51. 15s. per ton. The duty was paid, and a penalty for undervaluation imposed, and likewise paid. It was admitted that on the 24th of February, 1849, the date of the invoice and bill of lading, 5/, les. p a s t o w n and h tw Forman, vthe the 4 r r t e b r ,: s r , eo f claimedwas n'hatly per ton was the true market value of such iron ; kat value this iron was contraeteel or on the 24th of procured c abroad, provisionsaa d s r unless u p Lanuury, T lB h 4 o 9 m , l ee eisn t s e t d thh , ee w Aa a r s etit ' es ' l t eo h fi a s t lBo t 2n h 3e e a per ton. On this point the charge of Judge Wood bury,nisu !aa o r f Q tit© purchased e S o T r u h p p e r r r e o e m e Acts of Congress expressly povide that the time to ba selected for fixing the valea is the time when the article imported from country where it was not grown or me nd 1842 provide that the value shall be fixed as th e time t e time of exportation," "I am aware that, in practice at some custom-houses, the time of the purchase and procurement is usually, as a general rule, considered tge date of the bill of sale. This would, ire, meat eases, not differ from the value at ttst -, time of the purchase, as it varies often but a few days or weeks, and the price but a few farthings. But in cases where the difference in time and price is in truth considerable, and the importer requests the true time of purchase to he taken, the Custom-house, and courts and juries, would not comply with their oaths tc follow the law, unless all were governed by the value at the time of purchase or procurement." Upon a comparison of the opinions of Mr. Secre tary Walkes and those of Judge Woodbury upon this point, it will be seen that, if the judge be correct, the foreign manufactur e r can ma k e hi s se l ec ti on o f the date at which this merchandise was procured, and thereby be enabled to value his commodity to suit his interest, whether at the time of shipment or time of want:future —whereas a purchaser is confined to the date of pier chase. If the law allows any distinction betwest, the duties which shall be payable by mauufacturere and pur chasers of iron, an immediate correction shosild be made. Another example is that of three shipments of pi mento, which were made from the ieland of Jamaica at about the same period—two of them to New York by the same vessel, the invoices of which bear the same date; the other to Baltimore, and all per account of the shippers. The New York invoices were both at 2i-d. per pound; but, before making entry, one of the parties added id. per pound, to make the price conform to the fair market value. The other entered his without making any addition to the value ; the appraisers added id. to the value ; the parties demanded a re-appraisement by merchants, which was held, and the appraisers' valuation was sus tained—the additional duty was accordingly assessed. At Baltimore entry was made without any addition to the value; the appraisers added id. to the value. A re-appraisement by merchants was demanded, and the appraisers' valuation was not sustained. Upon a report of all the facts to the Secretary of the Treasury, he de cided that "as these merchant appraisers bad placed before them at the time evidence furnished on appraise ment at New York of importations of pimento from Jamaica, shipped about the same time, going to show that the market value of the article was higher than that stated in the invoice under review, the depart ment is compelled to infer that their estimate of value refers solely to the price or coat paid by the owner or shipper, and not the actual market value or wholesale price at the time of shipment in the principal markets of the country. This being the case, their appraisement is not in conformity with law, and cannot be treated or taken as valid and effectual, and must, consequently, be disregarded." The result at which the Secretary of the Treasury seems to arrive is, that so long as the present ad valorem system is continued, cases of the grossest fraud will prevail, and a home valuation is recommended. This is a matter in which the English shipper is so highly in terested, that we may hope there will be no extreme legislation resorted to. The following is an extract of a letter received by the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders from their agents at Bogota, Mersrs. Powles, Wilson, and Co., dated 13th September, and relating to the " Treasury Bills" lately issued by the New Granadian Government for the dividends in arrear:— " The Bonds (i. e. the above Treasury Bills,') we calculate will be worth from 75 to 80 per cent. in this country. The sale will be, however, slow." This extract is sufficient to dissipate in part the ap prehension expressed that the bonds would not realize above 30 to 50 per cent. The Stock Market opened very firmly, but has gone back a little since, owing to a money sale. The tone of the market, in the absence of adverse political intelli gence, is xceedingly firm, and there is a probability of its being sustained by the force of money, if nothing untoward occurs abroad. In the judgment of reflecting men, however, a condition of perfect tranquillity is not to be expected while the reactionists and progressives are, so strongly opposed to each other. Consols have been quoted 97 for Transfer, and 974 k for Account. Exchequer-bills have been marked 68s. to 715., and India Bonds 88s. premium. Bank Stock has been firm at 211, and India Stock at 269.

The Railway Market is good, and some of the shares have attained a higher value than at any period this year. Bladcwall are particularly in favour, upon the assumption that the North-Western Company intend offering an arrangement highly beneficial to the com pany, but nothing official on this subject has been allowed to transpire. North-Western shares likewise are better, having touched 1181. Midland have been locking up, and there is a further rise in Great Northern. York and North Midland, and York and Berwick are more buoyant, and most of the other shares are held for fuller prices. The foreign lines have been steady. Mining and Joint• Stock Bank shares have been in request. 8% LLOID'S SHIPPING.—( TH IS - " LONDON, OCT. 22.—Wi n d et noon N. to N . N. light breeze and dry weather.

It was rumoured that the relations between Spain and the United States were not of such a cordial nature as the well-wishers to both countries could wish, and that Mr. WEBSTER, the American Foreign Minister, had taken umbrage at the haughty tone of the last note presented from the Spanish Cabinet on the affairs of Cuba. _ _ _ MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 16.—Three per Cents., 34 9 16 ; Five per Cents., 131 paper.

The Minister of the ELECTOR of Hesse-Cassel made a formal report and application on the affairs of the Electorate to the Frankfort Diet on the 17th, which was referred to a Committee. Prussia con tinues firm in her purpose not to permit any inter vention by Austria or the Austrian Diet in the affairs of Hesse. At Cassel up to the 18th affairs con tinued in precisely the same state in which they had been for some time previously. It appears that the ELECTOR, on the one hand, has issued directions to General HAYNAU to remain for the present strictly on the defensive, that is, neither to advance nor recede. On the other hand, the Committee and its supporters have been urgently advised by the Prussian Govern ment to remain passive, and not adopt themselves, or allow to be adopted, any steps that may serve as a pretext for the employment of strong measures, and thence weaken their own cause. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Wil helmsbad of the 18th Oct.:— "It is a fact that: the propositions of M. Elvers have not been accepted by the Elector, but the intervention of MM. Duysing and Lossbarg have given another turn to the question. At present the Ministerial candidates have a prospect of obtaining the adoption of their pro gramme, and if we are well informed one of the chief obstacles to the re-establishment of the regular order of things has just been overcome." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. It was reported at Harnburgh on the evening of the 18th, that the troops on the right of the Schles wig-Holstein line were en gage d, b u t it was gene rally considered that it was merely an affair of outposts. At the Chapter of th e O r d ers h e ld b y th e Ki ng o f DENMARK on his birthday, at the Palace of Chris tiansborg, upwards of COO crosses of the different classes of the Dan nehrog w e r e di s t r ib u t e d a mong offi cers, non-commissioned, and so ldi ers o f the army. The gallant Lieutenant -Colonel HELGEsEN, who com manded at Frif-drichstadt, has been appointed Com mander of the Dannebrog. The Copenhagen Berlin gs k e , i n consequ ence of various reports circulated relative to the French Colonel DE LA TOUR DU PIN, publishes a few words to say that M. DE LA TOUR had arrived at Schleswig on the day subsequent to the battle of Idstedt, and had no command—that he left Schleswig before the affair of Missunde. The Berlingske then adds that the Colonel no sooner heard of the first attack on Friederichstadt, than he hastened to return to the arm y ( e n amateur), and reached the beleaguered place in time to witness the r e p u l se o f the enemy. The opposition in the Danish Chamber, although it criticises the c onduct of the G overnment as rega rds divers matter s of internal administration, appears to be nearly unanimous in approving of its political proceedings, and is specially satis fied with the skill and activity exhibited by the Minister of Finance, and with the details and explanations laid before the houses as accompaniments to the estimates. An objection, however, has been raised to the tax called " Con sumption contribution by General TCFIERNING, which he considers as premature, a n d above all con demns it from its being made exclusively applicable to the city of Copenhagen. GREECE. The latest accounts from Athens state that the general election had commenced throughout the country. M. Tincourr, at present Greek Minister in Paris, had been appointed to London, and MATROCORDATO had been appointed to Paris; METAXA also was to be sent on a foreign mission. , TH E BRAZILS. LIVERPOOL MONDAY.—The clipper barque Sera phina, which sailed from Pernambuco on the 12th ult., arrived here to-day with three days' later dates.t They do not, however, contain any intelligence e least interest or importance. Business affairs remained in the same 'state as last reported. Exchange unaltered, and freights rather more active. We learn from a source in which we place every reliance, that Ministers intend to bring in a measure, imme diately on the re-assembling of Parliament, for an extension of the elective franchise. Without professing to know the main features of the intended Bill, we have the best reasons for believing that it will contain such comprehensive provi sions as willi insure a very great addition to the constitu ency of the country. We have further reason to believe that the propriety of a very liberal extension of the elec toral: qualification will be among the first subjects which Lord Joh n R usse ll w ill bring under the consideration of his Cabinet, at it s approac hing series of meetings—the first of which takes pl ace t o -morruw.—Morni n g is now, we Advertiser.
