MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Tiro o'Clnek.—As might be expected, the com-
pulsory return of the government partially to the
dictates of common sense in dealing with credit and
currency, has produced a certain wildness of reaction
among the professional speculators of the Stock
Exchange. From being all sellers of stocks and
shares, which had been the ruling mania for months,
I the market suddenly became all buyers. Stock
values advanced upon the rush nearly 3 per cent., and
are now sobering down to the more moderate propor-
tions of enhanced prices, which, in view of improved
credit, they are entitled to command. Consols, which
yesterday ran up to nearly 841, receded at the first
quotations this morning to 834 to 1 for account; for
money 82 to 34. They have since descended to,
and now are, 821 to 3 for time, and 82? to 4 for
money. Reduced Threes, 811- to t. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 821 to a. Exchequer Bills, 20s. to
15e. discount. Bank Stock, 184 to 7.
We quote foreign stocks with little alteration, and
almost without dealings. Belgian Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. are 87 to 9; Brazilian, 74 to 76 ; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 33 to 4; the Fours,
82 to 3; Mexican, 17 to ; Portuguese, 20 to 2;
Spanish Fives, 17 to 1; the hrees, 271 to 1.
Advice's from Frankfort of the 21st instant, notify
that on the opening of the exchange there was an
active demand for public securities, but towards the
close of the market, on the receipt of intelligence
from l'uris of a decline in the Reutes, and of the
failure of the bank of Liverpool here, the buyers be-
came discouraged, and prices went down. The
Three per Cent. internal Spanish stock receded from
23 to 241.

RAILWAYS.—Our share market is not so good
tc-day. The advance in prices of yesterday has not
been maintained. Great Northerns are nearly 6

PRODUCE.—MINCINO-LANE, Half-past
The public sales of Sugar, consisting of 1,500 bags Bengal,
1,700 bags damaged Manilla. and 650 baskets Java, have
gone off steadily, but without any material alteration in
prices. The importers allowed 7 per tent interest, being an in.
crease of 1 per cent. on the customary allowance ; but the
importer. of the Mauritius refused to make any alteration
in the public sales yesterday, and the present rate must not
he considered as a general rule. The refined market is firm.
hut not active.—The Coffee sales are progressing steadily.—
In other articles no alteration, but there is lea disposition
shown to purchase largely than yesterdar. The attendance
in the market was thin, as frequently occurs on a Wednes-
day.

TALLOW.

it has at length ipterpessei

in favour of commerce. Of this, then, we may be certain,
that the appearances of the last few days must, in the
opinion of government, have been most alarming, to induce
them to step forward, after having gazed for the last six
weeks, ia spite of remoristranees and petitions innumerable,
if not with unconcern, at least without effect, while the
giant forms of mighty firms were struggling for existence.
Whatever may be said as to the appropriateness of the time
selected by government for their interference, no differeses
of opinion exists as to the propriety of the measnro
itself; the object of which seems to be to oat
such houses u are perfectly solvent to carry on
their business; but on such terms as not to induce
them to extend their operations. In our market it was hailed
as a great boon ; and Tallow, which at the time of its an-
nouncement was looking down, immediately advanced 6d. per
cwt. • and now that the clouds that have so long hung over the
trade, compelling the manufacturer to confine his attention
to the mere question of his daily wants, have, in some
measure, dispersed, he will do well to look abroad co the
prospects that lie before him. If to the present stock we
add what is on the way from St. Petersburg, we shall Bad
that it exceeds by 8,000 casks the corresponding items of last
year, while our price is 6s. per cwt. lower than in 1846. The
Petersburg supply is variously estimated at from 130,000 to
140,000 casks *gaunt 114,000 casks lut yew. But even should
the latter prove to be the correct version, we very much
doubt whether more than the former quantity will be de-
spatched. For by advice* received yesterday, we learn that

the trade had been completely paralised by the announcement
of the failure of two houses connected with St. Petersburg,
which occurred in London shout the close of last month.
Some idea of the extent to which credit had been effected,
may be formed when we state that, while during the three
days preceding the arrival of this unfortunate information
5,000 casks had been sold, doling the four day. subsequent to
it only 100 casks had changed hands, Ere confidence can
be re-established, the news of a enn.iderable fall in the price
of Tallow on this side will reach Petersburg, which will be
followed, post after post, by constantly declining markets;
and the approach of the Russian winter, with the chance of
vessels being caught in the ice at Cronstadt, will, in the pre.
sent state of money, prose another and a very strong de-
tearer to purchasing. Assuming then that 130,000 casks will
be shipped, after allowing for the foreigners taking
17,500 casks this
_year against 11,280 casks last, we
find that Great Britain will receive about 10,000
casks more than in 184.3. On the other hand we have
had no pigs' fat or lard this year from St. Petersburg, white
last year we lad 5,000 casks. To the shortness of the home
supply, and the unusually small stock of manufactured
goods with which the trade commenced the season, it will be
enough that we now merely allude, having from the fint
drawn the attention of our readers to the subject, and from
time to time furnished the most irrefragable proofs. New
York, which has of late years supplied France and Liver-
peel with large quantities of Tallow, will have none to ex-
port this season, so that the deficiency front that quarter may
be safely set against any quantity that can be reasonably ex-
pected from South America. It now only remains that we
nuke our calculation of the probable stock of Tallow in
London, on the Ist Jars., 1848:

CORN.—Maas-LANE.—The receipts of all deecrip-
tioas of grain and Flour since Monday have been very mode-
rate, with the exception of loreign Wheat, of which about
T 2,000 qrs. have come to bend, consistiag for the most part of
secondary and inferior qualitiso. The relief afforded to the
money market has tended to give a firmer feeling to the trade;
but the amount of business transacted in Mark-lane this
morning was small, and ail articles must be quoted the same
as last market day.

CiRENCESTEit, Oct. 25.-Our market continues fairly
supplied with Wheat, which has a downward tendency; sales
are limited, at a reduction of Is. per qr. The demand for
Barley is dull, at a decline of 2s. int. qr. Oats are worth
quite 11.1 much money. Beans also support late rates.
Wheat, 121. 10s. to 141. per load. Barley, 275. to 31e. Oats,
235. tq 335. Beans, 50s. to 58s. per qr.
Hammon, 0ct.25.-Oursupplies of corn to-day was rather
short, though the attendance was pretty good. The trade
in Wheat and Barley very dull, and lower ; for the former
fully lc ; the latter, 2s. But few Beans and Peas on offer,
1 and late prices barely supported.
Hrr.i., Oct. 26.-During the past week only a very
limited business has been done in any article of the trade.
At to-day's market we had another short supply of Wheat
from the farmers, and but week's prices were fully supported.
Transactions in foreign only limited. So little business in
any kind of spring. Corn we can quote no alteration
in any particular article. Rye Meal has not been so
free sale during the week, but we are looking for
an improved demand. The arrivals of Linseed, until
yesterday, were small, and the arrivals of that day arc
not likely to press on the market. Prices are we .1
supported. Linseed Cakes in good demand. Nothing
doing in Rapeseed, and Rape Cakes rather dull at our quota-
tions. The following arc our quotations: Wheat, red, 525.
to 541. ; new, 525. to 565. ; white, tils. to 58s. ; new, 51s. to
565.; Dantsic, 58s. to 600.; Lower Baltic and Hamburg,
48e. to 545. Barley, malting, 325. to 345.; grinding, 30s.
to 325. Oats, Danish, 183. to 203. ; Russian, 19s. to 21s.
Beans, 444. to 48.. ; foreign, 38s. to 41s. Peas, white and

ing,
501. Rapeseed, per 10 qrs., 271. 10s. to 281. Linseed
Cakes, English, per ton, 11/. ss. to 111. 10s. • foreign,
91. la. to 101. 15s. Rape Cakes, 120 s. Imports from the
16th Oct. to the 22nd Oct., inclusive: Wheat, 3,314 qn.;
Barley, 610; 0at5,1,070; Beans, 813 ; Peas, 224; Tares' 101;
Linseed, 531; Rapeseed, 420; Linseed Cakes, 62; Rape
Cakes, 62.

LEEDS, Oct. 26.—We are moderately supplied with all
grain. The decline noted in Mark-lane has but little effect
upon our Wheat trade, and prices for all descriptions are
fully maintained. Barley sells slowly at late rates. The
sale for Beans is very limited, at a reduction of Is. per qr.
Other articles as last quoted. Arrivals for the week Wheat,
6,701 qrs. ; Oat', 900 ; Barley, 1,328 ; Beans, 318 ; Lin-
seed, 249.
Lawn, Oct. 28.—We had but little doing to-day, end
none inclined to purchase any description of grain beyond
their immediate wants. Wheat, white, per load, 12!. to 13!.;
red, 111. 101 to 12!. Barley, per qr.. 32e. to Ms. Oats, 21s.
to 235. Beans, 435. to 445. l'em, 38s. to 401.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 28.—The entries into this port since
the 19th inst. include a better supply of Grain and Oatmeal,
coastwise and from Ireland, than NO have received in any
single week thence for some time past. We have also to
note from abroad a tolerably good enlargement of Wheat,
Indian Corn, and Corn Meet, with 2.5,492 barrels of Flour.
In the United States, however, supplies on the seaboard an
reported to be light, and prices too high, compared with
oars, to encourage immediate shipments. Haying a full
attendance of English and several Irish buyers at our Corn
Exchange to-day, the trade for most leading articles exhi-
bited a firm aspect. English and foreign Wheats were
in good request at the extreme rate, of this day week,
and :prime samples of Irish new, being scarce, commanded
higher prices. States and Canadian Flour, uaon • lively
and extensive demand, readily maiatained our last soots-
tions; home-made and Irish remaining =varied. Malting

Barley and Malt, by submitting to a decline of Is. per qr.

the turn dearer. Beans and Peas, though not taken freely,
remained steady in value. flood melding Oats and Oatmeal,
upon a mederate demand, barely supported the reduced

inquiry. Indian Corn, meeting an increasing demand, the
transactions therein this morning were considerable;
all qualities realising 6d. to Is. per quarter over last Tues-
day's currency, and Indian Meal the quotations of Friday.

LYNN, Oct. 26.—A moderate supply of Wheat and
Barbs hero to day—the conuition of the former much
affected by the wet weather, and it was heavy sale at •
dedinc of 2a. per qr. Batley woo freely taken at Is. per qr.
below the prices of last week. Scarcely any other grain at
rr.arket. Wheat, GOlbs. to GI lta., 465. to 4Ss. ; fine, 50s. to
525. ; white, .51.. Barley, best runs, 325. ; fine, 335.
rLYMOUTH, Oct. 26.—At this morning's market, but very
little business was transacted. Farmers and merchants hold
wheats at late prices, whilst a fall in Flour to 42e. deters
millers from tu)ing mole than for immediate use.
•

SaLisuunr, Oct. 2G.-Very little Wheat sold, compared
to the quantity offered ; that disposed of was at a decline of
fully 2s. per qr. ; the best white IVheat making but 555. per
qr.; red, 531. to 545.; inferior samples, 489. to 50s. Barley
in good supply, yet hut little sold until a reduction of from
Is. to 29. per qr. was agreed to be taken. Oats not much
in request, the little sold at about the terms of last week.
Beans, the best English new, 50.. to 625. per qr. ; fine
foreign, old, ii&s. White boiling Peas a trifle lower.
SPALDIXO, Oct. 2G.-Very little animation in the corn
trade at this ils)'s market. There appears to be a want of
buyers, in the absence of merchants, to take of the Wheats
which the millers cull. The best samples of Wheat sold
slowly, at a decline of 25., to the millers. Inferior Corn, at
fis. less money, but not so much pressing as last week. Oats
rather ceder to buy. New Beans, 445. to 465.; old, Uls. to
665. per qr. of 38,b. Bread, 41b. loaf, 41d. to 64d.
Newny, Oct. 25.-We have to-day to report a dull
market, but prices may be quoted without alteration from
those given in our last, while the supplies from the farmers
continue fair. Wheat sells at from 91. Gd. to 10s. per cwt.
Barley, 6s. 9d. to 7a. 93. Oats, 103. per atone, for best
quality. Oatmeal, machine-manufactured, remains at 13s.
per cwt.; and Indian Cora Meal at 99. ; while barrels sell at
16s. 3d. each ; and American Flour at 28s. 6d.
DCNDALK, Oct. 25.-There was a good supply of Corn
forward to-day, which met a dull sale, at Is. to 2.. per bar-
rel decline in Wheat, 63. to Is. in Oats, and Gd. hi Barley ;
rates being, for red Wheat, per barrel, 234. to 265. ; white,
255. to 275. Barley, 13s. to 169. Oats, lls. to 12s.

DANTZIC, Oct. 18.—Of old Wheat 300 qrs. have been
bought at 525. for Holland; and at 545. a fine lot for local
consumption. Among the supplies of this day's market
were 400 qrs. new Wheat. There was also a lot of fair high
mixed, 591 b., held at 31%., and 50s. offered ; and only 120 qrs.,
56ib. to 571 b., sold at 461., the remainder being left unsold,
as purchasers were unwilling to meet the sellers' demands.
Of Peas we have had no supplies further ; the whole quan-
tity that has reached us during this month does not exceed
400 qrs. ; and that of new Wheat sold during that period not
1,000 qrs. •

Mausatt.trs, Oct. 20.—We have nothing new to notice
in our corn market, prices remain the same as last quoted to
you, with little doing for Wheat on the spo ; some pur-
chases have been made for future delivery, but without any
advance in prices.
Rome', Oct. 21.—Our supplies have hitherto been so
small, and the demand so great, that prices have risen again,
and we now willingly pay 465. to 471. per qr., f.0.b., for our
fine Wheats.

CHEESE.—WARMINSTER FAIR, Oct. 26.—Be-
tween two and three hundred tons pitched, three-fourths
mode in Somerset, and of very superior flavour and quality.
Some prime picked Cbeddcr went at ids. per cwt.; some
very good at GSA. to 705.; inferior at 665.; some superior
truckle Somerset", equal to the best Chedder, made 725. to
745. ; good do., 68,. to 700. ; double red and yellow Somer-
set, (made from new milk twice per day), from 60s. to Gels. ;
single, 58s. to 606 ; beat half Cowards, 40.. to•s4s. ; moderate,
445. to 465.; poor, 40s. to 425.; best skimp, from 31s. to 3Gs.;
poor and common, from 28s. to 325. We observed Cheese
from some very choice dairies make from 2s. to 4s. per cwt.
more money than the generality of that present.

:‘IANUFACTUREEL—HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 26.
Our Piece-hall has been very quiet to-day, but the joint
letter of the prime minister and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer seems to have raised tho hopes of some, and all►yed
the fears of others. Things, it is to be hoped, will take a
turn for the better.

WOOL.—HUDDERSPIELD, Oct. 26.—There has
been a very still market for Wool, and all partiis seem
anxious to see the new purchases from Lyndon before
operating here. Old stocks will have to meet the exigencies
of the times, which will be a considerable reduction in
price.

CATTLE, &C.—ASIICORNE FAlR.—This fair was
pretty well supplied, and good as well as useful Horses of all
descriptions were sold at high prices. Those of the second-
class were rather worse done than at previous fairs. The
fair for store cattle was inferior as regards numbers and
quality, and sales were flat, owing, probably, to the failure
of the turnip crop and the scarcity of grass. The show of
fat cattle was not large, and, there being plenty of customers,
it sold readily. There was not so large a number of Rams
shown ass usual, while in store Ewes and Lambs we had a
plentiful supply. Useful store Ewes sold well; Limbs were
flat sale. But few fat Sheep were offered, which met with
ready sale. Beef made from old. to 6d. Slue? from Gd. to
61d. per lb.

MATLOCK FAIR, Oct. 23.—At this fair there was a large
supply of horned cattle of all descriptions, the inferior sort
being far more promincLt. Calving Cows of early note were
in demand at prices varying from 141. to 161. Ifu. Barrens,
for winter feeding, went off slowly at moderate prices. The
few fat Beasta that were exhibited barely realised 7a. per st.
of 141ba. There was also a fair show of store Sheep of all de-
scriptions, but very few met purchasers. In pigs there was also
a large supply, in wbicb there was a brisk sale. The show
of Horses very meagre, mostly Irish, which were disposed of
freely at better prices, and the few good cart Horses sold
weil. Altogether, this fair was well attended, considering
the great depression in trade. _

Sr. I vu, Oct. 25.—There was • good supply of fat Beasts
to-day ; market dull. There was • very large supply of
good store Beasts, which went off rather dull. The Wheat
trade to-day very dull, with a further decline of from Is. to
2s. cheaper than lest week's market.

WARMINSTER FAIR, Oct. W.—There were between 20,000
and 30,000 Sheep for tale, chiefly South Downs (last veer,
17,000 only). Trade was animated. Mr. Romsey, West
Moyle, sold Ewes at 345. each ; Mr. Phillips, Monkton De-
verill, 335. ; Mr. Miller, Chute, 295. ; Mr. Lush, War-
minster, finest stock Lambs in the fair, 30s. each ; Mr. Parfit,
Mere, good Lambs, 233. Moons. Rose, of Mere; Rawlings,
of Nunnery; Coles, of Norridge ; Jelferiee, of Rye-hill;
Compton, of White Cliff; M. Drew, Whitton Priory; Mason,
of Norton Bavant ; Jupe, of Mere Down ; Hank, of litre"'
bury; Matthews, Gillingham; Chapman, Tytherton ; J.
Scott, of B. Deverill ; Bedford, Warminster, &c., &e., had
pens of very tine Sheep for sale. Sheep varied materially, both
to size and price, some Lambs making but 13s. each, while
others reached 30s. Ewes, from 21s. up to 345. each.
Wcthers, from 28s. up to 40s. each. Half-bred Sheep
varied nearly as much, as did the few horned Dorset Sheep.
There were some Rams and Item Lambs, which sold at from
21. 6s. to W. each. So eager were some of the purchasers to
buy that they met the drovers, and purcharel many before
they reached the fair-field; and before the fair was over
nearly all were sold, at an advance over Weyhill fair of from
21. to 41. per head. Mr. Coles, of Nerridge, had the finest
fat Lambs, for which he refused 425. each. Mr. Stride had
the next finest ; 40s. was offered. A considerable number of
fat Hereford and Devon fat Beasts were for sale, which sold
readily at from 10s. ed. to 11s. per score. Fat and inferior
Cows, 103. to 10s. 3d. Lean Oxen were not so readily die-
, posed of, yet trade was decidedly improving, a better price
Iby 101 per head being given than at Weyhill. Good Cows
and Heifers, in-calf or with a calf, sold also at higher prices,
with a fair demand.

LONDON, W EDNESDAY, OCT. 27.

HUNTING an overseer is no doubt capital fun;
running down an attorney in the same burst makes
it still better. The public is not likely to be troubled
with excessive sympathy for one or the other. The
one is associated with rates, the other with law costs
and peremptory letters. They have both been recog-
nised butts for embarrassed play-wrighta, and small
wits, for years. An attorney's bill is so often extor-
tionate that the world is slow to believe that such a
document can be reasonable. Overseers contract so
much at once of the jack-in-office and the screw, from
the all bat inevitable influence of their functions, that
the public is as little likely to be just in their behalf
as a farmer's boy in dealing with rooks, or school
urchins with a toad. Both the races, in fact, have a
bad name. They are the pari the of professional and
parochial life. They stand, in popular opinion, on an
odious equality with that persecuted being, the tax-
gatherer.
Of course, as in all prejudices against classes, there
is monstrous injustice perpetrated under the shadow
of this ill opinion, We must disagree with our con-
temporaries, so far as to regret an exhibition of this
injustice in Mr. *CHRISTIE'S recent onslaught on
the overseers and vestry-clerks of the City parishes.
Under the Registration Act, 6 arid 7 let., c.
there are two clauses saddling the overseers with
certain duties. The sth clause enacts that they shall
make out lists of claimants of votes; the 13th
that they shall make out, or rause to be
made out, lists of persons entitled to vote
in the election of members of parliament. This
act was passed in 1613. Since that time it has
been the practice in the City for the overseers to call
in the aid of the vestry clerk in the preparation of
these lists. Hitherto the revising barrister has al-
lowed the expenses thus incurred. This year, for
the first time we believe, Mr. *CHRISTIE, whose
furious zeal we duly honour, though " on this side
idolatry," has run a-muck against the unhappy over-
seers and amazed vestry clerks alike, disallowing in
all cases the expenses of the latter, and cutting down
the bills of the former to the narrowest limits of in-
dispensable outlay, such as for printing, &c.
No wonder the vestry-clerks are wroth. No wonder
the public enjoy their vexation. A battled attorney
is too rare game to be let slip easily. No wonder
that journalists, catering for public amusement, cheer
on Mr. M'CIIRISTIE in his new sport of attorney-baiting,
and stick their " bandarillas into the infuriated
victim under shelter of the revising barrister's more '
potent " esparto."
All we have to say is, that there is a possibility that
Mr. *CRISTIE may be erring as much on the side of
over-strictness in his construction of the act, as his
predecessors on that of over-laxity.
The preparation of these lists is a difficult and dis-
agreeable duty. For many of the parishes, the ex-
penses of whose lists were disallowed, it would I
require at least a fortnight's hard work to get
together and verify claims, to receive and make out
lists of objections, to grant, and attend the inspections
required by the act, and to make the minute and
lengthy inquiries which most of these duties render
necessary. Many of these functions, moreover
cannot be discharged without great expenditure of
money as well as time, which it seems hard to lay
upon unpaid officers who have already more regular
parochial duty than they can properly fulfil. Besides,
in the cases in question, the vestry clerks had been set
to work by the parish. Again, it is quite open to
dispute bow far the Registration Act contemplates a
personal preparation of the lists by overseers. The
sth clause enacts, it is true, that they shall make out
lists of claimants. B ut the 13th clause contains the words,
"make out or cause Gibe made out" lints of persons already
entitled to vote. It would appear, therefore, that the
framers of the act conceived that other hands might
be employed than those of the overseers themselves,
at least in the latter department of their labour.
We do not maintain, be it borne is mind by our
readers, that Mr. M'Crinisne has not turned up a
rich field of jobbery to the light of day. We can
easily conceive, from the general character of paro-
chial arrangements, that the vestry clerks' charges
were exorbitant in many instances. Nor do we hold
that the readiness of the parish to pay these bills
says much for their reasonableness. But Mr.
1114,"uaistre goes the length of maintaining that the
actual work of preparing the lists is imposed by law
on the overseers themselves. If the law means this,
Mr. M'Cittetsvis is right • but the law, as it
appears to us, is wrong. The work of preparing
these lists, involving much knowledge of legal forms,
and the rare power of understanding an act of parlia-
ment, is sure to be ill done if done by the overseers.
Fining these functionaries (another practice in which
MT. NPCIIRISTIE has shown an inhuman and gleeful
alacrity) is rather a cruelty, if they are to be deprived
of professional assistance in their registration duties.
We cannot but conclude from experience, alike
under Mr. ARNOLD'S milder sceptre and the reign of
terror of Mr. *CHRISTIE, the ROBESPIERRE of revis-
ing barristers, that this preparation of the lists both
of claimants and voters, is one of the points
in which a reform in the Registration Act
is desirable. The time of the public, the parochial
officers, and the barrister, would be saved, and much
vexation spared to all parties concerned, if the lists
were made out by an officer specially appointed for
the purpose. This reform might be connected with
another, the necessity of which is made more appa-
rent every year. At present the most futile rounds
are enough to provoke a notice of objection. In
many cases the mere anticipation that the person ob-
jected to may, by indifference or accident, fail to sup-
post his claim, Is enough to induce an active elec-
tioneering partisan to serve the bare notice of objec-
tion which ths act requires. A voter has the vexation

of an attendance before the barrister to support a
claim which there is no good pretext for
impugning, or the still greater annoyinee of for-
feiting his vote bectuse he was not present to
answer objections which he knew were not worth
answering. This feature of our registration law is
not more absurd in theory than troublesome and mis-
chievous in practice. It encourages frivolous objec-
tions, and removes good votes from the register. Bat
if the officer appointed to prepare the lists, exercised
a sort of preliminary scrutiny into the grounds of ob-
jection, this misckief might be considerably lessened,
while the lists themselves would be more rapidly and
correctly compiled.
There are plenty of legal practitioners to furnish
the staff required for such a purpose. Their remune-
ration, like that of the revising barristers, should be
fixed. The expense, which could not be serious,
should not fall on the pariah, but the Consolidated
Fund.

We throw out the hint to registration reformers.
We de not think it desirable that such exhibitions as
Mr. M'CliniAm's attorney-scalp-dance should be re-
peated. The public may laugh, but a large and
respectable body of professional men is insulted' and
butt by them. There is a cheap popularity to be
won by such economising as the City revising bar-
rister has so largely indulged in, which is apt to in-
toxicate. It would be better to remove any question-
able display of reforming zeal, by getting rid of the
state of things which provokes, and, to general appre-
hension, justifies it. If overseers are to de the work
of the registration lists with their own hands, it
cannot be well done. If it is to be well done, it is
hard to punish the overseers for failing in a duty for
which they have not the requisites themselves, and in
which they are not allowed to call in better qualified
persons to assist them.

THERE is much fuss and agitation about the affaii 8
cf S witzcrland. We are promised nothing less than
a war there—a winter campaign —although Switzer-
land is, perhaps, the moat unfit and unlikely field for
such in all the world—a campaign that is to vie in
interest with General Scoffs march to Mexico.
Drums are beating, trumpets sounding, generals and
staffs appointed, at least in the journals, and there is
a fevensh expectation of a great battle, the fate of
which is to overthrow either the radicals or the Jesuits.

Notwithstanding all this parade and noise, we hare
no sort of faith in this war, which will probably be
carried on, as heretofore, upon paper; for the written
speeches of the members of the Diet are themselves
but paper bullets. We see, as the great crisis
approaches, each party, hitherto so precise and so
&dant, abate gradually of its fierce demands, so that
by the time the trumpet cloth sound there will bo
little to fight for. The radicals and the executive,
which now command a majority, instead of
insisting any longer on the points for which
the quarrel originated, very shrewdly give
up these points. They do not want to change
the government, however bigoted, of the recalcitrant
state. They do not want to infringe the cantonal
sovereignty, nor to expel the Jesuits. They merely
want to dissolve the hostile league of the Sonderbund,
the imperiuni of the catholic cantons, in the
imperio of the confederation. The Sonderbund can
have no difficulty in consenting to this, as soon as it is
well assured of the sincerity of the other professions.
It still expresses its doubts, however, by refusing to
receive the address of the Diet.

Of what use could be this war? Suppose the
radicals and the Bernese triumphant, or, what is the
same thing, suppose the Lucerners made no resistance ' -
for it is against Lucerne that liberal wrath is kindled.
The troops of the confederation take possession of
Lucerne. What then ? If M. OCIISENBEIN or Gen.
DUFOUR were NARVAEZ or ZURIIANO, they might in-
deed effect some change by shooting all the chiefs of the
hostile party and frightening the mass. But the Swiss
cannot do this. They cannot rough-ride over the vil-
lages of the Lueerners, and force them to t lect liberals
at the point of the bayonet. A new election would be
the same as the old—much what a general election
' would be in Ireland after repeal : it would pro-
duce a representative assembly of the greatest
blockheads and the blindest bigots that could be col-
lected in the four quarters of the globe.
The Jesuits, bad as they are, are perhaps the most
sensible men of the ultra-catholic party in Lucerne.
To drive them away would merely leave the manage-
ment of state and education in the hands of the
Amman's and the Len's, peasants with far more bigotry.
and cruelty than the Jesuit or any other ecclesiastic
It still expresses its doubts, however, by refusing to
receive the address of the Diet.

There is no mode whatever of liberalising the
retrograde cantons, but by revising the Pact, modi-
fying local independence, and creating a general
representative assembly with some central powers.
But against this, not only Prince NlErrEauten and
M. GUIZOT, but Lord PALMERSTON protests. Even
the writer of those most able letters on Switzerland in
the Spectator, which give so clear and fair a history
of the quarrel, shrinks from the revision of the Pact,
as if it were a heresy. We repeat, that without this
revision, we may leave Switzerland where we found
it, in its moral and political winding-sheet.
The congress of sovereigns, when it decreed that
each canton of Switzerland should have separate and
distinct sovereignty, saw very well what they were
establishing. They were neutralising Switzerland
as a political, or a military, or an intellectual power.
A common sentiment, a national army, a general
system of education, a mutual understanding
for improvement, were all denied them. It was
decreed that they should remain what they were,
knots of citizens here, docks of peasants there, but
without a public or a capital, a concentration of
mind, of purpose, or of power, that would give
offence or cause disquiet to dozy Austria or
insidious France. In vain do the Swiss
strive to break through their cantonal fetters.
They evidently cannot do so ; and were they
likely to do so, the dull Croat and the mercurial
Frenchman, equally the blind slaves of despotism,
would march to prevent them. For all their vapour-
ing, the Swiss see this, and have no wish to provoke
an intervention not only galling but expensive. They
perfectly understand the Joint artillery of the Journal
des Ikbals and the .lugsbury Gazette. And therefore,
much as we pity and admire the Swiss liberals, and
much as we contemn the insincere and cowardly
bullying of France, we see no reason to fear a civil
war, or indeed anything more than the usual ma-
nceuvring and drawing forth of protocols and ad re-
fercndunis.

The congregation of Roman Propaganda has for-
mally denounced the embryo Irish colleges, and, we
are sorry to say, that Pope Pius THE NINTH has given
his sanction to the bind edict. It is very far,
however, from Rome to Ireland, and both Pope and
Propaganda look, no doubt, through Irish ecclesiasti-
cal spectacles. The Propaganda, however, in con-
demning the Irish colleges, is frank enough to confess
what it wants in lieu of them. It wants neither
more nor less than an Irish Louvain.

Ireland truly wants bat this, in order to be the
very paradise of discord. Louvain University has
been, and is still, the very bonfire of Belgium. It
has raised a riot round it permanently, ever since its
re establishment. 'Twas it, that drummed the King
of HOLLAND out of the country. Nor is the university
more pacific since catholicity reigns undisturbed.
During Dutch ascendancy, Louvain was the centre
of catholic opposition. Since the accession of LEOPOLD,
it is the centre of bigoted, ignora Han, ecclesiastical
toryism, in its war against liberal catholicism. Louvain
has made ministries, but has at last so thoroughly
disgusted the Belgian public by the intolerance and
illiberalism of their tendency, that " dstrn with the
priests and Louvain has been the universal cry of
catholic Belgium—the cry that prevailed in the last
elections.

Government, however, should defy Pope and pre-
lates, by putting in operation the Irish colleges, and
proving their worth to the middle classes, which
arc prone to act independently of ecclesiastic
dictation. The presidents and vice-presidents have
been appointed, and the building of the Cork College
has been actually begun, but it is said that at least
three years must elapse before the new colle-
giate system will be at full work. We do not
see why the classes of the students might not be
formed next spring, and temporary accommodation
provided until the colleges be completed. By defer-
ring for three years the formation of classes, a vast
number of the growing youths of the country
will be practically excluded from the advantages
of the new academical system, nor do we the
so highly of the wisdom or knowledge of the Yoov-
Irelanders, as to wish to see at-lOrge
rising generation of Irishmen'

presidents the propriety of reconsidering their reso-
lution not to form their classes until the buildings
shall be completed.
Government certainly made an excellent choice of
officers, when it nominated Sir Rouzser KANE and
Doctors KIRIA'AM and HENRY to the presidencies of
the new colleges. The selection of vice-presidents has
been almost equally happy. Dr. RYALL, the Vice-
President of the Cork College, during his recent
inspection of the buildings, was for the first
time introduced to the community with which his
career is now cast, and it augurs well for the pros-
perity of the new college at Cork, that he made the
most favourable impression on his future fellow-citi-
zens. His well-earned reputation, uan educator at
Birmingham, with his manly and attractive character,
will go far to obtain public confidence in the institu-
tion of which he will have the joint direction with
Sir ROBERT Kase, There is a laran' snit wealthy
protestant population in Cork ; and OA government
chose a distinguished catholic in Sir ROBERT KANE,
for the presidency, it was only right to conciliate pro-
testant support by the choice of a learned member of
the Church of England like Dr. RYALL.
The success of the new colleges in Ireland is an
object on which the best hopes of the most judicious
friends to Ireland are fixed. Now, for the first time,
is a vigorous effort being made to rouse the dormant
intellect, and bring into action the mental powers, of
the Irish catholics. Its sectarian character, a. well as
other causes, prevented Trinity College, Dublin, from
being instrumental in educating the catholics ; and
even, for the protestant middle classes, the line
of studies pursued at that university was not well
adapted. The great fault in all efforts at education
in Ireland was in not considering the actual circum-
stances of the country. The Kildare-place Societe
exhibited an amount of enthusiasm, only to be
equalled by its fanatical anxiety to proselytise the
peasantry. It was ready to give poor PAT plenty
of instruction, on the simple condition that he
should follow religions practices disapproved of
by his church. In vain was protestant eloquence
displayed for education in Ireland, while its partisan
character negatived its well-meant but most errone-
ously planned efforts. The middle classes, both
catholic and protestant, have been left hitherto to the
desultory teaching of volunteer instructors. The
minds of the intelligent youth in Ireland have not
been subjected to the chastening and invigorating
process of systematic academical culture.
-

The sooner that the new colleges are brought
into action, the better it will be for the growing
class of young Irishmen. There is at Cork at
large institution formerly supported by the go-
vernment, but which now exists is a very
declining state. We should be glad to see
the library and museum of this " Itoyal Cork
Institution" handed over to the new college. The
history of this institution is worthy of special notice.
It was originally founded some thirty years since by
the spiritual exertions of a presbyterian clergyman,
the Rer. TnomAs lIINDEq, an admirable man, who
exercised in his day a most valuable influence, and
who, in advanced years, survives to see the benefits
resulting from his well-spent life. By the exertions
of this gentleman, government was indaced to vote
annually the sum of 2,:i00/. for the support of this
Cork Institution. Lectureships were founded, and
professors of the various sciences appointed. By the
charter of incorporation a large portion of the funds
were applied to agricultural instruction.
- -

But tho institution comparatively failed. It was
directed chiefly for the adult population. The lec-
tures delivered were of too advanced a character for
young persons ; and men in the active pursuits of
rrovincial life, merchants, attorneys, and shopkeepers
would not leave their business to attend lectures.
The• professors were often to be seen actually can-
vassing to get together an audience. Government
saw that the institution was a failure, the grant
was discontinued, and the Cork Institution is now
supported in the very Irish fashion of " mistaking its
capital for its income," as SHERIDAN says. To sup-
ply the annual loss on maintaining the institution, a
certain portion of their funded property is sold out
by the proprietors, and it is calculated that in this
way it may drag on a miserable and moribund exist-
ence for fourteen years more. At present, and as now
carried on, it does very little good.
The institution presents, however, the nucleus of a
fine library, and a museum. It possesses a very good
collection of casts, originally given by one of the late
Poins to GEORGE IV. There is also some philoso-
phical apparatus and miscellaneous property tun-
mutated tram the former grants so liberally made by
government. If the property of this Cork Institu-
tion, founded by public grants, were assigned in trust
to the responsible officers of the Cork College, the work-
ing of the new educational institution would be
greatly expedited. So little interest does the local
public feel in the " Cork Institution," that it has only
sonic forty sabecribers. The proprietors are tenants
of government, which has but to turn them out of
their holdings to bring a rapid ruin on the establish-
ment.
Under such circumstances, the proprietors
will probably see the wisdom as well as the necessity
of placing the library and museum in the care of the
president of the Cork College. By doing so the original
object of their institution will be attained. For it has
been found by experience, that in order to diffuse
knowledge efficaciously in Ireland you must begin
with boyhood. The character of the middle class in
Ireland is not like that in England and Scotland, en-
terprising, inquisitive, and self-relying. In order to
mould the character of the Irish population the be-
ginning must be made upon the younger portion of
the community. An adult class brought up without
an appetite for knowledge cares little for libraries or

A portion of the following appeared in our last
evening's paper :
The chief burden of our Paris tidings is Reform,
banquets in honour of which continue to be held in
the provinces, and this agitation has now acquired
dimensions too formidable to be held in contempt
or neglect by the government. M. Guizot, however,
will do nothing for reform that he can by possibility
avoid, nor indeed will any cabinet, over which the pre-
sent sovereign of France exercises an influence. It
is expected that a few administrative improvements,
and the abatement of a few of the most flagrant abuser,
will be sufficient to allay the present outcry, and to
stave off for the moment any further change.
The Union Monarchique persists in its statement of
the intentions of the Bank of France, is relation to the
approaching loan. That journal says :
The conned of the Bank of France has decided that the
bank should take part in the new loan to the extent of 21
millions. This decision was preceded by a very warm dia.
cussion. Several members maintained that it would not be
very proper or dignified for the Bank of France to take an
interest, in a degree subsidiary to a private ban king-house,
in a loan the conditions of which it had neither discussed
nor regulated. Notwithstanding these observations the
majority pronounced in favour of a subscription for the tenth
part of the loan, at whatever rate it might be taken by M.
do Rothschild, who thus remains sole master of the condi.
tions. What is remarkable is that this decision was come
to en the report of M. Ilottinguer, whose name was the
only one at first pronounced at the Bourse as likely to be at
the head of a comnany of French bankers to send in a tender
in opposition to M. do Rothschild.
The Algiers journals, which have been received to
the 20th, give the following proclamation of the Duke
d'Aumale addressed to the Arabs and liabyles :
The Duke d'Aumale, son of the King of the French, Gs-
verner-Oeneral of Algeria, to all Arabs and Kabyles, great or
small, greeting. The King of the French, whose projects
may God throw a blessing on and crown with lIICCC/14, has
confided to me the government of the kingdom of Algiers
from the frontiers of Morocco to those of Tunis. You
have learned by experience, 0 Mussulmons ! bow power-
ful and formidable is the arm of France, and how just
and clement is her government. 'You have obeyed the
immutable will of God, who gives empires to whom ever
he pleases on earth, you have made your submission
to the marshal, and you have had proofs of the kind-
ness of his government ; you must remember that he
honoured the great, protected the feeble, and was
equitable to all. Nothing shall be changed in what he
devised, and what he established shall be maintained; for he
never did other than what was well, ar.d he only acted ac-
cording to the will of the King of the French. It is the King
who ordered him to be great and generous after victory ; it
is the King who decided that your property and rehgion
should be respected, and that you should he governed by the
principal men amongst yoorselves, under the beneficent au-
thority of France; it is the Xing, whose goodness is inex-
haustible, that so often pardoned those senseless mcn who,
under the influence of perfidious counsels, broke the promise
which they had sworn to us. They have since recognised
the vanity of their efforts, and the band of God has
struck them even in the foreign land where they sought •
retainer. Return thanks to God for having given you the
riches and enjoyments of peace in exchange for the irre-
parable evils of war. It is to give you n still more marked
pledge of his good intentions that the King of the French
has sent me amongst you u his representative in this land,
which lie loves equally with France. I have already lived
amongst you; I know 'our laws and customs, and ill my
acts shall tend to augment our prosperity and that of the
Wintry. You are aware that oar word is es steadfast as our

I

force is irresistible; you have felt the terrible power of our
arms; you have appreciated, and you will continue to do so
still more every day, the benefits of our friendship.
Those amongst you who h►ve remained faithful to their
oaths have prospered, whilst such as have perjured them-
selves have suffered so many afflictions that the heart bleeds
for them. You know the only path that Cu. lead you to
happiness, and God will inspire you with wisdom to perse-
vere in it. Fsrewell.

Holiness, and that he is to proceed thence to Washington
on en extraordinary mission. The congregation of re-
vision, computed of • cardinal as head, four prelates as
councillors, and of an equal number of lay councillors, is
about to be suppressed ; the council of deputies will have
its attributions. Prince de Rovigno has been charged with
the task of drawing up a code of regulations for the navy.
Count Carlesehi has been placed at the head of the customs.
Father de Sandia, one of the most able men of the time,
who at first was a warm advocate of the cause of Italian
reform, and who afterwards embraced the opposite views,
being dreadfully annoyed by the fact of his not being able
to obtain a bishopric, has abandoned the catholic religion
and turned protestant. We have now here at Rome
M. Granier de Ceasagnac, formerly editor of the Globe, and
afterwards connected with the Epoque. It is stated that he
is charged by M. Guizot to found a French journal here, the
columns of which are to be open to all the inspirations and
views of tor, The new inurnal which is to be
°Mt". at home of the present French ministry, is to bear the
title of the Courrier de Rome.

The communication between London and Paris
will soon be still further expedited by the opening of
the Amiens and Boulogne line of railway u far u
Neste, a place within a short distance of Bou-
logne. Thu is fixed for the 13th November. Some
delay was apprehended by reason of the accident
which lately happened to the viaduct at Etaples, but
M. Friart, the government inspector, has ascertained
that the effects of this are not such as to produce
further delay.

The Madrid mails of the 20th did not arrive in
Paris on Monday.

We have letters and journals from various parts of
Italy.
The advices which arrive from Naples, proceeding
exclusively from private sources, continue to be ob-
scure, contradictory, and unsatisfactory. By collating
them there appears, however, to be reason for con-
cluding that among the advisers of the sovereign
there are some who entertain a lively conviction that
measures of political and administrative reform
alone can extricate the country from its pre-
sent couslition, and who have not hesitated
frankly and fully to express this opinion. We
reported some time since the advice given to
the crown by the minister, San Angelo, and the re-
tirement of that minister from the royal councils, in
consequence of such advice being rejecled. The same
reports are now again revived, and it is added that
the minister has reduced his proposition to a definite
form, and presented to the King a cabinet suited to
carry out his project :—Foreign Affairs and President
of the Council, the Prince of Soordia ' • Interior, San
Angelo; Justice, Parisi; Worship, Prince Compo
Franco; Finance, Bianchini ; Agriculture and Com-
merce, Prince Santa Elia ; War and Marine, Del
Carreto. The last named is an obnoxious retrograde,
but one on whose presence in the government the
King insists.
The Heidelberg Uazette of the 21st says, that at
the moment of going to press, it has received, from a
source worthy of confidence, the news that the cities
of Palermo and Messina have adopted the cause of the
insurrection, and that the royal troops in these gar-
risons have either fraternised with the people or
withdrawn. This statement must, however, be taken
with caution.
Letters quoted by Le Conuneree, dated Sienna,
16th inst., say that news had arrived there of a fresh
movement which had taken place at Messina, and
which appears to have reference to the event men-
tioned above. The insurgents had rendered them-
selves masters of the city, and obliged the troops to
retreat into the citadel. 'Die Calabrians were reported
to be still in full insusrection.
The atrocities reported to have been committed by
the Neapolitan government against the insurgents
produced so much irritation at Leghorn that the
populace attacked the office of the Neapolitan consul,
and tore down the royal arms of Naples from over the
gate, and trampled them under foot. Reparation for
this was of course demanded of the Tuscan govern-
ment.
Letters from Turin say that on the evening of the
20th M. Thaen della Torre (of the Austrian party)
resigned the governorship of Turin, and was replaced
in this important post by the popular minister, NI.
Villa Marina, whose late retirement from the ministry
of war was followed by universal regret. It was said
that in returning to office M. Villa Marina has ob-
tained the King's promise to effect several most
important reform:' among which are included a gene-
ral amnesty and freedom of journalism. Ordonnances
for these were expected soon to be promulgated.
The Italia, a Roman journal, says that it can
assert with confidence that the Austrians were to
evacuate Ferrara on the Bth, and that Cardinal
Ciacchi had entreated the citizens, in the name of his
Holiness, to abstain from any clamorous demonstra-
tion on the occasion.

How little confidence can be placed in such an-
nouncements may be collected from the fact that ad•
vices have arrived from Ferrara to the lath, which
say that instead of evacuating the city the Austrians
have doubled the posts and even outraged the inha-
bitants. A young man having passed near an Austrian
sentinel, the latter gave him a thrust of his bayonet.
A struggle ensued, in which the soldiers of the guard-
house fell upon the youth and struck him with their
swords. A priest who interposed for his protection
was also maltreated. The people, irritate?, collected
round the guard-house, and the Austrians fired on
them. On this, the people would have sounded the
tocsin and taken vengeance, but Cardinal Ciacchi in-
terposed, tranquillised them, and caused the young
man, who was severely wounded, to be taken care of.
Austrian patrols, horse and foot, overran the city
during the 13th.
Letters from Rome of the 17th announce that the
Pallas, which had been arbitrarily seized and sus-
pended, had reappeared, and liberal opinions had
triumphed. Cardinal Ferretti was expected to re-
turn on the 18th. The conditions on which the
council of state is established are freely criticised in
all circles, nor is the approbation manifested alto-
gether unqualified. The want of guarantees is com-
plained of, nor is the play of the elective principle
as free as many could have desired. The sentiment
of gratitude to the Pope is, nevertheless, so much the
more warm and unanimous, as it is known that the
original project was much more liberal, especially as
respects the control to be exercised over the budget ;
but through the intrigues and baleful influence of
diplomacy, the conditions were changed and the
whole rendered less liberal. The members were de-'
nominated deputies in the original project, instead of
couneillors, as at present.
The publication of the decree of the Pope for the
establishment of a council of state was followed, as
might have been expected, by strong demonstrations
of popular enthusiasm at Rome. The following re-
port of the proceedings wh'eli took place at Rome on
the 9th (the 15th), is taken from the Roman Adver-
tiser of the 16th :
His holiness this morning (the lath) left Rome for his
palace of Castel Gandolfo, on the lake of Albano, not to re-
main, as has been the habit of his predecessors, during the
mouth of October, for some weeks, but to return on the same
evening. His desire to reduce every personal expense
to a standard of strict economy has been the motive
of this alteration in the habits of the court, the
accustomed sojourn at Castel Gandolfo (where, only
a small and inconvenient town adjoining the palace,
all the requisites for the household had to be brought
daily from Rome) having been attended with heavy costs.
This evening, for some hours before his holiness was ex-
pected, the street. in the direction of the Porta 8. Giovanni
began to be crowded ; detachments of between 100 and 200
front each battalion of the civic guard marched towards that
gate to receive him with military honours. The crowd on
the Piazze of the Quirinal became denim as the night let in ;
the adjacent Ruspigliosi palace was illuminated, and multi-
tudes were seen lining every roof whence a view was com-
manded. The approach of the holy father was announced
by the noble guard galloping on the piazza, and the distant
shouts as he passed among the crowds lining every
street. As the chariot entered the palace, a Bengal
light was immediately kindled from the opposite roof, and
&netts< r when his holiness reappeared with the usual at-
tendants and torch-bearers on the balcony, after the lapse of
about a quarter of an hour spent by the people in constant
clapping of hands and crying of rivas. AU knelt whilst the
benediction was chanted, and the finest conceivable effect
was produced by the bursting, first cf bluish, then of deep
red light, over that vast throng and the stately group on the
balcony. At the close of the sacred ceremony the accla-
mations were prolonged and fervent, and the holy father
lingered some minutes, as if to look down with fondness on
his children, whose affection for him has proved itaelf
to be far more deeply rooted than the emotions
of an excitable multitude are commonly supp.:eed.
The publication of the edict for the council of state gave
occasion to another demonstration. The enthusiasm and con-
course of those who took torches, or attended as spectators
on the Ours of the Quirinal, was not inferior; the sublimely
beautiful effect of the whole, and the fervour of acclamations
that followed the benediction, if possible, greater than on the
former occasion. Each of the provinces was represented by
a banner bearing its name, and surmounted by a wreath of
myrtle and flowers. On a more ample standard was in-
scribed : " Consults di State comma immortal, Pia
1 X. it giorno, 15 Ottobre, 1847." Ilia Holiness appeared
much moved, and remained on the balcony some minutes
after the benediction, repeating the sacred sign over his
Pc ^Me-
llo Pope has requested that the cams subscribed
for the erection of monuments to him throughout his
states shall be applied to the more useful purpose of
erecting an asylum for aged persons at Rome, each
province having certain rights of presentation.
A correspondent of the 12th says:
The Prime de Canino is still tinder arrest in his pal ice.
It appears that proceedings are being instituted against
him. It is said that Mgr. Ferriero, who was chargi
d'affaires at the Hague, is to be sent to Constantinople
to pris.'at to the Grand Be:snior the compliments of his

A letter in a Marseilles paper states, however, that
the Pope has refused to authorise the publication of
this journal.
The Marseilles correspondent of aulignani's Mes-
senger has forwarded the following extract of a letter,
dated Florence the 19th, which has been received at
Marseilles : " The protests of the inhabitants of
Fivizano and Pontremoli, against the arrangement
with the Duke of Lucca, which transfers the former
to the Duke of Modena, and the latter to Parma,
occasion great anxiety. The people appear resolved
to oppose all attempts at possession by the troops of
Modena and Parma, and have already destroyed the
bridges and parts of the roads, to prevent the arrival
of artillery. As the Duke of Modena has only an
army of 800 men, he cannot venture upon an attempt
to subdue a population of 43,000 persons re-
solved upon a vigorous resistance, and rely-
ing upon support from Pisa, Lucca, and Leg-
horn, where the people have been excited in their
favour by popular orators. Austria will thus find
a pretext for intervention, and a easus Lelli may arise
notwithstanding the elf nts of diplomacy to effict a
friendly arrangement. The Grand Duke of Tuscany
has offered to purchase the territory of Fivizano, but
it is not supposed that Austria will permit such a
transfer, as Fivizano is in the defiles of the mountains,
and is of great importance in a strategic point of
view. You have probably heard of the insult offered
at Leghorn to the Neapolitan consul. This affair
WAS considered of sufficient importance to induce the
Count de la Rochefoncault, the French minister at the
court of Tuscany, to set out in great haste for
Leghorn."
A letter from Florence of the 18th, in a Marseilles
journal, states as a positive fact, that Lord Minto is
charged to deliver to the King of Naples the ulti-
matum of England against any intervention in the
affairs of Italy by Austria, even if demanded by the
Neapolitan government.
Letters from Milan of the 11th report a sanguinary
conflict, which took place on the night of the ith, be-
tween the Italians and the Austrians composing the
corps which attacked the people on the Bth and 9th
of September. This quarrel, it is said, originated in
the mutual reproaches which they addressed to each
other, the Italians accusing the Austrians of wantonly
shedding the blood of their countrymen, and the
Austrians reproaching the Italians with conniving at
the proceedings of the populace. In this affair five
Austrians and sixteen Italians were wounded.

The advises from Berne arc to the 22nd. The letters
and journals are filled with reports of the assembling
and marching of troops throughout the seven Catholic
cantons, and messages to a like effect were sent to the
Diet by the federal executive. Oa the night
of the 17th, Lucerne ordered its troops under
arms. The militia of that canton, of Schwytz, and
Zug, were summoned for the 19th, at noon. The
troops of the Valais had marched to reinforce those
of Uri ; an expedition from Obwald occupied the
Brunig, and preparations were made to in-
vade the Fretamt, a Catholic district of the
canton of Argon, in the expectation that
the population would rise and join the league.
In the face of these movements the canton of Zurich
demanded that the federal government should con-
cert measures of defence and not leave the cantons to
isolated and independent action. The letters from
Berne report a curious incident which occurred to
Mr. Peel, the British minister.

Yest,rday evening, the 21st, as Mr. Peel was returning
on foot from a party in the suburbs of Berne, he was rudely
stopped by a sentinel. Mr. Peel asked him if he understood
French ? Tho man replied in that !anguage that he did so
perfectly ; but in German desired the minister to follow him
to the guard-house, and there lodged him witheut any regard
to his station. Mr. Peel in vain exhibited his permit of
residence, and was detained al hours, subjected to the
insult of rude and gums language. Ile was not released
until an officer of the police tame in and recognised him.
Mr. Peel laid a complaint before the Governor of Berne, but
it was, it is said, treated very lightly by M. Ochsenbein, and
it is expected that the repreientativo of England intends to
demand a more suitable satisfaction. If it be true, but
which we continue to doubt, that the government of the
Free-Corps has found some sympathy in the representative
of Great Britain, it oust ho confessed that it answers to this
very badly ; and this simple feet is quite enough to give the
measure of the respect m which our liberals hold personal
liberty.

The cantonal government of Lucerne had refused to
receive the federal commissioner deputed by the diet
•

to attempt to effect an arrangement with the cantons
of the league. Nevertheless, the other commissioners
had departed for their respective cantons. M. J.
Fazy, who had been appointed commissioner to the
Valais, declined the mission, his presence at Geneva
being rendered necessary by the affairs of that canton.
Since the above was written, we have received a
full report of the proceedings of the cantonal govern-
ment of Lucerne, in relation to the recent measures of
the Diet. The executive council of the canton,

awaiting the arrival of the federal commissioners de-
puted by the Diet, had resole ed: Firet,That they should
be received by the Sehultheiss, in the name of the
government, who should inform them that the depu-
ties of the canton had full instructions and
power to vote and act, in the name of
the canton, on all federal questions, and
that the commissioners could not be permitted to
enter into direct communication with the cantonal go-
vernment on such matters, nor could the grand coun-
cil be convoked for that purpose ; that the circulation
of the proclamation was interdicted, and that all in-
habitants of the canton who might lend themselves to
such a purpose would be arrested and prosecuted. Se-
condly,that the commissioners should be received with
all the respect due to their office, and should be attended
by a guard of honour and an officer of ordonnance.
Thirdly, that these resolutions should be published
and communicated to the staff.

AUSTRIA.—HUNGARY.—Yearn, Ocr. 16.
The installation of Archduke Stephen as 06ergespan, or
Supreme Count of Hungary, took place with great ceremony
this day; Archduke Francis, as Imperial Commissioner,
being present at the ceremony, and making a speech in the
Hungarian language, which was received with the greatest
enthusiasm. Great rejoicings took place on the occasion.
BAVARIA.—Murnen, Ocr. 21.—At the sitting of
the Bavarian Chamber of Deputies held on the 10th, a
motion for the total abolition of lotteries was made, and
unanimously adopted. The Minister of Justice announced
that the new code of laws for Bavaria was so far advanced
that it might be presented during the session of 1818, or at
latest in that of ICI9. It will establish the oral examination
of witnesses and publicity of trials in the courts of law.
Towards the end of the sitting. Baron de Clowns, a member
of great consideration in the chamber, made an eloquent
appeal in favour of the Duchies of Schleswig.Holstein, at
the end of which the whole chamber rose, in expression of
its sympathy on the question.

THE LADIES' CHARITY SCHOOL—Yesterday the
usual haltyearly meeting of subscribers to this charity was
held at the school-house, John-street, Bedford-row, for the
purpose of electing two children into the charity. John
Masterman, Esq., M.P., the treasurer of the institution,
presided. The school was formerly situated in King-street,
Snow-hill, but, in consequence of pressing representations on
the part of their medical advisers to change the site of the
school from that crowded locality, the friends of the charity
endeavoured to raise funds to build a new school-house, The
aura raised, 1,4001., was not found adequate, and at the tame
time the funds of the charity so fell off, that the managers
were obliged to draw on the building-fund to meet the cur-
rent expenditure. The result was, that instead of building
new premises, the lease of the pr, sent house was purchased,
and a balance of about 6001 remained.—Mr. Nutt now pro-
posed, and Mr. Deputy Bedford seconded, a resolution for
the purpose of appropriating this surplus to the general pur-
poses of the charity, securing to the subscribers all the privi-
leges they would have derived, if the money had been applied
to the purpose originally contemplated. The resolution was
unanimously adopted ; es were some of a formal character.
The names of the strcessfal candidates arc—Sarah Ralph,
who had2•J7 votes; and Sarah Doast, who had 2.7 votes.
Mr. M'Gregor, M.P., and a deputation front Glas-
gow, had an interview with Lord J. Russell yesterday at his
official residence in Downing-street.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1847.
