This bankrupt,;:ho it an attorney, and was connected with the Parcels Putt Delivery Company as a diiector, was made bankrupt at a carrier, Fleet-street, bet a short time since his Hon Aour granted a conditional order for annulling the fiat, bait it was left for confirmation by the Lord Chancellor. . . Mr. Frreff, the solicitor for the bankrupt, now pro duced a letter from Mr. Vizard, the s( cretary' to the Lord Chancellur, rt: sting that his L-_rdship did not cog- Bider his confirmation necessary. -A discussion betzween Mr. Linklater and Mr. Fitch took place on this point, Mr. Linklater contending that the power of the CI ernmissioner only applied to petitions under the new Act, and that as the Court of Review, which derived its power from the Lord Chancellor, had been abolished the l )ower rested in the Lord Chancellor. His HONOUR said, that in the first instance he had felt a delicacy in interre ring with an order mario by such a high power as the Lord Chancellor, by whom the fiat was directed to issue r, but as there w, - •S DOW no Court of Review, and by the aew Act this Court was directed to proceed with and br lig to a conclusion all fiats in bank ruptcy, he considers d he had the power to annul. An unconditional order was then made. IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO COSTS. In a case on a del:, tor tracer's ewe:nuns a questioe arose as to whether. a plaintiff residing abroad was bound to give security for costs before the defendant could be called up!' to answer the summons as to whether he was indented or not. For the defendant it was contended that the process of the court would be rendered most harrassing 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 argum mats, his Honour said that although the Act only gave h im direct power to give costs for cr 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 prirci ple of requiring cost te, he should do so in this case. The FUMMODS was , therefore dismissed nominally with costs, the plaintiff's e ttorney having declined to make himself personally r3sponsible. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. ('THIS DAY.) The November GLanersl bessions for the county of Middlesex commence a this morning before Mr. WITHAM. The calendar contains the names of 53 prisoners. John Bryant was indicted for stealing, on the 23i of October, 56 bobbins loci 35 skeins of bilk, the property of Mrs. Ann Arthur. Mr. O'BRIEN, who. appeared for the defence, raised an objection to the c sae proceeding. In the indictment the prosecutrix's net a was put down as " Antha," not Arthur. The Learned JUDG;E told the jury to acquit the pri soner, the name in tb; - 3 indictment being wrong. Tnr., APPEALS Clerk of the Peace read a note this morning, stating that owing to the continued illness of Mr. Sergeant Adslits the appeals which were set down for hearing en Thure day next must be further adjourned for a foralight, 'when, it was thought. that he would be able to resume his du:ties in court. GUILDHALL -(THIS DAY.) Jokn Coains was is rought up, charged with cutting and wounding James. Clift with a knife. It appeared that th,e prisoner applied to the East Lon don Union Workhou: at yesterday evening and demanded relief, and he at last became so troublesome that Clift, who is the porter of t t.o establishment, was obliged to remove him, when th E prisoner drew a clasp knife from his pocket and inflictud on him two severe wounds on the cheat, and one oe the fleshy part of the hand. Mr. Harry Willis!: a Loft, surgeon, of Alderagate street, who dressed the wounds, attended to-day, and stated that it was impossible for the present to say what might be the result of the wounds, which were very severe. The prisoner was therefore remanded till Tuesday next. MARLBRO'-S TREET-( THIS DAY.) - - - ROBBING FURNISBXD LODGlNGS.—lienry Hurt, alias Lee, and Sarah Cooper, were brought up in custody of Stringer, en active officer of the C division, charged with robbing their rc tidy-furnished lodgings. Mrs. Holt, 18, Whitcomb-street, deposed that the pri soners took furnished' apartments iu her house, in the early part of Septembt , r last, stating to her at the time that they had been mcently married. On the 25th of the same month they both suddenly disappeared, and on her entering the wools a short time afterwards, she found the walls stripped of the pictures, the 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 an envelope. Prosecutrix added that the articles missed were worth about 101. Stringer stated, that from information he had pr viomly received, he went into Orange-street, Leicester. square, and saw the female prisoner near the baths and washhouses. He told her the nature of the charge, and took her into custody. He subsequently went to Fleet street and apprehended the prisoner Hart. The prisoners, who did not deny the charge, were re manded till Thursday next, for tho attendance of the pawnbrokers. CA NZONET. (From the New Monthly Magazine.)

THE. ALLEGED WRECKERS. LOWESTOFT, 1110NDAY AFTER] 300 N.—This being the day appointed for the heerf.ng of the charges against-the boatmen of this coas'e for impeding the rescue of the Leman, Captain Peety, from Archangel for London, from off the Newcc rnbe Sands, and ne saulting the crew of the Low estoft, steamer which had put off to her assistance, tl le Assembly-room of the Queen's Head, where the magistrates pursued the investigation, was densely crowded by merchants, mariners, and others of this port. The following 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 ia getting the vessel off. The Lowest oft steam-tug then came off, and eventually she was engeged by the master, Mr. Petty, to assist in getting the brig off for fifty pounds. By this period owner boats had come off, and their services being positively refused, they became indignant at the course punned by the harbour authorities in sending out the tug.. The defendants, it would appear, waited upon the deputy harbour master, and desired 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 cf their :mouth, that some body had better be sent out to read the Riot Act, for that they (the wreckers) in tended to muster. Other bottle., (in all six) came near the brig, and on the tug endeavouring to tow the 'erig 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 este ne, which rendered him insensible ; he was taken as'aore apparently fur dead, and now continues ill. The deck of the steamer was strewed with stones, which the men had brought offpurposely forthe 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 service?, but were as positively declined, wheat 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 Ray. Mr. Love), after consult ing with the bench, expressed his regret at the occur rence. Had the injuries to the captain of the steamer terminated fatally, they might have all been placed in a very serious position. The Beneh 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 all 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 I'eter Laurie supported the motion, as the address was to go to the Queen, but em phatically declared that he would be ro 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.

OLYMPIC THEATRE After an absence of three years, Miss Helen Faucit made her rentree on the London stage, et this theatre, last evening, in a new tragedy, from the pen of Mr. Westland Marston, entitled PhLip 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, while as a five act play it occasionally drags, fine acting of Mr. G. V. notwithstanding the very Brooke and of Miss Helen ranch in the principal characters, and the vary beautiful poetry of Mr. Marston. Bap Augustus of France (Mr. G. V. Brooke) has been compelled to marry ingerburge, the daughter of the King of Denmark ; for her Pnilip has always entertained an unconquerdble aversion; but he loves Marie de i\leranie (Miss llelen 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 Philip ; 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 rapturous 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 at 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 w hi c h Ingerburge is restored to her "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 hastily enters, and she eagerly exclaims— Philip —my lord !-Isai, soy, May I embrace thee—may I call thee mine— _ . _ Am I thy wi , e ? PHILIP. Yes; in the sight of heaven. MARIE. And not of earth? A doom told in a breath-- Brief, but so cold that it bath froz3 the fount Whence sorrow gushes ! The King tries to persuade her, that though Inger burge is now queen, they shall not part. She asks— Eow is 't _ I can be thine, and Ingcrburee thy wife? PHILIP (after a pause). She is but so in name ; thou wilt retain The empire of my heart. MARIE. Its ! how the light— The livid light I could not see befwe Bursts en my sight, and whereson'er I turn, The lurid horror glares. No, it is night It seems a year since morn, so must be night. Although I ace—l shall not &itch thy hand. (Takes his hand as if to assure herself) It is reality I—And yet—forgive mel A subtle tempter through my o'erwrought brain Would stab my trust in thee. He shall not love! Even now I'm calmer.—Pray, repeat the words— The words you spake but now. • PHILIP. I said, my love, Though Ingerburge might bear the name of Qoecn, Thou only should'st rule Philip— MARIE. Pause awhile. Though Ingerburge might bear the name of Queen I only should rule Philip—(Signs to hint to proceed.) PHILIP. Thou should'at be•—(Kesitating and averting his head). MARIE. HIS PARAMOUR !—Oh God, although his voice Was shamed from speech, this is the thing he means ! (She turns from him) This scene was magnificently seed 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 broken 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 tied. 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, replete with feminine purity. Mr. G. V. Brooke, as the King, was most effective. When seated his throne, hurling defiance at Rome, his acting was full of majesty and power, while, in the more tender scenes with Marie, he infused into his representation a most touching pathos. Both he and Miss Helen Faucit were called for at the conclusion, and there were loud calls for the author, who bowed his acknowledgments from a private box. The mise en scene of the tragedy is superb. The house was crammed to suffocation long before the rising of the curtain, every portion of the theatre from which it was possible to get a glimpse of the stage was oc cupied. ROMANCE OF THE; HAREM.

Sir,—Let me then examine, by this test the expe diency of adopting a judicious system or trausporta non, or of abolishing it and establishing in its stead the best penitentiary plan which has been or can be (levised; and I will do this truthfully, tcking every thing i❑ favour of the prisoner released from the penitentiary, which its warmest advocates would Suppose one coming from the prison, sincerely convinced of the wickedness and the folly of a crimi nal career, who had spent the period of his confine ment in the moat exemplary manner, and had received certificates of userit from every official; he had been brought no as a butler, and his crime was stealing his master's plate. 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 having 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 he setting society a good example by em ploying a reclaimed convict, that you propose giving him the situation, and trusting to him that which you value beyond price, your ancestral plate. Ii you were to appoint him, would you have done your duty. I say, No. The appointment of a re claimed convict, in a country thickly peopled, anxious to obtain employment, deprives an honest, nun of the jest 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 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 for his goods as yon have for your plate, and will prefer trusting them to one who has not been convicted of crime. Yes, and such ought to he 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 lie 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; and 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 desire his services at much higher wages than if he had been sent from a penitentiary at home, with hundreds besides, all duly supplied with proper certificates; for in a colony the respective position of the employer and the em ployed is exactly the reverse of what it i 3 at home. Hare it is the party who desires employment who is compelled to seek it, often with wearied footsteps, of:en unsuccessfully; there it is the employer who has to make an anxious and careful search after, not the most eligible, but the least unworthy of those who desire to be employed. It now, Sir George Grey, will remain w4h your self and the public to judge whether the facts to which I have drawn your attention, and the observa tions I have made, 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 offsnce. 2. That such punishment would be a great preven tive against crime. 3. 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 efEcts 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 under the cognizance 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. " Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate" should never be inscribed over the doors of any prison, even for the most wicked, for among these there are de grees of guilt, and of character, known only to the Almighty. If it be wisdom to build a bridge of gold for a flying enemy, it is no less so to hold out hopes of an amelioration of circumstances to the most ob durate, provided they change their course. 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, but by indul 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 foundation fur future communities," is undoubtedly true when ap plied to the system we have adopted, 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 required 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 be removed from the re 'untied convict the numerous temptations at present thrown in his way. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your very obedient and faithful servant, RIGBY WASON. Corwar, Oct. 26, 1850. AMERICAN NEWS. The accounts from New York this week describe the money market as again easier, the rate upon the best securities being .5 per cent. The general signs also of confidence and activity were undiminished, while as regards the cotton crop there were improved prospects, owing to a continuance of propitious weather. From California the dates are to the 15th of September, being fourteen days later, and the further arrival at New York and New Orleans of gold-dust amounting altogether to about 500,0001., 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 wet MOOD. A run had occurred upon the banking-houses at San Francisco, which had grown int o a p anic, and has caused the stoppage of four firms, their names being Henry M.

Other houses were run upon—some to a considerable amount, but they Lad stood their ground, and at the departure of the steamer the rush was subsiding.

H e posted up a notice that he would keep open to accom modate the public until six o'clock (an hour l a t er than usual), and also that his bank would be open on Sunday." From the picture given of the cro w d s th a t besieged the vario us establishinants, and which are said to have res embled the gatherings at th e Post office after the arrival of a steamer, it may be consi dered creditable to the general management of these firms that the failures were so few.

XX[. The Court holding a first or recond answer to be insufficient may appoint the time within which a defendant, who is not in contempt, is to file a further answer. XXII. Upon a third answer being held to be insuf ficent the Court may order the defendant to be examined upon interrogatories to the points held to be insufficient and to stand committed until he shall have perfectly answered the interrogatories; and the defendant is to pay such costs as the Court shall think fit to award.

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 occupied 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, passion 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 and 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 ritlud on the throw of a dio a war the first flash of which would have extended from Tileit to Aix-ia- Chapelle, and from the Baltic to the Adriatic S-a ?Ia what state are the Powers that, wearied yet exaspe rated, exhausted yet irreconcilable, would have becn compelled to invoke the dangerous interventions of Russia and France, and would have seen their roads once wort :traversed by the alternate streams of Republicans and Cassacks ? 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 sity. So far as regards mere revenue and expendi ture, under existing conditions, Prussia has somethiog to boast of. Her budget for 1849 was about l=l,ooo 0001., of which the rnoderae sum of 750,000/. was all that was rEquired fur the in terest of the national debt, then estimated at 18,500,0001. For thirty years her debt has been in process of reduction, and 375,000/. is yearly appro priated to a sinking fund foie this purpose. Her army is estimated to cost no more than 3,100,000/. for the current year, being less than a quarter of the revenue. The sum of 2,000,0001. was added to the debt in 184 S, and a new loan of 3,000,0001. 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 55,000,000/., 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 netions of the earth before the twelve month was out, and that any new war would be bailed wi' h cheers on the Stock-Exchange, as happened once before in the days of our political innocence. But these finances, which we are compelled to take on trust, and which are enveloped, even in the best in formed circles of Prussia, with a certain inscrutable mystery, must be submitted to a little analysis, and also be compared with the political and geographical circumstances of Prussia. If out of 14,000,0001. only 3,100,0001. be required for the army, and only 1,125 0001. can he spared for the interest and re demption of the deb', what becomes of the remaining 9,775,000/. ? It is evident that the income must de vour itself before it reaches the Exchequer. The Crown lands, like our own, must cost as much as they yield, and the taxes must be absorbed by the collector. The figures admit of no other hypothesis, for the civil administration of the empire, exclusive of tax-gatherers, cannot honestly account for a moiety of this mysterious balance. But a war, it is evident, would make the direst havoc with the Prussian resources. Sbe is all frontier, all rampart, ail river, all road, open at every pore, with infiaite breaches to defend against hostile attack and internal dilepidation. 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 disappear. Her expenditure would he substantial and her revenue on paper. Her army of 220,000 men, supposing only the younger section of the Lanclwehr to be called out, would certainly cost, while in active service, as much as 10,000,000/., 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 Franca nobly unambitious. We have set nothing down to the ac count of Schleswig-Holstein, and 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 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 cf 22,500,0001, which the State owes to the Bank; and the paper money in circulation amounts to 34,500,0001., against bullion to the amount of 3,000,0001., leaving 31,500,0001. of paper unprotected. Such a protec tion is, of course, none at all ; and Austrian paper in a year of "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 16,000,000/. 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 durint; 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 21,000,0001. the income in 1i49 was not more than 9,330,000/. a year, the revenue being thus not half suflicent 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 ebe may cherish the hope of quartering it upon Federal Germany. She may catch at that straw. An active pre sidency in the affairs of the Federation may resuscitate that unity which has recently received such terrible shocks on both the Danube and the Po. Foreign war is a very old specific for dissensions at borne. These, however, are but dangerous expedients. The surest results of a war is its cost, and should Austria be once fairly embarked in a struggle for the German supremacy with her formidable rival, she must soon be reduced either to another bankruptcy or to still more dishonourable and ruinous expedients. In the face of history, we cannot indulge the hope that the prospect of insolvency will ever make Austria wise. fler 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 either receive if they are both ruined in the attempt.— Times. Socummaassi.—An extraordinary and distress ing occurrence took place on Sunday morning at the house of Dr. Eccles, in Newhall-street, Birmingham. It appears that Mr. Blurton, brother of Mrs. Eccles, has been 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 fail, b t be neverthe less came with fearful violence against the spiked railing is front of the house, and 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 a most 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. LAMENT4DLE ACCIDENT .SND LOSS OF LIFE.--A dreadful accident occurred on Wednesday last at the Fron goch lead mines. near Aberystwith, the property of the Larl 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, and 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 are hourly expected. Inquests upon the three unfortunate sufferers were held on Thursday, and verdicts in accordance with the evidence returned. In each case the roor men have left wives and children to lament their ultimate loss. To some men it is indispensable to be worth rnanny, for without it they would be worth nothi:g. —Eliza Coulet Journal.
