FRANKFORT, Nov. 30.—This dare sitting was
a stormy one. The Austrian questioo, in other words
the tendency or determination of Austria to break
with Frankfort if not Germany at large, was again
the subject of discussion. Both the modems forming
the order of the day, the one emanative from the mi-
nority and the other from the majority of the com-
mittee to whom the question was referred, were re-
jected after a vehement debate, the former by a ma-
jority of 270 to 18.5, and the latter by a majority of
220 to 210. The motion of the minority was to the
effect that tho Central Executive, whose commis-
sioners, Herr Welcker and Mosle, had not succeeded
in obtaining from the Austrian authorities that consi-
deration which was due to their position, be urged to
take steps for getting carried into execution in German
Austria the laws and decisions of the National Assem-
bly in Frankfort. The substance of the motiogof the
majority of the committee was as follows: Tnat us all
the steps hitherto taken by the Central Executive to
get its authority hilly recognised in Austria, and to
secure the liberties of the Germans in Austria, had
not succeeded, the executive be requested again to adopt
efficacious measures for carrying out the wishes of the
National Assembly respecting the recognition of the
central power by Austria. Finally, the two motions
were again referred to committee. Towards the close
of the sitting the Assembly adopted a motion having
in view the censuring of the Austrian authorities in
Moravia, on account of their electioneering intrigues.
During the discussion on that motion an Austrian de-
puty declared !hot Austria would only submit to the
' Frankfort National Assembly when its interests re-
quired it, and that, if Germany were not satisfied, it
might equip an army and declare war against the
Austrian empire.
HANOVER.—There were some disturbances at
(hnaburg on the night of the 27th ult., originating in
the attempt of the populace, aided by a number of die
guised soldiers, to procure or effect the release of two
non-commissioned officers who had addressed unbe-
coming language to the Minister of War. The win-
dows in the residence of the commander of the regi-
ment to which tFe sub-officers belonged were smashed
in, and other excesses were committed.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne, of Nov. 28, says : " The affair
of the federal capital was decided to-day in favour of
this place. In the National Council, Berne obtained
58 votes, Zurich, 35, Lucerne 5. In the Council of
the States Berne obtained 21 vote*, Zurich 13, and
Lucerne 3. Thus Berne is proclaimed the capital of
the confederation. All the deputies of French Switz-
erland voted for Berne."
The members of the new Swiss government have
divided amongst themselves the different ministries.
The cabinet is thus composed : 'M. the President
Ferrer, Foreign Affairs; Vice-President Ochsenbein,
War; Col. Frei-Herose, Commerce; M. Muntziager,
Finance ; Nat Post office ; Franschini, Interior and
Worship.

ITALY.

The fact of the Pope having taken the Naples road
rather than the more obvious one to Civita Vecchia, is
explained by the position of the Quirinal, the gardens
of which open on the road to Terracina, so that the
Pope wu enabled to leave by a private door without
rasing through the city or even issuing from any of
As gates. No doubt arrangements had been previously
made to secure his journey to Termini', and from
thence to the Mols di Gaeta, the nearest port of the
Neapolitan territory. The Duke d'Harcourt, the Minis-
ter of France, must have been privy to the project of
escape, since he sent an order to the French consul at
Civita Vecchia to send the steam-frigate, Tenare, to
receive the Pope on board at Gaeta. His Holiness
would have arrived, if not intercepted at Gaeta, at an
early hour in the morning of the 25th tilt., and would,
probably, have sailed immediately on the arrival of
the Tenate.
The tellowinq letter is from our own correspondent.
It will be found interesting, though it, of course, con-
tains no intimation of the flight of the pope.

tars yesterday evening. This morning an answer has been
received. Fidel makes the most ample apologies on the part
of the government for the disrespectful proceeding of ite po-
lice agents, of whom he pismires the pulisheaent and dis-
missal. He also concedes the exemption of the servant Fer-

has obtained, by assuming immediately a firm and decided

LOMBARDT.—The following address, says the
Augsburg Gazette, has been Untied at Milan, in the
name of the Austrian government :
In the hope of speedily beholding_ trenquillity restored in
all the provinces of the Lombardo Venetian kingdom, and
aalmated by the desire of causing their popuLtions to parti-
cipate In all the liberties enjoyed by the other provinces of
the empire if Austria, we consider it right to at once make
our intentions In that respect known. a have alreaby az-
carded a complete amnesty to all the inhabitants of the Lona.
bardoVenetian kingdom, for the share that they may have
taken in the political events of the present year ; we have
ordered that they she:l be neither promoted nor puni.ited,
attention being paid to certain considerations at which it may
be deemed necessary to atop in tie confirmed et of public
employments. Our will at the sans time is that the bibs;
bitants of the Lombardo.Venetian kingdom shall receive a
constitution, suited nut Ins to their nationality, and to the
wants of the country, than to their union with the empire of
Austria. To that effect, as soon as order and peace shall
have been sufficiently maimed, we shall convoke in a place
to be hereafter designated, representatives of the nation,
who shall be free:y elected by all the provinces of the Loup
berdo-Venetian kingdom.
TUSCANY.—The Petrie of the 30th ult. aye, we
had hoped that legal government would have been re-
established at Leghorn, but it seems otherwise. The new
governor and authorities have been refused admittance
at Leghorn and have returned to Florence. They
have made en official report to the Minister of the
Interior, in which they state that so soon as they
had arrived they found the Gonfalonier, who an-
nounced that their entry at Leghorn would cep.
tainly lead to disorders—that some of the must in-
fluential of the people had assured him that re-
miasmas would be offered to their reception, and
that the people were coming armed to conduct
them as prisoners to the fortress. The banker Adami,
who had promised to supply the necessary funds
to the municipality had, from the fear of disorders,
occasioned by their presence, withdrawn his pro-
mise. The chief of the municipality had gone to,
Florence to prevent their coming, and to com-
municate the actual state of affairs to the cen-
tral government. The new authorities had there-
fore returned to Florence for new instructioas. The
new governor, who was thus rejected, issued a pro-
clamation in which he says that he came tore-establish
order, fraternity, and respect for the law. That he
had presented himself without being accompanied by
any force, and he offered on the part of the prince a I
complete amnesty.
' The Genoa Gazette, of the 3rd instant, states
that perfect tranquillity reigns at Leghorn. A
meetinj was to take place to consider the steps to be
taken in consequence of the rerolutions of the Tuscan
ministry. It was supposed that some ultimatum
would be proposed, and that • deputation would be
sent to wafer directly with the prince.

A report of the Customs has just been published,
which exhibits a comparative view of French com-

the two preceding years. The results of this compa-
rison show even a more disastrous condition of trade
than could have been anticipated.
The Assembly to-day will commence the debate on
the budget on which the Committee of Finance. has
presented its report. The grow amount of the
national expenditure for the present year is, in round
numbers, about seventy-two millions sterling. The
Committee of Finances has laboured assiduously to
effect some reduction in this enormous amount, by
abolishing unnecessary °aloes, and reducing the sala-
ries of others; but the utmost that they have been
able to attain is a total annual saving of something
less than ten millions of francs, or 400,0001. sterling.

evacuated by the English soon after Sir Thomas Herbert's

seemed likely to continuo to prevail, in our colonies. The
authorities have adopted, with regard to Martinique, such
measures ea were Ica, sines loudly called for. Numerous
decrees had been issued against the robbery and illegal nut-
patina of the house of the proprietors by the emancipated 1
slaves. Other no lam important weesures had been taken
relative to the bearing of anal, and the tax on spirits
which lee been greatly nursed. These two last measures
are especially elnuneadalge, the former because it will tend
to lessen an abuse which bee hitherto constantly threatened

grounds led to the perpetration of sanguinary deeds; the
latter because it will haw the effect of restraining the con-
sumption of strong liquors manufactured in the country.

THE LEVANT.

We have received letters from our correspondents
at Malta, Athens, and Constantinople, from which we
extract the following :
MALTA, Oar. 22.—Ider Majesty's steamer Ardent will
leave to-day at noon for Tunis and Buena,st to recover cer-
tain portion' of the wreck of the Avenga said to have been
thrown up on that coast. H.M. sloop Harla,uin will also
sail to-clay for Messina, thence to Naples, to join the admiral,
who is still in the by with his squadron. The sickness
amongst the soldiers still continues. The disease is begin-
ning to puzzle the doctors. The men are now seized with
Laing in the stomach, as if they had been poisoned,
cks and die
great agonies in a few hours. The atta ge-
nerally take place shortly atter they have eaten
er drank. The greatest singularity is, that new
but soldiers are attacked ; and this, combined with
the fact, that none but soldiers drink the wines and liquor
sold at the grog shop*, is a convincing proof that there must
be something deleterious in those ',quote. It is a well known
fact that the spirits sold in these shops are manufactured in
! the island ; yet the government have taken no steps to have
I the liquors =allied, and allow the men to be poisoned with
i impunity. A friend of mine, who is a chemist, analysed
some brandy, bought at a grog-shop near St. Elmo's tier-
reeks, and found it to consist et spirits of nitre, oil of vitriol,
Chili peppers, saffron, and tenajaponica;with spirits of wine,
a mixture, he said, that would kill a man, or drive him mad.
With the above exception the island is in perfect health.
Business is vwy dail, except in oil.
Amman, Oct. 18.—The English, French, and Russian
ambassadors addressed a joint note to 24. Coloconnui, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the 22nd ult., pointing out
to him the necessity of putting a step to the disorders
and acts of brigandage which desolate Greece.
The quarantine against Malta has been taken off, es the
government are now convinced that the report of cholera
being in the island is false. Greece is perfectly free from
that scourge. The Volcano steamer is still in the Piraeus.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 15.—Vehilab Nerredin Merza,
son of the late Shah el Persia, has ascended the
throne. lap/atoll Nadir, who attempted the life of M.
Mamma at Athens, has arrived here in one of the Ananias
Lloyd's steamers, and will shortly be tried for the crime.
A fire broke out on the 13th, and raged so violently that 300
houses were soon des,zoyed. The palace of the English
ambassador was attempted to be fired.

LINCOLNEIRE.
EXTRAORDINARY DlSCLOnt:REn.—Travis, who wu
acquitted at the late assizes at Lincoln, on the charge of
murdering Mr. Copeman, of Blybro', in December last, is
again in custody. A man has come forward to give ',idea*e
against him, who deposes that he was under shelter of a hay
stack, on the night of the murder, and heard the whole
scuffle. He followed Travis home, and &misted in canoeist-
iug his boots, and was to receive a large sum of money if
Travis got off. On applying for that sum it was flatly
refused, and he was told if he informed he would abeam
transported. The man, however, has made depositions be-
fore the magistrates. A singular part of the story is that the
witness might have eecuredthelOOl. reward had he informed
before the trial.—Another correspondent communicates the
following additional particulars:—ln consequence of a

COMMERCIAL ef MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

.Ha(fipast One o'Clock.—The continued influx of
expresses and extraordinary intelligence from Paris
and other parts of the Continent, still keeps up much
excitement. The reports from Paris about the King
of Prussia havingbeen put in prison, with his ministers,
is manifestly incorrect. Advices from Berlin, of Thurs-
day morning last, have been received by the Hamburg
mail, which represent that capital to be quite tran-
quil. The commercial and money accounts from
France and Germany are looked upon with the
greatest disquietude. It is evident the government
delegates despatched to the departments are dis-
posed neither to respect public nor private
property. At Lyons, they are levying extraor-
dinary taxes, and seiz:ng specie found with
individuals leaving the place. At Orleans, they
are meddling with the funds of the banks.
Bonrdeaux was only saved from their rapacity by the
spirit and open revolt of the inhabitants. By the
accounts of the Bank of France, just published, it
appears that the specie in hand, non-inclusive of that
in the branch banks, was little more than 56 millions
of franca (2,250,0001.), whilst the notes out amounted
to nearly 275 millions (11 millions sterling.) Thelavish
expenditure and consequent straits of the government
are evidenced by the fact that the public deposits in
the bank were below twenty millions of francs (less
than 800,0001), a balance smaller than perhaps has
been known since 1815.
Upon this discouraging aspect of affairs, Consols,
which opened at 83i to

clined to 83, but are now again at 834 for money and
account. Exchequer Bills, 30s. to 335. premium.

DerLy and other 'twerps for money for the purposes of hors,

csmplained that the applicant should have been so e.
opposed by the worthy alderman, fur the comm,..,ni of In

the every Puhcac-house in

London. lie would not in the present en,.
question of the legality of racing sweeps. llint be would say
that there was nothing in the act of parliament di-
rectly making them illegal; the applicant was desirous
to conduct his house .0 a r: roper manner, and with
a view to remove the opposition and the preju-
dice of Alderman was quite willing to under-
take that the sweeps should he diecordinued in future, and
he had already removed bin bills from the window. Me.
Wire therefore trusted the court would feel thatver the license
ought to be grante.l.--Aldcrotian Wilson was y glad
bear that Vie applicant bad adopted this course, for other-
wise he WAS prepared hi give the application his met deter-
mined opposition. for he wan satietied the permitting of
sweeps for money in horse raring was of the most pernicious
character, not wily tending to the demoralisation of the
poorer classes, but productive of misery, in its worst shape ;
to such an extent had it arrived that children and women
pt-nt ell their earnings in what be cont. ntled was gambling.
It ass absurd to say that these lotteries and sweeps were
not illegal : although he admitted there was no ex-
press act of parliament upon the point, yet
that he
the very
tenor of the license granted to a publican was
should not permit gaming in his house.—Alderman Cope-
land said there was no law stating that the e lotteries and
sweeps for horse racing were illegal, and he believed, as the
law now stood, they were perfectly legal, and it was unfair
to deprive the applicant of bis license on such grounds. If
it was an evil, which he wax not prepared to admit, why not
at once attack the larger houses at the West-end, where
gaming and speculation were carried out to a
an enormous ex-
tent ?—Sir I'. Laurie could aesure the applicnt thatrm if the
case had been within his own ward or at Matylebone, the
license should not be granted.—Mr. Wire repeated his as.
surance that the sweeps should be discontinued.—After a
brief consultation amongst the aldermen, the Lord Mayor
said the court would, in consideration of the assonance given
lw Mr. Wir, on the put of the applicant, that all sweeps
should be diescontinued, allow the license to be renewed.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY EVENING.
A despatch from St. Petersburg overland is stated
to have brought 100,0001. in gold to the Bank. It is
also understood that some large sums in gold may
be expected from l'aris within a day or two. The
Bank, already full, is therefore coming to a
state of overflow. The bullion people, like Mr.
Samuel Jones Loyd, will of course interpret this
golden accumulation as the indubitable signal of
banking and national prosperity, onalgre the prostrate
state of credit and industry. People of one idea can
recognise no values except in the gilded shape. Com-
modities, fabrics, products, foreign exchanges, all go
for nothing unless reduced into tangible bank-notes,
or more tangible sovereigns. It may serve to throw
some light upon the results of the labours of other
committees on the currency laws, which the evidence of
Mr. Loyd, Mr. Norman, and others is supposed so much
and so justly, according to Sir Robert Peel, to have
influenced, to state the simple fact that the eminent
banking-house of Jones Loyd and Co., than which
none more wealthy, or conducted with greater intel-
ligence, exists in the United Kingdom, has actually no
dealings in foreign exchange, nor any corresponding
relations of money interests with foreign banking
houses. How then can the house, or any partner
thereof, comprehend practically the working of foreign
exchanges, constituting, as they do, a most important
element in the monetary economy of the country at
all times? The bullion people have been reminded

SOUTHWARK COUNTY COURT.

_before G Neale, Yoe., Judge.
WATEIIMEN'S COMPANY P. WHIM—EFFECTS OP RIVER
STEAMRRB ON SUNDAY FRAMES.— This was an action
brought on behalf of the Watermen's Company against the
defendant, a licensed waterman, to recover the sum of 11.
due by the defendant to the company.—Mr. Banyon, the
clerk of the company, stated that wider the 43d section of the
7th and Bth of George IV. (the Watermen's Act), the com-
pany were authorised to form and ht Sunday terries on the
river between Chelsea R. ach and Bow Creek and the river
Lea. These ferrite were let from time to time, by tender,
for one year, and the whole of the proceeds arising from
them was devoted to the relief of aged, infirm,
I and decayed members of the company, and in
the year Ih3o the proceeds arising from these fer-
ries amounted annually to 1,1201 ; but since the intro-
duction of the numberless steamboat, on the river they did
not yield more at the present time than 3001. per annum. In
the year 1841 the defendant, in conjunction with one James
Warwood, sent in a tender to the company for the renting
of two ferries, one from the Surrey Canal to King James's
Stairs, and the other from Shadwell Dock to King and Queen
Stairs. at a rent of 61, from April 5, 1841, to April 5, 1842.
The tender was accepted, and the defendant and Warwood
attended, and paid the amount of d. posit (31.), in lint of
security, and entered into possession of the ferries, and con-
tinued to do so, the ferrite being work, d by sin persons, each
of whom received a warrant from the company ; hut the de-
fendant and Warwood only being the tenants of the com-
pany. Warwood, in addition totin 31., paid 21., leaving 11.,
since which both had been lost sight of until lately.
—Mr. Hill, one of the court of assistant, of the com-
pany, stated that the object of the company, in pressing
the present claim, was to protect their aged poor from the
dishonesty of owners of ferries, by which the funds appli-
cable to their relief were so materially diminished. It was a
common occurrence for owners of ferries to refuse paying for
the latter portion of their terms in the ferries, and the com-
pany had determined on hehalf of their poor to sue every
defaulter. Ihe defendant was well able to pay, and ought
to be compelled.—The defendant denied renting the ft rry ;
Warwood was [beefily tenant, he (the defendant) working
under him. He never signed any tender, nor authorised any
one to do so. The name atta.hed to the tender was not in
his handwriting, and he had never attended at Watermen's-
hall to complete the tender. Had he been indebted to the
company they wo.ad have claimed the amount when he paid
his quarterly dugs on binding his apprentices.—Warwood,
on being called, deposed that the defendant authorised him
to sign the t..nder, and held the ferry jointly with him.—
The judge said the defendant's defence was a most dishonest
one, and he should give judgment for the full Amount and
costa—Judgment for the company eatired accordingly.

IdARYLEBONR COUNTY COURT.

Before A.Abraham,Erq., Deputy JudKe.
PARXER T. THE GREAT WEETEHN RAILWAY COMTANY.

--V1,1:E7E1;•OVI:MCIIAKOR rule CAICRIAGE or GOODS.—
The plaintiff in this case was Mr. R. Parker, the extensive
carrier of the Old Bailey, and the defendants the Great
Western Railway Company. The action wait to recover the
sum of 10s. 7 ld., for an alleged overcharge for the carriage of
goods at various times along that line of railway. The case,
on which several other actions are dependent, and which in.
volves in its decision several thousands, was adjourned from
the last sittings • month ago.—The plaintiff stated that he
was the most extensive carrier op the Great Western Bail-
way, and as the overcharges, to recover the amount of which
the:present summons was obtained, were of daily occurrence,
the rum out of which he was defrauded was immense. He
had already brought an action agaitist the company in the
Court of Exchequer for 2,0001., and recovered a verdict, but
notwithstanding that, the defendants continued their system
of extortion. The overcharge which he complained of was
for the carriage of several parcels of meat from Taunton to
the Paddington terminus, which he contended ought to have
been charged as one parcel at a es Hain rate per ton, as
corning under the fourth clue, whereas the company had
charged them separately under the fifth elan. The act of 5
and 6 Will. IV. gave the company power to make such
charges as they pleased for small parcels, hut it gave them no
power over goods of one description sent in large aggregate
quantities, although made up separately, such as bags of
sugar, coffee, meal, and the like. His argument wan, that
parcels of meat came under this clause, and ought to be
charged for according to the name rate. For the company it
was urged that parcels of meat did not come under the same
denomination as "sugar, coffee, meal, and the like," and
ought, therefore, to be charged for separately.—The Deputy-
Judge said be would communicate with Mr. Amos, the
judge, and pronounce his decision on a future day.
