(From the London Gazette, Nov. 1.] A crowd of scientific and distinguished persons ‘00; ted this forenoon at tho oiliee of the Sub- ‘ Telegraph Company, in Cornhill, to wit ess the opening of the electric communication direct between Great Britain and the continont of Europe, via France and Belgium. Tae cempany have bad “o contend with much difficulty in carrying out their intention, in consequence of tho opposition offered to their plans by the I'rench government. This, we are happy to say, has been peels removed, and by aline of wires (just completed) laid down along ¢ old coach road between London and Dover, via Doncaster and Canterbury, in connection with the submarine cable across the straits of Dover, instan- taneous communication is obtained ‘between London, Paris, Sweden, Trieste, @ravow, Odessa and Leg- torn. We were informed the wires were being car- ried onward to St. Petersburg, also to India, and into the interior of Africa, Several splendid ma chines were exhibited to the gratification of the guests, and messages sent to Paris, and answors re- ceived within one minute. {From the London Times, Nov. 2.] There wero many persons present yesterday, at Cornhill and Paris, and yot there were compara- tively few of them who could not remomber the starting of the first seagoing steamer—but some, rrhaps, who could not recollect the inanguration of he first railway, and not one who might not be able to call to mind the time when I'araday first Gompelied the sly spark to twinkle forth from the reluctant magnet. The interest attachod to tho proceedings yesterday arose from the circumstances that, though a telegraphic communication has existed for some time between London and Paris, by means of the submarine electric telegraph, in those on the Northern of France. yet that this was hill, by the wires of the Submarine Telegraph Com- ny, and the European and American Telegraph iompany, which have laid down a lice of wires along the mailcoach road from London to Dover. where it is connected with the submarine cable, an thence is brought into communication with tho French line to Paris. The Submarine Telegraph Company originated in a concession gained from the French government, chiefly through the oxer- tions of Mr Brett, and which was granted in 1819, to last for 10 years, on condition that it was carried out at the end of October, 1851 It will be recollected that an experimental ulated wire was laid down across the Channel to test the practicability of the scheme, which answered the uurpose and proved the thing was feasible, though esata tae hours afterwards.) Thereupon the company applied to the public for money, but with- out effect, and several capitalists who were asked for funds, also refased. Mr. Crampton, the well- nown engineer, whose locomotive obtained the Council medal at the Great Exnibition, then under- took to carry out the project, in doing which he ~risked not only his professional reputation, but in- curred the chief pecuniary responsibility. The line ‘was succesfully laid down in time to save the con- cession It has stood for a year, without tho slightest deterioration, tho action of sea-water, the storms o: purchase of a ship’s anchor dragged across it ina gale of wind. Mr. Crampton was assisted in the undertaking by Mr. Wollaston, the other engineor of the company, and the triumphant success of this first attempt may be the more readily appreciated when it is remembered that three distinct endeavors have since been made to lay down wires across tho Trish Channel, all of which have failed. Two of these have been complete failures, and the third fproject is still in so imperfect a state that its ulti- mate effisiency is at least problematical Mr. Brott ‘was the contractor for the line f:om London to Dover, Mr. Crampton (with Mr. Wollaston) oeing the engi- neer, and Mr. I’. Edwards one of the directors of the 0) ied out all the business arrangements in vonnes tion with the undertaking. At éue o’clock the offices of the company, at 30 Cornhill, were thrown open to all who took an interest in the proceedings. ‘A great number of persons looked in during tho day, which was ‘close’? holyday on the Stock Ex- change and on the Paris Bourse. ‘ On going up stairs into the instrument room, at 1 ©’clock, we found the French machine, invented by a whose name is so well known here, at work, in direct communication with Pai The appear ance of tho instrument is attract ; instead of the dials, with double needles, now so familiar to most ‘us in the ordinary “‘speaking”’ part of the electric telegraph, there isa small black arm working in Jerks from the centre of a white dial, so a3 to des- vcribe angles of 45 and 90 degrees, with a fixed ver tical line passing through the centre, perorming, ia fact, the action which any one walking pist the Admiralty might have seen in full play when the semaphore on the top was at work [he motion of the handle which governs the electric current, and tke motion of the arm are necessarily rotatory also, and the little arm moves round very quickly, indl- eating the letters by the various angles it forms with the centre line. The reason why this system was employed reflects some crediton the French government. It is well kaown that "the semaphore system was very extensively used in France, and, as the electric wires displaced these comparatively slow mears ef communication, the government, anxious thatthe employees under the old plan should not be thrown out of work, and that their skill and ‘experience should be made subservient to the uses of the State, adopted this rotating arm on the dials of the telegraphs, which perform in petto all the mo- tions of the old semaphores or signal-posts with arms. The French governwent had sent over this mo chine under the care of MM. Guichon and Dasha: being, no doubt, pardonably jealous of the tion of France in such matters, and anxious tha their own plan should be adopted on the new lino a3 it prevails from Calai: France; but whether it from the unfavorable character of the weather, jome other cause—tho extreme delicacy of the apparatus, and the difficulty of obtaining the proper baiance of power for it, wore suggested as a likely one—it did not seem very suc- cessful. Indeed, the French gentlemen in charge marine cable w: urrent in the wire. It is also to be observed that this machine was worked by a very large galvanic or thirty batteries of twelve plates each. Savoral the Vag hol was said not to be so satisfactory as that of Wheatetone’s. A wire having been se- cured for the ordinary double needle telegraph, af- ter the exchange of some preliminary tulk, the fol- lowing message wasreceived almost iastantaneously after}the announcement that the communication ‘was completely in working order, by me: French machine, from Paris to London: (Director Gencral of French Telegraphs) pt his compliments to the Hon.

The roply was, * Brassard.” Several other messages wore sent and answors ro ceived during the day, and when Wheatstone’s tole- graph was brought into play, the action on the wires seemed somewhat better. A good deal of confusion took place, as was vory izing betweon the various machines, and woe aro scarcely sure ifthe statement is correct, that Whi stone’s telegraph had a wire to itself, while it is quite certain that @ great deal of sposking went on with Calais to obtain a seperate wire, not only for Vhat telegraph, but for Brett’s printing telegraph, which was ties in operation arly in the day tho following morsage was sont to Paris.

Tho reckless adven- turers who infest the great cities of the Union, far from being warned by the fate of their unfortunate 0) appear to be only waiting for an oppor- tunity of reuewing the invasion with a botter pros- + of success. The design is openly avowed, and t isnot condemned by public opinion. The truth is, a great portion of the American people, intoxi- cated with prosperity, and lending jedy ear to the flattery of demagogues, firmly b t the empire of tho New Worid belongs to them; and they accordingly look with indulgent complacency upon the eflorts of their advanced guard of irregulars. Such a state of feeling gives great latitude to the | energy of these who are willing to take the ini- | tiative, and to encounter the risks ot an annex- ation campaign. American opinion does not scan very critically infractions of international right, and is fully prepared to adopt the ad- yantageous results which may be obtained by the marauding citizens of the Onion. ‘This process has already been twice gone through, at the expenso of a feeble and almost unresisting power. The annexation of Texas and the conquest of California originated in the sqgression of private adventurers upon the rights of Mexico. Their success was ap- plauded by their countrymen, and the executive of the United States was at length compelled to sup- port a movement so creditable to the enlightened patriotism of its authors. After such a precedent, it ig not surprising that the invaders of Cuba persist in their enterprize, confidently believing that a for- tunate conjuncture may at any time foree their | government to recognize and second their designs expeditions which last year the ports o! United States to agenil the territories of a friendl: power failed at every point. As thoy were not of suf- ficient force to meet the Spanish troops in the field, | whilst the Creole population refused to rise in their favor, the affair was spocdily finished; and the dis- comfiture of the /ildibusteros damped, for a time, the | enthusiasm of those who had projected and pre- pared the invasion. So complete and hopeless a | failure was, of course, regarded in official quarters in ite true light of a piratical incursion, and the federal government did not venture to counteni an outrage for which no excuse could be off: Nevertheless, despite all its fatal consequeac the adventure was not generally reprobated, ought to have been, by American opinion. The | assocaitions by which it was organized still sur- vive, and they include a large number of persons, who are said to have considerable funds at their | command. Their hopes have been revived by recent | events in Cuba, and although their future move- ments will probably be less precipitate than those of last year, it is certain that they are prepared to take advantage of any opportunity which ma: arige from the dissensions between the Spanis! government and its colonial subjects. The disaf- fected Creoles roceive assistance and uragement from the United States; their journals are printed in America, and are introduced by American | agents; and supplies of arms and ammunition have been furnished from the same quarter. In fact, | Spain has to deal not only with its own discon- | tented subjects, but also with the American sympa- | thizers, whe are most active in their hostility, and | who, whenever they are threatened, appeal to their | countrymen for moral support, and to the federal | governmont for protestion. Under such cirum- | stances, we can scarcely blame the Spanish authori- ties, at a moment when thoy are menaced with an insurrection in Cuba, for taking any precautions which may appear neceseary to repress foreign inter- | ference in the affairs of the island. It may or may | not be true that unnecessary and injudicious rigor £ | bas been used in proventing the landing of Ameri- can citizens at Havana; yet, all things con- | sidered, wo cannot condemn the Spanish go- vernment for exercising a right which it undoubted- | ly possesses, nor can we subscribe to the resolu- tions passed at indignation meetings at New Orleans and elsewhere. The President, however, seems to have been go far influonced by what has occurred as to have dispatched a man-of-war to Havana, to protect the American fing We shall be giad if it tures out that this step has been takon with the view of controlling American citizens, | rather than of coercing or intimidating the Spanish authorities; but it is clear that overy means wi!l be employed by the anti-Cuban party to implicate their | government in the matter, and to persaade the Americans that their flag has been insulted by the | officers of a European power. It is very far from | our intention to impeach the good faith of the ex- ecutive at Washington in these transactions. On the ‘contrary, we are disposed to believe that Mr. | Fillmore has done all that lay in his power to pre- vent the designs of the fillibusters from being car- ricd into execution. But, as has been seen on for- mer occasions, the moderation of the President is of little avail to restrain the aguresive propensities of | American citizens, or to keep within bounds the national instinct of acquisitiv gerated license of individual action which exists United States, owing to the enormous field open to the restless portion ot their popu- lation, has produced a habit of lawlessness, which is, to say the least, extremely dangerous to those countries which enjoy the. doubtful ad- vantage of territorial contiguity to the free and en- | lightened republic. In the case betore us, there is ® constant and a scarcely concealed conspiracy sgainst Spain, for which not a shadow of provoca- tion been given. The “Order of t1e Lone Ster”—as the aseoeiation of freebooters is roman- tically designated—carries on its operations in time of profound peace; and when the Spani government, naturally alarmed at demonstratiozs so unmistakably hostile, institutes precautions against their authors and abettors, attempts are made to raise a sry that injuries have been done to Americans which must be avenged by arms. It is | simply the fable of the wolf and lamb over again. Yet this flagrant wrong is sanctioned by the publie sentiment of the Union, and the pious moratists of | Boston and Philadelphia enter no protest against it- | Tho truth is, American people are too ap:to view these things with reference to their own politi- cal advantage, rather than to the strict rules of morality. They know that the Cuban creoles are an effete race, and they bslieve that Spain has strength to defend her colony. They also perceive that the acquisition of the island would bring with it the command of the Gulf of Mexico; and whilst {Southern politicians look to annexation to compensate the growing preponderance of | the North, and to restore the balance between | the free and slave States, all the adventurous | spirits of the Union are cager for the plunder, ex- | citement, and glory of a successful war. The prog | pect of such advantages is too much for America’ virtue, and overpswers tho better influences’ by which, under other circumstances, ¢0 moral and en- lightened a poople would have been guided. There is no reacon to suppose that the authors of the pro- sent movement have any sympathy with the Creoles of Cuba, or that thoy are anxious to aid in the emancipation of a race whom they despise ; and they certainly cannot be regarded as particularly zealous on behalf of the slave population of tho island. It is neither a political nor ® social propsgandism in | which the Order of the Lone Star is evlisted—the whole affair is simply a speculation, which may or may not turn out to be profitable, but for which, at any rate, no excuse can be found. Tho American people would do weil to reflect on the consequences which may follow from so flagrant = violation of law and right, and on tho just cause of offence which would be3given to European powers by the unpro- yoked invasion of Cuba. No S:ate, in modern times, has over been powerful enough to se: itself above ¢! law of nations with impunity; and even the boasted strength of republican institutions would fail in carrying out a policy of systematic violence and oppression. The statesmen of Amorica will, we doubt not, make every endeavor to avert the mischief which popular passion and private interes's may seek to bring about, and they may always rely on boing supported by the sounder portion of the community, as soon as tho tirst ebulition of na tional fecling is over.

The notorious instances which Amorios has shown of this focling within the last twenty years ought to be sufficient to arouse the suspicions of those Buropean powers which, from having trang atlantic porsessions, are deeply interested in Ameri- can attempts at territorial lieomeat. When the rebellion in Canada broke out, it was aided by American sym; ners, if not with the opon and direct approbation of the governmont at Wash- ington. certainly in @ covert way that was suffisient- i, icit. In Tams the revolutiva ageiast Muxivo was whollysvet on foot by American ot: whe | Bad catered the cowntey from the States; aad the | ish authorities to attempt to isolate Cuba from the Speedy transition from revolution to annexation which ocourred in that instance, sufficiently shows the intentions of the Americans towards the islard of Cuba. Had the ical invasion of Cuba. by Lopez preved \—had it resulted either in coxqueet or revolution—it would have been nothing more than a second edition of the Texas and Cuba would soon have been enrolled ag one of the States of the Union. As events turned out, the government at Washington could not but disavow any participation in the lawless enterprise. It is well known, however, that the United States have long meditated the acquisition of Cuba. Some time back a report was current that negotiations had been entered into to purchase the island from the Spanisrds. Nothing very authentic bhs been anede public on the subject, but thore is every reason to bel: aye ti such (8 a Urgerg gg < not actually commenced, was contemplates the government ofthe United States It would be a great error to suppose that thejlead- ing men in America are solely influenced by politi- cal sympathies in their revolutionarydesigos, or that | it is the pure love of republican institutions by | which they are prompted to disturb the peace of | other governments.

They think it easier to revolu: tionize a ceuntry, and then annex it, than to make | open war and acquire it by conquest, It is a more | stealthy, although a lesshonorable way, to achieve | their object. This policy, we believe, will be fouad | the key to the proceedings ofthe United States with | regard to Cuba. The expedition of Lopez failed, | but the intention to seize the island by means of | another pies descent upon it has not been a- bandoved; and it is well known that perpecations for the pur, are making in some of the Southern | by bonest vigor and determination States ofthe Union. Inthe mean time Amorican revolutionists— sympathisers, of course —are spread through the island, and in constant iatercourse with men in the United States, of kindred feelings, and entertaining the same design. Tho Governcr of Cuba appears to be aware of these. intentions, and, being thus forewarned, he refused to allow the Awerican packet steamer Crescent City to hold any intercourse with the place. This, of course, has ex- cited an extraordinary ferment in the United States, | and public meetings have been hold at New York axd other places, to expross their indignant feelings at this insult to the American flag. Let us hore ob- serve, that before the Americans can expect their own flag to be respected, they must learn some little | regard for the flags of other nations, and some con- sideration for what is due to other countries with which they FS nse! to be on terms of amity. We are glad to find this subject discussed in » leading article of the Z'imes of this morning, and our contemporary justly observes, that ‘* Pewerful as the American people unquestionably are in tho defence of all that belongs to themselves, no nation | these days the strength or the means to rua | riot in the world, and gratity its own lusts and ca- | prices at the expense of others:” and yet it is this immunity from all control which the Americans are | not only endeavoring to establish for themselves. but which they openly avow their intention to earry out, in defiance of all the laws by which civilised society is regulated. 1t would be a mockery for the United States to appeal to the law of nations, in what they consider an insult to their flag, in the case of the Crescent City. A people who have themselves | shown tuch a disregard for international law as they have done, connot expect to rest any claims uponit. Spain may probably not hi the means to defend its colony sgainst the machinations of America, but it is a case where both policy and justice ought to enlist the maratime powers of Hurope, especially France and England, in its support. The Ameri- ale not be allowed to rua riot through the world. The Aspect of the Question, | (rom the London News, Oct. 3] If ever there was a plain, palpable—nay, almost a tangible—instance of the gods refusing to assist thore who do not assist themselves, it is certainly to | be scen in the Spanish rule of Cuba. The maintenance of Spain as one of tho foremost of the second rato powers is an object of European, if not universal, interest; and the possession of the great island ot Cuba in peace and prosperity, is as ezsential to the preservation of that position, as is the island of Java to Holland It yields the govern- ment of the mother country considerable tribute, it enables it to keep a large mililary force ; it is the source of still great wealth toa large proprietary | class at home ; it stimulates ‘bo commercial spirit | of Spain; it is the mean: preserving to that | kingde: mercantile marine; it connects it with | the vax ountries of Hurope and America ; it af- fords civil and military employment tos great num- | ber of Spaniards; it is the last and most valuable relic of the past greatness of its Indian possessions ; it ought, from its position, to become the entrepot | of the Spanish 3; and, under a rational system of government, There are really no present.or appa- rent limits to its growth and prosperity. Yet, gradually, the feeling that Spain cannot long preserve what is thus so necessary to her wel- fare, is becoming universal ; and though this feel- ing is partly attributable toa belief in the bucca- neering and aggressive schemes of part of the popu- ation of the United States, it is also in no slight degree owing to the belief that the continued fideli- ty of Cuba itself to Spain is incompatible with the manner in which this great transatlantic possession 6 governed. Whetker this belief be well or ill founded, certain it is that the best and choapest mode of preserving £0 valuable a colony, is to rule t on a wiser system than now prevails. After so long and active an intercourse as has ex- isted between Cuba and the United States; when it has become te the northeastern parts of the Ameri- can republic, another Italy, where hoaith, pleasure, | and erjoyment are sought by the woalthy and tho | dissipated; after al.owing hundreds of its finest es- | tates to be conducted and managed by American overseers; and now that great commercial interesta have grown up--it le and puerile in the Span- United States. It cannot be done, and the attemp’ to do £0 wiil precipitate the very danger it is design- ed to avert. Selt-preservation is, no doubt, the first law of nat well as of individuals. But in dri- ving away steamers accustomed for a series of years freely to enter the ports of Cuba, because they pos- sibly have on board an obnoxious steward, cook, or passenger, is so obviously to injure the innocent many, in order to get at a guilty individual. as to be certain to create just feelings of indignation on the part of the American government; and thereby to bring it into collision and hostility with the au- thorities of the Ha —a stato of things sure to end in mischief to Cuba. Durirg the events which preceded, attended, and followea the piratical expedition of Lopez, the Ame- rican government, it cannot be denied, fulfilled its international duties to Cuba. It proclaimed tho preparations—it eeized part of the expodition—it sent a naval force to intercopt the rest—it acknow- ed, the right of Cuba to desl with participators in that crime as pirates—it interfered at Madrid on behalf of the captured onlyon grounds of huma- nity and of policy, and it gave the Spanish go- vernment satisfaction for the outrages perpstraved | on its contul at New Orleans. The authorities of Cuba ought not, therefore, lightly to give the ca- binet at Washington any excuse to depart from a line of policy which it pursued on the former emer- gency so much to their advantage, still less to a330- ciate the revived conspiracies in the States against | Cuba with just and reasonable complaints on the pert of the American Utes against needless interruptions and foolish obstructions to peaceable | and useful commerce And this is really what those authorities appear to be doing in the recent affairs of the Cornelia and the Crescent City. But all reason and all experience seem alike thrown away upon the Court of Madrid. Thore it is, in the nineteenth century, practising at homo a corrupt, stupid, unintelligent despotism long ban- ished and expelled from all other European coun- ies; where, in these times, despotism is at least comparatively pure and intelligent, and active in national improvements. And what Cube first and foremost suffers from is Spanish corruption, p' oularly the corruption of the Court. In the mo- | ment of Cuba’s danger, the people in sion of power at Madrid sent thither General Concha aa | Captain General. But the danger a little allayed, he was recalled. And the cause of his recall was | substantially the superiority of his government of the island. He repressed the slave trade with « strong and vigorous hand; refused himself ‘‘ grati- | fictions” for clandestinely permitting the intro- | duction of Africans, and forbade them to. others. This interfered with the greed and rapacity of a Iady too well known in the later annals of in. She, moreover, had a plan for realizing — some by a building speculation at Havana, which re- uired the demolition of some part of the renewed fortifioations of that city. This Concha positively refused to sanction. He was recalled; and, in the resent Captain Genoral, a more subservient ruler foe been found Under his administration—perhaps wo might say auspices—even the slave trade begins oat the io alty af the Creole population of omg! yalty @ Creole ion of Cuba to the crown of Spaia has peor! tested; nay, even though that loyalty too frequently shows itself | by insulting the citizens of the United States in tho | streets of Havana, it is ‘‘not shined upon” A bad colonial system in Madrid has no faith in menage or sentiments of attachment; it has gradually dimi- nisbed the muncipal franchises formerly existing in the isiand; it denies the native pro) yrs all parti- cipation itions of trust and authority; but it imposes on them a great army; and it levies puiation of not more, pro! ion of my gh the enormou: millions of dollars. The protestion of Spain is dearly bought at such a price; and though, in spite of it, material prosperity and wealth continue to in- creage in » the thought that under the protoc- tien of Anglo-American power the valuo all those properties would soon be donbled, must occasionally pars through tho minds of the Creole plantors of suger and tol » and leave its effest behind.

The Portentous Aspect of Foreign Affairs on the Bosphorus. {From the Diitish Army Despatch, Oct. 80.) It is now exactly eight weeks since wo addressed the public with some words of waroing on tho sub- ject of Turkey, under the heading of Our Atly the Sultan, and his Beretting Foes.” We then gave some account of the crors-purposes of Russia and France, which were being actively carried on at Constantinople, and our conclusion was as follows: ©The above ara but a tithe of the threads of in- triguo that Lord Stratford could unravel and meet Woe certainly much regret that he should have been removed from his important post, when such a tyro a0 Lord Maimerbury remains in the foreign office here.

The new Premior is described to us to bo an honest, upright Turk of the old school, blunt in manner, and resolute in purpose, and al- though he now acts in accordance with the viows of Russia, he is by no means a willing or designing Bat without the interference of Franco, only half the story is told. Their ambassador there is M de Ja Vallette, son of the prisoner, whom Sir Robert Wilson, Lord Donoughmore, and Mr. Bruce, saved, ip 1815, from the same fute as Ney, which awaited him. He returns hie gratitude to this country by showing himeclf when a political agent in Egypt and elsewhere, most determined to push Irench an- tagovism against English influence and commerce. He had but lately returned from France, and he had just ostentatiously forced himself ceil the Dar- danelles on board the screw line of battle ship Charlemagne, in direct contravention of a treaty to which France, ten years ago, was a party. Well, ho gocs to the present Turkish government, and insists upon the ratification of the loan by the Sultan, bo- cause it was made in Paris.

The Austrian Army. [From the United Service Gazette ] Having received an introduction to a captain in an Austrian regiment of infantry, quartered np Mayence, I was reeeived by him with tho utmost civility and attention. His corps, the Ith, or Archduke Reinier’s regiment, consists (as all tho Imperial Infantry regiments do,) of five battalions, | 1,200 strong each. Six companies, 200 men each, | compose # battalion, so that an Austrian regimont | comprises about 6.500 officers, non-commissionod | oflicers, drummers and privates The Ith regi- ment is dreseed as follows :—White doublo-breasted frockcoat, terminating three full inches above the | knees, dark blue cuffs, shoulder cords (officers | none) collars and edging; sky blue trousers, with | white piping down the outer eca@; felt cap, about nine inches deep, with orange lace round the top, black and yellow projecting tuft, brass double- | headed saele PINS, horizontal cap, peak, and'no | chin strap. The we are of goatskjn; they are | much smaller and lighter than the English, and can be opened’ behind, but the breast strap is still re- tained, and the soldier can neither take it off nor | 5, put it-on without assistance. The greatcoat is | rolled, and is worn strapped round three sides of | the pack; ip guard order, it is worn rolled over one shoulder and across the chest. The pouch is large and clumey, but a emeller one is being graduall introduced which will contain thirty rounds of ball | eartridge ; twenty more rounds are carried in a com- | tment at the bottomof the knapsack. Two cross. | 8 support the bayonet and pouch, to which ia | added a sword for corporals and sergeants. Sixtcen men per company are armed with a neq five-groved musket, which is saidto carry a conical ball 900 “a paces with accuracy, and the cl 0 is ignited by a percussion cap with a yd which being rather complioded would be able on active | service. The various ranks are by the number of small staraon each side of the coilars, viz , lance corporals, one; corporals, two; sergesats, three; second lieutenants, one; first lieutenant, two; captains, threo; the officers stars being of silver. The barrack rooms were clean and in goodorder ; | the bedding, which is @ straw palliasso noarly twelve inches thick, is not rolled up, and.the men are permitted to lie or sit upon it in the day timo The band performed four pieces for us in excellent | atyle. They number sixty musicians, but are very soft. Their dress is light blue coats and trousers, without any facing. Austrian ieee move very seldom in peace tin The four battalions of the llth regiment, now at Mayence, haye been there four years, are not expecting to leave the son for some months. Promotion is slow inthe Aw trian service. Unless a regiment ison active service, or an officer possesses influence at court, fifteen or six- teen yearamay elapse before he obtains his company, and probably ten more before ho isa major. All in- fantry officers wear stee} scabbards, and gold ox } belts lined with red, and a handsome yellow and gold | sash, the latter in full drees only. “They are also permitted to wear neat and comfortable undress. frockcoat,, in winter is worn over tho | white uniform. clothes in a garrison town aro nover heard of, and officers at all times are ob- liged to swage ie .

The Austrian officer's pay ie not high, ® captain receives only 900 florins, br £90 s year, besides lodging and fuel allowance if unprovided with quarters. Lhe broad issued to, the troops is black, sour, and of infamous quality. I did not see the soldiers at dinner, bas 1 under- stood from them that their daily allowance of meat was about one third of a pound each. The soldiers are enlisted for eight years, after which they be- come entitled to their discharge; but should =e re enlist, they recive a small medal, sooompani by a trifling increase of pay, and some extra indul- gonces. Fashions a November. From Le 5 Tho Richelieu, i black velvet. This manteau is plnited into a neck piece, with a collar of guipure falling over the shoulders. Large Venetian sleeves, fastened up with a bow, from which essapo three taseols he same description of bows sorvs to fasten the manteau in front. The Beigh of Arey, cloth, with violot oolored velvet trimming The form is very full, and round behind, with a deep pelerine camail fostened at the shoulder seam ; the frente are straight; « broad band of violet velvet is placed tound the | the tulle, forming a star over the hair. | from Loni manteau and pelerine, and @ narrower ono at the edge. The pelerine is usually trimmed,with a double row of fringe—the one groy, the other violet. The opening for the arm is concealed by the pelerine, the rounded form of which gives an appearance of a Venetian sleeve. A small turn aver violet colored velvet collar, trimmed with salons - The Czarine, of chestnut colored velvet, straight in front, and rounded behind Five flounces, edged with fringe, ontirely cover the manteau. The top flounce,‘which is rather wider than the other four, forme the collar. The fringe is black, with sm ornaments of chestnut velvet hanging at intervals, giving it an clegant appearance, and securing great success to the Czarine. The manteau Kspagnol, of white or ruby colored eachemire, is a kind of bournous in form, extremely full at bottom, and fitting on the ehoulders. Tho material is cut on the bias; at the bottom edge and op the fronts is a rich galon of gold and bright co- lored silks, designed in Teautifal flowers which ser- pentine on the gold ground. We bad almost forgotten tho ambassadrico—a violet: colored mantelet, rounded behind, with square ends in front. An imitation cape is formed by @ rich black silk friuge, with strings of graduated violet colored beads, mixing at distances. A black and violet embroidered galon is placed on the top of the fringe. The bottom edge of the mantelet is trimmed with three rows of the same fringo and galon, the richness of which disputes with the good taste of the entire mantelet. We must here make ove general remark, which is, that great fulnogs is given this season to all garments designated pardes- sus. Fitting garments are disappearing except for in- door garments | New Marerta.s —We must rofer to some of tho rich materials by which the season is announced as | likely to be most brilliant We will first speak of full dress.

Tne violet colored taffetas skirts aro trimmed with | five rows of black velvet, worked in tho material, surmounted by stripes of violet-colored reps.

Witherdy & Hanson's Cirenler ] | Cunrants —The late further advance in price at this mi has drawn forth more fruit from the continent, and the arrivals have pooera ts Bly boon | extensive since our last report. The Mary, Driver, | with the first cargo of new Cephalonia fruit, was re- | ported 15th inst. To this date, in 1, eighteen | cargoes of new fruit had reached port, with about 2 $00 tons. On the other band, the clearances for home consumption have increased t> an extraor dinary degree. During the first eighteen days of this month they have been 1,050 tons, against 700 tons during the first See days of last October. R the 19th ult. to the ISth inst, they have been tons, against 1,100 tons in 1851, 1,075 tons in | 1250, and 1,000 in 1849. From September Ist to the 15th ivet., no less than 1,950 tons have been taken for consumption, against 1,320 tons in 1591, | and 1,250 tons in 1450. We shall, therefore, ero this, have recovered the deficiency in the consump tion of the United Kingdom during tho frst cight months cf this yoar, which the last official returns showed to be 210 tons. The Cephalonia new fruit, although differing much in appearance from the | Patras por Genoa, has tho same obaracter of dead- | vers, tastelesenees, and want of substance It is | held at 65s. Wo have now had specimens probably | the worst, and, according to some accounts, of what may be considered about the post of the 1962 crop of currants. They corroborate, or rather surpass the most unfavorable opinion we have yet ventured to give of the new orop, and it is obvious that, as more arrivals of such fruit take place, the effect must be to enhance the value of the old, especially if we proceed at our present rate of consumption, which exoeeds that of any previous autumn.

Tho clearances for conte: tion during the last four weeks have been 1,0; tons, against 699 thins in 1851, consisting again principally of ¥alencias.
