HESSE CASSEL . "VTilhz : iisisAV , Oct . Ivth . — The Seoonp Hayx . £ « j . * -The improvensnt which suddenly comxoencea in oar affairs has teen as suddenly arrested in its course , JL Elwers required a thorough change in the system of government ; and as interior policy determines in nearly every state in Germany the onlward relationship of the government to the "two great powers , a liberal administration of Hess 8 Cassel would hare implied at least friendship with Prussia , and a renunciation of the Austrian intimacy . Of course the Elector , who does not vrmt s degree of good sense , must have understood this before he summoned M ; Elwers , Perhaps
his irresolution is the result of the influence of Count Beehenberg ,. who has just arrived from Bregenz , who , we may- be sure , would omit no persuasions to induce him to hold with Austria ; if no other reason , for this , that , the Cassel vote is indispensably necessary to keep up a quorum at the diet . However the national cause is much nearer victory tow it vas a few days / ego . The elector has proclaimed his dissatisfaction with Hassenpilug , in a way that will for ever prevent the exercise of power by ' that minister . Hassenpfluz is likely to become such another wretched wandering outcast as Haynau . And yet the man , with good abilities , has had fine opportunities . He wss exceedingly covetous . Hence
fraud and forgery , and hence his last year's bargain with the Elector to do the dishonourable work of that prince in consideration of a well-assured annuity of 4 , 000 thalera . It must be a secret satisfaction to the reactionaries of England , especially to those who delight in deriding our first faltering steps in the path of freedom , to know that a minister can lie engaged to coerce a state for less than the salary of a foreman-in a respectable manufactory . Hassenpflug must now betake himself either to Vienna or to London ; perhaps the former would be the safer place , but certainly his presence will not be tolerated in any other pari of Germany . We receive the most melancholy accounts of the utter disorganisation , of the government service at Cassel , owing to the division in the departments
consequent upon the summoning of several high-placed functionaries to Wiihelmsbad . Letters are unanswered , permissions , directions , applications ; are all thrown aside until it shall please the lord of this realm to let the state engine resume its work . No absence of the Elector or his ministers effected this mischief , but probably Hassenpfiug forgot this time to be selfish , and out of sympathy for the petty tyrants of Europe determined that Germany should not behold the dangerous spectacle of a people governing itself without the sovereign and a pack of titled and highly-paid ministers . Out of the 200 officers who tendered their resignations not more than twenty are possessed of private property , a fact -which ought not to be i ' orgotisn by the future historian of Hesse Cassel . A letter from Wilhdansbad , dated Oct . 18 , says ;
* The first proposals of M . Elwars have not been accepted , but it is not considered that the Elector will be able to fall back upon Hassenpflug and his two companions . It is stated that M . Duysing i » again summoned to Wilhelmsbad , a circumstance which seems to indicate that the Elector is preparing to secure his own and bis country's peace by a ministry which knows how to govern within the limits of the constitution . In connexion With the asserted comtemplated abdication of the Elector it is now stated . that the intention- of that sovereign was to follow the example of Ms father , by sharing the government with his successor . The Prince Frederick of Hesse was to have been made co-regent and actual governor , " while the Elector would have resided at Frankfort '
A letter dated Cassel , Oct . 18 tn , says : —' Preparations for the election of a new assembly are now making throughout the land , so that it is quite possible that the new chamber may meet in : tbree weeks or a month . If ow is the time for the Elector to show whether he is really inclined to an honourable and constitutional adjustment of the present differences , or whether his professions of legality were only intended to mislead the ignorant and credulous . The latest information which has arrived from
Cassel states that owing to certain difficulties , which are not mentioned , Elwers had returned to Cassel , but had again been summoned to Wilhelmsbad , together with : Councillor Schoffer . The resignation of the officers is said to hire produced a terrible effect on the Elector , and to have been the chief cause of the change in Ms mind . The . Kreuz 2 eitung , the advocate of unlimited obedience , finds in the resignation of these officers renewed reasons for opposing the proposal to make the army take the oath to the constitution . The Prussian constitution . expressly provides that the army shall not be sworn .
HANUYER . Oct . 18 xh . —The new ministry has not yel been able to assume the reins of government . The capital question , " that which has chiefly led to the resignation of M . Stuve , namely , the affairs , of Hesse , was nat considered so clear that the new ministry could assume the responsibility of supporting intervention in the face of all Germany . Ttu 3 , this morning hesitation still prevailed at the palace . The eight battalions , with the cavalry and infantry , ordered lately to hold themselves ready to inarch towards Hesse , have received no further instructions . ' -
MECKLENBURG-SCHWER 1 N . Hamburgh , Oct . 19 th . —The ' agitation provoked in the Grand Duchy of Aleckleriburg , by the total subversion of the constitution agreed on by sovereign and people in 1849 , and sworn to by the chief magistrate of the state , is daily gaining breadth and depth . The attitude of-the population and army of Hesss is not likely to calm this feeling ] . There i 3 ho doubt but that forthe presence of a Prussian army , which has its quarters at Boizsnburg , ostensibly for the purpose of observing events in Holstein , grave disorders would break but .

The earthly remains of the poet Stieglitz have been brought to Rome , and interred by the side of those of his unfortunate wife , who , in 1835 , deprived herself of life . Kinkel , the poet , is in Spandan , doomed to a confinement worse than that of the grave . He is not permitted to see . any one , to read , or write ; books , or pens and ink are prohibited in the strictest manner . His cell is hi 3 tomb . He never leaves it . The felons confined within the same precincts are permitted daily exercise ; the political offender who has broken no laws but those against which the divine spirit of mankind -rebefc , is immured day and night within a cell not so : large as those in the model prison at Pentonville . He complains of cold , and has in vain requested , nay , begged for warmer clothing . . Unless milder treatment is adopted towards him the unfortunate poet will soon lie by the side of his departed colleague . ¦
ROMAN STATES . Rome , Oct . 10 . —A Wholesale Military Execotion . —A wholesale military execution tjuk place here yesterday morning upon the pen > us of six offenders , charged with having been the principal agents ina horrible tragedy which sullied the streets of Rome with blood last year , during the early part of the siege . When the Neapolitans were at Albano , subsequently to the defeat of ths French on the 30 th April , the defence of the southern walU became naturally a point of anxiety with the Roman government , and therefore the vineyard walls and cottages were levelled in the immediate vicinity of the city , whilst the provisions , wine , horses , and
arras , they contained were brought in , so that they might not fall into the power of the enemy . No doubt such a measure was calculated to irritate the rustics , especially as the military patrollers did list always use courteous manners iu the execution of these perquisitions , one of which , in a vineyard near the Casa d' Spiriti , ' or Haunted House , ' brought on a quarrel , which ended in the death of the cultivator of the vineyard and the capture of three of bis nephews . This was on the 3 rd of May , 1 S 49 , and it was stated at the time that some of the patrol had been killed by a party of Jesuits in disguise , but from the judicial proceedings it appears that the so-called Jesuits were bond fide
countrymen , and that none of the military were killed . The patrol consisted of carbineers , or gendarmes , andj ' national guards , led by " a sergeant of Masis ' s regiment . The latter suggested the story of the countrymen being Jesuits in disguise , which being supported by the discovery of some medals and crucifixes about their persons , was eagerly caught up by the furious populace , who crowded round the prisoners and their escort ,. loudly demanding Lynch law . Near the Colosseum , the advocate Galletti , then general of the carbineers , met the mob , and having learnt the cause of it 3 excitement , gave orders that the prisoners should be forthwith conducted , to the Castle of St . Angelo .
These directions the escort attempted- to obey , but on the piazza before the Bridge of St . Angelo , the ferocity of the people burst all bonds , and the miserable-prisoners were hewn to pieces and thrown into . the Tiber , when within a " hundred yard 3 of heing saved . It is said that the first blow was given by a carbineer , who . was . informed that the prisoners were disguised Jesuits , and bad killed a soldier , of . his regiment ; but this did not clearly result from the judicial inquiry . Altogether the affair was a complete furor pojnili , and the whole blame rests with the . inventor of the calumny which so excited the vindictive feelings of the mob . Those who suffered condign , punish
ment yesterday were . the sergeant , in qufsjion , three carbineers , and a marble polisher , all from the Roman provinces , and a butcher , 22 years of cge , a Roman born . : The four military men confessed , received the last attention of the monks who accompanied them in the carts , and were ; Bhot before the other two , who . obstinately refused to listen to the exhortations of their . ' spiritual comforters . ; . ' The butcher saluted iis ' acquaintances ataongit . ; . ihe crowd ,, and joked vfith , them on the beauty of the weather ; and the garble polisher turned his head away from the priest , exclaiming 'I die a true Italian . * After some delay the mangled bedies'df
the four first cnminalsjone of whoni , having risen after the general discharge , ' was obliged- to receive five other , successive shots , were taken bs / ore the twoimpehitents to hasten their determination —the horrid spectacle induced the butcher to receive the sacrament , but the .-other remained obdurate to the last , and was shot without being reconciled to the church . ' The Kbman troops alone we ' re present , at the ^ executioni which . took place opposite . the TempYe ; of . Vesta ; , ther cartera who brought the crihunali were , disguised in long white gowns and ^ maska / whilst the monks were arrayed in long black garments of . a similar form , leaving only their eyes visible . - ' ' = *
• ' Oct . 14 th . —Yesterday was productive of . two sad events ; the drowning of five Trasteverini , who were crossing the Tiber in a- boafeopposite the Temple of Vesta ; and a quarrel between Roman gendarmes and French soldiers : at the Pace ,. near Piazza Navbna , when sabres were drawn and S 9 me , severe wounds inflicted .

amongst aristocratic families , Puseyite clergymen ' and university dignitaries . ^ , ¦ ! NAPLES , Oct . 141—The domestic events of Naples are confined to a continued system of police persecutions-contemptible and impolitic . A Neapolitan youth , arriving a few days since from France , brought with him a book containing 'A History of the JEwnta of Rome from 1815 to ' 50 . ' The police immediately carried the offending stripping off to prison , and ^ after being detained :. there for a month hs was compelled to p& 3 s sixty days in a religious hoase . Another example , of the petty tyr anny practised in Naples occurred under my own Byes . A fisherman of the Cbiaia had painted his
lioat green , red , and ; white , the usual colours of the pleasure barques from time immemorial in the bay of Naples .. A capo . lazzaro informed the ignorant offender that he was a carbonera . ' Why , ' said the government spy , ' you ' ve painted your boat as a revolutionist would have suggested / ' How ?

' ¦( . - ¦ :
Another example of the absurd proceedings of the police may be gathered from the fact , that no one is allowed to carry a common hazel stick , as it is considered a mark of republicanism ! With such triflsB , and with such absurdities , the executive of the Neapolitan government is now employed whilst the , king is kept in lively personal fear by those who surround him at Gaeta , where His Majesty has taken to reside surrounded by troops . . The state trials continue , and in a few days it is expected that the fate of the accused will lie settled .

Tiie house in which the robberV was committed is on the left side of the Craven Hotel , Strand , directly facing tho Golden Cross coach-yard ; and the shop from which the valuable DroDertv has teen abstracted belongs to Messrs .
Clapham and Williams , silversmiths ana jowollers , one of the oldest established houses in the Strand . The hour at which tho robbers must have entered is supposed to be about three o ' clock , but how an entry was effected there is not the slightest circumstance to show . The property stolen is diamonds of great value and other precious Btones , which were not set , also a great numbor of rings and watches . There is not the shadow of a doubt but that plate was the desideratum with the- burglars , as Messrs . Williams and Clapham are celebrated for their massive plate services , but fortunately in this they were dobmed . to be disappointed , as the greater portion was removed from the front chop into an inner , shop , and there safely encased in a plate chest . As
far as the robberies areknown , it is stated that the whole of the plunder might bo placed in a man ' s pooket . The robbery was first discovered on TueBday morning , about seven o'clock , when the shopman came as usual , To his astonishmeut tho right door was ajar , slightly fixed , and , on pushing it open , he discovered that the carpet and _ chairs had evidently been moved from tHe position in which he had left them , the previous evening , about ten o ' clock . He immediately raised an alarm , and , calling for the constable on the beat , they immediately made a search , but the robbers had of course fled before daylight appeared . Information was at once given . at Sootland-yard , also at Bow-street , and from the latter place Inspector Dodd at once
lastened to the spot . He made all the necessary inquiries- and then dispatched Sergeants Thompson and West to take charge of the affair . " Inspectors Xund and ' shawi the two'detective officers , also made an examination of tho premises , arid already have they i attached suspicion to . two ^ parties . ; It would , of course , be : unadvisable to mention ^ tho name 3 of the suspected ' persons , as that might defeat the ends of justice ; but at all events these officers are quite 'Satisfied , from the clue which they have already discovered , that they will be able to place'the delinquents at the bar of justice before another three days have passed .. The robbery has oreated the greatest excitement amongst the numerous silversmiths with which the Strand abounds ' . '

Mutiny ai ; Sb . a . —The English barque Resolution , Captain James . Carnuchael , which has arrived at Malta from Alexandria , laden with a cargo of wheat bound to England , put into that port chiefly on acf count of the mutinous conduct of a part of the crew , who refused to / work the ship or give-any assistance . when the vessel made water ; declaring they would sooner , see her go down than take a spell at the pumps . On . coming into port , the vessel being short handed , and a sud . dengush of wind at the time catching her , she ^ neal-ljr got on shore , whilst the five mutinous : soaroen wero sitting in the long boat enjoyingjhe situation , qf-the . vessel .

. A Ukw Fire . ALAnuM .- ^ An , opportunity was afforded on Tuesday of witnessing a-new ' , and , ingenious contrivanco for giving alarm in case of fire . It is the invention of a genlemari named llobinson , of Great Queen-street , Westminster , and consists of a series of gutta percha strings , which are intended to be eo fixed throughput the different compartments of a house , or warehouse that they shall communicate' with ft bell . attached to the outer door . These strings of gutta percha are niade to intersect each other in various directions , so that the application of fire to any part of them will cause them to break , and thus make the bell ring by depriving it of the support it . receives from being in close contact with tho street door . The principle is a very simple one , and if adopted in ¦ warehouses and other large establishments , whore a person might be employed to adjust the- apparatus . may prove advantageous . ..--. ,
