NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 15.—The annual meeting of the
Seamen and Marines Orphan School was held at the
rooms of this institution at this port on Thursday, at
which the report read most encouraging and grati-
fying to the supporter. ,„ national and philanthropic
a charity. Admiral the licn. Sir Bladen Capel, K.C.8.,
Commander-in-Chief of this port, took the chair, and
consented (on the motion of Vice-Admiral Sir John
Ommanney, K.C.8., seconded by Dr. Ralph) to be presi-
dent of the institution. The Hon. Lady Capel, in a
spirit of true benevolence, consented to be president of
the Ladies Committee. Under such favourable auspices
this worthy asylum must thrive to the extent of its de-
serts. An unanimous 'vote of thanks was accorded to
the late president and present warm advocate to the
charity, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., through
whose unsparing exertions its fuds were greatly
in-
creased, and its usefulness considerably extended. Sir
Bladen and Lady Capel gave handsome donations to-
wards the funds of the charity.
This afternoon, whilst playing with some other chil-
dren on a boat at high tide, the son of Mr. White, of
Bath-square, fell overboard, and was immersed for se-
veral minutes. When got out he was senseless and ex-
hausted and apparently dead. The services of Mr.
Ralph, surgeon (who exerted himself so promptly and
successfully in the case of the people drowned by the
boat accident now under investigation), were called in
requisition, and after the customary
remedies, the youth
was happily restored to his a fflicted parents.
The Driver steam-sloop, 6 guns, Commander C. R.
Johnson, returned yesterday from Jersey and Guernsey,
with Major Ennis's company of the Royal Artillery,
and six officers and eighty-two men of the 16th and 54th
Regiments, from the depots for foreign service. The
Artillery Company proceeded by the South Coast
Rail-
way for Woolwich. The Driver is ordered on foreign
service.

The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Gmamander H. Duma-
resque, went out yesterday to try her engines and sails,
she having undergone considerable alterations as well as
repairs ; amongst other things, a wizen or jigger-mast,
stepped close aft, with a lug sail and boomkin outrigger.
It appeared to answer very satisfactorily. She is to sail to-
morrow, it is understood, to resume her station at Jersey
to protect the fishery.
The Hermes temporary steam-tug, Mr. Martin acting-
master, arrived this morning from Plymouth, bringing
a number of marines and seamen, lately belonging to the
Daedalus, Captain M'Quhae, paid off at that port last
week, and forty-ono seamen to join the Kingfisher, 12,
Commander H. Harvey, fitting at this place. Commander
Harvey has a full eomplement of prime seamen in his
brig, although ho has not entered a man here, except
his steward. All his men were draughted before the
pendant was hoisted, and ho has consequently been com-
pelled to refuse a great number of good men who have
offered themselves.
Considerable discontent has been excited to-day on
board the Grampus by the refusal of Captain Martin to
suffer the wives and other relatives of his crew to bring
them dinners dressed on shore. The interdict is said to
have been laid on in consequence of some abuse which
took place yesterday of the indulgence hitherto afforded,
by means of which spirituous liquors were introduced,
and several of the men became intoxicated. It is be-
lieved by those best informed that this liquor was not
brought by the women, there being many other means
by which the men may have obtained intoxicating
drinks. At all events, it is a pity to punish all for the
misdeeds of a few, and one case was an exceedingly
hard one, being that of a poor woman who had travelled
ten miles to see her husband, and was compelled to re-
turn again without that gratification.

CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 14.—Tnn PUBLIC ORATOR-
surr.—At a congregation holden this day the nomi-
nation of two candidates for the public oratorship was
fixed to take place on Wednesday, the 25th instant.
The election of one of the two gentlemen then no-
minated will be proceeded with on the following day,
Thursday, the 26th instant.

CELIBACY.—Singleness is not always the con-
sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi-
culty in meeting with a fit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried
would with joy embrace the sacred emditions of Matrimony, did
they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered
page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that
alighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec-
tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to
that life of immitigable anguish and fettered solitariness into which
Ws affianced would be plurged if he married. Some are, however,
wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these
circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the
altar, will malts such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his
selfish desire of exclusively enjoying her society, by precluding her
from accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this
history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common
toresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren-
der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The
disqualifications for Marriage have more than ono primary source ;
the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely,
natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Veldts ; the
Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera-
ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired
disease ; and. lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects
of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all Im-
pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily
too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, aed
he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. Such will find
all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous
Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of
which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO.,
(7ensulting hiergeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled

As a per contra to the above, one vessel only has been
commissioned, the Kingfisher, 12-gun sloop, but whose
complement will not be any relief to the above number
of discharged sailors, as it is made up of the " disposable
men " from the Plymouth and Portsmouth flag-ships.
Thus the naval force in a low days is reduced six sails,
126 guns, and 1,355 officers and men.

The Prince Regent, 90 guns, is on the order for for-

next ship detached from the command of Sir Charles
Napier. The Powerful, 84 guns, which has been lying
at the same anchorage some months as guard ship, is to
fill her complement up to the regulated service staff, and
will also go the Mediterranean to relieve one of the two-
deckers on that station. The Reynard 10-gun propeller
schooner, will go into Portsmouth harbour to-morrow to
refit for foreign service. The Stromboli, 6-gun steam-
sloop, is refitting for foreign service, (the Tagus); and
the Driver, 6-gun steam-sloop, is also ordered to prepare
for foreign service. The Rifleman, 8-gun schooner, is
ordered to change her armament of four 10-inch guns
for two 32-pounders of 56 cwt. each, on pivots, and six
broadside 32-pounders of 25 cwt, each, and have a com-
peting trial of steaming with her sister vessel (but built
of iron), the Sharpshooter, at the back of the Isle of
Wight. The Blenheim steam guard-ship has returned
to her former state as the depot ship for the advanced
steam squadron at Portsmouth. The Dragon steam-
frigate remains on the Irish station for the present. Thus

As we stated on Saturday, one of the conditions
on which M. DurAuRE consented to take office was
that the state of siege of Paris should be raised. A
Special Committee of fifteen has been appointed by
the National Assembly to communicate with the
Executive on the subject of raising the state of siege;
it is composed of Messrs. BEDEAU, LANDRIN, ISAM-
BERT, CIIANGARNIER, BAUCRART, PLEIGNARD, AY-
LIES, LIONVILLE, FLANDIN, PORION, GLAIS BIZOIN,
MOREAU, DUCLERU, and LABOULIE. The majority
of the Committee was considered favourable to the
maintenance of the state of siege. This change in the
Ministry, which meets with the approval of the Mo-
derate Republicans, is a source of infinite annoyance
to the Red Republicans and Communists.
The Bien Public, the organ of M. DE LAMARTINE,
says—

" Three men, eminent in different degrees, have
just given the co-operation of their talent to the task
of democracy. The first, M. Dufaure, is a Minister,
puritan and laborious, whose intelligence always
honest, and probity always inflexible, go to seek na-
turally and without deviation the true and the
honest in all discussions. His speeches always logical,
his elocution always easy, enter like light in people's
consciences. He has, more than any one, the talent
of disengaging your own ideas from the cloud in which
they float, and of expressing for you without fatigue
your own conviction. Removed, by temperament,
from all temerity in philosophy, from all exaggera-
tion in politics, he has powerfully contributed to cause
the practical and sensible articles of the Constitution
to be voted. Without him the debate would often
have fallen into chaos. The second, M. Vivien, is one
of those men who made their education in the old par-
liaments. He was Prefect of Police, Minister, Coun-
cillor of State, and in all those important posts he has
left a reputation of talent, honesty, and of a good deal
of firrnnes3 allied to much kindness. Eighteen years
of administrative and political labours have given him
a long experience of men and affairs. This experience
has alreauv profited to the Republic in the debates of
the Constitution ; for M. Vivien has been, with M.
Dufaure, the orator who has most contributed to save
the best clauses from the flood of amendments. M.
Freslon, formerly an advocate, and at present Procu-
reur General of the Court of Angers, is one of those
intrepid soldiers of the idea, who under the old go-
vernment carried the flag of the Republic with the
greatest energy. But from the first day of the revo-
tion of February, M. Freslon did not see in the
Republic the conquest of a nation by a coterie. He
saw, on the contrary, as we did, a sublime exclamation
of the country, an improved form of government
which dissolved parties. Accordingly all his votes
and all his speeches in the Assembly bear the stamp
of the spirit of justice."

It would appear from the following extract from
the Constitutionnel that the new Cabinet will not,
for the present at least, have to encounter the oppo-
sition of M. TiitEns. The Constitutiannel says—
" The accession of three very honourable men of
acknowledged talent, whose advice the National As-
sembly likes to follow, will necessarily be approved of
by the country. Two of them besides have already
been ministers, and that is an advantage which they
have over their predecessors. Their presence alone
in the government is certainly a pledge given to
order, family tics, property, and the honest and
moderate Republic. They can do much to strengthen
in France respect for the law, social principles, the
eternal rules of morality, to revive labour and pros-
perity. M. Dufaurc takes an administration which
still bears the imprint left by M. Ledru Rollin under
the Provisional Government. M. Freslon will find
primary instruction delivered up on many points to
socialist and materialist doctrines. But it is not red
and social republics which suit the nation. There
are, therefore, plenty of reforms to be made, if the
desire is to place the central government in accord
with the population,—the new institutions with the
sentiment of the country. France will await these
reforms from the resolution and prudent firmness of
the re-constituted Cabinet."

physician of the hospital, two or three special courts of
governors were called to take the matter into considera-
tion, and, after a good dual of very stormy discussion,
the matter was at length brought to a conclusion by the
resignation of Dr. Freund. The meeting of Saturday
was therefore called to fill up tho vacancy, Sydney
Williams, Esq., having been called to the chair, briefly
addressed the meeting, after which the secretary pro-
ceeded to read the minutes of the last court, and, after
short discussion, they were confirmed. The chairman
said they had now to proceed to the election of a phy-
sician and surgeon to the hospital. A ballot then took
place, and at two o'clock the secretary announced that
Dr. Swaine and Dr. Straube had been unanimously
elected, the former as physician, and the latter as sur.
goon to the hospital. These gentlemen having severally
expressed their acknowledgments for the honour con-
ferred on them, thanks wore given to the chairman, and
the proceedings terminated.
BARBAROUS MURDER.—A most cruel and wanton
murder was committed on the townland of Drumhilla,
between Cootehill and Ballybay, on the night of the Bth
or morning of the 9th instant. The name of the unfor-
tunate victim was James Conolly. His body was found
with the skull smashed into pieces, and it was evident
that more than one person must have been concerned in
the murder. An inquest was held on the body shortly
after the discovery, and the jury found a verdict of
" Murder against some person or persons unknown;"
adding that strong suspicion existed against the son of
the deceased, Philip Con3lly.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town on
Saturday, for Hickleton Hall, Doncaster.

On the other hand the Socialist and Red Repub-
lican papers are, with the exception of the Democratic
Pacifique, outrageous. The Democratic, the organ
of the Fourierists, does justice to the motives of the
new Ministers, whilst it laments their appointment.
It says :
" We believe that the three new Ministers have
sincerely joined the Republic, but their entry on
affairs takes place under evil auspices, being due only
to the intrigues of the Rue de Poitiers, which pushes
them forward in order to cause them to fall in their
turn, and to replace them soon by decided reactionists.
They will find themselves in a very awkward posi-
tion for men of honour, that of having been chosen
by the enemies of the Republic, and to be obliged to
depend on them, and at the same time to have to
struggle against sincere Republicans, who having sus-
tained with a devotedness, sometimes blind, the pre-
ceding Ministry, cannot support with energy a
Ministry which is nothing but a breastplate invented
by the eleven persons on the Right."

The Courrier Frangaia is somewhat more violent,
and declares that " M. CAVAIGNAC has compromised
himself! It is Messrs. DUFAURE, VIVIEN, and
FRESLON who are obliged to impose upon M. CA-
VAIGNAC the rising of the state of siege as a condi-
tion ! We willingly grant that since the Ministry of
May 12th, 1840, M. DUFAURE has made some pro-
gress in his opinions. But, in fine, neither M. Du-
risuttE nor Messrs. VIVIEN or FEESLON has given any
solid pledges to liberty. 'With such Ministers there
can hardly be formed any but a Cabinet of reaction.
It is precisely such a Ministry, more than any other,
that will have need of compression, and it is the ex-
monarchical Minister, M. DUFAURE, who is obliged
to demand from M. CAVAIGNAC, the old Republican
the raising of this state of siege ! On such an ex.,
change of characters we must renounce all idea of
comprehending anything. The name of M. Du-
FAuas, is a guarantee of order, but who will be
the guarantee of liberty ? It is no longer M.
CAVAIGNAC !"

The Reforme Declares war a l'outrance, not only
against the new Ministers, but against General
CAVAIGNAC hinnelf.

" We feel (says this organ of the Red Republic)
completely biases on the score of these wretched epos-
tacies that now, after eight months, come to profit by
the blood arid the combats of the people. We find it
impossible to choke our moral sense ; we suffer for
the honour of our country before the scandal of these
metamorphoses. There is a grave question at the
bottom of this affair. In rejecting pale and colour-
less Republicans for the old servants of Louis Phi-
lippe, General Cavaignac, whom we have so long de-
fended against calumnies and animosities, now im-
poses upon us new duties ; it is no longer a question
concerning the Republic, democratic and social—it is
the Republic itself. that is in question when the men
of the monarchy are installed in the Government—it
is a decisive revolution that dispels our last hope.
Let the stets of siege be removed or maintained, the
moment for serious discussion is arrived—a direct
blow has been dealt at our revolution by the delivery
of it into the hands of its enemies."

The Republique goes quite as far as the Wynne in

[PRICE SD.

its denunciations of General CAVAIGNAC. The
Republique %ays—
" Where does General Cavaignac go and seek
succour for his outflanked Cabinet? Is it in that
part of the Assembly, of which the opinions, alike
progressive and practical, by inspiring confidence in
the country, could have drawn round the Govern-
ment an imposing majority ? No, but in the con-
venticle of the Rue de Poitiers, that olla podrida of
Legitimatist Orleanists, and Federalists, who pray
so heartily for the fall of the Republic; he goes and
chooses out M. Freslon, Procureur-General at
Angers, the advocate oc the penalty of death, and the
zealous defender of the members of the parquet,
who prosecute with an equal quietude of conscience
attacks made against the Monarchy and the Republic ;
he goes and chooses M. Vivien, the insignificant
Minister of Justice of the weak Administration of the
Ist of March, who since his fall has known how to
unite the popularity of a languid opposition with the
profits of public functions; and lastly, M. Dufaure,
a fallen celebrity, the unfortunate patron of the
dotation of princes, a Ministerial aspirant, always
ready for office; vho withdrew with a religious
horror from the Reform banquet of Nantes, because
the directors of it thought that the dinner could very
well pass over without a toast being drank to the
King. Such are the Republicans who obtain the
sympathies of General Cavaignac! Nothing more
remains for us to do than to cry out Vive le Roi
and send a char-a-bane to the exile at Claremont."
Even the National expresses its dislike to the new
appointments. It says—
" In our opinion it is a grave fault to confide the
political Ministry—the essential Ministry—to a man
whose character and talent are certainly not called
in question, but whose antecedents expose him to
suspicion by all who profess Republican opinions.
Messrs. Dufaure and Vivien excite disquietude and
repugnance. We do not, indeed, fear for the Re-
public ; but it is evident that eight months after the
Republic has been formed, it is natural that people
should behold with astonishment the ancient adver-
sary of the Reform banquets become the chief and
political director of the Interior of Republican
France. General Cavaignac, we say it sincerely,
has done wrong to confide the Home-office to M.
Dufaure, and this fault, commanded it may be by
political necessities, is of a nature to weigh in an un-
happy fashion upon the new Cabinet."
But it is not alone among the political writers that the
Ministerial modifications have excited hostility. M.
Ducous, the Prefect of Police, has resigned his
office, assigning as a reason for so doing the dangers
which menaced liberty in France in consequence of
the appointment of a reactionary Ministry, an ap-
pointment which he considers; itantamount to a
counter-revolution. General CAVAIGNAC has ac-
cepted his resignation, and appointed M. GERVAIS
(de Caen) in his room.
In the sitting of the National Assembly on
turday M. DE PORTALIS addressed the Assembly on
the change of Ministers, and asked for a programme
of the policy of the new Cabinet. He was replied to
by General CAVAIGNAC, who said that on Monday he
should submit to the Assembly the question of the
change of Ministry, ask them for a vote of confidence,
and if it were refused he should at once retire.

The following articles of the Constitution regulat-
ing the functions of the Council of State have been
adopted by the Assembly :
" Chap. Vl.—Council of State.—Art. 68.—There
shall be a Council of State, composed of forty coun-
cillors of State at least. The Vice-President of the
Republic is, ex offi:io, President of the Council of
State.

" Art. 69. The members of this Council are ap-
pointed for six years by the National Assembly.
Half of the members are renewed in the first two
months of each legislature, by secret ballot and by
an absolute majority. They are indefinitely re-
eligible.
" Art. 70. Such of the members of the Council of
State as may be chosen from the National Assembly
shall be immediately replaced as representatives of
the people.
" Art. 71. The members of the Council of State
can only be dismissed by the National Assembly,
and on the proposition of the President of the
Republic.
"Art. 72. The Council of State is consulted upon
the project of laws of the Government, which, ac-
cording to law, must be submitted to its preliminary
examination ; and upon the projects of parliamentary
initiation that the Assembly should send before it.
"It (the Council of State) prepares the rule con-
cerning public administration. It can make of itself
such rules as it is warranted to prepare by special
delegation of the National Assembly.
"It exercises, with regard to public administration,
all the powers of control and surveillance which are
deferred to it by the law.
" Particular laws will regulate its other attribu-
tions."

We find the following in the National, on the sub-
ject of the recent insurrection at Vienna, and the
effect which it may probably produce un the affairs of
Europe. As the National is the organ of M. BASTME,
the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the article is im-
portant as indicating the views of the French Go-
vernment :

" Let us endeavour to surmise what will be the
probable consequences of the new situation which
events have just produced for Austria. The report
is current that the Diet s hick, as is knwn, has de-
clared itself in permanence, has rendered itself master
of the revolution. According to letters from Vienna,
it passed on the 8:11 the following resolutions 1.
The Diet declares that it will not dissolve itself, and
that it will remain faithful to its duty. 2. The Diet
will maintain itself within constitutional bounds, and
will only employ legal measures to save the country,
the liberty of the people, and the hereditary throne.
If the Diet was to predominate in the situation, it
appears to us evident that the revolution of October
6 would prove a failure. What occurred on May,
25 would again come to pass. The Emperor, with-
drawn to some distant town, would there wait the
turn of events, would cause himself to be desired and
I recalled, and would then re-appear in his capital, to
again deliver himself to reaction and provoke a new
insurrection. If the Diet is overpowered by the
people, or if, of itself, it replies, as its dignity
would command, to the manifesto which the Em-
peror isssued just as he fled—if it replies to menace
by menace, then the revolution at Vienna will con-
tinue. In that case, two courses are open to the
Court of Austria. It could withdraw to:lnspruck in
the midst of its ever faithful Tyrolese, and depend for
protection on the army of Radetzky. Amongst the
men who urge on the unfortunate Emperor to his
ruin, are some who care but little about Italy, on
condition that the remainder of the monarchy should
be re-united to the imperial throne by indissoluble
ties. Their policy is perhaps on the point of triumph-
ing. If, on the contrary, the Court, yieltnng to a
resolution which appears to us to be above its courage
and its strength, should decide on combating all its
enemies at the same time, it will leave Radetzky at
Milan, in order to withdraw to Prague. There it
will find elements of resistance against the revolution
of Vienna. We must here express frankly a fact
which we have sometimes indicated, that since the
insurrectional movements have burst out in Austria,
the Sclavonians are in the empire only a reactionary
element. That is the part which the Croations of
Jellachich play in Hungary; that is the part
which the Teheches play at the Constituent
Assembly of Vienna. And let it not be said that
the Sclavonians are urged only by antipathy of
race against those who, in face of them, represent
new principles. National animosities disappear before
ideas of liberty, when such ideas are in the heart ;
and what proves it is, that the Germans and the
Hungarians, whom old animosities, Heaven knows,
have so long divided, gave each other the hand when
democracy had need of their alliance. The bombard•
ment of Prague, which has been so much spoken of,
represents simply a struggle of races ; it is so, and
not other wise that it is comprehended in Bohemia.
But it is possible to obey perfectly the idea of race,
and at the same time overlook liberal tendencies.
Soon, perhaps, events will lead us to examine an
hypothesis which is often put forward in order to
explain the conservative tendencies of the Sclavonians.
We shall examine if Austria can reconstitute herself
on new bases by making an appeal to the Sclavonian
forces which she contains. But however that may be,
up to this time evident facts must be admitted, and it
must be allowed that Jellachich, in invading Hun.
gary, had nothing else in view than to serve the
cause of Austria, such as it was conceived at Vienna.
The dynasty of 11anshurg, which is resolutely Germa-
nic, would not certainly have risked its last stake to
support a Selavonian movement; still less with the
prudence and deep cunning which it is known be-
longs to it, would it have allowed itself to be de-
ceived by its Lieutenant. Facts will at last speak
for theinselv,'., arid we shall no doubt soon learn
that the Croatian patriots who have so energetically
protested against the Ban have at last shaken off the
authority of Jellachich and of the Austrian party.
A great subject of conversation at Vienna was the

•
promises give y Russia to Auhria, in se the
Emperor Ferdinand should have need of aid. We
know that the Czar is not fond of revo , ut it
must be rdmitted that it is not always possible for
him to follow his instincts. Russia would have to
combat at the same time the revolution of Vienna,
that of Hungary, that of Molda-Wallachia, and that,
in fine, which the departure of the Russia troops
would provoke in Poland. Besides, the state of the
roads does not permit troops to move after the month
of November, and between this time and spring the
fate of deniocracy will be decided on the banks of
the Danube. As to Hungary, we do not see
that it can follow any other policy than to pro-
claim her independence. The democrats of Vi-
enna, who so generously decreed the ruin of the
old empire of Austria, in order to join the great
German party, will see with sympathy a republic
rising at their door always ready to support them.
It is no longer the monarchical tie which ought to
join together the nations which have hitherto com-
posed the empire of Austria : restored to their own
existence, they must unite together by a sincere alli-
ance which can secure them against the interior and
exterior enemies of their liberty. The Austrian
monarchy has been more than once on the point of
falling to pices, but it always survived the blows which
its enemies gave it. Let some men decide so, and
to-morrow we shall behold liberty pronounce the
avenging words, which will cause the dead in Italy,
Hungary, and Poland to start in their graves,
There is no longer an empire of Austria!' "
The Patric of last night states that it was ru-
moured that M. JULES FAVRE (the writer of the
LEDRU ROLLIN circulars) expired on Saturday.
The Minister of Finance has published a compare..
tive table of revenue receipts for nine months of 1848,
as compared with similar periods of 1846 and 1847.
The diminution is, as compared with the latter year,
102,862,0001., with the former year it is greater
by 2i millions. Taking the three last months sepa-
rately, as compared with the three months of 1847,
the diminution is, for July, 12,976,000 f.; for August,
13,807,0001.; and for September, 13,761,000 f. There
remains due to the Treasury, on several of the direct
imposts, not yet received, 246,473,000 f.
