He applies to numerous persons for a similar situation, the only one for which he is qualified, truthfully states his guilt, his sincere re pentance, and produces his certificates. In vain—no one will employ him; but hiving heard that your butler has suddenly died, knowing that as Home Secretary you can learn every thing respecting his conduct, he ventures to ask you to give him the vacant situation. Say that you believe you would be setting society a good example by em ploying a reclaimed convict, that you proi,ois giving him the situation, and trusting to him that Ouch you value beyond price, your ancestral plate. If you were to appoint him, would 3 ou have done your duty. I say, No. The aproiatment of a re claimed convict, in a country thickly peopled, anxious to obtain employment, deprives an honest man of the just reward of his good conduct. Consider, Sir George Grey, the position of that man, educated in your household because he was one of the many children of an honest and industrious couple residing Mr. frrcti, the solicitor for the bankrupt, now pro duced a letter from Mr. V zwd, the secretary to the Lord Chancellor, : t ding that his Lt.rdship did not col eider his confirmation necessary. A clisewsion between Mr. Linkla:er and Mr. Fitch took place on this point, Mr. Linklutcr contending that the power of the Commissioner only applied to petitions under the new Act, and ti a: as the Court of Review, which derive d is poser from the Lord Chancellor, had bout abolished the power rested in the Lord Chancellor. His HCNOUR said that in the first instance he had felt a delicacy in interfering with an order made by su.:ll a high power as the Lord Chancellor, by wht.m the fiat was directed to issue, but as there was now no Court of Revieiv, and by the new Act this Court was dircc'ed to proceed with and bring to a cnnclusion all ti.its in bank ruptcy, he considered he had the power to annul. Au unconditional ofd-r was then made. IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO COSTS. In a case on a debtor traicr's summons a eptestion arose as to whether a plaintiff residing abtoad was bound to give security kr costs before the defendant could be culled upon to answer the summons as to whether he was indebted or not. For the defendant it was contended that the process of the court would be, rendered most harassing if persons abroad could- call upon persons to answer claims upon them, and in the event of it .being shown they were not indebted to be deprived of costs. After hearing arguments, his Honour said that although the Act only gave him direct power to give costs for or against the plaintiff or defendant, yet the principle of equity was obvious, that the party in the right should not be the sufferer; and as other courts acted on the princi ple of requiring costs, he should do so in this case. The summons was thereLre dismissed nominally with costs, the plaintiff's attJrney baying declined to make himself personally responsible. Mr. Macdonald (from Canada) had an interview with Earl Grey 3 eAterday at the. Colonial-otlier. Tne Right am. Ii Labouehero arlivid in town yesterday from Stoke Pat k. on your property, or in its immediate neighbourhood. His parents had struggled hard for many years to obtain homely food and coarse clothing for themselves and their family. Toiling early and late,.and eating the bread of carefulness, they succeeded in rearing their family without begging from their neighbours or from their parish, and their children have repaid them in the only way parents deserve to be repaid, for they are respected in their several situations, and the eldest, the hope and the flower of the flock, has done his duty to you, and expects modestly, yet justly ex pects, to be appointed to the vacant situation. I again ask you, Sir George Grey, would you have done your duty by disappointing such expectation, and giving the situation to the reclaimed convict ? I believe that your reply would be, that such a step would never have entered into your mind, and such will be the answer of society. Every employer will have the same feeling fur his goods as you have for your plate, and will prefer trusting them to one who has not been convicted of crime. Yes, and such ought to be the feeling of society in this country, teeming with population anxious to be employed, every one surrounded by distressed, and struggling, and deserving objects. Here there is no room for the reclaimed convict, however sincere may be his repentance. What then is he to do ? He will not commit crime ; employment he cannot obtain. There are only two resources between him and star vation, crime or parish relief. He chooses the latter; end such is the end of your reclaimed convict under your vaunted penitentiary system. But that man in a colony, under a judicious sys tem of transportation, would have become a valuable , member of society ; his reformation would be known to his future employers, who would eagerly de.ire his services at much higher wags than if he had been sent from a penitentiary at home, with hundreds besides, all duly supplied with proper certificates ; f,r in a colony the respective position of the employer and the em- MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The November General Sessions for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning before Mr. WITHAM. The calendar contains the names of 53 plibouers. John Bryant was indict.d for stealing, on the 23d of Octuber, 36 bobbins and 35 skeins of silk, the property of Mrs. Ann Arthur. Mr. O'BRIEN, who appeared for the dcf:nce, raised an objection to the case proceeding. In the indictment the prosecutrix's name was put dean as " Antha," not Arthur. The Learned JUDGE told the jury to acquit the pri soner, the name in the indictment being wrung. THE APPEALS —The Clerk of the Peace read a note this morning, stating that owing to the continued illness of Mr. Sergeant Adams the appeals which were set down for heating cn Thursday next must be further adjourned for a fortnight, when it was thought that he would be able to resume his duties in court. GUILDHALL -(THIS DAY.) .701,t Collins was brought up, ohaiged with cutting and wounding James Clift with a knife. It appeared that the prisoner applied to the Esat Lon don Union Workhouse yes;erday evening and demanded relief, and be at last became so troub!esome that Cliff, who is the porter of the establishment, was obliged to remove him, when the prisoner drew a clasp knife from his pocket and inflicted on him two severe wounds on the chest, and one on the fl-Aly part of the hand. Mr. flgrry William Lcf:, surgeon, of Aldersgate :duet, who (bossed the wounds, attended to-day, and stated that it was impossible for the present to say what might be the result of the wuuuds, which were very severe. The prisoner was therefore remanded till Tuesday next. ployed is exactly the reverse of what it is at home.

It now, Sir George Grey, will remain with your self and the public to judge whether the facts to which I have drawn your attention, and the observa tions I have male, do not prove beyond a cavil the truth of the following propositions :- 1. That it would be an act of kindness to a crimi nal to transport him for life upon the commission of his second off,:nce. 2. That such punishment would be a great preven- MARLBRO'-STREET-(Til IS DAY.) ROBBING FURNISHED L OD GINGS.—Henry Hart, alias Lee, and Sarah Cooper, were brought up in custody of Stringer, an active etlicer of the 0 division, charged with robbing their ready-furnished lodgings. Mrs. Holt, 18, Whitcomb-street, deposed that the pri soners took furnished apartments in her house, in the early part of September last, stating to her at the time that they had been recently marrird. On the 25 , ,h of the same month they both suddenly disappeared, and on her entering the rooms a short time afterwards, she found the walls stripped of the pictures, tl.e bedstead of bed and bedding, and the rooms completely cleared of every portable article they could carry away. Witness gave information to the police, and a few days ago she received from the female prisoner about thirty duplicates relating to the property stolen, enclosed in au envelopc. Prosecutrix added that the articles missed were word) about 101. Stringer staled, that from information he had pre viously received, he went into Orange-street, Leicester square, and saw the female prisoner near the baths and washhoutes. Ho told her the nature of the charge. and took her into custody. He subsequently went to Fleet street and apprehended the prisoner Hart.

That the evils hitherto attendant upon transpor tation have arisen from the badness of the plan pur sued, and are not inherent in the system. 4 . . That a judicious system of transportation would be of the greatest benefit to an infant colony. 5. That a judicious system of transportation would produce more beneficial effects on the convict, the mother country, and the colony than any penitentiary plan which has been devised. The judicious system of transportation which I propose would be to send out criminals before the great majority of them were hardened in crime; and let the. penitentiary be in:the colony, where the con vict who is desirous of pursuing an honest course will effect his reformation tinier the cogniz ince of his future employers ; where the convict is incorrigible he will be confined longer than the period to which he was condemned, and kept to hard labour, without any fear that such labour or the proceeds thereof will enter into competition with that of the honest and industrious man.

The most severe discipline, without the least mix ture of cruelty, may be so administered that the most depraved criminal shall feel that the law administers punishment, not for vengeance's sake, but for refor mation, and that his continued good conduct will be rewarded, not by a relaxation of discipline, which would probably occasion a relapse, hut by indal gencies inexpensive to society, grateful to himself, and tending to his reformation. The only weighty objection to a system of trans. portation, That it lays a pernicious foiloda'ion for future communities," is undoubtedly true when ap plied to the system we have adop'ed , but will be found totally inapplicable to that which I recommend; for I keep constantly in view the broad and indis putable fact, that a proper convict system is incom patible with a numerous free population; and that neglect, or ignorance, of the importance of this fact has been one of the principal causes of the disastrous circumstances by which the question is surrounded. While, therefore, the colony remained a convict one the free settlers should be agricultural only. No town, no village, no shop —every article ri quired by the settlers, either imported or 'produced by the con vict, should be sold at a Government store, at a profit, but a small one; thus would he retrieved from the re formed convict the numerous temptations at present thrown in his way.

OLYMPIC THEATRE After an absence of three years, Miss Helen Faucit made her rentree on the London stage, at this theatre, last evening, in a new tragedy, from the pen of Mr. Westland Marston, entitled Philip of France and Marie de Meranie. The plot is very simple, too simple, in fact, to bear well the ela boration of it into five acts. As a three act play the tragedy would have been much more ef fective, whil,2 as a five act play it occasionally drags, notwithstanding the very fine acting of Mr. G. V. Brooke and of Miss Helen Faucit in the principal characters, and the very beautiful poetry of Mr. Marston. Philip Augustus of France (Mr. G. V. Brooke) has been compelled to marry Ingerburge the daughter of the King of Denmark ; for her Philip has always entertained an unconquerable aversion ; but he loves Marie de Meranie (Miss Helen Faucit), and is ardently loved by her in return ; and in order to make her his wife, he repudiates Ingerburge on the score of consanguinity. The scene in which he announces to Marie that he is free was most effectively acted by Mr. G. V. Brooke and Miss Helen Faucit, and is exceedingly well con constructed by the author ; at first she refuses to profit by the ruin of another's happiness —a ruin occasioned, as she imagines, by the caprice of Philipl; but when she learns that a synod of bishops have decided that the marriage is void, on the ground of consanguinity, she consents to become his bride. This scene, admi rably wrought up, and beautifully acted, effectually roused the attention of the audience, and brought down the drop-scene, at the conclusion of the second act, with raptures of applause. At the opening of the third act we find that the Pope has taken up the cause of Ingerburge, and that the thunders of the Church are to be launched at the head of Philip, should he refuse to repudiate Marie and take back Inger burge. Philip hurls defiance to the churchmen, and pours out a flood of bitter and sarcastic satire against the Pope and his pretensions. Each defiance of the Papacy, each hit at its usurped power, was taken up by the audience, and applauded to the echo. Philip is at length compelled to give way for a time, and to take back Ingerburge, but he still hopes to re tain Marie as his love. The scene between Marie and Philip, after the decision of the Council, by which Ingerburge is restored to ber'rights as his wife, is the most effective in the tragedy. Marie, in an agony of suspense, has been waiting the decision of the council, on which her fate depends, when the King h as tily enters, and she - eagerly exclaims— Philip —my lord ! say. May I embrace thee—may I call thee mine— _ . Am I thy wife ? PHILIP. Yes; in the sight of It( even. MARIE. And not of earth? A doom told in a hreath— B ler, but sl cold that it bath froz 3 the fJunt Whence sorrow gushes ! The king tries to persuade her, that though Inger. burge is now queer, they shall not part. She asks— How is% I can be thine, and leggrburge thy wire? PHILIP (after a pause). She is but s) iu name ; thou wilt retain The empire of my heart. MARIE. lit how the light— The livid light I could not see before— Buriit4 on my sight, and wheresoe'er I turn, Toe lurid horror glares. No, it is night ! It se' ms a year since morn, so must be mght. ARhough I sce-4 shall rot touch thy ham!. (Takes his hand as if to assure herself ) It is reality !—And yet—forgive me! A subtle tempter through my o'erwrought brain Would stab my trust in thee. He shall not ion! Even now I'm calmer.—Pray, repeat the words— The words you spake but now. „ PHILIP. I said, my love, Though Ingerhurge might bear the name of Queen, Thou only shoula'st rule Philip— MARIE. Pause awhile. Though Ingerburge might bear the name of Queen I only should rule Pstlip—(Signs to hint to proceed.) PHILIP. Thou should'st be--(Hesitating aad averting his head). MARIE. HIS PARAMOUR !—Oh God, although his voice Was shamel from speech, this is the thing he means ! (Site turns from hint) This scene was magnificently - acted both by Mr. G. V. Brooke and by Miss Helen Faucit. Her manner of uttering the last sentence produced a thrill through the house. In the last act we find poor Marie dying of a bmken heart. Philip having collected his forces has set the Pope and his myrmidons at defiance, and having defeated their partisans in a pitched battle, hastens to the retreat of Marie to clasp her to his arms as his wife : he does so for one instant—in the next he is a widower—her gentle spirit has fled. The acting of • Miss Helen Faucit throughout the part of Marie, which would appear to have been written for her, was full of beauty and pathos, graceful yet most intense, and, above all, full of feminine purity.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAM —The erection of the line of telegraph from Crewe to Birkenhead and Holyhead is proceeding; and in consequence of the liability of the wires to be injured by the dropping of water in the tunnels, the company intend to cover them with proper materials, to pro tect them against damp and atmospheric influences, so that the constant casualties that occurred during last winter in the transmission of intelligence between London and the north will be prevented. A number of men are now en gaged in the Kilsby tunnel and elsewhere in this operation. THE LONDON FARMERS Cum.—Yesterday even lug the members of this club re-assembhd at the club rooms, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, Mr. J. Payne. of Felineisham, in the chair. The subject previously appointed for discussion was, "The importance of some geological knowledge to the farmer." In opening the proceedings the Chairman expressed himself in terms of despondency with regard to the transit' state, as he said it had been termed of the farmi ng i nterest , a state which had , h e observed, been prol nged beyond his own expectations and convenience (Laughter )--and re marked that it would afford him great pleasure to learn from the gentleman who was about to introduce the subject, how, within the next month, a shilling per bushel might be ad !ed to the price of wheat. Mr. B. Webster then introduced the question. Amongst the speakers were Mr. Morton, author of a work on Soils; Mr. W. Shaw, Mr. W. Bennett, Mr. R. Baker, Mr. Ramsay, arid Mr. W. F. Hobbs. On the motion of Air. Shaw, seconded by Mr. Hobbs, a resolution affirming the importacce of a knowledge of geology to the farmer was adopted unanimously ; and a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Webster, for the manner in which he had introduced the subject, AMERICAN NEWS. The accounts from New Yotk this week describe be money market as again easier, the rate upon the nest securities being 5 per cent.

From California the dates are to the 15th of September, being fourteen da3 s later, and the further arrival at Now York and New Orleans of gold-dust amounting altogether to about 500,000/., was regarded as giving the best proof of the correct ness of recent anticipations. The details furnished on this occasion from the various mines are all of a similar character to those brought by the previous mail. New discoveries of "dry diggings" continued to be made, and this, coupled with the introduction of machinery in the districts of the gold -bearing quartz, would keep the production up to a high rate even after the setting in of the net Season. A. run had occurred upon the banking-houses at San Francisco, which had grown into a panic, and has caused the stoppage of four firms, their names being Henry M. Naglee, Simmons, Hutchinson, and Co., Henry Howison, and Farley, Johnson, and Co. The first of these is 'described as " one of the oldest" of the San Francisco bankers. Other houses were run upon—some to a considerable amount, but they had stood their ground, and at the departure of the steamer the rush WAS subsiding. A Mr. King, a Mr. Plume, and Wells and Co. appear to have sustained the grea'est demand. Mr. Plume, it is said in the Alta California, " acted like a man and a banker. He posted up a notice that he would keep open to accom modate the public until six o'clock (an hour later than usual), and also that his bank would be open on Sunday." From the picture given of the crowds that besieged the various establishmknts, and which are „id to have resembled the gatherings at the Post office after the arrival of a steamer, it may be consi dered creditable to the general management of these [on firms that the failures were so few. THE LATE CUTTING AND MAIMING CASE AT BATH. --BATH, Nov. 4.—The prisoner Ogle Wallis was brought up before the magistrates at the Guildhall, Ilath, for final ex amination to-day. Mr. Coplestone, who appeared very weak, and was accommoest ed with 'a chair while giving his evidence, gave a detail of the facts of the case as they h a ve already appeared. At the conclusion of his evidence, Mr. Hellings, his attorney, said he should not press the case of cutting and wounding,,but go simply for the common as sault ; nor should he call any other evidence. The magis ‘trates, therefore, at once adjudicated upon the case, and fined the prisoner 51., which was paid. A suspicion that a ' compromise had been made created great dissatisfaction out of (1990 With thin decision. THE PECKE !i S. ovvEn ~ ~ ~.., ', MOYDAY against the 1,14.1111 uf tin; cons! - , rescue of the Leman, Captain Petty, from Archangel for London, from off the Newcombe S sods, and as saulting the cre cf the Lowestoft steamer which had put off to her assistance, the Assembly-room of the Qaeen's 'lead, where the magistrates pursued the investigation, was densely crowded by merchants, mariners, and others of this port. The foil -wing are the main facts of the case. Eighteen defendants were charged : On the morning of the 18th of October, the Leman struck on the - Newcombe Sand, and three men came off from the beach and tendered their services in getting the vessel off. The Lowestoft steatn-tug then came off, and eventually she was engaged by the master, Mr. Petty, to assist in getting the brig off for fifty pounds. By this period other ats had come eff, and their services being pcsitively refused, they became indignant at the course punned by the harbour authorities in sending out the tug. The &I ndants, it would appear, waited upon the deputy harbour master, andliesired the tug to be withdrawn. Such being refused, however, murderous threats were held out to the captain. They said that they (the tug) were taking the bread out of their mouth, that some body had better be sent out to read the Riot Act, for that they (the wreckers) intended to muster. Other boats (in all six) came near the brig, and on the tug endeavouring to tow the brig off, they un hooked the towing hawsers by their boat hooks, and after resorting to every stratagem, they commence pelting the captain, Mr. Cooper, and others of the crew of the tug with stones. They succeeded in thwarting the exertions of those in the tug. The master was hit on the side with a stone, which rendered him insensible; he was taken ashore apparently fur dead, and now continues ill. The deck of the steamer was strewed with stones, which the men had brought off purposely for the attack, and it being seen that they were determined, if possible, to keep her away, she returned to the harbour, leaving the brig on the sands. The fellows again pressed their servicv, but were as positively declined, when the Coast-guard officers arrived, and order being somewhat restored, another tug, the Pursuit, came off and got the vessel off into the roadstead. The Chairman (the Rsv. Mr. Love), after consult ing with the bench, expressed his regret at the occur rence. Had the injuries to the captain rf the steamer terminated fatally, they might have all been placed in a very serious position. The Bench were inclined to believe that they might have been acting under an erroneous impression, and on consideration of that circumstance they reduced the penalties on each of the defendants to 101., or two months imprisonment. Mr. Ballantine then said that ail the company re quired was to show the men were acting illegally, and as that object had been attained, he would be content with their putting in their recognizance to keep the peace. The Bench acquiesced, and the defendants being called in and pleading guilty, they were bound over in the way recommended. J AMAICA.

Mr. Elliott gave notice of a motion for an address to the Queen on the recent proceedings of the Pope. Sir Peter Laurie supported the motion, as the addiess was to go to the Queen, but em phatically declared thaphe would be no party to an address to the Bishop of \ Exeter or the Bishop of London, as he con sidered them the authors of the late dissensions which had disgraced the Church. He was interrupted by cries of " No," " Hear," and "Shame," and great confusion. He continued" The Bishop of London was at the bottom of all the Papal usurpations." This declaration produced so much tumult that Sir Peter could not go on. Several gentlemen then essayed to address the vestry, but the chairman re fused to hear them, as it was disorderly to discuss a notice of motion. Mr. Glasier rose in great excitement, and de manded to be heard :—" I'm a true Protestant.—(Cries of " Chair.") I'll not be put down—(Chair, order, chair) — I'll face the Pope. I'll never allow the Pope to usurp the Queen."— (Shouts of laughter.)

L. I(NIGUT BRUCE, V.C. R. M. RoLFE, V C. PRUSSIAN AND AUSTRIAN FINANCES. A compari- on of the Prussian and Austrian finances in our Austrian correspondence exhibits the condition in which these two jealous neighbours are running the risk of a general war. As Austria, in the name of the Federation, has actually occupisd Hesse, she must be considered to have spared no provocation to war. Prussia, acting only in her own name, but with almost equal menace, is not far behind in the race of honour. That war has not hitherto re sulted from these threatening movements is the undeserved bounty of an overruling Power. Let statesmen say what they will, exaggerated arma ments, overweening pretensions, and the interchange of defiances put the question of war out of the reach of political control, and expose it to the rash and momentary decision of accident or caprice, pasion or insanity. The Hessians have had the common sense to see that they would gain very little by inviting all the nations of Europe to settle their long-cherished grudges in their cornfields and vineyards, their villages tend their cities. But contingencies which it is unnecessary to describe might have rendered their discretion abortive, and made them pay dear for their taste of constitutional freedom. In what state, then, are the powers that have risked on the throw of a die a war the first flash of which would have extended from Tilsit to Aix-la- Chapelle, and from the Baltic to the Adriatic Sena ? In what state are the Powers that, wearied 3et exaspe rated, exhausted yet irreconcilable, would have been compelled to invoke the dangerous interventions of Russia and France, and would have seen their roads once more :traversed by the alternate streams of Republicans and Cossacks ? Their state is such as to suggest the idea that they may possibly look on war rather as the last hope of repairing a despe rate condition than as a grave and honourable neces i sity. So far as regards mere revenue and expendi ture, under existing conditions, Prussia has something to boast of. Her budget for 1849 was about 14,000.0001., of which the moderate sum of 750,0001. was all that was required for the in terest of the national debt, then estimated at 18,500,000 Z. For thirty years her debt has been in process of reduction, and 375,0001. is yearly appro priated to a sinking fund for this purpose. Her army is estimated to cost no more than 3,100,0001. for the current year, being less than a quarter of the revenue. The sum of 2,000,000/. was added to the debt in 1848, and a new loan of 3,000,000/. has been raised in the present year, against " the eventualities of the German question." What at first sight.appears to com plete a vision of finance almost Utopian to a British un derstanding is the circumstance that Prussia has im mense State domains and Crown lands, moderately esti mated at 55,000,0001., which provide the interest and secure the capital of the debt. Were the finances of England in this plethoric and elastic condition, there is no doubt that we should be at war with all the nations of the earth before the twelve month was out, and that any new war would be hailed wi h cheers on the Stock-Exchange, as happened once b,-fore in the days of our political innocence. But these finances, which we are compelled to take on trust, and which are enveloped, even iii the best in formed circles of Prussia, with a certain inscrutable mystery, must be submitted to a little analysis, and also be compared a ith the political and geographical circumstances of Prussia. It out of 14,000,0001. only 3 100,0001. be required for the army, and only 1,125,000/. can be spared fur the interest and re demption of the deb', what becomes of the remaining 9 775,0001. ? It is evident that the income must de vour itself before it reaches the Exchequer. The Crown lands, like cur own, must cost as much as they yield, and the taxes must be absorbed by the collector. The figures admit of ne other hypothesis, for the civil administration of the empire, exclusive of tax-gatherers, cannot honestly r.ccount for a moiety of this mysterious balance. But a war, it is evident, wauld nadea the direst havoc with the Prussian resources. Sae is all -frontier, all rampart, all river, all road, open at ,every pore, with infinite breaches to defend against hostile attack and internal dilapidation. Scattered, and even heterogeneous, she would have to struggle for cohesion as well as for defence. In such a state her customs would dwindle and her rents disap; ear. Her expenditure would be substantial and her revenue on paper. Her army of 220,000 men, supposing only the younger section of the Landwehr to be called out, would certainly cost, while in active seta ice, as much as 10,000,0001., which, under the circumstances, would probably be the extent of her revenue. We have left out of the question certain contingencies. We have supposed Russia severely neutral, and France nobly unambitious. We have set nothing down to the ac count of Schleswig. Holstein, anal only remotely alluded to the Red Republic at Berlin. Having in our view nothing more than a war with Austria, which, to . say the least, is only half the danger in the Prussian horizon, we cannot set down the annual expenses of that war at less than the whole of her income, with the prospect of decreasing revenue and increasing expense. Ti e case of Austria is confessed. Her affairs are in such utter confusion that our correspondent, in the vain attempt to reach a terra firma, starts from a dividend of 4s. in the pound in 1811. This is only one of four bankruptcies. Not to follow our correspondent through the long series of financial embarrassments and dishonest evasions, it is enough to observe at the end of 1849 the public debt amounted to 103,500,000/. ; there is a floating debt of 22,500,0001, which the State owes to the Bank; and the paper money in circulation amounts t) 34,500,000/., against bullion to the amount of 3,000,0001., leaving 31,500,000/. of paper unprotected. Such a protec tion is, of course, none at all ; and Austrian paper in a yearof "peace," and only three years from the com mencement of these troubles, is now as much de preciated as our own paper was after almost a generation of war. The Austrian expenditure in 1849 was estimated at 16,000,0001. for nine months, or about 21,330,0001. for the year ; the army being set down at the incredi bly moderate figure of 6,000,0001. As that army during the Hungarian war was reckoned at 500,000 men, it is evident that part of its cost must have been out of this estimate.' The interest of the Austrian debt may be guessed from the above-mentioned ca pital ; and as the expense of collecting the taxes was not less than 4,140,000/. in 1839, it will not be much less now. Yet to meet a confessed expenditure of 21,000,000/. the income in 1849 was not more than 9,330,000/. a year, the revenue being thus not half sutlicent for the expenses. Such a state of things, it must be admitted, offers some inducements to war. As Austria cannot possibly continue to maintain her standing army, though it be the rope of sand that binds her discordant dominions, it is possible that she may cherish the hope of quartering it upon Federal Germany. She m ay catch at that straw. An active pre sidency in the affairs of the Federation may resu i•crtate that unity which has recently receive d such terrible shocks en both the Daaube and the P o. Forei g n war is a very old specific for disen.-ions at home. These, however, are but dangerous exped'ents. The surest results of a war is its cost, end should Austria be once fairly embarked in a struggle for the German supremacy with her formidable rival, she must soon he reduced either to another bankruptcy or to still more dishonourable. and ruinous ex;erlients. In the face of history, we contest indulge the hope that the prospect of insolvency will ever rintke Austria wise. Her late movements exhibit. a reckless disregard of prudential considerations. The truth, however, must be known for the benefit of all whom it may concern . The notoriety of her insolvent condition may lead to such a " pressure from without " as shall make her attempt more by moderate counsels than by formid able demonstrations. Her present course, as well as that of her great rival, tends to the subjugation of Germany, and small pity will ch her receive if they, are both ruined in the attempt.— Times. SOMNAMBULISM. — An extraordinary and distress ing occurrence took place on Sunday morning at the house of Dr. Eccles, in Newhall-street, Birwinghatr. It appears that, Mr. Blurton, brother of Mrs. Eccles, :-.as beda in the habit of rising from bed and walking in a state of somnam bulism, but no ill consequences resulted from his infirmity_ until Sunday morning, when he left his bed about a quarter past five o'clock, opened the window of the attic room in which he usually slept, and precipitated himself to the ground. In his descent he fell against the dining- room win dow, which to some extent broke the fall, b the neverthe less came with fearful violence against the spiked railing in front of the house, anti was dreadfully injured. Two police men who were on duty in the neighbourhood heard the noise occasioned by the fall, and on proceeding to the spot raised Mr. Blurton and conveyed him to the house; the injuries received were of t m'st frightful character; for many hours the cries of the unfortunate man alarmed the whole neigh bourhood ; and up to last evening he continued in a state of extreme danger. - LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LITE. —A dreadful accident occurred on Wednesday last at the Fron goch lead mines, near Aberystwith, the property of the Earl of Lisburne. Seven of the miners were making preparations early in the morning for commencing work, when one placed a lighted pipe, which he had momentarily taken from his mouth, near some powder which they were about to use. This ignited three half-cwt. barrels close by, znd an explo sion, heard for miles distant, followed, the place being In stantly enveloped in flames. One poor man was killed on the spot; two others were so severely injured that they sur vived but a few hours. and the remaining four are in such a dreadful state that their deaths ore hourly expected. Inq..ests upon the three unfortunate sufferers were held on Thursday, an d verdicts in accordanc e with the evidence returned. In each case the poor men have left wives and children to lament their ultimate loss. To some men it is indispensable to be worth ra 3 n y, for without it they would be worth nothing.—Elizu Cook's .rournal.
