BOURSE--PARIS, FRIDAY, Df.E6C6.5.16.60,268 88
THREE O'CL, CH.—The Bourse was exceedingly steady
the whole of this day, and there is a marked improve-
ment both in Rentes and Shares. The speculation for
improved prices, after the election of the President, is,
in a great measure, the cause of the rise, as there was no
other news to account for it. The Roman Funds have
given way two per cent. in consequence of the news
having arrived that almost the whole of the College of
Cardinals had secretly quitted that capital. For the
Account, the French Three per Cents. have risen 30c.
Five per Cents. have risen 50c. ; and the Loan, 40es
For Money the Three per Cents. have risen 15c. ; Five
per Cents., 45c.; and the Loan, 40c.; Buns du Trtsur

vanced per cent! Spanish Activenotqauotehdat;e Threefauen

MUTUAL ASSURANCE.
THE SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND and
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY is founded on the principle
of Mutual Assurance or Contribution. The members are the sole
proprietors—they are their own assurers, and the only parties inter-
ested in the fund.
The Guarantee Fund set aside at last period of investigation was
upwards of 200,0001. This sufficiently secures the stability of the In-
stitution, and relieves it from the burden—which in proprietary com-
panies bears so heavily on the interests of the assured—of appropriat-
ing in many cases a large proportion of the profits to increase the
value of the stock, and raise the dividends of the proprietors.
The Whole Profits of this Society belong to, and are appropriated
for behoof of the assured.
Capital, realised from the accumulation of the Premiums, upwards
of Two Millions.

Annual Revenue, Three Hundred Thousand Pounds.
Average amount of Insurances during the last twelve years, up-
wards of Half a Million annually.

ITALY.

The latest intelligence that has been received direct
from Rome is to the 22d ult. At that date Rome
was tranquil, although all the Cardinals, except four
or five, had quitted that city, and the Deputies from
Bologna, who belonged to the party of Count Rossi,
had resigned their seats and quitted Rome. It was
said that Cardinal LAMBRAISCHINI had not left that
city, but was in the convent of French nuns called

"Alfa Langara," upon which, for protection, was
displayed the flag of the French Republic.
It was the Deputy PONTEZIAMI, who in the sitting
of the Chamber, on the 21st, proposed that a deputa-
tion should be sent to the Porn to assure
him of the submission and fidelity of the
Chamber. M. 13oNarARTE, the Prince DE
CANINo, opposed the notice as premature,
and declared that the Chamber ought to
wait until it learnt how far his HOLINESS meant to
keep the promises made to the people. He also con •
tended that the very meagre programme of the new
Ministry gave reason for apprehension that the hopes
of Democracy would be once more deceived. The
proposition was rejected.

The Prefect of Florence has announced his inten-

tion to prosecute the leaders of the riot on the 22,1,
and the Municipal Council have sent an address to
the GRAND DtTKE, praying him to take measures to
secure the freedom of the elections.

THE BRAZILS

Bto, OCT. 26.—Her Majesty's steam-sloop Alecto,
Commander V. Massingbird, sailed from Rio on the
28th of September with Mr. Southern, the British
Minister, and suite, for Buenos Ayres, where she ar-
rived on the sth of October; and by the last dates
from that place (7th of October) Mr. Southern con-
tinued on board the steamer, but would land on the
Bth it was expected.
The barque Partheon (North American) was lost
near Cape Frio a few days since on her passage from
Liverpool. It is expected she will go to pieces
before anything can be saved, on account of the high
surf.

The Crane packet has not yet arrived.
One of the boys of the Kestrel packet was drowned
off this harbour on the 24th ult.

went at 31s, low to mid 27s to 30s per cwt.
SPICES.—The supply of Nutmegs at market continues
on the decrease, and as buyers have shown more desire
to sell this week, a slight advance in the value is appa-
rent. Mace is in better demand. Cloves are not much
wanted. Ginger is not lower, but only a small busi-
ness has been concluded this week by exporters or
home trade buyers; the supply has fallen oft Fur Cin-
namon few buyers are to be met with, and sales can
easily be made upon the terms of the last auctions. The
low rates current for Black Pepper do not cause a better
demand for home use or shipping, and privately only
small parcels have been sold this week. White is in fair
demand. To-day at auction 56 bags Pimento sold at
4d per lb.
Izenrco.—On the part of home dealers little desire is
shown to do business in East India, and there are few
export orders at market. It is only in a few cases that
purchases can be made rather under last quarterly
sales' rates. For Spanish the market is dull, and prices
are looking down.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 22.—The arrangements for
the discussion of preparatory measures, which are
to be brought forward, and which are to lead the
way to a definitive treaty of peace between Germany
and Denmark, are to be brought forward at London
at the earliest possible moment.
The Royal Ambassador to the Court of London,
Count REVENTLOW, who has been staying here for
some time, will apparently not return to his post,
though he had received full instructions. On the
contrary, General OxuoLm departed the day before
yesterday for London, for the purpose, as we are told,
of bringing before the British Cabinet the views of
the Danish Government in relation to the points in
dispute.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 25.—Very great satisfaction
has been caused here by the fact that Russia and
England have declared themselves far more favour-
able and energetically for Denmark than hitherto,
and this at a moment in which the negotiations
for peace are opened in London, whither Coun-
sellor TRESHOW will go to-morrow. Major• General
OxgoLat, preceeded him a week ago, and will have
prepared the English Cabinet for the fundamental
condition upon which the present Ministry, in con-
junction with the King and Diet, is disposed to nego-
tiate, especially in the present state of Germany.—

FRANKFORT.

The draft of Chap. IV. of the Constitution was
distributed on the 28th, with a brief report by Pro-
fessor Dahlmann. Of the Lower or popular House
the report says nothing, except that its members are
be elected fur four years ; whereas the senators,
or members of the Upper Chamber, will be elected
for a sexennial period. The remaining details are
left
in active
decided by the election law, which is al-
ready active preparation, and will be brought out
as soon as the Constitution is voted in toto. Thus
much is known, however, viz.—that the basis of
the popular representation is one member to every
100,000 inhabitants, so that the Chamber will consist
of some 440 members. The Upper House evi-
dently perplexed the Committee the most. It differs
in two respects from the American system—first,
inasmuch as it possesses no competence of itself
distinct from the Lower House; and second, inas-
much as it does not give an equal representation
of every state, one like the other. No state is en-
tirely omitted, but several are conjoined for election
purposes ; and again, the number of senators
number
is not exactly proportionate to the size of the indi-
vidual state. The paragraph that will give rise to the
most serious discussion is that which gives an abso•
lute, not a merely protracting, veto to the head of the
Empire, a principle in favour of which the committee
decided by a great majority. The discussion will
open in about a fortnight's time.

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA.

The Paris National publishes iletterfrom.B—uclia-
rost of the 24th ult., stating that a Constituent As-
sembly was to meet in that city on the 15th Sep-
tember. It was to be elected by universal suffrage,
and to consist of 250 members. Turkey was, it ap-
pears, ready to consent to the union of Moldavia and
Wallachia into an independent kingdom, with a view
to raise a barrier against the encroachments of Rus-
sian Panslavism, but the Sultan did not find
himself sufficiently supported by England and
France. Soleyman Pacha had recognised the Pro-
visional Government elected a third time by the
people of Bucharest. He only required, in order to
propitiate Russia, that the number of its members be
reduced from five to three, and that it should as-
sume the name of " princely lieutenancy." Those
changes being once effected, he addressed a circular
to the Consuls of the Foreign Powers, inviting them
to open official relations with the Provisional Go-
vernment, which he undertook to defend against the
attempts of the reactionists, by placing the Turkish
army, if necessary, at its disposal.

HUNGARY.

Letters from Pesth of the sth instant announce
that the deputation of one hundred Hungarian re-
presentatives who proceeded to Vienna to have an
interview with the Emperor had returned that day,
announcing that the Emperor had refused to receive
them. The greatest agitation prevailed at Pesth.
A committee had been appointed to prepare two
manifestoes—one to be addressed to the nations of
Europe, and:the otheritouthe inhabitants of Hungary.
Commissaries were to be dispatched into the provinces
by the Diet. It was likewise intended to appoint a
committee to negotiate with the Croatians, and to make
to them all reasonable concessions. In the meantime
the war continued between the Hungarians and the
Croatians with various success. In the last engage-
ment the Croatians had been defeated.

FRANKFORT.

The Lieutenant-General of the Germanic empire
has published the following decree :
" The law of 23:h June, 1848, has defined the attri-
butions of the Central Power, as well fur the direction
of the army as for international relations and the exer-
cise of the executive power i❑ all affairs connected with
the safety and well-being of Germany. Paragraph 14
of this law imports that, in measures of execution,
the Central Power is to place itself i❑ accord with
the plenipotentiaries of the governments. On July 15,
the Central Power declared that it relied upo❑ the co-
operation of the German Governments in the exercise
of its rights and in the fulfilment of its duties ; and '
that they, i❑ concert with it, should pursue one and the
same end. Faithful to this declaration, and seeing
that all the Plenipotentiaries are named, it proclaims
as follows:—The Central Power acknowledges the
grandeur and importance of its engagements—it knows
that the solution of difficulties depends upon the strength
and firmness of its measures, and in cases where cer-
tain rights of separate states may be infringed, those
of the German Union ought to prevail. These are the
principles upon which must be founded the relations
between the Central Power and the plenipotentiaries.
They will facilitate the execution of the deci-
sions of the Central Power without having the
right of controlling them by exercising a collective ac-
tion. The Central Power reserves the right of placing
itself, according to circumstances, in relation with the Go-
vernments of the separate states and their organs, ex-
pecting that they will act in like manner with regard to
it; but for carrying into execution measures resolved
upon, the Central Power will address itself to the Pleni-
potentiaries, and receive their communications in
writing. The Central Power will keep itself constantly
informed by these communications with the Plenipoten-
tiaries, of the wants, the wishes, and the desires of the
separate States, so far as they may be compatible with
the interests of Germany in general."

PIEDMONT.

The National Savoisien of the 11th again repeats
the rumour that the Sardinian Chambers are to be
prorogued to the 16th of October. The troubles of
Genoa, it is said, have been the cause of the suspen-
sion of the measure. It also speaks of a confede-
ration said to be concluded between the Italian
powers, namely, Sardinia, Tuscany, Rome, and
Naples, the latter on the condition that the Duke of
Genoa do riot accept the crown; of Sicily, and
that all the powers should offer their mediation
between Sicily and Naples, to induce the former to
accept one of the sons of Ferdinand. It appears that
the park of artillery belonging to Sardinia, which
had been retained by the Austrians at Peschiera is to
b 3 given up by them. 1,500 cavalry have arrived at
Cremona to escort it back into the Sardinian states.
The Genoa papers contain a proclamation dated
the 7th, from Major-General Durando. The tone
of this document is very conciliatory, and re-
commends the Genoese not to give themselves
up to turbulence and illegality ; the following passage
is remarkable :—" The armistice is near expiring ; war
is almost inevitable. At any rate we shall have either
a really honourable peace, or a new war with the co-
operation of our powerful neighbours." Letters from
Alexandria, in these journals, state that French sol-
diers were arriving there in parties of from 10 to 15.
I\l"st of thorn had come, as their feuilles de route
show, from Chambery, and Geneva, others from the
Simplon. Three thousand of them were expected;
they belong to a great variety of corps.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 14.
The British and North American royal mail steam-
ship Cambria arrived at this port this morning, being
overdue. Her detention was enirely owing to head
winds for nine days. She brings 73 passengers,
4,0001. specie. The outward steamer Britannia L'd
reached Boston on the 26th ult., and the Niagara put
into Halifax on the Ist. inst.

The news brought by the Cambria is not of much
importance. The revolt of Paredes -in Mexico had
been effectually quelled, although he had been per-
mitted to escape. Herrera was conducting a firm
ar.d steady administration.
By advices from Jamaica, dated the 13th of August,
via city of Mexico, we have intelligence of a revolt of
the blacks in that iiland, on the 21 ult. No detail,
however, have reached us.
The Presidential question seems to be the prin-
cipal topic in the United States. at present, beating
even the Irish sympathisers by a long chalk. Van
Buren accepts the frQe soil nomination. Mr. Cal-
houn bas come 'out, in the name of his party, in
favour of Cass and Butler. As the chances at pre-
sent stand, it is difficult to foresee which party
may win.

Immense meetings of the sympathisers with the
Irish insurgents were still being held, but the un-
faithfulness of the news propagated by the Tribune
had told most effectually against the agitation. A
very little money was forthcoming, the opinion being
that 0 Brien and his party were cowards.
In Canada the Irish movement, for the time, had
been counteracted, no meetings being tolerated by
Government. Still a strong feeling is manifested on
behalf of the insurgents in the lower province.
The Montreal papers state that Lord Elgin will
not, as was rumoured, retire from the Government of.
Canada. The Countess had returned to the Govern-
ment House in improved health. Lord Elgin was
adopting means to suppress any manifestations of re -
bellion that might show themselves.
The following contains the latest details of the com-
mercial news. Money is easY, and exchange en Erg-
land 109 to 1091.

INQUESTS IN CASES OF FIRE.

The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court the follow-
ing communication from the Coroner of the City of
London:—

"My Lord and Gentlemen,—l beg leave to report to
this Honourable Court that in continuance of the ancient
practice of holding inquests or courts of inquiry in cases
of fire, I have appended hereto a list of the cases of
house.burning:in London and Southwark, investigated by
a jury during the last twelve months, with an account of
the expenses thereon.
" I may beg to mention that since my last report I
have been favoured with a communication from the
noble and excellent Lord Chief Justice of England, in
which his Lordship says, that long before he heard of
the suggestion that coroners should inquire respecting
fires, it occurred to him as a most desirable improve-
ment, and his Lordship, with his accustomed kindness,
adds, that it would give him pleasure to assist in any
measure that promised protection to the public against
one of the worst of crimes. .

-
" I am further assured by all classes of the great
utility of these inquiries; and, as an instance of the im-
portance with which they are regarded by the fire in-
surance offices, I may mention that in a recent case in a
metropolitan county, one of those offices not only paid all
the expenses of an inquest, amounting to upwards of 401.,
but presented the coroner with twenty-five guineas for
his time and trouble therein.
" These inquiries are generally long, occasionally ad-
journed, and sometimes attended by counsel, and as this
Honourable Court, with a view to the public benefit, has
voluntarily taken the payment into its own bands, I
venture to suggest, if the matter should be refered to a
committee, as on a former occasion, that the Court will
permit the committee to consider whether the fee of one
guinea hitherto paid by the City is a sufficient remu-
neration for judicial labour in cases occupying two and
sometimes three days in the investigation.
" I have the honour to remain, &c.,
" WILLIAM PAYNE, Coroner."
The communication was referred to the General Pur-
poses Committee.
Mr. Diourr postponed the consideration of the report
on the subject of the abolition of the Ecclesiastical
Courts.

THE UNION.

Adeputation, consisting of the Marquis of Down-
shire, Marquis of Westmeath, Earl of Lanesborough,
Earl of Erne, Dean of St. Patrick's, Hon. Cavendish
Butler, Sir Philip Crampton, and A. E. Gayer, Esq.,
waited upon his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant; at the
Viceregal Lodge, this afternoon, for the purpose of
presenting the following address:—
" We have the honour of presenting to your Excel-
lency a declaration against the repeal of the Union be-
tween Great Britain and Ireland, signed by 80,000
persons.
" Having originated with a few individuals wholly
unconnected with the Government, and been cir-
culated at private expense, we are aware that
however influentially signed, the number constitutes
a very small proportion of those who concur in
the opinions expressed in It. It was not designed
as a measure of party politics, but merely to afford
the well-effected an opportunity, if so disposed, of
publicly expressing their determination to maintain the
union between the two countries, and discoyu,nteatn

ANSWER.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,—This declaration, ema-
nating from the vast majority of those who represent the
rank, the property, the education, the commerce, and the
industry of
Ireland, constitutes an event of which the
importance can neither be disputed nor exaggerated. I
cordially thank you for presenting this memorable record
of your opinions to me, and I need hardly assure you of
Illy entire concurrence in the sentiments it expresses,
mid the determination it avows.
I am convinced that protracted political agitation,
whatever be its professed object, or the means by which
it is conducted, must be injurious to the tranquillity and
the progress of any country ; and much more so hen
the object, even it its attainment were possible, would
involve all classes in anarchy and ruin, after having en-
dured the terrible calamities of civil war. To those
who venture to affirm that Ireland is unanimous in de-

PRUSSIA.

The Ministerial crisis still continues. In the sit-
ting of the Assembly, of the 11th inst., the President,
AUERSWALD, opened with a declaration relative to
the sitting of the 7th, in consequence of which the
Members have requested his MAJESTY to accept their
resignation.

The PRESIDENT then read his MAJESTY'S reply,
which is as follows :

" I fully concur in the views expressed by you in
your report of the 9th of this month, that unless the
principles therein laid down be maintained, the consti-
tutional monarchy cannot exist. I shall, nevertheless,
accord to you upon the grounds which you have stated
your desired dismission from office. Until the formation
of a new Ministry, you will have to continue your office.
(Signed) " FREDERICK WILLIAM.
(Countersigned) "VON AUERSWALD.
"Sans Souci, Sept. 16, 1848."
"To all the Members of the Cabinet Council."
The PRESIDENT continued, "I have further to inform
you that the deputy of the German National As-
sembly, M. VON BECKERATII, has been summoned to
his MAJESTY, and I request the Assembly to suspend
their sittings for a definite period."
The report of the 9th, alluded to in the above reply
of the KING, is the official report in which the Minis-
ters tender their resignation, and in which they pro-
test the necessity of upholding the principle u hich
they advocated in the National Assembly, viz., " that
the right to decree administrative measures does not
belong to that Assembly." Construing the adverse
vote of the National Assembly as an obvious want of
confidence, the Ministers despair of the possibility of
maintaining this principle, and ask, on that plea, for
their dismissal.

There have been some trifling disturbances at Metz
and at Cologne between the citizens and the military.
