      af troops ta face all eventualities . ' The motion of the qaestori relative to tbe Asaemblj ' s special eomtaiisuy of police threatens to throw down tbe flimsy structure of reccenciliation built on the President ** * menage . The danger of this question /« s tar mi ripping up the newly-cemented peace is concerned , lies less in the d ' upoiition of parties than ia the fatal chain of facts _. Which it snch u to make collision inevitable , with « ren the best inclioatioa on both sides to avoid it .

      11 . Carlier , instrument of the resentment of the Xlyiee , struck the protege of tht Assembly with a _nddenness which has called out the old grudge in all its bitterness . If . de . Tinguy hu presented a _proposition to modify the electoral law , according to which tht electoral list shall be drawn up b y the mayor , sitting in the municipal council , assisted by two delegates for _esch commune , and the _counciNgcneral of tbe department . On that list shall be inscribed ex

      officio , and i * alphabetical order—1 st , all-Frenchmen , aged twenty-one , in possession of all their cfril and _pelitical _righti , and having resided in the canton for three years * t least ; and 2 dly , those who , when the list was formed , not having attained all the conditions of age and domicile , shall have aeqeired them before it is definitively closed . The proof of the conditions mentioned above is left to thc judgment of ibe municipal council and of the delegates .

      The Orleanist clnb , which formerly held its meetings ia the Rue de Richelieu , has removed tothe Bae du _Pyrtmidet . M . Thiers takes an active put in the management of the club . M . Neftzer , responsible editor of the' Presse / was summoned before the Court of Assize of the Seiae en Monday , oa a charge of publishing false sews , and a fabricated , falsified , and lying document , attributed to a third party ; and calculated te disturb public order , fie wis condemned to a year of imprisonment , 2 , 000 fr . fine , and costs Tht destruction of the nambers seized was ordered and tbe period of constraint , par corps , fixed at one "year . The great _commation made by the mocltmesstge of the' Presse' at Lyons seems to have dictated this rigoron _seatence .

      M . Gottfried Kinkel , who had been condemned to death fer the part he took in the insurrectional movements of Germany , and whose sentence had been commuted into detention for life , bnt who escaped from the fortress of Spandau some days ago , pissed through Paris for London , Mobs 'Police Inteixigexcb . '— "We find tbe following in the 'Constitutionnel * : —* It appears from the journals of the south of France that , after the discovery of ihe conspiracy of Lyons , the superior chiefs of the _demsgogic party gave orders to their bands in the southern departments to abstain from any demonstration or proceedings of a nature to awaken the attention of the authorities ; but it

      appears that this order has called forth violent recriminations among the soldiers of the emeute . A great number among them positively refuted to obey , and wished to attempt an immediate rising . In several departments of the south , particularly In that of the Ardeche , the subordinate leaders decided on . going to Lyons to solicit the active co-operation of the demagogues of that city , in order to turn to account the first moment of confidence which usually follows the discovery of a plot . Nothing less was thought of than to attempt a sudden and general movement , the signal of which , starting from tbe southern part of the Ardeche , wonld extend to _Annonay and St , Etieaoe . where it was hoped to

      recmt their ranks from among the working classes , and then gain possession of the city of Lyoas , whicb , in case of success , would naturally become the centre and the head-quarters of the insurrection . Happily the projects of the delegates of the demagogues ol ihe Ardeche exdled but little confidence in the secret meetings at Lyons , and moreover , the proceedinp of certain well-known agitators at Lyons bad awakened the attention of the police , and measures as energetic as prompt were taken on both banks of the Shone , in the department of the Ardeche , as well as in that of the Drome . Thanks to these measures , the llth patted off without the slightest disturbance . '

      The 'Echo de vesone announces that , onthe 12 th inst ., after a perquisition made at the ofiice of the' Kepublictln de la Dordogne , ' M . Desolme , tbe chief editor , was arrested and lodged in prison . This matter is said to be connected with the Lyons plot . At Rouen several of the manufacturers bave been compelled to put their hands upon half work ia consequence of a want of orders . A serious and destructive accident occurred oa board the Yilmy _, the largest ship in tbe French "Navy . On the 8 th , that ii four days before the squadron reached Brest , a loud explosion was beard , followed by cries of pain . Drums were beaten and signals of distress fired . It was supposed the powder

      magazine bad caught fire . All lights were put out ; , utter darkness prevailed , aud in the midst of the ! thick smoke all hands turned to get the fire nnder . Between decks were heard the groans of the wounded , some of whom lay crushed under the gun-carriages , which had been torn from their places hy the shock . Twenty sailors , scarcely recognisable , were extricated irom the ruins , of whom ten died immediately , aud there is little hope of preserving any of the rest . The accident occurred abont ten league ) to the north of the He de Bas , tbe squadron then sailing in line of battle : The Valmy had occasion to make a night signal , which is managed by means of a rocket . The gunner appointed to prepare these fireworks had had the imprudence , no donbt with the object of _speeding bis work , to keep a chest of powder and otber firework materials in the cabin of the orlop

      deck on tbe larboard bow , where he had not only stowed a chest of rockets , bnt two other copper chests filled with cannon cartridges—all which was clean against the rules of the service , which forbid powder to be kept out of . the magazine . The gunner entered the cabin , followed by a sailor carrying a light , from which some sparks must have fallen . The chests exploded ; both the men were killed on the spot , as well as the carpenter and clerk in the next cabin ; five second gunners , sleeping alongside in the deck , shared the same fate ; a common sailor was killed by the jump ofa gun-carriage , which broke his _ectill , and fifteen others were dreadfully wounded . After great exertions at the pumps the fire was got under . The Valmy , notwithstanding the shattered state of her decks , was enabled to reach Brest withthe rest of tbe squadron , whicb hoisted colours half-mast high , in memory of the

      victims . The decree ealling ont 40 , 000 men of the class of 1849 b the principal topic in the Paris journals . The democratic Socialist papers disapprove gene _, rally of the decree . They affirm that nothing new has teamed to render this measure necessary on the part of France as a precaution for the maintenance of the balance ot power ; andthey denounce it as a demonstration against the people of _Girasnv in their efforts to obtain a greater decree of politial liberty . Two or three of the journals of the party of order express themselves also _unfavourably to the measure .

      The correspondent of the ' Daily News' says : — * I have stated what seems the double object , external and internal , of the government in arming . German democracy is to be threatened on the flank , while a rival mflitary power to General Changarnier is to be created . The conservatives , who go all lengths with the first aim , regard the second with _iealousy and Vigflance . The democratic party , on the other hand , would have no objection to see a fomidable military force on _feot , which could hold ih check tbe presumption of tie _Mmminder-uwhief of the army of Paris , their _arch-foe , if the same farce were not posted in the east ana north , in posttiow to overawe the _Gsrmaa struggle for liberty ,

M . Betting de Lancastel having brought up his report , whieh staled " that General Lahitte had beea elected by 63 , 691 votes out of 68 , 497 voters , and 142 , 2057 inscribed , 7 M tested , In tbe name of the constitution , against an election which violated the 1 st , 24 tb _, and 25 th articles of the constitution . M . Michel de Bourgts

      seconded this protest , and congratulated those who bad practically pretested , against the law of May 31 st by abstaining from the poll . M . Baroche defended the law against an attack which he designated as a positive offence . ( Violent aaurmufi on the Left . ) M . de Flotte maintained , in reply to the Minister of the Interior , that when the law was contrary to reason and justice it might be attacked with propriety . ( Murmurs on the Right . ) The President of the Assembly ssidUhat in that case every one mig ht set himself up as a judge of the law . But the question was to vote on tbe election . Tbe house then divided . Forthe validity of tbe election there were 460 votes , against 173 . General Lahitte was proclaimed representative for the Nord .

      A person who has just returned to Paris from a visit to the frontier states that the town of Sarrelonis , where he was on the 14 th , is full of armed men , summoned to form part of the Landwehr . The villages , he says , are regularly decimated . The most robust and healthy part of the population is taken off . The greater part of theie unfortunate persons are married men , forced thus to abandon their wives and children . It is impossible to give an idea of the desolation of the country . The villages in the neighbourhood of Sarrelouis resemble a camp , so crowded are tbey with troops . ' A part of these were to leave on the 15 th for Goblentz and

      _Kreutznach . Since 1815 the Prussian geverament has not called out such a force . The general opinion in the country is that it is not merely the question of Cassel that occasions all this gathering , of armed men , but that there , exists other motives . At the present moment all public and private , works are suspended , and commercial enterprise is completely at a stand-still .

      BELGIUM . In every part of Europe we bear of the activity of the Papal party . The following is from the [* Independent Beige , of Saturday t—* There is no longer a doubt that the clerical party are about to undertake a campaign against the cabinet . Peace and commercial . prosperity do hot suit this party ; it must have agitation . Ministers were bent on devoting the session to the discussion of important laws and the promotion of material interests ; bnt tbe chiefs of the clerical party have risen in the assembly and harrangued on the subject of the papal allocation of May last , in which bis Holiness declared religion to be in danger in Belgium . Ministers had protested against the truth ofthe Pope ' s fears and language . His friends in the church , however , raised a debate therein , and got their answer .

      KOMAN STATES . The 'Duly News' correspondent , relates some most atrocious instances of cruelty on tbe part of the sbirri . One man ( a respectable shopkeeper , was well nigh cudgelled to _de-ath by them . The Minister of Commerce . Jacobini , has received urgent directions , byan or dine santissimo of the Pope , to give up the _Barromei-palace forthwith , for the use of the Jesuits . The tribunal of commerce has been subjected to the _cemmission of censure , and the greater part of the employes dismissed . The demonstration of public feeling with respect to the new taxes bas been so marked that the government appears resolved to proceed more cautiously with

      the second tariff , that upon the professions . The notification was to have been published last week ; indeed , it was printed and ready , when the reflections of the Minister of Justice indnced the govern _, ment to suspend the measure , since it was urged that the division of professional men into categories wonld involve a world of _difficulties , as sometimes an excellent lawyer or doctor , by reason of his health or family affairs , might only be in a limited practice , although his merit was first-rate . By this tariff advocates were rated at ninety dollars a year , and medical men at sixty dollars . At the closing of

      the lists at the municipal office ( or the registering of taxable shopkeepers , about three hundred individuals were found to have presented themselves , whereas several thousands -altogether are calculated as being comprised in Rome . The statue of _Patquino has furnished another epigram npon the subject of the faxes , punning upon tbe name of tbe Minister of finance , Gtlli ( Gauls ) . Ci voller tanti Galli a _uberarci , Un Galli sol basto per _rovinarci . A horde of Gauls to free us came , and hardly did suffice , A single Gaul has ruined our finances in a trice

      SWITZERLAND . The definitive result of the elections of Geneva is as follows : College of the city , M . Mayerbrotber , radical candidate , 2 , 929 ; Gen . Dufour , conservative , 1 , 700 ; M . James Fazy " stood 35 th on the list of 44 deputies to choose . College of the right bank James Penay , radical , 650 votes ; Duval , conservative , 530 . College of the left bank : M . Benit , radical , 1 , 807 . The first conservative candidate obtained only 1 , 600 . The radical list completely

      succeeded . GERMANY . The daily journals have their columns filled with details as to the movements of tbe large armaments , set in motion by the various governments , and ru » mours as to the course of the negotiations in which the diplomatic body have been engaged . The result of the whole seems to be , tbat tbe Prussian government has at length given way to Austria but whether this will arrest the war is doubtful . Popular opinion is said to be decidedly against concession , and it is not improbable that the King may be coerced into active warfare . In tbe mean _, time the prospect is , that the German people will eat their Christmas dinner in the midit of an armed peace .

      The King of Wurtemburg , imitating the Elector of Hesse , bas applied to tbe Austrian government for assistance against his own people . The Minister for Foreign Affairs , Her von Linden , has been dispatched to "Vienna to ask for Austrian intervention , the chambers having refused to grant the money asked for by the ministry for the purpose of arming the people against Prussia , and the people themselves having shown the greatest dissatisfaction at the conduct of their king , If war ensues , thc King of Wurtemberg , who is so desirous of returning to a state of vassalage under the House of Hapsburg , will run no small chance of losing hit crown .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . There have been several skirmishes between the hostile armies—the number of killed and wounded inconsiderable . The German officers are , however , leaving the duchies , which is an _unfavourable omen for those who uphold the German side ot the dispute .

      TURKEY . It Is slated in a letter from Constantinople of the 10 th , tbat the Austrian Government had given its consent to the release of all the Hungarian refugees m Turkey , with the exception of Kossuth , but that the Porte had declared that all must be released or none . The refugees themselves were , it is added , of opinion that all ought to be treated alike . The definitive answer of Amtria was expected with anxiety ; Should it be favourable , Perczel and Batthyani would , it was said , take up their rest . dence at Paris , and Kossuth at London . '

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . The discussions in the Legislative Council had lead to dissension in that body . Inthe sitting of the Legislative Council , of the 20 th , when some drafts of ordinances were presented , and the motion was made by tht Hon . Secretary tothe Government , that one of them be read a first time , Sir Andrew Stockenstrom moved an amendment , to the effect that no other business should be proceeded with until the ordinances containing the constitution of

      the Parliament of the Cape of Good Hope bad been complealed and passed . Upon this amendment a long and earnest discussion arose , which terminated in a division , when it appeared that there were seven to four against the amendment , which was consequently lost , all the official mem * bers , with Mr . Godlonton and . Mr . Cock , voting against , aud Sir Andries Stockenstrom , Mr . Brand , Mr . Reitz , and Mr . Fairbura , toting for it . The numbers in the minority protested and resigned .

      In the committee of the council it had been resolved by a large majority , consisting ol official members , and persons nominated by the Governor , that the legislative Council shall consist exclusively of persons who possess landed or fixed property to the value of £ 2 , 000 over gad above aUencum

      ... CHINA .: ' .. _-: _'( , From Hong-Kong we learn that the insurgents were getting the better of the imperial troops . Numerous bands of robbers were plundering and burning throughout the provinces of _Kangsi and Canton , and after the captureof the city of Kintschan the insurgents had advanced to within 120 English miles of Canton . BORNEO . 7 Intelligence bad reached Singapore of a victory gained' by the Dutch , over the Chinese in . the Sombas river , in Borneo , after a bloody engagement . It was repotted that Sir James Brooke ' s mission to Siam bad proved ah utter failure .

      NEW SOUTH WALES . Sydney journals have , been received to the beginning ef August . They contain more details relative to Dr . Lang ' s election for Sydney and its immediate consequences than had previously reached this country . When the poll closed , such was the extreme excitement felt , that _notwithstanding tbe rain fell in torrents , a very large concourse . of persons assembled at tbe hustings anxious to bear the result of the poll . The numbers were : for tbe Rev . Dr . Lang , 970 ; for , Mr . " Holden , 945 , or a majority . of 25 in favour ofthe former candidate . Dr . Lang has declared his steadfast determination to carry his agitation scheme into effect even

      within the walls of the council chamber . In addressing the electors on his triumphant return , Dr . Lang designated the Australian constitution as unconstitutional , and looked forward to the new act tb secure to the colony the best constitution that could be made , despite the Exclusion Bill . The proceedings terminated in Dr . Lang being dragged home in a carriage by a number of tbe crowd , the horses being ; removed for tbat purpose . On the following day Dr . Lang ' s election was duly notified by the governor ia the official * Gazette ; ' onthe 30 th July he took bis seat , and shortly after gave

      notice of hit intention to move for a select com * mittee being appointed to ascertain whether there are any , - ' and if any , ' whaf foundations there are for certain charges recently . preferred ! by the Right Hon . the Secretary of State for the Colonies , against a member of this house , in matters connected with a series of efforts for the promotion of emigration to Australia , It would , from this notice of his intended motion , seem that Dr . Lang ' s personal share in the agitation scheme will be discussed , and the Secretary of the Colonies receive the full vial of the doctor ' s wrath upon his head .

      PORT PHILIP . Melbourne journals to the end of July supply a few items of intelligence . The ' Argus' congratulates the colonists on an increase in the exports of wool ; which amounted in 1849 to 51 , 500 to 61 , 500 already shipped this year ; the total value of the exports had also greatly increased on the previous year . The ship Culloden arrived at Melbourne , July 5 th , with the first batch of _needlewomen , forwarded by public subscription , which was started by the Hon . Sydney Herbert . Tbe' Herald' notices the uniform good conduct of these emigrants ai deserving the highest encomium ; there was but little illness , and neither a birth nor a death occurred on _baard during the voyage .

      WESTERN AUSTRALIA . Active preparations were in progress at Perth and Fremantle to transmit specimens of produce , & c . for the Great Exhibition of 1851 ; among the articles to be forwarded will be marrow-fat peas , woods , essential oils , & c . Tbe schooner Evergreen , from Singapore , with supplies for the colony , had not arrived , and fears were entertained for her safety A series of charges by some emigrant passenger , per Sophia , had been preferred against Mr . Parr , the

      surgeon superintendent ofthe ship during the passage from England . An inquiry was immediately instituted by the government ,. which resulted not only in clearing Mr . Parr of the charges brought forward , but established his character for humane and kind treatment . Some of the female emigrants by the Sophia had behaved in such a manner on landing at Fremantle that the executive was forced to lock them up in the gaol , and had resolved to send them to Pertb .

      NEW ZEALAND . By accounts received from tbe new settlement , Port Cooper , Canterbury , to the middle of August , was prospering most favourably . Political and domestic news there was none , save that feelings of happiness and the enjoyment of health were generally diffused amongst the settlers . Port Nicholson journals to the end of July are barren of anything of general interest . Emigration to California was still pursued to a large extent , " particularly from . Auckland . The' Otago News' had been discontinued in consequence of the paucity of subscribers ; the proprietor before closing bis career was presented by his supporters with a purse containing eighty sovereigns .

      CANADA . Montrbal . —The last of the political , trials for the burning of the Parliament-house resulted in an acquittal . The name of tbe individual tried was Jameson . It is not needful to give _detailsof the trial ; it is enough to say tbat the fact came clearly out that the attack and burning of the Parliament-house in 1849 was a consentaneous act on the Bpur of the moment , aud not a premeditated one . This was doubtful before the trial . The customs returns to the 31 st of October show a revenue from that source , since the beginning Of the financial year , of 2 , 083 , 608 dollarB ; being an increase on tbe corresponding portion of last year of 886 , 176 dollars . At the present rate of increase the provincial revenue for 1850 will exceed that of 1849 by 2 , 440 . 600 dols .

      The subscriptions collected in England by the Bishop bf _Tortnto for his church of England university , amounted to 64 , 000 dollars . The vicinity of Montreal had been visited by one of these annual storms from the east which come withthe autumn . It began on Saturday , the 26 th ult ,, and continued to rain furiously , -with heavy gales of wind , until Sunday evening , when a shift of wind to the north converted the falling rain into snow , which covered the ground to the depth of two inches with a fleecy coat , and covered the waters with ice . To air appearance the winter bad set in as far as agriculture is concerned , but the abrupt variations in tbe temperature of this climate rendered predictions dangerous , lt was hoped tbat the atmosphere having discharged Us accumulated wrath , the province might enjoy a month of seasonable weather . - ¦ . _* . ...

      UNITED STATES . We have dates from New York to the 6 th inst . The excitement caused by the efforts made to enforce the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Bill appears to be on the increase . A report had been circulated that President Fillmore was about to Usuea statement of the views on this subject ' entertained by himself and his cabinet , but the non-appearance of any such document had thrown doubts on the

      authenticity of the report . Another rumour to the effect that the President had ordered troops to Boston with a view to enforce the Fugitive Slave Law , was officially contradicted in the ( Washington ) ' Republic' of the 5 th inst . The - Republic * states that no communication had been received , either from Boston or elsewhere , that could , lead to the belief ef sucb a step being . required , but adds , that should such an exigency arise , no doubt the President - would do his duty . '

Senator Walker , of Winscoritin , is nominated for the office of President , and We presume will be carried to the poll , i Weextract the following from an able ' address , of the Industrial State Convention , to the electors of the State of

      New York . It contains a forcible statement of the evils sought to be remedied , the causes to which they -are attributed , and the measures by which the National _Reformes seek to achieve their object •—Hundreds of thousands of our citizens are already homeless , and their numbers are fast increasing _^ Tbey are dependent on an overstocked labour market for the means of subsistence , while , in consequence of tbeir aggregation in cities and villages , through the monopoly of the soil in the country , they are compelled to pay exorbitant prices for the shelter they are forbidden to provide for themselves , and subjected ta higher and higher rents the faster they increase , and because their increase gives tho lords of the soil tbe power to exact theml

      Had we the power , we would inscribe this trnth in letters of unquenchable fire in the heavens , that any system tbat enables one set of men to live without labour in luxury on the necessities of their fellow beings deprived of the means of self-employment , is a daring iniquitous usurpation ef Man ' i Inalienable Right , that ought to be resisted without cessation and at all hazards . Of such a character we declare tbe usurpation of the soil for the exclusive purposes of any number less tban the whole people ; and we call upon our fellow citizens to wage unceasing warfare against that usurpation til the right of every family to a home be acknowledged , and Us security made the first object of government . To tbis end we urge tbe following as measures of primary importance , and to be insisted on as such among the qualifications of all candidates for public office :

      1 . To prevent any further monopoly of the soil , by limiting the quantity that any one individual , or association of persons , may hereafter acquire , 2 . To exempt the homestead from all liability for debt . 3 . To prevent any further traffic in the public lands , by declaring them free to actual settlers , in limited qnantitiei , and transferable only to those possessed of no other lands . These are the measures which we consider of radical importance . Besides restoring the soil to the people , and securing homesteads to all in one

      gentration at farthest , and at once reversing the present tendency to higher rents , lower wages * and mat of employment , they will , of their own operation , remove many existing evils for which surface remedies are required and proposed . We would have our legislators , first and foremost , provide against land monopoly , by tbe measnres above named ; and then , having secured the downfall of the _master evil , we would have them , instead , as heretofore , of legislating almost exclusively for the benefit of capital , turn tbeir attention to measures for tbe present relief of _dewn-trodden labour .

      Too long have tbe industrial classes been misled and estranged from each other by party names . This state of things bas resulted almost necessarily from the great evil which we have , now organised to uproot . One operation of land monopoly has been to amass wealth in the hands of non-producers , wbo by means of it have controlled legislation _^ and procured unnumbered privileges to enable associated wealth to extract usury from the people by schemes ostensibly for the public good , for objects which the people were unable to accomplish for themselves , because isolated and deprived of their rightful means by land monopoly . In time large' numbers of landless people have become dependent for employment and existence . on tbt privileged - interests thus created , and have been induced to take sides with the rival capitalists struggling for legislative

      aid at the public expense . Another effect of the foundation wrong has been to complicate arid render difficult and expensive exchanges of products , by unnaturally crowding the mechanics in cities , and unnecessarily scattering the agricultural population , thus engendering a class of _forestalled of products , who take the lionV share for tbeir services , and necessitating a hotbed system of credit , in aid of which has been invoked the interposition of a burdensome horde of lawyers and a costly legal machiuery . As the landless have crowded the avenues of- useful labour , and reduced its compensation , increasing multitudes have preferred the chances of office to the chances of productive employment illy compensated , and thus have the toilers been arrayed in antagonism to each other , and led to war upon one another politicall y under party leaders , and urged on by party cries !

      That folly has had its day . The toilers bave sought out the origin of their multiplied wrongs , and bave devised a radical remedy . They demand the Restoration of the Soil to the People , as the only means of securing the rights of 'life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness , * asserted in the Declaration . of Independence . " They demand this by measurea dictated by a spirit of compromise , _fuJJy conscious at the same time of their right to revolutionary and immediate thorough redress if

      thenmoderate demand be disregarded , while increasing Poverty and Pauperism is the only alternative for them and their posterity . For Land Restoration as the radical remedy , and for temporary alleviative measures , such as have been indicated / will they vote , regardless of party names , till their _juat _requirements be fulfilled or they become satisfied that the right of suffrage is _* inadequatfi to tbe ends of Justice . Radical Reformers in this country would do well to lay these important truths to heart , and ponder » ben deeply _.
