PARIS, THURSDAY, 104 A M. The further decline of every description of security at yesterday a Bourse, and especially of railway shares, has been mainly ascribed to the measure adopted by the Provisional Government in the sequestration of the lines of Orleans and the Centre. The grounds on which this measure has been based have not been officially announced, and an uncertainty prevails as to whether it was a compulsory measure forced ma the companies by the government, or one to the adoption of which the government was moved , by the companies themselves. Whatever may have been the cause, au alarm has been excited, and appre hensions are entertained that like causes may bring I about a sequestration of the other lines in operation. I have already informed you, on authority in which I have every confidence, that the origin of the sequestra tion with which the Orleans and Centre lines have been struck, has been a revolt among the inferior employes against the authority of the board of directors, the consequence of which was, the peremp tory refusal of the engine-drivers to act, and the suspension of the operation of the lines. In these circumstances the directors appealed to the govern. ment. The railway commissioners of government en joined the recusant engineers to act in the name of the republic, and they did so. The sequestration was therefore adopted, with the concurrence of the directors. Doubtless an official statement of these circumstances will speedily appear. Among the elections for the superior officers of the national guard, which were commenced yesterday, none were brought to a close except that of the 11th Legion, for which there was a sharp competition. The candidates were M. Henri Boulay de la Me urtho, the retiring colonel ; Professor Ouinet, of the College of France ; and M. Sechan, architectural painter. After a second scrutiny Professor Quinet was elected. The Provisional Government have become sensible of the impracticability of exacting the extraordinary contribution of 45 per cent. of the year's taxes, which they lately decreed, and a decree appears this morn ing authorising the collectors, assessors, and com missaries, to remit or diminish this exaction in cases where it shall appear to be individually oppressive. Another decree of this morning appoints M. Arago Minister of War, with Lieutenant-Colonel Scharras as Secretary. M. Arago is to hold, ad interim, the Ministry of Marine. Another decree imposes a tax upon all salaries re ceived by functionaries of the state of every grade. In the Atelier, a journal which is the special organ of the working classes, there appears a manifesto, written in an admirable spirit, against the system of proscription which has been directed against foreign labourers and artisans in France. The Constitutionnel of this morning affirms, that the statement that M. Theirs had declined the can didateship to the assembly is erroneous. M. Thiers (says the Constitutionnel) adheres to the terms of his address. He is ready to accept the deputation as a duty, if offered to him, the discharge of which no good citizen can refuse. Letters are given explaining the origin of the error. Since writing the above, I learn that a meeting of the companies of the Orleans and Centre lines was held last evening, to deliberate on the position in which the companies were placed by the decree of the government of Tuesday, and they resolved that the shareholders should be convoked, those of the Orleans on the 27th, and those of the Centre on the 28th inst. Also, that the revocation of the sequestra tion should be earnestly demanded of the government as speedily as poesiblei and that, pending the sequestration, all possible measures be taken by the two boards of directors for the preservation of the rights of share holders and of third parties. The new police, " Gardiens de Ville," have_ just come into service in the central parts of Paris. They wear no uniform, but are distinguighed by a badge on the left arm consisting of a plate, inscribed with the words " Gee:hens de Ville." They are unarmed. As I mentioned to you a fortnight since would pro bably be the case, it is now announced that small notes of 30f. and 201. are to be issued by the Bank. The plates are it is said in a forward state, and a de cree will shortly appear authorising their issue. Even the 100 f. notes are now difficult to get, and great inconvenience is everywhere felt from the want of small currency. We have received the Madrid mails of the 31st. That capital remained in the same state ; no further popular movement being manifested, and no san guinary' re-action being attempted by the dictator ship. The report which we mentioned y esterday of a successful insurrection at Valencia and Saragossa was not confirmed. MM. Olozaga and Escosura, who had been arrested by the municipal guard upon a verbal order, aed without a warrant, were banished to Cadiz, where they were sent on the night of the 31st. The ad% ices from the provinces, so far at least as they were a.lowed to become known, reported general tranquillity. kAlaup Maus 31.—Three per Cents.. 21 ore; Five per Ceara., 14 PV er • Pa,eivee , 41 paper ; COUIIOIII, 91 paper ; Bank of St Ferdinand, 2 cash; 110 paper.

Ssrov.—The news which I sent you yesterday morning in general terms, and explained to you the origin last evening, is fully confirmed to-day. A republic has been proclaimed at Chambery, and a provisional go vernment appointed. The Sardinian government and superior authorities quitted Chambery on the 31st, and a council of government was consti tuted there. The Lyons Gazette of the 4 th gives the following, under date of Chambery, 31st " Savoy will to-morrow constitute itself a republic ; a Provisional Government will be constituted, and the republic of Savoy proclaimed; the country will be immediatly convoked to decide on its political condition. There is in this no hostility to the king, who has given us very liberal institutions; nothing of disaffection to the French republic, for which we preserve% sympathies• nothing, in short, which prejudges any couose. All our fellow citizens will be i.insulted. It is our right, it is our duty. We are no longer in an era when people were sold as property. Does not M . Lamartine declare that France will not permit dis guised intervention, direct or indirect? " On the same evening a proclamation was published by the Provisional Government, addressed to the citizens, exhorting them to the maintenance of order and the preservation of tranquillity, asserting the right of the people to choose their own form of go vernment, and desiring them to wait with that aim eel'-possession which precedes solemn events. SMALL ITALIAN DUCHIES.—DimienIiON and connter revolution have broken out among these petty states. At Parma a movement has taken place in favour of the actual sovereign, and his authority is re established. Piacenza, however, which forms part of the same principality, does not adhere to this, sad has declared itself independent. The regency, which has exercised the sovereign authority at Modena since the retirement of the duke, has been overturned, and • Provisional Guvernment was nominated, which was about to convoke a national assembly . Reggio, forming part of the .principality of Modena, did not concur in this, and acknowledged neither the regency nor the Provisional Government, nor the expulsion of the duke. The Pro visional Government at Modena had established a na tional guard, which was to include all persons above 18 and under 50. LOSIBARDY.—The news which I communicated to i you in a second despatch last night, received from , Milan, under the date of the night of the 31st, are circumstantially confirmed this morning. On that evening Charles Albert and his son, the Duke of Savoy, occupied Lodi with 10,000 men and 100 pieces of artillery. The report of the capture of the Archduke Viceroy, which was received by the Provisional Government at Milan, proves to be incor rect. It appears, from a letter received from Inapruck, dated the 29th, that the viceroy arrived at Sateen, a town of the German Tyrol, where he was waiting the issue of events. A mis take also occurred in the reports received from Milan, in the name of the place where the Austrian forces under Badetaky were concentrated. This place, it now appears, is the town of Chiari, on the road leading from Lodi and Crema to Brescia and Bergamo, and close to the line of railway connecting Milan with Verona. The centre of the Austrian line was at Soncino, a small town on the Oglio, a little south of Chiari, and not far from Creme. Thus the Austrians appear to have been drawn up on the Oglio, waiting the approach of the enemy. Lodi, being not a day's march from this position, it is probable that the next accounts will bring the news of a decisive action. The amount of the forces remaining at the command of Marshal Radetsky is variously stated. Before the defection of the Italian and Hungarian regiments, and the losses I have already mentioned, it amounted to about 60,000 men. It is not supposed that it can now amount to much above half that number. The Milanese have seut an address to Pius IX., in which they ascribe to the ponti ff all the honour o f emancipation of Italy. LATEST FROM PARIS. PARIS, THURSDAY, 5 P.M. It is difficult to predict anything that occurs here. The popular movements defy all the rules of proba bilities. The present week has been looked forward to with apprehension and anxiety, as an epoch of violent popular manifestion and noisy attroupernents, to be occasioned, as was expected, by the elections of the superior officers of the National Guard. The coarse of events, however, has taken precisely the opposite turn. fhe attroupements, noise, bellowing of national songs, beating of drums, forcing the unfortunate clergy and their assistants to parade the streets, giving benediction to poplar trees, and forcing the inhabitants at night to illuminate their windows, because some dozen of gamins broke up the pavement of their neighbourhood, and planted (these trees; all this continued until Sunday night last, to the infinite annoyance of all peaceably-dis posed persons. Since then, however, little or nothing of this kind has afforded ground of reasonable complaint, apparently in consequence of a firm proclamation issued by M. Armand Marrast, the Mayor of Paris, in which the determi nation of the government to put a stop to these proceedings was distinctly announced. Since then all has been comparatively quiet. The operatives seem 'I to have returned to their workshops. There have been neither attroupements nor processions, nor trees of liberty. Industry would seem to have returned to its regular channels, and we have enjoyed four days of almost uninterrupted tranquillity and order. But:all this, contrary to all expectation, has failed to produce the slightest favourable influence at the Bourse. Confidence is further than ever from being established. Securities of every kind have fallen more rapidly than ever. On Saturday the Threes l i closed at 391. Yesterday they closed at 321, being a fall of 7 francs nearly on 391, which is equiva lent to 171 per cent., after four days of tranquillity' and order. To-day, however, an improvement took place, and the closing prices of the Threes were 36, and those of the Fives, 52t. The cause of this is:considered to be the favourable turn which the election of the superior officers of the national guard (has taken. The bank shares are still kept under 1,100, by the feare, as it is understood, of a forced loan. This afternoon the students of the College Bourbon (now called the Lyeee Corneille) revolted against their superiors, and marched to the Hotel tie Ville to protest against a decision of the proviseur of the col lege, who declined to grant to the son of M. Guizot a prize he had recently gained, in consequence of his relationship to the ex-minister. This proceeding was hailed with acclammation by the populace, as the procession passed. nars, Aran. 6.—New Loan, —,• Three per Cents., 36; Do.

The bankers of Berne have given notice to their clients that, in the present condition of Europe. they cannot give cash for bills, &c., payable in foreign countries, until they may themselves be embed to realize such receipts at Berne. SAvoY.—The intelligence which I sent this morning of the proclamation of a requblic at Chambery, on the authority of a letter received at Lyons, is again con troverted, as appears by the Lyons journals of the 4th. GOVERNMENT MEASURES FOR THE SAFETY OF PARLIAMENT. This morning one of the metropolitan magistrates attended at the New Houses of Parliament, and swore in u special constables the whole of the workmen employed under Mr. Barry, to the number of between seven and eight hundred persons. The officers of both houses were also sworn in to act as special constables on Monday next, it they should be called on to do so. It is determined to erect a barricade in New Palace-yard, to protect the entrance to the house by Westminster Hall and the Committee Rooms. A strong police force will be also in attendance, to prevent the approach of any procession which is likely to impede the approach of peers and members to the Lords and Commons. DEATH OF LORD RIFERSDLLE.—This nobleman, i an Irish peer, and a resident of the county Cork, laas paid the debt of nature. His lordship was brother of the Bishop • of Killsloe. RESIGNATION OF MR. ALDERMAN H ETCHES 01:01188.—This gentleman has sent his resignation of the office of Alderman for Bread-street Ward (to which he was elected in 1843) to the Lord Mayor, which resignation his lordship will officially announce at the nest meeting of the court of aldermen. Mr. Lawrence, builder, is the only candi date at present announced for the vacant gown. INDIAN MAIL.—The steamer Sultan, with the second portion of the last Overland India Mail, arrived this day at Southampton. FOREIGNERS AND THE Cnannters.—The follow ing is from a morn in g p a p er of yesterday,: —" We have heard it rumoured that there are a few foreigners who are making themselves busy in respect to the chartist demon stration about to take place under Mr. Feargus O'Connor. We Englishmen leave foreign nations to settle their affairs without interference of any kind on our part, and we feel assured, if it should turn out that there is any truth in the above-mentioned rumour, that the police and special con stables will know how to deal with such gentlemen in eases where they may be found meddling with unlawful proceed ings in our concerns."

Mr. Griffiths, the chairman of the school, had fre quently spoken to her on the subject. Did not make any deposition at the request of Mr. logleby. Cross-examined by Mr. Whitehurst: Mr. Lee was clearly, to appearance, intoxicated ; fro that any or her senses could see it, she should suppose. Sarah Ball opened the door. She was not here. The dying child wan between 13 and 14 years old. His sister, who was in the sick ward, was not here. She was about 16 or 16. The mother was much distressed, but remarkably calm. She did not sob. She showed great firmness, and was not excited. Rev ained a little time with her at the door. The discourse, she dared my, would have been most excellent. She didn't think it was a good discourse for Mr. Lee. It wasn't. then, (snappishly) an excellent discourse. It was a good one, and for an ignorant man would hays been an excellent one. Re-examined.—Had never heard a religious addr, se from Mr. Lee before. His manner in the committee room, where she had beard him speak, wan not like that exhibiti d oa the evening in question. The difference consisted in a thickness and uncertaioty of utterance. A. far as her memory went the discourse was incoherent. Did not think it an ex cellent discourse, beeaspe it was not clear and in beautiful iangusge, as she bad heard Mr. Lee's discoursts were. Mrs. Charlotte Bayliss, the mother of the boy, deposed to the illness of her eon, his ppeerfect conecioneness and the attendance of Mr. Lee to • • religions co nsolation. Her son was tensed thirteen years et age. Mr. Lee and Mrs. Foster went into the room segediser. Witness was at that time reading the Bible to her sm. Mr. Lee ordered witness sad her dsaghter imoreltesety to Mare the room. Mr. Foster went down stairs and fetched Mrs. Foster up. On leaving the room Mr. Lee spoke to witness, and asked her if she was the mother of the child. She replied that she was. He told her to make kernel( contented, for he (her son) would not be there long. There was a light on the stairs, but she did not particularly observe Mr. Lee's manner. He was thick is his talk, and she could not under stand him, but she did not know what to atttribute it to. Mr. Foster, on leaving the room, took hold of Mr. Lee's shoulder, and told him to take care as he went down stairs. By a Juror: She never saw Mr. Lee before that night. Clara Walker, mistress of the Testimonial School at Fleetwood, Lancashire, but formerly senior teacher in the Blue-coat School, Birmingham, recollected seeing Mr. Lee visit the Boy Bayli.i. In the conrse of the evening he ad dressed the children. Had frequently seen him before. There was something on that occasion peculiar in his appear. &nee ,• he was remarkably excited. Her impression was that Mr. Lee was much excited, but could not tell from what cause. Mr. Gutteridge : I now ask you distinctly, did you con- Sider Mr. Lre intoxicated or not f—Witnea (after some hesitation): I have not been in the habit of seeing gentle men intoxicated, and therefore can scarcely judge; but I thought there was something remarkable in Mr. Lee's manner. The Rev. J. W. Downes, formerly one of the curates of St. Philip's Church, Birmingham, deposed, that in Fe bruary, 1844, Foster, at that time master of the Blue Coat School, told him that, during his (witness's) abler ce from home, Mr. Lee had been sent for to visit a sick child in the school, and that he mine intoxicated. Mr. J. B. Payne gave evidence to the same effect as last wit nets. The Hon. and Rev. Grantham York, rector of St. Philip's church : In the latter end of 1846 he mentioned to Mr. Foster that he had heard him mentioned as an authority for the charge of intoxication against Mr. Lee, and asked him as to its truth. He said he should be glad to contradict it if he could. He (Foster) founded his belief open two distinct acts—the indistinet manner in which he read, and a false step on the stairs. In cross-ezamination by Mr. Whitehurst, waxers said that, clan men of his acquaintance, Mr. Lee was least liable to a charge of intemperance or intoxication. He always con sidered him to be a moral and excellent man. Mrs. Elliott deposed that she was at Bishop Ryder's church on a Sunday in June, 1844, when the present Bishop of Manchester officiated. His manner was monotonous and without emphasis. He had a sleepy tone. Did not know what to think of him. Could not say that he was not sober; if he had been any other person than Mr. Lee, she should have thought he had been intoxicated. Edmund Henry Thrasher, of Islington-row, Birming ham, and master of the national school of St. Thomas's, Birmingham: Was at Bishop Ryder's church on a Sun day evening in June, 1844. Mr. Lee officiated on that occasion. He noticed his manner ; it was decidedly cliffs rent from what he had seen of him. His manner was nervous, and his utterance indistinct. He was astoninished at the manner, but did not form an opinion of the cause at the time. As soon as he heard reports of Dr. Lee's intoxi cation, it struck him that the appearances were very Weal those of intoxication. Would not swear that Dr. Lee was intnx'cated, but he had that appearance. Edwin Cotterill was present at Bishop Ryder's church on the evening in question. He considered Mr. Lee's manner singular, and his reading very incoherent. His impression at the time was that Mr. Lee was drunk, and he spoke to some upon the subject as he left the church the Darne l evening. Mr. Thomas Rolluon, of Birmingham, was warden of Bishop Rider's church in 1842, 1843, and 1844, swore most positively that, although the manner of Mr. Lee, when he officiated at Bishop Rider's church, was somewhat nervous, he was, in his opinion, sober. Mr. Gutteridge : What was your opinion at the time ? Witness: I had no opinion about the matter. My impres sion was, that lie read the service imperfectly; but I did not attribute it to intemperance, but rather to exhaustion. This concluded the case for the defence. Mr. Whitehurst, in a very able speech, replied on the part of We crown ; and at halt-past six, p.m., Chief Justice Wilde was summing up the case to us thDAT.e jury. Ta We have received the following by the Electric Telegraph Company's express: "Chief Justice Wilde concluded his summing up this morning, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty sgainst the defendant." To the alienated gentry they said, if they did justice to the people the past would be forgotten; and to the middle classes they were ready to say, join us and make the solution of this struggle • peaceful one us, and your interests shall be preserved —in this our hour of triumph we are willing to stretch forth the hand of friendship to you. (Loud cheers.) The speaker then read another extract from the answer of Mr. O'Brien, which was to the effect, that " they had not ceased to hope that the great question now at issue between the English Government and the Irish people might be adjoined by an amicable settlement." (Cheers.) There was no um who desired to shed the blood of his countrymen. They wanted liberty, and not the death of any one. At the bet meeting he proposed a pledge, which would be brought to the several clubs for adoptioa by the members it they thong[ fit to do so. The pledge which had been prepared was to the effect that they resolved, in the face of the coun try, to refrain from the use of all intoxicating liquor from that day till the legislative independence of Ireland was established. Mr. J. O'HAGAN, in rising to move the first resolution, read a letter from Mr. J. Dillon, who was ill. It called on the people to arm; and in conclusion it stated that the groat body of the repealer. of Ireland were not republicaus, buten peelers, who wanted their own Houses of Lords and Com mons in Ireland under the Queen of England and Ireland. He (Mr. Oliagan) fully agreed in every word of the letter be bad just read, and be would proceed to submit the resolution entrusted to him by the council, which was as follows: Thatj we hereby repudiate so a gross calumny, the imputation thrown out upon us by Lord John Russel' ' , that the object of this Con federation is social disorder and a violent separation from Great Bri tain; and we het eby declare that ow object is now, as it always was, the legislative Independence of Ireland, sod thereby the atiainmelit of secial order and we desire that such independence may he obtained. if passible, without civil wee. This resolution became necessary in consequence of the slanderous falsehoods which the press of England asserted —that they ware the advocates of social disorder. (Hear.) I Mr. Manx F. OTIAIIEUTY seconded the motion. Ile said, that his advice to the people of Ireland was to be spa& and frank in all their actions. Hie neat advice to the immist Intend was to arm and bide their time, for they should mat gleam their thoughts and hopes too much on other .seisms; and after they were armed they should proceed to the formation of • Council of Three Hundred, and to este.- Mish a national guard of 303,000 men. (Hear.) The motion having been passed, Mr. Jonas MITCHELL, of the United Irielintan, was afraid there was some misconception abroad with regard to some thing be bad said at their previous meeting—namely, that be had expressed himself as a republican. (Hear, hear.) He expressed himself so certainly, but he did not intend, when using that expression, to commit the confederation or I any of its members to it, although he believed many of them held the same creed. (Cheers, and cries of " We do.") Every chartist, universal suffrage man, and radical re pealer, was at bottom a republican—(loud cheers)—but there was no use then in entering into considerations as to the na ture and form of the government they should have. What they wanted was shortly—lreland for the Irish. (Tremendous applause.) If the aristocracy would lead them in their struggles, they might do so sod welcome, and they should I have their Lords; and they, the commons, would have) tiedrCommons. (Loud cheers.) If he (Mr. Mitchell) spoke a republic, it was because he sow the higher classes, l Instead of joining them, signing addresses to the govern ment expressive of loyalty, which was treason against them; in fact, his personal predilections were not repub lican, but they were his predilections from necessity. (Cheers.) For his part, what he wanted for Ireland was her own parliament ; he had no objection to queen, lords, and:commons ; but it it were not granted peaceably, and they were ebliged to take the matter into their own hands, then be would say it should be a p.rliament for the people. (Tremendous cheers.) The resolution he (Mr. Mitchell) had to submit to the meeting was as follows ; That the Council suggest to all repeaters, both in town and country, that, in order to form the basis of a national guard, they Immediately form themselves Into mamas, each consisting of 20 men, living near each other, in one street or other limited district, and that each sec tion elect • master and warden, in wham they have implicit °milldams; that five of such sections (which should also have their residences adjacent) form a class, numbered clam No. I, No. 2, and so forth ; that the masters and wardens of the the sections elect • vice-preiii. dent and secretary, and that the several vice-presidents and secre taries of the classes elest a president. It was necemary, perhaps, for him (Mr. Mitchell) to men tion, in connexion with this resolution, that it would not be necessary to carry it out in Dublin. because be was happy to say the confederates were rapidly forming into sec tions, and appointing officers to command them, so as to be ready at any emergency to act as circum stances de manded. (Cheers.) The resolution was prepared and in tended for the country towns and districts, for the purpose of making the confederates in those localities arm and organise. Everything should be done openly, because they should re member that any attempt at secretly would be in vain and foolish, as the country was swarming with detectives. (Cheers.) " Wherever two or three were gathered to gether" there were Colonel Browne's spies. (Tremendous applause.) In fact, the meet treason-speaking man in the room was the man who did Colonel Browne's dirty' work, who did the dirty work of Lord Clarendon. (Loud cheers.) Who Lord Clarendon did the dirty work for, he (Mr. Mitchell) did not know. (Cheers.) The object of this spy system they should be aware of. It was doe the pur pose of furnishing his excellency with evidence to manu facture a case to disarm the citizens of Dublin. (Groans for Lord Clarendon.) That was the palpable object of the spy Kirwan, who was detected buying pike*; and when be (Mr. Mitchell) called on the magistrate to commit him for trial, he refused to do so, lest the authorities might turn on him and charge him with sedition. (Loud cheers.) Another motive of the spies was to lead the people to believe it was illegal to buy or sell guns and pikes. (Hear.) Now, he would tell them that such was not the fact, for a man had as good a right to make and sell a pike as he would any other article. There was another observation he (Mr. M.) would make on this subject. He would caution the people from purchasing Birmingham guns for 10s., for they were worse than nothing; a good stick would be a thousand times better. (Cheers, and cries of " Pikes, pikes, pikes!") As to the question of union amongst re glen, no one wished it more ardently Kean he did, and he believed a union was about to take place from what he had beard from Cork, Limerick, and elsewhere. (Cheers.) Hitherto he had said little on the subject, but he believed he had done as much to bring it about as any man, by showing that he was determined to carry the repeal. That was in his mind the true way to form a union of repeaters to dissolve the legis lative union. (Loud cheers.) Of all classes of men with whom he wished to forma union were the Orange farmers of Ulster, for he knew them well, and knew they could be depended upon. (Hear, hear.) Be would, therefore, call on them to come forward and join the men of Leiester, Munster, and Connaught, and declare that their parliament should be re stored. (Cheers.) Mr. M'Elaa seconded the motion. He agreed with Mr. Mitchell that they were not to import their freedom from France. Freedom never was the gift of a foreign nation. It should grow up upon the soil—root itself in men's hearts — blossom in their deeds—run with the course of their blood— and lead them if necessary to the scaffold. (Loud cheers.) Native freedom could alone spring from the acts of native hands. (Cheers.) They should negotiate with arms in their hands, but they would not go through another year of famine, and leave another half million of victims slain by the inhuman means that were resorted to last year. (Cheers.) The Confederation should enlarge its borders, and every man should go forth that night a recruiting serjeant for the new national guard. They should have no more words about what they intended doing. Without an army they could not do anything. They should set about creating a union of all classes in right earnest ; and the very first flash from their front ranks would drive from the soil for ever the tenants of the castle. (Cheers.) It was a base calumny against the people to say that, if necessity compelled them to draw the Orford to smite in the cause of Ireland, they would play the burglar and the petty thief. They would not break into any private house. They would not outrage any private feeling or violate any tie ; but would smite the common enemy over the heads of those who were neutral or hesitating in the cause of their common country. (Cries of " Hear," rod cheers.) He regarded no man as an enemy except the foreigner and the intruder. If they were obliged to draw the sword, as a last resource, every man would lie in the street a corpse with his hand beneath his lifeless head, or else Ireland should be a free nation. (Cheers.) He had been informed that the British minister had sent for • person in Dublin to ascertain if the Irish people would accept some parings of their rights. (A Voice,—" No; we will have nothing but the whole hog.") (Cheers.) Would they not be reasonable? (Laughter.) 'Would they not have a teetotum Parliament spinning about occasionally in Dublin ? (" No, no.") Would they not accept a; federal parliament and • Tint at certain periods from her majesty ? ("No, no ; nothing but the eld house at home'—no more burials at Skibbereen.") He did not know who presumed to take upon himself to treat in the name of the Irish people ; but if any such thing had been done—if any man went to London to treat with their common oppressor without consulting them, and if he made any other condition except a full and un conditional independence, the Irish people would tear his treaty to pieces, and he would escape very well if he did not share ;the same fete. C' A:groan for John O'Connell." — Groans.) He would tell them that they would scorn their teetotum Parliament, spit upon their federalism, and accept nothing but unconditional repeal. (Cheers.) They would have no authority but what was native; no soldiery, but what they would raise themselves ; no foreign flag should fly between them and heaven. Their green flag should float above their own towns, and go in the van with their men to battle. (Cheers.) They would fight,—they must fight ; they . would be disgraced before the world if they did not determine their cause that year. (Loud cheep.) ng land should be quick about it it she desired to restore peace, and nothing but unconditional repeal would content them. (Loud cheers.) I he resolution was adopted, and Mr. Wa.i.l.ens then proposed the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. CosTELLO, and adopted : That this Confederation, anxiously desiring a union of all. Web men, recommend to the confederate clubs that, to promote that object, they admit is membership all enrolled members of Conciliation-hall on the same terms as members of the Confederation. The following resolution, proposed by a person named DOYLE, and seconded by Mr. Sierra, was next paned That as attempt. are at present being made to entrap the people into worst associaitiens, the Irish Confederation feel it to be their day strenuously to advise to do all things openly which they may belling the meanies of the country require. These several re.olutiona having been passed, Mr. Duffy warned the people to return home peacefully and ab stain from riot ; and hoped the press would convey the mm. plimenta of the meeting to the Provost of Trinity College, and inform him that there were 20 students upon the platform that evening. (A cheer for the students of Trinity College.) The meeting then tranquilly dispersed. DISTINCTIVE BADGES FOB SPECIAL CONSTABLES.— 1 The authorities of Scotland yard have just trued to the konseholden and others, special constables of St. Martin's and neighbouring parishes, white belts, about one inch in width, to be worn on the bat and arm when engaged in I active duty. They each and all are intended to hold them selvess in readiness to be called upon on Mon Qt IRELAND. DUBLIN, Aram 6. Admiral Sir C. Napier hail arrived in Kingston harbour, in the steam-frigate Dragon, bearing his i flag; the steamers Medusa and Merlin have also 1 arrived. The military preparations are continued with un ceasing vigilance by the government. The distribu tion of troops is—the 85th, 75th, and a portion of the 57th Infantry, with a large portion of Horse Artillery and the 17th Lancers, are stationed at the Royal Bar racks ; the Enniskillen Dragoons occupy the Artillery station at Island Bridge ; the 7th Hussars and a battery of artillery are placed at Portobello; the 49th Foot at Richmond; the 55th Foot at Ship•street ; and the 43rd Foot at Beggar's Bush. There is one company of the 75th quartered in Trinity College, which is to be reinforced. Accommoda tion is in progress of being provided at the Linen-hall for the entire of the 74th. Some of the 43rd, lately arrived from Templemore, will be drafted from Beggar's Bush to Leinster House, where a squadron of the Queen's Bays will also be quartered; and, besides these, the 71st are on their way from Scotland. Another regiment of the line and two regiments of the Guards are also coming over from England. The 57th are under orders for re moval to the north of Ireland, to be replaced by the 48th, already on their march. Last evening, a mob assembled in Abbey-street, as the hour approached for the arrival of the sections, and, a few minutes before seven , a alight cheer at the corner of Sackville-street announ ced the approach of the con federated battalions. In their own eyes, at least, they looked the harbingers of freedom ; and as they they were saluted by the cries of " Well done, passed " more power ;" " that's the go ;" " where's the guns ;" and such like. To the last interrogatory one club re s plied by a unanimous snap of the thumb and middle finger, indicating, it was presumed, the sound of a percussion musket. On taking their seats in the WI they were loudly cheered. THE IRISH CONFEDERATION. DUBLIN, APRIL 6. The members of this body assembled last evening, in the Music Hall, Lower Abbeyatreet. The building, which is estimated to contain 3,000 persons, was crowdec. The CHAIR-MAN said that great changes had taken place in Europe, and in many continental countries tyranny had been abolished, and, by God's help, they would soon have a par liament in Ireland. (Cheers.) The speaker then went on to say that it was the right of the Irish people to take their own country for themselves ; and he advised his countrymen to possess arms to preserve social peace and order. A number of confederates were admitted, amongst whom were 150 from New Roo, 134 from Dublin, 48 from Man chester, 50 from Dowiybrook and Cionskea, 540 also from Dublin, 70 from Drogeda, and 5 from Blackrock. Mr. C. G DrITT. of the Nation, said he had news for them from Smith O'Brian. He (Mr. O'Brien) received last week an address from a certain Irish club is Paris, and the answer to that address excited a storm of curiosity. The Morning Chronicle received that day, expressed great annoyance that it could not lay its hands upon it, end the Lord Lieutenant would give his eye out for it ; but they would be generous—they would give it to him for nothing. (Cheers.) Here is was. Mr. O'Brien said, in linglitT to the clubto which!). referred: "I hsve seen enough of France to convince me that she is able and willing, if invited, to make an effort to send 50,000 of her most valued citizens to support the Irish nation in a struggle." (Great chewing.) The answer of Lamartine had been re ceived, and, like all state documents, it meant nothing; but he thought they could be indifferent to it, after the premiers done of their truest men ringing in their hears. (Cheers.) The union was repealed. (Cheers.) He thought so that morning, • but he had 60,000 additional reasons for believing that it was , repealed. To the Orangemen of the north they would say they t 111311 were their brothers. They 111/IPT meditated evil against them, and whoever told them they did so—lied. (Cheers.) ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Witawtcx, APRIL 5. Before Chief Justice Wilde and • amend Jury. CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL THE Qtnanx e. Gurreatoon.—At the conclusion of his speech, Mr. Gutteridge called Mr. Wood, surgeon of the Birmingham Hospital, and Mr. T. Green, with a view of ' establishing his allegat ions regarding Mr. Hodgson 's want of skill in the tying of the subclayian artery, which caused ' the death of • patient; after srlich he examined I William James Foster : Was a echoolmaster at Bewdley, in Worcestershire. Had been master of the Blue-coat School from 1840 to 1847. Left the Blue-coat School because he had an ipportunity of taking to something that he deemed more to his advantage. Was proprietor of the eitablisment at Bewdley. He remembered a particular Sunday evening, the 14th of January, 1844. Rememhe:ed on that day having occasion to wait upon Mr. Lee to request his attendance upon a boy supposed to be dying. The bey was sensible of what was passing around him. Conferred with the matron before he went to Mr. Lee. Went to that gentleman shortly after 6 o'clock. Went no further I than the hall. Was struck by his manner : tint, by the un steadiness of his walk ; then by the imperfect utterance with which he spoke. His impression was that he was in toxicated. Made the communication to him that the boy was believed to be in a dying state, and it was deemed desirable that a clergyman should see him. Apologised in Mr. Lee, stating that their own clergymen were both absent from Birmingham. Mr. Lee said that he would come; and asked at what time witness's address to the children would take place. I told him at 8 o'clock. He said that he would come and hear him. Then !eft Mr. Lee and returned im mediately to the school. Went straight home. Then made a statement to the matron. Did not go a second time to Mr. Lee. He carve at about 7 o'clock. The servant let him in. First saw him in the sick ward with the child. Mr. Lee was speaking to the child, asking him a few ques tion, on religious subjects. Mr. Lee spoke to witness u tie entered. When witness first saw hint there his impression still was that he was yet In a state of intoxication. There was a strangeness in his appearance which witness had never seen before. The child did repeat some portion, but couldn't hear Mr. Lee distinctly. Mr. Lee's words were not always dis tinct. Had witnese not known the service be could not have followed him. It was unlike his usual voice, which wu very distinct. The boy could understand. Witness's impres sion was then still the same. Mr. Lee was, in his opinion, intexicatt d. Mr. Lee did not read any portion front the Service for the Sick. Mr. Lee offered up an extempore prayer kneeling. Witness was kneeling with him. Did not remem ber any other instance where any of the friends had been present at suck a time. The mother had been in the roam. The women had left before witness entered. Witness found the mother on the stairs. After the prayer the witness lett, accompanied by Mr. Lee. No part of the Bible was read. They came out together witness being in advance. His impression still was that Mr Lee was intoxicated. In going down stairs Mr. Lee was slipping—stumbling. It appeared to witness that he might lan, and witness put up his arm to protect him, for an instant only. He did not stumble a second time. Put up his arm because he was I fearful Mr. Lee might fall. Accompanied Mr. Lee to the' matron's parlour. The matron came to request witness to go up with Mr. Lee into the sick room. Mr. Lee remained in the matron's room till supper was finished. He was there, he thought, more than half an hour. Observed him in the matron's room. Ilia opinion was unaltered—that he was intoxicated. Mrs. Lee and the matron were there, and remained with him all the time. Witness went away I during part of the time to look after the supper of the boys. The supper was later than usual. It had been de- layed in order that Mr. Lee might net go into the presence of the children. It was delayed perhaps a quarter of an hour. Witness did not wish Mr. Lee to be seen by the children in the state that he supposed him to be, in. Mr. Lee himself more than once asked to go into the' dining-room. Hoped that he might be wearied by waiting, and would go out without going into the dining-room. He did go into the dining-room, Mrs. Lee being with him. There were nearly 200 children. The matron was there, and four assistants—two male and two female. Supper was not cleared away. The dining-room was 80 feet long. Two of the teachers were at the far end. Mr. Lee was at the table at the top of the room. When the things were cleared away witness was about to commence his address, which he bad prpared and written. Mr. Leo stepped forward and said, I " will deliver the address." Mr. Lee saw that witness was about to address the children from a written paper. Mr. Lee did address the children upon oar Saviour's first miracle, from the gospel of the day, the converting the water into wine. Witness still considered him intoxicated. Supposed he had been drinking wine. It wasnot his usual manner,and was such as to strike witness as objectionanle before the chil dren. Some of his words were indistinct. Ile spoke for about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes. Ito then knelt down whilst witness read the prayers. The witness then accom panied Mr. and Mrs. Lee to the door. It was shout a quarter to half past 8 when Mr. and Mrs. Lee left. Knew Mr. Grit fiths, the solicitor. He was at that time chairman of the committee of the school. Saw him the next day. Endea voured to see him in the morning at his office, but could not. Saw him in the evening. Had some other Blue Coat School business with Mr. Griffiths. Then related the circumstance that gentleman as he now related it here. Told that gentleman that Mr. Lee was intoxicated. Told it to Mr. Griffiths as chairman of the committee. Usually reported the school business orally to him. Didn't make a formal report, but considered that by :naming it to hint he had taken all the responsibility off his own shoulders respecting the irregularity. Afterwards reported the matter to this Rev. Mr. Downes, who ought to have done the duty if he had been in town. Mentioned it to Mr. Dawnes the first' time he saw him. Mr. Downes was chairman to the School and Education Committee. Made a communication to the like effect to the Rev. Mr. York, who called upon him and expressed anxiety about the publication of Mr. Gutteridge, that had by this time appeared. Mr. York said, "It is then, your impreasion that Mr. Lee was intoxicated?" Wit ness said that it was. Mr. Yorke remained musing for some time, and then asked if any one else in the establishment had I observed it? Witness stated that the matron had, and that Be had so appeared before the whole establishment. Wits IMO asked what he could do ? Mr. Yorke said, " Nothing, if that is your impression." Told Mr. Yorke that he had had no communication with Mr. Gutteridge, and that he should have none, lie mentioned the matter to four mem bers of the committee. Cross-examined by Mr. Whiteburat . : Mr. Lee and Cap tain Tindal began to make inquiries as soon as they came. They complained of deficiencies in attention to the persons and the education of the children. They made a report in June, 1843. The system was much improved in conse quence of that report. Was not examined severely by Mr. Lee. There was no complaint of children not being clean that he knew of. Mr. Lee promised to assist him. I did not call on the two ministers. I said I did not before. I I have not said 1 did to Mr. Downes. The sick ward was no detached from the house, but unconnected with it hy any internal communication. It was a first door. We went through a yard and up some steps. I had seen Mrs. Lee in I the matron's room before I went up. I had prepared my address for the children. I did not say I had not prepared my address. That was notthe reason Mr. Lee did it. That was the reason another time, but not on that occasion. Mr. Lee delivered the address twice. The second time was in the summer afterwards. It was about June, for we had no occasion to light the gas. I have not told Oxenford, the usher, that my reason was that I had not written my ad dress. Mr. Lee's address was net like his usual ones. It was a fair one—not lake Mr. Lee's great abilities. I believe I have not said it was a very excellent address. It was a suitable address for children. I believe I have not said it was a beautiful address. I won't say I hasn't said so. I re member saying to Mr. Yorke, " Mr. Lee cannot help giving a stied address." Re-examined : I received testimonials on leaving the school. The Court then rose shortly APRIL 6 before 7 o'clock. The defendant proceeded with further evidence. Mary Anne Foster was the wife of the last witness. Left the school in the first week in November. Was mar ried a few weeks previous) y. Remembered the second Sun day after Epiphany, 1846. Thomas Bayliss was ill. He was perfectly in possession of his senses. Knew that the curates were out of town. Mr. Foster left the sehool at about 6 o'clock, and returned in about a quarter of an hour. He then went into the school to his classes. Mr. Lee cams half or three-quarters of an hour afterwards. The housemaid admitted him. Met him designedly in the hall. Observed his appearance to be very different from what it usually was. Took him straight into the parlour, and afterwards upstairs. Accompanied him her self. The mother and sister of the boy were there, and a servant. Mr. Lee immediately imperatively desired them to "leave the room." (The witness here waved her hand to imitate the motion.) lie performed no clerical duty while she was there. She was the last to lease the room. He neither said nor did anything that a clergyman would do un der such circumstances. Thought he was intoxicated. Im mediately went down and called Mr. Foster out, sad asked him to g• upstatra, as she was much alarmed on account of the serious illness of the child and 'alr. Lee's condition. Re mained with Mrs. Lee. Mr. Lee and Mr. Foster came in about a quarter of an hour afterwards. Mr. Foster was backwards and forwards, in and out. He did not continue in the parlour. lie had to see to the supper of the children. Mr. and Mrs. Lee remained till the children had nearly done. Observed Mr. Lee then to be intoxicated. They delayed the supper as long as they could, in hopes that Mr. Lee would leave. They did not wish the children and servants to see him. That was because of his excited and intoxicated appearance. He tasked her repeatedly why the children had not supper. She told him the bell would soon ring. He went up eventually to the evening lecture. The supper was not quite over then. When it D[ as, the at master was preparing to deliver his address, when Mr. Lee epped forward and said that he would deliver it. Mr. Foster war provided with a paper. Believed it was in his band. The address lasted about a quarter of an hour. Then observed great indistinctness and hesitation, and what was very different from his usual manner.
