Cotton—Confirming our last,; per Europa, of the 2d inst., we continua our report of the market ad interim. The sales of the 3d were 800 to 1.000 bales, at very full and hardening prices. On the 4th we received, at 3 P at. telegraphic advices from the Hibernia at Halifax. Prior to their receipt 3,000 bales were sold at ic. ad vance, consequent on the receipt of further advices of injuries done to the crop by the hurricane on the 24th After the receipt of the Liverpool advices of the 231 (which were !snore favourable than anticipated), holders again advanced their rates ie. to ic., and which was yeet -rda.y paid—the sites reaching 2,500 bales. To-day the transactions reported on 'Change were 2,200 bales at full and hardening prices. Wo advance our quo tations to conform to the business doing. Growing Crop.— We cannot yet estimate correctly the extent of the dam age to the crop from the recent hurri cane, owing t) the continued irregularity and failure of the southern mails. F rom th e information before us we ran speak positively of great dam Ige in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the northern part of Alabama. From the interior of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Ton nFssee, we have no I ate advices, hut as the let ters from Mobile and New Orleans of the 28th make to allusion to the storm, wn think the crop in the south west has escaped its revages. From Mobile we yester day evening received a telegraphic communication of the 31st ult. (six days by telegraph) as follows:—" Mid dling 124 e. No later news from Liverpool than 9'.h of August. Crop continues to suffer. Forms and bolls are shedding from continued drought on sandy lands, and in some sections of black lauds worms have appeared." The long crop estimators of July and August have disappeared ; the most extreme opinion that we now hear advanced is 2,250,000 bales, and this with many saving clauses. As near as we can arrive at a reliable and candid view of the subject on this side, by canvass ing the opinions of well-informed parties, we believe it to be that the yield of 1850 and 1851, with a late frost, will not vary much from that of last season, end with an early one will fall materially short of it. Our own opinion has been, since the lateness of the planting season and date of bloom was fixed, and still that the crop will, under any circumstances, be a moderate one, but how moderate it is too early to estimate.

Occasionally, it is true, amongst ourselves some miserable creature, carried away by his imitative insanity, surpasses even the mobs of New York and Washington by the folly of his self-abasing adulation, as where some wretched wight the other day in Liverpool, mimicking the homage paid of old to the Loan in Palestine, followed the Swedish Nightingale through the multitude to touch the hem of her garment. Altogether, however, the madness of this popular sycophancy to persons in any way distinguished is rendered the most conspicuous and appreciable by that aggregation of toadyism which can be scen nowhere so glaringly as in a con course of American citizens. There the pandering to the mere lust of popularity runs rampant, until those who, like ourselves, are looking on with dispassionate inquisitiveness, are shamed into some moderation of our own ardour. &), likewise, is it inevitably in regard to the cultivation of an appetite for horror, such, for example, as finds its highest enjoyment in feasting on all particulars relating to the last mo ments of any very horribly murderer in the condemned cell and on the scaffold. Of this we have had in the last scenes of the career of Professor WED,TER a most disgusting and ghastly illustration. The public curiosity, after being excited to the utmost possible de gree by the protracted nature of the trial and of the subsequent deliberations in regard to the sentence, was gratified in a horrid manner by the minuteness of the details, collected, printed, and published in reference to this atrocious assassin. Scarcely a quiver of the muscles passed across his countenance but it was recorded. Not a groan broke from his lips in darkness and apparent solitude but it was noted down with historical exactness. The utter ances of wisdom which fell like precious stones from the mouth of the great and the good Dr. JOHNSON were not more scrupulously committed to paper by the obsequious BOSWELL, than the hypo critical phrases and stilted platitudes which formed the staple of the conversation of this most atrocious miscreant. By regarding these melancholy spectacles as they transpire upon the arena of public events in the United States, it is impossible but that wholesome deductions must be drawn from them by the impartial spectator. It is in this spirit that we have referred to them in the present instance. It is in this spirit that we shall direct attention to their re currence at every available opportunity. The many trite and familiar sayings which bewail the miseries of royalty and console the humble and lowly, by the assurance .that " uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," receive a frequent and very emphatic contradiction when we contemplate the every-day life of Queen VICTORIA. In the accounts, for example, of the pure and simple but apparently not unjoyful festivities of Balmoral, we find some thing more than idle gossip to amuse the curious, we discover abundant matter for thoughtful congratula tion. The most democratic of us all, who would re solutely refuse to bow the head to a throned tyrant, even if invested with the genius or girt about with the glory of a NAPOLEON, may take a loyal pleasure in the domestic happiness of a SOVEREIGN who has so admirably and so practi- cally testified her acquaintance with a ttuth which all rulers hitherto have found to be the most difficult of lessons—namely, that the king is made for the people, not the people for the king. So, while other sovereignties, from the venerable dynasty of Austria to the recent monarchy of the Barricades, have become the sport of fortune, forgetful of the truth aforesaid, Queen VICTORIA has found, with every succeeding year, her throne more secure and her popularity more enthusiastic ; and now, when the vicissitudinous career of Louts PHILIPPE has been ended by a death of exile, while the heir of the ancient BOURBONS is still a hopeless wanderer, while NICHOLAS and FERDINAND, holding their crowns with " the red right hand,!: rise the objects of worldwide indignation and abhorrence, VICTORIA saunters amid the wild beauties of Balmoral, not only untramelled by the etiquette of state, but free from all the cares and alarms which so often rack the brain that wears a crown. The example is worth consideration in these days of renovated constitutions. It is applicable to all Governments, whether repub lican or royalist. No matter by what name the supreme power be denominated, whether Emperor, King, or President, that power springing from the people must be wielded for and through the people 41ane. Arbitrary power may be invested with a temporary splendour, but it bears within itself the elements of decay, whereas a liberal constitution, such as that which we enjoy, and a Sovereign who, iks Queen VicroxlA, "refine meis ne gouverne pas," and finds her happiness in so maintaining the balance of power, remains undisturbed by the storms of fac tion or the tempests of revolutionary excitement. Throned in the affections of her people, she can find leisure amidst all the cares of ber supreme dignity to participate in those domestic enjoyments which it has been one of the principal objects of her reign to secure to the meanest among the numbers of our population. She feels the tranquillity of her virtuous Court guaranteed by the recollection of that con stitutional policy which for more than twelve years has characterised the acts of her government. Bearing this remembrance in mind, it is not possible to look with indifference at the royal seclusion in the gardens of Balmoral, where the descendant of the House of Brunswick is sojourning, not only un molested but beloved, encompassed by that loyal at tachment which Scotland formerly bestowed alone upon the STUARTS. An instructive moral may be drawn from the position of Queen VICTORIA, when contrasted with that of the KING at Potsdam, or the EMPEROR at Schcenbruno, with that of the PRESI DENT at Paris, or the AUTOCRAT at St. Petersburgh.

B.—An event of melancholy in terest to the English community of this place has occurred during the week. Lord William Clinton, who has only been here a short time, attached to the British mission, having imprudently started on a tour in the interior during the very great heats, returned here on Monday last dangerously ill. In 48 hours he was a corpse, notwithstanding every attention paid to him; but it was evident from the first that he could not recover, the fever having been raging within him for several days, and without the means of obtaining any medical assistance. He was followed to the grave by the diplomatic body and the English mission and the English residents here. His Lordship was the fourth son of the Duke of New castle, and was born on the 13th of January, 1515. POOLE AND Ma. GORDON.—Mr. Gordon's address to the " independent electors" of Poole, on retiring from the approaching contest, has gratified them considerably front the character which he gives to the town. He says it is" agree able ," and he adds. " Although not without hope of success had I persisted— a Itbpe exalted by your flattering and un bought applause—the principles of a free-trader will not permit me on this occasion to proceed further in soliciting your votes.

Western Times. Alecitii •lii LONDON, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1850. Certainly nothing could be more singularly cha racteristic than the intelligence just received from the United States. Every particular is on that gigantic scale which appears to he peculiar to the citizens of Yankaeland. Everything is of that moun tainous description which seems alone consonant with the egotism of the trans-Atlantic democracy. For exsmple, there are " Great Flo° Is" at Pottsville and Philadelphia; " Great Storms" at *Virginia and North Carolina; and " Great Gales" at Buffalo and Lake Erie. Then there is the execution of the " Great Murderer," Professor WEBSTE2—and much the American journalists make of it, to the morbid delight of their readers, expatiating on every particular of that "great card," from the utterance of his last ejaculation to the smoking of his last cabana! Then, by the most preposterous misapplication of the favourite adjective, there comes, to crown all, the " Great Jenny Lind," who, as far as the New York press is concerned at least, seems to be the " great gun" of the occasion, the " cynosure of neighbouring eye.," the " observed of all observers " Altogether the news brought to our shores from America is of the most grating kind imaginable to all just sense of propriety, partaking of that distressing partiality for exaggeration and hyperbole in which has originated the fashionable weakness of being pre cociously " used up and prematurely blase. The sword of DAMOCLES, the drunken helots of Sparta, the death's head of the classic revellers, could not have furnished more instructive lessons than those which may be derived from the peculiarities percep tible in contemporary nations. A country like our own, observing those peculiarities with impartiality and vigilance, cannot fail to recognise here and there a warning at any rate from the perpetration of such extravagances. Not but that England is guilty in her way of many absurdities and fantastic blunders as the most absurd and fantastic of her contemporaries. But, blinded by egotism and habit as to our own blemishes, it is easier to detect weaknesses in another than under any circumstances in ourselves. Therefore it is that we cannot but re gard this critical analysis of our neighbours' tem perament as most laudable, beine• in a great t„ fin ward our own advancement, while it enables him to view himself as he appears in the eyes of a remote community. Besides, it should be remembered that foreigners, that is to say, persons removed beyond the limits of our own particular dominion, are to us in a manner something like our posterity. They furnish us with dispassionate estimates—the distances of place being in this way almost as effectual or effica• cieui as the distances of time. As they are to us, moreover, so by necessity are we to them—not merely carping, but judiciously censorious. Looking, therefore, at the magnified examples of folly set before us by our American brethren, we are afforded a means of recognizing the ludicrous aspect of some of those popular weaknesses to which we English are in like manner addicted. Foremost among these are—first, the toa lying of mere celebrity, and, secondly, the diseased and prurient curiosity after the notorious. We know not which is the more sense less, the more frivolous, or the more repulsive. Of each we ourselves, as a community, are guilty, though not to the enormous extent of the people of the Un i ited States. There the hunting after celebrities is carried to a degree degrading to humanity. The ballet dancer and the philosopher, the mere vocalist and the literary genius, the Jack-pudding of the histrionic art and the apostle of a new school of philanthropy, being each and all pursued alike, with an lindifiCritni.. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1850. MANSION-110USE.—(THIS DAY.) Barney Hagan and Mary Hagan, father and daughter were brought before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, the latter charged with stealing a valuable brooch, the property of her master, and the former with having it in his possession. _ It appeared that the male prisoner went yesterday afternoon to a pawnbroker, named Harrison, in the Minories, to pledge the brooch, but some suspicion being entertained a policeman was called in, and he was given into custody. He said he had received the brooch from his daughter, who was a servant, but he pre tended not to know whore she lived. It was, however, ascertained that she was in the employ of Mr. Benjamin Meyer Louis Rothschild, a jeweller, who carried on business at No. 2, South-street, Finsbury, and on the policeman going there he saw the female prisoner, who, on being questioned, admitted having had a brooch in her possession, but said it had been given to her by a boy two or three months ago, when she was passing through Petticoat-lane, and that she had lately made a present of it to her sister. An interview was then obtained with her master, who said the brooch belonged to him, and that he had lost it for eight days. The prosecutor, who was called, identified the brooch, wh;ch he said had been stolen from an iron safe in his counting-house. The female prisoner had only been about ten or twelve days in his ser►ice. Both the prisoners were remanded until the evidence of the pawnbroker could be obtained. WESTMINSTER.—(THIS DAY.) Mary Cumming was charged before Mr. Burrell with an assault on Sarah Ferguson. Sarah Ferguson stated that she met the defendant in St. Martin's lane at half-past seven last night, when she abused her; saw her again about half-past eight in York-street, when she again called her bad names, and struck her with such violence as to knock her dawn, when she stabbed her with a pair of scissors in her neck, and inflicted a terrible blow on her eye. Mr. BURRELI. (to complainant)—What is the cause of defendant annoying you? Complainant—l was some time ago witness against her, when she bad 21 days for stealing a purse, and she has been annoying me er slum The prisoner denied having interfered with com plainant till she struck her, when she being the strongest woman, got the best of her. She denied having had scissors or anything else in her hand. Complainant had constantly taunted her since she had bcea in prison. Fined .54 or two months' imprisonment The congregation of Bayswater Episcopal Chapel have presented to their pastor, the Rev. C. Smalley, M. 1., on his completing the 21st year of his ministry at that chapel, a splendid silver centre piece for the table, weighing 140 ounces. Major Jones, of the 11th Hussars, was put under arrest by Lieut.- Colonel the Farl of Cardigan, at Norwich Barracks, on the 19th of September. • DELIBERATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—An attempt at murder, accompanied by circumstances of much delibera tion, occurred on Tuesday last, at Crew's Hole, near this city. A dispute had arisen between two men named James Price and William Hicks, about blasting a quarry, which is the property of Price, but which he has let to Hicks. On the afternoon of the day in question Price, having armed himself with a loaded gun, went to the quarry, accompanied by his son-in-law, a man named James Bryant, and ordered Hicks's men to leave off worki ng ; t h ey declined to do so, apon which he said, " H you do not desist I will shoot you," and Bryant said, "hoot them, shoot them, I'll stand the racket." Price immediately l eve ll ed his gun, and shot a man named Joseph Pearce, shattering his hand to pieces. The poor fellow was immediately removed to our Infirmary, where he now lies. Intelligence of the outrage having been conveyed to P. S. Hazel!, No. 70, that active officer, assisted by P. C. Porter, 71, succeeded in apprehending the offenders, Price and Bryant, who were taken before Mr. Hughes, by whom they were remanded to await the recovery of Pearce. —Bristol Mercury. CAUTION AGAINST GOING ON RAILWAYS.—On Wednesday last a fatal accident occurred on the South Wales Railway, near Skewen. Whilst one of the trains was passing along at a rapid rate, an old man on crutches, between eighty and ninety years of age, got knocked down by one of the carriages, and had his leg fractured in two places. He suffered so much that he expired yesterday. From what we have learnt, the accident was entirely the result of his own impru dence. He has been warned off the line frequently, but to no purpose. When the train came in sight, he was seen standing on the line, and although the engine -driver sounded the whistle, put on the breaks, and took every possible pre caution to attract attention, the poor old fellow took no notice, and thus fell a victim to his want of caution and dis obedience of orders. —Cambrian of Friday. We regret to bear that the Bishop of London, who is absent on the Continent, has been for some time suffering under great indisposition, occasioned, in a great measure, by the anxiety of mind to which he has been subjected by late events in the Church. —Church and State Gazette. A FACT FOR THE PROTECTIONISTS.—At the weekly meeting of the Board of Guardians of the Swansea Union, held yesterday, there was not a single application for relief from one of the seventeen agricultural parishes com prised in this union. The only applications made were by parties residing in the town, and those numbered only two. Some months ago, the business of the Board generally en gaged the attention of the chairman and the guardians from ten till four, o'clock in the afternoon. For some weeks past the number of applicants for relief has diminished so mach that the business has not detained them more than a few hours. Such has been the effect of free-trade in the Swansea Union.— Cambrian of Friday. Baron Brunow (the Russian Minister) has re turned to London from St. Petersburgh. His Excellency had only reached the Russian capital a few days before he received the distressing news of the demise of Mdlle. Olga de Lechner, his step-daughter. - - ACCIDENTS ON THE RIVER.—On Thursday two fatal accidents took place on the river. The first was that of a boy named John Walker, aged 10 years, who was employed on a barge moored off the Tunnel Pier, Wapping, and who whilst walking along the side of the vessel fell overboard. An alarm was raised, and every exertion made to save him, but he never rose to the surface of the water, and was conse quently lost. The body has not yet been found. The second accident happened to a man named James Conway, a mariner belonging to a vessel called the Scarborough, lying off Hermitage7stairs, near the London Docks. He by some means fell overboard, and before assistance could be afforded was carried away by the tide. As the shadow follows the body in the splendour of the fairest sunlight, so will tho wrong done to another pursue the soul in the hours of prosperity.—Eliza Cook's Journal. In Russia there are special hospitals for the tjse of the distressed nobility. An official notification, in the last number of the Police Gazette of St. Petersburgh, makes known that in consequence of the closing of one of the nobles' hospitals, in that city, a new one of 66 beds is to be opened for male nobles in the town of Oboukhoff. - - - The following is the text of the clause of the will of the late King Louis Philippe relative to his testamentary executors :—" I name for my testamentary executors, M. Dupin, Baron Laplange-Barris, Count de Montalivet, the Duke de Montmorency, and M. Scribe, to whom I am happy to give this proof of my confidence in, and my feelings towards them." YANKEE RAT TRA?.—Among the list of new patents issued in June last, is one for an invention of Mr. Stephens, of Maryland, whereby he has endeavoured to bring the science of optics to aid him in constructing a trap for catching rats. In this new trap a mirror is so arranged that the rat which looks at the bait shall see his own image reflected in such a position as will lead him to believe that a second rat is trying to get before him in seizing the bait; and when the first rat has been caught, his image will be re flected by:a mirror, so that the next rat who shall look arthe bait shall see two rats apparently striving to seize it, thus decoying him upon the turning table, which yields to his weight and precipitates him into the body of the trap._.

We regret to learn that Christopher Kreeft, Esq., Consul-General for his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, died rather suddenly on Thursday last, at his residence in town.

The vice-president, ordinary and ex traordinary councillors, the secretary, and the subal tern functionaries of the council of state are named by his 'lola:suss. No Councillor of State can exer cise the business of advocate or attorney. The coun cil of state discusses matters relating to government or to administration, as well as to contentious affsirs. It is divided into two sections, one for Legislation and Finance, the other for the interior. The former section takes cognisance of all matters belonging to finance and justice, the latter discusses all affairs re lating to the other Ministerial departments. The more important matters referred to the council of state consist in projects of new laws, the interpreta tion of existing ones, questi ons of competence of Ministers, the examination of municipal laws, and of the acts of provincial councils, and all affairs directly sent to the council of state by the Porz. The power of the council of state in non -contentious matters is merely consultative; its'resolutions, whether taken in the general or in the sectional sittings, are consi dered as mere opinions. In all contentious matters of administration, the council exercises the functions of a magistrate within the limits to be determined by a special regulation. The Ministers may be present at the general and at the sectional sittings. When, at a general sitting, the cardinal president or the vice-president de clares the discussion closed, the council imme diately proceeds to the vote. Six council lors, five of whom must he ordinary, and either the president or vice-president, form a quorum. The sections cannot deliberate unless there be at least three councillors present, two of whom must be ordi nary. All the members present sign the resolution or opinion which they have voted ; it is then submitted by the president to the POPE, if the affair has been sent by him to the council ; if not it is submitted to the Council of Ministers, or to the competent Mi n er , the POPE decid es .

There is again an apparent anomaly in the wetkly return of the Bank of Eugland to the 14th inst., sicce, in the face of larger advances upon securities, there is no addition to the circulation; on the contrary. It is, however, still the public deposit account that is the cause of this rejection or return of notes, and until the quar terly payments begin, we can expect no alteration in this respect. Tho private balances were lessened a little to meet the usual requirements of the mercantile com munity while the transfer books are closed.

The sudden revulsion in the market prices of Railway Shares, after the late rapid advance, may be appropriately demonstrated to have: no reference to traffic, but to be rather the result of speculation and profit realisations. Taking all the railways of the United Kingdom, we shall find but a very limited number that did not last week experience an increase of traffic. An analysis of the takings shows an excess to the following amounts compared with the like period of 1849:—Aberdeen 8911., Caledonian 5691, Elinburgh and Glasow 3481., North British 5744 The Dublin and Kingstown 2734, Great Southern and Western of Ireland 1,6721., and Midland Groat Western of Ireland 2251.

The instances of a decrease comprises Eastern Coun ties, 1151., and York and Berwick, 2371. The Paris and Rouen receipts were larger by 1,729/., the Rouen and Havre by 8661., the Amiens and Bou logne by 6781., and the Dutch Rhenish by 2221. Tho amount of silver exported direct from London this week is 41,200 ounces, and of Gold 311 ounces and 4,000/. The accounts from Yorkshire describe trade as being very active, but in Lancashire it is rather duller again. There are advices of May 26 from Port Phillip. The Rev.

A feeling of extreme disgust has been excited by the announcement that the Spanish Junta of Public Credit would not adopt the plan of the English committee, or even suggest any other. The following is a notice on the subject:— . " The Comtnitteo for regulating the debt of Spain, whilst admitting the justice of our claims and the mode rate terms of proposed compromise, have declined to re commend their acceptance to the Government, upon the plea that Spanish Finance is not equal to sustain the burden which those terms would entail upon it, and they abstain from suggesting any other at present, " JAMES CAPEL. " Friday evening, Sept. 20, 1850." The value of Spanish Five per Cents. bits been re duced from 19i to 18* ; while the Three per Cents. have touched 38 to 381, being con s id ere d a l l t h e surer as long as nothing is paid on the rest of the debt.

The Republique republishes the protest against the legitimacy of the Due DE BORDEAUX, alleged to have been made by Louts PHILIPPE, then Duke of OR LEANS in 1820, and published in August 1831, just previous to his election to the throne as King of the French. The .Republique in commenting on this protest says— " That one of two conclusions must be corns to, namely, either that the Duke de 'Bordeaux is illegitimate and has no claims to the throne, even according to the princip'e of hereditAry right, or that Louis Philippe, in order to preparo his way to the th rone , was gu il ty o f act which should have covered him with infamy." The [iloniteur du Soir has the following:— " It is from and after Tuesday next, the 24th Sep tember, that the journals will have to conform to the enactment of the new law on the press, relative to the signatures to be attached to political articles." The National publishes the reply of the POPE to the appeal of the Jesuit conductors of the Univers, against the condemnation passed on their proceedings by the Archbishop of PARIi. The POPE gives the writers in the Univers full credit for their intentions, but he addF, that it eppears to the " venerable brother who governs the Church of Paris," that they have, in the heat of discussion, gone so far as to oc casion some prejudice to the cause they defend; and he accordingly recommends them to " moderate the enthusiasm of their zeal," and to " listen to the coun sels of their beloved father." By a decision of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, General BONET, commanding the artillery of the 2d military division, has been named Commandant of the Polytechnic School, in the room of General PONCE LET, who has been allowed to make good his claims to retire. General HUBERT has been appointed Commandant of the Artillery of the Ist military di vision. The Salut Public of Lyons, says :—" The last news received from America have checked the activity of our manufacturers. Orders come in slowly, and can not in part be executed, owing to the restrictions placed on the manufactories by the American agents. The enormous quantity of manufactured goods, which were produced by our manufactories, and also by those of Switzerland and Germany, in the year 1849 and 1850, have also partially caused the present slackness. The markets of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, are literally encumbered. The letters received by the last steamers announce that sales by auction were about to take place in different towns, to get rid of the goods accumulated in the ware houses, and to free the capital which paid for them. These sales at a loss will no doubt be beneficial to us, but it is not probable that the effect of them will be immediately felt. Among other causes of this slackness, we must not forget the poor silk harvest in France and Italy, and consequently the high price of that article. The silks, in fact, keep up at a price which they have not had for a long time past, and the letters we received from the fair of Aubenas, which took place on the 15th, are not of a nature to cause it to be believed that they will fall much for some time."

Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived. They contain no intelligence of public importance. The Bolsa was closed on the 15th. GERMANY. Everything remains quiet in Hesse-Cassel. The Elector of HESSE-CASSEL arrived at Wilhems bad, with his Ministers, on the 16th. The authori ties went to pay him their compliments on his arrival. He alighted at the Chateau of Philippsrate. M. DE HASSENTFLUG arrived there the same evening. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Berlin of the 16th, stating that the Prussian Government has decided not to interfere in the affairs of Hesse- Cam?), unless some foreign power should first set the example of sending troops there. In that case it would send in troops also, not to take part either with the ELECTOR or with the other party, but merely to guarantee the interests of Prussia in a military point of view. Notice of this intention has been given to the Government of Hesse. The King of HANOVER has declined to interfere in he affairs of Hesse-CaEsel. It is stated that before setting out for Hanover the ELECTOR and HASSENPFLUG exchanged high words ; the former was fain to give way, after HASSENPFLUG had exclaimed, " Very well ; then let your Royal Highness pay me, and I will go." The Chamber of Ilesse Darmstadt held a sitting on the 16th. It was remarked that none of the Ministers were present. Letters from Cologne give an account of the re ception of HArNAu in that city. He was attended by a guard of soldiers wherever he went, and was al ways greeted with groans ant hisses. The drivers of the public vehicles one and all refused to drive the " Austrian Hangman," and he was forced to walk to and from the railway station. The Cologne paper, in relating his adventure at Bankside, and his reception by the English draymen, says "no one pities him here. " The Augsburgh Gazette says he came to England purposely to test public opinion, and boasted he would show Englishmen that the "woman-flogger of Hungary" and the " hyzena of Brescia" cared no thing for what they might think of him, and would not be intimidated. The Emperor of AUSTRIA is about to make him a Field-Marshal ; so much for the stories of his disgrace. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. It is said that Austria has determined to interfere against the Duchies. The Austrian Minister says that if the two Duchies are indivisible it would be better to detach Holstein from Germany than to de tech Schleswig from Denmark. The Assembly of Schleswig-Holstein has rejected a proposition for conferring electoral rights on all adult males. ITALY. The Giornale di Roma of the 11th September, at Length publishes two of the long•expected organic laws promised by the motu proprio of his HOLINESS of the 12th of September, 1849. Both these laws are promulgated by Cardinal ANTONELLI, in the name of the POPE ; one relates to the organization of the Ministry, and the other establishes a Council Of State. By the former law all the branches of public adminis tration are divided into five Ministerial departments, viz., the Interior, Grace and Justice, Finance, War, and lastly Commerce, Agriculture, Manufac tures, Fine Arts, and Public Works. This division, however, is declared not to be definitive ; the number of Ministers being liable to be increased or diminished by his HOLINESS, according to cir cumstances. Besides the titular Ministers, his HOLINESS may grant the title of Minister of State, without special functions, to any per son he may think deserving of the distinction. Every Minister has a deputy to represent him in the ma nagement of his department. The relations of the Holy See with the other powers are always and ex clusively confided to a Cardinal Secretary of State, who is the organ of the sovereign for the promulgation of legislative acts, and to whom also belong all matters relating to treaties, protection of Pontifical subjects, passports, naturalisation, and legalisati on o f f ore i gn documents. The five inisters form a Council of Ministers, to which their deputies are not admitted. The Cardinal Secretary of State is president of the Council of Ministers. Each Minister proposes to his HOLINESS the laws and regulations he may think ne cessary in his department; such proposals are dis cussed in the Council of Ministers. The Minister of the Interior presides over the internal adminis tration of the state, provinces, and municipalities, and has control over the governors of provinces, the provincial councils, the magistrates and councils of communes, the direction of woods and forests, and the censorship of the press. The Minister of Grace and Justice controls the tribunals of the state, judges, ad vocates, attorneys, and chancellors ; he grants par dons and commutations of sentences in name of his HOLINESS, and regulates the discipline of the judicial order. The tribunals of ecclesiastical jurisdiction, however, depend from the Cardinal SeCretary of State. The Minister of Finance has the direction of the pro perty of the State, the Mint, Custom-house, public debt, stamp and registry-duties, post-offices and lot teries. The revenue force is under his orders. The Minister of Commerce, Agriculture, Manufactures, Fine bers A a h r d t s , i a e n s t d i t P u t u i b e e l i e c l e V f o r e li e s h m a e s r c e o e n , t r t o h l e o e v x e r e h c e h e a g m e - , brokers, mercantile navy, declarations of literary or tnanufactural property, weights and measures, agri.. cultural institutes, fairs and markets, ancient and modern monuments, and public roads, canals and ' bridges.

It is presided over by the Cardinal Secretary of State, and has a prelate for vice-president.
