The Cologne Gazette of the 9th announces the
arrest at Delitseh of Dr. FIEBIGER, on a charge of
attempting to excite an insurrection against the Prus•
sian Government. He only recfntly quitted the for-
tress of Magdeburg, after an imprisonment of 18
months, in which he had been condemned for se-
dition.

A letter from Radstadt of the sth says :—" The
news of the events at Paris produced a very great
sensation here. The telegraph was at work during
the whole day. At five in the evening the gates of
the fortress were closed, and patrols of cavalry were
on duty on the outside."
The Vienna journals of the 7th contain long arti-
cles on the recent events in France. They are gene-
rally favourable to Louis NAPOLEON. The Austrian
Lloyds, which is one of the most influential organs of
the mercantile party, says it is sure that the acts of
Louis NAPOLEON will be ratified by at least two-
thirds of the French nation.
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Carlsruhe,
6th, states that the Ministry bad intended to convoke
the States for the 9th, but that the news of

39, ALBEMAV.LE-STREET, PICCADILLY.—The Organic Vibrator, an ex-
traordinary powerful small newly-inventGd instrument, for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that
has been, or probably ever can be produced ; it is modelled to the
ear, so that it rests within without projecting ; which can be
inserted in the ears and removed in company unobserved, and being
of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. The powers of
this valuable new invention arc so great as to bring very defective
hearing, of long standing, to its perfect and natural state, and to
enable deaf persons to enjoy general conversation, to hear distinctly
at church, on the bench, at the bar, and at public assemblies ; the
unpleasant sensation of singing noises in 'Um ears are entirely re-
moved, and it affords to individuals affected with this dreadful ma •
lady all the assistance that possibly could be desired. Also improved
nearing Trumpets of every description. The newly-invented Spec-
tacles, immediately they are placed before extremely imperfect vision,
that mist and dulness which appear before the eyes is at once re-
moved, every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most
aged defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its
youthful, natural, and original state. Also powerful Telescopes,

to be-gained. The French funds have risen, the
Prussian funds very slightly declined ; for to-day
and to-morrow tins is a superfluous consolation.
The thing is done—it could not ba otherwise,'
say the politicians of the Exchange. No, the thing
is not done and ended. Such a flood of events
will not be lost in the sand, unless it is the sand of a
battle field ! The ' intelligence of the bayonets'—a
puppet which has been played with from the tribune—
has been embodied, is present, has been employed, and
its all crushing activity has been recognized. It is a
gloomy prelude, even though a momentary advantage
should spring from it. If the French army withstands
this temptation, the most fatal of all, it will be truly
worthy of all admiration. We admit that our heart
beats when we refisct on all the possible consequences.
A Legitimacy defended by an army is wonderfully
strong; a Legitimacy created by the army has no
future.

MARYLEBONE THEATRE.

The performances here on Tuesday evening were for
the benefit of that talented actress Miss Eliza Le Brun.
The fair hengficiaire appeared as Pauline Deschappel-
les in the Lady of Lyons, and seldom has the character
of Pauline been more exquisitely or pathetically de-
lineated. The performances concluded with the Greth

ALBANIA.

The Osservat•re Dalmato quotes a letter from
Zara, stating that, on the 29th ult., the Albanian
chief DODA, brother to BIBDODA, the present supreme
chief of the Catholics inhabiting the Miriditi Moun-
tains, the most important district of Albania, was
killed in a scuffle between two of his servants, while
attempting to separate them. The country was in
great agitation in consequence of this event, which,
though apparently accidental, was attributed by the
inhabitants of the district to the political rancour of
the enemies of their local privileges.
The frequent shocks of earthquake experienced at
Beratti, and which we mentioned sometime ago, have
caused great consternation among the inhabitants of
that town and district. Many houses have already
fallen to ruins, and more than a hundred persons had
lost their lives. The barracks are a heap of rubbish,
and the troops have retired to Elbesan, to which place
tents have been dispatched from Scutari for their
comfort. According to the last advices the shocks
still continue.

THE EINGLISH PRESS AND THE FRENCH

POST-OFFICE.

The great number of English families resident in
France, and the vast sums of money put into circulation
by them in various departments of French territory,
forbid the supposition that the French authorities can
imagine they have any interest to serve in driving Eng-
lish visitors from France, or in rendering that country
a less agreeable place of residence than it has heretofore
been. If the exclusion of certain English newspapers
could be shown to be necessary for the preservation of
public tranquillity, allowance might be made for such
an interference with the rights of Englishmen at home
and abroad. But the fact is, that the vast majority of
the subscribers to the English newspapers in France are
Englishmen, who, from the British Ambassador down-
wards, have maintained throughout the late unhappy
events the most religious neutrality, and whose exem-
plary abstinence from any participation in the internal
affairs of France has deserved a more generous
acknowledgment from the authorities of that
country. With regard to the small proportion
of English newspapers which find their way
into French families, we thought it was universally
conceded that the class of persons whose tastes and
whose leisure lead them to cultivate a knowledge of the
politics and literature of a foreign country are not those
who make barricades and descend with their muskets
into the streets. The matter becomes worse when we
remember how heartily Louis Napoleon admired in his
better days the wholesome, manly, and practical tenden-
cies of the English press, and its unswerving support of
law and order at home. The latest instance of an
English newspaper stopped in the French Post-office is
that of our excellent contemporary the Illustrated London
News, whose spirited pencil sketches can hardly have
given umbrage to the President, but whose views of the
breach of tise 68th article of the Constitution possibly
approximate much more nearly to those of the High
Court of Justice than to the fashionable belief at the
Elys6a. Our contemporary will, no doubt, feel compli-
mented by the exclusion, but his English readers in
France will have some cause to complain of this latest
piece of interference on the part of the French officials
with the liberty of the press.— Times.

THE ARRIVAL OF KOSSUTH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In consequence of numerous inquiries and
many letters received requesting information
respecting the reception of Kossuth, on his
arrival in this country, I beg to state (being one
of the committee appointed in May, 1850, to
superintend the distribution of the subscrip-
tions raised in aid of the gallant but unfortunate
Hungarian exiles), that the committee is summoned
to proceed immediately to Southampton on receiving
the communication by telegraph announcing his
arrival, in order that the present and future arrange-
ments may be made according to circumstances on
the spot, to sympathise and congratulate the
illustrious patriot, and that his reception may be in
every way worthy of a great, free, and enlightened
people. The patriotic and liberal Mayor of South-
ampton, Mr. Andrews, has also made every possible
preparation for the event, and will join and assist
the committee on the important occasion.
I remain your obedient servant,

NEW MUSIC.

A Collection of Psalm and Hymn Tunes, Chants, etc.,
harmonised for four voices, and adapted for the Organ
or Pianoforte.. By George Forbes.
Mr. George Forbes has rendered the cause of
church music much service by the opportune publica-
tion of this useful little pocket manual. All the or-
dinary psalm and hymn tunes and chants are here
arranged for four voices, so that any worshipper pos.
sessed of the slightest knowledge of music can join in
the psalmody with correctness, as he will no longer
have to depend upon his capacity for catching the
melody whilst it is played over once only by the or-
ganist. To all who desire to take part in that most
important portion of the church service, the singing
the praises of God, we cordially recommend this
little work. It will enable them to do so decently and
in order.

RUSSIA.

The Russians have discovered four important veins
of silver ore in the Caucasus—one in the defile of
Sadon, another in that of Ordona, a third in that of
Degorsk, and the fourth near Paltchick. The veins
are rich in the yield of silver. The working of them
has already been commenced by order of the
EMPBEOR.

A letter from Warsaw of the 19th says—
" A master tailor, named Michalowski some time
ago obtained a passport for Paris, on the condition
that he would not go to .London ; but, on arriving
at Paris, the temptation of the Crystal Palace was so
strong that he could not help visiting it. On his re-
turn to Warsaw a few days back he was summoned
to the office of the police, and was told that he had
been to London, in violation of his promise. It
was accordingly ordered that he should receive a
certain number of stripes, and they were duly in-
flicted."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept 29.
Three Commissioners sat to-day. The Chief Com.
missioner heard the unopposed cases, and Commis,
sinners Law and Phillips the opposed applications.
(Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.)

IN THE MATTER OFTUOMAS WILSON RICUARDSON.

This insolvent, who has been before discharged
under the Act, was opposed by Mr. Nichols for a
Mr. Burgh. Mr. Sargood supported.
It appeared that the insolvent had been engaged in
" play transactions." He had been in partnership
with a person named 13rown as tailors. He
had likewise been a clubhouse-keeper at the West-
end, and had frequented and betted at races.
The complaint on the part of the opposing creditor
wa,4 that an action brought on a bill of exchange for
104/. had been vexatiously defended.
The insolvent alleged that it had been accepted in
the name of the partnership, and he knew nothing of
it till he was served with a writ. He had paid money
to defend the action, but on the trial no defence was
made.

In addition to the other occupations the insolvent
Was in 1845 lessee with a Mr. Thorn of the Pavilion
Theatre, and lost about 7001. by the speculation. It
was proved in evidence that the law costs of the action
were 841., and that they had been increased 701. by
seven pleas pleaded.
Mr. Commissioner LAW thought that it was hard
enough for a creditor to lose his debt without being
put to 841. law expenses. There needed some altera-
tion of the law on that subject. There had been a
vexatious defence, and the insolvent would be dis-
charged in seven months from the vesting order.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.)
IN THE MATTER OF PIERCE O'BRIEN.

This insolvent, who had kept a beer-shop in Stam-
ford-street, was opposed by Mr. Cooke for Messrs.
Goding, the brewers. Mr. Dowse supported.
It was complained that the insolvent had impro-
perly contracted a debt with Messrs. Goding, and had
pleaded to an action. The house in Stamford•street
was rented of a lady, and the insolvent promised it to
Messrs. Goding, but put in another person. He ad-
mitted that he bad made a false statement in his sche-
dule with respect to the party.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS told him that the case
nearly came within one of the penal clauses. He
strongly recommended him to be careful in his future
conduct. He had behaved shamefully towards Messrs.
Goding, and had vexatiously defended their action.
He adjudged the insolvent to an imprisonment of five
calendar months for the vexatious defence from the
vesting order.
Both Courts sat to late hours.

GERMAN Y.

The Senate of liatriburih7;bri;hed on the 25th
the decree abolishing the fundamental rights of the
German states. The rights accorded for the city and
its territory by the Senate and the Assembly are,
however, to be preserved.
The King of WURTEMBURG has arrived at the
Hague.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 26th inst. says that the
negotiations between the Government of Austria and
Prussia on the one side, and the Danish Cabinet on
the other, relative to the settlement of the still pend-
ing uncertain relations between Denmark and the
Duchies and the Germanic Confederation, are being
still carried on. The Austrian Cabinet has proposed
to settle the question both of the Danish succession
and of the internal relations of the various distinct
parts of the monarchy to each other by the admission
of the whole Danish monarchy into the Germanic
Confederation. This view, which was at first opposed
by Prussia, now meets with its lively support, and
even the Danish Cabinet is said to have expressed
its readiness to continue the negotiations on this
basis.

Russia, it is also said, is by no means opposed to
this ; but even in the event of their being carried on
upon this basis, some time must necessarily elapse
before this complicated question can be settled.

The fact that this most carefully compiled and ad-

for the management of an election both by agents of
candidates and by returning-officers, with a complete
series of precedents of books and forms ; these in-

BELGIUM.

The Independence of Brussels says—" The result
of the elections of senators in all the country has
reached us. Numerically it is weak, since the go
vernmental liberal opinion only gains two votes, but
morally and politically it is immense, by the striking
adhesion which the four great towns of ythe kingdom,
the capital at their head, have given to the policy of
the Cabinet."

RUSSIA.

The Russians have discovered four important veins
of silver ore in the Caucasus—ono in the defile of
Sadon, another in that of Ordona, a third in that of
Degorsk, and the fourth near Paltchick. The veins
are rich in the yield of silver. The working of them
has already been commenced by order of the
EMPEROR.

A letter from Warsaw of the 19th says—
" A master tailor, named Michalowski some time
ago obtained a passport for Paris, on the condition
that he would not go to London ; but, on arriving
at Paris, the temptation of the Crystal Palace was so
strong that he could not help visiting it. On his re-
turn to Warsaw a few days back he was summoned
to the office of the police, and was told that he had
been to London, in violation of his promise. It
was accordingly ordered that he should receive a
certain number of stripes, and they were duly in-
flicted."

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may ho consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired ix youth, or by the excesses
of later years, 'whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a terns of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

THE HIGHLANDS AND THE

EXHIBITION.
(From the Inverness Courier of Sept. 25.)
An able article appears in the illustrated London
News of Saturday last, on the connexion of the High-
lands with the Great Exhibition, the stall fitted up by
Mr. D. Macdougall, of Inverness, popularly known
as " The Highland Stall," being the text-book. We
are glad to find that our pictorial contemporary does
full justice to the Highand display—not forgetting, as
some critics have done, that the stall is not an exhibi-
tion merely of fine tartans, having no connection with
the Highlands save in name and pattern, but that it
is intrinsically an illustration of the industry of the
north—of what the knitters, the weavers, and the
dyers can do in their own far-away glens, with their
own rude instruments and their own materials; and
of what our few, our too few, manufactories can pro-
duce in the shape of tweeds, plaids, and carpeting.
It is said with truth— .

THE GREAT TELEGRAPHIC CABLE.

GNETIC UNION of BRITAIN and 141711110 E.
There are still doubts of the sufficiency of the means,
and certainly a power of tenacity overcome by a force
8 tons' weight is as nothing to forces which it may meat
with in the great deep. That it is a decided improve-
ment on the last, however, there can be no doubt. The
last was a mere wire coated with gutta peroha to a
thickeess like that of a small wax taper. We pointed
out both then and previously the imprudence of trusting
to gutta percha under such circumstances, and wo now
find eliburate precautions taken to protect that substance
from the destroying agencies of the ocean. These arc
no more than necessary. We even find from the Berlin
correspondence el the Times that the gutta percha
which cov:rs the Prussian telegraphs is constantly being
destroyed by vermin, such as rats, although placed under-
ground for comparative safety. Tar itself and flax are
still vegetable substance., and may bo acted on under the
ocean—as timber is, for instance, by the to edo navalis—
so as to bo not very long a protection to the enclosed
gam percha even yet, any more than the galvanized iron
wire, thought that in ordinary circumstances certainly
appears to cc by no means so corturible as iron naturally
is. liLly it not become deg,slvinized in course of tele-
graphic use under the calm ? We, even yet, have not
heard of adequate experimental test or inquiry having
been gone into on these points. The present renewed
experiment is rather a costly one, and of course it is de-
sirable that the materials used should be as lasting and
effective as well as strong as possible.—Builder.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

The September adjourned session of the peace for
the county of Middlesex commenced yesterday morn-
ing at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. There
were 41 prisoners for trial, the whole of whom, with
three exceptions, were charged with felony. Mr.
Witham presided, in the absence of Mr. Sergeant
Adams, and the following magistrates ,were present :
—Mr. Turner, Mr. Woodward, Mr. Bayliss, Mr.
Bentley, the Hon. Captain Fitzroy, M.P., Mr. A.
Smith, &c.

The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the grand jury,
and dismissed them to their duties.

ROBBERY AT THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.

Philip Smith, 26, was indicted for having stolen a
portmanteau, containing a dress coat and other arti-
cles, and a hat-box, containing a hat and other articles,
the property of Mr. William Bunn, from the premises
of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. •
Mr. PARRY appeared for the prosecution, and briefly
stated the facts of the case.

The prosecutor (Mr. Bunn) said that he was a so-
licitor residing at Ipswich. On the afternoon of the
15th of September he went to the Shoreditch station of
the Eastern Counties Railway, having with him a
portmanteau and a hatbox, containing various articles
of wearing apparel. It was his intention to go
by the three o'clock train to Ipswich. He
arrived at the station at half-past two o'clock, and
having given his luggage in charge of the porter, he
went to the refreshment-room. He had only been
there for about five minutes when the porter came to
him to make an inquiry as to whether he had sent any
person to fetch his luggage. He denied having done
so, and went away with the porter, and the prisoner
was subsequently given into custody.
John Ives, porter at the Eastern Counties Railway,
said that on the 15th instant the prosecutor arrived at
the Shoreditch station in a cab, and gave a portman-
teau and hatbox into his (witness's) care, and having
marked them, he put them into the booking-office. A
few minutes afterwards he was engaged in taking
some more articles to the office, when he observed the
prisoner taking away the luggage of the prosecutor.
The prisoner had got away with it about ten or
eleven yards. Witness asked the prisoner what he
was doing with the luggage, as it did not belong to
him, and he replied that it belonged to his cousin, who
had ordered him to take charge of it, and that his
cousin was then in the refreshment•room at the eta'
