LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1848.

Although nothing decisive had occurred at Moul-
tan up to the lit of October, there is sufficient evi-
dence in the accounts just received from Bombay
that the English forces remained in a satisfactory po-
sition, and that. the Punjaub was already virtually
annexed to the British dominions. Even supposing
that the Government continued to regard matters
with the same lethargic indifference as heretofore, the
troops under General WHISEI could not be considered
as in any way dangerously situated—the troops of
the Mootates being only superior to those of his
antagonist in reference to his dykes, brick-kilns, and
fortifications. While the army enclosed within the
walls of the beleaguered city amounted to scarcely
20,000 men, with a
comparatively insignificant force
of artillery, that
under General su numbered,
with fifty guns, a bWin
well armed, well body of 25,000 soldiers,
provisioned, well ammu-
nitioned, and in
excellent discipbl ienien.g cTo
nrtui
that the power of the MOOLRAJ was
nually, and almost momentarily, augmented by re-
inforcements of Seikh insurgents—but those acces-
sions were nevertheless materially
im-
portance by two considerations, first the numerical the
e uureineri
poverty of the auxiliaries furnished b reduced
ehieftains, and secondly the very dubious character
rebel
of their co-operation. In the meantime every effort
was being made throughout Hindostan to render the
superiority of British arms altogether irresistible.
While the Administration of the Earl of aenuousin
had resolved to prevent the recurrence of these in-
surrectionary movements along the northern
provinces by the wholesale annexation of the
territories of the young MAHARAJA, the mili-
tary arrangements tending to ;the transmission
of aid to General Wuisu and his colleagues, were in
en extraordinary state of preparation. A force of
10,000 men were preparing to march from the Bom-
bsy Presidency, while an army of 30,000 men was
expected to be very soon in the field, under the ban-
ner of Lord Gouau, the veteran Commander-in-
Chief. Besides Lahore, there were two other ford-
tjed places in our possession within the country now
agitated by rebellion—the fortress of Uniritsur and
that of Govindhur, in which latter no less than sixty
heavy guns were discovered. As far, therefore, as
forethought, activity, and numerical preponde-
rance are concerned, the British forces could
scarcely be in a more advantageous situa-
tion. Up to the commencement of October the
MOOLIZAJ was preserved from destruction solely by
the strength of his fortifications—not by a superiority
of artillery, of tactics, or of discipline, but simply by
the strength of his fortifications.

SAXON Y.

The news of the murder of BLUM excited an im-
mense sensation at Dresden and Leipsic. At Leipsic,
where he resided, and which' city he represented in
the German Parliament, the people rose and tore
down the Austrian arms from the residence of the
Austrian consul. BLum's children have been adopted
by the Democratic clubs of Germany, who took upon
themselves the duty of providing for his widow and

WOOL.

Large public sales of Colonial Wool, which will be
continued until the 2d proximo, were commenced in
London on Thursday last. Up to the present time, a
comparatively small quantity of Wool thus offered has
been disposed of ; but the prices of the preceding auc-
tions have been mostly supported. Very few continental
buyers have been in attendance. During last week the
imports of Wool into London were confined to about 120
bales from Hamburgh. In the private market exceed-
ingly little business is doing, at late rates.

TALLOW.
The stock of Tallow still continues heavy; neverthe-
less, the market is tolerably firm, and prices are fairly
supported. There are now about 8,000 casks on their
way from St. Petersburgh, which induces great caution
on the part of the dealers. P.Y.C. on the spot is selling
this morning at 45s 3d, and for forward delivery at
44s 9d per cwt. Town Tallow is 45s 6d per cwt, net
cash; Rough fat, 2s 7d per 81bs.

TUB CUSTOMS —The Government has instituted a
Commission, or rather a Committee of Inquiry, into the
Customs' department, with a view to investigate what
reductions can be made in that branch of the public ser-
vice—a course which either has been or will be adopted
in all public departments, where a saving of expenditure
is to be expected. The members will be chiefly com-
posed of official personages, and will be unpaid for this
particular service. They will meet at the official resi-
dence of the First Lord of the Treasury in Downing-
street.— Observer.
CHARITY SERMONS.—Yesterday, the Rev. Dr.
Croly, rector of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, preached a
sermon before the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor
(Sir James Duke), the Sheriffs, and the Common Coun-
cil of the ward of Farringdon Within, at the ancient
church of St. Bartholomew the Great, in West Smith-
field, on behalf of the Sunday and Infant Schools of
that parish. Yesterday morning the Lord Bishop of
St. Asaph preached at St. Matthew's Church, Brixton,
in aid of the Brixton National Schools. Liberal col-
lections were made on both occasions.

TUNIS.

Admiral Baudin arrived on the 4th inst. at Tunis,
and had an interview with the Bey. The Admiral
afterwards left Tunis for Naples.

TURKEY.

Intelligence has been received from Constantinople
of the sth.
On the 15th of October Redschid Pasha arrived at
El-mourn with the staff of the army of Anatolia. He
was to establish his head quarters in that city, round
which an army of 35,000 or 40,000 men was to be
concentrated. Those military preparations were
ascribed by some to the complications likely to arise
in Persia from the death of the Shah, and which
might impair the friendly relations existing between
that country and Turkey, whilst others believed that
the Ottoman Government, considerihg the political
situation of Europe, anticipated a collision with
Russia should a combined fleet enter the Black Sea,
and wished to be prepared for every contingency..
A difference has arisen in the Ottoman Cabinet
between the Grand Vizier, Reschid Pasha, and the
Minister of War, Riga Pasha, and the latter will pro-
bably be replaced by 'hull Pasha. Tranquillity pre-
vails in Wallachia.

THE NEW FEVER HOSPITAL.—The site of the
Fever Hospital, which formerly stood at King's-cross,
having been purchased by the London and York Direct,
for their metropolitan station, the trustees have trans-
ferred their hospital to the Liverpool-road, Islington,
where a new building has arisen with almost magical
rapidity. One result of the change of site, however, was
probably hardly anticipated, viz., the ruinous deprecia-
tion of property which has been caused in the immediate
vicinity. The terrace opposite to the new hospital pre-
sents a melancholy appearance, the words " to be let"
being visible in the window of every other house. House-
holders in the neighbourhood will be material sufferers
from their proximity to the. hospital. When the erection
of this pest-house was in contemplation, Mr. Wakley
drew the attention of Lord Morpeth to the probable
consequences of such an establishment in the locality
in question, and his Lordship was understood to promise
his interference to protect the neighbourhood from the
nuisance.
London, England, 1848-11-20

SICILY.

The Journal Savoisien of the 17th inst. quotes a
letter from Palermo, of the 4th inst., stating that the
Sicilian Parliament would probably repeal the two
decrees of the 15th of April and 10th of July last,
which established a constitutional monarchy in Sicily,
and proclaim the Republic, if the Duke of Genoa
should persist in refusing the throne of that island.

EXPORTS.

Teas—The market for Congous was exceedingly dull, nntil
the arrival of the steamer; since which time some reaction
has taken place, and 60 chops are reported as settled at
rather above the current rates of last-month. This may be
owing to the continued improvement in the English market,
combined with the number of vessels in this port now ;wait-
ing dispatch. The quantity of chops estimated as left is
about 100, two-thirds being Hohows and Moning kinds, the
balance Kai-saou and Sinchukyes descriptions. Quotations
are for blackish leaf, and Moning sorts at 15 to 20 taels; Ho-
llows, 15 to 18 ; Kai-saous and Sinchukyes, at 13 to 17. Of

brought to market, for which 13 taels is asked. In
Ning Yongs, te,c., the market keeps pretty firm, though in
some instances rather easier terms have been submitted to;
and as the season advances there seems but little doubt that
the teamen will accept loser prices. A full supply, it is
thought will come forward. The quantity sold this month
is 10,000 packages. Ankoies are qouted 12 to 13 taels. Ning
Yong and Kohue teas 161/2 to 23 taels; and for the good de-

SAXONY.

In the sitting of the Dresden Chambers some inter-
pellations were addressed to the Government on the
subject of the murder of Blum. M. Von der
Pfordten, the Minister, stated to the Chamber on that
occasion, that he had dispatched orders to the Saxon
envoy at Vienna to take under his protection all
Saxon subjects resident in that city; and that/active
measures had been taken by the envoy to prevent the
sacrifice of Blum, but that.:all his remonstrance and
inquiries had been treated with the mostcentemptu-
ous silence by the Austrian Government.

REVIEW OF THE WORE.

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mißd not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
spon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received f'rom Lisbon to the
Bth, by the Peninsular and Oriental ship Jupiter.
A /vliguelite conspiracy, intended to break out on
All Saints Day, had been discovered, and the leaders
arrested. Public tranquillity remained undisturbed.
It is understood that the Portuguese Financial
Agency in London will receive by this packet the
requisite authority for advertising the payment in
the middle of February next of the half-year's divi-
dend upon Portuguese bonds overdue since the end
of June, 1847; remittances have been, and are being
made, to enable the London agency to pay these
claims.

Up to the 3d of November 1,004 contos of Lis-
bon Banknotes had been withdrawn from circula-
tion ; the actual circulation amounted to 3,996
contos. The report of the Bank of Portugal of the
same date gives its notes in circulation as 228 con-
tos; metal deposits, 288 contos; and metal in cash,
629 contos.

The receipts of the Lisbon Custom-house for
the month or October showed an increase of 30
contos as compared with the corresponding month of
1847.

Exchange by the Jupiter for bills at three months
were effected as follows :—London, 52i, 53, and 53j-;
on Paris, 532 ; Amsterdam, 42f ; Hamburgh, 48-i;
Genoa, 532. The operations were very limited, the
Board of Public Credit having purchased lightly :
and bills on London remained over at 54. In stocks
there hid been few transactions; Five per Cents. were
quoted 46 to 48 ; Four per Cents., 37i to 39. Bank
of Portugal shares were in demand at 43 to 40 mil-
reis discount per share. The discount of Lisbon .
Bank- notes had been variable, and closed 40 per cent. •

FRANKFORT.

On the 16th instant the President of the German
Parliament officially communicated to the Chamber
the news of Robert Blum's execution, and then
" gave the word " to M. Kirschgessner, the reporter
of the Committee appointed to investigate the affair.
That gentleman immediately moved a resoluaion
imperatively calling upon the Imperial Ministry to
adopt energetic measures for the accusation and
punishment of those mediately and immediately
inculpated in the execution of M. Blum, and stig-
matizing that act as an atrocious violation of the
imperial law of the 30th of September, 1847. The
question was put forthwith, without discussion,
and the motion was carried nem. dis., and in solemn
silence.

On the 17th the Parliament determined on the
adoption of further resolutions hostile to the Austrian
Government. At the sitting of that day the address
from Leipsic was read by the President, and declared
to be in perfect harmony with the resolution in the
Assembly. A motion was then made by M. Giskra,.
pledging the Imperial Government of Germany to an
immediate interference for the protection promised by
the laws to the subjects of Austria, " consi-
dering that the Diet of that empire is not at
present assembled, that its resolutions have
not been adopted by the Austrian Ministry
since the 6th of October, and that it is not
probable, under such circumstantes, that the Austrian
Government will pursue a different course." This
proposal was declared " urgent," and almost imme-
diately carried by a majority 238 to 198 votes. A
motion was afterwards made for the removal of M.
Bessermann, in consequence of his adhesion to the
views of the King of Prussia, and although the pro-
posal to discuss it instanter was not adopted, the ma-
jority which decided in the negative was a very
doubtful one, and it was only postponed till the fol-
lowing day, when there appeared some probability
that it would be carried.

VLry large supplies of country-killed meat have come
to hand for these markets since Monday last, viz :-900
carcases of Beef, 2,400 ditto of Mutton, 700 ditto of
Veal, and 3,700 ditto of Pork. We have been seasona-
bly well supplied with each kind of meat slaughtered in
London, in addition to 1,000 carcases of foreign meat,
and 19 baskets from Hamburgh; but the general quality
of the supplies has proved inferior. Prime Beef and
Mutton are in steady request, at fully last week's quota-
tions. Otherwise the demand is heavy, and late rates
are with difficulty supported.

Dunkirk; 114 bags, and 262 tons from Antwerp; 121
tons from Humburgh, 155 sacks from Havre, and 167
tons from Louvain. The best samples are in steady re-
quest, at mostly lull prices; but all other kinds may be

BOROUGH HOP IVIAREET.
With the finest parcels of new Hops, our market is by
no means heavily supplied; such command a steady,
though by no means brisk, inquiry, at fully last week's
prices. The middling and inferior kinds are slow in
sale, at late rates. Yearling and old Hops are offering
at reduced currencies. New Hops:—Sussex pockets,
24s to 30s ; Weald of Kent ditto, 28s to 70s; Mid

officers of state, and several sinecures are to be sup-
pressed entirely: The King has yielded a cordial as-
sent to the report.
The funds rose considerably on the publication of

PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the
Bth, by the Peninsular and Oriental ship Jupiter.
A Miguelite conspiracy, intended to break out On
All Saints Day, had been discovered, and the leaders
arrested. Public tranquillity remained undisturbed.
It is understood that the Portuguese Financial
Agency in London will receive by this packet the
requisite authority for advertising the payment jn
the middle of February next of the half-year's divi-
dend upon Portuguese bonds overdue since the end
of June, 1847; remittances have been, and are being
male, to enable the London agency to pay these
claims.

Up to the 3d of November 1,004 contos of Lis-
bon Banknotes had been withdrawn from circula-
tion ; the actual circulation amounted to 3,996
contos. The report of the Bank of Portugal of the
same date gives its notes in circulation as 228 con-
tos; metal deposits, 288 contos; and metal in cash,
629 contos.

The receipts of the Lisbon Custom-house for
the month of October showed au increase of 30
contos as compared with the corresponding month of
1847.

Exchange by the Jupiter for bills at three months
were effected as follows :—London, 521, 53, and 53-1 ;
on Paris, 532 ; Amsterdam, 421 ; .Hamburgh, 488;
Genoa, 532. The operations were very limited, the
Board of Public Credit having purchased lightly :
and bills on London remained over at 53k. In stocks
there had been few transactions; Five per Cents. were
quoted 461 to 48; Four per Cents., 371 to 39. Bank
of Portugal shares were in demand at 43 to 40 mil-
reis discount per share. The discount of Lisbon
Bank-notes had been variable, and closed 40 per cent.

REVIEW OF THE WORK.

La'Afert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

ARMED POLICE.

Lord DUDLEY STUART wished to know whe-
her it was true that certain portions of the po-
lice had been armed with swords, having saws
at the back, and if they had, whether it was done by the
sanction and recommendation of the Right lion. Baronet
the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and
whether it was his intention that they should be habitually
so armed?
Sir G. GREY could assure the Noble Lord that it
was not his wish or intention that the police should be
habitually armed with swords. It had, however, been
the practice when disturbances were apprehended, to arm
the police, and certain portions of the police in London,
Manchester, and Liverpool bad, with bis sanction, been
armed with swords, considering it necessary, in conse-
quence of the threatened disturbances in the country.
The swords had been formerly used iu bivouacking, and
for that purpose a portion of the backs of them were ser-
rated, or indented like a s iw. They should be returned
to the Tower as soon as the occasion which had called
for them should have passed away.
DENMARK.
Mr. CHRISTY Inquired of the Noble Lord the Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs whether there was any imme-
diate prospect of a friendly settlement of the differences
that had so long prevailed between Germany and Den-
mark, to the great inconvenience of the trade with those
countries?
Lord PALMERSTON said he believed that the com-
mercial inconvenience arising from that state of things
had been much greater on the continent than it had been
in this country, It was ground for great disappointment
that the proposed armistice had not been concluded, but

AUSTRIA.

In the sitting of the National Assembly, on the
29th July, Baron DOBLHOPP made a statement of all
the endeavours of the Ministry to obtain the EM-
PEROR.S return. To the dispatches sent to In-
spruck, worded in the most pressing terms, a reply
had been received, not countersigned by any Mi-
nister, and consequently devoid of official character,
but emanating from the EMPEROR in person, and
which his MAJESTY desires will be communicated to
the Administrator of the Empire. In this letter
the EMPEROR declares his intention of postponing
his return until the Diet shall have concluded its
labours, and the legal authorities can act freely ; in
the meantime he is willing to send his brother, the
Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES, to Vienna with the
most extensive powers.
This message was received by the Assembly with
the silence of disapprobation. The Minister, in con-
tinuation, said that he could only hold office on con-
dition of being in immediate communication with the
chief of the empire, and supported by the confidence
of the. Assembly. He proposed that the Assembly
should send a deputation to the EMPEROR, chosen
from among its members, bearing an address re-
presenting his MAIESTT'S return to Vienna as indis-
pensable.

The President desired the Deputies who shared the
opinion of the Government to rise. A great number
rose, and the Minister thanked the Assembly for the
confidence thus shown in the Cabinet. A debate
then took place, on the wording of the address, all the
speakers, with the exception of STADION and PIL-
LERSDORFF, were in favour of the document being
couched in energetic language. A motion was car-
ried by which the sections were to elect a Committee
charged with the task of preparing the draft of the
address, and bringing it before the Assembly at six
o'clock. The Diet adjourned at that hour.
The Bann of Croatia, JELLACIIICII, is very popular
in Vienna. Deputations wait on him every day, and
at night he is serenaded.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSDIOUTH, FRIDAY .—ltear-Admiral Barrington
Reynolds, C.D., is appointed to succeed Vice-Admiral
Dacres in the chief command on the Cape of Good Hope
station, to hoist his flag in the Southampton, 50, at Chat-
ham. Captain Nicholas Cory is appointed Flag Captain
to Admiral Reynolds, and we believe Commander Stewart
will be the Commander.

FRANKFORT.

The German Parliament was engaged on the Ist
of August in the discussion of the second article of
the fundamental rights. The section which declares
" privileges of rank do not exist" was under discus-
sion that day, and the discussion was likely to
continue.

ARNDT and Prince LICUNOWSICT were the prin-
cipal defenders of the nobility ; the former on the
score of inveterately cherished prejudice, the latter on
that of the grand associations which attached to names
of rank.

Professor Auazirs, in a long speach, endeavoured
to develop the necessary principle of equality, and
argued fur the unqualified retention of sect. 6.
Tiros and others censured the indefiniteness of
the clause. It was not enough to say, " privileges
of rank do not exist," but it must be, " difterences of
rank do not exist." They must strike at the root of
the evil which had been so constantly a source of
variance between the people and the nobility, if they
wished to strike at all. He then alluded to the
virtual decay of the nobility, both as to possession of
the soil, and patriarchal authority over the peasantry.
He questioned also whether the easy access to the
reigning Prince which the nobility enjoyed was pro-
ductive of good to the people, or whether it was not
used as the means of organizing cabals by which the
heart of the Prince was constantly weaned from the
people. He was not bitter against the nobility, but
he was against half-measures.

It is difficult to judge what the event of the debate
will be.

PRUSSIA.

Accounts have been received from Berlin to the Ist
of August. For some evenings previously meetings
had been held on the Linden, at which seditious and
inflammatory language was used, to the great alarm
and annoyance of the inhabitants of that quarter. On
the evening of the 31st ult. the constabulary force
interfered and dispersed the meetings, making several
arrests. At nine in the evening of the Ist inst. dense
crowds assembled at the Linden. The constabulary
and troops were collecting in large numbers, and a
collision was expected.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, JULY 30.—General HEDEMAN,
Commander•in• Chief of the Forces, arrived here on
the 27th, to take the Presidency of the Council of
Conference appointed by the Minister of War.
The Berlingsche Zeitung is of opinion that from
what has transpired respecting the equipments of the
Hamburgh marine, there is sufficient grounds for a
protracted and complete blockade of the Elbe.
Eight other German ships, for the most part with
cargoes, have been condemned within the last few
days, among them is he Hamburgh ship Hermann,
Captain FURGON 'WITT.

Various preparations had been made in consequence
of the advance of the cholera. The quarantine of
ships from the Russian and Finland harbours has
been extended from five to twenty days, and the
Russian fleet has been prohibited from all inland
trade, or from having any communication whatever
with the Danish coast.

he trusted that although minor matters might not be
agreed upon in detail, the great object in view might ne-
vertheless be practically obtained.
DISEASED SHEEP.
_

Mr. F. O'CONNOR inuuired of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman the President of the Board of Trade whether a
rumour had reached him to the effect that 1,500 diseased
sheep had been brought to Smithfield-market?
Ur. LABOUCIIERE said that, though he had reason
to believe that diseased sheep were sometimes brought
to Smithfield for sale, the rumour in question had not
reached him. When sheep of that description were
brought to the market, it became the duty of the au-
thorities of the market to take care to prevent them
from being brought into consumption, in a manner cal.
culated to injure the public.
SUPPLY.

Colonel SIBTIIORP wished to know from the Noble
Lord at the head of the Government when he proposed
to go into Committee of Supply.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he proposed to take the
Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill first, and then he
should move that the House go into Committee of Supply.
