Ito the Hotel de vine, to present an address of congratulation to the provisional government. M.Bar man, forraetli rgesideut of the Council of Valais, after delivering the address, requested the govern ment to accept a Swiss flag (red with a white cress), as a mark of the cordial sentiments of the Swiss nation towards the French people. M. A. Marrast, after an appropriate reply, expressive of the sympathy of France for the Swiss in their late struggle, pre sented to the deputation Gen. Thiare, just appointed ambassador in Switzerland. M. Barman declared that the general would be most favourably received in that country. The deputation then withdrew. The Monitelir contains the following decree : Filament REYUBLIC. LIBIRTY, BRUALITT, FRATERNITY. The provisional government, considering that corporal chastisements degrade man—that it behove, the republic to expunge from the legislation all prescriptions deroga tory to human dignity—that it is a good example to set to the world—that the suppression of corporal punishments, by strengthening in the navy the sentiment of honour, most tend to impras seamen with a higher idea of their du ties, and inspire them with greater respect for themselves, and for the laws of discipline, decrees: The punishment of keel-hauling and flogging with rope's-end is abolished. Until the complete revision of the Maritime Penal Code they shall be replaced by confinement in the black hole from four days to a month.—(Signed) " The Members of the Provisional Government. Paris.

The following is an extract from a private letter received at Liverpool, dated Rio Janeiro, January 24, IS4B: " Lord Howden has communicated to the commercial body, through oat C onsu I , that all his endeavours to con. tract a treaty with the Brazilian government had been frustrated, and that in consequence all further negotiations are suspended until he receives instructions from the go. vernment at home, which he expected by the January packet. '• Should nothing be arranged between the two cabinet., imports of Britibh produce will be amenable to one-third snore duti,.s than articles of the growth and manufacture of other countries whose laws are more favourable to Brazilian interests." TITS LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOClETY.—Yeeter day a meeting of parties interested in floriculture took place l at the London Tavern, for the purpose of establishing a so. ciety for the encouragement of that art, and the permanent I support of florists in their productions. The chair was taken by Mr. Edwards, of Holloway, when the proposed rules and regulations were read to the meeting, and agreed to unani mously. One of the main rules which will guide the society will be the admission of amateurs to compete with the our , ntrymen and florists for the prises to be awarded by the eieromittee of management for all descriptions of florists' *MOM Mr. Dixon, Mr. Kendall, Mr. Neville, Mr. Bright, Mr. Shank, Mr. Back, and several other florists were pre sent on the occasion. After the routine business had been gone through a vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Edwards, the chairman, when the meeting was adjourned. THE WESTMINCTER REFORM SOCIETY met yester day, and after a lengthened discuseion agreed to the follow ing resolution: "That considering the frequently shown re luctance of this and previous cabinets to initiate and carry into law practical political reforms, whereby the tranquillity of the country has been seriously endangered, this society is of opinion that the exigencies of the country require the official &sentence of men who, by their station in life, are acquainted with the wants and feelings of the public, and who, un biassed by party, could act in a way suitable to the increased at elligence of the people." SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. CURREY, THE NEWLY •PPOINTED CLERK•ASSISTANT TO TUB HOUSE or LORDS. —Yesterday morning at half past 11 o'clock the above named gentleman was attacked with apoplexy while engaged in his official duties at the House of Lords. He was im mediately removed to his room, and medical assistance was sent for, but unfortunately without avail, as he remained quite insensible until half-pest 4 o'clock, when he expired. A provisional appointment has been made by the Lord Chanealor for the performance of his duties until her Majesty's pleasure is known as to kis successor. Mr. Currey was second clerk assistant when Lord Devon (then Mr. Courtenay) succeeded to his title, and vacated the office of first clerk on his elevation to the peerage. Mr. Birch, who was then reading clerk, succeeded the noble earl, on the ground, as was stated at the time, that Mr. Currey relinquished the honourable post to which seniority entitled him in consequence of his holding the office of auditor of some valuable hereditary estates, the proceeds of which appointments were more than equivalent to the in creased salary which he would have derived from accepting the promotion which devolved up.n him, but the holding of which would have been incompatible with filling the office of clerk-assistant. On the resignation, however, of Mr. Birch, signified by the Lord Ctiancellor in the House of Lords, on the 28th ult., Mr. Currey was nominated to, and accepted, the office he bad previously declined, but which he was destined to hold for a brief interval only, death having terminated an honourable career of public and private ser vices under the distressing circumstances above stated. THE ART OF RECEIVING A DEPUTATION.—Rise as it enters. Beg of it to be seated. Throw yourself into your arm-chair, cross your arms and legs, and listen most atten tively. Take especial care that no expression escapes your countenance. Admit nothing; but just nod occasionally. Beware of a direct answer. The less 3ou know of a subject the better ; if you are wise you are lost. Let every one talk as much as he pleases ; let the whole deputation talk toge ther if it like+ ; it flatters them and protects you from acci dents ; in fact, say as little as you can. Show all your a. al in listening and taking notes. Dispute nothing. If facts are rath. r too strong for eau, sprees your surprise. A well-timed" Indeed!" is frequently the saving of an hour. AU arguments are dangerous; they only waste time; you do not want to be convinced, and as for convincing the deputation it is hopeless—it comes already convinced. If pressed far an opinion, express your sympathy with the important cause, mid make a note in your menturandum-book to give it your earliest consideration. If the deputation does not retire, call in the revenue to your aid, enlarge on its deficiency, run largely into imports and exports, and wind up with a sharp flourish about the British constitution and the inte rests of the community. At this point your servantshould announce some important visitor. Itise, and bow your depu tation to the door, after [hooking it profusely for its trouble and intelligent adri , e. Sh.lce one or two gentlemen by the hand, and the next morning's account of the deputation will inform you that "every one was highly delighted with the extreme courtesy and affability of the noble lord." Don't look in the glass, however, for fear of I iughing.—Punek TIIE FRENCH REVOLUTION.—Yesterday afternoon an open-air meeting was held in Paradise square, Sheffield, to consider the propriety of adopting a congratulatory address to the French p ople on the present position of their affairs. Prior to the public announcement of the meeting a memo rial was presented to the mayor (F.. Vickers, Esq.), signed by more than 200 inhabitant hutrehulders, including half a dozen members of the town r oinCil, requesting him to con vene the above meeting ; but his worship thought proper to decline, assigning, as his reason, that government having refused to interfere in any way with the internal affairs of the French nation, the people of this country ought to follow that example ; and he recommended the requisitionists to abandon their project. An apprehension existing on the part of the local authoritel that some disturbance might arise from the meeting, the yeomanry were ordered to be in readi ness. Half an hourbefore the time announced for themeeting to commence the various avenues leading to the square were filed with large numbers of artisans, thronging to the place of assembly, and at one o'clock Mr. Councillor Ironside was called upon to preside. He applauded the conduct of the French, as exhibited in the recent revolution, and urged the necessity for some political changes in this country, but which he said could be b, , t obtaand by peaceable means. Mr. Iron side also read an address from the inhabitants of Sheffield as sembled, to the people in Frauce, congratulating them upon the success of their late movement, and giving an outline of the policy which it would be well for them to pursue under present circu mstances. This address, having been moved and seconded, was carried by acclamation, and Councillor Ironside was appointed to proceed with it to Parts, and to present the same to the Provisional Government. Thu Mr. Ironside agreed to do, and after some further speeches it was' ' agreed to hold a similar meeting next Monday, to Memo mine government for " an extension of the rights of . the people." A correspondent says There were from 12 t 000 to 10,000 persons present, and the whole of the proceedings were conducted in a peaceable and orderly manner." A LESSON READ BACKWARDS. The Suffolk CI ronicts says that two countrymen who lately went tq, hear a lecture on the advantages of peace at Ipswich were so much struck by the lecturer's account of the large . sums which the Duke of Wellington has received for his military services that they instantly went to a recrtutng sergeant and enlisted as soldiers. LATEST FROM PARIS. In another page will be found accounts from Paris to noon yesterday. The following is the communica tion of our correspondent since received, with news to mail hour last evening: PARIS, MONDAY, 5, r.w. The commercial alarm increases. The holders of Treasury Bonds are embarrassed to get them dis counted. No one will do them on practicable terms. To-day. three other banks are mentioned as likely to stop immediately, and all the rest are regarded with apprehension, not even excepting the greatest of all the private banks. There was much agitation at the Bourse to-day, and a decline of half a franc on yesterday's prices took place in the Threes, with a fall of three francs in the Fives. The one closed at 49 50, and the other at 74. There is a run to-day on the Bank of France for sil ver. Bat Ido not learn that there is any real cause of apprehension. It will meet all demands with per fect ease. Two small banking houses stopped payment to-day, besides that of Baudon. The decision of the government respecting the mode of reimbursing the depositors of the savings banks has had the worst effect in all the departments, and has shaken public confidence to an awful extent. The following occurrence, said to have taken place this morning, has had a very unfavourable effect. Several employers, accompanied by some dozen or so of operatives, waited on M. Rothschild, and de manded a loan of 5,000 francs upon the deposit of se curities of the nominal value of 50,000. M. Roths child, not seeming willing to accede to this demand, the masters pressed it with great urgency, saying, that in case of refusal, they could not answer for what the operatives might do. M. de Rothschild is then reported to have demanded some moments for consideration, during which he retired to another room, and caused a party of the national guard to be brought from an adjacent post, to resist by force the demands thus pressed upon him. Letters from Bordeaux say that the service of the national guard in that city is as severe as if a foreign army were a' its gates. Otters have been sent to Brest for the immediate embarkation of 1,000 men of infantry of marine for the colonies. Great excitement has been produced at Lyons, by the mayor of one of the quarters having gone, with a party of 20 men, and put his Peals on the house of the Capueines, who for several years have done the , duty of the expiatory chapel raised to the memory of the . victims of the siege of Lyons, at the epoch of the Convention. 'The financial and commercial catastrophe is fast spreading to the provinces. Letters received to-day from Nantes say that not less than twenty-two of the principal Louses of that city were about to suspend payments this week. Yesterday a deputation of merchants and manufac turers of Paris went to the Hotel de Ville, and called the attention of the government to the gravity of the financial crisis, and proposed a series of measures de signed to alleviate it. M. Pagnerre; secretary of the provisional government, who received the deputation, stated, in the course of his reply, that the government had the double mission of sustaining public credit and private credit, and that the Minister of Finance had made arrangements for keeping all the engagements of the state ; whilst, on the other hand, the establish ment of a discount-bank for trade and commerce would satisfy the requirements of private credit and also of public cred:t. After describing the main features of the discount-bank, which have already been laid before our readers, M. Pagnerre said : We are in a state of extraordinary circumstances ; that must not be forgotten. You have been able to see how the republic understands the practice of the great principle of fraternity and mutual responsibili.y. We arc far from dis- Alp ulating to ours. Ives the difficulties of your situation. afortunately sound doctrines of credit ate still far from hemp unit stood arid well applied in France. People here have little confidence, except in specie—paper does not efi.l o 7 the same favour. This error will be effaced with time. But it is on ly by c o nfidence that this result can be attained, and all good citizens ought to neglect nothing to promote it. M. Pagnerre's speech was listened to with atten tion, and on its conclusion the deputation retired, de daring that they would wholly rely on the tried wisdom and patriotism of the provisional govern ment.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Cloek.—The Continental advices are still of the most unfavourable character. In the Gazette de Cologne, letters from Vienna are cited to the effect that the notes of the Imperial Bank would no longer peas current, and that confidence was greatly shaken by the deplorable depreciation of all public and industrial values. From Frankfort, on the Bth, it is stated that the stock market, which had previously recovered to a more wholesome condi tion, had again become so depressed that no quota ' for the Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Austrian Stock, of the last or new loan, for which alone a "nice was made at 36. Every where in Germany there ap pears to be the same state of discredit and mone tary derangement. From Paris we have more failures reported this morning, and a most unquiet feeling among the moneyed and capitalists, nota bilities. It is somewhat singular, but at the same time en couraging, to see that our own public securities are so well supported in the midst of the fall of credit all around. The large majority lost evening in favour of the ministers on the income-tax has tended rather to improve the market. We have had Consols at 81i, with business done at that rate. They are now, however, somewhat worse at 807 4 to 4-, but still better than yesterday. Exchequer Bills, 28s. to 31s. premium. We have not much doing in foreign stock.

DEATH OF MR. CURREY. The LORD CHANCELLOR said—My lords, I was ea this evening to have announced to the house the appoint ment of Mr. Currey as clerk assistant. (Hear, hear.) Your lordships are, no doubt, aware of the melancholy circum stance that has occurred, and hss deprived your lordships of the zeal and ability of a most excellent servant. (Hear, hear.) My experience of the lamented gentleman enables me to say that he woe a man peculiorly qualified for the situation he held, admirably informed as to all our modes of proceeding, and most patient, zealous, and attentive in the discharge of his duties. It will be necesrary to provide for the service of the house, which at present presses very mach for assistance ; but as I understand that on Mr. Cumy's ap pointment, Messrs. Ross and Edmonds were nominated re opectively second clerk assistant and reading clerk, it will be sufficient for present purposes if those appointments be con firmed, leaving the appointment of Mere assistant for lies Majesty's consideration. The Earl of DEVON took that opportunity of testifying, front long experience and intimate agusintance, to the ex cellent qualities, both persona/ and official, of the late Mr. Currey. Motion agreed to. POOR LAW (IRELAND). The Earl of LUCAN rose pursuant to notice, to bring under the consideration of the house the present state of the Irish poor law, as regards the rating of lessors. The noble cart, who spoke so indistinctly that he could scarcely be heard in the gallery, was underetood to complain that when the legis lature removed the burthen of the rates from the small OM , piers, it threw it too suddenly and completely upon the lessors. His lordship cited several cues to illustrate the oppressive action of the law as it stood at present, and eon tended that now the landlord was the person most oppressed by its operation. He objected to the carrying out a a law intended for Ireland, with machinery which was exclusively English. The Earl of ST. GERMANS defended the lawn it stood. The alteration complained of by the noble earl had been rendered necessary by the inability of the small occupiers to pay the rates, and by the wears of misery and hardship whick their collection bad occasioned. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE raid that the Board+ of Guardians in Ireland were not to blame for their proceed ings. Admitting, es he was ready to do, the truth of the noble earl's complaints, the circumstances which gave rise to them were capable of explanation. The poor law °Nome sioncrs levied the rate. according to the course laid down by the law. The guardians bad no alternative but to follow out the instructions laid down fi.r their guidance by the com missioners, and it the noble earl felt himself eggrieved he had his remedy by the right which WA, given him under the act, of making an appeal against the rate within four months dies being made. Wily bad not the noble earl resorted to this remedy? He did not consider that the assist int poor law commissioners had, according even to the noble earl's state ment, at all departed from those laws. He, therefore, se quitted them of all blame. Lord STANLEY said that the complaints of the noble earl (Lunn) was as to the practical difficulty which existed under the poor law act of 1f43, namely, that there was no remedy afforded for the hardship of a person being set down and rated as the immediate lessor above his proper rateable interest; and even in come cases he was rated without hav ing any interest at a'l. A. to the right of eppealo twos dif ficult, if not impossible, amongst so many thousand sate payers, to discover who ought to resort to that step in time to adopt it.

There were several lots of good fat Beasts, for which, at the early part of the market, high prices were demanded, but purchasers could not be found ; and before the close, to effect sales, a reduction of fully 5 per cent. was acceded to. Fresh and lean stock met with a heavy sale, and prices considerably declined. Pigs were the turn cheaper.

The demand, though better than was antici pated, did not effect a clearance. A good demand continues for sheep, which were all sold up at Bd. per lb., except some lots of Scotch sheep, which averaged about 7d. per lb. For calves the demand evinces a slight improvement, at an ideal increase in the prices, especially for first-rate cattle ; of this description few were in the market, which was furnished with a numerous ordinary show, and those were eventually cleared off at shout former rates. Store cattle are in good demand at fully former rates, especially for any of a beefy description.
