The Express. — London, England, 1847-06-03 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1847. t extended; but the tendency of recent highs t=eghas certainly been in this direction. If ad ministrative officers are to be looked for in the House of Commons, it is desirable that there should be many each men as Mr. LISPEVRE and Mr. LEWIS to choose from. The county which is expected to return Mr. Lewis to parliament has, since the Reform Bill, been represented by three members. Before that period the representation had, for many years, been divided between the two great parties. In 1831, the anti-reforming member, Sir J. CorreettL, was ejected by Mr. HOSKINS, who has ever since retained' his seat, voting on all occasions with the whirl, ex cept on the corn-laws, as to which he declined to follow his party, either in the adoption of the fixed duty in 1841, or In abolishing the Jews in 1845. Sir ROBERT PRICE, after representing the county for many years, lost his scat at the last election from declining to support the corn laws, and two protec tionist'', Mr. BASKERVILLE and Mr. BAILEY, jun., were returned with Mr. HOSKINS. Two of the pre sent members have determined to retire: the third, Mr. BAILEY, the eon of the great ironmaster, who is himself absut to supplant Col. WOOD in the repre sentation of the adjoining county of Brecon, will receive the undivided support of his party, and is further secured by the great wealth of his family and by his own attention to local interest.. Mr. Hos eins'a seat is to be filled by Mr. LEWIS, who has extensive connexions in Herefordshire, although the property of his family lies in Radnorshire. The re maining vacancy is,we imagine, as yet unprovided for by either party. Mr. Lewis's politics are, we be lieve, those of a strong whig. He has long been employed in the public service, and possesses great and undeniable ability and industry. In addition to these recommendations, he is one of the most learned men in England. Combining with an exten sive knowledge of statistical end political science an annual familiarity with the literature of all modern languages, he is at the same time known as a profound Greek scholar and phdologia. It is, perhaps, a new argument to a county constituency to urge upon them as a recom mendation of a candidate that he has translated Bo " Public Economy of Athens," and MuaLtea's "History of the Dorian;" bat even county constitu encies mar be proud of a representative whose name is known in all parts of the continent ; and perhaps they may consider that a member is not less likely to be competent to perform his duties because he has proved that he is neither idle, nor shallow, nor dull. Great Greek scholars may often have been ignorant of the world, but we will undertake to say that no great scholar ever took in himself or others by a " great Mott case." It is likely, however, that Somerset-house will occur to the electors of Herefordshire more often than MUELLER'S " Dorian." We do not wish to re-open the controversies to which Mr. Leavi,'s conduct may have given rise. There is a general feeling that no public office could have been subjected to such an in quiry as that of last year without some damage to its reputation. Not feeling called upon to justify every act of Mr. Lewis's, we still think that his integrity and devotion to the public service were proved beyond dispute. If he should enter on the new career of a member of parliament, we have no doubt that he will be an acquisition to the legislature. THERE is little chance of the intrinsic greatness of THOMAS CHALMERS ever being adequately recog nised by the general mass. His position as a church man, as a provincial charchman, necessarily concen trated much of his attention and energy upon sub jects which , if not positively distast e f u l, p ossess a t least little interest for society at large out of his own country. And the public is but too apt to judge of men more by the sphere in which they act, than by the powers of intellect and will they display in it. It is a great mistake to see in CHALMERS merely the accomplished expounder of the peculiar tenets of Calvinistic presbyterianism, or the leader of the Free Church. His influence upon the public mind of Scotland extended far beyond the limits of his own communion; nor was that influence confined to Scotland. Few Englishmen or foreigners, what ever their creeds, came tato contact with him who did not carry away some of the contagion of his genial, earnest, active benevolence. The robust and joyous temperament of CHALMERS appears, in early life, to have given him no small trouble, before he learned to confine himself within the limited circle of his professional duties. His aspi rations were after a wider and more universal field of activity than the Scotch church offered to him. Indeed, cren age could not tame him down to prates-, sional common-place. Yet there is no reason to believe that his usefulness was impaired by the narrowing of his range • the increased intensity of his influence com pensated for its limited extent. The beauty and value of CHALMERS' life consisted in his constant teaching and practical illustration of how much any individual may accomplish, even in a Limited sphere, if he earnestly seek to do all the good within his power. Whether at Glasgow, organising his eldership for church discipline, and his deacons' court for sessional charity—or at St. Andrew's, teaching his twenty pupils the practice as well as the theory of ministerial duty—or in Edinburgh, training the future pastors of a new church—or in the dim recesses of the Cowgate, teaching the poor children of the neighbourhood—his motives and his objects were one. His inspiration was intense bene volence, his aim was practical usefulness. lie was one of those mighty intellects which " the lowliest duties on themselvesdo lay." His was the true religion which interprets the opportunity to do any good action into a call to do it, and thinks no duty too humble for it which this mute indication of Providence calls upon it to discharge. The characters and influence of another great no toriety of our day, and those of CHALMERS, are curiously contrasted. O'Corinni. did not prepare the minds of the ascendant party to concede catholic emancipation ; that was accomplished by the Buaxas and other intellectual giants who preceded him; but when the time for action came, he drilled the catho tics into an irresistible phalanx. Every attempt of CHALMERS to establish permanent orga nised bodies, however it might seem to prosper at first, ultimately tailed, if left, to him alone. On the contrary, no human being ever derived a new idea a new view of his social relations —an impulse to generous self-devotion—from O'CONNELL ; while CHALMERS has done far more good, by arousing others to exertion and setting them in the right way than by his own efforts. O'CONNELL obtained political pri vileges for his countrymen without in any way pre paring them for their right exercise; CHALMERS taught and trained many to exercise power usefully and benevolently without ever conferring it upon any one. O'Cotertr.u. was wondered at by all, 'nehmen minateairasata power ; CHALMERS was reverenced by as the in tellige nt an intelligence—and the higher the intellect judged him, the more highly was he esteemed. O'Cowitzu. was most idolised by those who came least into immediate contact with him • CHALMERS was mote dearly loved the more close an d enduring the intercourse. It would be vain to seek among O'CONNELL's inti mate ammilates or trade d for for one man of powers in lay degree a • to his own ; the great balsam and delig ht of CHALMERS was to (Un cover latent talent, to instruct, and afford it an oppor tunity of awful display. O'CONNELL opened to his countrymen of his own creed a field of action upon which he himself performed nothing, and to which lie introduced no one who could perform anything • CHALMERS, without altering one institution of his country, has stirred emotions in young hearts and developed ideas in young minds that will powerfully affect the future.

The intervention about to take place in Portugal has excited the strongest animadversions of the liberal press in Paris, as being an unjustifiable attempt to repress the effort of a people to check the obit's!' of power, and the violation of the constitution and the laws, by the sovereign. The precarious situation of the cabinet, owing to the gradual diminution of its majority in the chamber, and especially to its narrow escape on the question of postage reform, in spite of unheard-of exertions on the part of M. (linnet and his colleagues to sustain their majority, continues to be the subject of conver sation in the salons, and discussion by the press. The Madrid journals and correspondence of the 27th have been received. The same popular mani festations continued to be shown to the Queen in her walks and rides, which she enjoyed daily on the public promenades, where she mingled with her people unattended by an escort, and without other suite than tho immediate members of her husband's family. The King-Consort was still at the Pardo, nor was there any indication of his return to the capital. He had received a visit from the Infante, his father, at which it is said he announced his intention of fixing his residence is one of the capitals of the provinces. A special courier had arrived from Paris at the French embassy, immediately after which the French ambassador, the Duke of Glucksberg, went to the Pardo and had • long conference with the King- Consort. The Pope's nuncio, M. Brugnelli, was expected to make his public entry into Madrid on Saturday last, at five o'clock in the afternoon. This event was thought likely to be fatal to the hopes of the Monte molinists. Reports of a ministerial crisis continued to be circu lated, and to gain more consistency. It was said that MM. Benavides, Mazzareclo, and Baamonde would retire and be succeeded by MM. Cordova, Silvela, and Nocedal. MM. Salamanca and Mazzaredo were suf fering from severe indisposition. The latter was con fined to bed, and quite unable to transact business. The Eeo del Coniercio says that the Metes/ of these ministers gives a serious character to the situation of the existing cabinet, which already wants the energy necessary to adopt an entirely new policy. The sub stitution of MM. Silvela, Nocedal, and Cordova would according to that journal, be a very inadequate' remedy for the present weakness of the cabinet. The progressist party can alone consolidate the throne of Isabella 11. • El Herald° gives the following programme of the movements of the army of intervention : we have been informed that the troops sent on this expe dition will enter Portugal immediately. They will follow the right beak of the Douro, dislodge the insurgents from their different positions, and fall upon Oporto. Meanwhile, the troops from Galicia will enter Portugal b the northern frontier, will occupy Valenta do ]lino , now besieged by the rebels, will sweep the whole province between the Douro and the Minho, advancing to all points where their presence might be required. occupying the whole of that part of the country, and preventing the rebels to form a junction with brethren at Oporto. This morning (27th), the Brigadier Don Jaime Ortega begets his march at the bead of three battalions of Chasseurs. To-morrow, three other battalions are to leave, as well as the rest of the cavalry of Maria Christina, and a battery of artillery, to join the expedition. El Clamor Public°, noticing the fatal effects of the intrigues of the agents of France, says: Notwithstanding all the protestations of sincerity and Rood faith mado, or which will be made, by the court of the Tuileries, or its agents in Spain, public opinion will always place at their door any untoward events which may disturb the order of succession to the throne, as it is their interest that Isabella 11. should have no direct heirs so that the French prince may gather a* speedily as possible the fruits of so many sacrifices and intrigues. The interests of the house of Orleans and its partisans are in direct opposition to those of the Spanish nation, and this is why the French faction takes upon itself a terrible responsibility, and that the bonds which unite it to the house of Orleans make it the object of universal suspicion and distrust. This may be unjust ; but it is not the less true that the public instinct becomes alarmed on the slightest presumption that the French party has the intention of making a grasp at power, and that the good sense of the nation behold, only the dan gers that menace Isabella 11., whose preservation becomes daily more precious in proportion to the complicated state of our external policy and to the hostile position assumed by the rival diplomacies of France and England. To under stand the difficulties that arise on every side, and threaten to compromise the peace of Europe, it will suffice to consider, firstly, that the marriage of the queen, and especially of the infanta, did not in the eyes of many receive the sanction of the nation, as the Cortes that approved them consisted entirely of members of the moderado party, end the heterogeneous organisation of those Cortes was detri mental to their decisions as coming from a chamber the pro duce of the constitution of 1837, and of • senate for life, com posed conformable to the charter of 184.5. Secondly: that the treaty of Utrecht being regarded as binding by the great European powers, the slightest probability of the Duke of Montpenaier's becoming the hus ba nd of the Queen of Spain in case of the death of Isabella without direct heirs, would give rise to a conflict—perhaps to a war of bloodshed, of which the Peninsula would become the theatre. Thirdly : that a public separation bvtwecn the queen and her husband causing fears of a formal incompatibllity, would be turned by France and England to their own particular ends at the ex pense of our peace. Fourthly that the cabinet of St. James's beholding in the Duke of Montpensier a candidate to the throne of Spain, might sustain another and • more po one is the person of the Count of Montemelin, so as to ameemt the plans of the French diplomacy. Fifthly : that thomis bed eg split is two factions, and, -o to say, in two camps, essit fiatifiaLa pretender to the throne, the one supported by other by France, without mentioning the claims :VA of Don Francisco, Spain would bo like a slave held up isttseprize fora deadly duel. With such a picture displayed to their view, the public begin to feel the necessity for Spain to solve the questions that agitate her in a fres and inde pendent manner, adopting the rights of her sovereignty. In them moments of trouble and conjugal disunion, all eyes are involuntarily turned on Isabella 11., who is reg arded as the only link possible between the present and the future, as the only buttress against the rival pretensions of foreign powers, as the only sheet-anchor in this time of danger and peril. All true Spaniards feel this, and this is the source of the great sympathy which connects the queen to the people, and the people to the queen, es if they mutually dewed to concert together the etrength requisite for assuring, in this ter rible struggle, the triumph of the Spanish monarchy and of the national independence. Advices to the 28th ult.. have been received from Berne. The movement in that canton hostile to the ultramontane league continues to be developed. It will be remembered that Berne is now and will con tinue to be for a considerable time the directing can ton, and will hold the executive and legislative powers of the confederation. It has just elected several of the highest state functionaries from the most conspicuous leadens of the liberal party. M. Ocheenban, rendered notable as leader of the free corps, is elected President of the Diet, and thus be comes head of the federal government The func tionaries next in rank are MM. Schneider, Neuhaus, and Stemptli, the last of whom, nominated to the de partment of finance, also figured in the free corps, and all are conspicuous liberals. The grand council on the 28th voted an instruction to be given to the Borneo° deputation to the diet in favour of the sup pression of the jesuits' convents of Argovie, and to prevent the re-establishment of the Jesuits in the cantons of the league. These and other resolutions of a like tendency, expressed in the strongest lan guage, 'were paned with only two dissenting voices, those of an old patrician and an ultramontane deputy of the French party. We have received the leading Roman journals, in cluding the Co temperance and Roman Advertiser of the 22nd of May, but inthe former we do not find the name of Mr. O'Connell at all ; in the latter we reel the following paragraph among the minoellanies : Daunt or Ma.

NAPLES, Ilse 30. Neither the people nor the government of this city seem to be attentive observers of what passes out of their own sphere ; consequently the ill-feeling exist ing between the Sicilian and Boman Courts, and which has been manifest to the rest of the world for some time, appears to have become known in Naples only by means of a etartling piece of intelligence which has just arrived. This is nothing less than the fact that the Sicilian ambassador to the Va tican has taken, or, more correctly, has been given his cong 1 ; in other words, he has been recalled at the especial request of his holiness. This extremity has been proceeded to, in consequence of the too fre quent visits of his excellency to the palace of Cardinal Lambruackini, where it is well understood that the opponents of those changes which the Pope is so ener getic in his endeavours to effect, most do congregate. The connexion of Count Ludolph with this cabal was so strongly suspected that the Pope sent an expostulation to the count's master, Ferdinand IL, who in his reply utterly repudiated all participation in, or sympathy with, the acts of his representative. His Holiness lost no time in declaring that the presence of Ladolph was no longer agreeable at his court, and the offending am bassador was recalled—not, it would seem, before it was time, as may be judged from another circum stance. At a public dinner at which, not only Ludolph but Prince Leopold, brother of King Ferdinand, were present, the former refused to drink a toast laudatory of the measures of the Pope. He was promptly fisehiato, and the Prince joined in the manifestations of hostile feeling. These circumstances tend to show that a cordial rather than an unfriendly feeling exists between the courts of Ferdinand and Pius; but appearances must not always be trusted. While one set of discordant elements were at work in Rome, others were seething at Naples. By the concordat existing between the two governments, they undertake to publish each others legislative documents in their respective na tional gazettes. The Pope's decree calling to Rome representatives front each province, to deliberate on public affairs, was not published in the Giornali delle due Sidlii, and the Neapolitans re ceived their first intimation of this stride in the march of reform from the Oenevese or Tuscan journals. The Nuncio promptly sent to the minister of police—who is in some sort en editor of the go vernment gazette--and demanded the insertion of the document. The minister flatly refused to give currency to so obnoxious an edict. The Nuncio re peated his demand, and accompanied it with a threat too significant for further refusal, and the Pope's decree was inserted in what newspaper printers call a " stop-press." Whereupon the externals of amity were renewed between the Pope's nuncio and the Neapolitan officials. Seeds of discord have been, however, plentifully sown, and they will fructify ; for it cannot be doubted that the opposition of Sicily to the reforming tendencies of the Papal court is very decided. But how can this opposition be shown ? No good catholic dares openly question the infallibility of the head of his religion ; and while, on the one hand, he may look on and tremble at the innovations the Viceroy of Heaven is perpetrating, he moat, on the other, acknowledge that whatever is Ilene is being effected by " right divine." Hence it is that the prestige of the Pope's name is of incaclulable efficacy in helping on. the vast reforms which he has beguo. Whether this veneration be strong enough to keep whole the friend ship between his Holiness and his secular brother of the Two Sicilia; remains to be seen. FRANKFORT, MAY 26. The history of the Prussian diet is working itself out as was to be expected. The summer smiles which welcomed its opening are fading fast into the winter of the royal discontent that is likely . to gloom around its close. One cannot refuse praise to the conduct of the members, who have throughout displayed man liness combined with moderation, and considerable parliamentary tact. There was no want of voices who pretended that the estates, on their meeting, ought to begin at the beginning, and first debate whether they would accept a given constitu tion or not. The question of the compe tency of the present diet to consider matters brought before it, which by the promise of the late king were to be discussed by a general diet, was the first raised. The East Prussians were for opening with a discussion on this score. The men of the Rhine and the Westphalian chose to consider the deeds of the present king as at least as weighty as the sayings of his predecessor ; and that it was better to try and lay a foundation while the conjuncture was favourable for future rights, than to assume a posi tion which, could they maintain it, would have long since insured them full constitutional privileges. The policy to be observed turned upon what it would cost to show the strength of a people to a sovereign prepared to dispute such demands—whether it was better to grapple with the four hundred thou sand bayonets that fence the crown, or to accept what was felt to be a right, as a favour. The people, who acted as spectators at this debate, were, however, by no means unprepared for the conjuncture. Writers of all parties had almost exhausted the arguments for and against the popular control of a government, and although clear views of the mode of enforcing a repre sentation of the people were not general, yet there was nowhere any doubt that constitutional forms were a real benefit to the nation enjoying them. The repre sentatives had, therefore, to accept their charg e under the consciousness that they were observed by those who looked to a serious result from the summons, and whose contempt would not be disguised if they did not attain such. The first step taken was to clear themselves from all complicity in an attempt to junle the nation oat of the rights acknowledged by the Lte king. A mild form of protest was voted in the address, to the effect that the acceptance of the king's invitation to meet as an united diet, did not prejudice the rights of the provincial diets separately. This protest included by implication a reservation of the rights of the people to a general diet of specially elected representatives. The king took this in good part, but his ministers brought forward a proposal on which they bad already acted, and which they desired to have formally sanc tioned. The arbitrary mode in which a criminal process is commenced against any party by the crown is well known, and this mode has constantly been resorted to in order to bring any obnoxious individual into disrepute. Count Rdelenbech, who had made himself conspicuous as a liberal loader in Silesia, was indicted for treason daring the period of the summonses to Berlin, to afford an opportunity of excluding him from the diet. The question, therefore, was, who was to decide as to the degree of criminality or of suspicion which was to exclude from the diet. The proposed law said, the crown. The opposition maintained that the diet was itself sole judge of the fitness of its members, and in this sense, the law was rejected. A proposal to abide by the decision of a species of courts-martial which have recently interfered in the squabbles of military men, was waited. The diet had by this time been some weeks assembled, and but little progress was made in the main points which its members bad at heart, the responsibility of the ministers, the control of the budget, and the per freedom of the subject. The extract from the budget submitted to them was devoid of all proof and guarantee. The notes of the Prussian Bank were issued without their consent being demanded. The most important questions had been decided by orders in council, without consulting them, while they were assembled. These proceedings caused a number of the members to foresee that the whole meeting was likely to end in an empty and useless clisplay, "pray as it was already hinted that their endings were to be prematurely cut short. Those who these views proposed • more energetic protest against the mode of proceeding adop t n by the crown, and wished to vote a plain declaration of their rights, without caring about the effect it would produce. They wished to clear themselves in the eyes of their countrymen, and thought the earliest oppor tunity the beet. But a majority was still for mode rately vindicating their rights, in the discussions of which notice was given, and out of 613 members but 143 signed the protest, which the president refused to accept A project of • law for establishing banks, to be guaranteed by the state, for the purpose of advancing money to peanut landowners, in order to pay off their quit-nets and commuted labour-rents to the lords of manors, gave an opportunity of introducing the quer tion of the control of the finances. It was openly declared by the liberal members that they would vote no partial financial estimates until the whole state of the finances was laid before them. The chamber entered into this view, and the project was rejected by a large majority. Suck a decided step could not fail to awaken alarm and anger in the servants of the crown. The position of the ministers is a singular one. The pro positions come from the one, while they (the minis ters) appear as mediators between the King and the people ; and on this, as on other occasions, the minister himself proposed an amendment on the royal project. It is clear that the responsibility of the ministers is not acknowledged, because it might be enforced, while the responsibility of the King, hedged in with four hundred thousand bayonets, is supposed to be inapproachable. During this debate symptoms of un equivocal impatience, at the manly tone of the liberal debaters, were displayed by the president, Prince Solms-Lich, who asserted the authority of the chair in a manner that subjected him to some severe re bukes. The royal commissary, a more experienced statesman, was placed in an awkward position be tween two fires. This debate has sufficiently shown the manner in which future discussions may be ex pected to proceed. Petitions on the nicest points of constitutional law are referred to the committees, who will draw up reports and recommend their considera tion to the diet. All expectation is now strained as to the coarse the King will pursue in the face of all Europe. It cannot be denied that the members of the diet have fearlessly done their ditty. ATHENS, MAT 20. The great question of the elections is the sole object which at present occupies the attention of the minis try. They are determined upon having a majority at any cost. Detachments of troops have been sent into all the provinces which appear to have an opposition majority. A detachment of cavalry, and a battalion of frontier guards, have been marched to Patras. Another battalion of frontier guards is ordered to Tripolitza; two companies of infantry are in garrison at Calamata ; and a detachment of cavalry 11 also ordered there. All these troops are under the orders of General Colocotroni, who is also authorised, in case of need, to call out the militia of each province. These are the pre paratory measures which, independent of other means of violence and corruption, the ministry intend to make Ye ef. Intimidation te already at work, and it is greatly to be feared that conflicts will arise which will be most disastrous to the country. Many persons at Patna, known to be friendly to the opposition, have been threatened with certain imaginary accusations, if they vote against the ministerial party. On the sth, the King promulgated three ordinances, one restricting " the payment of the state expenses until the convocation of the chambers;" another, "to fix the amount of revenue for the year 18.17 ;" and the third, "respecting the exportation of Indian corn." Thus the charter is vir tually abolished, and the absolute regime, ea it existed pre vious to the 15th September, agate reestablished. In respect to the second of these ordinances, the government acknowledged that, in the absence of a law, it could not lay on any taxes ; yet it now declares that it will receive the produce by treasury agents nominated ad hoe; that is to say, it intends, arbitrarily, to fix a tax upon every con tributor. In respect to the third ordinance, it is well known that it cannot abrogate a law, discussed, voted, and pared full two months ago. Their Majesties, after taking leave of the Prince Royal of Bavaria, at Petra', made a tour through part of Continental Green:, and are expected this morning in Athens. There is nothing new in respect to the affair with Turkey. FRANCE—PARIS, JUNE I.—FRENCH CHAMBER. —ln the Chamber of Peers, the report of the commission appointed to examine the bill relative to the reimbursement of the caution-money deposited by the railway companies, was laid before the Chamber, and wilt in•erted in the order of the day for this day, June 3. Different projects of local interest were adopted. GERMANY.—PRUSSIA.—BERLIN, MAY 30. In the sitting of the second chamber of 25th May, a report was brought up from the committee on M. Von der Huydt'a proposal to petition the King that the estimates and the general revenue of the financial administration may be re [erred for examination to a committee. The object of this proposal obviously is to enable the chamber to ascertain the correctness of the estimates and the veracity of the revenue, instead of being obliged to take the word of ministers for both. The majority of the committee reported in favour of the proposal, seven voting for and five against it. Ministers laboured to ahbw that the request was unnecessary. M. Heinemann produced specimens of the French and Bel gian (constitutional states), and of the Danish (despotic state) budgets, as contrasting with the meagre informa tion which their government condescended to afford them. M. Von Offers argued that it would take tao much time to enemies a detailed budget, and the Minister of Finance was afraid it would give members too much trouble. ' The report of the committee was nevertheless adopted by an overwhelming majority. The draft of a petition based upon the report of the committee was submitted to the meeting of the 26th, and unanimously adopted. FRANKFORT, MAY 22.—The most influential mem bers of the liberal party in the grand duchy of Baden have resolved to send an address to the general diet of Prussia, invoking that assembly in the name of the German people to protect the most important interests of Germany. They lay stress upon the necessity of according to the Jews the same civil and political rights as enjoyed by the christitues. The congress of the German states which, according to some journals, was to be held at Dresden, in June or July, to concert measures of postal reform, will not meet, it is said, before the autumn. The German press, impeded in its movements by the double bonds of censorship and the exac tions of the post-office administrations, anxiously awaits from the diet a bill on the affairs of the press, and from the congress a reform of the high taxation to which the journals are en many instances subjected. The senate of Frankfort has unanimously voted an expression of public tkanks to ' Baron Mayer Anselm de Rothschild for all that he has done towards the relief of the poor ever since the high price of provisions. The heat around Frankfort has been very great for this season of the year, but accompanied by plentiful showers of rain, and the state of vegetation, in general, is such as to promise a hermit superior to any witnessed during the last twenty years. SARDINIA —King Carlo Alberto seems disposed to go hand in hand with Pope Pius IX. in the path of re form. The German Brussels Gazette announces that the Sardinian government has concluded a treaty with different Swiss cantons, for connecting the Great Sardinian Railway going to Genoa with the new lines which are to be con ' structed in Switzerland. Steps have been taken with the Enrrlish government for organising the conveyance of the Indian overland despatches by Switzerland and Genoa.

INCORPORATED NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE EDUCATION OF THE POOH, The annual meeting of this society took place yesterday at the Central School ROOTS, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster. The Archbishop of Canterbury presided. The proceedings were commenced by the usual examination of the children in the Scriptures, and the other branches of an English education, the result of which appeared to give satisfaction to the company assembled. Indeed, as an effort of memory on the part of the children, the examination could raise no ground of complaint, but it exhibited no other feature worthy of commendation. We particularly allude to the Scriptural portion, where mere names sad date. were substituted for principles in the knowledge displayed. The mode of questioning was peculiarly suggestive, the examiner in most cases reciting the information in the form of an inquiry, leaving the pupils to 8U in the last word. The general branches of the examination were, however, far more satisfactory. The singing clam, in particular, exhibited a degree of knowledge of the art, both in theory and prac tice, that reflected no little credit on their master, Mr. John Bullish, who conducted that portion of the examination. At the conclusion the Archbishop of Canterbury addressed a few commendations to the pupils, and the secretary then read the annual report, of which the following is an abstract The aosieveety's holism had priasiesny soesisted in slam to build sad the dassaratergallisele thavagifeatha SORBITY.

The committee of the National Society were happy to give their employe and approval of the recent minutes of council. in their bearings span notional schools. The. Bishop of SALISBURY moved the adoption of the report. h e Bishop of OXFORD seconded the resolution, obsery • ing upon the encouraging nature of the report, the one great subject of which appeared to lum to be, that it was, at the present moment, the bounden duty of the church and the people to raise up • duly qualified set of teachers to fill the office of public instructor ; a measure which he considered to be necessary, because there could be no doubt that man was placed in • situation which demanded that he should be continually advancing, step by step, to the extreme point of moral progression. Therefore, the office of the teacher must essentially be one of the highest and holiest office. upon earth, and should not be lightly bestowed or regarded. The teacher's business is to re-produce his own principles in hie pupil ; and therefore great pains were necessary to be stow upon them that which they were to bestow upon others. It was essential not only to teach sehoolmasttn to con sider their profession merely as a means of gaining their bread, but to imbue them with • more elevated sense of their mission : and it was also necomary that they should not employ merely clever men, who were not possessed of such attributes i but what they wanted was, a set of Church of-England chnstiana, who should consider the scriptures se the great summary of what they were to teach. The chris tian teacher should be considered just as muck God'. officer as the minister himself; and every difficulty would be over come at once. Their great object should be to train the Tieing generation in the great principles of the christian church, and after that too much general knowledge could not be inculcated. The resolution having been adopted, The Bishop of St. DAVID'S proposed a resolution, by which the meeting approved of the sound principles on which the society was based, and commended the great ex ertions which it had made, and the benefits which it had conferred upon the cause of education. After alluding i briefly to the terms of the resolution, his lordship proceeded to observe that it had been sal; for a series of years that the education of the people was a subject with which the legit !attire had no right to interfere. They were permitted to maintain large establishments, to build . gaols, and to do everythingfor the punishment of crime, while they were denied the right of taking measures to prevent crime, by elevating the people above its influence, He be tiered, however, that the sophism was exploded, and that truth would eventually triumph over sectarianism. After commenting upon several of the topics contained in the report, his lordship went on to say that the measure which had been recently . passed, giving to the working cl arets a larger amount of leuure,rendered it necessary that everyexer. tion should be made to give those classes an opportunity of turning that leisure to advantage, and it was those exertions which alone constituted the real use of the bill. Mr. Cltansroree seconded the resolution, remarking on the benefits of the proposed measure of education, both in the improvement of the condition of the teachers and of the peo ple generally, as well as the position of the National Society with regard to that measure, which he conceived would tend to its strength and prosperity. He spoke also of the exer tions which had been made by the society for many years, believing that they should be estimated less by any de cided results to which they had led, than by the number of difficulties with which the society had had to con tend; and instanced the estimate which was made hy one of the greatest philanthropists who had ever lived, Mrs. H. More, who limited the educational necessities of the people to reading and writing, as showing the different feeling which existed on the subject at so comparatively recent a period. He concluded by hoping that they would cheri s h the successful exertions of the soc iety as an encouragement to their continuance. The resolution having been passed unanimously, thanks were voted to the chairman, on the motion of Earl Powia, seconded by Mr. T. D. Aeland, the brief acknowledgment of which terminated the proceedings. THE TEN HOURS BILL. Yesterday a meeting of the Parliamentary pro moters of the Ten Hours Bill was held at the King's Arms Hotel, New Palace-yard, for the purpose of congratulating the working classes on the emcees of their labours, and also to urge them to make good use of th e ti me which the passing of the bill would afford them. Lord Ashley presided, and among those present were the Earl of Ellesmere, Lord Fe versham, end Mr. Fielder. The noble CHAULXIX, in opening the proceedings, con gas delegates from the ennnanetneing districts on Latilated e l uivamefal temekaation of their laboass.

Mr. FIELD IN seconded *a motion, and said that he fail; concurred in the view taken by the noble lord, and also in the terms of the resolution. Lord FEVlllanan said, that one of the most importser objects now to be accomplished was to extend to the female part of the factory workers the blessings which it was i n , tended this act should convey. They were, he regretted to say, a clue very much neglected. It was (aid the nobl e lord) upon the moral conduct of the women of England th t , the rulers of the nation were depending for the future mq. fare of society ; for it was idle to suppose that an inp ut or improvident mother could bring up an intellectual sad moral family. It was true there were many exceptions to this rule ; but he regretted to say that the exceptiom n ew , the minority. It was, than...fors, very desirable that every. thing would be done that could be done to encourage aa improvement in the domestic and moral habits of the worn ta of the manufacturing district.. His lordship then moved; That the most important consideration now for all philantbnishi. is, bow to extend the advantages which it is believed will result faej this act amongst the female factory worker,,, and how to eas.„.,, them in the promotion and improvement of their domestic Wil mer* especially the yammer branches of this clam of workers, :mai', all moral. religious, and intellectual requirements, by which .I. y they can be titled to become the mothers of the future gener4 o .7,7, this mighty nation. Mr. JOHN Mitts, the delegate from Oldham, seco n d ed the resolution, and observed, that he felt its import very keenly ; he had himself • large family of girls, and he amoral the meeting that, under the old system of 12 hours, he ford it quite impossible to bring them up aa he should like to do, but now that the Ten Hours Bill was passed, he wo u ld ea. &roar to do so, and would take every opportunity or encouraging his ft llow-workmen to do the same. The rm. lotion was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. JAMES MILLS moved, and Mr. TIIOXAB WARMLY seconded, the following resolution, which wu earned with applause ; That the most grateful thanks of the delegates and of the ten t s* dames gencwily are doe to the Earl of Ellesmere and loon! Friers. ham, for the manner in which those noblemen iv : i nducted the bi,Z though the Howie of Lord*, and be Mr. Meklen, Mr. brothertm, sad Mr. Aglionhy, for the owl and perseverance they displarcd in It Wyly through Reuse of the Commcco. • The CHAIRMAN said, that he fat very deeply the seine of gratitude which be and those who were immediately oso. fleeted with the measure owed to the delegates, who h a d been in London during the struggle, for the zeal which on all occasions they displayed ; and therefore he would luggew that the promoters of the bill should express themselves a t terms of thankfulness to timer men. The Earl of ELLESMERE then moved the following repo lotion, which was seconded by Lord Feversham, supported by Mr. Fielden, and carried unanimously : Th4t the noblemen and gentlemen attending this meeting, who tug charge of the bill in both hou s es, cannot am:orate wiihout e itaeiaapg their thank, to, and approbasion of, the conduct of the delegates.. by the working clauses to assiot in pari,ng the bill . roe the us ; discretion which they have uniformly &splayed during the king tat arduous struggle in which they have bar, Mr. J.

Thanks were also voted to Mr. John Wood, Mr. Id. R. (hinter, Mr. William Walker, the Rev. G. 8. 8011, and the noble chair man; after which the meeting separe'ed. APPALLING WADER. A brief account of the following case appeared in last evening's F:rpress. Early yesterday morning an aped f e m a l e was mar , demi in her bed, under, it is _pre umed, the most co o l and deliberate circumstances. The person who stands charged with the deed is, it is painful to add, a female, who, ' a few hours after the crime was discovered, sou examined before the magistrates of the Marylubone Police Court. From the evidence there adduced may be gleaned the par ticulars of the horrible affair. The night charges having been di posed of, the accused, • Mary Ann Hunt, was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson. She was remarkably well dressed, apparently 30 years of age. Sh, preserved the utmost degree of composure, and leant her : ight elbow carelessly upon the bar. The name of the murdered woman is Mary Stowell, aged 78, who resided at 40, Adam-street West, lin anstoneoiquan. Her brother keeps the Crown Tavern, BasingbalLstreee City, and the prisoner, a servant out of place, has recently lodged with her. The tint witneu examined was Battersby, 24 D, who said At a quarter past four this morning, as I was on duty in Adam-street West, I see the prisoner put her head outside of the door No 40 ; on her seeing me she drew in, and shut the eve Thinking that there was something very suspicious, I concealed emelt • close by, and watched the house till a quarter to 5, when I saw the prisoner coming out with two le.ge bandies ; the me meet she saw me she threw them into the passage, nod closed the door, shutting herself in. I went over .aid, trying the door, found it fast. I waited • few yards off till a quarter put five, when I saw the door opened an inch or t wo ; I went up and tried to open it with my hand, but could not de so , I put my shoulder to it and forced it in, when I saw the prisons behind the door; I said to her, " Do thee.. two bundles belong to you ?" and she mid " Yee." I said, "If you had been an honest woman you wo.dd have called a cab, and net have watched till the policeman was out of sight ;" she then said, • " If you doubt me fur a moment, I'll leave the bundles arid call for them in half an hour, when the people are up." I , told her that I must nee the old lady in the (root hitches, and desired her to follow me ; we went down together, and she knocked at the door, at the same time saying, " It's of no use, for she's as deaf ea a stone." I went intotke area with her, and looked through the window ; there ell no furniture at all in the room. I add, yen have told me a falsehood ; when are we coming to the truth ? she made no answer. We went up stain and I knocked at • side door in the passage ; a female answered, and I wished her to open the door of the back kitchen, but she told me that she had not got the key. I said ta the prizonet, irk* was with me, " Thislooks very a uspicious ;" when she said, " Don't say f did it." And she seemed greatly agitated. It constable was passing, and I desired him to take the primmer to the station house. I made my way into the kitchen sad found therein the body of an old lady with a poker lying beside her ; her head was under the grate. I t o, into the room and found the woman dead with a cord round her neck ; she had no gown m ; she had a large wo un d on t h e face and mend other wounds on the crown of the head, which appeared completely crushed; a great quantity of blood bad flowed, and I perceived it in all parts of the room. I awn br the doctor, who lives a few doors off, and on his attending, he said that the deceased had been dead several hours. I ex amined the bundles at the station-hone, and they contained articles of apparel marked " M. 8." The poker, which was produced, bad on it some blood, to which a quantity of hair adhered. William Crofton Most, es Upper Berkeleyntreet, Bryanstone-square :At half-put 5 o'clock this moraine I was called to the back kitchen of the house, No. 40, Adam-street Went, and there saw the body of an aged female lying on her right side; one of her legs was bent over her body, and her neck was lying acmes a fender ; a small rope was pared six times mo od her throat, but not tightly ; there was a bruise round the left jaw -bone; the body was quite cold, and the muscles rigid ; the hands were begrimed with ashes, sad the hair of the head was full of dust. A cap was lying by the side of the deceased, under whose head was a quinine of clotted blood, which had emanated from the mouth sad nostril.—Mr. Rawlinaon In your opinion, sir, bow ball had the deceased been dead before you were called in ?
