THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING OCTOBER 19, 1849,

of the act. Count LOUIS BATTIITANT, we repeat,
was not executed, he was murdered, He was
murdered deliberately in cold blood, according to the
written laws of England, and according to that un-
written code of justice which has hitherto prevailed
throughout Christendom. It is said by BLACK-
STONE in his immortal " Commentaries," vol. iv.,
p. 178, that " when a criminal is executed
by the proper officer in pursuance of his sentence, this
is justifiable homicide." "But if it be done by any
other person," says HALE, vol. i., p. 501, "or not done
in strict conformity with the sentence, as for instance
if an officer behead one who is adjudged to be hanged,
or the contrary, IT is MURDER !" The assertion is
confirmed by COKE in his "Institutes," vol. iii., p.
52. Now, Count Louis BATTHTANY was sentenced
to death by the rope. Maddened by his many
calamities, he attempted to destroy himself, and,
in consequence of the wound in his throat,
he was not hung but shot. Therefore
say we, in point of law and justice, his execution
was a horrible and flagrant Muanait ! On the
Red EMPEROR—on Harsau—on every member of
the blood-stained Government of Austria will fall
the vengeance evoked by these gigantic crimes—a
vengeance to be inflicted, not by the scourge which
lacerated the unfortunate Madame MADERSPACH, but
by the rope that strangled AuLicii and the muskets
that murdered BATTIITANT.

Another ♦ictim has been added to those who have
suffered under the system pursued at our English
Universities. Another Oxford student, the third
since the long vacation set in, has been compelled to
apply for protection from arrest on account of debts
incurred during his undergraduate career. The
proceedings in the present instance differ in some
respects from those to which it was heretofore our
painful duty to advert. The last debtor did not apply
for his discharge from custody under the statute for
the relief of insolvent debtors. He sought protection
from arrest under the 7 and 8 Victora, c. 70, com-

monly called the Debtor and Creditor Arrangemen
Act. His debts amounted to 1,3281., his assets—nil

He was, however, willing to mortgage his future
labour, to toil for the benefit of his creditors, if an
opportunity were afforded to him of obtaining his
degree ; and for this purpose he required that they
should abstain from taking proceedings against him for
a period of three years, after which time he under-
took to set apart, out of any income he may receive,
the sum of 200/. per annum, in liquidation of his
debts; which sum he agreed to pay in each and every
year until all the debts and interest due upon them
should be liquidated. This proposition was accepted
by a majority of the creditors in number and value,
and, although strongly opposed by a minority, ulti-
mately confirmed by the Court.
The results will, however, be no less formidable to
the misguided young man than if he had to all in-
tents and purposes been discharged as an insolvent.
Indeed, in some respects, his position will be more
onerous ; for an enormous weight of debt will hang
over him, paralyzing all his future exertions. His
name will be stigmatized as a defaulter, as fully as if

he had obtained an unconditional discharge ;
while 2001. per annum, a large proportion of
what he can hope to earn in any profession or
branch of industry into which he may
enter, must be scrupulously set aside before he can
venture to apply a single shilling to his own use.
The dead weight of debt will be calculated to prevent
him from engaging in any description of business,
and the emoluments of a curacy, or of the earlier years
of a barrister's or physician's life, will be quite inade-
quate to enable him to set aside so large a sum in
accordance with his undertaking. His future
prospects are seriously injured, if not alto-
gether blighted ; and if, by extraordinary exer-
tions or singular good fortune, be should be
enabled to struggle through his embarrassments, he
must, during the best years of his existence, en-
counter difficulties and vexations sufficient to dis-
courage the stoutest and most courageous heart.
How often will he have cause to deplore the fatal
facilities placed within his reach, when young and
inexperienced, and just emancipated from a school,
he was proud to call himself a " college man," and to
inscribe his name in the ledgers of the civil and ac-
commodating tradesmen who pressed their goods upon
his acceptance
The advocates of the existing system contend that
the evil is irremediable ; that the tradesmen have no
means of ascertaining the position and prospects of
their customers, and that they might as well shut up
shop at once as refuse a certain amount of credit to
matriculated students. We dissent tato coi/o from
these assertions. There is probably no part of the
U❑ited Kingdom in which the contracting of liabilities
of any description could be so efficiently suppressed,
or in which the tradesmen have a better opportunity
of discovering how far they are justified in granting
the required indulgence. The ordinances of the

authorities are binding not only on all students in

statu pupillari, but also on all persons trading or even
residing within their jurisdiction. Any regulations
which they may please to promulgate can readily be
enforced. If they declare that a full statement of
every debt contracted by students should be returned
to each college at the conclusion of each term, and
that the same should be liquidated, together
with all college charges, before the conclusion of
the following terms, the matter would be placed on
the most satisfactory footing. No parent could
desire that his child should have the opportunity of
contracting almost unlimited debts ; his object in
sending his son to the University is that he should
complete his education, and obtain a degree to qualify
him for the practice of any of the learned professions;
it is not that he should amuse himself, or acquire a
taste for expensive pleasures; or, above all, that he
should become insensible to the evils and degradation
of debt. An indifference to the amount of liabilities,
a carelessness as to the demand of "duns," are,
perhaps, amongst the worst habits that a young man
can fall into in the beginning of life. We doubt
not that ninety-nine out of a hundred fathers
and guardians would rejoice that the most stringent
rules should be established, absolutely forbidding a
student to receive, or a tradesman to grant, credit,
under any circumstances whatever. The allowances
usually made are calculated to cover the expenses of
every description whatsoever incidental to under-
graduates, and if goods are required without
payment, it is only that the money actually
handed over to the student may be applied to other
purposes, which would not prove very satisfactory to
the parents or creditable to the children.
It is, however, with the University authorities that
the reform should originate. The tradesmen may do
much by proper arrangements amongst themselves,
but there are always to be found black sheep in every
large flock, and there will be some who, for their own
private purposes, will readily infringe the regulations
entered into for the general advantage. Such
a course might seem an undue interference
with the actions of the high-spirited youth who
resort to these classic grounds, but they will subse-
quently rejoice at the wise and salutary precautions
that preserved them from the ruinous and degrading
consequences of youthful folly and recklessness.
It is absurd to say that credit is or can be restricted
to mere necessaries. The system must be totally
abolished, or at least limited to a single term, or it
will still flourish in rank luxuriance. Take the
instance of the unfortunate debtor whose case was
brought before the public on Tuesday last. In
his schedule are to be found the names
of no less than eight tailors, whose united claims
amounted to no less than 2431. There are in addi-
tions, hosiers, 981.; wine-merchants, 1301.; chemist,
56/. ; surgeon, 481. ; confectionary, 241. ; jewellery,
601.; watch, chain, and ring, 251.; ditto, ditto, 201.;
guitar and music, 24/. ; cigars, 26/. 1 ls. ; and hair-
cutting, 15/. Bs. Bd., of which 81. 13s. was incurred
in 1848. We have heard of certain classic retreats
in the vicinity of the metropolis, at Brixton, Tothill-
fields, Coldbath-fields, Gil-spur-street, &c., where
a close-cut head is considered indispensable
by the presiding
certainly never heardauthoorfitieas,ny but we have
f
hair-cutting that would, at a reasonable rate of
remuneration to the operator, amount to 81. 13s.
in a single year. At a shilling each cutting the
young gentleman must have been operated on no
less than one hundred and seventy-three times in the
course of the twelve months, which, considering the
time when his presence was not required, would
nearly amount to a hair-cutting per diem. Verily,
if the same care was devoted to the cultivationpf the

interior that there was to the exterior of his head,
his learnin; must indeed be profound !

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The discussion on the validity of the election of
Guadaloupe occupied the Assembly during the whole
of the sitting of Wednesday, and terminated in a de-
cision declaring the election void. The dis-

cussion of the Homan question leas, therefore, been
postponed for twenty-four hours, and every effort has
been made to bring about a reconciliation between
M. THIBES and the PRESIDENT. These endeavours

have been so far successful, that it is expected no open
breach will arise in consequence of the discussion of
this question. A Cabinet Council was held at the

Elyse on Wednesday, and the PRESIDENT consented
to postpone the publication of his letter to M. '
ODILON, BARROT, although he declared that he still
maintained the sentiments expressed therein. During
the course of the day the British Ambassador had
several conferences with the PRESIDENT of the
Republic.
La Patrie contains the following paragraph :
" To-morrow, at the opening of the Legislative As-
sembly, the Government will explai❑ the course pursued
in the negotiations relating to the nffdrs of Rome, and
communicate their acts and th+ir ulterior proceedings.
It was mentioned at the Assemblylthat au Aide-de-camp
of the Emperor of Russia had arrived in Paris, and that
he had alighted at the Russian Embassy."

The Epenement says—
We are assured that the Council of Ministers has
resolved to bring forward its programme of foreign
policy, which is in accord with the letter of the Presi-
dent, and that an order of the day will be moved by the
Ministry, amounting to a vote of confidence."

The same paper says—
" The President of the Republic has consented not to
insert in the Moniteur the note of which we hare spoken,
in order not to complicate the Ministerial question. It
was on the intervention of M. Odilon Barrot and Gene-
ral Changarnier that he withdrew this note, which M.
Ferdinand Barrot, his Secretary-General, hod been
ordered to send to the Moniteur. The President has

formerly declared that, in withdrawing the note, he
wished it to be understood, that he did not intend to
mo lify his policy.
" An Aide-de-camp of the Emperor of Russia has ar-
rived at the Hotel of the Russian Embassy.
The Patrie of yesterday evening says—
" A favourable crisis declared itself yesterday evening
in the state of health of M. de Falloux. The fever has
again ceased, and the physicians have hopes of a
perfect cure, if M. de Falloux will consent to absolute
repose, which his friends are requested not to disturb, by
abstaining for the moment from all correspondence."
The high Court at Versailles was on Wednesday
the scene of a perfect. tumult. One of the witnesses, a
lieutenant of Gendarmerie, named PETIT, was, during
the course of his cross-examination, asked by Colonel
GUINARD, one of the accused, whether he had not
seen an officer of Gendarmerie thrust his sword into
the breast of one of the persons who formed the pro-
cession, and who advanced towards the troops un-
armed, and with his breast open, as if for the purpose
of parley or surrender. PETIT replied that he himself
it was who had stabbed the unarmed man, where-
upon all the accused rose and denounced him as a
coward, and M. THOURET, one of the counsel, de-
clared he was unworthy of the epaulettes he wore.
A. violent scene of mutual recrimination
followed, PETIT abusing the prisoners, and the Pro-
cureur-General demanding their expulsion, and that
the trial should proceed without them. The Judges
at length decided that as the incident was unpreme-
ditated, and as all parties had been alike guilty of
violence, the incident should be passed over.
M. BoURDIN has been elected for the Seine Infe-
rieure, in the room of M. GIRAUDIN, deceased, and
M. ANTOINE BONAPARTE, cousin of the PRESIDENT,
has been returned for the department of the Yonne,
in the room of M. ROBERT ; the latter gentleman
was a Socialist.

The Elide-de-camp of the Emperor of Russia,
who arrived on Wednesday, had yesterday an inter-
view with M. DE TOCQUEVILLE. He was accompa-
nied by M. Kissueerr, and was, it is said, instructed
by the EMPEROR to declare that he should consider the
entrance of the French fleet into the Dardanelles
as a declaration of war against Russia.
It is said that the Cabinet and M. TillEßs have
come to an understanding on the Roman question.
The Assembly met yesterday at one o'clock, and
the debate on the affairs of Rome was immediately
commenced by M. de Tocqueville, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs. He began by saying that he would
confine himself to a statement of what had taken place
from the period of the taking of Rome. lie saw no
❑ecessity for taking up the subject from a period
prior to that event, or for provoking retrospective
discussions. He would begin by assuming that they
were all unanimous on one point—they all desired
the restoration of the Pope.—(Shouts of " No,
no," from the Mountain.) Had he been
allowed to complete his sentence his mean-
ing would have been understood. What he
meant to say was, that all who had voted for
the expedition to Rome did so with the wish cif seeing
the Pope restored.—(Repeated cries of " No, no.")
lle knew that those who voted against the expedi-
tion had no such wish, so that there need be no mis-
apprehension.
The President observed that if there were such in-
terruptions the debate would never be brought to a
close, in proof of which he read a long list of names of
orators who intended to speak.
M. de Tocqueville proceeded. They wished, he
would repeat, the restoration of the Pope attended
with liberal conditions.—(Hear, hear.) Such was,
then, their starting point. The conditions to which
he alluded formed the object of the acts and
negotiations of the Government. Now, he would
say that, not only did those who voted for
the expedition desire the restoration of the
Pope, but such was equally the desire of the immense
majority of the people of the Roman States.—(Loud
denials from the Left.) The Government having
resolved upon an act equally desired by France and
by the Roman people, never did intend that the will
of the Pope should be submitted to coercion—never.—
(Much disapprobation.) For more than one reason
such conduct could not bs justified. They could not
coerce the will of a sovereign who, besides his temporal
rank, was the supreme head and pontiff of the Catholic
Church.—(Renewed disapprobation.) The right
which they had and which they exercised was, that of
employing a legitimately acquired influence for the
purpose of inducing him to accord liberal institutions,
such as should be conformable to reason and good
sense, and suitable to the circumstances of the time.
The Minister then, for the purpose of showing
that the Government had never wavered in its
views, read a long dispatch of the 19th of August, to
Messrs. de Corcelles and de Rayneval, in which was
indicated the general character of the reforms which
it would be advisable for the Pope to accord. Having
read this dispatch, he referred to the letters of the
President of the Republic, for the purpose of showing
that the conditions laid down .by the President were
in strict conformity with the dispatch he had just
read, and of which it might be truly considered a
succinct summary. It was, therefore, not true that
the President had done anything which was not in
• perfect accordance with the Cabinet, and they, there-
fore, were ready to sustain that letter. Having shown
what were the views of the Government, he had the❑
to come to the proprio motu of the Pope, which had not
realised their expectations.—(Laughter on the Left.)
If it had not realised their hopes, yet it did meet a
great part of them. If it did not contain the conces-
sions asked in their full developements, it yet possessed
the germs of all they wanted.—(Renewed laughter.)
They demanded civil reform and judicial reform—
well, both were promised.— (Laughter.) Yes, but
there was something more than promises, for what
else had they demanded? They had called for
municipal liberty. It was given. They had called
for provincial liberty. It was given. Thus two
important items were actually fulfilled, and the others
promised. The member then read a dispatch which
had been forwarded since the proprio mote, showing
how far the Government was satisfied, and recom-
mending further concession. To show how the inten-
tions of Government had been fulfilled, the Minister
read the instructions that had been forwarded to
General Oudinot on the taking of Rome, and which
were, that he should cause a general disarmanent, send
away strangers, and then form a liberal and moderate
constitutional party.
A Voice—What did you do with the Constituent
Assembly ?—(Movement.)
Well, these strangers were sent away, and we faci-
litated the ecoxlement of these men.—(Laughter.) It
was their duty to do so, for these men had by their
conduct ruined the cause of liberty.—(Much inter-
ruption.) The Minister then read a dispatch, in
which the Government recommended a more enlarged
amnesty, and he proceeded to say that France had,
i❑ all these transactions, performed a great part.—
(Cries of " No, no.") The Roman revolution had
commenced by violence.
M. Testclin—You lie.—(lmmense confusion.)
The President called on the secretaries to take a
note of the insult that had been offered, and to re-
cord that the offender had been reprimanded and called
to order.
M. de Tocqueville—Yes, he would repeat, not-
withstanding the improper character of the interrup-
tion, that the Roman revolution had begun with vice
lence and assassination, and France, in relieving
Rome from such rabble, had merited the blessing
of heaven. He had now exposed the acts and
thoughts of the Government, and he would leave his
statement confidently to the judgment of the As-
sembly.
The sitting was then suspended, and for a con-
siderable time the members became engaged in ani-
mated cony erstition. It was generally recognised
that there was no difference whatever between the
Ministry and i.I. Thiers, and consequently no Minis-
terial crisis,

As soon as the sitting was resumed, M. Mathieu
de la Droume addressed the Assembly. He said he
was one of those who had witnessed with pain the
expedition to Rome. He was one of those who had
predicted that the honour of France would be com-
promised : and yet both the report of M. Thiers and
the speech of the Minister for Foreign Affairs had
outdone all his previsions. Never could
he have thought that after all the promises
that bad been made, a Minister would have dared
to come forward and make such a speech as they
had just heard. Hungary had fallen. Lombardy
had fallen, and yet the Minister of the Republic had
not a word of blame or reproach for any but
the peoples who had fallen in their heroic
struggles. But the peoples would rise again, and
then what would be their feelings towards
France? He then proceeded to attack the new-
fangled devots who had shown such fervour in the
cause of Catholicism, to which they were formerly
indifferent or hostile. Yes, those men who for 20
years had nothing but sarcasms in their mouths
towards Catholicism were now smitten with extra
ordinary love for Rome.—(Cheers.) He asked
what could be their motives ? for surely piety did
not rank amongst them. They were repelled by the
clergy of Rome, detested by the people of Rome, and
become the Laughing•stock of Europe.—(Cheers.)
The expedition to Civita Vecchia was not directed
against the Roman Republic. They had declared
so over and over again. It was no light thing
for a Minister to deceive an Assembly, but it
was worse again to deceive a foreign people. They
had promised the Roman people to allow them to
choose freely their own Government, and yet had they
done so ? No, they put down the Republic, and
that was the true object of their expedition, and not,
as they pretended, to restore the Pope. It was only
after the Legitimists and Orleanists began their in-
trigues that they thought of restoring the Pope.
Now they wanted to get out of their difficulties, for
they could not incur the cost, responsibility, and
danger of a prolonged occupation of Rome, and hence
the way they were now trying to shuffle out of their
difficulties; but he protested, in the name of his
political friends, against a line of conduct so dis •
honouring to France.—(Great movement, and cries
of " Yes, we all protest.") In the course of his
observations M. Mathieu declared that M. Thiers had
said that the election of Louis Bonaparte would be
disgraceful to France.
M. Thiers—l never said so.
M. Bixio—l heard the words.—(Great agitation.)
M.Mathieu went on to show how the expedition had
been used for the sake of forwarding party interests,
and concluded with a vehement protest against the
report of M. Thiers, so servilely followed by the
Minister.
M. de la Rosiere went into an elaborate review of
the history and influence of the Papacy, for the
purpose of showing the services it had rendered, as
an institution, to the cause of civilization by oppo-
sing the principle of authority to the advance of de•
mocracy, and also for showing that its existence was
still necessary to true liberty in the world, and parti-
cularly to the independence of Italy.
The debate had not concluded when the post left.

We have to-day to record two additional murders'
perpetrated at I'esth on the 10th. On the morn-
morning of that day Baron JEgZENAK, Commissary
of Neutra, under the Revolutionary Government,
and C. SANZE were hanged. Both attempted to
address the people who had assembled round them,
but were prevented doing so by the beating of the
drum. Their bodies were left exposed for an hour
before being removed to the hospital. The execu-
tioner, who had stripped one of the bodies for the
purpose of getting possession of the clothes, received
a severe reprimand from an officer, who desired him
never in future to excite the fury of the mob by such
insulting conduct.
The Wiener Zeitung publishes an official an-
nouncement of the appointment of the Archduke
ALBERT as Governor of Mayence. . _

The price of the Austrin loan has fallen per
cent. below the price at which it was taken, in con•
sequence of the refusal of the Dutch capitalists to have
anything to do with it. The Austrian bankers were
virtually comp lled to subscribe for considerable por •
tions of it, and they will consequently be great losers
by the fall.
It is said that lIANiu has declared that he has a list
of 60 more who are to suffer

Count EDMUND ZICIIY, whose brother was hanged
by GeORGeY (the only execution which took place
on the Hungarian side during the whole course of the
contest), has written a letter to the editor of the
Presse, contradicting the reports lately spread,
making it appear that he had killed GSORGET. This
he does by proving an alibi, having been in Pesth
to take charge of some of the jewels belonging to his
brother that had escaped the robbers' hands, and to
have the body removed, and interred in conformity
w•i h the last will of the deceased With regard to
GEORGET, whom he persists i❑ calling a murderer
(the proofs of which, in the written sentence, are to
be given to the public in a future number of the
Presse), the Count disclaims all intention of treating
him otherwise than as a common assassin, whom it
would be beneath his dignity to call out; and " under
no circumstances will he ever fight with GEORGET ;"
and to revenge a murder by committing another is
equally far from his thoughts.

UONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was less excitement in the Liverpool Cotton
Market yesterday, the sales being t mall compared with
last week, being estimated at about 8,000 bales, includ-
ing 6,000 American, 800 Pernarn and Maraham at 61d.
to 70., 200 Bahia at qd , 200 Egyptian at 7d. to 73d.,
and 560 Surat at 43d. to 40. per lb.—For Railway
Shares there was a good demand at higher prices.
The Corn Market is steady to-day.
The Colonial Produce markets this week have been
well supplied, and prices have moved but little. Sugar
is tolerably firm, because holders evince discretion.
Coffee, after being flat, has rallied a little. Indigo has
gone off well, and Tea lower. Tallow is dull again.
The intelligence received yesterday afternoon from
the United States has proved discouraging to the spe-
culators in cotton, and it is to be hoped in the interest
of our manufactures that we may yet have
further intelligence that will relieve our manu-
facturers and spinners from the serious disad-
vantage nyder which they now labour. There
ctn be no doubt that parties suffer very grievously from
the rapid advance in the raw staple, and that to this
circumstance is to be attributed the many failures
that have occurred within the last few days.
Should the frost hold off in the cotton-growing
districts, the prospects may yet amend, and that this
impression prevails here, we have excellent proof by
the sudden fall in prices at Liverpool yesterday, as
above noted, and the quietude of the cotton market on
the other side of the Atlantic.
Notwithstanding the abundance of money in America
it it is remarked that " quotations for most securities
have, within the past month, fallen off several er cent.;
and that Government and State stocks have depreciated
more rapidly than the stocks of incorporated companies.
The tendency of prices is still downward, and we have
no doubt a fall of several per cent. will, within the next
ninety days, be realised. The fact is, that most of our
sound, safe, dividend- paying Government securities even
now range too high, and the demand for money in the
channels of commerce is sufficient to attract capital from
stock investments of all kinds."
We find in the Mexican accounts of the 16th ult.,
from Vera Cruz, that the Chamber of Deputies had
terminated tie discussion of the new tariff, and that
the Commission charged with the regulation of the
debt was expected almost immediately to present its
report which, it was said, would recommend the pay-
ment of half the arrears of interest, and the conversion
of the rust into a three per cent. stock.
By an arrival from Rio de Janeiro we have advices
of August 22. The rate of exchange for bills on London
was 26d., and there was not much doing. The Six per
Cent. Stock was at 873. Freights to Liverpool nominal,
and to London 455. Not much was doing in Coffee.
In the provinces all was quiet.
Late intelligence had been received at R io from Buenos
Ayres and Monte Video, but we do not learn that anything
important had occurred at either place. Business was
dull at Buenos Ayres. The Spider had arrived out with
dispatches from England.
From the Continent the advices received this morn-
ing are again rather conflicting, although the Ministry
at Paris seems to have patched up its disagreement for
the present.
The English Stock Market has not fluctuated much
to-day, and looks rather firmer, being favourably
affected by the completion "of the Consul settlement,
and the improvement in the Bente* at Paris. Consols
have been 911 3 for Time, and 913 to 92 for Account,
and are now 911 1, and 911 3. Exchequer-bills have
continued at 445. to 475. premium. Bank Stock has
been marked 1973 to 1981. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 914 to 92.
Business in the Foreign Market has been very limited.
Spanish Five per Cents. are heavy, at 153 to 16. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. have been marked 33i1. Mexi-
can are 263 3, being a shade higher. Peruvian Bonds
have been 53i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
nominally 533 to 1.
The Railway Share Market is tolerably well supported,
and there is much less excitement in it. North-Western
are very firm, and the others are much the same.
