      : Martial law ia established throughout the cantons of th < the Soaderbund . Tbo Court Martial of tba seven cantons is i is composed of a deputy from each canton of tha League , ta ! taken from tbe most violent partisans of the Sender . Dubuad , under the presidency of tbe famous Siegwart Mi 2 foiler . It is to this supreme authority that all the po powers of the allied cantons , and all their military < jpr . xal rations , aremade subject . AH dispatches from Lucerne to to the different eantons of tbe SomJerhuui have tbe folloilotriug heading ia lithography , 'Vorort ef the Sara , Cs Catholic Cantons . ' There are , consequently , two YorerU in in the confederation .

      The Seattawfe de 2 a Suisse primitive announces that an as association of ladies has been formed at Lucerne , the ol object oi which is declared by its founders to be , * to de-Stfaoaace to thepaliceall words or insinuations . ffosive to to fee clergy or tbe anthoritlea . ' This fact , if established 1 , tt throws a ourious light on the morals of the Sonderbund . It Is stated in a letter from Basle of the 9 th , that tha pt people of Schwiti haveburnt tha cringe over tbe Slhl , on ft the frontier of Zurich and Zug , and that the bridge of B Saperschwill has been cut off on the Schwifr side , as far a as the frontier of St Gall .

      Xxtarayer was occupied on tbe 8 th b y the troops cf G Geneva , without its being found necessary , to fire a gun , a and the inhabitants of this district manifested satisfac . ti tioa at the arrival of the federal foree . Herat , another di district of Fribourg , was in open insurrection , and the ts -troops of that state had been eipulaed by the iababf . fatants . On the other hand , the Sonderbund had dixixectedits troops towards Lucerne and Zug , which are e expected to be tbe principal points of resistance . Oa the 9 th , the T » udese aud Genevese troops oecup pied Dompierre . The federal troops have taken several hhostages to guarantee the safety ofthe politicalpris aontrs whoremain " n the prhom c-f Fribourg . Fanuoxe , Nov . 8 . —All the troops have been concent tested within the capital .

      iBCEMa . Nor . 9—An eslstette has jast arrive ! an-I Bouncing that the inhabitants of Ttssino had mads aa t attack on the hospice of St Gothard . The inhabitants < of Uri and Talals assembled ™ large numbers and drore t them back with great loss . The corpses ofthe men 1 killed ia the first skirmish lay for four and twenty ] hours on the ground , but were at length buried by the 3 inhabitants of Clirolo . Tha Slat has contracted a loss at Frankfort at the rate of seven per cent . The operations against Fribourg , commenced on the

      « vemaj of the Uth . fast . That evening the Federal troops took possession of two strong positions not far from a smaU village of Fribeui £ , called langisa , and two pieces ef cannon employed by tbe Sonderbund for their defence were taken . On the morning of the 12 th , orders were issued throughout the whole ofthe line for the army to advance upon Fribourg , and with tbe ex . eeptioaof the tows itself and the ground occupied by fiie defenders , which in all is not above a league , the whole af the canton of Fribourg Is now in the possession oi tha Federal troops

      ATTACK UPON FRIBOURG . Oaihe 12 th thegeneraMn-chief of tbe frderal ' army General Dufour , arrived at his head quarters at Avreu . « bes , near Fribourg . Immediately afterwards he s ; at a summons to the town ef Fribeurg to surrender , and intimated that if he received no answer within twenty four hours he would proceed to force . It appears that negotiations were entered into , but on the 13 th , at midd « y , at which time tbe period allowed had elapsed , the plice not being surrendered , the attack was comment * d on the works iu front of the town , the Fribourg troops endeavoured to resist , and a skirmish took place on the great road leading from Berne to . Fribourg , in which the troops of the Canton de Yaud lost two officers billed , and Several officers and men killed aud wounded .

      On the 13 th the Federaldirectory received in forma tian from Argtn , BVeOUtier . that four battalions of { afantry and several compauitsef cavalry and artillery made an attempt to invade theFreiant of the canton of Argau . They endeavoured to force the passage of Buess , between Dietwjl and Mar , but some companies of artillery from Zurich , supported by detachments of militia , opposed so vigorous a resistance to them that they were obliged to retrace their step i . The conduct or the Papal Ifancio at Lucerne has at . tnctfjl tbe attention of tbe Oerman areas . The reverend father has self-installed himself hlgh . prfest of the

      troopofthe Son ' erboad , and omits no occasion to encourage tbe fanaticism ef the Catholic soldiers . This Nuncio is a warm partisan of Lambraschini , and his appointment at Lucerne dates from the papacy ofthe late Pope Gr . gory XVI It was hoped that a word of peace would etra late frjm Borne , at the last moment , to prevent hostiltie * , hut accordingto the latest accounts received this day from Switzerland that monunt is . enrolled in the past , and the fatal boor of war and bloodshed has Struck in 8 v i zerland . We have received , says a letter from Basis , unquestionable news that the bombardment -of Fribourg commenced on the 12 th inst .

      ITALY . The aews from Italy is important . The initiative of an Italian customs' league has been assumed conjointly by Piedmont , Tuscany , and Rome , Tha Duke of Hodsna and the King of Naples are expressly invited to jsia it . and an opportunity is taeiily afforaed to the ether states ofthe peninsula to concur in this first measure of Italian nationality . Advices from Genoa , ! which coma dewa to the 5 th instant , bring reports of one of the most magnificent popular ovations of which that city has been the theatre

      for a long series of jears . The reforms recently made ia the auministraticn of the state h y King Charles Al . bert have filled the entire population of Piedmont with enthusiasm , and their gratitude almost amounted to deliriem . The journey of j the Hing from Turin to Genoa was one conttnaedrtriamph . -Among tho innumerable banners which floated around the King , as he mads his promenade in the evening through tbe city , one was especially noticed . It was the famous standard captured from the Austrians bv tbe Genoese ia 1746 , aad was on this occasion boms by the Ifarquls George Doria ,

      -We have received accounts from Modena , of the Tta instant , which state that the Modeaesa troops entered the territory of Frrizztne on the 5 th instant , It will he recollected tbat this is a portion of the territories of the Grand JJuke of Tuscany , which , by tbe terms of the treaty of Vienna , pus to the Duke of Mcdena on the succession ofthe Grand Bake to the dukedom of Lucca . The inhabitants ef Fiviazano had protested against being handed over to the Duke of Modena , whose authority they detest . It was reported tbat on the invitation ofthe Bake of Modena , the Austrian trosps had entered the Hodenese states , in order to leave the troops of tbe duke free to act against Fivlzzano . Letters from Naples of the 8 th mention an emeute at Haidaa , aud conflicts bstween the troops and the populace . This was attributed to the despair and rage of the people under the persecutions of the infamous Del * carretto , the minister of police .

      POLAND . E AsiisjnriTioSaTCaACow . —Baron Zsjsezkowski . president of the courts for political off-nces , was shot on the evening of the 4 th inst ., at Cracow . He was re . tuning to his house at eight o ' clock ia the evening , when a bullet laid hint dead in the street . Two men -were objured to run off in contrary directions , but the darkness prevented them from being recognised . PCZT 8 ZK PaazzcoLass . —It was at eight o'clcck is tha evening that tbe president was returning to his domicile , situated at the end ot St Anne-street , and almost touching St Anae ' s Church . The night was densely dark , and he was preceded by an orderly hearing a lantern . Tfiey were walking en ia silence , when the president suddenly made a remark on the darkness , and said

      how easy it would be for a man to attack tbem without bsinr . perceived . These prophetic words were the last that palled his lips . Almost at tha same moment two tall figures wrapped np in cloaks passed the soldier . On arriving Hear the president , one of them exclaimed Ten ! ( it is him } , whereupon the other tapped him upon the shoulder aud said , ' How fares it , comrade F As the president turned his head towards bis unknown questioner , the other stranger fired a piste ! at his head , at only a few inches distance , and the unfortunate man fell down dead immediate !; . Another account states , that one of tha men remained in the distance , whilst the other seized tho victim by the throat with his left hand and blew his brains out with the other . A mysterious silence prevailed during this tragic act .

      Tba boldness of tho act will he doubly wondered at when it is known that only a few hundred yards higher up there is a guard-house , ani the regular sentries before the castle . The orderly seems to have beta so taken by surprise as not to hare been capable of doing anything . The report of the pistol was heard distinctly in many parts of the town . A sentinel on duty at tbe castle , which is situated on an eminence , saw the flash ef the pistol . The armed force was on the spot in a moment but the corpse of tbe murdered man was all tbey found—aU clue to the murderers was ia vain . AU the gates were immediately closed , aad all persons in the street arrested . Up to tbe present moment nothing has transpired to discover the asiitsins . Suspicion rests on some ef the political of feeders who have been setatlarge : it was also tut re .

      Gently that five escaped from prison . One of these , a priest , is said to have written threatening letters to the presiden t , saving he had friends in Cracow who would payhim off according to his merits . Placards announcing that tbe president Zajaeskowski had been assassinated , and offering a reward for the apprehension of the murderer , were stuck up next day , but some unknown hands took them down , and substituted ethers to the effect that sixteen-other persons were doemed to the same death as the president . The latter ia said to have been advised by his friends to be less severe in his proceed , ings against political offenders , bnt always laughed at them , saying that he knew very well . who he had to deal with .

      THE CIRCASSIAN WAR , CoKST 4 HTurortE , Ocr . 2 f . —One ofthe chieftains of Daghistan , named CaraCapak Bey , had crossed over to the Bussian encampment , with the intention of watching their movements and of examing their force , positions , & c . But he was seized by the Russian commander , who , suspecting something of the sort , had him imprisoned iu the fortress of Saty . The chieftain mentally Towed vengeance , but concealed his sentiments under themaskof humilit y . He corrupted his guards , however and making his escape returned te tbe mountains , accompanied by fifteen discontented Russians , who had co-operated in his enlargement . Cara Capak irametiately repairedto Shamil , and acquainted him with the several vulnerable positions of the Bussian encampment ,

      and , without loss of time , Daniel Bey was directed to proceed with 2 , 608 cavalry to attack the fort of JOaoko , then weakly garrisoned . Their first operations were unsuccessful ; they were put to flight by 2 . 809 mounted Cossacks and allowed themselves to be pursued into some ded / ei , where Bussian military movements could not be effected . TheDaghlees here dismounted , and , ? iking advantageousp-sitions behind the trees and reckf , opened a hot fire , which for some time the Russians steed withoatbelng able to retorna shot , and afterwards they got into confusion , wbich finished by becoming-a general sauce gui peuf . The Russians lift 858 horses

      killed on the field ; they had further 300 killed , 527 wounded , and ISO men missing . As soon a the Bussi - n g neral learned this defeat , he set out with such trooj s at could be spared to collect the dispersed men , to whom he took previsions and ammunition , of which they weie in great need . Again the Russians , reinforced and ably commanded , penetrated into tbe mountain * , and for sis days and sis nights both parties were fighting , like devils—the Russians for vengeance , and the Dagblees for the love cf plunder . It is further stated , that the Bussian amy had retreated upon Koub-tn , consequently their operations will be closed this season , whatever they may do next year .

      UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . The following is taken frem the American accounts of the capture of Mexico : — After Chapultepec bad been triumphantly carried , Generals Brave and Houterde , besides a host of officers of different grades , were takenprisoners ; ever 2 , 001 noncommissioned officers and privates ; all the cannon and ammunition were also taken , aad a crowd of fugitives were soon in full flight towards the different works which commanded the entrances to the city , and the Americans at once were in hot pursuit .

      General Quitman , supported by Gen . Smith ' s brigade , took : the road by the Chapultepec aqueduct towards the B & len gate and the Ciudadela ; 0 « n . Worth , supported by Gen . Cadwallader ' s brigade , advanced by the San Cosmo aqueduct towards tbe garita of that name . Both routs were cut up by ditches and defended by breastworks , barricades , and strong works of every description known to military science ; but one defence after another was overcome , and by nightfall every work to the city ' s edge was carried . General Quitman ' s command , after the rout at Chapultepec , was the first to encounter the enemy ia force . Midway between the

      former and the Helen Gate , Santa Anna had constructed a strong work ; but this was at once vigorously assaulted by Gen , Quitman , and aided by a flank fire from two guns , which Gen Worth had ordered to approach as near a * possible , from the San Cosmo read , tbe enemy was again routed , aad in full flight . They again mads a stand from their strong fortifications at and near the Bslen Gate , opening a tremendous fire net only of round shot , grape and shell , but of musketry ; yet Gen . Quitman boldly advanced , stormed and carried the works , although at great loss ; and then every point on that side cf the city was in the possession of the

      Amerltans . Meanwhile , General Worth was rapidly advancing upon San Cosmo . At the English burying-ground the enemies bad constructed a strong work . It was defended by infantry for a short time , but could not resist the assault . The affrighted Mexicans soon fled to another line of works nearer tbe city , and thus General Worth was in possession of the entrance te San Cosmo . As his men advanced towards the garita , the enemy opened a heavy fire of musketry from tbe house tops , as well as of grape , canister , and shell from their batteries , thus sweeping tke street completely . At this juncture tie old Monterey game of burrowing and digging through the hemes was adopted . The Americans , as dark was setting in , had

      dug and mined tbeir way almost up to the guns of the enemy , and . after a short struggle , they were completely routed and driven , with tha lost of everything . The command of the city by the Saa Cosmo route was attained . During the night General Quitman commenced the work of throwing up the breastworks and erecting batteries , with the intention cf opening a heavy cannonade upen the Cindadela with tbo first light on the morning ef the Uth . At ten o ' clock at night , General Worth ordered a 24-pounder and a 10-inch mortar to be brought op to tbe garita , or gate of San Cosmo , and having ascertained tbe bearings and distance of the grand plsza and palace , at once opened npoa those points . The heavy shells were heard to explode in tbe very heart of the city .

      At a little after midnight , Hsjar Palsclos , accompanied by two or three members of tbe municipal council ofthe city , arrived at General Worth ' s head-quarters , and in great trepidation informed him that Santa Anna aud his grand army had fled , and that tbejjwished at once to surrender , the capital . They were referred to tbe commander-in-chief , and immediately started for Tacubaya bntin the mean time , the firing upon tke town ceased . On the 1 Mb , at seven o ' clock , General Scott , with his s ' aff , rode in and took quarters ia tbe national palace , on entering which General Scott at once named General Quitman governor of Meiico ,

      After General Bravo had been taken prisoner , aud Santa Anna bad abandoned the capital , the latter issued a decree bearing date September 16 . In this he premises that he designs to continue the campaign : ( hat to do so aud retain executive authority are quite incompatible , as the executive government should reside iu the centre ofthe republic . Wishing to avoid this evil , and to provide for the permanency of tbe government , let what may betide . herti ' gBsfhe Provisional Presidency of the Ba public , and orders that the executive authority shall be vested in the President of the Supreme Court ( Senor Peaa y Pena ) assisted by General flerreraand General Alcorta—the latter ia place of General Bravo . A second article ofthe decree fixes upon Queretaro as the seat of I government for tha nation .

      Later news represents Paredes as being mixed np in some scheme or conspiracy to establish a monarchy la Mexico . Mr Trist is recalled . The position of General Taj lor is likely to be a precarious one , a Mexican rising having taken place on the Rie Grande , extending from tbat river to tbe Sierra Madre . General T / rrea was said to . be at the head at twelve thousand men . The Mexican Congress was to meet at Queretaro on the Sth Nov . Assassinations of American soldiers were very frequent at Mexico , aud it was believed that an organised plan of assassination had been matured .

      The total of Americans killed and wounded In the battles of the Mexican war , up to the present time , er to our latest dates , is estimated at 4 , 800 ; and an equal number is the estimate from skirmishes , missing , and sickness . Truly a fearful aggregate ! The Execution of the Amsbicih Desebmss . —We take the following report of this horrible massacre from the Amtriean Statu — ' Oa the morning of tht . Sth were hung at Saa Angel sixteen deserters from the American army , who had taken up arms against their goviraraent . Immediately after , soma ten or twelve were whipped and branded oh tbe cheek with the letter D . Riley , the chief ofthe St Patricia crowd , came in for a share of tba whipping and branding , and right well was the former laid on by a Mexlean muleteer . General Twiggs

      deemed it too much honour to the Major to he flogged by an American soldier . He did not stand the operation with tbat stoicism we expected . The next morning four others ofthe same company were execated otMixcoac , and on the 13 th thirty more were hung upon one gallows at the same place . The thirty were brought out for execution about the same time that Chapultepec was being stormed , and Colenel Harney , pointing to that place , told them that they should lire long enough to see the American flag hoisted upon the battlements of tbat fortress , and no longer . In a few moments our colours were raised , aud after tbey were shown to them they were lauuehed into eternity ! The clergy at San Angel pleaded hard to save the lives of these men , bat it was ia vain .

      Sanatoet Repoem.—Darins The Past Week Do...

      Sanatoet REPOEM . —Darins the past week Doctor Bachoffner has been engaged in delivering , at the Royal Polytechnic Institution , a lecture on the ' Laws of Nation , as applicable to the Sanatory Measuns . ' The learned professor commenced this important subject with a number of remarks ; such as the composition of tbo atmosphere , the beating of the heart and the action of the lungs , from all of which be deduced the self-evident fact that the inhaling over and ever again ofthe same air must be most injurious and obnoxious to the health of individuals . The doctor then exhibited numerous interesting experiments , by which he proved that the air when once passed through the lungs was unfit to

      be inhaled again ; he then proceeded to the subject of ventilation , remarking first , that the subject of drainage , though equally important , was one that depended solely upon the legislature . "U pon the question of ventilation the professor touched at seme length , and insisted on tbe necessity of this measure to every individual , He instanced a variety of plans for tho purpose of ventilation—more particularly one by Dr Arnott , both for rich and poor—as from'their simplicity and inexpensive mode would he in the reach of all classes . The doctor concluded his admirable lecture by reading extracts frnm several works , all of which fully confirmed . his statements .

      TflEREFORM MOVEMENT IN FRANCE . ( From our Paris Correspondent ) When , during the last session of tho Legislative Chamber . ' , M . E- de Girardtn had brought to light those numerous and scandalous facts of corruption which he thoueht would overthrow tbe government ; when , after all , tbe government had maintained themselves against the storm ; when the celebrated Two Hundred and Twenty-five declared themselves ' satisfied' as to the innocence of the ministry , all seemed to be over , and tbe Parliamentary Opposition , towards the close of the session , felt back into the same impotency and lethargy which tbe ; had manifested at tbe beginning , But all was not over . Though

      Messrs Rothscbild , Fould , Fulchiron , and Go . were satisfied , the people were not , nor was a large portion of the middle classes . The majority of the . French bourgeoisie , especially those of the second and-third rank , could not but see that tbe present class of electors became more and more the obedient servants of a small number of bankers , stock-jobbers , railwayspeculators , large manufacturer ? , landed and mining proprietors , whose interest wag ineonlyin ' erert oared for by the government . ¦ They saw that there was no hope for them ever to regain the oosition in the Chambers which , since 1830 , they-had bees losing more and more every day , unless they extended the suffrage . They knew tbat electoral and parliamentary Reform , was a dangerous experiment for . them to

      try ; but what e » uld they do ? Seeing that the haute finance , the lords of Paris Exchange , bought up the government and both the Chambers ; toeing their own interests open y trampled upon ; they wo-e obh ' gedeifher to submit patiently , and await humbly and quietly the day when the encroachments of the ruling money lords would make them bankrupts , or to risk parliamentary Reform . They preferred the latter . The Op ? os : tion , ofallshades , therefore , united . some four months ago , in getting up a demonstration in favour of Electoral Reform . A public dinner was arranged and took place in July , at the Chateau-Kouee ball-rooms , at Paris . All fractions of Reformers were

      represented , ar . d the assembly was rather mixed ; but theDemocraia , having been tbemost active , evidently predominated . They had made it a condition of their assistance , that tbe king ' s health should not be drank , but be replaced by a toast in favour of tbe sovereignty of the people ; the committee ' knowing well that in the most democratic town of France they could not set up a decent deraonstratior without the Democrats , were obliged to comply . . 1 / 1 recollect rightly , you gave , at the time , a full account ofthe banquet , which was in every respect more like a demonstration bf the strength , both in number and intellect , of democracy at Paris , than anything else .

      The Journal des Deoats failed not to raise , a terrible outcry about this banquet . ' What ! no toast to tbe king ? and this toast not omitted by negligence , by want of a sense of . propriety—no , this omission put as a condition for their support by part ofthe gettersup ! Why , what pretty company this calm and peaceful M . Dnvergier de Houranne—thi * moral-force , monarchical M . Odillcn Barrot have got into ! Why this is notmere republicanism—this is revolutionism , pbyaical-torcism , socialism , atopianism , anarchism and communism ! Ah , hut , gentlemen , we . know you —we have had samples of your bloody dcede , we have proofs of what you are contending for ! Fifty years ago , gentlemen , you called yourselves the club of the Jacobins V ...

      Next day ' s National replied to the fierce and furious vituperation of the furiously moderate paper by a host oi quotations from Louis Philippe ' s private journal , written in 1791 and 1792 , where every day ' s note of the then ' Citizen Egalit € junior' commenced with the nerds : 'To-day I was at the Jacobins '— Today I took the liberty of saying a few words at the Jacobins which were warmly applauded '— ' Today I- was called to the office of door-keeper at the Jacobins , 'die ' The central committee of tbe Opposition had invited their friends in the country to imitate the example given by the metropolis , in getting up every where similar banquet * in favour of Reform . This was dene accordingly , and a great number < f Reform

      dinners were held in almost all parts of France . But not every whtre thesame union of aU fractions of Reformers could be made to prevail . In a great number of the smaller towns the middle clas * Liberals were strong enough to carry the king ' s health being drank , by which the Democrats were excluded . In other localities they tried to make it pass in the shape of a toast : — 'The constitutional king , and the sovereignty of the people . ' This beine not yet sufficient to the Democrats , they went on shufiTng , and replaced the' constitutional king' by the 'constitutional institutions , ' among which royalty , of course , was tacitly comprised . Toe great question now agitated among the provincial Liberals is , whether they are to give up even this , and to resign all attempts at carrying the king ' s health in whatever shape or disguise it be , or whether they are to separate openly from the Democrats , who , in that case , would get up . separate and competing banquets . For the democratic party

      insist up-n the original agreement , tbat the king be not mixed up at ail with the affair , and if in one case tbe National has been wavering a little , the party of the Reforme stand firmly on the side of republicanism . In all the large towns the Liberals have been forced to give way , and if in the . localities of le . ser importance they have carried the king ' s health , it is because such banquets cost a great deal of money , and , therefore , the people are naturally excluded from them . On the occasion ofthe banquet of Bar-le-Duc , the Reforme says : ' Whoever would take such demonstration as a sample of the state of public opinion in France , would be very much mistaken indeed ; they are got up by the middle classes only , and the people are entirely shut out from them . This neitation , if it be confined to the limits of the Bar-le-Duo banquet , will vanish like all bourgeois movements ; like tbe Free Trade movement , wbich after a few hollow speeches died away yery soon . '

      The first large banquet , after that of Paris , was held at Strasburg , in tbe beginning of September . It was rather a democratic one , and a working man , at the close of it , proposed a toast to the organisation of labour , which term , in France , expresses that which in England the National Association of United Trades are trying to carry out ; viz , the freeing of labour from the oppression of capital by carrying on manufacturing , agricultural , and other purposes , for the account , either of the associated working men themselves , or of the people at large , under a democratic government . Then came the banquets of Bnr-le Due , ^ bourgeois demonstration , finished by the Mayor proposing tbe health of the Constitutional King ( very constitutional , indeed ); of Colmar , Rheims , and Meaux , all of them entirely dominated by the bourgeoisie , who , in those secondary towns , alwaya have it all their own way .

      But the banquet of Saint Quentin , again , was more or less democratic ; and that of Orleans , in the last days of September , was , from beginning to end , a thoroughly democratic meeting . Judge of it by the toatfto the working classes , responded to by M . Marie , one of the most celebrated barristers of Paris , and a democrat . Ho commenced his speech in the Mowing termt : — 'To the working men—te those men , always neglected and forgotten , but always faithful to the interestsef their country , always ready to die for its cause , be it in defending their native land again & t foreign aggression , be it in guarding our institutions , when menaced by inward foes ! To those , from whom we demanded the days of July , and who gave them to us ; terrible in tbeir action " , generous in their triumph , resplendent with courage , probity , and disinterestedness ! ' and concluded the toast in these words : 'Liberty , equality , fraternity !'

      It is characteristic that the Orleans banquet was the only one at which we find it stated that covers were reserved for the representatives ofthe working people . -, .. ..- ' -- ¦ . The banquet of Culommiers , Melun , and Cosne , again , were mere bourgeoisie gatherings .. The 'left Centre , ' the middle-class Liberals of the Constitutionnel and Steele , amused themselves in listening to the speeches otM . M . Barrot , Beaumont ,. Drouin de L'huy ? , and such like retailers of reform . At Cosne , the democrats openly declared against the demonstration , because the king ' s health was insisted upon . The same narrow spirit prevailed at the banquet of La Charit 6 . on the Loiro . . In return , the Reform dinner of Ohartrep , was thoroughly democratic . No toast to . the kingtoasts for Electoral and Parliamentary Reform upon the largest base , for Poland and Italy , for the organisation of labsur .

      This week banquets will take place at Lille , Valenciennes , Avesnes , and throughout the Department of the North , generally . ' 1 hose . of Lille and Valenciennes , at least , will probably take a decidedly democratic turn . In the South of France , at Lyons , and in the West , other demonstrations are preparing . The Reform Movement is far from being near to its close . You see from this account that , from its very beginning , the Reform Movement of 1847 has been marked by a struggle betwixt the Liberals and tbe Democrats ; that while the Liberals carried their ends in all the smaller localities , the Democrats were the stronger in alllargc towns ; in Paris , Strasburg , Orleans , Cbartres , and even in one smaller town , in Saint-Quentin ; that the Liberals were very anxious

      of having the support of tho Demoerats ; that they shuffled and made concessions , while tho Democrats never retracted an iota of the condition under which they were readyto give their support , and that wherever the Democrats assisted , they had it all their own way . Thus , aft . er . all , the whole movement has been turned to the profit of democrn . cy , lor all those banquets which excited public attention in snmo degree , were , one and all , democratic . _^ Tbe Reform Movement was seconded by the Departmental Councils , who met in September , and who are entirely composed by bourgeois . The Counci ' s ofthe Departments of IheCOte-d'O- . ofFinitterrc , of the Aisne , tho Moselle , tbe llautr Rhin , tho Oke , thei V 08 ges , the Nsrth . and others , demanded , more , or less , extensive reforms , all of them , of course , [ confined to tho limits , of oo « rj « ois Liberalism ,

      Tflereform Movement In France. (From Our...

      B qt what , willyou ask , are the reform s demanded ? There are as many different systems of reform , as there are shades of Liberals and Radicals . ^ ' The least thing asked for , is the extention of the Suffrage , to what is called the capacities , or what you , in England , would call the learned professions , even if they do not pay the 200 francs of direct taxes , which make , at present , a man a voter . Then the Liberals have some other propositions , more or less in common with the Radicals . These are : — 1 st . The extension ofthe incompatibilities , or the declaring of certain government offices to be incompatible with the functions of a representative . The government bare , at present , more than 150 of tbeir subordinate employers in the Deputies , all of which may , at any moment , be cashiered , and are , therefore , entirely dependent upon the Ministry .

      2 nd . The enlargement of some electoral districts , some of which are composed of less than 150 voters , who are , therefore , entirely ruled through tho influence of the government upon their local and personal interests . 3 rd . Tho electing of al ! deputies of a Department in a full meeting of all the electors , assembled at its principal town , by-which !¦ means , local interestsare intended to be more or less submerged in the common interests of the whole Department , and thus render nugatory the corruption and influence of the government .

      Then , there are proposals for lowering the amount of the voting qualification in different degrees . The most Radical of these propositions is that of the National i the paper of the Republican small tradesmen , for extending tbe suffrage to all men belonging to the National Guard . This would give the vote to the entire class of small tradesmen and shopkeepers , and extend the suffrage in the same degren as the Reform Bill has done in England ; but the consequences of such a measure wonld , in Francei bo much more important . ; The small bourgeoisie in this country , are so much oppressed and squeezed by the large capitalists , that they would be obliged to have recourse to direct aggressive measures against the mnneylords , as soon as they got the suffrage . As I said in an article I sent you some months ago , they

      would be carried further and further , even against their own consent ; they would be forced either to give up the positions already-won , or to form an open alliance with tbe warking classes , and that would , aodner or later , lead to the Republic . They' know thfs in some measure . . Most of them support Universal Suffrage , and so does the Actional , which goes for the above measure only , as far as it is considered as a preliminary step in the road of reform . Of all Parisian daily papers , there is , however , but one which will not be satisfied with anything less than Universal Suffrage , and which , by the term ' Republic , ' understands not merely Political Reforms , which will , after all , leave the working classes as miserable as before—but Social Reforms , and very definite ones too . This paper is tbe Reforme .

      The Reform movement is , however , not to be considered as the totality of the agitation now going en in France . Far from it ! At all these banquets , be they Liberal or Democratic , the middlo classes were predominating ; tbat of Orleans was the only one in which working men took part . The movement of the working people is going on . side by side { with these banquets , silently , underground , almost invisible , for everyone who does not take the trouble of looking after it . But it is going on more lively than ever . The government know this very well . " They have given their permission to all these middle class banquets ; but when the typographic working men of Paris , in September , asked for the permission to hold their annual banquet , which , up to tho present time , they bad held every year , and which was

      in no manner ot a political character , it was refused to them . The government are so afraid of the working people , that they do not allow them the slightest liberty . They are afraid , because the people have entirely given up all attempts at insurrection and rioting . The government desire a riot , they provoke it by every means . The police throw out small bomb-shells filled with incendiary papers ; which , by the explo-ion of the shell , are spread all over the streets . A trades' affair in the Rue St Honoio , was profited by , to make the most brutaljattacksupon the people , in order to ptovoke them to riot and violence . Tens of thousands assembled every evening during a fortnight ; they were treated in the most infamous manner ; they were on tbe very

      brink of repelling force by force ; but they held out . and no pretext for more gagginglaws are to be forced from tbem . And think , what a tacit understanding , what a commen feeling of what was to be done , at the moment , must have prevailed ; what an effort it must have cost to the people of Paris , to submit to such infamous treatment rather than try a a hopeless insurrection . What an enormous progress this forbearance proves in those very same working men of Paris , who seldom went into the streets , without battering to pieces every thing before them ; who are accustomed to insurrection , and who go into a revolution just as gaily as they go to the wineshop ! But if you weuld draw from this the conclusion that the revolutionary ardour of the people is

      decreasing , you would be quite mistaken . On the contrary , the necessity nf a revolution , and a revolution more thorough-going , more radical by far than tbe first one , is deeper than ever felt by the working people here . But they know from the experience of 1830 , that mere fighting will net do ; that the enemy onco beaten , they must establish measures that will guarantee thestability of their conquest ; that will destroy not only the political , but the social power of capital , that will guarantee their social welfare , along with their political strength . And , therefore , they very quietly await their opportunity , but , in the meantime , earnestly apply themselves to the study of those questions of social economy , the solution of which will show what measures alone can

      establish , upon a firm basis , the welfare of all . Within a month or two , six thousand copies of M . Louis Blano ' s work on ' The Organisation of Labour , 'have been sold in the workshops ol Paris , and you must consider , that five editions of this book had been published before . They read likewise a number of other works upon these questions ; they meet in small numbers of from ten to twenty , and discuss the different plans propounded therein . They talk not much of revolution , this being a thing admitting of no doubt , a subject upon which tbey one and all agree ; and when tho moment will have arrived , at which a collision between the people and the government will be inevitable , down they will be in the

      streets and tquares at a moment ' s notice , tearing up the pavement , laying omnibuses , carts , and coaches , across the streets , barricading every alley , making every narrow lano a fortress , and advancing , in spite of . all resistance , from the Bastile to the Tuileries . And then , I fear , most of the reform banquet gentry will bide themselves , in the darkest corner of their bouses , or be scattered like dead haves before the popular thunderstorm . Then it will be all over with Messrs Odillon ( Barrot , de Beaumont and other Liberal thunderers , and then the people will judge them quite as severely as they now judge tbe Conservative governments .

      Impobtamcb op Analtticai . Post-Mortbm Examination—An inquest was held by Mr Wakley , M . P . at the Middlesex Hospital , on Pat . Manning , a paviour , who died suddenly at his work , in a tew minutes after having eaten his breakfast , brought to him by his wife . On a simple examination of the post mortem appearances of the stomach and intestines , tho surgeon was inclined to think that those appearances were caused by arsenic , and intimated to ths Coroner his private opinion , that if time were given for correct and careful chemical analysis , that poison in a metallic form would be discovered present . Tho Coroner afforded sufficient time , and the contents of the stomach were tested by Mr Corfe

      and Dr Rano ! ds , of-Middlesex , Hospital , for oxalic acid , suger of lead , corrosive sublimate , Prussic acid , and tor arsenic , not a trace of either of which was discoverable , and Mr Corfo , who is the resident physician , was ef decided opinion that deceased bad died of natural disease ofthe heart , which he said in many instances left internal appearances not easily distinguishable from those caused by metallic poisons . Mr Wakley commented on the great importance to the establishment of guilt or innocence of chemical analysis , and pathological researob in pott mortem examinations , ordered bv Coroners to arrive at the true cause of death . The jury returned a verdict of' Natural Death . '

( From our own correspondent . ) Dobus , Nor . 15 . The cloudiest day has its gleam of sunlight , and in this sorrowing ^ ' Tale of tears , ' there are pleatantrest ing places wherein the stricken heart can linger a moment in peace , and concentrate its still remaining enereies forcoraingstruggles ; but , alas . itwould seem that tnere ia no hope for luckless Ireland , not »> oii tary rav of succour or enjoyment to irradiate the festirmg cabin of the wretched Irish peasant . Every post

      brines fresh intelligence of acts of oppression and cruelty on the part of the Irish landlords , and of revolting deeds of retaliation on the side of the goaded and maddened pauper peasantry . Extermination coeson bravely in the South , and * clearances to a fearful amount have been effected indifferentdistnets of the island ; blood has again crimsoned the coil ; the flag of Whiteboyism is . once more flying in the valeaof Munster , and the people publicly avowHhat for every cabin levelled by the agent and the bailiff , a human life will be sacrificed in expiation ofthe cruel deed ; and ' wherevcrjthe rich man dares to trample on the rights ' of the poor man , the terrors of the law shall not prevent the' wild justice of revenge' from takinits course . Nor can one blame the wretched

      g people for feeling and speaking in this manner . God knows there is none can more deeply deplore the px « istence of such a frightful state of things than I do . I would not wi // ing / y hurt a singfe hair of tha veriest rascal in existence ( I mean by covert or trtacherouB ways ) , and my seul sickens at the recital of the harrowing crimes perpetrated by my nnbappy country ^ men—yet I declare before Heaven , I cannot , and 1 do not , blame them for their d « eds . Human nature could notalways brook what those people have beer , compelled to endure . The very worm that crawls the earth will tarn on its persecutors ; and why should men , christians , ai d brothers , be expected to remain licking for ever the remorseless band that pins them in the dust f People may rant and rave about the

      bloody propensities of the 'Wild Hirish . ' Others will ascribe these things to the ' sp irit of Popery , ' and the teaching of political priests . All wrong , my friends ; the Celt may be warm in his impulses , and rash in his moments of excitement , but he is not naturally a Thug or an assassin . ¦ ¦ > ' ...... The priests do not love Saxon land , nor cherish affection for British laws , nor those by whom these laws are dispensed—yet they do not preach the doctrine of retaliation . I never heard a Catholic priest adopt for his text' an eye for art eye , and a toeth for a tooth '—nor is there an ? reservation in favour of those who spill Sassanagh or heretic blood ! Ne ; 'tis the tyranny of man against his fellows that drives the Irish peasant to desperation . 'Tis oppression

      whets his appetite tor blood ; and 'tis deep misery alone that nerves his arm , when he dutches the pike or waves the firebrand over the house or hnegard of his destined victim . Little he cares how that hardhearted agent , or this merciless bailiff ' says hi * prayers . ' He only feels tbat himself and his children are tho victims of their capacity or their neglect ; and though , as it often happens , his I y rant may be * one of the ould stock , ' he feels the lash not the less acutely ; nor are his aspirations for vengeance less fervid and deep-rooted . And these things will continue . Tbey know little of Ireland or her situation , who imagine tbat coercive measures , martial law , military encampment , or police patrols , will restore peace to a torn and dhtrncled land , er lull info rest the wild

      spirit which has been latterly evoked . A proclamation , or as it is dubbed— 'An Admonitory Address , " to the people of Limerick , Clare , Tipperary , and other counties of Ireland , has been issued by His Excellency Lord Clarendon , on the 9 th , which is expectedto arrest the progress of insubordination in the districts referred td and make the outcast peasant submissive to , if not contented with , whatever injustice and indignities to which he may be subjected . But we would fain warn the government that this will never do ; and we would impress upon them the fact , tbat more substantial , more beneficial means , must be put into requisition , or matters will every day' mend wone' in Ireland . Riot Acta will not satis fy the cravings of hunger , nor will an additional

      police force , quartered on an already exhausted country , coax perishing millions into servile submission to the caprices and persecutions of heartless landlords and fleecing agents . Persecution must cease . The depopulating system must be abandoned . The people must be fed . Employment roust be found for the able-bodied millions , ar . d an efficient provision made for those too old or too infirm te partake of the benefits of useful employment . The peas-. nt must not be hunted from his cabin to die in the peatship , or linger out a tew miserab ' e years amid the swamps and icebergs of Canadian pine-wood ' . The Irishman mu * t be ado wed to' live' on bis own native sod , and he must be made to feel that he has an interest in the peace and prosperity of the

      country , and that everything in creation was not intended for the sole luxury and gratification of his relentless taskmaster . Let government adopt these principles , or if the present Ministry find themselves incompetent to set about this Reform , let them give way to others—for men can still be found amongst Britons , able and willing to save the country from tbe perils with which she is threatened . Let them treat poor Paddy aa a fellow subject—aa a brother , and let them forget tbat his blood is of the hot , wild stream ofthe Celt , and that when hegoes to pray . be invokes the' Blessed Mary , ' and kisses the crucifix or 'Lamb of God . ' What need honest Englishmen care what branch of the great human family we belong to ; and if the peasant be damn'd for his peculiar

      religious tenets , John Bull will sot be responsible bef re heaven . Give ns justice ; we ask not charity ; we crave not your indulgence . Treat us as men and as brothers , and Irish crime will exist no longer , nor will our fair land continue ( as it unfortunately may be termed to-day , ) ' afield of blood . ' The last week has been a busy time in Dublin . Meetings , conclaves , talking!—Och , indeed , if talking could be of benefit to Ireland , there would not be so happy a people on the face of the earth . The newspapers will give you full particulars abo- ^ t these assemblies , what they did , and what they did not ; but they will not tell you ofthe indignation of those who trusted in those men , and expected that they would , at least , exhibit a bold front , speak like men .

      zealous for the welfare of their country , and show to the world that the time had arrived when , flinging prejudice and minor feelings to the winds , tbey would demand justice for their common land , and insist that their fellow-countrymen should not be left another year , pining in tho pangs of hunger , or exposed to the thousand ills under which they have groaned for aees . But this they did not do . They met and bandied compliments , and talked of tenant right , and differed about straws , and separated , and nm nothing but made themselves ridiculous ; and left the fools who reposed trust in them , cursing their stupidity and ignorance , and praying that fate or providence might send a man of mind and spirit amongst tbe millions , who would show them the road to liberty , and lead

      them on it honestly and fearlessly , and desert not the sacred cause until victory would be the recompeno'i of honest daring , or a bloody bed bo spread where men might lie down in honour , and sleep in peace for ever . On Wedesday'Jast , there was a meeting of' Young Icelanders' in the Pillar-room of the Rotunda . It was ,. indeed , a sorry affair enough , and compared even with prior gatherings ofthe same clique , exhibited a considerable falling eff , both in number and respectability . There was less talk , too , ancnt « physical' matters than usual , and the fustian rigmarole about' flaming scimitars , ' and' gory beds . ' and ' rushing steeds , ' and Sparta , and Bannockburn was doled out in very economical quantities . Tho of

      row John Reynolds ^ goblet happiness , which he has been kissing since the last election , is about to be dashed from his lips , and the much-admired initials , 'M . P ., ' arc to be struck off from his old ' signmanual . ' On Friday , the 12 th instant , MessrsGrogan and Hamilton entered into the due recognisancesfor tho prosecution of a petition against honest John ' s return as member of Parliament for this city , and it is tho opinion ef most people that this petition will ba successful . John , himself , affects to treat the natter with derision , but I much fear ' out' ho must walk . And more ' athe pity truly .

      bora brave , generous , stout-hearted , and manly , minded fellow , is the same John Reynolds . He is not a man of straw . He is no place-beggar ; and though he is a deadly and powerful antagonist of the Young Ireland bantlings , I verily believe , if matters arrived at that crisis to-morrow , John Reynolds would not shrink from shedding his blood for his country . He would make a valuable member of Parliament , and would be more effective , as an advocate for Irish rights , and a champion in Ireland ' s cause , than half a hundred ofthe noodles and doodles by whom wo aro represented (?> in the Imperial Senate .

In fact , he Irish peasantry have never been 'disarmed / so to speak .

It would be so it those aws werereenacted to-morrow . Some thonmnc ^ standsi pf aimj m ; nut Ko ™« ., ted from the peasantry , but twenty

Employ them , feed them , teach them to be peaceable , not by coercion or cruelty , but by convincing them that you are sorry for past misdeeds , and that , m future , you mll w ; c-Hrnise them as ehi'Mren , as fellow men-sutyectsof the same crown , aid equally entitled , as you are , to the profits of tbeir own industry , and the rights , and immunities , and privileges of British subjects .

      uona vaiouiFDL unnnBRS . The following fresh murders are reported by the Limerick Chronicle , of tbe 13 th instant : — On Friday evening , at the early hour of seven ocloeir , two ariried men , whose faces were blackened , to avoid recognition , suddenly entered the house of John Ryan , steward and bailiff to Sir Mathew Harrington , Baronet , within a quarter of a mile of the village of Murroe , and in the neighbourhood of a police station . They cried oat when inside the door , ' heads down / and swore that tbey would have the life of Ryan , at whom they imtnedl . ately presented . He caug -bt hold otst Mend of the nam * of Tucker , who happened to be in the house , and placed him between tbe two armed men and himself . A short struggle ensned , and , when they had forcibly disengaged Tucker from Ryan , the latter grasped a chair to defend himself ; and the faithful wife , throwing herself between

      to save h . r husband ' s life from the deadly weapon , received the contents of a gnn-ibot close under her left breast , wbich passed out through her hack , and hilled the poor woman on the spot . The distracted husband then rushed to tho adjoining room , whore a gtm was kept for his protection , and when he came out found the murderers had disappeared , and the only object before him was the bleeding corpse of his unfortunate partner . The horrors of this atrocity are aggravated by the ctrcumstftr . ee of three young children bsing left motherless , the youngest not four months born , and wbich Mrs Ryan had only put from her breast when rushing- to Bare her husband . Byan ' g bouse , at Murroa Wood , nat burnt down by incendiaries last year , and he had also received threatening notices . An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon upon tbe body , and a verdict of ' Wilful Murder returned against some person or

      persons unfcnwn . ' Mr Richard U . Bayly , a most useful public man , % most extensive land agent , chairman of the Ntnagh Colon , ise ., was shot this evening . as he was proceeding from Nenagb to his residence at Balltacloufth , He was aecompanied by his brother-in-law , Jlr Heard , Mr Baylj ' s mouth is dreadfully shattered , tbe slags penetrated his flesh , and great fears are entertained tbat tba wouitds are mortal . Mr Heard ' s bead was grazed with a ball . The utmost sympathy is felt for Mr Bayly . A ganger , named Smith , was barbarously murdered at the Ballybropby station ofthe Casbelline ; his brains having been knocked out with a hatchet . The alleged cause of tbo murder is tbat Smith had endeavoured to reduce tbe wages ef the men employed on tbat part of tbe line . Ballybropby is within sis miles oi Roscrea , and on the borlors of tbe county of Tipperary .

      MCBDEB OF JUJcB iUHON . A correspondent of tbe Evmvg Mail states tbat Far . rell , committed to Rotscommon on suspicion of being concerned in tbe murder of tbe late Msjor Mabon , died ot f ever oa Thursday , the gaol is described as crowded to excess . The Lord-Lieutenai t has issued an address , in which he appeals to tbe gentry , the farmers , and the industrious peasantry , to aid his efforts to sap * press the system of terror which exists in the country ; and announces his intention , by everv means in his power , ' to suppress the wicked spirit which now disturbs the public peace , and retards the social improvement of the country . '

      MORE IRISH LANDLORDISM , A correspondent of the Cork Examiner , writing from Ballyhooly , under the date of Nov . 6 , gives an account of a . clearance which took ^ place in that locality a short time since , by which sixty-six human beings have been deprived of home and shelter . ' It appears , tbat the person to whom the rent'is paid is John Courtcnay , Esq ., of Ballyedmond ; and his agent isa Mr Champion , of Bushy Park . This good and liberal agent visited Castlebla a few days ago , and teld some of those who bad the misfortune ofJivifij ? there , that he hoped they would provide some other abode for the future , and if not , tbat ha would , on bis next visit , throw down their hovels . '

      STATE OF THE COUNTRY . Orders have been issued to gather in policedetach * ments wherever men can be spared , on the frontiers of Tipperary and Limerick . They will be distributed hereafter as soon as arrangements respecting a co-operative military force are completed . An old friend , Captain Rock , who was supposed to be buried in the same grave with tho tithes and tithe-proctors , looks green again . He has shifted from tbe Galfees to Connaught , and by no means appears to be improved in orthography . The

      captain published and posted a notice on the chapeldoor of Creagh . calling upon the people to assemble on Wednesday at the workhouse , and demand food or labour . Vengeance was denounced against the hand which dared disturb the proclamation . Tha catholic curate , the Rev . Mr Coen , disdained tbe threat , tore down and trampled en the notice , and cautioned his parishioners against a violation of the laws . . Thereupon the captain posted a second notice , full of dire threats and very bad orthography .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION . # The principal' topic of talk' at the weekly meeting was , the opposition to Mr J . Reynolds , as member for Dublin ; and Mr J . O'Connell , in imitation of his father , pledged himself to die on the floor of the house before he would permit a Coercion Bill to be cartied through . ' The iroitatien , unfortunately , reminds one of the sequel . It will te a sad thing for Ireland if its salvation depends on tho redemption of John ' s promise . Rent , £ 37 . 10 s . 6 Jd .
