REDGRA.VD. city. There was one case of manslaughter against the pilot cf a steam-vessel. It would seem that the vessel the prisoner had charge of ran down a man in a boat, and the grand jury would have to ascertain whether it arose from any negligent act on his past, or was the result of an occident which the prisoner could not possibly have had any control over. There was another case of a painful character which he must briefly refer to. Two able•badied men applied to a workhouse for relief, but they were told they had come to the wrong piece, as relief could not be legally el - folded there to persons in their condition, and they were accordingly requested to retire. They, however, exhibited no disposition to do so; and upon a porter of the workhouse attempting to remove them, one of the two struck him across the head with a knife, and the blow ultimately resulted in his death. The jury would have to determine whether this man had been guilty of un attempt at murder or only of manslaughter. One other case only called for observation. It Was that of three men who were charged with having broken into a gentleman's house in the dead of the night for the purpose of plunder. The case was rendered the more remarkable by the circumstances which led to the defeat of their object. The servants of the gentleman whose house was broken into appeared to have made a most gallant de fence of their master's property, and two of the robbers had suffered severely from the injuries which they re ceived in the encounter. If it was generally known that fire arms were kept in large mansions for the especial reception of thieves, burglaries would become less fre quent, thought it must not be understood that an a'- tempt to commit a robbery would justify the reckless destruction of life. It was only in'cases where the offence could not be prevented, except by taking the life of the malefactors, that the law would absolve a party from the consequences of such an act, and though, as he had already observed, it was prudent to keep firs-arms they should, nevertheless, be only re sorted to in extreme cases, and never used without great caution. Ile told them, in his opening remarks, that the majority of cases embraced by the calendar consisted of petty larceny. Two of the chief causes of that silence a as the careless exposure of property in the streets out side shop-windows, and the facilities afforded by pawn brokers for the disposal of stolen property. The remedy for the first of these causes was in the hands of prose cutors themselves, but the latter cause could only be dealt with by the Legislature; for the rule of law was this, when a frisoner was convicted of a robbery the pawnbroker was bound to restore the stolen property to the owner, bat if the prisoner was acquitted no such duty devolved, upon the pawnbroker. No doubt this cir cumstance accounted for the apathy, if not utter disin• clination, to identify prisoners which pawnbrokers generally felt when called upon to give evidence in some of these petty larceny cases; and be was (afraid, until an alteration was made in the law, many offenders would still succeed in defeating the ends of justice. These were all the observations which he had to address to the grand jury, and congratulating them upori the prospect of their duties being exceedingly light, it only remaiued for him to dismiss them to the dkeharge of their im portant functions. The grand jury then retired. FREE TRADE AND THE EXHIBITION or 1851 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlB,—From the last number of the Spectator, I collect, that directions have been issued that the spe cimens sent to the Exhibition of 1551 shall not be ac companied by the prices. This with one stroke of the pen cuts up by the roots all the benefits expected from the Exhibition, and will constitute it the ridicule of Europe. I am afraid that, at the eleventh hour, the Protectionists have been too many for us. The single use of the Exhibition was, that we might lay our goods before assembled foreigners, with their prices. Imagine a manufacturer allowed to send his samples to South America, but not his prices ; and the whole bearing of the point is seen. The object of the Protectionists is to prevent price from appearing as an element. If, for example, the samples for competition were corn, they wish the in quiry to be confined to which has the largest grains and whitest skin, and bar all entry on the question whether one is offered at a hundred shillings the quarter and the other at thirty-five. As in some other movements, the time has been taken when Parliament is not sitting; for a question asked in Parliament would have settled the whole. I have written to attract the attention of my consti tuents, through their local paper; and if in the mean. time you will assist in the circulation, you will oblige Your obedient servant, T.

[*.* The above ingenious sonnet will be read with peculiar interest by the many thousand admirers of the genius of Alfred Tennyson, now that that gifted poet has been happily gazetted as the Poet Laureate.— ED. Sun.] The Cologne Gazette publishes a telegraphic dis patch from Brussels, dated 22d inst., announcing the arrival of Cardinal Wiseman at Ostend, in consequence of an order to quit England. On making inquiries we found that there was no foundation for this report. The Leed4 Intelligence? states that the Hon. John Stapleton, brother of Lord Beaumont, has left the Church of Rome. We are happy to hear that Lord Nugent is im proving in health, so much solicitude having lately been felt in that respect by his private and public friends. DEPARTURE OF THE COMMANDER OF THE FORCES AT BOMBAY.—Lieutenant - ,General Sir John Grey, the newly appointed General commanding the forces at Bombay, left on Wednesday last, accompanied by Captain Grey, for that pre sidency, to assume his command, in succession to Lieutenant- General Sir Willoughby Cotton, K.C.B. Lord Glenelg has left town for Torquay, where the Noble Lord purposes to sojourn for several weeks. The Exeter Gazette reports that the present Earl of Portsmouth is in a very precarious state. In the event of his demise the title and the immense estates both in this country, and Ireland will fall to the noble owner of Egges ford, the Hon. Newton Fellowes, who is respected by all who know him. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERIIAMPTON RAILWAY.— We lately indicated our belief that this railway would be found on the high road to prosperity, and that apart from its temporary alliance with the Midland. We have now the gratification to intimate that a number of in fluential and wealthy supporters of the broad gauge have succeeded in inducing two of the most eminent London con tractors to undertake the completion of the line in its original integrity, and to stock and work it if necessary. Should this be effected, and we have little doubt but that that result has alreaiy taken place, a modification of the existing board will be made, to allow the new interests sufficient control to carry out their purpose, which will ultimately issue, in all likefib.ood, in an offer of lease to the Great Western. As a matter of course, the existing arrangements with the Mid lanf:t, so far as they extend, will in no way be interfered with. —Railway Times. The Marylebone Vestry was occupied at the usual meeting on Saturday with a long and stormy discussion on the salaries of the collectors, which some of the members thought too high. Ultimately, the salaries of 2004 a year for each were retained, and the vestry adjourned. CAUTION TO CORONERS' JURIES.-011 Saturday Mr. H. M. Wakley, after waiting three-quarters of an hour for jurors summoned to attend an inquest, sent the summon ing officer to the houses of the absent jurors, to ascertain the cause of their absence. After some time the summoning officer returned with Mr. Gibbon and Mr. Watts, the jurors who did not attend, and as they gave no proper excuse for their non-attendance, the coroner fined each of them. 10/., assuring them that he would enforce the fines. He then adjourned the court without going into the inquiry. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, Nov. 23.—The promotions of Major Desbrisay to be Lieutenant-Colonel ; second Captain Domville, to be Captain ' • first Lieutenant Raynes, to be second Captain ; and second Lieutenant Noble, to be first Lieutenant, have been dated the 7th inst. ; and, in consequence of the above promotions, Lieutenant-Colonel G. B. Wilson is removed to the hth battalion, on lieutenant colonel's pay, in the room of Walker. Lieutenant-Colonel Desbrisay is, therefore;posted to the 12th battalion, on major's pay, vice Wilson. EXHIBITION OF 1851.—Arrangements have been made, we learn, with the police authorities of France and even other countries, to conce ntra te a few foreign police in this country next, year to watch the movements of any foreign pickpockets who may be tempted hither in the spring. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY..—. One of the most extraordinary accidents, unaccompanied with loss of life, p ro bably ever heard of, happened on the South-Western Railway. On Wednesday last a train left the Waterloo-road terminus for Hampton Court, and after proceeding'a short distance down itihigehline, wall on either itcatet side,othat portion which is enclosed with a an f t e h e e t . space u p o b h e t g w a e i h e n i htgh that h m a t e t s a p l o s tr B d r i t e h k e w w e 1 i a , I l t s h b e e g i n u g a only rd, a fanciedfew l h o e ok h e o a v r e d r one h o t f a t . h e Wwheels doing o grat e, N h vhi is ch i head nd c u a c m ec e t i h n i m con to . tact with the signal post, and with such violence that he was hurled off the carriage, and rolled into the small space be tween the engine and the wall. The engine -driver, who witnessed the man fall, shut off the steam, and stopped the train as quickly as possible, but not until it had gone some considerable distance. The tails of the guard's coat were then found lying on the rails, and the belt and pouch worn over the shoulder cut in two, so that it was fully expected that the unfortunate man would be discovered in a mangled condition. Owing,' however, to slipping sideways ofi the break, he managed t o c l ear t h e ra il s, b ut t h e space from the wall was so exce e di ng l y narrow that he was fo rce d by the hindermost carriages against the b.kkwork, and with the exception of a number of bruises, his escape was truly mira culous. The Tablet says—" The Pope has made Westmin ster an archiepiscopal see, and has given to Dr. Wiseman, noiv a cardinal, jurisdiction over the souls of all men living within the limits of the see, excepting Jews, Quakers, and unhapti,ed Prot(.stants. . . • Rome has more than spoken—site has spoken and acted. . . .

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday. The Ilioniteur has the following from the disturbed districts in Ardeche " According to dispatches dated the 21st, received to day in Paris, 300 muskets and 17 prisoners lett St. Andeol for Privas, under the escort of an imposing force. A judicial examination is going forward, and calm is completely re-established." . _ _ The command of the army to he assembled in the eastern provinces cf France is to be given to General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS. The crusade against the press of all shades except the Bonapartist continues. The Legitimatist con ductors of the Corsaire and Opinion Pablive have been condemned for publishing a review of a Bona partist hook entitled " The Era of the Caesars," and the Sitkle announces in the following terms its own impending prosecution : " We have received to-day a citation to appear bafero the Tribunal of the Correctional Police next Tuesday, where we should certainly be condemned, only that we have) raised the question of incouipetency. What have we done? Why, simply this:—We have simply pointed out that, with regard to the affair of Allats, the two journals—the Constitutionhel and the Ordre—were giving each other the most cruel contradictions regarding the opinion of M. Baroche. Now here there was no dis cussion of any kind, religious or political, but simply a comparative view of facts drawn from different journals. Formerly it used to be said, It the police accused me of carrying off the tower of Notre Dame I should at once take to my heels.' We may say at present that if the police of the press, armed with the late la►w, accuses you, prepare your money at once." An inquiry has been ordered into the circumstances attending the late explosion on bo:;.rd the Valmy. The National Guard of Mulhausen has been dissolved because it greeted the PRESIDENT with cries of " Vive la Republique !" The French journals of yesterday have not arrived.

GERillitA Y. OPENING OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. THE KING'S SPEECH. BERLIN, Nov. 21.—The session of the Chambers was opened this morning by the King in person, in the White-hall of the Palace. The ceremony differed in no respect from the forms observed on other occa sions ; but there was considerable increase in the in terest with which the speech was awaited. The com petition for tickets of admission was pretty keen, for the hall being originally only a ball-room, the public are limited to the gallery that was once the or chestra, and after a loge is parted off for the Am bassadors of the several Powers, the space is rather limited. Care had been taken not to issue more tickets than the gallery would hold persons, so that though full, it was not overcrowded. The senators, after attending Divine worship in the cathedral and the church of St. Hedwig, began to arrive at eleven o'clock. Chairs were placed on the side of the hall opposite the throne, but very few of the deputies seated themselves; nearly all remained standing in I the space immediately in front of the throne during the whole proceedings. s , The diplomatic corps, in grand costume, arrived in I a body shortly before half-past eleven o'clock. His Majesty soon after entered the hall, followed by the Princes of the royal house and the several Ministers in their state uniforms. The Princes took their place to the right of the throne, and the Ministers on the left. His Majesty wore a general's uniform, with helmet and plume. He was received by the Assembly in profound silence. Having taken his seat, after saluting the deputies, he immediately read the following speech:— " Gentlemen, Deputies of the First and Second Cham- , hers,—ln an earnest period I see you with confidence again assembled around my throne, and I bid you from I my heart welcome. " Since the close of your last session my Government has been zealously engaged in calling into active opera tion the organic laws which were passed with your as sent. The introduction of the new communal law has been commenced in all parts of the kingdom, and only a regard to manifold existing interests, directed by the provisions of the law itself, has prevented the equal progress of the measure in the different parts of the monarchy. Although the preliminary survey for the land tax, according to the estimate of the law of the I 24th of Februrary of the present year, has not been everywhere concluded, yet my Government will lay before you the result of the measure as soon as possible. " The great railway constructions which the Govern- , ment has been placed in a position by your assent to I bring to completion, have been commenced vigorously, and with good results. Other public works have also progressed in a satisfactory manner, and have contri buted essentially to the improvement of the classes to which they have furnished employment. " In consequence of the progressive establishment of confidence trade and commerce have increased during 1 the past year, and have in some branches received a lively impulse. The seaborne traffic in the harbours of the kingdom has indicated a rising activity in commer cial enterprise. " The improvement of the post system, which has been accompanied by a more comprehensive postal treaty with other German States, for the facilitation of mutual intercourse, already exhibits its many advantages. " We had already begun to enjoy the returning state of security when an attempted assassination against my self opened for us a glance into that moral abyss on which we arc still standing. I do not speak of my fife —that is in the hand of the Almighty; and the danger from which I was miraculously saved procured me the satisfaction of receiving innumerable proofs of fidelity and attachment from all parts of the country. But I speak of that profound confusion of all ideas in which alone an attempt at regicide could arise, of that contempt of Divine and human laws which was to be observed in this lamentable event. " The Revolutionary press bears ro small part of the guilt, and as it was not possible in the last session of the Chamber to discuss the Provisional Press Law of the 30th of June last. and which has been found ineffective, my Government considered it its duty to publish a further preliminary decree relative to the press, on the authority of the 63d Article of the Constitution. This decree, however, was only intended to be a temporary means of remedying evident evils. At the same time, therefore, with this decree the draught of a comprehensive and permanent law for the organization of the press will be laid before you. In discussing it you will endeavour in accord with my Government to reconcile the claims of a reasonable freedom with the conditions necessary to the safety of the state and of society. " The preparations for carrying into effect the pro visions of the Constitution as to the relations of the Church to the State are in uninterrupted progress, and my Government will feel itself bound to settle the diffi cult task submitted to them with a due regard to all just interests. " The draught of the Education Law is nearly com pleted, but the comprehensive nature of the preliminary labour it requires prevents its being laid before you at the opening of the session. " The draught of a law regulating the practice of medicine will shortly be laid before you. "The draught of a penal code, long since prepared, also awaits your discussion. "The annexation of the principalities of Hohenvollern to the monarchy renders necessary the publication of an election law for those States. I suggest to you the im mediate consideration of this law, for you will wish, as well as myself, to see the representatives of that part of the nation as soon as possible among you. " Gentlemen, you will perceive by the financial state ment for 1851 that there has not only been in general an increase in the revenue of the state, but that care has been taken to place every practical limit to the expendi ture. Yet it has not been possible with the ordinary re venue to cover the increased outlay of the state occa sioned by the effects of the convulsions of 1848. A more than ordinary pressure on the taxation cf the country is, therefore, unavoidable. The measures of my Go vernment en this subject I recommend to your most careful consideration. " A full account of the use made of the credit of 18,000,000 thalers, voted for military purposes, will be laid before you. ". The dangers by which you were induced to grant that credit have not yet been removed. My pacific re lations to the great powers of Europe have not indeed been interrupted; but, unhappily, it has not been possi ble to carry into effect my intention to create for the German States a constitution equal to their necessities. I cling to the idea which was the foundation of my • efforts, in firm hope in the future; but I will only ag a i n attempt its realization on new grounds when a decision has been come to on the future organisation of the German Bund. "I hope that the negotiations on this subject will soon lead to a successful result. " The peace with Denmark is concluded and ratified ; but it has not been possible as yet to carry it in all points into effect. "In a neighbouring German State disputes of the most irreconcilable character have taken place. An attempt to interfere, made from one side only, threatened to violate the rights of Prussia, and led to misunder standings in which we are directly involved. Our re presentations, founded on the conditions of our geo graphical and military position, did not meet with proper attention on the part of the Sovereign of the State and his allies. Besides this, concentrations of troops were made close on our frontiers, in places distant from the scene of those embarrassments, by which the security of the monarchy was menaced. Then I could no longer defer what had been long postponed. I have called out the whole warlike power of the lend, and I see with pride and joy that all my people capable of bearing arms have risen I:ke one man, and joined themselves to nay brave and faithful army, "In a short time we shall stand more strongly armed than at any period of old or modern time. We do not seek war; we wish to lessen no one's rights, or force our proposals on any one; but we require an organize tion of collective Germany, cons i sten t w ith our pres en t ' f position in Germany arid in Europe, and commensurate wi h the sure of the rights that God has placed in our hands. We havo a good right; the e e will defend, and we will remain in powerful preparation, under our ' I weapons, till we are certain it has obtained recognition. i " This we owe to Prussia and to G erman y. I" I hope that our rising will be s u ffi c ie n t to assert o u r right; if this is attained, it is without danger to the peace of Europe, for my people are reasonable in the some degree as they are strong. "It is for you, Gentlemen, to furnish me with the means by which this end is to be secured. I lament thecsacri flees which on this account must be imposed on the nation, but I know, Gentlemen, that your z?al will not be behind that of the whole people. You will furnish a proof that our Constitution, to which I inviol9.bly adhere, does not impe& Prussia in en energetic come of action, but assists it. "And, as in the exultaion of the moment all parties among the people have disappeared, us the people and the army feel with me and with each other, so will you also, the representatives of this glorious nation, stand firmly by me, and with one mind, in the dangers of the present time. Well, then, let our motto be, " Unity in fidAity ; trust in God in one spirit—the old spirit of Pi ussia.' " Therewith has God helped us often and far, and will help us sun farther. That is my reliance. M. vox LADENIMIG then declared the session to be opened. The KING appeared to reed the first part of the speech with some degree of difficulty, but in the latter passages he roused himself, and threw great em phasis into the words referring to the summons of the army and the rights of Prussia. At the close of each of the latter paragraphs the deputies gave a round of applause in a hearty shout of " bravo," and at the termination of the speech they gave four or five repeated rounds of cheering. On no former occasion was the stiffness of etiquette so completely thrown off; the hall was converted for the moment into a public meeting when some star of oratory is rising above the horizon of the platform. If the • Chanil-er is as unanimous iu its votes as its cheers, M. VON MANTEUFIFEL must be careful how he shows too ' decided a leaning to the side of peace. And yet, when the speech is read, the phrases that elicited so much enthusiasm are but vague; while it is certain the " attempt to give Germany a Constitution is abandoned" till a future and undefined period. It is hoped the preparations for war will alone be enough to secure the end Prussia has in view, and in that case they will not endanger the peace of Europe ; but the precise end has never been distinctly stated, and the right of Prussia may be something containing a less or a more to be settled by negotia tions, and that might have been done without the armament. The omission of any declaration as to the intervention in Schleswig-Holstein will probably strike many of the Deputies to-morrow as unaccount able, since it is the point which every one out of doors regards with the most anxiety. The Hessian dispute, which is dwelt on at some length, is of secondary importance. A4er the ceremony at the Palace, both Chambers held a short preparatory sitting in their respective localities. M. LEUSING was, as in the last session, elected president of seniority in the Second Chamber; U M p . per House.F"cjlwas chosen in the same manner iu the The first contest will be the election of President; the Opposition, it is believed, will propose M. VON CAMPHAUSEN. Count VON RITTBERG and i\4. VON JORDAN are mentioned as the Ministerial and Con servative candidates. Our latest edvices from Berlin inform us of the proceedings of the Prussian Parliament in its sittings of the 22d inst. Presidents were elected, viz.,—the Lower House elected Count SCHWERIN, while Mr. SIMsoN was appointed Vice-President. In the Upper House Count ItermeaG was elected to the Presidency with a majority of 40 votes against the candidate of the Liberal party, Mr. CAMPHAUSEN. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Hamburgh Borsenhalle has the following from Copenhagen of the date of the 18th Nov. : " The Minister of War has published the offici4l report of the loss of the Danes in the reconnoitering skirmish on the 14th, at three wounded and four miss ing; one Schleswig-Holstein officer and five sol diers having been taken prisoners by the Danes. In another skirmish which took place un the same day at Breckendort; the Hoisteiners had three men killed and fourteen taken prisoners. The Danes sustained no loss. " Very great activity prevails in the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, and decisive events are evidently in preparation. " It is stated that the British Cabinet demande, under all circumstances, an armed intervention in Schleswig-Holstein for the interests of the Danish monarchy." HOLLAND. GRAND DUCHY 'OP LUXEMBURG. LIE HAGUE, Nov. 23.—The Chambers of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg have closed after a short but stormy session. At the concluding sitting the following motion was passed after a warm debate of several hours. This motion, which bears upon the present state of Germany, is thus worded:— " Seeing that the Government which has contributed to the re-establishment of the Diet has declared that it will not associate itself with any coercive measures against a constitutional state of Germany: " That notwithstanding coercive measures are carried out in the name of the Diet and of the states which compose the Diet, that Hesse is invaded, and that nearly the whole of Germany is under arms: " Hope that the Government will endeavour to obtain that neutrality of which it has spoken." After having voted the Budget for Public Works, the Chambers adjourned to the second Tuesday in February, leaving the President the power of con voking an extraordinary session if circumstances shall require it. ITALY, The: Osservatore Romano, the official journal of the Papacy, bas the following article on the reception the Papal bull has met with in England:— " The furious violence of the English press continues to storm with increasing enthusiasm against the Pontifi cal brief upon the restoration of the ecclesiastical hierar chy, and presents a singular spectacle, so much agita Lion and auger not having been displayed by it since tie t ime of tho implacabl e i nvect i ves against Napoleon. And why? said we to ourselves; an answer arose from the bottom of our heart. All the organs of the British Nebuchaducazar feel better than any one else the irrs sistibls power of the Catholic religion in the world. The most obstinate begin to persuade themselves that this power is superior to political eventualities, that it does not consist in temporal, power derived from men, but that its foundations ate bcsed upon the internal ad herence of their spirits. Consequently they see either that their recritninations are too unju,t, or that the Anglican Church is menaced by total ruin. If they had and less ire. w any shadow of right, they would speak with more dig nity e I n the cries and howlings of Anglican despair , also, we see a great deal o f that internal sent i men t which resides at the b ottom of a reat num b er o f g Protestant consciences, an d even of those who are the loudest in crying out against and blaming the Pontifical act. These same cries are a homage which Protestants render, after their own mann er, and in spite of thernselve s, to Cathelicisin; because they know it to be a spiritual body, fortified impure better than an , other, against the impetu s of passions , fomented by revolutionary orgies. Thi s is the cause andthe rea son why depraved men, pl unged in all sorts of vices, y begin their movements iu every attack, conflict, or social combat, by assualting th e Catholic Church. T o p r ove this, it is not necessary t o repeat, what we have so fre quently demonstrated concerning revo l u tionary ma- Louvres. In the pres ent case, Anglican i s m, the most potent of political reli g i ous esta b lishments , finding itself reduced to despair, having no species o f argument t o oppose, and being, i n f act, complete l y floored, would fain pretend to f orm a part of Cathol i c i s m; and conse quently, now that the effects of its act of religious su premacy are threatening, it endeavours to alienate all those who recognize the errors in which they were en. veloped, and tend to abjure them by returning into the bosom of Catholicism. "Nor need wa,labo ur muc h to prove this fact , since the proof is furni s h e d us b y t h e first of the journalising combatants—the Time s . This paper pro fesses a won derful degree of l og i c w he n the policy and commerc e o f its own c oun t r y are no t i n terested.

N e ith er th e bad opinion raised np against it by the Pi e d montese Mi n istry, nor any other circum stance, was abl e t o diminish the force o f its ideas, and the intellig ence o f it s arguments proved that it pro fessed th e sent i ment o f j us tice from principle. Whence comes it, th en , t h at i n the present case it is so eccentric? " In qu o ti ng an ar ti c le from the Journal des Debars, we clearly p o i n t e d ou t tbo injustice of the English jour nalists' cri es an d recr i m inations. We stated also that pay no the Gover nmen t w ill clergy—moved the Ti mes to attention to their clamours; and when a fitting opportunity occurs, we will demon strate from history all the acts of violence used against Catholicism; but we cannot condessend to discuss the events of the day, unless the necessary calmness and tranquillity are restored. The articles of the whole round of English journals contain nought but violence and ire, and the words of the Times are a sufficient spe cimen, that paper foreseeing the ruin and overthrow of all sacred interests; and wby? Let the world perish, but Anglicanism for ever." It is said that Cardinal ANTONELLI will retire from the Ministry, and will be succeeded either by Cardinal BERETTI or Cardinal FUNARI. The following order of the day from the new Minister of Arms, Prince ()RHIN', appeared in the official journal of the 12th : " Honoured by his Holiness with the appointment to the ministry of arms, I recognise the value of so distin guished a destination, and pr: fess to the most benign sovereign that gratitude which is his due for having shown such undeserved confidence in me. I propose by my efforts to correspond with to much goodness. In order, however, to effect this purpose, I must obtain the consent and sincere co-operation 01 all those who hey° the honour of be• longing to the military fainilv—this I request as a pledge of trust in me who prCfess the principle of de isiring the welfare, the honour, the happiness of military men of every wea p o n, and of a ll th ose w h o b e l ong to the military family.

P. ORSINI " The railway to Civita Vecchia is to be cDramenced immediately. THE NATIONAL. CONCERTS. On Saturday evening there was a sudden change in the programme of the concert, occasioned by the indisposition of Mr. Sims Reeves. This prevented the performance of M'Farren's new serenata, The Sleeper Awakened, which would have occupied the first part of the entertainment.- For this a anis cellaneouz selection of vocal and instrumental music was substituted, including one of the finely har monized efforts of the Berlin chorus. In the course of the second part, an unexpected novelty was intro ducci., hi the shape of a seketion of some of the most favourite airs in Halevy's Tempesta, which proved quite as attractive in this as in their dramatic form. The theatre was crowded, the promenade being lite rally crammed, and Ihe boxes filled with a very supe rior audience. The Berlin chorus will sing through out the week, prior to their return to Prussia. Among the audience at the National Concerts dur ing the last week were his Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duke and Duchess of Lcinster, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, Marquis of Donegal, Marquis of Headfort and Lady Olivia Taylour ' Viscount and Lady Olivia Ossulston, Countess of Kinnoul and Lady Francis Hay, the Earl of Belfast, Lady Ashley, Lord Ward and Hon.

At length the almost illegible schedre jotted down at Paris in March, 1850, are transcribed, and certes they cannot aspire to the character of news. The Sun is a journal without which the press would sink into a mere caterer for the avarice of few, the mediocrity and lukewarmness of many : a journal which has long acted as steam-tug or pilot• fish to the others, by just fastening a hook in the nose of leviathan. Times: a journal which never deceives the people nor their true friends, for it tells them not only that they like to hear, but what they ought to hear. To the Alfred of the press might be offered, by way of homage, some " modern instances," suggesting to an impartial thinker the principles of history which, old as their origin may be, are always new : to give the facts and the reasonings suggested, though a more ambitious writer might find them beneath his notice. A morning piper has published some very interest ing details of French farming, but we only pretend to give some general notions. Agriculture is a per manent resource against the ingratitude and injustice o: mankind : it is the genuine pleasure of childhood a.; of age, so that every wo rd on t h a t s ubj e ct, if prac ticable, may b e t a k en as p ar t o f one ' s quo t a t o huma nity. On some occasion Cobbett saiu publicly that if no two Irish Members could agree on any one thing he would go home to his sheep and cows! It was to seethe labourers aui c h am p s an d t h e agr i cu l tura l campaign commencing that the busy month of March was chosen for an excursion. It M. Louis Blanc takes an interest in the subject he must allow that Frencli farmers not only recog nise his diconomie du travail but a parsimony of travail also, peculiar to themselves. Not a foot of ground is wasted, not a weed to be seen—this last by help of warm summers being easily managed—yet the plough ing is scarce three inches deep. From Amiens to Paris, from Paris along the Loire to Tours, the soil is deep and black and rich everywhere, a pulverizing sun being warded off by the admirable nature of the ground. Still the " Anglo-Saxon go-a-head" is wanting the country is rather organized than fertilized Oui, oui, zious serez organists. One would suppose the farmers were like the sergents de ville at Paris theatres, who with agi- tated countenances, long strides, sabres, and vast cloaks a tutta rota, impede the setting down and taking up of a dozen carriages. All who pass the boundaries of French Canada and the United States have seen the indolence and penury of French ma nagement; what a sudden contrast also between Belgium and France, the land being naturally identical on the line of frontier : in the south of France " twenty thousand French peasants reap the harvests of Spain" yearly. Such is the difference of races. Which is also perceptible in our own Tipperary, terra potens ARMIS ague übere glebes : the soil is not originally superior to "all Ireland," bat some " boys" of a tougher breed came up the river Suir, soon made the ground worth fighting for, and have been fighting for it ever since. The waste of war and a depopulating conscription must not be forgotten. Agriculture is ojficina mili tant, the storehouse of soldiers. These Sabine tillers are only happy, sua si bona norint, and to prosperous youth contentment is unknown. " Aueon Li - Cage Du plus heureux village Pcot 4 , re sans soupir." Having few but imaginary evils at home, the strip ling infers per saltum that there are no real evils abroad : and what becomes of him ? "We have seen them at an age, when the body had not yet at tained its full growth, scorched by the sun in sum• mer, and having the snow for bed in winter, march ing without shoes in the morasses ot Poland, or among the craggy peaks of the Alps and Pyrenees, con strained to wrest from the labourer the frugal fare of his children. O❑ more than one occasion we, their generals and their fathers, have been constrained to shut our eyes on the sufferings of the inhabitants." It is General Foy who speaks; and such evils in posse are quite enough to paralyze industry, especially taking into account Dr. Solander's apophthegm (the Swedish botanist who went round the world with Captain Cook)—Man Loves Lazy. Here the succession ot crops is very regular, but very limited ; great economy of manure, but parsi mony of live stock, as of money stock. Where is the aristocrat or theocrat Etruscan Lucumon to hold forth the books of Takes ? A great genius wasTages, who, " when the plough was going very deep (cum sulcus altius inscriberetur) suddenly sprung out of the furrow (repente extitit) with a juvenile aspect, but with all the prudence of age." Chemistry will no more give an ample circulation of humus or nutritive sap than it will introduce Scotch banking, Equally necessary to farmers, who have to wait a year and even two or three years for return. Chemistry can no more detect or explain the qualities of Peruvian guano than it can distinguish the port wine we used to drink at Barnby- moor and Orkenbury-hill in the good old days of bad roads, "-- Saturno rege, priusquiim Tellus in longas est patelacto, •ias," from the finest dos and crus, vintage of 183—. So, after all, " ammonia is useless I" and yet the mineral manures, recommended by Liebig's positive order, ruined the purchasers. Surely a rotation of seven or eight various crops, as on the small farms in Belgium, would enable each plant to find nitrogen, hydrogen, and phosphates for itself. Instead of expecting farmers to ale mbicate their brains with crucibles, retorts and gallipots, the police might compel some one chemist to rent a farm of ten acres, and so bring him to book. The farmer should be re minded that nearly 5-6ths of England is cold, sour, and wet; they are neatly covering their land with thin slices of a substance not far superior to clay, carefully puddling the ground underneath with the sole of the plough, at least once a year, to prevent the escape of stagnant water—hermetically. The Go vernment ought to send half-pay officers to survey all the accumulations of Peruvian—surnamed by a grateful catachresis, Improrian Guano—and pur chase them all. Then, with a better system of money payments, Mr. Tidd Pratt's Cuffe-street savings, instead of being industriously diverted to London circulation, private banks, exchange-mer chants, loan firms, court Jews, Consol-market, and Ministerial blunders, must be industriously con verted into advances of 1/. notes, and usance for the real tillers. Gives us back the times " 'Ere England's woes began, When every rood of ground maintained its man," The bases of Pythpgcrean ethics were-Ist. Quod non posuisti ne tollas; 2d. DkPOSITUM reddas. Yet Sir C. Wood marvels when the Furies of Cuffe street claim their deposits without any instructions on his part. Excuse the digression, in favorem vitae. The depth and richness of soil in France are seen wherever they pretend to do it justice by trenching or other means, as in gardens and vineyardg: French differs from Anglo-Saxon farming pretty much as ancient from modern ; comparing Varro and Columella with Young and Wakefield. " Theirs was correct, precise, regular, persevering, but alto gether unelastic ; ours coarse, without system, in correct, often wasteful, but full of resource." Also the noble Romans cheated the rest or the farm to pamper the vine. They have in France a sort of Code Napoleon, founded on Pandects of Justinian. Still, if our system is wasteful, it is inexcusable, for agriculture, after all, is but prudentia major, farming revenue, husbanding resources, and a good housewife much wanted; farming is high-farming, low farming is no-farming. Every farm is a specialty in its objects, its means, its diffi culties, and its history. Chemistry and machinery may run up ugly compOt and cast iron, but cannot teach men to keep land clean and dry and well ma nured ; or, in other words, to plough deep, sow clean, and much heavy. The latter sentence includes the former : to " plough deep" is to keep the land dry, in all but extreme cases, and to " sow clean" is to keep the land clean : hence golden plough and divine honours from China westward. How can you sow clean with spell alone, except you turn a battalion on to the land, will it be clean when you have done ?—lt will be even as Lupercus his beard, growing faster than shaver could dispose of it. " Entrapelus tonsor, dam circuit ora Lnperci Expungitque genas, alters barbs subit." In England the rural population always detested feudality. They were right. It is the bane of agricul ture, distinguishing this craft from steeple or fox-chases, battues, murderous fights of keepers with poachers, and county gaols—territorial rights and wrongs —mouth honour, praise which the poor heart would fain repress but dares not—royalties of brick-field as of Widdicomb and his royal property (royalty of twopence per catalogue 1851) —in short Real pro perty—fief-simple—taxgathering in capite—Charta Forestm repealed to great detriment of Hygeia—non obstante clause,a la Wiseman: any natural or acquired rights to the contrary notwithstanding. THE LATE MURDER AT lIAVERFORDWEST.—We learn that the police, who have been untiring in their exer tions, have at length been successful in ther efforts, and have produced evidence which cannot fail to fix the guilt of the murder of the old woman Elizabeth Barnard upon a man and woman named Thomas Thomas and Jane Evans, both of whom have been fully committed by the magistrates to take their trial at the next assizes for the capital offence. It will be remembered that the old woman was picked up in a ditch near the Methodist Chapel, in a dying condition, and that, a post mortem examination of the body havinc , been made, the death was clearly traced to injuries that had-been inflicted upon her. • MIDDLE TEMPLE.—A further call to the bar of students of this society was made on Saturday evening, and they comprise the undermentioned gentlemen: —George Frederick 13ulloch, Alexander John Mansfield, Nathaniel Lindley, Thomas Turner, John Alexander Jackson, Wrio thesley Baptist Noel, John Carter.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. By the royal mail steam-ship Canada, Captain. Harrison, which arrived shortly before noon to-day, we have advices from Boston to the 13th, and by te legraph from New York vio Halifax to the 15th inst. The steam-ship Africa, which sailed hence on the 26th ult. at eleven A.M.; arrived at New York on the Sth inst. at one o'clock A.M. The Atlantic, which sailed hence on the 30th ult. at three P.m., reached New York at 2.30 p.m. on the 12th inst. The Cambria was passed at 8.32 on the 15th inst., going into Halifax. By the arrival at N'ew York of the steamers Em pire City, Cherokee, and Georgia we have advices from San Francisco to the .sth of October. These steamers collectively brought specie to the aintitint of 3,193,000 dollars in gold dust. Upwards of 4,200 000 dollars in gold dust was waiting at Panama for shipment when the three steamers left. The destruction caused by the fire was being ra pidly repaired. The intelligence from the overland emigrants was very disasterous ; multucles were said to be starving, and cholera has broken out amongst them. The most praiseworthy efforts were being made by the people of California to send over the mountains pro visions and waggons for the sufferers. Business at San Francisco continued brisk, and the !money market sound. We have advices from Jamaica to the 31st ult. The cholera was raging with great virulence. The Kingston returns for the 28th report 53 new cases 18 recoveries, and 30 deaths—remaining 85 ; at Port Royal 21 new cases, three recoveries, and 11 deaths —remaining 34. Sanitary measures were being actively carried into effect. We learn from Ilavannab that the offer of pro- , tectien of the French ship Mogadore had been ac cepted by the authorities. At New Orleans 100,0001. had been subscribed to promote the Tehuantepec railway. From Venezuela we have advices to the 13th ult. The country was tranquil and the elections proceed ing without disturbance. The voting was said to be in favour of Monagas. The Kingston papers announce the arrival at that port of the mail steamer Clyde, from Vera Cruz, with 100,000 dolls. on freight, but no news. (BY TELEGRAPH.) NEW YORK, Nov. 15.

Our last receipts were per the Asia, the 15ta inst. The market remained on that day, arid fur two days following. in the same dull stare as advised. This dulness was caused by the unsettled condition of the market at New Orleans. On the sth, 6th, and 7th the sales effected averaged 500 bales per day, at weakened and declining rates; indeed, on the 6th a few sales, in all about 400 bales, were effected of middling fair Boweds, 14ic., to I below the quotations previously current. But this announcement brought buyer,. freely forward, and a large business could have been done if sellers would have submitted to that reduction.

Shaltspere's Julius Casar was performed for the second time this .season on Saturday night. Mr. Mac ready, however, instead of playing Brutus, sustained the part of Cassius—a character that in former years was considered one of his best impersonations. Ile gave the usual evidences of quick, practised ability, and high, tducated intelligence; and afforded further ground for 'amercing the proposed departure from the stage of an artist who has for so long a period been esteemed one of its leading ornaments. Mr. Davenport, upon this cc casion, was the Brutus, and Mr. Howe the Marc An thony, both acquitting themselves creditcbly. The cus tomary appearances took place before the curtain at the close of the tragedy. STRAND THEATRE. On Saturday night the amateurs belonging to the Printers' Dramatic Society gave a series of performances at this theatre for the benefit of the Printers' Alms houses Endowment Fund. Shakspere's comedy of As You Like It and the farce of the::Haunted Inn were the pieces selected, both of which were played with atc much tact and discrimination at could possibly he expected from a body of amateurs; and their efforts were duly appreciate d by the audience, who awarded them a very. fair weed of applause, and at the termination of the co • medy an abundance of bouquets. The house was crowded, and there is no doubt that the Printers' Alm houses have consequently received a good addition to their funds. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Nov. 23.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR CAttusix..—The count at the Town-hall, Carlisle, was crowded to suffocation on Saturday morning, it having been currently reported that four desperate characters, who had robbed and made a rufilanly midnight attack upon Mr. Palmer, farmer, of Hall-flat, near Carlisle, would be brought up for examination. The names of the prisoners are Wil liam Mounsey, John Thompson, William Graham, and Robert Pinnick, all of whom are well known to the polico authori ties. The prosecutor, John Palmer, who evidently suffered much, stated in evidence that he was a farmer, living at Hall-fiat, and that while on his way home with his cart from Carlisle on Saturday night week, about eleven o'clock, Mounsey and Pinnick came behind the cart and asked for a ride. They got up behind it, and soon after Graham came up and seized his horse by the head. The prisoners in the cart then seized him by the throat,',and struck him some severe blows,wl,ick rendered him insensible. The last words he heard were " Stick the --." On coming to his senses he found that he had been robbed of 305., a silver watch, and about 3.51 b. of beef. The prisoners repeatedly interrupted the witness; in coarse and brutal language they accused him of uttering falsehoods, and the magistrates were more than once obliged to interfere. A man named Coffield swore that he was in company with the prisoners after the robbery took place, and bought some beef of them. He afterwards received an account of the robbery from Graham. Thi s witness was also coarsely assailed by the prisoners, who were ultimately committed to take their trial at the next assizes.

SIB,—I some time since addressed a letter to you, having reference to a leading article in The Sun, on the subject of promotion in the navy, more particu larly as regarded a reduction of the list of admirals. That letter you were pleased to term " courteous and candid," and I trust that no letter of mine will ever be found otherwise. In the leading article of The Sun of the 15th inst. I was sorry to remark some observations by no means complimentary, on the promotion to rear•admiral of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland. Taken in the abstract your arguments are fair enough, but as regards his Grace, or any other captain in his posi tion, you must forgive me for saying they are neither fair nor liberal. The Duke of Northumberland, like all captains of his standing, entered the navy in the " hottest of the war." With the chivalry of his race, he chose the profession of arms, and became, at a very early age, a member of that service, then the darling service of this country, now, alas! cried down and abu , ed. His Grace passed wirh great credit through ail the intermediate grades, and at length was made choice of by Admiral Lord Exmouth as captain of the ship bearing his flag (the Caledonia), employed in blockading the enemy's fleet, lying in the port of Toulon; and this post, rest assured, he would not have been called upon to fill, had he not been considered fully equal to the task in the opinion of one, than whom the ❑avy of England has seldom, if ever, boasted a superior. His Grace subsequently served as captain in other quarters of the globe, until the conclusion of the war. Since that time he has not served, simply because his services have not been required. But surely, Mr. Editor, you would not erase the name of any officer from the list who bad served you in time of need when no longer required. Why, then, that of the Duke of Northumberland? Why is he not to succeed to his flag when it comes to his turn, after waiting for it for upwards of five-and thirty years? The increase of half-pay, if his Grace receives it, calm"! be an object; but I will answer for it that he set a proud value on the rank in that service in which he was reared, and of which, whilst serving, he was an ornament! Now, Sir, I am very unwilling to believe that your remarks are intended to bear hard on the' naval ser vice, but they do seem to have that effect. Your arguments are correct in the abstract, but they are not just as regards the present state of the Navy List. If you will allow me, I may, perhaps, address you at some future time on this subject, and offer some propositions which, I flatter myself, you will consider equitable, and to which, I think, you will not very much object I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, No. 20, 1850. i4I ARINERO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Permic me to state for the information of the public, that the person styling himself Count Adolphe de Werdinski, and whose examination for a brutal as saul t upon a young , girl before the magistrate of the Police-court in Bow-street, is reported in your paper of this day, is not a Polish refugee, and was denounced as an imposter fifteen years ago by the committee of the Polish refugees in London. This will appear on reference to the columns of the Times of the 19th of October, 1835. I have the honour to be, Sir. &c. C. t-..ZULCZEWSKI, Secretary.

The winds have been very high, and the rain has fallen without intermission. The post which arrived to-day was twenty four hours behind the proper time. A whale was Peen on Wednesday last in Balnakiel Bay, and, after an exciting contest, it was captured by Mr. Reill's (Balnakiel) men. The monster was sixty feet long, and the blubber was divided amongst the inhabitants to supply oil for winter use—lnver ness Courier. CARDINAL:"NEVER DID CARDINAL BRING GOOD TO ENGLAND."—We read in Dr. Lingard's" Hiitory," vol. iv., p. 527. on the authority of Cavendish, that when the Cardinals Campeggio and Wolsey adjourned the inquiry into the legality of Henry VIII.'s marriage with Catharine of Arragon, " the Duke of Suffolk, striking the table, exclaimed with vehemence that the 'old saw' was now verified, Never did Cardinal bring good to England.'" I should be glad to know if this saying is to be met with elsewhere, and what gays rise t 9 it ?..Notes and glom, Cs ,wer e of 5 of „16J o res• ,383 y po cod of iueb bulk th,, per 1a 0 1 grof loot ved >oci to 561 [S S Ois 29 , Sal 99 0 330 rice° ,citer 91 se 11 5, 41 1 " 210. !:3 1 , d; ) 3 , 5 6 3 3 1° , 4
