The Council of State held yesterday an important i.:rting, which was presided over by Louis Napoleon. The Prince President arrived at the Palais efOrsay at half-past twelve, and did not take his departure until six. Thus the debate, opened and closed under his superintendence, occupied more than five hours. It appears that the subject of this long deliberation was the proposal of the government to bring in se veral bills, either fur the imposition of new taxes, or for the augmentation of old ones. It is proposed in the first place to levy a sumptuary tax upon carriages, horses, and dogs. f he following duties will be im pieell on private equipages, (roitures de luxe.) Four-' wheeled carriages at Paris, 120 francs; two-wheeled carriages at Paris, 60 francs. In communes of a ropultlinn of 30,000 souls and upwards, four-wheeled carriages 9O fr. ; two-wheeled, 43 fr. In communes of a population between 4,000 and 50,000 the two classes of carriages mentioned will pay respectively 60fr. and :it/fr., and in communes of a be. population 301 r. and 1. fr. Carriages painted with armorial bearings will pay an extra fixed duty of Mfr. Carriages serving for commercial purposes will not be sub jected to the tax. A tax of Sfr. will be imposed on all dogs. The government proposes also to levy a duty upon paper and pasteboard of all kinds. Be sides these bills others are in preparation for impos ing progressive stamp-duties on the registration of conveyances of certain kinds of real property, and for increasing the excise duties on ardent spirits. I mentioned latterly that the mayor of Lille had resigned on account of a dispute with the prefect of the Nord on the subject of processions. It appears that the government was at first disposed to admit that the mayor had taken a just view of the case in pronouncing public religious pro ecoions through the streets to be contrary to law ; but we now learn that • telegraphic despatch has been received at Lille, authorising the public et k bration of the procession of the Fête Dieu. The arguments by which this decision in favour of the Roman catholic clergy is upheld are curious. The government maintains that the law prohibiting such processions only applies to cities where there is a protestant church. Now it is true that there is a protestant church at Lille, but its existence cannot be recognised by law, because such churches are arctic:sled by the law only in places where the protestant population amounts to 6,000. This is not the case at Lille. The church there is only tolerated, not recognised; and its existence, therefore,Cannot bo adduced as a legal impediment to processions. The fallacy of this jesuitical logic is easily exposed. In France, where every sort of worship is subsidised by the state, there is obviously a very good financial reason for making the construction of a protestant church conditional on the number of the . protestant population of the district. But as there is no imps dinient to the construction of protestant churches, whatever the population of the district may be, pro vided the charge be not osseous to the state, the pro hibition im nesnly a Seed one. On the other hand, the prohibition of preensions rests upon grounds of public order and dsesncy, and the protection to which all citizens an entitled against the public ex hibition of spenseles revolting to their coneciesess. The logic of the Jesuits, thereon, fails by the he terogeneous applisation of a bill rids to anal a consideration of • leech higher dowseler, and alto gether social. The realist ofjeriedislies relative to the mime of the Orleans propel?, will be argued before the Council of State to.amerow. As the bout aP the hopes that were entertained by the friends sit e ?: family of a favourable Emboss grow Water. It is still understood that the ripen of the esssittee will be in favour of the compeense of the aorta of law,_ but it is calculated that la the body Odin entice if the Council of State with when the ultimata daisies rests, about two thirds will "Mt be the goverment. One-third will, indeed, be as sottraordinary nisiarity, coimiderieg that the sennellisre of state have so se curdy for the ecestisissee ef the I,OOW. a year that each of thin cmisys, beyond the good plosion of the President Whiten: may be the remelt of to morrow in s legal point of _ viva no use doubts for a swat that the saniheatiss will be rigorously preened with.

EDINDURCIE.—Mr. Macaulay, the historian, will, it is said. be pat in aossiastioc for Edinburgh city, pro vided be will ecassat to sit if sleeted. FLINTeIIISE.—A correspondent states Mr. Edmund Peel, who atilt started as a candidate for the boroughs (as a DerLyite), has now abandoned the boroughs, sod come forward for the county. The sitting member is the Hon. Mr. Mostyn, sad will oppose Mr. Peel. In all probability there will be a severer contest than has been witnessed in this county for many years. There will also be a contest (or the boroughs, between Mr. John Ilm i m er , son o f t h e sitting member e ndl a Mr. Wynn, who comes forward on conservative peinciples. HUNTINGDONSUIRIL—RETURN OP LORD MANDE- YlLLZ.—Yesterdity the election of " a fit and discreet knight of the shire" to represent the county of Hun tingdon, in place of the late Owego Thornhill, Esq. took place in the Shire-hall, at Huntingdon. Lord M.ndeville, the member for 'lewdly, was the only candidate ; and there being no opposition, the proceedings were of a routine character. His lordship was proposed by 0. W. Rowley, Esq., of the Priory, St. Neat's., ano the nomination was se °ended by Rev. James Linton. Th e Hi g h Sh er iff t h en declared Lord Mandeville duly elected, and the noble lord having returned thanks, the proceedings were brought to a close. MANCIIESTER.—The sitting members, in again of fering themselves for election, are not following the track of the new candidates by attempting a personal canvass, but are addressing large meetings of the electors in the wards. On Wednesday night they had a meeting with their con stituents in Hahne, at the Baptist Chapel, Great Jackson street, and on Thursday night a meeting with their con stituents in Ancosta, at the Mather-street Temperance Hall. Both plates are commodious meeting houses, but were crowded very densely in a few minutes. The abort time committee, who espouse the cause of the new candi dates, have attempted oppositions at these meet ings on the ground that the present members opposed the Ten Hours Factory Bill, and have succeeded in forting great numbers of their friends into these meetings. How far the advocates of restriction , are wise in thus trusting their adherents to listen to the earnest eloquence of two of the foremost friends of free in stitutions is yet to be seen; but it hu been matter of ob servation that at these two meetings the men who went in rude and noisy, apparently determined to hoot the hon. gentlemen down, remained to listen, becoming so intensely interested in the speeches as to forget their vocation. A pin might have been heard to drop whilst Mr. Bright was speaking on Thursday night upns the course he had talon upon the Factory Bill, and when be declared that it having become law, he was un willing to disturb the act, and that himself and partners strictly complied with its provisions in their owu works, loud cheers burst from the whole meeting. Mr. Milner Gibson indulged in a little good humoured banter at the expense of the opposition. A resolution that the honourable members were deserving the confidence of the electors was put at each of the meetings, and carried all but unanimously-only two or three bands being held up against them. Norrisonsm.—A fourth candidate has announced his intention of soliciting the suffrages of the electors of this borough. We have now all shades of politics. Oa the whir side there is Mr. Strutt ; on the radical, Mr. Gis borne ; Mr. Walter comes forward as a conservative whig ; and Mr. Sturgeon's sentiments are thus pat forward in his address just issued:—" I am for manhood suM'age—the vote by ballot—the abolition of all property qualifications, both in the elector and the elected—for the payment of members—for the immediate repeal of the whig Septennial Act, and for the annual election of the people's representa tives—for free trade in all its ramifications, and in the most comprehensive sense—and for reform in church and state." BOUM NORTHUNSERLAND.—A requisition is being signed for the purpose of calling a public meeting of the liberal electors of this division at Newcastle, to devise mea sures o immediately bring forward a second candidate. Mr. Liddell, the Derbyite, in the mean time is out on his =um SOUTH LANCASTIIRE.—Mr. John Cheethem, the new liberal candidate for Booth Lancashire, mot the free holders of the county at Rochdale on Thursday evening, and yesterday noon those of Bolton. Both of these were highly respectable and summate meetings, and the usual resolutions of approval having been inalonsitted, were carried unanimously. STAYPOHD.—Mr. R. N. Philipps, of the Inner Temple, is outramiug the borough of Stafford as the liberal lateral. THE CANTERBURY DUEL. Captain Vivian has addressed a letter to the elec tors of B•dmin, in which he intimates that he will not again solicit their suffrages—his participation in the pro ceeding connected with the recent duel between Mr. Smyth* and Colonel Romidy having slimmed an essential portion of the support by which his return had been effected. Captain Vivian ears : " Not long ago one of my oldest and dearest Mends came to me, and reposed, with all the implicit reliance and truth of friendship, his honour in my hinds. After lianas well weighed the whole ease put before me ' with a dee sense of a ll its extreme responsibilities, I felt satisfied that there was no opportunity for any compromise of any kind, and that the sole alternative left to me was either my abandonment of • friend, or my abiding by him, even to an brae which I knew would be in 1 1 the most favourable oontingency, very prejudicial to my in- teresta.

DUBLIN, iIINII 11. THE NATIONAL EXHIBITION.-THE INAUGURATION. The scene witnessed in Cork yesterday was not only brilliant and exciting as a spectacle, but was full of cheering hope for the country. It was a magni , ficent demonstration of national energy and national resources, and coming as it did so soon after the seven years of desolating famine, seemed specially de signed lor the purpose of rho% iug the world that the national vigour was as far as ever it was from being exhausted. The whole was the result of the briefest preparation. It is only a few months since the first idea of the exhibition we. conceived, and it was then proposed that it should be confined to the mere pro duce of the locality itself. It was first mentioned as a simple exhibition for the province of Munster, when our late Viceroy, the Earl of Clarendon, who perhaps teok more interest in the industrial improvement of Ireland than any other man that ever lived, sug gested at once that it should be made national, mid handed in his own generous contribution to encou rage the promoters. His suggestion was unhesitat ingly adopted and acted on, and the result has told successfully for it. Never was anything of the kind better managed. Committees were formed in the principal towns of Ireland to co-operate with that of Cork, and funds and the warmest and most cordial aid were poured in from every quarter. Like its great prototype in London, the exhibition building sprung into existence as it were by magic, and the contributions with which it has been filled have been more numerous and more beautiful than even the most enthuaiestic ventured to anticipate. The Grand Saloon of the Exhibition, in which the ceremony of the inauguration took place yesterday, is 182 feet in length by 53 feet in breadth, and 50 feet in height. It is covered with an arched roof, which is composed along the centre of glass. 'this ent're structure is built of yellow pine wood, the walls and arched ceiling being divided into compart ments by richly treseellated girders. With consum mate taste, the wood work has been left of its natural colour, ha ving: been simply planed and varnished, thus showing the rich grain and mellow tint of the timber. The south end of the building is occupied by a splendid organ by Telford. This noble instru ment is erected on a lofty platform, approached by a series of steps, whereon the orchestral. disposed. The sides of the ball to one-half their height are covered with fine paintings exclusively the production of Irish art. They have been contributed by the National Art societies, and by individual artiste. Each picture is let into a panel suitable to its size, the whole forming an indescribably rich and grand effect. Grouped along the entire length of the hall are ' planed the choicest triumphs of the sculptor's art, from the studios of Hogan, Nt'llowall, Kirke Foley, and other Irish artists of eminence. In the centre of the hall is erected a handsomely designed hy draulic fountain, from which springs a jet deau, making sweet gurgling music, and spreading around it delicious coolness. Immediately in front of the organ and orchestra is erected a platform, approached by four steps, and covered with a rich carpet of the moat brilliant colours. Here were placed the chairs of state of his Excellency and the Countess of Eglinton. These chairs are of beautiful design, and richly finished in blue derma and gold. The north end of the hall opens by a lofty arched en trance into a vestibule, at the extreme end of which is a gallery. The aspect of this noble structure is truly magnificent. But who that witnessed it will forget the unrivalled scene of splendour exhibited therein yesterday? The entire of the vast centre hall was one rich parterre of full-dressed beauty, being all occupied by ladies. Tier over tier the side seats presented a dense and continuous mass of gentry and citizens. Two hundred musicians, vocal and instrumental, occupied the orchestra, conducted by Mr. Joseph Robinson; whilst seated before the organ, robed in gown of white and crimson satin, was Dr. Stewart, T.C.D., the composer of the music of the inauguration ode, shortly to be sung by the full strength of the choir. I take the following account of the ceremonial of opening from the Southern Reporter : At 11 o'clock the doors were thrown open, the executive committee having previously post e d a t eac h of them effi cient doorkeepers, and taken the further necessary pre caution to reinforce these offices by guards of the con stabulary force, which bad been sent down from the Phcrnix pant, Dublin. At this hour ladies eel were allowed to enter, it having been judiciously that gentlemen should not obtain admission LLasfi area. Were it not for this the confusion would be.. been Immense. At 12 the gentlemen were allowed to lain their seats, but by that boar nearly the**, of the emmasered mats were Weedy occupied by the Ye porde. Wien ammunity, who had been accorded the ph*. of *dim sob*, and the number of "lords of the aneffee hmanate enough to get places was oonmquently very limited Wood. Immediately oa the opening of the doers to geademen, all but the reserved seats became filled at miss, and from that time till his exosilency's arrival, all was anxious and breathless ex pectancy. The mem, dudes this time, was really magnifi cent. The coup red of the Om* Southern Hall, planned by Mr. Benson, p.E., and truly creditable to that gentleman's abilities, and executed under the joint superintendence of himself and Sir Thomas Deane, was one of singular beauty. At 20 minutes past one o'clock the special train, contain ing his Excellwy and *mite, arrived at the Cork station, from Bandon. His Ezoelleacy was accompanied by the Countess of Egliatna, the Earl of Bandon, Lord Bernard, Hoe. H. B. Barnard, Lod Carbery, and several ladies. Oa' the arrival of the train the military bands present played " God save the Queen," and a flag was immediately hoisted on the Cara Motet, as a signal to a park of artillery, which had bees stationed in the camp Said, and from which a salute was fired. Their Excellencies wore then conducted to the Exhibition Buildings, for the purpose of opening the Exhibition, the whole way being lined with troops. His Endless, made his semis, accompaied by a large procession, amid loud cheering, in the following order; — The Mayor's Secretary ; Mr. John Benson, C.E., designer of Southern Hall; Mr. John Shea, Hoe. Sec. to the Este caries Committee; members of it:e Executive Committee, two and two; members of the Town Council, two and two, attired in civic robes; the City High Sheriff, Mr. F. S. Bestial* ; the Lord Lieutenant, supported by the Earl of Hendon and Lord Bernard; the Countess of Relates. leaning on the Mayor, and Captain Dnepr, and odor members of his Excelleney's mita; Mejor-Moosol Nowell and hie staff. In this order the procession adenoid elsedg to the southern end of the Fine Arts' Hall, where a plate form had been erected, in front of Telford's grad erase, en which the chair of state was placed for his Excellency. Her Excellency the Countess of Eglinton wore a boa* tiful scarf, ornamented with the Cork areas, is the appro. priate colours, and exhibited in her breast • large beempost of shamrock. Her Excellency was sammindedlly the la dies of Lord Bandon's family, who assompaied lose and di* Lord Lieutenant. On reaching the plat's= Mrs. Hackett was pre ented te her, sad most = received by her Excellency Mr. Janie ' then took his plain as conductor, is he* ef the made gallery ; Doctor Stewart, Mus. D., west to the wpm, sad Mr. Levey likewise took up his place, *leader of the or chestra, which included, together with • bast of prohssional talent, both from Dublin and Cork, the eat** sad prac tised voices of our Ancient Concert Society, the members of which most laudably gave their valuable assistant* to the great national festival. After a delay of a few moments the magic wand of Mr. Robinson was waved in sir, and the grand music of the Hallelujah chorus burst on the delighted ears of those present. It was truly magnificent. The execution was beyond praise • and the effect proved that, amongst the many advan tages possessed by the hall, its acoustic qualities could not be well surpassed. When it closed, according to arrangement, the addresses were pre sented to his Excellency, and responded to. At this period of the proceedings . the Lord-Lieu tenant conferred the honour of knighthood on Mr., now Sir William Hackett, the mayor of Cork. An address from the corporation was next pre sented, and after this the inaugural ode, composed by Mr. Waller, the Slingsby of the " University Magazine," and the music by Dr. Stewart, was perms Lamed with brilliant effect by the organ and choir. The ode having been performed, their Excellencies is lt their place to make a tour of the hall, escorted by tasmabffs of the Executive Committee, and the sinsbers of the viceregal suite, which occupied about twenty minutes, both of them expressing the highest delight at its appearance. On their Excellencies . again returning to the platform and resuming their seats, the Grand Coro nation Anthem, by Handel, was splendidly performed by the orchestra, with Mr. Robinson as conductor. Mwst immediately after their Excellencies and snits, with several of the most distinguished visitors, proceeded to the committee-room, where they were entertained with a sumptuous lejeuser, prepared under the superintendence of Mrs. Fitzgerald. At its close the lady of the Honorary Secretary, Mr. John Shea, was presented to her Excellency. The Lord-Lieutenant subsequently proceeded to visit the Queen's College, where an address was presented to him. The Inauguration Banquet, which took place last night, was given in a magnificent pavilion erected for the purpose, and ornamented with great taste and judgment. About six hundred persons sat down to dinner. Sir W. Hackett, mayor of Cork, filled the chair, and on his right Exceliency the Lord Lieutenant occupied a chair of state. Saunders's News Letter states that Mr. Amgen has made an offer to the committee of the Royal I Dublin Society to expend 10,0001., or if necessary 20,0001., in the erection of a building in connexion with or upon their grounds, for the purposes of • grand National Exhibition, the profits incidental to the admission of the public to bo derived by him, land the articles and products exhibited to comprise those of native growth, cultivation, and workman ship, and, in addition to these, such foreign products ' as may be made available and productive in Ireland. If thig project be carried out, we shall huve another grand exhibition in Ireland. The Galway Vindicator states that several English and Scotch capitalists are at present vipiting the west of Ireland in search of profitable investment for their money. The purchasers of some of the recently sold estates in and around Galway are beginning to pay visits to their newly acquired property. A ship now at the Galway quays is taking on board several large blocks of tine black marble for the London market; and among the new exports from that locality are larr quantities of brushes, manufactured at Mr. Ronan Brownville factory, and which arc now shipped or London. The following gratifying account of the state of the crops and appearance of the country is given by the Northern Whig: During the last ten days I have made several short trips into the Counties of Down and Antrim. The improve• ment in the growing crops for the preceding two weeks has been very great. The early sown oats and potatoes both look extremely healthy and well—l never saw them look better at this season of the year. The later sown are progressing very f,vourably, but don't Strike the traveller so forcibly. The districts I was in were not famous for flax, but I observed a few very good patches, and two fields that were poor enough partly missed, per haps from bad seed. The beans in the Lamle district looked very healthy and wall. The late rains have done wonders for the grass—both graving helds and upland meadows—consequently there is a geed prospect of plenty of hay this season. What little wheat thero is looks ex• tremely well ; it could do with dry weather from this to harve4 ; the breadth of land under it is every yeas getting more circumscribed.—The gardens are loaded with email fruit, and all nature iu the Vegetable kingdozo seems to be teeming with young life. The country never Looked more beautiful than it does just now. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 11.—B.1).

SANT TALLY REPO/M.-At the last meeting of the board of guardians of the Holborn union, held at the board-room of the workhouse, Orly's-inn-lane, James Low, Esq., in the chair, the following letter was received : London Auuranci Corporation, 7, Royal Exchange, London, June 9, 1832.—Gentlem en ,— 1 am de sired by the governors and directors of this corporation to draw your serious attention to the condition of the drainage in the house No. 30, Great Ormond-street, Queen square, and its immediate neighbourhood, the cor poration having sustained a loss of 1,0004, which was a.sured only in August last on the life of Mr. Thomas Williams, a healthy young man, aged 23 years, and who died after an illness of 12 days from typhus fever, alto. gether occasioned by the foul air arising from the drains of the borne, as you will perceive by referring to the registrar general's report for the week ending Feb. 21, 1852. We have paid the loss, and fear we have no remedy against the commissioners for improving the metropolis, the COMMlE always of sewers, or the Irani& ; but it seems to the di rectors of this corporation a serious reproach to one or all of the three that any drains eho.,ld be left in such a state as to be the certain cause of untimely death to one, and it ma 7 be to many individuals.—l am, Me., P. HARDT, actuary. —Mr. Lloyd moved a resolution to the effect that the sub ject be referred to the district suveyor for inquiry, and that the clerk, in acknowledging the receipt of the letter, re commend the London Assurance Corporation to make ap plication on the subject to the commissioners of sewers, with whom the power of remedying the evil rested.—Dr. Garlick said he bad found the stench from the date of the drains in other houses of the same street to be intolerable, and the came of sickness and death.—Mr. Goldsmith, Mr. Pearson, the chairman, and others having spoken on the subject, the resolution was unanimously_ adopted.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—We last week announced ' the melancholy suicide of Mrs. Targets, of Laventock. At the inquest since held, before Mr. Wilson, it transpired in the evidence that, after giving up two of her children to the relatives of a former husband, she exhibited symptoms of mental aberration. This induced Mr. Mile r , her medical attendant, to give strict orders that she should be narrowly watched, sad he also recommended that she sho u ld b e plane d under restraint. As the husband had a natural repugnanois to adopting the latter alternative, he requested the daughter and halt-sister of the deceased to keep • careful look out, but she unfortunately eluded their vigilance, and, having possessed herself of one of has husband's razors, she cut her throat in the mat frights ful m . Her husband and relatives, finding &bola& escaped, ran up stairs to seek for her ; and on h= their footsteps she ran out of the bedroom with her cut and the razor in her hand—the blood spouting onr husband's face and clothes.
