Supplementary beneheg 0 » slio put up within the gardens , access to which ^ d only ba had by procuring tickets from the Prefa ef Police , who , as mual , was grand master of £ > earen » nieB for the day . The Place itself was jjd on all tides withj regular , troops . Poles had

      gs eretted all round , from the tops of whkh jr £ im « d scares of tricoloared oriaammes , whilst on ) 3 pedestalswere placed escutcheons bearing the jas of different departments of France , eurjolted with tncolonred flags , grouped ttatefully gaari , the whole connected by garknda of artifitial [ jwra and everweni . Had the weatker been more jjpitlDUS the tfiiiBt certainly would hare been brilitnt . As it was , a sold gray sky and heavy snow sirred , sot only the appearance of the thine , but toped * to a certain extent the spirit of the people . t curioos to hear the e"iffn * nt coaments made 0 the proceedings of the day . Some complained of he expenditure , and with bitter smiles recounted je fcetory of their personal miseries , contrasting

      ie grandeur of the preparations with the reality of ja mtional poritka . Others , again , were mplojed a ij « ulat'nf m the probable duration of the new # a of thing * ud jokingl y referring to the aany seaoajea of the land th « y had witnessed in their lay . All were iQofcfog yaiilj for i break in the awfoandnot afewauguring b » dly of the avmir of feConsUtobon . uihertd m as it was by such dismal jailer . At length the camon of the Invalids en ounced totka frozen spectators thatthe National isembly had left va ptlaee , and was proceeding jHC » th 8 bnd |« tothe place appointed for its relation . Accorfiigly , the members msde their apxjtanca in proesesion , preceded by the Chief of the Earaara Power , boa Ministers and staff , and slowly ndei their way to the tented seats prepared for

      All the members of the Chamber wore trioolonred ir « a and ribbons in their button holes . Amongst auras a wgro deputy from Martini que . When lSe gentlemen were all seated , a movement was gerved at the entaraee of the Rue Nationate ( ei waiRojde ) . This was caused by the procession the clergy from the Madeleine , to the number of as ist five hondred ( all black : robes inclided ) . the war irg brought np by the Archbishop of Paris in full inonicals , accompanied by fire or six bishops , also [ fell crstame , with mitre on head and erosier ia iid . This srotwsion excited rather a critical feel-» unoog the working sen , who gave way to all kind gMd-natUKd railkry against the poor cures ,

      critisag their esttame , their aotwns , their numbers , Ek of march , and everything . Therewas abundant ETitece _ th » t the people owed little or nothing for Ikrdigiona portioa * f tke programme , nor for those * b « re to perform in it . The procession approached fisdapel chanting pealms , and was received by the Miiisten , and presetted to the President of the femcil . who proceeded to read the CenBtiluBon to ( si-sembled thowandf ; the troops presented arcs , aims rolling , artillery thusdering , and people ihouf-Ef'Yivela Rspublique / « Vive la Constitution .

General Cordon had ben appointed Governor of the cty . The same paper bas the following accounts , dated Vienna , the 3 tld insr .: — « General Bern and the Commandant of the city , M . Messenhauser , have hithtrto escaped arrest . Of the immense nuaber of prisoners some thousands will within a short time take part aa soldiers in the campaign againBt the Hungarians . This will prabably be tke lot of all the members of the Academical Leuonwho have taken a prominent part in the rebellion . The etmmunicaturn with the suburbs is vary mueh hindered , only r-roviuons ara allowed to pass without any difficulty . '

      BBIOX OF TBBKOR . VlESKA , NflT . S . —The spirits of tho Viennese , of all parties , are quite cast down . The soldiers eccupy all the streets and publio places . The Croats have pillaged the faubourgs . It is not true , as asserted , that the people set fire to the Imperial Castle ( Burg ) , and Windischgratz was wrong in Bayin ? so in his dispateh . It was merely a pretext to sake arrests . Lists of proscription are being circulated , in which appear sosse Radical journalists and offiotn of the Academic Lesion . Several , it is said , are already arrested , m&olhtrs have killed thtmelvet in despair . The system of espionage is extensively carried ox . No one can leave the town , the deputies even being refused passports .

      Yeaterday Jellachioh made a triumphant procession through the city , at the head of his' Red Mantles . ' The appearance of these soldiers in their chequered uniform caused a very disagreeable im > preuitn . Nothing certain is yet known as to the number of killed on the Bide of the Viennese . It is said to amount to as many as 1 , 500 . Tke army has alse lost s great number of soldiers , and many officers , bat it is forbidden to the officers to disclose the

      amount . The Common Council issued a proclamation on the 4 th , notifying the fact that Windncbgrate had made tbe restoration of ths free i&terconne be * tween the city and tbe suburbs dependent on the apprehension of the following fire proscribed individoaK Pclskv , Bern , Mesaenbauser , Feoneberg , and Setii to- The council accordingly enjo > ns those who may be harbouring those persons to deliver themnp within six kours , under piin of being brought before a oourt mattial .

      A c&rrespondent of the Eolnhche Zmuso , in a letter dated Vienna , the 4 th instant , gives a very gloomy account of the present state of the eity . According to his statement , a very sombre despair , baffling description , pervaded the minds of the inhabitants of Vienna . A ( treat many atrocities had been oammitted by tbe Croats , and a good deal of plundering bad taken place . The number of houses burnt down in the Leopoldstadt alone , during the siege , was fifty-nine . According to a letter in the Eoibiscbk Zbitukb of the 6 th , arrests were csntinually going on . It was reported as an undoubted fact , that a great number

      ot Btudents had been incorporated with the military , and even in the very lowest ranks . Professor Filter , one of the members of the Austrian Diet , a favourite of the suburbs and the idol of the Academical Legion , was said to have been arrested . The dead list in tha general hospital gives the number of killed on the part of the Viennese as 413 . Tha troops had snffered atuoh more , even according to the testimony of their officers , and it was believed that their loss amounted to several thousand killed . Toe number of wounded was also very great . Ths army concentrated round Vienna was egtimated , according to reoent reports , which an given as good authority , at 106 . 000 men .

      The Spirkrschi Zhtbkg states , under date of Vienna , the 4 th inst .: — ' To-day , early in the morning , the deputies of the Frankfert Left . Robert Blim and Frebel , who continued to preach insurrection as late as the day Before ytsterday , were arrested in the London Hotel , and taken to the headquarters at Scboabrunn . The Chief of the Auia , Professor Foster , who at the dissolution of the Auia exclaimed that tha return of the dynasty to Vienna ought new to be allowed , General Bern , the Chiefs of the National Guard , Meesenbauer and Fenneberg , were also axte * iti .

It appears that a great many students and workmen have been discovered in their hiding places , and confined in large buildings , where they are strietly guarded , and where the in . censed soldiers treat them with great brutality .

      5 PFSCT 3 OP XHK LATE B 0 MBAHDMENT . A correspondent of the Daily News , writing on the 8 th , saya : — ' This day I have visited the prineipal soenei of the eomflict . Turning down the noble Prater Strassa ( in the Leopoldatadt ) I found that every house prfaented tke tame marks with the dwellings in the Tabor Strasse . Even the Turkish embassy bad not escaped , the windowa in tha upper story boingdsstoyed , aid the lower part of the mansion beariBg marks here and there of ball cartridge . The Carls Theatre was only slightly injured . Some eight or ten barricades were erected ia the above stnet . As I proceeded further down , the houses on each aide were more seriously injured , many-having thair

      fronts completely shattered , or their loofs completely de&taojed . But it is towards the end of the Btreea ) , on the 'Prater' side , that the greatest destruction of property occurred . At that point several noble houses—which must have been tenanted by wealthy individuals—are gatted throughout , only the bara walls having been left standing , Right and left of that end of the Prater houBes , and all np the Jagerzail ( abroad street to the right of Prater Strasse ) some seven or eight houses have shared the sane fate , being burnt almost to the ground . Tawwds the bridga end of the Jageresil , and oppwite three houws which were consumed by fire , stand the bare walls of the immense sugar faotory of Zinder and Co . ; and to the left of the Jasarzail ( on the

      socalled Schuttel , opposite a branch of the Danube ) , the sill smoking ruins of another large sugar factory ( that of Maok aad Co . ) . Both wera set fire to by the Croatian troops , who also destroyed by fire the wellknawn ' tea-gaidens / the « Bathhouse . ' and faur spleadid newly-built houses . The loss of property in this qaarter mutt ba frightful . In the Bathhouse tke Croatians ( who are called' the red cloaks ') killed tha landlord , and landlady , and two or three otker persons . Passing over the Franzeosbruck ( suspension bridge ) , which is uniDJnred ibut which was bariieaded at both eadg ) , I came opposite the Gaad Shapkerd ' Ian , whare Windischgratzpaswdanight during the oontest . Ita roof had received eonuoh damage it is found necessary to remove italtozather .

      A portion of tha building was ak > set on fire . It should have beau stated that the large steam-mills belaw the sufar faotory of Maok and Co . trtand uninjured ; the report that they also had been destroyed being interred . Several iwuna in the Hauptstrasse , in wb / rob the * Good Skapherd' is situated , are muoh injure * by shot * , aid in one large establishment ( a slaughter-hot . *) , both artillery and fire have cammitted sad havoc . The commercial depot to the lett of the Haupfetrassa is uninjured . We new enter the city proper through the'Red To * er' gate , behind which a barricade was erected The ramparts near that , gate are defaoed in many parts , and the houses iojihe beginning of the Rothenthurm Strtsst and up av portion of the fish market

      areriddled with shot . * From the gate end of tke Rotheithurm Strassa to'Hhe palaoe , there are very few marks of any contea ^; at that vast edifioe , however ( the Hofbarg ) , tkere-iaremany signsof the work of destruction . Tne roof of the rova \ lib-ary ia de-Btroyed by fire , and the molten lead is lying on the square beneath . That portion of the palace whieh is devoted to the cabinat of natural history is also much injured . All the contents of those two parti of the palace are quite safe . In other parts of the palaoe only a few windows have been destroyed , axcepi in the facade opposite the Burgthor ( palaoo gate ) , which is much defaced by the cannea shot which was fired from the royal stables on the insurgents . Tbe gate itself—a beautiful work of artpraeants a sad spectacle , being battered in nume . rout places externally and internally . Ono of ita

      strong wooden gates is entirely smashed in . All fte gates are strongly guarded . Troops are bivouacking in aU the squares , aid carry on their cooking in public , all eating , too , out of the same soup and meat kettle . In the city proper , also , the Carnthneretrasse , in tbat part whioh is opposite the gate of that name ( the Carintbian gate ) bears many marks of the combat ; as likewise does the street leading from that gate to the Augustinian church , the root and tower of whioh are much injured . According to a communication in the Mobnins Hbbald , Dr Schutte is under the protection of the American Envoy , who has 03 nfided to him some pretended employment in the legation . The two principal agitatora of the committee of students have claimed the troteotitn of the French envoy , who has eiv « u the » ihe situation of couriers .

      A letter from Olmntz . of tbe 8 th instant , inform s us that the Austrian General Simonich , who had entered into Hungary from Galicia , had been beatwi by the Magyars , and retired into the Marchfeld st Goding , a village not far from Vienna , Simoaich , lost two cannon and several' men . According to the Brkjuu GmiTE , Puhky has been taken pruoner , as he was about to p » is the frontier into Hungary . The news is confirmed tkat the Austrian General Philippovich has been shot at Pestta .

      HORRIBLE MURDER OF BLUM AND MESSENHAUSER ! Tidings from Vienna cane , as might be expected , fraught with atrocity and bloodshed . Not only has Mes&tnhauser , ttie brave commander of the National Guard of Vienna , been Bhot , but Robert Blum , member of the central Diet for the cit y of Leipzig , has been alea shot by Winduchgrata . Blum and his colleague , Frcebel , went with an address to the Diet of Vienna ; there ia no proof of their having joined in the resistance of the Viennese farther than their having been found lodged in one of its hotels . But their sacred character as membna of tha eenVral Diet cannot be denied ; and the shooting Blum ia an act of soldiery defianee to all constituent and

      representative assemblies that will make a deep impression upon Germany . Blum was a man of first rate talent , and , for popular eloquence , was unrivalled . So Btrongly was his merit felt , that he was almost unanimously elected deputy by his fellow citizens of Leipsig . although a great majority of them did not approve of his extreme opinions . The act of Windischgratz seals the fate of the Archduke John , as head of the central government , and cannot but cause an exp losion against his weak and puerile ministry . It brings , indeed , the great question of German unity and of any central power at once to a clone or a solution . It must fling all the wavering and moderate into the ranks of the movement .

      The effects of the murder of the two deputies are likely to be even more serious in Berlin , than in Frankfort . The Prussian deputies will then see what they may expect from the uncontrolled freedom of military power . And although the Prussian monarch ia not the idiot which reips over Austria , and although Prussian generals and soldiers are not altogether brutes , like Windiscbgratz and the Croats , still the horror of military rule and its mockery of justiee , as exemplified in the case of Blum , cannot but be felt , and with the keenest sensibility , from Konigsberg to Cologne . The captain who . on the 6 th of Ootober . kept guard in the war office , waB to ba tried by eourt martial , because he had not protected Gaunt Latour with his men , but gave him up to the fury of &b ex > asperated mob .

      BOMBARDMENT OF LEMBERG . We learn from the Chacow Jodbnal that the town of Lemberg ( Galicia ) has been bombarded for three hours , during whiok the Hotel de Villa , Craeow Street , and the University , became a heap of rains . Tbe cause of the bombardment originated in a quarrel between the students and a soldier , whs was wounded . The city has capitulated .

The reply of the Commandw of the Burgher Guard , whioh was thon read , stated that the Burgher Guafrd declined obeying thi 3 summons , as it ootaidered tke rwnoval of the National Aesanbly from Berlin as a maasura caltulatod to endanger the rights and liberties of Ihe people , which it held itself bound to luard and u tttect .

Towards the afternuon the Iroepa entered tho oity ; 15 . 000 men—infastry and artillwywith" ammunition , were brought in . The Burgher Guard has since i « su « d a proqlamtion , in which it iff stated that it had resolved , in accordance witk the Natianal Assanbly , not to pravoke a collision with the troopB , and that it antveated all wkoware disposed to maintain peace and oriar ta unite their eff * te for the prevention of serious disturbance * .

Such a state of thugt , cannot Baya the proclamation , ba allowed to oentinua : and . consequentl y , it is thereby declared that the Civic Guard of Berlin it dissolved :

      Meantiae the state of affairs in Berlin ia becoming more and more actions . On the 1 U& tne Assembly met at the Sthatzsn-houae , and reaumed adjourned sittings there . 'After receiving an address of the students and others from the provinces , the President was about ta adjourn the Assembly until Monday , when two or three motions , declared to bo urgent , were made , and forthwith dismissed and carried . The first was to the affect that a commission of sixteen shoald be appointed to draw np a full explanation of an that ocourred , in the form of a report , and that this report should ba published for the information of tbe whole nation ; the second was the nomination of a commission of eight , to consider and report upon theexpeditnoy of impeaching the ministers as traitors to tie oountry ; and , in the event of the Crown persisting in its resolution , of also eoniiidwitg the

      ex' > editncy of refusing supplies . Both these motions were passed unanimously . In conwquonoe also of tha fact being known that the decree above men * timed , dissolving the Burgher Guard , was about t « appear in the ffficial pater of the next day ( published onthenifht of the 11 th ) , a motion was made and carried declaring that those who advised these measures were traitors to the country ; that the Burgher Guard should be forbidden , on pain ef being themselves declared traitorB , to surrender their arms , and they skould ba ordered and directed to defend themselves to the last drop against all attempts to disarm them—a defence to ba sanctioned by a vote and de * orea of the Assembly .

      nst » THE LAND COMPANY'S LECTURERS . TO THE EDITOB OF THE lfOKMBBN STAB , Sib , —In the repirt of the General Conference of the National Land Company held at Birmingham , whioh appeared in the Star of Saturday last , there appear some observations in relertnoe to the leohirwa of the Land Company , to which I deem it my duty to make tho fallowing brief reply : — ' Mr Hyatt wished to know wby the leoturtrshad b . en withdrawn . 1 Mr O'Connor aa ' . d , thai complaints had been heard with regard to somo ef these lechirsrt , snd as they to . tailed some expense upen the Company , they were withdrawn , ' Mr Kydd said , that he was one of the leoturon , and as oomplaints had been tnaie of some of thtrn , ho wished , as a matter of justice U himself , to know if he nas ons of tb m .

      ' Mr O ' Connor said , that a more active tnd intelligent individual— whether co&iidered la reference to the Chartist or Land movement—than Mr Kydd did not exist . His ehttf aoter waB unimpeachable—no man had evcroonducted himself nure creditably , or discharged his duties more faithfully . ' Now , sir , there were bul three lecturers appointed for tbe Laud Company , Mr Kydd , Dr M'Douall , and myself being the persons . If such charges as Mr O'Connor alludes to havobecn made , Mr Kydd is entirely exon » rak » d , and thtra ar « fcut Dr ll'Dou&U and mjs » U to appear as

      the guilt ; pnti « B . Dr M D , uall ia in prison nnd casnot answor for bimtelf , but I am not as y «»; I therefore answer to these g « neral charges : that I am not comolous of having at any time , in all the places that I have visited , glvtn any gioond for oaute ot complaints ; that I have neicr once ksard from tht Directors that ever a » y complaint was made againBt me ; bat , on tht contrary , I have seen litters from various districts , bearing tasttmony to my oondutt while I held the very responBlblo situation ; and this the Directors oan twtify if they think proper , ot coatradtet if thfcy can do ao .

      But I think Mr O'Connor must hay * Wn aUlnbrmtd at to the cause of the dismissal of tbe lecturer *; and I am only surprised that Mr Clark or Mr K ; da did not set tbe matter right , because the one wio ' e , ant the other received , a copy of the latter annountlng our ismisBal ; and whioh , had its true grounds been staled , would have saved mo tbe trouble of nritin ; this Utter , and pmtnted the public from inferring that I was discharged for a breach of puVlio duty .

      Proposed nbw Couwnr Pkisow . — At the Marylebone vestry on Saturday , Mr Haikes having been called to the chair , and the parochial receipts and disbursements for thet week having been read and approved of , Mr Williams ( late M . P . for Cov entry ) begged to be informed by the .. sounty magis trates present whether there wa * any truth in the report that it was intended to erect a new county prison , at an enormous expense , Iw the purpose of enabling tbe authorities to carry out their newfangled separation system ? It was said that CoWbath-fieia f prisen was to be thrown down , and that a new prison would be erected . —Sir Peter Laurie said that it

      was true that snch a proposal was contemplated , which , if carried into execution , would entail upon the rate-payers the expenditure of jS 150 , 000 ., and if the Pentonville system were adopted in the new prison it would increase the annual expend ture £ 15 , 000 ., while the county was indebted £ 300 , 000 ., and . the county rates amounted annually to £ 70 . 000 ., which twenty years ago only figured £ 40 , 000 . But he was happy to state that ; he pro » position to erect the new prison was defeated ; bufc Messrs Rotchand Rose , tbe magistrates who brought it forward , were not to be baffled , „ and therefore declared that they would petition government in its favour . In order to attach popularity to it , the parties desirous for its success spread a report that

      government was favourable to the new building aad the separate system . That he emphatically denied , as veil as the report that it was intended to build barracks on the site of the present prison . He inquired at the Horse Guards- respecting the latter report , and vta 3 informed that there was not the slightest ground for it . He was astonished at any - poor person applying for workhouse relief , when , by commiiiing crime , he coulfr obtain good living in Coldbath Fields , and the best in Pentonville , where the support of each criminal cests £ 35 ., and where he has . a room to himself neatly fitted-u ;) , and suplied with the luxury of hot and cold water . Sir

      P . Laurie condemned the separate system ,, ridiculed the idea of converting , in this aountry . felons into saiuts , and hoped tkat all the metropolitan parishes would unite in opposing the project of erecting a new county prison—Mr Elliot , deputy-lieutenant of the county , assured the board that the ratepayers need not be apprehensive , for no-new prison would be built . But , at thesame time ,. he expressed himself favourable to the prisoners sleeping in separate apartments . —Mr Williams moved the appointment of a committee to inquire into the amount of the county rate , and the mode of its expenditure . —The motion was carried , and a committee appointed .

      The BisHor of London has issued a . pastoral letter to the clergy of his diocese , calling upon them , to do their utmost in their various localities , to remove the ascertained causes or th 3 extension of cholera . ' A line of duty , ' he observes , ' in which the clergy may render themselves eminently useful , and which is surely in close correspondence with the nature of their office : for if to visit a sick parish- , ioner and to minister to his recovery be one of their plainest duties , it is a still more blessed work of charity to rescue , under the blessing of God , whole masses of their poorer brethren from the inroads of ; disease . Intemperance and filtbiness , ' says his lordship , ' are too frequentl y the result of want , and

      unless something be tlone for the relief of extreme indigence , it will be an empty raocktry to tell those who are borne down and crushed by its weight , that they would be less miserable if they were less filthy . His lordship , in conclusion , dwells emphatically upon tbe necessity of combating the fallacy that cholera is contagious . ' Let it , ihen , be one object of your pastoral visits to remind those members of your flock whom providence has entrusted with the means of alleviating the misery of their fellow-creatures , that a portion of their charitable expenditure can hardly be more safely or properly directed than towards defraying the expense of cleaning and ventilating the miserable abodes of those by whose labour they are directly or incidentally beiiefitted .

Thia was agreed tn by ) he mealing , though not » ith that unanimity ' of which some of the speakers boasted , for it is due to truth to say tbat more than halt ' the persois present did not vote at all , The swend resolution , moved by tho R&v . Mr Greon , pledged the mteUng to offer their moat determined opposition to the scheme for

      the endowment of the Roman Catto'io clergy for Ireland , which , it is supposed , will be brought forward in the next sBssion of parliament . A Mr Jones explained the plan of agitation against the Established Church which the association has determined upon , b < r sending a corps of lwturers to variwB quar-. teri to institute a provincial agitation during the ensuing winter . Messrs Scobie , Miall , and othe * supporters of the dissenting inters , ware present . The staple of the speeches consi-ted of unmeasured denuntiaiion of all established churches ; and it was broadly hint-d , that ihou » h the fato of the oburcb , establishment might d ? sg dawn with it' other institutioua' into a common ruin , this would ba anything but a ragretable eonsequeace .
