GOVERNMENT HOSTILITY TO THE PRESS.

At a meeting of the National Verein, composed
of about 500 members, which was hold on Nov. 10,
at Niederwallutl; a discussion arose on the violent
measures employed by the government of Nassau
against the press. Amongst the speakers was M.
Maximilian Wirth, editor of the Arbeitgeber, and
he was loudly applauded whet. he compared the
government to the silly countryman who smashed
his barometer for announcing fair weather when he
wanted rain, and to the coquette who broke her
looking-glass because it showed her wrinkles. He
made the following motion :
Considering that the pindple, "Property is esered," is
the motto of all rivaled countries, sad the imam of law
000sitts in the inviolability of personal liberty and of pro-
perty ; but in consequence of the system of Wawa, mid of
the arbitrary maintemoos of this system by goverment'
and by the police, the rights of property ham often been
violated in Germany ; and coosideruig that the right al
establishing printing establehmenta, libraries, the sale of
newspapers, the keeping of public•li ouses, and other industrial
pursuits, has been often arbitrarily suppressed, for no other
cause than because the owners were of a different religious
or political faith from the police ; whilst, moreover, forthe
mine reseoc, persons have been frequently expelled from
plates where they exercised their professions without having
been condemned for illegal conduct, and thus they have
bees deprival of thalamus of subsistence, stripped of their
y, and reduced to Weary:
' that suck insecurity of personal liberty and
property is the mom insupportable, inasmuch as the
partite injured are denied all appeal to the law for their
protection, this assembly resolves :
That it is the duty ci all the deputies of the nation to
take care that the rights of property sod personal liberty
are protected against the arbitrary attacks of the go-
vernment and of the police, and that the withdrawal of
licenses and the expulsion of individuals ought only to take
place by virtue of a judicial sentence.

This motion was supported by M. Trabert, editor
of the Rhein-land Zsitung, which has been sup-
pressed contrary to existing right. M. Trabert
remarked that everybody knew what his paper had
effected for the rights and interests of the country,
but they had little idea how many truths he had
been compelled to suppress by the arbitrary power
of the government.

HUNGARY.

Count de Hochberg, the Austrian Minister for
Foreign Affairs, has, it is said, addressed to all the
representatives of Austria abroad a communication
intended to inform the various courts that the
measures at this moment in force in Hungary are
essentially provisional until that country consents
to accept the liberties granted to her by the crown,
instead of those which belonged to her before the
revolution of 1849.

GENERAL BIXIOI3 DUEL

A telegram from Turin states that General
Bixio has been wounded in the band by a pistol
shot in a dueL A letter from Turin gives the
following :—" There is much excitement here re-
specting a duel between General Bixio and a
Garibaldian officer from Sicily. It appears
that at the time of the Neapolitan campaign
a violent quarrel took place between these two
gentlemen, and General Milo was so excited as to
deal his adversary a blow. A commission of officers,
assembled by order of Garibaldi, decided for the
adjournment of the reparation due to the Sicilian
officer until after the campaign. At the close of
the war the officer claimed from General Bixio the
execution of the decision of the commission, but
the general refused to give him satisfaction,]
saying that he could not fight with anyone whose
moral conduct was unworthy of a man of honour.
The Sicilian, as you may guess, was not contented
with such a reason. He published in the journals
that he regarded the general's refusal as a bad
pretext for not fighting. He acknowledged that
M. Bixio had shown courage and had exposed
his life, during the campaign ; but that,
he added, was when the general possessed
nothing, and had no reason to feel attached to this
world ; while now that he had a high position
in the army, and 15,000 fr. pay, he did not like to
risk his days in a duel. You may imagine that
after such an accusation a duel was inevitable.
It will take place to-day (November 15). General
Bixio's second is Colonel Deua."

tite iron ore now known. The facilities for rail-
way communication are about to be considerably
increased. The present rate of yield is about
(AOOO tons per annum, which is readily sold to
some of the first firms in South Wales. Large

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE PRUSSIAN RUCTIONS.

"Ths primary elections, which take place to-day,"
says the Nerd, " have an exceptional importance.
Parties are greatly divided, and the two shades of
the liberal party, the ministerial constitutionalists
and the men of progress and of the national move-
ment, are equally so amongst themselves. The
ministry cannot rely with confidence upon
its own party, as the latter declares war
to the knife on the military budget,
to which the cabinet pledges its existence. This
divergence of opinion tends evidently to reinforce
the advanced liberals, and in spite of the efforts of
reaction and of moderate opinion, we can foresee
that the former will come to the Chamber with
more imposing strength than was expected.
It is one of those supreme momenta in the life of
nations on which their destinies depend."

THE INSURRECTION IN THE CAUCASUS.

The following letter, written by Ismail Paola,
commander of the Circassian force, gives some de-
tails of the late encounters between the moun-
taineers and the Russians :

Or the 11th of June 3,000 Russians left Abatis-Salami to
proceed toBoudjouk-Kalessi. Informed of this movement, the
~eemi assembled, to the numberof 8,000, and in twodays,
after marching forty hours, attacked the enemy, who did
sot expect to be encountered, and beat and pursued them to
°and ike-Kuba, until they entered the fortress of Bond-
jook- During this combat of three days, the Rus-
sians lost in killed and wounded more than 4,000 men.
Beside" those whom they succeeded in interring, we
have discovered 77 bodies, among whom were four officers.
If the news of the sortie of the Ramis= had reached me
two days sooner, I would have bad time to arrive with all
my troops, and not a single Russian would have been saved
at Sondjouk-Kalessi. But, God be praised for what has
been done. I found myself with Ibrahim Bey at Musk.
The Russian column was commanded by General Debauch.
We have taken from the enemy two ammunition waggons.
Our loss in all has been one dead and seven wounded.
On the 15th June another strong Russian column of
three thousand infantry and cavalry, having left Aborts-
ICalead, were directed towards cis:, Nehrißruhou-
dour, Heri-Anthy, and Nebridia sear the goobers,
to destroy the harvest, by cutting sod trampling
over the fields with the horses, in order to form,
by famine, the population to submit. Immediately,
7,000 Circassian' fell upon them and drew them
into a complete rout. The Russians with difficulty
transported 800 wounded to Adagotur Kalessi, abandoning
on the field of battle a considerable number of dead. Oar
101111 "mounted to 14 killed, and 27 wounded, and 50 hems
killed. On the 25th June a Russian column composed of
infantry with 100 waggons proceeded to cut down the Fabius.
The Circassian gave them time to finish this work, and at the
momenLvirel after having loaded the waggons, the Rris-
dans pee to enter the fort, 300 honemen attacked
them summered all those who could not sass them-
selves. The Circuits= found co iblie grand 960 livestans
killed. The., have taken 11111 came, 140 saline hones,
all the loaded mums, 700ambloss, 300 molests, and a
carriage drawn by- four bones, with the ocannemobat of the
column and his aide-deeemp. The Cireamians had men
killed and nix wounded.

PETITIONS FROM NATIVES OF INDIA.
Lord MONTEAGLE after presenting petitions from na-
tive* of India in Bengal, Behar, Orima, Bombay, Madras,
and Slime, respecting the state of the British possessions of
India, said he would take that opportunity of asking whether
the government were prepared to lay upon the table of the
house the speech of Mr. Laing in the Legislative Council,
and also when the accounts of the moral and material pro-
gress of the country would be produced'

.
Earl DE OREY said, with regard to the petitions, that
in their main objects her Majesty's government concurred,
aad those which related to appointments in India had been
to a greet extent anticipated in the bills which had
this seasion. As regarded the publication of Mr. passel
es
speech, a copy of a similar speech of Mr. Wilson's had been
laid upon the table of both houses, because that
speech had reference to certain questions which gave
rise to the recall of Sir Charles Trevelyan, and it was laid
apes the table as part of certain documents relating to
that particular matter, but he would suggest whether it
wee desirable as a rule to produce speeches made in the
Legislative Council. The returns embed for were made
within the time prescribed by the Act of Parliament, and
bad already been circulated.

BANKRUPTCY AND INM)LVENCY BILL.

IJpos the order for the consideratioo of the Common,'
roosequeotial ameodtneete to this bill,

The LORD CHANCELLOR explained the only amend-
ment of any importance which had been made by the Com-
mons. As the bill originally stood it was provided that the
Lord Chancellor should, with the assent of the chief
judge, make orders touching the forms of pro-
cedure of the court, but of course the appoint-
ment of chief judge having been struck out of
the bill, that provision fell to the ground. Their lordships
suggested, therefore, that for the chief judge should be substi-
toted the Lords Justices of Appeal, but • further alteration
had been secenecessary in conseqoence of the period at which
the bill came into operation, and for the Lords Justices the
Commons had inserted " two of the commissioners." This
bill bad been to him a matter of deep anxiety, and it would
now be his duty es to endeavour to frame and regulate the
orders of the court, that the fullest scope and operation
might be given to the measure, and that it might work as
bees6eially as possible. He still thought the bill was •
=improvement, and he would endeavour to make the
of the means still left at his disposal. (Hear, hear.)
After a few words from Lord CHItI.NMIOILIN the amend-
ments were agreed to.

The following bills passed through committee :—The Los
Factories Ball, Gunpowder, &c., Act Amendment Bill,
and the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Act Continuance,
he., Bill.
Various bills for the Consolidation of the Criminal Law
wore road a third time and pained.

Lent CHELMSFORD mitered into a history of the pro-
Eiof the bill through parliament, for the purpose of
fying a statement which be had mode, that the bill
sever been properly discussed. Under the circnm-
stesces be thought the House of Commons bad hardly
dealt fairly with their lowbhipe in sending the bill up to
them He hoped that if at any future time the measure
were re-iatroduoed it would be properly diseased.

ITALY.

The Barre of the Slat ult. contains a circular
dated the 28th of June, 1861, and marked "quite
confidential," addressed by Signor Mingbetti, the
Sardinian Minister of the Interior, to the em-
ploy& of the government. It informs them that
a document, iu the form of a protest against the
occupation of Rome by French troops, bad been
issued by the so-called party of action (the Maui-
from their laboratory in London, and that
it was being circulated amongst the population for
the purpose of getting signatures. The Minister
directs the government officials to make the people
acquainted with the real object of these agitators,
which was to create " interual and external embar-
rassment for the government, in the strength of
which they found an insurmountable obstacle to
their designs." And further, "to employ all proper
means to prevent and punish any persons who
might adopt illegal methods to obtain signatures."
A communication from Turin of the 29th ult. in
the Prow nays —" The King left this evening for
Jurie to hunt the chamois in the mountains in the
neighbourhood of Mont Rose. Victor Emmanuel
is certainly in his habits the most simple of
monarchs. I saw him in the plainest costume take
his seat in the same compartment of a railway car-
riage with two of his generals and several of his
gamekeepers."
General Cialdini has issued an order, instituting
a committee in every province, under the presi-
dency of the governor' for the purpose of recom-
mending those public functionaries and National
Guards to the notice of the government who shall
have displayed peculiar zeal in putting down the
brigands.
The Nomads of Naples mentions the following
new trick the commorristi have recourse to in order
to extort money :—During the night they write
the words Italy far .ever! Long live Victor
Emmanuel !" on the sinitters of the shops and
windows, and on the following morning present
themselves to the owners with a modest demand of
two or three carlini (the carlino is about 40 cents)
for their trouble. If the demand be refused the
recusant is declared to be a Bourbonist, and as such
exposed to divers annoyances, which it is as well
' to avoid.

rEtrf3SIA AND ITALY.

A letter from Cologne states that the " Sardinian
consul" at that place, M. Engel, had for some
days t placed on Ms house the inscription,
"Italian Consulate," instead of " Sardinian Con-
sulate." It would seem from this that the exequa-
tar accorded to that consul by the Prussian govern-
ment had been modified. It is worthy of notice
that the AUgenseine Preuseische Zeitung no longer
calls Count de Launay " Minister of Sardinia at
Berlin," but "representative of King Victor Em-
manuel." The Volk, Zeitunq does not omit to
point to the fact as a step towards the recognition of
the kingdom of Italy.

THE ILKESTON MURDER.

Yesterday George Smith, who wan sentenced on
Monday last, at Derby, for the murder of his father, at
likestoo, made a full written confession of his guilt to the
high sheriff of the county and the Rev. Andrew Knox, is.
cumbent of Birkenhead. The above gentlemen bad a
lengthened interview with the prisoner on Thursday, bat he
would not then say anything, and told them to come spin
on Friday. They accordingly went yesterday afternoon, at
one o'clock, and after an earnest conversation with the Rev.
Mr. Knox, and prayer bad been offered up, the wretched
culprit said he would make a clean breast of it, and confess
his guilt. He then said that he went to Nottingham on the
let of May for the express purpose of purchasing a pistol
with which to shoot his father; that be took the pistol
home, loaded, and found his father lying on the sofa ; that
he could not then summon resolution to shoot him,
although be measured the distance of his head with the
pistoL He put the loaded pistol into the drawer, left the
house, and went to the Queen's Head public house, and got
a quantity of drink. He then returned home for the par-
pow of *hooting his father, but the latter had gone out,
and he (prisoner) again went back to the public house,
partook of more drink, and had a quarrel with a man. He
then returned home for the last time, and unfortunately
found his father sitting on a chair, with his head resting
on his hand. His father said to him, " George, von must
not go oo so ; you come in at all hours of the Milt and I
don't believe you get any better—but worse." • then
thought he would make an end of the matter, and with the
loaded pistol io his hand, went behind his father's chair,
and shot him through the head.
The confession was signed by the murderer. He was
very calm and penitent after be had made his contortion.

BARK V. FIESTT.-DIPOITANT RANKING QVCSTION.

This action arose out of the following circumstances. The
defendant was a banker at Worthing, with whom the plain-
tiff had kept an account, and on Friday, the Bth of July,
the plaintiff paid into the defendant's hank a cheque for
ser., drawn on Messrs. Whittield and Molyneaux, bankers,
of Lewis. If the cheque had been sent by the defendant
by poet to Lewes on the Friday it would have been paid on
the Saturday, but the defendant, in accordance enth the
venal course of business, sent the cheque by Friday's poet
to hie correspondents in London, Mews:Lubbock, who
sent it to the country cicaring-house, and the cheque was
from thence sent down to the Lewes Bank, where it arrived
on the Monday and wee dishonoured. The plaintiff, under
' these circumstances, sued his banker for the amount of the
cheque, and at the trial before Mr. Justice Blackburn, in
Surer., the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Subse-
quently a rule was obtained to enter a verdict for the de-
fendant, or for • new trial, the question raised being whe-
ther the defendant had • right to send the cheque up to
London to be passed through the country clearing-house, or
whether he was bound by law to seed it direct to Lewes on
the day on which he received it.
The matter to-day came on for argument, but it wee not
concluded when the court rose.

an extremely handsome vessel, quite new, and •
"regnlsz dipper," as her run from Charleston plainly
shows. She has 04 board 1,100 brie. of roan and

THE OVERLAID MAIL.

INDIA.

By the overland mail we have received Calcutta
papers to Oct 22, Madras papas to Oct. 29, and
Hong Kong papers to Oct. 15.
The news from Calcutta is not very immaint.
The dulness of the annual holiday m had,
however, been broken by the publication of Lord
Canning's resolutions for the sale of waste lauds
and the redemption of the land tax, which have
already appeared in our columns.
The Governor-General left Calcutta on the 15th
October for Allallabad, where the investiture of
the Knights of the Star of India with the insignia
of the order was to take place. The feudatories
expected to be present were the Maharajahs of
Gwalior and Puttiallis the Rajah of Rampore, and
the Be gum of Bhopal. Those unable to attend
would be invested by the residents at their respec-
tive courts, or by the highest officer of government
in the neighbourhood. The Viceroy would pro-
bably visit Lucknow, and then retain to Calcutta
to embark for Pegu. He might possibly visit
Singapore and Port Blair, and look in at the Gods-
very on his way back.
Owing to the unusually heavy rain of the past
season the rivers were all above their normal
height, and the greater part of Lower Bengal was
under water. The indigo distrissZa where the dis-
turbances bad been most 'serious suffered the
most. In many places people had fled from their
houses and fields to take refuge in higher ground.
The crops were injured, and, in some cases de-
stroyed. The Chunar invalids did not feel inclined
to leave their present home and go to the hills,
bat in • political point of view there could be no
doubt of the advisability of such • change.
The subscriptions for their relief were flowing
in fast. The readiness with which Anglo-
Indians contribute money for charitable or
public purposes is most praiseworthy, particularly
when we consider the more eqaable distributiou of
wealth that exists now as compared with fifty

of the treasure carried away by one of the mutinous
regiments, the 9th N. 1., when they attacked the
Treasury and looted it.
Measures were being taken to locate a greater
number of European troops in the hill stations than
