PARIS, MONDAY. 61 rat. It was stated at the Bourse to-day, that the go vernment had been informed yesterday, that a widely ramified plot had been prepared to carry off, during the tete, a part of the members of the National Assembly, and that at the same time several quarters of the capital should be fired, after the supplies of water had been previously cut off. In consequence of this, orders were given to leave strong detach ments of National Guards and piquets of firemen in all the central parts of Paris. As I anticipated, indications have already been manifested of the intention of those in authority to let the chief conspirators, now confined at Vincennes, escape. lam informed that this morning Barbe , s attempted to walk out of the chateau and make off, and lead very nearly succeed( d. Two of his three guards connived at his escape, but the third arrested him in the act of ring out. He has been hitherto confined in the ground floor of the " Donjon." On this attempt to tho srovernor he was transferred to a room in the upper store. No one, however, be lieves in his ultimate punishment, at least, so long as the present government remains in office. The Assemblee Notionnfr of this morning has the following: Is it true that Vincennes is insufficiently guarded ? A regiment of infantry has been withdrawn. There ie only a battalion of the Guard Mobile and a regiment of artillery, whose soldier. were lately in mutiny against the colonel ! I. it true that M. Charms, Minister of War till within these few dale, has dismissed the brave colonel who com manded at Vincennes, and substituted a simplo " chef de battalion ?" It is easy to understand that a minister of war (a lieut.- Colonel) would wish all military situations to be held by officers below his own grade. Beat was this the moment to chance the commandant of Vincennes ? Will the government re ply to these questions? If it do not, we shall firm our own conclusions, and the National Assembly will determine what it should do. This may to a serious matter. P.S. The committee appointed to examine the prnjet de lot regulating the relations between the F.xecutive and the National Assembly, has, it is said, rejected altogether the clause in the bill which gave the Executive Government the power either to sit in the Assembly or not, according to its own choice, and also the clause which restricts the power of the President of the Assembly. The importance of this resolution is greatly increased by the fact of there being a serious schism in the Executive Government itself, of which the committee was iwially informed, together with an intimation that, if any change was made in the bill, it would have the effect of endangering the existence of the government. It is reported that M. Lamartine and M. Ledru•Rollin have de clared that they are prepared to give in their resigna tions; and that MM. Arago, Gamier Pales, and Marie have resolved to re-main in office. It is considered probable that M. Marrast and M. Bethmont will be elected members of the govern ment in case MM. Lamartine and Ledru Rollin resign. The accounts received from Lyons are of a most deplorable character. The disturbances which com menced in that city on the morning of the 19th in stant continued throughout tho day, and assumed in the evening a truly serious character. Barricades were erected, and the red flag once more hoisted. The prisoners arrested on the previous day had been liberated on the injunction of the revolters. The local authorities were no longer recognised, and the insurgents were masters of the city. Fresh dis orders appeared imminent.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.-MONDAY. The appearance of the Legislative Palace has lost entirely the animation it possessed during the last few days, and re-assumed, with the exception of a greater military fore, the usual aspect of the old Chamber of Deputies. The sitting was opened under the presidency of M. Sensed, about a quarter °fan:hour after the hour announced. The canruencement of the sitting offered nothing more interr.tinz than th^ reading of the " proces verbal," which has alsv.,ys the exclusive privilege of being read to empty benches. Sevt ref addresses relative to the events of the 15 th May, the adhesions of the National Ousrds of the depart ments, and prop , sitions which appeared to have no interest for others than the proposers. Amongst these, however, we must single nut one which is of considerable importance, it is the demand of a hank for mortgages, in other words, the sulmbtution of the state for ali mortgagees, or persons who have lent money on mortgage. This wan, on the motion of M. Berner, referred to the committee on legislation. Another proposition for the creation of a national bank, nth branches in the department', was also cote rtained, and rse-r•lol to a committee. On this proposition one of the members ved that, to save time, all propositions of this kind should be immediately referred to the committees to which the matter pertained, without being previously read or dis tumod to the Assembly at s public sitting. M. Dretztte, Minister of Finances, seconded this motion, it.trving that he knew that slimly at least 200 proposi tons on the question of banks were about to he matte, each of the authors of which could better support his individual Preject in a committee than before the Assembly. We now expeeted that the monotony of the sitting was ahem to be beak .n in on by some discussion u to the dis orders at Limoges, but no discussion arose. Two propositions, one relative to the reorganisation of la laiciffel councils, the other relative to the mode of con ducting the business of the committee for the project of the tonstitution, gave rise to a discussion, or rather a confused convermion. M. DEHLONGRAIR, reporter of the Commiwion of Finances, armouneed that the proposition made on the question of the extraordinary tax of forty five centimes at the sitting of Friday, has been rejected by the committee, on the ground of prudence, under actual circumstances.

There was very little doing in other kinds of grain, but last week's I pekes were fully maintained. Wheat, 465. to 49e. per qr. ; Oats, 9d. to 91d. per st.; Beans, 355. to 3ds. ; Peas, 325. to 334. per qr. • - - . Cluenceiren, May 22.—Wheat, of which the supply to day was rather Fcanty , , met a dull sale, at prices scarcely so good as on Monday lut, although we do not alter quotations. Barley in short supply, and sales extremely limited. Oats commend full prices. The same with respect to Beans. Wnsat, 101 to 121. 10s. per load. Barley, 30s. to 31s. per qr. ; ans, 20s. to 28s ; Beans, 42a. to 48s. -- . . • COLOIESTEII, May 20.—The supply of Wheat was large r to day. and prices generally ruled same as last week. Ba rley decreases in the quantity offering; and the rashaters having many of them finished their season, no alteration occurre d in price. Oats fully as dear. Beans and Peas remain the same. DONCASTER. May 20.—The supply of grain was only moderate; tine samples of Wheat sold freely, at last week's prices, and in some instances a trifling advance wee ob tained ; ordinary qualities slow sale, there being no animation in the trade. Notwithstanding advanced rates are obtainable in most other markets for Oats, there is the most limited de mand here, at,d sales cannot be effected to any extent, even at last week's prices. Dry English Beans are rather dearer. Foreign unalter,d in value. Nothing doings in Barley. The following are the prigs ; Wheat, new, 17s. to 19s. ; tine, 201. to 210. ; old, 17s. to 191. ; fine, 20e. Bleodcorn, 15s. to 175.; fine, 181. Rye, 13s. to 14s. liecns, Us. to 155.; fine, 165.; old, 17s. to 18s. Peas, grey, 15.., per three imp. bushels. Oats, 17s. to 225. ; tine, 23.. ; old, 20s. to 235. ; fine, 245. Barley, 325. per qr. IlanLaton, May 22.—We had a moderate supply of grain to-d..y, which was the principal, indeed, almost the only thing in offer, and the beet samples barely supported late prices. The malting season is nearly closed, and the show of Barleys trifling, and the few that came to hand met a dull sale. Scarcely a sample of Beans and no PM in offer. Hagar-ono, May 20. —The demand for Wheat was very slack, and prices ruled from 45s to 48s. per qr. In other descriptions of Corn we had little doing, at former prices. Ilunrtnonox, May 20.—There was more inquiry for the I best samples of Wheat, and such made Is. per qr. more money. Barley could not be quitted, unless at a small re duction. Beans, Peas, and Oats, did not vary materially from the prices of last week. •••• • • • KENDAL, May 20.—Our market was but thinly supplied with strain, which met with a slow sale. The rain which fell nti Tuesday and Wednesday last has produced a benefi cial change, and the effccts of warm walker are visible on all kinds of vegetation. KINGSTON, May 20.—We have an average supply of Wheat for the season, selling at prices the same **last week. Wheat, 48s. to 66.. Barley, 295. to 3125: LANCASTER, May 20.—Prices ruled the same as last week, which has changed the appearance of B irley field'. Indeed all young grain looks promising and well. LEICESTER, May 20.—Our COTO market has assumed a livelier tone than we have lately seen, especially at the com mencement. Wheat, Is. to 2s. higher. Barley, Beans, and Oats without alteration. Wheat, tram 465. to 525. Barley, 32.. to 365. Beans, 401.. to 441. Oats, 225. to 201. pa qr. Flour, fine, 375.; seconds, 355.; thirdP, 335. per sack. MALTON, May 20.—There has been a good supply of Wheat and Osts, but short of Barley. Wheat in good de mand., at rather more money. In Barley we do not alter Our quotations. Oats, 61. to Is. dearer. Wheat, white, 54,. to 604. per 40 stone ; red, 50s. to 575. Barley, 295. to 345. per 32 stone. Oata, 91d. to lid. per stone. PLYMOUTH, May 20.—The corn trade has been flat here the past two or three weeks, and prices of Wheat have re ceded about 21. per qr. Millers and bakers are light in stork, and as merchants do not appear inclined to give way further, theie will be a demand at some prices shortly. Wheat, 445. to 625. Barley, 28s. to 31s. Oats, 20s. to '22s. per qr. - - - - - - • - PRES/ON. Mav 20.—The arrivals since our last are unim portant. Since Tuesday we have had copious and refreshing rains, and the appearance of the country is improved. The demand for Wheat and Flour has ruled very dull this week, though offering on fractionally easier terms. Oats and Oat meal, on the contrary, meeting more inquiry, were held for rather higher rates; but any advance checks sales. We had a small supply of English Wheat at our Corn Exchange to day, which met a slow sale, and Gd. per windle advance was barely established. Fine samples of Irish the turn higher. Flour nominal. Beans without change. Oats sell s}owly. at an advance of Id. per bush. Farmers' Oatmeal is saleable at 275. to 28a. Irish manufacture in limited request, at an im provement of 3d. to 6d per load. The stocks in granary are light of all kinds of grain, as well as Flour ; but of Oatmeal fair, though not equal to the quantity generally on hand at this period of the year.—The average price of Wheat this week is 61s.

The Chntemporaneo of !tome, of 13th May, sari We might have run the risk, and a very serious risk, of a French intervention ; if it had taken place, it would have been the fault of the Italian princes, who, from ill designs, or weakness, would have betrayed the holy cause of the pimple. That Italian independence may be a reality, all, without exception, should declare and carry out war against Austria, and then there could be no neces say fur calling in aid our silica. Our natural allies certainly, would now be the French, but the danger of the contagious contact of republican armies should be seri way considered. The intervention of Fraoce might be more fatal to the cause of the princes than to that of the Italian people; but still it is well not to put things in two strong a point of view. The French nation knows that the rupee: for the nationality of other countries is the Nuevo guarantee of its own independ , nee; will she therefore interfere without being called on ? Many of the European nations would assume a right to interfere in the affairs at France if she sbouid interfere its ours. The Pied»lantese Gazette, of May 17, states: That the works against Peachier& were continued. The tiring from the fortress was kept up, but es yet without any result. Urn. Chiu 'o, Chiel Commandant of Engineers, directs in person the works of the Sappers. No attack has been made on our lines. The fee -nuisances are continued. The 22011 Marza, of the 16th, says: At Cornu la the loss of the volunteers was 200 killed end wounded. The Austrians occupied strong positions, of which no reconnabianct had been made by the Italian troops Dominic, sent a battalion of ehassears to reinforce Ferrara, but could not himself go from Hassano, u the Aosta ions were attempt- Mg to pass the PitlYll. On the morning of the 91.11, the Aus trims attacked the bridge of Piave; two cannons defend, el it, served by engineers from Treviso. The Austrians, having unmuked two covered batteries, opened a heavy fire on the engineers of Treviso, who had only time to spike their guns and retreat on Treviso. The Austrians pared the Piave at Sprosianca. It was expected they would attack Treviso, which was resolved on a determined resist. ance. The 16,000 Neapolitans arrive too slowly. Du. rondo's headquarters are at Caulella. His army, in three divisions, is at Citailella, Basuto, and Castelfraticu. A new battle between the Austrians and Ferrari is immi- I vent. The same journal says : By official news of the 12th, given by the Provisional Government of Venice, we learn that twelve Austrian ;Owlets advanced at day-break on the Gate of St. Thomas at Treviso, and were npulsed by the ar,illery. The Italians then made three sortie< whico ...motioned severe low to the enemy, and in which two cannons were taken. General Guidotti was severely wounded, and two men killed. Gen. Ferrari concentrated his forces towards heave. We read in the Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th, that the government of Modena has followed the example of that of Milan. By a decree, dated the 10th inst., it has convoked the people fur the 25th, in order that they may give their votes on their union to the kingdom of Upper Italy. On the 15th it was suited, at Florence, that Pal manova and Treviso had both been taken by the Austrians, and that Padua had been bombarded. Generals Zucchi and Durand° are stated to be entirely at the mercy of Nugent. GREECE. We hare accounts trout Athens to the 10th, at which date the insurrection in Greece continued to spread. The 0/wrier itAtUnes of the 9th contains the following account of an attempt to murder M. Mus eums, the "lurkii.h ambassador at the Court of Greece: A deplorable event hasjun occurred, to add to the sad pic ture which (Preece now present.. In the afternoon of the 4th, M. Muscat,' was in his cabinet with his wile, when one of the servant, of the embassy entered suddenly and fired a pistol at him. The minister raised his arm to protect his head, and rectived the discharge in his elbow. The assassin tied immediately, ers ing, "Long live Greece! I have k Iled the tyrant !^ but he was ar , rested in the rtreet, and lodged in prison. His name is Apostoli Nadir, a native of Constantinople, and 2.i years of age. It is said that he had no personal res. ntment against M. Mussurus. who had in fact always treated him with great kindness, and his crime is generally ascribed to political fanaticism. The wound of M. Mus eums was instantly attended to, and two shots were extracted, but there are three oth, n still remaining, having lodged in the bone. On hearing of this event, the King inimedi,trly Sent his Aide-de-camp, Rear-Admiral Sshioi, to express to M. Museurus his deep regret. CAPE OF GOOD lIOPE. We have Graham's Town journals to the 18th, and news from Cape Town to the 23th of March. The frontier continued tranquil, but many of the settlers, distrusting the pacific professions of the Kaffirs, were of opinion that none should be allowed to enter the colony without written permission. The Graham's Town Journal, advocating this precautionary measure says, " The prevalent opinion is that the Kat . - firs will repeat their aggressions—that, as their youth grow up, the same disposition to attack the colony will as heretofore be indulged, and that this, if not effectu ally nipped in the bud, will be sure to lead in the end to overt acts of violence and robbery. It is, we con ceive, of importance to bring these matters thus pub licly forward, lest, in the intoxication of our joy at the admirable skill of the pilot at the helm , we should, amidst a thousand perils, be lulled into a false sense of security and neglect to use that exertion, and to take those precautions which are essential to ultimate safety." A person named Ingram had been mur dered within a few miles of Graham's Town, by some marauding Kaffirs. In the district of Victoria the plan for establishing military villages was in active operation, tome of the choicest tracts of land having been eclectid for the purpose. There were rumours that, while the natives gene rally, from the borders of the colony to beyond Natal, appeared satisfied with the new arrangements which had been made for their settlement, many of the emigrant Boers were manifesting a hostile spirit, and expressing a determination not to acknowledge the supremacy of the British government. The proposal to erect a statue of Sir Harry Smith at Cape Town had been received with the greatest favour throughout the colony. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL—The annual general meetirg of the supporters of this excellent institution was held yesterday, at the Thatched House. St. James's ; Hear- Admiral Bowles, M.P., in the chair. The council in their report stated, in ret rencc to the agitated question of open ing the school to pupils not being sons of officers of the royal navy, that nothing had occurred, in the experience of the past year, to alter the opinion which the council th n entertained of the expediency of opening the school to a limited number of pupils not being the sons of naval or ma rine officers, at such an advanced charge as would afford a surplus income to assist in the maintenance of the school, and thereby add to the gratuitous and reduced list. I t is still the opinion of the council that this plan is prefer able to increasing the annual charge for board and tuition to those for whose benefit it was designed. In consequence, However, of the decision of the special general meeting in July last the council have determined not to revive, at pre sent, the question of further opening the s cho ol . It is in the contemplation of the council to carry out the other alternative which they submitted to the general meeting, in their state ment of the 16th of July, 1847, viz., the increase of the an nual charge for board and tuition from the present maximum payment of 26/. to 311., being the cost price, reserving to themselves the power of admitting into the school, on the present terms of 251., the children of officers whose means would not allow them to pay the increased charge. The pro posed increase would not have a retrospective effect, but would I begin on the 25th of December, 1848. Great exertions hail been made since the last annual meeting to increase the funds, The amount of donations in 1816 wan 6041. 18s. 10d. ; in 1847, 5041. Si. 7d.; the amount of annual subscriptions in 1846 was 5931. 9i. 6d.; in 1847 they have increased to 7021. 18s. 9d. The number of pupils when the council issued their statement het year was 170; it is now 178, 148 of whom piss the present maximum annual charge, and 30 are on the gratuitous and reduced list. In accordance with a 1 recommendation of the last annual general meeting, the council have adopted a rule by which the 101. nominetion right or entrance-fee may, whon preferred by the parent, be spread over a certain number of years, an annual charge of 21. 104. being sabetituted for the payment of 101 at one time. The retort also stated that the late Alderman Lucas had left a legacy of 2001. to tee institution, and that the Earl of Auckland had again placed at the disposal of the council a marine cadetship, to be competed for at the ensu in g Midsummer. The Ear l of Yarborough has invested in the names of trustee. the sum of 1,0001. in the Three per Cent. Commis, to f mild an *iititial " Yarborough Roynl Naval School Fund," and the amount of the first - half-yearly dividend accruing therefrom will be awarded at Midsummer to the pupil (banned for the navy who may stand first is the examination, such pupil having the option of either accepting the" Yarborough Repel Nasal School Fund," or one of the Admiralty presentatime. Tho receipts for the year amounted to 6,0461. 16s. 24., and the total disbursements to 5,9121. IN. 10d. The report was adopted. A vote of thanks eras passed to the Earl of Au. k land. The election of officers and the other usual routine business having been disposed of the meeting separa ed. BRIBERY: The town-council of Carlisle have adopted a petitios, praying that the bill giving the Speaker of the House of Commons power to appoint commissioners to visit places in which bribery has been proved, may proceed with as little delay as possible, and that the city of Carlisle may be included in the list of places to be visited.

Beasts were not quite to numerous as last week, and the trade continued slack. Good mitch Cows and Heikra were very scarce, and fetched very high prices. Pigs we re scanty in supply, and the turn dearer for the best descriptions. HEREVOID FAlL—There was a moderate supply of good fat Cows, for which an increase of price was demanded, and in many instances obtained, the average price of those of the hest quality being rather above than under 6d. per lb. There was a very slack demand for lean animals, and Cows with their Calves might have been bought at low rates. The supply of fat Sheep was by no means large, and in consequence, the prices asked for them were higher than late rates, 7d. per lb. being about the average price for them in the wool, and 70. for them ones. Some very prime ones sold as high as Sal. per lb. Store Sheep were very little in demand, and their prices very low. G•eod couples might also be bought very cheap, averaging from 30s. to 40s. ; few very prime ones sold rather higher, but a great many Sheep were undispoeed of. Some good Horses were exhibited in the fair, and strong ones, for agricultural pur- poses, sold at high prices, Gore 3,5/. to 401. being readily given for animals of this description ; seme sold as high as 45/. „ zsILIABOROUGH FAill.—This fair WAS well attended by dealers and farmers. The cattle market was a full one, but ' very few superior class Cows were offered ; and high prices were obtained for those of good appearance. Young cattle sold readily for the English and Scotch markets; and great numbers wore disposed ofto home-graziers. The value of a certain cline of dry Cows and lie ifers has fallen—perhaps 10s. a-head—within the last six weeks. Sheep in high con dition were readily diposed of, and commanded good prices. There were a great number of store Pigs offered, and a good deal of business was done in them at comparatively increased rates of value. S 'me good Horses were shown ; the ma. jority, however, seemed below the average qualities usually seen at this fair. Roadsters and stout young Horses, likely to become suitable fur saddle or harness, met ready sale at prices ranging from 121. to 201. NORWICH.—Our market exhibited an immense show of store Cattle: in fact, there being so few buyers, trade may be considered as dull as on any day this season. What few sales were made barely maintained late rates. Fat Beasts a large number, and trade dull, at frem Cd. 9d. to 71. 6d. per stone of 141bs. The pens were well filled. lloggets, keep ing Sheep, Ewes, end Limbs were lower, by from Is. 61. to 21. per head, without a clearance. Fat Sheep, Ss. to Bs. 6d. per stone, and nearly all sold. In store Pigs and tat Pork no alteration worthy notice. DAOIIIIIIDi MAY FAIL—The show of black cattle was large, but inferior. Store Heifers sold from 91. to 111. per head; strippers, from 71. to 101.; and the number of Springers exceeded former years, and, in general, a better description. Many met a ready sale, both for the Dublin and English markets, and for the locality. Beef rated from 50s. to 60s. per cwt., sinking the offal. Young stock was numerous, and of fair quality, and many of them purchased for England. The show of Sheep was limited, principally stores, which m'tt a brick sale at remunerative prices. The show of l'igs was large ; bacon Pigs sold from 5Gs. to 60s. per cwt ; stores in good demand. - • Meta TILYST.—At this market there was a fair show of cattle as to numbers, and a large proportion of them were in fine order. Owing to the fall of the prices of fat in the southern markets, dealing was dull, both for fat and store Cattle. Two year-old Scuts, of the best dasciiptin, brought from 91. to 101. P.h.; secondary kinds, from 71. 10s to 61. 10s. ; and inferior, from 61. to 71. The top price of fat did not exceed 75. 34.; current, from 65. 3d. to 75. down to 6s. 64.1. per Dutch stone to rink the offal. Calving Cows sold at good prices. The supply of fat greatly exceeded the demand, and the rates were out of their natural order, cam paring lean Dearts with fat. The drove Cattle from the northern counties stood long, and a large number remained unsold, although offered on terms disadvantageous to the 'entre. FOILFLE..—The display of fat was superior to anything that has appeared on the ground for a long period. Prices of fat on the decline. The pick of the market was sold at 7s. 6d. per Dutch stone, sinking offal ; good at 75. ; and some as low as Gs. 6d. Cattle for the grist was at a higher figure conforming.

ItKPORL—Poor-bonses thelinid) Hill- THIRD READlNG.—Arpiirnment of F.ocletiastical Districts BiLL JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL. • • The Duke of RICHMOND, on presenting • petition from a place in Huntingdon in favour of this bill, said he wu astonished at its being sent to hint for presentation, his feelings on the subject being well known, but it was ac counted for when he found it addressed "to the care of the Secretary of the London Election Committee, 4, Charlotte. row, Mansion-house." This was the way in which one half of the petitions in favour et the bill were got up. He did not think Lord J. Russell had been guilty et so dirty a job, or was at all cognisant of it; nevertheless it accounted for the number of petitions which bad covered their lordships' table. He presented this petition because he was bound to do so, but he heartily hoped their lordships would not grant its prayer. (A laugh ) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that as the debate on the second reading oftbe Jewish Disabilities Bill would oczu. py a considerable time, he hoped that noble lords who bad petitions to present on the subject would endeavour to do so to-morrow (this day). SCOTCH PEERAGE. The Earl of EOLINTON moved, " that the person who styled himself Lord Culvile, or Lord Colvile of Ochiltre?, at the meeting for the election of the sixteen peers for Scotland holden at Edinburgh on the Bth September last, having failed to establish before this house his claim to vote in respect of such title, his claim to vote in respect of such title be disallowed."—Agreed to. neighbouring clergy would never have allowed kiln to MO of starvation.

I will oder eo further remerks on the hon. gentleman's statement, because a: the report in the Times, the only one which I have rend, appear: to be Incor rect, I may be commenting on that which the hon. gentle: man did not say. He quoted a letter from a correspondent, giving an account of a clergyman who ro e over the country ptri.rming seve ia l duties on the Lord'eday, at churches at great distances trout each other. My p ersuasion is that this statement, it inquired into. would he totted to relate to facts which took place some }ears ago. And I must he permitted to remark that it the boa. gentleman's correspondent had communicated the facts to the bishop of the diocese at the time when they took place, in order that means might he taken to prevent their recurrence, he would hare shown a more sincere desire to correct the abuses in the church than by the course which he bas taken. PUBLIC EXPENDITURE. The Earl of El LEN BOItOUCeIi rose to move for the returns of which he had a iven notice, namely— That there be laid before this. house account of all charges of which the amount wan voted and appropriated from the public revert. In ICU, and which were defrayed out of the corwolidakd hand in 1847; also sit all charges defrayed out of the eon KAM:dent fund its 1778, o f which the amount was voted and appropriated from the 'Wylie re venue in 18;7 . . Mowing the amount of c Bch several charge in each year torn 11438 to 1847, both inclusive, and whether defrayed from the consolidated fund, or voted and appropriated from the public ..... —.. revenue in each year. , .. - He trusted their lordships would permit him to draw their attention to two returns on their table, showing the expendi- tore and miscellaneous estimates for the last ten years. That period had embraced three administraious, but he could not say that there had teen any great economy practised by either. Almost every year had shown an increase of revenue, until latterly ; taut we had no longer a revenue equal to our expenditure, and there was a great reluctance on the part et the people to any increase of taxation. The prosperity of the country—the revenue of the country—depended in a great degree on the manufactures we were enabled to export; and in the pre sent state of the continent it was impossible to supp,sse that the demand would be such for some years as to enable us to export so much so we had done. If the convulsion of Europe lasted long the state of things which existed at the c.ose of the late war might return, and by the destruction of the manufactures abroad the demand for ours might be in ' creased; hut no man could desire to see such a result. We were now drawing on the balances of the exchequer; that, however, could only be a temporary resource; e.ur only per manent resource was in real economy, and therefore he wished to draw attention to this subject. (lean) We were at the commencement of a great and p-otracted struggle —the convulsions of the continent were such that we must remain in a state of preparation for war; and be might, in passing, I sa y that this was no time for a proposition of organic: changes. On the contrary, it would be their duty to resist anything of the kind; the absence of all agitation in this country would alone enable them to preserve their iustitu tions. But it was the duty of the government and parlia ment to show to the people of this country that its constitu tion could give them every advantage that was enjoyed in any country in the world, undo r any form of government, and an extent of public economy which had not yet pre nailed. (Hear, hear.) No government could stand long in this country which was not sincerely, strictly, and thoroughly edonomical ; but if any government should fall from a want of economy, its fall would bring down a very large ponies" of the constitution with it. (Hear, hear.) He would now, at once proceed to draw their lordships' attention to the enormous increase which had taken place in the miscella neeus thane" in the course of the fast tea years. In 1838, after deducting all 'penal charges, the charge for miscellane ous service was 2,332,0001., and its 11447 it was 3,689,0001., showing an apparent increase of 1,327,0001. But, from the manner in which the account was made up, the charge fee the Irish colleges did not latterly appear ; it was, therefore necessary to add that charge, amounting to nearly 60,0001 . in lithe year 1847 ; and tne total increase would then be 1,587,0001. in 1847 on the miscellaneous service alone. But certain charges had been transferred from the county rates and the poor rates, amounting to 268,0001. The items for harbours of refuve and the Caledonian canal were also two ' greet charges, amounting to 190,0001. Deducting, however, all that had been transferred from the county rates anti the I poor rates, and the charges for the harbours of refuge and the Caledonian canal, the total increase in 1847, as compared with 1838, was 805,000!. And now he would direct atten tion to what these charges consisted of. The charge for pualic works in England bad been constantly increas mg during the last 10 yearn. In 1838 it was 215,000, whilst, in 1847, it was 376,0001.; making certain deductions, the average increase would be 119,0001. Then there was the sum of 844,0001. for the houses of parlia ment ,• and here he might say that no persons viewed with less pleasure than their lordships the extravagant expendi ture in decorations both within and without the houses of parliament. All this finery was incongruous—it was not SS tel to a house intended for the transaction of public business —it was more suited to the vain-glorious age of Louis Qua• tone than to the present time. (Hear, hear.) There was another charge which he saw with regret—namely, a heavy sum for building at Buckingham Palace, which had fallen' too, on the year 1847, ape nod of public calamity. (Hear, hear.) lie hoped there would be no farther outlay under that head until the revenue equalled the expenditure, (Hear, hear.) He could not help, also, referring to an item of 22,000!. for a palm-house at Kew, which he thought conld not be justified, considering the state of the country. (Haar, hear.) He would next draw their lordships' atten tion to " salaries, &c., in the public departments." After deducting the charges connected with the poor law there was an increase here of nearly 164,0001. ; and he also also regretted to observe that within the last year there was an excess of 88,0001 under the bead of " print big," as compared with 1838. The charge for commissions had also risen from about 2,0001. in 1838, to upwards of 15,0001. is 1847. In the Privy Council Office and the Office for Trade, in which the whole of the railway business had been conducted, the increase in the last 10 years had been 12,0001. ; and the charge in 1847 was rather more than in 1840, although in the latter year the railway department, at an expense of 17,0001., had been added. It was, however, sstisnctory to observe that, upon the whole, although by the system of centralisation a greater amount of business was thrown on the government, the increase of salaries in the great departments was but slight, and it was more than counterbalanced by the decrease of the salaries in the two houses of parliament, there having been in that department a dimieution of 47,0001. The sum charged for the ecclesi astical commission had but slightly increased. For the poor-law c ,mmission the charge in 1838 was 54,0001., and that had only been increased to 59,0001. Under the head of " law and justice " the actual in crease of the latter was 176,0001. The law charges in 1847 were not stated, and he had, therefore, taken the average, and found the total increase to be 204,000/. under the head of "law charges." The excess in the charge of prisons and convicts alone amounted to 167 0001. The cost of prisons alone last year amounted to 110,000!, and convicts to 370,0001.; and this had taken place by the side of an enormous increase for public educa tion. The charge under that head in 1838 was 107,0001., hut in 1847 it was 284 0001., showing an increase of 177,0001. (Hear, bear.) Tne next item was that of "arts and sciences." Our patronage of the arts and sciences bad been of rather recent date. In 1838 the charge was 55,0001., hdat in 1847 it was 131,0001. The increase in the charge for the British Museum in 1847 was 60,0001.; and the total sum expended on that building within the last ten years was nearly 400.0001., the amount laid out in purchases being almost equal to it. There was also an increase of charge in the scientific departments of the army and navy. He did not mean to say that many of the causes of increased expenditure he had indicated had not been attended with advantage, but the house should recollect that there was no longer* surplus revere e to deal with. Another point to which he washed to call the attention of the house was the gradual increase which had taken place in the expense for eaval packets. Since 1841 that item had increased to 334,0001. per annum. Then there was the item for dis embodied militia, 150,0001. per annum. The militia had bean diee•mbodiei many years since, and he was not aware that there was any intention of again calling out that forte, and yet the staff was continued from year to year at a large expense to the country. (Hear, hear.) Another great item of tx,,entie was the charge for what was called the suppression of the slave trade. lu addition to twenty-six vessels on the roast of Africa there were uvula off the coast of Brazil and in the Mozambique Channel, and other items connected with the adjudication of prises in the West Indies. All these items should be looked into ' • aid although he was willing that every efficiency should be given to the government, till, in • time of decreasing revenue, it was absolutely necessary that all expenses which would bear delay should he postponed, and that all which could be dis pensed with should be abolished. (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, who was most indis tinctly heard, was understood to say that no objection could be offered to the production of the papers. The house should be grateful to the noble east for his statement, and every one must admit that the suhji et was a most peeper one for dis cussion in a time of decreeing resenue. The tendency, howev, r, to increase in the public expenditure which the noble earl had noticed had ton exhibited itself exclusively during the time of the present government, but had been gradually going on during several years past. Many of the items, too, it should be remembered, bad been forced upon government by the parliament, and not by government on the parlament. The house would hardly expect hints go through the noble earl's statement in detail, but there were one or two points of which he should take some passing no tice. Now with respect to royal palaces, especially Buck ingham Palace, it should be remembered that its os fitted up ore- i• ally for a sovereign who had no family, and of course ri quip d enlargement for the family of her present Majesty. lAt time of the r,pairs the public op.nion was in favour of building a new palace, which would have coat a million and a half, and it was her Majesty and the go vernment who, against the public wash, adopted the more commies:A course. With r apect to the packet service the cause of increase was obvious. The great advance of steam navigation rench red it nicer.wry that steam-vessels sh iuld he suhstituted for the old descriptiondescription of packets. The noble earl had also alluded to the expe n ses of the new houses o. p ellen ant; and this he (the Ma:quad Lans d o wne ) would say, that whenever expense could be checked without im pairing the general design, such retrenchment should have bin trust cordial support. He thought that if noble lords and members of the House of Cummons who constantly complained of expense and asked for information at times who., it could not he afforded would form themse lves into coos ntittees of superintendence, a great deal of the public money might be saved. The British Museum, of which the noble earl bad taken some passing notice, was, it should be recollected, an establishment very different from what it had been 20 years before. Additions were bring constantly made to its contents, and, consequently, additional accommodation and additional offioen must be provided There bad been, it wes , . id bine to die I know that e destitution; of drinking, titer& habits. can of Lincoln ath ; lint if a eirchuse of in- re than die in • • remarks on the report in the 11 . 6 to be Moor- • to hon. gentle- . correspondent, ver the country at churches at ion is that this u relate to facts at be pi emitted .espondent had diocese at the teens might be have shown a he church than to move for tke I elterges of whisk public wrens., in atcd hand m 1847; • • lung I. 17: ;8, of • m the iniebe ee- -1 charge in each ter &Mayen from from the public to draw their ilia( the expendi- last ten years. inistraiuus, but en any great :very year bad latterly ; but penditure, and he people to any he country —the t degree on the and in the pre- 1' e to suppose that is to enable us to rulsion of Europe d at the c.ose of ntruction of the rs might be in- ch a result.

As soon as I read the report of the hon. gentleman's speech in the Times newspaper, which represented him to have said that two clergymen in Lincoln or the neighbourhood hod died of starvation [no such observations were attributed to tdr. Horsman in the Daily News report] thinking that such a statement cast a great stigma upon the clergy of the county, I requested the hon. gentleman to furnish me with the names of the two clergymen. In his answer he tells me that the report in the Times is incorrect; that he did not state that two clergymen had dicd of starvation ; but that he could give instances of clergymen who had died in such a state of destitution that it would hardly be too much to say that it was bordering in starva tion. In confirmation of this ; as I asked him for two cases, he enclosed an extract from a report made to him on the subject in January last, and of the correctness of which, in all essential points, he had no doubt. He adds, they are by no means the only cases of extreme destitution and suf fering which he could cite : "la the parish of Auborne, six miles and a quarter from Lincoln, there died in the year 1834 the Rev. Mr. Watkins, the vicar of that perish. He came there in 1810, a widower. Some yearn atter he be came afflicted with a cancer. Of course he stood in urgent need of the best medical assistance, but his income, 541. per annum, and that sometimes not regularly paid, pre cluded the possibility of his obtaining such advice. His disease became so terrible, and, superaddrd to the misery of his position, weighed down his health and spirits so heavily, that he was driven to the consumption of opium in order to produce atupefaction. Thus he went on for several years. The services of the church were of course neglected. Sometimes there was no service hz six or nine weeks together—no administration of the 'sacrament for two years. A large dissenting chapel sprang up, and the district soon became, what it still remains, the focus of dis sent. r , ornetimes, when the poor vicar awoke completely to a sense of his position, it is reported his feelings proved almost maddening. lie had no one to care for him—not even a servant to look after him. He was obliged some times—so deep was his poverty—even to beg his daily bread. He was forced to the humiliating necessity of asking for the smallest sums of money from neighbouring deny, not as a loan, but absolutely as a gift. At last death put an end to his sufferings, which it must indeed have required all the fortitude at a Christian minister to endure—agony of body, agony of spirit, agony of mind He died with no other attendant about him than a charwoman, and he was buried at the cost and by the din ction of the cli rgy of the adjacent villages. Nor is this a singular case of din revs. Within the last few days a case has occurred it. this very city, by no mesas dissimilar from that I have depicted. The nieumbent of a parish of 9.31, a year, two mil, s from the cathedral, has died. His death wns C: , ioned, 1 ern sorry to say, by his own excesses, and therefore that amount of pity canna be entertained for him the: must be felt for the poor sie •i of Auborne. But the account of his death—l have it from one ' cognisant of all the facts—is dreadful. He had been some time ill ; his wife was also ill. The only other person in ine house was a little workhouse girl of fifteen or sixteen sears of age—a dreadful beginning of lite, indeed, for her. In the middle of the night this child was awoke by the poor man's groans. She went to his room, found him wrirning in extreme agony, threw a sheet over him, and left him to expire. A dog could scarcely have Gird mere wretched.y. ' It was not till late in the evening that any one could be got to approach the wretched death.bed. When they searched the house not a single coin of any kind nor a single ar ticle of food was to be found. The body of this clergy. man of the established church of England and ireand was interred at the cost of Archdeacon Bonney." On the first of the two caws, which occurred 14 years ago, when I was not resident in the county, and consequently I could not be acquainted with the circumstances of tudivi dual clergymen in it, I can sae little. I remember only that Mr. Watkins was represented to me as very poor ; and, if my memory does not deceive me, he had once been confined for debt in Lincoln Castle ; but r am confident that the
