By the Atlantic cable we have a news report dated yes- terday evening, November 4. Baron von Beust hav been appointed Minister of For- eign Affairs of Austria and Baron John Minister of War- Baron von Beust was at one time Primo Minlater of the King of Saxony. It is said that he has strongly ad- vised the Emperor to let Austria rest awhile by keeping out of German complicativns, and especially by a specdy and cordial reconciliation with Hungary. The King of Saxony has returned to readen. AVenctian deputation has been recoived by Victor Emanuel in Turin. The Boeigsan Minister of Wor hos resigned. By the steainship City of Parie at this port yesterday, we have interosting details of our cable telegrams to the ‘25th of October.

Rov. W. H. Boole, at tho Thirty-seventh street M. EK. church, delivered a stirring discourse inst bvening, on “The duty of the citizens of this city in reference to tho approaching clection.”’ The congregation was very larg. The reverond spoaker advised all men, a8 an act of Christian duty, to vote for Reuben FE. Fonton and other republican candi- ates, in order to have tho oxcise liquor law sus talned, and abuses in the public echool management and tm tho judicial courts corrected. He also eloquently Desought his hearers to s: Congress in their votes oxt Tuvsday, as the only bulwark agamet despotism, wrong and injustice. Rov, Charles B. Smyth addressed targe congrega- tion at Cooper Institute Inst night, on the subject of “ Marriage and Divorce.’ In the coarse of lis remarks, the reverend gentleman said that the only penalty tor edultery was the death of both the guily parties. A bormon was preached last evening in the Seventh Greet Methodist Episcopal chirch by Rev. Mr. Wood- ful, in which he argued against allowing what he termed tho rum interest to control the election, and showed Qhat ono of the candidates for Governor represents oppo- Sition to It, while the other ts committed to sustain It, Rev. J. Edwin Brown, of Brooklyn, addressed the Young Men’s Christian Mision at the Stanton street eburch y sterday, in which Hled open his congrega- tion to pray for the defeat of the democratic party, which he said was obnorions to God. He exhorted his hearers to vote for the other party. The Rev. Wiliam Preston, of St. Ann’e church (Roman Catho'ic), addressed the congregation yesterday morning in reference to tho Roman loan, and recom. mended that all his hearers covtribute in proportion to thotr means.

Points” who would not give s hearing to vis | bring about euch an approximation distinguished gentleman did give » patiem’: | and of these the most significant is the contem- John Bright’s Movements. The reform movement in England steadily progresses. Demonsiration follows demonsira- tion with astonishing regularity and success, Never in England has any movement so thoroughly commanded the sympathy of the industrial section of the community. London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds have each had their opportunity and have each testified in favor of Reform in a manner too emphatic not to be understood. A great meeting took place in Glasgow on the 16th instant, at which Mr. Bright made » most earnest and stirring appeal to seventy thou- sand people, alluding to a time to come when scores of thousands of workingmen might find it necessary to demand further measures for the maintenance of their rights. Dublin, too, is in high excitement at the advent of the great English tribune, and the demonstration at the grand banquet no doubt reminded the older inhabitants of the stirring times and the stormy eloquence of their own O'Connell. Mr. Bright on that occasion, urged upon the Irish people in strong language the application of vigorous measures for the remedy of all their grievances, and if they are wise they will obey him, and combine with his movement. Our object, however, in referring to these demonstrations now is not to show that the in- terest taken in the reform question is deepen- ing and widening, for that is patent to all ; nor to prove that the present agitation is certain to lead to great results, for that may now be taken for granted. We desire rather to call attention to a marked and peculiar feature of this movement—a feature which bas not been sufficiently noticed, and which in certain quar ters does not appear to be clearly understood. No one who bas intelligently observed this agi- tation since its commencement can have failed to perceive that it has been throughout entirely confined to the lower order of the people. The upper and middle classes have equally stood aloof from ii. From neither the oue nor the other has it derived either sympathy or support. With the exception of Mr. Mill and Colonel Dickson, who appeared in Lon- don, Mr. Schofield, Mir. Bright’s colleague, who appeared at Birmingham, and Mr. Forster, who lent but o questionable assistance at Leeds, members of Parliament have given it no countenanee. Some of them, not con- tent wilh occupying a merely negative position, have openly expressed disapproval of the whole proceedings. Mayors and com- mitiees, too, in the different cities in which meetings have been held Rave been but res- peciful and submissive, not encouraging or approving. Mr. Brizht, who from the first bee been the central sun of the movemeni, hes no doubt, in conjunction wiih his satellites the Bealeses and the Joneses, exerted a powerful and guick- ening influence. Lut the influence has been felt and acknowledged only by the people. In this respect the present movement differs ma- terially from the only two movements with which in recent times it can be compared— from the agitation whith led to the passing of the first reform bill, and from that other and more recent agitation, which terminated in the repeal of the corn laws. Both these move- ments enlisted the sympathy and commanded the support of a large ection of the upper, and almost the entire body of the middle classes. Mr. Bright’s reference to the land question in bi. Glasgow speech, showing that haif of Scotland was owned by ten or twelve persons, indicates that he means a more radical reform than the previous measures contemplated, which only aimed at an increase of political power for certain classes, The reform of the land tenure poinis towards revolution. Therefore we need hardly ask the ques- tion—Why this difference of attitude on the part of the pretended friends of the people? Why lend a helping hand to the people in the other retorm movements, and stand aloof from the people now! We are familiar with the auswer which they themselves would give to these questions. But the true answer is different and not difficult to find Their own class interests identified them with the people then. Their own class interests separate them from the people new. The first reform bill had for its object less the enfran- chisement of the people than the enfranchise- ment of the middle class; and the liberal section of the aristocracy who were identified with a particular line of policy felt themselves hampered without their support. The repeal of the corn laws, it was believed, would give afresh impetus to trade and enhence the value of property. Hence their sympathy and co- operation then. But it is difficult for them to see how such an extension of the franchise and alteration in the legislation regulating the tenvre of land as Mr. Bright demands, can have any other effect than to narrow the range and diminish the weight of their inflnence. Hence their indifference and cellousness now, Looked at trom this point of view, the pre- sent political agitation in England will not be found to be robbed of any of its interest, The relations of the different partfes will be more clearly seen, The causes which led to the de- feat of the late reform bill and which have produced the present excitement will be better underatood, ‘The agitation is not likely soon to be ended. Mach will depend on ihe course which Mr. Disraeli may adopt on the opening of Parliament, He has ability and daring enough to inaugurate « new era in bis country’s history, and we shall not be surprised if he prove himself a better friend of the people than many of the so-called libergle, In any case it is for the people to maintain with firm- ness the attitade they have assumed. We have no desire to see the House of Commons be- sieged; for the moment intimidation beging just and faithful legislation ceases. Let them only wait with calmness and with dignity, and the hour of their triumph cannot be far distant, ‘Tue State Coxsrrrunionar, Coxvextion:—The poople should not forget that there isa very important issue to be decided at the polls to- morrow besides the election of the State, county and Congressional tickets. - Voters will be called upon to decide for or against @ conven- tion to amend the State constitution. No one should deposit @ vote for his favorite can- Aidates without also voting “Yes” on tho Con- stitutional Convention, It is of more import. ance to the interests of the city that we should have the State eopstitution amended, so as to ‘Up ¢ BQ0d Government and stop corrup- Se eat Reform Agitniten tn Great Britain— | olal appoint bis own subordinates. Thon we shall have one responsible power to look to, and not, as now, some dozen irrespon- sible departments, called a city government. We want also the abolition of an elective judiciary, in order to insure an honest admin- istration of the laws, The judges should be appointed by the Governor, to serve for life or during good behavior, as the judges of tho United States Supreme Court are appointed by the Executive, If we can secure an intelligent convention the State constitution will be re- modelled so as to carry out these measures, and then we shall have a firm, efficient and honest municipal government and incorrupti- ble judges. Every voter should think of this at the polls to-morrow, and cast his vote for the State Constitutional Convention. ‘The State Elections of To-Morrow—Tho Great Oo Hiections embracing the choice of ninety-one members of Congress take place in the following named States to-morrow :—Mas- sachusetis, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Tilinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Maryland, Delaware and Nevada. The repre- sentation of these States in the present Con- gress siands seventy republicans to twenty-one democrats. The seven States in which the elections have been held have returned sixty republicans to twelve democrats, which is two or three better for the republicans than their returns by certificate to the present Congress. Including Tennessee—admitted at the close of the last session on the ratification of the pend- ing constitutional amendment—the present House of Representatives is thus constituted :— Republicans. Democrats, Republican majority. ....seeeereeeee It will thus be seen that the republicans, as the House now stands, bave a syrplus of twenty- one members beyond the two-thirds vote re- quired to pass a bill over the President’s veto, and that thus far in the elections for the next Congress no impression has been made upon this majority. All hopes therefore In the elec- tions to-morrow and in the two or three small New England States which elect next spring of sufficient democratic gains to get beyond a one-third votgyin the House are apparen'ly: gone. Indetd, excepting in Maryland, the chances of gains are all the otherway. We think, in short, that it may be safely assumed that the republican ascendency in the next Con- gress will be substantially the same as in the present Congress,and that so there will be a two-thirds vote in both houses in fuvor of the constitutional amendment of Congress to the end of President Johnson’s term of office. Thie amendment is the great issue upon which the republicans have carried the Sep- tember and October elections by such decisive majorities as to astoniah even themselves, and the same issne, from Mascachusetts to Nevada, will culminate, from all present appearances, in similar results to-morrow. In this State the demoera's appcat to have ebandoned the idea of any effective impression upon Con- gress, nud seem to be directing all their efforts to the election of Mr, Hoffman, their candidate for Governor. Upon an aggregate popular vote of seven hundred and thirty thousand eight hundred and forty-one, Fenton’s ma- jority in 1864 was only eight thousand three hundred and thirteen—a very close ficht on so large a total vote. But General McClellan, in New York in 1864, was stronger than the demo- cratio party, while, strange as the fact may ap- pear, the vote for Governor shows that Prewi- dent Lincoln did aot poll the full republican strength in that contest. He was still behind his party, notwithstanding his great popu- larity from his approved honosty and fidelity ond his emancipation proclama- tions, ‘The independent Fremont movement at Cleveland, though abandoned with Presi- dent Lincoln’s renomination. at Baltfiiore, bad still left its impression among the advanced anti-slavery elements of this and other States, Now all this is done away with, and the New York republican majority to bé overcome by Mr. Hoffman is: not Fenton’s eight thousand majority of 1864, but Barlow’s twenty-seven thousand of 1865, if nota good deal more. The great national issue of the constitutional amend- ments has consolidated the Union party ele- ments of the war, while the important local issuo of our Corporation “ring,” without giv- ing strength to Hoffman in this city, will be apt to tell heavily against him throughout the State. It is the fight of the “ring” against the city and State, and therefore we shall not be surprised in the least if most conspicuous and decisive among the results of to-morrow’s elee- tions stall be the defeat of the Tammany ramp and the “ring.” Srrorrenmes or mie Bic Bortien-vy Guxn- rat.—The distinguished hero whom Maasachn- setts supplied to the lato war, and who is still in active service And good pay ($250 per day, with commissary allowances) as a hired politi- cal orator, made a splendid exhibition of his Saturday afternoon last in an open air matinde which took place in front of the City Hail, and which almost equalled in indecency another matings going on at the same time higher up Broadway. Ii seems that the spectators in the City Hall Park bad some prejudice ogainst him as one of the principal pertormers, arising out of an unpopular port that he played in New Orleans a few years ago; and that prejudice found expression in groans and hisses, uncomplimentary remarks, and @ conatant allusion to “spoons.” The General, althongh fomed aan military bottler, could not keep his rage bottled np, but itepluttered over in @ way that was far from dignified or becom- ing. He longed for an opportunity of “ clear- ing out” the good-tempered crowd before him with grape shot or at the point of the bayonet. He denounced the poople who would not listen to him as “ organised thieves,” “systematic planderers,” “baby murderers,” “ men of the Five Points,” “Bullies oftthe bawdy houses,” “thieves of the lobby,” and “ burglars of the Tomba.” All very nice language indeed! Very moge- Tate, genteel expressions to apply to cltiechs of New York who had the bad taste not to be ad- mirers of Benjamin F, Butler! The modera- tion of the people whom be thus culogized is evident from the fact that their violence went no farther then to furnish him with # good- led éfiple, Which, though not offered in the most polite manner, he accepted and disposed of Porbaps they did not hear the choicest of the epithets which he flung in their toeth, and that thelr moderation was owing to that clr Cumstance. However that may be, it is worthy Of remark that these same man of the Fiye polite and orderly hearing to Mr. Horace Greeley and other speakers. This shows at least that these “burglars of the Tombs ” had some judgment and discretion, and it may be that their intense antipathy to the General may be traced to the old proverb that “two of a trade never agree.” Vagaries About Our Financial Condition and a Revulsion. Some of the newspapers, and those chiefly of the radical stripe, seem to delight in shewing their crude and absurd theories about the financial condition of the country and in pre- dicting a revulsion and all goria ofevils. Like Dr. Sangrado, they have one remedy for all ills, not knowing whether it will kilt or cure, In fact, in their ignorance and insane desire to be doctoring, they create imaginary diseases where there is perfect health. Immediate re- sumption of specie payments is their panacea. They see the country in the full tide of pros- perity, legitimate enterprise and business active and progressing, labor universally em- ployed and well rewarded, the productions of the country greatly increasing, the revenue of the government Immense and yet no ono dis- tressed by the burden of taxation, the reserve of gold enormous and the national debt being greatly and rapidly reduced ; they see all this, and still say we are in a ruinous condition, and that a fearful revulsion is coming. They assert that this 18 all artificial, and that we are ina very unhealthy state, like a person in a high fever. Are the railroads which we build, the mines that are worked, the manufactories that are set going, the lands that are opened to cultivation, and the general produc- tive enterprise of the country artificial? Are not all these substantial improvements and an increase of the national wealth? And what bas produced this reault but the abun- daace of monvyt But in order to make us more prosperous these crazy theorists would take away the very means of our prosperity. They would shut up the manufactories, stop the construction of railroads, arrest the plough and close up the mines by taking away the money which sets them all going. They would reduce our present circulating medium to a degree that would paralyze all business and bring about that revulsion which they have been long predicting for the purpose of forcing specie paymonts. As to a general revulsion under the preseat state of things, with an abundant paper money currency, that cannot take place. Overtrading or excessive speculations may cause some fail- ures and breaking up of companies and indi- viduals, These occur in sptcle paying times a8 wellas when specie is not the circulating medium ; bute general revulsion cannot occur, because there will be no drain of the currency from the country nor hoarding of it. This is the liteblood ot home trade, and while it flows in sufficient volume people will have means and business in general must be active. The want of money creates revulsions, not the abundance of it ‘True, there is a healthy Umit beyond which it is not safe to go, and the volume of circulation should bo kept steady, increasing only in proportion with the pro- gress of business and national wealth, The question with us is simply what is th» limit and how is the circulation to be regulated according to that. If the business of the country be conducted upon a circula- tion of cight or nine bundred millions, and we reduce that to four, five or six hundred millions, in order to force specie payments, what would be the consequence? Wonld it not reduce the means of all except the very rich bondholders? Would it not necessarily para- lyze industry? Would it not create o fearful revulsion? We are not without examples in history to show that this would be the case ; hgsides, it isso pliin a matter that any man with ordinary common sense can understand it. We are doing well enough, and there is no fear ota revulsion. We ought to be caretul not to throw away this valuable experience for the absurd and dangerous theories of ignorant writers and bullion speculators, But, strange to say, these same advocates of forcing specie payments call upon the govern- ment to part with ils gold, which tends to inspire confidence in our ability to pay in specie, Open your voults, they say, and let out this reserve for the benefit of commerce and to reduce the premmm o» gold. That is to say, in reality, for the benefit of the gold speculators, the Bank of England and the foreign bullion traders. We do not say that there should not be some limit to the amount government should hold; but it is wise and healthful to keep a large re- serve. We have had some experience in the government partiug with its gold aad we know what effect would be produced again, Tempo- rarily gold might decline, but the premium would soon go up again. A large stream would flow to Europe, and we should be lefi as poor in the precious metal as ever. The great misiake made is in regarding gold aa anything else than an article of trade. It is not our money, and il is not necessary for our welfare or prosperity that it should be. The Bank of England and the great foreign capitalists could draw away the gold, and if that were our only money they could bring on a revul- sion or help to bring on one at any time; but they will not draw away the ourrency. They cannot make this money scarce and hold us at their mercy. Let us keep the volame of our present circulation steady, then we sball grow up to the specie standard, and our trade, horae business and the valuo of our property will not be at the mercy of speculators and capitalists here or abroad. Tar Resso-Geeman ALLIaNce.—There seems to be no longer any doubt that the reported alliance between Russia and Prassia bas been consummated, The Paris journals speak posi- tively on the subject, and the fact is further confirmed by an imperial ukase raising the mil- itary and naval forces of Russia to their full strength. Leaving Germany to protect bis Enropoan frontier, the Emperor Alexander can now prosscnte in ecourity his designs in the East. The insurrection in Candia, fomented aa we know it to have been by Russian emissa- rlea, was but the inanguration of a movement which will now assume the character of a forci- dle interference and subsequent invasion of the Ottoman territory. Prussia, on bor side, feels that her only security against a combina- tion between France and Austria, aud perhaps Italy, is in this allianes. There have beon indications of late which prove that sotlye efforts were being mado to plated marriage of Prince Humbert with an a\nstrian Archduchess. One thing is certain, thas, after being so cleverly outmanceuvred and failed by Bismerck in the German compli- cation, Napoleon will not rest quiet until he has paid him back for the mortification it has caused him. The promised support of France is the only rational solation that can be offered of the fact that, though exhansted by the struggle through which she has just passed, Austria is reorganizing and strengthening her army, and to all appearance actively preparing for another war. It may be donbted that after what Italy has gained by Prussian assistance she would be likely to enter into such ® combination. Italian statesman- ship has never been remarkable for its good faith or consistency, and we think it quite prob- able that for the price of the consent of France and Austria to the expulsion of the Pope from Rome Italy would turn the cold shoulder on her late ally, and even take up arms against her. She might seek an excuse for her con- duct in the fact that but for her assistance Prussia could not have undertaken the war with Austria, and would therefore argue that as the obligations were mutual, no debt of grati- tude remained to be discharged. As yet we have no positive ground for this idea; but it seems to us that to complete tho unity of their government, and to rid themselves of eccle- siastical domination, the Italians will willingly embrace any chance of doing so that ts offered them. There {s no other way in which they can got rid of the objections of Napoleon, or rather Eugénie (for it is her feeling that pre- vails in the matter), to the expulsion of the Pope. In a general war, in which the interests of all the great Powers will be involved, but little attention will be paid to an eyent for which the Catholic world, and even the Holy Father himself, are pretty well prepared. Such, we believe, are the probabilities into which events are now shaping themselves in Eurore. We never felt that the conclusion of the war in Germeny offered a prospect of per- munent peace. The indications ihat are crowd- ing on us show that the doubt was not only well founded, but that the realization of its vnxieties is closer at hand than any one anti- cipated.
