In its sittings of the Bth, the Chamber of Deputies
of Turin confirmed the elcction of Advocate DANIEL
MANIN at Genoa. The Legge observes, that MANIN
not being naturalised, the Chamber ought not to have
confirmed the election.

The new Piedmontese Minister of War, ALroNso
DELLA MARMORA, has addressed a proclamation to
the soldiers, in which, after prai,ing their valour and
fidelity to the KING and the constitution, he promises
to consider carefully the existing laws concerning the
army, with a view to their improvement.
Three deputations, which had proceeded from Rome
to the POPE, to entreat him to return to that city,
returned home on the 4th. They were most gra-
ciously received by Pius IX., who said to them that
in all probability it would not be long before he
returned to his States, but that he had 'not yet fixed
the period of his arrival. The ex-Ministers, IA NATI
and Rossi, who had received an order of exile, have
obtained leave to return to their homes.

The Legge of Turin publishes a letter from Rome
of the 33, positively announcing that Pius IX. will
very shortly return to Rome with M. DE CORCELLES,
on the declaration of the latter that the capital is
in a state of perfect trarquillity. The correspondent
says that this news has been brought by MM. BOULA-
TiGNIER and FRENZY. The POPE had given a very
favourable reception to the deputation from Rome
which had waited upon him at Portici.
The Giornale di Roma of the Si publishes a de-
cree of the King of NAPLES, dated 21st ult., fixing
the conditions required of teachers for the exercise
of their profession. By this decree all persons
desirous of teaching a science, either in schools or
privately, must be provided with a royal permis-
sion and a certificate of authorisation from the
university. They are to pass an examination in
writing on the Christian catechism before the faculty
of theology, in the presence of the Bishops. Any
one desirous of teaching only reading and writirg
to have a certificate of study for literature, and pass
the examination on the catechism. Teachers of
either sex are to be at least 28 years of age. Teachers
of fine arts and foreign languages are subjected to
the same rules and obliged to pass an examination in
the art and language they profess to teach. The
religious corporations authorised to teach, and the
teachers in ecclesiastical seminaries, are exempted
from the above decree. All permissions hitherto
granted are revoked.

PORT UGAL.

Advises have been received from Lisbon to
the 9th instant.

The American Minister per: sts in his demand for
compensation for the loss of the American privateer
Globe, in 1812.
It would appear that the Portuguese Government
is now about to reap a just retribution for its
shameless breaches of faith towards its foreign cre-
ditors.

The E standarte states, that overtures for a loan
of 45,0001. having very recently been made to the
house of Baring Brothers, of London, on the part of
the Portuguese Government, those gentlemen re-
plied as follows :
" A country which is under the necessity of applying
to a foreien nation for so trifling a loan as 45,0001. must
surely be totally ruined. We should have supposed that
so small a sum could easily have been raised in any
one v treet in Lisbon ; but your proposal convinces us
that the finances of Portugal are indeed in a lamentable
state, and this conviction renders it impossible for us to
listen to it."

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

An article in the official journal of Vienna of the
gth states that the Austrian Government has resolved
that for the future political prisoners shall no longer
be chained, but be kindly treaty, be allowed better
food, and even, if they please, procure it themselves ;
that they shall have the use of books, newspapers,
paper, and ink, be permitted to communicate with
each other, and, under the surveillance of the autho-
rities correspond with their families ; and, finally,
wear their own clothes, and not be subject to the
same labour as ordinary criminals.
The German Reform states that a few days ago the
military authorities of Vienna sent to all the news-
papers a long criticism on a book, published by the
ex-Deputy SCIIITZELRA, with orders to insert it
without modification or comment ; but the only
journal that obeyed was the official Gazette.
The Austrian Government has convoked a Con-
gress of all the maritime states of Germany to join
in discus.ing measures for establishing general mari-
time and commercial laws for Austria and Germany.
By a letter from Vienna of the Bth we learn that a
Russian Consulate is to be established at Cracow.—
Another letter of the same date states that, on the
prayer of the PorE's Nuncio, the Austrian Govern-
ment has relieved the Hungarian Bishop RUDMAN-
EZKY from the sentence of detention for several years
in a fortress, but ordered him to remain a convent
for the present. Count CAROLY and four other
Magyar state prisoners have been removed to the
fortress of Theresienstadt, in Bohemia.

posed of three grand opinions, the Legitimist, the
Itnpc,rialist, and the Republican—what would follow ?
and the answer most truly is, a prosecution by the
Procurerr-G&neral.

We trist the authorities of the Republic will be
too wise to trouble the Procurcur-General ; on the
contrary, they ought rather to encourage these out-
pourings on the part of the " Moderates"—forewarned

At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, the de-
puties of the Mountain abstained from attending, in
order to mark their indignation and disgust at the
sentences passed on their colleagues by the High
Court of Versailles. It was at one time determined
that they should all resign en masse, but the deter-
mination vas not persisted in.
PEACHEM and LocxlT are reconciled. The POPE
has addressed an autograph letter to his "dearly be-
loved son," the ci-devant Voltairian M. THIERS.

The Coastitutionnel says :—" The Five per Cents.
have risen nearly 1 fr. since Saturday. This is
caused by what has transpired of the statement which
the new Minister of Finance, it is said, will present
this day h the Assembly. It is said that, by means
of the sun' now in the Treasury, which, it is affirmed,
is 117 milions, and by maintaining, during the year
1850, the luty on potable liquors, the Minister con-
sidered that he could provide for all necessities with-
out having recourse to a loan, provided the 100
millions lent by the Bank of France were allowed to
remain at his disposal. The Minister intends, it is
also said, to propose that a parliamentary inquiry
should be instituted, the results of which should serve
as the basis for the modifications to be effected in the
system of taxation from 1851."
The captain of the French steam-packet Luxor
arrived at Marseilles, announces that he met the
French fleet on the 26th ult., 15 miles from Malta.

NOVEMBER 14 1849.

bridge. On the turn of the next tide it would
be left 24 miles down the river, and so on, de-
scending 24 miles in 24 hours until it went
clear into the sea. If our numbers are correct—
they are not far from the truth—it is self-evident
that if the sewage of London was collected and
allowed only to run into the Thames at high water,
like the sea-log above stated, it would at low water
be forty-two miles down the river, never to return ;
for five hours' flow would only bring it within twelve
miles of the place from whence it started." He goes
on to show that under such conditions the water of
the Thames above London bridge woul I be always
pure ; that no pollution could affect it, and that the
river below the bridge, instead of being, as now,
constantly filled with filth, would only be fouled during
the short period of the opening of the sluices—about
an hour a day. His views are self-evidently true in
principle ; he follows them up by a detail of arrange-
ments to suit the conditions in prectice, which need
not be stated here; but at the end of the paper appears
the following anecdote, which so clearly shows the
principle, and is so naturally put, that I cannot help
giving it as it originally stands. He says :—" When I
was a boy, I was much amused to observe a dead pig to
flow up and down a tidal river, every day; as regularly
as the day came my friend the pig came also ; he grew
bigger and bigger, and shortened his visit about a
mile a day, until at last he went to sea, and, poor
fellow, I never saw him more. He made me a phi:

losopher. What could make a dead pig grow bigger?
If he had been a living one the question never would
have arisen—or why did he choose to shorten his
visits so regularly a mile a day ?"
Now it is evident, carrying out this anecdote in
connexion with our subject, that if a " dead pig"
were thrown over Waterloo-bridge at low water, he
would go up with the tide for five hours, and he would
in five hours more return, making ten hours. He
would now only have two hours' ebb before he would
meet the tide coming up ; consequently he would
return again with it, and go up the river; he night
be seen every day for a week : but if he were thrown
over at high water, he would float down for seven
hours, and up only for five, consequently he never
would be seen again within twelve miles of the bridge.
The calculations of under-current, the fact of its
being twelve and a half hours between tide and tide,
difference in rate, &c., are all in favour of the prac-
ticability of its being carried out.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian frigate the Eagle has sailed from
Stettin for Schleswig Holstein. It is said that she
will proceed to Eckernforcle on purpose to tow out
the Gefion, and convey that vessel, should the wind not
be favourable, to a Prussian Port.: .

The following questions "have been submitted to
the'English Government for decision in relation to the
Gefion :-1. Does, or does npt, a prize taken by one
party, refitted for war purposes, and moored within
any given port, come within the scope of an armis-
tice guaranteeing the statue quo as regards all parts and
portions of the territory over which the status quo is ex-
tended ? 2. Can, or can not, this vessel be removed as
a neutral, under the flag of one of the guaranteeing
parties, either to evade the effects of the status quo, or
to avoid sailing under a flag not only disavowed by
the opposite and co-contracting party, but exposing
the vessel carrying such
_flag to be driven pack or
impounded for breach of convention ?
The Swabian Mercury says that the treaty incor-
porating the principality of llohenzollern Simaringen
with Prussia is concluded and ratified, and has now
only to receive the approval of the Prussian Chain
hers. Nevertheless it appears that this important act,
by which Prussia obtains a footing in Southern Ger-
many, has led to some diplomatic correspondence
between the great Powers.
The Fe-uille de Franefort of the 11th says, it is
informed on good authority that the Ministry
have heard that the Hanoverian Government has
given its sanction to the treaty concluded on the
30th September between Austria and Prussia,
relative to thb formation of a provisional central
committee for the administration of the empire. The
adhesion of Wirtemberg and of Baden had also been
received.

TII F. BRAZILS.

By the way of the United States we have advices
from Rio de Janeiro to Scpt. 12. Nothiug-of inte-
rest had transpired, excepting the celebration of the
independence of the empire, which touk place with
great ceremony on the 7th. There entered the port
of Rio, from foreign ports, during the month of
August, 96 ships, with a tonnage amounting to
21,507; and 79 sailed, with 25,408 tons of goods.
The commercial intellig►ence mentions the arrival of
the Tartar, from Lisbon. The flour• market was very
dull. The coffee market was firm, although very
quiet, and prices remained unchanged—stock, 80,000
bags. Freights were dull. Exchange, 26d.

THE COLONELCY OF THE 16TH LANCERS.— We
are enabled to state that the Colonelcy of the 16th
Lancers, vacant by the death of Sir J. C. Vandelcur,
G.C.8., has been conferred upon that very distin-
guished cavalry officer, now serving in India, Major-
General Sir Joseph &c. The
Colonelcy of the 4th Dragoon Guards is still in
abet' ance.

111 E MURDER AT MILLBANK PENITENTIARY.—
We are T.( qut:stid to contradict a statement which ap-
praud in our edition of yesterday, that 50/. had bei n
given to the widow and six children of the deceased
warder, Hall, who was so brutally murdered
by the convict John Francis, out of a fund be
longing exclusively to the officers, and raised
by weekly sulricription.9, and fines inflicted fur
direliction of duty. This fund, wo are informed, is very
limited in amount, and will only admit of a gratuity to
the widow of 10/. As she is left with six children en-
tirely helpless, and has no means of supporting herself
or them, it is to be hoped that the Government will
make some provision for her, or, in the event of their
failing to do so, that some generously disposed pawns
who are ecquainted with the distressing nature of the
case will render her sonic assistance.

NORTH STAFFORDSIIIRE.

Some serious differences have arisen between the
directors of the North Staffordshire and the directors
of the London and North-Western Railways re-
specting the agreement entered into in 1845—that
is, previous to the amalgamation of the old London
and Birmingham and Grand Junction—for taking the
Manchester traffic over a portion of the North Staf-
fordshire line. To carry out the agreement would
necessarily injure the amalgamated companies, who
are now called upon to fulfil the terms of the agree-
ment. Their objection to do so arises, it seems, from
the fact that a canal in connexion with the North
Staffordshire Company is competing with the London
and North-Western for the goods' traffic. It is stated
that the latter company require this competition to be
put an end to before they v, ill consent to negotiate
upon the basis of the agreement of 1845.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian frigate the Eagle has sailed from
Stettin for Schleswig Holstein. It is said that she
will proceed to Eckernforde on purpose to tow out
the Gefion, and convey that vessel, shoull the wind not
be favourable, to a Prussian Port.
The following questions have been submitted to
the English Government for decision in relation to the
Gefion :—l. Does, or does not, a prize taken by one
party, refitted for war purposes, and moored within
any given port, come within the scope of an armis-
tice guaranteeing the status quo as regards all parts and
portions of the territory over which the status quo is ex-
tended ? 2. Can, or can not, this vessel be removed as
a neutral, under the flag of one of the guaranteeing
parties, either to evade the effects of the status quo, or
to avoid sailing under a flag not only disavowed by
the opposite and co-contracting party, but exposing
the vessel carrying such flag to be driven pack or
impounded for breach of convention ?
The Swabian Mercury says that the treaty incor-
porating the principality of Hohenzollern Simaringen
with Prussia is concluded and ratified, and has now
only to receive the approval of the Prussian Cham-
hers. Nevertheless it appears thatithis important act,
by which Prussia obtains a footing in Southern Ger-
many, has led to some diplomatic correspondence
between the great Powers.
The Feuille de Franc fort of the 11th says, it is
informed on good authority that the Ministry
have heard that the Hanoverian Government has
given its sanction to the treaty concluded on the
30th September between Austria and Prussia,
relative to the formation of a provisional central
committee for the administration of the empire. The
adhesion of Wirtemberg and of Baden had also been
received.

HAMBURG H.

The Senate or Executive Government of the Free
City of Hamburgh, not being able to come to an
understanding with the Constituent Assembly with
respect to the Constitution, has drawn up one of a
liberal character, which has been favourably received
by the public. Before coming into operation, the
new Constitution will have to be submitted to the old
Legislative Assembly.

CALEDONIAN.

We mentioned afew days since that the directors
of the Caledonian Railway had applied to the London
and North-Western Company for pecuniary assist-
ance. On Saturday the application—viz , for an
advance of some 200,0001. or 300,0001. upon the
rolling stock of the Caledonian Railway—was brought
under dsscussion at the monthly meeting of the Lon
don and' North• Western board, and, after a very
animated debate, it was resolved not to advance the
sum required.

WORCESTER COLLEGE, OXFORD.—.Mr. William
Carr has been elected to the Exhibition on Dr. Kay's
foundation.

On Sunday a most eloquent and powerful discourse
was delivered by the Rev. Henry Melvin, 8.D., Principal
of the East India College Haileybury, at the church of
St. Lawrence Jewry, Gresham-street, before the Lord
r!ilayor and Sheriffs, at the close of which a collection
was made on behalf of the Commercial Travellers'
Schools for orphan and necessitous children, whon nearly
601. was obtained. The text was chosen from Isaiah
xrviii., 16, "Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone,
a tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation."
Long before the service began the church was densely
crowded in every part, and many persons were unable to
get in.

THE BRITANNIA-BRIDGE.—On Saturday the first
of the great tubes of the Britannia bridge was finally
lowered down again, by a 3-feet fall, on to its permanent
bed of plates and rollers ; the operation for effecting a
junction with the tube •n land having occupied about
three weeks. The event was cheered by the assembled
workmen and spectators, and hailed by the firing of
cannon on the Carnarvon side of the Straits. The hy-
draulic presses and lifting apparatus are now being re-
moved from the Anglesea to the Carnarvonahiro shore,
in order to raise the next tube as soon as it is floated to
the piers—an operation which, weather and tide per-
mitting, will take place on the 3d of next month. The
operations connected with this work have now been
carried on for several months both by day and night, and
from the strenuous exertions made it is expected that the
first line of tubes will be opened for traffic on the Ist of
March next.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—An Extraordinary Case of
an Abscess in the Arm Cured by Holloway's Ointment and
Pills.—Mrs. Howden, the wife of a carpenter residing at
Kineton, noticed about two years a swelling in the upper part
of her arm, which, though not painful at first, ultimately
caused her intense suffering. Whilst under medical treatment
a wound appeared, which it was found impossible to heal, and
she was advised to go to the infirmary without any other hope
of cure than by amputation; declining to consent, she deter-
mined on giving Holloway's Ointment and Pills a trial, and
these had the happy effect of soundly curing_ her in a month.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving cam secure
through this Society.

TURKEY.

- - -
The French Siee/e publishes the following :—" We
have received, by way of Germany, accounts from
Turkey to the 27th ult., three days later than those
brought by the Tancrede. This news has produced a
very great sensation at Vienna, where it was known
on the 8:11, as it states, that not only has France and
England assured the Porte of their support, but
that these Powers excite the SULTAN to seize on
this opportunity to rid himself of the suzerainty
claimed by Russia in the East. Without taking
to the letter the word excite, we can affirm, on
good infermation, that the attitude assumed
by the two great liberal nations has produced an
immense effect in the Ottoman Empire. As to the
Danubian provinces, they perhaps give themselves up
to exaggerated hopes on the subject. The Turkish
troops have met with an enthusiastic reception at
Jassy, and that feeling was redoubled when the
General announced that the SULTAN, in gratitude
for the conduct of his Moldo-Wallachian subjects,
would shortly withdraw the corps of observation, and
invite Russia to recal her troops.. The political
question takes the lead over the religious one in the
which
East, and Russia thus sees the lever brolon

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

An article in the official journal of Vienna of the
Bth states that the Austrian Government has resolved
that for the future political prisoners shall no longer
be chained, but be kindly treaty, be allowed better
food, and even, if they please, procure it themselves ;
that they shall have the use of books, newspapers,
paper, and ink, be permitted to communicate with
each other, and, under the surveillance of the autho-
rities correspond with their families ; and, finally,
wear their own clothes, and not be subject to the
same labour as ordinary criminals.
The German Reform states that a few days ago the
military authorities of Vienna sent to all the news-
papers a long criticism on a book, published by the
ex-Deputy SCHUZEUEA, with orders to insert it
without modification or comment ; but the only
journal that obeyed was the. official Gazette.
The Austrian Government has convoked a Con-
gress of all the maritime states of Germany to join
in discussing measures for establishing general mari-
time and commercial laws for Austria and Germany.
By a letter from Vienna of the Bth we learn that a
Russian Consulate is to be established at Cracow.—
Another letter of the same date states that, on the
prayer of the POPE's Nuncio, the Austrian Govern-
ment has relieved the Hungarian Bishop RUDNIAN-
MKT from the sentence of detention for several years
in a fortress, but ordered him to remain a convent
for the present. Count CAIXOLY and four other
Magyar state prisoners have been removed to the
fortress of Theresienstadt, in Bohemia.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

punishments, which they said were as severe under
the new Austrian functionaries as they had been under

A letter from Vienna of the 6th states that the corps
d'arma in Bohemia had received considerable rein -
forcements.
By decree of the Emperor of Austria, of the sth,
a new judicial organization of Hungary is made;
it puts an end to all privileged jurisdictions, establishes
permanent tribunals of districts, with a superior court
for all the kingdom, and effects important reforms;
but it declares that the country is Rot yet sufficiently
tranquil to allow of the jury being established.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
This week's arrival of English wheat, coastwise, has
been confined to only 910 quarters, chiefly from Essex.
Although the show of samples here to-day was small,
the demand was far from active, nevertheless Monday's
improvement in value was freely supported. Only 970
quarters of wheat have reached us from abroad. Se-
lected qualities of both red and white moved off steadily
at full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds ex-
ceedingly little business was transacted. Floating
cargoes were held at full currencies. The show
of barley—both English and foreign—was small. Grind-
ing samples sold freely, other kinds slowly, at late rates.
Malt was in moderate supply and sluggish inquiry, at
unaltered quotations. The best parcels of Oats were
held at full prices. Damp qualities ruled very dull.
