- OCTOBER 4.
News of more fighting in HoLsTEIN, in which
the Danes have had the worst of it. The Elector
Of HEssE CAssEL has issued a proclamation de-
nouncing all parties who have been concerned in
the late movements, and stating his determination
to put down !. all kinds Of political disorder" The
popular authorities in Cassel do not appear to be
intimidated by this edict, but declare themselves
determined to continue in the path of duty. The
Grand Duke of HEssE DARMsTADT is also combat
ing popular movements and denouncing popular
feeling by threatening proclamations. Should these
paper bullets not reach their object they will be
succeeded, we fear, by more destructive ones from
foreign muskets.
The speech from the throne at the opening of
the SPANISH CoRTEs will contain, it is said, plan
for settling the national debt. Nothing new from
FRANCE or ITALY.
The vessel Prince .4lbert attached to the Arctic
expedition, has arrived at Aberdeen, and announced
the discovery, at Cape Reilley and Beechy Island,
at the entrance of the Wellington Channel of traces
Of FIVE places where tents had been fixed, of great
quantities OF beef pork, and birds bones, and of
piece Of rope with the Woolwich mark upon it.
These were considered undoubed traces of Sir
JOHN FRANKLIN's expedition. The exploring ves-
sells were pushing boldly up Wellington Channel.
The overland mail from Bombay, with letters to
the 2ls August has arrived, but brings no news Of
Importance.
One hundred and sixty Birmingham manufactu-
rers have applied for fifteen thousand feet Of room
in the building for the exhibition Of 1851.
Three o'clock.-The Archbishop of TURIN has
been tried at that city for contumacy, and banished
the country. The affairs of the Archbishoprick
are to be managed as if the see was vacant. The
expelled dignitary has arrived at Besancon, in
France The refractory Archbishop of CAeLrARI,
in Sardinia has also been banished, and has arrived
at Civita Vecchia. The fighting in Holstein still
continues, and the Danes are still the losing party.
