Apart from legislative activity, sanitary precau tions are being forced upon us by the naked and exigent principle of self-preservation. Dirt and care lessness have acquired such an ascendancy over the population that fatal diseases are almost regarded as indigenous. Year after year hundreds are destroyed by scrofula and consumption, by inflammation of the lungs, by intermittent and typhus fevers, and by all the other varieties of zymotic affections. The victims of a systematic ignorance are viewed by the autho rities as the persons necessarily enumerated in the annual registers of mortality. The thought never appears to have recurred to the Government, or to the different municipalities, that hundreds of lives might be preserved by the most simple and economic arrangements, or that men, women, and children might be extricated from the mortal seizure of disease as literally as from the perils of drowning or burning. Wherever such precautionary treatment has been pointed out as obviously requisite, and the warning has been nevertheless wilfully disregarded, the individuals upon whom the responsibility devolved of taking the matter into consideration are (morally) as culpable as though they had assisted at an auto-da-fe. The movement already visible in the provinces from the rapid approach of the Asiatic Cholera, shows in a striking manner the extravagant consequences of this social indifferentism. A case of Cholera aboard a vessel just arrived from the Black Sea, occurs off Falmouth, and the ship is, of course instantly placed under qu aran ti ne . Th e rumour , however, is sufficient. A panic supplies the activity which should have originated from the dictates ( f common sense, and hurried efforts are made in all directions to stay, if possible, the progress or miti gate the virulence of the dreaded visitation. An ex traordinary meeting of the town council of Wor cester is convened, and propositions are laid before the councillors, fur the purpose of rousing them to some movement calculated to be beneficial to their fellow-citizens. A resolution is submitted to their judgment, and unanimously adopted. That reso is to the following effect : " That a committee be appointed with a view to consult the medical gentlemen of this city as to tshuee_propriety of forming a board of health, to adopt Precautionary measures as may be deemed ne cessary, in consequence of the threatened approach of the Asiatic Cholera." Similar committees were shortly after w ard s nomi nated at Gloucester andn elsewhere. where. Th e utm'ist in dolence i s evinced u a 3 the p estilence suc h as th e Cholera has actually reach ed coasts of Great Britain ; and f or th w i th there ar e terror, amazement, and precipitation. It is perfectly obvi ous th at arrangements mad e th us hastily cannot motest possibility be effectual. To usethe by the re • all trite metaphors, it is sh u tti ng the door tritest o f when the steed is stolen ; for it is preposterous toep fortunate results from a few stragglin g precautions any fortunate n y adopted at the e leventh h our , in the mid s t of an accu mulation of corrupt agencies vitiated atmo sphere, stagnant cesspools, deficiency of light and water, and want of ventilation. What we would especially insist upon is the ab surd disproportion of the precautionary measures adventured upon under di fferent circumstances. The bare report of the advance of Asiatic Cholera acts upon the sluggishness o f town-councillors like a dand even , shock of galvanism. They are prepare l.ora t. f o solicitous to do their possibl e for the amel the multitude. Whereas, while hundreds o are perpetually being carried off by consumption or typhus fever, they remain obstinate and indolent spectators of the calamity. It is certain—statistically and notoriously certain — that excepting that it is more sudden, the Cholera • 4 §R . , 0 , ..q- / 4 - 4.1 -ye . bi. f • ' • -' J 2 BOIT n. THE StJl', LONDOI4:, which yield the strongest additional corroboration to our views. What then can be alleged against the extension of this blessing ? Nothing, save that the landlords might not be enabled to retain the same power of coercing their tenants' consciences, and driving them to the hustings to record their votes in favour of the parties recommended by their masters. We trust that in a Reformed Parliament; this will not be held a sufficient reason for the maintenance of the present objectionable system. The Swiss journals publish in extenso the manifesto of the Diet, which is an ably drawn up document, and which places the question as between the Diet and the Sonderbund on its true basis. In speaking of the conduct of the Sonderbund, it says— At last the mask fell on July 20, 1847, and it was publicly declared that the Sonderbund was decided to resist all the decrees of the Diet, which it did not recognise to be lawful. In the interval, the order of Jesuists did not blush to make its entrance into the Vorort of Lucerne by walking over the dead bodies of those who had fallen in the struggle, and although it had the prospect of exposing the country to the dan gers of the most decided schism. Public opinion always pronounced more and more energetically against this order, and two Swiss Governments were obliged to give way under the impulse which was thus imparted. Long before the Diet met this year, the Sonderbund urged on with the greatest ardour its military preparations ; it called out its council of war, nominated a general staff, purchased arms and ammunition in the interior of Switzerland and in foreign countries, and assumed an armed position with respect to the Confederation, which abstained from any measures of that description." With regard to the measures adopted to prevent the necessity of war, the manifesto says— " The Diet imposes on itself the duty of making known to you, faithful and dear confederates, that it has endeavoured faithfully to fulfil this task, the deputies of the Sonderbund having caused to be in serted in the minutes on their departure the auda cious declaration that they had held out the hand in sign of peace, but that it had been rejected, and that the sword had been drawn against them. " The Diet knew that the people in the cantons of the Sonderbund were deceived by the gravest accu sations, and the most audacious calumnies ; that they were made to believe that the majority of the states had no other object than to annihilate their religion, their liberty, their indepen dence, and their cantonal existence, and to esta blish a military republic on their ruins. History will judge the functionaries who, in their official acts, have given themselves up to this dangerous game. That is why the Diet drew up a proclamation, addressed to the authorities and the people of the seven cantons. In this proclamation it developed its intentions in the language which was fitting to confederates united by friendship ; it gave explanations and tranquillised people's minds. Federal representatives were charged to circulate the said proclamation widely in the respective cantons, and to support it before the cantonal authorities ; but the kind language of the Confederation and the superior federal authority had no longer the right of making itself heard by the population of these cantons—everywhere, with the exception of Zug, the circulation of the proclamation was forbidden ; at Lucerne it was even ordered that any individual circulating it should be seized and delivered up to the public executioner ; and even the representatives were not admitted to the Govern ments to which they were deputed. It is thus, people of Switzerland, that your representatives were treated—thus that your voice was listened to ! " There yet, however, remained a hope of a pacific solution, that is to say, the negotiations in the con ferences at Berne. We had so much the better reason to expect success, from the fact that the federal representatives in each of the seven cantons had been told that they had to address themselves to the envoys at Berne, who were furnished with full necessary powers. But it was soon seen that we were grievously deceived, for these envoys had no full powers for negotiations relative to an arrangement, and they thus declared it. The deputies, on the con trary, who represented the majority of the Diet, made veritable propositions of arrangement ; they offered to allow the question of the Jesuits to drop, if Lucerne would send them away, in consideration of its position as directing canton. One envoy pro•. posed that the question of the Jesuits should be sub mitted to the decision of the Pope, if the Sonderbund would dissolve itself; another declared himself ready to consider the discussion as usolved, provided the Sonderbund would dissolve ilk If, and that three states designated by it should undertake to adopt proceedings to induce the Pope to remove the Jesuits. But all these propositions, the last two of which perhaps the Confederation will not learn without astonishment—all were refused with disdain. A very feeble hope was held out of the possibility of an arrangement, under the condition that the ques tion of the Jesuits and that of the convents of Argau, resolved long ago, should be submitted to the judg meat of the Pope ; and that before all the troops should be dismissed. That was too much for the honour and tranquillity of the country. To gain a temporary peace it was impossible to re-light the brand of discord which had only been extinguished after painful struggles ; it was impossible to re-open wounds which had been cicatrised by a wise mediation, and by time, which heals everything. " On this point also the Diet appeals solemnly to the Swiss nation. Decide, dear and faithful confe derates, if the Diet has not done all that duty and honour commanded to terminate the quarrel in a pacific manner ; decide if it has refused on light grounds a reconciliation which was offered it ; decide if it is it which first declared war. Whatever may be the fate which Providence reserves us at this se rious time, your representatives, dear and faithful confederates, can await the future with the conviction that they have endeavoured to promote the honour and peace of the country as much as was in their power. "The combat which the Confederation must engage in with confederated members is not a combat of twelve cantons against seven—it is not an oppression of the minority by the majority—it is not a war against peaceable confederated brethren. No ; it is a war of the Confederation and of its legal authori ties against the party which founded the Sonderbund, has elevated it, and placed it as a viper in the midst of the Confederation to tear its bosom. It is not peace. able populations which have done that, but it is the same party which, under democratic forms, has culti vated their ignorance, and which, under the appear ance of religion, turns them to account for its private designs ; the same party which, in 1813, opened the door to foreign armies; which refused the gua rantee to the constitutions of 1831 ; which are liberal, but nowise in opposition to the Confederation; which by indefatigable proceedings labours for re-action ; which agitated Jura and other parts of Switzerland, produced an Ultromontane revolution in Argau, and called the Jesuits to the cantons of the Valais, Friburg, Schwits, and of Lucerne, of which it is the ally and the instrument. Such is the character of the Sonderbund ; if it be allowed to act as it will, or to conquer, the afflicted country will lose, little by littl e , a ll t h e i nst i tut i ons which are the con dition of its veritable liberty, of its intellectual pro gress, of its strength, and of its honour." The communications between Berne, and Lucerne, and Friburg, are completely interrupted. Hostilities it is said, are to commence on the Bth. The Cologne Gazette of the Bth instant publishes the following letter, dated Lake of Constance, Sd instant : " The Austrian troops have assembled in such numbers on the frontiers of Switzerland that there are three battalions in the small town of Bregentz alone. These troops are, it is said, provided with all means of transport required for crossing rivers. It is believed, from these facts, that Austria will in terfere, should circumstances demand the presence of those troops." The Zurich Gazette of the 6th instant announces that on the 4th the troops of the canton of Uri had penetrated into the canton of Tessino, and that, in a skirmish of advanced posts near Airolo, two officers of Uri were killed. Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. The Gageta publishes two royal decrees, accepting the resignations of General Ros DE OLANo, as Mi nister of Public Instruction and Commerce, and of General CORDOVA, as Minister of War, with whose devotedness and zeal the QUEEN declared herself satisfied. By a third decree, Senor SARTORIUS, Mi nister of the Interior, was to direct, ad interim, the Ministry of Public Instruction and Commerce; and a fourth decree appointed the Duke DE VALENCIA, President of the Council, Minister of War. General JOSE DE LA CONCHA had been superseded in the general direction of the cavalry, and General AN SELMO BLASER in that of the infantry; the former by General RICARDO SHELLY, and the other by General FRANCISCO DE PAULA FIGUERAS. By an other decree, General LAUREANO SANE had been named Director-General of the Staff. General Aram is banished to Valencia, and General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA, who had, by his judicious and mild measures, nearly succeeded in pacifying Catalonia, is superseded in the command of that province by the brutal and sanguinary PArrA. The cause of these changes h the discovery, by NARYAEz, of an intrigue on the part of Ros DE moderate Progressist a as 13 "" and CO4DOVA, to break up the existing Mi c There is little doubt but that the in W tr l i t gu h istry, and bring in a new pile Preside 4 of the eo A s s L f to fort x ae. destruction of the NARVAEZ Cabinet will be re newed, as it is notorious that NARVAEZ does not possess the confidence of the SOVEREIGN, and it is also now pretty clear that he has quarrelled with CHRISTINA. The portfolio of Public Instruction has been offered to PUPAL, who, however, has refused to join the Narvaez Cabinet. He, no doubt, imagines that ere ; long Mos, his brother-in-law, the all but avowed agent of Louis PHILIPPE, and the pet jobber of Queen CHRISTINA, will trip up NARVAEZ, as he did on a former occasion. The Eco del Comercio states that the Council of Ministers has decided that the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER shall be called to Spain. The Ileraldo, the semi-official organ, states that the reason alleged by General USPARTERO for refusing the London embassy, which it. admits was actually conferred on him, was that his means did not permit him to sus tain it in a becoming manner, and that, besides, he felt-it right to remain separated from public affairs for the present. Ha added, that he did not refuse the embassy because it was offered by the present Minis try, for he should have also refused it had it been offered by a Cabinet composed of his old political friends. As to an order having been given to him to remain abroad, The Heraldo says it has not heard that instructions for such an order had been for warded to Senor ISTURITZ. MADRID BOLQA, Nov. 4.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26i, at fifty days; the Five per Cents. at 15f for paper; the Debt without Interest, at 511; and the Coupons at 11. IWe have received the P ar i s papers o f T ues d ay , The Journal des Debats announces the suicide of Count BRESSON in the following terms :—"Count BRESSON, Ambassador from the Court of France to the King of the Two SICILIES, has died at Naples. He was found in his bed at six o'clock in the morn ing of the 2d instant, bathed in his blood, with a large wound in his throat, supposed to have been in flicted with a razor. This awful news was brought to France by the Ocean steam-boat, which has arrived at Marseilles. We have no other details.'' Disappointed ambition appears to have been the cause of this deplorable event. Count BRESSON had, it is said, been promised either the London or the Petersburgh Embassy, as a reward for the tact with which he conducted the intrigues in Spain by which the Montpensier marriage was brought about. On his return to Paris he asked for one of these em bassies (he particularly desired to have the Embassy to London), but the ICING and M. GUIZOT positively refused to appoint him to either, ' and, as if to make the insult more marked, ap pointed him Ambassador to Naples, an embassy inferior in rank to the one to Madrid, which he had before filled. It would appear as if he contemplated suicide from that moment. He made his will and arranged all his affairs before taking his departure from Paris. He was in low spirits, but quite calm and collected during his journey to Naples, and at Turin he transacted business of importance with the Sardinian Government. On the 31st ult. he had his formal audience of the King of NAPLES, and presented his credentials. He appeared much pleased with his re ception in the evening. Next day he paid a number of visits, and in the evening went to the Opera, without evincing throughout the day or evening the slightest symptom of insanity or excitement. On reaching home, however, he was observed to be agitated. His excite ment increased, and he continued walking about his apartment until four o'clock, when, all at once, the fall of a heavy body was heard. The Countess BaEssoN ran into his room, and found him lying in a pool of blood, which flowed from a frightful wound in the throat, effected by a razor, which was found close to him. Instant alarm was given, and almost imme diately the surgeon of the British Legation arrived, but the Count was already dead. Other professional persons came in rapid succession, but nothing could be done. Thus perished the clever intriguer who nego tiated the Spanish marriages —a victim to the trust which, regardless of the warning of scripture, he put "in princes." In the same journal we find the following additional details of the unfortunate case of Count MORTIER : " Count Mortier, Ambassador from the Govern ment of France to the Court of Turin, has," says the Debats, " been struck with insanity. It was found necessary to place him in a lunatic asylum on Sunday last. For some time past Count Mortier showed some symptoms of that dreadful malady, and with out any apparent motive committed several acts of violence. On Sunday morning last, after having shut himself up with his two children in a room of the apartment he occupied in the Hotel Chatham, he wrote two letters, couched in similar terms, one ad dressed to his wife and the other t o a f r i en d , i n which he apprised them that in a few minutes he and his two children would have ceased to live. The prefect of police was informed of the fact. He hastened to the hotel, where he was shortly afterwards joined by the Chancellor, who attended in consequence of Count Mortier being a member of the Ch am b er o f P eers. The Count had barricaded himself in hi s c h am b er, arme d with a razor, which he brandi s h e d over the heads of his children. At intervals he th rea t ene d h i s own life, and in his delirium vociferated the most horrible menaces. It then became necessary to adopt some resolution. The Chancellor spoke to him in a friendly tone of voice. The Count replied by incoherent speeches of death and blood, and th en , a d dressing his son, whom he held on his kness, told the child th a t h e must die. The unhappy child, wh o i s 11 years of age, exclaimed that he did not wish to die, and struggled, weeping all the while. Then, addressing himself to years of age, th e C oun t asked follow him and die with hi m ? The dldof 8 s that she would di e w ith h er father, hi d poor heru a g an h childdit fe ir rep i she a sawdlodi child would d that the father prepared to execute his horrible design. The persons who heard outside the door what was passing within were para lysed with terror. A word or a movement might precipitate the arm which was directed by insanit3. This scene lasted nearly th ree h ours . Th e Countess Mortier, the Chancellor Pasquier, and M. Delessert, the Prefect of Police, remained standing at the door in a state of inexpres sible terror. At length, after these long and cruel hours of entreatie s , s il ence, expectat i on, and negotiation, access was obtained into the apartment by a door which had been some time closed, and which was opened without noise. The Chancellor and the Prefect of Police entered, and succeeded in extricating the trembling children from their agony, and restored them to their mother. Count Mortier still, however, held the razor in his hand, and nothing could induce him to surrender it. He had from time to time made a gesture as if he was about to cut his throat : this scene lasted three-quarters of an hour longer. He complained angr il y o f t h e p e rsecution of which he said he was the object, accusing the Prefect of Police o f v i o l a ti ng his domicile, and the Chancellor of i n f r i ng i ng on his liberty, and declared that he would complain to the Keeper of the Seals. M. Delessert suggested to him to write a letter to th e K eeper o f th e Seals, which he undertook t o d e li ver to h i m, w i t h th e intention of inducing hi m t o l ay as id e hi s razor , an d whi▪ ch it would have been dangerous to endeavour to take by force. The Count consented to write the letter, but on con dition th a t th e P re f ect o f P o li ce s hould remain at a distance at the further end of the chamber. Th e Keeper o f t h e S ea l s, w h o h a d b een apprised of what was going forward, replied instantly to Count Mor tier, and req ues t e d th a t h e would go to hi▪ s house and explain th e matters o f w hi c h he had to complain. The Cou n t th en consen t e d to go out. On the stair case he clo se d th e razo r and placed it in his pocket, and i n th e court - yar d o f the hotel he was seized in presence o f th e Ch ance llor, and immediately lodg e d in a lun a ti c asy l um ." Marshal SEBASTIAN' has returned to Paris, and has taken up his abode at the Hotel Sebastiani, the scene of the Praslin tragedy. The Reform dinners continue. There was one at Lille on th e 7th, a t w hi c h M. ODILON BARRO T was to have to ebe a e d n d p t r o es t e he present, tbouats,t "to electoral and Parlia on the refusal of th e com m mentary reform " the words "to the truth and sincerity of the institutions of July, 1830 , ,, M. ODILON BARROT and some of his friends withdrew. SI. B ENTE P ox LET took ;the chair, and the t oas t , without the a ddition, w as drunk with th e greatest enthusiasm. These dinners are causing great anxiety to the Government, who are secretly arming the de tached forts round Paris, and have 1,850 pieces of artillery stored at Vincennes and Alfort. The Courrier Francais states that a solemn service was celebrated on Sunday last, in the church of Notre Dame des Victoires, Paris, by the Abbe DESGENETTES, to invoke Divine protection on the cause of the Son- derbund. The ceremony was attended by a large congregation. There was no sermon preached on ,he occasion. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 77f. 40c. ; the Five per Cents., 1161. 50c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,196 f. 25c. ; Rouen, 921 f. .25c. ; Havre, 620 f. ; Great Northern, presents no feature which renders it so formidable as several other diseases to which the community are more accustomed. The numbers destroyed in the United Kingdom by influenza, immediately after the abatement of the Asiatic Cholera, in 1831-32, were superior to those carried away by the pestilence. The victims of pulmonary decline, of bilious or gas tric fevers, and of scrofulous affections, are numeri cally greater than the victims of Cholera, even when that plague proves the most destructive, and yet with influenza, with consumption, with fever, and with scrofula continually around us, no efforts whatever are made towards their diminution. The mere enumeration of the most notorious of physiological facts should be enough to arouse the municipalities from their torpor and the Government from its indecision. When it is remembered that every human being requires for the maintenance of life no less than ten cubic feet of air (namely, double the bulk of the human body) per minute, and when this truth is coupled with the recollec tion that the same atmosphere cannot be twice inhaled without prejudice to the animal economy, it becomes manifest that proper ventilation, proper sewerage and drainage, and a proper supervision of manufactories and graveyards, is absolutely essential for the bodily (not to say the moral) preservation of the community. And how much more forcible does not this consideration become, when we reflect that in London there are 2,000,000 of persons, each of whom requires, every successive minute, ten cubic feet of atmospheric air ! To exercise a beneficial influence upon the body, that air should be composed of 21 parts oxygen to 79 parts azote, or nitrogen, mixed with an inconsiderable quantity of carbonic acid gas. How far these proportions are discoverable in the atmosphere of the metropolis and the larger towns may be imagined by those who bear in mind the numberless causes of its vitiation—the am monias, the sulphuretted hydrogen, and the volumes of carbonic acid reeking from a thou sand different sources of contamination, and from the tons of coal and diluted animal matter impregnating the air in the form of smoke and va pour. Such are the grievances which must be re moved before there can be any reasonable prospect of the abatement of diseases more fell than the Asiatic Cholera, because more frequent and prevalent in their recurrence. The adjourned meeting of the Assembly convened by the Irish Council was occupied the whole of Tuesday in the discussion of the resolution respect ing the alterations to be effected in the law of land lord and tenant, for the purpose of securing to the tenant the property in all improvements made during his tenancy by the expenditure of his labour and capital, and the amendment thereon in favour of the Ulster tenant right, together with a statement defin ing what that tenant right really consisted of. Not withstanding the important nature of the question under discussion, the attendance was wretchedly thin, and the great interest that was at first excited had manifestly abated. It is strange, indeed, that any con troversy should exist as to the real character and extent of the tenant right, which has existed and been fully recognised for so many years in the northern dis tricts ; yet so it is, and to this moment considerable doubts are entertained by very many of the Irish landlords as to what it really is ; a considerable number supposing that its general adoption would completely deprive the present proprietors of all con trol over their estates, and make the occupiers the real masters of the land. They regard it therefore as something to be resisted to the last extremity, which would, if sanctioned by law, effect their abso lute ruin. A moment's reflection might satisfy these timid men that there is nothing really so injurious to the proprietors in the system. They should regard the position of those of their brethren whose estates have been placed under its operation, and if it shall appear that in consequence thereof the land yields a smaller return to its owner in proportion to its extent and fertility, that the rents are paid in a less satisfactory manner, or that if the estate be sent into the market for sale it must be disposed of at a lower price, there would be fair and reasonable grounds for these ap prehensions. But, in point of fact, it is altogether the reverse. The Ulster landlord will obtain fully as high a rent for any portion of his land that he may desire to let as will be offered by a solvent tenant in any part of the country. Of course we do not compare it with the reckless biddings that may be made by starving wretches, and which it is morally impossible can ever be satisfactorily paid, the only object of the tenant being to get into possession, and trust to chance and the agrarian disturbances by which the country may be disturbed for maintaining that possession ; but a person really desirous of per forming his part of the contract, and punctually dis charging the liabilities he thereby assumes, will undertake to pay a better rent, because he is well aware that under the custom he may improve the lands to the greatest extent, and that himself or his family will receive the benefits of such improvements. It is scarcely necessary to show the difference in the manner of satisfying the rent, or how greatly that is in favour of the northern landlord. It is, unhappily, too notorious that in three of the Irish provinces there are large ar rears of rent constantly hanging over the tenantry, which are wholly lost to the landlords, but which act as a total prohibition to every species of improvement; indeed, it would greatly conduce to the real interests of the proprietors if these arrears were wholly blotted out, and the tenant suffered to commence de novo. A man who is out of debt will struggle with great energy to continue so ; but if once he is unable to continue in a solvent position, if he gets heavily involved beyond the possibility of payment, he cares little how deeply he may get into debt ; he relaxes his exertions, because he himself cannot reap the fruits thereof ; the produce of all his extra labour will go into the landlord's pocket. If he cannot pay the rent when unincumbered by debt, it will be utterly hopeless for him to think of doing so, together with heavy arrears, when clogged and impeded by a heavy burden. At length the forbearance of the owner is exhausted—. distresses and ejectments are resorted to, the tenant is driven from his holding, and the arrears are totally lost. The lands when obtained are found to be quite ex hausted and worn out, and a considerable loss is thereby sustained by the owner, in addition to that of his rent left unpaid, and the heavy law costs for ob taining the possession of his land, while the peace and tranquillity of the entire district is disturbed, and riots and outrages are of frequent occurrence. In the north matters are quite different ; the landlord is certain of obtaining his rent, if not from the imme diate occupier, at least from his successor, as it is an invariable rule that all arrears are liquidated, in the first instance, out of the purchase-money for the goodwill. Hence the landlord is not compelled for his own security to resort to seizures or distresses, and the tenant, even if through unavoidable misfor tunes he should get into arrear, does not therefore relax his exertions, because he is aware that if he does so he will obtain a smaller sum for his goodwill when he desires to dispose thereof. In the north, therefore, the landlords, with scarcely an exception, receive the full amount of their rent-rolls, while every person at all acquainted with other parts of the country must know to what heavy deductions the proprietors must submit for bad debts, losses by tenants, deterioration of the land, and law costs. It would follow as a natural consequence, that properties in Ulster, when offered for sale, will bring higher prices in proportion than those in the other provinces. This is so to the extent of at least three or four years' purchase. Were the landlords, therefore, the only parties whose interests were to be consulted in the legislative enactments that should take place, it would be in the highest degree advantageous to them that the Ulster tenant right should be extended throughout the entire island, but there are other classes whose interests are also to be regarded, and to whom the question is of still more vital importance the peace, tranquillity, and the promoted. prosperity n o t f he the n o e r n t t h i r ofe r u e n l t a r n y d 7.. t leastuldbe in those theroeubty parts where the c us t om is recognised, agrarian rages are wholly unknown, and every writer on Ireland has borne his testimony to the re markable comparative prosperity that exists in the districts in i o f f or L c o e r ' d DE_ vON and his have repeatedly quotedopinions whichtheitis brother Commissioners on this point, 'TflUitSliAi' EVENING, NOVEMBER 1847. 555 f.; Avignon, 552 f. 50c. ; Vierzon, 552 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux, 497 f. 50c. ; Dieppe, 2571. 50c. ; Basle, 155 f.; Paris and Strasburg, 423 f. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 410 f.; Paris and Lyons, 412 f. 50c.; Lyons and Avignon, 475 f.; Belgian Two and-a-Half per Cents., 51i.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--The base manner in which the Times be haves to every one who will not truckle to it, obliges me to request that you will insert the inclosed letter, which I addressed to that paper the day after the interview between Lord John Russell, and the Bir mingham Deputation, but which is refused insertion. Yours respectfully, G. F. MUNTZ, Ley Hall, near Birmingham, Oct. 10, 1647. (Copy.) TO THE EDITOR, OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l am never much surprised at your state ments, for you usually assume anything that suits your purpose, but your leading article of to-day is more than usually untrue, and has scarcely one word of fact in it. How you obtained your information I know not, and care not, but it is totally incorrect, as I shall represent to the meeting at Birmingham this evening. This gratuitous misrepresentation is all the worse, because one of your reporters requested me to give him, as a favour, last evening, the heads of what passed between the Deputation and Lord John Russell, and I stated them to him correctly. Yours faithfully, London, Nov. 5, 1847. G. F. MUNTZ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. Parliament was prorogued again to-day to this day week, when it will meet, according to her Majesty's proclamation, for the dispatch of business. The hour appointed for the prorogation was two o'clock, but long before that hour the Opposition benches of the House of Lords were crowded with ladies. Shortly after two o'clock the Lord Chancellor, attended by his officers, entered the House, and took his seat on the Woolsack, when the Commons were summoned to attend by Mr. Pulman, the Deputy-Usher of the Black Rod. In a few minutes Mr. Ley, the Deputy Clerk-Assistant, attended by several officers of the House of Commons, appeared at the bar, when The LORD CHANCELLOR said that her Ma jesty had been pleased to cause a writ to be issued under the Great Seal for proroguing Parliament to Thursday, the 18th of November. The Clerk at, the table having read the writ pro roguing Parliament to the 18th instant, and which declared that it was to be then holden for the dispatch of divers important affairs, the ceremony, which did not last many minutes, terminated, and the Lord Chancellor retired from the house. The only Peers present were Lord Campbell and Lord Langdale. The frescos appear progressing rapidly to-comple tion, especially Mr. IVlaclise's Chivalry, but it is quite evident none of those now on hand can be ac complished before the meeting of Parliament. It is rumoured that immediately after the election of Speaker, the House will proceed with public busi ness up to Christmas, and that there will then be a very short recess of eight or ten days prior to the resump tion of the consideration of the business of the country. It is said the present monetary crisis will be the first subject brought before the Legislature by her Majesty's Ministers. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) RAY MAX/LETS. SbIITIMELD.

A shell having been procured, the deceased was removed to St. John's vault. It was ascertained that his name was John Rogers, a lighterman, who was drowned off his barge on the night of the late dense fog, the 2d instant, and for the recovery of whose body a reward of 11. was offered. The deceased has left a wife and five children totally unprovided for. WARRINGTON ELECTION.—It is talked of in this borough, by persons who are likely to know the truth of the matter, that it is the intention of William Alcard, Esq., who contested this borough at the late election on the _Liberal interest, to petition against the return of his Opponent, Gilbert Greenall, Esq., on the ground of gross bribery having been resorted to in the forwarding the interest of Mr. Greenall.—Manchester Guardian. THE LATE COLONEL ALLEN.--This officer, whose demise we recently announced, was for many years con nected with the 10th Regiment of Foot. He entered the army in 1808, and was placed on th e h a lf- pay list in 1835. With the regiment already mentioned he served at Walcheren, in 1809. He subsequently took part in the campaign of Sicily, under Sir J. Stewart; and at Naples, under Lord W. Bentinek. While under Sir William Clinton, he was engaged on the coast of Spain. He was also present at the taki ng o f t h e Island of Ponza. UsErni. INVENTIONS.-A working engineer at Preston has invented an apparatus for folding news papers, as they are received from the printing machines. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, the sales being 4,000 bales. American sorts were steady. There was no change in prices. —Railway Shares were not quite so good. Prices generally were rather lower. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Measrs. Lamont! and Co., was well attended, and a good business done at advanced prices. The following are a few of the quotations:--- Madrid and Valencia Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 0 14 0 Great Northern Reading, Guildford, and Reigate 6 15 0 Royston and Hitchin North Staffordshire Great Luxembourg North British, Thirds South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 ... 3 11 6 Manchester and Southampt on ........ 0 8 6 Paris and Lyons Caledonian, Halves Eastern Counties Eastern Counties. York Extension......... 7 19 0 Sambre and Meuse Buckinghamshire Without being too sanguine as to the future prospects of commercial credit and of confidence, there is certainly some reasons for stating that to all appearance the worst has, passed ; yet, that additional disasters may, and will, occur is pretty certain. These are con sidered and talked of in the circles in which mer chants and others are principally interested. The public of late have been satiated with reports of anticipated disasters. No additional on dits of this sort shall we refer to, though one's ears are almost hourly bored by would-be newsmongers, anxious to give the earliest information of what has occurred, and what may happen in a day or two. One plain fact is worth a dozen such off-hand and very injurious inuendoes. Let seine of our contemporaries say what they please to the contrary, :there is an easement in the Money Market at head-quarters. It may take, it is true, some time before the beneficial influence will be extended to what may be considered the second and the third classes of mercantile paper. By an arrival from New York by a merchant ship, we have three or four days' later information from that and other parts of the United States. The papers are singularly barren of information, nor is there any later news from Mexico. The Exchanges at New York remain without variation. There are not any failures announced in the City this morning. The Stock Market has been rather more steady to day, the extreme fluctation in Consols for the Account having amounted to but I per cent. The present price is 84k. In money stock several purchases have been made, and i per cent. higher than for time ; at present 841 is, perhaps, the nearest value. Bank Stock has been called as high as 188. The value of Exchequer bills has again touched par, having opened at 4s. dis count. The Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted at 841 and 844. The French loan has been taken at Paris at 75E 25c. ; but only a slight effort has been produced upon the quotations of French Stock here, which has been sold at 115 f. 50c. for the Five per Cents. There is no price for the Three per Cents. Spanish Three per Cents. have realised just now 27k, and the Fire per Cents., 161. Chilian Bonds have realised 661, and Russian, 105. Venezuelan Bonds are 34 to 35, and the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents, have fallen from 534 to 534. The list of the Railway Share market contains very many quotations, but the alterations are limited. The Bank meeting has just broken up, but no an nouncement has been made of any alteration in the rate of interest of money advancei on approved securities. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.
