POSEN.

The Posen Journal of the 28th contains a procla-
mation of the military authorities (Posen continues
in a state of siege), whereby refusal is given to the
Polish League (Ligu Polska) to assemble within the
city or its military precincts. The object of this
league is the advancement and encouragement of
Polish nationality. The same journal states a fact
which shows the bitter animosity existing between
the Polish and German populations. Upon the last
market day (Wednesday), the Polish peasants came
is usual to Posen with their corn and other produce,
but mid-day arrived without their being able to dis-
pose of a single grain. At length a notice was printed
ind distributed among them in the Polish language,
.ind by order of the German committee, saying that
it had been resolved at a public meeting of the Ger-
man inhabitants and people that no German should
make purchases of any kind from Poles until the
Polos withdrew their address to their fellow-country-
men, wherein the latter were cautioned not to make
purchases of Germans.

SC IILES WIG-HOLSTEIN.

rim., SEPT. 29.—The Duke of lior.sTEIN GLucK-
,,:rAnT returned hither to-day from Berlin. Th.l.e
is no truth in the newspaper reports that the object
his visit was of a political nature.

This evening the Commissioner of the Empire,

SC:H.III)EN, arrived at Eendshurg from Berlin.'
In the discussion of the Schleswig Holstein
As.sembly oil tho 20th respecting the re-

note of Lord PALMERSTON, urging upon the Danes
to fulfil the promised modification, was spoken of as a

the discussion that the note bole the date of the 15th
of September.

The King of PRUSSIA has conferred the order of
the Itt d Eagle of the second class and the star upon
Baron VON MANDERSTROM, Secretary of the Swe-
dish Cabinet, and, as we are informed, one of the
negotiators in the treaty of Malmo.

FLLNSBURG, SEPT. 29.—Great complaints are made
by some of our shipowners that they are not so well
-reated as the owners of those vessels upon which the
Danes laid embargo, and which by virtue of the
Armistice have now all been suffered to go out of
lack upon payment of the fines and fees,. whereas
those vessels which were lent to the Danes for the
purpose of enabling them to transport goods are still
kept, but the reason assigned for this by the Danes
is that it is not improbable that they may be again
required.

BERLIN, SEPT. 28.—The KING intends holding
large reviews next week of all the troops stationed in
Berlin, Potsdam, and Spandau.

of buyers was by no means numerous ; yet the fin,st
parcels of Wheat of home produce, mc,ved off steadily.
at very full prices ; but the middling and itlf Tier
kinds ruled heavy, at late rates. We were rather
heavily supplied with free Foreign Wheat ; nev,rtht-
less, the demand for country consumption was good, and
late rates were fairly supported. The best molting Earley
was firm ; but grinding and distilling sorts re some-
what essier to purchase. For Malt, there was very lit th-
dernmad at last week's cur, encies. The quantity of
English Oats on offer was small, that of Foregn hirger.

It was stated that about 2/.
,or 21. 10s. per share
would bercalled up before the capital account could be
closed ; that 40,0001. would clear off all the debts of
the company. The engineer's salary had been re-
duced from 7001. to 4001. per annum. About 5,000/.
was due on calls, and the parties in arrear were pay-
ing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. It
was ascertained that the company had lost 1/. per day
since the fares were raised; but it was thought that
in time this loss would disappear. It was decided to
discontinue the third-class carriages, and give slow
trains covered, in connexion with the goods trains, at
stated hours.

Resolutions were passed adopting the report; that
directors be not allowed to travel on the line without
paying their fares ; approving of the dividend of 13s.
per share ; allowing the directors and auditor 3971.
fpr their services during the year; and electing seven
directors.

Another for the discontinuance of Sabbath trains
was negatived. After a vote of thanks to the chair-
man, the meeting separated.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1848.

Ambition is one of those brilliant and meteoric
passions which defy the duplicity of man, and can no
more be concealed under the assumed garb of pa-
tri6tisin, than a bright light can be concealed by a
gauze curtain. Whatever Louis NAPOLEON BONA-
PARTE may have declared in the tribune of the Na-
tional Assembly (whether under the dictation of M.
LcNGUI T or of M. LIIEUMINIER we know not, and
case as little), it is most certain that republicanism
has sly been adopted by him as a means to an end,
and adopted too with a reluctance and a reservation
quite as conspicuous. as that: which has been observ-
able in the political tergiversation of M. ODILON
BARROT. It would be ridiculous, and illogical,
and unsequential to charge us with rashness in
arriving at this conclusion as to the sincerity
of the newly-elected representative. We take his-
tory as our witness. We argue'lipon facts, not upon
a few honeyed words delivered in a moment of extra-
ordinary emergency. And we reason not only from
the events which transpired, first at Strasburg, and
sebHsquently at Boulogne, but from the pecularity of
the language employed by Citizen BONAPARTE on
the oecasion of his first letter to the President of the
National Assembly (M. Buenez), in which letter he
scrupulously avoided mentioning the name of the
young Republic. Now that he comes forward to
parade his civism, and to proclaim, in the
most elaborate manner, his acknowledgment of
the existence of the Republic, we are irresistibly
reminded of the reply transmitted to the Prussian
Ambassador by TALLEY RAND beginning "The Re-
public is much indebted, &c." The whole secret is
this :—Citizen BONAPARTE has discovered that
royalty is impossible in France, and that the only
chance for his advancement will be through the acquie
sition of the power of the Presidentship.
That royalty is decidedly obsolete in France, al
least for the present generation, has been demon-
strated by a number of distinct and significant oc-
currences since the day when the Provisional
Minister for Foreign Affairs proclaimed that
" Royalty is abolished !" When M. ODILON
BeßnoT tried to force the Count of Penis
wpen his countrymen as their child-king under the
re4eseer of the Duchess of ORLEANS, the people dis-
dAned to cry out "Down with the mock Dauphin!"
they scouted the pripcsith,n by an universal and
d shout of "Vice la Republique!" When,
veain, the advocates of the Bourbon dynasty, to the
ber of half. a eie Ii enthusiasts, clad appropriately
and decorated with white cockades,
endeavoured, on the 27th or the 28th of February,
to incite the Parisians to a demonstration in favour
of the Duke of BORDEAUX, it can never be for-
gotten how the people received their advances,
crying out—" Poor Gentlemen : they are under-
takers. Ail ? HENRI QUATRE, say you ? How
is he ? Dead? Abe—. 1 ......14ENRI QUATRE is dead—

BADEN.

The Gazette de Fribourg publishes a letter, dated
Mullheim, Sept. 28, which says—" The Council of
War, composed of three military men and three mem-
bers of the superior tribunal of the circle of the
Upper Rhine, met to-day and discussed the question
whether STRUVE and his companions should be
judged by martial law. The question will not be
settled till to-morrow. To the affirmative settlement
of this question the circumstance is opposed, that
martial law was not proclaimed till the 26th
September, whereas STRUVE and his accomplices
were arrested on the 25th."

The Journal de Frankfort says " STRUVE and
his wife, as well as his wife's brother, are kept in
close confinement in one apartment. The men are
very much cast down, but the women are cheerful.
They are all guarded by sentinels having cocked
pistols both in the apartment and on the outside.
They are not permitted to have intercourse with
any one."
London, England, 1848-10-04

ROME.

The French National contradicts the report cir-
culated by the Patria of Florence, that
the French Government had remonstrated against the
appointment of Count Rossi as First Minister of
Rome.

NAPLES AND SICILY.
The semi-official journal of Naples, the Tempo of
the 22d September, says—" The mediation does not
advance, because Admirals PARKER and BAUDIN,
who have taken upon themselves to offer their good
i,ffices to the Neapolitan Government, have not yet
received orders which render them ccmcetent to act.
The mediation has not been, and cannot be accepted,"
cuntinues the Tempo, "because no Government can
admit the right of direct intervention of other powers
in the affairs of its states.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 28th quotes letters
from Sicily, of the 19th, which anmounce the expira-
tion of the armistice and the resumption of hostilities.
It would also appear that the Me:sinians, reinforced
by many thousand Palermitans and others who had
hastened in mass to the scene of war from the adjoin-
ing countries, had surprised Messina, and occupied it
once more, taking ample vengeance upon the royal
troops, who had been forced to take refuge again in
the citadel. Another letter states that Melazzo had
;.lso been taken again by the Sicilians, the royal troops
having fled after a great loss.

ARIEL STEAMER.—The steam ship Pacha,
nrr:ved at Southampton from Leghorn, has brought 46
packages:, containing looking-glasses, blankets, linen,
tartlienware, and various other articles of furniture
saved from the steamer Ariel, British ship, the pro-
perty of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
U.nnpany, recently wrecked near Leghorr. The steam-
,hip Madrid, arrived at the port of Southampton from
L ghorn, has also brought a largo quantity of stores
19nging to, and saved from, the same vessel, comprising
641 boiler tubes and several packages of stores, consist-
ing of linen and furniture of various kinds, and other
necessaries, which formed part of the equipment of the
Arid, and having been saved are now returned to this
country for the benefit of the or'ners.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, ISIS

Such an extravagant amount of enthusiasm has
been recently engendered by the controversy about
our national defences, that the advocates of precau-
tionary measures have allowed themselves to become
abusive whenever their arguments have been opposed.
Some of our Contemporaries have in fact risen into
such a delirium of excitement that they hare indulged
in scurrilities against one of the most distinguished,
and eertal •
nly one of the most patriotic statesmen of

rashly and injudiciously when he expressed his
anxiety, the other day, to witness the diminution in-

armaments. He spoke with scarcely any of that pru_

such expressions as he did, his inspiration was drawn
rather from the gentle voice of the Evangel
than from the severe and solemn warnings
of Experience; his feelings were born rather
of Hope than of Prudence ; he epoke, in
short, rather as a philanthropist than as a politician.
He committed a grievous error in altogether con-

glorious misapprehension—it was the illusion of a

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sta,—l am extremely glad to see that the English
nation are at last awakening themselves to a sense of
their situation. The fact is that we have been so long
without having even the semblance of danger of a
war, that the present generation are accustomed to
consider the very idea of such a thing as quite pre-
posterous, but 1 am afraid that the time is at hand
when it will be seen that a war with France is ine-
vitable; and Sir, when of late years, has the probability
of such an event been greater than at present ? The
health of the King of the French is said to be on the
decline, and at the best he can only be said to be an
old man—a very old man. When he dies, lam of
opinion that the probability of a war will certainly be
very much increased, and I do not think that any
rational person will deny this ; at all events, it is too
true that we are an unmilitary people. But there is a
saying about being penny ssise a;;d pound foolish,
and while we are keeping up an enormously expen-
sive Government, yet we are grumbling at tb- idea
of spending a few thousands to place ourselves out of
the danger of a sudden attack. As to all the argu-
ments which I have heard against the probability of
the French attempting to land, it appears that they
are only the same which might be urged by any
nation, however weak they may be. lam sure that
there are hundreds of spots in the English
Channel, where, during the long light nights
of summer, an invading army might disem-
bark with the utmost facility, and probably
unresisted. Even with all our defences, fortune, which
has hitherto been so favourable to us, might now
desert us, but if we are prepared we shall spare our-
selves the blame awl the humiliation which will
follow, and may come too late. Sir, I am not a
military man, but I have the highest possible respect
for the army, and I hope that England may never
rue the day when we tried every means in our power
to prevent the increase of our military establishment.
The English people cannot shut their eyes to the
fact that the subjugation of Africa, which so long
amused the French, has been completed, and that a
very large force, flushed with recent successes, is now
wanting employment. I beg to be excused for troubling
you with these few remarks, and I remain, Sir,
A constant reader ofyour valuable paper,

of raw Sugar, as the home trade were anxious to continue
to purchase, whilst on the other hand merchants supplied
the market with caution. The demand was good for
every kind of West India for home use, and better
prices were again obtained, and the sales amounted to
460, making the total quantity sold for the week 3,200

ASYLUM FOR IDIOTS.

Yesterday the first general meeting of the donors
and subscribers to this institution was held at the
London Tavern, Bishopsgate.street, for the purpose
of electing ten out of thirty-six applicants on the
foundation of the institution.
D. IV. WHIE, Esq., proposed that the chair be
taken by Sir George Carroll, Bart.
Sir G. CARROLL, on taking the chair, said it
afforded him peculiar gratification in being called
upon to preside on the occasion of the first election of
the institution, and within so short a period of its
foundation, so recently as the 27th of October last.
The good effects of their exertions had already ap-
peared, in their being enabled, so soon after the foun-
dation of the asylum, to receive ten applicants out of
thirty-six. The great object of the charity was not
merely to take the idiot under its care, but especially,
by the skilful and earnest application of the best
means in his education, to prepare him, as far as pos-
sible, for the duties and enjoyments of life. All per-
sons, without regard to sex, or place, or age, being
destitute, are entitled to be elected on thefoundations,
childhood and infancy being preferred, as the most
favourable to carry out the objects of the institution.
The object of the meeting being the election of candi-
dates, he declared the poll open and the election to
proceed.
The poll was then opened, and at the close the ten
successful candidates were duly announced.
Amongst the donations announced were Sir Charles
Forbes, Bart., 100 guineas ; Sir George Carrell, 20
guineas; Baron Rothschild 10 guineas ; Mr. Sheriff
Cubitt, 10 guineas ; Alderman Sir Peter Laurie,
10 guineas ; D. W. Wire, Esq., 10 guineas, &c,
Mr. Under-Sheriff WIRE moved a vote of thanks
to the chairman for presiding.
Sir G. CARROLL having returned thanks, the
meeting broke up.

LONDON. FRIDAY. MARCH 10, 1848.

Our representatives will have an opportunity this
evening of revealing thear consistency, their decision,
and their patriotism to their
.constituents. All this
very.easily indeed—by
they may accomplishwalking
into a lobby—by delivering in a vote. Let them
bear in recollection that the question upon which
they will have to pronounce their decision is one of
unutterable importance to the industrial classes of
England, that the tendency of their decision will in
a great measure lead to their rejection or their re-
election on the dissolution of the existing Parliament.
Selfishness must plead with them as well as a disin-
terested ambition to better the condition of their
fellow-countrymen. The love of power must guide
them as well as the solicitude to legislate with
probity. Never were the eyes of the electors
of the United Kingdom concentrated with
a more .scrutinising inquisitiveness upon the
men whom they have accredited to the Lower House
than at this critical and unprecedented juncture.
Necessity is the lens through which the national
vigilance is directed upon the proceedings of the
Commons, and that vigilance is enhanced in intensity
at this particular moment by the imminence of the
necessity in which its beams are converged. Need
we say that the necessity to which we here make
allusion is the urgent necessity for economy, both on
the part of the people and the Government ?
economy on the part of the people in consequence of the
deterioration of commercial wealth resulting from

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the follen7ngletter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, la iG. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
Malty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grinistoue, of the lierbary, High-
gate for the etticacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having coot-
pletely restored the h ai r on her head, after using it about tour months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
lover was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to; the virtues of Mr. o.'s
ttegenator, feeling assured that many ladles would gladly purchase
an I 1,. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she Is, from ex-
perielce, net only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
,fxo, but as a ears of nervous headache; as a toilet perftimeiti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasire is answering any
ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Berougk."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, er turning grey, are w
drops en the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, canning it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In reset; of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very had, repeat it every quarter of an
astir. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It prodices
hair ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, 9.3 well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
