PARIS,

ELECTORAL HESSE.
IMPORTANT MOVEMENT OF TROOPS

few lines will show you that the die is cast. A Bavarian
and Hungarian corps have, to-day, entered Hesse Cassel,
and an Austrian battalion accompanied the former corps.
4,000 men marched from Italy to the Army of the Tyrol,

which consists of 30,000 men. Fourteen Infantry batta-
lions and four Cuirassiers marched from Hungary to join
the Bohemian army, which at present consists of 85,000
nen. Both armies are within half-an-hour's march of
the respective frontiers. General Schelickclam will be ap-
pointed to the command of the army corps in active
service. General Leiningen, an excellent officer, has
taken the command in Frankfort, instead of General
Schirnding, the Emperor's commander-in-chief of the
Armies of the Confederation. His Majesty left late last
night for Prague ; he was accompanied by Prince Schwart-

zaberi

BERLIN, OCT. 26. —The military movements towards
the Hessian frontier still continue, but in the detail
nothing now of importance. General Halm had been
despatched by the Russian Government to the Holstein
Government.

Two of the three cotton mills in Maryland are on half
time. The third is stopped altogether.
A movement has been started at Rotterdam for the for-
mation of a company to establish steam communication

between that port and New York.
The total proceeds of sixteen concerts in America by
Jenny Lind are estimated at 8200,000. She has present-
ed the charities of Boston with 47,225, the proceeds of
one concert. The audience in the railway depot, on her
farewell concert in Boston, exceeded 6,000 ; and the
crowd in the square amounted to 20,000 more, all of whom
distinctly heard the Swedish nightingale.
In Germany:everything indicates the approach of war.
Large bodies of troops are already in motion. Mean-
while, the Emperor of Russia has collected an assembly
of monarchs and diplomatists at Warsaw, where he and
his guests divide their time between business and festi-
vities. They are, as Louis Philippe said of his Royal
cousin, in 1830, only on a larger scale dancing on a vol-
cano.

Dr. Lang, of Australian celebrity, has emerged from
the debtors' ward of Melbourne Prison to take his seat in

the Legislature of New South Wales. He was elected at
the end of July, defeating a Mr. Holden by 25 votes. The
Doctor, we are told, was dragged home, the horses hav-
ing been taken from his carriage by the multitude. The
Daily News assures us that the Rev. Doctor is most
unpopular and that the act of the mob is only an indi-
cation of ilia hostile spirit which animates the people in
Australia to the Downing-street regime.
GoLn.—From the Ist of August to the 13th of Septem-
ber there was shipped from San Francisco, in various
vessels, 5,112,880 dollars, whilst, during the sane period,
the import of bullion amounted only to 295,000 dollars,
most of which came from Mexico. The Sacramento and
Stockton journals record numerous miners' bits. At
Coryota diggings, twenty-five feet deep, £4,600 was taken
out in two days. On the South Fork of Feather River
eight men realised £2,600 per week • and at another dig-
ging nearly £lOO each was daily realised by three cradles.
One solid rock of 141bs. had been found. Quicksilver was
entering into use to some extent. On Nelson's Creek
miners realised half-an-ounce per day. Many of the
streams of the Upper Sacramento were dry, and fair suc-
cess was being attained at the Trinity digging. Great
hopes were held regarding the yield of the Sacr

Lento's

Monday night upwards of £l,OOO worth of farming
stock was destroyed by fire on the estate of Mr. Joyce,
of Rathsane, county Galway.
On the night of the 16th ult., some malicious persons
stripped no fewer than forty sheep, on Kaddue, about
four miles from the town of Donegal, of every particle of
their wool. Four more sheep on the same mountain were
carried off by the marauders.
The island of Achill—where Mr. Nangle's missionary
work is carried on—is to be sold under the Encumbered
Estates Act. The land required (about 7000 acres) for
the mission has been offered to Mr. Nangle for £4OOO,
and an appeal for this sum is now made to the Protestant
public. May it be eminently successful.
A shocking murder is stated by the Limerick Reporter
to have been perpetrated near Templemore on Saturday
last, a young man, named Thomas Martin, having been
slaughtered in a very barbarous manner, for having taken
some land adjoining his own, from which a person named
James Joyce had been dispossessed. One person is in
custody for the murder.
CONVERSION OP ENGLAND.—Father Ignatius (the
Hon. and Rev. Mr. Spencer) is touring it in the north of
Ireland, where he is amusing himself by preaching up the
advent of the reconversion of England to the faith of
Rome. Holding forth at Lurgan, the rev. enthusiast, in
enumerating his grounds of hope, said that the element of
(Roman) Catholicity was to be found in the Methodist
body. The Bunting schism has probably led to this not
over sapient conclusion.

IRISH ESTATES : MOST IMPORTANT SALE OF THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF LORD MOUNTCA SHELL'S LANDS.
—On the Bth instant, at the Rotunda in Dublin, the En-
cumbered Estates Commissioners will sell in lots, 50,000
acres of prime land belonging to the Earl of Mountcashell.
The produce of the sale, it is expected, will amount to
nearly £450,000, so our readers may conclude as to the
quality of the land. The Irish acre, it must be borne is
mind, greatly exceeds the English measurement. The
estates are situated in the centre of the county Antrim,
near the towns of Ballymena, Broughshane, Glenarrn,
and Larne, with direct railway communication through
them, and two stations upon the estate—or the character
of the occupying tenants, who throughout the vicissitudes
of the trying famine-years have held their ground firmly,
and show a rent-roll as devoid of arrears as any property
in the kingdom. The estate is divided into four parts—
the Kells gatate, the Braid Estate, the Olenvalirr7 Estate,

and the Galgorm Estate. They are chiefly let upon leases
and at rents much below the government valuation. The
Kells Estate contains 3,556 a. or. 3 p., at a rent of
£2157 9s. 6d., and of the estimated value of £2688 15s. ld. ;
the Braid Estate contains 24,892 a. 2r. 34p., at a rent of
£5,888 175., and of the estimated value of £7,502 ; the
Glenwhirry Estate contains 11,401 a. Or. 7p., at a rent of
£4lO 12s. Bd., let on lease for lives renewable for ever ;
the Galeorm Estate contains 8,726 a. lr. 2p., at a rent of
£3,641 14s. 3d., end of the estimated value of £5,100.
The gross rental shows the sum of £12,016 13s. 2d., and
the amount of head-rents £5955. 3d. It is estimated that
the rentals will, on the falling of the present leases, be
inereased by about £4,' 00 per annum, of which sum there
will be an increase of fully £2,000 upon the death of a life
at present in his 70th year. The rental published under
the direction of the commissioners, sets forth most clearly
the condition of the several estates, and is illustrated very
fully by maps of each, showing the several lots into which
they are divided for sale, as well as a general map of the
railway and steam communication with the great towns of
Ireland, England, and Scotland. This is important, as
from the situation of the property it will form as eligible
an investment for the monied interests of the manu-
facturing districts of England and Scotland as for those
of Dublin.
