At the mo ment when additional calamities have fallen upon the Confederation in consequence of the mal-administra tion of affairs in Hesse-Cassel, the nation is startled by n'w disasters arising out of its Quixotic enterprise in behalf of the Schleswig-Holsteiners. That enterprise has mat with its just retribution. The war of spolia- Lion hasbeen attended, from its commencement up to the present moment only by discomfiture. Denmark has proved true to its ancient and glorious reputa tion. Attacked by the soldiers of the German al- liance, the SOVEREIGN of that venerable and chivalric monarchy has found himself aided by the unconquer able valour of the Danish lieges, and by the loyal df votion of the Government of Copenhagen. I - Hs nies have fought in every encounter with that daunt less hardihood befitting the custodians of the Baltic, and by, a series of brilliant strategic manoeuvres have w rested from a superior force all the prin ci p al strongholds of Jctland. Their prowess in this regard has, in some measure, been alone comparable to that ciindad by the brave Hungarians when, retreating slowly step by step to the rallying point of De breczioi they at length responded to the signal of attack by hurriedly driving back the invaders beyond t?v frontiers of their outraged dominion. Acting tpoo dscheme of campaign similar to that adopted by the Magyars, the Danish forces withdrew at first tv . the northern extremity of the peninsula, and then by at sudden and simultaneous , movement southwards cr.mpelled their antagonists to retire with precipita ti(.,n. Once coMmeneed, the retributive vengeance wreaked upon the German armaments has been con uniaterruptedly. Every encounter i;erween I . the belligerents has turned out of I 1 ;; disastrously fur the inkurgents, and ;;;ntor'.oudy foc the Deali3ll SOVEREIGN. rfUSSii, ill feet,. arrd- her , confederates, have become by th e continuance of miylortunes. Each uew reverse has awakened them to ths nr?cesity of a yet more energetic prose cution of the enterprise, and each new trial of strength h3s'only resUlted in some new discomfiture. Having ineffectually expended large sums upon the warfare their losses have only led successively to yet further disbursements. Among the triumphs achieved on behalf of Den mark by her beroiC Soldiers, not. one bas been mote THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1856. the rights and privileges of free citizenship ; the English franchise imperatively demands extension ; the affairs of our Ceylon colony must be adjusted ; railway audits must be placed under proper control; and there is scarcely any department of the law which does not require practical reform. These are the measures to which we would call the attention of the signal than that by which on the 4th instant they re pelled the assailants of Friederichstadt. Our infor mation ensues principally from the Germans them selves, and must consequently be regarded as in no respect marred by exaggeration. Won the dis • patches of General WILLISEIq, the Commander-in- Chief of the army bombarding the city, it woukl appear indeed that the success of the Danes in this last struggle against their antagonists has been as great as it has proved sanguinary. The storming party has been driven back with a loss, according to the lowest estimate of 400, according to the highest of 700, the actual number being most probably inter mediate. From about half-past five o'clock in the evening 'of the 4tb, until midnight, the firing con tinued almost unremittingly—the Germans advancing upon Friederichstadt in three columns, one by the Seeth-marsb, another by the Treene-dyke, and the third by the Eyder•dyke. In each instance the ad vancing battalions were repulsed with slaughter, the insurgent troopers being at length compelled to take up their original position, and leave the city in the possession of its valiant defenders. Taking the report of General WILLISEN to the Staathalterschaft as the text of our observations, the Danes have in every detail of the encounter proved themselves as dauntless as they are actually victorious. Speaking of his own troops, he says, they executed the attack with " distinguished bravery"—consequently the victors must have fought with proportionately yet greater energy. Indeed the German Commander in-Chief acknowledges as much when he observes that ‘‘ the enemy conducted his defence with coolness and determination." Summing up the whole results of this eventful day, General Witesesees says that it " will have no decisive effect on the operations of the war," proving by so many syllables that it already appeared to himself most disastrous. One passage in this report to the Staathalterschaft we cannot but view as. a melancholy token of the ferocity engendered by warfare. We recommend it seriously to the consideration of the Peace Society. It is where the defeated Captain writes, almost as it were incidentally, and with a scarcely suppressed exultation—an exultation but partially concealed by a pretence of commiseration—" Unhappily, it was impossible to avoid setting fire to the place, and a great part of the unfortunate town is destroyed." A similar affectation of sentiment might have been displayed by the burglars at the Frimley vicarage, if they had exclaimed, when escaping from their bootless attempt at robbery—" Unhappily, it was impossible to avoid firing in the confusion, and the unfortunate clergy man, the master of the house, is . destroyed." When it is remembered that the Danes, in defending Friederichstadt, were only defending their inalienable rights, their property, and their independence from the grasp of lawless and pitiless spoliators, it becomes sickening to hear the leader of this army of pil lagers thus commemorating the wanton destruction perpetrated during the bombardment. So important is the new disaster which has just befallen the Schleswig-Holstein armament under the walls of Friederichstadt, even in their own estimation, that their Diet has immediately authorised the Staathalterschaft to increase the number of troops by new enlistments, and has placed an additional sum of 3,292,687 marks at the disposal of the War Department. It becomes manifest, consequently, that the pertinacious course which has been pursued thus obstinately during no less than three years in succession, will be persisted in by the German confederates, unless the great European powers interpose at length to prevent the continuance of such unnecessary carnage. That some such beneficent interference will take place we are sanguine, seeing that the war against Denmark is one so notoriously unjust and execra ble, that its iniquity has been asserted by the Republican rulers of France, by his Majesty the Russian AUTOCRAT, and by the Liberal Government of England, represented in the Foreign Department by Lord PALMERSTON. Surely the atrocity of the at tack must be great indeed, when the criminality of the insurgent Schleswig-Holsteiners combines toge ther in one opinion men of such different sentiments and states of such incongruous characters. It must be borne in recollection, moreover, that the gallant Danes have earned for themselves the sympathy of the European Governments by the loyalty, the valour, and the self-sacrificing enthusiasm with which they have sustained the cause of their SOVEREIGN. Gladly should we learn that the chivalrous defence of Friederichstadt was the last warlike exploit which the soldiers cf Denmark were required to ac complish in vindication of their national independence. Matters might then revert to their original position. Schleswig would still remain, as it has done from thee immemorial, an integral portion of the Danish territory; Holstein would still continue to acknow ledge the King of DEildaßK. as her Ducal Chieftain, while herself remaining at the same time a member of the German Confederation ; and the latsr would then be enabled to dedicate her enormous energies, not to the lawless spoliation of her neighbours, but to the august work of her own social and political re generation. people of England ; they are measures which must receive the attention of the Legislature in the next session of Parliament, and upcn which the public mind should be prepared and instructed. We shall, per haps, refer to them more in detail on some future oc casion. Just now our attention naturally turns to the great difficulty—lreland. England has no doubt many social and political grievances to redress. But it is the unfortunate story of the fair land of Ireland that has ever " blotted the leaves" of British history. The richness of her soil, and the sufferings of her people, have been for ag(s the themes of praise and pity throughout Europe ; while the anomalous state of her social and physical condition has imperilled the fame of every statesman from STRAFFORD to Lord CLARENDON. No doubt the Irish Elective Franchise Bill will make some ad- The happy, careless schoolboy, the careworn, toiling lawyer, alike enjoy their vacations. At those welcome periods books and cares are flung to the winds. The grave, used-up senator, after months of midnight legislation, enjoys his Parliamentary recess; the spruce official of the Treasury enjoys his six weeks' tour ; while the plodding cit tries to forget the schemes and speculations of the counting-house in the peaceful repose of some sea-side villa. There is a season of rest and recreation for all save the hapless editor. Even now, when the romantic hills of Scot land and the rich vallies of merry Englarld re- echo the spirit-stiring sounds of the rifle and the fowling-piece, and while our Hibernian friends are in full chase after the great " sea-serpent" round the coast of the Emerald Isle, alas ! still here we are plying our toil some and eternal task; exercising our ingenuity to eke out of the dull round of passing events some sub ject 15f interest—a matter of no ordinary difficulty even with the moat microscopic eye. The hippototamus has ceased to be a novelty, and even the sea-serpent—that monster myth of our face tious fellow-subjects of the sister isle—is become a thrice-told tale. The grumblings of the Protectionists are drowned in the operations of a fruitful harvest ; the cry for repeal is too faint to be heard beyond the precincts of that little place miscalled CONCILIATION HALL, and the Chartists have ceased to talk of fighting. Indeed, the whole political world is just now as dull and calm as any nervous old lady could desire; yet at no season can the public journalist exercise his high calling with greater efficiency. In the lull of party and of passion he can with greater facility lead the public mind to the calm con sideration of such questions as concern the common weal. In such a season of tranquillity the better feelings have full play, and all are less likely to be affected by sordid and selfish influences than when the angry elements of the political atmosphere are in agitation. Impressed with the importance of the mo ment, we would then call the attention of the people and of the Legislature to those measures of deep import ance likely to come under the consideration of Parlia ment early in the coming session. We very willingly give credit to the Government for having carried many enactments of deep public interest during the last . session; and we have no doubt many other useful measures then before Par liament would also have become law were it not for the ill-timed introduction of the discussion on our foreign policy—a discussion forced on both Houses at an advanced period of the session, in the bitterest spirit of faction, without any other apparent object than the damnification of an able Minister, and the obstruction of the public business. We can look with feelings of gratification to the successful issue of such wholesome and necessary Bilis as that fur Australian self government, the Extramural Interments Bill, the Bill for the regula tion and amendment of our mercantile marine, the issue cf the Royal Commission to inquire' into the :tats cf the UJ niverEitie s. We must also rejoice at the discomfiture of the pha risaical Slbbatarians, yet we cannot shut our eyes to the fact that much has been left undone. No Duet: provision has been made for the general education of the people ; the common air and light of heaven are partially shut out by reason of the window-tax remaining still unrepealed ; the principles of civil and religious liberty cannot be fully recognized or car rie4 out while the Jew remains disqualified to enjoy' TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Committee of Permanence, dissatisfied with the explanations of General D'HAIiTPOTJL regarding the seditious cries raised by the soldiers at the review, and with his refusal to Lisue a general order on the subj:-ct, and distrusting his assurances that measures should be taken to prevent a recurrence of the scandal, deputed three of their members to wait on the PRE SIDENT at the Elysee, to request him to countermand the review fixed for the 10th inst. The PRESIDENT declared that it was impossible to comply with this request, but pledged himself that nothing should occur to occasion the slightest uneasiness. It appears that General D'HAUTPOUL at first treated the interro gations of the Committee with unbecoming levity, and was even so unguarded as to give the following reply to M. Dorm'. interrogatory :-" Similar questions are asked in the Charivari. They are there in their pro• per place, and you ought to leave them there." This answer drew forth a severe rebuke, both from M. ODILLon BARROT and M. DUrIN. The latter said " Monsieur le Ministre—La legeret6 de vos paroles n'est pas faite pour nous rassurer." (The levity of your answer is not calculated to restore our confidtnce). General D'HAUTPOUL then assured the Committee that no seditious cry had been uttered in his presence. The PRESIDENT of the Assembly asked General D'Havreour , if he did not think that the cry of " A has le Prt sident !" was a seditious cry, and whether, in the event of its being uttered by the soldiers, he would not only not tolerate it, but would take the most severe measure to enforce respect for discipline and for the Constitution ? If that was the case—and he could not doubt it—the cry of " Vive l'Empereur" was fully as seditious as that of " A bas le President." The Minister of War replied that he had not beard the cry of " Vive l'Empereur !" that, besides that, he thoroughly disapproved of any such cry, and that he could not imagine that the Committee could suppose that be had authorised any cry of the kind. Addressing himself to General CUANGARNIER, the Minister added — " Let the Commander-in-Chief of the army of Paris be asked the question if he (General CHANoARNiER)gave any such permission or authority?" General CHANGARNIER begged General D'HAUT POUL to observe that, in his quality of Commander in-Chief of the army of Paris, it was not before the Committee of Prorogation that he was bound to give explanations to the Minister of War; and that, in his quality of representative and of member of the Com mittee, the Minister had no right to put any such question to him. General DE L AMORICIERE then addressed the meeting, and demanded of the 'Minister of War what he intended to do as respected the future, and suggested that the Minister of War should issue an order of the day reminding the troops of the ne cessity of respecting discipline, and the law. General D'HAUTPOUL, however, peremptorily refused to issue any order of the day, and contented himself with re newing to the Committee his protestations that he blamed the cry which created so much uneasiness and susceptibility, and he promised that no seditious cla mours should henceforth be uttered by the soldiers, or tolerated by him. The Committee took note of the protestations and promises of the Minister, and recorded them on their dition to the present number of electors, but nothing like a just or fair proportion comparatively with her population and resources, and one totally inadequate to any amended system of constitutional representa tion. The Security for Advances Bill, with some few amendments, we should like to see receive the sanc tion of Parliament, as we think it would eminently tend to secure the efficiency of the Bill for the Sale of Encumbered Estates. Of the Bill for the Sale of Encumbered Estates our opinion has been fully and frequently given to the public. We fully agreed in the wisdom and policy of a measure which we thought calculated to exchange an embarrassed proprietary for a wealthy one by a cheap, simple, and speedy process. We indulged in the sanguine hope that English capital would have flowed into Ireland, but up to this moment we have been unable to discover that any English capitalist has vested a single shilling in any purchase under the provisions of this Bill, and we have seen that sales in several cases could be effected by the entire sacrifice of the interest of both the inheritor and puisne creditor. Upon this subject we have seen a moat startling manifesto from Mr. THOMAS O'BRIEN, late stipendiary magistrate for the North Riding of Tipperary, addressed " to the Tenantry of Fairfield, Kilmore, and Cloyboy." It may be natural that Mr. O'BRIEN should feel sore at the prospect of losing the ancient in heritance of his fathers, but we think he has pursued a very unwise course in issuing to his tenantry this inflammatory and incautious document. If the pro perty of Mr. O'BRIEN be in the market, and must he sold, surely it is most imprudent to stick up thi s scarecrow to frighten away purchasers already to o timid. It is notorious that Englishmen have hitherto refrained from investing money in Ireland from the strong notion that life and property are not suffi ciently secure in that unfortunate country, and we must say that Mr. O'BurEN's appeal to the feudal feelings of his excitable tenantry will not by any means tend to remove this feeling from the minds of cautious Englishmen. , Indeed we will candidly con fess that we should deem him a bold man who would, under the circumstances, bid for Fairfield, and we cannot for the life of us see how this can at all sub serve the interest of either creditor or inheritor. "To await the coming of the stranger at the old gate way during the short days and long nights" is, in deed, but small inducement to the capitalist, and we trust Mr. O'BRIEN will either disavow the document or re-consider his rash resolves. Our space will not permit us to-day to enter into the consideration of the monster grievance of Ireland—that griev ance which nearly absorbs all others in the magnitude of its importance the land ques tion ; for until the relations between land lords and tenants be fully and fairly adjusted, by the interposition of Parliament, there can be no hope ,eace or prosperity in that ill-fated land. minutes. It would seem to be the fate of the severe aspirants to monarchical or quasi-monarchical power in France, to have their respective causes irretrievably damaged by the blunders of their supporters. General D'HAUT.• POUL is the BARTHELEMY of the Bonapartists, and his conduct before the Committee is as damaging to Louis NAPOLEON as was the circular of Wiesbaden to the Comte Ds CHAMBORD. As though to back up the blunders of General D'HAurrouL, we have a re velation made us by the new law of the press, which shows the poverty of the intellectual support at the service of the PRESIDENT. There is a long article in the Pouvoir, full of abuse of the Committee of Permanence, and of . fulsome eulogy of the PRESIDENT. This article, which extends over three columns, is signed GRANTER DE CASSAGNAC ; and in the Constitutionnel we find an article of four co lumns on the same subject, similarly signed. M. GRANTER DE CASSAGNAC Was, it will be recollected, the editor of M. GUIZOT'S journal, the Epoque; and the gentleman at whose house, and with whose pistols the " practice" took place before the fatal duel between DUJARRIER and DE BEAUVALLET ; in connexion with which duel the Viscomte D',ECCIUILLEVY, GRANTER DE CASSAGNAC'S friend, was covnicted of perjury; during the course of whose trial GRANTEE DE CASSAGNAC him self was Beverly reprimanded by the court for at tempting to intimidate the witnesses for the prosecu tion by threats of violence. The advocacy of this gentleman is not calculated to promote the interest of any cause. LOUIS NAPOLEON may with truth exclaim " Save me from my friends." Each day brings forth its press prosecution for a violation of the Tinguy and Laboullie clause; the Univers is to-day to be added to the list of the pro secuted. The whole of the fleet at Cherbourg has sailed for Brest. The ship of the !ine La Ville de Paris was launched at Rochefort on Saturday, with fell success, and with extraordinary pomp. There w ere more than 2,000 people prese.nt. The Nepaulese Ambassador arrived at Marseilles on Saturday last.

THE WRECK OF THE ROYAL GEORGE.—Oa Wed nesday, the 2d of October, died at Woodford, near Berkeley, in the county of Gloucester, Mr. James Ingram, proprietor and landlord of the Fox Inn, in that village. Mr. Ingram was 93 years of age, and was the last survivor of the crew of the Royal George, which sank at Spithead on Aug. 19, 1782. His escape on that memorable occasion was almost mi raculous; he was below at the time the vessel capsized, but was fortunate enough to get out at one of the port-holes. ards th the bottom. life, caught By hold a desperate his foot As he was swimming to the shore one of the persons who was effort o a r t n d he dragged freed on board at the time of the accident, and who, like himself, himw as t struggling ow himself from the deadly grasp, one of his shoes having come in the struggle , and b y t h is means . he was releas n ed e t 9m rom e rel ic to perilous situation ; the other shoe he retained as a to his dying day. Before reaching the shore ha saw a wo man struggling in the water , and being an expert swimmer he brought her safely to land with him. Mr. Ingram had seen a great deal of service, having been at the siege of Gi braltar when it was attacked by the combined fleets of France and Spain, and also in many naval actions. His sight and health were remarkably good up to within a short time of his death. Deceased was well known to travellers on the old coach road from Gloucester to Bristol, as the coachmen used frequently to pull up to allow their passengers to see a veteran whose life had been marked by so miraculous an incident. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The steam-ship Diana, arrived from Harlingen, has brought 283 pigs as a part of her cargo, which is the largest importation of this description of live stock that has taken place from the continental state of Eu rope on one occasion, in addition to 116 beasts, 89 calves, 850 sheep, and general provisions, altogether a very large cargo of Dutch produce; and the steam-ship Tiger, just arrived also, from Tmaningen, has brought the extraordinary large number of 235 head of oxen and cows, and also 20 sheep, the produce of Denmark. LORD BROUGHAM AND THE SOLWAY ACT.—PEN EITH, TU%SD.AT, OCT. 8.- The illegal netting transaction which took place on the I.6th'ult:, at Nine Kirk Holme, in the river Lamont, and which created so much interest and excitement, was this day brought to a final termination, so far as the magistrates are concerned. It will be remem bered that on the investigation of the affair at the Petty Ses• sions held at Penrith on the 24th ult. five informations - t others under different Acts of Parliament) under (amongst against Lord Brun ham's the Solway Act were preferred g Party for using a n ille g al net in the river Egmont, and that .one of them, according to an arrangement between the par ties,was only invest i g ated, and that the magistrates took tini to consider the evidence and to give their dveredecision, which, befote a full bench of magistrates, was deli by the Rev. W. H. Milner, vicar of Penrith, at great length. The result was that Armstrong, one of Lord Brougham's party, was fined LI. ander the Solway Act. CAUTION TO STEAM-BoAT PASSENGERS...n-00 Tuesday evening Mrs. Anne Coleman, of :-)0, Queen-street, Horselydown, Southwark, was landing at the London-bridge Steam-packet Wharf from a steamer, who h n in er anxiety i to get ashore before the vessel was pr erly secured, she ' slipped overboard between th© vessel and dummy, and owing to the darkness sunk and was drowned. She has lett a numerous family to regret her untimely end. • CAUTION TO-THE PUBLIC.—On Tuesday evening, as early as a quarter-past nine o' Cock, a middle-aged gen tleman, in passing through Great George-street, West- Juins.ter, was hustled by a part% of men and a w omen, in ap pearaece a servant-girl. The woman pretended to be an noyed at the lade joke of being;thrust against the gentle man. He was thrown to the ground, and in falling thought he observed the party making off in different directions. As soon as he recovered his feet he found one of his hands and one leg above the knee were considerably bruised, and, on lookirg for his purse, that it was still in his packet, but that lii3lvatcl , , an antique repeating one, and a small dark cor li Dr an geld seal, attached by a ribbon to it, were gone. From the indistinctness of his recollection allow long he was .upon the ground, though probably ( nlv part of a minute, it is supposed that chloroform or some similarly deleterious agent was used in aid of the dexterous hand that stole the watch. GREENLAND FISHERY.—The Eclipse arrived at Peterhead on Saturday, being the last of the Buchan fleet from Greenland. The Eclipse has 10 whales, 95-tuns of oil, and a trifling number of seals. The Greenland fishing has been very successful this season, and the consequence is,, that a decided impetus has been, given to the trade, no fewer than four new vessels being added to'the fleet for the coming , year. , • DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Cologne Gazette states the loss of the Schles wig Holstein army, in the late unsuccessful attack upon Friederckstadt, to have been at least 500 men. Up to the 7th there had been brought into the hos pitals cf Altona 161 wounded. The 6th battalion penetrated into the town, and reached the Block house, from whence it was driven back with terrific loss. The Schleswig-Holstein army occupied its old position on the 7th, but it was supposed they would withdraw, as they cannot complete the investment of the place so as to cut off its communication with the main body of the Danish army. HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE STATES-GENERAL. The opening of the Assembly of the States-Gene ral of Holland took place at the Hague on the 7th instant. His MAJESTY pronounced the following speech : " I am happy to behold myself once more surrounded by the elect of the people. Our relations with foreign Powers continue on a friendly footing. " In the difficulties which have arisen in Germany, as regards Limburg, we follow the steps indicateu by treaties and the interests of the Netherlands. " Our foreign trade is prosperous. The recent changes in our navigation laws will, we flatter ourselves, serve not only to increase our own energies, but they will strengthen the bonds of good will and fruitful relations with other Powers. Th'e Republic of Venezuela, conformable to the commercial policy recently adopted by that State, has _denounced the treaties of commerce and navigation with the Netherlands. The Government endeavours to ob- viate any prejudice that might arise from that measure to our commerce. Meantime, that Republic has satis- fled the claims and complaints addressjd to it by us on other causes. " The army and navy honourably fulfil their duties. " A law on the salaries and pensions, advancement, and retirement of military officers, will be submmitted to you. " Suitable reductions in the naval administrations and establishments will provide means for increasing our naval force next .year without additional outlay. " Preparatory measures, which promise good results, have been adopted for the formation of a better system of national defence; that question has been the object of my solicitude for some time. "The state of our colonial possessions is satisfactory. Projects of law for the regulation of our colonial inte rests will be presented during the session, according to the fundamental law. . . " The position of affairs at home is of a nature to in spire us with courage and satisfaction. " A reduction in the price of many of the principal articles of food, in consequence of the abundant harvest of last year, has greatly contributed to the relief of the poorer classes. " Some districts have suffered considerably from storms and inundations during the winter of last year. These disasters, which, thanks to Providence, spared other districts which were threatened, brought forward public benevolence in its brightest aspect. This assist ance, which I invoked, gave relief wherever relief was wanted, and those untortunates who could not help themselves were indemnified for their losses as much as possible. " If, according to anticipatory reports, the harvest this year is only a middling one, other symptoms of a more stable nature present themselves. " The cultivation of waste land continues uninter rupted; agriculture, generally speaking, is making pro gress scientifically and in production; development is visible in our trades and manufactures; many branches are in a flourishing condition; the means of communi cation by land and by water are constantly increased, and favour the growing activity of our internal com merce. " I am seriously occupied with plans for facilitating our communications with neighbouring states by the ap plication of the invention of modern science (railways). I shall ask your aid for this purpose during the present session. " The state of our rivers demand precautionary mea sures and suitable improvements. In the budget which will be shortly presented to you this question will be especially recommended to your particular attention. " Bills are ready on the communal law, on the poor• laws, and expropriation, on the grounds of public uti lity. These Bills will be presented to you wit hout dela y , as also Bills on the right of meeting and association, on Ministerial responsibility, and the new judicial orga nization. " The new provincial representation which has as sembled in all the provinces has zealously commenced the important task entrusted to it. " The situation of our finances is satisfactory. Nearly all the sources of the revenue of the kingdom respond largely to the provisions. This circumstance, added to the results of an economical administration, holds out the prospect, unless unforeseen events should occur, that the excess of the budget will amply cover the remainder of the deficit of a previous year. " Bills will be presented to you for a reform in the system of taxes, and of the execution of Articles 122 and 176 of the fundamental law. " I confidently hope that, in the examination of all thee important questions, you will give proofs of that spirit of union which, with the blessing of Providence, will enable us to accomplish what the country expects from us." On leaving the Assembly the ICING was loudly cheered. Consols ... Ditto Account BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 8 per Cent. Consols Anns 96%g, India Stock Do.

Half Shares of a law passed July 18. Londonderry and Enniskillen 25 — A very curious development of the principle of Do.,Half Shares assurance is contemplated at present, upon the basis of a plan tried with great success in France, being the guaranteeing of debts, or assurances against failures, and which is represented as having rendered the greatest possible benefits to trade through an un paralleled period of commercial calamity. The precise objects are explained in the following supposed case:— " A creditor under ordinary circumstances may be seriously embarrassed by the failure of a debtor, say to the extent of cue thousand pounds. If covered to a certain extent by a policy (the premium en which may be paid in the first instance by the creditor for the sake of convenience, and charged by him to the account of the debtor), the creditor re ceives the insured proportion of his debt from the company at the period stipulated in the policy, and gives, in exchange, an assignment of his claim on the estate of the debtor, with the option of selling to the company the dividend on the remaining portion of the account, which be had taken at his own risk ; for instance, a debtor failirg to a creditor for 1,0001., and his estate being safely estimated to produce ss. in the pound—assuming two-thirds of the amount to have been covered by guarantee—the creditor would receive 750/., being the amount insured, in addi tion to the dividendeon his own uncovered portion of the liability. The following results ensue : The widening circle of alarm and actual commer cial distress usually caused by re-action, receives at this early 'stage a timely and effectual check. The embarrassment of the insured creditor being prevented, his means and credit are maintained—a sacrifice of his property is avoided—his operatives are continued in employment, and his creditors receive protection by vir tue of his own insurance, whilst the essential moral restraint on the part of the insurer is still pre served, so as to secure protection to the interests of the company. The necessary caution on the part of the company will be found to act beneficially to the in terests both on the part of the insurers and the insured. If a failure has resulted from an avoidable misfortune, the company will guarantee a resonable offer of compo sition, for the purpose of winding up the estate in this form ; but not for the purpose of carrying on the trade. The insolvent is spared the alter native of application to private friends for suretyship, and the creditors receive a speedier and larger dividend under composition than under bankruptcy. If gross fraud has been committed,.the special clauses of the Bankrupt Act are enforced, not by the obnoxious opposition of a private individual, but by the judicious interference of a public company. A creditor may hold no policy, and his debtor may become insolvent. The estate may be administered under assignment, com position, inspection, bankruptcy, or insolvency. The company would purchase the reversion of the dividend, assist the creditor in proof of debt, and take an assign ment of the future dividend." The East India and China Association have made up their statement of the number of British ships entered inwards and cleared outwards from and to places within the limits of the East India Company's charter, from the Ist January to the 30th September, 1849 and 1850, end this shows an increase of 25,352 tons inwards, and 45,639 tons outwards.

The Gazzetta del Popolo of Turin, of the 4th, an nounces that the judicial authorities, have determined to proceed against a priest, named RUMIANO, curate of Villar-Alinese, by appeal for abuse (the same plea on which Munsignor FxAxzoNl has been exiled), for having refused the sacraments to Sig. GIUSEPPE DARIO, the tax-collector of that parish, for having contributed to the subscription for the monument to be raised in honour of the Siccardi law. Some time ago the Opinione, of Turin, mentioned an attempt of Monsignor CONTRATO, Bishop of Acqui, to punish a priest for having adhered to the Siccardi law. The facts of the case are as follows :—Advocate Caaaozzr, a priest, one of the Syndics of the Com mune of Cassins, and Director of Public Instruction, had subscribed to the monument for the Siccardi law, and invited the municipality, of which he is president, to do the same. On hearin g this, the Bishop of ACQUI summoned him to make a public recantation by declaring his conviction that his adhesion to the Siccardi law was contrary to the laws of the Church. Sig. CAIZUOZZI demurred, upon which the Bishop wrote to him, enjoining him to have the required protest inserted in the Gazzetta del Popolo,withiu five days, on pain of s uspension a divinis. Instead of complying with thi s injunction, Sig. CAR- Eozzr had now appealed to the laws of the country against it, and we learn from the Op i nione, of the 4ch, that the Advocate-General of the Magistrate of Appeal of Monferrato has declared his intention of taking into serious consideration the case presented by Sig. CARROZZI. The position of Monsignor CON‘- TRATTO is further aggravated by the circumstance of his having intimated to another priest , Don AIOR BELL I, who is not in the habit ot saying mass, and who therefore would be little moved by a suspension a divinis, that he (the Bishop) would refuse him the Sacraments in case of an illness befalling him, because he, too, had subscribed to the Siccardi monument. The Opinione mentions several other similar cases that have occurred in the diocese of Fossano, Novaro, and Genoa. LORD COCKRURN.—We are happy to learn that the latest aceounts of his Lordship's health are favourable, his recovery being gradual, though necessarily tedious. We learn that his Lordship is expected to be able to undertake the journey homewards from Dumfries to-day or to morrow. HEALTH OF THE LORD ADVOCATE.—We under stand that while there is not much apparent improvement in his Lordship's health, he has been no worse during the last few days. Monday's account represented his Lordship as no better. .• ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.—A quarterly meeting of the governors of the Royal Free Hospital was held yesterday in the board-room of the institution (Captain Roxburgh in the chair), when the report from the weekly board stated that 6,1i91 patients had been under treatment during the last quarter—that the expenditure had exceeded the income by 2271., but that the committee felt the strongest hope that, through the benevolence of the public, there would be no necessity for diminishing their sphere of usefulness. ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—The usual monthly meeting of this society was held on Monday evening, Mr. G. R. Waterhouse, president, in the chair. Mr. Guyon and Mr. Potter were elected subscribers to the society. Mr. S. Stevens exhibited some beautiful new Lepidoptera he had received from Mr. Bates, from Ega, on the Upper Amazons ; Mr. Shepherd exhibited specimens of Aphomia.nuella, from Dover; Mr. Bond exhibited an Hermaphrodite, Arctia Caja, and a curious variety of Sphinx, Ligustri ; Mr. Westwood exhibited a Coccinella Septem-punctata, and a Lepidopterous larva impaled on the thorns of furze bushes; these had been found in Scotland by Mr. Gould, and'in this case they could not have been so impaled by shrikes, as those birds are not known to occur so far north. An extremely interesting paper by Mr. Newman, on the various ways different species of bees have of abstracting honey from snap-dragons, was then read. FATAL ACCIDENT.—WOOLWICH OCT. 9.--Abou half-past twelve o'clock yesterday a boat belonging to the Dolphin revenue cutter, containing five men, one a custom house officer and five rowers, when leaving a brig they had boarded off Woolwich Dockyard, cast off at the moment the Sylph, Woolwich Company's steam-packet, was approaching, and before the boat could get out of the way and the steamer eased, it was cut in two, and the whole of the men went under the wheel of the steamer. Four of the men were saved with the assistance of the boat belonging to her Ma jesty's dockyard lighter the Ann, and taken on board the Lightning steam-vessel. One of the men, named Manning, was drowned, and another severely hurt. There is no blame whatever attached to the Sylph, as her captain and crew did all in their power, under the circumstances, to avert the melancholy ~ .coident. The drowned man has left a wife and three children to lament his loss, and the body has not yet bie:i found. THE FILIMLEY MURDER.—We have been informed that in the chain of evidence accumulating sgaimt the parties in custody for this atrocious crime. not the least important will be the incident that a token , which might be mistaken for a penny, has been found on one of them, and can be iden tified by Mrs. Holiest as having been given to her the day before by the village schoolmistress. COLOSSEUM.—The Panorama of Paris, which has been so attractive, is about shortly to be removed, to be re placed by another picture by Hanson and Sons, and which is NOW in a state of great forwardness. We would, therefore, strongly recommend a visit to this extraordinary work of arc before ita anal ieplinal• , _ SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. It is said to be the intention of the Government to modify the tariff in a free-trade sense. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 4.—Three per Cents., 344 ; .Five per Cents., 13i money. Exchange on London, 50 30 money. GERMANY. Accounts from Cassel of the 6th state that Genera vriwA when e and n the his ei v il authorities assistant, Awy Nai tid on BhAi have been placed under arrest. H Au was quite Vox astonished lI A : E tc: arrest him on the decree issued by the Civil Court, and called on his troops to arrest them, but they re spectfully replied that they dared not violate the law, and intimated that unless the ELECTOR returned to a legal course of proceeding they would lay down their arms. The superior tribunal has ordered that the per sons arrested by HATNAU are to be set at liberty, as the arrest of civilians by military authority is illegal, and the e ditors of the journals have conse quently been released, and have resumed their occu pations. The following is the Speech addressed to the Wurtemburg Chambers by the Minister of the In terior, on opening the session on the 4th inst : _ The NV urtemherg " Gentlemen , nation has been 'me called for the third t ime, t) send its representatives for _the purpose of assisting io revise the constitution of this state. This summons has proceeded froth the sincerest desire to establish a national edifice by way of concord ance of the King and people, which shall stand for centuries the pride of future generations. The Govern ment has conscientiously considered what it can contri bute towards the completion of this work. It 'has spoken out without reserve in the project of law which is ready to be laid before you. The Government ven tures to hope that the representatives of the nation will see in that Bill, a nd in the state of the nation, abundant reasons for abstaining from wishes and endeavours to which the Governaient is unable - to give effect. On your resolutions, Gentlemen, it depends whether the country shall soon return to that state of solidity which all so much d es i r e. The Government believes that it nas done all that it can for do that purpose. The Govern merit will consent w i t h the g reatest• satisfaction to con sider with the Ch am b e r in a ddi t ion to this important and principal work, speci a l l aw s for meeti n g t he wishes of the nation in respect of particular subjects the conscri of state co - nomy, such as th e regulation of trade, Livepnd the rmation of rail system, the postal regu lations , th ways conn ec ti ng t hi s with o er a states fo . in looking ;to the relation o f thi s to ot her states, the Government have to deplore that the federal constitution has not yet been revised in a manner corresponding to the wants and it laments this so much wishes of the German people; the more as it sees the material welfare of this and neighbouring stat es imperilled, an d the progress of its tional works impeded by the unsettled state of that . great a ny other the peace, q uestion which concerns more that; the honour, and the integrity o f Germa as ny. The Go vernrnent has omit te d not hicg which it h been able to regard as calculated to lead to this end. T " moat opponent step it h as t a ken was not tin act of arbi trary judgment, but the necessary result of (X -isting leg a l re l at i ons, and coul d not have been omitted without a neglect of duty. The Govern ment has at th e same t i me , by this proceeding, - sated the rule it will follow in all future transactions; but while perseverin g in a legal course , and holdin g to the treaties, out if which the relations of the German caws to each other arise, the Government repeats what it has already expressed in the most solemn manner; .t will make its legal position at the same time the starting point of an earnest endeavour to bring about the establishment of a faleral constitution corresped ,og to th e nat i onal wants o f G erma n ' This aim. Ge G er many n ,leasen, will b.! more easy cf attainm ent if the Pattie inpnts of irdividUal states will lend their assistance to their own Governments, to carry out all that recom mends itself by pratica bility. Th e Government has confidence in the sound sense and patriotism of the re presentatives of th e na ti on , that they w ill not render the establishment of a constitution by way of concurrent deliberation between the King and peOple a h o p eless im possibility, b ut t h at t h e i r tas k will be discharged in a manner that will call down the blessing Of heaven upon the land. In this expectation, with the heartiest wishes for its fulfilment,l declare this extraordinary National Assembly hereby opened." - ISIINEB. Anglo Mexican lOO ...... .. ••••• to ...
