The Sun.
London, England, 1848-12-09 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 9, 1848,

the work of the Executive Power should soon be brought
to a conclusion, end further expressed a hope that the
representatives of the Austrian people should give their
most strenuous co-operation to this end.
At this period a note from his Majesty to the Presi-
dent Minister was read, whereby the existing Ministry
were reinstated in their offices.
A second note announced to the President Minister
the appointment of Baron Gulmer es a Minister without
any portfolio, but with a seat and vote in the Council of
Minister:.
Both these rescripts were received with the greatest
approbation.
The President proposed that the Members assembled
should greet such important measures with a cheer for
our constitutional Emperor, Francis Joseph. (The
whole Assembly rose and gave the Emperor three cheers )
Neumann (from the tribune)—At this moment when
the House has received news of such high historical im-
portance, news whose importance no one in the House
could deny, I conceive it to be our first duty to appoint
frern the general body of this Diet, a hid; has been so
hcndsomely greeted by his Majesty, a deputation for the
purpose of expressing the deepest respect for the young
Monarch; and also to express the thanks of millions to
Ferdinand the Good, the creator of our freedom. I pro-
pose, therefore, that this High House may name a dc•
putation which, if possible, to-day, or in any circum-
stances, to-morrow, may wait upon his Majesty at
This proposition was universally supported, and
passed.

Brauner—l also propose that from each Government
three members be chosen for this deputation.
Mayer—The importance of the moment must
certainly strike all in this Assembly in a double point
of view. On the one side by the joyful settlement
of the Throne on the Emperor Francis Joseph;
on the other side it is alleged by a feeling of sorrow
that his Majesty, the Emperor Ferdinand the Good,
whom they had to thank for the freedom of the
people, should have determined to retire into private life.
I conceive, therefore, that there should be attached to the
proposition of the previous speakers an address of con-
gritulation to his Majesty Francis Joseph 1., and I con-
ceive also that we are bound to forward another one ex-
pressive of our gratitude to our former good Emperor.
This proposition was also nuinerou,ly supported and
carried.
The President asked the Assembly to point cut how
the deputation was to be arranged.
A Member called out, " Let us go in a body."
This proposition met with opposition, and Brauner's
proposal was supported and carried.
Klaudy—We have joyfully hailed our new Emperor
with a hearty cheer; but every Austrian heart also beats
when he hears the name of the Emperor Ferdinand;
therefore, let us give him a hearty cheer.—(Lively
cheering.)
The President asked the Chamber to say by whom the
address should be drawn up.
Brauner proposed that the President should name five
members of the Assembly, who should have the task of
drawing up the address.
This project was carried, and the President pointed
out the following members:—Mayer, Neumann, Schu-
ztlka Brauner, and Ziemitilkovvski, to whom, at four
o'clock, he announced that they were chosen as a depu-
tation to the Government, and pointed out to them, for
their individual government, the localities which had
been determined on.
Upon the question whether the address of approba-
tion of the Diet should be entertained, a debate arose.
Stranhach thought that only the deputation should
take notice of it. The address should contain the ex-
pressions of their heart, but no political principles; any-
thing of the latter description would only compromise
the Diet, and bring about some delay.
Mayer—The object of the address is not political. A
debate would weaken the importance of rapid action.
However, it might be better to go on with the debate
than to have to lay the subject before a committee.
Tragam—Those who drew up the address should
know best.
Verkowski—The terms of the address may hardly be
political; but it should bear the expression of the feel-
ings of the Chamber. If it be not laid before the whole
Chamber, then it can be only the expression of the
feeling of the deputation, which it ought not to be.
Neumann—lt seems that the foregoing speaker re-
quires that the address and deputation should have a
constitutional importance. Another wishes for an ad-
dress to the constitutional Emperor, when he takes the
oath before the Executive Power. Another requires an
address, which, as a duty of courtesy, shall bear the im-
press of the people's representatives. If they did not re-
ply to the Monarch who had handsomely addressed the
Diet, they would ill fulfil the desires of the people.
Goldmark was therefore for sending off the address as
it was drawn up by the committee.:
Mayer—lt would only be saying the Diet congratu-
lates your Majesty on your ascension to the throne. This
is still the wish of the Chamber, and to give it its proper
expression is the duty of the Chamber, but it does not
belong to a deputation.
The Chamber, however, resolved that the address
drawn up by the commission should be sent off without
further revision, whereon the sitting was closed at three
o'clock.
The Cologne Gazette says—
" Austria will not grieve when she receives this intel-
ligence. The storms of an European crisis demanded a
chief of more energy. happy is it for Austria that the
Archduke Francis Charles does not inherit the crown of
his brother. The names of Francis Charles and Sophia
are the symbols of, reaction to every Austrian. Francis
Joseph has not yet been named in history; he therefore
ascends the throne clear of all antecedents. The Em-
peror seemed much to feel parting with his faithful ser-
vant Count Wessenberg, and after his withdrawal from
office paid him a personal visit, a very unusual conde-
scension. Tho Count has spent 55 years of his life in
the service of his country. He has addressed a note to
all the ambassadors, in which he assigns as the reason
for resigning his ministerial functions, his inability con-
scientiously to discharge his arduous duties in these
critical times, by reason of his advanced age and growing
infirmities."

Vienna continued tranquil, and WINDISCHGRATZ,
scared from his feast of blood by the execrations of
Europe, has transferred the trials of the remaining
insurgents from the court-martial to the ordinary
tribunals, and has been compelled by public opinion
to make some sort of public apology for his former
ferocious conduct. On this subject the Allgerneine
Zei lung, the official organ of Austria, says—
" Numerous are the complaints and murmurs against
Prince Windischgratz for the executions which have
taken place by his commands. In order to exculpate
himself and place matters in a right light, he has issued
the following proclamation; or, as it may perhaps be
more justly designated, vindication, in which he abolishes
future trial by martial-law:—
After the occupation of the city by the Imperial
troops, I carried out the measure which I announced in
my proclamation of the 20th and 23d ot October—
namely, that of proclaiming martial-law.
In doing this I was compelled by the most ur-
gent necessity to give a severe example to all those per-
sons who had hitherto imagined that they might with
impunity preach open insurrection, keep up a constant
state of fermentation amid the population of a large city
by means of meetings and revolutionary acts, whereby
they completely annihilated the credit and commerce of
the capital, spread general poverty, and, in a word, over-
whelmed it with the horrors of anarchy.
" ' I flatter myself that the great object has been at-
tained; and while the sentences pronounced by the
council of war are executed on the persons of those in-
surgents who were most deeply implicated, those par-
ties, on the other hand, who had been led astray, or
who were found less guilty, either received full par-
don, or the sentence was commuted into a milder form
of punishment.
" Henceforth, however, all persons who shall be
liable to legal inquiry for participation in the insur-
rection shall not be brought before the court-martial
for trial, but beforet he ordinary military commissioners,
who, if the accused boa: civilian, shall be joined
by the judicial civil authorities—a mode of proceeding
which admits of more lenity than by military law is
admissible in a court-martial.
" All the other dispositions fixed by my proclama-
tion of the Ist November for the term of the state of
siege remain in full vigour.' ''

exhibiting a passport signed by Cardinal SOGLIA and
the Ambassador of Austria, showing he was directed
to proceed to Milan by the Venetian states, declared
himself to be JOSEPII ANTONELLI, a well-known
political character ; upon which he was dismissed.
But he had hardly set out again at full gallop, when
the Governor, recollecting himself, exclaimed he was
certain the stranger was no other than JOSEPH
MASTAI, brother of of Pius IX. The surprise was
such, that no one thought at the moment of sending
after him. Many conjectures were afloat as to the
object of this mysterious mission.
The Genoa Gazate, of the Ist inst. quotes a letter
from Venice, stating that the whole of Dalmatia is in
a state of insurrection, and that some companies of the
Italian Regiment Wimpfen have fraternized with the
people at Spalatro, and seized upon the Austrian
steamer Count Mettrowsky.
Accounts from Turin state that it is perfectly true
that an attempt had been made to poison CHARLES
ALBERT, but that fortunately he did not become a
victim to this criminal attempt. The physicians de-
clare that they can answer for the life of the patient ;
but, unfortunately, it is to be feared that his health
will be seriously injured by the effects of the poison.
A change of Ministry took place in Turin on the
4th inst. The war party would, it was expected, be
called to office.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been
very firm, and perhaps even rather higher owing to the
favourable state of affairs at Manchester. Yesterday's
sales were 5,000 bales, and besides the qusntity taken
by the trade, 7,500 bales have been bought on specula-
tion. The Railway Share Market was rather better,
and rather more business was done.
The Bank statement, made up to Saturday last, is of
the character anticipated. The amount of the precious
metals continues to increase, but as yet there is no
fuller employment for the funds at command. We shall
probably find a little alteration in this respect before the
dividends arc paid. The decrease in the private balances
will go on, while a steady addition to the public lodg-
ments will be made. As to the loan operation the con-
clusion to be drawn is, that it was not completed at the
period of this return. The following are the principal
changes compared with the previous balance sheet:—

Tho foreign news to-day is chiefly of political interest,
but exercises no material influence. The Bank returns
are favourable, and there being no further sales for im-
mediate delivery, Consols are firmer at 87i There
has been a good deal of silver exported again this week,
but very little gold. The New Three-and. a-Quarter per

a Saturday, prices aro buoyant.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY

Thomas Ingham, lately keeper of a public-house near
Barnsbury-terrace, Islington, was charged before Mrf
Tyrwhitt with stealing a pier glass, the property o
Messrs. Kempster, of Mortlake-road, brewers.
The prisoner held the house at Barnsbury-terrace
from the prosecutors, from whom he took it with furni-
ture valued in the inventory at 901. For some time the
landlords could get no money from him for rent or for
the beer with which they supplied the prisoner, and at
length they put in a broker, when it was found that a
great quantity of the furniture had been removed
from the premises. The only part of the missing
property that has been traced is the pier glass in
question.

- A solicitor, who attended for the prisoner, argued
that, in consequence of the house and furniture being
indicted
under under an agreement, he could only be
under the statute for illegally pawning.
Mr. Ballantine (for the prosecutor) said that the
judges had taken such cases out of that statute, and had
laid it down, that pawning under such circumstances was
stealing. He added, that though he must press the
charge of felony, and ask for a remand, in order to pro-
duce evidence as to other; property, his clients did not
wish to deal very severely with the prisoner.
The prisoner was ultimately remanded.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT HULL.
(From the Bull Packet.)
We have this week the very melancholy duty to
record a most disastrous occurrence, which has in-
volved the lives of no less than seventeen individuals
The circumstances of this melancholy catastrophe are
simply these :—Yesterday (Thursday) morning,
about a quarter to six o'clock, a number of men,
women, and children, who were employed at the
Kingston Cotton-mills, and who resided in the
neighbourhood of the Groves, got into a boat as
usual at the ferry Opposite York-street end in
the Groves to be taken across the River Hull to
the Kingston Cotton-mills. According to the state-
ment of the ferryman, Charles Ireland, there were
upwards of twenty-five persons in the boat besides
himself—consisting of men, women, and children, the
latter from twelve to fourteen years of age. As the
boat was very full, and the tide running strong at the
time, the boatmen desired them all to be as quiet as
possible, as danger might be the consequence. There
was a vessel moored near the spot, which turned the cur-
rent of the river, and just as they pushed off, and when
they had got a few yards across the river, the current,
which was impeded by the vessel, caught the stern
of the boat in which they were seated. The boat im-
mediately heaved aside, and a simultaneous move-
ment was immediately made to the other end, and all
crowded together in one corner. The boat, as might
be expected, immediately capsized, and every soul
was precipitated into the stream. The shrieks and
cries of the unfortunate people were heartrending,
and brought several persons who were near the
spot to their assistance ; but it being dark at
the time very little hep could be extended to
them. Eight of the individuals only were saved
out of the 26 who were in the boat. The rest endea-
voured to save themselves by clinging to the boat or
anything that might be within reach, but were almost
immediately carried down the river by the tide, and
were no more seen. The boatman managed to reach
the shore with the greatest difficulty, and was saved,
but he is now in a very dangerous state. The others
who were saved were all more or less injured by com-
ing in contact with the vessels, stones, and pieces of
timber that were in the river. Immediately after the
occurrence no time was lost in getting boats out with
grappling irons in various parts of the river where it
was likely the current would carry the bodies, and
every possible exertion was made to drag them up.
About half-past seven o'clock the first body was found
near Mr. Harrison's timber-yard, on the garrison
side, and was shortly afterwards identified as the body
of Jane Moore, a married woman residing on the
Sutton-bank. About eight o'clock the bodies of two
other women were found near Mr. Gibson's ship-
yard in the Groves, named Catherine Dunn, 20 years
of age, residing in the Groves, and Mary Dunn, 21
years of age, of 12, Hood-street. Three other bodies
were afterwards dragged up near the same spot,
named Eliza Williamson, of Sutton-bank ; William
Smith, of Hood-street; and Hannah Bink, 16 years
of age, also residing on the Sutton-bank. On in-
quiries being made at the Kingston Cotton-mills it
appears that the following are the names of those
who are missing :—William Smith, Elizabeth Jack-
son, Catherine Dunn, Mary Dunn, Maria Dunn,
Maria Clark, Edward Spider, Emma Place, Sarah
Wood, Hannah Bure, Mary Pye, Elizabeth William
son, Jane Moore, and Ann Moore.
