Majesty's ship North Star, east end of Navy Board Inlet, within Wollaston 26th August, 1850." The following memorandum was brought home by Commander Forsyth, of the Prince Albert : (GENERAL MEMORANDUM.) Her Majesty's ship Resolute, at sea, lat. 75 25 N , long. 61 34 W., July 25, 1850. In the hope that the expedition is now not fir dis tant from"the North Water, and although the nature and movements of the ice are so varied in different seasons as to prevent any determination of plan until the moment for acting arrives, it becomes desirable that what is contemplated in the prosecution of the charge assigned to me—the accomplishment of which we all have so much at heart—should be made known. I, therefore, here promulgate it, and it is to be re ceived as an a ddenda to the instructions issued by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and car ried out with all the earnestness and zeal that so highly-important a service demands. Toe circumstance of a tender being attached to each ship establishes in a great measure the security and Couffiene necessary in the proSecution of this service, which Would not be felt by one ve . sser alone, and admitS a partial separation for the season, to enable a mcre extended search being made. When maturely considering the most probable route of the missing expedition in its return by way of Lancaster Sound, or of any of the crews that might have left their vessels, it appears that they would have attempted to reach Pond's Bay, either during the late, autumn of last year or the earliest moment this spring, with the hopes of meeting the whalers in the present season. Therefore, the Resolute and her tender will pro ceed to Pond's Bay, and, if it can be done, commu nicate with the natives there; then, as circumstances admit, search along the shore on her way to Whaler Point. The Assistance and her tender will commence the search at Cape Warrender, continuing it along the north shore to Wellington Strait, examine its shores and neighbourhood, and proceed as far up it as is practicable and sufficient to fully satisfy that it has or has not been the course of the missing ships. As Mr. Penny, in his Success, will traverse the northern part of this strait, there is good reason to hope that so very important a doubt will be set at rest. Should any record be fOund of Sir John Franklin having proceeded in that direction, then it is to be made known to the Resolute by depositing a notice there - of either 'at Cape Riley or Cape Hotham, and the search proceeded with most vigorously, in which the Resolute will hasten to join at the earliest moment. But in the event of no record being found there— and it is most desirable and important that the ships should Meet; or at least communicate results of labours to this point—then the rendezvous to be between Cape's Rennell, Hotham, and Riley ; the Resolute standing to the northward from midnight to noon, and to the southward from noon to midnight, in the meridian of Cape Hotham. But should the examination of Wellington Strait be speedily accomplished without traces being found, and the Resolute not having reached the rend, zvous, then, in order to save time, the Assistance will take up the search to Cape Walker, examining its neigh bourhood thoroughly as lar as is practicable; and failing to obtain any information there, or to meet the Resolute, will then continue it on the north shore of the Parry Islands. And with a view to have a fixed place, where there is good reason to expect that vessels may reach, should the rendezvous, on account of time, fail for communication, then a full account of proceedings, which any ch suite cf plac.s called for from circum stances not anticipated ht-re, must be deposited at the southern extresnity of Griffith's Island. In the event of the Rssolute first reaching the ren dezvous between Capes Rennell, Hotham, and Riley, then all endeavour will be made to prosecute to the entrance of Wtllington Strait, touching at Cape Reilly and Cipe Hotham, in order, according to cir cumstances ; and failing to meet there with informa tion of the Assistance, or traces of the missing expe dition, will then proceed towards Capes Rennell and `~Walker; and not lindiog traces in that cirection, will continue the search in the south-vvest, towards Mel ville Island, where it would be expected to take up winter quarters. But if, on the contrary, traces are found, then the object of reaching Melville Island would be 'abandoned, and winter quarters taken in the south-west, 'according to circumstances. Should Assistande, on reaching Capellotham, dis covet ths t Resolute has preceded her, and gone on without finding any traces, she will make the best of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING-, OCTOBER 14, 1850 , her way in the di r'.'ction of Cape Walker; and, 'failing to meet wit F Resolute in that neighbourhood, : , or any record, will,, without delay, carry the search along the north shore of the Parry Islands. The Resolute, tailing to reach AL-lville Island to winter, will endeavour to communicate in early spring with Winter Harbour ; and, should Assist ance similarly fail, she must do the same, indepen dently of other searching parties that may be dis patched, as it is most important that the results of the several exanfinations made up to this period should be communicated. On every occasion of visiting the shore a record must be deposited comprising every necessary parti cular, taking as a guide my minute of the 3d instant, and being careful to note that a considerable supply of provisions and feel is deposited at Whaler Point, on the western entrance of Prince Regent's Inlet. With a view to attract the attention of any of the missing persons, care must be taken that, during the periods of darkness, and when fogs prevail, periodical signals are made—rockets, blue lights, guns, muskets, maroons, drums, gongs, bells, and whistles, being employed as most suitable, according to cir cumstances. When in open water a document is to be occasionally thrown overboard, containing the necessary particu lars as detailed in the printed papers supplied. The substance and spirit of their Lordship's orders under which I am acting must be the guide for any point not herein provided fur, or wherever doubt arises—as they will govern all the operations of the Resolute.

Portage La Locke, 30th July, 1850. My dear Sir John,—l have now the pleasure to acknowledge your several kind and interesting favours of 15th August, from Norway House; of . 18th and 19th, from Lake Winipeg ; and 6th September, from Rainy Lake, all of which reached me on the sth of April, by our usual winter express. By the Govern ment express I received three other letters from you on the 25th of June, and two more by L'Esperance, on the 25th inst.—the latest being dated on the 31 of April. A list of all the articles brought from Fort Confi dence to Fort Simpson was made out, and credited to the expedition ; but finding that all, or greater p ert, would be again required for the contemplated expe ditions, I do not send out any accounts of them. The quantity of dry meat remaining at Fort Con fidence before I left was 2,200 pounds, the best of which, amounting to 1,600 pounds, was brought away by us, and the remainder being poor stuff, was given to the Indians, as our boat could contain no more. Of the 1,600 pounds 850 were used on the voyage to Fort Simpson and Slave Lake, leaving 750 available. You are aware that I was, if possible, to resume my search this summer fur the unfortunate missing navigators. A Government express, convey ing in structions to this effect met me on the 25th ult., one day's journey below Slave Lake. Commander Pullen being in company with his party received orders to the same effect, the route pointed out for him being to the westward of the Coppermine, as far as Cape Bathurst, and from thence out to sea in the direction of Banks Land— rather a hazardous experiment with open boats. As the stock of provisions would not admit of two expe ditions being equipped, Pullen (who is much better fitted for such an undertaking in almost all respects than I am) had the preference, and will take with him pemmican and dry meat to the amount of about 4,500 pounds, which is to be stowed in one of our large batteaux, and in one of the Plover's boats. So small a quantity of provisions is left at Port Simpson that I do not know how our fall business is to be car ried on. Two of the Government men who were unfit for active duty returned to England, and three of the company's men, including . Niel M'Leod, have been engaged in their place. Its order, therefore, that the expenses incurred may not be entirely thrown away, I have determined to re turn to Bear Lake, and pass the winter at Furl Con fidence ; to build two boats there, similar to those of Deese and Simpson, and with them attempt, next summer, to reach 'Wollaston or Victoria Land, via the Coppermine. That the time should not be un profitably spent, I shall, with two or three men, visit the mouth of the Coppermine this fall, and probably .go as far as the bay where your boats were left in 1848, to see whether a " cache" of pemmican, de posited there last year, is still safe. This I doubt, as the stony nature of the ground was unfavourable to perfect concealment. Should we be fortunate in pro curing provisions during the winter, and air party be healthy in the spring, I shall endeavour to proceed twelve or fourteen days' journey to the northward, over the ice, in the month of May next; and in the event of being unsuccessful, as in all probability is e shall be, the boats will be ordered to meet me at the Kendall; and should the ice permit I shall, with them, endeavour to blot out the memory of my last year's failure. In forming this plan I have been ac tuated by but one feeling—namely, the desire of pur suing the route in which there is the greatest proba bility of gaining some information, or finding traces of the gallant navigators or their vessels. To facilitate this I have requested Mr. Hargrave to procure an Esquimaux interpreter from Churchill, to replace poor Albert, and to forward him by winter to Mac kenzie's River.; also to send the Halkett's boat that I had, with one at Repulse Bay. Captain Pullen re quested me to make over all the instruments of your expedition to him as soon as he was aware of his re • turning to the coast. This lat once agreed to do, as he may want most of them at winter quarters. I cannot say much in favour of the men that have been engaged for me. They are all, without excep tion either Indians or half-breeds from Red River— good enough men in their way, but not well fitted for what we have to do. I omitted to mention in the proper place that when the winter packet arrived, and I received your in structions respecting the establishment of an Indian party on the Coppermine, the Martin Lake chief " Tecoon , ne-betah," with his party, was at. Fort Simpson, and I ja ad no difficulty in engaging them to psi the summer at certain stations in the route be tween the Kendall and the Bear Lake. The leader received three notes, which were to be delivered to any Europeans they might meet, in which the stran gers were requested to put themselves wholly in the hands of the Indians, who would guide them by the best roads to the nearest post, and feed them by the way. In the event of net seeing any parties, other notes, with a rough chart of the best route, were sup plied, well wrapped in oil-cloths, which were to be placed on , poles in conspicuous stations. Having errived here long before L'Esperance, and there being ten cargoes to take over the portage, our provisions would have been done ere this, had I not, fortunately, brought two nets, with which we catch as many fish in the lake as feed half our party. My companion at Bear Lake wiil be Mr. Macken zie, whom you saw at Fort Norman. He is a fine active fellow, and a good shot. I have promised him 301. per annum, which I do not think too much. I am yours most respectfully and truly, (Signed) JOHN RAE. DEATH Or MAJOR-GENERAL WINGROVE.

In our paper of the 28th ult. we inserted four-and-twenty lines frcm a correspondent, directing atten tion to the fact, that instead of continued iron palisades in front of the new British Museum, as originally intended, a high stone wall was to be erected at each end of the enclosure in Great Russell-street, extending some yards beyond the residences which are unluckily tacked on to the structure. Our contemporaries of the daily press reprinted and com mented on the letter, and the result, we are glad now to be able to state, is, that the walls are given up, and that the original plan will be reverted to. We need scarcely say that we heartily congratulate the public and the trustees on the determination of this question. The wall would have been a great eyesore, especially at the Montagu-street corner, and would Lave blocked up the place must unnecessarily and in juriously. The public, or rather their representatives, should take warning from this occurrence, and insist, with regard to public buildings and works, in which their honour, con venience, and instruction are concerned, and for which they find the money, on knowing exactly what is going to be done before the works are commenced. Had this been done in the case of the Museum itself, that building, stately and noble as it will be when completed, would have been very dif ferent in character and arrangement,— much more convenient and spacious, and much less costly, as compared with com modiousness and extent.—Budder.

Burglary has latterly become an offence of such fre qnen t occurrence that some preventive system must se, riously be devised for its suppression. Otherwise the law will continue to be violated in a manner so flagrant as seriously to mar the influence of the constituted authorities. Without some energetic effort be made in this direction the consequences must be as incal- culable as they have hitherto proved calamitous• From the impunity of previous offenders, others are induced to speculate in the perpetration of crimes yet more flagrant and audacious. From a burglar, a man is incited by success to become a systematic footpad. From the unpunished commission of petty larcenies, an offender has not unfrequently been in• duced to adventure upon the exploits of a highway man. Matters are becoming altogether too serious in this regard to admit of any further trifling. Either the majesty if the law must be vindicated upon the gangs of robbers now infesting the country, or the inhabitants of this land of boasted security and civili. zation must continue liable to have their dw•e', ling-houses broken open in the dead of the night, and their very lives placed in peril of assassination. The late melancholy catas trophe at Frimley has shown rather conspicuously how the guilt of murder may arise out of the less heinous crime of burglary. It is with a view, therefore, not only to the well-ordering of society, but wish a solicitude to witness the better conservation of the lives and property of the unoffen ding members of the community, that we here direct attention to the atro cities flowing from a shameful laxity of vigilance and a most culpable insufficiency of punishment. That such repeated outrages should be per petrated throughout a kingdom like this, in an ;age like the present, under the ' vaunted shield of a constitution like - our own, is a circumstance surely fraught to ourselves with shame and amazement. Where, in Heaven's name, are those manifold advantages said to accrue to the exiting generation from the adiancement of science and' the general progress of civilization ? W here are the benefits arising from the municipal police and the couptyconStabulary ? Where .are,t he good results of all those lines of railway, of ail those intricate threads of the electric telegraph which intersect the pro vinces in almost every conceivable direction, rendering our intelligence in a manner, so b Speak, endowed with the mysterious power of übiquity ? Where are all these and a thousand other so-called beneficial consequences of the recent development of knowledge, and of the extension of our experience —When we find the houses of our peaceful citizens broken open again and' again, their apartments ransacked, their plate and jewels purloined, their private papers wantonly de stroSTed, and sometimes they themselves cruelly shot doWn on their own hearths, or' most brutally blud- geoned ? Nor must it be presumed by the unob servant that these thirgs take place alone in the " rural districts, in places to some extent with drawn from the watchful care of a police maintained with a cost and care so very considerable. Only a -- week or so back, we had to record an outrage of this character committed •in the very heart of this busy metropolis, and that, moreover, not during the hours of darkness, when an oversight in the police might be pardonable, but actually during the hours .of ordi nary business. Nor is the case of Mr. CIIIIZTON, the victim in question, strange though it be, so Singular as 'to be unprecedented. Even since the recent period when that gentleman was nearly strangled by ' the ruffians, who carried away part of his curious and valuable •property with such consummate, and, we might almost call it, admirable impudence, even within the last week we have had occasion to notice a most daring highway robbery, perpetrated in one of our most crowded thorough fares. U n happily, however, it is unnecessary to.par ticularise individual instances of crimes of this cha racter, seeing that scarcely one broad sheet of a daily newspaper can be published stithout some new record of some additional offence of the description. _The question is, in short, not Are these crimes of frequent occurrence ? but How can they be most effectually suppressed ? • • Various suggestions have been made as to the best method of henceforth guarding against burglary both ' in town and country. One of the latest and most in genious is to the effect that recourse shall again be had to the old plan of suspending an alarm• bell con spicuously on the outside of every se cluded domicile in such a way as to be in communication with the different sleeping apartments. Robbers would no doubt be deterred in many cAses by a precaution of this simple nature ; yet, beyond this, other remedies, reme dies, too, of a more decisive kind, must be adopted by the community, or otherwise the evil can never be ett=c tually eradicated. For the present we would brit fly but most emphatically suggest, that in every instance where the police can be shown to have been grievously negligent, they may be visited with the most severe and summary punishment. We cannot call to recollection any instance in which the want of activity and vigilance on the part of these so-termed guardians of the public has been more glaringly dis played tbanthat which has been mentioned•by a provin • cial contemporary as having within the last few days occurred at Birmingham. Elsewhere will be found the particulars of the murderous attack made on the 7th inst. by a party of burglars on the person of Mr. THOMAS MARSTON, a gold and silver beater of that city. It will be seen from the detailed narrative of the Birmingham Journal that, although the unfortu nate gentleman defended himself for a considerable time with the utmost gallantry in a band-to-hand en counter with bis assailants, two or three policemen (one of them a sergeant, and another a sub-inspector) stood outside the front door of the premises, quietly looking on and listening to the disturbance, while the robbers bludgeoned Mr. MARSTON into a state of insensibility, and then coolly made their escape unmole3ted. Any evidence of stupidity comparable to this we cannot call to recollection. There was the tradesman him self, shouting for aid as a man may be supposed to shout when defending himself from the blows of as sassins, there were his daughter and a servant screaming from one of the windows for assistance,there were a sergeant and a sub-inspector of police listening for a long while to their entreaties for their inter ference—and yet only effecting their entrance when the street.door was opened for them on the in side, when Mr. MARSTON was found lying covered with blood and in a state of insensibility on the stair case, and when the perpetrators of this murderous outrage had adroitly absconded at their convenience. Again we say, that one of the most effectual means of preventing the continuance of this organized system of burglary is the infliction of some punishment upon the police whenever they are proved to have betrayed a gross and culpable want of vigilance. The only subjects of any importance now agitating he political world in Ireland appear to be the enun- ciation of the Catholic Bishops . in reference to the proposed Catholic University, and the proceedings of the Irish Tenant League. We shall for the present, commit their right reverences to more pious bands, and shall turn to what we conceive the mere impor- cant subject—the Irish Landlord Question. We have frequently through the' columns of this journal — long before the formation of the Tenant League — emphatically impressed on the Government the ne cessity of adjusting the relations between the land lords and tenants of Ireland by legal interposition. We were unable to see any other means of stemming the tide of crime and misery which overflowed that wretched country in consequence oi the state of land- law there ; we conceived there could be no security for the life and property of the land lord till the tenant had &fixed, safe, and permanent interest in the soil. Every day's experience convinces us that we were right, and our exertions shall not cease till we see this subject fairly and legally settled with a due' consideration for the interests of all. This question has lately, through the proceedings of the Tenant League, occupied a considerable portion of public attention at both sides of the channel. In Ireland, particularly, it has been invested with a pe culiar interest from the novel confederation it has produced —sects and classes, hitherto kept asunder by religious prejudices, have formed a holy alliance upon common ground. The Celt and the Saxon, the Catholic, Protestant, and Presbyterian have united in one solemn and peaceful league for the attainment of legislation upon this subject. With the propositions of the Irish Tenant League, or the mode which they would prescribe for the legal settlement of the question, we have at present nothing to do, and shall content ourselves to-day wtil'a few words as to the propriety, nay, the NECESSITY, of legal interposition between the landlords and tenants of Ireland. Many who argue against legislation upon this sub- . ject put forward strange and, to our minds, very un tenable doctrines; some say the law should not inter- fere with solemn and voluntary contracts, but should leave them to free competition. Now the most superficial knowledge of , the laws of the land would convince this class that such contracts have been fre- quently the subjects of legislation. Though we deem it scarcely necessary, yet we can refer to the Fac tories Bill, the Health of Towns Bill, the Truck Bill, and various others where voluntary contracts have beed interfered with. Others, again, not rash enough to maintain this doctrine, adopt the artifice of ingenious sophistry, and would beg the question that land contracts differ in some imaginary essence from all other contracts, To these we would say, all tenures and contracts of land are the creations of the law, and are subject to the revision of• the power which made them, when ever social order or the public good require it. Is the shield of the law to be thrown over the factory girl and' the 'miner, and refused to the tiller of land in Ireland ? Others, still blinded to facts and the history of Irish landlordism, say—Show us the NECESSITY for in • terfering with the ancient usages and the established laws on this subject. The handwriting on the wall would, we fear, con vey no warning to such as these. Can they not read the dread necessity in the most cruel evictions ? Can they not see it in old roof-trees scattered to the winds, and the wretched inmates sent to perish ley the wayside? Can they not see it in the midnight incendiary, who, in the reckless insanity of despair, consigns house, life, and pr o p er ty to the flames ? Can they not see the dire n ecess it y f or l e gislation on this , point in the mid-day assass i n , broad light of heavenwho, in the , with blood-stained hands, sends his victim unprepared before his 'MAKER ? Will they still leave the Irish land question to such legislators as these ? If the hideous scenes of crime, and cruelty, and blood, which h ave resu lted from the pret la t law, or, p er h a p s m ore appropri ately, eland, will not convince such persons of the NECE SSITY of legislation, further argu ment with them wou ld he n 6 nd A l t o e r d o - f l al awnd in - useless, for no reasoning could convince. One of the greatest organ s of public intelligence — we will not say of public opinion —in this, or perhaps in any other country, has frequently pealed forth its thunders to obstruct the settlement of this question by legal on• interpositt • 'The first argument advanced by this organ was, in substance, this—that the tenure of land in England and Ireland was the same, and was not the subject of a trust in either country. In reply to this we demonstrated that the landlords in six counties of Ulster held their lands, not for their own private benefit alone, but for the ad vantage. of the settlers upon. those lands also, and that, legally, any violation of those conditions would amount to a forfeiture of their estates. It next ad vanced the strange progpsition that yoluntary con tracts were beyond the province of the law. To this we replied by f a ds and precedents. Driven from these outposts, it then threw upon its adversaries the onus to show the NECESSITY for legislation upon land contracts. To this we think we have also sa'isfectorily replied. What effect our reasoning may have upon the mutations of the kaleide scope of Printing-house- s quare we cannot presume to say ; but, perhaps, what our plain reasoning could not effect will be accomplished by a few resent and 'intelligible hints from a higher quarter, and that in the future consideration of this question we shall have our contemporary as a powerful ally instead of a dangerous adversary. It has been frequently our pleasing duty to do jus tice to the ability with which Lord CLARENDON has' administered the affairs of Ireland. No Irish Governor had ever more difficulties to encounter—no statesman could have met those difficulties with more firmness and wisdom ; his almost intuitive foresight • enabled him to crush rebellion, without bloodshed, and the extraordinary powers with which he was entrusted by Parliament he exercised with a mode ration that does him honour. It would appear that the NECESSITY, which some of our contemporaries cannot see, has been fully recognised by this wise and able statesman. In reply to a very temperate ad dress • from the " Ulster Tenant Right Provincial Committee," his Excellency says, "That it would be improper on his part to discuss the relations that should subsist between landlord and tenant, As TUE QUESTION WILL BE DROUGHT UNDER TUB CONSIDERATIO N OF PARLIAMENT NEXT SESSION ; and you may rest assured it is the earnest desire of her MAJESTY'S Government to promote such an arrange ment as may be satisfactory to all parties concerned: , His Excellency goes on to say that landlords and ,tenants are mutually dependent on each other, and that their" interests are identified ; " but his Excellency is convinced that IN IRELAND, AS ELSEWHERE, respect for the rights of property will be found perfectly compatible with that SECURITY AND CONFIDENCE upon which the PROFITABLE INVESTMENT OF CAPITAL MUST DEPEND.' Such is the emphatic and significant language of one of the best and wisest statesmen that ever ruled the destinies of Ireland, and we trust it will for ever silence the twaddle about the " sacred rights of pro perty," the " inviolability of voluntary contracts,' , &c. &c., and that henceforward those who have con trol over that mighty engine for good or ill—the public press—will exercise their power for the attain ment of that most desirable end, the rendering life and property really sacred, by procuring for the occupier of the soil a fixed, secure, and equitable interest. 'THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. They are filled with reports of what passed at the sitting of the Commission of Permanence, but these reports are RO contradictory that it is almost impos sible to believe that all the journals are speaking of the same occurrence. For instance, the Journal des Debats, in speaking of the proceedings of Friday, says :- _ _ . •' The Commission met to-day, M. Dupin in the chair. All the members who took part in the meeting (f TU43- day last were present, as also AM. Mole and Berryer. The Commission heard the accounts of the review. It apt:of ared struck by certain manifestations which took place after the example given by some officers. It is said to have expressed much astonishment that the Mi nister of War did nothing to prevent such manifestations, and which he himself had censured at the last meeting of the Commission. The Commission adjourned to the next day to resume their deliberations. On the other hand the Constitutionnel declares : " We can assure our readers that no Minister was re quired by the Commission of the National Assembly to give explanations about the review. The Commission did not see in what passed at Sartoiy anything which called for the extraordinary and immediate convocation of the National Assembly." Whilst the National reports that— " The Commission, dccidtd, after an animated discus sion, that the accounts given by the members should be inserted in the minutes for the information of the As sembly. The Commission, moreover, adopted a resolu tion to the effect that it saw with pleasure the calm and s yeopa thatisxful hsecbtuoni the tsri t eeieec tdde a caa t obntavblmi blamed u mimtir d ht yeah e iednue ion commanding nxpngadcirl some seem: smdeffil e o eerne s nep t acetol esorfusr t osre h v vrfede e trsb f i ienyodce t ne b bocstn e eoymtar tmetrafilifsonasfuti officers fi , ent ,icß a org n neer d ss: follow d th e troops, their own resist all attempts; and it therefore thought proper to do no more than merely note in writing the facts that had occurred and the impression produced by them." In seeking to form a fair judgment from the compari son with each other of these contradictory reports, we must bear in mind one important fact, the existence of which is scarcely compatible with the accuracy of the report of the Constitutionnel—the Committee, after sitting for some hours, adjourned to the next day. If the report of the Constitutionnel be correct, it is scarcely possible .to imagine what necessity there could have been for any adjournment. It appears that at the meeting of the Corn mittee, they refused to confirm the minutes of the proceedings of the former sitting, which had been drawn up by M. LEON FAUCHER, and which softened down the nature of the explanations demanded of General D'HaurrouL. Having referred back these minutes for correction, the Committee resolved that the accounts given by its different members of what each had observed at the review should be in scribed in the prods verbal, for the inforniation of the Assembly. During the course of the discussion attention was drawn to the circumstance that Colonel DE MONTALAMBERT, the brother of the Comte DE MONTALEMDERT, the Jesuit orator of the Assembly, bad made himself most conspicuous by shouting " Vive l'Empereur," in which he was, it is said, en couraged by Colonel EDGAR NET, aide-de-camp of the PRESIDENT. After a great deal of discussion the Committee ad journed to Saturday, and, on their re-assembling on that day, the following vote of censure on General bllauTeouL, the Minister of War, was agreed to, the Count Dann being the only member of the Committee who' opposed it :—" The Committee considers it its duty to record in its procas verbal the disapprobation twohiicthat its tssittingattaches of yesterday, to theefearcdayts,hy the memberswhich of the Committee who were present at the review which took place on Thursday on the plain of Batory. It also disapproves of the acts of encouragement which produced these manifestations, and the absence of all repression of the acts com plained of, notwithstanding the warnings given to the Minister of War, and the promises made by him on that subject to the Commission, to the effect that he would enforce the observance of the rules of military service and maintain the discipline of the army. Nevertheless, the Committee, considering the general attitude of the troops, who only yielded, and that to a very limited extent, and by a spirit of obedience to the illegal encouragement and provocations of some of their leaders at the moment of the defiling, is of opi nion that there is no occasion to convoke the Legisla tive Assembly at the present moment, and adjourns tid the next meeting." The Bulletin de Paris of yesterday denies that Colonel NET, aide• de- camp of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, encouraged the officers to shout " Vive l'Empereur !" and " Vire Napoleon !" on the con trary, he tried, but in vain, to prevent them. The Patrie has long been hesitating between Bona partism and Legitimacy ' • it has at length declared for the former, and all the Legitimatist editors have in consequence quitted it. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, reducing the export duty on cast iron from 25c. to lc. the 100 kilogramme!. The same official journal publishes a second decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing Ad miral MONTAGNES DE LA ROQUE to the command of the fleet in the Levant, in the place of Admiral Tan- HOURT, whose period of service has expired. The Moniteur publishei a notice from the Minister of Commerce, announcing that in future no cigars can be imported by foreigners residing in France without a special permission from the Minister. The Five per Cents. were quoted in the Passage de I'Opera at 91T. 70c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK 'EXCHANGE, OCT. 12. Namur and Liege, 8— Orleans and Bordeaux, 2. 5 i— Sambre and Meuse, 234. ITALY. The Italian loan proposed by the Austrian Go vernment for the Lombard-Venetian kingdom has turned out a complete failure. Only 600,000 lire have been subscribed, and ROTHSCUILD has remained completely aloof from it; white be has, on the con trary, taken the Piedmontese loan on advantageous terms. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. MR. F. W. BRANDAU'S CONCERT. Mr. F. W. Brandau gave on Saturday evening a concert in the theatre of the Royal Polytechnic In stitution, the performers in which were all young aspirants, as yet unknown, to fame — pupils, in short , of Mr. Brandau and of various other professors. The young " aspirants" all acquitted themselves in a most satisfactory manner ; but among them Miss Law, a pupil of Signor Crivelli, is worthy of more especial mention. She sang Horn's beautiful cavatina, " Through the Wood," and several other airs with exquisite taste ; her voice is a soprano of excel lent quality. Mr. D. E. Sutch bids fair to become one of the first buffo singers of the day; his perform ance of " Fayre Rosamonde " was distinguished by true comic gusto. The theatre was crowded, the applause was enthusiastic, and everybody was encored in everything. BLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY.---AS the shares of this company have lately risen in the market, and promise to go up much higher, perhaps the di rectors will not be displeased at our drawing their attention to a little matter which would greatly tend to the comfort of the numerous passengers arriving by the Star Packet and other companies' boats at Blackwell. Send all luggage in by another entrance than that by which passengers go. If the boat be too late for the train, the pw sen gers are crowded into the waiting-room, which is far too small for accommodation ; but to add to the in convenience, a host of porters with trunk., &c , keep rushing in and pushing along amongst the crowd to the ticket place, utterly regardless of ladies' bonnets, gentle men's faces, and whatever obstructs their rude progress., No w, if these packages were ordered in by the side pas sages, of which there are several, it would not only tend to the public convenience, but would facilitate the business of the railway company, by saving much precious time, and enabling people to look about them ; for certain questionable characters generally press ou the heels of the porters and take advantage of the confusion. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE HON. MR. DUNCOMBE —We understand that, on Thursday evening, a serious ac• cident occurred to one of the sons of Lord Faversham, whilst hunting, but we have not yet heard the particulars Dr. Simpson, of York, attended upon the sufferer late on Thursday night, and also yesterday. York Herald of Saturday. Owing to the late Eisteddfod at Rhuddlan, and the pressure of other business, we have not had an opportunity of noticing the subscriptions that have been made at Conway and Bangor for the Polish, Hungarian, and Italian refugees in this country. The facts, however, are highly creditable to the parties concerned , and may be thus briefly stated. About three weeks ago a collection was made at onway for the relief of these unfortunate exiles, which was most libe rally supported, and is we understand yet open for further donations; and in Bangor, on Sunday night last, at the Calvinistic Chapel, eight pounds were contributed, in small sums, for the same generous purpose. We are truly gratified to record these instances of the good feeling of our friends in the two localities referred to. Their charitable deeds will, we doubt not, be followed up by our countrymen at large, so that the sum finally raised may be such as to suit the mag nitude and emergency of the occasion. Independently, how ever, of the monetary aid so much needed by the exile, we attach importance to the expression of popular sympathy which these meetings make manifest to the world. They serve the important purpose of demonstrating the fact, that Great Britain is not only a " City of Refuge" to the unfor tunate, but that they find a home weleome in the hearts of the people.— Carnarvon Herald. FATAL COLLlSlON.—Yesterday morning, about two o'clock. the sailing barge Emma Clay, belonging to Mr. Meredith, potato merchant, of Hillyer's wharf, Shadwell, was lying at anchor off Northfleet, waiting the turn of the tide, whys an apprentice who was keeping watch observed a brig, apparently a collier, bearing down. He hailed her, but finding they did not heed him, he ran aft and called down the companion to rouse Morris, the master; but he had scarce done so when tke brig came stem on, striking the barge on the larboard quarter. The apprentice cut the boat's painter and jumped in, and had hardly shoved ofl when the barge went down with Morris, his wife, and child. Morris, however, almost instantly came to the sur face, and was rescued by the apprentice. Mrs. Morris and her infant, four months old, perished. It was a clear, starlight night. Whether those on board the brig were aware or not of the amount of mischief they had occasioned, they held on their course. DOINGS IN THE DOCKS.—A correspondent says,— " I here are upwards of 60 landing-waiters, weighers, lockers, and gaugers taking stock in the vaults and warehouses of the St. Katherine and London Docks. In some of the ware houses there are tens of thousands of packages to be exa mined. There is great mystery observed about the stock taking, but the Custom-house authorities appear to be con fident that when their labours are completed they shall be able to make revelations about the practices in the above mentioned docks which will astonish the commercial public. At present there is no idea that the directors of the docks themselves are at all implicated in any improper trans actions." BREAKING OF BALLOCLI SUSPENSION BRIDGE.— Oa Saturday last,iwhile a small flock of sheep was passing along Balloch Suspedsion Bridge, which spans the River Leven, near the entrance to Lochlomond, it suddenly gave way in the middle, at the south side, and sunk about twelve inchea, the other side remaining as before. The rupture seems to have been caused by the snapping of two rods, each about an inch in diameter, and this has led to the twisting and breaking of other parts, which will make the whole fabric difficult to repair, and costly at the same time, though we have no doubt that in a few days it will be all right again. In the meantime traffic, excepting for foot passen gers, is stopped along the bridge, though luckily the bridge at Bonhill, which is not far distant, will supply the want till the repair be effected. The bridge is upon Credge's prin ciple, and is a very beautiful object in the landscape, being much admired by . strangers. It has stood for upwards of eight years, and during the last Moss of Balloch Fair, was at times crowded with hundreds of people (exceeding in weight at least ten times that of the sheep) without evinc ng the least weakness. It is singular that the fracture took place opposite to the side of the bridge on which the sheep were placed at the time. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma were admitted members of the college at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 11th inst.:— Messrs. Sidney Henson, Hull ; John Wright Baker, Derby ; George Harley, Haddington, Scotland; John West Walker, Spilsby, Lincolnshire; William Browne, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury ; Henry Allen Aldred, Blackfriars-road ; Thos. Seward Holland, Cork; and 11 illiam Heron, Belfast. THE FRENCH NAVY.—The history of the Ville de Paris, line-of-battle-ship, just launched at Rochefort, is rather curious. Her keel was laid down in ►BO7, when it was in tended that her name should be the Ville deVienne. At the restoration it was changed to that of the Comte d'Artois ; the revolution of July again altered it to the Ville de Paris, after one which was built at Rochefort in the reign of Louis XV. The total cost of this ship is estimated at 2,564,42,f. 70c., viz.:—Materials and labour, 1,180,5'33f. 79c.; arma• ment, 902,6-.9f. 6 c. ; guns, 310,8 lef. 35c. ROBBERY AT ST. BRIDE'S CHURCH, FLEET-STREET. —A robbery was perpetrated at St. Bride's Church, at mid day, on Friday. It appeared that divine service had been performed in the morning; and it is supposed that the thief bad secreted hiinself in the organ loft. Between two and three o'clock in the afternoon a waggon-load of coke or coal was being delivered at the church, when the sexton discovered that the poor-box had been broken open, and the contents carried away. On looking around him, he also discovered th at the cushions at the altar had been , stripped of their rich velvet covering, and that other depre dations had been committed. On communicating these facts to the churchwardens, an instant examination was made, when it was found that the sacramental plate had not been removed, owing ; probably, to the thief being dis , turbed by the sexton when he opened the doors to admit the coke. Not the slightest trace of the property has been discovered. APPROACH OF WINTER.—The Bradford Observer states that the hills surrounding Holmfirth were on Saturday last slightly covered with snow. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6th have been received. It was rumoured that NARVAEZ had taken great offence at what be considered an insult that had been offered to General SEERANO (who had gone to Court at his suggestion), by the QUEEN and by the KING CONSORT, and that he had determined to tender his resignation in consequence. It was further stated that in the event of his so tendering it, his resignation would be accepted, and that to General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA would be entrusted the task of construct ing a new Ministry, of which PACHECO and Rios ROSAS would be members. The Bolsa was closed. GERMANY. To this may be added the report sent to Copen hagen on the 6±, by the Commander-in-Cuief in Schleswig : " The intelligence received last evening from Fried reichstadt is as glorious as satisfactory; it proves that this point can be very well held. With the most deter mined coolness the attempt of the enemy to storm the place was four times repulsed, although at one time one of their flags was planted on a breastwork, and the con flict became hand to hand. The earthworks and the guns, notwithstanding the heavy fire the enemy kept up from all his batteries, have suttained little or no injury; but the town ;s reduced to a total heap of ruins, wi:h the exception of the north western portion, partly by fire and partly by the im mense number of heavy shot which have battered down the walls. •' The spirit of our troops in Fredtirichstadt is excel lent. The enemy have gained nothing, while the severe loss they have suffered in the defeated attempt at storm ing the place must certainly have a depressing effect on their troop. " In proportion to the obstinacy of the conflict our own less is said', amounting (besides two officers, Lieu tenants Vaupel and Wadskaer, killed) to 120 subaltern officers killed and wounded. The number the enemy have lost cannot be given, but far more than 100 dead bodies having been picked up in front of the works, it must be very heavy. " Of our officers, Captain Von Schauman and Lieu tenant Vusa are wounded." The Kolner Zeitung publishes a letter from Frank fort of the 11th, which states that the two Austrian corps in Bohemia and Vorarlberg were advancing upon the frontiers to carry out the intervention in Electoral Hesse, when they received counter orders and fell back into their old positons. Count TIiIIN, the Austrian agent at Frankfort, received this news on the afternoon of the 10th, when the Frankfort Council had just resolved to call in the intervention of Austria and Bavaria in Hesse. It is stated that Lord PALMERSTON'S protest induced the Cabinet of Vienna to abandon the thought of an armed inter vention. The Frankfort Council (says the correspondent of the Kohler Zeitung) was by no means edified by this backward move on the part of Austria, and much less so by the news that the negotiations at Rumpen heim may possibly lead to a change in the Govern ment of Hesse. Our advices from Cassel are of the 10th instant. M. OETKER is still in prison. From Hanau we learn that the officers of that garrison have resolved to fol low the examples of their comrades at Cassel. Great excitement prevails at the Russian Embassy , in Vienna, and it is said that Russia is urging Aus tria to interfere in the affairs of Hesse. The Austrian Correspondent speaks of an alliance offensive and defensive between Austria, Bavaria, Wirtemburg, and Saxony. A letter from Frankfort of the Bth says— " Now that the German Diet has ratified the treaty of peace concluded Letween Deamark and Prussia, Baroa 13ulow Ambassador from Denmark to the Ditt , will, immediately upon the ratification being exchanged, maks some propositions relative to Holstein. It is his inten tion to propose that ,orders should be sent, having fur their object the reduction of the Holstein army to one third its present amount; and that the tranquillity of Holstein should be prt served by the federal troops—a proposition t , .) which, we are persuaded, the Diet will give their sanction."

The position of the French Government attracts cow' siderable interest here, and it is doubted whether upon the re-openin‘ of the Legislature there will not be con siderable agitation to an extent affecting public con dance.

A letter from the British Consul at Vera Cruz to the Committee of Mexican Bondholders reports most favour' ably of the prospect of an arrangement of the debt, and suggests that instructions should be given to Mr. Fa' connet to obtain some security fur the ptinettlai carrying out hereafter of any agreement. Thie gentleman further states his knowledge that the Mexican Government fully appreciates the *sacrifice o making by the bondholders, and desires to act perfect good faith. This is so far cheering, and th e chief thing will be to guard against what a future Gs' verntnent may do.
