THE TIAGUF, OCT. 29.—The Staats Courant üb•
li.hee the following official announcement : P
"The King has sent for Messrs. Thorhuke and
Nedermeger Von Rosenthal for the purpose of having
a personal conference with those gentlemen.
" The King has at the same time informed Messrs.
n.mcker, Curtiu;, and Sightenvolt that he considers
their mission terminated."
The Handelsblad, quoting this article, says "At
the end of six weeks 'w are in the very position we
might have been at the first. The negotiators have
been dismissed from their task, and the King himself
will now go to work with Messrs. Thorbuke and Ro-
senthal. Several days will now probably elapse
before a favourable solution is arrived at. Let us
hope that this will be the last phasis of the Minis-
terial crisis."
The Nieuwslode states that the King has 'not yet
taken any positive resolution. It likewise contradicts
the statement that the King had summoned the Pre-
sident of the Second Chamber to an audience.

The Carlsruhe Gazette informs us that the volun-
tary loan is a failure. This official paper, in ac-
counting for the non•success of the scheme, admits
that there is a certain lukewarmness and indifference
felt by the inhabitants for the interests of their native
country, though it will not accuse them of utter want
of patriotism and a willingness to make sacrifices on
the altar of that country. The pacification of the
country by shooting and military sentences still
continues, but it does not appear that these mea-
sures have re-awakened any sentiments of affection
or confidence in' the hearts and minds of the
"pacified."

THE PUNJAUB.

We have letters from Peshawur to the 14th inst.,
with a report on the weather for the month of August.
Prom this latter we learn that the highest range of
the thermometer during the month had been 104
degrees at four o'clock, P.M. ; the lowest, at sunrise,
81 degrees; the midday maximum 101 degrees ; the
midnight ditto, 100 degrees. The month had not,
however, been characterised, as would be supposed by
the indications of the thermometer, by any unusual

degree of heat over those which had just preceded it;
it even showed that the mercury did not range so
high as it had done in May, June, and July ; yet we
regret to find that more fatal cases of apoplexy had
occurred amongst the European troops during August
than in any month since our occupation of the pro-
vince. In the middle of the month there had been a
succession of exceedingly close and suffocating nights,
and in the space of three days no fewer than twelve
Europeans had died from apoplexy of the lungs alone :
several of these having been cut off in their barracks
unknown to their comrades during the night,
without having previously complained of anything
ailing them. During the entire month the casual.
ties had been 30, of which 26 were Europeans
' and four natives. Of the former, two belonged to
the third company first battalion, and one to the de-
tachment of Bengal Foot Artillery, seven to the 61st
Foot, three to the third troop of Bombay Horse, and
one to the second company, first battalion, Bombay
Foot Artillery, eight to the 69th Rifles, and four to
the Bombay Fusileers. Of the latter, one each be-
longed to the 31st Bengal Native Infantry, 13th
Bengal Irregular Cavalry, and 3d And 19th Bombay
Native Infantry. The whole force consisted of 9,154
men, of whom 498 had been on the sick list, or 5f
per cent. The prevailing diseases had been bowel
affections, fevers, and opthalinia. At the date of our
letters sickness was on the decrease, both amongst the
natives and Europeans. The hot weather had passed,
and the cold was setting in—the nights and mornings
being delightful, especially to those who had suffered
from the previous heat. Throughout the month of
August thunderstorms, with rain, had been of frequent
occurrence, the effect of which, in cooling the atmo-
sphere, had been felt for several days after their
advent. Heavy rain fell on the 7th, 9th, 15th, 16th,
17th, 20th, and 29th, and on several occasions light
showers had fallen. During the time it was raining
on the 15th the thermometer bad fallen twenty-sight
degrees in two hours ! During the month there had
been a beautiful display of brilliant meteors—red,
blue, and green—in the lower regions of the atmo-
sphere. As many as twenty had frequently been
counted in an hour. Their direction was principally
from north-west to south-east, but often to and from
other points of the compass. The following table
will show the strength of the several corps and
detachments now at Peshawur:—

London, England, 1849-11-01

and there would be an ample supply for all demands,

but, in consequence of the arbitrary rule above alluded
to, the vendors and purchasers could not be brought
together, so that the former would sustain serious
damage from the absence of a suitable demand, and
many of the latter would_ perish for want of the
chief necessary of existence. So it is under the
present system of currency. Everything must be
measured by the gold standard, and when that is
insufficient, the vendors are unable to dispose of their
goods, the purchasers to obtain supplies for their
pressing emergencies.
The issues of bank notes that have been made to
assist our metallic currency so long as the condition
of " convertibility on demand" is maintained can no
more provide an adequate remedy for the foregoing
evils, than the addition of another standard at York
or Liverpool would counteract the mischief of the
limitation of corn measures referred to. It might,
under certain circumstances, in some degree
alleviate its disastrous consequences. The de-
mand might be doubled ; a greater number of
persons might be enabled to procure supplies, but
many must still be suffering who could not obtain
corn measured by the only standard recognised by
law. The parallel would be complete if it were
enacted, that whenever the original standard erected
at the Royal Exchange was out of repair, so that it
could not measure as large a quantity as at other times,
the amount measured by its provincial duplicate should
also be limited in a similar proportion ; so that the
calamity occasioned by the failure of the one should
be increased in intensity by a deliberate injury to the
other, which,
if suffered to work freely, might, by
additional activity, in some degree compensate for the
cessation of work by the original.
What adds materially to the evil, and to the glaring
hardship of the case is, that gold, the only recognised

a beautiful passage. The Prince of Morocco disem-
barked the next day, and went to the Pacha's palace;
when leaving we manned yards, and fired a royal
salute, which was returned by the Fort on the Prince's
landing. They gave an audience to us on the follow-
ing day, and begged us to use no ceremony, but con-
sider them as friends ; they also made the ship's
company a present of four dollars each. We sailed
on the 6th of September, touched at Beyrout, but did
not anchor, and then proceeded to Cyprus, where we
were put in quarantine, and remained eight days.
On the 22d we sailed again for Alexandria, where we

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 Tight 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 Cham'iers. 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, 9si appointing them Knights of the Order
of the BIACk 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
ti l~lity, in an epoch which more than any other dis-
plays only vanity, baseness, and disloyalty. It is on
this condi:ion that you will be an ornament of our
nobility, of our admirable army, faithful and accus-
tned to conquer, and of our name. On this con-
di ion the fete of to day will serve you ai an encou•
rogement 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-
mi,sion, which, being thus complete, is forthwith to
enter on its functions.

lONIAN ISLANDS.

CAPTURE OF THE RINGLEADERS OF THE
CEIIIALONIAN INSURRECTION.
The rebel chief VLAcco and NODARO, the priest,
have been captured in Cephalonia ; the former, it is
added, by Sir G. H. WARD in person. Having had
an opportunity of destroying the Lord High Commis-
sioner, he having covered him for some minutes with
his rifle, he made his forbearance a plea for the exten-
sion of mercy. In person he was a fine man. A
council of war condemned them both to be hung,
and the sentence was carried out on the 19th.
Vlacco showed himself a wretched coward in the hour
of death—the priest was indifferent to his fate. He
had had his head shaved, and was divested of his
clerical garb before his ignominious punishment was
carried into execution. The hanging of the priest
has caused much excitement. Some say they were
denounced by their countrymen.
The result of the capture is the restoration of
tranquillity, the embargo laid on the island has been
removed, and military law has given place to the
usual routine.

CORFU, OCT. 19.—The Wiener Zeitung, of the
25th, quotes from the Official Gazette of Corfu to the
effect, that the two ringleaders of the insurrection in
Cephalonia, namely, VLacco and BOMBOTI, had been
delivered up to the Government by the inhabitants of
a village where they had laid concealed. The Lord
High Commissioner upon this removed the embargo
on the shipping, and also the state of siege. He had
not yet caused the amnesty to be proclaimed, because,
in consequence of certain confessions made by the
two prisoners in question, several individuals had
been arrested.

Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the
eliaraAeri,tics of the famed raletot (registered;, and 7 Vic., cap. 65)
in its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible
from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vi,e versa, at the pleasure of
the wearer, or as the mild or cold nature of the weather may re-
quire. This garment must be seen and worn to be properly appre-
ciated ; it will be found, perhaps, the best preservative of health in
this variable. climate. THE NICOLT, has been secured by Royal
Letters Patent in ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, and the
COLONIES ; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or
abroad, of Messrs. NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognirml AGENT

THE PUNJAUB.

'We have letters from Peshawur to the 14th inst.,
with a report on the weather for the month of August.
From this latter we learn that the highest range of
the thermometer during the month had been 104
degrees at four o'clock, p.m.; the lowest, at sunrise,
81 degrees ; the midday maximum, 101 degrees ; the
midnight ditto, 100 degrees. The month had not,
however, been characterised, as would ba supposed by
the indications of the thermometer, by any unusual
degree of heat over those which had just preceded it;
it even showed that the mercury did not range so
high as it had done in May, June, and July ; yet we
regret to find that more fatal cases of apoplexy had
occurred amongst the European troops during August
than in any month since our occupation of the pro-
vince. In the middle of the month there had been a
succession of exceedingly close and suffocating nights,
and in the space of three days no fewer than twelve
Europeans bad died from apoplexy of the lungs alone :
several of these having been cut off in their barracks
unknown to their comrades during the night,

and four natives. Of the former, two belonged to
the third company first battalion, and one to the de-
tachment of Bengal Foot Artillery, seven to the Glst
Foot, three to the third troop of Bombay Horse, and
one to the second company, first battalion, Bombay
Foot Artillery, eight to the 60th Rifles, ani four to
the Bombay Fuiileers. Of the latter, one each be-
longed to the 31st Bengal Native Infantry, 13th
Bengal Irregular Cavalry, and 3d and 19th Bombay
Native Infantry. The whole force consisted of 9,154
men, of whom 498 had been on the sick list, or 51
per cent. The prevailing diseases had been bowel
affections, fevers, and opthalmia. At the date of our
letters sickness was on the decrease, both amongst the
natives and Europeans. The hot weather bad passed,
and the cold was setting in—the nights and mornings
being delightful, especially to those who had suffered
from the previous heat. Throughout the month of
August thunderstorms, with rain, had been of frequent
occurrence, the effect of which, in cooling the atmo-
sphere, had been felt for several days after their
advent. Heavy rain fell on the 7th, 9th, 15th, 16th,
17th, 20th, and 29th, and on several occasions light
showers had fallen. During the time it was raining
on the 15th the thermometer had fallen twenty-eight
degrees in two hours ! During the month there had
been a beautiful display of brilliant meteors—red,
blue, and green—in the lower regions of the atmo-
sphere. As many as twenty had frequently been
counted in an hour. Their direction was principally
from north-west to south-east, but often to and from
other points of the compass. The following table
will show the strength of the several corps and
detachments now at Peshawur:—

Th Madril journals of the 25th and 26th ult. have

The Gazette contains a decree conferring on the
Minister of Foreign Affairs the power of filling up
all p!aces in the royal household. The appointment
of M. Armendariz to the post of intendant general
of the palace would, it was supposed, be an
nulled, and the situation be conferred on M.
Quinto. There were rumours of modifications in
tile Ministry, but they were not generally
credited. The Ministers had resolved on supporting
Mnlll. k 03 candidate for the presidency of tha
Chamher of Deputies. A letter purporting to be
written by the King to his confessor, Father Ful-
gencies, had been seized at the cost-office, but his
Majesty, on being questioned, had denied that it was
written by him. The King had become snore taci-
turn than usual ; but at times he expressed himself in
severe terms respecting Queen Christina. He was,
ho ever, attt,native to the Queen, and polite to the
Minister . The Gazette of the 25th contains an ac•
count of the reception of the Minister of the United
States by the Queen in private audience.

Prince de SVallerstein, stated that the time had not
yet come to enter into explanations with respect to

but he stated that the situation created by that con-
vention was only provisional, and that the Govern-

Constitution to Germany without the cooperation of

question for 7/. 103. to pay for the hire, and he
obtained the difference. It was proved that the body
of this cheque was written by• Lawes, and that it
was signed by Frazer, and there were other circum-
stances which left no doubt that they were all guilty
participators in the fraud.
The witness Collins, called in the former case, WAS'
again placed in the witness box, but, after one or
two questions had been put to him he refused to
answer any more, on the ground that he might
criminate himself.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all
the defendants.
The RECORDER observed, that this result placed
him in a situation of some difficulty with regard to
the promise he had made Mr. Ballantine, who he saw
had left the court, that he would postpone the judg-
ment upon Smith until the next session. The nature
of the connexion between the parties was now, how-
ever, clearly established, and he did not see any
ground for postponing the sentence. He added that,
under the circumstances, he would, however, only
pass sentence upon Smith upon the last indictment,
and Mr. Ballantine would have an opportunity of
placing before the Court, if he was in a condition
to do so, such facts as he might consider would in-
duce it not to pass any further judgment upon the
first indictment-.
The prisoners Lawes and Frazer were then s-21-1-
.eneed to he imprisoned and kept to hard labour for
18 months, and Smith was sentenced to 12 months'
.mprisonment and hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSIOL%-HOUSE.

Benjamin H. Bond, the clerk in Messrs. Currie's
banking house, who was some days since charged
upon suspicion of haying stolen 701., the property of
his employers, was brought before Alderman Carden
for final examination.
At the examination of yesterday the prisoner re
tracted, through his solicitor, the plea of guilty, and
stated that he laboured under the disadvantage at the
previous examination of being without legal assistance,
as well as of not having distinctly heard the Alder-
man's questions and ob ervatiens, and of being him-
self misunderstood as to the words he had uttered.
