of the Administration. To these pricis will be added,
agreeably to the disposition of the new law of accounta-

traordinary credits granted in the last session. I shall
also present to you the definitive regulation of the public

"Such is the state that the country and its adminis-

obtain so desirable au object I reckon with the greatest

and I rely, above all, on the assistance of Divine Provi-
dence, which has hitherto so signally favoured our great
and noble nation."

CHANGE IN THE PRUSSIAN MINISTRY.

A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 3d an-
nounces that the King of PRUSiIA had convoked at
noon a Council of Ministers, to deliberate upon the
measures that ought to be taken in consequence of the
entry of the Austro-Bavarian army into Electoral
Hesse, and of the occupation of the town of Hanau.
At the breaking up of the Council the KING appeared
much depressed, and immediately afterwards a dis-
patch was addressed by the electric telegraph to the
Prussian army assembled on the frontiers of Hesse.
The rumour immediately spread that his MAJESTY had
sent for Count D'ARmst, which 1.(1 tt the belief of
the abandonment of the policy of M. DE RADOWITZ,
and of the latter's retirement. It was said that M. DB
PERSIGNY and the English Ambassador Lad each
made the previous evening a communication to the
Minister for Fcreign Affairs.
A telegraphic dispatch, in the Cologne Gazette,
dated from Berlin, on the evening of Nov. 4, says :
—"-The resignation of Herr VON RADOWITZ was yes-
terday accepted. Herr VON LADENBEEG and Herr
VON DER HEYDT have also sent in their resignations,
but whether or not they have been accepted we can-
not say."
Another telegraphic dispatch, in the Correspon-
denz Bureau, of the same date, says—" According to
the Deutsche Reform, the resignation of Herr vox
LADENBERG has not been accepted. The convocation
of the Chambers has been fixed for November 21.
The Secretary of Legation, ROSENBERG, has de-
parted for Vienna, with dispatches relating to the
constitution of the free conferences."

It is supposed that AIONTEUFFEL, who has been
throughout the opponent of the policy of RADOWITZ,
Will be *trusted with the formation of the new
Ministry.
A letter from Cassel of the 2d says :

"At eleven o'clock this morning two battalions and a
half of the 18th Regiment of the Prussian line, the 12th
Regiment c f Hussars, and a battery arrived here. Other
troops are expected. The recepti in of the Prussian
troops on the part of the inhabitants was quiet and
friendly. All eyes are looking fur a proclamation on
the part of the Prussian commander. General von Tiet-
zsn addressed several citizens this morning at one of the
city gates, assuring them that the Prussians came as
friends, and hoping that they would be received as such.
M. Lucken answered that every true friend might be
certain of a friendly and hearty reception, upon which
the general reached out his hand. This reply exactly
expresses the general sentiment. The men were all
auartered upon the citizens as a temporary measure,
although the city is legally free from this burden. The
horses have bzen taken to the barrack stables. Fur-
loughed soldiers continue to arrive from Ilanau. The
poor men are in a pitiable plight. A subscription has
been opened in their behalf."
RADETSKY has been summoned to Vienna.

The following is the Austrian version of the Hes-
sian question; the document was drawn up in the
Vienna Chancery, and was submitted to the Frank-
fort Diet, and also to the Emperor of RUSSIA, at
Warsaw. The intention to restore everywhere, by
force, Absolutism and Obscurantism appears to be
explicitly avowed in this document:—
" The movement was commenced in the Electorate of
Hesg4t, by a coterie of the Chamber, and by the class of
employes of the state, who, seizei both one and the other
before the )-o,sr 1848, with a decided spirit of opposition,
partook in the
etesets and the aberrations of the As-
sembly of Frankfo:t.

ceivable anomaly which greatly embarrasses all govern-
mental action. the constitution, and
the regulations of
the service in Electoral Hesse, secure to he functionaries
of the state the maintenance of their places., so that
even the employes of the administrative branch can-
not be placed en disponibilite or en retraite, without tle.'ir
own consent. The Hessian troops have always been
considered as good and trustworthy. The sub-officers
and privates have, in fact, hitherto, even under the
most trying circumstances, remained faithful to the tra-
ditions of their old discipline. It is quite different with
the majority of the officers, among whom for a long time
past Prussian ideas have introduced themselves. With
the generals and officers of advanced age these feelings
are partly explained by their joining the Iniges of Free-
masons at which the Prince of Prussia is Grand Master,
and partly by the predilection of the Elector for the
military institutions and for the uniform of Prussia.
alarmed by the rapid progress which was made by the
democratic party in his states, and wishing to withdraw
himself' from the domination of the Ministry which had
imposed on him the revolution of March, and which was
formed out of the coterie of which we have spoken above,
the Elector decided on acceding to the treaty of union of
the 26th May, 1849. In spite of that, however, the Mi-
nistry maintained itself in power, and the Elector soon
re The p
acquired the conviction that his adhesion to the union,
which he had given under the influence of other circum-
stances, when Saxony and Hanover still 1321onged to the
alliance called that of the month of May, would infallibly
efface the Electorate of Hesse from the number of inde-
pendent states. Nevertheless order and authority were re-

eto
of the treaties of 1815, and the Elector followed the
example. Beyond the coteries of which we have already
spoken, the Prussian union was not favourably received
in Hesse. In order to put himself in a condition to be
able to follow up the new line of policy which he had
chosen, the Elector in February last dismissed the Eber-
hard-wippe.rman Ministry, and appointed M. Hessen-
pflug as Minister. From that moment the hatred of
all the revolutionary party, and particularly of the
party of Gotha, was directed against that Minister.
The Ilassenpflug Ministry carried its respect for con-
stitutional forms so far that it suspended, from the
commencement of June, the recovery of the direct taxes,
and simply placed in deposit the produce of the indirect
taxes in virtue of an arrangement concluded with the
Permanent Committee of the Chamber. The Ministry
demanded the vote of the taxes, but merely for the period
which would expire at the end of September. It was
then that the new budget was presented. We dwell
more particularly on this circumstance, because it has
been falsely stated that M. Hassenpflug wished to set
aside the budget entirely, whilst in reality his only ob•
ject was to provide for the wants of the service for a few
weeks, which in no way implied a violation of the con-
stitution, as that only required the presentation of the
budget when the question was to fix the taxes for the
whole financial year, After some very stormy discus-
sions the Chanabera refused the budget. This refusal
was equally inadmissible, according to the terms of the
constitution of the Electorate of Besse, and according to
the Germanic federal law. The result was a fresh
Chamber. The Government
dissolution of the
time announced the speedy convocation
at the same
of a new assembly of the States. The spirit of the
people was in general good;. it was thought that
be readily collected, as was
the taxes might
the case in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, whore
the revolutionary spirit bad even gained more ground.
But the main point was to find organs to collect the
taxes, and it was the administrative authorities who re-
fused obedience, founding their opposition on certain
paragraphs of the constitution, which could not be adapted
to the extraordinary circumstances of the country.
When, in order to compel them to do their duty, the
cauntry was declared in a state of siege, hesitations of
the same kind manifested themselves among the officers.
It was evidently hoped to constrain the Government to
retreat, and thua to bring about a movement towards the
Prussian union. Almost all the organs of the adminis-
r:rai ion ..f the State having refused their co-operation,
the power of the Government became paralysed. The
Elector quitted his capital with the Ministry, and after
several times failing in his attempts to re--,stablish legal
authority by his own meanp, he appealed to the Ger-
manic Confederation, of which he i; a member. This,
in a few words, is the explanation of the complication in
Heave; and it is beyond all doubt that the declarations
made by the Prussian Government encouraged the
employes and the officers in their resistance."

DENMARK AND VIE DUCHIES.
The Cologne Gazelle quotes the following te-
legraphic dispatch from the Correspondenz Bureau:—
. KIEL, Nov. 3,

" An Austrian officer has arrived here with federal
dispatches, which order the immediate cessation of hos-
tilities, and, in case of non-compliance, threaten that the
execution of the orders shall be insured through the
means of federal troops."

GREECE.
Letters from Athens of the 22d ult. state that the
dispute with the English Ambassador on the alleged
illegal detention by the Government of certain
steamers laden with currants and bound to England,
has been satisfactorily arranged. The elections bad

ITALY

The Aveizir de Nice of th,,l Ist in3t. T.:totes a letter
from Turin, announcing that the POPE has excommu-
nicated Piedmont.

A letter from Genoa of the 25th ult., states that,
on the previous morning as an Austrian steamer was
conveying the ErapitEss-3/loTnEit, grandmother of
the present Emperor of AUSTRIA, the Archduchess
SOPHIA, and other distinguished persons from Pola
to Trieste, it ran down and sank the commercial
steamer Amelia. No one perished. There was a
thick fog at the time. The owners of the Amelia
were recompensed for the loss sustained.
Our readers will recollect that at the time of his
abdication, King CHARLES ALBERT assumed the name
of Count of BARGE. The Municipality of Barge, de-
sirous of perpetuating the memory of this fact, has
decreed the erection of a marble monument to the late
KING in the principal church of the town. The wall
known sculptor ANGELO BRUNER', is entrusted with
the execution of this monument.

The Milan Gazette of the 31st ult. contains a notice,
informing the public that a quantity of Treasury
bills, representing a sum of 2500,000 Austrian livres
(about 3,000,000 francs) is to be publicly burnt in
the first days of November.
The Arrnonia of Turin states that Monsignor
FRANZONI has written to the POPE to express his sa-
tisfaction at the cordial reception he has experienced
in France from the clergy, the civil and military au-
thorities, and the whole population.
The Parma Gazette of the 30th ult. contains a de-
cree ordering a new levy of 1,000 men, 200 of whom
are to belong to the reserve. The others are to be
under arms by the 28th of February next.

MISS KELLY'S THEATRE,
NEW ENGLISH OPERA - HOUSE.

Miss Kelly's Theatre, in Dean-street, Soho, was
opened last night by an operatic corps, as an English
opera-house. This theatre is the very smallest in
London, and is, therefore, the one of all others least
adapted to musical purposes. The members of the
corps are—save and except Mrs. Alexander Newton
and Mr. Bridges Frodsharn, whose pleasing singing
in the concert-room is always heard with delight, but
who, neither of them, had ever before last night at-
tempted a public dramatic performance—unknown
to fame; indeed, it was everybody's first ap-
pearance on any stage, and, as might be ex-
pected, nobody had the remotest idea of acting,
and the whole affair went off like an amateur
performance. Among the new singers we would
notice Miss Low and Mr. Durand, as exhi-
biting much promise; they may, by study and ap-
plication, attain hereafter a respectable rank in
the musical profession. The opera was a grand opera,
entitled The Last Crusade, the composition of Alex-
ander Mitchell, the blind composer, and which had
been produced with success at the Royal Theatre
Brunswick. It would not be fair to Mr. Mitchell to
form a judgment as to the merits of his composition
from the manner in which it was performed last night,
but it is evident that he possesses a thorough knowledge
•of musical science. Some of the melodies were very
pleasing, and albeit much of the music is made up of
reminiscences, yet we consider that Mr. Mitchell has
some of the " right stuff" about him, and may here-
after become a great dramatic composer. We sin-
cerely hope that in his next attempt he will secure
the co-operation of a better librettist. Mr. Mitchell
was called on at the conclusion of the opera. There
was a strong muster of the personal friends of the per-
formers, and in many instances the zeal of the more
injudicious of these friends outran their discretion,
for they insisted on encoring everybody in every-
thing..

7'HE JEWEL AND PLATE ROBBERY IN
THE STRAND.-(THIS DAY.)

The parties implicated in this serious robbery were
brought up at Bow-street this afternoon fur re-exami-
nation, and, as at the former hearing, the court was very
much crowded. The names of the persons charged are
Daniel John Shaw, James Badcock, John Gardner,
Mary Ann Cheruneau, George Buncher, Mary Ann
Buncher, Charles Clinton (a lad), and Charles Kelly.
Mr. Gilliam attended on behalf of Kelly, who had been
out on bail; Mr. Wontner for the woman Cheruneau,
Gardner, and the Bunchers; and Mr. Humfreys for the
prosecutors.

The first witness called to-day was a policeman named
John Bright, stationed in Southwark. He stated that
on the evening of the 21st of October, the night of the
robbery, about seven o'clock, he was in the Borough-
road, when ho observed the prisoners Shaw and Gardner
together. He watched them into the house occupied
by the prisoner Bunchsr, and after remaining there for a
few minutes they came out again accompanied by
Buncher and another, and walked away in the direction
of Bteckfriars-road. Gardner had been once before the
magistrate at the Southwark Police-court, on suspicion
of having been concerned in a robbery.
Gardner—You are mistaken; I never was.

Shaw said he did not wish to ask the witness any
questions, but he had plenty of witnesses to prove that
he was nowhere near the through onj the night in
question.

Police-constable Jones, 250 M, stated that he knew
the prisoner Gardner well, as also the woman Cheruneau,
who passed as Gardner's wife in the neighbourhood of
the Blackfriars road. They wera suspected characters,
and the police had long had their eyes upon them.

Nary Willet, a young woman residing in Temple-
street. St. George's-road, in the Borough, also stated
that she knew the woman by the name of Gardner.
Mr. Humfreys said this was all the evidence he pro-
posed to offer to-day, as the property had not yet been
traced, and he must, therefore, ask for another remand.
Mr. Wontner again insisted that there was nothing in
the evidence to implicate the woman Buncher, and he
applied to have her liberated on bail.
Mr. HENRY reminded the Learned Gentleman that
she was found attempting to destroy a list of jewellery,
watches, and other valuables which were not likely to
belong to a woman in her station of life, and until she
could explain away that matter he must have her detained.
Mr. Wontner contended that the list might very pos-
sibly apply to other property than that stolen in the
case; and as proof of that the list contained articles
which Mr. Clapham, the prosecutor, had missed or lost.
Mr. HENRY said that might be so, but it was not im-
possible that another robbery may have been committed
on the same night, which this list also referred to. It
would be for a jury to decide whether the list referred
to the Strand robbery or not, and he should remand all
the prisoners till this day week, enlarging Kelly's bail
till that period.
The prisoners, with the exception of Kelly, were then
remanded in custody.

CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAT.)—A Cabinet
Council, for which summonses had been issued on
Saturday, was held this afternoon, at two o'clock, at
the Foreign-office, Downing• street. The Ministers
present were Lord John Rusaell, the Marquis of
Lansdowne (who arrived in town this morning from
Bowood), Earl Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Sir G.
Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Lord
Chancellor, the Earl of Carlisle, Sir Francis T.
Baring, Sir John C. Hobhouse, and the Marquis of
Clanricarde. The Ministers have accepted the invi-
tation of the Lord Mayor elect ( Musgrove) to dine
at Guildhall on Saturday next (Lord Mayor's day).

The Lord Mayor entertained last evening at the
Mansion-house the gentlemen of the committee of General
Purposes, including several Aldermen. Covers were hid for
fifty.

PREPARATIONS IN NEW YORK•--An American
correspondent writes :—" As the time for the great Exhibi-
tion of 1851 in London draws nigh, preparations are on foot
to give it American support. Steamers will be shortly ad-
vercised to carry passengers from the United States and back
at half the usual charges, and a large number of persons
will take advantage of the occasion to visit your country for
a few weeks. I should not be surprised if you had an inva-
sion of Yankees, armed and accoutred at all points with in-
ventions and models."

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE —Yesterday morning, be-
tween six and seven o'clock, considerable alarm was occa-
sioned at Waterloo-bridge, in consequence of a young man,
having the appearance of a labourer, attempting self-destruc-
tion by precipitating himself from the parapet of the bridge
on the Strand side. It appears that at the above-mentioned
time one of the labourers in the employ of the Waterloo-
bridge Company, on going down the steps leading to the
pier, found the body of a man lying upon the bottom step,
completely insensible, and in a most mutilated condition.
He instantly raised an alarm, and the unfortunate man was
removed without delay to the Charing cross Hospital. He
was examined by Dr. Golding, the house physician, and Mr.
Hancock, the surgeon, and it was discovered that both his
legs were fractured in several places, his skull was also frac-
tured, and he had received other injuries of a most serious
description. The usual remedies were adopted in such cases,
and the unfortunate man afterwards rallied sufficiently to de-
scribe where he experienced the most pain. On being ques-
tioned how he met with the injuries he refused to inform
them, and remained perfectly silent. He said his name was
Hennessey, but refused to give his address or tell where his
friends resided. He was dressed as a plasterer, and appeared
to be about 20 years of age. On being searched, a trowel
was found in his pocket, the point of which had entered the
hip joint A Replicate was also found, which only referred to
a trowel which had besn pledged. The surgeon gave very
little hopes of his recovery, and from the extent of the in-
juries be had received Hennes: ey is not expected to survive
the day. The unfortunate man must have thrown himself
from the parapet joining the steps leading to the pier, and
instead of falling into the water, as he anticipated, he fell
upon the steps. His hat was found upon the steps near him.
CAMBRIDGE HOUSE.—The effects of her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Cambridge have been removed from
this residence to Kew Cottage, where the Duchess and the
Princess Mary are now staying, and where if is understood
the Duchess intends permanently to reside. Cambridge
House, it is understood, will be either given up to the Mar-
quis Claolmondeley or the ground landlord, Sir Richard
Sutton.

Captain Warner, the inventor of the "Long Range,"
wai yesterday brought up before Mr. Commissioner Evans,
at the Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street, and applied for
his discharge from Wbitecross-street Prison, but was re-
manded back to citstody until he shall give security in the
sum of 5001. that he will not leave the country until the pro-
ceedings in the Court shall be completed.
