PRUSSIA.

In its sitting on the 28th ult., the Assembly of
Prussia elected M. Unruh President, in the room of
M. de GrabJw, resigned, by 177 votes against 170
given to M. Philipps. M. Unruh is chief of the
moderate Liberal party; DI. Philipps belongs to a
more advanced party. M. Waldeck was elected a
Vice-President, defeating Al. Auerswald, formerly
Minister of the Interior.

A letter from Berlin, of the 28th ult., says that, in
the meeting of the Democratic Congress on the pre-
vious day, reports were presented on the progress of
democracy in different parts of Germany. At Hano-
ver' it was stated there is only one Republican club,
and there are few in Hamburgh, Bremen, Holstein,
and the Grand Duchy of Oldenburgh. All the
speakers distinctly declared that the object of the
clubs was the establishment of the Republic, and
some added the Red Republic, which excited great
applause. A deputy of Electoral Hesse said—
" Citizens ! We shall have no repose until all the
German Princes shall be driven from their thrones! "
This drew forth tremendous shouts of approbation.
The Congress has resolved to nominate a central
committee for Republican propagandism in Ger-
many, and other committees charged to report on
matters affecting the Republican cause. The discus-
sions of the Radical Members of different Parliaments
of Germany had commenced. A congress of National
Guards is to be held at Berlin towards the middle of
the present month.

SPECIAL CONSTABLES.
On Wednesday evening last, a public dinner was given
to the working men who acted as specialconstables in
the immediate neighbourhood of Peckham rye. The
dinner, which consisted of good substantial roast and
boiled joints, together with vegetables, and the truly
English dish plum pudding, took place at the Bull.
Tavern, High-street, Peckham ; and we feel bound in
justice to the worthy landlord, Mr. Bird, to say, that the
dinner and attention shown to the guests, would have
done no discredit to the London Tavern. At half-past
six Mr. Josiah Evans took the chair, the vice-chair being:
filled by Mr. T. Weston, jun., of the Stock Exchange,
surrounded by upwards of 70 fine healthy specimens
of English farmers, men whose stalwart limbs and honest
countenances formed a most pleasing picture. After
grace had been said, a vigorous attack was made, not on
the Chartists, but upon the excellent viands. After the
removal of the cloth, the chairman gave, in a most em-
phatic manner, the health of " The Queen," which was
drunk with an enthusiasm that made the welkin ring,
end which was followed by the National Anthem, which
was sung in good style. Then followed the usual
loyal and patriotic toart.. The Chairman then gave the
healths of the special constables of the Camberwell
district, the special constables of other divisions present
as visitors, the health of O. Strong, Esq., Col. Robinson,
who commanded the Camberwell divison, and the other
magistrates of the district, and thanks to th'em for the
judgment and energy with which they acted; the healths
of Captain Warden, Captain Hamilton, and the com-
mittee who superintended the dinner. The health of
the Chairman of 'the evening, Mr. Josiah Evans, was
then drunk in true English style, and he returned thanks
in a special manner for the special honour done him.
assuring the meeting that he should ever feel a special
gratification in having met his neighbours on such a
special occasion. The health of the Vice-Chairman was
_then drunk with great.enthusiasm, to which be replied
. in a very feeling manner. On the health of Mr. Bird,
rho landlord, being drunk, that gentleman said, that
being a family man himself, he could feel for those who
had families; and, as the wives of the specials had not
dined with them on this special occasion, be would have
special pleasure in distributing the viands left from the
dinner among their wives to-morrow, at twelve o'clock.-
This announcement was received with tremendous ap-
plause. Great credit is due to Mr. Wtstnn, jun., for
his exertions in obtaining the subscriptions &c. Each
of the working men were supplied, in addition to their
dinner, with three pints of good beer, and pipes and
tobacco; and we never saw men conduct themselves
better, or enjoy themselves more.

THE CITY PRISONS.

Alderman SIDNEY rose to submit a motion upon the
subject of the prisons of the city of London, in which, it
was so desirable to effect an improvement, and which
however adapted to ancient times, were at present wholly
unfit for the uses intended, according to the benevolent
spirit with which the penalties of the law were inflicted.
He described the prisons over which the Alderman had
authority as lamentably deficient in point of room. He
objected to the great consumption of time in bed, and to
the extraordinary laxity of system which prevailed. He
found, he said, that in Coldbath- fields Prison there were
two female wardens for every eleven female prisoners,
while in the Borough Compter there was only one for
every twenty. As to discipline, he despaired of any im-
provement of consequence within the present contracted
dimensions of our places of confinement. His attention
had been drawn to the state of Whitecross-street
Prison, which he found to be infinitely more like a
tea-garden or an extensive tavern, than a gaol. It
appeared that visitors innumerably are admitted, and
there they sit, men and women, smoking and drink-
ing and carousing with the prisoners, upon the pro-
perty of unfortunate oreditors during the whole of the
day. Now, certainly, in justice to the suffering creditors,
the regulations of the prison ought to be more stringent,
and the prisoners would derive moral benefit from the
change.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman Sidney concluded by
moving that the subject be referred to a committee.
Alderman CHALLIS seconded the motion.

The subject was then referred to the committee.
Upon the motion of Alderman SIDNEY a petition
against Robert Tuke, a sworn broker of the city of
London, was read. _ _ _

The parties appeared at the bar.
The petitioners stated that they were ready with the
witnesses to prove all the allegations.
Alderman COPELAND was surprised to find that such
a case should be brought before the Court of Aldermen.
It was only fit for the Central Criminal Court.
Other members of the Court expressed themselves to
the same effect, and
The Court then came to the unanimous determination
to erase the name of the accused from the list of brokers,
and postponed the consideration of the question as to
further proceedings to the next Court.
The question excited great interest.

Vale of -BLACKMOOR, near BLANDFORD.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
commissioned by the Proprietor to submit to PUBLIC
SALE, at the Mart, Bartholomew-lane, near the Bank of England,
on TUESDAY, November 7, at Twelve (unless previously disposed of
by Private Treaty),
The above truly desirable and very valuable and complete DO-
MAIN. It comprises (with the exception of only about twelve acres)
the entire parish of Woolland, embracing in a ring fence nearly
1,200 acres of rich meadow, pasture, arable, orchard, and thriving
oak woods, all freehold and tithe-free, surrounding a moderate sized
mansion, in complete repair, with beautiful pleasure grounds and
park-like paddocks, fish-pools, &c., with the manor and the perpetual
right of presentation to the church (a donative free from ecclesiastical
jurisdiction). The domain is highly picturesque, boldly undulated,
richly timbered, and abundantly watered with rivulets and springs. Its
woodlands and covers are peculiarly suited for the preservation of game,
and it is close to several famous packs of hounds, only a mile from
Abbey Milton, the splendid seat of Lord Pertarlington, and about
nine miles from Blandford and dye from Sturminster. The farms
have all suitable homesteads, and are let to responsible tenants at low
rents, but the mansion, woods, and manor are in hand.
The estate may be viewed on application to Mr. William Spearing,
at Woolland, and descriptive particulars, with lithographic plans,
may be obtained at the inns at Sherhorne, Dorchester, Blandfo-d,
Ste. ; at the Auction Mart, London ; of Messrs. Stone and Symonds,
solicitors, Dorchester; and of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, land
agents, in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall.

AINS WORTH.

Phiz's illustration to the present instalment of
" Crichton" is worthy of himself, of Crichton, and of
Ainsworth. It is the memorable descent of the ver-
satile Scot from the summit of the column. Caroline
de Crsspigny, not daunted by a "jewel of verse"
almost synonymous in Coleridge, writes a long
rhythmical effusion called "Genevieve." J. E. Car-
penter is still industrious in dashing melodies from
his lyre. Charles Hervey gives us a droll ollapodrida
of an article, " L'Embarras du Choix." And
beyond these, we have the conclusion of " The Black
Slaver," with the continuation of " The Countess of
Rudolstadt" and " The Homesteads of Brittany."

BRISTOL A FREE PORT.—BRISTOL OCTOBER 31,--.
Yesterday a most important special meeting of the cor-

effect the Act of Parliament passed during the last
session, by which the docks and harbour were transferred
to and vested in the mayor and corporation, who were
empowered to reduce the various dock dues, &c,, the
docks having been previously vested in a private company.
A committee consisting of the most eminent merchants,
Scc., in the town council, to consider what reductions
could be made, yesterday presented their report, which

dot shipping, which had hitherto been 35. per ton,

second class foreign shipping should also be reduced from
9.5. to ls. per ten; that the duties upon Irish shipping,
which had been Is., should be reduced to Gd. per ton;
and that the tonnage on coasting vessels should be re-
duced from 6d. to 4d. per ton.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived.
The Palace of Buen Retiro'is preparing for the
reception of the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER,
who are coming to Madrid at the pressing instance of
CHRISTINA, and much against the wishes of the Duke
of MONTPENSIZR, whose health suffers considerably
from the sudden alterations of temperature which are
of such frequent occurrence in the Spanish capital.
MUNOZ Duke of Rianzeres, who was never in
action in his life, has, thanks to Queen CHRISTINA,
been made a General.)

The Prince and Princess of CArUA are still at
Madrid.

The Spanish political exiles, wh• on their way
out to Cuba rose upon the captain and crew of the
ship, and carried her into Bourdeaux, and who were
given up, contrary to the law of nations, to Spain,
have arrived at Santander. NARVAES has, it is said
ordered the ringleaders to be shot on the deck of th;
ship.
The news of the rising in Arragon is confirmed,
and the insurrection is becoming every day more
general. The Carlists, after an action of some dura-
tion, entered the important town of Falcet, in the
province of Tarragona, and compelled the garrison
to take refuge in the church. Notwithstanding the
defection of CALETRUS, the army of CABRERA is
dally increasing, and he will soon be in a condition
to undertake offensive operations on a large scale.

PERSI A.

Intelligence from Teheran was brought to Con-
stantinople on the 18th ult. by a Tatter, who left
Tabrez on the 19th of September.

On the 13th of September the new SHAH, i vho at
the time of his father's death resided resit led at

ROME AND THE LEGATIONS.

The Alba of Florence publishes a notice by the
Prolegate of Bologna, dated the 9th, thanking the
people for their 'heroic resistance of the Austrians,
and informing them that an indemnity for their time
will be paid to such as require it. He advises the
people not to rely with too much confidence on the
terror that they have inspired, but to organize them-
seves in order to be well prepared against any (Ala
attacks.

The Pora has published the following protest
against the occupation of the States of the Holy See
effected by the Austrian troops :
"From the beginning of his pontificate, his Holiness,
considering the condition of the Pontifical States end that
of the States of Italy, as common father of the princes
and people, equally opposed to external wars and to in-
testine discord, imagined and undertook the negotiation
of a league between the princes of the Peninsula, this
being the only means capable of satisfying the desires of
its inhabitants without violating the rights of their
princes; and at the same time did not oppose the ten-
dencies of the people towards a well-understood liberty.
These negotiations were partly seconded, and remained
partly fruitless. Next came the great European events,
followed by those in Italy and the war. The Holy
Father, always faithful to the same course, to his great
regret declared himself opposed to taking a part in the
war, but neglected nopacific means to obtain the full intent
lie aa'd proposed to himself. But this conduct, inspired
by prudence and meekness, has not prevented, to his
great anrprise, an Austrian army from entering his 'state,
and occupying some territori,s, declaring that the occu-
pation was but temporary. It is therefore necessary to
make known to all that the dominion of the Holy See
is violated by this occupation, which, whatever might
have been the intention, could never be justly effected
without preceding notice and the necessary consent.
In so hard a necessity in which the violence of ex-
ternal enemies and the snares of interior ones place
him, the Holy Father gives himself up into the hands
of Divine Justice, and will bless the use of the means to
be employed according to circumstances; and, while
protesting by means of his Cardinal Secretary of State
against such an act, he appeals to all friendly powers,
that they may assume the protection of the States for
the preservation of their liberty and integrity, for the
protection of the Pontifical subjects; and above all for the
independence of the Church.

THE CHARTIST MOVEMENT.

ASHTON, THURSDAY.—The whole neighbourhood of
Ashton is still in great excitement.: Warrants are issued
for the apprehension of several persons. No clue has as
yet been found to the murderers of Bright. Every effort
is being used, and it is confidently expected that the
guilty parties will soon be discovered. The police are
exceedingly active in their exertions, and have found
arms of almost every description. The Chartist leaders
have all absconded, both from Ashton and Staleybridge.
The coroner's inquest was held yesterday afternoon, be-
fore Mr. Rutter and a highly respectably jury, consisting
chiefly of mill-owners. Afterviewing the body of Bright,
the examination of Warren, the old man who assisted
Bright, was taken.
Dr. Campbell then stated that he had made a post
mortem examination of the body; that he found a wound
a little below the nipple of the right breast, which must
have been made by a largo ball, which had parsed
through the lungs, fractured the seventh and eighth ribs,
and passed out of the back; that the body must have
been in a stooping posture when the ball passed through.
fie found also a large wound on the thigh, made by some
instrument which had passed quite through the leg; and
also several cuts on the left hand, as if made by seising
some sharp instrument.
_

The CORONER said that it would be best not to pro-
ceed with the examination for some time, as further
evidence would be obtained, and he adjourned the inquest
till next Monday week. Bright will be interred this
afternoon, anti the magistrates have signified their in-
tention of being present.
Two O'CLOCK P.M.—lt is reported that a young man
has'just been arrested in the street by a policeman, sup-
posed to be implicated in the riots.
The following has been issued by the magistrates:—

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

Tim EIDER, AUG. 13—The expectation of an ar-
mistice daily gains ground, and excites the happiest
feelings in the minds of the majority, although there
is, at the same time, a great difference of opinion as
to the conditions upon which a treaty of peace shall
be ultimately settled. The conditions of the armis-
tice are said•to be those previously proposed by Lord
PALMERSTON, with the modification that a Danish
corps of 3,000 men shall remain at Alsen and a Ger-
man corps of 4,000 Men in Holstein, while Schleswig
shall be altogether cleared of troops, with the excel).
tion of a few small detachments requisite for guarding
the hospitals. With these conditions is combined
the further stipulation that the Provisional Govern-
ment shall resign, and be succeeded by men of inte-
grity and judgment until such time as the affairs of
Schleswig-Holstein shall be definitely settled; while,
on the other hand, the new advance of General
WRANGEL'S troops into Jutland, owing, it is
said, to a fresh note from St. Peterslourgh,
which the march of thirty thousand men i
y-into
Holstein is threatened, while the continued presence
of the Russian fleet in our neighbourhood appears
sufficiently obvious, we are assured on the other
hand that England had fully concurred in the pro-
ceedings of Russia in the event of the rejection of its
ultimatum, menaced the adoption of decisive mea-
sures against Germany. Other circumstances com-
bine to make us believe that the Central Power will
energetically promote the negotiations for peace,
which is now also so earnestly desired by Prussia.--

• The Semaphore de Marseilles quotes a letter from

being prepared against Sicily, and, on the 6th, 50
sailing vessels and steamers, with 20,000 troops on

observes that journal, were not consulted respecting
the expedition, the preparations of which continued,
notwithstanding the presence of the British fleet.

FRANCE.

The Constitutipnnel says :
" The rumour has been current for some days past
that a new tumultuous manifestation was in the course of
being organized in Paris, and that it was looking out for
a pretext. Italy, it was said, was this time to be the mot
d'ordrs, Poland was on the 15th of May, and the parties
were to hide themselves behind the Legitimist flag,
as they had formerly borrowed that of Prince Louis Na-
poleon. It is said that the intention was to make an
imperious demand for an amnesty, and a declaration in
favour of the system of M. Proudhon, &c. The autho-
rities have taken measures of precaution, and, in case of
necessity, of repression, but the rumour appears to be
without any serious foundation."
The Univers says, that in the event of its being
deteriii -wed that Lombardy shall be • an independent
state, it is proposed that it should be conferred upon
the Duke of LZUCHTEIIIIERG, with the title of Duke
of Milan. " This combination," says the Univers,
" would be agreeable at the same time to France, to
Russia:, and a
receive with joy the on of Prince
EUGENE." •

blished. The second division will rest on Grenoble.
The third divison is arriving by forced marches from
Pa.ris to take a position. round Lyons. The fourth divi-
sion (the reserve), which left Briancon about a month
ago for the• interior, is also on its march to concentrate
itself-at Bourg."

assistance as the peculiar severity of the task required.
The first mile was dono in 8 minutes 5 seconds, and the
second in nearly the same time ; four miles occupied 33
minutes 50 seconds, six in 50 minutes 40 seconds, eight
in 1 hour 7 minutes 45 seconds, twelve in 1 hour 43
minutes 10 seconds, fourteen in 2 hours 1 minute 31 se-
conds, sixteen in 2 hours, 20 minutes 5 seconds, and
concluded this most extraordinary Herculean task in 2
hours 57 minutes 30 -seconds, winning by 2 minutes 30
seconds.

His style throughout elicited expressions of admira-
tion from the nobility and gentry present. He never
appeared to flag until the last three miles, when a " re-
fresher" was administered. He gradually grew more
distressed, but his courage carried him through the
task. He was immediately carried ;into the Magpie,
and, as he suffered from cramp in the legs, required
some sharp rubbing and attendance, when he soon re-
covered, and in the evening was enabled to go to his own
residence.
