Thave not the same report to make with regard ‘to news, this week, as I had in my last letter. For some days, there have been symptoms of a ftesh | outbreak im the neighborhood of the late insurrec. | tion ; the laborers quitted their employment, and | all business was at a stand still, On Friday last, | in consequence of a report being abroad that ano- therattack was meditated, the military were under arms all night; however, all remained quiet tll Monday evening, when a camp was discovered in the hills of Slievenamon, and that beacon fires were blazing everywhere; whilst at Waterford, ‘the battlements were removed from one of the Bridges, previous to destroying the bridge, for the pur- pose of impeding the progr of the troops. Some skirmishing has taken place also, at the latter jixce, ‘between the insurgents and police, **tth loss on both sides. Curraghmore Castle, thgseat of the Marquis of “Waterford, which is defendafd by twenty men and three @wivel guns, day and night, was attacked, and it is Stated that the guns have been captured. Whilst, at Carriok-on-Suir, a general rising of the peasantry all round the country took place; and on the evening of ‘the 12th, « large party marehed to the attack of the constabulary barracks at Glenbower. about eight miles from Clonmel. The police were packing their luggage, and preparing to seek refuge in Carrick, when the in- @urgents fired on them; the police retreated to the Darracks, which they fortified. The leader. a respect- able young man, now cawe up to a window, and put in his hand to fraternize with the police, (in the same way as Smith O'Brien did) ‘he police kept him in conyersution till another party of police, who were on their way to Carrick, arrived) When the insurgents saw them, they immediately left the barrack, and went Bpavd ¢ewanded their arms; whereupon, the cons’ Die of the party, to gain ume, read them a lecture, and ‘then mece for the barracks, The vther party pursued, when a desperate fight took place, those inside the barracks having joined their comrades. They all then Fetreated to the barracks. Some military and police subsequently arrived, and drove off the asrailants.— Four or five of the leaders in this attack wore the uni- form of the 82 Club, The police have fled from all the Out-stations. It it stated that the insurgents have ee cups formed, namely, at Newtown, Curragh- more, and Pilltown. Doheny is said to have taken the command of the Waterford division, whose present xendezvous is at Portland; and the Tipperary division is under the command of O’Mabony, at Sievenamon. General McDonald bas again gone down to tuke the command of the troops, and has applied tora reinforce- ment of urtillery and cavairy, which can well be spared the armed force at present in Ireland, at the posal «cf the government, being 50000 men. The Cork avd Waterford mails were on Tuesday mght stopped, but both, atter a litule time, were uliowed to roceed. Nine scouts and sentinels of the insurgents ave been cuptured. ‘The preparations for the special commission at Clon- mel are rapidly hastening. ‘Tne only persons yet mamed for trial'are Messrs, Smith O’Brien, Meaghe:, and McManus, the Chuaitist leader. Mr. Duty wil probably, alo, be inciuded Superintendents and ‘others at the mines. who have been calied on by the crown, buve visited the parties now in Kilmainham, and 730 were amongst the in-urgents for the purpose of Adentifics tion, and have failed to recognise Mr. Meagh- er. Mr. Dic anus is said to be the leader who called on the police at Muilivahoue to surrender It is thought by come people that Mir. Smith O'Brien was affeoted iu'his mind when inthe South. It is gene- Tally suppored that Mr. Haipin, Seeretary to the Con- federation, has “peached,” und is prepacing evidence for the sp: cial commission. Lord Joon Ruscell has been summoned as witness on Smith O'Brien’s triai,to prove a letter written by hhis Lordship to Lord Melbourne, wherein he expressed aw desire ivr 5,000 men, (physical foree,) to force the guinistry to curry reform. A deputation, consisting of the Marquises of Down- hire ard Wostmeath, the Baris of krne and Lanes- oro’, the Dean of St. Patrick, &c., waited on the Lord Licutene nt.on Wednesday, with a dectaration against ‘the repeal agitation and expressive of 4 solemn deter- gnination to maintain the union, und signed by 80.000 persons, includ ng 120 peers, 830 deputy lieutenants, and 1000 mwegietrates The following declaration is in course of signature, against (0 new movement now going forward for the trienvia! periiament:— “We, tle undersigned, inhabitants of Ireland, and sabjects of crown, have olverved with alacm end regret the efforts ; ical agitation, before we have kad uf the Inst, resuitiog as it did ia ty pronounce an jal sicang of the pariiament het disuppreve of ite teing urged forward ‘opinion in Irela muder prec t circumstances, beieving that the material prot werity of }reland will be best prowoted by a cessation of political excitemcn’; and we hereby pledge oureelves to disourage the scien of this or any other polidieal measure, by all Cur power: ‘The in umbered estates bill has begun to act.

You will, however, doubtless be compen- gated fo: this, by the extent und interest of the Jetters «hich I transmit you, received from Italy and Gerisuny. The events which are in progress in those countries, are indeed big with impor- tance.

Similar erections are made on the north bi of the Seine, near the Bastile, and variety of other places, in and around the capital. Within the sonia. itselt upwards of 60,000 troops are and will be maintained in an attitu as to be ready for im- mediate action, besides as ore in ite immediate precincts. Immense stores of sumunition are depo- tited in the Palace of the Assembly. the Eoole Militaire, the Invalides, the Tuileries, the Palais Royal, the Ho- tel de Ville, and. in short, in all the publio buildings. Cannon are also planted in such positions as, without de tly expored to view, enable them to be ight to bear at a moment on all important points, Each of the pillars of the vestibule of the Chamber conceals @ cannon behind it, which has only to be removed s couple of feet on one side or the other, to enable it to sweep with grape the Bridge and Place de la Concorde. You see. therefore, we are well pocpened ferns emer- gency: and when you remember that with these im- menre preparatl ‘all the ordinary laws are suspend- <d, and that we live under the control of an unlimited dictatorship, you will nt wonder at the profound tran- ity of Paris. 6 theatres and public at present, present an appearance of being tolerably filled: but they are still eu by the ee nee eubsidy. which is id them every fortnight on the strict condition of their being kept open.

Grisi and Mario, for the first time since their celebrity, are not engaged. Lablache is the only name of eminence among the men, and Mademoieelle Persiani and Costellan ameng the ladies, Some new artists of both sexes are to be brought from Italy, whose demands on the score of salary will not be 80 onerous a8 those of the former company. It is, how- ever, doubted, notwithstanding the announcement, whether the theatre will be open at all. Yesterday evening, at eight o'clock, a multitude of carriages filled the approaches of the hotel of the Pre- sident ot the Council. It was the reception day of Gen. Cayaignac. The crowd was very great, and it was with difficulty one could move about. Lord Normanby, the Chargé d’ Affaires of Sardinia and Spain, M. de Lamartine, the President of the As- sembly, all the ministers, members of all opinions, many generals, and a great number National Guards, were. present.’ General Cavaignac, in plain clothes, and wearing the cross of the legion of honor, did the honors of the salons with s courtesy full of dignity, without sacrificing perfect amenity. So soon as a lady was announced, the General conducted her to his mother, and after a few words of politenoss returned to Cid | before the fire, where he conversed for a long time with Lord Normanby, Gen. LaMoiroiére and several members of the Assembly. A grand military orchest: jaced in the garden executed during the evening waltzes and maro‘es. This was the first time that music was introduced at these receptions, and the ladies appeared to be particularly pleased with the innovation. Among them we raw Lady Normanby, Madsmes de Lamartine, Senard, Marrast, Trouve; Chauvel, &c About 10 o’clock the report of a musi the garden, caused some agitation. A pt tors went towards the spot from wh proceeded, and another part to the salon in which wos Gen. Cavagnac. It was soon learned that no ac- cident bad happened. A sentinel had inadvertantly dropped his musket, and the musket, in falling on the ground, had gone off At midnight there was still a considerable number in the salons. Since my last despatch Austria has accepted the mediation of England and France, in the question of nortbern Italy. This aeceptance is accompanied with certain’ conditions which have not been made public, but which are understood to be the retention of the nominal. if not the actual sovercignty of the Lombardo-Venitian provinces by Austria, granting them, however, constitutional charters, and the pay- ment by Sardinia of the expenses of the war. Panis, Sept. 14, 1848. The Bourse and Money Market. The coupon of the halt yearly dividend of the Five per Cents was detached on the 7th, and the price, accordingly, was reduced by the amount of the dividend, 2.50. A decree, which appeared at the latter end of last week, allowing the share- holders of the Lyons railroad a further delay until the 15th, to declare their option as to the paying up their whole shares, and obtaining a larger amount ot rente by way of bonus, has naturally induced some sales, and tended to lower prices. This decree has had a bad effect on the market ; it was not anticipated; no one had heard it mentioned. It was presented, discussed and voted, without having been put on the order of the day. The capitalists are alarmed at surprises; and this has led them to apprehend others, of a similarkind. Be- sides this, they see in the meaevre a symptom of the penury of the Treasury. ‘The acceptarce of the Anglo-Franco mediation, by Austria, has hpa a favorable effect on the Bourse, and tended to support prices. ‘The new loan—the coupons of which will be detach- ed after the payment of the second instalment, that is the 20th of this month—bas been much in demand during the week. The advantage of selling old Fives, and buying into this stock, is now beginning to be rained in all ine eeplanade of seen. The Threes have also beeome the object of numerous operations, for a rise entered into, with a view to the coupon of December. The improvement of this stock is favorable tothe holders of Treasury bons, the discount of which has been materially diminished within the last ten days, ‘The pacific news from Austria has much improved all the Italian funds, and also the Belgian. In general securities, partaking of a commercial character, there pas been little, if anything. done The bank published its bulance sheet for the week on Saturday. Its posi- tion continues to improve ‘The bullion has again in- creased in Paris and the branch banks 8} millions ‘The protested bills have decreased one million.

It has paid by anticipation the twenty-five millions which it tcok in the new loan, This amount bas been car- ried to the eredit of the Treasury, which, notwith- standing this accession, only stands as a creditor tor 8h34 millions, The September dividend onthe Five per Cents will, however, be paid, and under the ad- ministration of the present Minister of Finance, M. Goudcbaux, the financial position of the country, in the absence of any serious cutbreak or unforesven oo- currence, is looked forward to vith much confidence. Ihave little or no change to report as yet in com- mercial matters. Some statements of purobases of wool toa somewhat considerable amount, by houses in the north of France, have been made. but they are to be received with caution, and even if true to the extent atserted, by no means prove anything like a regular return to a bealthy state of trade. They are rather speculations arising out of the favorable state of the market for such purchases, than the usual ope- rations of ordinary commerce, ‘The following is the list of the week’s prices:— 8Per Cts, 6Per Cts. 6 Per Cts, Treaswry Bank old. loan. 1.

The Armistice between Prussra and Denmark—Ef- fects of it upon the Public Mind— Postponement of its Ratification by the National Parliament —Fall of the Heckscher Cabmnet— Excitement and Threatening Commotions— The Italians, §c. Your readers are probably already acquainted with the particulars of the a:mistice entered into between Denmark and Prussia. A fine piece of diplomatic cunning! The conditions of this armistice would make it appear that the Ger- mans were entirely iouted and deteated in Schles- wig-Holstein; what the valor of General Wrangel has laboriously and at great sac:ifices obtained for the nation, 1s given away by the negotiations of the Prussian Cabinet. You will have noticed that it is to be in forew for seven monthe—jut long enough to keep the Germans inactive during the winter, when the advantages are all on their side, when the ships and islands of the Danes are unavailable, and a speedy and complete victory over the insolent foe certain But I will not comment upon the condit ons of the treaty itseif—they are known to all your readers, and peak for themselves ; any one who has the least know- | ledge of the condition of the two belligerent nations, and of the nature of the war oarried on between them, is left to form bis or opinion of the shame which is cast upon the whole German nation by this piece of statesmanship, of which a common school boy in the States would be ashamed to be the author, But the rarrantabl Prussian ip this ould make every German blush—what hag ich excitementin the pub\e mind in the south art of Germ stated in my last, that the Presi- he Cal Heokscher, dvolared to the N: it owing to the ion wan Gove ry negotiations Were carried on, a tow t devia. Phe resolution of the Parliament in this thority assumed by the i is whi matter, were unavoidable. But when the pa: ticular. of the armistice were made known, it appeared that neither the National Parliament nor the Executive Power had been recognized; the negotiations were car- ried on between the crown of Denmark aud the king of Prussia, in the name of the * German Band" Now the “ German Bond’? is en imetitution which has lon, of ase@ to exist; which tne act of the Parliamen’ creating the central ‘power and the exeoutive, anajbi- lated; and we are therefore to infer that the king of Prussia acted entirely on his own responsibility. and without any author ty, hatever from any existing power. In the act of 28th J the National Parlia- ment resolved, that “in making pas and declaring war, the Reichsverweser and Parliament should have supreme jurisdiction ;” and the sole right to declare war, or make peace—or what is the ram negotiations—was thus vested in Parii Reichsverweser, In the face of ja three months after its enactment, the king of Prussia takes upon himself to declare war or to make ‘ace, on his own hook ; after he bed openly, oficial- acknowledged the supremacy of the Parliament and the validity of the laws parsed by that body. This is a specimen of the “concord’’ of the German empire, of the “glory” of the German pation, and of the end. Jess and innumerable blessings promised b: end cabinets of the several stater, thereprerentativer of the “sovereign"’ peop! fort. After the armistice bad been read to the Parlia- ent, committee wes appointed to report upon it, d the epeaker of thia committee recommended that the Nationa) Parliament refuee to ratify the treaty until a more minute ard thorough examination might be made. This was resolved by the pitiful majority of seventeen ! 238 voting jor and 221 against the resolu. tion. Little as this majority is, the resolution had the effect of causing the ministers to resign Heokechor had recommendedtthe ratification, and when this was refused, he threw up his commiselo was followed by the whole cabinet, every minister and secretary arking to be allowed to withdraw. The Reioh«verweser socepted the resignation, and appointed Dablmann to form a new cabinet. who, bowever, has been unable, to the prerent moment, to find the proper men. V. ob Bluin. (members of the extreme left in Parliament.) V. Mayern. from Vienna, Mr. Wurm, from Hamburg, and Simon. from Breslwu, are spoken of as probably to receive the appointment, but it is as yet very uncertain. It is impossible to give a true and certain reason for the unwarrentable, unwise, and dangerous mode of action of the Prussian government It is very possi- ble, that in this instance also, similar to the Italian affair, (in which Austria has acknowledged and per- mitted the English and French intervention,) a for- eign por ted its influence ; I,mean not 60 much Russiaas England. The same great arbiter, or rather meddler, that caused the copfusio: in Rome, in Naples, in Sicily, in Turin, may have been busy in tangling the thread of diplomatic negotiations at Ber- lin, at Copechegen and Malmoe. England is certainly the greatest gainer by the armistice Its commerce bas serionaly suffered by the blockade of the German ports; and it bas long been anxioui Hy waiting for a dismemberment of Pruesia from the lverein, so that it might be able to overflood Germ: with its manu- factnred goods, It is England’s poliey to sever the north from the routh ; the north wishes free trade, the south not exist without protection of ite manu- factories, so long as England jealously excludes every- thing it has to sell. But be the caune of this armis- tice what it will, its effect is fraught with danger to the whole fabric of the new system. The excitement is immense in the south—meetings are held. and some districts bave gone so far as to demand of their ropre- tentatives in the Parliament. (who voted aj above resolution,) to lay down their comm! retire, in order toenable the people to send others in their place, who more fully represented the opinions of their constituents. This has been the case with Matthy and Fallati, the only two of the 28 Deputies from Wurtemberg, who voted against the resolution. The final vote whether the armistice shall be ratified or rejected. which will take place to-day or to-morrow, is expected with the greatest anxiety ; and serious de- monstrations are threatened should it be accepted Heoker, who was to emigrate for America on thd 20th of this month, will probably remain here now. in or- der to be present, if any occurrence should make a moze successful attempt at revolution possible Ata meeting held at Heilbronn yesterday, there were at least 5000 persons present, among whom about 400 young ladies, who took part in the patriotic proceed- ings, and proclaimed themselves as “republicans.” The whole meeting, which was addressed by several ete epeakere. among otbers Hentges. deputy from Heilbronn inthe Parliament, expressed itself in favor of a republic. Great events are in store for us—a revo- and only lution bloodier than the one of last March is certain to come, socner or later, perhaps in a few weeks. ag The Cholera in Europe.

The Judge at Chambers bas allowed this amendment or spe- cial count, to be added to the narr. The defend- ant contends that the order is not jus by the equities of the case. The opinion of the court, on granting @ new trial, shows that the law prefers the plaintiff's equities te the defendant's; if the plaintiff paid s consideration for the note before it full due to the then holder. why then should not the amendment be allowed? The defendant ia supposed now to have the advantege. not on tie whole law and merits of the care, but on the fact that the narr is on the com- mon counts only. The new code does not justify the refusal of the right of @ party by reason of a defect in his pleading. unless the pleading may have misled the adverse party; indeed, the whole spirit of sections 145, 4 161, whieh apply to old suits. favors ing it even doubtful. under sec- ther an amendment is necessary; but if , the order is not sup} in any way by the new code, | it was made according to our rules previously existing, | as well as to the amendment iteelf, as to the terms (as | to costs) upon which the amendment was allowed. There is nothing in this case to show that the defend- ant has beep misled an to the plaintifl’s cause of action, or that plaintiffe seek to introduce jew cause. It seems to us that the order was proper, and should be afirmed. Order at Chambers affirmed with costs. At CHamurr jofore Judge In, m.—In Re Henvy Wright.—His honor Judge Ingraham granted a writ of babeas corpus on the petition of the aunt of Henry Wright, directed to Mr. Blount. bis master, to bring him before the judge, in order to have him dis- charged from his apprenticeship. It appeared in evi- dence that he was put into the Orphan asylum by his sister, in 1836, and then represented to be only nine years old, otherwise, he would not be received. In 1639, three years afterwards, he was bound apprentice to Mr. Blount, a respectable house and sign painter, to continue with him until be arrived at the age of twenty-one years. He was bound, in accordance with the representations made by his sister, that is, that he was but nine years of age whem he was put into the esylum, and twelve when he was bound, and that con- sequently he would have nino years toserve. The application was to have him discharged on the ground that be was ten years when he left at the asylum, and that he bad attained his full age during the cu rent month, The family Bible, in which the date of his birth was entered, was produced to show that he was bern in 1827. Parole evidence was also given in support of it. Om the part of the Trustees of the Orphan Asylum, and the master, “it was shown that the regulations of tue house were to admit no child over the age of nine years ; that the usual formalities to ascertain his age were gone through, that he was re- presented us of that age. that a fraud had been com- mitted on the Institution, and that they, the Trustees, if the boy were discharged, would, however innocently, be guilty of perpetrating # fraud on Mr. Blount, the master. Under the circumstances, it was contended, by counrel, that his honor ought not to discharge him particularly ashe bad but a year toserve, and there was no complaint against the master.

ELECTION OF ELECTORS. [From the Washington Union, Sept. 29 ] The Baltimore Clipper of yesterday republishes the act of Congress which we published on Wedaerday, eptitled “ An act to ertabiish # uniform time for hold- ing elections of President and Vice President of the United States. It states that thi blem which has excited som ene prevents “the electoral votes of Mas ne, and South Carolina from being lost at the ap- ching presidential election, in consequence of the pri State laws of the two first named requiring thata ma- jority of all the votes cart shall bo necessary-to elect, and from the fact that the Legislaturejof South Caro- lina, whieh appoints the electors, will not asvemble until after the day appointed by the act of Congress, for the election of electors.” This act of Congress directs “ that the electors of President and Vice Pre- sident shall be appointed in each State on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of Novem- ber of the year in which they are to be appointed " It also provides, “ That cach State, may by law provide for the the filling of any vacancy or vacancies which may ocour in its college of electors, when such col- lege meets to give its electoral vote’? And it provides also, that “When any State shall have held en elec- tion for the purpose of choosing electors, and shall fail to make a choice on the day aforesaid, then the electors may be appointed on a subs quent day, in such a manner as the Stat sball by law provide.” The Clipper states, that “tl Legirlature of South Carolina wili meet on the fourth Monday of November, (the 27th,) which will allow ample time for the clectors to assemble on the first Wednesday (the 6th) cf December. The «lection will ‘be held on the 7th of November, as the law reqaires,in Maseachusetts and Maine; when, if there be no choice, there may be other trials, or the Legislature may dis- pense with the mojority jaw. and require a plurality of votes alone to elect, or may presoribe the mode in which electors sball be chosen. We have no fear abcut South Carona; tor we have no doubt that her Legisiaiure will appoint electors. If m0 provision be actually made in the electoral laws of Massachusetts and Mwned the Legislature may be called, to supply the omission; but we do not very well see wherein the restriction exists that the election must be made“ en any day not longer than thirty-four days before the first Wednerday of December” In fact, between the time fixed vpon in the last act of Congress, and the fir-t Wednercay of December. we cannot make out, in the approaching election, ae many as thirty four days.

By aid of the perfo- rating machine, an abstract of news, or any other in- tolligence. may be prepared on a voyage across the ovean, or while travelling in any ordinarily quiet con- yeyance, where there is no telegraph; so that instantly on arriving ata telegraphic station, the composition desirable to be transmitteg.can be sent at once with the rapidity meutioned above, and with much less ex- pepre than at present. Another machine on exhibi- ton at Mr. Bain's rooms, is called the Key Telegraph.
