VIENNA, OCT. 4.—The accounts received here yes.
terday from respecting the health of his Imperial
Highness the Archduke °Aine were satisfactory, and
authorise the hope that the patient will shortly recover.
A great sensation is caused here by a sentence which
has been published against an officer of high rank, (G.
S***), for embezzling a private deposit entrusted to
him, which is, to be broken with disgrace. He had ap-
pealed against the sentence, but all the higher courts
confirmed the first sentence.
FRONTIERS OF GALICIA.—Mr. Von Meciszewski, the
well-known propagator and inventor of the groundless.
or entirely misrepresented article, which the Breslau
journals hare given to the world, respecting the affair.
of Galicia, has been arrested at Cracow, and called to
the bar of justice, in the very fact of distributing sedi-
tious writings.
l'Eszir, OCT. 12.—According to the Pesth Gazette,
the long-projected work for connecting the course of the
Theiss are now commenced in good earnest at Cson-
grad ; 30,000 workmen are already employed. It i,
likewise proposed to drain the marshes of Aliburnai
and Illamse, by means of a canal into the Tiaras. near
Lsgordorf. By the execution of this plan, 60,000 acre.
of the most fertile land will be gained, capable of pro.
ducing annually 40,000 bushels of wheat.

- VIENNA, OCT. 12.—We learn from Klansenburg, that
a spirit of moderation and calmness prevails in the
Diet, and that even a great portion of what are called
the young members, are gradually laying aside their
turbulent character which was formerly CO intolerably,
fillthe
thefir first royal
proposition, e
and beginning to assume a gloomy appearance. The

offices which have become vacant, and though several
candidates of .the opposition have been chosen, yet by
far the greater part of the persons elected consist of mo-
derate and Conservative principles. In a representation
to the Sovereign, on the election of the High Chan-
cAlor, the Estates express their humble wish that his
Majesty may have regard in the nomination to the ma-
jority of votes, and also to the creed of candidate, that
the chief offices may not be filled, contrary to the laws
of the kingdom, with members of the same confession of
faith (Count Teleki, the Governor of Transylvania, and
Baron Kemem, the President of the Diet, are both
Protestants), and that a Diet may bo annually held
in Transylvania, according to the spirit of the law. It
is understood that the Diet will adjourn for some weeks,
during the vintage, and when it meets again
will immediately proceed to the Urbarium.
OCTOBER 19.—A petition is in circulation at Mons,
requesting the magistrates of the city to adopt measures
fur lowering the price of meat, and points out two plans
as likely to bring about the result. The first is to give
permission to butchers to have stalls in the vegetable
market as formerly; the second is, to prohibit them from
buying up the provision of other butchers as they enter
the town, as in the case with other articles of food.

We are happy to see that, conjointly with the dear-
ness of provisions, the temperature still continues so
mild as to permit the labours in the open fields to be
carried on. The labourer profits by it and economises,
for he foresees and fears the continuation of the present
high prices of provisions; he does not yet require fire,
and this circumstance has a favourable influence upon
the price of this indispensable article of commerce. If
Providence preserves us from a very rigorous winter,
there is hope that we may be spared the realisation of
those melancholy prospects which now agitate many
minds.

ORSERADIS—Arriong the numerous articles
importation, the production of foreign soils, now taking
place from all parts, either for the first time, or in such
qo intities as until this season was unknown, way be par
ticularly mentioned the description of vegetable or root
now under notice, which never formerly constituted an
article of foreign supply, but which, during the past few
months, have been imported to an almost incredible ex-
tent. As an instance, may be especially remarked an
arrival a day or two since, by a small sailing vessel from
Ilamburgh (the principsi place from which it is im
ported), of no less than 333 bundles of the article. This
root, coming under the general term of vegetable, is now
ft ee of duty, and the steamers from the Continent have
invariably a quantity of the article as a portion of their
general cargo, for consumption in this country.
RAILWAY SreEn.--Competition for speed is going
on. The Great Western, it is said, are about to build
an engine with eight wheels, still larger than the " Great
Western," but with the weight more equally distributed
ever a greater number of wheels, so that it will not press
on any one point with so great and incessant weight as
their " Great Western," and will unite all the improve
merits which the working of the latter has pointed out.
The engineers of the uniform gauge aro not idle in the
work of seeking for greater speed. Mr. G. Stephenson
has more than one engine ready, which aro to accom-
plish sixty miles an hour. The Brighton Company also
haves w two engian nes which are to make the journey of fifty
lithin laour.—ltailway Paper.

BOWING AND HIS CON-
STITUENTS.
BOLTON, THURSDAY.—Yesterday evening Dr. Bow-
ing, the Liberal Member for this borough, in accord-
ance with his annual custom, paid a visit, to Bolton, for
the purpose of explaining his Parliamentary conduct to
his constituents. The meeting took place in the Tem-
perance Hall, which, notwithstanding the wetness of the
'vening, was crowded in every part. An attempt had
)een made to excite a prejudice against the Honourable
Aember on account of his continual refusal to vote for
she Ten Hours' Bill, but it failed.
ROBERT HEYWOOD, Esq., was called to the chair, and
briefly stated the elejeet of the meeting, and called
upon Dr. Bowring to address the assembly.
Dr. BOWRING came forward amidst cheers, and said—
Gentlemen, in one observation of my worthy friend,
Nhoin you have honoured by calling to the chair, I do
lot c• mcur. He says he is sorry to see such a crowded
assembly. Now, in such a presence I rejoice ; for it
s my pride, my highest pride and satisfaction, to
come before so many of the good people of Bolton as
are- now gathered together, to render to them—electors
and non-electors—an ace wnt of the manner in which
I have discharged that high and honourable mission
with which they have entrusted me. When lim -
posed upon myself this duty I voluntarily engaged, from
time to time, that I would come amongst you to discuss
taose questions of public and of Parliamentary interest
n which you are concerned; to give an account t u you—
[ your servant, and you my masters—of the views I have
formed and the votes I have given on public affairs; and
to elt.'eavour to ascertain; as far as I am able, how far
those votes and how far those opinions represent the
community with which I have the honour and privilege
of being associated. And now, at the end of one of the
most remarkable sessions of Parliamentary history—at
die end of a session in which questions of [the greatest
importance have been discussed and passed—l come to
tell you of the part which your representative has taken,
and I come to inquire of yoje whether, in your judgment,
[ have worthily fulfilled the engagement upon which I
entered—whether I have done what I promised to do,- or
failed in so doing. The session' has been long and labo-
rious—memorable I may call it. It has seen great
changes and great conversions. Your representative has
not been converted, because he was an old representa-
tive of those opinions which at last have obtained the
eanction of a Parliamentary majority. Your represen-
tative has not changed any of the views which first re-
commended him to your notice, or that influenced his
conduct, or his character and his conduct. I told you
from the first, what I now repeat, that the greatest good
of the greatest number would be the object to which my
attention would always be turned—that I considered
myself the representative of the interests of the many,
and especially of the unrepresented—for I know, as
you all know, that the rich and the mighty have many to
care about their concerns, many to legislate for their
.nterests, whilst I thought, and still think, that there are
too few who are now interested in the well-being of the
great mass of the community. Now representing, as I
always hope to do, the great interests of this great mass,
you will do me the justice to own that there are
some occasions on which my opinions have not always
seen in accordance with them, or with the opinions of
.nany of them. Yet to many questions on which the
cell- being of the laborious multitude is concerned, I have
endeavoured to devote a constant and religious attention;
and now I come before you to review what has been
lone. I can conscientiously put my hand upon my
Heart, and say that neither fear nor favour has influenced
any vote of mine; that as I never bought you, so I never
sold you, and that whatever has been, and whatever may
be the principles to which I am pledged, I am, and can
be firm; and I hope that nothing will seduce me from
tae path of public duty. From time to time one great
question has engaged the community in this district.
it will be to the honour of Lancashire that the founda-
tions were laid of that great alliance and magnificenct
union, bringing together the intelligence, the activity,
end virtue of the manufacturing and labouring corn-
inunity, and headed by excellent men, they marched
igainst the great citadel of monopoly. At the be-
ginning of this session of Parliament that citadel
appeared to stand on a firm foundation, and those who
defended it treated us, the assaulters, with scorn and
mockery, but aided in the good cause, and supported by
public opinion, we have been able to tear up that castle
from its very foundations, and have marched triumphant
over its ruins.—(Applause.) Bolton was asked its opi-
nion, and Bolton demanded, through its representativ,,
the immediate and total, the irrevocable repeal of the
corn-law.—(Cheers.) It has been irrevocably repealed.
I wish the repeal had been total and immediate.—(Loud
cheers.) That question still presses upon you and the
community at large. Far better would it have been if
the Government had done what a small band of faithful
tnen attempted, instead of leaving that miserable frag-
ment of a sliding scale, which will totter during the few
ears that it has to remain. Far better would it have
:seen if the repeal had been total and immediate (espe-
cially at this moment, when millions are menaced with
starvation), and if the ports of this country had been
ups ned for the free adtrisEion of food from every part
if the known world. You have heard me say again and
gain, that what it is right to do should be dom. corn •
aletely, and should te done promptly. I grieve for the
Inlay which has taken place, and I rejoice at the move-
:neat which is now taking place, entreating her Majesty
cu open the ports of this country to let the corn which
the people of this country want come in free from every
partof the world.—(Cheers.) We have, at last, I xhibited
a noble example to mankind. It was idle and vain fur us
to talk about free trade to foreign nations. They told
us to recollect—when we went with our arguments in
ravour of free trade, they pointed to our law: in favour
,f monopoly, and that was a sufficient answer to all our
kypocritical protestations. But at last the force of
argument and the effects of the urgent necessities of the
time have brought many men to our opinicns. Bat
the principles of free trade have been strong enough to
upset and to create governments. Their mission is
tieing accomplished here, and it is being accomplished in
foreign lands. Mr. Cobden, than whom there is no more
worthy representative of the middle classes of this
country—the bast portion of the population—that popu-
lation of whom a celebrated writer said there were the
dregs below and the scum above, but in the middle
classes of society there
to conquer in other lands. W—a:

at home will be accomplished abroad, and the barriers
and the
which have separated us from other lands will be broken
down, enabling us to communicate to them the en-
joyments of which we have a superfluity, and taking
from them the produce which they hare in ex-
cess. Free trade has found an utterance in
France, free trade has found an utterance in
Belgium, and even in Spain a committee has already
been formed, and our high•minded and honoured friend
has found a welcome in that once distinguished and
heroic land. It has spread through Europe, and it is
spreading in America and England, and now the words
of wisdom and truth are echoed over the land. The
voice of England is heard, and will still be heard in sup-
port of the interests of our common humanity. That
has no doubt been the great object of the past session.
It perhaps is more becoming in me to look to the pre•
sent and to the future, which they can influence, than to
the past, which they cannot change; and more appro.
priate is it that I should 'speak to you of future inten-
tions and of coming events, rather than of those which."
have passed away, and which we can neither modify nor
alter. Yet there is one subject on which I have carried
your friendly opinion and support, I speak of military
Hugging. I need not tell you of the horrors of that
system.—Mear, hear.) I voted for its overthrow again
and again in days gone by. But a case occurred so
horrid in its consequences, the case at Hounslow, in
which a man was declared by the verdict of a jury to
have been punished to death, who had not been con-
demned to die. That case excited in the public mind
so strong a feeling, that I deemed it my duty to
take advantage of that feeling to struggle for the
abolition of that species of punishment—a punish-
ment so dishonouring to our country, and so dis-
honouring to our race—a punishment which implied that
the men of England were made of baser and viler stuff
than the men of other nations who had not felt it neces-
sary to employ the scourge in order to preserve what is
called military discipline.—(Loud cheers.) I gave notice
in the House of Commons that it was ray intention to
move for the total abolition of this abomination. I was
requested
to delay. I was assured that I might " em-
barrass" the proceedings of the authorities if I mooted a
question so ticklish, and upon which the public mind was
so sensitive.. I thought it my duty to persevere and to
test the House of Commons, and to ascertain whether
there was in a House of Commons,
calling themselves
the representatives of the people, a majority who would
consent to tolerate the longer continuance of this wicked
and unworthy mode of punishment. The Duke of Wel-
Hunters became a little alarmed, and I was assured that
wait, everything should be d that

and that he hoped modify the punishment,

as I have done on this occasion and upon this topic, I
feel sure that I shall
not have forfeited your good opi-
nion.—(Loud cheers.) And now we stand surrounded
by many embarrassments and many difficulties. True
it is that the government of Sir Robert Peel has passed
