The Roman Gazette of the 24,h ult. has the
following :

.".I.le—Cardinals of the Government Committee are in
the hatit of receiving every day persons who apply to them
for audiences. This morning tilty were waited upon by
M.' Notalo Ceccarelli, former Adjutant of the ad Bat-
talion of the Civic Guard of Rome, who read to them a
petition, in which he peremptorily dtmanded employ-
ment and the immediate payment of 100 acudi. lie
suddenly became outrageous, walked up to the C trdinals,
and showing them a knife he threatened to stab himself
if 143411 rpstncl
_acceded to. The C,e-
ing, they ordered him to be arrested. .11.wever, bt,foro
he could be secured and disarmed he wounded himself in
the breast."

A letter from Rome of the same date says—
" The Spanish troops arc rsitiv;.ly to evacuate the
Pontifical dominions. An order to that effect reached
General Cordova on Tuesday, and to-morrow the first
division is to embark. This unexpected resolution has
greatly- annoyed the Court of Portici, and the Spanish
Ambassador, M. Martinez de la Rosa. A young man,
named Diassilla, who formerly b,.longed to the Roman
Staff at Vicenza, has been arrested, together with the
priest Luigi Santsrelli, who escaped in September last
from the prison of the Holy Offi.:e, where he was con-
fined for a political offence."
The Legge of Turin states that General BARAGUAY
D'ITILLIEas has•remonstrated strongly with the tri-
umvirate of Cardinals on their neck scandalous
proceedings, and has given them distinctly to under-
stand that the PSeESIDENT of the French Republic
will not tolerate a repetition of them.

Mr. TURNER and M. MIGUIREB, a French Pro-
testant gentleman, have arrived at Rome, to remon-
strate against the imprisonment of Dr. ACHILLI.
They have been favourably received by General
BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS ; and it is said that, in order
to avoid a collision with the French and English
Governments, the Cardinals will connive at Dr.
AcHILLI'S escape.
Symptoms of insubordination have manifested
themselves among the Papal troops—cries of "Down
with the priests" were recently raised by a regiment
of Dragoons.
Letters from Naples of the 21st ult. mention that
great armaments wera in progress, but for what object
was unknown. The fortress of Gaeta was being re-
paired and armed, and the Pontifical frontier lined
with troops. Arrests continued. The correspondence
with Upper Italy had become almost impossible. All
letters, particularly those coming from Piedmont,
being opened and read.

THE PACIFIC SQUADRON.

VALPAR,ASO, SEPT. 30.—0 n the 2d inst., the
Asia, 84. fag of Rear-Admiral Phipps Hornby, C. 13.,
arrived from Callao, leaving that place without a man-
of- s ar.

The Amphitrite, 26, Captain T. R. Eden, arrived
from Oahu (Sandwich Islands) on the 24.1. She has
been expected fur same tinio, as she was required to
go to the coast of Mexico to collect freight. Little
time was given her, for on the 28:h she was dispatched
for the above purpose, and may be expected back in
March or April, when she will sail for England with
the freight collected. She had a long stay at the
Sandwich Islands, and her officers spoke in the highest
terms of the kind reception they met with there.
The Gorgon steam .sloop, Commander Paynter,
sailed for Central America on the 10th of August, and
may be expected here in January.
The Inconstant, 36, Captain Sheppard, which
arrived here on the 9;h cif August from San Francisco,
sailed for the same place on the 20th of August. She
brought a very trifling freight—about 26,000 dollars
only. Much regret was expressed by the officers,and
much discontent by the men of this ship, in having to
return to a place where all leave and recreation was
" taboo'd."

The Driver steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, was
sent on the Bth of September to search for the wreck of
the Queen Pomare, an English ship of 800 tons, laden
with guano and cocoa, bound to Cork, and said to have
been stranded in the early part of June last. She was
found on the beach off Point Cucahue, about 20 miles
to the southward of Curcooado Mountain, in lat. 43
deg. 29 min. south, long. 73 deg. 4 min. 30 secs. west,
a total wreck, with masts gone, back broken, half her
decks and the entire stern gone. From facts collected
at the Island of Chiloe, it appears extraordinary how
this vessel was lost, and the most extraordinary part of
the story is, that the captain or master of her declared
he navigated her up to lat. 45 deg. south ; so by this
account she must have drifted upwards of 100 miles,
the wind at the same time blowing on the shore. The
Driver returned to Valparaiso on the 21st, under sail,
showing most excellent qualities in that respect.
The sque,dron is distributed thus :—The Asia,
Driver, and Cockatrice tender, at Valparaiso ; In-
constant, at San Francisco; Daphne, at the South
Sea Islands; Amphitrite, en route to San Blas ;
Champion and Gorgon, on the coast of Mexico.

GERMANY

AND
THE NORTHERN STATES.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 31st ult,
publishes the new electoral law for the nomination of
Members to the Second Chamber in the Federal
Parliament. The following are its principal enact-
ments :

" Every independent, unblemished (u7ibesch( lte.ne)
German, who has attained his twenty-fifth year, is an
elector. As independent, must be regarded every ono
entitled to vote for the parochial elections of the place
where he resides, and who pays any kind of direct tax
to Governraent.—[This includes nearly the whole popu-
lation, all of whom (almoat) pay the class or head tax.]
As disqualified, are minors, bankrupts, and persons
under process, until they have satisfied their creditors,
and those receiving, or who have received, public relief
as paupers within the preceding twelve months. As
blemished, whose enjoyment of civil rights has been
suspended by judicial sentence; persons convicted of
bribery at elections shall forfeit their right of voting
for from four to twelve years. All unblemished
members. Public functionaries
Germans who have obtained their thirtieth year, and
arehavee
l irgeibbi
oedt abteleast electedthroe
years in any German state,
do not require leave to sit, but they must pay the costs
of their substitutes in office. Electorial circles of
100,000 souls shall be formed in all :individual states
(each circle entitled to nominate one deputy). Should
it occur in any individual state that there should be an
excess (above 100,000) of at least 50,000 souls, the
latter will form au electoral circle [that is to say, es in
Brunswick, whose population is about 269,000 souls,
the surplus 69,000 will entitle it to three instead of two
deputies]. Should the surplus not amount to 50,000
south, this surplus will be added to the surplus
of some nelghbouring state, and the two will form an
electoral circle. Small states having a population of at
least 50,000 souls will be (raided to elect a deputy.
[This is specially applicable to Lubeck, whose popula-
tion is, however, somewhat below 50,000.] States
(such as Schaumburg, Lippe-Reuss, elder branch, the
two llohenzellerns, Anhalt Coethen, &c.) will unite to •
gether to form an electoral circle.
" The number of deptvies to be elected by Prussia
will be 158."

The official Gazette of the Ist instant, according
to a telegraphic dispatch in the Cologne Gazette,
from Berlin, contains an announcement of the ratifi-
cation of the adhesion of the principality of Waldeck
t.) the Berlin treaty of the 26th May, having reached
the " Verwaltungs-liath." The whole number of
states who have joined this alliance is now 27 ; their
territories amount to 7,480 E quare miles (German,
equal to four and four-fifths English miles), with
24,250,000 inhabitants.

THE COAST OF AFRICA.

ASCENSION, OCT. 31.—Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Centaur, 5, Commodore Arthur Fanshawe, C. 8.; the
Tortoise, 12, store and guard-ship, Captain Hutton ;
and the Flying Fish, 12, Commander Patey, are here.
The Centaur arrived on the 12th, when she found
the Tortoise, Pluto steam vessel, Lieutenant Joliffe
commanding, and the store-ship Adventure, at an-
chor; the latter have both sailed, the Adventure for
England, and the Pluto, on the 18th, for the south
squadron. She his had some of her officers changed,
as it appears there were numerous complaints. Mr.
Moorman, who was mate of the Pluto, goes home,
and is replaced by Mr. Shewell, mate of the Centaur;
her assistant-surgeon, Dr. Corbett, is appointed to the
Snap tender, and Mr. Walling is appointed his sue-
cesor in the Pluto. The Centaur on her way across
chased and captured a schooner about 200 miles from
the coast; she was named the Velox, was under Bra-
zilian colours, fully equipped for the slave trade, but
had no slaves in. The Centaur has undergone a
complete refit and alteration; she is now rigged as a
ship, and has been given larger spars ; her fore and
main-topgallant masts have been lengthened, and the
alterations made are expected to improve her sailing
qualitifs considerably. The Flying Fish, with the
mails and dispatches for September, came in last
night. She reports the northern division as healthy.
There are no changes there. She is expected to re-
turn to the north coast, and the Commodore will go
hence to the Bights of Benin. The Bonetta will take
home the Decernter mail.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEATH OF ANOTHER VETERAN NAVAL OFFICER.
—We regret to announce the death of one who in his
day was amongst the best and bravest officers in the
royal navy—Captain Alexander Barclay Branch,
K.H. (1822), of. Greenwich Hospital. He attended
the hospital council on Saturday, in good health, but
cn arriving at his official residence he was attacked
with diarrhoea, and died on Tuesday, at one o'clock,
in the sixty-sixth year of his age. By his decease
an appointment to Greenwich Hospital is vacant, and
a pension for wounds, of 2001. per annum, falls in
hand.

Death has been busy of late with the old pen-
sioners at Greenwich Hospital. Numbers of them
are dying daily.
The Admiralty arrived at Holyhead by special
train from Bangor, on Tuesday morning, and in-
spected the harbour and packet establishment, and
were to leave in the evening in the Black Eagle,
Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Commander Cooke,
for Pembroke.

FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—The commander of her Ma-
jesty's packet Caradock, Charles Ladd, RN., on his way
from Holyhead to Dublin, on Monday morning, with
the mail, when about mid channel descried a small boat,
with only one man in it, making his way towards the
track of the steamer. The humane commander finding,
on near approach, that the boat was adrift, the man
without water or provisions, had him taken on board in
an exhausted state, hoisted the boat up, and brought
him safely to Kingstown. He proved to be a fisherman
named Rickards who, on rowing from Ireland's Eve to
Howth, on Sunday night, fell asleep, and got blown off
the coast. Rickards is a native of Howtb, and owes his
life to the careful look-out and humane feelings of Cap-
tain Ladd.
Yesterday at the "Westminster County Court, on
two cases being called upon for hearing, in which Mr.
Duncombe, the solicitor, was engaged, it was stated by
his clients, that the previous afternoon he was suddenly
attacked with Asiatic cholera, and was then lying dan-
6ezously ill.

'' WATERLOO-ROAD.

" To the return for the Waterloo-road the following
valuable note is appended:—
" Perhaps it may not be irrelevant to state that I
have taken considerable pains, since the commencement
of cholera in my district, to ascertain at what particular
stage of thedisease medicine had first been administered,
and I have no hesitation in saying that at least half the
cases I have registered were allowed to proceed un-
checked until the most'alarmiLg and dangerous symp-
toms had manifested themselves, but lately more cir-
cumspection seems, to have been used; nevertheless the
cases are still numerous in which persons seem (from
the painless nature of the attacks) to be unconscious how
highly necessary it is that immediate attention should be
paid to it. My inquiries lead me to concur with the
observations of a brother registrar:—" That the employ-
ers of the poor could do much to render them more alert
to thy terrible consequences of neglect or.uncleanliness."

worth, appends the following foot note to his returns
It will be seen by this return that the cholera has
raged fearfully this week in my district, the number of
deaths being double that of last week. I have registered
91 deaths, and have 15 medical certificates which I was
not able to get in the book on Saturday; and I may re•
mark, that it has spread over the whole district into
almo_t every street, and taking persons of all classes
from the most respectable to the poorest.'

THE CHOLERA AND DIARRHEA.

The Registrar- General's return for the week end-
ing Saturday, September 8, has, as usual, a long list
upended to it, containing the particulars of each fatal
case of cholera and diarrhcea. It also embodies short
reports from several of the registrars upon the pro-
gress of the disease and the sanitary state of their
districts. The information thus conveyed, though
compressed into the smallest possible space, is of great
value, as throwing light upon the mode in which
cholera commits its ravages, and many of the cases
recorded will not fail to suggest a mournful interest
in the mind of the reflective reader. Subjoined are a
few extracts from the return which have struck us
most forcibly :

filth. The wife of this man has since died in the hospital
(St. George's) of cholera.
" M. 29, policeman, cholera, 22 hours, 25, Union-

As officer of health of the district I inspected this bar-

of Tottenham court-road passing in front of it, a grating
close to the tront door, and at the time of inspection the
tid's had flooded the kitchen floor with very foul water,
from the sewer. The sewer debouches into the Thames

RUSSIA.

The Emperor Nicholas has sent General Hunan
the insignia of the Order of St. Andrew in diamonds,
which are accompanied by the following autograph
letter :
" We, Nicholas, &c., to General Haynau, Scc.:—
" The great services you have rendered during the
war which has been waged against the Hungarian rebels
in c upport of the just rights of your Monarch, our illus-
trious ally and friend, have given you an especial title to
our esteem. After having assumed the chief command
of the Austrian army you accomplished successful and
decisive deeds, and gait.ed great victories over the rebels
of Comorn, Szegedin and Temesvar always giving an
example of courage and intrepidity. It was agreeable
to us that part of our troops which was placed under
your command distinguished itself, and proved so worthy
of so great a commander. As a jdst acknowledgment of
your merits and distinguished military honours, we
create you a Knight of our Order of the first called
Holy Apostle Andrew, in brilliants, the insignia of
which accompany this. NICLIOLAS.
" Warsaw, August. 25 1849."

HUNGARY.
The following paragraph occurs in the communi-
cation of one writing from Vienna :—" The garrison
of Comorn appears to have definitively decided on
trying the fortune of war once more ; for, although
Klapka and a great number of his officers have left
the fortress, and are now in the imperialists camp, it
is known that the garrison is leading a jovial life,
eating, drinking, dancing, and gambling. It is
evident that the common soldiers either do not know
or do not believe what has been reported, for the
' Eljen Kossuth' is louder than ever. The prime
mover of the prolonged resistance is Count Pau-
Esterhazy:' It is clear from the foregoing tha
the famous letter written by Kossuth, proclaiming
Georgey a traitor to the country, was addressed to
Count Paul Esterhazy, and not to Count Cassimir
Esterhazy.

ROME.
A grand demonstration of the Anti-Clerical Go-
vernment party seems to have been prevented by the
vigour and vigilance of General Rostolan.
Baulked in their intentions at a display, the crowd
issued the following document, addressed to the
French Commander-in-Chief :

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DEATH OF ANOTHER VETERAN NAVAL OFFICER.
—We regret to announce the death of one who in his
day was amongst the best and bravest officers in the
royal navy—Captain Alexander Barclay Branch,
K.H. (1822), of Greenwich Hospital. He attended
the hospital council on Saturday, in good health, but
on arriving at his official residence he was attacked
with diarrhoea, and died on Tuesday, at one o'clock,
in the sixty-sixth year of his age. By his decease
an appointment to Greenwich Hospital is vacant, and
a pension for wounds, of 2001. per annum, falls in
hand. _ _ _

Death has been busy of late with the old pen-
sioners at Greenwich Hospital. Numbers of them
are dying daily.
The Admiralty arrived at Holyhead by special
train from Bangor, on Tuesday morning, and in-
spected the harbour and packet establishment, and
were to leave in the evening in the Black Eagle,
Admiralty steam yacht, Master Commander Cooke,
for Pembroke.

FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—The commander of her Ma-
jesty's packet Caradock, Charles Ladd, R.N., on his way
from Holyhead to Dublin, on Monday morning, with
the mail, when about mid channel descried a small boat,
with only one man in it, making his way towards the
track of the steamer. The humane commander finding,
on near approach, that the boat was adrift, the man
without water or provisions, had him taken on board in
an exhausted state, huiated the boat up, and brought
him safely to Kingstown. Ho proved to bo a fisherman
named Rickards, who, on rowing from Ireland's Eve to
Howth, on Sunday night, fell asleep, and got blown off
the coast. Rickards is a native of Howth, and owes his
life to the careful look-out and humane feelings of Cap-
tain Ladd.
Yesterday at the Westminster County Court, on
two cases being called upon for hearing, hi which Mr.
Duncombe, the solicitor, was engaged, it was stated by
his clients, that the previous afternoon ho was suddenly
attacked with Asiatic cholera, and was then lying dan-
Lerously ill.

The Journal du Cher announces that M. Louricn,
the representative of that department, who is impli-
cated in the affair of June 13, has written to M
Baroche, declaring his intention to surrender himsel
to take his trial before the High Court of Justice at
Versailles.
Much unexpected labour will be thrown upon this
same High Court of Justice through the following
circumstance :
The police made a most important seizure on
Monday, at the residence of a person named Merle,
former chief of section of the Society of the Rights
of Man. The seizure is in fact of such importance as
in the opinion of some to warrant,a postponement of
the meeting of the High Court of Justice for the
trial of the offenders of the 13th of June last ; if,
indeed, that postponement can take place consistently
with the decree of the President fixing the 9th of
October for the constitution of the Court. The po-
lice discovered in the possession of the person above-
mentioned documents of the highest importance,
which throw additional light on the events of the
13th of June, and clearly demonstrate that a com-
plete and radical social revolution was to have been
effected all over France. Among the papers are the
minutes of the most secret proceedings of the Com-
mittee of the Rights of Man on the 9th, 10th, 11th
12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of June last; proclama-
tions, drafts of decrees with the places in blank for
the signature of the new Dictator, formidable lists of
proscription, programmes of the most sweeping kind,
and all the terrible machinery of the new
.state of
• society which was to be established on the ruins of
• the old social world.

" M. de Falloux," says the Evenenzent of yester-

Oudinot was present, and gave precise, details relative
to his conference with the Pope, which may, serve to
smooth down many difficulties."
The ,regiments now forming the garrison of Paris,
with the exception of the 24th of the line, have re.
ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness to leave
after the general inspection. They will be replaced
by those now quartered on the forts and environs of
Paris. This change is totally unconnected with
political considerations, and has reference only to
arrangements for the health of `the 'troops.
Sir Moses Montefiore and Lady Montefiore, accom-
panied by Coldnel Gawler, have just passed through
Paris on their return from a tour in the Holy Land.
The Assemble. Nationale says :—" The Red party
resume courage in the midst of the dissensions of the
moderate party. A new journal patronised and sup-
plied with funds by sixty Montegnards, and which
will bear the title of Miniteur de la rontagne, is
announced to appear on the sth October. M. Ledru
Rollin will be one of its most ardent supporters. On
the other band, M. Marrast will also publish a daily
journal, which will be the organ of the Cavaignac

GENERAL POST-OFFICE.

ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTER.
Yesterday a numerously attended meeting of the
parishioners of St. James, Westminster, was held in
Williss Rooms, King-street, St. James's, for the pur-
pose of memorializing her Majesty's Ministers against
allowing any alteration in the system of Post-office
management wbareby Sunday labour would be in-
creased.

The Lord Bishop of LONDON, having taken the
chair, said he was highly gratified to see the strong
feeling which the present attempt on the part of the
Post-office authorities to increase the Sunday labour
in that establishment had elicited. Strongly as he
objected to the regulation proposed to be enforced,
and great as was the danger to be apprehended from
the enforcement, still he felt great consolation that the
proposal had called forth so general—so unanimous,
he had almost said so enthusiastic, an expression of
feeling, in opposition to it. Be considered such an
expression of feeling as a sure token for good; for
when he saw men of all sects of religions, and all
shades of political opinions, iniuential merchants,
bankers, and all grades of society, coming forward in
opposition to a proposed infringement on their day of
rest, he could not but consider it as a good augury. At
the same time, he could not help •feeling discouraged
