RESIGNATION OF THE AUSTRIAN MEW
BERN OF THE FRANKFORT CABINET.

FRANKFORT. —During the sitting of the National
Assembly on the 13th inst., it was &unnamed that Herr
Von Schmerling and Herr Von Worth (the only Aus-
trian members of the cabinet) had resigned, and that
Herr Von 0 agern bed been summoned to the residence of
the Vicar of the Empire. It will bs recollected that the
above date was the one fixed for the answer of
ministers to questions relating to Austria. It is
generally believed that Germ has accepted the post
of president of the council with a portfolio.
Austria has refused to acknowledge the new Ger-
man law relating to bills of exchange ; to contribute
towards the expense of building a German fleet; and
has recalled the Austrian commissioner at the cus-
toms congress in Frankfort.
PRUSSIA.—We have Berlin papers of the 16th
inst. The censorship has been established in those
portions of Silesia which have lately been placed in a
date of singe. Amongst the 120 persons recently
arrested in various parts of Westphalia, are several
of considerable influence—editors of newspapers,
members of town councils, councillors of Justice,
teachers, clergymen, and even military officers.
The ostensible grounds of their arrest are
that they formed part of a congress, at Munster,
having in view the carrying out of the decision of
the National Assembly respecting the non-payment of
taxes; but it is suspected that, by imprisoning those
democratical leaders, government hope to prevent
them from exercising any infl nem* on the forthcoming
elections. The arrest of the editor of the Westpha-
lian Mercury, the referendary Loter, gave rise to an
alarming riot at Paderborn. Barricades were erected
in various places, but chiefly for the purpose of prevent-
ing any blither attests on the part of the military,
who had employed unnecessary violent,. in dispersing
the crowd as,embled before the prison in which Herr
Loher was detained.
Wrangel has prohibited all meetings of the ex-
burgher guard having in view the election of depu-
ties to the approaching congress of civic guards-
men at Breslau. It is expected that the king
will take up his residence at Charlottenburg
about the 27th, and that the state of siege will be
raised shortly before the commencement of the elec-
tions. The Hanoverian minister, Count Von Knyp-
hansen, has returned to Berlin, atter a long absence.
AUSTRlA.—Letters from Vienna, of Dec. 13, state
that the Emperor has subscribed the sum of 200,000
florins, C. M., towards the relief of the poor in Vienna.

NAPLES.—Letters from Outs, published in

pointed Cardinal Antonelli pro-secretary of state, and
that, for the present, it is at Gaeta, and not at Rome,
that all official communications to the holy see ere to
be addressed, and there that all the affairs of the
church will be transacted.

SPAIN.

We have advice. from Madrid to the 11th inst.
which announce that in all probability Signor Seijas
Lozano, and not Signor Mayans, will be elected Pre-
sident of the Chamber of Deputies. He is supported
by the ministry.
The Herald() of Madrid says that there is no truth
in the mote that the meeting of the Cortes was to be
poctpmd—it was to take place, as already fixed, on
the 15th. A royal decree nominates the Marquis de
Mitaflores President, the Prince de Anglona and the
Duke de Venoms Vice-Presidents of the Senate.

IRELAND.

Dtrams, Doc. 17.
The storm of Friday has not caused any damage to
the shipping in the Shannon, and such vessels as had
cleared out for sea un the earlier days of the week
put back again. On the Channel ride of the coed it
has happened otherwise. The Growler, Attridge,
from New York to Waterford, with Indian corn, has
been totally lost in Whiting Bay, near Yougliel The
crew were saved. On Friday morning a foreign brig,
laden with oil and oranges, from the Mediterranean,
was totally wrecked in Dunbogue Cove, near Kinsale;
the crew, 16 in number, were all last. On
Thursday night two vessels were driven ashore
at llonabilty—no particulars known. Two French
vessels have gone on shore in Tramore Bay, Water-
ford; one, the D'Arta, a lugger, is expected to
be got off. A French bri
gantine, the Joinvilk, is also
on shore. These vessels were laden with wheat, for
Waterford.
The precise point held over for judgment in Mr.
Duffy's case, sad to be decided on the sitting of the
court, is, whether the indictment in the city ought
not to be quashed, on the ground that there is another
indictment subsisting against Mr. Duffy in the county,
which indictment is yet undisposed of.
Mr. Doheny has left France for America, where it
is said to be his intention to arrange for the publica-
tion of a journal in " the far West," devoted to Irish
interest. _ . _

TENANT RICIIIT. The Peterborough Farmers'
Club, at their last meeting, discussed the question, " What
MeaMillell could be adopted to eheapen the cost nt the produe•
firm of food ? " A lengthy dehatr ensued, in the course of
which the question of tenant right was alluded to, as inci-
dental to the mstter before the meeting. The following re-
solution was then agreed to, " That it is desirable for the
tenantry of this country to have their capital so seenred
to enable them with confidence to speed their money freely
in the soil, which would cans- a great demand for labour,
and produce au increased quantity of food at a less price."

THE CHRISTMAS PANTOMIMES.

DRURY-LANE.—This theatre re-opened last evening
with the game equestrian troop that was here in the mum
of the summer, under the management of K. Dejean. The
performances are slightly saved, and an addition has been
made to the stud of two highly-trained and bes,tiful ones,
which are named Pyramus and Thisbe, whose dceility
cleverness are very remarkable. The troupe of coltigewrs
also is very numerous, and some of their feats are wonderful.
Amon.at the riders, the graceful Palinpe Anat., and the
fearlets Caroline take a prominent part in the exercises of the
ring. The two Auriole have also returned, and ath.rd clown
has been added in the person of an Arab styled Mahomet,
whoa' drolleries and agility produced gr.at amusement.
By way of variety, a promenade has beets openc.d.
leading to the stanige and to the department where the
horses are stationed, which was thronged by "visiu.s. The
performances were very well attended, the boxes and pit
being tilled with holiday makers, whoa applause greeted
the extraordinary feats executed fur their amusement, parti-
cularly an act of equitation performed by a Mr. Nesmith),
wh we agility and grace approach very nearly to the late
Dutrow. The speculation appears likely to snowed,
and in order to suit the convenionce of theoung folks,
morning performances are to be given during tie Christmas
HaTMARICET.—The Christmas piece here is entitled
Camaralsaman and Bsdunra ; or, the Peri who loved tke
Prince." The oasis of the plot is in the Arabian Nights;
where, as our read. rs ought to remember, Can
Prince of the Bnaledan Isles, and Badoures, rilieers
Chia, who have respectively vowed to envoi their papa's

We may say, therefore, the first and most useful,
and most patriotic citizen in Fraave, at this moment,
is neither more nor leas than a Jew—one of those
whom not a few amongst us won'd exclude from the
full rights of citizenship, as incal..ible of either feeling
the sentiments consequent tit,... ARAI rights, or at
least of actieg as a native of the realm should act.
lint here experience shows us what a Jew may do,
aad how a great country may fall into difficul-
ties from whieu it may so chance that a Jew can
beat relieve it. The Jews stand equal with other citi-
zens in France. The law makes no distinction be-
tween them and others. M. CREMIEUX, one of the
Provisional Government, is an Israelite, a lawyer, and
a deputy. His respectability, experience, and talent
give him great weight in the dangerous and onerous
position which he has taken. Had the state
and government of France proved stepfathers and
harsh rulers to all his creed, M. CREMIEUX,
with all hie talent, might have been enlisted as a tee
to the welfare and greatness of France. As it
is, France c.,mmands and gains by the cordial assist-
ance and energies of such a man as CREMIEUX, and
of the financial resources of such a man as Ron's-
CHILD.

AMERICA AND MEXICO.

The Cambridge, Captain Peabody, arrived ai Liver-
pool, yesterday, bringing dates from New York to
the 16th ult She has also brought specie to the
amount of 30,000/. The news seems unimportant,
with the exception of the fact that Trist had not con-
concluded a treaty of peace, a sufficient quorum of
the members of the Mexican congress not having
been firmed at Queretaro.
The other items from Mexico state that Pena y
Pena had been elected president in the room of Eyna;
and that Santa Anna hed gathered around him a
body of 20,000 men, with which he had determined
to retrieve the honour of his country by an attack on
General Wool's division.
Meanwhile the proceedings at Washington were
dull. The Ten Regiments' Bill had not passed the
senate, and the New Loan Bill was to have been
finally determined on the 22nd ult.
There had been a large meeting at New York on
the lath to promote the election of Gen. Taylor as
president, but a great uproar took place in conse-
quence of several persons giving the preference to
Henry Clay, Polk, and Webster. To such a height
did the riot extend that the meeting had to be ad-
journed.
Commercial affairs have undergone no material
alteration since our last advice.

ILLNESS OF THE EMPEROR

OF RUSSIA.

The following, received by telegraphic de-
spatch, appeared exclusively in a second edition of our
journal on Saturday :
Our correspondent at Brussels, writing on the
evening of the 3rd, says, " Prussia is making extra-
ordinary military preparations. The Prussian Diet
is about to be convoked immediately."
The Germanic Diet published on the Ist instant a
proclamation, in which all Germans are exhorted to
be united ; and measures, it is said, will be taken to
preserve peace at home, and the Confederation from
invasion. The following is the text of the procla-
mation :
The Germanic Diet, as the legally recognised organ of
the national and political unity of Germany, takes this
opportunity of addressing with sentiments of confi-
deuce the German nation and the German govern-
ments. Constitutionally entrusted with themission of
watching over the internal and external safety of
Germany, the Diet expresses the conviction that neither
can be guaranteed except by the unanimous co-operation
of all German governments and nations, and the conscien-
tious maintenance of the most intimate union of all the
organs of Germany. It is upon that union and
that co-operation that are based the power and
the inviolability of Germany abroad, and the maintenance
of order and tranquillity at home, as well as the respect for
persons and for property. The history of Germany shows how
fatal are the consequences of disunion amongst governments
and nations. May that experience be kept in view during
the present excitement, and be turned to advantage in the
course of the stormy events which ace, perhaps, in course of
preparation for Germany' In the name of their common
country, the Germanic Diet invite all Germans to co-operate
in preventing the dissolution of that anion and the disturb-
ance of public order. On its side the Diet will do
all in its power to watch over the security of Ger-
many against attempts from abroad, and to de-
velop its natural interest at home. Germany must
be raised to the rank which belongs to it in the nations
of Europe, but union and legal progress can alone lead to
that result. The diet kas confidence in the respect which
Germany has entertained for the laws, in the most difficult
times as well as in the ancient loyalty of its character and
the ripener of its intelligence.
A monetary panic was expected in Hamburg.
There were uo quotations on the Frankfort Bourse on
the let of March.
Advice, from Vienna of the 27th announce a state
of great agitation, produced as much by the news
from Italy and the financial embarrassments -of
it
vernment, as by the news from France.

The West Indian Islands were generally healthy,
and the weather seasonable.

Commercial advices are important. The trade of
the British West Indian colonies is represented to be
in a most depressed state.
Curdora's Intelligence states that shippers to the

Cargoes intended for the market should be small.

A revolution had taken place on the 24th of January
at Caseate, the capital of Venezuela, where the Con-
gress was in session. A violent debate occurred, and
a tumult arose in the Chamber of Deputies, in which
five members were killed. Some fighting afterwards
took place in the city, which ended about 9 in the
evening; but fresh outbreaks were expected.

LARGE IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN GRAIN, TO
lAYR Darr.—From Hull we learn that the importation of
foreign grain from Hamburg and Rotterdam during Satur-
day, the 26th, and Monday, the 28th of February, was very
considerable ; upwards of 14,500 bags of wheat alone were
imported, chiefly from Hamburg, besides sundry parcels of
peas, beans, and barley. The amount of duty saved by the
Importers, in consequence of those cargoes beingentered pre-
vious to the let of March, would exceed 2,2501. The duty,
which was levied on Wednesday, the Ist of March, was, for
wheat, 6e., and barley, eats, rye, beans, and peas, 2s. 6d. per
quarter.

BRAZILS AND LA PL ATA.

Advices from Pernambuco to the sth Ang., and
Rio Janeiro to the 24th July, have been received in
Liverpool. At the former port trade was dull, and
freights were looking down. At the latter place
great rejoicings had taken place in honour of the
birth of the Emperor's son, which event came off at
8 b'elock on the morning of the 20th. Exchange
ruled at 231 to 23. Government stock 85 to 86.
Freights 60s. to the Channel, and 15s. to English
vessels disengaged.
Dates from Buenos Ayres to the Ist, and Monte
Video to the 4th of July have come to hand. The
letters communicate the important intelligence that
the French authorities had raised the blockade of all
ports belonging to the Argentine Confederation, and
had confined themselves to those places in possession
of Oribe. It was feared in Monte Video that the
latter would alio soon be eased of their presence, as
their bills would be taken by nobody, and thus being
without provisions or ammunition they would almost
immediately bid adieu to the Orientals.
Both at Buenos Ayres and Monte Video trade was
dull. At the former place freights had declined to
80s. for tallow, and 60s. for salted hides. Exchange,

I teem this evening that the highly important in-

France and England for the settlement and pacifies-
the of Northam Italy has been received. The bead
titbit exrestive has received official notice of this,
in a letter from M. Emanuel Arago, the French minis- ter atlleilin.

umbrage bad heen taken at some expressions used by
General e in the Ararnahly, respecting a

against it on account of its alleged reactionary spirit
It now aupears that General Changarnier, as can-
ander of the National Guard, has addre"ed himself

him in the report were used by him. This is said

Luis our correspondent "Anti-Humbug," whose
letter appears in another part of our impression, we
have been waiting patiently for the results of the
Royal Mint Commission, and like him we begin to
think they are exuenielitardy in their operations. If,
however, they are paid twelve guineas a day (we have
been told ten guineas each), and the secretary at the
rate of 5001, • year, we require no other reason to
explain their inertness
Resides these heavy charges, we understand that
the gentleman brought from India to reform oar Mint
here, is to be paid the fall salary of 3,5001. allowed
by the Fast India Company, and all his expenses to
boot. Bo much for the wise economy which
promoted this manceuvre, under the notion that
the English Mint was an imitation of that at
Calcutta, the ravers being the case, and that the
Calcutta Mint was well managed ; whereas it now
appears to be conducted in the most slo-
venly meaner, without any strict principles
of integrity, and positively at enormous expense.
We say positively, because while the Mint-master
shows a profit on the coinage, a great part, it not the
whole of it, is falsely created by debasing the stan-
dard, as any one may inform himself by asking a
bullion merchant the average amity of the rupees
recently imported. The expenses of a Mint, or any
manufactory, are not to be asoertained by the exhibi-
tion of a Wanes of prat and loss, but by the actual
working charges, as contrasted with an analogous case.
80 far from the oommimion showing any signs yet
of bringing their labours to a termination, it appears

The Tallow market remains firm at the following quota-
tions :—Town Tallow 395. 6,1., or fur cash, 363. 6d. to 375. ;
Petersburg Y. C. on tie spot. 38a. ; last three months,
395. 3d.; January and March 395. 6d. to 395. 9d.

ditto, 2s. Id. ; Yellow 395. ; melted stud',
285.; rough ditto, 18s.; Tallow graves, 91.; good dregs, 6s.
There is still confidence on the part of holders of Russian,
and late rates have been supported during the week ; there
is, however, a reluctance on the part of dealers to operate,
and only limited transactions are reported at 375. 94 for
fine candle. The amount of business concluded
for delivery is upon a more extended scale, and
the rates paid are 395. 3d. to 395. 6d. for the last
three months. There are many buyers rather under these
terms. Home melted is not dearer, but there is more busi-
ness doing at 3.58. to 365. per cwt. nett cash. An impression
exist., that fur this sort of Tallow rates will not be lower,
although supply is plentiful. Other kinds of Tallow are
operated in with more freedom, and former rates are well
supported. Of colonial and foreign the stock is 8,000 casks
more than last year, but in pritsw there is now little varia-
tion.

TO Till IDITOR Or THE txritru.

SlR,—Valuable as your own time and space in
your journal must be, yet I think you will not refuse to
spare a little of each for the cause of the helpless and in-
jured, and therefore beg to call your attention to the case
of Ann Hicks, which appears in the police report of Marl-
borough-street, in your paper of Thursday.
From her statement it appears that, about a century ago,
her grandfather helped George the Second out of the Ser-
pentine, and was royally rewarded with the privilege of
selling eatables in Hyde-park, which privilege has been per
mimed to become hereditary, and has descended to her.
Further, that about seven years ago she, with the permis-
sion of Lord Lincoln, expended 130!. (her whole capital)
is building herself a residence, within the park, for the
purpose of carrying on her trade there. Further, that last
autumn, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, wishing
to remove her cottage, gave her notice to quit; and she,
having no other means of getting a livelihood, being be-
tween 40 and 50 years old, and having invested her all in
the building, refused to surrender her "vested rights," and
resisted the commissioners; upon which they compelled her
to give up the cottage, which they have since pulled down,
giving her about 131. "compensation," and turning her
adrift upon the world.

Thus reduced to poverty, she endeavoured to gain a
scanty living by offering " three-a-penny" cakes for sale
outside the Crystal Palace ; for which offence she is taken
into custody by the police, but discharged by the magis-
trate, wi'h an injunction not to offend again.
Now, sir, even supposing that Ann Melts was not suffi-
ciently submissive to Lord Seymour and the Commissioners,
I think that they might have shown a little more leniency
and forbearance towards a friendless and helpless woman
whose whole livelihood they were taking awry ; and when
I think of the different style in which our rulers "compen-
sate" a rich sinemarist, when public outcry compels them
reluctantly to deprive him of an office or emolument which
common honesty ought to have prevented his ever receiv-
ing, I confess I am bitterly indignant at the contrast; and'
I trust that the power of the press may in this case be so'
well used, that Lord Seymour may be obliged either to
disprove the charges involved in Ann Ilicka's statement, or
to pay her a sufficient amount to compensate her fur her
cottage and for the privilege of which she has been
depriveil.—ltespectfolly yours, S. S. T.

CASE OF ANN HICKS.

Sir,—The cue of Ann Hicks as reported in the papers

ITALY.

NAPLES, JI:LT 7.
Before this communication reaches England, you
will no doubt have received intelligence of the arrival of
hi► Neapolitan Majesty in the Roman S•ates. The king
leg Naples with the utmost seertsy ; indeed, it was nut
known that his Majesty intended to go any further than
Gaeta by the most confidential officers of the court. I have
informed you, in former letters, that for some time past
preparations were in progress at Gaeta for the reception, as
it wee then supposed, of his Sicilian Majesty ; but 1 am
inclined to believe the king anticipated a visit from Pio
Nono, and that the vigilance of the French has thwarted
some runaway plan, suggested, I am told, by Cardinal An. ,!
tonelli. If I am rightly informed, for more than three
months the l'ope has been anxious to leave Rome,
"to bring about • crisis." The advisers of his
Holiness have always looked to Naples as a sale
retreat, whilst Austria was solicited to do the di-
plomatic work. That cabinet, it was argued, having
so much interest in the tranquillity of Italy, and being
so faithful an ally of the Pope, had a right to come
forward mid press the Frenehgoverriment to withdraw their
forces from Rome, that no domestic ilisa.ter might change
the Gallic devotion to the throne of Bt. Peter, either in a
spiritual or temporal erne. The French, however, appear
to have kept their eyes open, and anticipated the intrigues
of the Vatican. The l'ope has been, and is, closely
watched. l'io Nono, therefore, sent fur the King of Naples
that he might receive his personal advice. If his Holiness
can slip through the fingers of the French, he will no doubt
do so, and we shall hear of his arrival at Oae•ta in some
new costume, as 1 presume "the infallible" will not adopt
the same them as that which concealed him when he ran
away last time from his luring children.

the town.

About 1,200 invitatior.s had been sent out to the
merchants, bankers, professional men, and constituents of
the council, no invita. ions having been sent to ladies, and
at least 1,000 gentlemen were present. The extensive suite
of admirable rooms of the hall were thrown open ; cards
and music were provided ; and an unobjectionable cold
collation, enriched by a princely profusion of costly wines,
completed the preparations for a pleasant evening. The
soiree passed off as soirees usually do. The Mayor moved
' affably among the guests introduced to him by Mr. Brown,
and made individual communications of the honour done
him and the town, which were, no doubt, satisfactory. But
he very justly decided that there ought to be no " public
speaking;" and the evening was, therefore, got through
without a single oration. At 12 o'clock the company
departed. This evening they have returned to London—
either by tae direct route or round by the Menai Straits and
the Britannia Tube. Thus has ended a very remark-
able fete.
