gestures to the menace , these honest agents of the publiciforce collared me , pushing me back with violence , f nd endeavoured ; to prevent my passage . I was about to protest as well as I could Against this outrage to my dignity « s & character 28 an elected of the people , against this violence done to my person when the worthy chief of these two met }; , the brigadier . ! came furiously towards us , his i « ord in bis hand , and cried , as ifiit were the most simple thing in the world , " Gendarmes , frappez .-sdbrcz . !" £ nd at the same moment , another hand aeiaedLme , and three awords were raised-atove my head . My friends , who had remained calm until then in the
Interior of the house , seeing the danger which menaced me , forced open the door , -and threw themselves between these three madmen and myself , and freeing me from their hands , agd turning aside their swords , received the blows destined for me XW the five gendarmes being nailed , began to cat and thrust right and left on us and on the passersby . I had the profound grief to see blood flow . Many of my friends were wounded in this deplorable conflict , although they only endeavoured to cause it to cease , by seizing the arms of which such a fatal use was made against them . I must add , to be exact , that I also saw one of our aggressors with a bloody face . He was the only one who in
this shameful ambuscade received an apparent wound . I know not , at the moment at which 1 write , if it has any gravity . But what I know well U > that five or six citizens who hurried up received wounds which will for a long time leave traces , if they have not a sad result . Such , citizen editor , is the way in which the agents of the public force understand their duties and their mission- how they respect the domiciles of citizens , their liberty , BUd their life . I do not speak of their respect for the inviolability of Republican representatives ; : for 9 long time past it seems to have been a received
thing that the rights which we derive both from the constitution and the suffrage of our fellow-citizens , only serve to place us out of the pale of the com- ' won law . The attack of which I complain to yon , and which I signalise to the indignation of your readers , en attendant the opportunity of bringing it forward in the tribune of the National Assembly , is , however , only an edition of that which was com * juitted at Moulins on the 1 st of May , 1849 , against Ledru Rollin and two of his colleagues . "Violence will then always corae from men who call themselves moderate , and who entitle themselves . the friends of order ! Fraternal salutation .
' n . Sartin , ' Representative of the People , « Montlueon , OeS . 6 th . ' The interference of the gendarmerie with the dinner toM . Sartin at Commentry has led to very serious troubles . The government organs speak of a bloody battle as having taken place between the troops and the people . It appears certain , by the admission of M . Sartin in a letter to the 'Avenejoent / dated Montlogon , October 10 th , that the populace of Couitneniry turned 9 ut , padded , the etreefs singing the 'Marseillaise , im proclaiming loudly their determination not to allow any arrests -J 3 be made . They were as good as their word .
They resisted ihe gendarmes , and twice rescued several prisoners , who were as often recaptured . Three men were wounded by the fire of the troops . The ' Patrie speaks of two gendarmes as being severely wounded . According to M . gattin ' s account , however , the resistance of the populace was passive merely ; but one gendarme was hurt , and that accidentally , while wrenching his musket from the bauds of an artisan who had seized it in self-defence . The ' Patrie' evidently makes the most of the deplorable occurrence , to H ? a foundation for the favourite regime of the S tate of siegp , which will doubtless soon be applied to the department of the Allier . According to the Jatest accounts , the disturbance was far from being at an end , and the people were in a most alarming
state of irritation . Several squadrons of cavalry arrived at Commentry , by forced marches , from Mouses , and on the 10 th they escorted thirteen prisoners , handcuffed , to the prison at Montlueon . The procureur-general and several members of the Court of Appeal of Riora have arrived there , and Were met by the general commanding the district and the procureur-general ot the Republic . A legal inquiry is going on , which will probably lead to fresh State trials . M . Sartin conjures the people to cease a useless resistance , which can only aggravate the position of the prisoners , and distract attention from the original provocation of the gendarmes . Be repeats his determination to complain to the Assembly of the flagrant violation of the sanctity of a private house , and the illegal attack upon his person , which led to these lamentable results .
Accounts have just arrived of disturbances at Bagneres , on the 9 : h inst . , occasioned by an interference by the gendarmes with the customary amusements of the annual fetes . There seems to be little doubt that there is a great difference between the President and his Miflisters . At a cabinet council recently held , it is Said , Louis Napoleon proposed the repeal of the law of May , aud that his ministers intimated that they would resign if he persevered in that intention . Be therefore postponed , for a few days , his final decision . What is important in the thieatened
resignation of the ministry is , Carlier , the Prefect of Police , has joined them , alleging as his reason , that he would not be able to preserve order if universal suffrage were again the order of the day . On this point Gsrardin says : — 'A few weeks ago M- Carlier mads no mystery to any one of his opposition to the law of May . What has wrought such a sudden change in the opinion of the Prefect Of Police ? Is it true that , alarmed at the prospect of a debate on the Lottery of the Lingots d'Or , M . Carlier prefers leaving his post by the great door of politics , instead of being turned out by an order de jour motite ?
A sort of panic seems to have seized upon the sren of the parliament on Monday last , who , in consequence of the most puerile rumours , hastened to the Salle des Conferences of the Assembly . There General Bedeau—who presides in the absence of Dupin—and other grave people were heard repeating with solemn credulity that the President oeditated a military coup d ' etat for Tuesday or Wednesday ; that all lhe arrangements were made ; that the generals of the garrison who would no OftheElysea ; and that all the leading parliamentarians were to b , arrested . These monstrous
reports , eagerly swallowed and circulated by the alarmed representatives , seem to have originaicd in the ^ nations of General Magnan , tLe Com mander-in-chief of the Army ot Paris ; General Carreler , Commander of the First Division ; and General Levasseur , Commander of one of the ' Brigades . The ' Messaged reports that Magnan is to be succeeded by General Bourjolly , who will also replace General Kandon in the " Minii'trv of War ; while Carrelet is to give way to General " St . Arnaud , commander in the late African campaign . The same j jumal calls upon absent representatives to return to Paris with all haste .

. : —¦— * * ~~ — " - The ' Moniteur' gives the . following account of disttsrhauces said to have , bto & ert « at in the , ? A The magistrates of Spectre having arre 6 t * * committed to prison Vhe Mayor of PrettVf . au Desmoineaux , and two other inhabitants of that commune , an attempt wis made to rescue them . On the morning of the , I 2 tfe msV 500 men , armed with euna and scyths * , marched on Sancerre . Hav fne halted at -Mefcetrtol , a few miles off , -and being informefi rliat Seacerre was defended by the national guard and -several brigades of genfiarmes , they commenced a 'retreat ; and soon disconcerted by military "combiuatsans dispersed :. in the woods . Twenty-fix of tbenrtoters were arrested and-conducted t « Bourges , where they will be tried . A battalion of ttre ' -liae has been despatched from Paris'by railway te the same town .
The Prefect -of Police has published a most despotic ordinance concerning the itinerant vendors ofwegetables , poultry , rabbits , porcelain , slipperSi aid every other-sort of article , from the 1 st of February next all such vendors are te be prohibited from street sale of the wars , they cry , without a permitorliceneefrom the . prefecture . The condition of nationality and residence is likewise Introduced into this edict which is highly important . Every itinerant'vendor is required 4 obe a Frencl .-man , domiciled et least for one year in Paris . He
must wear , after being licensed , a medal , inscribed with his-name-end the number of his permission . It would be difficult to describe the sensation produced by this -despotic ordinance . There are , of course , -an immense number of these poor people who -are notiFrench ; and still more who have not resided for a year in Paris . For naturally the first resource of an 'impoverished stranger would be to drive-flomehouseless trade , by which be couldeupply . at least , the want of food although shelterless . Bat the badge will be loathed by -all , as a stigma which will brand tfaeir class .
The persons arrested at ( he office of the ' Voix du Proserin on suspicion of being connected with the French-German : plat , together with Lecat , the gerant of that . jourEal , were set at liberty on Monday . A seditious plot is said to have bees detected at Rouea , by the police , who have arrested two obscure individuals . It is said that in the apartments of these were found bettles of powder and balls . A letter from Grenoble of the 10 th eaya that the day before a . person named Moulin , the manager of the Alimentary Association , was arrested , in virtue of a warrant issued-by the procurer-general . He is
licensed of having long been an agent of the secret societies of Lyons , and their most active cor < respon deet at Grenoble . Three , copies addressed to him , of the proclamation ef thoitevolutionary committee of , the South , were s ^ bed -at . tbe post-office ; and a search ., instituted at his residence , led to the seisure of a quantity of socialist writings , and a number of letters tending to conspropiise { Other persons . Mi Garavel , a half-pay captaiq , . was " . Also arrested at the same time , but has since begn . setv & t liberty . Captain Bran , who was arrested -some time back on a political charge ., had been removes ? on the 10 th instant , under escort for Lyons , whsa he is to be tried .
ITALY . A correspondent writing from Florences the 6 th last ., thus describes thc ^ state of Tuscanyi =-' Religious intolerance is again predominant . here , sikI the growing spirit , of protestantism is A bated by inquisitorial rigour on the part of the £ ° vernment . The Swiss protestant minister ilj £ 0 beeE . definitively prohibited from preaching x & Italian . Count Guicciardini w . as recently convicted ; of having , put forth protestanA doctrines , to abo » ti a dozen of ; his friends who met together for the : purpose , ia ^ ensequence ot whwh heinous offence he and his auditors are now languishing in confinement in the prisons of Volterra , . with the exception of those wto preferred banishment , and had in « terest enough to obtain that commutation of their
sentence . An English gentleman , Mr , v < alker , was arrested about sis weeks ago on a similar charge , that Of protestant nrppagandism , and althqagh his period of detention wrs hut short , owing . to the immediate and spirited remonstrances of the ( Hon . Mr . Scarlett , British charge d'affaires , the unfortunate © embers of the family with whom the . < fffending conversation took jslace ( a conversation which Mr . SValker affirmed to have been utterly unpremeditated ) are still iq gaol aid likely to remain there . These arrests and condemnations are by no means according to the tenour of the law , as laid down by the constitution , but are . carried out by arbitrary police recelutions , termed prficaso
cconomico , a sort of ecccomy which generally proves fatal to the interests of the prisoners . This species of abuse of power was s & olished by the statu * , but has been lately resumed b ^ the reactionary government , sjd the insolence of the police has greatly increased in consequence , to the prejudices , in several instances , of British subjects . There was , indeed , such a simultaneous buret of complaint from Briti .-h subject ? , about six weeks ago , tbat it appeared as if an intentional and systematic attack bad been made upon them by ' . be government agents . There was the case of Mr , Walkerj to which 1 have just alluded ; that of Mr . Newton , the architect , who was collared by the police in the
town of Volterra , whilst he was looking about him and making some inquiries , and then imprisoned for having made a bmiQue remonstrance against the gendarmes' conduct ; and that of Captain Hare , his brother , and the Honourable Alfred Stourton . who were roughly handled by the police in the Greets of Lucca , and subsequently dragged off to prison , and grossly insulted there , for having ridden their horses loo fast over some tabooed portion of road . These aggressions have given rise to complaints of unjust imprisonment on the part of Mr . Scarlett , who has been promised by the government that a strict examination shall ba made into the conduct of the gendarmes , and tbat their dismissal shall ensue as soon as their culpability is proved ; but the Tuscan authorities are as slippery as eels , and it requires great firmness and patience on the
part of the Bnrisb charge d ' affaires to hold them to their bargain . The Lucca affair is now before the regular tribunals , and an excellent advocate has been retained by the three English gentlemen . Many witnesses , amongst whom is an Austrian officer , attest the brutal and uncalled for violence of the gendarmes ; hut I shrewdly suspect that they knew pretty well | how far they would be backed by their superiors , and only acted in compliance with their wishes . The case of Lord Aldborough ' a sons at Leghorn is still wrapped in mystery Their trial was brought to a conclusion on the 13 th of last month , aud the papers were forwarded to Marshal Radetsky for inspection . Hitherto no answer has been returned ; probably the Emperor ' s visit to Lombardy has so much occupied the time of the all-powerful marshal , that he has not had leisure to rnter into the merits of the affair . Whatever
sentence the Austrain court-martial at Leghorn may have passed will remain secret until it has received the approbation of the superior military authorities , so that the future destiny of the Messrs . Stratford depends in reality upon the fiat of the veteran Radetsky . From the time of their arrest up to the date just mentioned , the prisoners had not been confronted with each other ; the three brothers being separately confined in cells adapted for eight , so that each has seven companions . On the 13 th they met together for the first time since their arrest . Their health is tolerably good , but they rather complain of the meagreness of prison diet . Their ultimate fate does not inspire their friends with much uneasiness , as it is supposed that the Austrian authorities are not desirous of implicating themselves
with the British government , nor is it thought that the revelations brought out during the trial are such as to warrant extremely severe measures , even if the competence of an Austrian court-martial to pass judgment on British subjects , in countries not belonging to Austria , were to be recognised . Meanwhile the Dragon British war steamer , is still at Leghorn , watching the progress of events . One thing is certain , that is , that the unfortunate Tuscans compromised in the affair will be visited with the utmost rigour of the law , the government being very glad to have an opportunity of laying iis hands on so many of its enemies ' at one fell swoop . ' It is worth n : entioning that the person suspected of havins played the spy , in the case of Lord Aldborough ' s sous , has just been rewarded by being appointed to a government situation at Porto Ferrajo , in the island of Elba . On the 27 th of last mouth
the Austrian military tribunal at Leghorn condemned five men to be hung , and one to be sent to the galleys , for murder and robbery ; but , in consequence of no hangman being forthcoming , the sentence was commuted into slwotvng for two , aud imprisonment for the other four . The two culprits were accordingly shot through the back on the morning of the 30 tb , by a platoon of Austrian soldier ? , in the presence of ten thousand spectators . The garrison at Leghorn is abuut to march to Florence , and will be replaced by a regiment at Ruthenes , who will not hold much treasonable com-

On Saturday , the 4 lh inst ., the Austrian troops attended mass and'paraded the / s treats of Florence with victorious oak-leaves in their shakos , honour of their Emperor , it being St . Srsincis's day .
The " Milan Gazette ' publishes the following notification ;—• ' In order to give the inhabitants of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom a proof of the paternal solicitude of the imperial and royal government , and of the unvaried clemency of our august sovereigns , his Excellency Field-Marshal Count ftadetzky , has , in virtue of the authority his Majesty has been pleased to entrust to his hands , directed that all persons not belonging to the army , who are now undergoing punishment for political transgressions of minor importance , owing to the state of siege , shall receive a free pardon , provided their punishments , whether directly ini Aided by court-martials , or mitigated by the presiding officers , do not exceed a year of simple military arrest . In consequence of which all civilians now in prison under the circumstances defined above , shall immediately be set at liberty .
4 The Military Commandant , Count Gyuxay . « Milan , Oct . 8 , 1851 . ' The Milanese journal , ' II Tesoro , ' has been suspended until the cessation of the state of siege , for several articles against tbe Austrian government . We take the following from the ' Morning Herald * s— ' We have now before us a letter signed by twenty-one Neapolitan priests—three of them canons , three of them doctors of divinity , one of them a doctor of canon law , two of them Ligornian missionaries , and the remainder aimnle prie & ts , addressed to the Attorney-General of the criminal court of Naples , claiming at his hands that merciful treatment to which every untried prisoner is
entitled . These priests , be it understood , are all political prisoners—that is to say , they are men who were , and are , favourable to that constitution which Ferdinand first gave to his people and afterwards perjuriously revoked . They are , and have been for months , lodged in tbe prison of St . Francis , at Naples , where thay lie forgotten—at least , untried . For some time after their incarceration , these gentlemen (( for some of them are gentlemen by birth , and all by . education ) were allowed three-halfpence a day of our . money to subsist themselves upon ] But ever since - the ^ Sth Febru ary last they have by a decisioc of the . ^ Secretary of State , been de « prived of this miserable , pittance , and have been told they ought to subsist . themselves out of the
patrimony of ihe church . The result is that some of these gentlemen aret | now lying on the bare flags of the prison & oor , without , covering , and tbat they are actually perishing slowly , from the pangs of hunger . For months itue friends and families of these priests sent tbess . such succour , and assistance in money as could be occasionally conveyed into the prison . But these suae . are now emanated , and they complain they must perish unless tfhey be allowed by , the government « pt three-halfpence , but three earths ! a day . ' We are gentlemen ana ^ riests , ' say they , in .. a touching appeal , * and either iring us to ] trial , liba ^ te us , or give us ^ herewith to ^ ftbsist as gentlemen and men of honour ,, 30 that We r # 2 av not perish of fespger . *
GERMANY . Advices dated i } he 10 th inst . stfcte . that the hope . of . iGermany must is very low when -the meeting of ! . tbe . £ 3 avarian chambers can inspire any & ope at all ; yet it seems there is spme faint expectation abroad iu & t tfr > se chambers may , be less submissive to the demands of the Frankfort Diet , touching , the abolition , of . 'fundamental rigbts , ' and the ' -ne-organisisg of , iiB constitution , ' tfchan the smaller fixates have hithsito shown themselves . One after tthe other of the . se have manifested the utmost alacrity in retrogressioa , from Wurteraherg to Bremen thejee ; has been bo . dissentient voice . T-be senate of the ; last elate has AV £ n gone further th ^ n the ab olition
of the ' fundamental rights . ' It baa decreed , or ather sanctioned ^ he decree of the government , that when any of Abe rights in question have come iifto practical-exercise by specific laws , . such laws are £ 0 undergo a most . searching revision , ju order to jturify them of whatever leaven they may contain . tjbat may be tboug ' nt at variance wi & b the principles of the Bund . A pretty clean sweep of constitutionalism has been akeady made . The right of sslf-tasftion , ministerial responsibility , the independence 0 $ the judicature , tfee freedom of the press , the rig & t of association , juri . es , and
corporation privileges , have all at ' one fell swoop been done away with . That Bavaria should make a stand , however , against this appears of all things the most improbable ; for Bavaria may be said to belong to the Austrian division of Germany , and lias besides been most active in crushing every vestige of constitutional life out of Hesse Cassel . Nevertheless , as this middle ptate is somewhat ambilious , it it is thought that out of a sentiment of pride—in order to ussert an independency of action —to make her importance felt by the two great powers , she may on this occasion set an example nf resistance tbat the little slates dare not
venture on . From Pesth and Hermannstadt there have arrived lists of the sentences pronounced hy the court martial on another batch of political prisoners . In the first list figure thirty-eight members of the 'illegal ' Hungarian Diet , and of the rebel' commissioners . The sentences pronounced were death by the halter , and confiscation of the property of all . The Emperor ' s mercy has commuted the sentences on seven
to ten years' imprisonment , on thirteen to six years' imprisonment , on seven others to four years' , on four to two years' imprisonment ; and the remaining seven have been liberated altogether . Those condemned at Hermannstadt were formerly officers in the Austrian service . They are forty in number . The sentences pronounced by tbe court were death by the halter upon all . Their punishment has been commuted to sixteen , twelve , ten , eight , six , fire , three , and two years respectively .
A considerable number of the Deputies of the Diet , sit t ing at Konigsberg , have sent in a petition to the government against the revival of the Diets , of which the following passages give the substance : — 'It is notorious that there are a variety of opinions with respect to the legality of the provincial diets , that not only in many places no elections have taken place , or have been carried through by miserable minorities , hut also that no small number of deputies who have been elected have refused to act . And although by personal representatives , and minority elections , it has been possible to open tbe Provisional Diets , yet , that many of the deputies hare appeared very reluctantly is not to be denied , and that not only the second and third estates , but the first also , have manifested the strongest aversion to the revival of the diets . In case the Chambers should sanction the continuance
of these assemblies for the consideration of provincial and local interests , it is the general wish that the cities and rural parishes should send an equal number of deputies to those of the first class , by which means the chief objection to the diets might he removed , and they mi g ht bv brought into harmony with the constitution . Some time ago we mentioned to our readers a rumoured intention on the part of the Prussian government to change the organisation of the Prussian army . An initiative step towards this end mav be detected in the * Miliiar Wochen Blatt' lasl
week . The 1 st regiment of Land web r Reserved Infantry is not , when its terra of service has exp ired , to be disbanded , but is to be kept up ( dropp ing the name of Landwehr , ) under the denomination of ' Regiment of Reserved Foot Guards ;' and both the Uhlan regiments are also to belong no longer to the Landwehr , but to be continued permanently on the footing of disposable troops .
UNITED STATES . We have advices from New York to the 30 th ult . We informed our readers some weeks ago of a riot at Christiana , in Pennsylvania , where , in an attempt to obtain possession of some fugitive slaves , their owner was killed , and several al his party were dangerously wounded . Since that time numerous arrests have been made of persons , black and white , who were engaged in tbe affray , and they are to be tried for murder and treason . Among the blacks arrested as accessories are four , who were recognised as fugitive slaves , and sent back to their masters without hesitation .
A very large meeting has h * en held in Charles , ton , South Carolina , at which separate secession was warmly and efficiently opposed . The course things are now taking in that state seems to give assurance that no attempt at disunion will fer the present be successful . It has become evident of late that the southern states are all , with the one exception , loyal to the Union , and cannot be induced

to break away from the ties which have bound the states together . Among the new candidates for the presidency is Mr . L . Mary , Secretary of War during the difficulties with Mexico . He is said to be an able man , and to stand a good chance . The Cuban prisoners have addressed a letter to the British Consul gratefully acknowledging the valuable services rendered in their behalf by him . A number of literary men held a meeting on Wednesday , the 24 th ult ., in the Library Rooms , City Hall , for the purpose of adopting measures to pay proper regard to the memory of the late J . Fenimore Cooper .
A committee was formed , Washington Irving , chairman and president , Judge Duer , F , Hallec R . Kimball , George Bancroft , and Dr . Piancis , who were empowered to arrange preliminaries .
SWITZERLAND . The grand council of the canton of Berne commenced , in its sitting on the 8 th inst ., a discussion which was looked to by the inhabitants with great interest . It concerns tbe property in specie of the canton of Berne , carried away by the French in 1798 , and of other property in gold and silver carried at that period for safety to the Oberland . The Radical party , with M , de Staemple , the late president of the Federal Assembly , at its head , says that certain patrician families appropriated to themselves a part of the sums saved from the French ; and , in consequence , it now proposes that the descendants of these families shall be made to repay
what their fathers seized on . They want to have a commission of inquiry nominated , from which every burger of Berne shall be excluded , such persons , they affirm , being interested in tbe question . On the other band , the law authorities have had & long report prepared on the matter , in which it is proposed to name a special commission of seven or nine members , but without any exclusion of the burgess class , and with permission to the grand council of the cautan to adopt such measures as it may think proper after the said commissioners shall have reported on the question . So the matter rests at present .
AUSTRIA . Kossuth . —A telegraphic advice has reached Vienna , with the incredible information that the Austrian minister in Loudon has demanded his passports if Kossuth be permitted to land . The statement is not believed , but the fact that the Earl of Westmoreland has ^ delayed his departure from Berlin , coupled with the conviction that this government , mad enough at all times , hut now immeasurably incensed at the preparations making to receive Kossuth , is capable of taking the strongest and most unreasonable steps , have induced some persons to credit it . Others , too , who thoroughly
understand the ignorance of the Austrian government and their incapacity to understand the relations of ;« . ministry iu England and the power of a member of ; the cabinet , are inclined to believe that the Austrian minister may on this occasion , as he did in tbe affair of Haynau v . Barclay and Perkins's draymen , have demanded the inteference of the government where it has no power whatever . Meantime Lord Palmerston is overwhelmed with abuse in ( he government prass . He is at the bottom of everything ; he has instigated the common councils of Londca . and Southampton ; he has done so much indeed , that to simple minds he must appear allpowerful as . well as uniqnitgus .
CEKiTRAL AMERICAN STATES . An insurrection has broke * : out in the Central American States of San Salvador and Guatemala .

The ' Journal des Dabats' states that the number o { foreigners residing in the department of the Seine , who have applied for permis de sejoitr , exceeds 30 , 000 ; but , that only 20 , 000 have been granted , as it required some time to investigate the case of each applicant to ascertain whether there is any cause for refusal . The permis were in the first instance , says this journal , made out for three or six months only , susceptible of renewal ; but for some days past they have been issued
without any limit to time being affixed . The number of expulsions of foreigners does not up to this time , adds the ' Dcbats , ' exceed 200 . The statement concludes by mentioning that a further delay has been granted to enable foreigners to apply for permissions of residence , who have not already done so , but that it will expire next week , and thai then the clause of expulsion will be enforced against such residents as shall not have complied with tbe order of tbe prefect .

to over 30 , 000 , and are generally represented by the white population as good , moral , aud industrious citizens ; and tbat the destitution and suffering which is reported to prevail is exaggeration . The only assistance they stand in need of is in maintaining schools and the advancement of religion . A letter from Rome , in the * Lombardu-Veneto ' of the 4 th , states that the Pontifical Government is still trying , though in vain , to form a Papal army . The revival of the Order of Malta is spoken of at Rome ; but the chief obstacle to such a
measure is the dispersion of the vast property formerly belonging . to the Order in Spain , Portugal , Italy , France , Austria , and Poland . The writer adds that in consequence of the refusal of the Federal Council of Berne to allow a Papal army to be recruited in Switzerland , the King of Naples will send his own' Swiss regiments to the Pope , which are to pass for having come fresh from Switzerland , thus eluding the articles of the Convention passed between the four Catholic Powers , which stipulates that no Neapolitan troops are to occupy the Reman States ,
The ' New York Tribune' says that the use 0 the new female costume is greatly on the increase , and adds of the Bloomers : * We are g lad to observe a better behaviour towards them by the sovereign public . It is one benefit at least of the increased adoption of the dress . Bloomers are getting to he too general to excite surprise or ridicule . A duel , in which one of the parties was slain , oc curred in Brownsville , on the 8 th inst . On Sunday evening , about eight o ' clock , a dispute arose
betweenMr . W . H . Harrison , of that city , and Mr . W . G . Clarke , of Point Isabel . A sort of informal duel , with five shooters , was proposed and accepted on the instant , in the street . They went out and at fifteen paces commenced the contest . Both pistols missed fire in the first attempt ; the deceased ' s pistol missed fire a second time ; his antagonist fired , without effect , and again fired a second time , when the deceased fell by a shot near lhe region 0 / the heart . A . warrant was issued for the arrest of
Mr . Harrison , but he passed the river into Mexico before it could be executed . The ' Italia del Popolo' states that a patrol of revenue o / ficers , perceiving during ' ihe night several persons coming from the Transtevere , and carrying a heavy burden , thought that il might he some articles of contraband . Having examined the parcel , they found it to contain another fulminating apparatus , which was to be exploded before the shop of Lenti . The palice continued most active searches in that
quarter . An English Cabinet courier , on his way to Naples , having lately landed at Civita Veccbia , while the steamer remained in the harbour , was not permitted to re-embark by the authorities , because his passport was not legalised for the Pontifical dominions . He was , however , allowed to continue his journey by land ,, passing through Rome , Lord Palmerston , it appears , has taken offence at tbat insult , and the Consul , Freeborn , has already addressed several energetic notes to the Pontificial government demanding reparation .
Count Battbyani has hired apartments in the Champ Elysee , Paris , where he purposes to lead a life of retirement , A person of the name of Pastor was brought on Saturday before the Correctional Police , Paris , under a charge of having had a quantity of pistols in his possession , without permission from the authorities . In his defence he declared that he was the agent of a factory of arms established in Belgium , and that the forty-nine pairs of pistols found in his posaession belonged to that firm . Tho court
decided that the permission required by law was indispensable , and in consequence sentenced him to pay a fine of 200 fr . The widow of General Enna , who was killed in an engagement with tho party of Lopez , has arrived at Vigo , in a steamer from Cuba . Tho Guatemala frigate has also arrived at "Vi go , with 116 of the persons condemned by court martial to imprisonnient with hard labour in Spain , for having invaded Cuba under Lopez . The Venus and the Isabella-Catolica bring ten others , making altogether 120 .
M . Martin , deputy mayor of tbe commune 01 Cressat , who had been suspended from his functions by the' Prefect of the Creuse , for using disrespectful remarks towards the President of the Republic at a sibling oi the municipal council , has been definitively dismissed . A delicate question of military law has been under , the consideration of the second council of war , presided 0 V 6 r by Lieut .-Col . Maneque , ofthe ISth Rogi-• inent . A sergeant . of the 10 th Chasseurs , going to a lpublic ball , met private Ligoade , of the same Ctxrps , staggering drank upon the staircase . The
sergeant ordered the pnvate to make way , whereupos'the latter struck him . The minority of the couKcil . were of opinion ihnt the Draconian tenor of tbe mijifcary code , which-prescribes the punishment of deafchrfcr striking a superior officer wasiuflexible . But a m-ajcrity of four against three adopted the argument . of counsel for the defence , that when a nofi-commisiKoned officer off ( duty mixes wi 6 h his subordinates ^ a place of jiublic diversion , he loses a porfc £ qu , of the prestige of his rank , and cpon this considersiifD , the offender -ras sentenced only to five years' iE $ B . neisonmerit in iwas , with mUitaaf f degradation .

Tsb JtEAt DiscovBBfiP . —In Australia , the gold diilfiOvei ^ s , 66 new and surprising to ihe public , are not knew to tbe scientific world . Mora than two years ago , in an " Essay . on the Distribution of Gold Ore , " read before the British Association , to which our readers will be inoflbtedfor some of the facts contained ia the present jgoaaip , Sir Roderick Murcbison " reminded his geological auditors taat in considering the composition of the chief or eastern ridge of Australia , and its direoft ' on from north to south , he had foretold ( as well as Colonel Helrnei'son , of tbe Russian Imperial Mines ) that gold
would be found in it ; and he siated that , in the last year , one gentleman resident in Sydney , who had road what he had written and spoken on this point , had sent him specimens of gold ore found in the Blue Mountains ; whilst from another source , ho had learnt that the parallel north and south in the Adelaide region , which had yielded so much copper , had also given undoubted signs of gold ore . The operation of English laws , by which noble metals lapse to the crown , had induced Sir Roderick Sfurchison to represent to her Majesty ' s Secretary of State that no colonists would bestir themselves
in gold mining if some clear declarations on the subject were not made ; but as no measure on this head seemed to be in contemplation , he inferred that the government may be of opinion tbat the discovery of any notable quantity of gold might derange the stability and regular industry of a great colony , which eventually must depend upon its agricultural products . " That was the language use I by Sir Roderick Murchisou in September , 18 * 10 ; and in September , 1851 , we are nil startled by the fact which brings emphatic confirmation of bis prophecy . —Dickens ' s Household Words .
