_
The Austrian Government has forbidden the entrance
of the French National into the Austrian dominions,
on account of a sharp
.article attacking HATNAu for
the perpetration of the murders at Pesth and Arad.
The Ost Deutsche Post prints the petition of the
Committee of the Diet for the Crown land of Styria,
who, in a stormy meeting at Gratz, resolved to
address the ministers on the subject of their
constitutional rights, as set down in the March
charter. The petition is founded upon sec. 83, which
states that all the provisional statutes for the separate
crown lands must be in activity before the expiration
of 1849. The Styrians complain that they, who
have not rebelled, are as far as ever from enjoying a
representative form of government.
The walls of Buda are being rebuilt, and the sur-
rounding heights commanding the bill on which the
late castle stood, are going to be fortified, the object
proposed being to raise Buda to the rank of a fortress
of second rate strength.

The Statute, of Florence, quotes a letter from
Rome, of the 20th, stating that the pro-Minister
GALLI has drawn up a new financial project in-
stead of the one on the paper bank which bad been
rejected by the commission of finance. This new
project consists in a new system of indirect taxes.
The Government, according to this system, is to tax
every commune in proportion to its population. The
commune is bound to pay to Government the whole
of the tax, and afterwards rate its inhabitants accord-
ing to the amount. This system would establish a
different taxation for every commune.
The Chamber of Deputies at Turin came to a
vote on the 25th, limiting, by a great majority, the
collection of the indirect taxes to the month of
November.

On the same day a Cabinet Council was held at
Turin for the purpose of considering the nomination
of the new Minister of Public Works. It was said
that overtures had been made to Engineer PALEOCAPA.

THE PARRICI_M-1:- AT CHISWICK

HAMMERSMITH POLICE COURT.—(TIIISDAY.)
Henry Bathurst Monkhouse, the unfortunate young
sailur, who is charged with intending to murder his
father by firing a pistol at him, was brought up again
to day before Mr. Beadon, the magistrate of the
district. He bore the same sullen and dogged ap-
pearance that was remarkable in him on the last day
he was brought up, and appeared scarcely to notice
the magistrate or any one in court. Upon the
prisoner being placed at the bar,
The MAGISTRATE inquired whether the elder Mr.
Monkhouse was able to attend ?

Mr. Inspector Jecks having been sworn, stated
,hat he had received that morning the following cer-
if-lc:ate, which he handed up to the magistrate, from
;he medical gentlemen who attended Mr. Monk-
aouse, Ben.:—

"We hereby certify that M. Monkhouse continues
in a weak and nervous state, which renders it advis-
able that he should remain quiet at least another week.
(Signed) " J. BOWLING,
Surgeons.
" G. Haf.FoRD,
" Hammersmith, Oct. 31, 1849."
Mr. BEA DON, after reading the certificate, ordered
the prisoner to be remanded to Tuesday next, wheu
he stated the depositions of Mr. MOD khouse, sen.,
would be taken it' he was able to attend.
The prisoner was then removed from the bar, and
conveyed in the police-van back to prison. Confine-
ment does not seem to have at all affected his health,
and his face still presents the same brown and ruddy
appearance that it did on the first day that he was
breught up to the court to answer the awful charge
against him.

BAVARIA.

In the Chamber of Deputies of Bavaria, on the
23d, the Minister Van der Piortden, in reply to the
Prince de Wallerstein, stated that the time had not
yet come to enter into explanations with respect to
the new convention between Austria and Prussia;
but he stated that the situation created by that con-
vention was only provisional, and that the Govern-
nient could nut take on itself to give a definitive
Constitution to Germany without the co-operation of
the Legislature.

lONIAN ISLANDS.

We have received Corfu papers to the 12th inclu-
sive. Sir H. G. Ward, the Lord High Commis-
sioner, had addressed a letter to his Highness the
President of the Senate, in which, after stating
the existence in Corfu of a secret society to which
several Italian refugees had united themselves
since their arrival in the island, and detailing
some of the proceedings of the society, he adds,
that he should take upon himself the responsibility of
ordering those foreigners, who had violated the rights
of hospitality by their intrigues,
.to quit the lonian
territory, and to place those lonian subjects who be-
longed to the society under the surveillance of the po-
lice until ulterior measures had been decided on. The
papers also contain a long account of the ceremony of
the investiture of Mr. Ward, the Lord High Com-
missioner, as Grand Cross of the order of St.
Michael and St. George, which took place with
great pomp on the 6th. A letter from Corfu,
under date of the 19th, says :—" By the
arrival this morning of the Sharpshooter
from Cephalonia, with a detachment of the 36th
regiment, which was dispatched from this island
on the first outbreak, we hear of the capture of the
priest Nodaro and one of his companions, and the
surrender of Vlacco at Luxuri. Martial law has been
taken off all the districts except Luxuri, where the
trials are now going on. His Excellency Sir Henry
Ward is still there, and the Sharpshooter sails again
to-day for Cephalonia to bring his Excellency and
staff."

PRUSSIA.

On the 27th, the First Chamber of Prussia adopted
clauses 41 to 59 of the Constitution, relating to the
King and his Ministers. Article 46 gives the King
the eight to declare war, to conclude peace and trea-
ties, and such as may impose new burdens on the
nation, are to be submitted to the Chamfers. The
Second Chamber continued the discussion of the
Constitution. The Count Brandenburg presented
papers on the German question.
The Berlin State Gazette publishes the addresses
made by the King of Prussia to the young Prince of
Prussia, to Count de Brandenburg and General
Wrangel, on appointing them Knights of the Order
of the Black Eagle. In his speech to the Prince, his
nephew, the King said :
May these honours cause you to become a model
of Christian humility, of chivalrous strength and
fidelity, in an epoch which more than any other dis-
plays only vanity, baseness, and disloyalty. It is on
this condition that you will be an ornament of our
nobility, of our admirable army, faithful and accus-
tomed to conquer, and of our name. On this con-
dition the fete of to day will serve you as an encou-
ragement on the path which conscientious Princes
have to follow, and which at all times, but to-day
more than ever, is covered with thorns."
M. Botticher, ex President of the Province of
Prussia, Deputy in the First Chamber, has been
nominated member of the Central Provisional Com-
mission, which, being thus complete, is forthwith to
enter on its functions.

WORSHIP STREET.

George Robinson, a morose-looking young fellow,
about nineteen years of age, was charged with the
following cruel robberies upon his father, a poor
labourer living in Wilmer-garden, Kingsland-road.
The father, who was much affected whilst giving
his evidence, gave a very melancholy account of his
son's misconduct, and stated that he had been in the
habit, for a long time past, of robbing him and con-
ducting himself in such a violent and outrageous
manner that he was compelled, about eight months
since, to seek the interposition of his friends to pro-
cure the prisoner's admission to the Marine Society.
This was at length effected, and the prisoner, to the
satisfaction of all belonging to him, was sent to sea
under the control of the society, and witness was in
hopes that he had permanently got rid of him. To
his consternation, however, a few weeks ago the
prisoner coolly walked into the house, with an
acknowledgment that he had availed himself of the
first opportunity to abscond from his ship ; and it was
only by very positive eonduct on his part that witness
succeeded in preventing him stopping in his house, to
renew the same conduct he had pursued before. The
prisoner quitted the place with great reluctance, but
had constantly since returned at short intervals, to
carry off everything he could conveniently lay his
hands upon, and when witness or his daughter ven-
tured to remonstrate with him on his heartless con-
duct they met with the grossest abuse and violence,
and he had repeatedly threatened to do for them.
A few days ago the prisoner watched him out as he
went to his work, and directly he had left entered the
house, when he forced his way past his younger
brothers, who endeavoured to prevent him, and went
upstairs to the witness's bedroom, from which he stole
a scarf and one of witness's shirts, and would have
also carried off one of the boys' pairs of trousers
but for their strenuous resistance. It was both dan-
gerous and perfectly useless to even mention the fact of
the robbery to him ; and, as he was so constantly
subject to such visitations, he determined, upon being
apprised of the prisoner's conduct on reaching home
in the evening, to give him into custody upon the
present charge, as the only means of protecting him-
self and his family from his outrageous violence,
from which both he and they felt certain they would
at some time or other sustain some serious injury.
Police-constable Mulcahy proved that upon appre-
hending the prisoner, shortly after he had committed
the robbery, he searched him, and found his father's
property upon him ; and _ _ _

A r. ARNOLD' who characterised the prisoner's
conduct as both scandalous and unnatural, ordered
the depositions to be take; and fully committed him
for trial.

Thomas Hearn, a porter in the service of Messrs.
Curtis, the curriers of Finsbury, was charged with
robbing his employers.
The prisoner merely said that he was very sorry for
his misconduct, and was fully committed to Newgate
for trial.

MARKET

HIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

Although the supply of English Wheat on sale to-
day was eery limited, the demand for that grain, owing
to the small number of buyers in attendance, was in a
very depressed state, and Monday's quotations were
nominally unaltered. The imports of foreign Wheat
this week have been confined to 4,010 quarters. Fine
parcels were mostly disposed of at full prices. In other
qualities scarcely any business was transacted. We were
scantily supplied with all kinds of Barley, which were
taken at about stationary prices. Fine Malt was scarce,
and quite as dear; secondary qualities were a dull sale.
The best samples of Oats, from their scarcity, were held
for more mor,ey; in the value of other kinds we have no
change to report. Beans and Peas moved off slowly, at
full prices. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour were much
neglected.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES,

By th• 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 tr.) his representatives.
/he following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure
through this Society.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 9th and 10th
*inst., have
arrived.

It appears that the scene in the Senate between
PAVIA, NARYAEZ, and CORDOVA was of a most vio-
lent character. General PAVIA accused NARVAEZ of
not having adopted proper measures for the sup-
pression of the insurrection in Catalonia, and in sup-
port of his accusation read several letters which had
passed between himself and the President of the
Council, and concluded by moving, as an amendment
to the address, the introduction of a paragraph, ex-
pressing regret that the measures adopted by the
President of the Ministry for the suppression of the
Rebellion in Catalonia had not been more efficacious.
NARVAEZ, in his reply, accused PAVIA of a breach of
honour, in thus making public a confidential cor-
respondence. PAVIA'S amendment was negatived in
the sitting of the 9th.

ITALY.

Cardinals FERETTI and ALTIERI arrived at Rome
on the 3d from Gaeta, and were the bearers of pro-
posals from the POPE of a conciliatory nature. Among
the proposals is that of an amnesty to all political
offenders, with the exception of the murderers of M.
Rossi. It was said that the most able and influential
leaders of the movement, and among others the
Minister STERBINI, had replied that they had it not
in their power to induce the members of the ultra-
Democratic clubs to accept those conditions, however
reasonable they might be, without the ssistance of
an armed force acting in the name of thg POPE.
In consequence of the arrival of the Cardinals,
Prince CoRSINI and the whole of the municipality of
Rome had given in their resignations, and a deputa-
tion of all the parochial clergy of Rome had gone to
Gaeta.

Everything remained tranquil at Rome up to the
7th inst. the date of the latest advices.
The Nazionale of Florence of the 9th announces from
Rome, but without warranting the intelligence, that a
reactionary movement had broken out in that capital,
and that at the departure of the courier the National
Guard were fighting against the insurgents.

Tus ROYAL ETCHINGS.—In consequence of the
judgment given yesterday by Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce, in the case of his Royal Highness Prince Albert
v. Strange, we understand that Mr. Strange has deter-
mined to appeal to, and lay his whole case before, the
Lord Chancellor. The necessary instructions and
notices to carry such an intention into immediate effect
were given yesterday, and the arguments are expected to
come on in the Lord Chancellor's Court at the earliest
possible period.
PARISH or ST. PANCRAS.—Yesterday a numerous
special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Poor of
St. Pancras was held in the new Vestry Room, adjoining
the workhouse, King's-road, Camden Town, for the pur-
pose of receiving a report which had been received from
the Poor-law Board, Somerset-house, concerning the
outbreak of cholera amongst the children farmed out at
Mr.Drouet's establishment at Tooting, and as to the dis-
posal of tho children which had been removed there-
from. Francis Healey, Esq., churchwarden, having been
called to the chair, Mr. Pitt, the acting clerk to the
Board, having read the report, which chiefly related to
the establishment of a district school, it was ordered to
be entered on the minutes, and a committee appointed to
take its most important details into consideration. The
Board then broke up. onvint ta.4,440 V5.:31.1400,41 tbset,o

RUSSIA

The Menzel Eciw announces that the movements
of Russian troops continued in Poland, and that the
soldiers, who by the Emperor's positive orders were
R ell clothed and paid, believed that they were to
enter Italy in the spring.
A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 4th states
that the Government had received intelligence of the
total disappearance of the cholera from Moscow. At
St. Petersburgh the malady still exists, but with only
the small number of 5 or 6 cases a day.

Modena, Reggio, and Guastalla, having solicited
Charles Albert to allow them to have a representative
at Brussels for the purpose of aiding the Sardinian

give as to the affairs of Italy, the King has accredited
Count Louis Sauvitali as the representative of the
Duchies through the Sardinian Ambassador at the

posed chiefly of Corsicans. French, Poles, and Spa-

centrated in Poland at 130,000 men. Three camps
have been formed at Kalisch, Lowiez, and Warsaw,

A R K I A E.
v One half the world are desolately single, and the other
lupposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ase of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
‘:itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
coawrosimg harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should fora; an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
.here surmises concern yen, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

or the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on

HANOVER.

A recent number of the Hanover Gazette contains
two documents, in which the Hanoverian Govern-
ment sets forth its objections to the validity of the
laws of the empire promulgated by the Central Go-
vernment, and to the publication of the law on
fundamental rights. The same journal, in its number
of the 10th, contains the following:—
" All the joianali have repeated, during the last few
days, a rumour spread by the Post Ampt Gazette of
Frankfort, to the effect that Bavaria and Hanover have
declared at London that they will not submit to a chief
of the German Empire; but would, like Austria, prefer
to enter simply into federal international relations.
There is not a word of truth in this statement.
Hanover has never dissimulated its opinion—never
acted secretly, and, consequently, if it had entertained
such reactionary tendencies, it would have made known
its opinion at Frankfort, as is becoming, and not at
London."

TIC DOLOREUX CURAULE.—TOOTHACHE.
TAMES'
CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINC-
TURE FOR THE TIC DOLOREUX,
will prove an invaluable medicine to those suffering from this most
excruciating and hitherto-considered incurable complaint. A know-
ledge of its surprising efficacy has induced the proprietors to bring it
more extensively before the Public than has hitherto been done, and
thus confer a blessing upon thousands now labouring under that
distressing analady; the first application not only easing the patient
of all pain, but effecting in almost every case, a lasting cure.
As a remedy for Toothache, the proprietors can confidently recom-
mend it as one that cannot be ..rpassed.

This medicine is also a certain specific for Spasms, however violent,
especially in the stomach or bowels, and from its perfect freedom
from anything of a deleterious character, may be administered under
any circumstances with entire safety.
Prepared by CARSON and Co., Liverpool, sole Proprietors, and
sold wholesale, for them by Barclay and Sons, Edwards, Sutton,
and Co., Butler and Harding, I. Sanger, Dietrichsen and Hannay,
London ; nouthall Brothers, Birmingham ; I. and R. Raimes and
Co., Edinburgh; Bolton, Blanshard, and Co., York; Clay and Har-
vey, and E. S. Rogers, Liverpool ; and retail by the following

SICILY.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 11th publishes
official papers from Sicily, showing that, on the 28th
ult., the Torrearsa Cabinet had resigned ; but that
the President of the Sicilian Government, not having
been able to form a Ministry, the former Cabinet, in
obedience to a vote of the Chambers, had resumed
their functions, and published a proclamation to the
people, dated the 29th, in which, after stating their
reasons for their resignation and their subsequent
return to power, they recommended the people to
observe tranquillity, if they would succeed in their
struggle against Naples.

FRANKFORT.

The Frankfort Diet had not concluded the debate
on the Austrian question, when, the post closed on
the 13th.

On that day, M. de Gagern again spoke, and in-
sisted on the necessity
of opening negotiations with
Austria, which, he said, he was convinced would have
a satisfactory result. Austria could not enter the
confederation with all her provinces, and she could
not consent to a separation of them;
,so that negotia-
tions to define her positionin respect to Germany
were necessary. M. de Gagern, referring to the
Chief of the Empire, said that his personal opinion
was that the Chief should hold office with hereditary
succession.
