ORDER'S OF THE DAY.

Sir F. T. BARING said, according to the understand-
ing which had been come to last night, he should now
move the order of the day for the House going into a
Committee of Supply, as it was necessary for the public
service to take a vote on account. He hoped, those Hog.
Gentlemen who had amendments would therefore post-
pone them.
Mr. HUME, desirous that the House should proceed
to the debate on the question of the Irish poor-law,
would postpone his amendment; but stipulated that this
notice should stand on Friday's paper in the same situa-
lion it now did.
Colonel SIBTLIORY thought that before asking for
the mon6y some general financial statement ought to
have been made by the Government. If he could con-
sistently support the motion of the Hon. Member for
Montrose he should certainly cio so.

A NOVELTY for the approaching season is in
preparation to which a distinguishing name has not yet been
given, but which the inventors, Messrs. NICOLL, can recommend
as one of the most useful, warm, comfortable, and graceful articles
of gentlemanly attire ever produced. Specimen, can be seen at 114,
116, and 120, Regent street, and 22. Cornhill, as else THE TREBLE
Garment, or PALETOT, called THE NICOLL, which retains all the
characteristics of the famed Paletot (registered 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65)
is its exterior, and has the additional advantages of being convertible
from a warm to a light Overcoat, or vice 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. NICOLL has been secured by Royal
Letters Patent in ENGLAND. IRELAND, SCOTL I.ND, and the
COLONIES; it can, therefore, only be purchased in the country, or
abroad, of Messrs NICOLL'S (the patentees) recognised AGENT
and in LONDON only of themselves, viz., at 114, 116, 120,
REGEN I'-STREET, and 22 CORSHILL.

CORONER'S INQUEST.

DREADFUL SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN MERDEN, LATE OF
HER MAJESTY'S 23D REGIMENT OF FOOT.—Late on
Tuesday night an inquest was held before Mr. M. H.
Wakley, the Deputy Coroner, at the Westmoreland
Arms, George• street, Portman-square, touching the
death of Mr. George Foreman Merden, aged 58 years.
Mr. C. Constable, solicitor, of Bognor, stated that he
was the legal adviser of the mother of the deceased gen-
tleman, and on Sunday last he came up to town to the
deceased's residence, No. 9, George-street, Portman-
square, for the purpose of having an interview with him
respecting a proposal emanating from Mrs. Merden, for
him to live with her at Bognor, on account of his very
intemperate habits. After witness had remaiusd with
him a short time, the deceased left the rcom and went
into an adjoining sleeping apartment. He was absent
some time, and witness opened the door and was horror-
struck at beholding him standing over a military chest,
holding a holster pistol to his mouth. Before witness
could approach him, the deceased pulled the trigger.
exclaiming at the same time, " This is the way we do it."
Ilis face was shattered to pieces and he fell senseless to the
ground, bleeding most profusely. A surgeon was sent
for, who, upon his arrival, pronounced life to be quite
extinct. The pistol was loaded with ball, which passed
through the brain, and lodged in the back part of the
skull.
Mr. Francis Smedley, the High Bailiff of Westminster,
was next examined, and said he had known the deceased
intimately for several years past. The deceased had sold
out of the army about eighteen months since, and he had
entirely given himself up to habits of intoxication. He
had seen much service in India, and while there he had
drank to excess, and witness believed at times he was
unsound in his mind.
Mr. Welby, of No. 9, George-street, said the deceased
had lived in his house during the last eighteen months,
and he was constantly in a state of intoxication. On
Friday last the deceased ordered half-a-dozen of wine,
and drank the whole of it on Saturday.
The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict,
" That the deceased shot himself while in a state of un-
sound mind."

lONIAN ISLANDS.

The Lord High Commissioner of the lonian
Islands, now Sir GEORGE HENRY WARD, had been
duly invested at Corfu with the Grand Cross of the
Order of St. Michael and St. George, with great
pomp and ceremony. To celebrate this event Sir
GEORGE invited the Council of the Island and the
officers of the fleet to a grand ball at Government
House; but in consequence of the sudden death of
the Chief of the Order whilst dressing for the occa-
sion, the, festivities were postponed, and the house of
joy WA 'turned into a house of mourning.

MECKL ENB URG.

A letter from liamburgh of the 12th says—" There
exists at this moment an alarming crisis in the Grand
Duchy of Mecklenburg Schwerin and the Grand Duchy
of Mecklenburg Strelitz, and it is not unlikely to end in
civil war. These two states hate been politically united
for centuries, and possessed a deliberative Chamber,
composed, however, exclusively of the aristocracy, and
based on aristocratical privileges. In the revolu-
tionary tempest which swept over Germany, the
people insisted on having a Constituent Assembly
elected by universal suffrage, and the two Princes
were obliged to yield. The Constituent Assembly
met in the capital of Mecklenburg Schwerin, drew
up a Constitution common to and obli-
gatory on the two duchies, and declared
almost all the domains possessed by the GRAND DUKE,
worth more than 18,000,000 thalers, to be na-
tional property. The Duke and his family, as also
the Prince of PRUSSIA, the principal agnat,
'solemnly protested against thlk. The young Grand
Duke of SCIIWERIN accepted the Constitution,
and promised to promulgate it ; but the Grand Duke
of STRELTTZ, who is known for his firm and decided
character, positively ,rejected it, declared it null and
void, and so far as depended on him decreed the
dissolution of the Assembly. Efforts have been
made to induce him to recal these resolutions, but in
vain; and with his encouragement the nobles of the
country and proprietors of lands bearing certain
privileges have assembled of their own authority in
convention, and resolved to draw up a Constitution,
without any regard to what has been done by the
Constituent Assembly of the people. This conven-
tion has just sent a deputation to the Grand Duke of
ScavrEstim to declare to him that they do not
recognise in any one the right to abolish the old
Constitution of the country which had existed for
centuries, and which the GRAND DUKE, on his
accession to the throne, had sworn to respect, and
they declared that they will employ all the
means in their power to prevent any change in it
without their consent and co-operation. On the
other hand, the Assembly at Rostock will aot dis-
solve itself ; it is impossible to dissolve it by force,
and it persists in maintaining its Constitution. The
conflict is, therefore,very serious, and grave events are
anticipated."
The Cologne Gazette states that the new democratic
Constitution at Schwerin was solemnly promulgated
on 'the 11th.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY OF LONDON.

The LORD MAYOR rose to make the expected com-
munication to the Court..

Sir P. LAURIE having moved that the court be
cleared of strangers, upon a point of etiquette, until
his Lordship's statement should be made,
Mr. ANDERTON said he could not see why on such
occasions the public should be excluded. The prac-
tice of receiving royal communications with closed
doors was, in his opinion, "more honoured in the
breach than the observance." He hoped Sir Peter
Laurie would not persevere in his motion.—(Hear.)
Sir PETER LAURIE said that both Courts had uni-
formly adhered to the etiquette, and it was on that
account he submitted the proposition. The Court
had no reason to object to the presence of strangers
upon the ground that the communication was an
unfavourable one, for it happened to be quite the
reverse.—(Hear, hear.)
The gallery and space below the bar were then
cleared.

In the absence of strangers, the Court, we are in-
formed, proceeded in the following manner
. _ .

The LORD MAYOR laid before the members the fol-
lowing letter from Lord John Russell :
" Downing-street, Oct. 15th, 1849.
"My Lord,—l have the satisfaction to inform you
that her Majesty will visit the city of London on the
30th instant, on the day of the opening of the Coal
Exchange.
" I have tho honour to be your obedient servant,
‘‘ J. RUSSELL.

" To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor."
—(Enthusiastic cheers.)
Upon which Mr. John Wood, the Chairman of the
Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, brought up a
report upon the subject, and the Court, with loud
cheers, referred it back to the committee, with power
to take the necessary steps for the due reception and
accommodation of her Majesty and suite.
It is believed that her Majesty will go to the Coal
Exchange by water. The most splendid preparations
will be made for the reception of the Queen.

" And a report from the Coal, Corn, and Finance Com-
mitt?e on the opening of the new Coal Exchange."
The principal business of the ordinary paper re-
ferred to the operation of the New Corporation Act,
and was to receive a report on the reference upon the
Act to amend the Act of 11 Geo. 1., cap. 18, relating
to elections in the City.
Mr. Deputy HICKS having suggested an alteration
in the minutes of the last Court, rendered necessary
by an oversight of the mover of one of the propositions
relative to Smithfield-market,

Mr. Pam), the chairman of the Markets Committee,
asked whether it would not be advisable, at the same
time, to refer Mr. MacVnnon's letter to the com-
mittee ?—(Cries of "No, no," and laughter.)

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The massacres still continue at Pesth. A priest,
named GANZZKY, was shot on the 9th, and a Jew was
shot with him. A letter from Presburg states that it
is not true that PULSKY'S children are confined in the
castle of the city, but that the children of KOSSUTH
and of GUYON are imprisoned there, and are in a state
of such destitution that HAYNAU was afforded an
opportunity of insulting their misfortunes, by doling
out to them a paltry alms of 101., which was
left with the Governor •of the fortress so
that they were not even afforded an opportunity of
expressing their aritempt for him by the rejection of
his dole. Madame PERczEi,:and the Baronesses
SPLENYE are also prisoners at Pl'esburgh.
A great sensation has been created by the appear-
ance in public of ASSEIIAN'S female Aide-de-camp,
who is included in the capitulation of Comorn. This
second JOAN OF Anc, who is only twenty years of
age, has fought in fourteen pitched battles against the
Austrians.

MECKLENBURG.

SICILY.

Tha Genoa Gazette, of the 11th instant, announces
that a young man, named Joseph Lo-Monaco, was
shot at Noto on the 20th ult. ; and another, named
Livoldi, at Catania. Both had been convicted by
court-martial of carrying prohibited arms.
The above announcement is an illustration of the
tranquillity which reigns in Sicily, and of the love of
the Sicilians for the rule of King Bomba, of which
the Chevalier Fortunato makes such boast in his reply
to Mr. Temple.
London, England, 1849-10-17

TURKEY.

Up to the 30th no answer had been received at
Constantinople from St. Petersburgh or Vienna. The
Turks, however, were most actively preparing for the
worst; and the greatest activity prevailed in repairing
the fortifications of Constantinople and raising new
defences around the city—the troops and artificers
being engaged night and day on the works. A
feeling of perfect unanimity reigned throughout the
country.
The British fleet, under Vice-Admiral Sir IV.
PARKER, had left Corfu, on the 4th, for Athens.
The fleet was in the most excellent order, well
manned, well equipped, and well commanded. It
consisted of three three-deckers, Caledonia, Howe,
and Queen ; and three two-deckers, Prince Regent,
Vengeance, and Powerful; with the frigate Thetis,
the steamers Odin, Dragon, and Rosamond, and
some smaller vessels,. It was reported that the
Admiral had a twofold object in taking this cruise
into the Archipelago—namely, to put down piracy,
which has increased very much of late, and to wait
at a shorter distance from the Dardanelles the turn of
events at Constantinople,

W _R. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
'opposing them married, questionably contented. Dinldence, or a
ense of right determine the former, and miscalcnlatni hopes em-
.'tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
'1 caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
•emprosimg, harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
knfl broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness
social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item

CORONER'S INQUEST.

DREADFUL SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN MERDEN, LATE OF
HER MAJESTY'S 23D REGIMENT OF FOOT.—Late on
Tuesday night an inquest was held before Mr. M. IL
Wakley, the Deputy Coroner, at the Westmorelaud
Arms, George-street. Portman-square, touching the
death of Mr. George Foreman Merden, aged 58 years.
Mr. C. Constable, solicitor, of thgnor, stated that he
was the legal adviser of the mother of the deceased gen-
tleman, and on Sunday last he came up to town to the
deceased's residence, No. 9, George-street, Portman.
square, for the purpose of having an interview with him
respecting a proposal emanating from Mrs. Merden, for
him to live with her at Bognor, on account of his very
intemperate habits. After witness had remained with
him a short time, the deceased left the room and went
into an adjoining sleeping apartment. He was absent
some time, and witness opened the door and was horror-
struck at beholdir:g him standing over a military chest,
holding a holster pistol to his mouth. Before witness
could approach him, the deceased pulled the trigger,
exclaiming at the slime time, " This is the way we do it."
liis face was shattered to pieces and befell senseless to the
ground, bleeding most profusely. A surgeon was sent
for, who, upon his arrival, pronounced life to be quite
extinct. The pistol was loaded with ball, which passed
through the brain, and lodged in the back part of the
skull.

Mr. Francis Smedley, the High Bailiff of Westminster,
was next examined, and said he had known the deceased
intimately for several years past. The deceased had sold
out of the army about eighteen months since, and he had
entirely given himself up to habits of intoxication. He
had seen much service in India, and while there he had
drank to excess, and witness believed at times be was
unsound in his mind.

Mr. Welby, of No. 9, George-street, said the deceased
had lived in his house during the last eighteen months,
and he was constantly in a state of intoxication. On
Friday last the deceased ordered half-a-dozen of wine,
and drank the whole of it on Saturday.
The jury, without any hesitation, returned a verdict,
" That the deceased shot himself while in a state of un-
sound mind."

LATE CONFLICT IN KING'S COUNTY.
DUBLIN, TUESDAT EVENING.—A letter from Tul-
lamore, dated last night, contains the following in
reference to the coroner's inquest on the body of the
policeman who was shot on Saturday night in the
conflict with the corn-lifters :—The jury are just
delivering their verdict, which in substance finds that
Joseph Keys, who is now in custody, and John
Keys, not in custody, and reported dangerously
wounded, were present, aiding and abetting in the
parish of Killoughy, with a large armed party
unknown, and by which party Patrick Mortimer,
of the constabulary, lost his life, and at which
place four others were badly wounded, but that by
whom the shots were fired there is no evidence to
prove. In addition to the eight prisoners brought in
yesterday evening thirty others were brought in this
morning, one of whom was identified. The police-
man whom I mentioned to have been dead last night,
still lives; but is hourly expected to die. All the other
prisoners have been remanded. None of the reported
wounded civilians have yet been arrested, although
the police from the surrounding districts are scouring
the country night and day. I fear this coining winter
will prove annoying to landlords, agents, bailiffs, &c.,
as the country people seem to be determined not to
lose all their only sustenance."

DAGUERREOTYPES OF THE MANNlNGS.—Engraved
portraits of these notorious persons have this day
been published, the portraits being sketches of a
very exact and remarkable character, copied from
Daguerroeotypes taken by Mr. Laroche, with a ca-
mera concealed in his hat, during the examination of
the prisoners at the Southwark Police•court on the
6th of September. Both the countenances are singu-
larly repulsive. The engravings are of some interest,
this being the first time anything of the kind has been
accomplished in England.

PROSECUTIONS FOR GIVING UNSTAMPED RECEIPTS.
—By a Parliamantary Paper, No. 96, printed March 5,
1849, on the motion of Mr. lleadlam, it appears that the
number of persons prosecuted in 1847 was 102, and in
1848 the number was 119; the penalties recovered vary-
ing from 5/. to 601. Parties will at once see the import-
ance of not evadinc, the law.
Intellect and industry are never incompatible.—

RUSSIA.

The Ilamburgh Borsenhalle announces the dis-
covery of a new and very extensive conspiracy in
Russia. Its focus was at Moscow, and its object
was to depose the dynasty. of Romanoff. The chiefs
of the conspiracy are at present at St. Btersburgb,
and many members of the Senate are implicated in it.
A coup de main against the CzAa, was to have been
attempted on New Year's Day. The conspirators
who have been hitherto discovered all belong to the high
nobility and.to the Russian national party (the party of
the Boyards). Not a single Pole is compromised in
this affair. The conspiracy is exclusively aristocratic
and Russian.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar
York,

" To Mr. Thernas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.
"Bn:4—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced )(bout six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism • and t!'ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wenclerful inedicinz, 3 ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind. and
Invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

AUSTRIA AND POLAND.

The Gazette of Breslau, says that Austrian troop
have arrived at Czenstockan by railroad from Cra-
cow. After remaining a short time, these troops
marched in the direction of Wars av, leaving only a
small detachment at Czenstockan. It is said to be
the intention of Russia to concentrate all her forces
on the Turkish frontier, in order to be able at any
time to take advantage of events which may arise, and
that Austria will garrison Poland.

SAXONY.

In reply to a question addressed to M. DE BEUST,
in the Saxon Chambers, upon Wednesday (19th),
relative to the rumours of the Austrian concentra-
tions on the Bohemian Saxon frontier, that Minister
replied in substance, that " The Government had no
official notice of any such operations, and knew no
more of the matter than what it read in the public
.journals ; that it was meanwhile the incontestable
right of the Austrian Government to canton and dis-
locate its troops within its own territory as best
pleased its own convenience; arid that under any
circumstances their military disp,;sitions could not be
regarded as being connected with any hostile inten-
tions towards Saxony."
