Portugal has just experienced the loss of one of her greatest statesmen. October the 12th, 18So ' witnessed the close of a career which had commenced in 1731, on the Bth of May, consequently the de ceased was in the seventieth year of his age, and pre pared, as far as his political reputation was concerned, to resign a life not prematurely terminated. In the scroll of those annals which are adorned with the names of so many persons of illustrious character, that of PALMELLA will shine not the least conspicu ously. If on the tablets of Portugal CAMOBNS shines forth as her greatest poet, and Don HEN -• 'MOE as her greatest navigator, PALMELLA will maintain there also a splendid pre-eminence as one of the wrest and purest of her statesmen. His celebrity will survive in the recollection of his coun trymen associated with the fame of his remarkable colleagnes at the Congress of Vienna—with such a'tu e 113 otiators as CASIILEBEAGEI 7 NBSSBLZODB, METTERNICH, and TALLEYRAND. Nevertheless, bril liant as was the part taken by PALMELLA on that r memorable occasion, during the whole of those mo mentous deliberations, it dwindles into comparative 1 insignificance when contrasted with his subsequent share in influencing the fortunes of the House of Braganza. To PALMELLA, indeed, may be attributed almost as large a participation in the responsibilities of the Portuguese Government as appertained for up wards of thirty years uninterruptedly to Prince METTERNICH in the government of the affairs of Aus tria. And, in the latter instance, it cannot easily be forgotten that the imperial occupant of the palace of Schoenbrunn had throughout that period sunk into the subordinate capacity of a secretary, while his principal administrator had risen almost to the dig nity of a dictatorship. With the Duke of PALMELLA, however, the difference was that of a friend to a con stitutional form of government, instead of an aspi rant or an instrument for despotism. Having im bibed an early predilection for the liberal institutions of England, he endeavoured so far to apply the prin ciples of our Constitution to the administration of the affairs of Portugal as to secure a better understanding than had hitherto long existed between the Portuguese SOVEREIGN and the Portuguese population. While striving in this manner to effect a beneficial change in the political machinery of the Lisbon Government, his efforts were interrupted by the contention which arose between DoM PEDRO and DoM MIGUEL imme diately on the death of their father Joust Vl.—a quarrel which was ultimately brought to a settlement by the elevation of DONNA MARIA DA GLORIA to the Throne of the Braganzas. In arriving at this solu tion of her dynastic difficulties, Portugal had to thank the diplomatic adroitness of PALMELLA, to whose genius for negotiation the quadruple alliance was mainly attributable. Whatever may have been the consequences of the treaty arising out of that alliance it has never been imputed to the departed statesman that, in acting as he did on the occasion, he was actu ated by any other motives than those of the most patriotic character. Latterly, it is true, in conse quence of a lamentable infatuation in favour of the CABRALS, the Duke of PALMELLA had witnessed the declension of his authority in the royal counsels, and at length found himself ousted from the supreme posi tion he had so long occupied with honour to himself and advantage to his country. Notwithstanding this ungrateful treatment of one eminently distinguished by his services to the Crown, he himself only very recently responded to it by a generous display of magnanimity. At the period when the Portuguese nation was embroiled in a civil warfare which threatened at one moment to subvert the existing institutions of the country, at the time when the Royal Cabinet at Lisbon " paled its ineffec tual fires " before the then brighter luminary the Junta at Oporto, PALMELLA, in lieu of revealing his chagrin at the conduct of his ungrateful SOVEREIGN by joining the ranks of her antagonists, employed all his conciliatory skill and influential expe rience in bringing about a reconciliation between the infuriated belligerents. In this, as in so many previous undertakings, he proved to be eminently successful; for, however quietly or unostentatiously exercised, the adroitness of his diplomacy was scarcely second to that of Lord PALMERSTON in bringing about a rapid and, to a certain extent, satisfactory settlement. The clouds which at one period threatened to rain destruction on the head of MARIA DA GLORIA were dissipated through the influence of her faithful subject, PALMELLA, almost as much as through the force of British power, acting un der the ministerial direction of PALMERSTON. A brief interval elapsed, and the primary cause of this propitious change witnessed a renewal of every previous act of ingratitude—the Count DE THOMAR being at the first convenient opportunity restored to his post at the head of the Administration. For whatever satisfactory modification is visible in the political constitution of Portugal that country is almost entirely indebted to the Duke of PALMELLA. For inasmuch as corruption has crept into high places, for inasmuch as discontent has been sown broadcast throughout the land, for inasmuch as the Ministers of the QUEEN have became objects either of suspicion or of abhor rence, the deceased patriot is altogether free from the responsibility of an imputation. His aim was to esta blish, during a blessed lapse of peace, a lapse of more than thirty years' duration, a constitutional mo narchy free from all the blemishes incidental to despotic government. To this end he strove, as far as was practicable, to take advantage of the ex ample presented to European nations by the wise and liberal fabric of the British C onstitu tion. Nor were these endeavours of his alto• gether ineffectual. Many of the principles incorporated in our written and unwritten codes were 1 engrafted upon that which, under a modified form, still kept together in some sort of harmony and sub ordination the social fabric of Portugal. Yet in de fiance of all the incontestable advantages derived from their sagacious and beneficent innovations, the Duke of PALMELLA was compelled towards the close of his career to witness the dissipation of many of his dearly cherished dreams of improvement. In this he drank from the bitter chalice too fre quently drained by patriotic statesmen. Posterity will look to this, however, as to a misfortune rather than a culpability, as to a subject for commise ration, rather than one of reproach. It will recognise in PALMELLA a diplomatist distinguished by great achievements, a statesman unsullied in reputation, and a patriot who indulged in lofty and noble hopes of improvement, if he too often failed in their reali sation. Next in importance to the question of the duration of the property and income-tax is its more just and equitable apportionment, so that every person shall contribute to the national expenditure secundum statum et facultates, according to his means and condition. Nothing can be more unfair or unequal in its opera tion than the present system, which places th 3 same charge upon every description of income, no matter how derived or whether it be of a permanent or tran sitory character. The manufacturer, merchant, or tradesman, whose profits are sometimes found to be evanescent quantities, and must be looked fur at the wrong sides of the books, are placed upon the same footing .with fundhulders. Their income, which is not worth more than seven or eight years' purchase at the outside, is regarded as equivalent to the Three per Cents., which can be disposed of at any moment at thirty or thirty-one years. But this, bad as it un questionably is, is by no means the worst part of the transaction. The tax on funded property cannot be levied unless the stock remains in the hands of the parties chargeable. Nothing is paid until the divi dends are actually received ; but when the assess ment is once made under Schedule D, it is difficult indeed to obtain a revision. Although the profits may, and do vary considerably, the tax must be con tinued at the same rate as in more prosperous years. If any abatement is demanded, the account-books of the parties, their most private transactions, must be submitted to the most inquisitorial scrutiny. Nothing is respected or considered sacred from the search of the prying officials. So that many thousands of persons in each and every year submit to pay the tax on income which they have not earned, rather than pass through the ordeal to which they must necessarily be exposed if they make any objec tion to the demand. Even when their accounts would show that the trade expenses exceeded the profits, and that loss instead of gain was the result of their trading, they would still pay a larger sum to the Exchequer, and their progress on " the road to ruin" would be materially expedited by the amounts levied under what is facetiovly termed "an income-tax?' Every prudent man, too, will consider it advisable ' to allocate a certain portion of his earnings to a species of insurance fund, to guard against the "bad debts" that must occasionally occur in even the best regulated establishment; knowing, too, that by far the larger portion of his earnings are derived from his own skill and industry, and that whenever Gld age or bad health prevent him from continuing the control and supervision of his affairs that had led to his comparative prosperity, these sources of income will be closed up, he con siders it essential to put by a considerable pro portion of his profits to accumulate for the future provision of himself and family. Let us suppose that he is earning a yearly income of 300E—how m uch can he fairly apply to his private expenditure ? His capitalmaybe must about 1,0001. or 1 , 2001 . The first claim that m liquidated is the tax, Si. 155., then the allowance for bad debts, which must be at least 201. to 301., then the premiums on a policy of insurance on his life, for say, 2,0001, which if effected when 3 oung may not coot more than 2f per cent., or 501. a year more than the money allocated to the "savings-fund" for a provision for his old age, which should be at least 20 per cent. on his income, or 60/. per annum. These various drawbacks will amount to at least 1501., or one-half his income, and if he can really apply 1501. to the personal expenses of himself and family, he may con sider himself very fortunate. All this time the fund holder, with 10,0001. in the Three per Cent. Consols, pays only the same amount, 8/. 155., although he has the entire surplus of his income, 291/. 55., for his own use ; and there is not the slightest necessity for his insuring his life or saving any portion of his divi dends, as he is certain that his position will never be worse than it is at this moment. We appeal to the common sense of the :people, whether this is just or equitable ? We appeal to the industrious classes, who are the chief sufferers under the system, whether they will still tolerate this glaring absurdity? If they really feel the grievance as they ought to do, the remedy is in their own hands. They have only to show themselves really alive to the injustice, to give expression to their feelings of indignation at the injury inflicted upon them, and to give significant hints to their respective representatives that they will be expected to discharge their duty in endea vouring to obtain redress, or that if they refuse, or neglect to do so, they will have to answer for it on their next appearance on the hustings. The inti mation, if properly given, will he attended to. Sir CHARLES WooD may learn that the system of which he is so deeply enamoured, and which he appears to consider absolute perfection, must be surrendered in deference to the voice of public opinion temperately but firmly expressed. We have given but one illustration of the injustice of the mode of assessment now in operation, we might multiply examples to no end. The case of professional men, who have no capital whatsoever save their educations and skill in their respective callings, is even harder than that of persons charged under Schedule D. Every argu ment applicable to :the one will also bear upon the other with additional force. If a man of this character realises by almost incessant toil 6001. per annum, being compelled to keep up an outward appearance of wealth, he pays 17/. 10s. for income-tax, as much as the pos sessor of 20,0001. in the Three per Cents. He must pay 1-34th part of his entire property. Even supposing that he is so fortunate as to be free from debt, while the fundholder, estimating the value of his property at the present quotations, will only contribute the 1-1,148 th part of his property, or, in other words, the professional man, the barrister, or doctor, must pay 34 times more in proportion to the value of his property than the fund holder. Reformers of all classes—Englishmen, who love equity and justice, consider these matters seri ously and attentively, and say whether you will sanc tion the perpetuation of a system under which such things are not only possible but of every-day occur rence. Exert your mighty force, and you will speedily obtain adequate redress. The National Concerts, and the new chef cr orchestra IJerr Labitzky, have afforded us an opportunity, for which we have for many a month longed, of hearing genuine music, applied to the purpose of the dance—of hearing originality in the place of compilation, and grace and beauty instead of a trick of effect. Herr Labitzky received a really British welcome the other night at the Opera, to which he replied by giving her Majesty's subjects some of the most lovely music we ever heard. The Berlin waltzes and the Herbst Blumen waltzes, have both a sparkling freshness, combined with some of the most delicate effects imaginable. VISCOUNT FIELDING.—This nobleman, whose re cent secession from the Established Church has been the subject of so much comment, is, it may not be uninteresting to state, connected with the royal house of Austria. His father, the Earl of Denbigh, late of the Queen Dowager's household, is a peer of the German empire, and also Earl of Desmond in the Peerage of Ireland. Viscount Fielding's wife, who has also joined the Church of Rome, is closely related to the Earl of Cardigan. Perhaps no family has more historical associations connected with it than this. Lord Denbigh has now in his possession a most magnificent miniature of Charles the First, which that unfortunate mo narch presented to his Lordship's maternal ancestor, the devoted Sir Henry Firebrace, while he was attenaing him on the scaffold. The miniature was given to Firebrace at the moment of decapitation. It is set in diamonds in a small ring. The baronet's granddaughter and heiress, Hester, married Basil, fourth Earl. The first Earl was a devoted Royalist, but, strange to add, his son, the second Earl, espoused the opposite cause, and while the father fought under the royal banner at Edge Hill, his son, Viscount Fielding, was on the right wing of the Parliamentary horse, which broke the left wing of the King's cavalry. The name of Basil Fielding has been well known in literature. Should Lord Fielding survive his father, his principal place of abode will be at the manor of Lutterworth, celebrated as being the scene of the birth and death of the celebrated John Wick liffe, the first preacher of the reformed doctrines in England. Sunday Paper. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM MILBANK PENITEN TIARY.—A few days since a most determined and well. contrived attempt to escape from the Penitentiary at Mil bank was made by two convicts confined in that prison, From the profound secrecy observed by the officers of the gaol relative to this mysterious affair nothing beyond the subjoined facts of tie attempt to escape and the recap ture of the two prisoners has transpired :—lt appears that by some means, not at present ascertained, the two convicts were supplied with false keys to open the prison doors, and during the absence of one of the guards con trived to get out of their cells, which adjoin, and make their way to the turnkey's room, where they possessed themselves of the cloaks and caps used by those officers during their night watches. So effectual was this disguise that it was only by the voice they were recognized. In passing along the gallery one of the guards on duty hap pened to hear a noise as if some person was moving about, and knowing that there was no officer in that part of the prison at the time challenged them, and, having received a i reply that did not appear to him to proceed from any of his brother officers, made an instant alarm. One of the pri secers immediately fled back to his cell, throwing off the cloak in his retreat, the other was captured with the cloak on him, and both were conveyed before the governor. A very rigid inquiry into the circumstances attending the possession of the counterfeit keys has been instituted, and is at present proceeding; but in what manner they were introduced into the prison is at present unknown. It is supposed that had they succeeded in opening the gates it was their intention to have liberated all the prisoners in the cells they would have passed in their transit. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO LASCAR SEAMEN.—On Tuesday last a resumed inquiry into the death of Dorgayah, one of the Lascar seamen who recently died on board the New Liverpool, in the Southampton Docks, was held before Mr. E. Coxwell, the borough coroner. Mr. Pocock, who appeared for Captain Fowles, said that every facility should be given for the prosecution of the inquiry. The principal witness examined was the " serang," waose evidence was in terpreted by Captain Lake, and who having after some ob jections from Mr. Pocock been sworn on the Koran, deposed to the inferior quality of the rice served out during the voy age, to the badness of the fish, and to the want of several articles of diet, which it was customary for the supply of the Lascars to be provided by the captain. Thomas William Yeathere, steward on board the vessel, gave evidence favour able to the captain and in some respects at variance with that of tke " serang." After which, the Coroner having read extracts from the regulations under the Act 4th George IV., chap. 80, for the guidance of masters and owners of ships, proceeded to sum up. It was clear from the medical evi dence that the Lascar had died from sea scurvy; if they were of opinion that the scut vy had been caused by wilfully withholding the provisions which ought to have been sup plied during the voyage, they would then return a verdict of wilful murder against the person whose duty it was to have supplied them, and who had wilfully withheld them. It they ware of opinion that they had been negligently with held, they would return a verdict of manslaughter against the person by whom they ought to have been supplied The jury then retired, and in about half-an-hour retnrued a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Captain Rowles. who it was discovered had left the court, and against whom the coroner said he should issue a warrant.—ifampshire Independent. We are assured that there is no truth in the state ment which has appeared in some of the public journals, that Sir Alexander Cockburn, the Solicitor-General, has accepted, or intends to accept, the vacant puisne judgeship in the Court of Exchequer. It is only surprising that the report should have been credited, for the practice of the Learned Gentleman brings him in nearly three times the amount of salary attached to the vacant puisne judgeship ; while, with his great talents and high standing at the bar, he may rea sonably aspire to some higher judicial office than the one which rumour has represented him as willing to accept. It is unnecessary to add, that the reports about a vacancy in the representation of Southampton are, of necessity, equally unfounded.—Advertiser. aveso importations recen live e re c e a t t e tl d e att F en o t n io E n l t G o N th C e CATTLE. —lye e b from the continent that it would not be n e c essary to refer again to them so soon were it not t hat the y have f urther assumed a new feature of interest a nd im p ortance in the increased l extensive arrivals of horned stock from Denmark. It will be recollected that the arrivals from the state men tioned have not been so regular as those from Holland, and therefore the r-cent arrivals possessed interest on ac count of their comparative novelty, and this interest is vastly augmented by the fact that the individual cargoes from Tonningen, the produce of Denmark, not only exceed in extent all other supplies of the kind. but have now also far exceeded in number all previous arrivals from Denmark, which have hitherto been confined to two or three arrivals at most in the course of a week. The steam -ship Trident. from Tonningen, has brought 286 head of oxen and cows and 40 sheep ; the Tigee, fro n Tonningen, 234 oxen and cows and 41 sheep; and the Wilberforce, also from Tonningen, 204 beasts and 10 sheep, the produce of Denmark. The an nouncement of tbree arrivals of the kind from Denmark, and to such an extent in one day, will be amply sufficient to show the importance which these supplies from that state have now assumed, being altogether unprecedented from that or any other foreign state of Europe. The fact of powerful steam-ships being employed in the traffic is important evi dence of the interest attaching to this entirely new branch of the foreign cattle trade. It is reported that Mr. D. Hill, Queen's Counsel, Recorder of Birmingham, h as been offered, and has accepted, Mr. Baron Rolfe's seat in the Court of Exchequer, in the event of the Learned Baron being appointed to the vacant Vice-Chancellorship..

A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday, to deli berate on the Schleswig-Holstein question. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Russian Chargé d'Affaires had each a long interview with Lord NOR MANEY, after which an extraordinary courier was dispatched to St. Petersburgb. The Pouvoir publishes the following official con tradiction of the statement that France and Russia had proposed a simultaneous invasion of the provinces of Prussia. It says— _ " We know not whence the Times has derived its in formation, but we do not hesitate to declare that it is completely incorrect. The policy of France, as well as of those who signed the treaty of 2d July, which was entered into in order to put an end to the deplorable war of Schleswig-Holstein, is traced out in the stipula tions of that treaty. Nothing can make us suppose that the French, any more than the Russian Cabinet, would depart from the common line decided on in the conferences of London to violate this treaty, and to in vite England to violate it with them. According to the terms of this treaty, the solution of the difficulties which divide Denmark and Holstein belongs to the great contracting powers, in the number of whom figures Germany, represented by the Diet of Frank fort. It thence follows that an intervention of the kind mentioned by . the Times is completely impossible. Doubtless, it is to be deplored that the negotiations have not put an end to this sanguinary struggle. We have every reason to think that the great powers are actively engaged with the subject, and that the efforts of the French Cabinet tend to this object; but we think that it will be admitted that the heroic remedy spoken of by the Times would be a hundred times worse than the disease, and that it cannot be presumed that it will be had recourse to. As to the appreciations of the Times on the necessities of the position of what it calls the Presidential policy, we think we can say that it deceives itself still more strangely than in the information which it gives on the affairs of Holstein. If the Times had more attentively followed the conduct of the President and the working of public opinion, it would comprehend that Louis Napoleon has nothing to gain by a war, how ever popular it might be. His future is more widely pointed out than the English journalist appears to think, and we may say that on this head his personal interests are in accord with his intentions and with his duties. He, in fact, has only to hold himself ready to respond to the necessities of the situation and to the will of the country." The Constitutionnel has the following on the same subject :—" When the armistice, which had suspended hostilities in Schleswig had expired, Russia and France proposed to England, either to put an end to the quarrel by common intervention, or at least to allow Denmark to follow up her success and re establish her authority in Holstein. England set aside these two plans through consideration for Prussia, and the Danes, out of deference for their allies, halted on the banks of the Eyder. The con sideration which has been twice shown for a state which notoriously breaks its engagements, and se cretly supports the cause which it dare not openly defend, certainly constitutes in the eyes of the medi tating powers a more rigorous right to demand that Prussia should return to the letter and spirit of the treaty which it had signed with Denmark. The state of affairs moreover changes to the prejudice of the Danes as time goes on, and the winter season advances. The ice will remove the obstacles which protect Schleswig, and Denmark will be threatened on her own territory, which we have guaranteed by treaties. It would be iniquitous to maintain a statu quo, which subjects Denmark to such a disastrous hazard, when stopped by a kind of moral barrier. She has abstained from following up the success of her arms on the German territory of Holstein. It may consequently be understood that if Prussia and Germany do not execute in a proper time the treaty of Borlin, the con ference of London would relieve Denmark from the obligation which has been imposed on it, and engage even to lend assistance in the event of one or more of the states of Germany interfering in the war. But in supposing the most alarming prognostications to be realised; supposing that all the efforts of the confer ence cannot set aside a conflict the most improbable, it is evident that the theatre of this conflict would be Denmark, and that neither Silesia, nor Rhenish Prussia, as the Times states, will have anything to do with it." The Ordre, in an article signed by M. JULES MARTINET, gives the following version of the cir cumstances which led to the retirement of General D'HATITPOUL " The following are some of the details relative to the resignation of General d'Hautpoul, which we have every reason to believe are correct. On the morning of the day in which the ex-Minister tendered his resignation, he attended the Council of Ministers, and prepared to read before his colleagues all assembled a project drawn up, he said, at the demand of the President of the Re public himself. This announcement excited great at tention. General d'Hautpoul then communicated to the Council of Ministers the project in question, which con sisted in dividing the army of Paris, some say, into four, and others, into five divisions, two of cavalry, and three of infantry. General Changarnier would remain in command of the first military division, but he would receive orders to quit the Tuileries, and to establish himself at the Hotel of the Place Vendome. This would be the annihilation, or rather the dismissal of the Honourable General. Generals Canrobert, Foret, Jullien, and Reibell, were to be removed from Paris, and Generals Nowmayer and Guillabert would also receive commands out of the capital. A moment of stupor followed the reading of this document, and the Ministers remained silent. General Lahitte at length spoke; he expressed his astonishment at thus receiving a communication of a measure so im portant and so unexpected, a measure so contrary to his personal opinion that, if it were accepted, he should not hesitate to immediately tender the resignation of the func tions with which the Executive power had honoured him. Several Ministers, among whom were MM. Baroche, Romain-Desfossi3, and Rouher, made the same declara tion; M. A. Fould, Minister of Finance, shared in this opinion, and warmly expressed his opposition to the pro posed measure. M. Dumas, on the contrary, is said to have expressed his approval of it, but this support was not sufficient, and M d'Hautp ou l saw t h at t h ere was no other means of withdrawing himself from the embar rassment than by resigning." The above account is confirmed by an article in the same journal bearing the signature of M. DE CHAMBOLLE• It would appear that General D'HAuTpour, who has not yet left Paris, will not be permitted to enter on the Government of Algeria without having to fight for it. The Ordre says : " A journal of yesterday morning speaks of a chal lenge addressed to a general by one of his colleagues, and it is easy to recognise the two personages referred to. We hope that this rumour is not founded, or that the difference will have no resu l t, i f i t rea ll y ex i sts; but, however this may be, the rumour was very generally spread yesterday. It was said that Genersl Lepays de Bourj oily had obtained, several months ago, from General d'llautpoul, and from the Pre sident of the Republic himself, the promise of the Governot-Generalship of Algeria. Soma time after M. de Bourjolly demanded the execution of this promise, , but the Minister of War 18 said to h ave re f used i t; M. de Beu waited riellv very . much irritated a t t hi s refusa l is said to have until M. d , Hautpo u l ceased to be Minister to demand ex planations. That would be, our readers see, a difficulty relative to tne military service ; we be lieve, then, that it cannot cause any grave consequences." The Evenement gav ir e , the name of General BEG NAULTJEAN tp ANGELI", instead of that of General DE DE T. 3o TJEJOLL Y. - The Constitutionnel says that General CAVAIGNAC has declared in favour of the prolongation of the power of the PRESIDENT. On such a subject, how ever, the Constitutionnel cannot be considered as the highest authority, and this statement is probably a mere canard, published for the purpose of eliciting some declization, from the ex-chief of the execu the power, on ti.e subject of the revision of the Con stitution. The new Minister of War has addressed the _fol lowing order of the day to the army : " Soldiers,—Called by the President of the Republic to the Ministiy of War, I feel to the full extent duties which this important and delicate mission imposes on me, and I have only accepted it with the firm resolution of filling l it with solicitude for the army, respect for our institutions, devotedness and loyalty towards the chief of the state. With these titles I have the right to count on the co-operation of the generals who are placed at your head, and who, by their glorious services, and by the incessant care with which they occupy themselves with your welfare, are so worthy of all your respect and all your sympathy. They will second me in my efforts to defend your int:!rests, to make known the services you render to the country, and secure the just recom pense of th em . C ont i nue , then, to rally around the chiefs who so well j ust if y y our confidence. They have learned as I have le arne d m y se lf, in a military life of 45 years, to obey as well as to command, and they will give, a s they have always done, the example of respect for hierarchical authority, to which they owe all their suc cess, and which by assuring the maintenance of discip line makes the force of armies. " Paris, 25th Oct.." ‘‘ DE SCHRAM3I. The ex-Archbishop of Turin, FRANZONI, has ar rived at Lyons. The Paris journals state that M. GENT, late Mem ber of the Constituent:Assembly, and;several other persons, have been arrested at Lyons on a charge of conspiracy ; but the Lyons journals make not the least mention of any such occurrence having taken place. Mr. LTJMLEY has announced the opening of the Italien Theatre in Paris tor Saturday, 9th Novem ber, with Madame SONTAG as Amina in the Son rambula. The French Government has prohibited the en trance into France of all unbleached linen cloths coming from Belgium. Snow has fallen in large quantities at Bourg, Or leans, and Sombernon, in the Cote d'Or, where the vintage is not yet all gathered, and at Rouen. According to official returns published at Agen, it appears that the electors in the department of the Lot and Garonne who, previous to the late Electoral Law, amounted to 105,493, are now reduced to 72,622. In a leading article on the affairs of Germany, the Univers, the organ of MM. DE FALLOUX, DE MON , - TALE7,IBERT, aini the parti-pretre, declnres that the extirpation of Protestantism by force of arms. "It is impossible," says this writer, " for the two princi ples to subsist together; one or other must be de stroyed. Protestantism must be put down by force of arms, and will be put down." This throws a clear light upon the meaning of the recently published Papal bull, making a new territorial division of England. But forewarned is forearmed ; and neither in Germany nor in England will the obscurantists find us unprepared. It is stated that in the PRESIDENT'S m essage to the Assembly the question of the prolongation of powers will not be touched on. There were but few speculators assembled in the Passage of the Opera to-day, and very little business transacted. The Five per Cents. were done at 92f. 60e. KOSSUTH AND HIS COMPANIONS. The Bulletin de Paris announces that the SULTAN has commanded that the Hungarians detained in his dominions shall receive passports and money to proceed to any quarter of the world they may desire.

Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived. The Queen of SPAIN has authorised the Duchess of MONTPENSIER to travel for a month out of the Spanish territory. She will accompany her husband to visit Queen MARIE AMELIE to offer her her con- solations on her recent loss. A Madrid letter of the 21st states that the Go vernment had received intelligence that a revolt had broken out in the village of Pinar del Rio, at Cuba, but had been suppressed. _ _ _ General JOSE - DE LA CONCHA sailed from Cadiz for Cuba on the 16th, on beard the Caledonia steamer. Brigadier VARGAS, Senor BASTAREECRE, of the Board of Health, with 12 superior officers, and 28 other officers belonging to the staff, and the detachments of troops on board, went with the new Captain-Ge neral of Cuba. The troops embarked in this steamer consist of 64 artillerymen, 120 sappers and miners, 87 cavalry soldiers, and 110 light infantry. They left soon after one P.M., and directly afterwards the Castella steamer arrived from Tarragona, with Ge neral MANZANO and 700 men of the Reina Regi ment, also destined for Cuba, and, who were to have left very shortly for that island with the rest of the force now accumulated at Cadiz:and Port of St. Mary.

The Cologne Gazette says that Councillor ELVERS has written a letter from Wilhelmsbad to Cassel, an. nouncing that there is no longer any hope of an ar rangement being effected with M. DE HASSENPFLUG, that Minister being more firm than ever against any submission on the part of the ELECTTOR. The Yew Munich Gazette says it is well informed that the Austrian forces in the Tyrol and the Vorarl berg have received orders to bold themselves in rea diness to march. The Oldenburgh Chambers have be.:n dissolve 1 by the following decree : " We, Augustus, &c., &c., decree as follows:-1. The general Landtag convoked by our ordinance of 16th De cember last is dissolved. 2. A new election for repre sentatives to a general Landtag shall take place. 3. The regencies of Oldenburg, Eutin, and Birkenteld, will take the necessary steps for carrying out the elections. 4. The newly•elected deputies will met t on the 13th De cember next, in our residence town of Oldenburg, where the business of the states will be opened on that day, at ten in the forenoon, at the Melitaerbaus. 5. The dura tion of the sessionlis limited to eight weeks. (Signed) " AUGUSTUS." The Cologne Gazette of the 26th publishes a letter from Hanover of the 24th, which states that the Ministerial crisis is not over. It appears that the Ministry demanded of the KING the recall of Count KRYPHAUSEN, the Ambassador at Berlin, and the dismissal of Count PLATEN, his MAJESTY'S Aide• de- Camp. A discussion thereupon arose between the KING and Count BENIGSEN, which ended in MM. DE SHEELE, LINDEMANNS, ROSSING, and KIELMAN SEGGE being summoned. It is thought that the resignation of the Ministry is inevitable. Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the 25th. The College of Princes had held its 38th sitting. The note of M. RADOWITZ tO the Danish Government, conveying to it the ratifications of the Berlin treaty, with the Prussian protest against the form of the ra tifications, was communicated. A letter from Frankfort of the 23d, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" The Germanic Diet has resolved to disarm and dissolve the army of Electoral Hesse. This measure will be executed very promptly, in order to present any resistance to a hostile invasion. It is to disarm them that the troops have been sent to their former cantonments. The Prince of TOUR and Tests has returned to the command of his corps d'armee of Franconia." The Cologne Gazette states that General DE GRCE BEN left Berlin on the 23d with the reply of the Prussian Government to the threats of Bavaria and the Germanic Diet to intervene in Electoral Hesse; it declares (says the Gazette) that Prussia will oppose intervention by force. The Ministers of Foreign Af fairs and War were having conferences on the mea sures which might become necessary. RUSSIA. The Emperor of RUSSIA, accompanied by Prince CHARLES of Wirtemburg, reviewed the troops garri soned in Warsaw on the 20th inst., and afterwards attended a sumptuous banquet given by the Prince of WAasAw. The departure of the Emperor of AUSTRIA from Vienna was fixed for the 24th. In the Russian province of Lithuania the landed proprietors of the class of nobility are falling rapidly into poverty. Almost every number of the official journals of the province contains announcements of the sale of the estates of insolvent proprietors. In many other governments of Russia the class of nobles includes individuals who have become im poverished. According to an official report made to the Minister of the Interior, there were in 29 govern ments '21,148 proprietors of the class of nobles whose whole possessions were confined to 25 serfs, and in many cases a less number. In the same Government there are many noble families who own only half a " dessatine" of land, or about two acres English, without serfs attached to it. To assist these impo verished families as far as possible the Government has resolved to settle them on the Crown lands of the Governments of Sirnbirsk and Tobolsk. On account of their inability to educate their children, one son from each family is entered in the battalions of the military colonies. ITALY. Count CAVOUR, the new Minister of Agriculture and Commerce of Sardinia, has addressed a circular to the Syndics of the kingdom recommending them to lay the question of the bread-tax before the Muni cipal Councils, with a view to decree its suppression if possible. In this circular Count CAVOUR strongly advocates the principles of free trade in corn, and quotes many instances of other parts of Europe, where the unrestricted system works well. Letters of the 16th from Pontremoli, in the Statuto of Florence, give an account of the Duke of PARMA'S visit to that town, from which it ap pears that he received the authorities with unusual affability, and had an interview with the Bishop, who gave him some salutary advice on the necessity of a change of system ; the cor respondence further says that the words of the Bishop seemed to have produ ce d some e ff ec t, th e Duke havingimmediately after ordered the military auditor to show him the proceedings relating to the case of a man who had been bastinadoed for having laughed at a soldier. The Podesta, a man generally hated by the people, had been unable to obtain an audience; and, immediately after the Duke's departure, he (the Podesta) received a notification that he was dismissed from dike. These acts had produced a good effect upon the public, and it was expected that on the Duke's return from Massa, whither he had proceeded, he would be greeted with cheers. By a decree of the Tuscan Council of Ministers, dated the 18th, the Florence journal // Nazionale has been suppressed. THE PALACE OF GLASS IN HYDE PARK.—Yester day being so fine a day Hyde Park was visited by numbers of persons anxious to see the progress made in the building for the exhibition of arts and manufactures in 1851 . The pillars and preparations give but a faint idea of what the finished erection will be, and though this erection is from the best design amongst the plans sent in for competition, yet it is not a new one, as the Messrs. Turner, of Dublin, had pro posed and erected buildings of glass several years since, and plans proposed by him were adopted at the Regent's Park Botanic Gardens, and at the Royal Gardens at Kew; a similar plan being adopted by Mr. Paxton at the magnificent gardens belonging to the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth. The British and North American Royal Mail s fr h e i i p ght Atlantic, and steam .ship Africa, Captain Ryrie, sailed from the Mers ey on Saturday morning for New York with the usual mail., a l arge 120 Captain passengers. willT The sailli n United d NewStates' l 0 r mail ko n s steam ._ nesday next. - - - A chronometer has been picked up on the beach, about four miles from Port Dynllaen harbour, also a wreck of a large long boat ; the chronometer has been identified as belonging to the Jemima, which sailed from Liverpool for Africa, lat October.—North Wales Chronicle. WHITECHAPEL CHURCHYARD.—The parish of Whitechapel is setting an excellent example to the metro politan parishes whose churchyards will be closed under the operations of the new Interments Act. Under the superin ten lence of Mr. Curtis, who planned and planted the new Victoria-park, the churchyard is now being planted with evergreen and deciduous shrubs and trees. As it is a well ascertained fact that trees absorb and convert the noxious gases given off by the process of decomposition, we hope that so laudable an example will be universally followed. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CI T TT 0' CL 0 CA. kici:lou at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 800 American and 1,200 Brazil were taken on speculation. The market closed firmly.—Railway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward tendency. The Grain Mai * ket is exceedingly heavy to-day, owing to the large arrivals of for e i gn Fl our . Cape of Good Hope accounts of August 16 state that the Boers beyond the Vaal River, having thrown them selves across the interior roads to the Great Lake, Messrs. Galt and Anderson, the enterprising travellers, who had determined to explore it, intended to proceed from the west coast. The Kafir fever had committed great ra vages in the Zulu country. Most praiseworthy exer tions were being used at Natal to relieve the emigrants shipwrecked in the Minerva. The :general tenor of the American advice's is en couraging. Money was abundant, and Public Securities were tending upwards. It is stated from New York:— " The upward movement in prices is not confined to this market. Speculators in Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, have exhibited the same spirit, and telegraphic dispatches are daily received by brokers in Wall-street, from parties in other cities, ordering purchases of diffe rent stocks in this market. Several of our leading fancy stocks are largely held in the above-named cities, and hundreds of shares are daily purchased here on account of speculators in all parts of the country. The tele graph affords wonderful facilities for stock speculators, and during the sitting of the boards of brokers in this city, Boston and Philadelphia, dispatches are continually passing from one to the other.: This mar ket is the great regulator, and operators in other cities hardly dare move until they are posted up relative to movements here. " There appears no indication of any unfavourable change in the money market. The supply is largely in excess of the demand, and loans can be easily negotiated, on satisfactory securities, at five and six per cent. in terest. Business paper of the right stamp is not plenty, and all offering is freely taken at seven per cent. Se cond and third rate paper is not easily negotiable, and for some time past certain names have been refused by note brokers, except at exorbitant rates. The banks discount freely all good paper offered, and keep their lines full up to the highest point." It is stated that several persons have been deputed from the Southern States, and are already in England for the purpose of making some new commercial ar rangements here by which a direct trade may be opened between the south and Europe. The Fall business in Canada was commencing. From Montreal we are advised that the business of the week had not been very spirited, " although several large gro cery auction sales have taken place, and a number of ex tensive ones are advertised for the ensuing week, amongst which is the cargo of the Bulley, direct from China. This vessel also brought a quantity of Chinese fancy goods, which will be offered the day fol lowing the Tel sale. This and the other sales announced will, in all probability, bring a large number of pur chasers into the market during the present or next week, when we hope to record an extensive Fall business. The stocks in market of most articles of hardware are pretty complete, but there is rather a heavy stock of bar iron; however, if the Fall trade is at all brisk, it is not anticipated that there will be much overstock. Pig ' iron continues in steady demand at 41. 15s. to 41. 17s. 6d. "The regular traders to this port having nearly all arrived, and the principal houses in the dry goods trade have received all their Fall importations, which we believe have been rather over an average, and as but few of the buyers from Upper Canada are yet in the market, the warehouses look full and stocks well as sorted; as many of the Upper Canada and country mer chants may put off coming to the city till the week of the Provincial exhibition, an extensive business may be looked for soon." At Frankfort, on the 25th instant, Austrian Metallies were 761 4, and Spanish Three per Cents. 33 1-16 to 13-16. At Atnstordam, on Saturday, Public Securities were quiet. The following are the latest alterations in the Stock Exchange rules:— " Rule 88. When the ticket-day shall be fixed for a Saturday those members who have to pay for stock or shares shall pass a name for the same before twelve o'clock. " Rule 98. Registered shares, if not delivered within ten days, may be bought in against the seller at or after twelve o'clock on the eleventh day, &c., &c. " Rule 99. Every member who allows fifteen days to elapse without availing himself of his right to buy in, &c., &c. "That the foregoing resolutions shall take effect on all transactions made for and after the 14th November next." Some of these changes will materially facilitate busi ness, and are calculated to resider share business more legitimate, and to protect rail Nay property from exces sive fluctuation. The English Stock Market has been firmer this morn ing, but business is very restricted, in the absence of later intelligence.
