PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes as follows
BERLIN, Ocr. 14.
The Austrian members of the federal commission in
Frinkfort are said to be General Sehonhala and the
ex-minister Baron Kubeck. The commissioners
named on the part of Prussia can hold office only
until the Reichstag meets. That until that period
Itadowitz will be one of the two chosen by the court
of Berlin seems pretty nearly certain.
Tire government is about to lay before the Chain
ben, at the same time with the Vienna treaty of
Sept. 30, all the transactions connected therewith.
Ocr. 14.—8 y an imperial
ordonnanoe, dated Schonbrunn, Oct.lo, countersigned
by all the ministers, and granted on the report of the
Minister of Finance, the tax on ground-rents is raised
one-third for the year 1849. 'lbis measure is taken
(sir the report) by virtue of articles 120 and 121 of
the constitution of the 4th March. The reasons es-
signed for its adoption are as follows: The difficult
circumstances which the Austrian state has had to
encounter in the colas of the years 1848 and 1849
occasioned an extraordinary development of all the
powers, and compelled a considerable increase in the
expenditure of the state ; the modifications about to
be introduced in the internal organisation of the
empire likewise called for 1a ge sumo, which were
necessarily covered by the revenues of the state.
Nevertheless, we have not as yet increased
the taxes; and we have carefully endea-
voured, as mach as possible, to avoid laying
any fresh burdens upon our faithful subjects,
so long as the calamities of war continued. Now,
however, we can no longer hesitate to employ the
revenues of the state in a more extended manner, and
to put the receipts of the empire on a level with the
increased expenditure produced by events.
The Voss Zeitung says, the Porte has assigned the
island of Cando to the Magyars, as their pleas of
residence, and will give them the pecuniary means for
their founding a colony.
The cholera is greatly co the increase at Trieste;
on the 10th there were 154 fresh cases and 67
deaths ; on the 11th, 142 fresh cases and 61 deaths.
Since the commencement of the epidemic 2,830 per-
sons have been attacked, 1,061 of whom have died.
In Gialiicia it has spread to 606 different localities,
where 19,068 inoividuals have been attacked ; of
them, 7,961 recovered, and 8,066 died; 3,029 were
under treatment on the 6th October.

On the afternoon of the 12th there arrived in Pesth
a courier with instructions that in future no sentence
of death should be executed. It is accepted sea token
of the truth of this statement that Paul Nyirs, Pe-
nns', and Stutter, were put yesterday into the con-
demned cells of the new building, without their exe-
cution having taken place to-day, as was expected.
Irar si, a former member of the diet; is said to have
been apprehended in Grate on the 10th. Garen
Brothy, an old man of 80, of high parliamentary
leputatlon in Hungary, has also been' arrested,
and condemned to death. Betithy, for a aeries
of dietr, was always at the head of the
radical opposition, and a strenuous separatist. Be
was one of the best speakers in the Diet after March,
to which he was elected, In spite of all the exertions
of the Austrian party ; and his powers of sternum were
much !eared by his adversaries. He was one of those
under %whose wings the greatness of Kossuth was
hatched. He was oommisaoner in the Blake, and
behaved le.rth much severity.
The Pew er Zeitung conttios, for a wonder, no
executions. Therein are given the regulations for the
I new gendarme ?e, which posses no remarkable
'feature.
The Breslau Gat'ette announce*, in a correspond-
ence from Vienna, c'ated October 11, that the quon-

NEW SOUTH WALES. —We have received
Sidney journals to June 30, and those from Maitland
to June 27.
A large public meeting, held at Sidney, on the 18th
of June, to petition the Queen to remove Earl Grey
fr un office, and to pray that responsible government
may be granted to the colony, was attended by. a
large masa of people of all ranks and classes in
society, and the proceedings were conducted in the
most orderly and peaceable manner.
The resolutions pasted were as follows :
1. That, considering the arbitrary and faithless manner fa
which this colony has been treated by the Richt Hon. Bari
Orey, this meeting most humbly. prays ter Majesty to re-
move that nobleman from her Majesty's counsels
2. That it is indispensable to the well being of this colony,
and to the satisfactory conduct of its affairs, that its govern-
ment should no longer be administered by th, remote, ill-
informed, and irresponsible Colonial-office, but by ministers
chosen front, and responsible to the colonists themselves, in
accordance with the principles of the British constitution.
3. That this meeting having unanimously egreed to the
preceding two resolutions, the following humble address to
her moat excellent Majesty the Queen, embodying them, be
adopted. and that such address be signed by the chairman
on behalf of the meeting.
[The address was a mere transcription of the resolutions,
placed in the ordinary form.]
4. That considering the discourtesy shcwn by his ex.
(*Bendy the governor to the former meeting and to its de-
putation, this meeting abstains from appointing a deputation
to wait tipm his excellency with the preceding rrsolutiens
sad address, but requests the chairman to transmit them to
his, with a written request that his excellency will be
pleased to forward it to her Majesty the Queen for he gra-
cious elesidcration.
With teference to the arrival of con. iota which
had just taken place, the Sidney liforn:'ng Herald

says
All the convicts will be removed from the ship this morn-
ing. They have all been engaged. In addition to those
previously mentiencd, a large di aft was sent to Peramatta
on Saturday, under engagement to Mr. Fragersld, M.C. ;
Mr. Lawson, and other gentlemen. The forty-flee sent to
Moreton Boy were forwarded at the expense of the govern-
ment, not being under any engagement, but merely sent tO
the district in order that the settlers there may have the op-
portunity of hiring them. All the rest have been taken
from the shin at the expense of the. employers. We believe
that the only restriedons are that the men shall not be
landed its Sydney, and that they shall not be employed in
the county of Cumberland.
An "Address of Confidence," repbdiating the " vote
of censure," had been voted to Sir Charles A. Fitaroy.
A bill bad been brought in and read a fitst time in
the Legislative Assembly for the appointment of the
