France. Paris. Satpssat.—It Is Evident F...
FRANCE . Paris . _Satpssat . —It is evident from the turn the debates have taken for the last u ™ days in the _Legislative Assembly , that the Conservative majority is determined to he avenged on the . President of the _Republic , both for his message to the President of the Assembly , and the dismissal r : f tha late cabinet . They support the new ministry on all the great questions of state , but on all paints regarding the _personal dignity or wishes of the President , tiiey show a _deTermination to re pay him humiliation for humiliation . On Thursday , this petty war was carried ca in the shape of a motion tbat the Assembly should henceforth attend no more public ceremonies ,
lsst the IVe . ident should appear a greater man on these occasions than any of the representatives . _Yesterday it was through the Vice-President ( il . Buulay de la Mcurthc . ) tbat a hit was made at the head of the jtate . It will be remembered that the salary of ths Vice-President of the to-public was _fix--d by lbs Constituent Assembly , at the sum of 48 , 000 francs , with apartments in ihe Palace of the Luxembourg . The apartments iu question are not furnished , and M . Boulay bas _consfqu ? nt " y never been able to take possession of them . An attempt was made in the Constituent Assembly to have the
matter placed on a more proper footinz by giving an _additional sum under the name of frais de _rejireseuiaiion , hut ths Republican members of the Constituent Assembly refused . Things remained in that position _li'l now , when the Prince de ia Moskowa , M . de _Vhvigny , hi . _Gavine , and _someoiher _Bonapariists , determined to bring forward a measure allowing the Vice-President 52 _, _000 f . as expenses of his househo _ld . The committee to which the bill - was referred ( composed entirely of Conservatives ) reduced the proposed grant to 20 , 000 franca , and now the _Assambly . hy a coalition of ultra-Conservatives , have n-ieeted the proposed grant altoicther .
Paris , _Svsbjly . —Tie ' Moniteur' publishes a decree nominating General de Labile Minister of Foreign Affairs , in the place cf M . de Rayneval ; and another , hy which M . Darcy , prefect of the Rhone , is nominated Under-Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior . By the condemnation of the persons tried at _Versalfcs for the affair ofthe 13 th of June , no less than thirty seats in the Legislative Assembly bave become vacant ; and it is supposed that the Assembly , in the course of to-morrow , will issue orders for new elections . The following are the departments vacant , wiih the names of ths late members , all of
whom are now under sentence of transportation for life , with the exception of M . Suchet , who is under sentence of imprisonment far _fivj years : —Al'ier : _MFarpn-Fayoile . Ariege : M . Pilhes .

French Combination Laws . —The question which occupied the . Legislative Assembly on Saturday , although it appeared to interest the members present much less than the puerile and personal squabbles of the previous two days , is one of very considerable importance . It was with respect to the combinations laws , which , though long sine ? abolished in England , are still in full force in France , and that with even a greater amount of _injusice to ihe working man than was tolerated among us-even in the worst of times . The present slate of the combination laws in France is simply this : —By articles 414 , 415 . and 416 of the penal code concerning coalitions , a doable difference is established between masters and their wo
_.-kmena difference in the definition of the offence , and one in the extent of the punishment . Article 414 only punishes masters when they ' unjistly and abusively ' coaibiEe for the purpose of lowering wages . Article 415 , which has reference io tbe coalition of workmen , does not mention the words « unjustly and abusively . ' Besides this , the coalition of workmen is subjected to a more severe punishment than that of the masters . To suppress this unconstitutional distinction , and to re-establish equa'ity iu the relations of these iwo great classes , a proposition was brought _forward by a great number oi ihe members of the Left who proposed the simple repeal of Articles 414 , 415 . aud 416 of the penal code , which woula
1 ) 3 equivalent to the repeal of the combination laws altogether , and a declaration that combination was no longer an offence . To this sweeping , but , as we in England think , just change , the committee to which the proposition was referred proposed a modification , which was on Friday supported , in the name of the committee , by M . de _Valian-snil . By this plan the articles ofthe penal code would be retained , with the simple omission of the words 'unjustly and abusively'in art . 414 , the effect of which would he to leave the combination laws in full force , hut to _pisce the masters and workmen on an eqaality . A third plan wa 3 proposed by M . Morin ,
to ; he effect that combination should not he considered an offence on the part either of masters or workmen , excepting in the case of violence and intimidation _bsiagnserl for the purpose of either raising or lowering wages . A foarth plan was brought forward by MM . Wolosvski and Valette , which is simply the insertion of the words' unjii 3 tly and _abusively , In article 415 , the effect of which would be at the same time to place masters and workmen oa an equality , and to dechre that cosa"hinitions , either by the _ons or the other , were not indictable _offences , _excepting ia certain cases where _injustice and abuse were proved . '
The d ? bate of Satnrday turned almost entirely on the plan proposed by M . Morin , by which the liberty and legality oi combination were procliimetl , and the only matter declared punishable was the use of threats and violence for the purpose of producing a rise or fall of wages . This plan was strongly supported by MM . Bastiat and Le _Bauve , aud opposed bv M . de Yatimesnil ; hut after a long discussion ihe proposition of M . Morin was rejected by a majority of 393 to 203 votes . Towards the termination of the sitting M . Valette spoke at
considerable length iu favour of the plan proposed by himself anil M . Wolowski , and after a short reply from hi . Haze the debate was adjourned till Monday , on the motion of M . Wolowski . The discussion will probably ha closed on Monday , and there is no doubt that tbe Assembly vvill reject the propo . sition of MM . Valette and Wolowski , as it has rejected all others which have for their object the total repeal of the combination laws . The fact is , that France is yet a hundred years behind England on that and raanv other questions .
Disturbed State of Algeria . —Letters from La Calle in Algeriaof the 3 d inst . state that the successful resistance of the insurgents at Zaalcha has encouraged several tr ; b-s of Arabs to commit acts of hostility against tite French settlers . M . "Riflent , the director of a society for cutting wood had been assassinated , and the men employed at the silver mines of Oumteboul been driven from their employment , and their inspector put to deaih . _Tne' _^ IonUeuT" contains a decree , signed by the President of the Republic , dismissing Pierre Bonaparte , who wa 3 lieutenant-colonel , in the African Foreign L * -gion , from the service , for having returned to France , when on mission , without the orders or premission of his superior .
SWITZERLAND . Letters from Zurich of the 13 th inst . In the 'Kolner Zeitung' state that fifty-three of the German refugees at Zurich have received orders to quit the territories of the Confederation . A _letier from _Lugano of the lash states that the elections of Federal Jurats in the canton of Lucerne bave terminated in the success of the Radical party . At Rotenburgh the Conservatives were successful . —[ It was natural that the Conservatives should triumph in Rut ( t ) en-hurgh . ]
ITALY . The « Riforma' of Lncea , of the Sth , has the following from Panna : — ' _Madame Teresa Zavaroni Ferrari , of Reggio , had come to Parma with her bn 3 band on private business . This lad y is very pretty , and as she wore a white beaver bonnet with a red riband , several persons followed her , upon which she was arrested by the police . An officer of the carabineers condemned her to receive tweaty _. rlea sttokes with a cane . Madame Tcrrari
appealed to Cdonel Mell , who is a townsman of hers , and pleaded that at Reggio such hats were permitted , and that they had no political signification . _Notwithstanding this , the gallant colonel showed aa intention of enforcing the sentence ; but she screamed and struggled so , that she was at last released , with an injunction to leave the town _instancy . Tns obnoxious hoiwet was confiscated . _^" ilf T o l ?* il 7 at h € r de P anwe ' _NA _. LSb , " Nov . 9—I presume it will be very
France. Paris. Satpssat.—It Is Evident F...
difficult for those who support King Ferdinand in ths British parliament and the British press to justify what is now going on in Naples . The most sincere _fii _: nd of despotism must regret a policy which leads to republicanism , whilst the lover of justice and honesty will shudder at the violation of every law of civilisation . Arrests continue . Some thirty paid agents of the government are employed denouncing everyone suspected of constitutional opinions . _TJpan the testimony of one of these deg raded scoundrels the ex-deputy Maya , who has printed his protest against any movement previous to the revolt of May 15 th , is under an order of
arrest as a revolutionist . Many others are m a similar _, position . Regaldi , tbe well-known poet , bas actually fallen into the hands of the police without any ' accusation whatever . The deputies Pocrio , Pica , Arossa _, Barbaraze , _Drajonetti , and Spaventa are victims of this system . Enough tbat they were supporters of the constitution , aud _( _aith ' ul to the King ' s oath . That is the real crime ; but the agents of re-action will identify them with tbe revolt of the 15 th of Mav . That the majority of
• _hj deputies refused to take the oaths which the articles of February imposed is perfectly irue , because the king himself abolished them by the decree of April ; and Ferdinand , profiting by this circumstance , _organised the revolt throug h the instrumentality of _^ Ruggiero and _Bozzelli , who were appointed ministers on the 16 th of May . The events of Europe have enabled the Camarilla to lake their revenge , and the best raen of the country are now the victims of a police which a demoralised country like Naples alone could produce .
Rome , Nov . 10 . —The _chauge in the French ministry appears to have dispelled every idea of the Pope s return , the timid camarilla at Poriica having _asain resolved _ratvsait and see the tnm of events in France before abandoning the hospitable shores ot Naples . Calandrelli , the skilful major of artillery , whose exertions in the defence of Rome was so destructive to the French , and who accepted the office of triumvir after the resignation of Mazzini , has been recently imprisoned , having obstinately refused to leave his native city . How long he may have to re .
rnaia in durance vile no one can say ; for the other prisoners , who , like Cernuschi , were arrested soon after the entry of the French , have spent four months already in prison , without being able to get judged or released . Cernuschi is generally considered to he the victim of a vindictive feeling oi _» the part of General Oiidinot _. on account of the severe language with which he reprimanded the general ' s prevarications and deceitful proclamations on disembarking at Civita Vccchia .
A pasquinade , lately composed , purports to represent the respective feelings of the Dalian , French , and Spanish soldiers in the late war , iu a suppositious conversation between three soldiers , one of each nation . « "We fought for liberty , " cries the Roman , * We marched , ' says the Spaniard , ' to get a little extra pay ; ' 'And we , ' roars the Frenchman , in Kmg Cambyses vein , ' pour _rAonnettr / ' ' In fact , ' snms up the Roman , ' we all sought to obtain that which we had not . '
GERMANY . Letters frem Munich bring the information that the Countess Batthyany , the widow of the murdered Count Louis , had arrived there accompanied by Count Paul Francis Zichy . They are about to proceed to the Bodensee . The Hanoverian Chamber has adopted a proposition for an amnesty towards all political and press offenders , by a large _majority . The ministry advocated a less extensive amnesty . A telegraph despatch from Berlin , dated the 18 th inst ., states tbat in the sitting of the Council , of Administration of tbe previous day the elections for the German Parliament were decreed to take p lace on the 31 st Januarv .
Erfurt has been definitively designated as the seat of the Parliament .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . A newspaper , conducted hy Count Festeties , and entitled' Morgen Post , * has been suppressed by the authorities . The war contribution imposed on the Jews of Pesth and Buda is not remitted , it seems , after a !) . After the order of General Haynau had been given out some days back that these uuhappy Israelites shoutd furnish within forty-eight hours the second
instalment of their fine , amounting to 200 , 000 florins , and twenty hostages were indicated , who would be held strictly responsible for the discharge of this obligation ; a second official announcement followed , retracting the first order , as founded oa a mistake , ' and substituting an amendment to the effect that of the total contribution imposed upon the Jews ol Hungary , which amounted to two millions aud a ?> alf of florins , not one penny would be _remittsd ; bnt tbat as it was ascertained that several Hebrew
communities , like that of Buda , were unable to pay their quota , the whole fine should be divided among the whole of the Hungarian Jews in common , with the exception of those of Presburg and Tomeswar . On the 9 th iust . the Jews of Pesth were called upon to pay between fifty and sixty thousand florins without delay in silver . In vain tha victims deprecated ths unreasonable aggravation of their lot by demanding metal , which could only be procured at an enormous agio , while the notes secured on the revenue of Hungary are obliged to he taken at all government cash-offices . Of course General Haynau was deaf to such arguments .
The * Pesther Z- _* itung brings a fresh batch of nine court-martial sentences , four to death by powder and lead , aud the remainder to various terms frora three to fifteen years of imprisonment , with hard labour in irons . The sentences to death were , iu conformity with the late government order seiu t > Peslh , not executed , and commoted to fifteen years of imprisonment , with hard labour in irons . The offenders so sentenced were three of them members of a tribunal under thc revolutionary governraent at Grosswardein . Another of the prisoners is Thomas Bruno , a Franciscan monk from Rome , aged fifty-two , who was convicted of having armed himself with a musket , and joined the insurgents at the rising of the landsturm at Stuhlwc-issenhurg .
A lady named Korosy , aged fifty-seven years , and mother of three children , has been tried by court-martial at Retteg , in Transylvania , for retaining in her possession two handsome fowling-pieces , that were left by her deceased husband six years ago , and condemned to _ihree weeks'imprisonment in irons , sharpeued by two days' fast in each week . Viekna , Nov . 14 . _—Kolossy _, who has just been apprehended at Pesth , for the part he took in the ' murder' of Count Lamberg , was examined by the police authorities for several hours on the 10 th . The prisoner is a Wallach of Transylvania . During six years he led a quiet obscure life in Pesth as a
private teacher , giving lessons by the hour . Afterwards he retired to Herraannstadt . When the placs of his concealment was discovered , "h y a love-letter signed with his name , and just a week before his arrest , he provided himself with a false passport under the name of Donat , and came to Pesth , where he presented himself , according to the rule , in the pol'ce-office . When arrested , he seemed , from his equipment , to be on tbe point of departure . During his examination he exhibited nerve and confidence . The remaining Hungarian officers , in numher thirty-six , who were confined in the New-building , were transported to Arad on the 11 th iust .
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . . ( From the' Morning Chronicle , ' ) Letters from Vienna of the 11 th inst have been received in London and at Paris , calculated to convey the supposition that a new complication had arisen in the extradition question between Russia and Turkey . We are enabled to state that this question may be regarded as completely settled ; all that the Emperor insists upon , and to which the Sultan is willing to comply , is the removal of the refugees into the interior of Asia Minor , or at all events from the frontier , as dangerous to the peace of both countries . There is no truth in the rumour that
Turkey intends abandoning her sovereignty over the Danubian principalities ; the rumour arose in the withdrawal of a portion of the Turkish troops under Omer Pacha , the reason for which was to quel ! an insurrectionary movement in Bulgaria ; By the arrival of the Levant mail we have received the Constantinople journals of the 4 th inst . The ' Journal de Constantinople' of that date says —* The news received yesterday by the steamer from Odessa , the Crimea , leaves no doubt of the
settlement of the difficulty with Russia . This steamer had on _biard Latif A ga , aide-de-camp of Omer Pacha , and who accompanied Fuad Effendi ou his mission to St . Petersburg ; and it also had on board a Russian cabinet courier . The former brought despatches ; of the Imperial ambassador for the Sublime Porte , the second despatches from the cabinet of St . Petersburg for M . Titoff . These despatchesannone ., pacific _^ _nteof the _queslum based on of 2 l 1 jTr 7 i _? eaty 0 f _Kutcbuk-Kainardji Sn 'S 11- 7 uchas _«* government of the _StHan had intended to maintain . The whole _dis-
France. Paris. Satpssat.—It Is Evident F...
sension arose from an error in the interpretation of the article cf the treaty ; and as the error has now been _recoanised , the refugees of Widdin , the principal of whom have been at Chonmla for some days past , will be simply sent into the interior . The pacific intentions of the court of Austria are already known , and its definitive reply , which bad lu be concerted with the court of Russia , cmnot be different from that of the cabinet of St . Petersburg . We may therefore , consider the affair as terminated , and diploma tic relations between the Porte and the legations of Austria and Russia as renewed . This solution , which satisfies all interests , will be received with joy by everybody .
Cons tantinople , Nov . 5 . —Latif Effendi , secre . tary to Fuad Effendi , the Turkish envoy at St . Petersburg , arrived here on the 3 rd inst . He was the bearer of despatches from Fuad Effendi to the Turkish government , giving the details of the audience granted by the Emperor Nicholas to the envoy of tbe Porte . Fuad Effendi expressed himself pleased with the reception given him by his imperial raa _> jesty , and augurs , from the amicable tone in which he was _auuttsssil \> y _vYie _Crav , that tho present difference between Turkey and Russia will be speedily setiled in a peaceable and satisfactory manner , Further than this , tbe long-pxpecied audience had no other result , and Fuad Effendi had nothing but surmises , seemingly , however well founded , to send to his government .
Notwithstanding the news from Russia , the British fleet has entered the Dardanelles . The notes of M . de Titoff and Count Stunner , alluded to above , and which are thc result of instructions _received by these ambassadors horn titer respective governments , at nearly the same time that Fuad Effendi ' s despatches arrived at the Porte , giving an aceount of his friendly reception by the Caar , have greatly irritated the Turkish government . The grand council have met to consider these fresh demands of the Russian and Austrian cabinets , and it is understood that the notes of M . de Titcff and Count Sturmer bave been met by a refusal . This question , therefore , continues to be complicated _, und the presence of the British fleet in the Dardanelles has offered a new and very serious
difficulty to its speedy arrangement . General Aupick has instituted a subscription for the relief of the Hungarian and Polish refugees in Turkey . Sir Stratford Canning has joined in this good work , and a committee has been formed under the auspices of both ambassadors ( or its furtherance . The Porte have g iven their authority to th ' i 3 charitable proceeding , and it is even said that the Sultan has subscribed a large sum .
The Russians , in their late negotiations with the Circassians for peace , have offered such terms a » prove their great anxiety to have at disposal the troops engaged in the endless Caucasian campaigns . It is said that they consent to restore all the iortresses except Suknm Raleh and Anapa , and to acknowledge the independence of the Circassians if ihey will only grant the raisiug of recruits for the Russian army in thtir territory , and acknowledge
the Russian protectorate . Thc Circassians re jected these conditions , and sent deputies to the Turkish government to ask _jounsel and negotiate a strict alliance / These deputies are the Sultan Gueray , the three brothers Tury Oglou , and an envoy from Schamyl . The latter states that _emissaries of Schamyl are scouring Crim Tartary in every direction to pick up adherents , and prepare the Tartars to join them in prosecuting hostilities against the Russians .
EGYPT . A letter from Cairo , in the ' Journal de Constantinople , ' of the 29 th ult ., states that per / eet tranquillity continued to prevail in all parts of E gyp t . The annual overflow of the Nile had taken place , whereby the fertility of the land in the ensuing year is rendered certain . GREECE . It is stated in a letter from Athens , addressed to one of the Constantinople journals , that the _Russian government had sent a strongly-worded and even threatening note to that of Greece * complaining of the reception given to political refugees .
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . ARRIVAL OF THE CONVICTS . We have received advices from the Cape down to the 21 st ol September , from which we learn that the Neptune had arrived at Simon ' s Bay with 282 con . victs on board . The following account of her arrival is extracted from the Cape ot Good Hope' Shipping and Mercantile Gazette' : — ' The Neptune ( which left Bermuda on April the 22 nd , and _Purnambuco on August 11 th , ) arrived in Simon ' s Bay about 6 p . m . on Wednesday last , with 282 convicts on board , seven having died at sea . At nine her arrival was known in Cape Town , and
at half past twelve the same night the members ot thc Anti-Convict Committee of Vigilance proceeded to Simon ' s Bay , to take such immediate precautions as the case mig ht require . Early the next morning the alarm was given by the sounding ofthe gong at the Town-hall , and the tolling of bells in the _churchrs . Though great excitement prevailed , the general feeling was evidently one of relief and satisfaction . No difference of opinion appeared to exist as to the necessity of employing instant and decisive measures to put an end to the suspense and anxiety which have now prevailed for nearly three months , and have been—as was justly remarked bv
a member of the association— 'disorganising . everything , government , society , and business of every kind . ' About _elevmi o ' clock a letter was sent to his Excellency hy the Municipal Board of Cape Town , stating in plain . terms , that as ' the people bave determined that the convicts must not , can not , and shall not be landed , or be kept in any of the ports of this colony , ' the board trusted his Excellency , in accordance with Im often expressed deshe to promote the well being of the colonists , would order the "Neptune , after victualling , to leave our shores , and declaring that his Excellency would be responsible for any consequences that might ensue ( rota his refusal to _ancede to this requesv . At halfpast twelve a reply was received , informing the
hoard that his Excellency would adhere to the determination which he bad previously announced , not to relieve the surgeon-superintendent . The ship would , therefore , ride at anchor in Simon ' s Bay until advices were received from the Home government , which would probably be within a month or six weeks . His Excellency concluded by regretting the tone of the board ' s letter , which the prevailing excitement might excuse but could not justify . The reading of the letter was followed hy groans and other expressions of disapprobation . No further proceedings were immediately taken , as it was considered advisable to wait for tbe report of the committee at Simon ' s Bay . The excitement throughout the town continued to increase . Manv mercantile
establishments «* ere closed and business was generally suspended . The perfect union aud fixed determination which exist leave no doubt that the peaceful and legal measures which will be adopted will be crowned with complete success . '
INDIA . The news hy the overland mail is of secondary importance . The deplorable condition of Indian finance wa 3 the engrossing topic o ? conversation at Bombay . ' For the last ten years , ' remarks the ' Bombay Times , " ' we have been spending continually from _three-fourths of a million to two millions and a half beyond our means . We have extinguished since 1838 a balance of nearly ten millions , converted a surplus of frora half t o a whole million into a deficit of double the amount , and got rid of an addition since made to our revenue of nearly two millions per annum . ' This gross extrava'
gance is imputed by the Bombay Times' to the warlike policy of the Home government . The Governor-General of India , had been for some time indisposed , and not having experienced much benefit from his trip to the mountains , proposed visiting Bombay about the beginning of next year , with the view of taking a _sea-voyage , if _necessarv . His retirement at the present moment would be a source of general regret in India . Sir H . Pottinger and Lord Falkland were at their respective seats of government . From the interior there is barely a line of intelligence . The Sirdars Chuttur and Shere Singh , with several others , had been seized and
imprisoned at Lahore , on suspicion of foul play towards the English government . The accounts of the crops from all parts of the Peninsula were fa vourabie , and at Bombay the cholera was abating . The affairs of _Oude weie greatly disorganised , and it was thought tbat the En _glish government would assume the entire management of the country , in conformity with the treaty to that effect , paying the surplus revenue into the treasury of the King , who was to he allowed no interference . In the Deccan the Nizam ' s affairs were not progressing at all satisfactoril y . His debt to the British government remained unpaid , and no attempt was made to pay it . CHINA . All was yery quiet at Cautoa , la fact , the _onlj

The barbarons murder _itte Governor of Macao had not been followed by a „ v sets of violence against the Portugese _settlrnent and all remains quiet .

To this the Portugese would Z _™ a « ee _. as the evidence to be given by these men was considered to be of importance .
CANADA . 0 ur Montreal dates are to the 3 rd of November . The Canadian ministers have taken up their around strongly and unequivocally against _annexa-S » acting as well as speaking . All holders of office under it who have declared themselves annexa _ionists are being displaced . Messrs . Rone and Johnson , members of the Lower Canada bar and Qiee «' " co ., nsel , have been deprived of their silk _eowns A circular has been addressed by the adjutant- "eneral of militia to all officers ( if any ) who lnv 3 ° signed the annexation address and to state whether thev signed it of their own free will , or under intimidation . The provincial secretary has instituted a similar inquiry respecting justices of the '
P _^ ce . _ ,, _, _,,. The Governor . General has come to an open collision with Mr . Gowan , Past Grand Master of the Orange Association in Canada , and the real head of the order alike when in and when out of office . Lord _Efein has erased Mr . Gowan ' s name from the li . it oi justices of the peace , and has dismissed him from ihe militia in which he was a lieutenant-colonel . The reason for this step is understood to have heen Mr . Gowan ' s participation in the _Brookville meeting , at which among other outrages Lord Elgin was burned in Effigy . ....
M . Pap ineau has come out as an annexationist . M . Papineau , however seems to stand pretty much alone in Canada . The French are at present di . videil into two parties ; the men of the old school headed by the Seigneurs End the Roman Catholic clergy ; ' Young Canada , ' of which the most active members are young barristers . M . Papineau is said to belong to the latter , but 150 of ' Young Canada ' signed the Montreal anti-annexation address . The clergy and the Seigneurs are decidedly opposed to
_annexation .,,. ; , , There are increasing rumours of a dissolution ot the House of Assembly . If they should prove irue it is expected the elections will turn upon annexation ' and'British connexion . ' The coolness with which the Americans have received the news of the annexation movement has thrown cold water upon it . UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . New York , Nov . 6 th . —The arrival of the steamer with the astounding news of a large advance in the price of cotton has had a very curious effect on the public mind . To the public it was quite unexpected
for we believe here that prices never suddenly advance in _England on American produce without a panic or a sudden necessity . We suppose tbat all the cotton we had to sell might have been obtained at former rates , if the Eng lish dealers had acted in concert . A single paragraph in one of yonr leading journals , stating that there was a fair supply of cotton , or that some of your mills had stooped work , would have knocked thc article down some fractions of a _psnny . We now suppose that the knowledge of - - » ii
the state of our crops led to a fear of an unusually short supply , and that this induced the strongest buyers to obtain what they required without delay . I have taken some pains to-day to ascertain the condition of the present crop . It is very poor , and sadly deficient in quantity . Tbe ravages of the worm have been dreadful ; and I am now prepared to say that cotton must advance in your markets , even on the present rates . Nor is this all . We imagine that we shall have again to furnish a large amount of provisions for tbe Irish during the approaching
_winter , Among the other events of the day , is the rapid growth of cotton manufactories in the southern states . South Carolina is particularly turning her attention to the business , and this emulation of hers is akin to the political feeling of independence her people cherish with so ranch ardour . They are so opposed to the north in many pnrt ' _culars _, that if possible they would raise everything at home which they eonsume at home , and they are determined t ' _mt if the northern states continue to assail slavery they shall no longer clothe their slaves ; at which the friends of American industry set up a broad grin , and _inquire if South Carolina intends to become a tariff state !
An interesting attempt is now making in South Carolina by a gentleman , formerly well known in London ( Junius Smith , ) to cultivate the tea plant . He selected a place where the temperature was mild and equable , and has found his p lants uncommonly promising . The black and green are now in full blossom , anil in a few weeks he expects to make his first crop . He is perfectly sanguine of success , and of making the Southern Stales profitable competitors in the tea marts with China itself . He has also succeeded in producing the almond . An important discovery bas been made in the State of Missouri , which is hailed with much satisfaction . It is found that rice may he cultivated there with perfect success . This will be a material addition to the value of her staples .
Miss Bremer has been the ohject ol much curiosity here . But the public enthusiasm has received a damper in the discovery that she is pretty well advanced in years , and is anything hut handsome . At Vera Cruz , a fatal disorder had broken out , called the bobo , which was more dreaded than the cholera . Mexico on the whole doe 3 not appear to be in a prosperous state . Its transitions are those of one exigency succeeding another , rather than the advances of a strong and clear political sagacitv .
Certainly its mUlcnium is very far off . Private accounts justify these sentiments , They assure us that there is no longer any security for life or property in Mexico , that assassinations and robberies are frequent in broad day light . A hot war is carried on between ' 11 Siglio , ' and ' El Monitor' on the subject of Santa Anna ' s return , while we are assured that the feeling of a \\ classes except these who are in the enjoyment of power , is in favour of annexation to tho United States . Since the departure of the American troops , there has been no tranquillity ,
CALIFORNIA The Pandora just arrived at Portsmouth , has brought home an immense variety of specimens ol natural history for various museums , among them are two mammoth tusks , weighing nearly three hundred _weight each , and obtained on the north west coast of America . Also , about £ ] 5 , 000 in gold from California , which was conveyed to the Bank of England . The ' _diggins' at California induced one man and a boy to run from the Pandora and it seems that the' man , J . Coombs , had been very success ' ul as he was speedily in command , and owner of a very fine schooner , in addition to two similar vessels he had purchased ,
PITCAIRN'S ISLAND , PACIFIC OCEAN . Letters from this colony have been brought by the Pandora , which contains some interesting details relative to the island , and the descendants of the unfortunate men connected with the mutiny of the Bounty , and from wbich we make the following extracts . ' Pitcairn ' _a Island , July , 1849—The number of inhabitants U 9 — males seventy . five , females ,
seventy-four—of this number three are English , one a Tahitian woman , widow oi Edward Young , midshipman of the Bounty , aged 80 , two men of the first generation , one of them a son of John Adams ( Bounty ) named Arthur and tbe other a son of Matthew Quintal ( Bounty ) named George , seven females of the first generation , three daughters of Adams , one of Christian , one of Young , one of Mills , one of M'Coy , the remainder are children Of Ihe second and third generation .
' During the last five years one-fifth of the popu- . lation have heen horn , and only one has died a natural death , one of lock-jaw , and a child burned to death . The inhabitants are occupied chiefly in cultivating the ground and _carpentering ; several of the young men are good at cabinet _WOrfS , and flS blacksmiths . There are eight marriageable males and seven females at present unmarried . The soil is very rich but porous ; a great proportion decomposed lava , the other a rich black earth and clayey ground . The climate is temperate ; thermomelor from fifty

The spring comraeuces in August , which is harvest time , and yams and potatoes are dug , which w the principal food _; and of potatoes-there are two crops per year , which ave Planted n February and Jul y and dug _^ J ne and November . There are no regular trade winds _™ _fTpT mn ?* the T ? ind P _^ vails mostly from E . S . E . to north . Northerly winds are gene-

rall y light , often accompanied with rain or fog ; when the wind is- N . it invariably goes round to the westward , from which quarter and S . E . the strongest gales prevail . With the winds from S . \ i itis generally _clcar . weather , with moderate breezes . In winter prevailing winds are S . W . to E S . E . The animal and vegetable productions of the island : goats , hogs , and poultry , yams , sweet and Irish potatoes , the api-root and tarro in small quan tities . ... _»__ .
Plaintains : pines , melons , oranges , bread fruit ) su ? ar-eanes ; limes , and the vi , or Brazilian plum . The only grain is maize . The food of the inhabitants is chiefly yams aud potatoes ; animal food two or three times a week . Fish are getting scarce ; Bed-clothes are generally manufactured by the females , from the ante , or paper mulberry . Wearing apparel is obtained from the whale ships , in exchange for vegetables , & e . Cotton cloth is much wanted . Blankets and woollen articles , and soap ,
very scarce . The . average number of ships touching at the island annually is eight or nine , mostly Americans , and they always behave well . Last year there were seven ships , ten less than iu 184 ? j the kit vessel that touched there was an English brig , from New Zealand , bound to California with emigrants there being eight English women amongst them . 1 the 1 st day ot each year a chief _magis'ra ' e and councillor are elected , all persons ( male and female ) over sixteen years of age are voters . The chief magistrate then chooses his counsellor or secretary . The duty of the magistrate is to convene
meetings and hear cases ; it is then left to a jury of five persons , and if the decision is not satisfactory to both parties , they are allowed to appeal to the commander of her Majesty ' s ships of war , punishmenfs are generally fines or labour . The inhabitants generally retire to rest early , and rise with the sun . From August to November they have plenty of employment , digging yams , also p lanting bananas , yams , and potatoes , weeding ground & c , and when not busily employed they generally meet in the morning , and if the weather is favourable go fishing ; if not on Saturdays , they go out hunting for a Sunday's dinner . On the arrival of a ship oft * the island no
one is allowed to go on board before tbe pilot , who always takes charge of the boats when landing , and provides for the captain when on shore , each family in rotation furnishing a pilot , or providing a substitute , who always expects a small remuneration for his services . The females generally assist in the cultivation of the ground , preparing thatch for the houses , & c , and , in fact , are more employed than the males : they are generally very strong , many of them being able to carry a barrel of potatoes down to the landing place , the path to which is very
rugged and steep , and in the rainy season very difficult to ascend or descend . Since 1831 there have heen 16 deaths : 4 of them accidentally , 4 of fever , 1 a _disease of the ear , 1 of the heart , 1 of cancer , 1 of consumption , 2 of influenza , 1 in childbirth , and I in infancy . The diseases most prevalent are asthma and catarrh , which prevail mostly among the females ; bilious attacks are frequent but slig ht , and easily give way to treatment . Influenza had visited the island during the last seven years , and caused 2 deaths . '
