FERDINAND would then find that he can no more hope to compete with NAPOLEON in capturing Rome and incarcerating the PONTIFF, than the hair-brained nephew of that great Emperor could vie with his return from Elba by cracking a few pistols in the streets of Boulogne. A week has passed since the verdict of a jury stamped Lieutenant MUNRO with the crime of wilful murder, and that unfortunate gentleman is still the inmate of a condemned cell, and subjected to all the privations incidental thereto. No option, in such a case, is afforded to the authorities of the prison certain regulations are laid down which must be; strictly adhered to. Indeed, no additional comforts, not rendered necessary by the health of the party, could be allowed save on the authority of the Secre tary of State for the Home Department, and the gallant and chivalrous soldier—the man who by his own irreproachable conduct elevated himself from the station of a private to a commission in one of our most distinguished regiments—who so deservedly obtained the respect and esteem of his brother officers and of the soldiers placed under his command—is restricted to the same diet and allowances that would be given to the most degraded and in famous malefactor. It is perfectly impossible that the sentence could be carried into execution ; indeed, the presiding judge, although deprived of all discretion as to the nature and extent of the punishment he was by law compelled to award, expressly stated that it should not be carried into effect, although it was for other parties to decide to what extent it should be mitigated. Sorely, under such circumstances, it is desirable that no time should be lost in deciding the question, and relieving his mind from the painful and harassing suspense to which it has been exposed. There cannot, we should hope, be any necessity for much consideration in apportioning the punishment to be inflicted. The public are unanimous on that point ; it is generally felt that Lieutenant Muluao has already bitterly expiated his crime—a crime into which he was forced by unfortunate circumstances. The usages of society, and more particularly of that branch to which he belonged, placed him in a dilemma from which he could not extricate himself without either violating the laws of his country, or forfeiting the position he had attained for himself, and being looked upon by his friends and brother officers as a disgraced and degraded man, with whom it would be impossible longer to associate on terms of friendship or equality. The strongest opponent of duelling, the most zealous advocate for its total abolition, we will venture to say, would feel rejoiced that her MAJESTY should exercise her royal prerogative to the fullest extent, and by a free pardon, remit all the future consequences of the act, and restore Lieutenant MUNRO to his home, to his friends, and to society in general. It has been stated, and we believe truly, that his brother officers, anticipating that full and per fect acquittal which had in every former case of a similar character been obtained, in a manner alike honourable to themselves and to Lieutenant Murat°, subscribed a sum of money sufficient to purchase a commission in his former regiment. Gratifying as such a compliment must necessarily be to the gentleman on whom it was about to be conferred, we should hope that it would be rendered unnecessary, and that her MAJESTY'S most gracious pardon will be speedily followed by his re-instatement in his former rank and position. Although we have thus earnestly desired that Lieutenant MUNRO should be immediately released, we are not the less alive to the evils, or less hostile to the practice, of duelling. It should be put an end to by every possible means. New laws suitable to the crime should be enacted, and it should be fully understood that their provisions would be strictly and rigidly enforced in every future case but nothing can be more unjust than to judge and con demn a person for an act committed several years ago, according to the altered state of feeling that now prevails with respect thereto. Why should not the Legislature grapple with the admitted evil ? Duelling is not of yesterday—it has been practised for ages ; philanthropists have deplored its fatal results, and have desired to put an end to the prac tice, but in vain. It never received a legislative notice, and our voluminous statute-book is without one single Act relating thereto. But then our legis lators themselves were, generally speaking, duellists, and it could scarcely be expected that they would have enacted laws against a system which they sanc tioned by practising. The military authorities would have cashiered an officer who neglected to demand whatthey termed honourable satisfaction for an insult ; it was recognised in every rank and station in society ; and it required a degree of moral courage which few men possessed to encounter the trials to which any person who refused to submit a trifling dispute to a mortal arbitrament, would be exposed. Although a great change has taken place in the public mind within the last few years, and a healthier feeling now exists with respect thereto, no person can look upon one who has slain his antagonist in a fairly-fought duel—where no undue advantage was taken, and where the deceased was not compelled to fight by unreasonable conduct on the part of the survivor or his second —as on: a par with ' the midnight assassin, the fiend-like poisoner, the cold•blooded and deliberate murderer, or deserving of an equal punishment. He may, according to the strict letter of the law, be equally guilty of the offence, but the public will not regard him in such a light, and the infliction of the extreme penalty would be repugnant to, and shock the feelings of all. A sentence that will not or cannot be carried into execution encourages the offence it is intended to repress. If parties escape altogether, the impunity encourages others to perpetrate similar acts. If, on the contrary, there is a conviction, the extreme severity of the punishment takes away from its effect. The public lose sight of the crime, the horror of the offence is merged in sympathy with the sufferer. Either result is equally injurious. It is not the severity of a punishment, but its certainty that is efficacious. The great object is example ; it is not for vengeance that an offender is made to expiate his guilt, but that others may be de terred from similar crimes. Now let us see what has the effect of preventing duelling. It is found that the most noted fire-eater will not fight if he is bound over in a heavy penalty to keep the peace, and it is looked upon as a sufficient excuse forhis refusal. The man who will not be deterred by the danger to his own life, or the possibility of being executed as a felon, will shrink from the pecuniary loss which he knows he must sustain. Let every subject be considered as bound over to keep the peace, should he be guilty of fighting a duel (which should be made a separate of fence and indictable as such), let him be heavily fined according to his means, and also imprisoned and k ep t to hard labour for a certain period. Let this punish ment be invariably carried into execution without reference to the result, and let no rank, no provoca tion, no circumstances of any kind exempt any of the parties, principals or seconds, therefrom ; indeed, the Under the Iliutagement of Mrs. Frances Davidge, Lessee.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The constant exposures that are taking place of the scandals and corruptions of the haute society of Paris are beginning to tell. The Ministry not daring to accept the challenge thrown out by the National and Courrier Francais—not daring to offer to those jour nals, by prosecuting them, the opportunity they have so long sought, of publicly proving before a court ofjustice the truth of the charges of corruption which they have brought against it, has adopted the plan of seizing those journals which comment on the reve lations so made. This is a confession of weakness on the part of the Ministry for which we were by no means prepared. It is a proof that the lessons of TALLEYRAND have been forgotten. It is worse than a fault—it is a blunder, and a blunder of the very grossest kind. The journals seized are the Gazette de France, the Reforme, the Charirari, and the Union Monarchique. The latter journal thus com ments on its seizure : " The Union Monarchique is prosecuted for an article on honesty, and for the reproduction of a few lines from the Charivari, on the overwhelming flood of crimes with which society has been afflicted. To prosecute journals for making moral reflections on scandalous transactions, on extravagance and waste, and on murders, is to us in conceivable. Is a man culpable because he thinks that society has fallen into sickness, when such symptoms of immorality and decomposition are evident in its bosom? No one dare venture to maintain this seriously. The Ministry, by seizing the journals, has fancied that it can put a stop to these redoublable accusations. It will not allow of the imputation that it has thrown France into a frightful condition, both materially and morally; and to escape from the responsibility it has incurred, it relies upon intimidation. It hopes to impose silence upon the press, thinking that the public would not of itself thaw conclusions from the sad events which have put all social principle and public integrity in peril. The Ministers who have had M. Teste for a colleague will not havellpe culation, forfeiture, delapidations, and other scandal ous acts and deeds any longer talked of. For ourseiwps, we have obeyed the dictates of conscience, and we . will persevere in the mission we have undertaken. Strilng in our intentions, we will appear with confidence bef ore the judges given to us by the law, and we shall see whether a jury can b e found to punish us for har,.ng spoken honesty, for having invoked honest men, :and for uttering a cry of alarm, not against society as it is, but to preserve its safety, by protecting it from ntew crises." WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE TIIIB DAY. M'rning.. 41 minutes after 12. f Evening .. S minutes after 1. The National, in allusion to the seizure of the journals, and to the accusations against the Ministry, thus turns to terrible account the doctrine of " moral complicity" proclaimed by M. HEBERT, the present Minister of Justice, in his prosecution of M. Du- POTEY, the political writer, and adopted by the Chamber of Peers in the conviction of that gentleman for " moral complicity" in the attempt of QUENISSI ;T. After reciting the various accusations of corruption which have been brought against the Government, and quoting the doctrine of " moral complicity," ac cording to which those whose acts tend to suggest •or to tempt to crime are equally guilty with the parties committing it, the National continues— " Let M. Hebert interrogate himself. When we oee issuing from the bosom of the Government or its flard'ts so much effluvium of depravation, does not reason da- wand that we should inquire into the cause? And wile the accused and the guilty are so closely connected wit h our rulers, are the latter to complain if we show thi .t this perversity reaches even them? And now an atrc cious and barbarous crime is added to these odiou s offences. This column of corrupting and corrupte d Ministers, of an officer of the Court driven out as a cheat, of gentlemen greeks and thieving functionaries s, has for its head a Peer of France accused of murder, ars d yet M. Hebert will not allow the instinct of the puhat c and the logic of the press to show the connexion there LB in the facts. No I We have not said that your course c•f policy had put arms into the hand of the assassin—we hay e not said that you were guilty of the disgusting atrocit: y revealed by this crime. What we said, and what we repeal is that the society that you have composed round yo betrays its morals and its ideas by its acts, and tba t those acts are hideous. Have you Ministers no shay in that ? Look at the examples given by you and th e doctrines you have inculcated. As Ministers, you hiry e regarded truth as a mockery. As governors, you hair e been influenced by a factious spirit. You, being cor - rapt, could maintain yourselves solely by corruption . You could n o t ex i st b ut b y d eny i ng your faith in grea . actions. You h ave d en i e d i t. Your system requireC that you should degrade the banner of France. Yot have laid it under the feet of Prince Metternich. It wat for your advant age , i n order to arrest all attempt al action, to waste the finances, and you have squandered them. You have supported those practices by ma:xiall the most exciting to cupidity. And you are astonished that this abominable system should have engendered vice and crime amongst those who received its , first. contact ! No ! that society fortunately confined wit hin a circle, from which the population shrinks with dis gust—that society is yours. You have cultivated, che rished, and excited it. It belongs and is united to yo'a by the most tender bonds. It is the offspring of y ideas. And the press is not permitted to denounce th e infamy, nor demonstrate the relationship, nor evolc e public execration upon you ! Since what period hi is a Government been established which is to escape all re sponsibility ? Since when have we been obliged' to treat with delicacy the virus which affects a Minist, al atmosphere ? Well, let the Government prosecute tbe papers ! It is not the latter, but the Ministers w, ho will be brought before the Court of Assizo. We a: ;k pardon of our cotemporaries if we congratulate then a • on being at length enabled to drag before the justice of • t be country those w h o oug h t l ong since to have received the chausement of their crimes. M. Hebert has :not thought proper to include us in his anger, and M hi lit we express our opinion with all the candour which tthe laws permit we will not assuredly challenge the la w officers by any vain bravado. Wo shall, howei, tea., always wait their attack with a firm and tranquil c, in science. And it, by chance, the Ministers suppose th a t others are more deeply impressed than we are with tl r.. e profound disgust with which we are inspired by th i, s regime, it would be a calumny upon the National— calumny against which, as our readers know, we have r need to protest." The feelings which are thus given utterance to by the National are not confined to the Republicara party, they extend through all classes of society. The Siecle says— " The Reforme, the Gazette de France, and the Chet. rivari were seized on Saturday. The object of this step appears to be to impeach different articles appreciating the moral responsibility of the Government in the crimes and scandalous acts which hare one after another spread abroad shame and alarm. We have not immediatel! , under our eyes the text of these articles, and we cann o t point out the passages specially incriminated ; but r e doubt not that these three journals have, in avowiLig their opinions, said nothing that goes beyond pubdie opinion. If the Ministry wishes to know what is though of it, let it listen to the murmurs in the streets, in thee saloons, in the workshops ; and it will find that never has there been a judgment more formally, more unani mously pronounced." It will, however, be impossible for the Ministers to prevent a public investigation into the charges of: corruption brought against the Ministry of War, for its conduct in Algeria.

The fifth half-yearly general meeting of the pro prietors of this company was this day held at the Great Western Railway Station, Paddington. Thg chair was taken at twelve o'clock by C. Russell, Esq., the chairman of the company. The notice convening the meeting having been read, and the common seal affixed to the registry of the shareholders, The CHAIRMAN said that, in the present state of the money market, it had been thought prudent by all companies to abstain as much as possible from the expenditure of any large sums of money more than was actually necessary. This company had also acted entirely upon that principle, and during the last session had not pressed forward any Bills which would increase the rate of expenditure very consider. ably. The Hon. Chairman then proceeded to state the course which had been adopted, and the Bills which had been obtained in the last session. Every effort, he said, had been made to prevent the resolu tions from passing prohibiting interest on calls being paid. He, as a member of the Committee of the House of Commons, had most strenuously opposed the resolutions, but was supported in his opposition only by one single Member, the Hon. Member for Salisbury (Mr. Chaplin). Their united opposition was fruitless, and though renewed in the douse of Commons, was equally unsuccessful. He considered that the principle of paying interest on calls was in itself a perfectly sound one, it was one universally adopted by all commercial men in all their transac tions where the gain or profit to be obtained was remote or distant. He and his brother directors regretted most deeply the passing of those resolutions which would hare the effect of preventing the direc tors carrying out the engagements they had made with the proprietors. Upon the best advice they were enabled to obtain, they had thought it right to enter into the supplemental contract referred to in the report. The works of the line, he was happy to say, were proceeding in a most favourable manner, and he felt confident that as soon as this line was completed, and its resources developed, all the returns which had been held out to shareholders would be most com pletely realized. The line was one of the greatest importance, not only in a national point of view, but also to the Great Western Company. In conclusion, he would call upon the Secretary to read the report. The SECRETARY then proceeded to read the report, which stated that the sanction of Parliament had bsen obtained in the last session for certain deviations and improvements in the South Wales line, and for the purchase of the Ballo Pill Railway. The Mor gam deviation, which had been rejected in a former session, had also received the Royal Assent. This latter deviation would enable the company to fill up the only remaining gap or interval in- the whole South Wales line, between Gloucester and Fishguard. The Swansea Valley Bill had also received the sanction of the Legislature, which incorporated a separate company, with powers to sell the line to the South Wales Company; but the formal act of sale would be deferred, in consequence of the recent resolutions of the two Houses of Parlia ment, until one-half of the capital of each company should have been paid up, and expended on their re spective works. The actual purchase of the Bullo Pill Railway would also be deferred until one-half of the South Wales capital should have been paid up. An arrangement had been made with the Severn and Wye Company, at the strong recommendation of the Committee of the House of Lords, to the effect that a sum not exceeding 15,0001. should be contributed by the South Wales Company to the former company, for the purpose of rendering that line available for working with broad gauge stock, under the manage ment and control of the engineer of the South \Vales Railway. The clause in the " Amendment Bill" of this year, authorising interest on calls to be paid at the rate of five per cent. per annum, in lieu of four per cent., as permitted by the original Act, had been expunged from the Bill by the Committee of the House of Lords, as inconsistent with the spirit, if not the letter, of their standing ord e r s ; b u t there was little doubt in the minds of the di rectors, that they would obtain power in another session to raise the rate of interest, as contemplated by their Bill of last year. It was intended, with the concurrence of the Great Western Company, that an agreement supplemental to that for the lease, should be made between the two company's renewing the condition of paying the advanced rate of interest in p c s o l oe n ut s it o i h d i ; e l r ov a f a t iitoehnse Companyloi of the b et c w o te n oe t wn r i a b rl u vd t sr i o e s n xez afforded agn e d t h e D b u y the ebolmin: The engineers' report also stated that the works were being proceeded with most satisfactorily, without any peculiar circumstances either of difficulty or delay. The statement of accounts of the company was also laid before the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of the re port, which having been sanctioned, Mr. SPENCER wished to know whether the direc tors had pledged themselves to pay all the interest upon the calls which might accrue in arrear when power to do so should be obtained from Parliament ? The CHAIRMAN had not the slightest hesitation in saying that if the five per cent. interest could not be paid by the sanction of Parliament, yet that ar rangements should be made to prevent any loss what ever, arising to the shareholders, in consequence of ature.—(Cheers ) the m re r. sol D ut u ion ß s o o u f L t A lce Lgsl wishedei to know whether the had any power to regulate V n u e sptoenr the h Cm e Company y Wales Railway. The CHAIRMAN — They h ave . the Gre t a o t il l s In answer to several questions put by shareholders, Mr. BRUNEL, C.E., stated that he had no doubt but that the line would be completed within the specified time, namely, two years, and that the contracts upon nearly the whole of the line had been let at prices little, if anything, exceeding the original estimates. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at ,Liverpool yesterday were about 3,000 bales, with a firm market. Shares were flat again. There are no later foreign arrivals, but a curious statement is circulating relative to the very threatening aspect of affairs in China. After what has recently occurred the renewal of active hostilities would not excite surprise, but the statement will need confirmation. The discount market is in some quarters reported less stringent, but we cannot find that for the general mer chant there is any particular relaxation. Indeed, both in and out of the Stock Exchange, money is too dear in relation to the profts obtained. The produce markets are not active, but sugar has beon firmer, and tea is held steadily. The general con sumption is steady, but the dealers are compelled, by want of discount facilities, to buy merely from " hand to mouth." A SHAREHOLDER thought that it would tend to give stability to the concern if the Great Western Company would consent to give 5f per cent. in per petuity for the concern. The CHAIRMAN could , not hold out any hopes whatever of the Great IN estern Company departing from the terms of the original agreement. Indeed, he thought that it would be most improvident upon the part of the shareholders of the South Wales Com pany themselves to give up a line so full of promise for the additional half per cent. The resolution was then agreed to, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman and the directors, and the meeting broke up. The gossips of the Stock Exchange have been edified by the fact having become known that a certain noble lady who has been speculating in the Funds has not come forward to arrange about losses. This, we believe, happened also upon a former occasion, matters subse quently being arranged. Consols have gone down again in consequence to 86k, being 864 :4 for October.

NOTES.—This day a pro clamation was issued, cautioning the public against the receipt of forged 5L notes, of the bank of Messrs. Rud ford and Wragge, of Stourbridge, of the date of June 1, 1847. Those genuine and issued by the firm on that day were from Nos. 5,001 to 5,400 inclusive.

Rome and Austria are now in direct collision. Abandoned to itself, we are satisfied that Rome will not be assailed with impunity. The Pontifical LIBERATOR has surrounded himself with bulwarks more impregnable than fosse or rampart ; he has raised a phalanx more invincible in its organization than that of the Phyrrics. Italy is armed with en thusiasm, and that enthusiasm is rendered the more irresistible by its unanimity. Whatever may have hitherto been the successes of METTERNICIT, he will inevitably meet with discomfiture in his infamous aggressions upon the Papal States, for Pope Pius IX. has rendered those states the abode of strength, and loyalty, and power, and confidence by invoking the Spirit of Patriotism. The Spirit of Patriotism is the Palladium of Rome, and it is better than that of Troy, seeing that its influence cannot be counteracted by guile or audacity. Impregnable, however, as is that portion of the Italian peninsula which is subject to the authority of the Sovereign Poscrirr, it is impossible to conceal the fact that the Government of Vienna has still the capacity to cause the most deplorable excesses and bloodshed by its hostile movements, and its many diabolical machinations. The conspiracy which was almost consummated in the Piazza del Popolo on the anniversary of the amnesty, shows this; and the recent occupation of Ferrara is another emphatic cor roboration. It becomes, therefore, the bounden duty of those kingdoms which are allied to Rome and its reforming Chieftain, in the spirit of liberality which is the very genius of their constitutions, to afford either countenance or assistance to them in their present dangerous and deplorable predicament. Civi lisation demands this; religion demands it ; seif interest demands it; reason and humanity alike de mand it. What would History say if the Free Nations of Christendom looked on with a passive indifference at the invasion, and possibly the subju gation, of the Roman territories by the hireling troopers of despotism, at the very dawn of that liberty which promised the emancipation of many millions ? She would say that those nations were culpable beyond the mere culpability of indolence ; she would assert, and assert truly, that they were parties to the retrogressive movements of the German EMPEROR, that their neutrality covered them with the guilt of complicity, and rendered them odious and contemp tible in the eyes of posterity. That wculd be the certain deduction of History, supposing the more enlightened Governments connived at the evil deeds of the crowned criminal of Austria. Already has the Ca binet of Vienna prospered with impunity by following the dictates of its avarice. It has fomented such villauous passions in Gallicia that the country has been saturated with the blood of wholesale assassina tions. It has exulted in the spoliation of Cracow with no more serious consequence than a formal re monstrance from the Court of the United Kingdoms. It has endeavoured to effect the massacre of the Roman population by plots more dastardly than those of CETHEGUS and LENTULUS. And, notwithstanding all these infamous proceedings, it is still unembar rassed by the opposition of those Governments who should strive to suppress its malign influence, and de stroy its most execrable devices. Austria has at length taken courage to itself from the apparent lethargy of its natural antagonists. Lieutenant Marshal Count AUERSPERG has taken mi litary possession of Ferrara in the name of his imperial master; and the brave ClAcdnr, the Cardinal Legate of the province, has solemnly protested against that invasion of the dominions of his llorasiEss, "in the mos t h o l y name o f G OD !" Austria, then, has drawn the sword ; the scabbard will soon be Rung away, and the Romans will have to fight for their freedom, and not only f or th e i r own freedom, but for the freedom of many generations . The Romans! Let th a t name inspire them. Let t " them press onwards under the banners of the great FERBETTI to the measure of the war -song of the kindred Tribune—the last of the Tribunes.-- RIENZI : " March ! march ! for your hearths and your altars: Cursed to all time be the dastard who lAters. Never on earth may his sins be forgiven ; Death on his soul slut the portals or heaven : A curse on his brow, and a curse on his brain ; Who fights not for Rome, shall to Rome be her Cain Every generous heart in Europe throbbed with in dignation at the news of the American invasion of Mexico, how much more at the Austrian invasion of Italy --of Italy, j us t awa k en i ng t o t h e li g h t of free dom—of Italy, led in the van of the nations by the enlightened and patriotic Pius !

It must be made an expensive luxury; and if, in addition, the parties who fancy themselves heroes are subjected to the prison discipline for a few months, a wonderful change will be wrought in their feelings, and a holy horror will be felt at the offence which had been regarded with the utmost levity.

CORN EXCHANGE.—WEDNESDAY Comparatively speaking, the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week have been on the in crease,of the present ye ar ' s growt h . Al thoughthe show of samples this m orn i ng was small, the and chiefly demand for all descriptions was exceedingly heavy, and to effect sales a further decline in the quotations of is per quarter must have been submitted to. Upwards of 22,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have arrived since Saturday. The continued large importations produced much heaviness in the trade, and in some instances the currencies had a downward tendency. In Barley so little was doing that prices were almost nominal. The same may be said of Mait. A large quantity of foreign Oats, or 25,190 quarters, has come in this week. Se lected qualities mostly sold at full prices, but the out-of condition sorts were 6d per quarter lower. In all other articles of grain, as well as flour, next to nothing was doing. o,o7;il:q.rs. 1, x 5,19 0 Wheat. 1,120 qrs.
